When Ying Zheng received the news from Li Xin, he did not force Li Xin to continue fighting, but asked them to rest on the spot. The court would adjust the food and grass transportation plan as soon as possible and make every effort to ensure that the army continued to maintain food.

The snow came suddenly, and Fusu was caught off guard. His previous life was a long time ago. He remembered the general direction of some major events, but he couldn't remember whether there was such a heavy snow this year.

After all, he was a half-grown boy who couldn't get involved in anything, and he was far less involved in the matter now.

Seeing that the disaster was getting worse and worse, Fusu couldn't sit still and walked around the city himself. The more he got to the open place outside the city, the more the wind and snow were so heavy that it was impossible for people to walk. Fusuda took a long way to take a look at the depth of the snow, and then he went back to the city with great worries.

This time, Ying Zheng learned in advance what Changpingjun might be rebelling, which was to block a hidden danger that might have an impact on the war early on, but man's calculations were not as good as God's calculations. The snow fell heavily and urgently, disrupting many of the original plans.

Fusu returned to the palace to ask for a meeting with Ying Zheng, and Ying Zheng was also worried.

Qin could still afford to support 200,000 soldiers. Even the 600,000 soldiers proposed by Wang Jian were not unable to get all of them. However, once the war dragged on too long, the loss for Qin was too great. The snow was really sad. I don’t know how many houses would collapse and how many people would freeze to death.

When people heard that Fusu was coming, Ying Zheng asked Fusu Xuan to come in and asked Fusu what was wrong.

Fusu said: "It's snowing so hard and the weather is particularly cold. I'm afraid there will be disasters in each county."

There is still a war in the face of severe disasters. Even if Qin has just collected a lot of new grain, it cannot bear it. However, the 200,000 troops have all reached Chu and ordered them to withdraw. It is too dangerous to withdraw rashly under such circumstances. Who knows whether Chu will attack while retreating?

The cold and cold weather trapped Li Xin and the others in the Chu State.

Ying Zheng was not happy, but he did not show it in front of Fusu. As a wise and great king and father, he would never be bothered by this. He said: "No one can predict such natural disasters. If they really come, they can only cure God after the disaster. No matter how much you worry, it will be useless."

Fusu nodded and said fortunately, the coal mine had been mined. Although the weather was cold, burning more coal should be able to survive this winter. However, the houses in the villages outside the city might collapse. He wanted to wait until the snow stopped and organize people to check the situation.

Ying Zheng did not object and let Fusu arrange the matter.

Fusu went to the nursing home again. When he went to Handan County, he once opened a nursing home to accommodate homeless elderly, weak, women and children, especially children who were unable to make a living.

After returning to Xianyang, he opened nursing homes in Yunyang County and Xianyang City, and his main target was orphans who were unraised. Since the opening of the nursing home, he has now adopted many children one after another.

Fusu walked out of the palace in the snow, leaving two lines of footprints on the snow. When he arrived in front of the nursing home, the sharp-eyed gatekeeper immediately shouted "Young Master" while opening the door to greet him. He shouted in a very angry voice: "Young Master, come here, young master."

As soon as he finished speaking, a group of little guys ran out of the house.

Fusu walked over quickly so that the little guys who were too happy would run out. It would be bad if it was frozen in such a cold day! He coaxed the little guys who ran to him back into the house. Seeing coal burning in the house, a group of small chairs surrounded the stove, which looked warm and relieved.

Fusu teased the children for a while before asking the people in the nursing home if the charcoal fire is enough for the winter.

Xianyang is the capital of the Qin Dynasty. Even if there are problems with nursing homes elsewhere, there will be no problems with nursing homes in Xianyang. Naturally, everything is good.

Fusu felt relieved and played with the little ones for a while before walking back in the snow.

With heavy snow blocking the road, there are fewer things you can do and fewer pedestrians on the road.

Fusu looked at the streets covered with silver, thinking about many things that have happened over the years, and gradually felt that the adventure after death was far away was really a dream. After returning to the Qin Dynasty, he was still half-dream and half-awake, and did not really think about how to go in the future.

When he truly touches war and natural disasters, he realizes that people are indeed very small. No matter whether you are the emperor or the king, you are the same in the face of life and death and disasters. You cannot escape from life and death, nor can you reverse disasters.

When he was in Handan County, Fusu saw what disasters would be brought to the local area by inaction; during the destruction of Zhao and Han countries, Fusu saw what consequences would be if the king was foolish and absurd.

He wanted the Qin Dynasty to be in a long and prosperous life, and it could not be done by just one mouth, nor could it be done by just one or two people.

Fusu walked a long way on the street and suddenly thought of Han Fei, who had not visited for a long time.

He paused and turned to knock on Han Fei's door.

The one who opened the door was a well-behaved servant. When Fusu came, the servant hurriedly shouted, "Grand Master."

"Mr. Han is here?" Fusu asked.

"Sir," the servant welcomed Fusu in and told Fusu about Han Fei's recent situation. Han Fei was quite energetic, but he didn't go out much and wouldn't go out at any time. He reads books every day and occasionally writes some articles. In general, although he doesn't have much energy to live, he is still alive.

Fusu followed the servants into the room and soon saw Han Fei sitting there reading.

Seeing Fusu, Han Fei put down the book in his hand and stood up to greet him.

The two sat opposite each other, and Fusu asked Han Fei with concern what was missing here. Han Fei shook his head.

Since Han Guo surrendered to Qin, he became more and more silent, and his whole body was thin and depressed. He didn't care about the external things. He didn't care whether the charcoal fire was warm enough and whether the food was delicious enough. Anyway, he could not starve to death and freeze to death.

It was snowing outside again.

Fusu also fell silent and sat quietly opposite Han Fei.

Although he had an encounter different from others, he is now just a mortal. It is precisely because he has to face the insignificance and shortness of life again that he began to think about how to do what he could do in just a few decades.

He was a little confused and confused. He didn't know who to talk to, nor did he know who to ask for advice.

He would come to search for Han Fei for a moment, but he just remembered the articles that Han Fei had written and wanted to listen to some of Han Fei's opinions here. However, Han Fei's current state is obviously not suitable for talking about such topics.

After drinking a cup of tea, Fusu put down the teacup and said to Han Fei, "I'm disturbing sir."

Fusu was about to get up and leave, when Han Fei asked, "What are you confused about?"

Fusu paused and sat back again. Seeing Han Fei looking up at him, he remembered the graceful manner of Han Fei when he first met him. He sighed in his heart and told Han Fei what he was thinking about recently that although the world is not yet determined, it has already become unification.

To conquer the world, you only need to fight the whole country in one go and fight with one slogan. But what after the battle? If the Qin Dynasty becomes the only master in the world, how can we not repeat the mistakes of the Zhou Dynasty and truly achieve that all officials perform their duties and all labours do their own jobs, and the people in the world live and work in peace and contentment, and there will be no more chaos?

After listening to Fusu's words, Han Fei was silent for a long time.

This proposition is too big. Even if he has been studying the Legalist monograph for his whole life, he cannot give a very good answer.

From the perspective of the king, if you want to firmly control the entire country, you naturally try to keep all rights in your hands. You will be divided into whoever is obedient, and you will be severely punished. You should beware of all the guys who may take advantage of loopholes, including but not limited to the women beside you, those who serve you around you, royal relatives, court officials, etc.

In short, it is the basic quality of being a king of a country to treat everyone as a tool, to limit everyone's actions according to strict laws, and to never be deceived by anyone.

If a new system is formulated from this perspective, the monarch will of course flourish under the leadership of a wise monarch.

However, Fusu has discovered the problem with this system: no one can guarantee that every monarch is wise.

Even the same monarch cannot guarantee that he is wise and wise when he was young, and when he is old, he is wise and wise.

In this way, the biggest loophole has emerged in this system formulated from the perspective of the king's centralization: the king himself or those around him with ulterior motives use this centralization to disrupt the order of the entire country.

Han Fei has analyzed these problems, but he only advised the king to improve his qualities and be careful not to be used to do bad things by the people around him.

Han Fei said: "There is no perfect method in the world."

Even if there is one, Ying Zheng's temper cannot be adopted. Ying Zheng is essentially a very domineering person. If you say he likes to listen, he will definitely listen to it. If he doesn't like to listen, he will not agree with it at all. Even if you rack your brains to stuff three or two pieces of private goods into ten suggestions, he will accurately pick it out for you and happily adopt the remaining few.

There is probably no king in the world who is willing to put shackles on himself.

The strong minister is weak, and the weak minister is strong. This is inevitable. It is impossible to rely on a certain system to keep the two in a balance state.

However, Han Fei still gave Fusu some suggestions to improve the official system he and Ying Zheng mentioned for Fusu.

The day to unify the world is the best time to innovate the official system.

Qin has been using the county system over the years. If Qin really can unify the world in the future, it will probably implement the county system in full.

To govern such a large country with county systems instead of relying on feudal divisions and aristocratic families to complete local rule, there is no experience to learn from before. If a more complete and efficient official system can be developed from the beginning to match the county system, even if it is still impossible to achieve once and for all, at least many problems can be avoided.

Fusu stayed at Han Fei's residence for a long time until the snow was slightly smaller outside, and he left Han Fei's residence with a stack of manuscripts he had just recorded. He returned home with the manuscripts, but found that the bamboo bears were lying beside the gate of the yard, as if waiting for him to come back.

Fusu stepped inside, rubbed their heads one by one, and they led him towards the study.

Fusu stepped inside and found that the fire had burned in the room, which looked very warm. On the collapse of the slum where they used to be together to read books, there was a familiar figure sitting, and he actually followed Li You to Zhang Liang from Yuyang County.

Seeing that Fusu was back, Zhang Liang poured a cup of hot tea into his cup.

Fusu understood what the bamboo bears were going to tell him. He sat in the seat he often sat and asked Zhang Liang in surprise: "Why are you back?"

Zhang Liang said: "A person like me is still not suitable for business management. It is better to come back and study than to stay in Yuyang and give you some advice."

He talked to Fusu about the situation in Yuyang County. At the beginning, the three of them cooperated well, but when things were on the right track, he became a little casual. He basically threw the things in his hands to the people below to work. Li You couldn't stand his behavior and felt that he was cheating.

Zhang Liang felt that Li You was a lump of wood, so how could he not do things by arranging others to do things?

It was difficult to deal with Chen Ping in the middle. He was still a young man and his hair was gone. He ran to Qiguo to hang out in the early spring, but he felt that he was different from Li Youdao and did not make any plans.

Zhang Liang thought that this was not a problem, so he simply recommended himself to take his place and returned to Xianyang alone.

Anyway, the problems in Yuyang County have been almost solved. It is almost the same with Li You and Chen Ping in charge. He is not much more than him, and he is not much more than him. There is really no need for him to stand there and fight with Li You.

After hearing this, Fusu felt that both sides were correct, but his style of doing things was different. He could see this before they set off.

No matter what, Zhang Liang was quite happy to come back to Fusu. He said: "It's so heavy snow, many places are blocked by snow. You can still come back."

Zhang Liang said, "It's just a matter of taking more paths. You can always go back to Xianyang." Seeing Fusu back with a stack of manuscripts from outside, he asked Fusu where he had just gone.

Fusu answered honestly: "I'm going to meet Mr. Han."

Zhang Liang was silent for a moment and asked, "How is Mr. Han?"

"I'm pretty good in spirit, but I've lost a lot of weight." Fusu took out the manuscript for Zhang Liang to show it, wanting to discuss with Zhang Liang if there is any improvement.

They can't interfere in the war, so they can only consider the post-war affairs. No matter whether they can persuade Ying Zheng to adopt these suggestions in the future, it is better to be prepared early than to do nothing.

Although the two of them had been separated for a long time, they were not unfamiliar at all. Soon they talked about the suggestions given by Han Fei, and discussed back and forth what parts are worth referring to.
