Li Si really wanted to pry open Meng Tian’s head to see what else was inside besides wine!
"Even if you ask your own slaves to do it, won't they have food or water?"

“No matter who does it, the project will be completed!”

"Use disaster victims to do it, it costs less and can be used as a political achievement!"

"If the victims are starved to death, your Majesty will be beheaded in anger!"

"You're just taking off your pants to fart, it's unnecessary!"

Meng Tian was stunned for a moment: "It can at least save some food for the mansion."

Li Si laughed angrily: "What's the matter? Who will do the work in your house?"

"Spend some money and food to continue hiring people?"

"That's just like digging a hole in the east and filling it in the west!"

"Dig another hole from the north to fill the hole dug from the east!"

"You might as well take off your pants and fart. At least it can be done in one go!"

The First Emperor looked at Meng Tian with care for a mentally retarded person.

How come apart from drinking and fighting, the rest is just a mess!

Meng Tian felt the look in Qin Shi Huang's eyes and felt that his intelligence was insulted.

He did not dare to ask the First Emperor any questions and turned his attention to Zhu Ming.

"Let's not talk about corruption for now, what about the plague?"

"According to what you said, there are quite a few people involved in one project, and the population is gathered together, which seems to be conducive to the spread of the plague."

"Can't see avoiding the plague?"

Zhu Ming shook his head: "It's impossible to avoid it completely."

“We can’t do that even in our place!”

"The project planned by the court cannot be just one. Even if it is just one, it can be divided into many parts!"

“It’s like separating the disaster victims!”

"Even if a plague breaks out in one place, it can be stopped in time!"

“Avoid large-scale spread!”

Li Si nodded: "Indeed!"

Zhu Ming:

"When the warehouses were opened to distribute food, the victims basically just lay down where they were after they got their food. They lacked exercise, so it was easy for them to get sick!"

“Even if engineering work is tiring, it is also a form of exercise.”

"Relatively speaking, the probability of getting sick is reduced!"

"What's more, those officials in charge of the project can just make a statement that anyone who doesn't pay attention to hygiene, urinates or defecates anywhere, etc., will not be given a job!"

"Look who dares to disobey!"

"If you are obedient, you will have food to eat. If you are disobedient, you will have nothing!"

Meng Tian couldn't help but ask: "What if no one cares about hygiene?"

Zhu Ming:

"Starve them for a day or two, and see who won't obey!"

"Just like you, I give you alcohol to drink every day, but you can only go to fixed places to urinate and defecate!"

"Otherwise, I won't give you any wine!"

"You think you can hold it in?"

Meng Tian hurriedly shook his head: "No, I can't do that. I can have a bottle of Maozi for a meal and bark like a dog twice!"

Li Si said mockingly: "Don't even mention thatch, even if it's Sanbai, I think you can learn to pee like a dog!"

Meng Tian sneered: "Don't just talk about me, as if you can't do it!"

Li Si shook his head: "I am honest and obedient, why do I have to learn this!"

The First Emperor understood.

It is exactly as Zhu Ming said.

Meng Tian had to admit that what Zhu Ming said made sense.

Full of surprise.

I actually felt that what this dandy boy said made sense, it was impossible.

"Then tell me about laziness. I think that's unlikely."

Zhu Ming asked back: "Do you still drink Daqin's wine now?"

Meng Tian shook his head: "Compared to white wine, can it still be called wine? I have already sold it all to other people!"

Zhu Ming:

"Look, you've only been drinking liquor for a short time, but you can't even drink Daqin's liquor anymore!"

“You can see how quickly a habit is formed!”

“Work-for-relief avoids this situation.”

"Tell the victims that only by working can they have food to eat, and even paying them a little bit of wages is fine."

"In order to survive, these disaster victims must work hard!"

"When the disaster is over, these people will have to return to their original lives."

"Get up early and stay up late to make a living!"

"Work-for-relief allows for a smooth transition from engineering to life!"

“It’s all the same job!”

"Once you get used to being lazy, it may take you a while to adjust to your life when you suddenly return to it!"

"I've even gotten used to eating and drinking for free, and I think the court should provide me with food and drink!"

"You will then feel resentment towards the imperial court!"

"This kind of thing is very common!"

Li Si thought about it carefully and found that it was true.

Just like studying at home every day, it doesn’t matter even if I’m grounded as punishment.

They all study at home.

If I go to brothels every day and suddenly get confined to the house, many women will become sick with missing me. What a sin!
Zhu Ming:

“There is no such thing as a free lunch!”

"Opening warehouses and releasing grain will make it difficult for disaster victims to feel at ease."

"What if there is no food for the next meal?"

"If people gather together and take advantage of this kind of anxiety, it will easily lead to mutiny!"

"Then he raised his arm and waved his hand. The Qin Dynasty was the first dynasty in history to have a peasant uprising. This reflected the social situation at the time. In short, it was a tyrannical Qin Dynasty. The remnants of the six kingdoms who led the uprising became heroes who resisted the tyrannical Qin Dynasty and became widely known!"

The First Emperor could not help but curse: "These damned remnants of the six kingdoms, I will settle accounts with them sooner or later!"

"You instigate civil unrest and still want to be a hero? Dream on!"

Zhu Ming:

“Work-for-relief prevents this from happening!”

"I work for you, and you pay me or provide me with food. That's only natural!"

“No psychological burden at all!”

"Besides, as long as the work is not finished, there is no need to worry about not having food to eat!"

"Otherwise, everyone will starve to death, and who will work for you?"

"The projects are all there, and everyone knows whether there is work to be done or not, so there is no room for random thoughts!"

Li Si praised: "Indeed!"

"The construction work is clearly there. If I were a disaster victim, I would not have imagined that only a few hundred miles of the thousand-mile road had been repaired."

"Instead, I'm thinking about how to do more work tomorrow to earn more food and wages!"

Zhu Ming:

"Yes, at this time, even if someone instigates them, I'm afraid they can't do it!"

"No one is stupid. On one hand, you can work to get food and even money, but on the other hand, you can lose your life at any time!"

"No need to tell me, I know how to choose!"

“Who would want to put a knife to their neck and rebel when they can live in peace?”

"In order to maintain the current stability, they might even kidnap the instigator in exchange for credit!"

The First Emperor thought about it and felt that it made sense.

"Xiao Zhu is right. As long as the disaster victims can have food to eat, who would want to rebel?"

"I have to think about how to speed up my work so that I can get more money and food!"

Listening to Zhu Ming's analysis, the disaster didn't seem that terrible.

At this time, Meng Tian also felt that opening the granaries to release grain was not comparable to providing work-for-relief.

“Are there any other benefits to work-for-relief?”

Zhu Ming:

"For Daqin, in addition to pacifying the disaster, we can also carry out infrastructure construction!"

"Compared to workers employed at other times, the wages of disaster victims can be said to be the lowest!"

"Basically, as long as you have some food, you can work!"

"Daqin wants to build a road, develop water conservancy projects, and build a few factories. These projects require a lot of people, and they are also very beneficial to Daqin!"

"It's even possible to build the Great Wall!"

The more the First Emperor listened, the more excited he became.

Li Si exclaimed: "I never thought that work-for-relief would have so many benefits!"

“When we encountered disasters before, we just thought about opening the warehouses and releasing the grain!”

"If we had known this would happen earlier, I'm afraid that Qin would have been able to pacify the six kingdoms several years earlier!"

"Your Majesty, I think we should summarize it into a set of effective disaster relief methods for future generations to learn from!"

Zhu Ming continued:

"Remember, the more you work, the more you get. For the elderly, the weak, the sick and the disabled, you can give them some easy work."

"If everyone works more or less, they all get the same amount!"

"When the time comes, everyone will slowly give up!"

“Work-for-relief has lost its meaning!”

Li Si thought about it and said, "That's right, this is the only way to motivate people!"

"Why do they eat better and earn more? They do more work, so it's only natural that they earn more!"

"If you want to earn more, you work more!"

Zhu Ming:

"I have to say, the corvée labor in your Great Qin is very heavy!"

“Much heavier than in other dynasties!”

“I think you can change that.”

"If there are projects that require a large number of laborers, they can be hired. All it takes is some money and food."

The First Emperor said with a bitter face: "I want to do it too, but unfortunately the Qin Dynasty is relatively poor, with no money and no food, so it is impossible!"

Zhu Ming:

"As for food, now that we have potatoes, I'll try growing some high-yield crops!"

"Maybe it can improve Daqin!"

"As for money, I think you can learn from the Sui and Ming dynasties, get some technology, and improve the mining and refining of gold, silver and copper!"

The same thing is said about work-for-relief.

Zhu Ming looked at the First Emperor and said, "Brother Zheng, have you noticed that your current thoughts are very dangerous?"

The First Emperor wondered: "Is the thought dangerous?"

Zhu Ming: "In fact, Brother Zheng, have you noticed that you have not yet stepped out of your identity as the King of Qin?"

"You are now the emperor of Qin, not the king of Qin!"

“You need to change your mindset.”

The First Emperor thought for a moment: "Change of thought?"

Zhu Ming: "Yes, after you destroyed the six kingdoms and established the Qin Dynasty."

"The people of the six kingdoms have become the people of the Qin Kingdom!" "If you keep distinguishing the people of Qin from the people of the six kingdoms, then the ministers in the court will follow your example!"

"It is impossible for the Great Qin to be truly unified!"

"The people of the six kingdoms are in opposition to the original Qin people, and it's getting stronger and stronger!"

"When the time comes, the kings, princes, generals and ministers will be nothing but idiots. The Qin Dynasty will collapse in an instant!"

"At that time, Qin was facing the people of the six countries who had deep resentment towards you!"

"You will face an opponent more powerful than during the Warring States Period!"

"And this opponent is invincible!"

"As long as this kind of opposition continues to exist, it is only a matter of time before it explodes!"

"The Qin Empire can be suppressed countless times, but it only needs one chance to bring it to ruin!"

The First Emperor's expression became very solemn.

Thinking carefully about what Zhu Ming just said.

The more I think about it, the paler my face becomes!
This situation is not impossible to happen, it is very likely to happen.

People are afraid of comparison!
It seems that the Qin people are living a good life.

The people of the six countries will definitely have complaints.

Otherwise we are all equally poor.

With the instigation of the remnants of the six kingdoms, a rebellion could break out at any time.

Even if it is suppressed once, there will be a next time!
The First Emperor's voice trembled: "Then what should I do?"

"We can't just kill them all to solve the problem once and for all!"

Zhu Ming snorted coldly: “Then your reputation as a tyrant will be even more fierce than in history!”

"Everyone says Yang Guang is cruel, but Yang Guang doesn't even dare to think so!"

"Brother Zheng, you have serious ideological problems!"

The First Emperor waved his hands: "How could I possibly do that!"

"But what should I do now?"

Zhu Ming: "The old Qin people were rewarded according to their merits at that time."

"Next, all the people of Daqin should be treated equally!"

"The promotion channels should also be the same!"

"As long as you have the ability, you can be an official in Daqin!"

Li Si frowned and said, "What if these people lead the people to rebel after they become officials?"

Zhu Ming:

“In fact, what the people want is very simple.”

"As long as I can have food to eat and support myself, that's enough!"

"As for who will be the emperor, I don't care at all!"

"Life in Daqin is better than before, so the people will naturally turn to Daqin!"

"Only the nobles of the six nations would think of their former superiority!"

The First Emperor was silent for a long time: "You are right. During this period of time, I have not left Qin!"

"I will definitely be a good emperor of the Qin Dynasty in the future!"

As one decree after another was issued.

Officials in the disaster area were stunned.

We were originally prepared to open the warehouses and release the grain.

Why did the policy change this time?

Anyone who dares to open the granary and release grain without permission will be executed immediately!

The remnants of the six kingdoms were happy to see this situation.

Spreading the cruelty of Qin Shi Huang everywhere.

I want to watch the people of the six countries die.

I didn't expect that the slap in the face would come so quickly.

The court immediately posted a new notice.

We must use the method of work-for-relief to provide disaster relief!
A special 'Disaster Relief Department' was also established!
Specially used to deal with this disaster.

"Work-for-relief, I never thought disaster relief could be done this way!"

“What a genius idea!”

"Compared to this, opening the warehouse and releasing grain is nothing!"

“Maybe we can provide disaster relief this way in the future!”

"The roads in the county should be repaired, and the Lingqu Canal should be dredged!"

"I don't know what to do with those wastelands. Maybe we can find some disaster victims to reclaim them!"

"Hehe, I wonder what the remnants of the six nations will think when they find out!"

"I guess you want to cry!"

In front of the Disaster Relief Department.

A group of officials are recruiting refugees.

"Building a dam requires a lot of labor. Food and lodging are provided, and wages are paid. First come, first served!"

"Recruit 3,000 men to reclaim wasteland, provide food and accommodation"

With the release of the news.

There was a huge crowd of people in front of the Disaster Relief Department.

The disaster victims who couldn't make a living heard that there were job openings here.

All gathered here.

"I have participated in the construction of the dam before. Can I be counted as one? Just give me a meal!"

"This is a talented person. You must come to my place. I will provide you with food and accommodation, and you will get paid!"

“I used to cook at the landlord’s house!”

"Sure, our cafeteria is in need of talents like you!"

The gathering of refugees and disaster victims seemed to be numerous.

But after each project, there is simply not enough to share!

The people of Dazhuang live up to their name.

Grows very strong.

He used to serve in the army in Qi State.

Later he became a prisoner of war.

Now the State of Qi is gone.

When encountering disasters, they become refugees.

I originally thought I was doomed, and was even prepared to kill people and steal food.

I heard about the job openings, so I came to take a look.

He was immediately spotted by the bridge construction team.

Responsible for moving bricks.

Because he is very strong, he can move more than others.

Not only did they receive the most food, but they were also paid a few coins as wages.

Let Da Zhuang ignite his hope for life!
Today, there are still people who encourage me to overthrow the Qin Dynasty and rebuild the Qi State.

Was beaten up by Da Zhuang!
"I have food to eat and money to earn, who would dare to rebel with you?"

"Even if Qi is restored, what does it have to do with me?"

"You still have to farm the land. If you don't have enough food, you still won't have enough to eat!"

Da Zhuang drove the man away, muttering

“Washing hands before meals and after going to the toilet is such a hassle!”

Da Zhuang said this, but he didn't dare to disobey.

Because the person in charge said that anyone who doesn’t obey will be kicked out immediately!
There is always someone supervising on the construction site!
Several people were caught today and thrown out on the spot.

After washing his hands, Da Zhuang followed a group of people to the hair cutting place.

It is said that if your hair grows long, it will get bugs.

To continue working, men had to keep their hair short.

Women's hair can't be too long either.

Da Zhuang has never seen bugs in hair.

But since the person in charge has said it, we have to listen!

That will really drive people away.

At this time, a man shouted: "My body and hair are given by my parents. I dare not damage them. This is the beginning of filial piety!"

Then he was dragged out and no one knew where he was thrown.

Da Zhuang didn't understand what it meant, and after asking many people, he finally understood what it meant.

"You can't even eat, and you're still thinking about this. You must be sick in the brain!"

A corner of Daqin.

A group of people held the new notice in their hands and couldn't help crying.

"Damn you, Qin Wang Zheng, how could he come up with such an idea!"

"It must be that hawk of Li Si!"

"Damn it, I finally convinced a few people, but after a few days of work, they all changed their minds!"

"I was even worse off. I was directly reported and almost didn't get out!"

"Why don't we build some big projects and grab all the people? If we continue like this, how can we overthrow the tyranny of Qin? Look at the city wall, it's getting stronger and stronger!"

"Bring it here to work, do you have money and food?"

"No, we are all Qi people, we are here to restore our country!"

"I'm stupid. Go ask the people of Qi State. How many of them know the name of the King of Qi? Who cares who you are?"

Everything about the disaster area was reported back to the Xianyang Palace.

The First Emperor couldn't stop laughing.

"Haha, I didn't expect that work-for-relief would be so effective. It really opens my eyes!"

Li Si: "Thanks to Xiao Zhu, Your Majesty. I heard that Xiao Zhu has titles in both the Sui Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty. We in the Qin Dynasty cannot be stingy!"

Meng Tian: "Yes, I think he can be given the title of Disaster Relief Marquis!"

Li Si shook his head: "I have already inquired about it. Xiao Zhu is Uncle Potato in the Sui Dynasty."

The First Emperor frowned: "It seems that we don't have an earl in the Great Qin."

Li Si: "I have already asked, the higher rank than Bo is Marquis, how about we make him Marquis?"

Meng Mengtian was shocked. Daqin had Guanneihou Chehou, the highest rank among the twenty ranks of nobility.

The First Emperor felt that the position was a little too high. It was not that he was not worthy of it, but he also had to consider the feelings of other ministers.

"Let's also make him Uncle Potato. We didn't have one before, but now we have one!"

In the villa, Zhu Ming was lying on the bed playing games.

Among the three sisters, Yang Ruyi walked over with a frown.

"What's wrong? Why do you look so bad?"

Yang Ruyi asked: "Aren't we going to invade Goguryeo soon? I'm afraid the Sui Dynasty will be the same as in history!"

"The three failed expeditions to Goguryeo led to chaos in the world!"

"I tried to persuade the emperor several times, but he refused!"

"Thinking you have any ideas?"

Zhu Ming: "Old Yang knows history, so he should make changes, right?"

Yang Ruyi: "Father is determined to fight Goguryeo. Can you provide some help?"

Zhu Ming: "How can I help?"

Yang Ruyi: "I saw this online recently. Can you provide some gas cylinders or steel pipes?"
