Ten thousand Imperial Guards were already waiting outside the city for Zhou Hao to leave.
Parked at the gate of Meng Mansion was a gorgeous two-wheeled carriage, with four knights guarding the carriage.
Inside were Prince Fusu and his daughter Princess Chenxi. Fusu had offended the First Emperor for unknown reasons two days ago and was driven to Meng Tian to serve as a military supervisor.
The First Emperor asked Zhou Hao to escort him to Jiuyuan County. After all, a weak scholar could not be protected by four guards over a long journey. As for Princess Chenxi, she voluntarily accompanied her father, while Ziying stayed in Xianyang.
.
"Sir, Your Royal Highness, it's time for us to set off," Zhou Hao said, wearing armor and riding on the scenery.
A hand stretched out from the carriage and lifted the carriage door curtain. Mr. Fu Su smiled and said: "General Xiao Meng, it's freezing outside. Come in and warm yourself up."
Look at how caring a person is for his subordinates, but it's a pity that he is too pedantic. He committed suicide even though he knew that there was something fishy about the death edict.
Zhou Hao: "Thank you, Master. It's not very convenient."
If there were no female relatives, he would actually get in to keep warm. Legend has it that Qin Shihuang rode in the same carriage with Meng Yi, not to mention the young master Fu Su. This showed that they were considerate of their ministers.
Zhou Hao's position as Lang Zhongling was dismissed after only a few days of service. He had to be away for at least a month. He had to have someone to guard the palace and convey the emperor's will. However, he really didn't want to be the Lang Zhongling, and he didn't want to be a powerful minister.
"General Meng, I thought you were different from others. I didn't expect you to be a common man. Since my father asked you to come in, you must not stick to these small details. I heard that you dared to go to Tu'an to save people with just one person and one horse, and you still have hundreds of thousands of people."
It seems that the army kidnapped Princess Tuan and was a coward in name only..." A clear and sweet voice came from the carriage.
Fusu scolded: "Chenxi, General Meng has made great contributions to our Qin Dynasty, how can I allow you to slander him! Apologize quickly!"
Zhou Hao smiled. He knew that Chen Xi had deliberately provoked him to get into the car to keep warm. She was a kind girl.
He jumped from his horse onto the carriageway: "Sir, I understand what the princess means. She means well. I have thanked the princess."
As he spoke, he got into the carriage. The carriage was three meters long and two meters wide. It was quite spacious for three people. There was a brazier in the middle for warmth. Young Master Fusu and Princess Chenxi sat opposite each other.
Zhou Hao hugged the young master and said, "Young Master, Your Highness the Princess."
Fusu smiled and nodded: "General Xiao Meng, please sit down."
Princess Chenxi showed a bright smile and said: "General Meng is really different. He understands my good intentions."
The carriage met the 10,000 troops outside the city. Along the way, Fusu watched from time to time refugees with thin skins and yellow skin walking carefully along the official road. The official road was the road of the official family, and ordinary people could also walk it, but when encountering the official road,
People who have to avoid it.
Fusu said in a deep voice: "The First Emperor unified the world and made the world war-free. Unexpectedly, there are still people who don't have enough to eat and clothing to keep warm. General Meng, do you think we did something wrong?"
Zhou Hao: "Sir, I dare not criticize Your Majesty."
It was not a disaster year, and the people should still be able to have food and clothing, but the First Emperor imposed corvee labor, so that farmers could not sow, and no one harvested the harvest. Men were tired to death on the way to do corvee work, and wives, daughters, old and weak had no choice but to flee to find a way out.
This is the reason why the First Emperor was called a tyrant. Building the Great Wall was a great achievement, but building the mausoleum and Epang Palace was a waste of time and money, causing hundreds of harms and no benefit.
Fusu shook his head and said: "You don't need to tell me, I know it. I have advised my father many times, eh!"
Zhou Hao: "Sir, your Majesty, it is still necessary to build the Great Wall. The Huns repeatedly invaded the border. They are nomadic people. They herd horses and herd sheep during non-war times, but they can take up arms to fight during war. They can pull out hundreds of thousands of troops at any time.
Invasion of the border, and unless our Daqin genocide them, they will only come back as long as they recuperate. If it weren't for this Great Wall Fortress, even a million troops of us would not be able to defend the entire border!"
Fusu couldn't believe it when he heard it and said: "But the doctors said that this is all a waste of money and people, and the Great Wall is useless."
Hey! No wonder the First Emperor wants to drive you out to see him. Although Fusu is kind-hearted, if he succeeds to the throne, he may not be a wise king, but he will definitely be a benevolent king. He has been corrupted by a group of corrupt Confucianism and has lost his mind.
Zhou Hao sneered and said: "Those doctors only know how to read the books of sages. They should all come to the Great Wall to see how we, the sons of Great Qin, rely on the Great Wall to guard our territory of Great Qin."
Fusu's eyes sparkled and he murmured: "I thought it was because my father had abandoned me, so he drove me to Wubian. It turns out that I was too naive and didn't understand my father's painstaking efforts!"
Princess Chenxi held Fusu's hand and said, "Father, Grandpa Huang still likes you."
Fusu suddenly woke up, wiped his tears with his sleeves, saluted Zhou Hao and said, "Fusu, General Xie Meng clears up the confusion!"
Zhou Hao quickly returned the courtesy and said: "Young Master is serious!"
Fusu: "General Meng, although he is a military general, he has extraordinary knowledge. What does the general think is the top priority of our country, Qin?"
Zhou Hao was speechless. Are you asking about my way of governing the country? He really doesn't understand this, but he knows how the Qin Dynasty fell.
"In my humble opinion, the world has just been unified, and the leaders of Guizhou are worried about the future. They should try to appease them instead of forcing them to do corvee work. When the leaders of Guizhou can fill their bellies, the country will be peaceful and the people are safe. Even if the survivors of the Six Kingdoms want to rebel, they will not
People will follow them" Zhou Haodao
Liu Bang was completely forced to rebel. If he didn't rebel, he would die. If he rebelled, he could live a little longer. Needless to say, how to choose? Liu Bang was afraid of death. He said so himself. If he could survive, he wouldn't.
He would rebel, but even if he was ambitious, he wouldn't have the courage.
The poor people in this era did not even have the opportunity to read. They only knew whoever could fill their stomachs would follow them. If they were not hungry, they would rebel at the risk of killing the Nine Tribes.
As for those remnants of the Six Kingdoms, whether they want to restore the glory of their ancestors or take revenge, if they don't have soldiers, they are just dreaming. Xiang Yu learned how to defeat ten thousand enemies, but he had no soldiers for him to use. Even if he died from exhaustion, he could not defeat ten thousand people.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Fusu bowed again and solemnly said: "Fusu understands!"
Zhou Hao thought in his heart, so what if you understand, unless the First Emperor gives up building the mausoleum and Afang Palace, how can the people be brought to peace if the corvee continues, Fusu cannot stop the First Emperor, this is the inevitability of history.
Fusu kept asking Zhou Hao questions along the way. Fortunately, he had also studied for a few more years and watched countless film and television works, otherwise he might not be able to answer them.
Just like this, after arriving in Jiuyuan County, Zhou Hao felt as if his body wanted to be hollowed out.
Princess Chenxi also looked at Zhou Hao with admiration. She didn't expect that a vulgar general could talk to her erudite father. In the end, Fusu bowed to Zhou Hao and asked to accept Zhou Hao as his teacher.
Just when Zhou Hao was about to refuse, the system said: "The host has been awarded the title of Prince's Master, and has collected 5000 Qi Luck and 2000 Qi Luck." Well, he just accepted this cheap apprentice in a big way. It seems that he will have to find a way to protect him from death.
Meng Tian received Fusu and arranged a place for the father and daughter to live, and Zhou Hao was freed.
The governor of Jiuyuan County was vacant, so Meng Tian was posted here and made a general, so he was the largest official here.
This place is very dilapidated, even the city walls are in dilapidated condition. Meng Tian has always lived in the military camp, and he will not bother to build the city here. It is a remote and remote area with nothing. It is understandable that no one wants to be the county guard.
However, there are quite a lot of people who have migrated here. The land is quite fertile and suitable for farming. The Yellow River flows through the territory. Meng Tian also had people build channels for irrigation, which is suitable for growing wheat and corn. Unfortunately, there is no corn in this era.
