Chen Ke glanced at Fusu and said slowly: "First of all, why does General Wang Jian want to thank me?"
He smiled: "Fusu, do you know what kind of life those soldiers lived after coming off the battlefield?"
Fusu was a little stunned. He shook his head, his face a little confused.
"Fusu doesn't know"
Chen Ke glanced at the sky above the sky, then looked at Fusu and said: "It's still early, let's go."
"Let me show you the suffering in this world."
With that said, he took the lead and walked forward.
Fusu followed Chen Ke with an inexplicable premonition in his heart.
This is the second lesson taught by your own teacher.
As the two of them walked along, Fusu knew for the first time how big Xianyang City was.
I don’t know how long I walked, but I almost reached the outside of Xianyang City.
In other words, we have already reached the border of Xianyang.
One or two villages appeared in the distance. Chen Ke walked in front, greeting people on the roadside as he walked.
He didn't actually know these people, but his innate skills allowed him to quickly integrate into them.
This is a very strange skill.
In fact, Chen Ke doesn't like socializing.
After another moment, a village appeared in front of the two people.
The village looked strange. It seemed very quiet, as if there were no people around.
But after walking in, I realized that there were many people among them.
There is something strange about these people. Some have defects on their bodies, some have no defects on their bodies, but they seem to have dull eyes.
They're like the walking dead.
Fusu frowned, are these people poor people?
But looking at his temperament, it doesn't look like him.
Chen Ke didn't speak, just walked forward, constantly guiding Fusu to look at the people around him.
Doubts kept piling up and increasing in Fusu's heart.
Slowly, Chen Ke passed through the village.
Fusu also traveled through this village.
They walked to another village. The people in this village seemed to be slightly better than the previous village.
But these people also have a completely airless feeling.
This feeling is very strange...
Obviously they are not lacking materially, so why is this happening?
Although they are not wearing silk and satin, they are still very good cloth.
After a long circle, the setting sun in the sky had already set.
Along the way, Chen Ke was silent, and so was Fusu.
It was like a class, but no one spoke, both of them were observing.
on the way back
Fusu couldn't help the doubts in his heart and spoke: "Teacher, who are those people?"
He had a vague guess in his mind, but he couldn't believe it.
Fusu has met those people...
It's a world of difference.
Chen Ke glanced at Fusu with a slight smile on his face.
"Who is it?"
He yawned, as if he didn't care or inadvertently.
"Didn't you already guess it?"
"Just as you can imagine, they are all Old Qin people, and they are all Old Qin soldiers!"
"Even the people in the village behind are all soldiers who have achieved military exploits and received rewards!"
Fusu couldn't bear it and exclaimed: "How is this possible?"
He looked at Chen Ke and said: "Teacher, I have seen Da Qin soldiers. How can they be in such a state of walking corpses?"
Chen Ke looked at Fusu: "Fusu, why do you think it is?"
Fusu shook his head: "Teacher, I don't know."
Chen Ke didn't care, and slowly guided him: "Fusu, think about it, who are they originally?"
Fusu did not hesitate: "They are soldiers of Great Qin!"
Chen Ke continued: "Our country, Great Qin, was founded on military merit. At that time, their status was noble and glorious."
"It's just that years of war have caused constant scars on their bodies."
"Some are even disabled."
"In this case, they have to retreat from the battlefield and return home."
"It's okay for some who have received rewards. They are at least materially satisfied."
"But those who are disabled and don't have much reward, they can't even take care of food and clothing."
Chen Ke was silent for a moment, and then continued: "The people who get rewards are only a few after all."
"So there are very few people in the village behind."
An idea vaguely emerged in Fusu's mind, but he did not say it out loud.
He just looked at Chen Ke and continued to listen to Chen Ke.
Chen Ke sighed and continued: "In the past, they fought for the country, but now they have nothing to do."
"There are even some people who can do nothing but fight."
"After returning from the war, my parents died young and I had no children, no daughters, and no wife."
"These people only have a little money in their hands, and they can't just sit back and have nothing."
"What can they do?"
"We can only let go of the glory of being soldiers of the old Qin people. At this time, their psychology is not satisfied."
"So, they can only be the walking dead."
“Some even cannot be satisfied not only spiritually and psychologically, but also materially.”
"Not enough to eat, not warm enough to wear"
"He still has a disability."
"Fusu, how come a person like this won't turn into the walking zombie he was before?"
Chen Ke's words made Fusu silent. He did not expect such a scene after the glorious Qin Empire.
Fusu raised his head and looked at the invisible village. He opened his mouth to speak, but paused again.
Chen Ke looked at Fusu like this and smiled: "Fusu, now I know."
"Why does General Wang want to thank me?"
"Do you know why I want to use these old Qin soldiers?"
Fusu nodded: "I understand, teacher."
"You want to give them psychological and even material help."
"And it won't be considered a handout to them."
"It can also make them feel satisfied, right?"
Chen Ke nodded slightly.
“Yes, that’s exactly what it is”
"But I brought you here today to see these for another purpose."
Chen Ke smiled, looked at Fusu and said, "Fusu, what do you think is the greatest support for Great Qin now that it has unified the world?"
Before Fusu could answer, Chen Ke said: "Get rid of Your Majesty."
Chen Ke's eyebrows were filled with pride: "If you include Your Majesty, then Your Majesty is my greatest support in Great Qin!"
Fusu hesitated for a moment, and then asked: "Are they the common people of the world?"
"Is it the people's support?"
Chen Ke had a smile on his lips and raised his eyebrows: "Yes and no."
"They are the common people, but not all the common people."
“It’s the people’s hearts, but it’s not all the people’s hearts.”
He looked at Fusu and said meaningfully: "Fusu, are you thinking about it?"
