The shogunate of the Jingshui River Canal, set up at the mouth of the gourd, is also the most critical place of the entire Jingshui River Canal, which is the entrance of the water diversion from Jingshui, which is related to the direction of the hundreds of miles of canals, and is the key to connecting Luoshui.

I didn't rest all night, even if I wanted to rest, I didn't have that thought, and it wasn't until the end of the day that Qin Wangzheng slowly walked towards the location of the shogunate, followed by Xuan Qingzi, the protector of the country, Li Xin, the guard, and Zhao Gao, the commander of the Shaofu.

Just before stepping into the Jingshui Shogunate, the scene in front of him was to make Qin Wangzheng's expression moved, and his heart was full of infinite emotion and excitement out of thin air.

It was still early in the morning, and the hollow of the mountain where the shogunate was located was dark, and the torches of the warriors were dotted with them. The loess field in front of the tent had been sprinkled with water, but it was still covered with dust and mist. In the middle of the field was a large semi-open-air cowhide tent, surrounded by torches, and in the middle of the black press stood rows of participating generals.

The early spring morning breeze whipped their mud-stained ragged clothes, but none of them swayed slightly, and from a distance, they looked like rows of homeless beggars turned into clay figurines.

"The king has arrived!"

Shaofu ordered Zhao Gao to take a step closely, a faint light flashed around his body, and he whispered in his mouth, but it was easy to spread the entire mountain recess and river valley, and the words fell, and the clay figurines in front of the entire shogunate hula turned their heads, and the shouts of King Qin suddenly broke out, and the small mountain recess was almost overturned.

"Minister Zheng Guo sees my king!"

"Ministers and Ministers see my king!"

“……”

In the crowded crowd, Zheng Guo and Li Si of Hequ were naturally the leaders, and the rest of the important personnel then stepped forward to salute, greeted the light of the surrounding lights, and bowed deeply.

Without too much cumbersome etiquette, Qin Wangzheng waved with one hand, did not stay outside for a long time, and walked into the central tent of the shogunate under the leadership of Zheng Guo.

Before the King of Qin arrived in the tent of the shogunate, the officials and personnel who followed poured in, shouted again to pay homage, and gathered in such a hurry that Li Si even forgot to teach them about the benefits, and for a while, the entire tent of the shogunate was extremely chaotic.

All kinds of salutations kept rising, or bowing, or bowing, or bowing, or other ......, and some people even cried, and the whole tent was chaotic in an instant.

"Can this be discussed?"

Zheng Guo, who had been focusing on the Jingshui River Canal, saw this, his expression was stunned, his face was dumbfounded, and then he looked at Li Si on his side, such things should have been done by Li Si in advance.

"Blame me!"

At this point, Li Si did not shirk, but the responsibility for the current chaos was on himself. However, no matter what, the matter has already happened, and it can't be reversed, but fortunately, looking at the king's expression, there is nothing unusual.

"You are all old Qin people, Yingzheng is also old Qin people, you are the heroes of the Qin State today, the matter of the river canal is very beneficial, your merits are endless, please take a seat!"

Indeed, in the situation in front of him, Qin Wangzheng not only did not blame him, but his heart welled up with infinite emotion, this feeling was really unprecedented before, looking at their form and listening to their words.

For a while, his voice was much hoarse, and his hands were stretched out and pressed down, and he spoke slowly from side to side. After a few breaths, it was a state of chaos again, and the tent slowly returned to calm.

Since the Shang monarch changed the law, the old Qin people valued the honor given by the state the most. King Qin saluted, and more than 100 people in the tent were greatly used, only to feel that they had been treated by the King of Qin as a minister, and An Neng was not respectful and obedient?

I didn't want to think about it, and there was a burst of shouts of thanks to King Qin, and everyone looked solemn, so they sat down, even if there was a knife on the ground, they couldn't care about it.

The spring drought and wind, the sprinkler on the ground has long been dry, more than 200 people sit on the ground together, and immediately the loess is flying and the dust and mist are filled. However, what was surprising was that everyone in the entire big tent, including King Qin, looked solemn, and not a single person coughed in the dust and mist.

Qin Wangzheng was not in a hurry to discuss important matters immediately, and when the movement in the tent was normalized, he watched everyone take their seats, and his body was still standing, and so was Master Xuanqing beside him.

As far as his eyes went, he glanced at the important officials on the Jingshui River Canal, full of ragged clothes, messy hair, gray and yellow, and in this regard, Qin Wangzheng also knew very well that according to their fortunes, it was not that they could not afford to wear neat brocade robes.

But on the Jingshui River Canal, even if there is a brocade robe, it will not be long before it will be dirty again, and officials with a lot of family background are like this, for the situation of millions of people in the outside world, Qin Wangzheng can imagine.

"Ladies and gentlemen, it is a supreme honor for me to come to the Jingshui Shogunate in person."

"Zheng Guo, as the commander of the river canal, with the help of the river canal, next please ask you to speak to the king about the river canal!"

All things are inevitable, Zheng Guo, who has just taken his seat, is out of the ranks, bowed to Qin Wangzheng, who was also standing, and immediately, he looked around left and right, and the words continued, and the words continued.

looked at the top and ushered in the head of Qin Wangzheng.

"For one important matter, please ask the county magistrate and county magistrate where the canal passes to report the progress of the canal in their respective realms! Please also tell us the truth, is it feasible to complete the project before the autumn planting? ”

Li Si made a list of important things for himself, although he was not good at it, but it was not a problem to follow the map, and he retreated to one side and waited for the response of more than a hundred river officials on the left and right.

The people who entered the tent today are all county magistrates and county magistrates of the areas benefited by the Jingshui River Canal. What is the county order, according to the Qin law, in large counties with more than 10,000 households, the chief official is called the county order. In small counties with less than 10,000 households, the chief official is called the county magistrate; The county order is 600 stone a year, and the county magistrate is 500 stone a year.

"Yunyang County Decree Report: The Gukou construction site will be completed ahead of schedule, and the old Qin people are not afraid of hardship, and it will be feasible in two months!"

As soon as Zheng Guo's words fell, a sturdy young man on the right side of him got up, stepped forward and bowed, and bowed to Qin Wangzheng.

"Jingshui Gukou construction site, two months feasible!"

In an instant, several more people stepped out, walked out, and bowed in a loud voice.

Feeling this, Shaofu Ling Zhao Gao, who quietly stayed on the side of Qin Wangzheng, smiled slightly, in the name of the king last night, he discussed with Hequ Cheng Li Si in advance, and today he can see the result.

Zheng Guo said that the day of autumn planting is still nearly half a year away, and two months later, it is the day of summer planting, which is also the day that the king is looking forward to.

"The fortifications of Ganquan County can be done in two months!"

"The fortifications of Xuyang County can be done in two months!"

“……”

"The fortifications of Hengxing County, if you catch up, you can do it before the summer planting!"

“……”

Everyone in the tent was unwilling to be left behind, and stepped out one after another, and said to the promise of the head of Qin Wangzheng, between each other, the morale was sufficient, and between the eyebrows and eyes, they were full of fighting spirit.

However, although they looked extremely excited, for Zheng Guo, who had just stood on one side, they were dazed...... What's going on? What was said earlier was to determine whether the completion of the autumn planting could be guaranteed.

Why is it on summer planting again?

Sudden change, Zheng Guo trembled all over, his expression was extremely ugly, if a person said this, it would be fine, but listening to their words, it was obvious that someone had agreed in advance and completely crossed himself.

Is this when you don't exist? Or is it child's play to repair the Jingshui canal? In an instant, Zheng Guo's heart was full of scorching flames, and his face was flushed and he was about to stand up, but then he was pulled down by Li Si on his side.

"Don't rush this matter, leave it to me!"

Whispering quickly to Zheng Guo, Li Si walked quickly down the center of the tent.

As far as Zhou Qing is concerned, although it is surprising that the words of these county orders are different from Zheng Guo's words, from the words asked by Qin Wangzheng last night, he seems to have thought of something, and he couldn't help but smile slightly with the anger on Zheng Guo's face.

As for Qin Wangzheng, from Zheng Guo's words before, he didn't make a sound, quietly watching the scene in front of him, no matter how loud their slogans were shouted and how they made a decision, the final decision was still made by the river canal order.

"Listen to me, everybody. The county commanders, county magistrates, and generals, the Qin State uses the military system to control the water, and this shogunate is a military tent, and there is no joke in front of the army. You are angry, claiming to catch up with the construction period of the gourd mouth and rush to complete the summer planting, how much truth do you have in your heart? ”

"Although the gourd mouth is opened at present, the more than 400-mile trunk canal has just begun. The scheduled deadline for the canal order and me is to re-enter the canal in the late autumn of last year and complete it in the late autumn of this year. If you want to grab the summer seeds, you can release water into a canal in more than two months. ”

"More than 400 miles of trunk canals, more than 30 branch canals, hundreds of hair canals, and more Doumen, aqueducts, and sand canals that need to be carefully crafted, for more than two months, without eating, drinking, or sleeping, I am afraid that it is difficult! The key to water control is the first in fine construction, everyone, or be cautious! ”

For several years, Li Si has been in charge of the river canal, ruling the millions of people on the canal, managing all kinds of things, and his prestige is not low, and the people in the tent also respect him.

With such words, the Shaofu on the side of Qin Wangzheng made Zhao Gao's heart burst out, could it be that Li Si was preparing to go against the king's intentions? But looking at the king beside him, he still stood calmly, watching calmly, without any movement.

"Chen Zheng Guo has words!"

Zheng Guo, who stayed on the side, couldn't help it after all, such words were pure nonsense, and now that the Jingshui River Canal is about to be built, if he does it arbitrarily, he won't agree to it anyway.

When the words fell, he stepped out, stood beside Li Si, and met Li Si's surprised gaze, Zheng Guo was unmoved.

"The canal order has words, but it doesn't hurt to say it."

Qin Wangzheng nodded, the core of today's discussion is still on Zheng Guo after all.

"The river canal defended Zheng Guo, Zheng Guo was uneasy, and the matter of the river canal, Zheng Guo had to speak for himself, and Zheng Guo was shocked when he heard that you had completed the river canal in two months."

Zheng Guo saluted again, took out a folding iron ruler from his body, and walked to the general map of the Jingshui River Canal in the shogunate's tent, and at the same time, all eyes in the entire tent also fell on it.

"Everyone, please see, on the plate, the canal inlet and the water outlet gourd, to be formed in the aftermath, the project is not big, but it is all meticulous work. The whole section of 36 miles requires at least 20,000 manpower. ”

"Four hundred and sixty-three miles of trunk canals, plus thirty-six branch canals, and more than three hundred hair canals, who is too long? More than 3,700 miles! At present, the number of strong laborers who can go up the canal is 1.34 million, how many people are leveled in each mile of the canal? Two or three hundred people only! ”

"Building a ditch is not to dig a barrier, to open a ditch, the bottom of the canal has to work, that is, the iron man works day and night, and it is difficult for more than two months! These fortifications are not in a hurry. ”

"Hurry up and boom, can you build a good canal? On the day of the canal, leaks everywhere and breaks in all directions, is it for the people or harming the people? Zheng Guoyan is all here, everyone thinks about it! ”
