Li Rongrong felt warm in her heart as she listened to Fusu's words. She knew Fusu's temper. If she didn't let him do this, he would probably be restless.
So she stopped dissuading him, but cherished this delicate care even more, savoring every dish carefully, while also paying attention to Fusu's every move.
The night outside the window deepened, and the number of pedestrians on the street became scarce, but the atmosphere in the hotel became increasingly warm.
The flickering candlelight shone on Li Rongrong's face, adding a soft halo to her.
Fusu sat quietly opposite her, occasionally looking up at her with tenderness in his eyes.
"Fusu, what do you think of the current changes in Daqin?" Li Rongrong suddenly asked. She wanted to know Fusu's opinion on the future development of Daqin.
Upon hearing this, Fusu put down his chopsticks and began to think seriously.
"Rongrong, the question you raised is indeed worth pondering." Fusu spoke slowly, with a hint of calmness and determination in his voice, "The changes in Daqin are indeed changing with each passing day."
He paused and continued, "In terms of agriculture, we have introduced advanced farming techniques and irrigation systems, which have greatly increased food production. The people no longer have to worry about food and clothing."
"Handicrafts and commerce have also developed greatly, especially the popularization of paper, which has greatly promoted the spread of culture and the accumulation of knowledge. These changes are all caused by the new ideas and technologies you brought."
...
...
As Li Rongrong listened to Fusu's story, a warm feeling welled up in her heart.
She knew that all these changes were inseparable from their joint efforts and Fusu's trust and support for her.
She smiled slightly and said, "Fusu, these are the results of our joint efforts."
"But I also know that the Qin Dynasty still has many problems. Just like the incident with Zhao Tuo this time, officials and nobles like Zhao Tuo are too powerful, and the rights and interests of the common people are often not guaranteed."
Thinking of Zhang Yiyi and her brother, she couldn't help but complain about Daqin's infrastructure.
"Also, the lack of education and medical resources is an important factor restricting Daqin's development."
Upon hearing this, Fusu nodded in agreement.
He had encountered many such things before, but there were too many things and there were obstacles so nothing developed.
He said: "Rongrong, you are right. Daqin is indeed facing many problems now."
Li Rongrong looked at Fusu's determined eyes and her heart was filled with confidence.
She knew that Fusu was a man with great ambitions and firm beliefs.
After thinking for a while, Li Rongrong said softly: "Fusu, I have an idea. Can we open schools and hospitals to improve the cultural quality and health level of the people?"
"This will not only improve the quality of life of the people, but also cultivate more talents for the development of Daqin."
Fusu heard this and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. He said, "Rongrong, your idea is very good! Opening schools and hospitals is indeed what Daqin urgently needs to do now. However, many people do not want this, especially the aristocratic forces, who are likely to oppose such reforms."
Li Rongrong smiled slightly and said, "Fusu, don't worry. I have thought of a way. We can use the nobles' desire for land and population to promote this reform."
Fusu frowned slightly when he heard this, and seemed a little puzzled. Li Rongrong continued, "The reason why the nobles oppose universal education is because they are worried that once the people become smarter, they will no longer be enslaved by them."
"But if we can expand outward and provide the nobles with more land and population, they will most likely support this reform."
Fusu's eyes lit up when he heard this, and then he slowly said, "I have wanted to do this for a long time, but the nobles in Daqin are still too stubborn. Even with my father's pressure, it is still too difficult to implement it."
"I have a way, but we have to take over that bug-like island first." Li Rongrong thought of a way that would drive all the nobles crazy.
That is outward expansion.
What the nobles lack most are land and people.
Aren't the nobles opposed to universal education because they were afraid of not having enough ignorant people to enslave? But once the outward expansion began, there would be no such worry for the time being.
Use the pie of Qin's outward expansion to hang others on, just like what Qin did before.
Only by unifying the six kingdoms as a big plan and with the whole nation united, the Qin Dynasty could unify the country.
What we need to do now is to unify the world. Although this will only temporarily resolve the conflict between the nobles and the common people, the current Qin Dynasty is completely different from the past, and it is changing every day.
As long as we take it slow, those nobles will find that after the unification of the world, their rights have been unknowingly restricted.
Li Rongrong shared her thoughts with Fusu.
He said: "Rongrong, your idea is very good! Outward expansion can not only solve the nobles' desire for land and population, but also open up a new path for the development of Daqin."
"Moreover, during the expansion process, we can also spread the culture and system of Daqin, so that more people can understand and accept us."
Li Rongrong nodded and said, "That's right. Moreover, we can also use this opportunity of expansion to strengthen the military strength of Daqin. Only with a strong military strength can we protect our country and people from foreign invasion."
Fusu heard this and expressed his agreement.
He smiled and said, "Rongrong, you are right. Military strength is an important guarantee for national security. We can use this opportunity of expansion to strengthen Daqin's military construction and improve the combat effectiveness of the army."
The two smiled at each other, and Fusu suddenly remembered something and pulled Li Rongrong out.
"Rongrong, come with me."
Fusu brought Li Rongrong to a secret harbor.
This was what he brought from Xianyang City. This time he came out not just to drive the steam car.
At the edge of the harbor, several huge ships are quietly moored, forming a sharp contrast with the surrounding quaint ships, exuding an atmosphere of a mixture of future and antiquity.
These are exactly the steam ships that Fusu mentioned. They are the crystallization of the latest technology of the Qin Dynasty and are also powerful tools for conquering the ocean and expanding territory in the future.
"Rongrong, look!" Fusu pointed ahead excitedly, his eyes flashing with pride.
Li Rongrong looked in the direction where his finger pointed and saw a huge steam ship slowly starting up. Wisps of white smoke came out of the huge chimney, accompanied by the low and rhythmic roar of the steam engine. The ship slowly sailed away from the dock, like a giant beast about to awaken, full of power and majesty.
