Chapter 55 Meng Tian

Zheng Guo was extremely excited, with tears flowing, and his face was full of sunshine. It was so joyful.

Zheng Guo was originally a commoner in South Korea. He was determined to control water for South Korea, but he was not valued by the King of Korea and never did. He had no choice but to enter Qin, and was valued by Qin. He was entrusted with important tasks and presided over the construction of large-scale water conservancy projects like Zheng Guo channel. This was a great honor for him.

Now, when it comes to nature, Qin Yiren actually ordered this canal with his name. What an exciting thing. At this moment, Zheng State has a deeper understanding of the words of King Zhao of Qin, "If you are not afraid of your talent in Qin, you are not afraid of your talent; if you are not afraid of your great achievements in Qin, you are not afraid of your great achievements."

Qin did not say it, but really did it. In Qin, you can be valued and entrusted with important tasks. As long as you have talent, you will get the reward you deserve as long as you make contributions. Even if this reward will steal the limelight from Emperor Qin. Qin Yiren named Zheng Guoqu by Zheng's name, it was a complete thing to steal the limelight from Qin Yiren, but Qin Yiren was not at all displeased, which was enough to convince people.

Qin Yiren raised his hands, and Qin's people stopped cheering, their eyes widened, staring at Qin Yiren, waiting for Qin Yiren to continue speaking.

Qin Yiren did not disappoint them, and then said, "The victory of a battle is only a victory; the success of a canal will be successful in the present and the benefit of future generations, and will benefit from it for generations. Therefore, I decided that the merits made in this canal will be based on military merits!"

This is very reasonable. It is difficult to win a battle, but a victory can only have one achievement. The completion of Zheng Guoqu can be effective for generations and can benefit countless people. It is no less effective than winning a battle. It is worth using military merits to make achievements.

"Long live! Long live yours!"

The Qin people raised their heads toward the sky, waved their arms vigorously, shook their fists fiercely, and shouted loudly.

The roar was very hard. The blue veins on the forehead, neck, arms, and back of the hands were swelling, like the twisted branches of an old tree.

The Qin people were "happy when they heard the war" and regarded war as a joy like eating meat and drinking. The most wished they wanted to make in their lives was naturally military merit. The Qin Yi people counted the merit of building canals as military merits, which was an extremely happy thing for the Qin people, and they would not be able to do so if they were not happy.

Qin Renren's face was filled with joy and cheering desperately. It was not until a long time before he stopped.

"The Zheng Guo canal has been established now, and it is convenient to use water. Come home and rush to plant it!" Finally, Qin Yiren waved his right hand, which was very powerful.

"Go home! Sowing!" Qin Yiren burst into cheers. The horse riding, the car riding, and walking, sweeping away like a strong wind. After a few hours, the originally dense crowd disappeared.

"Let's go! We'll go back to Xianyang to celebrate the merits!" Qin Yiren roared and said, "This merit must be celebrated!"

"This merit will be celebrated!" Fan Sui, Bai Qi, Wang Jian, Huang Shigong and others responded in unison.

The success of Zheng Guoqu was extremely meritorious, which was even more important than winning ten or eight major victories. This celebration was necessary. Although Qin was frugal and rarely had any celebrations, everyone recognized Qin Yiren's handling at this time.

So, Qin Yiren and others rushed back to Xianyang. They came to the palace, had a short rest, took a shower, and then got together to drink.

Today's banquet was specially issued by Qin Yiren to be more generous. Despite this, it was just stewed with fat sheep, bitter vegetables, pot and some wild game. There were only ten dishes in total.

If this type of banquet is in Shandong, it can only be called a shabby banquet, but it is not worthy of being called a banquet. However, it is already a very rich banquet in Qin. If it weren't for the Zheng State Canal that was built into such a major event, there wouldn't be such a rich banquet. This is the frugal style of Qin.

Despite this, everyone was extremely interested. When they were drunk, they were all happy and happy, which made them more interested than eating delicacies.

As for a banquet, it is not about whether it is rich, but about the interest. If you are not interested, even if you are delicacies, it will be boring; if you are interested, even if you are just a little bitter vegetable, it will be very interesting.

When he was drunk, Fan Sui put down his wine, clasped his fists at Qin Yiren, and said, "Your Majesty, Zheng Guoqu has been built, which is a great joy for the Qin Dynasty. Those who have made contributions should reward him. Please ask the emperor to deal with it."

Qin Yiren has already said that this time, the construction of the canal requires military merits to be used to make contributions. This is only for ordinary Qin people. For important figures such as Zheng State, Li Bing, Li Si, and Cai Ze, it is time to do this.

Everyone nodded slightly, smiled all over their faces, and agreed with this.

"Datian Ling is old and has resigned many times. I have never agreed to it because there has never been a suitable candidate. Now, Zheng Guo has come naturally and has a new Datian Ling, and this person is Cai Ze." Qin Yiren nodded slightly.

"Me?" Cai Zeda was surprised and almost hit the short case with his chin.

Although Cai Ze was very talented and knowledgeable, he made great contributions to the canal repair this time, which was his first initiative, but he never thought that he would become the Datian Order, so he could not help but be shocked.

Datianling is equivalent to a combination of modern ministers of agriculture and finance ministers. It must be in charge of agricultural production and financial affairs. Because the Qin State in the Warring States Period was a major agricultural country, without industry, even commerce could not account for much proportion, even though Qin State had a large merchant like Mrs. Qing.

In a word, Datian Ling manages Qin's money bags, how important this is!

"That's right, it's you." Qin Yiren affirmed Cai Ze and said, "You are a famous scholar, good at making money. If the Qin Dynasty wants to spend all day, it needs countless wealth. Apart from you, I really can't find someone more suitable than you."

Cai Ze is a famous scholar of Ji Ran. In modern terms, he is a top student in economics. The best thing he is to make money. If Qin wants to have a whole world, he needs strong financial support. Cai Ze is the most suitable field for people to choose.

"Congratulations to Lord Cai!" Fan Sui, Bai Qi, Wang Jian and others all agreed with Qin Yiren's words and congratulated Cai Ze.

"..." Cai Ze's eyes were still wide open, like a stone sculpture, without reaction.

"I dare not, I dare not." After a long time, Cai Ze woke up and accepted the fact that he was already Datian Ling. His face was flushed. He could finally use his plan to make money for Qin.

"Originally, the contribution made by Zheng State was that he would do the Datian Order. However, I thought about it. Zheng State was still mainly responsible for farmland water conservancy." Qin Yiren turned his head to attack Zheng State and said, "I mean that Zheng State must not only manage the farmland water conservancy of the Daqin, but also plan for how to control water in the future."

"I am willing to take this life!" Zheng Guoang's face turned red.

Zheng State didn't care much about whether to be an official. His greatest wish in his life was to manage water, and he wanted him to be in charge of Qin's farmland water conservancy. This was exactly what his temperament was. Moreover, Qin Yiren asked him to prepare for water control after the future unification, which made him so excited. As a peerless water worker, Zheng State would not know how many rivers and lakes needed to be managed at that time.

The great harm of rivers and lakes in the Warring States Period was shocking, and it can be said that it was the most in Chinese history. It was not only natural disasters, but also man-made disasters.

The Warring States Period was a great division and the struggle between the princes and the struggle was in chaos. Not to mention a big river like the Yangtze River and the Yellow River, even a small canal may have dozens or hundreds of dams.

For example, Zhoushi, the area of ​​Zhoushi is only a few dozen miles. It was divided into two groups to Duke of the Eastern Zhou and Duke of the Western Zhou. They built embankments on the water, one who had to plant wheat, and the other who did not release water. They fought over and over again for decades.

This is just a battle on water that costs only a few dozen miles, and it is even more powerful. The Wei State once did a stupid thing that caused a sensation in the world, that is, the Wei State led the rivers that harmed Wei State to other countries. Countless people drowned and almost broke out in war.

Similar things happened in Qi and Yan. Qi first built a dam, and then released water on a large scale. Yan State was flooded and countless people died. This is an important reason why Qi and Yan made enemies.

From this we can see that after unification, it is inevitable to manage rivers and lakes, and it is still a huge project, so we have to plan in advance. This matter is appropriate to leave to Zheng State.

"Li Bing, I originally wanted you to do this with Zheng State, but Li Erlang wanted to train the naval army and had too many affairs. You, the prefect of Bashu, should you go back to Bashu." Qin Yiren didn't want Li Bing to return to Bashu. The situation was so he had to do so.

Li Bing took the order happily without saying a word.

"Li Si, I will send you an important task." Qin Yiren said to Li Si: "You are good at coordinating and calculating. I want you to replace Mr. Le Yi and preside over the investigation of classics, mountains, and geography."

After Le Yi entered Qin, he was the first to preside over the academic hall, and the second to preside over the investigation of classics, mountains and geography, which was to prepare for the governance after the future unification. During the chaos of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the mountains and rivers changed, but there was no accurate information, so it was difficult to manage after unification. If this matter was done in advance.

However, Le Yi is old and has no energy anymore. It is the individual who should be sent to share the burden for him. This person is Li Si.

The reason why Li Si is most suitable for this matter is not that he is good at coordinating and calculating, but that he is good at innovation, which has been verified by history. It is precisely because Li Si is good at innovation that he has resisted the opposition and asked Qin Shihuang to abolish the feudal and establish counties.

If Li Si is in charge, he will definitely put forward many realistic and innovative measures.

As for the general direction, Qin Yiren does not need Li Si to give advice. After all, Qin Yiren is a modern person, and his concept is more novel than Li Si. However, Li Si needs to give advice in terms of details and technical aspects.

"No!" Although Li Si was not promoted, Li Si was extremely excited and his face was full of excitement. For Li Si, he was unwilling to change even if he gave him a high position as prime minister.

Because this position will show its importance in the future, it is to prepare for the unification, which means that the governance after unification must be designed by Li Si. What a glory!

Not to mention, this is the governance after a great struggle. If you win, it will become a template for generations. The governance of later generations must be done according to Li Si's design. How exciting it is!

"Wang Wan, go to Luoyang and assist Sima Geng in building the granaries." Qin Yiren said to Wang Wan.

Zheng State was born in a state of success. Guanzhong had a stable harvest of drought and flood, and the food and grass would soon increase. This would require transportation to Luoyang, a strategic base in advance. Only in this way can this battle be easy to fight.

"Before the troops move, food and grass will go first."

"No!" Wang Wan happily accepted the order.

After the banquet, everyone performed their own duties and the Qin State returned to peace.

On that day, after Qin Yiren finished his official duties, he walked out of the study room. He saw Xiao Yingzheng coming with his head held high and his chest was raised. Behind him was a little dumb, with a bruised nose and a swollen face. He was neither someone else, but Meng Tian, ​​who had been famous for all ages.
