Da Qin: Destroyed the Xiongnu at the beginning

In the thirty-seventh year of the First Emperor's reign, in the late third month of the lunar calendar, it was the time of Grain Rain.

The Grand Canal, which the entire Qin Dynasty had been waiting for for a long time, was finally officially opened to navigation.

Countless people spontaneously went to both sides of the canal to sing and dance to celebrate the completion of this artery connecting the south of the Yangtze River and the Central Plains.

With the continuous development of Daqin's commerce, Fusu's concept of"to get rich, build roads first" has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Even the most ordinary people understand that as long as the road is in front of them, it means business opportunities are coming.

As for the Grand Canal, a super canal that connects several water systems and has more than 5,000 miles of man-made rivers. It can go from Xianyang City to Kuaiji and enter the sea. No one can calculate how many business opportunities it contains.

Just since the construction of the Grand Canal, hundreds of counties and countless towns have been added on both sides of the canal. We can know the economic boost of the Grand Canal.

Countless people are rejoicing and celebrating the arrival of another opportunity for Great Qin to take off.

Fusu also took Meng Yi and others who were left behind to the Weishui River to see off Ying Zheng's east patrol fleet.

"This Grand Canal, to me, Da Qin, is a golden avenue on the water."

Seeing that the Xianyang Port has been crowded with fleets just after it was opened, Shi Teng, the new Minister of Household Affairs, couldn't help but sigh. He also admired Fusu a little more. If it weren't for Fusu, Daqin would have been unable to make ends meet. , it is absolutely impossible to develop to the point where it is now, let alone build a super project like the Grand Canal.

You know, the entire Grand Canal project used more than one million peacock coolies and hundreds of millions of stones of cement and concrete. Businessmen came and went. The capital invested in the shares has exceeded 50 million yuan.

It directly exceeds the total revenue of the treasury in the previous ten years of the Qin Dynasty. Even if all the courtiers at that time were sold, it would be impossible to collect such an astronomical amount of money.

According to the Ministry of Household Affairs It is estimated that after the Grand Canal is opened, it will increase tax revenue for Daqin by at least 10 million yuan a year!

This is because the natural dangers of Sanmenxia are too steep and the access of the artificial canal from Xianyang City to Luoyang City is limited.

"Not only has business skyrocketed, but the Grand Canal has connected several major water systems in Daqin, sharing the peak volume of floods. Many areas originally flooded have now become fertile fields, at least providing millions more acres of good paddy fields in Daqin."

Zhongshu Ling Feng Quji said with a smile.

"The significance of this Grand Canal project to our Qin Dynasty is no less than that of King Yu's water control in the past."

The rest of the courtiers also echoed.

Several days have passed since the Great Court Meeting. Although the officials are still shocked, they have already accepted Yingzheng's tour and entrusted Fusu with full authority to supervise the country. Fusu will continue to refine the reform of the official system of the court. It is a fact.

After all, this was the First Emperor who kept his words. Anyone who dared to go against the First Emperor would have already confessed to the Lord of Hell. Moreover, Fusu’s contribution to the Qin Dynasty was indeed unmatched by anyone. After everyone thought about it carefully, they could not I don’t agree that it is actually most appropriate for Fusu to have full authority to handle the government affairs.

After all, after the First Emperor went on tour, communication with various places cannot be as convenient as usual, and many affairs cannot be delayed. Reporting back and forth can easily miss the best opportunity.

Moreover Fusu's ability to recognize people is obvious to all in the Qin Dynasty. Xiao He, Chen Ping, Han Xin and others recommended by Fusu are all talented people who have served as generals and prime ministers. Now they have played a decisive role in the Qin Dynasty.

Ying The government just moved the time when these people officially came to power a little earlier.

Instead of worrying about these, it is better to think about how to show more performance in front of the First Emperor during the Eastern Tour, so as to win a position in Lingyan Pavilion in the future. The one who left his name in history. The huge temptation is really unstoppable, and the more prominent the official position, the harder it is to refuse.

"Fusu, after my father goes on tour, all matters in the court will be entrusted to you!"

Ying Zheng took in the reactions of the courtiers and said with a smile.

"My son will definitely not disappoint his father’s expectations!"

Fusu said with a cupped hand.

Now that things have happened, Fusu has calmly shouldered the important task of supervising the country.

After all, he is the prince of Qin, and the first emperor is on a tour. As a prince, he has a duty.

Moreover, Yingzheng's absolute trust also makes him Fusu was very moved

"Then the father set off!"

"If the delay continues, the commercial port will be crowded."

Ying Zheng said with a slight smile.

When the First Emperor traveled, many fleets had to give way, so they all docked in the port and waited. The massive fleet actually made Xianyang Commercial Port, which had been expanded several times, unable to accommodate it.

"I wish my father a safe journey and a speedy return."

Fusu bowed slightly and said

"Father, I will accept your good words."

Ying Zheng chatted with Fu Su for a while before he reluctantly left.

Amid the powerful drumbeats, Ying Zheng's fifth eastward patrol fleet officially set off from Xianyang Port, followed the Grand Canal, and aimed directly at Kuaiji. estuary......

"It is indeed a boat specially built for me by Fusu. This level of comfort is even greater than that of the Great Qin Treasure Ship."

"Compared with ordinary river ships, it is countless times stronger!"

It wasn't until the shadows of Fusu and others on the shore disappeared in the telescope that Ying Zheng reluctantly put away the telescope given by Fusu and said with a smile.

"According to His Highness, this dragon boat is the latest technology from the Scientific Research Institute and the Engineering Academy. The biggest innovation is the use of paddle wheels instead of oars, which not only makes it more comfortable, but also allows for faster speeds."

Zhang Han quickly replied

"Oh, and this is the reason?"

Under Zhang Han's guidance, Ying Zheng discovered that on both sides of the middle part of the dragon boat, there were two more huge waterwheel-like paddle wheels than ordinary ships. They beat the water slowly and rhythmically, driving the entire boat. The dragon boat moves forward

"This craftsman’s method of scientific research is really a good thing!"

Ying Zheng nodded with satisfaction.

"This is just the first step. The current paddle wheels are mainly driven by human-operated mechanisms, which are relatively inefficient and require several crew rotations to maintain speed."

"According to His Highness, a super powerful machine is being studied in the Engineering Academy. Once successful, it can replace manpower. Not only can it continue to work, but it will also be stronger and more efficient."

Nei Shiteng, who often goes to the Prince's Mansion for advice and knows the Academy of Science and Engineering the best, quickly introduced him.

He knew that His Majesty's biggest hobby now is to show off Fusu, the most proud overtime worker.

In Praising Fusu in front of Ying Zheng is more effective than praising Ying Zheng.

Therefore, Nei Shiteng made careful preparations before setting off, just waiting to perform well in front of Ying Zheng.

There was no way. The temptation of Lingyan Pavilion is really too great.

Moreover, Lingyan Pavilion was proposed by Fusu, and with the trust of the First Emperor, Fusu definitely has a great say in who can settle in Lingyan Pavilion.

Internal History Teng's move can be said to kill two birds with one stone, and the father and son are trying to please each other. Sure enough, the face of his old father Ying Zheng soon became full of pride. When

Feng Quji and others saw this, they all began to despise Nei Shi Teng.

This Lao Buxiu, for the sake of the quota in Lingyan Pavilion, he gave up his face.

But why didn't we think of it before?

Nei Shiteng actually took the lead again, so angry!
