Boxes of gold and white jade were carefully put away, and when the house slaughter was about to report how much gold there was, the servant Guan Ji waved his hand and let him go down - with the handwriting of Ling Yin Chun Shenjun, the gold sent was not 10,000 but 8,000, besides, more gold and less gold is just a position, and people will receive as much as they want.

The last time the battle between the princes was scoreless, and Wang Zijing just went to Lantai to study. Only the king's mind seems to have changed, he used to want to establish a prince, but now, he seems to want to establish a prince. Can this really change? Don't look at the feudal kings and doctors in the court, in fact, how many of them have real power and how many have fiefdoms? It's just a bunch of powerless and powerless. For more than 20 years, the real power of the Chu State is not the king but Ling Yin Chun Shenjun, and Chun Shenjun wants to establish a prince, who can stop it?

Guan Ji recalled the visit of the two groups of people during this time, especially when he thought that Zimo wanted to support Wang Zijing with just one mouth, and laughed dumbly again. Did those Feng Junqing doctors still live hundreds of years ago? With the sentence 'Chu Guosheji is the most important', he wants to stand on their side, rich and rich, poor and widowed, and everyone in the market understands the truth, why don't these people understand?

"Zi Yao, I heard that you are the prince of Lantai?" Hearing that his younger brother had returned home, Guan Ji Zhaozhi asked with a smile.

"Brother receives Yin Zhijin?" The lacquered wooden box containing Jin Shengyu was cleaned up, but Considerable Drag still heard about it.

"Exactly." Guan Ji bowed, "Chun Shenjun has been Ling Yin for twenty-five years, and the Chu State only knows that there is a Ling Yin but does not know that there is a king." At the beginning, I don't recommend the prince, and those who wait for the price to sell are also. Now the king has been transferred to the prince Jing, but the eldest son does not dare to stand. Wang Shou is in the Spring and Autumn Period, after the king, the Chunshen Jun will set up the prince to be fierce......"

"Wang Shoudang in the Spring and Autumn Period?" Guanyu's eyes widened, remembering that the gift of releasing vegetables was presided over by Ling Yin, and he hurriedly said, "Is the king sick?" ”

"Exactly." Guan Ji stroked his beard and said peacefully: "Not in spring, that is, in autumn." The king wants to set up a prince Jing, but it is too late. ”

"What if Prince Jing is a holy king?" After that conversation, Xiong Jing went to the library again in the next few days, and this time he was no longer talking about military geography or shipbuilding and navigation, but about the compilation of the Classic of Mountains and Seas. After getting acquainted, the idea of helping Prince Jing to be the king became stronger and stronger in Guanyu's heart. When he came back, he wanted to discuss the matter with his brother, but he didn't expect that his brother had already received a lot of money from Chun Shenjun.

"If he is born a holy king, he will be favored by God." It doesn't matter if you watch the seasons. "Does Zi Miao want to help Prince Jing become king?"

"That's exactly what I mean." Guanyu told him bluntly. "Prince Jing was born and knowledgeable, knowledgeable, and intelligent. The doctor of the West Land is the king, and he cannot rely on it, if he can help him become the king, he can get the position of Yin. ”

"False. If you are wise, how can you give authority to others? Guan Ji looked at his younger brother and laughed, thinking that he was smart but was mistaken by cleverness.

"Definitely. Prince Jing's ambition in this life is not in the court, nor in the world. Guan Ji's answer made Guan Ji laugh even more, and he had to say again: "Prince Jing said that the world is only a corner of the east of Central Continent, India is in the south of Central Continent, Persia is in the west of Central Continent, and there are five continents outside Central Continent, such as east, south, west, waste, and cold. The earth is not square but round, and if it goes east, it can be returned to the west in a few years. He is willing to ride the wind and waves, sail on the sea, watch the wonders of the mountains and seas, and live the great ...... of the world"

"The earth is not square but round?!" Guan Ji originally looked indifferent, but these words seemed to bite people, and he jumped up in pain.

"Exactly. Prince Jing ...... "Guan Yu was about to elaborate, but was interrupted by his brother, Guan Ji said: "The saying of the circle of the earth has existed in ancient times. How does Prince Jing know? ”

Seeing that his brother was so surprised, Guan Yu smiled: "I was born to know." ”

"Born to know?" Guan Ji sat down, he didn't take Zimo's words seriously. "If the land is round, what if the Eastern Emperor Taiyi?"

Guanji is Taibu, Guanlu is Bu Yin, the family has held the position of Bu Yin of Chu for hundreds of years, and the father of Guan Gong, who is known as the treasure of Chu State, is his ancestor. As Bu Yin, the power struggle of Chu generally does not intervene, and most of them push the boat along the river. Secular power is like this, but theocracy cannot be ignored, and anyone who dares to touch the divine power and blaspheme the gods will be dealt a fatal blow by the contemplators. The Eastern Emperor Taiyi is the supreme god, and the question that Guan Ji worries about is: if the earth is round, what will happen to the sun?

"The Eastern Emperor came out of the Tang Valley and lived in Yu Yuan. If the land is round, the East Emperor will return the Tang Valley, and if the land is square, how will the East Emperor return the Tang Valley? Guan Yu asked rhetorically, this question had been considered since he heard Xiong Jing say that the earth was round. After thinking about it, I felt that the earth must be round, otherwise the sun would come out of the east every day, and it would set in the west every day.

"Good." Guan Ji breathed a sigh of relief, the theory of the circle of the earth did not destroy the divine power, but made up for a loophole in the divine power.

"Help Prince Jing to be the eldest son, brother to Ling Yin, is it okay?" Guanyu continued to say his thoughts.

"No." Guan Ji objected without even thinking about it, "The power of Chu is in Ling Yin, and the power of Ling Yin is in the county Yin." The county Yin Fengjun has been inseparable for hundreds of years. Today, Dr. Feng Junqing is willing to make Prince Jing the eldest son, and the county Yin naturally wants to help the prince. ”

"If the great king establishes the prince Jing, what is it?" Guanyu still didn't give up, and asked the last sentence.

"There will be a murder of kings." Guan Ji's half-closed and half-opened eyes suddenly opened, and they were full of blood.

After reaching the top of the mountain, Xiong Jing was so tired that he could not get up on the ground. The personal guard Yu tried to help him to rest under the tree, but he stopped him. Blue sky and white clouds, green grass and yellow flowers, birdsong mountain streams, sunshine on the earth, he is so lazy lying in the spring arms, there is nothing more comfortable than this. It's a pity that this is where the tomb of the self-hanged Chu general Jingyang is, thinking that he is lying in front of someone's grave, Xiong Jing slowly struggled to stand up.

"Your Highness...... "I can't get used to hearing the foot and the foot, even if there is no 'Your Highness' in this era, Xiong Jing also asks the servants around him to call themselves His Highness. It's just that he has to have a temple.

“…… The tomb of this great general Jingyang also. Ge was old, and it was strange that he didn't breathe at all when he went up the mountain, and he pointed to the mausoleum not far away and said to Xiong Jing. The mausoleum is covered with green grass and yellow flowers, not one mausoleum, but two, one large and one small, side by side. There are also some smaller sealed soil in the back, which should be a burial pit. "The general's wife is also buried here." Ge added.

"I don't want to build a shipyard under the general's mausoleum, I hope the general will take care of it, and there will be a lot of wine and food for the New Year." The deceased is the greatest, Xiong Jing bowed to the mausoleum and read such a sentence. After reading it, he turned around and looked back at the bottom of the mountain, only to see the Huai water in the distance as white as a silver chain, surging over, after being blocked by the mountain, the river turned a sharp bend under the mountain, and went to the northeast. At the bend, the river is wide and the river is soothing, and the shipyard to be built by Xiongjing is selected here, which is not only close to the river, but also has a stream on the Purple Mountain, and hydraulic machinery can be used after the dam is built.

"Prince...... Your Highness, you can build an embankment here. "The craftsman who went up the mountain first had already surveyed the mountain stream, and although it was not clear why Xiong Jing wanted to build an embankment on the mountain, no one dared to disobey the prince's order.

"Do you want to make the autumn and winter seasons of living water continuous, how many feet of water is stored, and how high is the embankment?" Looking at the craftsman who worshipped the ground, Xiong Jing asked.

There was silence. The ancients controlled the water and built embankments, but it was just to promote the advantages and eliminate the disadvantages, irrigate the farmland, and use water to build and drive the waterwheel is unseen and unheard of. Even if there are water control masters such as Zheng Guo, it is also in Sikong Mansion, and it is impossible to live among the people, and the calculation of the water volume of the dam is not only to count the water, but also to calculate the water, and now there is no hydrological data on the mountain stream.

"Get up." Xiong Jing was very powerless in his heart - he didn't even have a helper. "Before building the embankment, record the amount of stream water in spring, summer, autumn and winter, especially the amount of water during flash floods in summer; At the same time, it is necessary to measure the size, length and width of the mountain stream, and also to understand the texture of the rocks. Less salt, you're in charge. ”

"Yui." Shaoyan is Ge's subordinate, and he will make simple calculations a little bit.

"We still need ......" Since the dam is to be built, Xiong Jing suddenly thought that he also needs cement so that the dam can be strong. And if you want to have cement, in addition to a large steel mill, you must also have limestone and coal. Limestone is very common, he saw it when he climbed up just now, it is blue and gray, and it is all at the foot of the mountain, but where is the coal?

His Royal Highness the Prince was suddenly stunned, and the people looked at him and didn't dare to make a sound, and it took a long time for him to come back to his senses. "Where's the map?"

"Here." The map was quickly delivered.

"Not true. I want a map of the state of Chu. "The map is just a sketch of the vicinity of the Purple Mountain, and that's not what Xiong Jing wants.

"Your Highness, you don't have a map of the Chu Kingdom." Ge explained, he also didn't understand why Xiong Jing wanted to see the map of the Chu State.

"Then let's go back and talk about it." Although it is the same land, it is very strange after more than 2,000 years, and it is impossible to figure out where it is. For example, Shouying, Xiong Jing didn't know that it was the city in the later generations, but only knew that it should be in Anhui. Of course, there are also some places with the same name in ancient and modern times, such as Huiji, Jinling, Dongting, and Gusu, but it is uncertain whether these cities completely coincide with later generations.

"First enclose the land according to the map, then cut down the wood, and then level the land; On the Huaishui side, a wharf needs to be built and a road needs to be opened; After the dock survey, it should be built under the red solid tree, and the long geometry and deep geometry are customized; The embankment will be built two years after the next two years. Taking advantage of the fact that everyone was there and standing on the top of the mountain to facilitate detailed explanations, Xiong Jing began to make the overall arrangement, which is why he worked tirelessly to go to the scene in person.

"The shipyard is based on the dock, and everything is built around the dock. The dock is small and then large, and there must be room for it. The longest is fifty feet out of thirty, and the one with the greatest width is six feet out of ten. In the future, another dock will be built, and the dock and the dock need to be separated by 15 zhang, side by side. Xiong Jing then introduced the specific requirements of each work. Logging and land preparation are based on ravines, and the ground must be high, the ditches must be deep, and the flood must be discharged; The water of the wharf should be deep, and the water depth can be used to moor large ships, and the trestle bridge is first made of wood, and then changed to stone......"

Every time Xiong Jing reads a sentence, everyone remembers it. After Xiong Jing finished speaking, they said in unison: "I am respectfully ordered." ”

"Ge is responsible for the purchase, storage and requisition of shipyard materials." Xiong Jing added: "Everything must be counted, and the number needs to be re-recorded in the account, and I will check the account once a month in the future." ”
