Hearing Zhao Fu's words, none of the ministers present dared to object. They all nodded and accepted all of Zhao Fu's orders.
Li Muqing and the other players let out sighs of relief. Luckily, Zhao Fu wasn't a member of a big family or an indigenous person. Otherwise, he wouldn't have such an attitude.
Following this, Zhao Fu changed into simple clothes and left the palace with Li Muqing.
At a construction site for building a canal, Zhao Fu watched sweaty men digging the canal and carrying stones and soil. Now that he had a storage ring, it was more convenient for him to deal with these things.
After picking out the stones and soil, he could put them into a storage ring and carry them away. The materials for building the canal were also put aside through the storage ring. The canal was being built in full swing.
According to the hierarchy system in Qin, Untouchables could work for the Qin government and help the Qin government with various constructions to earn points, which could be used to raise their status and level.
These people were all Untouchables, and they wanted to earn points by building the canal for the Qin government. Of course, the Qin government would also pay them accordingly.
Suddenly!
An honest-looking man who was carrying a pole bumped into Zhao Fu by accident, and some soil fell on Zhao Fu.
The man's face turned pale, and he immediately apologized, "I'm sorry! Sir, I didn't do it on purpose. I'll clean it up immediately. "
"Humph! How can a Untouchable Commoner like you touch this Sir's clothes? "
A man who looked like a foreman walked over and coldly harrumphed. Although Zhao Fu thought that his clothes were ordinary, in the eyes of others, his clothes were luxurious, and he had an extraordinary aura.
The honest-looking man didn't expect that he would disturb the foreman, and his face became even paler. He wanted to explain that he really didn't do it on purpose.
However, the foreman cut off the honest-looking man and said, "Do you know who this Young Master is? He's definitely a noble of Great Qin. With your status as Peasants, hurry up and kneel down, or I'll teach you a lesson."
Hearing this, the simple and honest man looked at Zhao Fu's clothes and immediately knelt on the ground. He kowtowed and said, "I'm sorry, young master. I'm truly sorry. Please forgive this lowly one."
The foreman smiled apologetically and said, "Young Master, please let him go this time. I'll help you clean the mud off your body!"
Zhao Fu was a little surprised. This foreman looked fierce and barbaric, but he didn't expect him to be helping a simple and honest man.
"It's fine. It's just a small matter. I don't mind. Also, why are you all so afraid?"
Zhao Fu was quite confused. It was just a small matter, but the other party seemed to be too afraid, as if he was worried about something.
The foreman didn't know how to answer. He could tell that Zhao Fu was a rich young master who didn't know much about the world and didn't understand the current situation in Qin. However, he was slightly relieved by Zhao Fu's kind attitude. Fortunately, Zhao Fu was easy to deal with.
Li Muqing explained, "Untouchables like him will be punished more if they cause trouble. They may also be recorded in the files and won't be able to get any points. They may be Untouchables for the rest of their lives."
"That's why they are afraid. They are especially afraid of nobles like you, because they can't afford to offend you."
The foreman said with a smile, "This beautiful lady is very sensible. I spent a lot of effort to be promoted from a Untouchable to a commoner. If I cause trouble, it will all be in vain. In Qin, we are all labeled, and any mistake we make will be more serious."
Zhao Fu nodded. It seemed that he was the one who had given the order. He had to punish them severely in order to make them afraid and obedient.
It was mainly because they had resisted so fiercely, so Zhao Fu had to deal with them in various ways.
The foreman said, "Then why did you come here? With your status, you shouldn't come here, lest people laugh at you."
Zhao Fu was startled and asked, "Why do you say that? Why do you want to be laughed at? "
The foreman was also startled; he didn't expect Zhao Fu to ask this question. He thought that Zhao Fu was really a rich young master and didn't understand this. He smiled and replied, "This is a place where Untouchables gather. Nobles like you will be infected with bad luck if you come here."
Zhao Fu frowned and turned to look at Li Muqing as he asked, "Why has the hierarchy in Qin become so strict? Upper-Class people are upper-class people, and lower-class people are lower-class people."
Zhao Fu didn't expect that this wasn't his original goal. As long as they became Qin's subjects, Zhao Fu would treat them equally. Zhao Fu wanted to punish these Untouchables and then become Qin's subjects. As long as they sincerely submitted to Qin, Zhao Fu would treat them with sincerity.
However, the current situation in Qin had become like this, just like the outside world. This was not what Zhao Fu wanted to see in Qin.
Thinking about this, Zhao Fu's expression became quite unsightly as he said, "Can you show me around? I want to know more about this place. "
The foreman looked surprised and smiled as he said, "Sir, you're quite interesting. Why do you want to know more about us Untouchables? "
Zhao Fu lightly nodded as he said, "I just want to know more about this place. I'll give you a reward afterwards."
The foreman immediately agreed, saying, "Very well! Sir, I'll show you around. "
Following this, the foreman took Zhao Fu to look around the construction site. Zhao Fu looked around and saw a few children playing in an open space next to the construction site. They were all wearing coarse clothes, and one of them was wearing ordinary clothes.
At that moment, a woman forcefully pulled the child away. The child cried and did not want to leave.
A few children in coarse clothes looked at the scene in front of them innocently. They didn't understand why the woman would take her children away when they were having fun.
The woman angrily raised a hand and shouted, "If you cry again, I'll hit you. They're the children of Untouchables, and they're also Untouchables. You can't play with them, or you might become like them in the future. Our Majesty doesn't like these people. Do you want to be someone our Majesty doesn't like? Do you want to be a high-ranking official in the future? "
These words caused the child to stop crying. At their age, they did not understand what Untouchables were, but they did not want to be someone their Majesty didn't like. Even though they were reluctant, they could only leave.
The children in coarse clothes had smiles on their faces, but sensing the strange gazes around them, they lowered their heads and felt so wronged that they almost started to cry.
Zhao Fu could not help but walk over and hand over a gold coin as he smiled and said, "Good children, be strong. Take this money and sell it for some good food."
