This is not the first time Xiang Yu has seen the decisiveness of Yinggao's action, from the previous incident when Han Xin came to the Xiongnu to negotiate, Xiang Yu has actually discovered that Daqin has no interest in the Xiongnu, and what they really want is just peace in the rear of Daqin.

Han Xin had already passed on one of Yinggao's thoughts to Xiang Yu, that is, even if Yinggao tried his best to destroy Xiang Yu, then further north, further west, would only be a more barren land and a more ferocious race that would breed there.

This kind of war is endless, it is better to get along with Xiang Yu, a once-in-a-lifetime Central Plains man who became a Xiongnu Shan Yu, and let everyone live well under the condition of taking what they need.

If Xiang Yu heard these words when he was in Jiangdong, he would have turned Han Xin to the ground with a big mouth, and then declared war on Daqin, but now Xiang Yu is no longer that kind of person.

He also deeply understood that the reason why there was a feud between him and Yinggao was not because of the two of them, but because history had pushed them in opposite directions, and now, they were creating a new history, so their relationship could naturally be redefined.

"Prepare the soldiers and horses, and arrive thirty miles outside the gate of Shangjun in five days!"

After Xiang Yu read the letter, he didn't say a word, he gave an order directly, and he didn't know why for this meeting, he always had an inexplicable sense of expectation in his heart, and he didn't even think that Yinggao would set him up here.

He didn't know why he had such trust in this guy who was supposed to be his enemy, but he felt that there was really nothing to stop him.

Ying Gao's arrangement, in fact, still let himself out of the surplus for a period of time, after he arrived in Shangjun, there were two days left before the agreed deadline with Xiang Yu, these two days, Ying Gao did nothing else, but personally set foot on the Great Wall, like the Great Qin soldiers guarding the Great Wall and the people who repaired the Great Wall to ensure that as long as he reigned, the border of Daqin would be stable for a day.

In the matter of repairing the Great Wall, although Yinggao had also been to Shangjun in a hurry before, he forgot to pay attention to it because he focused all his attention on borrowing troops from Meng Tian.

This returned to Shangjun, and Yinggao had to see what was difficult for the guy who built the Great Wall, because in later generations more than 2,000 years later, the historical materials about Daqin were not as rich as those of the Tang, Song, Ming and Qing dynasties.

But there is one thing that teenagers know, in a sense, even if it is one of the impressions of Daqin by people who are not very proficient in history in later generations, it is not a good impression.

This matter, or this sentence, is Meng Jiangnu crying on the Great Wall.

In fact, Yinggao knows about this, it's just a legend, and the prototype of the character is actually a story in "Zuo Biography", which is still the wife of Qi Liang, a military general of Qi during the Warring States Period, who has no name and no surname, and has nothing to do with the Great Wall.

But not long after the time, in the Western Han Dynasty, a guy named Liu Xiang first told the story of Qi Liang's wife in "Zuo Biography" in "The Legend of the Martyr", and then he continued to write: Qi Liang's wife has no heirs, and her mother-in-law has no relatives, and she became a lonely family after her husband died. Qi Liang's wife "cried about her husband's corpse under the city", the cry was very sad, and passers-by were all moved. Ten days later, "the city collapsed."

He is obviously a dog's tail and a mink, making it up at will, but it doesn't matter if he makes it up, it will become more and more outrageous in later generations, and finally completely change the background characters of people's stories, and the protagonists have become out of the gourd, and the approximate meaning has become that the first emperor and Daqin are brutal.

Ying Gao knew that such a change was by no means groundless, and the historical data about the Great Qin in later generations was incomplete, and there was no mention of the construction of the Great Wall, but the construction of the Great Wall accounted for a large part of the conscription valued by the First Emperor, which is an indisputable fact.

Therefore, Yinggao deduced that this guy who built the Great Wall must not be a good job, otherwise it would not have been hundreds or even thousands of years, and the resentment among the people is still so big.

Although Yinggao has reduced the burden on the people after the implementation of the new policy, the men who built the Great Wall are mainly done by some death row prisoners and felons, and they can offset their own sentences.

But this is the case, Ying Gao Yi understands, and heard that the construction site of the Great Wall is still the hardest hit area of Daqin's service deaths.

So this time, Yinggao naturally has to take a good look at what kind of situation caused such a result. He didn't want to let himself die out in this era, and after that, there would be another family in later generations, so he changed "Zuo Biography" to something that scolded him.

"Your Majesty, the construction of the Great Wall is indeed a very hard work, and the places that need to be built are all dangerous, do you really want to go and see it in person?"

After Yinggao made this request, Meng Tian didn't refuse much, but sighed and reminded him. Ying Gao immediately heard that Meng Tian was giving himself a vaccination, after all, what he had been advocating was to reduce the burden on the people.

"Naturally, you have to go, and you have to go with me, even Mrs. Tian Yan, who followed me this time, will also go with me!"

All of a sudden, the people below didn't have anything to say.

This time I came to Shangjun, after careful consideration, Yinggao still let Feng Qing stay in Xianyang Palace, after all, when he met Xiang Yu, there was no danger at all, it was nonsense, in case one of the two people collapsed, the army of more than 100,000 on both sides was estimated to be fighting, and at this time, Shangjun didn't know what it would become, Yinggao naturally couldn't let Feng Qing, who was very weak, follow the adventure.

But Tian Yan is different, Tian Yan's kung fu, even if it is placed in Daqin's guards, it is a level that almost no one can compete with, otherwise her senior brother would not have been full of confidence to get her into Xianyang Palace to assassinate Yinggao, right? According to the Zhu family, in the matter of martial arts, Tian Yan is definitely a talented player.

This time, the five people that Yinggao was carrying, Tian Yan booked a seat as soon as she knew the news, according to her, Yinggao's wife would definitely shock Xiang Yu in terms of momentum.

In case of an accident, Tian Yan's performance will definitely surprise Xiang Yu again, as the killer of Yinggao's side, Yinggao thought about it for a while, and thought that what Tian Yan said really has a lot of truth, so he agreed to this matter, if Tian Yan is accompanied by Tian Yan, he will not be too boring on the road, right?

So, on the day Yinggao arrived in Shangjun, they were led by Meng Tian to the foot of the Great Wall that was being repaired more than ten miles away from the city of Shangjun.

It is an inconspicuous place, and there is not even a village for more than ten miles around, only a few small hills and loess everywhere. But when Yinggao looked up at the towering walls of the Great Wall, he was still shocked by what he saw.

In later generations, Yinggao has not been to the Great Wall, but compared to this era, the Great Wall that Yinggao saw at the beginning can only be described as ruins, after more than 2,000 years of polishing, the Great Wall at that time is no longer the Great Wall that has really experienced the baptism of blood and fire in this era.

I saw that the towering city wall was not made of all kinds of bricks and tiles used in the Great Wall of the Ming Dynasty that could often be seen in later generations, but was basically made of rammed earth.

In other words, the long city wall was completely made of soft and soft soil.

The Great Wall they saw at this time was obviously after a war that I don't know when, which caused a piece of rammed earth in the middle to fall, and it was undoubtedly unimaginable that it would not look very serious on the ground, and it would be unimaginable to repair it to the same as before by relying only on manual labor.

At this time, Yinggao passed by them, there were teams of carriages pulling loess, but when the loess reached the foot of the Great Wall, it was obvious that the carriages could no longer be used, and from this time on, every step tested the service.

They set up a ladder and carried baskets of loess on their backs to the damaged place, where many people were waving their tools on the ladder, trying their best to tamp the loess that had recently been used on the Great Wall.

From a small point to a big one, this is just a small area that needs to be repaired, which makes Yinggao see countless dangers that may come at any time, and he can't imagine how many lives will remain in this barren place forever if such a Great Wall is really built.

"How many people die every year in the service of falling from a height while building the Great Wall?"

What Meng Tian didn't expect was that after Ying Gao looked at it for a while, he asked such a sentence expressionlessly.

"This ...... It is not counted, but in the months since the end of this year, nearly 4,000 people have died in the service of building the Great Wall, and those who fell from the height ...... I'm afraid there are nearly a thousand people. ”

Even though he was prepared, Yinggao still gasped, it was only seven or eight months, and he had already died so much, and in this year, wouldn't it be that six or seven thousand people would die just by building the Great Wall?

And this is still the situation that he has already reduced the burden on the people of Great Qin a lot, if it is according to the kind of dry method before the First Emperor, Ying Gao does not dare to imagine the number, he only knows that this number will even be more than the number of soldiers killed in the battle of Great Qin every year, and there are many more.

After Meng Tian finished introducing this matter, he also lowered his head, he didn't know what Ying Gao meant by asking such words, but after all, this was within his jurisdiction, as a nobleman of Daqin and the commander of the upper county, he really didn't care much about the death of the people who served, but now he found that the emperor cared more than himself.

"Those who die should be treated favorably to their families......"

In the end, after stopping and observing for nearly half an hour, Yinggao only said such a sentence, and during the whole process, except for Tian Yan, who was standing near Yinggao, who found that the corners of Yinggao's eyes were a little ruddy, Yinggao did not have any expression, nor did he make any movements.

After saying this, Yinggao turned around silently and walked in the direction of the city, and everyone just followed silently, but the atmosphere was already extremely depressing.

After stopping and observing for half an hour, Yinggao finally knew why people in later generations would use the story of Meng Jiangnu to talk about Daqin, this is really not a legend, but a real appearance.

In a place where almost a lot of people fall and die every day, others can only continue to fill that person's position and continue to work as if nothing happened, I don't know when that kind of bad luck will befall them, what kind of day is this, what kind of day will this month's conscription destroy a person's heart, and Daqin, what kind of existence will it be in such a person's heart?

Yinggao has been thinking about these problems, he knows that this has nothing to do with Meng Tian, people are just working for your old Ying's family, to solve the problem, you Yinggao has to find a way himself.

"I am bent on letting the people of Great Qin get rid of their previous lives, but in the end, there are still too many purgatory-like existences like this, and what I have done is far from enough!"

On this night, Yinggao, who was already lying on the bed, couldn't sleep for a long time, he looked at Tian Yan, and slowly said what he had been thinking about in his heart, but he had never said it in front of anyone.

Tian Yan obviously didn't sleep either, she had already discovered Yinggao's abnormality after she finished watching the Great Wall, and she was thinking about how she could persuade her, but she didn't think that it would be the middle of the night, but Yinggao opened her mouth first.

What made Tian Yan even more grateful was that Yinggao was not worried about the upcoming meeting with Xiang Yu, but blamed himself for the existence of such a place in Daqin under his governance.

"Jun Shang grew up in Xianyang Palace every day, naturally I don't know what the world outside Xianyang City is like, although Tian Yan grew up in the mountains since he was a child, but he often walks down the mountain, now although I am the wife of the king, but in all fairness, under the rule of the king, the life of the people is already several times better than before, as for the casualties here, I am afraid that it is difficult to even count the statistics before."

Tian Yan has obviously seen enough of this people's suffering, otherwise, if she is such an assertive person, if she knew that Yinggao was a Ming Jun, she would never cry and shout to come and assassinate him, right? So what she said could still make Yinggao's heart feel a lot more comfortable, after all, the progress she has made is obvious to all, and she is still on the road of progress.

"I, I will make Daqin better!"
