In the east of Xinzheng City, a low courtyard with only a few thatched huts, this is the home of the famous water engineer Zheng Guo. These huts are low, damp, dim and uninhabitable.

Zheng Guo is not tall, medium height, about forty years old. Dressed in a patched robe, washed and white, but cleaned up very cleanly.

At a glance, you can see that Zheng Guo's background is not good, but no one dares to underestimate him, because he has a strong aura on his body, and his eyes are particularly bright, which makes people know at a glance that he is a capable person.

At this time, Zheng Guozheng said goodbye to his family: "Don't worry, I have arrived in the Qin State and will do my best to repair water conservancy for the Qin State." Once the water conservancy is completed, I will have a great achievement. You know, Qin's law is strict, and there has never been a meritorious unrewarded thing, at that time, I will be able to win an official position, and the situation will be better, I will come to pick you up, and we will serve Qin from now on. ”

"Hmm." Mrs. Zheng Guo nodded, very confident in Zheng Guo, and said: "Yifu Jun's talent, it is not a problem to build water conservancy. It's a pity, King Han doesn't need you, you have to go away to other countries. ”

"Good wife, do you know what I feel the most emotionally about right now?" Zheng Guo raised his head to the sky and sighed with emotion: "In the past, I didn't know the mood of Shangjun, Zhang Yi, and Fan Sui's generation to go away from the state, but today, I finally understand." If you don't want to, you have to do it! ”

Everyone in the world says that Qin is a tiger and wolf, cruel and unkind, but few people mention it: since Qin is a tiger and wolf, cruel and unkind, why are Shang Ying, Zhang Yi, and Fan Sui willing to enter Qin?

In the final analysis, Shang Ying, Zhang Yi, and Fan Sui were not willing to enter Qin, because Shandong would not use them. They can't reach out if they have ambitions. You can't use it. In order to find a place to use, he had to enter Qin. Although Qin was scolded as a tiger and wolf by the land of Shandong, and scolded as cruel and unkind, he was able to give talents a place to use and make good use of talents.

In the past, whenever Zheng Guo mentioned Shang Ying, Zhang Yi and Fan Sui, he always did not understand their feelings for entering Qin. Now, he's one of them. had to enter Qin, so I understood why Shang Ying, Zhang Yi, and Fan Sui entered Qin.

"Although Shandong scolded Qin as a tiger and wolf, however, Qin recognized merit and did not recognize people, no matter who it was, as long as he made meritorious contributions, he would be duly rewarded; If you can't make meritorious service, no matter who you are, even princes and grandchildren, you won't be able to do it. With the talent of the husband, he entered the Qin Bogong. Self-esteem is no problem. You can go with confidence, and the family affairs will be left to me. "Mrs. Zheng is also a strange woman. He has a good eye and can see the strengths of the Qin State.

"In the family, there is a good wife." Zheng Guo was very reluctant, but he had to part.

If they could, who would want to leave their homeland and leave another country?

Just as Zheng Guo was about to shed tears and part, he heard a rapid hoof sound, Zheng Guo turned his head to look, and saw a team of officers and soldiers riding horses.

"This is ......" Zheng Guoda was puzzled, these officers and soldiers came straight to his house, why is this?

"You're Zheng Guo?" When he came to the front, the leader of the officers and soldiers rode on his horse, condescendingly, and shouted at Zheng Guo.

At a glance, it was clear that Zheng Guo's status was low, he had no money and no power, and the officers and soldiers looked down on him very much, and their eyes crossed directly over Zheng Guo's head.

"I'm Zheng Guo, I don't know what the officers and soldiers are doing?" Zheng Guoping encountered white eyes countless times in his life, and he didn't care if he was ignored by the officers and soldiers, and asked carefully.

Although he is about to leave South Korea, he can't offend the officers and soldiers, and his family is still in Xinzheng.

"Come with me, your lord wants to see you." The leader of the officers and soldiers pulled the reins of his horse and rode away.

"Your Majesty?" Zheng Guo was amazed.

In order to repair water conservancy for South Korea, Zheng Guo asked to see King Han Huan Hui many times, but today it was King Han Huan Hui who took the initiative to see him, Zheng Guo felt as if he saw the sun coming out of the west, and he looked unbelievable.

"Did I hear me right?" Zheng Guo was shocked and asked his wife.

"It's like...... Seem...... Possible...... That's right. Mrs. Zheng Guo was also surprised, almost suspiciously dreaming.

"Are you deaf? It is the king who wants to see you. Seeing Zheng Guo standing still, the leader of the officers and soldiers shouted in a deep voice, like a thunderclap, he was very impatient, and with a wave of the horsewhip in his hand, he made a false sound that stirred the air.

If it weren't for Zheng Guo being the person named by King Han Huan Hui to see, the horsewhip of the leader of the officers and soldiers would not have been drawn in an empty place, but on Zheng Guo.

"Okay, okay, let's go." Zheng Guo should be in Qin at this time, and he didn't want to see King Han Huanhui, but he had to go in this situation.

Zheng Guo knew very well that he had asked to see King Han Huan Hui many times, but King Han Huan Hui didn't see him, so he didn't take him seriously. If you suddenly want to see him at this time, it must be no good thing.

"You, take him." The leader of the officers and soldiers thought that Zheng Guo was too slow, and pointed at one of the officers and soldiers.

"Come up." This officer and soldier is not angry, such a lowly cloth is no different from a piece of grass, and it is really unfortunate to ride with him.

The officer and soldier couldn't help but say, grabbed Zheng Guo's shirt, lifted it up, threw it heavily on the horse's back, patted the horse's back, and galloped away.

This fall was not light, Zheng Guo only felt that his buttocks hurt, but he didn't dare to say it, so he could only keep his unhappiness in his heart.

"Your Majesty summoned me at this time, what is the matter?" On horseback, Zheng Guo couldn't help but change his mind, but he couldn't figure it out.

Just thinking about it, I arrived at the Korean royal palace. Zheng Guo jumped off the horse, and a chamberlain came out and said, "You are Zheng Guo?" Get in. ”

As he spoke, the corners of his mouth were cracked, and his face was disdainful and contemptuous.

The people these servants see on weekdays are either rich or expensive, all of them are people with status and status, how can there be a poor ghost like Zheng Guo who is so poor that he has no pants to wear, it is strange to ask him to have a good face.

Zheng Guo came to the place where King Han Huan Hui was drinking and feasting, only to see the sheng song and swallow dance, a lively atmosphere, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "The Han is in danger, they are actually drinking and feasting, sheng song and swallow dance, a faction of singing and dancing to promote the atmosphere, it is really chilling!" ”

"Zheng Guo, do you know why the widow summoned you here?" King Han Huanhui saw Zheng Guo coming in and did not allow Zheng Guo to salute, so he opened his mouth to speak, and said: "You are always nagging in the ears of widows, you want to build water conservancy, and widows give you a chance......"

"Opportunity?" Zheng Guo was very disdainful in his heart, and secretly thought: "I have asked for opportunities many times, but you don't give it to me." Now I'm going to enter Qin. But you gave me a chance. Don't take such an opportunity. ”

“…… The king of Qin issued an edict to recruit water workers from all over the world, and the widow heard you say that those things about water control are also similar, so you can go to Qin. "King Han Huan's words are very hurtful.

Zheng Guo heard it in his ears, and his heart was cold, such a person is also worthy of being the king of a country, it is really eyeless.

"King Qin wants to build water conservancy in Guanzhong, and wants to make Guanzhong more rich. You told the King of Qin that you want the Qin State to overhaul and specialize, and the bigger the repair, the better. Of course, you can't let the Qin State be cultivated, you have to make the Qin State never be able to repair, where there is a leakage, you can repair it, where it is inconvenient to dig, you can repair it, that's all. Just three or twenty years of repair. At that time, Qin's national strength, manpower, material and financial resources were consumed on water conservancy. Korea is as stable as a rock. King Han Huanhui was smug and asked the ministers, "You say, how about the widow's plan?" ”

"Your Majesty!" The ministers praised in unison, and for a while, the sycophants flew away, almost lifting the roof of the palace.

This time, the ministers understood that King Han Huan Hui really wanted to make it bad, and it was likely to succeed, and they were all overjoyed, and even Prime Minister Han Kaidi was in favor of it, and praised it sincerely.

Seeing the shameless appearance of the monarchs and ministers, Zheng Guo was speechless for a while, and thought disdainfully in his heart: "You guys are taking this for granted." Who is King Qin? That's a shrewd man who has been looking at the world for decades, will he be fooled? Besides, there are countless capable people in the Qin State, and there is a capable person like Fan Sui who has a high level of wisdom and eternal, will he not be able to see through it? Qin's law is strict, not only in rewarding merit and punishing, but also in being able to put an end to all kinds of drawbacks, the water conservancy I mentioned, they will be strictly examined again and again, and your fantasy will not have the slightest possibility of success. ”

The Qin State was a waterman who lacked it, but he would not make such a low-level mistake. If Zheng Guo proposes a plan, it will inevitably go through a strict review, and it will be reviewed layer by layer, until it is confirmed that it is correct, and then it will break ground.

Although Han Huan Huiwang's idea was good, it was of no use in the Qin State, and it was impossible to succeed, it was just his wishful thinking.

Zheng Guo had no intention of waking up King Han Huanhui, he wanted to enter Qin, just using this as an excuse, he could enter Qin in a righteous and bright way, and there would be no worries.

"Your Excellency, please rest assured, the grass people will do their best for Han." Zheng Guo said busily.

"Good!" King Han Huan Hui nodded heavily, very happy, and said: "Zheng Guo, don't worry, as long as you do this, you will be the hero of Han, and you will be rewarded for your widows." ”

This is a blank check, whoever believes it is a pig, and Zheng Guocai will not believe it. Instead of believing in King Han Huanhui, who is untrustworthy, it is better to believe in Qin Fa. When you arrive in the Qin State, as long as you work hard, you can win an official position and make your family's life better.

"If you can't do it well, huh! Your family is still in Korea, do you understand? King Han Huan Hui snorted coldly, his eyes flashing with a fierce face, threatening.

"If you have a kind of threat, what is the use of threatening me, a powerless cloth?" Zheng Guo heard it in his ears, shocked in his heart, and was very depressed, and he was very angry.

The dignified king of a country actually threatened Zheng Guo, a lowly and poor cloth cloth, if he said this, he would definitely laugh off people's big teeth, and it would be a loss to King Han Huanhui to do it.

"The grass people don't dare." When it comes to the lives of his family, Zheng Guo does not dare to take it lightly.

"If you know, it's good." King Han Hui nodded slightly and said, "You don't have any gold when you go to the Qin Kingdom, right?" And the widow will give thee ten pieces of gold for your chariots. ”

With a wave of his hand, an attendant immediately brought ten gold.

Looking at the glittering gold, Zheng Guozhen wanted to spit on the face of King Han Huan Hui.

Han Huan Hui Wang was looking for fun, and he didn't know how much he took, so he gave ten gold to Zheng Guo, and he really regarded Zheng Guo as a man with no money.

Zheng Guo really wanted to smash King Han Huan Hui in the face, but he didn't dare not take it. If he doesn't accept it, it will be against King Han Huanhui's will, and he and his family will not end well.

"Thank you." Zheng Guo also had to pretend that his eyes were shining, he had not seen the excitement of gold, and took the gold with both hands, holding it tightly, like a peerless treasure.

"Haha!" Seeing Zheng Guo like this in his eyes, King Han Huan Hui was extremely comfortable, let out a burst of happy laughter, and waved his right hand, as if chasing flies: "You go." ”

Zheng Guo responded and hurriedly left, this place is too unlucky, Zheng Guo doesn't want to stay longer. Behind him, there was the laughter of the ministers, like thunder.

When Zheng Guo returned home and told him about the matter, his wife immediately said: "Husband, you entered Qin first and did your best to build water conservancy for Qin." When there is a chance, the intention of King Han will be made clear to King Qin. King Qin, a broad-minded person, will definitely not cure your sin. If you make a great contribution, King Qin will help us. (To be continued......)
