Chapter 287: The Shogunate (1st Shift)
Patrol the imperial history, added as a patrol, survey people, under the command of the imperial historian, but this time the Qin Wang government to give the group, but not under the jurisdiction of the imperial historian, the king of the book down, the edict is revealed.
"Childe, are you going north to protect Zheng Guo?"
Taking over the book from Zhou Qing, Yun Shu quickly took a look at the contents, the sentences were not long, the meaning was very clear, and the most important thing in today's canal repair matters was Zheng Guo.
If Zheng Guo dies, then, in the entire Qin State, I am afraid that there will be no more water workers who can replace the other party, and this person has Ying Zheng's great expectations for him.
After the canal is repaired, the entire Guanzhong will become fertile soil, and the old Qin people no longer have to guard the saline-alkali land and Baimaotan to live a difficult life.
After reading the book of the king in his hand, Yun Shu's beautiful eyes flashed and looked at Gongzi. If Gongzi leaves Xuanqing Palace, then there will only be Sister Langyu and Sister Flame Lingji as companions in the entire Xianyang.
"Yes, what Zheng Guo is doing now is not trivial, and now, the people requisitioned within the Qin State have exceeded 500,000, and it is expected that within two years, Jingshui will be introduced, and the canal will be connected to Weishui, benefiting tens of thousands of hectares of land, and millions of old Qin people will benefit."
"But because of this, more than half of the energy in the entire Qin country is spent on it, and the Kwantung countries want to use small means to disrupt the construction of canals, and I am the protector of the country, and it is the right time."
"Moreover, Concubine Dongjun Yan of the Yin and Yang Family, and Mr. Gai Nie of the Ghost Valley also went to the Northland, next, I will not be in Xianyang, you and Lang Yu will have a good life and practice."
Bowing slightly, in order to repair the canal, more than half of the energy of the Qin State was blessed on it, and it was nothing to send himself and others to the Jingshui area, and it was just to protect Zheng Guo, which was even more relaxed and casual.
Sensing the reluctance rippling on Yun Shu's body, he gently lifted it with one hand and landed on his shoulder, his skin was soft and smooth, and unconsciously, a touch of blush was born on his cheeks.
As soon as the words turned, his eyes looked at the side of the window, and his slender hands were falling on the bed piano, gently plucking, and the graceful sound of the piano swirled, which was a natural sound.
"Childe is going to take Sister Flame Spirit Ji to the Northland with him?"
Sure enough, Yun Shu quickly discovered another piece of information from Zhou Qingzhi's words, for several months, Sister Flame Spirit Ji had been in a state of cultivation in the Xuanqing Palace, and her cultivation had improved very quickly.
Childe took the other party to the Northland this time, although he was a little dissatisfied, but he also understood that with the cultivation of the Flame Spirit Ji God level, he could help even more, compared to the Flame Spirit Ji, his own cultivation and Sister Lang Yu were much worse.
"Flame Spirit Ji's fire charm technique has been cultivated to perfection, and I will be of great use."
Within the Guanzhong, the nine waters spread, and the villains of the Kanto countries are hidden in it and cannot be noticed, for this, the flame spirit Ji with fire charm can play a miraculous effect, although he can do it.
However, during the trip to Sanchuan County, his information is estimated to have spread throughout the Kanto countries, and if he comes forward, he will only startle the snake and cause unnecessary hidden dangers, so it is better to take Flame Lingji on this trip.
"After I go north, if you and Lang Yu have nothing to do in the palace, you can go to Xicheng District and take care of that mansion!"
"The follow-up to "Heaven and Man Tribulation" has also been left here for twelve times, and it will come out in January, which is enough for a year, and there will be people from the Taoists outside the city when the time comes."
The mansion, which had been set last year, although it was already owned by himself, had never been occupied, and although it was regularly cleaned by servants, it was less popular after all.
"Childe, please rest assured, Sister Langyu and I will do a good job."
Compared with the matter of the son's going north, taking care of the house is just a small matter. As for the announcement of "Heaven and Man Tribulation", Gongzi's oral book, written by himself, has been written to the fourteenth chapter, which coincides with a series of events in Chen Tangguan Nezha.
It's really interesting, many immortals, many treasures, and what is more attractive is that it happened in the last years of the Shang Dynasty eight hundred years ago, although it is inconsistent with the official history, but it is likeable.
******
The next day, Zhou Qing took Yan Lingji, Xushou and a group of Xianyang retinues, carried Wang Shu, and said goodbye to Concubine Dongjun Yan and others of the Yin and Yang family, Mr. Gai Nie and others in front of the gate of Xianyang Palace, passed through the northern gate, and went to the Jingshui River Valley area where Zheng Guo was located.
Out of Xianyang, to the north is the land of Guanzhong of Pingchuan, the fertile soil of Qinchuan, for hundreds of years, since the old Qin people expanded from Longxi to the east, this is the foundation of the place, even a hundred years ago the most powerful Wei State, has not been able to occupy it.
What is Qinchuan?
The fertile soil of the mountains and rivers of the Qin country is called the Qinchuan!
It was named a hundred years ago, and it was also known as the land of Guanzhong.
Qinchuan is rich in water, fertile and cultivateable, and is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and it is difficult for soldiers to invade.
What is good water?
Available water!
For thousands of years, the plague of the water system has been a serious illness of Zhuxia, three generations ago of the five emperors, whether it is Emperor Shun, or King Yu, are in the life of many water control, combing the river, there is now the land of Zhuxia.
For three generations, the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period have risen together, the land of Zhuxia has reached Liaodong of Yan State in winter, the land of Qin State in the west, the Yunmeng Daze area in the south, and the Yunzhong region in the north.
Although there are many water systems, the benefit of water is not obvious, for hundreds of years, the countries have risen together, in order to enrich the country and strengthen the army, the water family came out, the world's water workers, lifelong figure out the service, still how to eliminate the flood, make it a good water.
In order to eliminate hidden dangers, it is necessary to control the water, and the elimination of river flooding is naturally the first priority, and irrigation and the opening of shipping are still secondary. Whether it is the Han River of Chu State, or the introduction of Zhang into Ye of Wei State, the chasm of Liang, and the Dujiangyan of Shuzhong, its initial purpose is to create beneficial water.
The land of Qinchuan, nine waters and eighteen pools, eight hundred miles from east to west, has a lot of beneficial water, and is blessed with unique nature. It is precisely because of its unique endowment, so since the three emperors and five emperors, Guanzhong is recognized as a place of beauty in the world, where the Zhou people who have created a ritual civilization based on the profound farming tradition have been born.
After King Ping moved eastward, the Qin State occupied this place, and had its own foundation, thanks to the generous gifts of heaven and earth, Qinchuan seemed to have become the world's first-class rich area.
However, with the current accession to the throne of Qin Wangzheng, Qinchuan is far from being the richest place in the world. The east is not as good as the coastal area of Linzi of Qi State. The south is not as good as the two banks of the Huaishui of the Chu State. It is inferior to the Great Liang Plain of Wei.
If it weren't for the fact that a hundred years ago, the Qin State had the policy of cultivating the country and fighting the country, and there were many victories in foreign wars, and it was not enough to claim the wealth of the world by relying on its own output alone.
The reason for this lies in the two major problems in the land of Qinchuan: the white hairy alkali beach and the dry land near the water.
The rivers are crisscrossed, the ponds are impregnated, and the low-lying waterlogged areas of the Qinchuan River often generate patches of peculiar saline-alkali land. Water-soaked all the year round, wet into brine for a long time, the ground leached out of the white alkali flowers, a vast ocean in summer and autumn, white dust in winter and spring, planting grains does not produce a seedling, such grains do not grow in the white wool land, the old Qin people call it "salt-alkali beach".
These fields, even though they are beneficial and have a lot of water, are still fields of great harm, adjacent to fertile fields but with poor drainage, and are swallowed up in three or five years, and in the blink of an eye they become barren alkali flats with white fog in the wind.
Once the fertile land turns white, even if the farmers work hard to repair the canal and drain the water, they will not be able to change it back for ten or eight years. The old Qin people have many bitter sounds: water, salt, flowers, alkali, beaches and no fields, white soil kills grains, and thousands of wolf smoke.
The western part of Qinchuan is slightly higher and has convenient drainage, and such alkali flats rarely grow. However, as soon as you enter the central part of Qinchuan, which is gradually opening up, starting from Daxianyang to the east where Luoshui flows into Weishui, these white hairy alkali beaches will frequently grow, and patches of bald spots in the green fields are so ugly that they are abhorrent and deplorable.
And now such a scene, naturally also fell into the eyes of Zhou Qing, from Xianyang, all the way to the north, soon into the Jing water, did not take a boat, but across the Jing water, the longitudinal horse continued to go north, as far as the eye can see, the saline-alkali flats are countless.
"Uncle Xiaoshi, it's no wonder that King Qin is trying his best to repair the canal!"
"The land of Qinchuan is not only hundreds of thousands of hectares, the foundation is no less than the fertile soil in Shuzhong, but if it is such saline-alkali land, it is equivalent to a desert, countless Qin people are empty here, and they have not produced, and in the long run, there will be trouble!"
A group of more than 10 people walked in the western area of Qinchuan, the terrain gradually rose, and the eyes were naturally getting farther and farther, when the summer harvest was approaching, in that piece of sparse world, the blank area everywhere was very eye-catching.
Even if there are canals, but in this situation, the old Qin people do not look at the easy use of canals, water diversion is not discharged, a few years later, it becomes a saline-alkali land, if the water is diverted, into it, the water system is unimpeded, washing saline-alkali, a few years later, Guanzhong achieves fertile soil.
This is the ability of the water family!
"Weishui traverses the Qin State, divides the north and south, there is no such situation in the south of Weinan, Weibei is common, Jingshui enters Weishui from the northwest, Jingshui is 800 miles to the east, it is Luoshui."
"The land of Guanzhong is mixed between Jingshui and Luoshui, Zheng Guozhi's ability, surveying the topography, connecting Jingshui and Luoshui, connecting the water system, the day of the canal, the white hairy alkali beach, the dry field near the water does not exist."
"In this way, the land of Guanzhong and the land of Shu can be the two foundations of the Qin State!"
Zhou Qing took the lead, the sun was scorching, the sun was scorching, looking at the old Qin people who were busy in the fields on both sides of the road, they had a lot of fields, but they were hindered by the two major harms of the white soda beach and the dry fields near the water.
The harvest here is obviously much less than the land of Weinan that I had seen last year, and it seems that since April, now the end of May has arrived, no rain has come, the fields are dry and cracked, and the harvest is even more silent.
The farther north, the terrain gets higher and higher, with staggered earth and ravines, and is close to the river. The old Qin people lived by looking at the water, which seemed to be reclaimable and cultivated, but it was dry near the water, and it was barren and difficult to harvest.
Qin has been a hundred enemies for a long time, and there are not many hydraulic workers in Qin, even if the canal is repaired, it is even more difficult to build the slopes, not to mention that in the past hundred years, there have been many foreign wars, and many strong men have entered the army.
Men and women who remain in the plough may be conscripted as baggage servants at any time. The county and county offices had to deal with the war requisition, and it was impossible to plan for water conservancy, and even if there was a plan, it would not be possible to squeeze out a large period of time to concentrate the people's efforts to build canals and divert water.
The rise of the Qin State since the filial piety of the Emperor and the Han Valley in the east, it is really unimaginable that it can be a strong Warring States and dominate the Warring States under such circumstances, and Zhou Qing is even more so, and a close look at the current situation of the Qin State is full of emotion.
According to the history books that he watched from Xianyang Palace, the water in Guanzhong was there from the time of Shang Jun, and then the successive prime ministers of the Qin State had tried their best to solve the two major evils in Guanzhong, but they were finally stranded due to various sudden events.
Shang Jun Fang Li planned, but when Xiaogong died suddenly, he was also torn apart by the sudden change in the court situation, and the water conservancy came to naught. The generation of King Hui and Wang Zhangzi repeatedly encountered the six countries to contain the rise of the Qin State and repeatedly attacked Qin.
In the early and middle period of King Zhaoxiang, the Qin State and Shandong were in a life-and-death duel with the Zhao State, and almost the whole country was a soldier, and there was no time to take care of anything else.
In the later period of King Zhaoxiang, Cai Ze of Ji Ran's family made a detailed survey of the Weibei area, and put forward countermeasures in the book: more than 40,000 hectares of dry fields near the water in Weibei, and more than 20,000 hectares of Baimaoalkali Beach. When the Jing is led out of the mountain, condescending to the south to irrigate the pass, the drought is solved, the salt and alkali are discharged, and the fertile land is greatly increased, then the wealth of Qinchuan is limitless!
When Cai Ze was planning the Guanzhong Water Conservancy was about to be launched, but at the trough of the Qin State and the internal and external difficulties, King Zhaoxiang had to pursue the strategy of "defending the country and consolidating the country", carefully handling the prince's major affairs, and the water control had to be put on the shelf.
King Xiaowen Zhuang Xiang for two generations and four years, Lü Buwei led the country, and wanted to develop the economic growth to enrich the Qin State, but in the face of successive crises, stabilizing the court situation became the first priority, and he was never able to solve the root cause of the Guanzhong economy.
Except in recent years, with the reduction of Qin's foreign wars, Lü Buwei appointed Zheng Guo to renovate the canals, but with the current situation, according to the character of Qin Wangzheng, it seems that this diversion into the water is not impossible.
All the way to the north, through Jingyang, the north road is high, not a few, is to reach the key place of the diversion project - Gukou, close to Gukou, more and more farmers of the people, in order to repair the canal, Wang Shu down, has been from the counties of the Qin State to collect more than 500,000 people.
From the upper reaches of Jingshui in the western part of Guanzhong to the mouth of the Luoshui River in the east, it stretches for nearly 800 miles from east to west.
Everywhere there are black tents, everywhere there are ox carts and people and horses moving, everywhere is filled with cooking smoke and fluttering flags, and there is a living battlefield of continuous military camps that has never been seen before.
Holding the Wang Shu, led by the Jingyang County Order, it is to go straight to the Gukou Shogunate, which is the core place of today's canal repair, and it is also the place where the entire canal repair project personnel gather.
The canal Ling Zheng Guo and the canal Cheng Li Si are there, and the rest of the relevant Qin State hydraulic workers are also among them, and the spiritual sense spreads, enveloping the area of thousands of zhang in a radius, and the dense gathering of people's power is really not easy to detect strange people.
"Master, the river canal order Zheng Guo is among them!"
Jingyang County ordered in front, riding a horse under him, leading Zhou Qing and his party into the valley, the people on both sides of the valley came and went, the ox carts were continuous, feces and urine were rampant, the smell was unpleasant, and it seemed that the place to eat was not far away.
Even if it is a land that grows freely in the land of Baiyue, the people are open, and the civilization is not obvious, the flame spirit Ji frowns at it, but there is a son by his side to empathize, otherwise, he can't stay alone.
"Let's go in!"
The Jingshui Shogunate was set up in the Jingshui River Valley, and it was evening, and the mountain recess where the shogunate was located was dark, and the torches of the patrolling soldiers were dotted with light.
The loess field in front of the shogunate has been sprinkled with water, but it is still covered with dust and mist. In the middle of the field, there is a large semi-open cowhide tent, surrounded by torches, and in the middle of the black press stands rows of workers.
