Da Qin: From a disciple of Fusu to a generation of imperial masters

Chapter 457: Some ministers oppose the road construction! Fusu argues!

"Father, I have something to say!"

After several ministers finished speaking out against the First Emperor's road construction, a voice appeared in everyone's ears.

Everyone looked at the speaker, who was Fusu.

"Fusu, what do you have to say?"

Ying Zheng looked at Fusu with a smile on his face.

The other ministers also looked at Fusu, including several ministers who had just spoken out against the First Emperor's construction of the road.

They looked at Fusu with a hint of uneasiness in their hearts. They didn't know that Fusu would come out at this time.

Do you agree with Your Majesty in building the road, or do you oppose Your Majesty in building the road?

"Your Majesty, I believe that building roads will bring many benefits to the Qin Empire."

"It can allow the people of Daqin to get to where they want to go faster."

"The time it takes for the carriage to reach its location will also be shortened. More importantly, once the Qin cavalry takes action."

"Traveling quickly on a flat road will increase our speed and shorten the time it takes to reach the battlefield."

"Your Highness agrees with your father in building the Great Qin Road."

Fusu looked at the First Emperor, bowed and expressed his thoughts.

The Qilin Hall suddenly became quiet, and everyone's eyes turned to Fusu.

Meng Yi looked at Fusu and felt very happy.

Prince Fusu supports Your Majesty's decision, which is exactly what Meng Yi wants to see.

Some ministers looked at each other without saying anything, and now Fusu stood up to support Your Majesty.

It's useless for them to say anything else.

"Your Majesty, I also agree with the construction of the Great Qin Road."

Li Si stood up and bowed.

The faces of several ministers who opposed the construction of the road turned ugly. They did not expect this.

Not only Fusu supported Your Majesty in building the road, but even Prime Minister Li Si agreed.

But they didn't want to give up, after all, it was related to their interests.

"Your Majesty, Daqin needs a large number of workers to build roads."

"If these workers were to cheat, the roads they paved would surely have flaws."

"If this happens, the roads will soon have problems and a lot of money will be wasted."

"I second the proposal!"

"I second the proposal!"

Several ministers who were opposed to the construction of the road once again stood up to oppose it.

Fusu looked at the ministers, with a hint of sarcasm in his eyes.

"Father, building roads does require a large number of workers."

"I think as long as we give the workers enough wages and let them eat well and sleep well."

"These workers will naturally build the roads properly, and the situation mentioned by several ministers will not happen."

Fusu looked at the First Emperor and repeated the method his teacher Lin Xuan had told him.

The faces of several ministers who opposed the construction of the road became even uglier when they heard Fusu's words.

One of the ministers stood up and said, "Your idea is indeed good, but human greed is like a snake swallowing an elephant."

"Sir, how can you guarantee that these workers will have enough wages, eat well and sleep well, so that they can pave the road?"

Some ministers nodded slightly, they felt that what the minister said made sense.

"The Great Wall is still under construction. I'm sure you ministers have not forgotten."

"Now the workers who build the Great Wall have enough wages, eat well and sleep well."

"The quality of the construction of the Great Wall is very good. Many young people envy the workers who built the Great Wall and want to build the Great Wall themselves."

"Since there is no problem with this method in building the Great Wall, why would there be problems with this method in building roads?"

"I believe in the workers of Daqin. As long as we give them enough respect and wages, and let them eat well and sleep well."

"We will definitely be able to build great roads in Daqin." Fusu looked at several opposing ministers and mentioned the Great Wall that was under construction.

Qilin Hall became quiet again, Fusu's words reminded them.

The Great Wall is still under construction, and they are very clear about everything related to it.

Fusu used the example of building the Great Wall, which they thought was very reasonable.

Several ministers who opposed the construction of the road were speechless when they heard Fusu's words and didn't know how to refute.

Meng Yi, who was standing behind Fusu, had a smile on his face. Fusu's eloquence just now left several ministers speechless.

Meng Yi was very happy. What Fusu had just said was reasonable and no one could refute it.

Li Si looked at Fusu with a smile on his face, and he thought of Fusu's teacher Lin Xuan.

What Fusu just said must be related to Lin Xuan.

Thinking of this, Li Si couldn't help but sigh that it was a good thing for Daqin to have someone like Lin Xuan.

Ying Zheng, who was sitting on the dragon throne, also had a smile on his face at this time.

"My dear ministers, who else objects to my building roads in every city of Qin?"

Ying Zheng looked at everyone in Qilin Hall and asked.

Qilin Hall became quiet and everyone looked at each other without saying anything.

The ministers who had just opposed the First Emperor's road construction stopped talking.

Fusu's words just now made it impossible for them to stop him.

"Since no one objects, I will decide when the materials are ready."

"Roads must be built in every city of Daqin."

"promise!"

When everyone in the Qilin Hall heard what the First Emperor said, they bowed and saluted. Since they could no longer object, they could only agree readily.

Ying Zheng looked at everyone's reactions and nodded with satisfaction, then looked at Fusu with a smile.

A smile also appeared on Fusu's face. The father and son cooperated very well today.

Ying Zheng stood up and left the Qilin Hall.

"Retreat!"

When the eunuch who was summoning the emperor saw the First Emperor leaving, he immediately shouted loudly.

"Your Majesty, please leave!"

Everyone bowed and turned to walk out of the Qilin Hall.

Several ministers who opposed the road construction looked at Fusu and left the Qilin Palace with a hint of resentment on their faces.

The road will be built soon, and once it is completed, the money they earn will be reduced.

They need to quickly discuss with the vendors how to reduce the losses.

"Your Highness's few words today have left those ministers speechless. Meng Yi admires you!"

Meng Yi looked at Fusu, with a smile on his face, and bowed.

"This is all due to the teacher's good teaching. The teacher guessed that there would be ministers who would oppose the emperor's proposal."

"Tell me in advance how to refute these ministers."

Fusu looked at Meng Yi and heard him mention his teacher Lin Xuan.

When Meng Yi heard Fusu's words, there was a look of surprise on his face, not only because what Fusu said today was related to Lin Xuan.

Another reason was that Li Si was standing next to him, and Prince Fusu had just mentioned Lin Xuan.

Li Si will definitely hear it. Meng Yi looked at Li Si with a strange look on his face.

"Brother Meng Yi, there is no need to be so surprised. I have already had a conversation with Mr. Lin Xuan, Mr. Fusu's teacher, in the garden of his mansion."

"I already know that the master behind Master Fusu is Mr. Lin Xuan."

Li Si looked at Meng Yi with a smile on his face.

When Meng Yi heard Li Si's words, he felt relieved. He was just thinking about how to make up for Fusu's words.

It turned out that Li Si already knew about Lin Xuan's existence. No wonder Prince Fusu mentioned Lin Xuan without hesitation in front of Li Si.
