Daqin: At the beginning, he revealed that he was a traverser, and Ying Zheng was paralyzed

"When a country changes and prospers, the people suffer. When it dies, the people suffer."

"The life of the common people in Daqin is already so difficult. There are countless people who are hungry and live on the streets."

"If troubled times come, what should they do?"

Chen Qing was born in the materialistic 21st century, and those suffering people could easily arouse his compassion.

This is also his original intention to secretly accumulate strength.

One day when he controls the world, he must let the Chinese people live a life of adequate food and clothing in advance.

There are also foreign barbarians, which must be eradicated as soon as possible to prevent the tragedy of future generations from repeating itself again and again.

At this moment, Zhao Chong winked at him frantically.

What are you still doing!

Didn't you see His Majesty's face turned black?

You really dare to say anything!

Is it that fun to play to your death?

Chapter 12 I, Chen Qing, Are Back Again

"Is the life of the common people in Daqin really so difficult?"

Ying Zheng asked with suppressed anger.

It is true that Chen Qing sympathizes with the poor people who have no food and clothing.

But mentioning it in front of Qin Shihuang is tantamount to deliberately exposing others' shortcomings.

It's really pole vaulting in a latrine, it's too much!

"Last year in the twelfth lunar month of winter, because Xiaomin's copper and iron shop did not turn off at night, there were always nearby people sitting around the stove to keep warm, including the old and the weak, women and children."

"The manager wanted to drive them away, but I stopped them."

"Later, when Xiaomin inquired about it, it was really heartbreaking."

Chen Qing ignored Zhao Chong's reminder, and recalled: "An old woman with a baby in her arms. She was wearing single clothes in the cold weather, and her lips were blue from the cold."

"Xiaomin asked her, why did she come here?"

"The old woman replied: If you go home, you will freeze to death, and there is still a way to survive here."

"Xiaomin asked again: Where are your children?"

"The old woman replied: The eldest son was conscripted as a civilian husband and built the Great Wall in the Northland. There has been no news for three years. The second son was disabled in the early battles. To eat, sell yourself for some food."

"Now there are only the old and the young in the whole family, and the family's food is almost exhausted."

"They would beg along the street during the day, and at night they would come to Xiaomin's shop and watch the fire to avoid freezing to death."

Following what Chen Qing said, Ying Zheng's face became more and more ugly.

Zhao Chong has become numb.

How about love.

You are not afraid of death, so I don't need to worry about it.

Chen Qing went on to say: "The little people asked one by one, most of them were in military disasters at home, or were drawn into corvee service. A little bit of natural disaster and man-made disaster, the family was destroyed immediately."

Ying Zheng's eyes were burning like a torch: "Are you blaming the widows for not being considerate of the common people?"

"Isn't it right for widows to build the Great Wall?"

"Isn't it right to expand the territory?"

Chen Qing nodded: "It's all right."

"But Your Majesty is consuming too much people's power, which is tantamount to digging the foundation of Great Qin."

"If the weather is good, most of the common people can barely live, and there is no change."

"If there is turmoil in the court, or a catastrophe..."

"The world will be reversed."

Ying Zheng flicked his long sleeves: "Hmph!"

Even though he didn't want to admit it, he knew in his heart that what the other party said made sense.

"Do you know how many people will die if the Huns go south to plunder if the Great Wall is not built?"

"If you don't build roads, the world of Great Qin is so vast, how can you help if something changes?"

"The widow is the master of this country!"

"What do foolish men and women know!"

Ying Zheng said very conceitedly.

Out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of Chen Qing's hesitation to speak, and suddenly remembered that the other party was a time traveler from a later life.

"Chen Qing, do you have a solution to Daqin's current situation?"

"Have!"

Chen Qing answered happily.

"Tell me."

Ying Zheng couldn't help getting interested.

Chen Qing said confidently: "The situation in Daqin is ultimately due to the fact that productivity cannot keep up with the speed of social development."

……

Ying Zheng was confused and embarrassed to ask.

He turned his gaze to Zhao Chong who was at the side.

'Do you know what it means? '

'The villain doesn't know either. '

"Under the current situation of low productivity, His Majesty's attempt to do it once and for all, to build a large-scale construction project, will do great damage to the hearts and strength of the people."

"The solution is also very simple, just improve productivity."

"When Xiaomin came to Xianyang, he saw the vast Weihe River outside the city, but Daqin didn't make use of it. It was really a waste of money."

"If it is used properly, this Weihe River alone can at least be worth tens of millions of people, maybe more than that."

Chen Qing's words were clear and he expressed his thoughts.

"What did you say?"

Ying Zheng was shocked: "How many civilians can the Weihe River reach?"

"Ten million, more than that."

Chen Qing answered loudly.

Ying Zheng was so shocked that he couldn't recover for a long time.

The Weihe River is the mother river of Daqin.

The ancestors of the old Qin people relied on this river for irrigation and drinking water for generations.

But he never thought that a river under his nose could be worth tens of millions of people!

Ying Zheng built the imperial mausoleum for himself, and only recruited 70 civilian husbands. The ministers of the court complained, and the people were also full of resentment.

If what Chen Qing said is true...

"Tell me how to make Weihe worth tens of millions of people."

"If there is such a good strategy, my widow..."

Ying Zheng hesitated, not knowing how to reward him.

"This matter cannot be done by one person, it needs the concerted efforts of the craftsmen and guys under him at the time."

"If the little people have achieved it, they don't ask His Majesty for rewards, just release them to freedom."

Chen Qingtu saw him poorly and expressed his request.

"Hahaha~"

Ying Zheng laughed out loud, and only then did he know what the other party was trying to do.

"You are kind and righteous!"

"The widow agrees!"

"Zhao Chong will take you to collect the required materials."

Seeing that he was hesitating to speak, Chen Qing took the initiative to add: It didn't cost much in the early stage, and all he needed was some wood, stone, bronze and iron wares. There was stock in Xiaomin's shop, and it was enough to transport it to Xianyang. "

"Chen Qing, you have forged weapons privately, and what you have committed is treason."

"If you have contributed to Daqin, I can let you live."

"But if you dare to deceive the widow..."

Ying Zheng's eyes were piercing, and his tone was full of threats.

"Xiaomin would never dare to do that."

Chen Qing hurriedly bowed and saluted.

-

evening.

The lights in Xianyang Prison were dim.

Faint wailing and crying echoed in the narrow and cramped cell.

A group of unkempt prisoners sat on the wet straw with numb expressions, their eyes lost the slightest expression.

"Mother, I hurt you!"

A young man cried and wailed bitterly, covering his face and weeping bitterly.

His name is Li Yi, and he is a buddy in Chen Qing's shop who is learning art.

Because of his strong body, quick-wittedness and intelligence, he was specially promoted by Chen Qing to be a small steward, and his monthly salary was a little more than others.

It's a pity that not long after the spring breeze was triumphant, Heibingtai broke in with the officers and soldiers of the county guard and wiped them all out.

And Li Yi also became one of the leaders of the rebellion, and even his wife and children were imprisoned in Xianyang Prison.

Thinking of his [-]-year-old mother and his wife who had just passed away, Li Yi was sad and wept unceasingly.

"Don't cry, don't you bother."

"Yes, what's the use of crying, it's a waste of effort."

"The boss treats us well. If it weren't for his money and food, I wouldn't build a soldier for him. Li Yi, you are still a deputy steward. What the boss wants to do must have informed you in advance. I haven't blamed you yet. .”

The previously lifeless prisoner finally regained some vitality, and cast a complaining look at Li Yi.

"I really didn't know that my boss was planning to rebel!"

"If I had known..."

Li Yi's crying stopped abruptly.

There was the sound of someone walking in the corridor outside. It seemed that the jailer was tired of his crying and was looking for trouble.

The others hurriedly sat a little further away from Li Yi.

They have already seen how powerful the jailer is, and they are scared to death just by looking at it.

"If you knew earlier, what would you do?"

"But you want to report me?"

A faint voice came from outside the prison.

Li Yi froze for a moment, then slowly turned his head.
