Qin Dynasty Novelist

However, after entering July, there was still no rain, and as a last resort, the seeds were buried in the ground. The drought for almost four consecutive months affected all counties and counties in Qin State. If there is no wet soil within three feet, the summer seeds cannot grow at all.

The only two old canals in Guanzhong can only irrigate a few counties in the west. How to solve the rare drought a hundred years ago?

The farmers who are close to the rivers and lakes are carrying carts day and night to water the nests and rush to plant them. They can't get enough money, but they can only watch the unearthed green seedlings dying, and they want to cry without tears.

At the beginning of August, King Qin Yingzheng, who was in charge of Xianyang Palace, issued an urgent letter, and the county and county officials supervised the water and planting, and rushed to open the Maoqu to divert water. However, it was still of no avail, and the drought did not abate.

It was September, and there was no rain in the hinterland of the Qin State, and the countries in the Kanto region also began a severe drought for months.

Otherwise, compared with the land in the middle of the Guan, the land outside the Guan is more miserable. Under the continuous war, even if there is a slight catastrophe, you will not be able to turn over. Many borders outside the Hangu Pass and the borders of the Kanto countries, the land of the Three Jins is like a flood of hungry people. Flooded into Qin State.

At the same time, Zhou Qing previously deduced that the most worrying thing happened. In mid-September, a frightening astrological prophecy spread with the flood of hungry people.

The astrologer predicted: This year, the comet will see the west in spring and the north in summer. Eighty days from the south of Dou, the king of Qin will go against the law, causing punishment from heaven, causing severe drought in the world, the people of Qin will be hungry, the people of Qin will die, and the state of Qin will be in chaos. , Qin will perish

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

From March to September at the beginning of the year, there has been no drop of water falling from the sky for half a year. The thousands of miles of fertile fields in Guanzhong are extremely dry. Diversion of water has not yet been completed, and rivers and canals have not been cast. Only a few canals can no longer solve all problems. question.

Zhou Qing, who was still staying in the Jingshui River Valley, looked down at the surrounding area. The old Qin people stood on the cracked fields. The seeds planted earlier could not be found. Even if they were lucky enough to break through the ground, there was no rain The infiltration of the body has become extremely withered and yellow, as if it could be ignited at any time.

Faced with such natural disasters, the old Qin people want to cry but have no tears, screaming at the sky, so what can they do? Those who are close to Jingshui can transport a little water to relieve the drought from time to time, while those who are several miles or tens of miles away make the old people The people of Qin could only wait dryly.

Hope it will rain a little!

Even on the river canal today, the people who have been expropriated are also very sad. They are also from the old Qin. Although they were expropriated here, they can still think of the scene at home.

The whole country of Qin was severely drought, and the Kanto countries were also suffering from severe drought. For the first time in a hundred years, the land of Guanzhong, which was well-seasoned and rainy, experienced an unprecedented drought, and the old Qin people were immediately stunned.

"My lord, the Qin people over there are fighting again!"

Staying here for several months without waiting for the ranger swordsman to arrive is a good thing, but as the drought continues, it seems to be another kind of suffering. The medicine house has long been cast, and the place where Zhou Qing lives is in the Next to the medicine house.

Cultivating at the top of the river valley in leisure time, one observes all the movements in the area of ​​dozens of miles, and the other climbs up to observe, feeling at ease, sitting cross-legged on a rock, with a scent of fragrant wind blowing by, the figure of Yan Lingji appeared on the side.

"The water at this moment is like life, fighting for water is fighting for life!"

In the words of Yan Lingji, Zhou Qing, who was in meditation, opened his eyes and followed the direction pointed by Yan Lingji's slender hand, which was ten miles away. Looking down, there was a lavender light in the depths of his eyes. The figures of the old Qin people were ups and downs.

Since last month, such things have happened frequently. Although the county magistrate has rectified it, it has not been effective. Natural disasters are like this, and the old Qin people are unwilling to fight for water and life.

There was a severe drought in the Qin State, and all the counties and counties were in a hurry, and the people in the villages were even more anxious.Seeing that the seedlings were scorched under the scorching sun, the farming clans invited the farmers from Benting to the county government office to ask for permission from the government to build the canals by themselves.

The county magistrate didn't dare to answer without authorization, so he had to fly to Xianyang, and the old Qin people crowded in the official office to wait to die, and refused to leave without an answer.There are also Kanto immigrant villages who have just entered the Guanzhong. They have no deep understanding of the legal system of the Qin State. According to the old tradition of natural disaster self-rescue in the Kanto countries, they simply do not report to the government, and open canals to divert water from nearby lakes.

The villages near the old Qin people were naturally dissatisfied with their seizure of water sources, and they spontaneously gathered people to obstruct it. The private fights among the common people, which had disappeared for many years, were about to revive amidst the ancient drought.

"Qin Ting still has no countermeasures!"

Zhou Qing murmured this word, and it was also the location of Nanxiang Xianyang City. He had already passed on the news a few months ago, but now it seems that the feeling of drought has not been taken seriously at all.

Yan Lingji beside her didn't say a word. This matter had nothing to do with her. Moreover, the current drought has even affected this Zhu Xia, not only Qin, but also the Kanto countries.

Deep in thought, purple light flickered all over Zhou Qing's body, and he stepped out, falling from the top of the valley, straight into the Jingshui River valley, Yan Lingji saw it, followed her, jumped down, her figure was ethereal like a fairy.

"Has the progress of the canal slowed down?"

Stepping into the canal shogunate, it was noon, and there seemed to be not many people inside, only Li Si and one or two water workers kept writing and discussing something inside.

Without waiting for the eyes of the three people to look over, he just asked.

"Master, there is no obstacle for the time being, but if the drought continues in the future, the people's power confiscated may change their minds, and their minds will change, delaying the progress of canal repairs."

Seeing Zhou Qing and Yan Lingji walk in, Li Si and the others quickly stood up from the table and bowed forward. Speaking of which, Master Xuanqing has not said much about the canal repair for several months. Guo and Li Si hoped.

Now listening to the master's words, Li Si's face darkened slightly, he sighed, and responded to it.

"Qinchuan has nine waters and eighteen pools, eight hundred miles from east to west. There are as many as a hundred rivers scattered in Guanzhong, and dozens of scattered lakes. Now that the drought is spreading, how about the construction of the surrounding canals?"

"Give me the map of the land of Qinchuan!"

The land of Qinchuan has never been short of water, but the lack of water does not mean that it is beneficial to the water. It can be used to control the water. The water system spreads and covers the entire Guanzhong land. However, due to the two major hazards of Qinchuan and the terrain, the water can be used Twelve out of ten is enough.

Walking around in the depths of the shogunate tent, looking at the silk pictures hanging all around, while asking Li Si, while slowly stretching out one hand, a dazzling black and white mysterious light flashed instantly, and a delicate bamboo tube appeared in hand.

"Take a look at this thing first, whether it can be used!"

Li Si's work was very efficient. As soon as Zhou Qing's words fell, he quickly turned around and took a large piece of silk from a table not far away. Give it to Zhou Qing, and then take the delicate bamboo tube from Zhou Qing.

I don't understand Zhou Qing's meaning, but since the master said, look first, then look first, nod with the two water workers on the left and right, and when the three of them gather together, they will open the bamboo tube that Zhou Qing got from his hand, One of them was a roll of paper.

As for Zhou Qing, he put the topographic map of Qinchuan obtained from Li Si, and hung it out of thin air in front of his body under the force of force. His eyes glowed faintly, and he gathered the entire topographic map of Qinchuan.

On the entire topographic map of Qinchuan, mountains, water systems, and conspicuous buildings...are marked out. According to the topographic map, the terrain of the entire Qinchuan can be described as extremely complicated.

The Weishui River runs through it, and there are Jingshui, Luoshui, Fenshui, etc. in the north. The terrain in the Weibei area is high and slow, but the more you go north, the higher the terrain, and the more you go south, the more terrain.

Therefore, Xianyang, Lishan, Luoyin, Hanguguan, etc. are all in the central flat area. In the north of Wei, the canal built by Zheng Guo is mixed between Jing and Wei. Depending on the direction of the terrain, hundreds of canals were built. in the canal.

The nearly [-] canals that run through the two major water veins and connect the Guanzhong area are quite complicated if you look closely at them for a moment, but from the perspective of the terrain, the ups and downs are erratic, and the distribution of the water system is even more chaotic.

"finish watching?"

Looking at the entire topographic map of Qinchuan, I already had a simple idea in my heart. Then I waved my hand and dropped the topographic map on the table not far away. I turned slightly and looked at Li Sisan who was whispering at the moment. people.

"Master, according to the shape of the object in this picture and the accompanying description, this object can be of great use."
