Back to Daqin to be Emperor

Chapter 216 Aqueduct Planning
In a mansion in Jiujiang County, Ying Zheng was reviewing official documents in his hand, without raising his eyes, he asked, "Has the harness been shipped to Jiuyuan?"

Han Tan immediately bowed and replied: "Your Majesty, everything is going according to plan, and there will be no mistakes."

Ying Zheng nodded, but kept writing in his hand, and continued to ask, "What has Fusu been doing in Jiujiang County these past two days?"

"Mr. Fusu has not been in the prefect's mansion for the past few days. He took some people to many mountains in Jiujiang County. According to reports, Mr. Fusu seems to want to build water conservancy channels in Jiujiang."

"In addition, Mr. Fusu sent an urgent report to Xianyang, intending to build a new army in Jiujiang County."

Ying Zheng glanced at Han Tan suddenly, put the brush in his hand on the pen holder, and said, "Didn't the New Army be established at the suggestion of him and Yingbo?"

Han Tan clasped his hands and said, "Looking at the meaning in the urgent report, this army is different from the general army. It is called the Tunnel Camp, and it is specially used to open the way for the army to march."

"What does he mean is to build water conservancy in Jiujiang County, and then use it to train such an army?" Ying Zheng received the urgent report from Han Tan, and a look of surprise appeared on his face when he saw the end.

"Master Fusu has indeed changed a lot compared to before."

Yingzheng didn't respond, Han Tan asked, "Will the imperial court allocate some funds for the construction of water conservancy projects in Jiujiang County?"

Ying Zheng shook his head, and said, "This urgent report didn't explain it, so I think he should have a solution."

Han Tan thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty, a few days ago, Wu Rui, the newly appointed governor of Jiujiang County, confiscated many property belonging to aristocratic families in Jiujiang County, and General Yingbu also sealed up many temples and dojos in Jiujiang County. , Master Fusu wants to use this money?"

When Han Tan said this, Yingzheng suddenly realized that after confiscating so many property, there was really no need for the court to allocate additional funds.

"Let him do the things in Jiujiang County by himself." After ordering, Ying Zheng stood in front of the window with his hands behind his back.

Looking at the sky in the distance, Yingzheng knew that a storm was coming, and even Yingzheng was not very clear about the way ahead.

"Fusu, I hope you don't let Daqin down, otherwise I..."

In the county guard's mansion, Fusu looked at the old man Han Bai in front of him, cupped his hands and said, "Water engineering order, what's the result of the exploration?"

Han Bai took out the map from his sleeve, spread it on the desk, and said, "My lord, this is the water guide map I drew."

Fusu looked at the water guide map in front of him, not quite understanding, and said, "Sir, please explain."

Han Baidao: "When the teacher taught me back then, he once said that mountains have veins and water has meridians. As long as the meridians are unobstructed, the flow of water can flow unimpeded. Wherever there is a dead point, it needs to be opened."

Han Bai drew several places on the map with his fingers, and said, "Master, these places need to build aqueducts, and the water flow needs to be collected here."

"But the farmland is above and the river is below. How can the water be poured into the farmland?"

"Young Master, please take a closer look. The place where the water flows is upstream, but it is far above the farmland. We only need to build a channel to divert water into the farmland."

"It's just that the distance here is a bit farther, and I'm afraid it will take a lot of manpower."

Fusu looked along Han Bai's hand, indeed, it was a small section on the map, but when converted to the actual distance, it was at least 100 miles away.This is already the longest canal in the Fusu project.

Suddenly, Fusu noticed the place Han Bai pointed out earlier, and asked, "Is this where the water flow is going to be diverted?"

Han Bai said: "That's right, only in this way can the water flow down the channel and irrigate the fields on both sides. The place the young master refers to is precisely the second problem. The water surface here is wide, and it is not easy to stop the water flow! "

Fusu frowned. The two projects that Han Bai mentioned alone took a lot of time, and time was second, but the manpower and material resources invested in it cannot be estimated.

But in the same way, Fusu can also see that once this canal is built, the benefits will be quite large.

After thinking for a while, Fusu said: "Can you burn the mountain rocks, causing the walls on both sides to burst and roll down? Then let people build a dam on it?"

After thinking for a while, Han Bai clasped his hands and said, "My lord, this method is feasible, but we need to pay attention, there must be no obstruction in it, otherwise, we will be the ones who will be drowned in the end."

After receiving Han Bai's affirmative answer, Fusu immediately came to the table, picked up a brush, quickly wrote on the paper, then sealed it in an envelope, and finally handed the letter to a soldier outside the door.

Fusu said: "This letter is personally handed over to the Captain of the Louchuan Navy, ordering him to bring the fire oil here immediately."

Fierce oil is the oil of the later generations, but it is not widely used at this time, even if it is used in war, it is limited. However, Fusu knows that most of the army has it.

Moreover, fierce fire oil is produced in the Qin State itself.

If your own method is feasible, you can save a lot of time and manpower and material resources spent here.

"Sir, I don't know who the teacher is?" Fusu was quite puzzled about this point.

"Li Bing, the former prefect of Shu County, is the tutor." Han Bai's words were full of pride.

It was said that Fu Su stayed where he was, Zhang Han picked out for him from the Shaofu, and came with him, just a random person is so big?

Because Li Bing built Dujiangyan in Shu County, he completely tamed the Minjiang River, although he was buried in his hometown after his death.However, in Shu County, the people are all grateful for Li Bing's kindness.

Even a temple was built for Li Bing and his son Li Erlang, which is the origin of Erwang Temple.It is also the original prototype of Erlang God in later generations.

Since ancient times, the ancestors of Zhu Xia have never treated meritorious officials lightly, especially those who have benefited all people in the world.

It is the highest honor to worship him as a god after death.Those who can get this kind of grace mostly have made great contributions to the people of Zhuxia.

Just like Li Bing, Bashu can become the land of abundance in the mouth of later generations, and Li Bing can be said to have contributed the most.

Fu Su suddenly realized that Zhang Han was already his own person, so naturally he would do everything for him. I am afraid that Han Bai's position in the Shaofu is not low, but Zhang Han still ordered him to follow him.

Seeing Fusu's appearance, Han Bai said: "Young master, you don't have to be like this. Han Bai is stupid, he just learned some superficial knowledge from his predecessor, and being able to be driven by you is really a blessing in Han Bai's life."

"And Han Bai would also like to thank you, Young Master, for giving me an excellent apprentice." Speaking of this, Han Bai could clearly feel the smile on Su Su's face.

Seeing the puzzled look on Fusu's face, Han Bai said: "Mixi has followed the minister to survey the terrain these days, and wants to follow the minister to practice hydraulic engineering. The minister has already agreed, and please ask the son to be a witness, can you?"

Hearing this, Fu Su immediately smiled and said: "Fu Su is willing to bear this testimony for Mr.
