"Uncle Master, Hequ Commander Zheng Guo and Hequ Chief Li Si are waiting aside!"
Not long after, the canal officials headed by Zheng Guo and Li Si arrived at the top of the valley on the side of the shogunate, where the country's protector Xuan Qingzi's training place was and where the medicine house was.
Due to the existence of Yaolu, thousands of people have been saved in the past year, and even more because of the existence of the country-protecting mage Xuan Qingzi, there are fewer and fewer problems in the river canals.
Zheng Guo and Li Si both knew that the people of the six kingdoms of Guandong did not want Qin to build this canal. They originally only wanted to have millions of people to guard it, but those people did not dare to take action. It was a pity that the canal checkpoints were destroyed every few days.
It made them both worried.
However, after that, the corpses of people from the six kingdoms of Guandong were hung on the canal. It was the protector of the country, Xuan Qingzi, who used Mo Da martial arts to capture the thieves. In the past two or three months, there have been many corpses on the canal.
There is no such thing to hate anymore.
It is said that in the middle and lower sections of the Jingshui River, there were also patrols sent by the king himself, who also killed many disloyal people from the six kingdoms of Guandong. Although Zheng Guo himself did not like killing, at this time, those who
People are killed, but there is no opinion.
Coupled with the vague news mixed in the King of Qin's book, Zheng Guo and Li Si were even more shocked. They did not expect that last year's nationwide march to the canal and this year's strategy of slowing down the tax were both the work of the protector of the country, Xuan Qingzi.
.
In this way, the two of them were even more horrified. The master was obviously an expert in the world, but his planning of important national affairs was far beyond that of ordinary people. There were even matters that the important ministers in the Qin court could not solve, and they fell into the hands of the master easily.
.
In addition to the second document sent by the king, the two originally wanted to make their own decisions, but Li Si suggested that they first ask Master Xuanqing before acting on it, and Zheng Guo agreed.
Sitting cross-legged on the high platform, lavender light flickered all over his body, and an invisible quiet mysterious light bloomed all over his body. He moved his steps side by side, and Xu Shou said a word. After hearing this, Zhou Qing's body stood up leisurely, and as he stepped, he
To Zheng Guo, Li Si and others not far away.
"The master's strategy saved millions of people. Zheng Guo thanked the master on behalf of the people on the canal. If this is not the case, I don't know what the situation is now!"
As a water engineer from the Shui family, I naturally know what is most needed if you want to build a canal!
Is it people power?
Is it financial resources?
Is it material resources?
All these are not the core. The real core is the country's policy and the king's determination. Ever since he knew that Qin Wangzheng wanted to build the Jingshui canal, Zheng Guo had been fully prepared.
However, despite all the preparations, there was a severe drought. In the six countries of Shandong, the people had long been left to fend for themselves. Wherever they were willing to store grain in the warehouse, they were not willing to support many old, weak, women and children.
Although the Qin law is extremely harsh, the King of Qin is not a harsh person! The people in the Qin court are not even disloyal people!
With the master's two strategies, not only will millions of people be brought to the canal, but the subsequent construction of the canal will be faster and morale will be higher. If the content of the second king's book is exposed, it is estimated that the completion speed will be even faster.
in advance.
"The people of Qin have not failed you and me, so why should you and I fail the people of Qin!"
"Zheng Guo, it's not me you want to worship, but them. Without them, even if you have good strategies, what's the use? Without them, how could Qin be strong? Without you, how could the rivers and canals be built."
"Xuanqing is just a helper, so he can't be a big deal."
As he waved his hand, a soft force lifted Zheng Guo up. At the same time, he stopped Li Si and other Qin officials beside him. He turned slightly, spoke slowly, and pointed with one hand at the people who were densely packed in the distance working on the canal construction site.
common people.
"I heard Li Si's words earlier and said that the master came from hundreds of schools of Taoism. Now when I look at it, the master's actions seem to be inaction, but in fact he does everything. Zheng Guo once visited Xiaoshengxian Manor and understood the essence of Taoism."
"Everything is yin and yang, determined by the universe. When it comes to the method of balance and mediation, Taoism can be the first. Today, the king issued a total of two volumes of royal books. In addition to the first volume of tax suspension, there is also a second volume."
"Therefore, we would like to ask Master Yu, how should we make a decision regarding this second volume of the King's Book?"
Listening to Zhou Qing's words, Zheng Guo's expression became more and more emotional. Perhaps this was an expert outside the world. If it were the people of Xiaoshengxian Manor who could offer these two strategies, they would have gone without knowing where they were.
He spoke slowly, and looked at each other with everyone beside him, all of whom were extremely respectful. He had great merit, but said nothing. As a protector of the country, he had a noble status, but he always stayed on the Jingshui River. All kinds of things,
Masters can be extraordinary people.
Before he finished speaking, the conversation changed. Zheng Guo took out a paper king's book from his arms and handed it to Zhou Qing with both hands. It seemed that this second volume of king's book had something special. Zheng Guo and Li Si looked at it.
In the light of inquiry, Zhou Qing took the king's letter, opened it and looked at it.
There is only one sentence above:
The King of Qin wanted to visit the Jingshui River in person. What was the order for the river?
With a glance, Zhou Qing closed the king's book and handed it to Hequ Ling Zheng Guo. This king's book was asking about Hequ Ling Zheng Guo, not Xuan Qingzi, the guardian of the imperial censor.
"If the king comes to the Jingshui canal in person, you should know the benefits it will bring. Even so, you still come to ask me. I think you want to know if the king comes to the canal in person, whether he will interfere with the canal and disturb the canal.
process."
"Li Si, what do you think?"
Over the past many months, Zhou Qing has become very clear about the temperament of Zheng Guo and Li Si. It has to be said that both of them are talented. Zheng Guo is pragmatic and knows farming, while Li Si has talents and strategies, otherwise he would not be able to do it alone.
, and arranged the nearly two million people on the canal properly.
In addition, Li Si also has another advantage that Zheng Guo did not have, that is, vision and strategy. If you switch to Legalism, he is proficient in the theory of political governance and has power and strategy.
If it was Li Si who responded to this book of kings, there would definitely be no hesitation from Zheng Guo. However, Zhou Qing wanted to put this question on Li Si and wanted to know how he would respond.
"The master's eyes are like a torch, and he can see our worries at a glance."
"Everything about the river canal has been according to the fixed plan. The river canal order means that it is good for the king to visit the river canal in person, but visiting the river canal in person to boost morale is enough."
"Li Si thinks so!"
After going around in a circle, he finally turned the topic to Hequling Zheng Guo, bowed his hands in a bow, and looked a little solemn. The reason why he suggested that Zheng Guo come here to ask the master was because of the implication of the document issued by the king.
Xuan Qingzi, the protector of the country, has been a protector of the country for several years since he entered the Qin Dynasty. He is also a member of the Taoist Tianzong. He is aloof from others. However, in recent years, it seems that the king has begun to assign titles and official positions to the master intentionally or unintentionally.
First, he was the right concubine of the Qinian Palace, then he was in charge of the position of Shaobao, and now he is the governor of the river canal. Not to mention that the name of the protector of the country has been spread in private by the king, and his reputation has been raised. It is absolutely extraordinary for him to be so valued by the king.
"Haha, Li Si, you really deserve to be born under Xun Kuang's sect."
"River Canal Order, don't worry. You can respond to the king's letter how you should. As long as the canal can be built, here...you are the biggest!"
Zhou Qing smiled brightly and said helplessly to Li Si. Then, he cast his eyes on Hequling beside him. He must have already thought about how to plan this matter. He was afraid that Zheng Guo came here because of Li Si.
"The master's words brought peace to Zheng Guo's heart!"
As expected, listening to the words of the protector of the country, Xuan Qingzi, felt very different from listening to the words of Li Si. Although both of them said the same thing, with the master's smooth words, it seemed that for a while, my heart felt much more at ease.
Afterwards, everyone left Zhou Qing without staying here.
******
"Little Master Uncle, the two strategies you offered have now spread throughout the Jingshui River. I'm afraid it won't be long before everyone in the Qin Kingdom knows your name, Little Master Uncle. However, I don't know what the King of Qin thinks or how.
Publicizing this at this time?”
Watching Zheng Guo's group leave, Zhou Qing was still pacing at the top of the valley, looking down at the situation for dozens of miles around. Xu Shou on the side suddenly had doubts, took a step closer, and whispered.
"Why do you think King Qin did this?"
Hearing Xu Shou's words, Zhou Qing smiled softly. Unexpectedly, Xu Shou, who was ignorant of ordinary political affairs, also thought of this. Then, it must be more thoughtful for the people in the Qin court.
"This..., the King of Qin has spread the name of Junior Master throughout the entire Qin Kingdom. Could it be that he wants Junior Junior Uncle to stay in the Qin Kingdom completely? Probably not. Junior Junior Uncle, you are now the protector of the country."
"Is it because you want to upgrade your title to a noble title? This... doesn't seem to be the case. Your title of protector of the country is longer than that of a concubine. If you continue to advance, you will become a marquis."
"Xu Shou really can't guess it, little uncle, do you know?"
Surrounded by all kinds of thoughts, Xu Shou quickly thought in his heart why the King of Qin did what he did. Was it because he wanted to keep the young master in Qin completely? After all, the young master was unparalleled in both martial arts and literature.
I still want to use my huge achievements and popularity to improve my junior uncle's title, but for him, the title is useless and dispensable. I don't care about it either. For a while, I was really not sure.
"Hahaha, Xu Shou, you are really smart."
Zhou Qing originally wanted to refute Xu Shou's words, but after thinking about it carefully, it seems that Xu Shou's unintentional words may not be the target he deduced. Now that he thinks about it, he is afraid that his identity, Qin Wangzheng, has long been known.
However, one thing is certain, Zhou Qing is sure that his identity has not been known to Qin Wangzheng for a long time! How exactly his identity is known, Zhou Qing is not sure for a while, but since it is a doubt, it will definitely be solved in the future.
On the Jingshui River Canal, the name of the national protector Xuan Qingzi was spread widely, the important achievements of the two strategies were combined, various rituals were blessed, and the blood was noble and unparalleled. As expected, all the results will be revealed after the Jingshui River Canal is completed.
"It seems that after the Hequ incident, Zong Quan should take over my position and take charge of Xuanqing Palace!"
