[Connects Ancient and Modern + Infrastructure + Hoarding Supplies] Li Rongrong discovered that the new mirror she bought had come alive. No matter what she threw into it, it wouldn't fill up, a...
"Rongrong!"
Fusu called out anxiously, but his voice echoed in the empty palace, but no one answered.
He hurriedly walked around the supplies and ran towards his Black Dragon Mirror, but the mirror had now returned to its former calmness and no longer had any light flashing.
With such a loud commotion, the guards immediately noticed something was wrong.
"Look! That's Master Fusu!"
A sharp-eyed guard was the first to notice Prince Fusu, who was standing next to the pile of supplies and looked very anxious.
The guard's voice was filled with uncontrollable excitement.
"It's really the young master! He's back!" Another guard followed closely behind with the same light flashing in his eyes.
They quickly gathered around Fusu, and everyone's face was filled with unspeakable joy.
"Master, you are finally back! We have been looking for you for a long time!"
...
...
A guard stepped forward, his voice choking with sobs.
He recalled those days when Prince Fusu suddenly disappeared, shocking the entire Qin Dynasty, and His Majesty even ordered a nationwide search.
Prince Fusu has finally returned. Your Majesty will not kill them all just because they stepped on the floor tiles of the Xianyang Palace with their left feet.
Now, the young master stood in front of them safe and sound, and the joy almost overwhelmed them.
Fusu nodded. Although he was still extremely anxious about Li Rongrong's disappearance, he remained calm.
"I'm fine, thank you for your hard work."
"Sir, these supplies... are these all brought back by you?" A guard looked at the items from the future curiously, his eyes full of wonder and awe.
Fusu nodded, but his mind was obviously not here.
Upon seeing this, a guard immediately turned around and ran to Qin Shihuang's imperial study at the fastest speed, silently saying in his heart: "Your Majesty, the young master is back, the young master is really back!"
In the imperial study, Qin Shihuang was buried in a mountain of memorials, his brows furrowed, his eyes revealing his worry about state affairs and his concern for Fusu.
Suddenly, a burst of hurried footsteps broke the silence in the room, and a guard, sweating and panting, knelt down in front of Qin Shihuang.
"Your Majesty, great joy! Prince Fusu...Prince Fusu is back!" The guard's voice was filled with excitement that was difficult to conceal.
Qin Shi Huang raised his head abruptly upon hearing this. A gleam of disbelief flashed in his eyes, which then turned into endless joy and excitement. "What did you say? Fusu is back? Quick, take me to see him!"
As Qin Shi Huang spoke, he stood up and walked out with big strides, completely disregarding his usual majestic imperial image.
Seeing this, the guards hurriedly surrounded Qin Shihuang and trotted through the long corridor to the palace where Fusu was.
The moment Qin Shihuang stepped into the palace, he saw Fusu standing there quietly.
"Qin Shi Huang stepped forward quickly, "Fusu, you are back."
Fusu calmed down, bowed and said, "Father, I made you worry. I am unfilial."
Qin Shi Huang looked at him carefully. "Very good, you have grown. Tell me, where have you been during this period? What have you encountered?"
Fusu took a deep breath and briefly recounted to Qin Shihuang his experiences during this period, including what he had learned in the modern era and the materials he had brought back from the future.
"Those supplies..." Qin Shihuang pointed to the mountains of grain, cloth, ironware, medicine and books, his eyes flashing with curiosity and amazement.
"Yes, father. These are brought from future generations, and they will have a huge impact on the development of our Great Qin." Fusu replied.
Qin Shi Huang nodded, his eyes gleaming with thought. "Okay, okay! I will make good use of these materials to make our country stronger!"
At this time, Zhang Han also hurried over. He was originally dealing with state affairs, but after hearing the news that Fusu had returned, he immediately put down his work.
Upon seeing this, Qin Shihuang immediately ordered him to be responsible for the distribution and utilization of these materials.
"I order you to be fully responsible for the distribution and utilization of these materials and ensure that they can maximize their value." Qin Shihuang said.
Zhang Han saluted respectfully, his eyes revealing his admiration and curiosity for Fusu. "As you command, Your Majesty."
Fusu also nodded to Zhang Han.
Zhang Han hurried to deal with it. The grain was sent to the national treasury, the cloth and medicine were distributed to the people in need, and the ironware was sent to the workshop to be made into weapons and farm tools.
Every piece of material has been properly placed, and they will become an important cornerstone for the rise of the Qin Dynasty.
Qin Shihuang still had a lot of state affairs to deal with, so after greeting Fusu, he prepared to deal with the allocation and use of these supplies.
But Fusu had no time to care about anything else at this time. He was extremely anxious and immediately ordered people to draw a portrait of Li Rongrong and distribute it to every corner of the Xianyang Palace and even to the entire Xianyang City, vowing to find her.
Qin Shi Huang also guessed something in his heart. He comforted Fusu softly: "Don't worry, my son. I will immediately order a city-wide search and I will definitely find the girl."
That girl might be the person from the future...
And it seems that he has a special relationship with Fusu...
Qin Shihuang pondered for a moment and had a vague guess in his mind.
After Qin Shihuang left, Fusu paced back and forth inside and outside the palace.
As night fell, Xianyang City was brightly lit, and the search continued. Fusu stood on the high platform of the palace, staring into the distance.
On the other side, Li Rongrong woke up in an unknown forest. The sunlight shone through the gaps in the treetops, sprinkling on her face, but it could not dispel the panic and confusion in her heart.
She looked around and saw nothing but lush trees and the occasional chirping of birds. Even Fusu, who had traveled with her, had disappeared without a trace.
"Fusu, where are you?"
Li Rongrong called softly, her voice echoing in the empty forest, but no one answered.
She took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down.
"Please don't do it with some primitive forest or orcs or something like that."
Li Rongrong shook her head, shaking off all the messy thoughts in her head.
"This should be Daqin."
"Now that we are here, our first priority is to find a place where humans live, understand the situation here, and then find a way to find Fusu."
Fortunately, this forest is not completely isolated from the outside world. There is a cement road not far away. Although it is not as flat as modern roads, it was considered convenient transportation in ancient times.
“There’s cement!”
"Fortunately it's Daqin!"
Li Rongrong heaved a sigh of relief and was no longer in a hurry. She walked down the mountain along the official road.
An hour later, when Li Rongrong's legs were getting weak from walking, she finally saw traces of someone ahead.
An old man was standing on the ridge of the field, operating an ancient waterwheel, lifting water from low places to high places, irrigating the green rice fields.
The waterwheel was made of wood. Although its structure was simple, it cleverly utilized the potential energy of water.
It seems that the barrel cart has spread throughout Daqin, and the effect is very good.
Li Rongrong was delighted and quickly walked forward, asking politely, "Hello, uncle! Where is this place? I accidentally got lost. Can you tell me how to get to the nearest town or village?"
