"Mr. Dacai, he has cultivated Zheng Guoqu, this student of yours Shi Lu is so highly regarded by you, it must be extraordinary." Fan Sui had already read a different charm from Zheng Guo's words.

Zheng Guo is a peerless plumber, he can't do anything, but his student Shi Lu has a way, but you can think about how good this Shi Lu is.

Everyone was amazed, and their eyes were blazing, focusing on Shi Lu.

Although Shi Lu is young, he is only in his twenties, but he is calm and calm, and there is no difference in the slightest. You know, all the people here are extraordinary people, as long as they stomp their feet, they will lose their color, if they change people, they will either be excited, or frightened, Shi Lu is calm and abnormal, it is really extraordinary.

"Good!" Fan Sui and they praised in unison.

"Shi Lu, you say." Of course, Qin Yiren knew that the design and builder of this spiritual canal were extraordinary, otherwise, they would not have built a spiritual canal.

"No." Shi Lu responded and began to speak.

"Shi Lu and the teacher were ordered by His Majesty to investigate the connection between Xiangshui and Lishui, and after on-the-spot investigation, they have some ideas, if it is not appropriate, please ask Your Majesty to admonish." Shi Lu is neither humble nor arrogant, first came to an opening sentence, and then cut to the point, saying: "Xiangshui is high and Lishui is low, if you want to connect the two waters, it is not easy." However, it is not impossible. In Shi Lu's opinion, it can be surrounded by mountains to slow down the flow of water, and it can be navigated. ”

Historically, the Qin State built three famous water conservancy projects, Dujiangyan, Zhengguo Canal and Ling Canal. Among the three major water conservancy projects, the most famous is Zheng Guoqu, because this incident caused the "eviction" turmoil, and Qin Shi Huang almost made the most serious mistake. This is also a good subject for later generations to talk about. It is famous for being rendered.

However. In all fairness. Among the three major water conservancy projects, the most technical content should be the Ling Canal.

The design idea of the Ling Canal itself is a strange idea, like the construction of a mountain road, building a canal on the mountain, surrounding, slowing down the speed of water flow, you can achieve the purpose of navigation.

"Good!" Everyone is calling for goodness, and that's a good idea. It makes people feel like they are empowered.

"Sir's idea is good, but there is a dilemma in navigating. First, Xiangshui has less than ten miles of ups and downs, which is not convenient for navigation. Second, when there is no water available in the dry season, it is difficult to navigate. Wang Jian raised his eyebrows and asked two questions.

Qin Yiren's eyes fell on Wang Qian, and he was greatly surprised, this Wang Qian's insight is really amazing, and he also knows it.

Xiangshui is hundreds of meters higher than Lishui. Even if it is repaired, it cannot be navigated. In order to solve this problem, the canal had to be built like a winding mountain road.

However, the four-kilometer-long drop in Xiangshui is too large to be navigable, and Wang Qian's first problem is to address this point.

"It's not that hard to do."

Shi Lu was full of confidence and said: "Xiangshui, which is less than ten miles away, cannot be navigated, but it can change the course of the river, and it only needs to be repaired in this way." ”

As he spoke, Shi Lu drew an "S" shape.

The four kilometers of Xiangshui itself, which are inconvenient for navigation, were solved by Shi Lu in this way, which is a great idea.

"Wonderful!" Wang Jian patted his forehead with his right hand and praised loudly.

"What a whimsical idea." Fan Sui looked at them with admiration.

"As for the inconvenience of navigation during the dry season, you can build a dam to store water, and release water to adjust the water surface during the dry season." Shi Lu continued.

To build a dam, you have to use a lock, which is the world's first and the earliest lock in the world, which can play a good role in regulating the water level and make the Ling Canal navigable all year round.

"Wonderful! Wonderful! An exclamation sounded, from the mouths of everyone, all of them with admiration.

Even Qin Yiren couldn't help but admire, although Qin Yiren had long known that Lingqu was Shi Lu's masterpiece, however, when he heard Shi Lu say his idea with his own ears, he was still amazed.

Our ancestors had great wisdom and created many outstanding projects, and the Lingqu is just one of them.

"If you want to build a canal, you must first send an army into Lingnan and capture Lishui." Wang Qian's eyes shone brightly.

"It's up to the general to decide." Qin Yiren was very capable of delegating power and handed over this matter to Wang Qian.

Wang Jian is right, if you want to repair the spiritual canal, you must first capture the current Guilin, and then repair it, so as to have a safety guarantee.

"No." Wang Jian happily accepted the order.

The Ling Canal connects the Hunan River and the Lishui River, in fact, it connects the Yangtze River and the Pearl River together, because the Xiangshui River leads to the Yangtze River, and the Lishui River leads to the Pearl River, and the two major water systems are navigable because of a Ling Canal, which can greatly promote the traffic between the Central Plains and South China, and can promote the economic development of South China.

"As long as this canal is completed, logistical baggage will no longer be a problem, and it is inevitable to pacify Lingnan. Li Mu, what are your plans for defeating the Huns? Qin Yiren rushed at Li Mudao.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that if he wants to completely solve the problem of the Huns, he must send troops in two ways, all the way to the royal court, and all the way to the Xiongnu ancestral shrine Wolf Juxu Mountain." Li Mu knew the Xiongnu very well, and talked eloquently, saying: "In the current situation, Daqin can only send troops all the way, that is, starting from Shuofang City built in the land of Hetao, which is difficult to deal a fatal blow to the Xiongnu. The minister's meaning, if you want to open up another way to send troops, you have to march to Liaodong, sweep away the remnants of the Yan State, and take advantage of the situation to defeat Donghu. In this way, troops can be sent in two ways. ”

Mobei is very big, if you send troops all the way, it is not a problem to defeat the Xiongnu, it is difficult to completely solve the problem of the Xiongnu, yes, it is inevitable to send troops on both roads.

Historically, the "Mobei Decisive Battle" initiated by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was to divide the Han army into two, with Wei Qing and Huo Qubing each leading an army, crossing the desert and smashing the Xiongnu's lair, which made the Xiongnu collapse and finally perished. If the Han Dynasty sent troops all the way, victory would not be a problem, but it could not destroy the Xiongnu.

Li Mu's words hit the nail on the head, and Qin Yiren greatly appreciated it and said, "What Li Mu said is extremely reasonable. Send troops to Liaodong, and it is urgent to break through Donghu, Li Mu, you should choose the opportunity to send troops. ”

"No." Li Mu happily accepted the order.

Although Donghu was about to disturb the border from time to time, it did not pose much threat to Huaxia. However, if Donghu is not broken, it will be difficult to solve the Xiongnu, because Donghu will threaten the supply lines of the Qin army, and it will have to be broken first.

After discussing some more details, Wang Jian and Li Mu took their leave, left Xianyang, and went to prepare for the pacification of Baiyue and the dispatch of troops to Liaodong.

Qin Yiren was involved in handling government affairs again, and he was very busy. Time passed quickly, and soon, Mrs. Qing came to report that the businessmen invited by Mrs. Qing had come to Xianyang.

Mrs. Qing is the largest businessman in the world, and has a high prestige among the businessmen, she came forward to invite, these businessmen had to come, and there were no less than thousands of businessmen of all sizes who came to Xianyang.

Accompanied by Mrs. Qing, Qin Yiren led Fan Sui, Li Si, Cai Ze, Wang Juan, and Fan Zeng, these ministers, to the court and took a look, good guys, many businessmen, all dressed in brocade, and full of luxury.

There are not many businessmen, but there is a lot of gold, and if they don't smell of copper, they can't do it.

Moreover, these businessmen looked at Qin Yiren, their faces were nervous, like pigs entering the slaughterhouse.

The merchant saluted Qin Yiren, and Qin Yiren waved his hand and asked them to be spared.

Then, Qin Yiren smiled and said, "I look at it like this, you are all very nervous, are you thinking, am I eyeing your money bags?" ”

These businessmen are still worried about this, if Qin Yiren is eyeing their money bags, they only need Qin Yiren's will to throw it down, and they still don't obediently give the money?

After listening to Qin Yiren's words, they became even more nervous, and some people's faces turned white, and their bodies trembled, thinking that they were finished.

"Rest assured, I won't do such a thing." Qin Yiren smiled and said, "I invited you here because I have a big deal to do with you." ”

"Your Majesty, are you joking? You are the Son of Heaven, how can you make a deal with us merchants? "No one spoke, and the Idon clan had to speak.

Now in charge of the Yidun clan is the son of the old Yidun, about forty years old, very shrewd.

"Yes, yes, Your Majesty is joking." Kill these merchants, they will not believe that Qin Yiren wants to do business with them, they must be lying to them.

Of course, Qin Yiren knew the thoughts of the merchants, and said with a smile: "What I said is true, you don't need to worry." As you all know, I have amended the law of conscription, and those who serve as conscripts are not allowed to exceed 100 miles from the place where their homes are located, and those who exceed them will be charged with money and food. In this way, it is convenient for the people of the country, but without the people, it is difficult to build roads and water conservancy, how to solve this matter? ”

The news of amending the law on forced labor has spread all over the world, and the people of the country applauded and approved of it. In the future, there is no need to go far away to serve in the conscription, only need to pay some money and food, and you can completely guard your home, who can not be happy?

However, as soon as this law came out, it reduced the number of people, and many projects could not be done. Qin Yiren's words can arouse people's interest very much, and these businessmen are no exception, all of them are looking at Qin Yiren with wide eyes.

"That's when I thought of you merchants." Qin Yiren straightened the way and said, "I will pay for the money and food, and you will summon people to do this together." Of course, you will get the money you want. ”

"Your Majesty, seriously?" The businessman is profitable, and if it is true, he was still frightened a moment ago, but when he heard that there were huge profits, he was looking forward to it.

"Absolutely." Qin Yiren nodded heavily, rushed at Cai Ze, and said, "Put it up." ”

Cai Ze responded and ordered a few miscellaneous servants to bring a huge map, which was a geographical map of the mountains and rivers of the Qin Dynasty, on which the entire Qin Dynasty was located, and the most obvious was the four red lines.

"These four red lines are the four straight roads, and this is the first batch of projects in Daqin. The first straight road starts from Xianyang and goes all the way to Jiuyuan; the second is also from Xianyang, straight to Linzi; The third straight road is from Linzi to Jiuyuan; The fourth straight road is from Jiuyuan to Changsha. Qin Yiren pointed to the map and explained to the merchants, and said: "With these four straight roads, you can run through the east, west, north and south, and you can circulate goods and foreign exchange. ”

The eyes of the businessmen were hot, and they were all excited.

These four straight roads are huge, if you can get your hands on them, you don't know how much you can profit, much more than buying cheaply and selling expensively, who can not be impressed? (To be continued......)
