Chapter 112 The Disadvantages of Qin
"Sir, I don't think the future of Qin is bright."
"Although our national strength is strong now, our internal problems cannot be ignored."
"Heavy taxes, suffering of the people, corruption of officials..."
"If these problems are not properly resolved, they may sow the seeds of disaster."
"Moreover, the remnants of the six nations still harbor evil intentions. If given the chance, they will surely make a comeback."
“These are areas that I’m deeply concerned about.”
When Fusu heard this, he was shocked.
He did not expect Liu Ji to be so outspoken in pointing out the shortcomings of the Qin State.
But he also understood that this was exactly the authentic voice he needed.
He nodded slightly to show his approval of Liu Ji.
However, Fusu also knew in his heart that what Liu Ji said was not groundless.
Before traveling through time, he had read history books and knew that the Qin Dynasty did eventually perish at the hands of Liu Ji (Liu Bang).
But he also understood that history is made by people.
As long as they can identify problems in time and take measures to solve them, it is possible to avoid history from repeating itself.
Thinking of this, Fusu looked at Liu Ji deeply and then said.
"Mr. Liu Ji, I am deeply inspired by your words."
"I will seriously consider the issues you raise and look for solutions."
Fusu looked at Liu Ji and a strong sense of trust surged in his heart.
He knew that although Liu Ji came from a poor family, he possessed extraordinary talent and vision.
He took a deep breath and said to Liu Ji.
"Mr. Liu Ji, I deeply admire your outspokenness."
"Although I am a prince, I am also aware that the rise and fall of the country lies on my shoulders."
"Your insight is exactly what I need."
Liu Ji was deeply moved by Fusu's words, and he felt a warm current surge in his heart.
He knew that he had finally found someone he could talk to and trust.
He straightened his chest and continued.
"Sir, although I am not talented, I am willing to do my part for the future of Qin."
"But I still have some concerns..."
Seeing this, Fusu encouraged.
"Mr. Liu Ji, if you have any concerns, please speak up. We are in the same boat and have a common goal."
Liu Ji hesitated for a moment, but finally decided to tell the truth.
"Sir, what I am worried about is that although the Qin State appears to be strong on the surface, it is plagued by internal conflicts."
"Officials often ignore the people for their own selfish interests."
"If this continues, I'm afraid the people will lose their support and the country will be in danger."
After hearing this, Fusu frowned.
He knew very well that what Liu Ji said was true and that Qin did have these problems.
He said in a deep voice: "Mr. Liu Ji, you are right."
"If these problems are not properly resolved, the future of Qin will be worrying. Do you have any suggestions?"
Seeing that Fusu attached so much importance to his opinion, Liu Ji became more determined in his belief.
He took a deep breath and said.
"Sir, I think we should start from two aspects."
“First, we should strengthen the selection and assessment of officials, and select those who are truly talented and have good moral character to hold important positions.”
"Second, we will reduce the burden on the people, improve their livelihood, and make them truly feel the warmth and care of the country."
After hearing this, Fusu's eyes flashed with admiration.
He knew that Liu Ji's suggestions were very targeted and were the key to solving the problem.
He held Liu Ji's hand tightly and said.
"Mr. Liu Ji, your advice is very valuable."
“I will seriously consider it and put it into practice.”
"I believe that as long as we work together, the future of Qin will be even better."
