"My Lords, let's make preparations first. The year is coming to an end and nothing can go wrong." An experienced official stepped forward to mediate, his voice sounding steady and calm.

At this moment, an official with graying hair and beard, standing straight, slowly walked into the court.

His expression was filled with the noble and proud character of a scholar: "My Lords, why are you so flustered? Your Majesty has already made up his mind about Prince Fusu's return to the capital. We only need to follow your Majesty's orders and we will be safe."

This person was Chunyu Yi. As soon as his words came out, they immediately caused an uproar in the court.

The official who looked like a Confucian scholar nodded and agreed, "Master Chun is right. Prince Fusu is kind and generous, and is a blessing to the Qin Dynasty."

After he finished speaking, everyone turned to look at Prime Minister Li Si. Legalists and Confucianists had always been at odds, and if Chunyu Yue spoke, the Prime Minister would definitely refute him.

But they waited for a long time and Li Si didn't speak.

Suddenly, there was a sound of heavy footsteps outside the hall. All the officials looked sideways and saw a team of Black Ice Guards dressed in black and holding spears walking into the hall in an orderly manner.

They had solemn expressions and determined gazes, as if every inch of their skin exuded inviolable majesty.

Surrounded by the Black Ice Guards, Qin Shi Huang walked out slowly.

...

...

He was dressed in a dark black dragon robe and a crown on his head. His steps were steady and powerful. Every step seemed to step on the heartstrings of all officials, making people feel awe.

Qin Shihuang's face was majestic and deep, and his eyes revealed a kind of domineering attitude that looked down on the world.

He slowly walked to the top, stopped, and scanned the entire room, as if he wanted to take in the expressions of every official.

All the officials lowered their heads, not daring to look directly at the supreme emperor.

As the announcement of the start of court was made, officials bowed one after another.

Qin Shi Huang nodded slightly, as a response to the respect of all the officials. He sat down slowly, and his eyes once again scanned the entire room, finally stopping at Prince Fusu who was standing in the front row of all the officials.

There was a glimmer of satisfaction and relief in his eyes.

"Fusu." Qin Shihuang's voice rang out again, breaking the silence of the hall.

Upon hearing this, Fusu immediately walked out from among the officials, knelt down at the steps in front of the palace, and replied respectfully, "I am here."

Qin Shi Huang looked at Fusu kneeling in front of him, and said with a hint of appreciation and encouragement: "You not only supervised the construction of the Great Wall yourself, but also set an example by sharing the joys and sorrows with the soldiers. I am very pleased that you can share my worries with such dedication and effort."

When Prince Fusu heard this, a warm feeling surged in his heart.

This was the first time in such a long time that he was praised publicly at the morning court.

"I have only done my part. The construction of the Great Wall could not have been possible without your Majesty's wise decisions and the bravery of the soldiers. I was fortunate enough to be involved and contribute to the stability and prosperity of the Qin Dynasty."

Upon hearing this, Qin Shihuang showed a satisfied smile on his face.

He continued, "I am very pleased that you are so humble and polite. However, I have seen your contributions."

"Not only did you build the Great Wall, but you also fought back the Xiongnu with General Meng Tian. You also reclaimed fertile land and planted crops in the border areas... I will never forget these achievements."

Naturally, Qin Shihuang said this to all the officials, which was regarded as an affirmation of Fusu's achievements.

Unexpectedly, Fusu bowed his head again and replied respectfully: "Thank you for your praise, father. I can't do this without the help of the immortals. I petition to build a temple for the immortals throughout the Qin Dynasty."

"It is right to build temples for the immortals who protect the Qin Dynasty. However, it is not possible to build temples throughout the Qin Dynasty based solely on the achievements of the frontiers." Qin Shihuang unexpectedly refused.

At this time, Li Si, who had been silent, stood up and said, "Building temples throughout the country will not convince the people. It is better to communicate with the immortals and ask them to bless the whole Qin."

"The Prime Minister is right. Let Fusu handle this matter."

"Speaking of this, I have something else to report." When it came to business, Fusu straightened his back and took out a thick plan book from his sleeve.

"This is the Great Qin Development Plan I wrote."

Although my father had already seen it, I still had to do the necessary superficial work.

Qin Shi Huang also cooperated, looking very interested, "Present it."

The eunuch standing by was very perceptive and distributed to the ministers the box of plans that Prince Fusu had brought before the morning court session.

"This... this plan is so amazing!"

"This is impossible! This... this..."

Those who originally had some disdain in their hearts became more and more shocked and unbelievable the more they watched.

"Build roads, plant crops, raise livestock, and open official textile factories..."

"Can the Qin Dynasty really ensure that no one picks up lost items on the road, that doors are left unlocked at night, that there are millions of acres of grain, and that widows, widowers, and orphans are all provided for?"

This is the idea of ​​a great harmonious society!

Those who had listened to Laozi and Zhuangzi’s lectures before were shocked at the effects that could be achieved and secretly marveled in their hearts.

Even those who advocated Legalism did not refute it for the first time. Although there were many Confucian elements in it, they could see at a glance that the core was the Legalist thought.

Officials who were Confucian scholars also saw this.

I didn't expect that Confucianism and Legalism could achieve such harmony.

Fusu looked at the Confucian and Legalist officials who were nodding their heads continuously. It seemed that his method of adapting Confucianism on the outside and Legalism on the inside to suit the Qin Dynasty was correct.

Originally, he just wanted to write a strategy paper for the development of Daqin, but after Rongrong listened to him, she asked him to write a development plan for Daqin.

He wrote in the frontier for several months. During that time, they came out to chat every night and wrote the plan together.

Whenever he didn't understand something, Rongrong would help him solve it.

Thinking of Li Rongrong, Master Fusu couldn't help but be distracted. In the past few days, for fear of delay, they have been traveling non-stop overnight, and the two have not been in touch for several days.

Fortunately, no one noticed that he was distracted for a long time, because the only sounds in the court now were exclamations and the sound of flipping books.

This thick plan book first lists the problems that Daqin is currently facing, and then divides these problems into chapters and time periods to solve them.

What to do at each step, how to do it, and what expected results can be achieved are all clearly written.

Anyone who can read can understand it, not to mention the officials in the court, each of them is a shrewd man.

The old Qin people, who had never seen a business plan, were conquered by a thick Daqin development plan.

Qin Shi Huang saw that they had almost finished their work, so he asked, "Xu Taifu, how long will it take to rebuild the Qin Straight Road with cement?"

The Imperial Household, one of the Nine Ministers, immediately stepped forward and replied, "As for building roads with cement, we have experience in building the Great Wall, so it's easy to do. It will only take half a year at most."
