"Oh, what gift is Fu Su going to give me?”
Ying Zheng's face was full of expectation as he said with a smile.
This eldest son had already brought him too many surprises and had become his greatest pride.
"In this battle with the Xiongnu, apart from killing more than 100,000 enemies, we also captured more than 200,000 young Xiongnu men and more than 100,000 women!”
"These young men can serve as slaves for Great Qin's citizens. As for the women, they can be given to those who have rendered meritorious service in the army as slaves!”
Fu Su said calmly.
"Very good!"
Ying Zheng nodded in satisfaction.
Ying Zheng knew that the Great Qin Empire had a heavy burden of corvee, and the commoners had many complaints.
However, many of these projects had to be repaired.
For example, if this road was not repaired, it would take too long for Xianyang to reach the border. It would not be able to deal with the newly incorporated six countries, and it would be easy for things to change.
If the Spirit Canal was not cleared, Great Qin would not be able to quickly take down Lingnan. Moreover, it would become an important source of irrigation for the surrounding regions, giving Great Qin a lot of fertile land.
If the Great Wall was not built, the border would be unstable. Once the Xiongnu invaded, the losses would only be even greater.
Now that the Xiongnu had been destroyed and the entire Hetao Plains had been annexed by Great Qin, the Great Wall's construction had been put on hold. The government and the people were also researching new plans.
With the addition of the 200,000 or so strong Xiongnu youths, it could be said that Fusu's battle had not only brought out Great Qin's might, but it had also greatly reduced the burden on Great Qin's people.
Therefore, after hearing this news, the surrounding commoners cheered in unison again.
This was a real benefit for them!
"Imperial Father is very satisfied with Fusu's gift!”
"What makes Imperial Father even more satisfied is that Fusu, you finally understand the attitude that a superior should have.”
Ying Zheng nodded with a smile.
"Imperial Father, this is only your son's first gift to you!”
Fu Su laughed.
Ying Zheng could not help but smile.
Then, he looked at Fu Su speechlessly.
When did this son learn to keep her in suspense?
He even dared to keep his father in suspense?
However, at this moment, Ying Zheng was extremely satisfied with Fu Su, so he naturally did not take all of this seriously.
"The spoils of war this time, other than the captives, are mostly resources.”
" Of course not!" Fu Su smiled." Besides the least amount of money, which is no more than 50 million, there are more than 120 thousand high-grade warhorses and nearly 200 thousand inferior horses!"”
Ying Zheng immediately took a deep breath.
Everyone knew that the Prairies people did not lack horses, but wasn't this too exaggerated?
It had to be said that Great Qin had only 50,000 Cavalrymen before, and the biggest reason for this was the lack of good horses!
The loot that Fusu had obtained this time was enough for Great Qin to create 100,000 Cavalrymen.
With the River Hetao as the largest and best horse ranch, Great Qin no longer had to worry about its Cavalry being inferior to the Prairies.
As for these horses, they had very important uses.
Whether it was logistics or transportation, they were all very useful.
It was definitely an unexpected and astronomical amount of wealth.
Even the 50 million that Fu Su had despised was a huge replenishment for Great Qin's treasury, which was almost empty.
It was equivalent to three months of income from the Great Qin Treasury.
The generals were all extremely excited. They were all thinking about how they could please Fu Su and get some warhorses from him.
Now, everyone knew that the Emperor was still very satisfied with Fu Su. It was only a matter of time before he became the Crown Prince.
In addition, this was originally Fu Su's spoils of war. Although it was handed over to the national treasury, it still had a lot of power to make suggestions.
Even if they could not get a share, it would be great if they could join Fu Su's side and work for him.
After destroying the Xiongnu, Fu Su had become the God of War in the hearts of Great Qin's soldiers, their idol.
To be able to serve Fusu was definitely the greatest wish of the soldiers!
"Anything else?"
After a long period of excitement, Ying Zheng finally calmed down and said.
"Other than that, there are 200,000 cattle and more than 500,000 lambs!”
Fu Su smiled faintly.
Li Si and the others were instantly excited.
After all, Great Qin only had 25 million people, which was less than 6 million households.
Due to the backward farming methods, although each person could get a hundred mu of land, most of the dry land could not be farmed.
More than 200,000 cattle meant that an average of 20 households could get an additional cattle. A village could get several cattle. This was definitely great news for farming.
If they were concentrated in fertile lands, Great Qin's food supply would increase by several times!
The high yield of food meant that more people could be fed. It meant that the more people there were, the stronger the country would be!
As for the 500,000 sheep, it was also an extremely important economic wealth.
Coupled with the money and food, Li Si and the others 'originally bitter faces instantly blossomed with joy. They wished they could hug Fusu and thank him properly.
As one of the three dukes and nine ministers, he was in charge of managing the treasury's assets and grain collection. He was so excited that he staggered and fell heavily to the ground.
Everyone quickly looked over, only to see Neishi Teng struggling up from the ground with an embarrassed expression. He said embarrassedly,"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I was too excited.”
The crowd immediately burst into laughter.
Many of the officials who came from ordinary families and had experienced the predicament of almost not being able to pay their salaries felt the same way.
Great Qin was finally rich!
The income of 50 million meant that the national treasury, which had been empty for a long time, finally had a surplus and could support it for a long time.
And those 200,000 cattle directly represented the hope of a bumper harvest in the coming year.
For Great Qin, which focused on agriculture, increasing food production meant everything.
Even the commoners were overjoyed.
Today, there was really a lot of good news!
Young Master Fusu's name once again resounded throughout the entire road.
"This time, my son has really solved many of Great Qin's problems!”
Even Ying Zheng let out a long sigh of relief, and his gaze on Fu Su was even more satisfied.
The stone that had been weighing down on Great Qin's future finally fell to the ground.
