Chapter 52: Difficult Progress

In Guanzhong, on the construction site of Qinguo, there are constantly Ding Zhuang who came from all over the country, there are more and more people, and the scene of work is becoming more and more prosperous. The Qin people are already serving the public, and the catastrophe in Guanzhong, as long as the Qin people know what this means, which means that it will shake the national capital of the Qin State, so the Qin people are all working hard.

and then get the news that Qin Yiren personally went into battle, and the queen and princess also came to raise the fire and cook, which is immeasurable for the Qin people's motivation.

Qin Yiren saw it in his eyes and was happy in his heart, and he was full of praise for the simple and hard-working Qin people.

"In later generations, those who scolded the Qin people as tigers and wolves, and the cruel and unkind scholars, if they saw the situation in front of them, what would they think?" Qin Yiren couldn't help but sigh when he thought of the Qin Dynasty's infamy through the ages.

Soon, there was good news, that is, Li Bing came. Li Bing led a team of sailors from Shuzhong, in order to get to Guanzhong as soon as possible, they rarely rested, and when they arrived in Guanzhong, they had already lost a lot of weight, and Qin Yiren was very painful to see.

Li Bing is a peerless plumber, the treasure of the Qin State, if there is any problem, it will be a great loss.

Qin Yiren asked Li Bing about the situation in Bashu in detail, and Li Bing spoke in detail one by one, and Qin Yiren was very happy when he heard Qin Yiren's eyebrows and smiles. In the past, the land of Bashu was a dangerous mountain and bad water, but now it has become a rich land, and it will be the granary of the Qin State, and it can be expected that in the near future, when the war of annihilation is carried out, Bashu will have an extremely important position.

With the addition of the hydraulic engineer brought by Li Bing, the technical problem of repairing the canal was solved, and the canal was repaired under the guidance of the hydraulic engineer. It's going a lot better.

It didn't take long. Wang Juan rushed to Guanzhong. He led tens of thousands of Bashu Dingzhuang. This is great news for the Guanzhong Canal, which is in urgent need of manpower, which makes Qin Yiren very happy.

These Bashu children are particularly energetic, in their words, they Bashu has just repaired Chengdu Jiangyan, they are very good at repairing canals, and they must not be compared to others, they are all working hard.

Of course. The children of Bashu are particularly fond of boasting, boasting about the benefits of Dujiangyan, and saying that it is miraculous, which makes the Qin people in Guanzhong admire, and they say that they must not let Dujiangyan be beautiful in the front, and they must build this canal better than Dujiangyan, and let Guanzhong ensure the harvest of drought and flood.

Qin Yiren called Wang Juan aside and asked, "Wang Juan, I want you to assist Li Erlang in handling government affairs, how did you return to Guanzhong?" ”

"Your Majesty, you don't know. Li Erlang's water control may not be as good as his father's, if it comes to handling government affairs. But he is a good hand, and his father is far inferior to him. With him, Bashu will be fine, there is no need for the minister to stay in Bashu, and now he has to overhaul the canal, isn't it urgent to need manpower? The minister rushed back. With a smile on his face, Wang Juan explained to Qin Yiren.

Wang Juan is not as good as Li Si in innovation, but he is shrewd and capable, especially with a stable personality, if Li Erlang's political talent is not good, he will never speak like this.

Qin Yiren was overjoyed and said with a smile: "In that case, you can help Li Si." ”

At present, if you want to control the canal, you not only need Ding Zhuang, but also need talents who can manage and command, Wang Juan's return is a great thing, and if he helps Li Si, this management will be better.

"Your Majesty, you don't have to look at Li Erlang's age, but his vision is really good." Wang Juan rushed to Qin Yidao.

"Oh, why?" Qin Yiren was a little surprised.

"Your Majesty, this is Li Erlang's recital, you can see it at a glance." Wang Juan took out a piece of parchment and presented it to Qin Yiren.

Qin Yiren took a look, his eyes widened suddenly, he slapped his forehead, and praised loudly: "It's good, it's good!" Well, the DPRK and China ignored this matter, but Li Erlang was the first to advocate it, not bad! Not bad! He did it! ”

Li Erlang said one thing in the recital, asking the Qin State to train water masters in the land of Bashu, so as to protect the transportation of Bashu grain and grass to the east in the future.

The land of Bashu is located in the upper reaches of the Chu State, and if you want to transport the grain and grass of Bashu from Shu for the use of the Qin army, then you need to transport it through the Yangtze River. At that time, the state of Chu had a powerful naval army, but as for the state of Qin, there was no naval army. If you don't start training the navy in advance now, when it's time to transport grain, you won't have a protective force, and you will likely be annihilated by the navy of Chu. If this is the case, even if Bashu has more grain and grass, it will be useless.

Li Erlang's vision is good, he can see clearly, and he can't do it if Qin Yiren doesn't appreciate it.

Qin Yiren immediately issued an edict and summoned Fan Sui, Bai Qi, Wang Qian, Meng Wu, Huang Shigong, Wei Yi, Li Si, Han Fei, Wang Xuan, Cai Ze, Li Bing and Zheng Guo together to discuss the division of this naval army.

The reason why Li Bing and Zheng Guo were also asked to participate was because they were peerless water workers, and as long as it was related to water, they had the right to speak.

More importantly, at that time, the Qin State was located in the west, belonged to the landlocked country, and was the hero of the land, and when it came to the naval army, it was not experienced at all, so it was necessary to listen to their opinions.

"This Li Erlang is not very old, this vision is really good." Fan Sui was greatly appreciative and smiled at Li Bing: "Congratulations to Master Li for having this beautiful child." ”

"Huh!" As a father, Li Bing had no reason not to like it, let out a burst of laughter, and his nose and eyes were crowded.

"There is no objection to the fact that the training of the trolls should be done in advance. The question is, who's going to do it? Qin Yiren's brows tightened, and his gaze swept over Bai Qi, Wang Qian, and Meng Wu.

Bai Qi and Wang Jian are known as the "gods of war" and are unborn military wizards, which means that they fought on land, not the naval army. When it comes to the navy, they don't know anything about it, and it's really not easy to find a general who can train the navy.

"This ......" Fan Sui frowned, but he was speechless.

They tried to come and go, but they couldn't find a suitable candidate. The generals of the navy must be proficient in water warfare, and among all the generals of the Qin State, none of them are satisfied. If you want to find generals who are proficient in land warfare, there are many in the Qin State.

"Your Majesty, this matter was proposed by Li Erlang, why not let him play a piece of training for the navy, if there is merit, you can order him to be a general. If there is no merit, it is better to recruit talents. Wang Juan thought about it and came up with an idea.

"Feasible!" Qin Yiren nodded heavily.

Although this matter was proposed by Li Erlang, he was too young after all, and he did not dare to entrust him with the affairs of the navy. If Li Erlang really understands the navy, this matter will be left to him. If it really doesn't work, recruit talents from all over the world, recruiting talents is the killer feature of the Qin State, and if you don't believe it, you can't recruit a suitable naval general.

immediately sent a decree to Li Erlang, and it didn't take long to receive Li Erlang's recital, Qin Yiren gathered a group of important ministers to discuss, and agreed that Li Erlang was born to be a general of the navy. In this way, the matter of training the navy in Bashu was handed over to Li Erlang.

This thing makes Li Bing so beautiful that she is bubbling, and she has such a son, what a regret is her husband!

After disposing of the matter of the water army, Qin Yiren continued to repair the canal, and half a month passed in a blink of an eye, and the progress was quite smooth.

However, trouble finally came.

"Oh no, no, dig into the rocks." Qin Yiren was digging the soil, and suddenly heard an exclamation, and hurriedly went over to take a look, only to see a stone exposed in the dug ditch.

Repair the canal, one is afraid of leakage, and the other is afraid of stones. If it leaks, the water will leak and will not be used for irrigation. If there are rocks, it is difficult to dig through. You must know that in the Warring States Period, science and technology were not developed, there were not enough tools, and it was difficult to do anything in the face of rocks, which is not good news.

"Dig and see how big this stone is." Qin Yiren raised his eyebrows and immediately ordered.

The Qin people dug up again, and this digging was unstoppable, and the Qin people kept shouting, because this stone was very large, and it was several miles long. Miles of stones lay across the place where the canal must pass, which was not good news, and it made the Qin people very frustrated.

"Your Majesty, you won't say that you want to change your route, right?" The Qin people were very worried.

If there is a stone at the joint point, if it is to be diverted, other places must also be changed, and this project will be big, so the Qin people are not worried.

"Don't worry. If it's just this stone, it's still difficult for the widow, and the widow has his own way to deal with it. Qin Yiren's brows furrowed, and he said, "Go and invite Zheng Guo and Li Bing, and ask them to see if there will be water leaks here." ”

Zheng Guo and Li Bing rushed over when they heard the news, took a look at the stones in the ditch, and couldn't help but be very excited, and said, "Great! That's great! ”

"Two, there are stones in the way, this is a bad thing, how can it be a good thing?" Qin Ren was very surprised and asked puzzled.

"You'll find out later." Zheng Guo rubbed his hands and smiled happily.

"Look, can it still be used here?" Zheng Guo and Li Bing have the final say in this matter.

"Hey, Your Majesty, why aren't you worried?" Li Bing looked at Qin Yirenyun's indifferent appearance in his eyes, and couldn't help but be surprised, and asked with some curiosity.

This is the joint point, if it is rerouted, the project will be much larger, which is a worrying thing, but Qin Yiren is light and light, which makes Li Bing and Zheng Guo have to be surprised.

"You are not worried, so why should the widows be worried." Qin Yiren smiled very easily.

"Your Majesty, do you know this method too?" Zheng Guo realized.

"I know a little bit about it." Qin Yiren bowed slightly.

"Your Majesty, you are really knowledgeable." Li Bing gave a thumbs up and was full of praise.

The boulder blocked the ditch, this matter could not be difficult for Qin Yiren, as a modern person has his own way to deal with it.

Li Bing and Zheng Guo looked at each other for a while, glanced at each other, nodded slightly, and said, "It won't leak, you can continue digging." ”

"Digging? This is a stone, how can it be dug up? Qin Ren looked puzzled.

Li Bing and Zheng Guo didn't speak, they looked at Qin Yiren, which meant to listen to Qin Yiren's opinion.

Qin Yiren said that they knew that method, but they really didn't believe it, because it was a unique job of a water engineer, and they were going to test Qin Yiren.

"Test me? I'm a modern person, and I'm pretty much the same as you. Qin Yiren laughed secretly in his heart.

"Come on, collect firewood, mobilize old vinegar, and prepare some sledgehammers." Qin Yiren ordered loudly.

"Your Majesty really knows!" Li Bing and Zheng Guo's right thumb almost pierced the sky, and they were amazed (friends can guess what method Qin Yiren would use). (To be continued......)
