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

Chapter 468 A new notice posted in Xianyang City! The curious people of Xianyang City!
"I have to say that the person your teacher Lin Xuan recommended this time is very much what I want."

"When you brought up this matter at court this morning, the first person I thought of was Prime Minister Li Si."

"Li Si has assisted me for many years. As the prime minister of the Qin Dynasty, he is very familiar with the cities of the Qin Dynasty."

"He is in charge of building the road, and other ministers will not and dare not object."

"When you brought up Xiao He, I was a little surprised."

"I thought about it for a moment and found that Xiao He is indeed suitable to be the person in charge of road construction."

"Li Si was busy with state affairs as prime minister and had no time to think about building roads."

"Xiao He is different. This time the imperial examination has ended."

"Xiao He demonstrated his abilities in this imperial examination."

"Xiao He is somewhat lacking in his understanding of the various cities of the Qin Dynasty."

"But his abilities are enough to make up for these shortcomings, which is why I finally decided on Xiao He."

"Your teacher Lin Xuan once again makes me admire him."

Ying Zheng looked at Fusu and spoke his true feelings.

Fusu nodded slightly when he heard what the First Emperor said. He was also surprised when his teacher Lin Xuan recommended Xiao He at the dinner.

After knowing the real reason, Fusu knew that he still had a lot to learn from his teacher.

Zhang Han, who was standing aside, nodded slightly. He also admired Lin Xuan very much in his heart.

"Since Xiao He was recommended by your teacher, I still want to meet and talk with your teacher."

"Zhang Han, prepare the car!"

"promise!"

When Zhang Han heard what the First Emperor said, he walked out of the study with a calm expression to prepare the carriage.

He likes it now, and Your Majesty goes to Fusu Mansion to meet Lin Xuan.

Fusu was also very calm when the First Emperor expressed his thoughts just now.

He guessed that the First Emperor might be going to see his teacher.

Sure enough, his idea was correct, and the First Emperor did want to meet and talk with his teacher.

Xianyang City streets!
"Everyone, hurry to the city gate. The government officials have posted new notices."

"Notices have been posted quite frequently recently. I hope this time they say something good."

"Anything that can be posted on the notice is a big deal, but I don't know what kind of big deal it is."

Pedestrians on the streets of Xianyang City gradually headed towards the city gate.

Now that the new notice had been posted, they naturally went to see it.

In case it has anything to do with them, it’s better to prepare in advance.

Many people gathered at the gate of Xianyang City.

These people came here specifically because they knew that a new notice had been posted at the city gate.

Everyone looked towards the city gate, or to be more precise, at the city wall beside the gate.

At this time, two soldiers were posting new notices on the city wall, and there were several soldiers holding swords near the wall.

These soldiers were trying to protect the notice from being torn off. After all, if the notice was torn off, the government would punish them for not guarding it properly.

In minor cases, one’s salary will be deducted, while in serious cases, one may lose his official position and may even be punished with a caning in the court.

Next to several soldiers holding swords, there was an old man with a smile on his face.

When people saw the old man, some passers-by greeted him.

This old man is the one who reads the notice to them every time, and it was this old man who read the notice this time.

After posting the notice, the two soldiers told the old man and turned to leave.

The old man walked to the notice, looked at the pedestrians at the city gate and said, "Fellow villagers, please be quiet."

"Just now the government sent soldiers to post new notices."

"I ask you to listen carefully so as not to miss out on important content."

The old man looked at the pedestrians around him and gave a warning. The noisy city gate suddenly became much quieter.

Everyone looked at the old man, fearing that they would not be able to hear the content of the notice.

The old man looked at the passers-by around him and nodded with satisfaction. Now that things were quiet, he could read the new notice posted on the city wall.

The old man turned his head and looked at the contents on the notice. He was stunned when he saw the contents.

The passers-by around saw that the old man was stunned, and no one dared to disturb him.

After a while, a young man couldn't help but look at the old man and asked, "What did the notice say, old man?"

The others looked at the young man, then at the old man standing next to the notice.

The old man, who was still in a daze, was awakened by the young man's words.

The old man reacted, with a hint of excitement on his face, and said:

"Fellow villagers, this notice posted is a good thing for the villagers."

"Only Your Majesty would do such a thing."

The old man looked at everyone as he finished speaking, his face still showing excitement.

When the pedestrians at the city gate heard the old man's words, they looked at each other with confusion on their faces.

What kind of good news could make the old man so excited?

"What good thing did the old man do? Tell us quickly."

The young man who had just spoken to wake the old man up looked at the old man and spoke again.

The old man heard the young man's words and said with a smile: "Fellow villagers, I guess some of you are businessmen."

"We need to go to various cities in Daqin to do business. If the weather is good, it is easier to walk or take a carriage."

"If it rains, the road will be very difficult to travel on."

The pedestrians at the city gate didn't know why the old man suddenly mentioned the road to Daqin.

However, among them, there are indeed some who need to travel to various cities in Daqin frequently.

Not only merchants, but also some people have to travel to various cities in this way.

"You are right, old man. I am just a businessman."

"We usually use horse-drawn carriages to deliver goods to other cities for our customers."

"For a businessman like me, what I fear most is rainy days."

"Once it rains, the roads become muddy and the carts carrying goods are so heavy that they can't move forward on the road at all."

"If we cannot deliver the goods to the destination on time as specified by the customer, we must compensate the customer."

"This is also the most troublesome thing for a businessman like me."

A businessman looked at the old man and complained bitterly.

There were a few other businessmen next to this businessman, and they nodded in agreement.

They are all merchants who transport goods. What they fear most is encountering bandits and rainy days while transporting goods.

Ever since the Qin Dynasty unified the six kingdoms, the government has also been cracking down on bandits.

Merchants like them who transport goods rarely encounter bandits intercepting their shipments.

But they can't control the rainy days.

Every time we deliver goods, we can only pray that it won’t rain.

"You merchants are afraid of rainy days when you transport goods. Sometimes we are also afraid of rainy days."

"You merchants have carriages that can go to various cities, but we have to walk to other cities, so riding a horse is considered good enough."

"When it rains, the roads become muddy and it is also difficult to move forward."

A young strong man looked at the businessman who had just spoken and expressed his thoughts.

Others at the city gate told each other about their experiences.

The old man saw this scene and said with a smile: "Fellow villagers, you will soon no longer have to worry about escorting goods to other cities and encountering rainy days."
