Chapter 386
A rebellion of over a million people is no laughing matter.
The military generals exchanged glances and bowed to Ying Ying Zi Ye one after another.
"The Great Wall is the safeguard for defending the territory of Great Qin; Your Highness the Crown Prince, please rescind the order!"
"Your Highness the Crown Prince, please rescind the order!"
"Your Highness the Crown Prince, please rescind the order!"
All the military generals shouted aloud.
Requesting Ying Ying Zi Ye to rescind the order.
Meng Tian's expression was also somewhat unsightly.
He had not expected that the Great Wall, built with such painstaking effort, would actually be suspended.
Does His Majesty not know the importance of this Great Wall?
This Great Wall was like his lifeblood, and it looked as though it would be completed before long.
Yet at this critical moment, it was called to a halt.
Whoever it was, it would be difficult to accept in their heart.
Could this matter be a unilateral decision by His Highness the Crown Prince?
"Your Highness, does His Majesty know about this?"
Meng Tian looked at Ying Ying Zi Ye with suspicion.
He believed that Ying Ying Zi Ye had not informed His Majesty the Qin Qin Shi Huang about this matter.
Otherwise, how could such a crazy order be issued?
"General Meng Tian does not think that I issued this order privately, does he?"
"If this matter did not have the approval of the Father Emperor, how would I dare to act so recklessly."
"Many things have happened in Great Qin recently; perhaps you are all unaware."
"Let Seeing Xiao He explain this matter to you."
Ying Ying Zi Ye sat on the table, savoring the tea here in detail.
He no longer paid attention to the shocked expressions of the crowd.
He could also understand that building the Great Wall could defend against the Xiongnu's incursions.
But this is not a method to eliminate the root of the problem forever; perhaps there are better methods than this.
Upon hearing this, Seeing Xiao He stood out from the side and bowed very politely to Meng Tian and the others.
"This official, Seeing Xiao He, President of the Great Qin Daily, greets all the Generals."
Meng Tian and the others looked at Seeing Xiao He in surprise.
They had also heard of the Great Qin Daily.
And they had also seen the newspapers of the Great Qin Daily.
They did not expect the President to appear directly before them.
They all wanted to see what this President had to say.
Thus, no one spoke, just watching Seeing Xiao He like that without saying a word.
The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became somewhat frozen.
"Big Brother, relax a little; this is His Majesty's decree."
"However, this matter was indeed proposed by His Highness the Crown Prince."
"But fortunately, it received His Majesty's consent."
"Otherwise, His Highness would not have said he wanted to dissolve the Great Wall corvée."
Meng Yi hurriedly came out to smooth things over.
He did not want his big brother Meng Tian to have any unpleasantness with His Highness the Crown Prince.
Meng Tian did not speak, just looking at Seeing Xiao He like that.
Seeing Xiao He was not stage-frightened and directly took out a stack of newspapers.
He distributed them to the hands of each military general.
"Generals, there is no use in saying more at this moment."
"This official will just show you the Great Qin Daily from these past few days."
"These should be more convincing; you will understand after you read them."
Meng Tian and the others looked at the newspapers in their hands with suspicion.
Upon reading them, there was a collective gasp!
Hiss—!
The content in the Great Qin Daily horrified them.
Dissolve all the corvée and convicts of Great Qin; is this madness?
They had originally thought it was only dissolving the corvée of the Great Wall.
Who would have thought that all the corvée and convicts were to be dissolved.
The convicts building Lishan and the convicts building the imperial highways had already been dissolved.
The four major projects of Great Qin were being continuously dissolved in various places.
It was just that the Great Wall here had not yet received the news.
Why on earth is this?
The newspaper only said that His Majesty the Qin Qin Shi Huang sympathized with the common people.
As for when to build again, that will be discussed next time.
According to the timeline, it is estimated that the corvée dissolved across Great Qin is about the same.
His Majesty issued a decree; even if they did not want to dissolve, they had to.
Not dissolving is disobeying the order, and this charge would be huge.
Even if they were reluctant, even if they were unwilling, they had to obey the order.
Even if the Xiongnu attacked, without the existence of the Great Wall, they would only have to think of countermeasures themselves.
"Your Highness, must it be dissolved?"
"In not too long, if given some more time, this Great Wall could be completed!"
"We are connecting the Great Walls of the previous six states; connecting and building it is fast."
"And if everyone is dissolved, if they return home and have resentment towards Great Qin."
"When they unite to rebel, what should be done about that?"
Meng Tian still wanted to make an effort; he did not want to give up just like that.
Ying Ying Zi Ye shook his head firmly, rejecting this proposal.
Great Qin has dissolved everywhere, and the Great Wall must also be dissolved.
As for whether to build it again, that will be decided based on the situation at that time.
"Execute the order!"
"Arrange for them to go home; for those without homes, arrange accommodations for them."
"Farming, self-sufficiency; Great Qin can be considered to have cast off this burden."
"In the Great Qin of today, after some more time, there will be absolutely no shortage of food."
"Only in this way can we have more energy to do other things."
"As for rebellion, that will be even less likely; they will only be grateful to Great Qin."
"Grateful to Great Qin for giving them a new life, grateful to Great Qin for giving them a chance to live again."
Ying Ying Zi Ye was not here to discuss with Meng Tian, but to issue orders.
