Chapter 313: Zheng Guoqu (End)
And on the first day of the first month, this is the day of the water release ceremony set by Qin Wangzheng and many officials of Jingshui River Canal!
After more than two months of tackling key problems, the completion date was advanced from the end of the very beginning to the autumn planting, and then advanced to the summer planting, which seems to be only one or two months in advance, but for the entire canal project, it is a problem.
Green hills on both sides, a large white stone ditch passes through the canyon. The east and west hills are crowded with thousands of men, women, and children, waving flags and drumming and playing loudly. Under the stage of the cloud car general in front of the shogunate, everyone of the princes and ministers of Yingzheng was talking at the top of their voices, although no one could hear anyone, they were still talking loudly and happily.
Nearly noon, the river canal Sima came to report: all the doumen, aqueducts, water falls, water crossings, trunk canals, branch canals, and the intersections of the Mao canal outside the gourd mouth have been surveyed again, and there is no error.
The people on both sides of the main canal are in good order, just waiting for the water to be released.
King Qin got the report, waved to Zheng Guo and Li Si and shouted, the two immediately understood, turned around and walked up to the general platform together, and with a split of the order flag, the big flag on the cloud car in front of the stage was waved left and right, and the drum noise all over the mountains gradually subsided.
"The auspicious time has come, and the king of Qin beats the drum to tell the sky!"
The canal made Zheng Guo's passionate voice reverberate up and down.
"King Yingzheng of Qin prayed to heaven: leading Jing into Luo, opening canals to irrigate fields, the foundation of the livelihood of the people of the Qin State. The drought of Tiangong Qin forced my Qin people to fight with the sky, and fought to the death with flesh and blood, so as to lead Jingshui to the east. ”
"The Qin people live up to the heavens, and the heavens would rather bear the Qin country! May God protect the Qin country, protect me Jing water, the long flow continues, the fertile field in Guanzhong, and the years are abundant! Today, the Jingshui canal is completed, according to the wishes of the Chinese people, according to the general practice of the world, the Jingshui canal is named - Zhengguo Canal! ”
Qin Wangzheng also looked very happy, bowed left and right, slowly walked to the drum rack, took a pair of long drumsticks handed by Hequ Sima, and once again bowed to the sky, shouting loudly, looking extremely excited.
When the words fell, Qin Wangzheng's drumsticks hit the cowhide drum hard, and the rumbling sound shook the canyon. Zheng Guo and Li Si not far away on the side were excited, especially Zheng Guo, whose face was slightly old because of being out for a long time, was radiant at the moment.
"The King of Qin set the name, and the Jing River Canal was introduced as the Zheng Guo Canal!"
The canal made Li Si once again proclaim the name of the Jingshui canal to the many Qin people who were watching here, and this name was true whether it was based on the practice of the law or the invitation of the common people.
"Zheng Guoqu!"
"Zheng Guoqu!"
“……”
The overwhelming shouts suddenly flooded the entire area where Jingshui Gukou was located, and the old Qin people who participated in the construction of the Jingshui canal cheered, especially the 23 counties in Guanzhong, which benefited a lot from the canal.
"The canal order is open and the water is released!"
After a long time, Hequ Cheng Li Si spoke again, and in an instant, Zheng Guo, who was standing high on the stage, became the focus of attention, although he was not good at this, but at this moment, Zheng Guo was happy to do it.
Holding the folding iron ruler in one hand, extending it all, holding a long iron ruler in his hand, facing the eyes of Qin Wangzheng, the eyes of Xuan Qingzi, the protector of the country, and the eyes of the old Qin people around.
After the half-pillar incense, the canal made Zheng Guotie ruler into the water, waved his big hand, the gourd hole opened, the water entered Luo, and the water mist mixed with the rich smell of dust swam away along the opened canal.
"Jingshui River Canal, Cheng!"
With the words of Zheng Guo falling with the canal, in an instant, around the entire Gukou Shogunate, on both sides of the long canal, thousands of old Qin people seemed to hear Zheng Guo's words, and cheered again.
Looking back at the past, this kind of scene has not been seen in the land of Guanzhong, and looking through the annals of history, it is only on the day of the completion of the Baili Canal opened by Baili Xi in the western part of Guanzhong during the Mugong period hundreds of years ago.
Today, this Jingshui Canal, which is covered with the blood of the Qin people for more than 400 miles, has become the real first canal in the world. Once the water is released, how can it not evoke the long-term memories and customs of the old Qin people?
Although the Jingshui Canal has been completed, most of the Qin people still gather on both sides of the canal and have never left, wanting to see the Jingshui Canal in person.
From the moment Jingshui entered the canal, there were a large number of old Qin people who followed the water head and kept going down, hoping to go hand in hand with this water head and go to the Luoshui where the eastward tour was located.
Zheng Guoqu!
It finally appeared, Zhou Qing stood quietly in the canal and whispered in the dark, respecting the instructions of the Qin Wangzheng, always guarding the side of Zheng Guo in the canal, chasing the water head with him, until Jingshui and Luoshui were connected.
At the same time, with the completion of this canal, the foundation of the Qin State was completely cast, and there was no longer any external force to stop it.
In the long run, this Zhengguo Canal will bring unimaginable benefits to the Qin State, although it is impossible to speculate for a long time, but looking at it in front of you, after three years, the Qin State will have enough foundation to go east, if you stay for five years, everything is ready, why should the six countries of Shandong be afraid?
The soldiers of Great Qin, known as the army of tigers and wolves, are feared by the countries of Shandong!
The heritage of Daqin is cast today, and after three or five years, how can the countries of Shandong compare!
The courtiers of the Great Qin, the return of thousands of rivers to the sea, the order to seek merit, the relics of the Shang monarch flickered, how can the countries of Shandong compare!
"The general trend of heaven is mighty, and if you go with it, you will prosper, and those who go against it will die!"
"The Qin State can be under one day, and the Qin State will be under one day!"
"The years are long, God is unfair to the Qin State, why did the country collapse suddenly, Win Qing came here, inherit the blood of Win Qin, and the Great Qin Kingdom Zuo should continue to last, and it will not fall for eternity!"
Staying on the Jingshui River Canal for a year, Zhou Qing came into contact with the old Qin people day and night, such simple and thick old Qin people, such bloody old Qin people, such martial and domineering old Qin people have long become a unique symbol of the Qin State.
In the long years of the cause, more than 20 years later, the Qin State died suddenly, the Win Qin clan was wiped out, the old Qin people were slaughtered, and the land of Guanzhong was covered with bruises, and such a tragic situation flashed in his mind.
Zhou Qing was covered with dazzling purple auspicious light, and the center of his eyebrows was a mixed Taiji diagram flickering, supporting Zheng Guo step by step, walking the whole water head, watching Jing Shui pour into Luoshui.
"The Qin State will surely become the most shining and eternal light in Zhuxia!"
Lang Lang laughed, his thoughts were extremely smooth, his whole body returned to the original vision, and his words flowed, spreading the void world.
"Hahaha, what the master said is reasonable, the Qin State will definitely become the most shining light in Zhuxia!"
Zheng Guo, who was not far away, seemed to hear this, and he also laughed loudly, and then, looking at the old Qin people who walked with him to the end of the canal, such an ethnic group will definitely go down one day.
"Hahaha!"
The two looked at each other and laughed endlessly.
******
The Jingshui River Canal was completed, and the protector mage Xuan Qingzi who guarded Zheng Guoqu, the palace protector Yin and Yang family Dongjun Yanfei, and the chief swordsman Mr. Guigu Gai Nie gathered together again.
Although during this period, when Zhou Qing inspected Zheng Guoqu, they also had feelings with each other, but they could not enter into a conversation, and today they were closed, and finally relieved their responsibilities, and the three of them walked together to a place next to Zheng Guoqu's entry into Luoshui.
There, Qin Wangzheng and other important ministers of the dynasty were listed, Zheng Guo, Li Si, Li Lian, Bi Yuan...... In the columns, in the open field, all kinds of rough meals are placed in front of everyone.
Approaching the front of the line, the same meal visited the front, dry pot helmets, warm dried meat, and shallow mutton soup, three things in front, Zhou Qing smiled slightly, savored it, and the same was true of Gai Nie and Dongjun beside him.
Eat and drink to your heart's content, and get down to business.
The results were as expected, the whole line was unbroken, cracked, seepage and leakage, all branch canals and canals were smoothly flooded, and no county reported failures.
Zheng Guo returned to the general, and pointed to the iron ruler of water exploration and put down a sentence: Jingshui River Canal is 463 miles, the whole line is solid and smooth, and the fields are smooth, ten years later, Guanzhong is rich, and Jingshui Canal is completed!
After Zheng Guo finished speaking, everyone including Ying Zheng breathed a long sigh of relief. Li Jian and a few old water workers who have been running around for many years sighed, and even said that this Zheng Guoqu is unbelievably fast, unbelievably good, and teaches people as if in a dream.
"Li Lian, you report the number, how much does Zheng Guoqu irrigate?"
Li Jian was originally a Bajun Cheng, but also the son of Li Bing of Shu County decades ago, when the construction of Dujiangyan was built, he also participated, and now he participated in Zheng Guoqu again, and there is an honor.
Qin Wangzheng sat on the top, drinking herbal tea, and looked at Li Jian with a red face, Zheng Guoqu cast, his heart can finally be put down, and all kinds of big things can be done.
"Zheng Guoqu, the direct beneficiary of 23 counties, and the indirect beneficiary of all Qinchuan. More than 4.6 million acres of dry land in Guanzhong can become fertile fields for drought and flood protection! ”
"Another more than 2 million acres of saline-alkali flats, three or five years later, will also be generally fertile land! If Shandong immigrants are accepted in saline-alkali flats, it can accommodate as many as 50,000 or 60,000 households! In this way, the hinterland of Qin can increase the population by more than 500,000. ”
"Under normal circumstances, each mu can produce grain for one minute, and the national treasury can accumulate at least 300,000 husks of millet every year. Five or six years later, the wealth of Guanzhong will be the best in the world, and decades later, the prosperity of Guanzhong will inevitably surpass Linzi! ”
In these, Li Jian was like a few treasures, his expression was excited, and he hurriedly got up and bowed, and read out the data that had been calculated a long time ago.
"Ling Cheng, is that really the case?"
Although he knew that this could not be fake, Qin Wangzheng still looked at Zheng Guo and Li Si on the side.
"That's the lowest calculation!"
Asked by this, Zheng Guo replied proudly.
"How can we ensure harvest in drought and flood?"
Qin Wangzheng was asking, and he was suddenly interested in these.
"My king, the foundation of drought and flood harvest protection lies in the fact that the Jingshui River Canal is not just a trunk canal, but a water network woven by more than 3,000 branch canals and canals."
"The power of the water network lies in the connection and communication of most of the Chipi rivers in Pingchuan in Guanzhong, the water source is abundant in dry days, the canal is constantly waterlogged, the drainage is smooth in waterlogged days, and the water is not retained. Qin's laws are strict, if you can establish a set of laws for managing water and water, Qinchuan is undoubtedly the country of abundance! ”
"Qin's laws are strict, if we can establish another set of laws for managing water and water, Qinchuan is undoubtedly the country of abundance! Coupled with the method of irrigation and drainage, the two evils in Guanzhong will no longer exist, the saline-alkali flats will disappear completely, and the white hair will only exist in the annals of history. ”
Zheng Guo responded quickly again, and gave Qin Wangzheng all kinds of responses to water engineering and agricultural affairs. After the completion of the Jingshui River Canal, Zheng Guo's whole person was much more energetic, and he was a little more active between his actions.
After a while, all kinds of discussions about Zheng Guoqu became more in-depth, Qin Wangzheng's expression became more and more joyful, and the remarks of Zheng Guo and Li Si were more and more appreciated by the dignitaries present.
The next day, the news of the completion of the Jingshui Canal spread through the merchants and spies of the six Kwantung countries.
It is said: Zheng Guo came out, and the world shook!
