The moon is dark and the wind is high, and a black-canopy clipper leaves Xianyang and goes westward.

Li Si received Lü Buwei's fast horse secret letter, and immediately explained to Zheng Guo a few urgent tasks for the canal, and rushed back to Xianyang from the Jingshui construction site. When he arrived at the south gate, he was brought into the city gate for official questioning on the grounds that "he was suspicious and needed to be verified".

For this encounter, Li Si was angry and laughed, but he couldn't tell the difference.

The system was pioneered by the Shang monarch a hundred years ago, and once it was implemented in the Qin State, it immediately achieved great results in the investigation of rape and theft, and the six countries of Kwantung followed suit. Over the past hundred years, people have become the general system of the world by passing by their bodies.

The so-called "shining body" is a palm-sized solid bamboo board that depicts the head and name of the person and is branded with the seal of the government. If I am an official, I also have all kinds of special imprints on my body, indicating the country and the level of the official.

The Qin law has a decision: the common people are not divided into countries, as long as they are clear and recognizable, they will be allowed to leave as usual. Officials and envoys, except for diplomatic envoys, must be the country's own person.

Li Si came out of Xiaoshengxian Village and entered the Qin State, first as a guest of Lü Buwei, not an official, and there was no need to do another Qin State for a while. Later, he hurriedly made the river canal order, and immediately went to his post to be busy and had no distractions, but he forgot to handle the Qin State officials in time.

In addition, in recent months, he and Zheng Guo have been surveying and running around in the eight hundred miles of Qinchuan all day long, and the old photo in the leather bag on his waist has been squeezed and rubbed with many grooves, which is really not clear.

The identity of the person was not clear and unrecognizable, so he was detained by the guards, and his name was recorded pending verification. Speaking of which, it's still my own reason, and it's clear that it's illegal, but how to tell the difference.

said that he was the Qin State River Canal Order, and he was busy with major events and neglected to take care of himself? The official's failure to take care of himself is in itself a fault, and any distinction is becoming more and more black. Within the Qin Law, the strictness of law enforcement is even more among them, and there is already a pass, and at this time, it is troublesome to quibble.

"Please check your body!"

In the grotto of the city gate at the base of the mountain-like city wall, Li Si had to whisper helplessly and was willing to admit punishment. The city gate official didn't derelict his duties, if he was just an ordinary person, but the key point is that if this person really has an official status, they really can't afford to provoke him.

Despite this, Li Si himself was still in the dark corner of the city wall, huddled together in the cold wind, galloping all day exhausted, and before he could stand up for a moment, he snored loudly against the cold stone wall.

I don't know how many hours later, Li Si was shaken awake, and when he opened his eyes, there were suddenly more torches around him, and there were even more horses roaring and whispering, and there was a young general standing in front of him.

"But the canal?"

The general in black heavy armor, only about twenty, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, heroic spirit, holding a steel spear, and a wisp of wordless iron and blood all over his body, stood in front of Li Si, looking at the embarrassed person in front of him.

"Under ...... It's Li Si below, I don't know what the general means? ’

Such a big battle was close, and Li Si woke up from his slumber in an instant, and hurriedly jumped up, tidied up his clothes slightly, and bowed, since he entered the Qin State, it seems that he has not much to do with the military.

However, looking at the surrounding movements, it was almost a hundred-man cavalry, and for a while, Li Si was apprehensive.

"It's Your Excellency, that's right, in Xia Mengtian, come with us!"

When the young general heard this, he smiled brightly on his face, and bowed his hand to Li Si, and immediately, on the side of his body, the soldiers behind him lined up, and in the distance, a delicate carriage was parked there, and under the light of the fire in the dusk of winter, it made people very eager to enter it.

"......, yes!"

Although he was suspicious and vigilant in his heart, it was obvious that the current situation did not allow him to make his own decisions, and Meng Tian knew that he was one of the heroes who pacified the rebellion of Chang Yu, so he jumped into the Xianyang Order, and since then, the Meng clan has been glorious in Xianyang.

And he is just a small river canal, humble and light-hearted, facing the scene in front of him, even if he has the heart to do more, he is powerless to move, between breaths, step forward, and salute again.

Following the direction pointed by Meng Tian with one hand, he slowly entered this exquisite carriage, I don't know where General Meng Tian is going to take him, is it Xianyang Inner History Mansion? Or is it the House of the Long History? Or ......

The cavalry drove the team, in the curfew of Xianyang City, all the way unhindered, without any obstruction, the long car went straight in, and in a few days, it was from the south gate area straight into Dongcheng District, where the Xianyang Palace was located.

Through the curtain of the carriage, Li Si saw this, and his heart was full of thoughts, which was not where he wanted to go before. Is it to enter the Xianyang Palace to discuss things, but since he entered Qin, there is only one river canal.

For a while, Li Si was in a complicated mood, and this hamster rat was not so easy to do.

******

"Li Si has seen the king!"

stepped off the carriage in the martial arts arena of Xianyang Palace, and then went all the way to the depths of Xianyang Palace under the leadership of General Meng Tian and ran to Xingle Palace. Looking at Xingle Palace, Li Si was already convinced in his heart.

Looking up at the starry sky, where thousands of stars rise and fall, the light is bright and extinguished, it is midnight, and the Xingle Palace in front of it is still brightly lit, and there are rumors in Xianyang recently.

After a while, he tidied up his slightly ragged clothes again, and stepped into the Xingle Palace, and was greeted by a stream of slightly hot stove gas, which made Li Si's body slightly warmer. The entire Xingle Palace was extremely silent, except for the sound of Meng Tian's steps, there was nothing else, standing in front of the hall, bowing and bowing, not daring to look directly at the head.

"Near!"

"Wine!"

Sitting on the top of the Xingle Palace, wearing a close-fitting fur, holding the pen of improvement that Meng Tian dedicated to himself, constantly reviewing the decrees, since Wen Xinhou gradually ignored the government affairs, Qin Wangzheng began to feel that there were many government affairs.

Even so, but the whole body is full of energy, not to mention tired, let alone hard, just now I heard that Meng Tian replied that a river canal named Li Si was blocked outside Xianyang City, and he felt something, so he was summoned into Xianyang Palace.

Looking at his ragged clothes, looking at his dark skin, bowing his head slightly, he glanced at Zhao Gao on the side, and whispered, although he is not as talented as he is, but from his appearance, he should be a pragmatic person.

"Thank you, King!"

In the wide and bright Xingle Palace, Qin Wangzheng's voice was very clear from top to bottom, swirling in his ears, Li Si did not dare to refuse, close to the front ten steps, there was a palace maid holding a wooden plate on his side, and a cup of copper bottle stood on it, and the smell of mellow wine rippled.

Without hesitation, he took the copper cup from the wooden plate with both hands, drank it all, and the wine entered his throat, mixed with a trace of fierceness, and the fiery feeling suddenly flowed in the body, and the whole cold body warmed up after a while.

"How's the matter with the canal?"

Sure enough, as Li Si thought before, when he summoned himself to come, he must have asked about the canal, after all, for the Qin State, if the canal is completed, it will be no less than the great achievement of the Battle of Changping of Wu'an Jun.

"A few years ago, Zheng Guo entered Qin, with the help of Gangchengjun and Wen Xinhou, 280,000 people were requisitioned, gathering hundreds of miles above the Qin River, and now the foundation route has been locked."

"In two more years, you can build fortifications, another year, you can divert water, and in another year, the canal can be completed, at that time, hundreds of miles of salt-alkali flats in Guanzhong will be turned into thousands of miles of fertile soil, which can be another big granary outside Bashu!"

With the appearance of Zheng Guo, coupled with a large number of people's strength, the success of Qinchuan water control that has plagued Qin State for a hundred years is not a fantasy.

According to Zheng Guo's planning of the map, the water is led by the water, and the nine waters resonate, and the entire Qinchuan land will be in the degree of drought and flood moderation, compared with the Dujiangyan in Shu, the land of Guanzhong is more magnificent.

"Four years is too long, and how much people do you need to see the canal completed within two years!"

It has been four or five years since Zheng Guo entered Qin, and if there are four more years, it will be nearly ten years, ten years, which is good news for the Kwantung countries, but this is a bad wait for himself.

Put the pen in his hand on the shelf, his eyes narrowed slightly, and looked at Li Si in the hall, listening to his words, Zheng Guo is talented, can repair rivers and canals, and can remediate eight hundred miles of Qinchuan.

"In this ......, if the king wants to see the canal completed within two years, he must have more than 500,000 people, and the levy of people's power will increase the material resources required, and the rest of the fortifications in the Qin State will be delayed."

The next four years to be able to build the canal is already in a hurry in Li Si's opinion, but the king is still a little dissatisfied, Li Si's words are sluggish, and even if he speaks again.

If the king can meet his own conditions, it is not impossible to complete it within two years.

"Qin State's thousands of fortifications, can it be as heavy as Qinchuan's water control?"

"In the near future, there will be a decree issued to levy the people's power from the counties, and within two years, the widow must see the completion of the canal, and must see the grand occasion of Guanzhong's thousands of miles turning into fertile soil like Shu."

"Lees, can you do it?"

South Korea wants to implement the plan of exhausting Qin, wants to prolong the inheritance, and wants to plot great things, this is absolutely impossible, even if Zheng Guo wants to obstruct it, Qin Wangzheng looked at Li Si at the bottom, and his voice was very solemn.

"If you get more than 500,000 people and sufficient material resources, in two years, Li Si will give the king a canal that crisscrosses the land of Qinchuan!"

I feel that I am also clear about the current situation of the canal, the general framework is no longer a problem, if there is enough people's power available, it is not a problem to build the canal, and Li Si did not hesitate to do so.

"Hahaha, very good, if the canal is successful, the widow will not be stingy."

"Speaking of which, let Meng Tian invite you into the palace tonight, the matter of the river canal is a matter. The widow heard that you and Zheng Guo are from the same Xiaoshengxian Village, and you and Han Fei are from the same Confucian Xun Sect. ”

"Since entering the Qin Dynasty, it has been valued by Wen Xinhou, and it is allowed to compile and revise "Lü's Spring and Autumn", today, the widow wants to hear how you interpret "Lü's Spring and Autumn", and I want to hear how you judge the master's knowledge!"
