Chapter 69: Dujiangyan
ββ
The sky and the earth are vast, the drizzle is falling, and the Xianyang City in the early morning is as cold as autumn and winter.
Wei Ran, who went to defend the country, returned to Xianyang, at this time Yingji was alone in the palace, holding the national letter brought back by Wei Ran and trembling, staring at this shameful national letter and saying to himself: "Since the first king Huiwen and Wuwang, I have been unstoppable in the east of Qin, expanding the territory, and taking the west of the Wei State in the east, and the Shu land in the south and Hanzhong, which can be called a great prestige and is thriving. Such a good situation was completely destroyed in my dynasty, what kind of face does Yingji have to face the ancestors and ancestors of the Qin State......"
At this time, since Wu Qi, the Qin State was once again locked in the pass, and it was only by relying on a shameful letter of state that it was able to save the turtle and shrink in the pass.
Yingji felt the fatigue and weakness of the Qin State, so he cut the land and sought peace to protect himself, Yin Yin Temple had no long-term strategy, the soldiers of the three armies had no victory, the courtiers had no spirit of progress, the common people had no cohesion, and the strong Qin was gradually dissolved!
If you don't work hard to cheer up, the Qin State is not far from the period of the fall of the country!
"Wow-"
These terrifying words that came to mind made Yingji subconsciously scream.
"Nope! The widow will never be the king of the country...... The widow wants to strengthen the country! To be ashamed, never be the king of the country, since Yingji created this evil result, Yingji must shoulder the responsibility of Zhongxing......" At this time, Yingji panicked, and his mind was crazy thinking about how to strengthen the country and how to take revenge.
As soon as the old chamberlain entered, he saw that King Qin was crazy, and his heart was panicked, so he cautiously reported: "King Qi, Li Bing, the Taishou of Shu County, asks to see you!" β
The sound finally brought King Qin Zhao back to his senses, and after a while, he recovered as before, returned to the main seat and said, "Xuan-"
I suddenly wondered why Li Bing didn't work in the local government, why did he suddenly come to Xianyang? At that time, Li Bing entered the palace and bowed to the king: "Minister Li Bing pays a visit to my kingββ! β
"Qing entered Xianyang, but Shu County has changed?" Yingji hurriedly asked, her heart suddenly became solemn, should there be an accident in Shu County? That was definitely a worse thing for the Qin State, and King Qin's face was suddenly embarrassed.
"Back to the king, Shu County has not changed." Li Bing hurriedly said, which made King Qin's complexion improve, and he stabilized his mind and said, "What is the important matter for Qing to come here?" β
"Back to my king, Weichen went to the post of Shu County Taishou for more than a few years, as soon as he entered Shu, he immediately began to survey the people's feelings, the king, the land of Shu is vast for thousands of miles, the Chengdu Plain is vast and boundless, the land is fertile, but it is sparsely populated, and the cultivated fertile land is even rarer, which should not be. Jingchen found out that it was the Minjiang River that runs through Chengdu all the year round, and the floods in the four borders of the Minjiang River often arise, and I heard the local old people say that the Minjiang River floods every year, not only the crops are not harvested, but even the whole village will be submerged, and the Minjiang River flood is not cured, I am afraid that the local people will move out, and it will turn into a barren land at that time. β
Li Bing continued: "Your Majesty, the people of Shu who are afraid of the ministers have no land to cultivate, no roots and no evidence, and over time they will become chaotic people, which is a hidden danger in the country." β
Qin Guo couldn't withstand the civil strife, Yingji didn't dare to despise Li Bing's report, and hurriedly asked: "Since General Sima Cuo pacified Bashu, Qing followed up and went to Bashu to take up his post, you know the land of Bashu best, does Qing have a good strategy?" β
Li Bing said: "Your majesty, your subordinates are stupid and have no long-term strategy for governing the world, but Weichen firmly believes that as long as my king thinks about the people in his heart and benefits them, the people of Bashu will try their best to support my king and thank my king for his kindness." β
"It's like I didn't say it!" Yingji said unhappily.
"Your Majesty, the ministers think that they are governing Bashu and controlling the floods in Shu." Li Bing took out a huge drawing from his arms as he spoke, and said, "This is the Shudi flood map drawn by Weichen in recent years. β
The strength of the Qin State is accumulated little by little, and King Qin Zhao also attaches great importance to agricultural production and water conservancy projects, and he can't help but be overjoyed when he hears this, and said with a smile: "Isn't this a plan?" β
After a while, Li Bing put the drawings on the desk and spread them out, and said: "Your Majesty, the minister has conducted a comprehensive survey of the Minjiang River, and has gone deep into the mountains and dense forests several times to chase the source of the Minjiang River. Chen traveled a long distance, drifted along the river, and reached the confluence of the Min River and the Yangtze River, and finally had an eyebrow. β
Li Bingyao pointed to the map and motioned to the King of Qin to look: "My king looks, the mountains and valleys on both sides of the river are high and deep, the water sources are abundant, and the water flow is turbulent, and when you arrive at Guan County, the terrain becomes flat. Especially in the southwest of Guan County, there is a Yulei Mountain here to obstruct the eastward flow of the river, every summer and autumn flood is rapid, the big water has nowhere to discharge, it becomes a state of drought in the east and waterlogging in the west, which is the root cause of the flood disaster in Chengdu. β
"If you can go to its floods, the remote land of Bashu will be set into fertile land, if there is this Bashu land, why not the defeat of Hangu Pass, right...... Aiqing must have a good way to control the water, but let's talk about it. King Qin hurriedly asked, Li Bing really found the right time, and the current Yingji was bent on saving the decline of the Qin State.
Li Bing couldn't help but feel relieved when he saw that King Qin attached so much importance to it, and immediately said: "The minister thinks that if you want to eliminate the flooding in Shudi, you must build channels in the Chengdu area, one can drain the flood, and the other can irrigate the fields. If you want water to be poured into the canal, you must burn the mountain stone and chisel this Yulei Mountain, so that the water of the Min River can flow eastward. β
As he spoke, he pointed to the Yulei Mountain marked on the drawings, and continued: "Your Majesty, the minister's plan is to start with this Yulei Mountain first, and lead the local people and workers to dig a seven-zhang wide opening in Yulei Mountain. β
A picture suddenly appeared in Yingji's mind, and he smiled: "If you can really chisel a hole here, it looks like a bottle mouth, why don't you call it 'treasure bottle mouth'?" β
Li Bing nodded, naturally had no objections, and said: "After digging out the 'treasure bottle mouth', I will build a water dividing weir in the center of the river, divide the river water into two branches, and force one of them to flow into the treasure bottle mouth." The front section of this weir resembles a fish head and can face the upper reaches of the Minjiang River, so it can make the water of the surging Minjiang River divided into two, the west outer river is the main flow of the Min River, and the east inner river is the main trunk canal of the irrigation canal system, and the canal is the mouth of this treasure bottle. β
In addition, if you want to further control the amount of water flowing into the mouth of the bottle, you can build a flat tank and its flying sand weir at the end of the diversion weir to overflow, so that when the water level of the Neijiang River is too high, it can effectively wash away the sediment deposited in front and behind the mouth of the treasure bottle...... Your Majesty, after the completion of Chengdu Jiangyan, it will be able to eliminate the floods in the land of Bashu, and the people will be able to live and work in peace and contentment. β
Yingji didn't expect Li Bing to plan in such detail, after the humiliating lesson of this fiasco, King Qin no longer wanted to compete with the Shandong heroes for hegemony, or didn't dare to think so for the time being, he just wanted to make every effort to strengthen the Qin State, and revitalize the Qin State, and immediately made a decision: "Okay, the widow is approved, the matter of building Dujiangyan is handled by the Qing with full authority, and the widow will help each other, and the widow will be allowed to do it in the later stage." β
Li Bing bowed happily: "My king is wise, and the ministers thank my king for his kindness on behalf of the people of Bashu, and he will definitely live up to my king's high expectations!" β
