Chapter 641: Exploding mountains to build roads
When everyone heard this, their eyes lit up.
"Prince, we must share a piece of the pie." The South Vietnamese leader said, "We are all loyal to the Qin Dynasty."
"Yes." The leader of Xiyue said, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince must help us. We in Xiyue are very poor."
"What? Is Xiyue poor? We in Baiyue are all poor." The leader of Wuyue said.
"Yes, yes, they are all poor." The leader of Xiyue said immediately. .
Everyone began to cry for poverty at every word. Even the leader of Western Vietnam, who had a grudge against Da Qin, began to cry for poverty.
There is no way, since Fusu brought business, their major tribes began to become rich.
The first thing is food. The food types provided by the imperial court are much better than their own food types. There are two or even three seasons of rice a year.
Every time, they can produce more than 500 kilograms per mu, and they have more than 1,000 kilograms of grain in a year. Together with potatoes, corn and sweet potatoes, they can't finish the food.
Ouyue initially opposed the imperial court's help, but in the end Zhang Liang used food and told them that they were the last tribe to accept the imperial court's help.
Let me tell you something about how they will be looked down upon by other tribes, even bullied, etc. if they fall behind.
In the end, the leaders of Ouyue were convinced. They accepted the imperial court's help and at the same time accepted the imperial court's jurisdiction, even though secretly they were still doing anti-Qin things.
Fusu knew about this, but he did not encircle and suppress the anti-Qin forces in Ouyuedu, but only had people monitor their every move.
As long as you don't do anything that harms the people or the Qin Dynasty, then let everything go.
Fusu always insisted that as long as he persisted in benevolent governance, the people would eventually put aside their hatred and work hard for the Qin Dynasty.
It took Fusu a year to prove that his policy was very feasible. The fact that the top ten leaders of Baiyue are willing to come is the best proof.
Now that they offer a little business, everyone starts rushing to do business with them. Even the leader of Ouyue is the same.
After Fusu waited for them to cry about their poverty for a while, he said, "Okay, I know that none of you are very rich now, but the resources in each place are different, so the direction of cooperation with you is also different.
What’s more important is the roads. Access to some places is inconvenient, and even if there are very good resources, they cannot be sent out.
Therefore, for the main business this time, I decided to cooperate with the three tribes of Wuyue, Minyue, and Nanyue. Other tribes can only wait temporarily. "
When everyone heard this, they all showed disappointment.
Although it is not that there are no roads in each tribe, it is just that this road cannot be compared with the newly built roads. Especially one afternoon, those roads were impossible to walk on.
"Don't worry, you can build this road by yourself. I am willing to give the cement workshop formula to each of your leaders." Fusu said.
"Prince?" Zhang Liang and others were startled and looked at Fusu.
Fusu stretched out his hand to interrupt Zhang Liang and the others, and continued: "This cement formula belongs to the imperial master. Therefore, this workshop is under the management of the imperial court. You can use it, but you cannot sell it to anyone.
The court can give it to you for free. The purpose of the cement workshop is to build houses besides building roads.
Regarding the house, there are specialized craftsmen here in Guangzhou City, and each of your tribes can send people to learn from them. "
After hearing this, everyone saw hope again. Although they did not have the ability to blow up mountains, they could just renovate the original roads. As long as they had cement, they could build the roads themselves.
As for selling cement to the outside world, there is no problem at all. If you don’t have enough for yourself, how can you sell it to the outside world? What’s more, every tribe has a formula, so who will buy their cement.
"Thank you, Your Highness." The remaining seven leaders stood up to express their gratitude.
This is the compensation Fusu gave them.
Fusu waved his hand for everyone to sit down, and then said: "Guangzhou City is a new city, and there are no cities elsewhere. In other words, you are already building cities, but the scale is not so large."
"Your Highness, please don't get me wrong." The leader of Wuyue said, "Our land of Wuyue already had cities during the Wu and Yue periods.
As for other tribes, they did not have any cities, but they built cities because they wanted to learn from the prince. "
Fusu smiled and said, "It's okay. I don't mean to blame you. I just want to tell you that the city wall is no longer useful. When you build the city, you can tear down the city wall."
"Your Highness, this is different from what we agreed before." Xiao He said.
Zhang Liang then said: "Without the city wall, wouldn't the enemy be able to attack the city immediately?"
Liu Bang frowned slightly and said, "Your Highness, your decision is a bit risky."
Xiang Yu sneered and said, "With me, Xiang Yu, whoever dares to attack us, I will make it impossible for them to come back."
The ten leaders broke out in cold sweat. What was the use of coming to a city without walls?
Rather than wasting so much manpower and material resources, it would be better to remain the same as before.
Fusu waved his hand and said, "Don't be nervous, everyone. I know why you think this way, but after you see the mountain explosion, you will know why I said this.
In the face of gunpowder, a mountain can explode, let alone a mere city wall.
At first, my husband refused to hand over weapons like gunpowder to the imperial court because of its great power.
Xiang Yu, how many do you think you can fight by yourself? "
"A hundred people have no problem." Xiang Yu said proudly.
The ten leaders all looked at Xiang Yu, but none of them thought he was bragging. Many of them had been beaten by his troops, and they had even seen Xiang Yu fight a crocodile with his bare hands and beat the crocodile to death.
"Xiang Yu, you are indeed a strong general. I am very happy that Da Qin has such a strong general like you." Fusu said. "However, when it comes to hand-to-hand combat, Xiang Yu, you are unbeatable.
But in front of gunpowder, you are no different from a child, not just you, but everyone.
A pound of gunpowder can blow a cow into pieces, leaving no trace of its body intact.
Okay, I won’t say much more, now I will take you to see the place where the mountain is exploded.
At the same time, let you see the power of gunpowder.
As for the things mentioned before, you can register with Xiao He later. "
Then Fusu stood up and walked out.
Xiao He and others stood up and followed Fu Su out.
Followed by the ten leaders, they looked at each other for a while and then came outside together.
Fusu said, "Let's go outside the city."
Then everyone followed Fusu and left Guangzhou City.
After running for about half an hour, they came to a mountain. There was a group of soldiers at the foot of the mountain. They were all wearing black armor.
"Black Dragon Guard." Xiang Yu said solemnly.
The expressions of the top ten leaders changed, and Liu Bang and the others were also very shocked.
They were the strongest army in the Qin Dynasty, protecting the First Emperor's army.
