Daqin: Prince Peerless, guarding Hangu for ten years!

Chapter 430 Found the source of water

Just when Yan was planning to assassinate Ying Jun.

Dian Wei also found water sources from the grasslands to solve Zhao's drought problem.

The system of prefectures and counties recommended by Yingjun in Zhao State was also in progress at the same time.

In the side hall of Daijun.

Ying Jun had just finished looking through the list of personnel sent by Qin State to take charge of various counties and counties in Zhao State.

As for the major counties within the territory, except for the smooth election of the counties under Lu Buwei's jurisdiction, officials in other counties have more or less encountered some troubles when electing the county system.

It has to be said that Lu Buwei's mind was indeed capable of serving as prime minister at that time. It is no wonder that the first emperor trusted him so much.

With Lu Buwei here, I believe that the system of prefectures and counties will soon be extended to all parts of the country.

As for Qin, Yingjun received news from Jia Xu on horseback yesterday.

Although the King of Qin did not agree to recommend the system of prefectures and counties in the Qin State, he allocated one hundred thousand silver coins to him and said that he would make up for the losses of the Qin army's soldiers in this battle.

From this move, Yingjun could roughly guess what King Qin was thinking.

Even if the King of Qin is unwilling to recommend the system of prefectures and counties now, it will not take long before Zhao State succeeds in the election. Qin will still have to face a change. The election of the system of prefectures and counties cannot be changed, and only by implementing the system of prefectures and counties can the state of Qin Qin became stronger and more united.

Although funds for water conservancy construction are now available, building water conservancy fortifications still requires a lot of manpower. If this problem is not solved, even if the water source is found, the drought problem will not be solved in a short time.

After all, when the First Emperor built the water conservancy project, it took several years.

And he didn't want to wait so long, not to mention that the system gave him only one year to unify the six countries, and now three months have passed.

It's time to speed up the pace of unifying the six countries!

At this moment, Zhao Yun walked in from outside the palace door, saluted to Yingjun and said respectfully: "My lord, after these days of recruitment, there are only less than 5 people in the entire territory who have responded."

Speaking of this, Zhao Yun's face suddenly became serious, and he said with some worry: "If we want to build a canal from the grassland to all parts of the Zhao Kingdom, I am afraid that these 5 people alone will not be enough!"

Yingjun naturally knew this, but how much manpower would be needed and how much money would be spent would have to wait until Zheng Guo and his party came to Zhao Guo to understand the situation before they could formulate a specific plan.

Then he turned to Zhao Yun and asked, "Except for the [-] people who volunteered to be summoned, how many people are left in the territory now? How many soldiers are there in our Qin State?"

Seeing Yingjun's question, Zhao Yun immediately responded directly: "The Qin army has 25 soldiers, but there are only more than [-] Zhao people available in the territory. The remaining Zhao people are either sick, or the elderly, children, etc. are unable to contribute. man of."

Yingjun nodded thoughtfully.

Even if all [-] Zhao people were recruited, it would still not be enough.

"General Zhao, go and issue a notice to all countries, saying that I will recruit people from all countries. Anyone who registers for entry will receive a reward of ten guan. In addition, those who help build water conservancy projects will be given half a stone of food every day."

Now only by calling in people from other countries can the manpower problem be solved.When Zhao Yun heard this, he looked at Ying Jun with a puzzled face and said in a deep voice: "My lord, the people can only eat three measures of rice at most every day. If we give half a stone of food to the people who are summoned every day, I’m afraid the food in our hands won’t last long.”

"Besides, an offensive will be launched against Wei and South Korea soon. If there is not enough food and grass to support it, it may affect the morale of the officers and soldiers."

Ying Jun looked at him with an indifferent expression and asked in a loud voice: "Isn't Qin's first harvest going to be good soon?"

Zhao Yun nodded: "The autumn harvest will be here in another half month."

As he spoke, a ray of light suddenly lit up in his eyes, and he looked at Yingjun: "My lord means to use..."

Before he could finish speaking, Yingjun nodded directly and said: "Yes, with this batch of grain from Qin State, it is enough for the people in these areas to solve the problem of food and clothing while also carrying out water conservancy projects."

"Besides, the high-yielding crops previously planted on the Wuwei County land will be harvested soon."

"As long as these high-yielding crops are harvested, it will be enough to solve Qin's food shortage problem."

While the two were talking, there was a rush of footsteps outside the palace door.

Tapping.

Immediately afterwards, Dian Wei ran in from the palace sweating profusely. He came to Yingjun and bowed with his hands in front of Yingjun. He panted and said, "My lord... my lord, the water... the water source has been found!"

As he spoke, Dian Wei immediately took out a sheepskin map from his arms and handed it to Yingjun.

Yingjun took the parchment roll in his hand, opened the seal on it, and looked at it.

On the topographic map of Zhao State and the grassland, a route has been clearly marked, which leads to the border of Zhao State, and the location of the water source is also marked on it.

After Dian Wei took a breath, he slowly stepped forward and said, "My lord, this route was marked out after I led people to explore it, and I deliberately bypassed those mountains."

Yingjun nodded happily, then put away the roll in his hand and put it on the table: "You have worked hard these days. Go back and have a good rest. I will have something to do with you tomorrow."

Dian Wei immediately raised his hands and saluted, "Yes, my lord!"

Zhao Yun, who was standing on the edge, suddenly remembered something. He quickly took out a list from his arms and handed it to Ying Jun. He quickly said: "My lord, this is the list you asked me to recruit from all over the world two days ago. List of people arriving."

"Less than two days after the news spread, thousands of people have already heard the news and come here, wanting to surrender to the lord."

Yingjun was a little surprised when he heard the news.

I didn’t expect that so many people would come just two days after the news was released!

If some time passes, I'm afraid more people will come.

However, among these people, there are also some who fish in troubled waters and try their luck!
It seems that we need to find someone to choose!
