In 246 B.C., Korea was weak and fearful of Qin, so it sent Zheng Guo, a hydraulic engineer, to Qin to offer advice on repairing canals. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

Qin is located in the north, every year drought and disaster, if Luoshui and Weishui are connected, build a direct waterway. It not only promotes the development of agriculture and irrigates the land in Guanzhong, but also has great military significance.

But the meaning behind Zheng Guo's canal repair is different. The Qin state was too strong, and Korea bore the brunt of it, which would inevitably consume the economy of the Qin state and delay the attack on Han. In front of everyone, there is such a difficult problem, this channel, whether to repair it or not?

"Zheng Guo is building a canal and secretly doing that spy thing, but this canal, I, Daqin, must repair it. Now I put it forward to let my uncle understand that the purpose of Zheng Guo's coming to Qin was to only build a canal for him and not allow him to participate in anything. Ying Zheng said seriously.

Yingjie frowned and said, "Since it was King Han's plan, why didn't Zheng'er expel Zheng Guo and let him repair the canal?" You must know that the construction of such a channel is a huge project, and the funds of the state treasury must keep up, otherwise the completion of the channel will be delayed. In this way, the state treasury will inevitably fail to keep up, and military development will be severely restricted, which will do more harm than good. ”

Yingzi Chu also said: "This canal cannot be repaired, as long as Zheng Guo presides, the transfer of funds from the treasury cannot be concealed." Such a large project costs a lot of money, and it can be completed in a short time. When the countries know that we are building canals at home, they will definitely know that there is a shortage of funds, and they will definitely use troops against our Great Qin, and then we will be difficult to take care of, and the harm will outweigh the benefits. ”

The two main competitors who seized the throne actually acted in unison on this matter, and the meaning is very clear, we can fight for that position, but we can definitely unify our thoughts on the damage to the interests of the Qin State.

Yingji pondered for a moment and asked, "Zheng'er, the surveillance of Zheng Guo is certain, but should we repair this canal?" Everyone's opinions are similar, the disadvantages outweigh the advantages, and we can't restrict the development of our Great Qin for the sake of a canal. Especially militarily, if I don't use my strength, other countries will attack it. At that time, there will be a danger of losing the country. ”

Holding his fists around him, Ying Zheng said righteously: "This canal must be repaired, everyone says that the disadvantages outweigh the advantages, but I say that the advantages outweigh the disadvantages!" As long as this canal is completed, China's comprehensive strength will surpass that of any country, as long as it is repaired, there will be six major benefits! ”

"First, the north is bitterly cold, drought every year, Daqin's grain has always relied on Bashu, if you expand your power, transportation of grain will become the primary problem to be solved. The construction of Zheng Guoqu can completely solve this problem, one of them. ”

"Second, the land of Guanzhong is a springboard for stepping into various countries, developing a naval army, and solving the problem that northerners are not accustomed to water warfare, and second."

"Three, the beginning of Zheng Guoqu will paralyze the nations, they think that I am in the middle of the Great Qin, and in a short period of time, I will not worry about our country, and third."

"Fourth, when they come to attack, we are already ready and will not respond passively. The initiative is in our side, and we can better plan and make corresponding countermeasures, which is the fourth. ”

"Fifth, Daqin needs ten years of respite, and the treasury needs not much other expenses except for military expenditures, so what are you doing if you don't repair canals? Money is used to make, and by building this canal, you can maximize the economic use, and this is the fifth. ”

"Sixth, the construction of the Zhengguo Canal can drive the development of the surrounding towns, and the civilians will have other things to do besides farming, which will drive them to move, and this is the sixth."

"Zheng'er believes that once the Zheng Guoqu is completed, it will solve the problem of food shortage in Guanzhong, and I, the people of Daqin, will definitely support the royal family. Even when other countries attack, they will spontaneously join the army to resist. After all, the purpose of our canal construction is for our Qin people, how can they let the people of other countries destroy it. ”

"We have six major advantages, and the advantages outweigh the disadvantages, can the elders of the family still find out the six major disadvantages?"

These words made everyone ponder. That's right, whether you build the canal or not, the Six Nations will attack sooner or later, so why not implement it in advance and deal with it preparedly? The drought in Guanzhong every year, for this problem, has hindered the speed of the expansion of several generations of kings of the Qin State.

The roads in Bashu are rugged, and half of the grain and wagons are lost during each transportation process. In the past, the investment in this was not necessarily less than that of canal repair, but even more.

Yingzhu calculated: "If this canal is completed, even if there is another major drought in Guanzhong, the grain of Bashu can also be transported by water." In this way, the cost will be greatly reduced. In addition to Qi and Chu, the Three Jin and Yan Kingdoms are not accustomed to water, and they can attack along the river and win more with less. What lies ahead of us is how to spy on Zheng Guo. ”

Ying Zheng said: "You must send someone to monitor him, just tell him that the king of Qin agrees to build the canal, but the others oppose it." Zheng Guo didn't think much about it, the purpose of his visit was to build a canal and delay our country's attack on South Korea. If he doesn't repair this canal, he has to repair it, and he can even privately send someone to tell him that if this canal is not repaired, the Qin State will immediately start a war against Han. ”

Shang Gong laughed and said: "Good strategy, if I were Zheng Guo, I would definitely go all out to repair the canal, and I would not slack off." Even if he wanted to oppose it, King Han would not agree, and in the days to come, he would have to grasp the balance of the flow of the treasury. ”

Ying Zheng also smiled: "This is easier, tell Zheng Guo directly, King Qin fully supports the construction of the canal, but the minister is against it." Every year, wherever you repair, we will give as many silver taels as you want, and you see if Zheng Guo will work hard to repair the canal. ”

Everyone laughed, this plan is really amazing, not to give you all, only a part. If there is a military crisis, there is an excuse to delay, and Zheng Guo will also find a way to reduce the cost of repairing the canal. Because he understood that after the channel was started, it could not be stopped, and if it was interrupted, Korea would immediately be attacked by the Qin State.

Killing two birds with one stone, not only drove Zheng Guo to go all out to build the canal, but also paralyzed the national policy of various countries towards Qin, which was beneficial but not harmful!

"That's it!" Yingji clapped his hands and said: "Tomorrow, Zhu'er will tell Zheng Guo that this canal will be called Zheng Guoqu, and he will be named after Zheng Guo, and send a special person to assist him in secretly exercising the surveillance." Since South Korea has come up with such a plan, the widow wants to let Zheng Guo stay on the canal every day, and he doesn't even have to come to Xianyang, what can he hear? Of course, the person sent must do his best to assist in repairing the canal, and as long as he needs it, he must give it, and he cannot delay his progress in repairing the canal. ”

Yingzhu nodded and said: "Tomorrow I will tell him privately that building a canal can't hide it from other countries, but it can paralyze them." When the time comes, Shang Gong and I will be together, one will sing white face and the other will sing black face, and Zheng Guo will not see anything. ”

The Zheng Guoqu incident was confirmed, which would lay the foundation for Qin to become the most powerful country.

Yingzi Chu sighed: "My son has worked hard all these years, and he has been wandering outside for more than ten years, so don't go out in the future." Moving into my mansion tomorrow, your mother misses you very much, and the family should be reunited. ”

Ying Zheng shook his head and said: "My identity, I can't say it to the outside world for the time being, if I let the world know that Leng Yue Gongzi is Ying Zheng, my Daqin will definitely become the target of public criticism." There are too many masters in Leng Yue, which will make them afraid, and the master has spoken to me, and my true identity cannot be exposed unless it is time of life and death. If it is exposed in advance, Shizun will not come to help me, but Tian Dao will definitely come! ”

Hearing the name Tian Dao, everyone in the dormitory frowned. The first knife in the world, not a waste of fame, in the world, only a shepherdessman can defeat him. If he came to do that assassin's thing, what would Qin Guo do?

As long as the shepherdess is there, Tian Dao will not assassinate Leng Yue Gongzi, but if Yingzheng's identity is exposed, who dares to guarantee that Tian Dao will not come? The identity of the cold moon prince is too sensitive, he has been rolling at the top of the assassin world, Ying Zheng is the cold moon prince, and if the cold moon supports the Qin State, all countries will go crazy. No king will ignore it, and will send many masters to assassinate him.

Yingji said seriously: "Zheng'er's identity, except for us people, the less outsiders know, the better." If I go and Zhu'er goes, Zichu will make Zheng'er the crown prince. At that time, it was impossible not to make it public, and the businessmen had to take care of it. Zhu'er, you can tell Huayang in private, Huayang knows the proportions, not to mention that she supports Zichu, and she won't make it difficult for everyone. ”

Yingzi Chu sighed: "Then you always have to see your mother!" But when you meet, it will definitely attract the attention of those who are interested. ”

Ying Zheng smiled: "It's okay, Zheng'er misses her mother very much, and I have already thought of excuses." Lin Ye is my Leng Yue person, escorting my wife back to China smoothly, when he returns to Leng Yue. When the time comes, let her mother send Ye'er to Lengyue Mansion, and you can naturally see each other. ”

"At the same time, I want to cultivate my own power, ask my great-grandfather to give Zheng'er 100,000 taels of gold, and assign Yongcheng to me to settle down. The excuse to the outside world is to say that Leng Yue has opened a new stronghold in the Qin State, Leng Yue is too poor, can you other countries be willing to do it? And Leng Yue is really poor, and I am willing to do it, so we will lean towards the Qin State, but they will not interfere in political affairs and the foreign wars of the Qin State, and they have nothing to say. ”

"This money is very important, training dead soldiers, recruiting talents, everything is indispensable. But Leng Yue has no money, and even my Leng Yue Mansion is borrowed from Princess Zhao Guo. Sooner or later, borrowed things will have to be repaid, especially borrowing money from a woman, Zheng'er's face is very gloomy, and he can't afford to lose this face. ”

Yingzhu said with a smile in his eyes: "As a high-ranking person, you really can't borrow money and things from women, but Zheng'er doesn't need to pay it back." I heard that Princess Min Dai of Zhao Guo is recruiting relatives, and she is also from Lengyue, if I take the initiative to propose to Zhao Guo, I will make a marriage first. When the coming-of-age ceremony of Zheng'er is held, the person who will get married in the future must be Princess Mindai. My own woman's things, is that still a loan? ”

Everyone laughed, Ying Zheng was stunned when he heard it, he didn't want a political marriage, but Qin and Zhao both countries needed to recuperate. If his grandfather speaks, King Zhao will agree, because this is Yingzhu's mouth, and no matter which prince marries the princess in the future, he must be the prince of Qin!

What kind of person he says......

And he didn't know that there was a woman on her way to Xianyang. Her name is Ah Fangnu, and the purpose of her coming is to assassinate him......
