Chapter 98 The studious little stone



Prince Fusu and Meng Tian estimated the escape route of the foreigners. No one expected that they could actually conquer the entire grassland directly.

The two pointed on the map to where they had advanced north.

Li Rongrong looked at what they were pointing at and took out a world map to compare it.

“Wow!”

“Good fellow!”

"They fought their way from the Hetao Plain to Inner Mongolia in one fell swoop. If they go further north, they will reach the Mongolian Plateau!"

"Daqin has an Inner Mongolia! I was thinking of going there to try to do some mechanized production. Wouldn't that make us rich?"

The scene ended here. Li Rongrong put the mirror away and went out to inspect the scenic area with a big smile on her face.

The employees in the scenic area thought it was an affirmation from their boss and worked even harder.

Who understands? Our boss is gentle and pretty, and always smiles.

...

...

The important thing is that the bonus is real, and compared to the single day off in other scenic spots, they have two days off a week.

The most important thing is that we never work overtime! The overtime bonus starts at 10,000.

While Li Rongrong was leisurely inspecting the scenic area, Prince Fusu had already started to work hard on the subsequent deployment.

Prince Fusu turned to look at Meng Tian again: "General Meng, how should we deploy next?"

Meng Tian pondered for a moment and said, "Although the foreigners have fled in all directions, the surrounding counties still need to strengthen patrols."

"To prevent some escaped foreigners from sneaking into Daqin."

Prince Fusu agreed: "General Meng, you are experienced, so I will leave the battlefield management to you. As for the inspection of the surrounding areas, I will personally lead a group of troops there."

Seeing Prince Fusu's firm attitude, General Meng Tian had no choice but to nod and agree.

So, Prince Fusu led a group of elite soldiers and set out on a journey to inspect the surrounding areas.

They inspected the defense situation of each county along the way, and at the same time promoted the power and virtue of the Qin Dynasty to the local people in order to appease the people.

At this time, the counties were already peaceful and harmonious. The people lived and worked in peace and contentment, the soldiers were on high alert, and the entire county seemed to have a new lease of life.

After finishing all these, Prince Fusu finally had time to deal with the things he had arranged previously.

Before he left, he left Xiao Shitou at the border. On the one hand, Xiao Shitou was young and not suitable for traveling around. On the other hand, he wanted Xiao Shitou to supervise and report on various matters for him.

"By the way, Little Stone, how is Zhang Liang?"

Little Stone, who was reporting, paused for a moment before saying, "I think that... that person is a bit stubborn. For so many days, he only occasionally goes out to the street for a walk. The rest of the time he sits in the house reading."

Although Little Stone was complaining, there was a hint of disappointment in his tone.

Hearing this, Prince Fusu paused as he was about to calculate with his pen, "Speaking of which, Zhang Liang is quite capable. Have you learned anything from following him during this time?"

"No...no, I just occasionally point out my math homework..." Little Shitou was asked the question to the point and immediately became hesitant.

Prince Fusu shook his head and chuckled, "Since you can get guidance, then you can go and ask him. The food and grass will be delivered in the next few days, but we are in urgent need of people who can count."

"Ah? Sir?"

Little Stone was also stunned.

"What's wrong? Do you want to help me share the burden?" Prince Fusu asked in a faint voice, as if he couldn't wait to arrange a job for him in the next second.

"No need, sir! I have only learned to read for more than half a year, how can I calculate such an important thing! I'll go and ask for it in a moment!" Little Shitou pouted, fearing that he would suddenly have a lot more work to do.

After Xiao Shitou reported some more things, he hurried out.

Prince Fusu looked at his energetic figure from behind and nodded with amusement.

"This child is very insightful and has good character. First, he was taught by me, then by General Meng and Zhang Shaofu, who taught him military tactics and martial arts. And now he has the future strategist Zhang Liang."

"The future is really limitless."

The crowd was bustling about, some were laughing and some were making noises, and all of them had God.

Whether they were farmers harvesting, workers building houses, or soldiers who had just defeated the Huns, there was a light in their eyes that had never been seen before.

The light shone into Zhang Liang's heart.

Ever since he made a bet with Prince Fusu last time, he was taken away and arranged in a quiet courtyard.

Although the courtyard is not big, it is elegantly decorated, with green trees and the fragrance of flowers, forming a sharp contrast with the hustle and bustle of the outside world.

At first, Zhang Liang didn't care about all this. His heart was filled with hatred and resentment towards the Qin Dynasty.

However, as time went on, he began to notice the world outside the courtyard.

He looked through the window and saw that the Qin soldiers were well-disciplined and well-trained. Not only were they highly skilled in martial arts, but they were also very friendly to the people.

This is completely different from the image of the Qin Dynasty as a brutal and tyrannical dynasty in his mind.

On the day when the Great Wall was completed, he walked out of the courtyard and heard the continuous cheers outside. That day, he stepped out of the house that had trapped him for a long time for the first time and personally saw the Qin Dynasty that he had always hated.

Zhang Liang changed into ordinary people's clothes and walked on the streets of the border.

He saw the busy market, and the faces of the common people were filled with satisfied and happy smiles. They were buying and selling various commodities, and exchanging the details of life. Everything seemed so harmonious and beautiful...

He continued to explore and came to the edge of the farmland. He saw farmers working hard in the fields, sweating profusely, but with satisfied smiles on their faces.

Zhang Liang noticed that the farmland here was well planned and the irrigation system was very complete, which was obviously the result of careful planning by the Qin government.

In the following days, Zhang Liang began to walk out of the courtyard more frequently to contact the people and soldiers of the Qin Dynasty.

Because of the bet, as long as he doesn't run, no one will stop him.

One day, when Zhang Liang was about to go out, he bumped into Xiao Shitou who was rushing over.

Little Stone strode over with a basket of snacks in his hand, "Sir, I'm here to see you."

These snacks were given to him by Prince Fusu, but he couldn't bear to eat them and kept them.

Zhang Liang, who was stopped, looked at the person who came. He seemed uneasy on the surface, but his subconscious movement of turning sideways to move the small stone into the house still exposed him.

Xiao Shitou was already familiar with his courtyard, but he still bowed politely before walking in.

When leaving, he did not forget to lag behind Zhang Liang by half a step.

"Sir, the young master has returned from Xianyang City, and he has won an unprecedented victory since his return."

As Little Stone spoke, he took snacks out of the basket.
