Just as Fu Su was about to speak, there was another knock on the door.
"Your Highness, Scheeren Xiao has arrived."
"Invite him in!"
A smile appeared on Fu Su's face. This was the right-hand man he had been waiting for a long time.
If he were to clash with Duke Huang Shi, he might be able to gain some insights and grow even faster.
Soon, Xiao He was brought in by the guards. As soon as he entered, he bowed respectfully.
"Subordinate Xiao He greets Your Highness!"
Xiao He raised his head and suddenly saw Duke Huang Shi sitting at the side. He couldn't help but reveal a trace of curiosity.
To be able to become an honored guest of His Highness Fu Su, this plainly dressed old man was definitely not as simple as he looked.
"This is the Daoist expert, Duke Huang Shi.”
"This is the new Crown Prince's Scheeren, Xiao He.”
Fu Su introduced with a smile.
"Junior Xiao He greets Duke Huang Shi!”
Xiao He bowed respectfully.
"This old man is just a mountain villager.”
Duke Huang Shi hurriedly returned the greeting and chuckled.
It could be seen that his first impression of Xiao He, who was refined and polite, was quite good.
The two people who had left behind brilliant glories in history but were not famous at the moment, who cared about the world, quietly sparked in the Crown Prince's residence.
After exchanging pleasantries, Huang Shi once again looked at Fu Su with anticipation.
He was still waiting for Fu Su's words.
After all, this concerned the life of Zhang Liang, the personal disciple that Duke Huang Shi valued the most.
"Do the two of you know that this world is far bigger than you can imagine?”
"If we keep looking at Great Qin's small territory, we'll be short-sighted!”
"With Zhang Liang's deeds, if he can make enough contributions in the Foreign Lands and expand the territory of our Great Qin, not to mention pardoning his crimes, even making him a marquis and minister is not a problem.”
Fu Su smiled and pointed at the world map hanging on the wall.
Both Duke Huang Shi and Xiao He were shocked.
Due to Fu Su's identity, they had always adhered to etiquette in this study room. Therefore, they had not paid attention to the map on the wall.
However, after taking a look, they were shocked to find that Great Qin, which they had thought to be a massive existence, was only a small part of the map.
The two of them gasped.
Xiao He's face immediately revealed a trace of excitement.
His future ruler was indeed far-sighted and had the world in his heart.
Every piece of land that was opened up was a foundation for future generations.
As long as Great Qin's people lived in this new land, they would remember the heroes who had helped them conquer this land.
This kind of historical record had always been the highest realm that a civil and military official pursued.
Even Xiao He was no exception.
Xiao He's long-dormant passion was instantly ignited, and he began to look forward to working in the Crown Prince's residence.
A strange expression appeared on Duke Huang Shi's face.
He didn't have a good impression of the people of the imperial court.
Because of the years of famine, countless people were starving and homeless.
However, the imperial court did not stop all kinds of exorbitant taxes and corvee, once again worsening the disaster.
The change in their opinion of Fusu was also because Fusu had saved many commoners from the suffering of corvee and implemented many benevolent policies.
This gave Duke Huang Shi some hope for Great Qin to change, so he had traveled thousands of miles to come.
However, he did not expect that this Fu Su, like Ying Zheng, was also a martial artist.
Once the war started, who knew how many people would be robbed?
Huang Shi couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
Fu Su smiled faintly.
These Taoists, like Huang Lao, had always paid attention to peace and stability. Although it was not harmful to one's personal conduct, when it came to governing the country, they were more than enough to defend and not enough to advance.
The reason why the dynasties of the Central Plains did not open up to the outside world when they were strong for thousands of years was because of the traditional views of Daoists and Confucians.
It had to be said that it was a great regret.
If they had taken down the Peacock Dynasty earlier, there would not have been such a thing as A'san who dared to make a fuss before Fu Su transmigrated.
In this world, fists still had to speak.
"The two of you are both knowledgeable people, I wonder what your views on the world are?”
Xiao He was surprised.
Wasn't discussing the general situation of the world in front of Fu Su, the Crown Prince, showing off his skills in front of an expert?
Could it be that His Highness wanted to test his standards?
Xiao He looked in the direction of Fu Su's gaze in surprise and quickly understood.""Elders are respected. Duke Huang Shi, you go first.”
"The younger generation is formidable!"
Duke Huang Shi stroked his beard and smiled. He looked at Xiao He with appreciation and did not refuse.
He also wanted to use this opportunity to persuade Fu Su to bring Great Qin back on the right path.
"Now, the Xiongnu in Beiping and the Bai Yue in the south have been completely unified.”
"However, this stability only exists on the surface.”
"The descendants of the six countries are secretly working and accumulating strength, wanting to overthrow Great Qin and restore the six countries.”
Fu Su smiled faintly. Huang Shi's reply could be considered a standard answer, but it was not the answer he wanted.
"Scheeren Xiao, what do you think?"
Fu Su looked at Xiao He and said.
He also wanted to see how much of a maturity this future famous minister had.
"Actually, before this, Xiao He's views were similar to Senior Huang Shi's.”
"However, on the thousands of miles from Pei County to Xianyang, Xiao He had a new perspective.”
"That means that the remnants of the Six Nations have already lost their last chance.”
"Because they don't understand that what the people need isn't Qin Chu or Zhao Yan. They just want to survive and see hope.”
"The current Great Qin gives the commoners hope, and places like Xianyang and Hanzhong have even begun to have ample food and clothing. They have begun to study and improve, and there is hope for them to make a comeback.”
"Senior, if you were a commoner, would you choose to support Great Qin and protect your prosperous and bright future, or would you choose to support those vile remnants of the Six Nations?”
Xiao He looked at Huang Shi.
"As far as Xiao He knows, many people in Pei County and other old Chu regions have already forgotten about Chu. They only want the measures to benefit the people in Xianyang and Hanzhong to be extended to Pei County as soon as possible.”
Fu Su secretly gave Xiao He a thumbs up.
As expected of a famous prime minister, this thousand mile journey was really better than reading ten thousand books.
This point of view was reasonable, he wanted to see how Huang Shi would respond.
"This?"
Huang Shi was stunned.
Along the way, although he didn't observe and ask as much as Xiao He, he did feel that the closer he was to Xianyang, the more smiles the commoners had.
"But doesn't this also mean that the world has just settled down and the people's hearts have settled down?”
"Even if the situation is good now, once the war starts again, won't the people suffer again?”
Fu Su spread his hands.
He had finally discovered the problem with Lord Huang Shi, or rather, many hermit experts.
That was that he had lived in seclusion too deeply and was already out of touch with the public.
In addition, they were used to being high and mighty. They would not go deep into the people like Xiao He to personally understand and feel the actual changes.
If it was the gradual evolution of history, they could indeed point out the country and dominate it.
But now, with Fusu around and all kinds of reforms coming out one after another, they could no longer grasp the lifeline of the era.
Simply put, it was outdated.
"Who said that war will definitely bring disaster to the people?”
Fu Su smiled faintly.
Huang Shi was stunned.
Even Xiao He had a strange expression on his face. Clearly, he did not agree.
