"What a strange man!"

After Zheng Guo left, An Qisheng looked at Zheng Guo's back and sighed.

He is worthy of being the world-famous water engineer.

"He is actually a very pure person!" Yan Yan also said slowly.

"When I first met him, he had a lot of talent and ambition, but nowhere to display it. South Korea couldn't support his talent and didn't deserve it."

"So, I gave him a life-or-death strategy, and you saw the result. He went straight to Qin without any hesitation."

"He was not afraid of death. What he feared was that his talent would be buried and that the talent given by God would be wasted."

"So even though he knew that there were Shadow Secret Guards and Luowang assassins around him, he still dared to come to Bingzhou and go to Hetao."

An Qisheng nodded. There are not many pure people like him, but he deserves respect from everyone and deserves to be listed in the Wanjia Shengci.

When Hetao was established, Zheng's influence was no longer limited to Guanzhong. Thousands of families in the entire middle and upper reaches of the Yellow River would set up ancestral temples to worship him.

"Will Qin attack him?" An Qisheng was a little worried.

Even against such an obvious spy, he still used the same old tricks.

Will the Qin State really allow him to come to Bingzhou and help Bingzhou build the Hetao?

"The Qin State wants to kill him, but he can't even reach the Beiye Royal Court!" Yan Yan said with a smile.

If Ying Zheng wanted to kill Zheng Guo, he would have done it long ago and would not have allowed him to escape to Bingzhou.

No one would be willing to kill such a pure person.

And what Zheng State said was right. After the construction of the Hetao Plain, Bingzhou would probably not be able to launch wars against other countries in the next few years.

Just like the construction of the Zhengguo Canal by the Qin State, it was unable to launch wars against other countries for several years.

And this is what Qin hopes to see.

Because the Qin State had already established a firm foothold in the Han State and was able to move eastward, the next step was to move eastward in a large scale.

At this time, Qin did not want Bingzhou to have the energy to do other things.

"I can't sit idle this winter!" Yan Yan stretched lazily.

Bingzhou is now truly in a state of recovery with no more external threats.

In the next few years, Bingzhou will not launch any more wars against other countries, and I am afraid that no one from the Xiongnu, Donghu, or Dayuezhi will have the courage to provoke Bingzhou again.

Although Maodun was released back to the Xiongnu royal court, what good could it do to him?

Yan Yan has deployed many chess pieces among the Xiongnu.

For example, the tribal general of the Huns.

Moreover, Yan Yan didn't think that Maodun could develop faster than Bingzhou.

Therefore, Bingzhou issued a conscription order, recruiting 200,000 people to begin developing the Hetao Plain.

Counties and counties across the country also began to build county roads and established post stations modeled after the Qin State. At the same time, they built temporary supply points throughout the grassland and filled the grassland with landmarks.

Once the landmarks are established, the entire grassland will have a reference point, and people will no longer get lost and disoriented as easily as before.

The northern forces who received the news also breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, the threat posed by a Bingzhou carrying a hoe and a Bingzhou carrying weapons are completely of two different levels.

Qin was happy, Zhao was happy, and the Xiongnu, Donghu, and Dayuezhi were also happy.

A happy situation for everyone.

As for those who were desperate and tried to touch the tiger's whiskers in Bingzhou, the entire grassland, including the State of Zhao, was frightened.

Maodun also understood very well, and directly sent his wife to the Beiye Royal Court, indicating that he had no ulterior motives and was willing to obey Bingzhou's orders. "Finally, I can farm well!"

At the court meeting, Yan Yan said to the civil and military officials with a smile.

Since the establishment of Bingzhou, the country has been either at war or on the way to war, and both the soldiers and the people are tired.

It's time to put down your weapons and work hard to farm and support your family.

Dian Qing was also smiling. This was the prosperous situation he most hoped to see.

They finally waited for this day.

"The next stage will be handed over to the Qin State. Bingzhou has attracted the world's attention for too long!" An Qisheng also said with a smile.

As a qualified Taoist disciple, what he wants is actually very simple, that is, to farm and practice Taoism, to improve himself, and to create a prosperous world.

If anyone disturbs my cultivation, I'm sorry, but I know a little bit about martial arts!
Therefore, the entire Bingzhou was instantly transformed from a war machine into an agricultural tool, and everyone, from the king to the common people, began to work hard in the fields, plant trees, have children, and build cities.

As a result, Bingzhou had only a dozen cities, but the number increased rapidly. One city after another sprang up and spread across the entire grassland.

They opened up fields, established well-fields, and reclaimed wasteland on a large scale.

Farmlands began to appear, and the grassland was no longer as desolate and cold as it once was.

Where there is water, there are people; where there are people, there are roads and villages.

Only a small number of tribes still maintain nomadic life.

Most of the people also moved to the newly built city.

In the autumn of the following year, Bingzhou had two happy events: Shao Siming and Yan Lingji gave birth to a son and a daughter respectively, which meant that Bingzhou had a successor.

The court officials finally felt relieved.

The biggest thing that happened between Qin and Bingzhou in the past two years was that, after repeated negotiations, Qin and Bingzhou finally decided to use "Shuowen Jiezi" as the unified writing standard and to use official script as the standard characters.

In terms of weights and measures, they also used Qin's weights and measures as the standard for mutual transactions.

In terms of currency, the two countries also unified the master version, minted copper coins based on the Taoist concept of the round earth and square sky, prohibited private minting by the public, and set standards for the weight, thickness, diameter, and quality of the copper coins.

The unification of characters was due to the fact that Meng Tian invented the writing brush by using wolf howls. In addition, with the emergence of paper, the easier-to-write official script became the mainstream.

Even the Qin State, which was in the most need of reform, had no objection to this.

After all, in this strategic cooperation between the two countries, it was Qin that mostly accommodated China, and Qin had no objection to the concessions made in writing.

Even in terms of laws, the two countries learn from each other and can share them.

Simply put, anything that is illegal in Qin is also illegal in Bingzhou.

The laws of the two countries are also highly consistent.

The two countries even frequently send officials to each other to learn from each other.

The harmony between Qin and Bing exceeded the imagination of all the princes.

Originally, other princes wanted to sow discord between Qin and Bingzhou and make Qin and Bingzhou go to war. However, after the joint statement of the Qin and Bing alliance was issued, all countries knew that a war between Qin and Bingzhou could not be provoked.

The two countries are like brothers wearing the same pants.

In particular, Fusu, the eldest prince of Qin, lived directly in the palace of Beiye Wangting and was taught by the descendants of Bingzhou. The eldest princess of Bingzhou also ran to Qin and lived in Qinian Palace. She was carried to court by King Zheng of Qin several times.

With this kind of relationship, who can sow discord between them?

Rather than trusting Qin and going to war, it is better to pray that Qin will be defeated and return in disgrace.

In the spring of the third year, the Qin State, which had been recuperating for three years, finally showed its fangs. Its army was stationed in Yewang and Shangdang, ready to attack the Zhao State at any time.
