Seeing that a few old men reverted to blowing their beards and staring at them, and they couldn't wait to roll up their sleeves and fight, the faces of the meritorious marquis and hundred officials at the root of the palace wall suddenly became a little weird.

As for the onlookers not far away, they were also full of curiosity, and they tiptoed sideways, casting their eyes to several old men and the direction where Liu Ying was.

Xu is the simple and cute appearance of his own parents, which makes people feel a little blushing, and after a while, the three or five young people walked out of the crowd and came to their respective elders.

"Adult~"

"Your Excellency?"

"Your Highness is still on the side······

was persuaded by their respective sons and nephews, and several old men all turned around with angry eyes.

When I heard this slightly weak reminder, I turned back one after another.

Seeing that Liu Ying was still smiling and full of kindness, several old men couldn't help but smile shyly and bowed their hands to Liu Ying.

"Your Highness in person, the people are rude, rude······"

After a confession, seeing that Liu Ying's face was still not the slightest unhappy, the eldest old man pondered for a while, and then changed the topic a little stiffly.

"Your Highness just said, Your Majesty is personally ······ the expedition?"

Hearing this, Liu Ying's face suddenly showed a look of 'sudden realization', and with a laugh, she naturally took over the conversation.

"The father and the emperor drove the expedition in person, and ordered the boy to supervise the government of the prince and the country, and entrusted him with the renovation of Zheng Guoqu······"

As soon as Liu Ying was halfway through speaking, he saw the old man sigh 'um' and nodded again and again.

"That's true."

"Zheng Guoqu, it has indeed reached the point where it must be repaired."

"Last year, the old man still went to look at it, and when he saw Zheng Guoqu to the lotus spoon, the water almost couldn't flow?"

Listening to the old man's sigh to himself, Liu Ying also nodded in agreement.

"The father also knew that Zheng Guoqu had reached an unknowable place of non-cultivation, so before he set out on the expedition, he asked the boy to take charge of this matter."

"With the order of his father, the boy did not dare to slack off, so he summoned the ministers of the court and the central government to discuss it, knowing that the renovation of the Zheng Guoqu would require tens of thousands of ······ of labor."

Hearing this, the old man nodded again, and then sighed with vicissitudes.

"Alas~"

"Tens of thousands of forced labor, it's not much······"

"Thinking back then, the beginning... Uh, Qin Wangzheng. ”

Hurriedly changing the 'First Emperor' to 'Qin Wangzheng', the old man continued as if nothing had happened: "In the first year of Qin Wangzheng, the Qin court ordered the repair of Zheng Guoqu, and there were hundreds of thousands of people in Guanzhong, and every household was young and strong! ”

"What's more, there are occasional prosperous households with men, and there are two or three young and strong people!"

"Nearly one million young and strong people are recruited every year, and they work for three or five months when the farm is slack, so that at the age of ten, Zheng Guoqu can be built!"

"Now, Zheng Guoqu has been in disrepair for nearly ten years, and the road is completely blocked, and tens of thousands of people have been repaired with forced labor, which is not much, not much·····"

Hearing the old man's exclamation, Liu Ying also nodded in agreement.

"Very much."

"The renovation of Zheng Guoqu, tens of thousands of laborers, is indeed not much."

"However, even if there are not many, the kid will not dare to enlist in Guanzhong again······"

Quietly turning the conversation, Liu Ying shook her head with worry, and there was a faint sigh in her tone.

"Since the second was established, the world was in turmoil, and then Xiang Yu burned Xianyang Palace, Zhang He, Sima Xin and other faint kingfish meat Guanzhong."

"When my father and emperor returned to Sanqin, he recuperated with the people of Guanzhong, and first levied Xiang Yu's violence, and then pacified the rebellion of the princes with different surnames······"

"Since the second to the present, more than ten years have passed; The people of Guanzhong are very tired······"

"This time, Chen Feng made trouble on behalf of Zhao again, and his father drove the imperial expedition in person, and had no choice but to summon hundreds of thousands of people in Guanzhong, or as soldiers, or as people who transported grain."

Speaking of this, Liu Ying did not forget to smile at several old men with a bitter face.

"Just now, the old men also said that there are many children, grandchildren, sons and nephews in the family, and there are many people who go out with their father."

"If this time, because of the renovation of Zheng Guoqu, the kid will resume conscription in Guanzhong······"

After stopping the conversation in time, Liu Ying finally shook her head with unbearability, and then smiled bitterly.

"The kid can't bear to work too much, and he doesn't dare to work too much~"

After saying that, Liu Ying did not forget to raise her head and smile at the four old men.

Seeing Liu Ying's face that was clearly at the end of the road, but still unwilling to be conscripted to serve the peasants, several old men looked at each other for a while, and couldn't help but nod their heads.

"It's worthy of Liu's son······"

"Just talking about this benevolence and love for the people, even if it is compared to Your Majesty, it will not be too much!"

Secretly thinking about it, the faces of the four old men slowly took on a little firmness.

- If necessary, be sure to help His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!

After all, no matter how you say it, the people who will benefit in the end from the construction of Zhengguo Canal are still the people and the farmers in Guanzhong.

That's a good thing!

Thinking like this, several old men looked at each other again, and the eldest stepped forward and bowed his hand to Liu Yingwei.

"Your Highness's renovation of the Zhengguo Canal is a good governance for the benefit of the country and the people, and the people, etc., thank Your Highness for ······"

Seeing that several old men bent down with great effort and made a posture of bowing down, Liu Yingzi helped several old men up with a panicked face, and said that he didn't dare to bear it.

When Liu Ying helped him up, he saw the old man looking at Liu Ying with a puzzled face.

"His Royal Highness wants to renovate the Zhengguo Canal, and tens of thousands of troops are needed; However, His Highness has no intention of recruiting the people, where should this forced labor come from? ”

Hearing this, Liu Ying finally breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.

- Finally got to the point!

Seeing Liu Ying groan slightly, he immediately made a pretending to be strong again.

"You don't have to worry about this matter."

"Earlier, the boy had ordered the Shaofu to send Chengdan, ghost salaries, subordinate concubines and other official slaves, as well as the prisoners of the Imperial Lieutenant Prison and the Water Boat Prison, to have more than 30,000 forced labor."

Without changing his face, he told the little lie of 'conscripting prisoners to serve as hard labor', and saw Liu Ying sigh again.

"However, even so, there is still a lot of labor required for the renovation of Zheng Guoqu."

"And now, although the world is fixed, it is still in ruins, and the treasury is empty."

"The war in the Kwantung region has been raging for many years, and my father and emperor have personally conquered and not submitted to foreign countries, and the consumption of food, grass and baggage for the army is also very huge."

"The boy has no strength to repair the canal, and he has no money or food; In the past ten months, it can be said that I am haggard and have difficulty sleeping······"

Full of melancholy complaints, Liu Ying turned his head sideways and looked at the palace wall under the outer wall, with a little panic on his face.

"For your plain frightening sake······"

"Let's get you all back."

Thinking like this, Liu Ying glanced at several old men again, and then turned sideways and raised his head slightly in the direction of Gonghou Baiguan.

"When the court's meritorious marquis and hundreds of officials heard about the lack of the boy's coolies, they played the boy's words: I am willing to leave the family as a private slave, thinking that Zheng Guoqu will be a force for repair."

Saying that, Liu Ying smiled miserably again, and smiled at the door of the room, which was already crowded with private slaves in the family of the Gonghou Baiguan.

"The kindness of the meritorious marquis and hundreds of officials, the kid had already declined, but he never thought that the princess would bring his own private slaves to the ······outside of the palace."
