my grandfather was qin shi huang

Chapter 55 Come on, father, the princess picks it up

Mei County is not only the base of the Mengxi Bai clan, but also the gathering place of many old Qin clans. This group of people almost accounts for the vast majority of the population of Mei County.

Different from ordinary people of Great Qin, this group of people are the real heroes of the old Qin people. On the road to the rise of Qin, their elders are there every step of the way.Almost every family has ancestors who have made great military exploits, every family has people who have been honored, and every family has ancestors who paid the price of their lives for Daqin!

Although they are now in decline, no one can deny the loyalty of this group of old clans, and no one can ignore the influence of this group of people, although they almost never care about the affairs of the court.

Although the first emperor has been doing a lot of infrastructure construction, paying special attention to the construction of transportation and hydraulic power, which can be regarded as the ancient version of infrastructure madness, it has not reached the level of roads between counties and townships.

Therefore, when the carriage turned onto the small road to Mei County, it became bumpy and bumpy. Zhao Ying, who was sitting in the carriage with the first emperor, was shaken. I have the thought of running.

Considering his current physical fitness, riding in this kind of carriage is purely suffering.

"Father, I've seen the roads along the way. Although the roads in other places are occasionally in disrepair, most of them can still be seen. Why is it so difficult to walk in Mei County..."

Zhao Ying grabbed the armrest in the car with one hand, and supported the swaying Shihuang with his beard disheveled by the bumps with the other, and asked a little puzzled.

The First Emperor smiled wryly.

"You think I don't want to cultivate? It's those old stubborn people who don't want to cultivate..."

Zhao Ying: ...

"Why?"

"They said that the situation in the imperial court is difficult, and there are many places to spend money, and they refuse to let the imperial court pay for them to build roads—what else can I do..."

When the first emperor mentioned this, he couldn't help sighing again.

This group of people, he can have a hundred and a thousand reasons to dislike this group of people. They are pedantic, stubborn, resigned, and don't know how to adapt. They even strongly opposed Shang Yang's reform back then, but he has one reason to like them .

That is loyalty!
This is a group of Daqin's most loyal and reliable warriors, the most trustworthy and entrusted team.

With this reason, the first emperor was willing to respect them three points.

Hearing this, Zhao Ying was taken aback for a moment, and then nodded deeply.

No matter in any era, there are always such a group of lovely people who are willing to do something for this country, and make a little contribution that may be insignificant in the eyes of others.

This group of people is.

I admit, you are a bit pedantic, but also a bit cute.

But you can't help but build roads!

Isn't this a fool!

Zhao Ying hesitated for a while, and finally raised the curtain, stopped the carriage, and then jumped off the carriage.

"Father, why don't you come down and take a walk first..."

The first emperor hadn't been to Mei County in person in the past few years, and he didn't know that the original path had been so dilapidated.It was probably too bumpy, so Emperor Shihuang hesitated for a moment, and then jumped out of the carriage.

Only by walking in the wilderness of the Great Qin Dynasty can you truly know what the traffic is.

Every piece of land has the same size and length, and every ridge of crops is neat and uniform, and there is almost no gap in the distance between rows. It is like a well-groomed army. It is so rigorous and meticulous.

Just by looking at this kind of crops, one can know that it is really reasonable for Qin to destroy the six kingdoms.

Zhao Ying, who was born in the countryside in his previous life, was shocked when he saw this scene.Except for the road under the feet, which is really difficult to walk, there is really nothing to complain about.

"Father, since they don't want to spend the court's money to build roads, why don't they join in the slack time and repair them by themselves..."

Zhao Ying, who woke up from the shock, asked thoughtfully.

Shi Huang glanced at him, as if he didn't feel naive because of the superficiality of his question, but a glint of appreciation flashed in his eyes.In governing the country, the most feared thing is not not knowing, but pretending to know, or making wild guesses.If you don't know what to be afraid of at a young age, you will have opportunities to understand in the future, but if you have the bad habit of pretending to understand or making wild guesses, it will be the real trouble.

"They refuse to accept any care from the imperial court. Those who have no military merit must participate in the corvee arranged by the government during the slack season. Even if they don't need to participate in the corvee, they must practice riding and archery according to the requirements of the clan..."

Zhao Ying nodded slightly, knowing it in his heart.

In short, it is a tiger that can't die, and you have to save face to hold on.

At this moment, Emperor Shi Huang glanced at him suddenly, and said with a half-smile.

"However, although I can't help them, it doesn't mean you can't..."

Zhao Ying: ...

I will help.

Seeing Zhao Ying's dumbfounded and bewildered look, Shi Huang couldn't help laughing.

"What's the matter, my champion general, are you really planning to be a polished general for the rest of your life..."

When Zhao Ying heard the words, he suddenly realized, and looked at Shi Huangdi with surprise.

"You mean, you mean, let me recruit troops here?"

The First Emperor smiled and nodded.

"However, the soldiers here are not easy to recruit. Whether you can recruit them and how many you can recruit depends on your own ability. I can't help you..."

Zhao Ying knew that Emperor Shi Huang was not unable to help, but was testing his ability, so he nodded immediately.

"it is good--"

The first emperor personally sent himself here, which is equivalent to explaining everything.

If this is the case, if I can't recruit people, I will basically be useless, and I don't have to think about anything in the future. From now on, I will hide my name and just train my muscles without growing my brain. When the Qin Dynasty perishes, maybe I will return I can change my name and surname, go to Liu Bang's dog to be a guard or a fierce general or something, and make a living.

The grandfather and grandson walked on the road for a while, but after a short distance, Shi Huangdi couldn't help sweating from the forehead, and couldn't move anymore.

He looked at the sky and calculated the distance.

A narrow smile flashed across the corner of his eyes.

"Father, are you tired? I have a quick and comfortable method here. Would you like to try it?"

The First Emperor glanced at him in surprise.

"What can you do—"

"The way is..."

As Zhao Ying said, he chuckled, leaned in front of Shi Huangdi, and hugged Shi Huangdi with a bow.

First Emperor:……

However, he did not wait for him to refuse.

Zhao Ying jumped out like a wild dog running loose.

The speed of the 3000-meter obstacle course is close to 6 minutes. It is no different from flying on a straight country road, although it is a bit bumpy.

Zhao Ying felt that his current speed definitely broke the 6-minute record.

Whoosh whoosh—

Just as Shi Huangdi was about to open his mouth, he was blown shut by the oncoming force. He saw the treetops on both sides of the road quickly retreating in his eyes, and the white clouds in the sky also flew away, making him a little dizzy.

However, fortunately, this dog's hands are very steady. Although he ran very fast, he really didn't feel any bumps.

Sure enough, fast and comfortable.

However, my majesty is gone!
