"That's right. Recently, there was a Xiongnu tribe of 50,000 people blocking the construction site. If we sent troops to attack, it would take half a month, but Lord Ye Xiu used his own strength to make these Xiongnu surrender. In order to settle these Xiongnu people, he even built a city for them!”
Meng Yi briefly explained the current situation.
After this incident, Meng Yi's admiration for Ye Xiu could only be described as prostrating himself in front of him. He had never seen such a capable person.
"Then where did he place the Huns?”
Li Si asked curiously.
"It's in the center of the grasslands, a few days away from the Great Wall!”
Meng Yi quickly replied.
What was that?
Li Si's expression changed when he heard that and he looked at Meng Yi in surprise.
You built the Great Wall to stop the Xiongnu, didn't you?
Why were they still chasing the Xiongnu into the Great Wall?
Are you trying to rear the Xiongnu on the grasslands?
"Aren't you raising a tiger to invite trouble? The Huns are not good people!"
At this moment, Fu Su was the first to shout.
As the successor of the Great Qin Empire, he naturally knew the threat the Xiongnu posed to the empire.
So when he heard that Ye Xiu had placed the Xiongnu in the center of the plains, Fu Su was a little angry.
"Your Highness, don't worry. We've already considered this matter!”
Meng Yi quickly brought the two of them into their camp and led them into a tent with a "Project Department" sign.
Not only were the blueprints of the Great Wall hanging in the tent, but there were also renderings of the completed Great Wall and a simple model of the Great Wall.
Li Si and Fu Su looked at this scene curiously as they sized up these rare items.
"You even built a breeding farm for these Xiongnu?”
Li Si noticed the design of the relocation house and immediately frowned as he questioned Meng Yi.
It had to be said that Ye Xiu's city plan was perfect. It could be said that it covered every aspect, but what made Li Si very dissatisfied was that Ye Xiu had even built a farm for the Xiongnu.
What was the meaning of this?
Did he despise the Xiongnu people for not living well in the grasslands and wanted to create extra income for them?
"You even gave the Xiongnu relocation fees?"
At this moment, Fu Su also found a Xiongnu relocation plan. Looking at the promised treatment for the Xiongnu, he immediately frowned and said with dissatisfaction.
Even though they had been shocked by Ye Xiu's strength and were excited by the magnificent foundation, they had never expected Ye Xiu to be so powerful.
But Ye Xiu's attitude toward the Xiongnu made them very unhappy.
"Alright, according to this progress, the foundation will be completed tomorrow. At that time, we will begin the next step.”
At this moment, Ye Xiu and Meng Tian entered the tent.
"You're Ye Xiu?"
Seeing Meng Tian and Ye Xiu come in, Li Si started questioning Ye Xiu.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince? Prime Minister Li Si? Why are you two here?"
Meng Tian looked at the two of them and her expression changed slightly. Then, she frowned.
These two people could be considered the most important people beside Qin Shi Huang. He had never thought that the two of them would actually come here together.
"Hmph, if we didn't come, the Xiongnu would have been sent to Xianyang City by you!”
Li Si said angrily.
"That's right, General Meng Tian. You've been fighting with the Xiongnu for so long. Don't you know the Empire's attitude towards the Xiongnu?”
At this moment, Fu Su stood up and reminded Meng Tian.
"Oh, you're talking about this matter! Come, Lord Ye Xiu, explain to the two of you!”
Meng Tian didn't mind and said to Ye Xiu.
Ye Xiu was looking at the two people in front of him. One of them was Great Qin's greatest hero, while the other was Great Qin's future heir.
What happened to these two people later affected Great Qin's fate. One of them made a mistake and caused Great Qin to be destroyed, while the other was killed by the former and could not inherit the throne.
If the legendary Young Master Fu Su could inherit the throne of Qin Shihuang, then the fate of the Great Qin Empire would be very different.
"Hmph, explain to us. You built a city for the Xiongnu, gave them a large sum of money to settle down, and even built a breeding farm for them.”
Li Si's expression darkened as he questioned Ye Xiu.
"There's no need to be anxious. Let's take a look at the city's plan first. The main function of this city is to be a granary attached to the Great Wall. In the future, even the surrounding areas will be reclaimed and farmed. So this city is a must!"
Ye Xiu pointed at the city and said confidently.
"That's right, but why did you place these Xiongnu inside?”
Looking at the map, Li Si's expression was still a bit ugly. Since Ye Xiu knew the future use of this city, he actually placed the Xiongnu inside.
"It doesn't matter if they're inside or not. The main thing is that we can control them, right?”
Ye Xiu calmly said to Li Si,""The reason why we built these farms is to let them use their experience to raise cattle, sheep, and even horses for Great Qin. It seems like they are the ones making money, but Great Qin has a huge market, and we can sell the mutton and wool to earn even more money, right?”
Hearing Ye Xiu's words, Li Si slowly nodded his head. As the Prime Minister of a country, he naturally understood the logic behind this. It was just like how farmers couldn't find big money, but grain merchants could make a lot of money because those grain merchants controlled the market.
According to what Ye Xiu said, the Xiongnu would become farmers in the future, while they would become grain merchants who could earn a lot of money.
"But what kind of compensation is this?”
Fu Su stood up and asked.
