Chapter 368: Xianyang Storm, Lishan Situation

The Great Qin Daily newspaper spread rapidly in Xianyang City.

This matter soon spread throughout the entire Xianyang City!

In a tavern.

A group of diners were discussing this matter.

"Disbanding the world's corvée laborers and convicts?"

"I don't know if this is a good thing or a bad thing!?"

"Hard to say; some convicts are heinous, but there are also good people among them."

"Good thing; my distant cousin was a corvée laborer, and he can finally come back!"

"If this news reaches the corvée laborers and convicts, they must be overjoyed, right?"

"Nonsense, if you were a corvée laborer and heard the news of disbanding, you would probably be so excited you'd faint, right?"

"Same roots, same skin color; why should the same clan make things difficult for the same clan? It seems that's not wrong either."

"It should be considered a good thing; anyway, as long as the major projects are stopped, the world will no longer waste labor and money."

Not only in this tavern, but in every corner of Xianyang City, people were discussing this matter.

But whenever it was mentioned who facilitated this, the Crown Prince's name would again reach everyone's ears.

Ying Ying Zi Ye's name once again made everyone praise him.

Lantian Camp.

Ying Ying Zi Ye arrived here with the weapons forged by the Artisan Bureau.

Accompanying him were Xiao He and a group of writers.

And the Lantian Camp was already prepared to set off.

Ten thousand troops; the person leading the team was Shangqing Meng Yi—don't forget, Meng Yi was also a military officer.

And accompanying Meng Yi were Wang Li, Han Xin, Chou Fu, and the brothers Xiao Wu.

They had long received the news that they were to accompany the Crown Prince to the north!

To send a batch of supplies to his older brother, General Meng Tian, regarding the Xiongnu plundering the people of Great Qin.

The Lantian Camp had learned of this, and they wished they could lead the expedition themselves!

But they had duties and could not leave Xianyang.

And this task naturally fell to Meng Yi.

But everyone wanted to go to war, and finally, ten thousand people were selected to go.

Meng Yi had another main purpose for this trip.

That was to protect the Crown Prince well!

His Majesty the First Emperor had issued a death order on this point.

If anything happened to the Crown Prince, everyone accompanying him would be beheaded!

And after Han Xin learned of this news, he immediately requested to go to battle.

This was a great opportunity to establish military merit!

And because Han Xin was a person recommended by the Crown Prince.

He was also a thorn in the side, standing out in the competition.

He was naturally selected.

"Greetings, Crown Prince!"

"Greetings, Crown Prince!"

A group of people bowed when they saw Ying Ying Zi Ye arrive.

"Are you prepared?"

Ying Ying Zi Ye looked at the officers and soldiers.

This group of people was high-spirited; they were worthy of being the tiger-and-wolf army of Great Qin!

"Fight for the country! Die for the cause!"

"Fight for the country! Die for the cause!"

"Fight for the country! Die for the cause!"

The voices of the Commandants pierced the clouds.

"Set off!"

Ying Ying Zi Ye nodded with satisfaction.

Han Xin and the others quickly took the weapons from the Artisan Bureau.

The ten-thousand-man army slowly headed north.

Lishan Mausoleum.

This was a large mountain.

Looking from afar, one could see a dense crowd of people working on this mountain.

The crowd was too dense to measure, and no one knew how many there were.

And around this group of people, there were many soldiers holding weapons guarding them.

These were the Lishan convicts!

They were building the mausoleum, and this mausoleum was incomparably huge.

On the ground, there were countless palaces, and underground, there were palace complexes like a labyrinth.

Lishan convicts, rumored to be seven hundred thousand, working together.

The scene was incomparably grand; this was the Qin Shi Huang Mausoleum recorded in later generations!

Today, Lishan was ordinary; the convicts were still working hard as usual.

As long as anyone dared to slack off, the overseer would, in the first instance, let the small whip in his hand lash out at you.

Making you howl until you couldn't stop.

"Everyone be honest, work hard, don't be lazy!"

"The small whip hits you, it feels good in my heart; if you want to try, just try!"

A big man with a stubbly face waved the small whip in his hand, snapping it loudly.

Without paying attention, he lashed out at a strong man.

"Snap—!"

A dull thud echoed.

The strong man stared at the big man with the stubbly face with a deep frown.

"What are you looking at? I accidentally hit you, so what?"

"If you keep looking, the next whip will continue to hit!"
