Chapter 80: Three Days on and Four Days off



Seeing this, Qin Shi Huang decided: "In this case, the task of rebuilding the Qin Straight Road will be undertaken by Xu Taifu, Liu Shaofu will assist, and Fusu will be the general supervisor."

Prince Fusu was also relieved. Rongrong said that if you want to be rich, you must first build roads. He thought it made sense, so he put it in the first step of the plan.

He was able to conquer the Qin Kingdom because the Qin Straight Road was faster than that of the other six countries, so he could transport food and pass on information without delaying the opportunity to fight.

After deciding on the first task, Qin Shi Huang started the second task. "Zhili Neishi, is it possible to complete this agricultural plan?"

Internal Secretary Zhili said excitedly: "Your Majesty, if the plan proposed by Prince Fusu in his plan to adapt to local conditions, greenhouse planting and high-yield planting can really be achieved, Daqin will definitely be able to produce hundreds of millions of hectares of grain in a year!"

When these words were spoken, all the ministers were extremely shocked.

Billions of hectares of grain, this is the amount that the Qin Dynasty could only produce in ten years.

Nei Shi Zhili has never been a person who speaks without thinking.

He would remember clearly if even a grain of corn was missing.

His calculations were never wrong.

...

...

"In this case, you will coordinate with Fusu to handle this matter." Qin Shihuang immediately issued an edict.

"Your Majesty, one of the items in Prince Fusu's plan is to open an official textile factory. But after calculation, I found that there are six million men in my Great Qin who can engage in agricultural production.

"Two million people are farming, three million are serving in the army, and the remaining one million are doing a lot of construction projects. There is really no population left to open factories."

Yu Shaofu, who had been calculating for a long time, suddenly stood up and raised a question.

Qin Shi Huang frowned and fell into deep thought.

Officials now have their own opinions.

"Prince Fusu's plan is very detailed in every step, but it seems there are problems." The person who said this was a Qin Dynasty nobleman.

They don't want all the labor force to do other work. If that happens, there will be no one to farm the land, and what will the nobles collect?

"That seems to be the case," said another official of noble birth.

The officials began to whisper and discuss among themselves again, with expressions of suspicion and questioning on their faces.

Some people even frowned and expressed concerns about the feasibility of the plan.

However, although everyone around him expressed disapproval, Prince Fusu was not affected by their discussion.

He stood straight, his posture upright, like a sturdy pine tree, showing a calm and confident temperament. His eyes were firmly fixed on the front, seemingly completely unaffected by the outside world, like an unshakable mountain.

This issue is indeed crucial. Daqin is not only short of food but also short of people.

People are the labor force, but Daqin is currently short of this labor force.

However, he already had an idea about this.

When they had almost finished discussing, Qin Shi Huang asked, "Fusu, do you have any ideas?"

"Father, Fusu has his own way. Since we are opening a textile factory, it is natural for women to go to work."

He then added: "And these women work in shifts, working three days and resting four days. This way there won't be any delays."

"This..." After this explanation, those who originally wanted to refute didn't know how to refute.

There were many female households in Daqin, and capable women could work to support their families, but there were no such collective factories.

"Do you have any opinions, gentlemen?" Qin Shihuang asked, but his eyes swept coldly across the crowd below.

The officials who were caught in his gaze were all trembling with fear, fearing that they would be noticed by His Majesty.

You know, His Majesty is not a pushover.

"Then this matter is settled. When you return, take a good look at the Great Qin Development Plan and submit a memorial to me. I want to see if you have made any progress in your years as officials."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Li Si answered first without looking away.

Then the officials all responded.

Chunyu Yue, who was just an old man, watched again and again.

I didn't expect that after so many years of lecturing, he would be examined on policy essays by His Majesty at such an old age.

It's really unpredictable.

The decision to build roads, plant crops and open factories was thus made.

His Majesty's orders were final and no one dared to stop him.

As soon as the court was over, Prince Fusu rushed back to his residence without stopping.

After bathing and changing clothes, she put on white underwear, dried her hair which was still dripping with water, and went straight to the table to sit down. She also took out the mirror which she had sealed up because of her haste during the past few days.

He tapped the mirror with his bent fingers, waiting for a response.

At this time, Li Rongrong had just finished listening to the financial report. The business of the scenic spot has been getting better and better these days. There are 100,000 people visiting a day, and a ticket is 50. The daily income is about 5 million.

That travel variety show has been very popular recently and has earned more than 50 million in the past ten days.

Thinking of the money rolling in, the corners of my mouth couldn't be suppressed.

Just as she was lying in bed checking the balance, the mirror, which had been silent for the past few days, finally moved.

"Rongrong."

Fusu's voice came from the other side.

She sat up all of a sudden, moved closer to the mirror, and said with joy, "Fusu! You finally contacted me. I was worried that something had happened to you."

The man in the mirror smiled slightly and said softly: "I'm sorry to have made you worry. We have been marching hard these days and have not set up camp to rest."

Li Rongrong looked at him distressedly and said softly, "It's okay. You've been riding on horseback for so many days. Did you just arrive in Xianyang City today?"

As she spoke, her fingers tapped lightly on the screen of her phone.

Prince Fusu nodded and replied, "Well, I just came back yesterday and went to discuss things with my father, so I had time to contact you."

Then, he shared with her seriously, "By the way, Rongrong, the Daqin development plan we wrote together was adopted."

"That's great. The plan I wrote those days was finally not in vain!" When she was chatting with Fusu some time ago, she happened to see him writing a strategy paper for the development of the Qin Dynasty.

She immediately became interested. Although she couldn't write ancient policy papers, as a former top university student, she was familiar with essays and business plans.

Therefore, there was the Great Qin Development Plan that shocked everyone in the court today.

"In the court today, my father has decided to build a cement road, and also to set up a plantation, a breeding farm, and a textile factory."

"That's great! Let's solve the problems of food, accommodation and transportation first, so that we can develop better in the future." Li Rongrong couldn't help but become excited.

"Believe me, Daqin will surely dominate the world!" She said as she made a cheering gesture with her hand.

Although Fusu couldn't see her movements, he could tell her happiness just from his voice.

The corners of my mouth couldn't help but curl up.
