Piao Tianwen     182 Prisoners and prisoners built the Great Wall, and doubts appeared when they arrived in Jimo.

"There is also a secret letter here that the emperor asked his subordinates to submit to the Prince of Fusu and the two generals to watch." The envoy responsible for sending the imperial edict to the First Emperor Ying Zheng, after submitting the imperial edict, took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Fusu.

"Father's Secret Letter?" Fusu took the letter with some confusion, opened the silk book and looked carefully, and his face became much heavier.

"Young Master, what did the emperor say in the letter?" Meng Tian asked curiously.

After taking a deep breath, Fusu handed the silk book in his hand to Meng Tian beside him. Meng Tian shook the silk book in his hand away. He had just read a few lines of words, and a trace of sorrow that had remained on his face suddenly became without a trace.

"I originally thought that the emperor was going to let our troops go back to the court, but I didn't expect that our hundreds of thousands of troops would be stationed in Hetao. It was so great!" Meng Tian's joy was beyond words. What the generals feared most was that the horse put the southeast sword into the warehouse. Now that the First Emperor Ying Zheng wants them to stay in Hetao, there is no need to worry about the opportunity to make achievements.

"General Meng Tian looked down." Young Master Fusu pointed to the words in the silk book, which were the source of the solemn expression.

Meng Tian turned his gaze to the position Fusu pointed out, and after visiting, he couldn't help but frown slightly: "We want to capture a large number of Xiongnu people and let them act as the manpower to build the Great Wall?"

A flash of light Bu's eyes flashed through. It turned out that the reason why Emperor Ying Zheng of Shiniang chose to use a large number of prisoners of war to serve as the manpower to build the Great Wall at this time was to use a large number of prisoners of war to serve as the manpower to build the Great Wall. Thinking of this, although the situation in various places is unstable, whether in the south, northern border or the hinterland of the Central Plains, as long as there are more prisoners to capture prisoners, the continuous prisoners will become free civilians of the Qin Dynasty. In addition to giving these prisoners the daily food necessary for daily food, the Qin Dynasty only needs to prepare enough materials for the construction of the Great Wall. The rest is to send people to urge the prisoners to step up the construction day and night. This is much less than the cost of calling civilians in various places!

"If we were asked to lead our army directly to attack the Huns, there would be no problem. But now we have to capture the Huns alive to build the Great Wall for us, which is many times more difficult than killing the Huns directly." Meng Tian handed the silk book in his hand to Lu Bu on the side, and sighed and expressed his understanding of this matter.

The Huns lived in the wilderness of the northern border, so they wanted to let them build the Great Wall for the Qin people. This was as difficult as training wild wolves on the grassland to be loyal dogs guarding the gate.

"It seems that the father does not intend to call ordinary civilians to participate in the construction project of the Great Wall. At the end of the letter, the father will gather all the serious prisoners and death row prisoners from prisons all over the world to serve as laborers. In this way, although a lot of money should have been saved that should have been paid to the civilians, if these serious prisoners and death row prisoners who are responsible are really forgiven without guilt after the project is over, the public security in various places will definitely be greatly disturbed." What Prince Fusu values ​​most is not the matter of capturing prisoners, because fighting is too far and out of reach for him, the "future emperor" of the prince, but the public security and political decision-making in all parts of the world are what he cares about most.

‘The first emperor Ying Zheng’s approach was similar to the labor reforms in later generations.’ Lu Bu murmured in his heart.

"No matter what, since the emperor has handed over the land of Hetao to the Prince and the Last Future to take charge, we must complete these tasks. Only in this way can we not let down the emperor's trust in us." Meng Tian's order to the First Emperor Ying Zheng was unreasonable and did not care at all. Anyway, what order was issued by the First Emperor Ying Zheng, and Meng Tian would do it with all his strength. The simple idea of ​​a warrior is also a way to be an official who is very happy to those who are superior.

.......................division line............

Ten knights wearing the black armor of Qin army were riding their horses on the spacious road. The young knight in charge was Lu Bu, and behind him were the two brothers Lu Ze and Lu Shizhi, as well as the two followers of Lu Bu, Zhongli Ping and Ji Wen.

The matter started one month ago. On that day, the First Emperor Ying Zheng ordered Meng Tian and Fusu to guard the Hetao land together and capture the Huns in large quantities to build the Great Wall. Even Meng Tian and his 300,000 elite Qin troops under him took root in Hetao. In order to inject fresh "blood" into the vast and sparsely populated Hetao, Meng Tian and Fusu discussed, specially allowed the soldiers in the army to go to Guanzhong or Guandong to pick up their respective relatives to live in Hetao together, which was also considered to be the first batch of "immigrants" in the Central Plains to Hetao.

It would be fine if Meng Tian and Fusu did not mention this matter, but since Meng Tian and Fusu, as commanders, took the initiative to encourage the soldiers to bring their relatives and families to Hetao, these soldiers who had long been in love with their families when they went out to war, immediately returned to their hometown with documents in an orderly manner according to a scale of 10,000 people, and returned to their hometown with documents to welcome their respective relatives and families.

Lu Ze and Lu Shizhi, who had long been concerned about their father and sister, certainly would not miss this opportunity. When Meng Tian and Fusu allowed to move their families to Hetao, Lu Ze and Lu Shizhi followed Lu Bu and sighed. In the end, in order to purify his ears and that Hetao was indeed a safe place in the future, Lu Bu finally agreed to the request of Lu Ze and Lu Shizhi. After informing Meng Tian and Fusu, Lu Bu took Lu Ze, Lu Shizhi, Zhong Liping, Ji Wen and five other guards on the journey to find Lu Bo's family.

"Brother, Jimo City is almost here, and I will see my father and sister soon!" Although Lu Shizhi has seen many big scenes after following Lu Bu in recent years, he is still a young man under 18 years old. Seeing that Jimo City, the place where he met with his father and sister, was about to arrive, how could Lu Shizhi calm down?

Lu Bu pushed the hair floating in front of his forehead to his ears, and looked at the city called Jimo City not far away, and raised his sword eyebrows slightly. Because Lu Bu, with sharp eyes, was really surprised and puzzled by the scene outside Jimo City that appeared in front of him.

The ancient city of Jimo is surrounded by mountains and seas. It is named Jimo because the ancient city of Jimo is located on the bank of Moshui River. Jimo belonged to Qi during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. After the Qin Dynasty destroyed Qi, Jimo County was established, which belonged to Qi County. Originally, a dilapidated road leading directly to Linzi, Jimo was now called by Qin officials in Jimo City to renovate it into a spacious, thick and new road that Lu Bu and others are now stepping on.

The city walls of Jimo are not very high, but the layout is the same as the Central Plains style, with houses attached to them all the way to the city wall. Before the world was pacified, Qi surrendered without fierce resistance, but the impact of the war still came here. Outside the city walls of Jimo were shacks built by refugees. In the disrepair of the city walls, there were also ragged people repairing there, and a group of people carrying wooden stakes and smashing earthen trunks there. The spacious and thick new road before was obviously the achievements made by the civilians who were still repairing the city walls.

What is most puzzling is that at the gate of Jimo City, on the city wall, next to the road, and at the gate of the city, there were Daqi soldiers standing in full armor everywhere. Just looking at the faint evil spirit revealed by these Daqi soldiers, Lu Bu could determine that these Qin soldiers were definitely elite soldiers from the old Qin people in Guanzhong!

As a place that is not very famous today, Jimo City is now stationed with so many elite Qin soldiers, which is obviously not true. You should know that although the Qin Dynasty has many soldiers and generals, the real elite - the old Qin people, is not enough to spread to small and medium-sized cities like Jimo, as Lu Bu saw now. (The small and medium-sized cities here are compared to large cities such as Linzi, Xianyang, and Shouchun.)

"Lu Ze, Shi Zhi, I'm afraid something happened in Jimo City. Remember not to say anything after you come to the city later. All things are left to me to deal with." Lu Bu lightly pulled the reins of the Wind Chasing Horse under his crotch, slowed down the horse speed to the side of Lu Ze and Lu Shizhi's mount, and his expression was serious and loud.

"Brother, what did you say? Something happened in Jimo City? What happened? My father and sister won't have anything happened, right?" Although Lu Ze was a little calmer than his younger brother Lu Shizhi, when he heard that something might have happened in Jimo City, Lu Ze suddenly became a little excited because he was worried about the safety of his father and two sisters in Jimo City.

Lu Bu coughed and patted Lu Ze on the shoulder: "If you two brothers believe in brothers, then hand over everything to brothers. I think it will not be too late for you brothers to reunite with Lu Bo and others."

Since Lu Ze and Lu Shizhi decided to follow Lu Bu around the world and establish a fame in Linzi, they have vaguely regarded Lu Bu as the object of their loyalty throughout their lives. Now seeing Lu Bu say this, they naturally shouted without hesitation: "What the brother said, my brothers naturally trusted my brothers. But by doing everything, my brothers will definitely obey my brothers' words!"

Lu Bu nodded, gently clamped his legs to the belly of the Wind-chasing Horse under his crotch. Zhui Feng neighed lightly, and the four hooves produced a vitality, carrying Lu Bu first to speed towards the gate of Jimo City...
