"Not bad, good question!"
Su Ming cast Li Si an approving glance, then said to Ying Zheng," With this subject, you can protect the river for three hundred years!”
Hearing this, Ying Zheng's expression changed. Although he also felt that Li Si was very talented, he did not expect the Heavenly Emperor to praise him so highly.
Therefore, he looked at Li Si with a strange gaze!
When Li Si heard this, he was also flattered. After all, the person in front of him had an especially high status.
Although he didn't know how powerful the Celestial Thearch was, or if he was the same as the legendary Jade Emperor, he could tell from the strange phenomenon when he appeared.
The blood-stained world, the myriad worlds, flowed with blood and went far away in the River of Time.
All of this caused his young heart to tremble violently!
This kind of scene was even more terrifying than what he had imagined!
If he hadn't seen it before, he would never have been able to imagine it. When he realized that he had seen more than he had imagined, the fear would become even deeper!
But now, when he raised his own point of view, he did not expect that not only would he not be reprimanded, but he would even be praised in front of the First Emperor!
Was the Heavenly Emperor always so approachable?
In the chat skirt
"The Celestial Thearch is kind-hearted. Not only is he powerful, but he is also exceptionally gentle!”
The Mad Scientist-Moon Worship Sect Master: " Is there still love in this world? My father wanted to kill me, so I killed him!
However, the Celestial Thearch's bones were taken away when he was young, but he was still so cheerful. If it weren't for Stone Village, would he be like me now?”
Ye Hei said,"This is the grace of the Heavenly Emperor."”

great Qin Empire
Su Ming cast them a glance. A teacup had appeared out of nowhere. Once he lifted it, a strange fragrance spread out, making all the people present feel as if they were floating on air.
Once Su Ming took a sip, he moistened his throat and continued,"There was nothing wrong with building the Great Wall, but the mistake was that you didn't think of the consequences!”
Consequences?
As soon as he said that.
Both Ying Zheng and Li Si were stunned.
Jiang Yuyan also cast a puzzled gaze towards Su Ming. She did not understand all these twists and turns.
As a woman, she had lived a poor life since she was young. She did not know how to govern the world. She only knew how to kill everyone who was stronger than her and live on with her life!
Ying Zheng glanced at Li Si.
There were indeed consequences, but in their eyes, they were not big. If someone rebelled, they could just suppress them with force.
No one could survive against Great Qin's cavalry!
When he noticed the change in the expressions of the people beside him, Su Ming took a sip of tea and continued,
"Great Qin has a population of about 23 million. Now that Mount Li is under construction, I estimate that there are about 600,000 young and strong people on Mount Li.”
"And to build the Great Wall, we need two million young men!”
"Let's calculate, excluding the old, the weak, the sick, the high-ranking officials, and Great Qin's soldiers, how many people are there in Great Qin? They didn't even have ten million, but now they had to use three million young men to build the project. What kind of behavior was this?”
Ying Zheng looked at Su Ming, his eyes filled with shock. The decision to increase the amount of corvee required to build the Great Wall to two million was made by Ying Zheng himself not long ago.
In order to prevent chaos, this kind of thing could not be spread.
As expected of the Celestial Thearch, walking on the river of time, everything was within his calculations!
Li Si was also looking at Su Ming as if he was looking at a monster!
Perhaps it was because Jiang Yuyan was not good at math, but her head was spinning as she listened to him. However, her gaze towards Su Ming was filled with excitement.
"Three million young men!"
Su Ming looked at Ying Zheng and stretched out three fingers."Nearly half of the Great Qin Empire's young and strong people are working on construction projects. This is where the root of the problem lies.”
"In order to resist the Xiongnu, this method seems to be the simplest and crudest, but it will cost a lot of manpower, material resources, and financial resources.”
"It's easy to suppress a rebellion by force, but truly pacifying it means more than that.”
"If this continues, when the pressure reaches a certain level, it will only cause the people to retaliate.”
Facing Su Ming's indifferent gaze, Ying Zheng fell completely silent.
He knew that his actions might be inappropriate and cause trouble, but if he didn't do so, how could the Xiongnu resist?
He had to do this in order to become the greatest emperor in history and to receive the respect of his descendants.
He wanted to build the Great Wall to resist the Xiongnu.
He had built these magnificent buildings to show the great achievements of Great Qin, or rather, Ying Zheng.
Epang Palace, Mount Li Tomb, the Great Wall, and the Nine Prefectures Straight Path!
One by one.
His intention was to leave the admiration of future generations. He only had one goal, and that was to become an unprecedented emperor that shocked the past and the present.
But now, everything about him had been denied, and it was denied by the person he respected the most.
"Heavenly Emperor, please enlighten me!"
