A few months ago, Linzi was involved in a chaotic war. Wu Zhenjun sent a letter to himself, asking him to pay attention to what was going on in Nanyang, South Korea. Through channels, spies were collected, and Bai Qianhong knew everything that had happened in Nanyang recently.
Otherwise, I would not have taken the lead in coming to the city lord's palace today to lobby Ye Teng, the Nanyang guard. Since the Qin army attacked Han and trapped Wancheng a few years ago, and Nanyang was abandoned, Ye Teng, Lord Ye, in front of me, has been very sad.
There have been some changes.
Otherwise, the envoys coming to Xinzheng would not be dragged away without any response. They hold the crucial Nanyang land and have heavy troops under their command. With their ability, they can definitely defeat Tianze.
But he did not do this. Allowing the thieves to grow bigger would not only support the bandits' self-respect, but also increase his weight in the entire South Korea. Although he was not in the center, every move he made would affect the general trend of the entire South Korea.
In the hearts of these people, they no longer have the same devotion to and service to South Korea as they did a few years ago, or they may no longer be willing to be chess pieces, but hope to become a chess player, a chess player in charge of their own destiny.
The crisp voice fell, and he stood quietly in the hall, looking up with bright eyes, waiting for the person's response. He had already said what he needed to say, and it was up to him to make the decision.
"So, the girl is here today to persuade Ye Teng to defect to Qin?"
Holding the warm jade teacup on the table tightly with one hand, he kept stroking the surface of the teacup with his fingers, frowning, facing the dazzling figure in the hall, pondering for a long time, and then stopped slightly in his hand and whispered.
Of.
"No."
"Wu Zhenjun once said that in today's Xia, the era of great strife is over, and the world is approaching a general trend. Wouldn't it be a pity that a hero like Mr. Ye would waste his life for a weak Korea."
"It is said that good birds choose trees to live in, good ministers choose their masters to serve, men die for those who know their friends, and women look for those who please themselves. The land of Nanyang has already shown a prosperous attitude in the hands of Mr. Ye. He has lived here for many years. Is it possible?
Sir, don’t you think about the hundreds of thousands of officials and people in Nanyang?”
The showman shook his head gently. With the eyes of the other party, he could not fail to see the current situation in South Korea. If he continued to stay in South Korea, he would only put himself in crisis. Gui Guzongheng's plan was exactly the way to go.
In the past, Zhang Yi fought with the ministers of the six kingdoms of Shandong, and Su Qin lobbied the six kingdoms but failed to cooperate with each other. The one he relied on was a benefit! The world is prosperous, all for the benefit of coming, and the world is bustling, all for the benefit of the going.
Everyone has their own interests and feelings. If they can be known with affection, lured with benefits, and threatened with threats, then nothing can be accomplished.
"Those who make good use of the world in ancient times must measure the power of the world and guess the feelings of the princes. They measure the power without judging it, and they don't know the importance of strength and weakness. They judge the mood without judging it, and they don't know how to conceal the changes."
"I didn't expect that Lord Wu Zhen would have such a talented girl under his command who is proficient in vertical and horizontal principles. If he follows the girl's words, what good will it do to Ye Teng? If he talks about his life, there is nothing to be afraid of!"
What the other party said really moved me. The situation in South Korea was already in a state of decay. If Han Fei, the Ninth Prince of Xinzheng, could have implemented reforms ten years earlier, maybe South Korea would have undergone new changes.
But now there is not much time left for South Korea. He holds the land of Nanyang and can surrender to Qin or Chu. In this way, his life can be saved. So, without enough chips, how can he move his heart.
Putting down the warm jade tea cup that he was holding tightly in his hand, the way of vertical and horizontal is a game, to gain the greatest benefit for himself, and the calm voice fell. However, before Bai Qianhong in the hall could respond, the sturdy waiter from before came out again.
He walked in sideways and whispered in his ear.
"benefit?"
"In the past hundred years or so, many talents from the six kingdoms of Shandong have entered the Qin Dynasty, many of whom have reached high positions and held noble titles. The Qin State adheres to the rule of law, and those who have merit must be rewarded, those who have merit must advance, those who have merit must be honored, and those who have merit must be praised.
"
"Today, even if Qian Hong promises you the benefits, you must be uneasy. If your master surrenders the land of Nanyang to Qin, it will not be difficult for the ministers. If your master helps Qin to destroy Han, it will not be difficult for the nine ministers. If your master helps Qin, it will not be difficult."
If the country is unified, it will not be difficult for the king to wait for him."
"How you decide depends on your heart. Since you still have distinguished guests coming to your door, Qianhong and the others will not disturb you and will take your leave for the time being!"
Hearing the reason, Bai Qianhong's pair of almond-shaped eyes were filled with spiritual light. She bowed her hands and walked in the hall, her spiritual awareness spreading. The voice of the messenger just now did not escape her own envelope, but it was the messenger from Xinzheng who had arrived.
Bai Qianhong naturally knows why. Just like before, the truth is clear and talking is useless. Ye Teng is not a fool. He will make the wisest decision. In this way, the mission of this trip to South Korea should be completed at the ninth level.
As for Baiyue Tianze’s rebellion, it’s nothing to worry about!
******
Autumn of the thirteenth year of King Qin!
The Qin State is located in a remote area in the west. During autumn and winter, it is even colder than the other six countries in Shandong. In addition, the sun is shining brightly in the sky, resulting in a huge temperature difference. The extremely harsh weather has trained the strong physique of the old Qin people.
In late autumn, the countless fertile fields in Guanzhong covered by the continuous water of the Zhengguo Canal are already full of green. Two years have passed since the Zhengguo Canal was built. Now, the thousands of miles of salt-alkali flats have disappeared, and the thousands of miles of white hair are even more prosperous.
Not obvious.
One after another, the old Qin people looked at their fields, at the land soaked by fertile water, and their mottled faces blown by the cool wind were full of pride and pride, which was a symbol of the coming year's harvest.
Moreover, due to the delay in collecting taxes by the King of Qin, next year, all the grain arrears owed to the government can be paid. After a little calculation, there is still a lot left. Thinking of this, one by one the old Qin people
Even more joyful.
"Da Tian Ling, Guanzhong can be so grand and prosperous all because of your contribution. You have great achievements but cannot be rewarded generously. Ying Zheng feels ashamed."
Due to the Zheng Guo Canal, millions of acres of dry farmland in Guanzhong have been turned into fertile soil. Coupled with the waterwheels and other objects left here by Wu Zhenjun, hundreds of thousands of acres of fertile farmland can be expanded again.
This scale is no less than the area covered by Dujiangyan in Shu County. On the north bank of the Weishui River, Qin Wangzheng was dressed in thick uniforms, with several people and horses behind him. Looking at the greenery, he was filled with joy.
In order to build the Zhengguo Canal, Qin State consumed almost all of its granary reserves, but by this time next year, I think it won't be a problem to fill them one by one. If we continue, we will have a surplus.
And those foundations are the confidence of the Qin Kingdom in the future. All of this was brought about by Da Tian Ling around him. At first, he wanted to directly make Da Tian Ling a marquis to show his inner excitement, but unfortunately, he was defeated by Da Tian.
Ling refused.
"How can Zheng Guo have great achievements? He is just a hydraulic engineer, and his practice is not the normal way of hydraulic engineering. Moreover, the king does not care that Zheng Guo is suspected of being tired of Qin, but he still uses it seriously. If he is rewarded with a big reward, Zheng Guo will feel uneasy."
"Compared to Zheng Guo, your Majesty should reward these old Qin people. It is precisely because of them that the great Qin Dynasty is now strong!"
After the completion of the Zheng Guo Canal, in the Zhangtai Palace, Zheng Guo was granted the title of Datian Order for his merits, and was ranked as a high minister, with a distinguished status. On this trip, former general Meng Tian, Chang Shi Li Si, Yu Shi Zhang Cang, Shaofu Ling Zhao Gao and others accompanied the king in person.
Zheng Guoqu has become a routine in recent years.
Every autumn and winter, the king would always come here with his ministers to see the endless green fields. In midsummer, he would personally see the feeling of the treasury being full. Seeing such a scene, Zheng Guo also felt sad in his heart.
Very emotional.
"Ling Datian is very humble. The plan to weaken the Qin Dynasty is a strategy of Korean rule. It is not on the stage, so I won't say more. Speaking of which, a few days ago, I had a document exchange with Wu Zhenjun. Wu Zhenjun once said, if I really want to
When the Datian Order is sealed, we should ask the Datian Order to find and open another water channel for Qin."
"Wu Zhenjun's words are very popular with everyone. The Qin State is located in a remote area in the west, where water flows together. We should use the Wei River, Jing River, Luo River, and river water as the top. There is great potential for developing water conservancy. Why is the Datian Order?"
The contribution of the Zheng Guo Canal was no less than that of the military generals who attacked the city and destroyed the country. Hearing Zheng Guo's words, King Qin Zheng smiled brightly and walked slowly on the path beside the fields. The cool breeze blew, and his breath was filled with the fragrance of vegetation.
pleasant.
When mentioning the reward, Qin Wangzheng seemed to think of something again, a smile flickered on his face again, his body turned slightly sideways, and he looked at Zheng Guo with a pair of bright eyes, full of hope.
"The development of water conservancy is the responsibility of the Datian Order. Your Majesty, please do not mention the reward again."
"Speaking of it, Zheng Guo does have a water canal plan in his mind. If it succeeds, even if it is not as good as the current Zheng Guo Canal, it will still be able to achieve more than half of its achievements and irrigate more than two million acres of fertile farmland."
"It's just that now is not the time to dig."
When mentioning the development of water conservancy, Zheng Guo suddenly became energetic and looked north. That was the irrigation area where the Zheng Guo Canal passed. Looking around, his eyes stayed on the south side. Looking from a distance, the clear sky was the same color, the hills were undulating, and the water flow was gentle and lingering.
Sleep.
After a few breaths, he bowed and bowed his hands, spoke slowly, and shook his head gently.
"Oh, Datian Ling is worthy of being the top hydraulic engineer in the world today. He actually has another water conservancy project in mind. Let me tell you quickly, if it is feasible, I will immediately send someone to dig it. It does not need to be half of the Zheng Guo Canal, but it is half of it."
"I will definitely not be stingy with my ruler. Why should I be a long history?"
The Qin State adhered to the rule of law and was based on farming. However, the land of Qin State had insufficient water conservancy for several years. The terrain was no longer flat in the Central Plains. Water flow was irrigated at random. Rivers and canals had to be dug to connect the fertile fields.
Hundreds of years ago, the State of Qin had a Baili Xi River, which still plays an important role today. The completion of Dujiangyan several decades ago gave King Zhaoxiang peace of mind and boldly marched out of Hangu.
Now, Zheng Guo has succeeded, and the general trend is in hand. If he wants to go eastward, he must conquer the general trend at once. If he wants to conquer the general trend at once, he must use his own power to compete with the entire six Shandong countries for national strength.
It is true that the more water channels, the more fertile fields and fertile soil, and the stronger the foundation, the better. Hearing this, King Qin couldn't help but feel happy, he clasped his hands tightly, a crisp sound spread, and his red phoenix eyes turned,
It fell on Li Si beside him.
With the current national strength of the Qin Dynasty, it should not be difficult to dig another canal. As a long history, Li Si should be very clear about this.
"The construction of a canal that accounts for most of the work of the Zheng Guo Canal is enough to confer a title of king. However, what Da Tian Ling said is true. Now is not the time to dig a new canal."
"I think Daejeon Ling's thoughts are the same as Li Si's. Otherwise, Daejeon Ling's plan would have been written down long before the king's case!"
