Chapter 53: Seeing each other late
Xianyang, Zhangtai Palace, Imperial Study.
Ying Zheng sat behind the Wang case and reviewed the folds.
"Your Majesty, the commander of the Jinyi Guard asks to see you. Lang Zhongling said softly.
Ying Zheng raised his eyes and put the wolf pen on the Beacon Mountain: "Announce him in!"
"No!" Not long after Lang Zhongling left, Ji Gang, who was dressed in a flying fish suit and carrying an embroidered spring knife on his waist, entered the imperial study.
"Minister, see Your Majesty, long live long live!" Ji Gang knelt down, his head on the ground, extremely respectful.
"Excuse me!" Ying Zheng looked at the other party and said, "You came to see the widow, what's the matter?"
"Your Majesty, the minister has two things to tell Your Majesty:
First, the minister has collected the list of women sent by the four wealthy families of Great Qin to Xianyang, as well as the information of important figures of the thirty-six wealthy families, and the minister has also collected all of them;
Second, after the Eastern Sect Master destroyed the Tianxi Sect, the remaining thirty-five sects in Qin urgently gathered in the Liuyun Sect, which should be to discuss how to resist the Sun Moon God Sect. ”
After finishing speaking, Ji Gang sent a thick parchment book to King Qin.
It records the information of important people of the thirty-six wealthy families of the Great Qin.
Ying Zheng didn't immediately check the parchment, and with his hands behind his back, his young face showed a thoughtful look.
After a while, King Qin's eyes flashed and said, "Ji Gang listens to the order!"
"The minister is here!" Ji Gang's face was full of awe.
King Qin said: "The widow ordered you, send someone to pay close attention to the situation of the Liuyun Sect, and if a strong person outside of Great Qin arrives, immediately report to the widow." ”
He was keenly aware that those sects in the Qin State were likely to look for external sect forces to intervene in the Qin Kingdom.
In this way, the Sun and Moon God Cult was checked and balanced, and even suppressed.
Ying Zheng naturally would not let external sect forces interfere in the affairs of the Great Qin Sect.
"No!" Ji Gang said.
Ying Zheng waved his hand: "Okay, you step back first!"
Ji Gang saluted again and withdrew from the imperial study.
Ying Zheng picked up the parchment book and flipped through it.
In the first four pages, each page introduces a woman from one of the four wealthy families, that is, the woman who entered Xianyang to marry the royal family this time.
The first place is named Lu Yuyan.
In second place......
After the introduction of the four women, they were the major figures of the other thirty-six wealthy families.
Ying Zheng flipped through it, the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, and a playful smile appeared.
He put down the book and said, "Prime Minister Xuan is here to see the driver!"
"No!" Lang Zhong ordered someone to send someone to deliver the edict.
Soon, Sima Yi came to the imperial study: "Minister, see Your Majesty!"
"No courtesy!" Ying Zheng handed the parchment to the other party: "Zhongda, look at which of the thirty-six wealthy clans of Great Qin can be used by the widows." ”
He knew that if he wanted to break up the enemy, he had to start from within.
"No!"
Sima Yi's face was full of solemnity, and he took the parchment book.
"Don't worry, Zhongda, take your time!" A smile appeared on the corner of Ying Zheng's mouth and said, "Come on, give the prime minister a seat!"
"No!" Lang Zhongling immediately moved a couch.
Sima Yi arched his hand towards King Qin: "Your Majesty!"
After speaking, the prime minister sat down and flipped through the parchment book.
Ying Zheng sat down after the Wang case and continued to review the unreviewed memoranda.
An hour later.
Sima Yi put down the parchment book in his hand, he had already checked and considered all the characters in the book.
King Qin also finished reading the fold and asked, "Zhongda, how is it?"
"Your Majesty, there are some people who are greedy for power, money, and beauty, and they can be used by my royal family. Lu Zhongsheng, Lu Keyong, Lu Hanshan of the Lu family, and Fan Yu of the Fan family ......," Sima Yi replied.
Ying Zheng was the head, and these people in the prime minister's mouth were the same as he singled out: "Zhongda, the matter of infiltrating the thirty-six wealthy clans will be handed over to you." ”
"No!" Sima Yi arched his hand.
Ying Zheng said: "If you need money, go directly to the treasury and withdraw it from Zhisu Neishi." ”
"No!" Sima Yi said: "Your Majesty, the minister still has something to tell." ”
"You say!"
"Your Majesty, there is a group of Shandong scholars arriving at the Zhaoxian Pavilion, do you want to meet them?" Sima Yi said: "There are several people in this group who are quite talented, especially one of them named 'Zheng Guo'. ”
"Zheng Guo, is he good at water conservancy?" Ying Zheng said curiously.
Sima Yi was slightly stunned: "This person is indeed good at water conservancy, how do you know, Your Majesty?"
Ying Zheng naturally saw Zheng Guo in the Chinese history books.
Originally, it was sent by South Korea to Qin to build a large-scale water conservancy project, which had achieved the purpose of depleting Qin's national strength and exhausting Qin.
Thus, South Korea was preserved.
However, in the end, Zheng Guoqu, which was cultivated by Zheng Guo, made the land of Guanzhong become the granary of Daqin.
Of course, in the process of building the Zhengguo Canal, it did cost the Qin State a lot of manpower, financial resources, and material resources, and the Qin State even had a shortage of troops and financial resources as a result.
The "Fatigue Qin" plan has achieved initial results.
But the Qin king Yingzheng in Huaxia finally realized the true purpose of Zheng Guo's canal repair.
So, Zheng Guo was imprisoned, but fortunately Li Si wrote a letter to admonish him, so he temporarily saved his life.
Then, Zheng Guo told the King of Qin frankly: "The first minister is the middle, and then the benefits of Qin are also good." The minister is the life of Han Yan for several years, and the merit of Qin Jian for all generations. ”
Ying Zheng thinks that Zheng Guo is very reasonable, and at the same time, Qin Guo's hydraulic technology also needs Zheng Guo technically, so as always, it is still reused.
After the completion of the Zhengguo Canal, more than 40,000 hectares (about 2.8 million acres) of fields in the south of the irrigation canal can be irrigated, and the harvest is one minute per mu (100 kilograms), so Guanzhong becomes a fertile field, and there is no more fierce year, Qin can be rich and strong, and finally annex the princes.
......
Ying Zheng said: "Xuan Zhengguo and those Shandong scholars, go to Zhangtai Palace." ”
He wanted to see if this Zheng Guo and the other Zheng Guo were the same.
"No!" Lang Zhong ordered someone to send someone to announce the edict.
Soon, Zheng Guo and other Shandong scholars came to Zhangtai Palace.
Ying Zheng received them and was quite satisfied with these scholars, especially Zheng Guo among them.
The king of Qin decided to reuse Zheng Guo and his scholars.
Of course, at the same time, it also allows Jinyiwei to spy on it, and reuse does not mean complete trust.
In this world, Ying Zheng believes in no one else except for himself and the 100% loyal people recruited by the system.
Ying Zheng is not ready to build Zhengguo Canal for the time being, he wants to build Dujiangyan first, which is also a super project for the benefit of the country and the people.
Dujiangyan and Zhengguo Canal were built at the same time, and the Qin State could not withstand the huge economic pressure.
You can only complete one of them first, and then move on to the other.
In time, when these two super water conservancy projects are successfully constructed, the Qin State will definitely be able to greatly increase its national strength and lay a solid foundation for the unification of the eastern countries.
The next day, Li Bing, the county guard of Shu County, arrived.
Ying Zheng summoned him alone and listened to him explain in detail the construction concept of Dujiangyan.
Dujiangyan is organized and built on the basis of the excavation of the turtle spirit of the predecessors, and it is composed of parts such as the fish mouth of the water separation, the flying sand weir and the mouth of the treasure bottle.
Dujiangyan has been built to prevent floods and irrigate, making Shu a "country of abundance" with water and drought from people and fertile fields, with an irrigation area of nearly 10 million mu.
According to Li Bing, if it is only relying on the power of Shu County and one county, it will take about 20 years to build Dujiangyan.
If the king of Qin allocates eight million taels of silver and mobilizes a large number of manpower, it can be built in a few years.
Ying Zheng immediately made a decision and allocated 8 million taels of silver to build Dujiangyan.
Li Bing didn't expect that the young King Qin was so far-sighted and decisive, and he was so excited that he knelt on the ground: "Minister, thank Your Majesty for the people of Shudi, long live, long live, long live!!
"Li Junshou please!" Ying Zheng personally helped Li Bing up and said, "The widow will arrange a helper for you!"
"Helper?" Li Bing was curious.
Ying Zheng said in a deep voice: "Xuan Zheng Guo is here!"
"No!" Lang Zhong ordered to pass the edict.
Soon, Zheng Guo arrived.
Ying Zheng looked at the two major water conservancy masters and smiled slightly: "Li Bing, this is the helper I arranged for you, hydraulic engineer Zheng Guo, you can have a good chat." ”
An hour later, Li Bing and Zheng Guo came out of Zhangtai Palace, and the two great water conservancy masters couldn't help but feel sorry for each other.
Ying Zheng believes that with Li Bing and Zheng Guo co-chairing the construction of Dujiangyan, the progress of the project will be made in a rapid way.
It is also good to turn Shu into a country of abundance as soon as possible, providing abundant grain and grass for Daqin.
......
Three days later.
Lu, Fan, Zhu, and Sui, four wealthy girls, entered Xianyang.
