"Prince, it's time to wake up. Today I have to inspect the construction of the Great Wall." Xiaotao's sweet voice reached Fusu's ears, waking him up from his dream.

It is already late autumn, and it has been more than three months since Fusu came to this world, but every time he wakes up, Fusu still has the feeling that he is in his home or dormitory in the 21st century.Every time he wakes up, Fusu hopes that this is just his Nankey dream, but when he wakes up, he knows that he is truly living in the Qin Dynasty.

Fusu stretched her waist greatly, put away the unhappiness in her heart, and said with a smile: "Xiao Tao, I made an agreement with you yesterday, and I will go with you when I go to inspect the Great Wall today, you should also prepare."

"Ah?" Xiaotao was taken aback, "Your servant thought you were joking yesterday? The prince is away on business today, so how could this servant follow you?"

"I'm also a prince, how can I trust what I say, the so-called golden words. Well, don't take it off, you are ready to come down and follow me." Fusu said in an unquestionable tone.

Seeing Fusu's insistence, Xiaotao no longer resigned, so she just nodded and said, "Well, I hope this servant won't drag the prince down on his business."

Seeing Xiaotao's respectful expression, Fusu couldn't help but feel emotional. If there is such an obedient girl by his side in modern society, I'm afraid I would wake up laughing in my dreams.

After everything was ready, Fusu took hundreds of people and Xiaotao to the Great Wall building not far from Shangjun City.Meng Tian didn't go with him this time, after all, he also has his own business to do, so it's impossible for him to stay by Fusu's side all the time.He was sitting in the carriage, and there was a low table in the spacious carriage, with wine and food on it. Although it was not very rich, it was already heaven for the current situation here.Not to mention the pro-military people who were on their way outside, the folks who were building the Great Wall not only didn't have enough to eat for a day, but they might be crushed to death by boulders at any time.But Fusu couldn't do anything about it. Although he sympathized with these peasants from the six eastern countries, it was an order issued by the imperial court that they must build the Great Wall in the north to defend against the attack of the Huns.

Fusu also talked with Meng Tian about why the Great Wall was built. Leaving aside the imperial order, Fusu thought from a modern point of view that it was a labor of labor that used the lives of a few people to create a history. It's just a miracle.But Meng Tian didn't think so. He analyzed the various benefits of building the Great Wall to Fusu: "First, the land south of the Great Wall is fertile and suitable for growing grain, while most of the land north of the Great Wall is barren and can only be used for grazing. It completely separates the nomadic tribes in the north from our Central Plains. After all, the people in our Central Plains are not suitable for living on the grasslands, and vice versa; second, the Huns always want to invade the Central Plains, plunder property, and food And the population, we want to resist, but we are forced to garrison thousands of miles of frontiers. If we build the Great Wall on the border, the Huns will not be able to drive straight in. We can also use beacons to remind the Huns of the attacking position, so as to avoid them before they attack. We can’t find a point of defense at all times, which will cause unnecessary losses; third, for us, we can also find a support when fighting the Xiongnu, and use the Great Wall as a boundary, which can be used as a limit for withdrawing troops; fourth, , and the most important point, the emperor and his ministers wanted to call all the able-bodied people from the original six countries to build it, so as to prevent them from being instigated by others to cause violence.”

After hearing Meng Tian's words, Fusu realized that the purpose of building the Great Wall was not simply to resist the Huns, but also for economic and political reasons.Moreover, these benefits are not all benefits, and it is impossible for Meng Tian to see through all the thoughts of Qin Shihuang and his ministers.In his old concept, Qin Shihuang was a tyrant, and he built the Great Wall and the mausoleum are all manifestations of his brutality. Now that he thinks about his actions, he is suspected of flaunting himself, but more of them are from the cause Considering Qin Guo's own development, he couldn't help feeling a little admiration for this father he had never met.At the same time, he also had a new view on Meng Tian, ​​a well-known general in history. It turned out that he not only knew how to lead troops in battle, but also had considerable insight in politics.

Fusu, who was leaning on the wall of the carriage and meditating, felt that as soon as the carriage stopped, he knew he had arrived at the construction site of the Great Wall.After getting out of the car, looking around, on the broad grassland, one by one bare-chested men are carrying bluestone bricks several feet square on their shoulders, laying them on the foundation that has already been laid. On the foundation, then use something to fix the bluestone bricks.As long as anyone does not try their best, a whip will be thrown on them. At the same time, the whip will be accompanied by shouting and scolding, but they are like meek lambs. They did not resist the whip on them, just continued Looking at their own movements, they seemed to have been paralyzed, both mentally and physically.

Seeing this scene, Fusu couldn't help but frown.He has said many times that the supervisors should treat those laborers well, but it seems that in the eyes of the Qin people, these laborers from the other six countries are not human beings, so they didn't take his instructions to heart.

Seeing Fusu coming at this time, the steward here rushed over, knelt down in front of him and said, "The villain has seen the eldest prince."

Fusu just nodded slightly to him, and said indifferently: "You can show me around, I haven't come here for a few days to check."

The man was busy leading the way, and took Fusu to look at the edge of the Great Wall, which was still under construction.

"Xiaotao, do you believe that this humble place will become a miracle in the world in the future. Once people unite to do one thing, their power will be great. It will stretch for thousands of miles and tower into the clouds." Fusu looked at the servants who were working hard at the scene and said to Xiaotao who was beside him without emotion.

Xiaotao blinked her big eyes, and said with a smile: "As long as Prince Fusu says it, Xiaotao will firmly believe it."

Fu Su was immediately amused by her words: "Haha, I'm not a fairy, and I can't say everything is true."

While chatting and laughing, the two of them came to a section of the foundation of the Great Wall that was being built with bluestone bricks. Here, there were also several hard laborers who were moving huge stones up, and they were all panting from exhaustion. Obviously, each piece of stone weighed hundreds of catties. Heavy.When these hard laborers saw Fusu coming over, they worked even harder. They could see that the person who made the managers here so fawning over him must be a high-ranking official of Qin, but they didn't have the strength to hate him at all. They only knew that work.

Seeing the sweating hard labor, the chatting and laughing of the two of Fusu disappeared. Fusu looked at them for a while, and finally he could only sigh and said: "Give them some rations today, and don't deduct their rations in the future." The steward only agreed.

"There's only so much I can help them with, hey." Looking at them, Fusu's mood suddenly changed, and Xiaotao on the side also felt the change, and she didn't dare to be casual beside him. spoke.

At this time, a thin man next to Fusu suddenly slipped, and the bricks on his shoulders pressed down, making him unable to move. A supervisor on the side saw this scene and shuddered. He took a whip and scolded: "What are you doing, why don't you get up and continue working." After speaking, he whipped again.

Fusu saw it, and shouted: "Stop!", then went up to try the brick, and found that it was quite heavy, but he could still move it by himself.Without the consciousness of being a prince at all, Fusu lifted up the huge brick himself, and said to the man: "You can come out with a little effort."

Seeing this, the guards behind rushed forward to help Su.At this moment, the elbow and armpit changed, and the person who had been crushed by the brick suddenly came out from under the brick like a spirit fox, and at the same time, a blue light flashed in his hand, and stabbed at Fusu's chest.

At this time, Fusu's hands were resting on the brick, and it was too late to resist, so he had to dodge to the left, avoiding the vital parts of his chest and heart, and the dagger in the man's hand plunged into Fusu's right side. shoulders.Fusu stopped shouting, and the strength of raising his hands turned to smashing downwards. Before the man got out of the range of the huge bricks, his right foot was broken in an instant.Only then did Fusu feel that his right shoulder was numb instead of burning pain, and he knew that the dagger was coated with poison.

Although it is slow to say, it all happened in the blink of an eye. At this time, all the guards rushed to Fusu. Everyone was stunned by this scene. Then someone woke up from the shock and pulled out a long gun. Sword, if you straighten your long spear, you will smash the man's body into thousands of pieces.

The man calmly looked at the guards surrounding him, and was killed calmly.

"Wait, I want to live." Fusu tried hard to maintain his sobriety.

Only then did the guards change the weapons that were going to stab him to surround him, but the assassin's eyes revealed a look of contempt: "I won't say anything. I will exchange my life for Prince Qin to help you!" I have earned Su's life."

At this moment, a ray of cold light suddenly shot towards the assassin from a forest hundreds of steps away, followed by another ray, which was aimed at Fusu.But this was seen by Xiaotao who was looking around in panic, she screamed: "Prince, be careful!" During the cry, she threw herself in front of Fusu. Hit the target, one assassin, one Xiaotao.

When the guards rushed forward, they only saw a black figure on a horse gradually disappearing.
