After a while, Ying Zheng changed into a civilian robe and walked out. Li Si and I hurried to follow, and then boarded a carriage under the leadership of the torture officer.

After getting into the carriage, I took a rough look, big but big, but not as exaggerated as in the film and television drama, there was only room for three people in the carriage, a low table was placed in the center, and a bunch of neat bamboo slips were placed next to it.

The carriage moved slowly. Ying Zheng didn't speak, first picked up a roll of bamboo slips on the table, looked at it twice, and then raised his hand to hand the bamboo slips to Li Si, who quickly took it and looked at it carefully.

"The construction of Afang Palace is too slow!" Ying Zheng frowned and stared at Li Si, and slowly said, "I will leave Xianyang tomorrow, although you are with me, I want to hear your opinion." ”

Li Si glanced up at Yingzheng, handed me the bamboo slip in his hand, and then said, "Your Majesty, the ministers are brave, are we going to Afang Palace?" ”

Ying Zheng nodded.

Li Si continued: "At present, although the Yingyue case has been concluded, the missing people have also been made up by the remnants of the Chu State. However, if His Majesty wants to speed up the construction progress, it is necessary to increase the additional 100,000 people on the basis of two percent, and the minister discussed this matter with Xi Yue, the Shou of Nanyang County, which is located in the Central Plains and is relatively wealthy, and can levy 20,000 people. ”

While Li Si was speaking, I also looked at the bamboo slips in my hand, which turned out to be the construction of Afang Palace and Lishan Mausoleum.

Among them, the construction progress of Afang Palace is only one hundred and two, and there are two main problems, one is that the number of people built is far less than that of Lishan Mausoleum, only 180,000 people, or after making up for the number of people who have been tampered with by Yingyue; In addition, the wood and stone needed could not be transported to Xianyang in time, and the surrounding wood and stone had been mined almost when the Xianyang Palace was expanded.

The construction progress of the Lishan Mausoleum is slightly better, although the people who built the mausoleum are not as exaggerated as the 700,000 recorded in history, but it has also reached a staggering 400,000 people, you know, the total population of the Qin Dynasty at this time is only more than 30 million. The main structure of the Lisan Mausoleum has been completed and the details are being perfected, but I was taken aback when I saw the progress of the terracotta warriors and horses, which amazed future generations. As we all know, in the three figurine pits that have been excavated in later generations, all kinds of clay figurines have reached an astonishing more than 8,000, although it has been confirmed that there are other figurine pits are being excavated, but the scale is not the first to discover the scale of the No. 1, 2, 3 pits, but in this bamboo slip, the planned construction of the clay figurines is as many as more than 100,000!

'The First Emperor really wants to bring his army to the ground intact! I sighed in my heart that the concept of death as life has always run through the history of Chinese civilization for 5,000 years!

"In addition, the timber required by the minister has ordered the internal Shi Yinghui to be cut down and transported to Xianyang from the depths of the Nanshan Mountain, and the missing stone will be made up by Qi Huan, the county guard of Dongjun (now at the junction of Henan, Luzhou, and Hebei), and transported to Xianyang through Deshui (Yellow River)."

Ying Zheng's face slowed down slightly after hearing this: "Okay." ”

Then he turned to look at me and said, "Fusu, after I leave Xianyang, you must speed up the construction of Afang Palace and Lishan Mausoleum, and if you encounter any problems, you must immediately report to me." Li Si accompanies the car, and he can't know the construction situation in time, so you have to be careful about this matter. ”

I immediately straightened up and said, "Father, my sons will definitely do their best, thank my father for his trust." ”

Ying Zheng nodded and did not continue to say more.

After a while, as the carriage gradually slowed down, it stopped, and the execution was playing: "Your Majesty, you have arrived at Afang Palace." ”

Then the three of them got out of the car, and I was also excited to see how magnificent this big project was.

However, there is no "five steps to the first floor, ten steps to a pavilion", and there is no "corridor waist manback, eaves and teeth high peck", only a few large mounds and people who are picking up soil and ramming earth can be seen everywhere.

It is now the thirty-sixth year of the first emperor, and the Afang Palace has not even been built, so it seems that it is true that the Afang Palace has not been built in history. I couldn't help but complain, 'Du Mu can really brag, this imagination is too rich......

Just thinking about it, a person next to him saluted and said, "The right colonel ordered Bai Chong to meet the emperor." "It seems that the left school order Zhang Han is responsible for the construction of the Lishan Mausoleum, and it is this right school order Bai Chong who is responsible for the construction of the Afang Palace.

Ying Zheng said calmly: "There is no need to be polite. ”

"Emperor Xie." Bai Chong got up and replied: "Emperor, the progress of the construction of Afang Palace has been reported to the prime minister, do you need the minister to explain it to the emperor in detail?" ”

Ying Zheng waved his hand and said, "I already know. ”

After saying that, Ying Zheng turned around and walked to the carriage, and instructed the torturer: "Go to the Lishan Mausoleum." ”

Li Si and I hurriedly followed, I didn't understand what kind of medicine was sold in Yingzheng Hulu, obviously they were all here, why didn't they leave without saying anything?

Then the carriage set off again, and Ying Zheng didn't speak, picking up the piece next to him and starting to read it. Lees offered advice from time to time, and I sat there like a dumb guy watching the two of them.

The carriage traveled for more than three hours before arriving at the Lishan Mausoleum, and Zhang Han was already waiting at the official office. Speaking of an official office, it is actually a simple grass house built for officials and craftsmen.

At this time, it was the beginning of Shen Shi, and a few people simply ate some dry food, and then followed Zhang Han to a higher mound next to him, and the magnificent mound in front of him had left my loss in Afang Palace far behind.

The mound in front of us was not yet fully formed, and there were still people who were constantly transporting dirt to the mound, which was dug up during the excavation of the tombs, including the mound under our feet.

Ying Zheng didn't come close to watch, but stared at the front with a heavy face and didn't say a word, maybe he was looking at the majestic mound, maybe he was afraid of the monster that was about to bury him, or maybe he was imagining the pain of lying in the dark underground, although he couldn't feel it anymore.

After a long silence, Yingzheng's deep voice finally sounded: "You retreat, Fusu stays." ”

Li Si and the others walked down the mound.

Ying Zheng said, "Do you think I will be able to use it?" ”

My heart tightened, and I bowed my head and said: "My father's fortune is heavenly, and his longevity is boundless, and my son believes that my father and emperor will definitely seek immortal medicine and eternal life on this eastern tour!" ”

I didn't hear Ying Zheng's answer, and I didn't dare to raise my head, so I could only silently pray that Ying Zheng would not suddenly go berserk.

Although the cold wind of November is not to the bone, it also blows chills all over the body.

"What do you think of these people?" After a long time, Ying Zheng asked again.

Knowing that Yingzheng was talking about these people, I didn't know how to answer. If it was Fusu in history, he would definitely persuade Yingzheng again to reduce forced labor and live with the people. If you want to please Yingzheng and make your life more comfortable, I should say that it is their honor and other flattery. When I looked up and saw the thinly clothed and hungry people in the cold wind, I fell silent.

Ying Zheng turned his head to look at me, said a word and turned around and walked down the mound: "You have changed, but you have not changed." ”

Yes, I've changed, I'm no longer the Fusu of history.

But I have not changed, Fusu will sympathize with these miserable people, and I will not accept such a harsh law and such a heavy servitude.

On the way back to Xianyang, none of the three spoke again. I looked up to see the world at sunset in winter, but the doors and windows obscured my vision, and only the fire in the center of the carriage crackled.
