Prince Fusu smiled and waved to the female workers, and then, accompanied by the factory director, he began to carefully inspect the factory's production situation. He walked along the assembly line, stopped from time to time, and asked about the work of the female workers and the operation of the machines.
"Where was this machine introduced from?" Prince Fusu asked curiously, pointing to an advanced textile machine.
"Sir, this is the latest textile machine imported from a neighboring country. It has the advantages of high efficiency, energy saving, and environmental protection." The factory manager replied respectfully, "We have arranged professional training for the female workers to ensure that they can operate this machine proficiently."
Prince Fusu nodded, expressing his appreciation for the director's arrangement. He continued walking forward, came to a busy female worker, and talked to her cordially.
"How long have you been working here? How do you feel?" Prince Fusu asked gently.
"Sir, I have been working here for half a year. Since we adopted the automated assembly line, our work efficiency has been greatly improved and our income has also increased a lot." The female worker's face was filled with a happy smile. "Now, I can not only support myself, but also subsidize the family. Thank you so much, Sir!"
After hearing this, Prince Fusu felt a warm current in his heart. He knew very well that these female workers worked hard for a living, and their hard work deserved respect and praise.
"You are the pride of Daqin!" Prince Fusu said affectionately, "Your hard work and dedication have not only created a good life for yourselves, but also contributed to the prosperity of Daqin. Please believe that I will continue to work hard to create a better working environment and conditions for you."
After hearing this, the female workers nodded their heads in gratitude. They knew that Prince Fusu was a good prince who cared about the people and loved the people. His efforts and dedication gave them hope and a future.
After inspecting the women's textile factory, Prince Fusu went to inspect other reform project sites.
...
...
Seeing the thriving projects, he planned to take a walk, but unexpectedly he arrived in front of the Afang Palace.
At this time, the Afang Palace was still under construction.
Prince Fusu stopped in front of the Afang Palace, looking at the magnificent building that had not yet been completed, with mixed emotions in his heart. The sunlight shone on the huge stone steps, reflecting a dazzling light, as if foreshadowing the future glory of the Qin Dynasty.
He walked slowly into the ruins of the palace, with broken bricks and tiles under his feet. All around him were busy craftsmen who were carrying stones or carving wooden pillars. Everyone was immersed in his or her work, their clothes soaked with sweat, but no one stopped.
Prince Fusu walked up to a craftsman who was carving and asked softly, "Master, how long have you been working here? How is the construction of the Afang Palace going?"
The craftsman looked up and saw that it was Prince Fusu. He quickly put down the carving knife in his hand and replied respectfully: "My lord, I have been working here for more than a year. The construction of the Afang Palace is progressing smoothly. Although the project is huge, everyone is working together to complete it as soon as possible."
Prince Fusu smiled and nodded. He looked at the focused eyes of the craftsmen and felt their determination and pride. He understood that these craftsmen were not only building a palace, but also contributing to the future of the Qin Dynasty.
He continued to walk around the Afang Palace, feeling its majesty and grandeur. Although it had not yet been fully built, he could already imagine its glorious scene after completion.
Suddenly, a breeze blew, and Prince Fusu's clothes fluttered gently. He looked up into the distance, and an inexplicable feeling welled up in his heart. He knew that as a prince of the Qin Dynasty, he shouldered a heavy responsibility and mission. He wanted to seek welfare for the people, create prosperity for the country, and let the flag of the Qin Dynasty fly forever in the east of the world.
Thinking of this, Prince Fusu became more determined and heroic. He turned to the guards around him and said, "Let's go and continue to inspect other places."
The guards responded and followed Prince Fusu's footsteps and continued forward.
…
At the same time, the atmosphere in the court was heavy and tense. A minister stood up, his voice filled with anxiety and uneasiness: "Your Majesty, I have something important to report. Recently, some rumors that are not conducive to the government have been circulating, saying that Prince Fusu and Qi Xi are secretly colluding to eliminate your Majesty's enemies and plotting something bad."
As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar in the court. The ministers looked at each other, some with doubts on their faces, while others secretly tried to figure out the deeper meaning of the words.
Qin Shi Huang sat on the high dragon throne, his eyes were like torches, scanning the ministers below. There was no ripple on his face, as if he had seen through everything. He did not immediately express his opinion on such a report, but remained silent for a moment, as if thinking about something.
"Oh? Is this true?" Qin Shi Huang's voice was deep and powerful, breaking the silence in the court. "Fusu and Qi Xi are colluding?"
The minister who reported the incident was relieved to see that the Emperor did not get angry immediately, but he still insisted: "Your Majesty, everything I said is true. Although there is no clear evidence, I have been secretly investigating for a long time and found that there is indeed an unusual relationship between the two of them."
Qin Shi Huang nodded slightly, signaling the minister to continue. However, he had his own judgment in his heart.
"I already know about this matter. You can withdraw and continue to investigate secretly." Qin Shihuang's voice was calm and firm. "I will personally inquire about this matter and will never let anyone endanger the country and people of my Great Qin."
The minister heard this, although he was unwilling, he could only withdraw respectfully. He knew that no one could change Qin Shihuang's decision.
The court returned to calm again, but ripples appeared in the hearts of the ministers.
Just as the turmoil in the court was surging, Prince Fusu was traveling to every corner of the Qin Dynasty with his guards, his heart full of thoughts about the future.
When Prince Fusu finished his one-day inspection and was about to return to the palace, a group of guards in black suddenly appeared in front of him. They had stern faces and held weapons, and it was obvious that they were not here with good intentions.
"Prince Fusu, the emperor has ordered that you come with us." A head guard stepped forward, his tone filled with unquestionable majesty.
Prince Fusu was startled. He knew that there must be something behind this sudden change. But he did not show any panic. Instead, he asked calmly, "Oh? What is your majesty's will? Can you tell me something?"
The head guard shook his head and said firmly: "Sir, you should come with us. You will understand when we get there."
Prince Fusu sighed helplessly, he knew that it was useless to argue at this time.
He signaled to the guards around him not to act rashly, and he followed the team of black-clad guards.
