"No, what I mean is that His Majesty's project is not big enough.”
Xiao Han corrected with a smile.
" What?!"
In an instant, Qin Shi Huang's mouth and eyes widened in disbelief.
He had thought that Xiao Han would have countless answers, but no matter which answer Xiao Han gave, it would not escape his control.
However, he had never expected Xiao Han to say that the construction project he was building was not enough.
Oh my god! He almost suspected that there was something wrong with his ears.
One had to know that in order to build the Great Wall, Epang Palace, and Mount Li Tomb, he had already mobilized the entire country's strength.
Xiao Han actually said that such a project was not enough. Did this guy know how terrifying these projects were?
Any one of them could shock the world.
Crazy. He felt that if Xiao Han wasn't crazy, then he was, or the world was crazy.
"I'm talking about the Great Wall, Epang Palace, and Mount Li Tomb! Mr. Xiao, are you sure you didn't hear wrongly?”
Qin Shihuang did not give up and continued to ask.
Any random item would be a waste of manpower and money. It would require countless corpses to be piled up. He had made three in a row. Many ministers advised him to waste manpower and money, and many people said that he was a tyrant.
But now it seemed that compared to Xiao Han, this tyrant seemed too gentle.
"Grunt! Heavens! Is this guy a demon?"
"This guy is a madman. If this guy becomes an official in the future, we definitely can't provoke him.”
"It's too terrifying."
……
The surrounding soldiers, who were originally filled with killing intent, felt their hearts tremble when they heard Xiao Han's words. Their minds roared and their backs went cold.
In order to build the Great Wall, Epang Palace, and Mount Li Tomb, the entire Great Qin Empire had used all of its resources. Just the number of people who had died in the construction of the Great Wall had reached a million.
After the three major projects, it could be said that the lives of the people were in misery.
Facing such a project, Xiao Han said calmly that it was not enough.
This was definitely a lunatic. In the future, if he saw him, he would definitely hide far away.
"I'm not deaf."
Xiao Han picked his ears and said.
"All of you, get out!"
Qin Shi Huang didn't think that Xiao Han was saying that his project wasn't big enough, but that he was mocking him for wasting money and manpower.
Waving his hand, he chased away the soldiers who felt chills running down their spines. He then asked,"Since Mister Xiao understands, why do you still say such words? Didn't Sir know that these three major projects were already the strength of the entire country?”
"What does Your Majesty think of Great Qin's current situation?”
Xiao Han didn't answer directly. Instead, he asked a seemingly unrelated question.
"This…to be honest, Great Qin is currently in turmoil. There are the Xiongnu in the north, the Qiang people in the west, and all sorts of other countries waiting to take advantage of us.”
"It's also because of this that I didn't hesitate to spend the entire country's power to build the Great Wall to keep these wolves and wolves who spy on our Great Qin territory outside of our Great Qin territory.”
"However, in the entire world, no one can understand my painstaking efforts. They all regard me as a tyrant.”
"In the Imperial Court, all the civil and military officials think that the world is settled and they can enjoy themselves.”
"As for the remnants of the six countries, they still want to destroy Qin and hide in every corner of Great Qin, ready to cause trouble for me.”
"So many people died building the Great Wall, and they were all citizens of Great Qin. Doesn't This Lord feel heartache? However, without the Great Wall, the foreign cavalry came and went like the wind, and wherever they passed, lives were lost.”
"Therefore, I will go all out to build the Great Wall and block all the wolves and tigers that are spying on the territory of Great Qin. Wouldn't it be great for future generations to benefit?”
Qin Shihuang didn't hide anything from Xiao Han. Of course, he knew that he couldn't hide anything.
When Xiao Han had proposed the Imperial Examination System for Great Qin, he had already analyzed it very clearly.
Therefore, he decided to let go of his heart and let out all the thoughts that had been buried in his heart for many years.
"Hahaha! Your Majesty, it's not wrong to build the Great Wall to resist foreign races, but why must you levy the people of your country as corvee?”
Xiao Han felt that Qin Shihuang had gone into a dead end. He wanted to collect corvee as soon as the construction project started. Wasn't this making himself uncomfortable?
They were clearly protecting the people and their descendants, but in the end, they were being criticized by all the people and their descendants.
This was obviously a thankless task!
"Eh! Sir is mocking me! How could they build it without collecting corvee?”
Qin Shi Huang was a little speechless. Xiao Han's words were really novel. If he wanted to build the Great Wall, he definitely needed manpower. If he wanted manpower, he definitely had to collect corvee!
Could it be that he could talk about the Great Wall with just his mouth?
"Your Majesty, have you never thought of letting the outsiders help us build the Great Wall?”
Xiao Han said with a playful smile.
"Those Xiongnu and Qiang people all want to invade Great Qin and pillage, so how could they help us build the Great Wall to defend themselves?”
Qin Shi Huang didn't know whether to laugh or cry when he heard Xiao Han's words. Xiao Han spoke as if those outsiders were fools.
They wanted to invade Great Qin every day, so why would they be so stupid as to help you build a Great Wall to defend themselves?
"Their army won't, but what about their people and their surrendered soldiers?”
The corner of Xiao Han's mouth curled up, revealing a cruel smile.
"Boom!"
In an instant, Qin Shi Huang felt a roar in his mind. Xiao Han seemed to have opened a new door for him, and a thought surged out.
"Mister, are you saying that we will plunder the Xiongnu to build the Great Wall?
Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful, it was really wonderful. Sir was indeed a great talent; he could actually think of a way to get the Xiongnu to build a Great Wall for Great Qin to defend against the Xiongnu. He was simply a genius!
No, not only do I want to use the Xiongnu people to build the Great Wall, but I also want to use the Hu people of the surrounding countries to build the Great Wall.”
Qin Shihuang's entire body was trembling. He had thought of building walls to guard against bandits every day, but he had never thought of letting bandits build walls for him.
His thinking was really limited, and he couldn't think straight!
Now that he heard Xiao Han's reminder, this method was really feasible.
With Great Qin's strength, it would be very difficult to destroy the Xiongnu, but capturing some Xiongnu people as slaves would be a piece of cake.
Letting the Xiongnu build a Great Wall for Great Qin to defend against the Xiongnu was simply too much.
As a result, Qin Shihuang's thoughts diverged and he directly expanded this plan, capturing all the Hu in the surrounding countries to build the Great Wall.
Didn't you want to invade Great Qin? I'll capture you and build the Great Wall to resist you. This way, I can also exempt the domestic corvee. It's really killing two birds with one stone!
"I didn't say anything. It was His Majesty's wise idea.”
Xiao Han said calmly in the face of Qin Shihuang's praise.
"Hehehe! Hahahaha!"
Qin Shi Huang and Xiao Han looked at each other in delight, and the two of them immediately burst into laughter.
Just like that, a scheme that would decide the life and death of countless foreign races and use the Hu to subdue the Hu was decided in the midst of chatting and laughing.
