Chapter 289: Yantian (First Update)
"So, you should understand what the king means!"
After finishing speaking, he didn't continue to say anything, Zheng Guo entered Qin with the mission of tired Qin's plan, although the canal has not yet been built, but Qin has invested a lot of people's and material resources in the canal.
For the future of the canal, if Zheng Guo could not give a guarantee, not only Qin Wangzheng would not agree, but even Qin Guo would not agree, and it would be a great grace to continue to keep Zheng Guo to build the canal here.
Standing lightly on his side with one hand, the afterglow swirled in the dim tent, Zheng Guo's body still bowed deeply, and Li Si on the side also stood on one side and was silent.
"A few months ago, there were hundreds of thousands of people on the canal, Zheng Guo, as a water worker, took water control as his mission, and Zheng Guo had nothing to repay him, and swore again that before the winter of next year, the canal would be completed!"
Finally, I don't know how long it took, Zheng Guo, who had been working on the canal for a long time, suddenly sat down on the ground with his bowed body, and then hurriedly struggled to stand on his knees, his hands arched, tears falling down his face, and his expression was full of sadness.
Deeply and said, his head turned slightly, and looked at the case not far from the side, where a large number of silk silk drawings were piled up, which was the foundation of the entire canal fortifications, and he bowed to Zhou Qing again.
"Your relatives and family don't have to worry, if South Korea dares to make a move, the Korean royal family will pay a heavier price when the Qin State goes down in one day."
"Zheng Guo, these two days are good to recuperate, take the pill, and return to the shogunate as soon as possible!"
Since the patriarchal system of the Zhou Dynasty has been extended, it has affected many countries in Zhuxia, otherwise, hundreds of vassal states since the Spring and Autumn Period would not have often had wars, as large as a vassal state, as small as a family, which is very deeply involved.
Zheng Guo's psychology is purely human nature, however, when people's normal feelings and the power of merit are opposed, it will become a huge constraint.
Glancing at Lees, he turned to leave the tent. Behind him, Jingyang County Ling and Flame Lingji also left, leaving Li Si and Zheng Guo in the silent tent.

"Childe, it's been half a month since we came here, and it seems that there are no ranger swordsmen from the Kanto countries."
On the towering slopes on both sides of the Jingshui River Valley, Zhou Qing was watching a group of people not far away build a courtyard of the medicine house, speaking of which, this is still his own suggestion, the matter of repairing the canal, and the conquest of more than 500,000 people.
Distributed between the entire Jingshui and Luoshui, among them, especially the Jingshui River Valley and the adjacent area are the most, for the entire canal, this is the core area, the people are difficult, the sanitation is scattered, and it has not rained for more than two months now, which is unbearable for some people.
For this, Zhou Qing did not do much, but gave advice to the river canal Cheng Li Si, let some people who were relatively weak rectify the sanitation of the river canal fortifications, reduce the occurrence of diseases, spread the word to Jingyang and Xianyang, and dispatch doctors to come.
According to the response of Jingyang and Xianyang, the doctors came soon, and Zhou Qing appreciated it very much, and looked at the entire Jingshui River Valley area, and the endless tent area was piled up together.
A large number of people from the levy continue to build channels at key positions in the canal, vigorously ramming the canal, ox carts walking in it, transporting all kinds of sand and gravel ignorance, and even some women and children are mixed in, constantly delivering food and water to support the progress of the canal.
"It's no better, I received the documents from Xianyang two days ago, and the Yin and Yang family and Mr. Gai Nie and their party have gained a lot, capturing and killing dozens of rangers."
After the events of Yewang, Xinzheng, and Sanchuan, if there is really a ranger swordsman who is not long-eyed here, then Zhou Qing will be extremely surprised, no one is here, and he can be regarded as a little quiet, and continue to promote his cultivation.
Looking at the enchanting Flame Spirit Ji beside him, he has been by his side for so long, and he seems to have experienced a trace of the subtlety of tranquility, and between his gestures, he has added a touch of pure quietness, mixed with a strong sense of charm, and his temperament is extraordinary.
In view of the large number of people in this place, Flame Spirit Ji did not take it out to avoid unnecessary trouble, and raised her head to look at the sun overhead, it was summer, and it was getting hotter and hotter.
In the past two days, there have been many people suffering from heat stroke in the canal fortifications, and more and more people have gathered in the shady area of the river valley.
With a faint purple glow in his eyes, he looked into the distance, where the unrequisitioned people around the Jingshui River Valley were harvesting in the fields, men, women and children, all of whom were in it, so lively, not inferior to the canal fortifications.
The summer harvest time is a major event for the entire Qin State, and it is also the case for the Kwantung countries, all the officials of the official office entered the village, and all the official vehicles were requisitioned and sent to the pavilion, the pavilion, and the pavilion with a bang.
On the field road, there are a continuous stream of ox carts loaded with wheat and swaying like a hill. The golden wheat fields disappeared one by one in the endless fields under the scorching heat, and they were much more lively and faster than the busy wheat mowing in previous summers.
"Uncle Xiao, the doctors from Jingyang County can arrive today, and the doctors from Xianyang are a little late, but they can arrive here the day after tomorrow at the latest."
Looking around, the old Qin people on the fertile fields of Guanzhong around the canal rushed to harvest, and it was good to pull back a cart of grain, but according to the weather, such a drought is not a good thing for summer planting, especially now that the canal has not been repaired.
After a while, the void guard came from a distance, walked to the front, saluted, and responded quickly to Zhou Qing, these days, although he didn't capture the ranger swordsman, but the little uncle did a lot.
The sanitation of the entire Jingshui Valley is clear, the tents are more soothing and ventilated, and the summer drinking water must be boiled anyway, although it causes no small complaints.
But after five or seven days, it seems that there are indeed a lot fewer people who suddenly fall ill, because of this, Hequ Cheng Li Si went down with all his strength to implement Zhou Qing's advice, no matter when and where, the people's power is always extremely precious.
"Xushou, how long has it been since the last rain in Xianyang?"
Watching the old Qin people on the fertile fields in the far distance finish harvesting the wheat, it is a matter of preparing for summer planting, just wait for the heavy rain to fall, it can be achieved, and then, the gods melt the heaven and the earth, and everywhere feels the feeling of heat.
Whispering, in an instant, his eyes narrowed slightly, and the lilac light spread up and down his body, and his hands pinched the seal, and the wonderful texture emerged, turning into thousands of stars rising and falling, and exerting his knowledge of the future calamity.
This magical power can glimpse the corner of the future, and the specific things may not be deduced now, but the simple celestial phenomena are not a problem, the mysterious breath swings out from Zhou Qing's body, the seal of the hands is getting faster and faster, and the depths of the slightly narrowed eyes are even more strange pictures ups and downs.
"It should be almost three months, and it's strange to say, there hasn't been a single rain in Xianyang, and there hasn't been a single rain in the Jingshui area!"
Ignoring the voice, I don't know what it means, but after thinking about it carefully, it is a response, looking at the movement of the little uncle, there is no more to say, there is no other movement, just a pair of bright eyes looking at the seal of the little uncle.
Although I don't know what kind of Taoist method it is, it is obvious that I will not be able to use it now.
"The summer disasters have risen, and the great drought has continued."
"Xushou, you immediately take my order to the area in the middle of the canal, go to see His Excellency Dongjun of the Yin and Yang Family, and ask him to astronologize, if it is the same as I said, then directly turn back to Xianyang and report this situation to the king!"
Glimpse of the power of the future, the spirit and spirit have been consumed a lot, take a deep breath, put his hands together, and gather the vision of his body, and immediately, his body turned around and looked at the side waiting for the void.
It is hard to imagine that the trend of not having rain for nearly three months will continue to spread, and if so, summer planting will be extremely difficult, and the rest of the fields will be devastated except for those who have canals around them.
The expression is solemn, and the eyes are empty.
Although this deduction is my own observation, but such important matters are still cautious, if Concubine Dongjun Yan's deduction is the same as herself, then it will be fine, as for the Fengchang Taibu in Xianyang, there is no need to count on them.
"Defend it, let's go!"
Hearing Zhou Qing's words, the face of the void guard was also suddenly shocked, could it be that the little uncle was deducing the celestial phenomena just now, but in the Taoist scripture pavilion inheritance, there seems to be no means for this.
Since it is a major drought, it is not a simple few months, it is very likely to last for half a year or even a year, or even longer.
A great drought means a great disaster, and a great disaster means that there is a possibility of chaos! Immediately, without hesitation, he immediately left the Jingshui River Valley and headed towards the middle of the east, compared to the celestial deduction of Uncle Xiaoshi, the Dongjun of the Yin and Yang family was indeed more skilled.
Ten days later, Xushou returned from Xianyang and responded to Zhou Qing, and the Yin and Yang family's Dongjun Yan Concubine deduced the same, there will be a catastrophe in the Qin country, there will be a great drought, and the same is true for the Kanto countries, and the king of Qin also knows.
And in the middle and late of the month, the ox carts of the Qin State were on the road, and the tense summer robbery finally came to an end. The whole country is waiting for the rain, as long as the rain falls, you can perfect summer planting.
However, after entering July, there was still no rain and fell, and the seeds were buried in the earth, and the drought for almost four consecutive months affected the major counties and counties of Qin, and the drought was severe for months, and the pits were dug in the fields for three feet without seeing the wet soil, and the seeds of summer seeds could not grow at all.
There are only two old canals in Guanzhong, which can only irrigate a few counties in the west, how to solve this rare drought a hundred years ago?
The farmers who are close to the rivers and lakes can only watch the unearthed green seedlings die, and they want to cry without tears.
In August, King Yingzheng of Qin, who was sitting in Xianyang Palace, urgently issued a letter, and the county officials supervised the water and planted the water as a whole, and rushed to open the canal to divert water, but it was still to no avail, and the drought did not weaken.
In September, there was no rain in the hinterland of Qin, and the Kwantung countries began to suffer from a major drought for months.
Otherwise, compared to the land of Guanzhong, the land outside the pass is more bitter, under the continuous war, the slightest disaster is not allowed to turn over, many borders outside the Hangu Pass and the Kwantung countries, the hungry people in the land of the Three Jin Dynasty poured into the Qin State like a tide.
At the same time, Zhou Qing's previous deduction that the most worrying thing still happened, in mid-September, a terrifying astrological prophecy spread with the starvation of the people.
Astrologers predict: This year's comet, spring to the west, summer to the north, from the south of the bucket for 80 days, the Lord Qin King perversely, incurring the punishment of heaven, bringing the world to a great drought, the Qin people will starve, the Qin people will die, the Qin country will be chaotic, the Qin country will die
