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

Chapter 470 The people are in high spirits! Ying Zheng is meeting Lin Xuan!

"Don't keep me in suspense as to who this old man is."

"Yes, old man, we have been waiting for a long time. Please tell us which minister His Majesty has appointed to be in charge of building the road!"

When some passers-by heard the old man's words, they urged him with a hint of anxiety on their faces.

The businessman frowned and looked at the old man. He also wanted to know who this person was.

He had better go back and make preparations. After all, the person in charge of road construction would decide whether the business of these delivery merchants would be good or bad in the future.

The old man looked at the people around him and said, "This man is Master Xiao He."

"Your Majesty appoints Lord Xiao He as the person in charge of road construction."

The old man looked at everyone and said Xiao He's name.

The city gate suddenly became quiet, with surprise on everyone's faces.

They mentioned the names of many ministers, but Xiao He was the only one they didn't think of.

"I didn't expect it to be Lord Xiao He, but Lord Xiao He is the chief invigilator of the imperial examination."

"It's strange that the chief examiner of the imperial examination is responsible for building roads."

"There are many ministers in the court who understand the road. Why did Your Majesty choose Xiao He?"

Some pedestrians reacted and talked to each other in low voices.

They didn't understand why Xiao He was the person in charge of building the road.

The businessman who was talking to the old man frowned. Xiao He was in charge of building the road.

This was not good news for him as Xiao He had no experience in this area.

This will prolong the time of road construction, waste the time of delivery merchants, and they will earn less money.

The old man looked at the reactions of the passers-by around him and said with a smile on his face: "Fellow villagers."

"It is a good thing for our people that Lord Xiao He is in charge of road construction."

"Everyone in the village knows about the imperial examination. It ended a few days ago."

"Xiao He selected some outstanding talents and was appointed as an official by His Majesty."

"Many of these talents selected by Xiao He were ordinary scholars with no background."

"As the chief examiner of the imperial examination, many people will give gifts to Xiao He."

"But the talents selected by Xiao He are enough to prove that Xiao He is fair and just."

"If such a person is in charge of road construction, he will certainly be able to ensure that there will be no problems with the materials used in road construction."

“This is good news for us.”

The old man looked at the people around him and expressed his thoughts.

The pedestrians around were stunned for a moment when they heard the old man's words, but they quickly reacted and nodded slightly.

They thought what the old man said made sense, so Xiao He was appointed as the person in charge of road construction.

There is no need to worry about materials and other aspects, Xiao He is absolutely fair and just.

After hearing what the old man said, the merchant pondered for a moment and said, "It is indeed fair for Lord Xiao He to be the person in charge of road construction."

"But Lord Xiao He still can't do it. He knows every city in Daqin."

"If someone were to deceive me, I'm sure Xiao He wouldn't be able to verify it."

The businessman looked at the old man and expressed his thoughts.

Some of the happier pedestrians regained their composure after hearing the merchant's words.

They felt that what the merchant said made sense. If Xiao He was not familiar with all the cities, he would not be able to control them.

The old man smiled when he heard the merchant's words and said, "You don't have to worry about this, young man."

"Master Xiao He is the chief examiner of the imperial examination. Students who come to take the exam come from all cities in Daqin."

"Xiao He knows all these cities very well. Even if there are some cities that he doesn't know about, they are only a few."

"I believe in Lord Xiao He's ability. Lord Xiao He can run the imperial examination system well."

"Road construction will definitely be completed faster and with better quality."

The old man looked at the merchants and the passers-by around him and expressed his thoughts.

The businessman was stunned for a moment when he heard the old man's words, but he quickly reacted.

He looked at the old man with a complicated expression on his face. He had to be convinced by the old man's words. The people of Daqin were all very clear about how Xiao He performed as the chief invigilator of the imperial examination.

Since this is the case, Xiao He, as the person in charge of road construction, will definitely make the roads of Daqin smooth and not afraid of rain.

In this way, the business of merchants who transport goods will also get better.

"Based on the results that Lord Xiao He achieved in the imperial examination, I believe in him."

"That's right. Lord Xiao He is so capable that it won't be a difficult task for him to be in charge of the road construction."

“Once the road is built, we will know the results.”

The pedestrians at the city gate looked at the old man and expressed their thoughts.

The old man was in a good mood when he saw this scene. His mission for the day was completed.

Not only was the notice read out, but the people were also made aware that the person in charge of building the road was Xiao He.

Xianyang City, Fusu Mansion!

In the garden, Lin Xuan was drinking fine wine and reading a book in his hand.

"Tap Tap!"

Suddenly, he heard footsteps. Lin Xuan looked up and saw Fusu, his uncle and guards walking in.

Seeing this scene, Lin Xuan had a smile on his face. Fusu's uncle came to see him again.

"gentlemen!"

"I am here to disturb you again."

Ying Zheng walked into the garden and looked at Lin Xuan with a smile on his face.

Zhang Han, who was standing behind the First Emperor, had a calm expression at this time. He was now used to His Majesty coming to see Lin Xuan.

Not only Your Majesty, Zhang Han also wants to meet Lin Xuan.

"Young Master is joking!"

"Please sit down!"

Lin Xuan sat down and motioned Fusu and his uncle to sit down and talk.

"Thank you, sir!"

"Thank you, teacher!"

Ying Zheng and Fusu sat down, raised the wine jar in front of them and drank the wine in one gulp.

"Sir, what is the purpose of your coming here today?"

Lin Xuan watched Fusu's uncle drink the wine and asked.

When Ying Zheng heard Lin Xuan's words, he put down the wine bottle in his hand.

He said, "At the morning court today, Fusu recommended an official position to Your Majesty called the person in charge of road construction."

"Your Majesty agreed to Fusu's request and issued an edict to establish this position."

"Many ministers in the court knew the news and set their sights on this position."

"Fusu recommended Xiao He, but many ministers in the court opposed it."

"Fortunately, His Majesty finally decided to appoint Xiao He as the person in charge of road construction."

"After I leave the court, I will ask Fusu."

"I just learned that Xiao He was recommended to Fusu by you, sir."

"After hearing the news, I came to see you, sir."

Ying Zheng looked at Lin Xuan and told him the reason why he came.

Lin Xuan smiled when he heard Uncle Fusu's words and said, "Sir, do you think it's inappropriate for me to recommend Xiao He?"

"Or do you think that Xiao He is not qualified to hold this position?"

Lin Xuan looked at Fusu's uncle and spoke what was in his heart.

"Sir, you misunderstood. Your recommendation of Xiao He was beyond the expectations of me and the ministers in the court."

"But I also think that Xiao He is the most suitable person to be in charge of road construction."

Ying Zheng looked at Lin Xuan and spoke his mind.
