"Do you think I can't see what you're planning?" Yu Ziqi said coldly.
Liu Ji seemed terrified, knelt down on the ground, and said repeatedly, "The villain is just willing to serve His Royal Highness."
"Come with me!"
Liu Ji was overjoyed, caught up with Yu Ziqi, and went to the Prince's Mansion with Yu Ziqi.
Inside the Prince's Mansion.
Yu Ziqi brought Liu Ji to Zhao Sheng.
Zhao Sheng noticed Liu Ji beside Yu Ziqi, couldn't help raising his eyebrows, and looked at Yu Ziqi in front of him in puzzlement.
I saw that Yu Ziqi bowed and saluted, "This person's name is Liu Ji, and I want to see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
Zhao Sheng figured out the reason, Yu Ziqi's character doesn't look like he would be encouraged by others.
So, Zhao Sheng set his sights on Liu Ji.
Liu Ji looked at Zhao Sheng very respectfully, the young Crown Prince in front of him, Liu Ji did not expect that His Royal Highness had also recently become famous, and at such a young age, he has done so many great things.
Liu Ji also dared not underestimate Zhao Sheng in front of him.
"The villain is from Pei County, and he is from the same place as Shaofu Xiao He!"
The meaning in Liu Ji's words is to point out the relationship between himself and Xiao He.
He even wanted to use Xiao He's fame to find a good job for himself.
I saw that Zhao Sheng looked at Liu Ji with some amusement in his eyes, as if he was saying, watch your performance.
"Are you friends with Xiao He?" Zhao Sheng asked with a chuckle.
Liu Ji nodded again and again.
"What are you looking for me for?"
"His Royal Highness, the villain suggests that a person in charge should be selected from this group of labor!" Liu Ji pretended to be a superior person in order to be favored by His Royal Highness.
However, Zhao Sheng continued to ask with playful eyes, "Why?"
"This move will facilitate the management of the Great Qin caravan and travel!" Liu Ji racked his brains and could only come up with these few words.
After all, from the very beginning, Liu Ji wanted to use Xiao He's name to become a regular guest in the prince's residence.
Zhao Sheng's expression gradually became serious, and he said coldly, "Could it be that you think that these hundred laborers will not obey the orders of Daqin officials?"
Seeing the change in Zhao Sheng's expression, Liu Ji became extremely flustered, and said repeatedly, "How dare you!"
"Could it be that you think the officials of Daqin can't control these hundreds of people?"
"Could it be that you think the Daqin officials are inferior to you?"
Zhao Sheng's momentum suddenly increased.
Liu Ji lowered his head very cautiously, for some reason, he actually angered His Highness the Crown Prince, Liu Ji seemed to feel that His Highness the Crown Prince's gaze was pressing on him like a mountain.
Cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
"Don't dare, dare not..." Liu Ji repeatedly waved his hands.
"Since you don't dare, back down quickly!" Zhao Sheng scolded angrily.
Liu Ji panicked and fled in a hurry, fearing that if he stayed for a while longer, he would completely anger His Royal Highness, and even lead to murder.
Yu Ziqi looked at Zhao Sheng with an apologetic face, "I have neglected my duty..."
Chapter 136 Cancellation of Corvée
Yu Ziqi had a guilty look on his face, after all Liu Ji brought it here by himself.
Zhao Sheng was displeased, and Yu Ziqi had something to do with it.
Seeing this, Zhao Sheng waved his hands nonchalantly and said, "Don't blame yourself!"
"It's been a long time since you practiced swords with me!" Zhao Sheng said.
Yu Ziqi nodded, and took out the sword specially for Zhao Sheng.
……
Jiuyuan County is located near the Great Wall.
A figure appeared in the barracks tent.
This person is Han Sheng.
After Han Sheng received the order from His Royal Highness, he rushed to Jiuyuan County without stopping.
This will be the first step in his abolition of corvee.
The Great Wall occupies the largest number of corvees in the Great Qin Dynasty, nearly hundreds of thousands.
The first task is the corvee service on the Great Wall.
Han Sheng was stopped by soldiers.
Seeing that, Han Sheng took out the token and said loudly, "I was sent here by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, step aside quickly, and take me to see General Meng Tian!"
The Jiuyuan iron cavalry who stopped Han Sheng immediately went to inform General Meng Tian after confirming the token.
After Meng Tian heard the news, he ordered Jiuyuan cavalry to invite Han Sheng to the tent.
Han Sheng appeared in the tent, and at a glance he noticed Meng Tian, whose aura was different from that of ordinary Jiuyuan cavalry.
Han Sheng saluted Meng Tian respectfully.
Meng Tian asked Han Sheng, "What is the purpose of His Royal Highness sending you here?"
Facing the many generals in the account, Han Sheng not only did not retreat timidly, but said loudly, "Liberate the corvees on the Great Wall!"
As soon as this remark came out, there was an uproar among the generals in the account.
Even Meng Tian looked suspiciously at Han Sheng, looking at Han Sheng in disbelief, and asked in astonishment, "Could it be that the Great Wall is not being repaired anymore?"
For the defensive function of the Great Wall, Meng Tian guarded Jiuyuan County and Longxi County.
It can be said that he understands the pros and cons of building the Great Wall better than anyone else.
