Bad people in Qin Dynasty

Chapter 581 Too Conservative

"Did he say so?"

In the Purple Orchid Pavilion, all the girls gathered together, just because Mo Crow was back, presumably the matter they had been asked to inquire about had come to an end, but they were very dissatisfied with that outcome.

"Those are your true words!"

Mo Ya answered affirmatively. He told the adult's answer in detail, and even imitated his voice and expression.

The girls were silent about this, not knowing what to say with their children in their arms.

"Sister Zhao, don't you care?"

Bai Ye looked at Zhao Ji, who was still in the mood to eat grapes. This eldest sister was the calmest among them.

"How can we not care, but he has endured too much, and this is also his way of protecting us. The final reason is that we are too weak and cannot even help him. All we can do now is not to cause trouble.

The comfortable life we ​​have now is the result of his hard work and shouldering all the pressure. It will not be beautiful if we add to the chaos. "

Putting down the bunch of grapes in her hand, Zhao Ji sighed.

She naturally wants to have a perfect and grand wedding, which is every woman's dream.

It's a pity that when he was in Zhao State, he was only used as a plaything by Lu Buwei and Ying Zichu. Even Ying Zichu was interested in his beauty and testing Lu Buwei.

In the end, they met the young man who was in love with her, but what was even more pity was that the young man was burdened with too much, and even if they wanted to silently support him from behind, they couldn't.

This is the tragedy of being a weak person!

Of course, there is another reason. After all, she is the Queen Mother of Qin. She has to consider Zheng'er. She can raise the little man as a face, but that is the limit.

The girls recalled the face of destiny revealed in the sky during the Battle of Xianyang. The terrifying pressure made their thoughts almost freeze.

There is really nothing they can do against that kind of existence, the gap is too big.

"It's already good to get him to agree to leave his bloodline. Don't ask for too much."

In the end, she gave some words of comfort. Zhao Ji had already looked away from this aspect, so her expectations were not strong.

Of course, besides Zhao Ji, there were a few other women who were relatively calm and not too disappointed.

For example, Mingzhu said she was lucky to have escaped from the Han Palace unscathed. Now that she has a child, she feels very satisfied.

This was something she had never dared to think about before. She had even thought about whether she would become Ji Wuye or the Xueyi Hou's plaything in the future.

In addition, she knows how to measure. There are so many women in the husband's house, and she is just one of them. This is no longer the palace of the Han Dynasty. There are some things that need to be paid attention to. Otherwise, it will be annoying and even ostracized by the group. It will not be beautiful. .

Not only is it bad for yourself, it’s also bad for your child’s future.

The girls didn't talk about this topic again, and after a day of fun and relaxation at Zi Lan's choice, they dispersed.

Most of them have their own affairs. For example, Zi Nu needs to take charge of Zi Lan Xuan's affairs, as well as the girls' tour across the country and the training of new members.

One hundred thousand people is not a small number, and many aspects need to be paid attention to.

Zhao Ji returned to the Qin Palace and saw Ying Zheng who was teasing his son and daughter.

"If you like children, go find a girl and have one yourself."

Seeing her son's appearance, Zhao Ji urged him funny.

"My son does have this idea, and he can also be a companion with them."

Ying Zheng nodded, he did have thoughts in this regard.

When Mo Ya came back, he first came to the palace to report to him and brought back the teacher's reply. The teacher's original words were that he just liked it and it was in line with the teacher's style, which reassured him.

"Got a girl?"

As soon as her eyes lit up, Zhao Ji became interested.

She had planned to find a good girl for her son before, but the little man said that Zheng'er should look for it on her own, and it would be best to find true love. However, since there has been no movement for such a long time, she felt a little anxious.

Calculating his age, this son is not young anymore. If it were any other king, he would already have many children.

"It's the Six Swordsman from Luowang who turned into a soul and destroyed his soul."

Ying Zheng was a little uneasy when he told the two people. He didn't know if his mother would agree.

"The two girls caught while chasing Lu Buwei after the Battle of Xianyang?"

Zhao Ji had some impression that it was related to Lu Buwei and Luo Weng after all. She even went to Mingzhu to interrogate him personally to see if Luo Wen and Lu Buwei had left any behind in Qin.

They are two good girls. Although their figures are not very good and they are not the type that is easy to give birth to, if they are together, the efficiency will not be low. Maybe they will be able to have grandchildren next year.

"It's them!"

Ying Zheng nodded and felt slightly relieved when he saw his mother's expression. It seemed that his mother was not repelled by their identities.

"Why are you so afraid of me? If you really like me, how can your mother refuse?"

Seeing her son's appearance, Zhao Ji was amused. This was the first time she saw her son so nervous. It seemed that he was really moved.

"When will we get married? Everyone in the Qin Kingdom is looking forward to having a queen."

When I asked further, she was very interested in this aspect.

As long as his son likes them, it's fine. As for the origins of the two girls, it doesn't matter. If they can come out of Sister Mingzhu, their mentality must have changed and they can integrate into the Qin State.

Moreover, during the original interrogation, she could have brought Hu Ya and Hu Mei over and read his memory in detail to make sure that there was no major problem, at least she would not have to worry about being involved with Luo Sheng again.

"My child used a false identity to interact with them, and now they don't know my true identity."

Scratching his head, Ying Zheng was quite confused about this kind of thing. He could feel that Zhuan Po Dei Hun also meant something to him, but he didn't know how to continue in terms of confession and confession.

They were even worried about whether the two of them would be angry if they knew their true identities.

"I'll make arrangements for you."

Zhao Ji, who probably guessed what was going on, thought about it for a while and took the matter.

In fact, there is nothing difficult to do. Since the son is too worried to speak, then he can slowly reveal some flaws and let the two girls notice, and then investigate and find out.

The two of them were born in the net and have been trained. Even if they major in killing people, they are definitely not bad at reconnaissance.

"Let the queen mother worry about it!"

He breathed a sigh of relief. Ying Zheng had been having a headache over this matter for a while. It would be much better if his mother helped him plan.

"What are they doing now?"

Zhao Ji wanted to know more about the two daughters-in-law, and she was very happy inside.

After the original interrogation, she never took care of her again or saw her again. She didn't expect that she would now become her daughter-in-law.

"They work in the Xianyang City Guards and lead a team of people to patrol an area in the city."

Ying Zheng replied that he naturally knew about the current jobs of his two girlfriends, and even often went to pick them up from get off work.

"Then they will be responsible for guarding the palace in the future."

Nodding, Zhao Ji was very satisfied with this and spoke professionally.

Just like the original Yingge, he was considered a killer himself. He knew the killer's methods very well, so he could naturally use this as a basis for countermeasures.

In comparison, Zhuanpo Dehun, who was born in Luowang, is definitely more professional.

"How did you get involved with both of them at the same time?"

If you are curious about this, you must know that love is selfish, and few people are willing to share their love, including biological sisters.

Of course, except for someone as majestic as a little man, that is not exclusive to anyone.

"They have a soul connection, and they don't want to be separated."

It's a bit embarrassing. Ying Zheng initially didn't expect the two of them to have that kind of ability, but this is probably the main reason why the two were selected by the trap and trained vigorously.

"That's not easy to separate."

Zhao Ji suddenly realized that it was indeed difficult to separate with such words, so she asked again.

"How did you fall in love with them? Love at first sight?"

"No, it was after communicating and understanding that I felt the same way. It felt somewhat similar to my previous experience, and then I gradually started to feel it."

Ying Zheng didn't hide anything and told his emotional experience. He couldn't tell the specific situation. He didn't know when the feeling came. It was only after he often thought about them that he realized that he might be tempted, and finally decided of. Zhao Ji asked a few more questions and had a general plan in mind.

Ying Zheng didn't stay long. After teasing his two younger brothers and sisters, he stood up and left.

He has many things to deal with, not only the war in the Peacock Kingdom, but also the projects in the Taihang Mountains.

"Old General, don't you want to go to the Peacock Kingdom?"

Seeing that Lian Po was still doing research on the terrain map of the Taihang Mountains, Ying Zheng walked over and asked with a smile.

This righteous daughter Lian Zhenke has already gone to lead the army to fight on the battlefield of Peacock Kingdom. With Wang Jian joining, Peacock Kingdom can barely serve as their military training ground for Great Qin.

It’s just that General Lian Po has been staring at the mountain relocation project in the Taihang Mountains, calculating day and night.

"That's the stage for the younger generation. Whatever an old guy like me wants to do, it's enough for Bai Qi to keep an eye on it."

Lian Po replied without raising his head, his eyes still staring at the topographic map of the Taihang Mountains.

The excavation of mountains and rivers is not that simple, not to mention that there will be plans to raise the entire land by Zhao, Wei and Qi later. This is a terrifying project that was unthinkable before.

If it weren't for the giant mechanism technique and the discovery of a large amount of mineral deposits overseas, especially the continent over the South China Sea, which allowed them to cast giant mechanisms on a large scale, it would be difficult to accomplish such a world-changing project.

At least this kind of project cannot be accomplished by human power alone.

"I heard before that the old general had a new plan."

Ying Zheng's eyes also fell on the terrain map. He had received a report a few days ago that Lian Po had a new plan, so he took the time to come over and take a look today.

"Your Majesty, please come with me!"

Lian Po gestured and walked towards the mechanical staircase. Ying Zheng lifted his heels and used the mechanical ladder to reach the [-]th floor, which was a space specially opened for Lian Po.

After the reconstruction, Xianyang City has changed a lot. The original wooden buildings have basically been abandoned and replaced with cement structures. This building alone is specially used to store various topographic maps. It has ninety-nine floors. The overall It is in the shape of a pointed cone, and the bottom layer is a hundred feet long and wide.

This saves a lot of space and can accommodate more.

The length and width of this floor are sixty-eight feet, which is not too small.

At this moment, a huge agency topographic map was placed in the [-]-foot-long and wide space. No one was standing there. Ying Zheng could only stand in the air with Lian Po, looking down at the huge topographic map.

Looking closely, he found that this was the terrain in the upper reaches of the Yellow River and the Taihang Mountains, including the Qinling Mountains, but Ying Zheng didn't understand what Lian Po was trying to demonstrate with this.

"The old minister feels that the previous plans were too conservative, and we need to make bolder changes."

Lian Po's first words stunned Ying Zheng, who looked confused.

Is it appropriate for you, an old general who is conservative and defensive, to say that our previous plan was too conservative?

"I have gone to the Western Regions and looked at the areas farther west. They all tend to be arid, and there are even large areas of desert.

The water flow required to transform it into farmland suitable for planting is unimaginable. The snow water in the highlands in the southwest alone is far from enough and too slow.

Therefore, the old minister conceived a bold plan to transport the water vapor from the East China Sea in stages.

First, use the terrain to block the upper reaches of the Yellow River and build a super giant dam to raise the Yellow River as a whole..."

While explaining his new ideas, Lian Po controlled the set mechanisms to change the terrain map. The mountains in the Taihang Mountains were sinking one after another, and a huge dam appeared on the Yellow River near Qin in South Korea. The actual scale It would probably be hundreds of miles long to get down.

Then the water poured in, directly flooding the Weihe River, forming an east-west inland sea.

Some huge dams have also been raised in other sections of the Yellow River, greatly raising the water level of the Yellow River.

In the past, the dam project designed by Tian Hao only raised the river level by a dozen meters, but now Lian Po's plan is to raise the river level by hundreds of meters, which will submerge hundreds of miles of land on both sides of the river bank, thus forming a multi-stage inland sea.

Seeing the city that marked Xianyang being submerged by the water, even Ying Zheng's state of mind could not help but twitch the corners of his eyes, and he didn't know how to evaluate the old general's new ideas.

Crazy is not enough to describe it.

"What the old general means is to store water here first, and then dig rivers to transfer the raised water to the Western Region?"

After the shock, I thought about it carefully and felt that it was feasible.

As for the flooded area, it is nothing. Qin State now has a vast territory, and there are many areas suitable for farming.

Not to mention the Peacock Kingdom that is about to be conquered, the land there is suitable for farming.

So just move people away from the flooded area, and compared with this loss, the benefits of this plan are huge.

It's hard to say about the Western Region, but the rainfall within a thousand-mile radius will definitely be greatly increased, and many arid areas can also be used for planting.

"There is also the transportation of water vapor. We can use the power of the World Cauldron Array to guide the direction of the wind and use the wind to blow the water vapor to the Western Region. It is best to transform the entire large desert in the Western Region into an inland sea, so that the entire Western Region will be changed. , the desert will also become fertile soil.”

After talking about his plan, Lian Po felt satisfied. This would not only change the flood disaster in Zhao State, but also transform the entire Western Region. It was much more efficient than digging rivers in the highlands in the southwest before.

Zhao State is located in the north, but the southeast side is close to the Yellow River. It has been flooded many times and many places have been flooded. He even experienced it once, and he still remembers it.

So after learning about the mountain relocation project in the Taihang Mountains, I focused on this.

This is much more meaningful than fighting.

"This plan is feasible, but it must first hollow out all the minerals in the submerged area, as well as the sand. Various buildings require a large amount of sand and gravel."

After carefully observing the entire terrain map again, Ying Zheng felt that it was very feasible and at least worth doing.

However, before doing so, all the minerals in the submerged area must be excavated, and the desert sand and gravel on both sides of the Yellow River must not be missed.

Most of them are made of river sand and are very suitable for use as building materials.

Although there is a lot of sand in the desert, the effect of that kind of sand is far less than that of river sand.

"Not only sand, but soil is also a precious resource. By digging out the entire land there and moving it, we can dig deeper into the river bed and store more water."

Lian Po was even more ruthless. He had learned about many things in the past few years, including farming, and knew that land suitable for farming was very precious.

The land on both sides of the Yellow River cannot be wasted, it must be dug up entirely.

"The amount of work to be transported purely by machine vehicles is too large. We must first dig out some inland rivers, divert the water from the Yellow River, and use river transportation for transportation."

After thinking about it, Ying Zheng decided to do it step by step.

Although there are now a large number of meteorite materials to make the power core of the mechanism, and can even draw the vitality of heaven and earth as an energy source, it is not unlimited.

Moreover, the movement of the mechanism, especially the movement of the giant mechanism, will inevitably cause wear and tear, and it is impossible to keep running, which will greatly increase the cost.

A single giant mechanism doesn't matter, but once the number increases, it's astonishing.

If you can save money in this aspect, river transportation is the most cost-effective.

Even the plan to move the Taihang Mountains is mainly based on river transportation. Not only the current Yellow River, but also plans to dig some tributaries from the Yellow River to extend into the Taihang Mountains.

And a large north-south river will be dug in the middle of the Taihang Mountains to provide comprehensive transportation.

"So the Yellow River reconstruction plan has to be abandoned."

Looking at the Yellow River that was flooded in multiple stages, Ying Zheng agreed with this plan. Compared to their previous plans, it was indeed too conservative.

"Okay, let's move the capital to Longxi."

Turning his attention to Longxi, Ying Zheng had no regrets about Xianyang being submerged. Their previous core point was on Longxi, connecting the Western Regions of Bashu and the Southwest Highlands, but now they only have one more old land of the Qin Kingdom.

Anyway, it will be very convenient if the Yellow River and the Weishui River are connected.

Well, maybe they will be called the Yellow Sea and the Weihai Sea in the future.

"We need more steel to cast giant mechanisms, and we need to increase the development of the continent in the South China Sea."

Lian Po knew very well how large the project volume was. It was even larger than the mountain-moving project in the Taihang Mountains, and the huge engineering machinery required was also quite astonishing.

Casting giant mechanisms requires a large amount of steel, and the few iron mines in Bashu alone are not enough. It has to be shipped from overseas continents.

"We need to build a large-scale iron smelting plant there and do some preliminary refining."

Ying Zheng agreed with this. This indeed requires an exaggerated amount of steel. The current iron ore within the Qin State alone is far from enough, and it must be obtained from outside.

Moreover, shipping by sea can also reduce transportation costs, making it more cost-effective.

At the same time, the exploration of other overseas continents must also be accelerated. Machinery is a major foundation of their Great Qin, which requires a huge amount of steel to support it.

Well, it seems that the basin in Bashu can be done in this way and turned into an inland sea, but it will have to wait until all the mines in it are dug out.
