Qin Dynasty Novelist

This move is to prevent problems before they happen. If the decree of this king's book is issued to all counties and counties in Qin State, then Li Si can imagine what the river canal will be like half a month later, or one month later.

"As Hequ Ling and Hequ Chancellor, you are in charge of all aspects of the construction of the Jingshui River Canal. The reason why this king's letter is for you to read in advance is to make preparations in advance."

"Once the Qin State uses the reserve granary, the power of the whole country will be suppressed on it. Although Xuanqing doesn't know how to build canals, as a patrol history, if there are delays and chaos on the canals. "

"The king's power over my life and death is not a display!"

Withdrawing the king's letter from Li Si, looking at the two people with different expressions at the moment, Zhou Qing said softly, conscripting the disaster victims from the Qin Kingdom to gather on the river canal will certainly bring a lot of people's power and provide enough power for the construction of the canal.

However, the scale of a million people is quite troublesome to manage, and various problems are prone to occur.

"Building the canal with the power of the whole country, this kind of courage is rare in ancient times. In the annals of the history of the Shui family, it will definitely leave a heavy mark for the king of Qin and this canal. Zheng Guo will definitely build this canal for Qin to live up to the Shui family name!"

Hearing the resoluteness and coldness in the mouth of the Master Protector, Zheng Guo and Li Si glanced at each other quickly, and immediately, each took a step forward and saluted again.With a deep sigh in his mouth, exuding an inexplicable excitement all over his body, he said deeply.

"I will live up to your majesty's expectations!"

Li Si also said in a deep voice, since he entered the Qin Kingdom from Xiaoshengxianzhuang, he originally thought that he could be appreciated by compiling "Lu's Spring and Autumn Annals" in Wenxinhou's Mansion, so that he could enter the Qin court and pursue a high position.

Now, Wen Xinhou is dead, and the only thing he can rely on is King Qin, and only King Qin entrusted him with the task of building the canal. If this matter is completed perfectly, this Jingshui River Canal will be the capital of his promotion.

Otherwise, I will fall into the abyss, and I will never be able to climb out again. The king's book in the hands of Master Guan is here. The power of the whole country is here, and it is time to show your ability to King Qin. How dare you be careless in this way.

As for the conversation between the two, Zhou Qing didn't say much, nodded slightly, turned his body slightly, and glanced at Tong Xushou, the lavender light flickered all over his body, and disappeared as he stepped.

******

Just as Zhou Qing expected, yesterday just agreed on a good strategy to deal with the immediate drought, and the next day, a series of Wang Shu flew from Xianyang City to the various counties and counties of Qin State, especially the counties in Guanzhong.

For the Qin court, the opening of the government warehouses to relieve the drought is based on the military law and military system, but for the common people in the Qin country, they have no time to pay attention to the deep mysteries of Wang Shu.

They only know that this time, the opening of the Guancang to control the water and repair the canal will undoubtedly give the old Qin people and the new Qin people the best way out.The most important thing is that this time, the recruitment of people's power is an exception, regardless of gender, age or age.

In the eyes of the drought, for a while, the whole family of the common people went to the construction site of the Jingshui River Canal. With the support of the government's official warehouse, the chance of survival was only on the construction site. Wouldn't it be a great thing to eat freely and eat freely? .

In addition, the state government of Qin directly counts the people's power confiscated to participate in the construction of the canal as the annual corvee. In other words, instead of building the Great Wall and other fortifications in Qin, how can the benefits be compared to the Jingshui canal? .

Furthermore, this year's drought appeared during the summer harvest. Until now, when the beginning of autumn begins, there is not much grain grown in summer, and there is nothing to do in autumn and winter. The people also have a place of sustenance in their hearts.

There are even rumors that on the Jingshui River Canal, if you do a good job, you may even be able to win a peasant title, so why not do it!As for the counties and counties in Guanzhong that benefited from the rivers and canals that have been vigorously expropriated, there is no opinion.

"Little Martial Uncle, there are... too many people!"

Half a month later, Zhou Qing and Xu Shou stood quietly at the top of the river valley, looking down at the surrounding area centered on the canal shogunate, where dark and dense figures gathered.

It was really crowded, and even Li Si, who later inherited the name of the king's book, did not expect that the main expropriation area planned was only in the Weibei counties that benefited from the Jingshui River. Come as much as you want.

I don't want to hear Wang Shu's announcement, the whole Qinchuan cheers thunderously, and the counties and counties compete to send off the migrant workers. One battalion after another is a joy.Within ten days, more than a thousand camps were densely set up on the Guanzhong Plateau, each with a thousand people, a total of more than one million!

This is only half a month. In half a month, more than one million people's power has been confiscated on the entire Jingshui Canal. From the entrance of the Jingshui Canal, things stretch like a long black dragon.

"It's better if there are more people. Zheng Guo and Li Si were deducing yesterday. If there are more than one million people's power on the canal, the construction can be completed before the beginning of autumn next year at the latest. If more than [-] million people's power can be confiscated, say No, it can be completed before the summer harvest!"

There was a faint purple mysterious light in his eyes, and the area with a radius of tens of miles was in the depths of his eyes. There were endless figures gathered from all directions, and they were assigned to various sections of the canal under the management of many officials that Li Si had arranged for a long time ago. , release the shovel drill hammer, and quickly enter the state.

However, looking in another direction, there is also a long dragon of human figures, guarded by soldiers in heavy armor on both sides, ox carts are slowly advancing, and bags of grain are constantly being transported from the Guanzhong granary.

"Although there are many people, it is a good thing, but, little uncle, look over there!"

Xu Shou nodded. For today's Jingshui River Canal, the more people there are, the greater the power. According to the engineering drawings that Zheng Guo had drawn over the years, they were quickly assigned to each checkpoint and built fortifications, so that they can be directly connected next year. .

However, afterward, Xu Shou changed the subject and was a little surprised by his words. He pointed with one hand at a certain place where the crowd gathered in the canal, seemingly puzzled, and his head shook slightly.

However, old men who walked tremblingly were also mixed in the crowded crowd, and even many of them were old and weak, and there were even the sounds of babies crying and children playing.

According to the Qin law, it is absolutely impossible for this kind of people's power to be confiscated here. Ordinary people's power can be confiscated to the canals, and they can contribute a little power, but they are pure consumers.

"Superior virtue is not virtuous, so there is virtue. Lower virtue does not lose virtue, so there is no virtue. Upper virtue does not do anything but does not think, and lower virtue does not do anything but thinks. The highest benevolence is for it without thinking, and the highest righteousness is for it. Think."

"Li Si has already told me about this matter. Although this move violates the laws of Qin, it does not violate the Dao, and it does not violate the great virtues. The magic of great virtues is the law of heaven and earth. This is also the current law of Shang Jun that needs to be supplemented. a bit."

Regarding the existence of those people, Zhou Qing had noticed early on that he was a little hesitant at first. Since the military system was used to deal with the current drought in the Qin State, he could not have such compassion.

Daren is not benevolent, this move is unfair to the rest of the Qin people who have not entered the Jingshui River Canal, but from another perspective, gathering these powerless people can also annihilate the slight chaos that may arise in Qin.

There is no need for military suppression, a little food supply can be wiped out, why not do it!

One month later, [-] camps had been occupied in the entire project area of ​​the Jingshui River Canal. In other words, more than [-] million people had come here within a month of leaving Wang Shu.

During this period, Zhou Qing used to walk against the wind, back and forth above the Jingshui River Canal, looking down, it was full of people gathered, and the people's power worked day and night on the canal construction site, especially those from the New Qin Dynasty. According to Wang Shu, as long as When the canal is completed, they will be able to share the fields in Guanzhong.

The consumption of [-] million people's power is far more than the battle of Changping [-] years ago. At the beginning, Qin's granary could support the battle of Changping for two or three years. Now, facing such consumption, this time must be greatly shortened .

It is also because of the solid accumulation of the Qin State over the past century, just opening the six large warehouses in Guanzhong, and there are as many as one million Dendrobium of various colors of grain.Within a year, there is more than enough to support the canal project.

The task of transporting "military rations" to the canal was handed over by Qin Wangzheng to Guowei Mengwu.For this reason, Meng Wu specially mobilized the [-] infantry troops who stayed behind in the Lantian Camp to form a special supply battalion, requisitioned more than [-] ox carts and horse-drawn carts from various counties in Guanzhong, and transported grain and grass to the Weibei River Canal day and night.

In a month's time, it was enough for such an unprecedented event that happened in Qin to spread throughout the six Kanto countries. In a short while, the six Kanto countries sent spies to the Jingshui River Canal to find out what happened.

Because of this, Zhou Qing finally found the traces of the Kwantung enemy Qin people around Zheng Guo, and did not hold back any hands, and directly selected them from the dense crowd to suppress and kill them.

Before Zhou Qing could deal with those corpses, they were surrounded by many people around them, and they were directly turned into a meat paste by shovels, drills, and hammers. In a scene full of resentment, they were filled into the bottom of the canal construction site .

The king of Qin issued a king's letter to open warehouses and release grain to save them in the drought, and those who were killed by the master were undoubtedly against them. It's a sad day.

Common people don't understand the truth, but there is no need to say more about the real benefits. They have their own balance in their hearts. For a while, without Zhou Qing's deliberate inspection, those who have a slight abnormality on the canal construction site will be reported.

In addition, during this period of time, Zhou Qing offered another good thing to the Jingshui River Canal. Watching the dense crowd of people working together to pull the bullock carts to transport various materials was inefficient and time-consuming.
