"It should be agreed." Zheng Guo hesitated slightly, but Zhao Huaizhong did not give a definite answer.
"Are you not sure? What did Chu Qin say?" Han Yu was a little dissatisfied.
"He is very interested in my suggestions... Well, no, I feel that the people of Qin may have plans to build water conservancy projects, and he knows a lot."
Zheng Guo: "He said he would think about it, but I feel that the water conservancy project is in line with his wishes and there will be no problem."
Han Yu finally showed joy on his face: "So Sir, you only entered the room for two quarters of an hour before Qin Chu agreed to your plan?"
Zheng Guo hummed: "He and I had many discussions on water conservancy, and he asked me if I wanted to open up the Jingshui River, divert it eastward, and merge it into the Luoshui River.
Yuhou, do you think it’s strange?
Qin Chu’s words are so consistent with our suggestions!”
Han Yi has been overwhelmed by great joy.
The people of Qin themselves are also considering building water conservancy projects. This is better, and they will not doubt that their suggestions are a plan to weaken Qin.
This trip to Da Qin was a dream start.
Han Yi reluctantly suppressed the joy in his heart, and then said with some contempt: "It turns out that this boy is still young and greedy for success. He wants to get credit in front of King Zhuang Xiang, and then he is moved by Mr.'s words.
, that’s why it’s so easy to believe what Mr.
This is a very happy event, sir, you should take credit for it."
Zheng Guo shook his head, thinking that I didn't say much, so how could Qin Chu take the lead in everything?
Han Yi added: "It's also possible that the gift we sent impressed him..."
Zheng Guo said in a muffled voice: "As a gift, he only accepted the East China Sea mussel beads that I carried with me. The rest of the items were declined and not accepted."
"..."
Han Yi looked stunned.
At this time, the carriage set off, carrying Han Yi and Zheng Guo, and returned to Jingqian Palace where they were staying.
The Crown Prince's Mansion.
After Zhao Huaizhong left Zheng Guo, he returned to his dormitory and took out a small box. Inside was a silver-white pearl the size of a coin, which was shimmering and beautiful.
If you look closely at the bead, it seems that there is a pool of sea water. The tide is surging inside the bead, and there is a faint blue halo, which is really wonderful.
According to Zheng Guo, every time the moon is full, this bead will have the vision of a clam girl emerging from it, hazy and swallowing moonlight. It was something he accidentally found from the bottom of a big river when he was controlling water in his early years.
Zhao Huaizhong accepted the clam beads and asked Liu Qi to return a gift of equal value to Zheng Guo.
"Zheng Guo said that when the clam girl in the bead appears, she can still sing. Isn't this an ancient music box?"
After observing the clam beads for a moment, Zhao Huaizhong placed the beads on the bedside as a night light and fell asleep immediately.
In the next few days, Zheng Guo traveled around to lobby, and the situation was both worrying and happy.
There were many wise people among the Qin people who directly saw through the Han people's purpose and unceremoniously rejected Zheng Guo's proposal.
January 5th, early morning.
Xianyang Palace, Chaohui Hall.
Zhao Huaizhong stood between the ministers and King Zhuang Xiang, watching the quarrel among the ministers below with narrowed eyes.
The core of the dispute revolved around Zheng Guo's suggestion: should we build water conservancy projects at this time?
"The Han people entered Qin for only three to five days, but they visited everywhere, looking for people and gifts."
"What is the purpose? Is it possible that no one in the Qin Dynasty can see through their plan?"
"The Koreans want us, the Qin Dynasty, to give up invading Korea and build water conservancy projects in order to consume our country's national power. We must not believe it..."
At the beginning of the court meeting, the officials of the Qin Dynasty divided into two camps and had disputes. Most of them opposed the construction of water conservancy projects.
Most ministers pay more attention to the immediate pros and cons.
Zhao Huaizhong stood under King Zhuang Xiang and thought silently: Some historical records seem to say that the people of Qin were very divided on whether to build the Zheng Guo Canal or not.
It was the First Emperor and Lu Buwei who agreed and overcame the opposition of the ministers and decided to build the Zhengguo Canal.
Historically, Lu Buwei was one of the most important people who promoted the construction of Zhengguo Canal.
At this time, Lu Buwei was standing in the forefront of the ministers, his eyes half-squinted, and he did not participate in the dispute among the ministers from beginning to end.
King Zhuang Xiang also seemed hesitant.
Although he was also a monarch who worked hard to govern, and during his reign, the Qin people's national power grew stronger, but due to the limitations of his vision and knowledge, he was far from being called a hero, and he lacked great strategies and opinions.
"I listened to the opinions of the ministers and felt that it was indeed beneficial to build water conservancy projects, but repairing them at this time would consume a lot of national power and go against the policy of our Qin people to go eastward.
What does Prime Minister Lu think about this matter?" King Zhuang Xiang asked.
Lu Buwei said slowly: "Repairing water conservancy will save our country from future troubles and lay the foundation for the eastward expansion.
The minister's proposal should be revised."
Shaofu, one of the nine ministers, is an old man with a clear face.
He was responsible for the royal family's taxes, expenditures, income and other matters, and immediately stood up to oppose: "If we build water conservancy at this time, we will inevitably invest a lot of money, and we will no longer be able to divide our troops to go eastward.
Moreover, this is a Korean plan, how can we know it is a plan and still step into it."
Lu Buwei said calmly: "So what if it's a plan? Who will benefit from this plan? Can't the young man see clearly?"
Zhao Huai thought it was my turn to play, so he took a step forward and said, "Father, my son also has something to say!"
King Zhuang Xiang looked gentle: "If you have anything to say, please feel free to say it."
Zhao Huaizhong said: "I listened to what my ministers said. They are all worried that building water conservancy projects will delay the eastward movement. But if we don't build water conservancy projects, can we go east smoothly?"
The young man who spoke just now has a stubborn character, and anyone dares to quarrel with him. He immediately came out again: "If you don't build water conservancy, the national power will be abundant, and you will go eastward.
The prince had not seen that the Korean people were being forced out of breath by our great Qin, otherwise why would he have carried out this plan and come to our great Qin to offer water conservancy?"
Zhao Huaizhong asked back: "Even if we can go east smoothly, does the young man think that with the power of Qin, we can capture Han? After occupying Han, can we capture Wei and Zhao again? If we capture Wei and Zhao, can we enter Chu? What about Yan Qi?"
?”
The young master was stunned for a moment, thinking that your ambition is too great.
We are talking about water conservancy and the attack on Korea. If you drag all the six countries into it, it will be a struggle for the whole world.
However, Zhao Huaizhong's words also made the Shaofu and those who opposed the construction of water conservancy projects understand what Zhao Huaizhong and Lu Buwei meant.
Both of them were laying the foundation for the world from a higher strategic perspective, so they agreed to repair water conservancy.
There is no right or wrong in this matter, but differences arising from different perspectives on the issue.
After Zhao Huaizhong finished speaking, Lu Buwei raised his head and glanced at him, his eyes flashing brightly.
This is the first time that Zhao Huaizhong has spoken out at the North Korean meeting and stood on a united front with Lu Buwei.
And these two were the two most influential to King Zhuang Xiang.
After hearing the analysis of his son and Lu Buwei, King Zhuang Xiang was somewhat inclined to build water conservancy projects, but he did not make a decision on the spot. He suppressed the discussion for further reasons out of concern.
However, both Lu Buwei and Zhao Huaizhong knew that the construction of water conservancy projects was very likely.
The meeting broke up.
When Zhao Huaizhong left, he thought to himself: Here, the construction of the Zhengguo Canal will obviously be implemented faster than in history. We should start preparations now. The soil will be loose and moist in the spring of next year, and the ground can be broken.
It is said that in the inherent history, Zheng Guoqu was cultivated for ten years, but it obviously does not take such a long time in this world. After all, the practitioners are all giant monsters.
With far superior supernatural power, the construction of the Zhengguo Canal will definitely be shortened significantly. The specific time is difficult to estimate, but it will not exceed three to five years at most.
"In Chinese history, Zheng Guo entered Qin as a spy, concealed the purpose of the Koreans, and lobbied the Qin people to build the canal. There seems to be some deviation here, turning the construction of the Zheng Guo Canal into a conspiracy.
When Zheng Guo lobbied, he was not too subtle.
This is only reasonable, otherwise how could so many people not see through this Korean plan?"
The sun sets in the evening and the night begins to fall.
In the night, the black bird soars, as if shuttling among the stars.
Zhao Huaizhong and Jiang Shu, who was wearing a moon-white thin coat, were walking on the street.
The girl's delicate face is filled with a smile, and her eyes are bright under the eyelashes as thick as small brushes.
The red fructose skewers, also known as candied haws, which Zhao Huaizhong ‘invented’, are now very popular in Xianyang.
Jiang Shu also took a bunch in her hand, and bought another bunch and handed it to Zhao Huaizhong.
Seeing Zhao Huaizhong take it and take a bite, Jiang Shun immediately narrowed her big eyes and smiled softly.
In the evening, Zhao Huaizhong sent her back to Huacaoju, returned to the Crown Prince's Mansion, and took out the ghost-faced bronze medal.
He stretched out his hand to seal the seal, and the ghost inside quietly emerged, floating in front of Zhao Huaizhong without even touching the ground. It was quite scary.
