Da Qin: Self-destruction and time travel, I will extend my life for Qin for a thousand years

On the third day, twelve thousand birds were delivered.

On the fourth day, eighteen thousand were delivered.

On the fifth day, thirty-nine thousand were delivered.

……

When ten days passed, the entire Kanto region had sent nearly [-] lively birds to Handan County!

The fields that were covered by countless locusts half a month ago are now full of fluttering birds, frantically hunting for locusts everywhere.
  And every one of them has gained a lot of weight, some are even so fat that they can’t walk!

One can imagine how nourishing their life has been these days, and they are almost going to heaven!
  Similarly, the people in Handan County also had smiles on their faces for the first time in a long time. Many even cried with excitement after looking at the clean fields again.

Although this natural disaster has destroyed more than [-]% of the farmland in Handan County.

But if it were in the past, everything would be destroyed, and the food harvest would be cut off for an entire quarter!

There are still [-]% left, and the harvest has not been completely eliminated. It is enough to make the people of Handan County cry with excitement and find it difficult to control themselves!
  This disaster caused heavy losses to Handan County and displaced countless people, but in the end they survived!

Countless people were so excited that they expressed their gratitude to His Majesty and Cui Yuan for personally providing disaster relief and saving Handan County.

The reputations of Aiwu and Wuxia, as well as Guo Li, who had been despised for many years in Handan County, have also improved a lot.

Although it is not a complete turnaround, at least he has gained prestige, and no one takes him as seriously as before.

……

Handan County, the former royal palace of Zhao State.

Cui Yuan, who is one of the people who are grateful to the people, is busy making plans at the moment.

He planned to take advantage of this natural disaster to re-plan and transform the industrial layout of Handan County.

As the core of the former Zhao State, Handan is rich in various natural resources, especially coal resources.

In the past, most of these mining areas were farmland and were inconvenient for mining.

Now after the locust disaster, all these farmlands have been destroyed. Although it can be replanted, the fertility of the land is definitely not as good as before.

In this case, it is better to transform it directly into an industrial area!

Anyway, now that we have sweet potatoes and use waterwheels to open up a lot of land, there is no shortage of arable land in Handan!

And Cui Yuan has not forgotten that there is an extremely important resource underground in Handan - anthracite!

People in this era would not burn coal in winter, they would burn charcoal, because burning ordinary coal would release a large amount of toxic gases.

They can kill people unconsciously, so many people would rather freeze to death in winter than burn coal at home.

The difference between anthracite and ordinary coal is that it burns with almost no smoke and toxic gases!
  It can be said that anthracite was the top fetish of the feudal era!

If it had existed two years ago, the once-in-a-hundred-year cold disaster wouldn't have been so difficult.

What the people of Handan County now want is to keep [-]% of their farmland.

Cui Yuan thought even further. He wanted Handan to be completely reborn after this disaster!
  Develop industry with the help of coal resources and sell anthracite coal at the same time.

It not only helps the people of Daqin survive the winter, but also makes the people of Handan County rich and prepares them for the establishment of schools in the future.

Over the past few days, he has completed [-]% of the layout. After a few more days of busy work, he will be completely finished and let his men go to work.

"Your Highness, King Qin, I have something to ask for!"

Outside the door, a familiar voice slowly sounded.

"Come in, the door is unlocked."

Cui Yuan raised his head in confusion, looked at Guo Li who walked in and said confusedly: "What's the matter, but something unexpected happened during the disaster relief?"

Guo Li is now responsible for the entire disaster relief in Handan City. If he is not busy with work and suddenly comes to see him, could it be that some new situation has arisen?
  "No! No!"

Guo Li quickly shook his head and denied that the accident happened.

It can be said that Cui Yuan has paved all the roads for him in this disaster relief. If he can't even do this, he can go home and find a piece of tofu and be killed directly.

"I came to His Highness the King of Qin because His Highness the King of Qin asked me to investigate whether there were any outsiders in the past six months. I have some clues."

"Oh!"

Cui Yuan stopped what he was doing and his eyes lit up slightly.

Because Guo Li was the governor of Handan County, Cui Yuan asked Guo Li to pay attention to it after giving this task to Dun Ruo.

But essentially, he didn't have much hope.

After all, disaster relief and patrol alone have already kept Guo Li busy. He doesn't even have time to sleep. How can he still have time to help him investigate outsiders?
  And these things, to put it this way, are more professional than weak.

Unexpectedly, I have actually gained something now!

"What's the news? Come on, tell me!"

Guo Li looked serious and said immediately: "Yesterday, when I was patrolling with my identity hidden, I caught a corrupt official who bullied the people in the east of the city and ransacked his home."

"I originally thought this was an ordinary arrest, but I found a large amount of straw with dead locust eggs attached to it in a separate warehouse outside his home!"

"It can be confirmed that that is one of the starting points for the initial breeding outbreak of locusts!"

"And according to what the corrupt official said, he rented this warehouse to a traveling businessman from Lingnan County for a year and never entered it."

"If we hadn't come to search, he wouldn't have known there were so many locust eggs inside!"

Lingnan County?
  Cui Yuan bit his lips slightly and fell into deep thought.

He previously speculated that the desert locusts landed in Daqin from Xiangjun, and Lingnan County was right next door to Xiangjun. The two were almost integrated, and both were the territory of Daqin's southern army.

"Is it possible that the person hid his identity?"

"It shouldn't be possible."

Hearing Cui Yuan's inquiry, Guo Li shook his head: "According to the corrupt official's confession, that person took out the test report, and his accent was not a Guandong accent."

Because of the coexistence of the Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period, the accents in various regions vary greatly.

Ordinary businessmen simply don't have the ability to conceal their origins, that's why Guo Li is so sure.

"His Royal Highness King Qin!"

"I request that I go with you to Lingnan County to arrest the people behind the scenes and give an explanation to the countless suffering people inside and outside Handan County!"

After saying that, Guo Li directly bowed and requested.

Cui Yuan was stunned, and then looked at Guo Li with a strange expression.

At this moment, he is no longer the political novice he was before. He clearly understands the meaning of Guo Li's move. He just tastes the sweetness, so he follows him.

However, his Qin State is now somewhat short of talents, and Guo Li is indeed somewhat capable.

These days, even without him being present, he can still manage the entire Handan County in an orderly manner. I don’t know what surprises I will encounter on this trip to Lingnan County. One more person can give me more strength.

"It's no use begging me."

"You are the governor of Handan County. If you want to leave your post, you need His Majesty's permission."

Cui Yuan looked at the slightly disappointed Guo Li and added with a smile: "But if His Majesty agrees, then it doesn't hurt to take you there."

Guo Li was stunned for a moment, and then thanked him excitedly: "Thank you so much, His Highness King Qin!!!"

Although Cui Yuan did not agree directly, this reply was no different from a direct agreement!

Guo Li was excited. Now he could be regarded as leaping into the sky, completely getting rid of the shackles of his birth.

That night, Cui Yuan took Guo Li to find Ying Zheng, told him about Guo Li's investigation results, and planned to leave for Lingnan County.

"You made the right decision."

"Da Qin really has to investigate this kind of thing himself, and he won't be at ease if it is left to others."

Ying Zheng thought for a moment, and then said: "There is no problem for Guo Li to leave Handan County temporarily. The situation has indeed stabilized now, and he can also work on the road through messenger."

"In addition, I also want to go to Lingnan County together."

"Your Majesty is also going?" Cui Yuan was surprised: "Why? Your Majesty, wouldn't it be better for you to stay here and take charge of the overall situation?"

It's okay for Guo Li to leave. If His Majesty also leaves, there will be no one in charge of Handan County.

"It doesn't matter, isn't there Li Shimin?"

Ying Zheng smiled and said: "And compared to his ability to control locust plagues, he has much more experience than me."

"but……"

"Don't say it. The reason why I want to go to Lingnan County is not to have fun. Even the investigation is not the main thing I want to do. I want to meet those old friends."

As he said that, Ying Zheng's eyes showed some reminiscence and deep meaning: "Time flies, I haven't seen them for decades."

"If I don't go see him this time, I'm afraid I won't see him again."

Cui Yuan wanted to say something else, but seeing Ying Zheng's appearance, he couldn't continue.

He always felt that there was something in Brother Zheng's words, but he couldn't understand it for a while.

Everyone made preparations, and four days later, after Cui Yuan completely completed the deployment of Handan County, everyone set off.

Ying Yinman and Yin Gaofeng also followed Cui Yuan, leaving only Li Shimin and Cui Yuan's planning plan in Handan County.

In response to this, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty rolled his eyes.

I originally thought that I could have a good time when I came to Daqin this time, but I didn't expect that I would always be treated as a tool.

Or presiding over the industrial transformation of a county, mining some anthracite coal. Although I don't understand what this means, I feel it is very troublesome at first glance.

But he just complained in his heart, looking at the people around him who were tortured by the locust plague, his eyes were complicated.

"Sure enough, no matter what era."

"The most miserable people in the world are the common people!"

"Forget it, let's warm up this old bone in front of you!"

……

Lingnan County, in an inconspicuous small bungalow.

Several men with gray temples were gathered around a round table, discussing matters.

Judging from the accent, some of them are from Guannai and some from Guandong, but they all have more or less a hint of Lingnan County.

There are eight of them in total, and they are all the commanders of the Great Qin’s Southern Army!
  After Qin Shi Huang unified the six kingdoms, he began to pacify the Baiyue land in the Lingnan region and completely realize the unification of China.

In order to achieve this goal, Da Qin brazenly launched the Battle of Lingnan.

In the twenty-eighth year of the First Emperor's reign, Qin Shihuang believed that all aspects were sufficient to win the government, so he sent Tu Sui as the chief general and Zhao Tuo as the deputy general to lead an army of [-] men.

Divide the troops into five groups and pacify Lingnan!
  One army defends the ridge of Tancheng, the other defends the Jiuyi fortress, the first army is at the capital of Panyu, the second army guards the boundary of Nanye, the third army gathers the remaining rivers, divides the troops into five groups, and pacifies Lingnan!
  At the beginning of the Southern Expedition, Da Qin's army did gain a lot of advantages, successfully occupied the South Vietnam area around Panyu, and left troops to garrison it.

However, as the war continued, the resistance of the local Yue people became more and more fierce. Although the Qin Dynasty finally killed the leader of the Xiou tribe "Yi Xu Song", the three-year campaign was still forced to fail, and even the general Tu Sui was forced to fail. Killed in the war.

Immediately, knowing that he could not win in a short time, Ying Zheng established Lingnan County in Panyu and appointed Ren Xiao as the commander-in-chief of the county. He was in charge of the politics, military, and supervision of the county, and governed Panyu, Longchuan, Boluo, and Sihui. four counties.

Among them, the geographical location and military value of Longchuan were extremely important, so Zhao Tuo was appointed as the magistrate of Longchuan County.

Over the years, Zhao Tuo built a city in Longchuan and opened up land for his administration. It not only tried to prevent the Vietnamese from resisting, but also tried its best to appease the local people.

He persuaded the soldiers to raise their children locally and promoted the assimilation of the Central Plains people and the Lingnan people; he also wrote to the First Emperor requesting that the Central Plains residents be sent to move to South Vietnam to spread the Central Plains culture, which indeed made great contributions to Lingnan.

It can be said that although Lingnan County is a county of Da Qin, in fact, Zhao Tuo and Ren Xiao are the uncrowned emperors here, and all the conquering southern troops obey their orders.

"Speaking of General Ren this time, why did General Zhao suddenly summon all of us here? Do you have any news from your colleagues?"

"No, I don't know anyway."

"Who can know? This kind of sudden summons has only happened two or three times in the more than ten years since I came to Lingnan."

"Indeed, the last time we were summoned so suddenly, it seems that it was because Tu Sui died in battle and General Ren succeeded him."

Everyone was talking about why Zhao Tuo and Ren Xiao suddenly asked them to come over.

Murphy, is there any new order from the imperial court?
  Everyone speculated, but not long after, with the sound of footsteps, they quickly became quiet.

Then, as the figure appeared, they all instinctively bent down.

"I've met General Zhao, I've met General Ren!"

"No need to be polite!"

"Get up!"

Zhao Tuo and Ren Xiao agreed casually, then came to the first place in the center and sat down at the same time.

Although many of the people present were experienced in the battlefield, had killed countless people, and were used to seeing life and death, but facing these two people at this moment, they still couldn't help but tremble with fear.

In order to conquer the Lingnan region and defeat the poisonous insects, beasts and miasma here, these two generals have issued countless unprecedented cruel orders!

Why did the Yue people resist so fiercely?
  In addition to Da Qin being the invader, these two generals were also too cruel in their methods.

From ancient times to the present, the so-called national integration has been accompanied by countless bloodshed!

"Everyone, the reason why I suddenly summoned you here today is because the previous plan has unexpected circumstances."

"If we don't handle it well, we might all end up dead!"

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone present looked shocked! (End of chapter)
