Chapter 33: Abolition
Although Fusu has often made some operations that he cannot understand recently, he paid wages to the corvee workers who built the Great Wall and abolished the corvee system?
This still shocked Meng Tian.
Corvée is the obligation that the vast capital of Guizhou must obey, and to work for the country free of charge, which is naturally an important means of national development.
If it is abolished, who will do the fortifications such as the Great Wall, the Afang Palace, and the Lishan Mausoleum?
If Mr. Fusu spends money here?
This must have been another heavy expenditure for the Qin court.
"Why not?"
Fusu's face was still calm and casual, Meng Tian's reaction was as expected.
"Young Master, how much labor service is in the world? Today I have exempted the Great Wall corvee and paid them wages. What would the labor service in other places think? It will cause trouble. In this way, the world will be in chaos!" Meng Tian didn't even bother to eat mutton skewers and said anxiously.
In addition, Meng Tian still didn't say a word.
The young master Fusu was responsible for supervising the labor service for 100,000,000 labor service, and now he paid the labor service service.
So if there is no wages in places like Afang Palace and Lishan Mausoleum, does not it seem that Your Majesty has no virtue?
This is a big taboo!
"General Meng, let me ask you a question. An old lady fell down on the road and no one else could see her. If you see it, will you help me?" Fusu asked without answering.
"It's a simple task, so of course I can do it!" Meng Tian nodded.
"Then, according to General Meng's words, no one else can help him, but you go and help him? Wouldn't it seem that others are ruthless?" Fusu asked back.
"This, this..."
Fusu's rhetoric made Meng Tian stagnate for a moment and could only say in a daze: "Can this trivial little thing be the same as the major affairs of the country?"
"So, I said before that I want to test my father's ability and see him. How would he choose in the face of these things that are apparently illegal but are beneficial to the Guizhou leader in the world!" Fusu said.
It turns out that what the young master said at the beginning, he had planned this a long time ago to test His Majesty's weapon?
Meng Tian suddenly realized.
Originally, I thought that the so-called tester measurement was just to simply see how His Majesty would react when communicating with the Huns.
Since this matter has been discussed a long time ago, it is naturally difficult to persuade him again.
After a moment of silence, he thought of persuading from a roundabout perspective: "Young Master, 100,000 corvee labor, each person has ten coins per day? This day is one million coins!"
"One hundred thousand corvee labor and soldiers, every day, the expenses of eating, eating meat, etc. are about two million yuan a day. Now, it can be supplied, and there is still a surplus."
"If more and more Xiongnu cattle and sheep are brought to sell in the future, and the wholesale of land frost and glasses are also provided to provide 100,000 labor service wages, it is not a problem!"
Fusu's expression was still calm and he was not scared by the expenses of millions of dollars a day.
Well, Meng Tian is really speechless now.
After all, Meng Tian has also known a little about the recent plundering of wealth by nectar and jade liquid and those small mirrors.
Not to mention, Fusu now thought of ways to plunder wealth from the Huns.
For Fusu, the things he and Meng Tian talked about were not discussed with him, but just notified him.
The conversation was almost done and the mutton skewers were almost done. Fusoda burped, drank the last bite of iced sour plum juice, and got up and asked someone to arrange it.
"What a bold move, what should I do? Should I be venting this matter in advance?"
Holding the last skewer of flesh in his hand, Meng Tian felt a dilemma now.
Originally, the young master Fusu was named the Great Wall Supervisor in this military camp, but in fact he was taking care of himself.
Therefore, the young master’s words and deeds should be reported to His Majesty.
However, Meng Tian hesitated to report on this matter today, not knowing whether he should report it.
If Your Majesty is mentally prepared, the punishment for the young master should be lighter, or even no punishment!
This is a good development!
But what if His Majesty is angry?
I am the whistleblower. In this way, I will always be an untrustworthy person in the heart of the young master, right?
As for whether Your Majesty can approve this matter? Meng Tian was indeed unsure of it.
...
On the second day, many of the corvee workers who were built on the Great Wall, including some famous small leaders, were gathered, with a total of about two thousand people.
As representatives of corvee labor, they were gathered in a large square.
"Brother Zhang San, look at the people around you, everyone is a bit of a good person in our corvee service."
"Yes, I don't know why we were summoned to you all the time, but don't make any bad news."
"What are you two thinking? As long as Young Master Fusu stays here for a day, we won't have to worry about anything for a day!"
These corvee workers were naturally a little nervous and started to talk in a low voice.
However, some people around him could see clearly, but they just raised Fusu's name and immediately calmed down.
Yes, the lives of these corvee workers have changed drastically in the past two months.
First, the pulley set makes everyone easier and safer!
Forget it if you can have enough food every day, there is still meat and fish every day. Even if you eat noodles occasionally in the morning, you can also divide it with an egg!
Nowadays, the weather is hot, and every morning and afternoon, there is a bowl of iced sour plum soup to cool off the heat.
It is not an exaggeration to say that this day is a god.
Young Master Fusu is so kind that as long as he stays here for a day, he really has nothing to worry about.
"Look, Mr. Fusu is here..."
Just as these corvee workers were talking in a low voice, Fusu slowly walked up to the podium in this square.
The originally a little nervous mood disappeared immediately with Fusu's appearance!
Since Young Master Fusu came forward in person, there is nothing to worry about.
"In just two months, these corvee workers are so devoted to the young master!"
Following Fusu, you could clearly feel that the anxiety of these corvee workers was immediately calmed down, and Meng Tian sighed in her heart.
Not only corvee workers, but even the 300,000 soldiers under his command were almost the same.
How many years have you been taking these hundreds of thousands of soldiers to have such prestige?
Young Master Fusu, I did it in just a few months?
"Young Master! Young Master Fusu!"
"Young Master Rende, your son Rende!"
"Young Master Fusu for thousands of years, and the Qin for thousands of years!"
...
As Fusu came to the stage, the Guizhou leaders below shouted one after another, which made Fusu feel like he had become a super star.
"Who is the one who calls me for thousands of years? Stand up for me! Is this slandering me for wanting to rebel and usurp the throne?"
Fusu stood on stage and said with a dark face.
As Fusu finished speaking, the soldiers next to him found the shouting person, and then with a clang, the blade was unsheathed!
"Put your knife away, fight and kill, and take off your pants and hit it a few times!" Fusu waved his hand.
Originally, a lot of corvee labor was shocked, but now I feel relieved when Fusu deals with it like this.
The young master said it was right, and he called Young Master Wannian. This could be big or small, and this would be considered a big deal to make a small matter.
"Okay, let's finish talking about the jokes. Now let's talk about the serious business! Everyone is quiet!" He reached out and pressed his hand, and Fusu's face turned upright.
The Qianshou leaders who were originally hilarious quickly stopped talking, no one spoke, and their eyes were staring at Fusu.
"There are three things to talk about today!"
"The first thing is that at the foot of the Great Wall Mountain, I want to build a commerce business. Uh, simply put, it is a market. Ten thousand people need to be mobilized to rush to work!"
"The second thing is that from now on, I will abolish your corvee service system. Now you are building the Great Wall, not free corvee service, but instead of Daqin, I will hire you to work, each person with a wage of 300 yuan per month!"
"Finally, you must never say what Mr. Wannian said. If you want to say, just say something more honest."
Chapter completed!
