Chapter 912 Another Winter

The standards for the emperor's travels were very high. Loess paved roads and clear water streets were all the most basic.

And the land must be leveled to avoid bumps.

Not to mention other ceremonial guards, palaces along the road, food and fodder for the army and horses along the way, etc.

Not only does each trip cost a lot of money, but also recruit civilians to prepare for the army's trip.

Therefore, no matter which emperor went on tour before, the people at the lowest level would always suffer some hardships.

At this time, there were also countless civilians working on the main road from Daqin to the North.

Some of them are repaving the roads, some are carrying materials, and some are delivering food. Everyone is doing their best to do their own thing.

There were also officials from the government nearby. Of course, what they were holding was not the whip used by the supervisor, but the big iron trumpet that Zhao Lang had used on the battlefield. They were shouting loudly,

"His Majesty's bike frame will be here in three days, everyone is hurrying up."

"Working for five hours a day is a wage, including food and accommodation. If you are willing to work extra, you will be rewarded with official uniform!"

After hearing these shoutings, the minds of the people became active, and many people commented,

"Although the day's wages are fair, I still feel it's a bit short."

"Just be content. When you recruited civilian husbands before, when did you receive money and keep you fed?"

"That's not what I meant. I just want to work more hours a day and earn more money, so that my boy can get a foothold in the city in the future."

"Hey, good boy, your family is really thoughtful. I can't do it anymore, and I don't want to be exhausted."

Everyone was talking about it, but the government officials on the side shook their heads slightly and said unconsciously,

"Hey, these people have caught up with the good times. They are just doing some labor, but they are still picky. If this happened in the past, they would have to complete the construction period even if they were exhausted. Otherwise, everyone would be punished if they missed the deadline."

Another person next to me came back,

"Just stop saying a few words. His Highness the Crown Prince values ​​ordinary people now, and the officials of the Overwatch Council are going crazy. They will kill people if they catch a clue."

"I heard that many of the great nobles in the Xianyang court have been cheated."

"Okay, these things have nothing to do with me. You go and take a look. Don't let anything happen to these people, otherwise we people will be unlucky again."

"Sigh... this is really... it's not interesting to be an official. I will resign from this position when I find a new job. Being a commoner is much more interesting."

The official shook his head and walked in another direction.

A few days later, as groups of spies rushing past to explore the road, everyone knew that the Qin Shi Huangdi's carriage was coming.

Fortunately, the part they were responsible for had already been completed ahead of schedule, and they could now watch Qin Shihuang's team from the outside.

Not long after, rows of elite Great Qin warriors appeared in front of everyone.

Qin Shihuang's carriage was naturally guarded in it.

Seeing this scene, the people around them saluted and shouted with a bit of fanaticism,

"Your Majesty, ten thousand years! Great Qin, ten thousand years!"

At this time, in Qin Shihuang's spacious carriage, several veterans were looking at the situation outside with complicated expressions.

They were forcibly brought here by Qin Shihuang, but the changes in Great Qin along the way were a bit difficult for them to understand.

The emperor's tour was originally a waste of money and people, but now it is that wherever the emperor goes, life will be much easier.

This subverts their understanding.

But seeing the fanatical people outside, the ministers knew that the Qin Dynasty was now as stable as Mount Tai and as impregnable as gold.

No one dares to have any other thoughts.

"Everyone, how is Great Qin today?"

At this time, Qin Shihuang's voice sounded from the side.

Upon hearing the question, the old ministers all saluted and said,

"The Qin Dynasty will have no worries for ten thousand years!"

No one mentioned the cruise again.

Now, wherever Qin Shihuang goes on tour, the roads there will be carefully repaired, and the surrounding people will also get extra work opportunities.

How could the people not welcome it?

As for the money spent, it came from the royal family and had nothing to do with the court.

After hearing this, Qin Shihuang couldn't help but feel a little proud.

Listening to the shouts outside again, a smile suddenly appeared on his face.

This feeling of being supported is great.

And along the way, we can see the changes in various counties. The clothes on the people's bodies are obviously much thicker, and they no longer look skinny and bones.

Of course, the current tour is not without its shortcomings. He has only gone on two tours now, and all the money he has accumulated in his palace has been consumed.

At this time, I can only comfort myself with Lang'er's words,

"Money is money when it is spent. It can become clothes on people's bodies and food in their mouths."

"When the common people buy and sell these things, various items will be circulated during the period, and the Qin government will receive taxes, so that the country and the people will be equally wealthy."

"It doesn't matter if the royal family suffers a little loss."

Qin Shihuang comforted himself for a while before he recovered.

He waved his hand and sent all the old ministers out. He just wanted to let these old men see clearly the changes in the situation.

After returning, take the initiative to leave a place for the newcomers in Da Qin.

If you don't realize it yet, don't blame him for being cruel.

Having made up his mind, Qin Shihuang stopped thinking about it and began to look forward to meeting his grandson in the future. He asked Zhao Gao beside him,

"How long will it take to reach the Northland?"

Zhao Gao replied cheerfully,

"Your Majesty, we will definitely arrive within a month."

Qin Shi Huang immediately nodded with satisfaction and said,

"Have someone speed it up."

Zhao Gao immediately took the order.

———

Time passed by, and the weather in the Northland became increasingly colder.

The cold wind howled down from the north, bringing countless clouds and gloomy clouds.

Experienced old people all know that winter is coming.

Only this time they were no longer panicking, because the granary was full of potatoes and millet.

The body is covered with warm, thick clothes, and the bed is covered with a thick quilt.

This winter, they even thought about enjoying the snow.

The gloomy weather has become a bit better.

Of course not everyone is interested in enjoying the scenery.

At this time, in a heavily guarded farm, Zhao Lang stood outside a yard with an anxious expression.

In the courtyard, Ji Wushuang's painful cries came over.

Today is the day she gives birth.

Even with Mr. Qin in charge, Zhao Lang couldn't help but feel extremely nervous.

At this moment, a thunder suddenly sounded in the sky.

Zhao Lang looked up and saw countless snowflakes flying down.

It’s winter again.
