Chapter 1541
Ying Zheng found it amusing to look at the stunned expressions of the Maurya group.
Such a palace would be unworthy of the name "First Palace under Heaven" if it didn't shock them.
"Feng Quji, Shangqing Meng Yi."
"Your servant is here!"
The two stepped forward a few paces and bowed respectfully.
"Arrange to lead the people of the vassal state around for a tour."
"Show them the strength of Great Qin."
"When the Crown Prince returns, send them back."
"I will return to the Lanchi Palace first."
"Understood!"
Feng Quji didn't expect His Majesty to ask him to lead the way.
Although he was somewhat unwilling, he could only honestly lead the way.
Ying Zheng turned and left, and Zhang Han followed closely.
"Respectfully send off Your Majesty!"
"Respectfully send off Your Majesty!"
The officials shouted loudly.
This sound also startled Sali Shujia and the others.
Seeing the Emperor leave, the Maurya Empire people
also followed along, shouting to respectfully send off His Majesty.
This was the Great Qin Empire.
They didn't dare to act recklessly here.
They had to ensure their etiquette was in place.
They could not lose etiquette; these were the etiquettes of Great Qin.
They knew the saying "when in Rome, do as the Romans do."
To put it bluntly, it was because the Great Qin Empire was too powerful.
Otherwise, they wouldn't need to be so timid.
Just looking at this palace, they knew the Great Qin Empire was not to be trifled with.
How could ordinary national strength build such a golden and magnificent palace?
"King A-Jia, His Majesty has asked us to take you for a stroll."
"Why don't you join us to experience the customs of Great Qin?"
Feng Quji and Shangqing Meng Yi walked up.
This was something His Majesty had instructed them to do.
They could not neglect these people.
"Then thank you all."
Sali Shujia and the others didn't expect to have a chance to stroll around.
It seemed the Great Qin Emperor was quite good; this was exactly what they wanted.
"Please this way..."
Feng Quji and the others led the group of dark-skinned men to stroll around the First Palace under Heaven.
Of course, there were some places they were not allowed to go.
The First Palace under Heaven was very large; they hadn't visited much even after a few hours.
Finally, Feng Quji and the others discussed it.
They led the group directly to the foot of Lishan.
The mountain might not be as good to visit as the foot of the mountain.
After all, the foot of Lishan was the new capital city.
All the buildings were under construction and were nearing completion.
The city walls were not yet built.
But it was estimated that it wouldn't take long to finish the new capital's city walls.
When Sali Shujia and Amir Gupta and others saw the scene at the foot of the mountain,
they fell into shock once again.
They saw the scene below from halfway up the mountain.
Looking down from a high position, they were severely shocked.
The construction of the new capital was densely packed with people.
They didn't know how many people there were.
And those countless beautiful houses; these were beautiful houses they had never seen before.
And those tall city walls that stretched as far as the eye could see.
These things shocked their vision.
Their Maurya Empire couldn't build such beautiful things.
And they didn't have the strength to create these things.
These scenes shocked their fragile little hearts.
The palace on the mountain was already enough to shock them.
They had originally thought the foot of the mountain would be more ordinary.
Now it seemed it was not ordinary at all.
The foot of the mountain was even more impressive than the top.
Whether it was the buildings or the city walls, these were things they had never seen.
They were also buildings that the Maurya Empire couldn't build.
Sali Shujia and the others didn't even know how they got to the foot of the mountain.
At the foot of the mountain,
they finally saw clearly the countless people building the city walls.
Many of them were actually soldiers.
The number was estimated to be a million.
This made them unable to understand why so many soldiers were allowed to participate in building the city walls.
The explanation given by the Great Qin people was that Great Qin was too powerful.
There were too many soldiers with nothing to do, so they were used to build the city walls.
When Sali Shujia and the others learned that Great Qin had two million troops,
they almost fainted.
This number was too terrifying.
Two million troops; just the military pay and provisions for one year was a bottomless pit.
But the Great Qin Empire seemed very relaxed, without any pressure at all.
It could be seen how powerful the Great Qin Empire was.
The people of the Maurya Empire couldn't use words to express what they saw today.
Their fragile hearts were battered beyond recognition.
Originally, they thought the Great Qin Empire was only slightly stronger than them.
Now it seemed it wasn't just "slightly."
This was simply a difference as vast as heaven and earth.
Sali Shujia and the others were arranged in the houses that had been built.
Waiting for the Crown Prince to return so they could be sent back.
They didn't even remember how they got here.
They were like people who had lost their souls.
The impact of everything today was too great for them.
The people of the Maurya Empire sat in the hall, looking at each other, speechless for a long time. ===== CHAPTER 1543 =====
