The world started by Daqin Mingyue

Chapter 185
It's a rainy season, and in a rainy season, water becomes something that's hard to miss.

Yingzheng has a deep understanding of this point, but when he caught a fish called a startled salamander, and because this fish understood the moisture of water and was happy for it, the water gave him another blow. It made the king of Qin understand one thing: it is not only the startled salamander that has water, but also the world.

But the water in this world will not be so gentle, but a force that can destroy anything.

Under the candlelight, Ying Zheng, who was only wearing unlined clothing, looked at the bamboo slips in his hand, his face became more cloudy and uncertain under the flickering lights.

A section of the Great Wall under construction in the northern border was destroyed by mountain torrents, and more than [-] soldiers from the former South Korea who were building the Great Wall, which is now the Qin State Infrastructure Corps, died in the torrents.

Ying Zheng, who was quickly analyzing the information in the intelligence in his mind, slowly closed his eyes. The casualties of the personnel were nothing at all, and the cost of more than [-] people was not high, but the section that was destroyed by the dozens of miles in the Building the Great Wall will seriously affect Yingzheng's future plans.

The Great Wall has one more person in later generations. This was built by the first emperor after he unified the world, but the fact is that throughout the Warring States period, Qin, Zhao, Yanqi, and even Chu would build the Great Wall in key places, and the first emperor built it The Great Wall of China is just connecting the Great Wall of Qin, Zhaoyan and Three Kingdoms.

And what Yingzheng is doing at this time is to integrate the Great Walls of Qin and Zhao into one. Since Yingzheng acquired the Daijun of Yanmen County in the northern border of Zhao State two years ago, he has been working on this matter, and According to his plan, the Great Wall linking Shang County and Yanmen County will be completely completed early next year, but a flash flood pushed this time back.

Ying Zheng, with an uneasy expression on his face, put down the bamboo slips, walked up to the startled salamander who was about to get up, and pressed her shoulders before she had time to put on her unlined clothes.

"Go to sleep." Ying Zheng pushed it back to the territory that originally belonged to the startled salamander, his eyes stayed on the scroll of bamboo slips for a moment, and he lay down on the bed under the curtain again.

The startled salamander looked at Ying Zheng beside him, a trace of hesitation flashed in his eyes, but he still didn't ask, but put his body in Ying Zheng's arms, fixed his arms between the brackets in front of him, and firmly She hugged her tightly, then closed her eyes, and soon fell into a deep sleep, she was a little tired.

In the evening of the next day, the military report from Shangjun also reached Xianyang, and the prime minister's mansion, which was in charge of the construction of the Great Wall in the north, also got the news at the same time. Another wave.

"Your Majesty, the Great Wall in the north has been washed away for tens of miles. If you want to complete the work within the set time, you have to continue to conscript labor, but if you do this, you may cause people's resentment." Today, one of the Nine Ministers of the Great Qin Dynasty, who lives in the court Xiong Qiyue, the ruler of Changping, who was in office, passed the general supervisor Zhenggong beside him and said that he lost his hatred.

Ying Zheng glanced at his brother-in-law calmly, didn't say anything, but looked at Lu Buwei, and asked, "Based on Xiangguo's estimation, how much more people will be needed if we want to finish the project by the beginning of next year?" ?”

"Reporting to Your Majesty, according to the people's power used before, it should cost [-]." Lu Buwei said without hesitation.

Before coming to Xianyang Palace, he had already prepared the answers to the questions Ying Zheng might ask, so when Ying Zheng asked him this number, Lu Buwei didn't need to think too much at all.

"Twenty thousand?" Ying Zheng pondered over this number, thinking about the current internal situation of Qin State in his mind.

Zheng Guoqu, Zhidao, the Great Wall, and even the decisive battle against Zhao next year all need people. How to use the power of the people as much as possible without delaying Qin's farming affairs has become the biggest challenge before Yingzheng. question.

And Gongshuchou looked at the three people with different performances in front of him. Because he had been in a high position all these years but was widely accepted by his disciples, he had diluted a lot of the vicious aura in his body, and his face, which seemed to have a bit of dignity, was expressionless at this time. .

Regarding these major national affairs, he would not want to participate. Of course, these are not things he wants to think about. To ask his opinion on this matter, Ying Zheng summoned him here only to ask him about the improvement of the equipment, which he knew very well.

"It's doable," Ying Zheng said.

"Mr. Gongshu, if Gu remembers correctly, the disciple of Gongshu is about to finish his studies, right?" Ying Zheng turned his head and asked Gongshuchou.

"Report to Your Majesty, after three months, those disciples will be able to leave the teacher." Gong Shuchou said solemnly.

"There's no need to wait until three months later, they've learned enough from the slips, and it's time to do it," Ying Zheng said.

"Does Your Majesty mean that these disciples who are about to finish their studies are sent to the north to build the Great Wall?" Gongshuchou mobilized his wisdom to answer.

Letting the disciples he cultivated by himself do what only civilian husbands can do, if it is other people, he will not be willing, but the public defeat is an exception.

Although those disciples were taught by him personally, as mass-produced disciples, his feelings are not as fraternal as they are. What's more, learning mechanism skills is more about using hands than brains.

"Exactly." Ying Zheng said.

"They are the king's subjects first, and the public loser's disciples second. If the king has orders, there is no reason to disrespect them." Gongshuqiu said without any burden.

"Then Mr. Gongshu will lead the team." Yingzheng is very satisfied with Gongshuchou's answer. If people from all schools can think like this, things will be much easier in the future. Unfortunately, there are too few Gongshuchou.

"No." Gongshuchou blinked his eyes, unable to think of a reason, but still gave a very sensible answer.

"Most of the soldiers who died in the mountain torrents were the people of Yingchuan and Nanyang. Although they were not killed in battle, they died for the great cause of our Qin State. Therefore, we must do a good job in dealing with their aftermath. I don't know Xiangguo and Changping. Do you have a suitable candidate?" Ying Zheng asked.

"Jun Changping is most suitable for this matter." Lu Buwei replied.

Mr. Changping was caught off guard by Lu Buwei's surprise attack, but he didn't show any surprise on the surface, but replied calmly: "If the king has an order, I will die."

"Then Mr. Changping is in charge of this matter." Ying Zheng finally said.

Now that a decision has been made, the three of Lu Buwei are naturally not suitable to stay in the palace for a long time, but after walking out of the main hall, Lu Buwei did not leave, but turned back to the main hall.

"Your Majesty, although I know that your Majesty is far-sighted and not someone like me can figure it out, but regarding the Great Wall, I am really confused. Why, Your Majesty, spend so much money and resources on repairing the Great Wall at this time? It's not my Daqin's confidant's trouble." Lu Buwei said hesitantly.

The Great Wall is useful, but it is not worth spending so much experience to build it at this time. This is Lu Buwei's cognition, but I don't believe Yingzheng can't think of this, but Lu Buwei is still curious.

"If someone asked, Gu would naturally not tell him the answer, but you, Xiangguo, are an exception." Ying Zheng looked at the curious Lu Buwei in front of him and said.

In Lu Buwei's expectation, Ying Zheng continued: "The Great Wall is not just a wall for defense, it can also be a road for offense."
