Chapter 111 Liu Ji's Thoughts
Fusu said to Liu Ji with a smile.
"Mr. Liu Ji, I have heard of your great name for a long time. It is a great honor to meet you today."
"I wonder what you think of the future of Qin?"
Liu Ji was moved by Fusu's kindness and respect. He took a deep breath and spoke in a deep voice.
"Sir, the future of Qin lies in reform and talent."
"Although I am not talented, I hope to give you advice and help the Qin State move towards a more prosperous future."
Fusu sat on the dragon throne, gazing at Liu Ji with deep eyes, thinking secretly in his heart.
"I need to test him personally to see if Liu Ji really has real talent and knowledge."
So Fusu slowly asked.
"Mr. Liu Ji, what do you think about the current state affairs of Qin? You may as well speak frankly."
Although Liu Ji was a little nervous, the long conversation with Xiao He last night gave him a certain understanding of the current situation in Qin.
He took a deep breath, calmed himself, and then answered.
"Sir, since Shang Yang's reforms, Qin has become a powerful country, unified the six kingdoms, and is feared by the world."
"However, as the territory expands, the country's governance also faces many challenges."
"I think the main advantages and disadvantages of the Qin State at present are as follows."
Fusu nodded slightly, motioning Liu Ji to continue.
Liu Ji felt a little more relaxed and continued.
"The advantage is that Qin's laws are strict, its soldiers are brave, and its military strength is the strongest in the world."
"The disadvantages are that taxes are heavy, the people are exhausted and their hearts are unstable."
"Although the six kingdoms have been destroyed, their remnants still exist. If they are not properly dealt with, they may cause chaos."
After hearing this, Fusu secretly approved in his heart.
Although Liu Ji came from a poor family, he had unique insights and was able to point out the advantages and disadvantages of the Qin State.
He further asked: "So in your opinion, how should we deal with these challenges?"
Liu Ji pondered for a moment, then replied.
"Sir, I think we should start from two aspects."
"First, we will reduce the burden on the people and improve their livelihood to stabilize their hearts and minds."
"Second, we must strengthen our border defenses and guard against the invasion of the remnants of the six kingdoms."
At the same time, we should also focus on selecting talents and recruiting wise men to enrich the power of the court."
Fusu stared at Liu Ji sharply and decided to get to the point and find out his true thoughts.
He said in a deep voice: "Mr. Liu Ji, I don't want to hear your official rhetoric."
"I want you to be able to speak your mind without fear."
Liu Ji was a little frightened by Fusu's words, and he quickly waved his hands to explain.
"Sir, I...what I said is from the bottom of my heart, and there is not a single falsehood in my words."
He was secretly worried, wondering why Fusu suddenly asked this.
Fusu smiled slightly, he knew Liu Ji's fear and anxiety at the moment.
But he also understood that as a visionary and ambitious man, Liu Ji must have his own ideas and plans in his heart.
He continued: "Mr. Liu Ji, you don't have to be afraid."
"I just want to know what you really think about the future of Qin."
"After all, we are discussing the future of the country and need to hear real voices."
When Liu Ji heard this, he felt a little calmer.
He took a deep breath and mustered up the courage to speak.
"Sir, I do have some ideas in mind."
"But...but I don't know how to say it."
Liu Ji was struggling internally at this time.
After hesitating for a moment, Liu Ji finally decided to speak out his true thoughts.
