Qin Dynasty Novelist

"What Zheng Guo said, I also agree with."

"But this—practice comes, but it has something else to say!"

After a little thought, there is quite some meaning. The whole document seems to agree with the king's entry into the Jingshui River Canal, but in fact, there are vaguely mixed conditions of his own, but it is rare.

"Hahaha! The people of Zheng Guo, I also got a glimpse of Li Si's temperament from many documents. He is calm, capable and pragmatic. In addition, he is a water engineer who hates ostentation and decoration."

"Here, the widow also agrees. The widow went to the Jingshui canal, and what I did was not to disturb the progress of the Jingshui canal. I just wanted to see with my own eyes what the long-awaited canal looks like. .”

Hearing Wang Wan's words, Qin Wangzheng couldn't help but smile. This Wang Wan could clearly see the meaning of Zheng Guo's document, but he didn't say it out. .

"I, Wang Mingduan!"

Wang Wan smiled awkwardly. If Zheng Guo said this, if he were replaced by other courtiers, this would be a bit of a violation of etiquette. He has always been at the center of the Qin court, and he still has to obey a little bit of officialdom.

"Clarified?"

"If the canal cannot be repaired this summer, and there is no rain in autumn and winter, no matter how decisively I make a decision, it will be of no use! Wang Wan, draw up the royal letter immediately, and I will personally visit the Jingshui Canal and work together with the people of Qin to build the canal!"

Putting the document uploaded by Zheng Guo in his hand on the case, he shook his head helplessly. Qin Guo put his family's wealth on the Jingshui River Canal. At this last juncture, He Qu must not let himself down.

The words fell, the body turned slightly, and ordered to Wang Wan.

In the evening of the same day, another fast horse Wang Shu flew to the various counties and counties in Guanzhong, especially the construction site of the Jingshui River Canal, which Qin Wangzheng was deeply concerned about. Wang Shu spoke and completely set the tone.

King Qin said:

New Year's Eve drought, people's livelihood is in decline, the old Qin people are trying to survive, and feel that God is fighting for their lives!Today, the widow's camp will be stationed at Jingshui, and I am determined to work together with thousands of common people to fight hard and make sure that Jingshui will irrigate my fields in summer and autumn.

At this time, all the officials and common people of the state of Qin should uphold the determination of the fate of the country, compete with the heavens, and give the old Qin people a way of life. , Slacking off and fleeing, the crime will be added.

The future survival of the Qin State will depend on the battle of the Jingshui River Canal!

When Wang Shu dropped his hand, the Hequ made Zheng Guo and Hequ Prime Minister Li Sijun very excited, and then distributed the Wang Shu up and down the entire river canal. For a while, the entire river was boiling, not to mention the other counties that Wang Shu passed on.

Not long after Wang Shu was passed on, groups of the remaining people from the major counties and counties gathered from all directions and rushed to the Jingshui River, even the lands of Bashu in the south, Longxi in the west, and the clouds in the north. There are orders everywhere.

They want to go to the Jingshui River Canal and build this canal that involves the fate of the Qin State. However, everything must follow the Qin Law in the end. It is okay to ask for orders, but the matters of the respective counties and counties cannot be delayed.

"Your Majesty, if you don't call Master Xuanqing back and keep him by your side, you can feel at ease!"

The action of Xianyang City was very fast, and it was only ten days before the king's letter was issued. Qin Wangzheng temporarily handed over the affairs of the government to Lord Changping, Wang Wan and others, and Tingwei Mansion and others assisted in handling them.

I and Shaofu Ling Zhao Gao, Wei Wei Li Xin and others left Xianyang and went north to the Jingshui River Canal.On the way, there were not many people in the group, but the two dragon and tiger cavalry centurions brought by Weiwei Li Xin, and the elites Zhao Gao selected from the trap.

Even so, Zhao Gao still felt that it was not safe. In the past hundred years of the Qin State, there had never been a case of the king personally visiting the Qin State fortifications.

Second, safety cannot be guaranteed, especially Qin, which has gradually dominated the six countries in the Kanto region for a hundred years. At every moment, it is unknown how many people from various schools of thought, knight-errants and swordsmen from the six countries in the Kanto region want to attack the king .

Starting from Xianyang for two hundred miles, and traveling to a slightly remote place, Zhao Gao became more and more worried about the Shaofu, and Li Xin, the guard on one side, became more and more vigilant in defense. Feeling this, Zhao Gao couldn't help thinking of Master Xuanqing protecting the king look like.

The strength of one person is enough to deal with all emergencies. It is no wonder that the king attaches so much importance to the master recently.

"For Qin today, Zheng is more important than me. With the master by my side, I can feel more at ease. According to this speed, it will not be a problem to reach the Jingshui construction site in the evening."

It was noon, and on both sides was a large piece of wasteland, with undulating hills, and withered and yellow trees growing in it. Looking around, it was full of depression. The scorching sun was hanging down. Hearing Zhao Gao's words, Qin Wangzheng shook his head.

At this point, Zhao Gao didn't say much anymore, he had no choice but to order the accompanying Luo Wang warriors and Wei Wei Li Xin to protect them more and more. All the way north, nothing happened, and Zhao Gao's extremely nervous heart gradually Soothe down.

At the same time, at the construction site of the Jingshui River Canal, with the arrival of Qin Wangzheng's chariots and horses, the place where Qin Wangzheng went suddenly became a place of worship for thousands of Qin people. When he saw the chariots and horses from a distance, he bowed and knelt down, shouting "King" endlessly.

However, on the night when the camp was set up, Qin Wangzheng did not see any officials, so he sent Zhao Gao to the Hequ shogunate to discuss with Zheng Guo and Li Si about tomorrow's affairs. The top of the mountain on the east bank of the mouth.

This place is just where Zhongshan is towering and overlooked. Looking up, the canyon and mountains are full of lights, spreading to the sky from the south to the east.

If it weren't for the whistling dust and fog that turned everything into a boundless haze, this sea of ​​lanterns far larger than any military camp would be an unprecedented magnificent night scene.

"Xuanqing has seen the king!"

However, before Qin Wangzheng was on the top of the mountain looking down at the surrounding situation, there was a dazzling purple light flashing beside him, and an elegant figure stepped forward, walked up to him, and bowed his hands.

"Meet the master!"

Zhou Qing's sudden appearance made Li Xin, who was dressed in heavy armor beside him, nervous for a moment, but then he felt a little relieved. With a martial arts master like a master by his side, his pressure could be reduced.

Holding the sword in hand and saluting, it means returning to the surrounding patrol.

"According to the Master, the Jingshui River Ditch does not stop day and night, how much lamp oil can be consumed in one night?"

Ying Zheng stood on the hill, staring quietly. Even though Zhou Qing arrived beside him, he didn't make any response. He just looked at the magnificent scene in front of him like that, and after a full stick of incense, he sighed and whispered softly.

"Hequ Chancellor Li Si is in charge of all the important affairs of the Hequ, and Xuanqing has already looked at the question."

"The main trunk of the Jingshui River Canal is [-] miles long. To support the remaining checkpoints and the extension of the Mao Canal, the torch oil needed for one night is between [-] and [-] catties, and the consumption for a month is about one million catties."

"Now that the winter cold has not completely receded, we need to add some more to this amount. Fortunately, torch lamp oil comes from a wide range of sources, including butter, mutton fat, lard, resin oil, etc., as well as a huge amount of Gonu Menghuo oil!"

Zhou Qing understood the meaning of Qin Wangzheng's question. After he took office, he mobilized more than [-] people to gather in the canal. Last year, because of the severe drought, he had his own plan, and nearly two million people rushed to the canal.

On the bright side, it seems that Guanzhong Dacang is the only one that consumes a lot. In fact, for the densely populated people's power on the canals, the daily consumption is extremely huge. The construction of canals by the whole country is not empty talk.

That is to say, since the Great War of Changping, the Qin State has not had a real national destiny war, and the foundation still exists. Otherwise, it really cannot withstand such consumption. If it is replaced by any of the six Kanto countries, it will definitely not be able to support such a situation. consume.

Zhou Qing's words fell, but Qin Wangzheng did not respond.

Wei Wei Li Xin led the dragon and tiger heavy armored soldiers of Xianyang Palace to guard strictly, Zhou Qing followed beside him, standing quietly with Qin Wangzheng, standing like stone sculptures, until the huge morning star quietly disappeared, the group of people was still like stone sculptures stand still.
