However, Fusu has always been kind, of noble character, and filial, so he would never take such a miraculous thing on himself.
He gathered himself together and said in a loud voice, "Commendations, please stand up!"
His voice was clear and had a soothing power, which could be heard clearly in the noisy camp.
The kneeling soldiers hesitated and looked up at the young master whom they revered as a god.
Fusu raised his hand slightly, motioning everyone to stand up, and then spoke again, his voice full of solemnity and seriousness:
"This vision is not Fusu's own doing, but a blessing from Heaven. He is grateful for the benevolent rule of His Majesty the Emperor and knows the hard work of the soldiers at the border, so he has bestowed blessings upon them!"
"Fusu, I am merely following the will of Heaven and acting on behalf of my father!"
With these words, he not only explained the source of the supplies, attributing it to heaven's will and the merits of the First Emperor, but also cleverly positioned himself as the executor, without taking any credit for himself.
The soldiers were even more shocked when they heard this!
It turns out that these mountains of "divine objects" were given to the First Emperor by God and then brought to them by the prince?
For a moment, shouts of "Your Majesty is wise!" and "God bless the Qin!" rang out again, even more fanatical than before!
The look he showed towards Fusu was not only filled with awe, but also with a sense of closeness - the prince was not only of noble status, but also cared about them, the lowly soldiers!
Looking at the passionate scene, Fusu felt a little relieved.
He knew that words alone were not enough, and that he had to come up with something practical to truly calm people's hearts and rally morale.
He turned around and instructed the few relatively calm followers around him, "Go, open those boxes of candy and fruit and distribute them! Everyone present today, whether soldiers, craftsmen, or laborers, will get a share!"
"promise!"
The attendants responded and hurried forward. With the assistance of several officers, they carefully opened several cardboard boxes with brightly printed patterns.
“Crash—”
Colorful, beautifully wrapped candies rolled out, emitting an enticing sweet fragrance.
There was another box containing red, round apples and golden bananas with strange curves - the colors and shapes of these fruits were something they had never seen before!
"Is this... a magical object?"
“It smells so good!”
"Why does the fruit look like this?"
There were bursts of exclamations and sounds of swallowing saliva from the crowd.
Soon, under the organization of the officers, candies and fruits were distributed.
Everyone was given a small piece of candy wrapped in beautiful candy paper and a small piece of cut fruit.
The quantity is indeed not much, just enough to make your mouth sweet.
But even so, when the strangely sweet taste melted in their mouths, many soldiers' eyes lit up!
Even some veterans had their eyes slightly red after tasting it.
In this harsh frontier, there are only corn and wild vegetables all year round, and occasionally eating some fishy dried meat is considered an improvement in the food.
Such pure, pleasant sweetness is a luxury they could never even dream of!
Everyone tasted it cautiously, and the atmosphere was a little quiet for a moment, with only the sound of satisfied chewing and suppressed breathing.
At this moment, a young soldier with a childish face seemed to be intoxicated by the sweetness, or perhaps he really mustered up the courage.
He boldly raised his voice and asked, "Master! May I ask you, Master! This, this sweet thing...will we be able to eat it again in the future?"
His voice was trembling with longing.
Everyone's attention instantly focused on Fusu again.
Fusu did not answer immediately.
He looked at the soldier gently, then slowly swept his gaze across the entire room, taking in the mixed expressions of anticipation, uneasiness, and desire on all the soldiers' faces.
He paused for a moment before speaking in a deep voice, "These sweet treats are all gifts from the immortals in gratitude for your Majesty's kindness. They belong to you, Your Majesty."
"Today, I am distributing this to you all because of your Majesty's sympathy for your bravery in defending the border and your contributions to the country."
He changed the subject and his tone became passionate:
"You all need only remember to be loyal to His Majesty and to the Great Qin! As long as the Great Qin's reign lasts and its borders are secure, Your Majesty will be wise and prudent, so why would he be so stingy with his rewards?"
"In the future, even if it's not just sweets like these, it won't be difficult for us to have meat every meal, let alone a full meal!"
These words were like a spark thrown into boiling oil, instantly igniting everyone's heart!
"Buzz—"
The discussion suddenly broke out, louder than ever before!
"Did you hear that? The Master said that we can have enough food to eat in the future! We can even eat meat!"
"Is this real? This isn't a dream, is it?"
"Loyal to His Majesty! Loyal to the Great Qin! My life belongs to His Majesty!"
hope!
Unprecedented hope spread like wildfire in the hearts of every soldier!
Fusu struck while the iron was hot and raised his voice again: "Great Qin, we are grateful for the blood, sweat, and dedication of all our soldiers! Fusu makes this promise - from now on, everyone will be well fed!"
“Eat your fill!”
These four words hit everyone's heart hard!
These days, most people in the world cannot get enough food to eat. How many people join the army just to make a living!
Although the rules in the military camp are strict and the training is difficult, at least there are fixed breakfasts and dinners.
Although the two meals a day were mostly hard-to-swallow corn porridge or brown rice mixed with sand and stones, it was better than being able to only drink thin porridge at home or even not having enough to eat.
Now, Prince Fusu has personally promised that we will be able to eat our fill every meal from now on!
What does that mean?
That was a magical day that they could not even imagine!
For a moment, the morale of the entire military camp reached an unprecedented peak!
The soldiers looked at Fusu with eyes full of fanatical admiration and absolute trust!
It seems that as long as you follow this young master and follow Daqin, good days are just around the corner!
