Chapter 231: The Great Project

"Knock.. Boom.. Boom.."

On the road leading to Hangu Pass in South Korea, the soldiers of the Qin State lowered their heads, lined up in a neat queue, and approached step by step, probably because their steps were neat, so every step could make a sound similar to a war drum, this sound made the enemy cold, and for the Qin people, it was a kind of enjoyment, and the Qin officials along the road heard this sound, smiled, and understood in their hearts that this was the sound of triumph.

Wu Anjun once again created his own myth, this time the battlefield is very large, from Shangdang to Nanyang, there are many enemies, the alliance of the four countries, the commander is Wei Wuji, Jingyang these fierce generals, but even so, Wu Anjun still defeated the other party, he led the Qin pawn across the thousands of miles of front, the Chu State once again moved the capital and fled, the South Korea almost collapsed, and the Wei State and Zhao State could only hurriedly send people to negotiate peace.

The territory of Qin has been expanded again, Korea is directly surrounded by Qin from three sides, the Liang of Wei is also exposed in front of Qin, not to mention Chu, it is not to mention that it was directly driven out of the Heluo Central Plains, and can only shrink in the southeast, only Zhao, although Zhao did not pay any painful price, but his allies were weakened to the extreme, and Zhao himself had no way to fight Qin alone.

Since Wu Anjun became the commander of the Qin army, the Qin State has not been defeated, not once.

Just in the position of the Chinese army of the army, Meng Wu was melancholy, he stood on the chariot, looking at Bai Qi sitting on the side, Bai Qi was coughing all the time, no matter day or night, he was coughing, when he fought against Wei Wuji, he was already like this, at this moment, his condition was even more serious, the shaking of the chariot aggravated his condition, Meng Wu persuaded Bai Qi to stop and rest, but Bai Qi did not appreciate it.

Sitting on the chariot, Bai Qi only felt that his ears were full of buzzing noises, his head was so heavy, and everything seemed to be shaking. Bai Qi has been like this for a while, when he first went out to fight in Chu, his health was not very good, and in the process of fighting, it often troubled him, but Bai Qi did not succumb to illness, he did not tell anyone about his pain, only the military doctor who treated him knew his condition.

Bai Qi was not allowed to disclose his situation with the military doctor, and he also refused the proposal given to him by the military doctor, and until now, Meng Wu only knew that Wu Anjun was coughing badly, but he didn't know how bad Wu Anjun's condition had deteriorated. Under such pain, Bai Qi can only temporarily forget the pain by thinking about the problem, Bai Qi thinks about the most, of course, it is war, he often reads the "Book of Horse Clothes", thinking about various ways of fighting in his mind.

And in the palace, King Qin was still thinking about how to reward Bai Qi, which really made King Qin feel a headache, but fortunately, Bai Qi implemented a strategy to attack the heart, but let go of a lot of prisoners, but even so, he broke through more than 40 cities, killed more than 160,000 enemies on the battlefield, and captured even more. King Qin sat on the top seat, rubbing his forehead, Wu Anjun made him love and hate.

Wu Anjun is under his command, so he doesn't have to worry about the war, because Wu Anjun will never let him down, but Wu Anjun is in the Qin State, but he has seriously damaged the military merit system, and he can't be sealed, and he doesn't even know how to reward him and give him land? To his retainers? Wealth? King Qin looked helplessly at Ying Hou in front of him, obviously, Ying Hou was also worried about this matter.

"First reward the soldiers who go on the expedition, appease the hearts of the soldiers, and then calculate the reward for Wu Anjun...", Fan Ju couldn't come up with any good ideas for a while, so he could only choose to reward the rest of the soldiers first, let them share a share of military merits, and finally reward the commander. Fan Ju suddenly said: "Recently, there has been a situation where domestic officials have collected the forged "Book of Horse Clothing" from various countries, and they have wasted their time on those useless miscellaneous texts, which will make the people follow their example, and it will affect the cultivation and warfare. ”

"Please order that those forged "Mafu Books" are not allowed to circulate in the Qin Kingdom, and no one is allowed to read them, and I will formulate relevant laws and regulations to punish those who possess them, read them, and imitate them."

King Qin nodded, under the current farming and warfare system of the Qin State, everything has strict arrangements, the farmer cultivates, the cultivation is completed, the drill is completed, the craftsman goes to learn the art, and after the completion of the study, he makes tools, and those who want to be officials go to the school, and come out to be an official after learning, if a farmer suddenly goes to build machinery and invent, then he is guilty, because he does not do his duty, even if the invention he makes is beneficial to the country, he will definitely be punished.

Because the Qin State wants to put an end to such a situation, it can't encourage such behavior, everyone has to do their jobs, and they can't do things that don't conform to their profession, therefore, there are basically no entertainment activities in the Qin State, and the people gather to play, which is impossible, and they will be taken away and sentenced directly, what poetry, what music, what entertainment, are all useless, the Qin State only needs craftsmen who make weapons, officials who need to popularize the law, farmers who need to farm, and soldiers who can go to the battlefield.

Of course, there were merchants in the Qin State itself, but these merchants were suppressed in the Qin State, not only to collect high taxes, but also to be the first to be sent to the battlefield in wartime. Only those nobles of the Qin State can secretly carry out some entertainment activities, and they can't do it openly, otherwise they will be held accountable. Today's King of Qin, he is a person who can lead by example, after he succeeded to the throne, he did not hold any banquets, nor did he engage in any entertainment activities, either reading books or dealing with state affairs.

After negotiating these things, King Qin suddenly sighed again: "What has Wu Chengjun been busy with lately? Fan Ju laughed and said, "I heard that he found a Korean craftsman and wanted to build a canal to solve the disaster on both sides of the river. In addition, there are many scholars of many schools who go to Ma Fujun to debate, including Gongsun Long, Zou Yan and others. ”

"Hmm... Let the warriors in Zhao State seriously protect Wu Chengjun and not let others hurt Wu Chengjun. ”

"Yui."

King Qin and Fan Ju have not yet come up with a plan on how to reward Bai Qi, and Bai Qi's army has already returned to Xianyang, and those who have been rewarded and promoted to the title have happily returned to their hometowns and continued to farm, while Bai Qi has just returned to Xianyang and has not gone to see the King of Qin, so he fell ill and was in his courtyard all day, closed doors. Someone told the King of Qin that Bai Qi was dissatisfied because he had not received a reward, so he pretended to be sick and did not come to see you.

This made King Qin very angry, so he summoned Wu Anjun into the palace.

King Qin sat on the top seat, Fan Ju sat beside him, the two looked at Bai Qi on the side, Bai Qi sat opposite Fan Ju, sitting there straight, his brows were furrowed, his face was solemn, he didn't look like he was sick on the couch at all, King Qin squinted his eyes and asked: "I heard that you are infected with a disease, is this true?" ”

Bai nodded his head and said seriously: "That's true." ”

King Qin didn't speak again, he looked at Fan Ju, and Fan Ju asked again, "What kind of illness do you have?" ”

"I don't know, I just feel uncomfortable."

"Okay, then please recuperate at home and recuperate in peace."

After sending Bai Qi away, King Qin said to Fan Ju: "The widow saw that Wu Anjun's food was like before, this doesn't look like he was sick." Fan Ju replied: "You can ask the imperial doctor to order him to heal." ”

.............

At this moment, Zheng Guo finally came up with his final plan, he reduced the number of channels he had originally decided to excavate, and decided to take out a few to excavate, and then gradually increased, Zhao Kuo also felt that this method was good, so he took him to find Lian Po. Lian Po discussed with Zheng Guo about the raw materials and manpower needed, but Zhao Kuo really didn't expect that General Lian Po really had the ability to administer.

Seeing him tell Zheng Guo about the youth and strength that he had in various places, he could launch their seasons, and even arrange these things for them, Zhao Kuo felt that it was not Lian Po who was sitting in front of him, but Yu Qing. The two talked for a few days, Zhao Kuo did not participate, he did not know the situation in various places, and he did not know how to build, and when their negotiations were completed, Lian Po took them to meet King Zhao.

King Zhao was not against this matter, what he was worried about before was that Zhao Guo did not have the strength to complete it, and now he heard Lian Po say that he could excavate, so King Zhao naturally did not say much, and directly handed over this matter to Lian Po to handle, and at this time, Zhao Kuo just thought of a way to work for disaster relief, because of the flood, there were a lot of victims in Zhao State, and this matter can be done.

Zhao Kuo told Lian Po his idea, Lian Po immediately called the victims from all over the country to return to their hometowns, called on them to dig canals, flood control, under the arrangement of the chief engineer Zheng Guo, the nearby people under the leadership of the officials, have gone to the area divided to themselves, began to excavate, Zheng Guo gave up most of his canals, only left six, dig these six first, and the rest can be excavated in the future.

Zhao Guo finally realized the benefits of improving the grassroots system, and the low-level official system after the change of law played a great role in mobilizing the people, these officials brought the local youth, the division of labor was clear, the top and bottom were orderly, and it was easy to command, Lian Po was responsible for the transfer of these people, as well as the subsidy for those disaster victims, and Lian Po should have been responsible for state affairs, but it fell on Wei Wuji.

Wei Wuji didn't have time to drink anymore, and at this time, he seemed to realize how busy he had been with the matter he had handed over to Yu Qing, and Wei Wuji hurriedly found Pang Gong to discuss the change in the palace official system that Zhao Kuo had mentioned at the beginning. Because of that rebellion, Wei Wuji had no way to directly intervene in the law, but he could let Pang Gong and others continue to handle it, after all, Pang Gong was a minister who had always been close to King Zhao.

Zhao Kuo is also very busy, he is helping Zheng Guo dig the canal, he often takes the tools to dig in person, and eats with these people who serve in servitude, chats with them, Zhao Kuo's motivation is also shown, as long as he is there, the officials do not have to urge the people, no one will be lazy, no one complains, under the leadership of Zhao Kuo, everyone is working hard, along the original Ximen Leopard dug up those channels, and several new channels appeared.

Zheng Guo has targeted the areas most prone to disasters, opening small channels here to reduce the damage caused by the surge in water.

And Zhao Kuo works with these people every day, and occasionally brings meat to treat them, which makes the people think of a person, Yu. In their opinion, maybe Dayu in ancient times was like this. Zhao Kuo was busy near the people for more than a month, and only then did he take advantage of the rotation of the people to return to Mafu once. He has been away from Mafu for a while, and during this time, Yi Zeng has brought Zhao Zheng many times.

Zhao Zheng was still clamoring to help his father and stay here to work, but was driven away by Zhao Kuo unhappily.

The mother and son sat on the shore, watching Zhao Kuo carrying the hoe, the hoe fell hard on the ground, digging up some mud, throwing it aside, and continuing to dig, soon he was able to dig a deep ravine, and immediately the people came carrying the stones, Zhao Kuo helped to break them, and then spread the stones in the dug ravines, Zhao Kuo was naked, dripping with sweat, the muscles bulging high, the crisscrossing wounds on the body, always people can feel shocked.

Tired, Zhao Kuo sat on the side of the ravine to rest, Yi came up to hand him water, Zhao Zheng jumped off the ravine, learned from his father's appearance, picked up the hoe, but couldn't swing it, could only drag the hoe and ran around, the surrounding people looked at this scene with a smile, and when they saw Zhao Zheng running over, they would pinch his face and tease him. Yi sat on the side, looking at Zhao Kuo's panting appearance, he was really a little distressed.

But she couldn't dissuade her, so she could only whisper: "You have to eat on time... Don't always be like this, get dressed, if it's dirty I can wash it, I'm afraid you'll get sick..."

Zhao Kuo laughed and said, "I know!" Then he asked about his mother's situation and the situation in the school, and Yi began to speak, "Mother is very good, she just misses you very much, she wants to come to visit, I didn't let her come, I was afraid that she would be worried when she saw your appearance, so I told her that you were sitting in the tent with Zheng Guo to determine the direction of the canal..."

"Han Fei is lecturing for the rest of the disciples, the new Mr. Zou Yan is always pestering him, he also stays in Mafu, and occasionally goes to the school room to discuss knowledge with the disciples, he doesn't believe that the earth is round, and he doesn't believe in the map you draw..."

"What about you, do you believe it?"

"I believe everything you say."

Zhao Kuo smiled happily, stretched out his hand, held her hand, and then drank water quietly, looked ahead, Zhao Zheng was playing in the distance, the people were talking and laughing digging the channel, some were carrying stones, and the officials were also helping them.

"Will you stay today?"

"Zheng'er..."

"Just let him go to bed early."
