Chapter 35 Commencement of construction and repair of canals
Bashu, the Guankou town through which the Minjiang River flows, is crowded with people today, and there are many people who come.
These Shu people who came here were full of smiles on their faces, and everyone was overjoyed, as if it was a big New Year. No, even the Chinese New Year won't make them so happy.
Because today is the day to start the construction of the canal, it will not be possible if they are not happy.
Since the Shu people, they have been suffering from the poison of the Minjiang River for thousands of years. It has always been the long-cherished wish of the Bashu people to govern the Minjiang River, no longer suffer from floods, and live a good life.
It is a pity that this long-cherished wish has not been fulfilled for thousands of years.
In the past, Bashu was not the land of Qin, but the land of ethnic minorities in the land of Bashu, at that time, the Bashu people not only had to suffer from the poison of the Minjiang River, but also suffered from the exploitation of the local exiles, and their lives were very bitter.
Later, the Qin army entered Shu and annexed Bashu, and the land of Bashu has since become the land of Qin. The Bashu people thought that they could live a good life from now on, however, what was waiting for them was not the law of the Shang monarch, but the continuation of the old rule, and the life of the Bashu people was still sad.
What makes them sad the most is the days when Yingxuan ruled Shu. Yingxuan expropriated and extorted violently, exploited in every possible way, seized people's land and property, and bullied people's wives and daughters, and his brutality was even worse than that of the previous Bashu rulers. This made the Bashu people despair, thinking that they had no hope anymore.
At this moment, the new Taishou Li Bing came to Bashu. Li Bing was different from any previous official, and the first thing he did when he arrived in Bashu was not to control the water and repair the canal, but to clean up the unjust prison. Under his auspices, with the help of Wang Xuan, Yingxuan's accumulated shortcomings were quickly cleaned up, and those wronged Bashu people were released.
This made the Bashu people both unexpected and happy. Bashu turned out to be a good official. can restore their innocence.
However. This is just the beginning. This was followed by a series of reforms, and the implementation of the "Law of Shang Jun" in the land of Bashu. The law of Shang Jun is famous, and it has long been spread all over the world, and for the people of Shandong, it is a strict law, and it is a representative of cruelty and inhumanity.
However, for the Bashu people, the law of Shangjun is their hope. Because the law of Shang Jun is fair and just. There is no distinction between high and low, whether it is a prince or a countryman, it is the same law. As long as you make meritorious contributions, you can be rewarded together.
The law of Shang Jun allowed the Qin State to rule, Guanzhong was rich, and the Qin people in Guanzhong could live a good life of living and working in peace and contentment, and they could eat meat and drink wine. The Bashu people have known for a long time. They have long been looking forward to the implementation of the law of Shang Jun in Bashu. It's just that Bashu is too far away. The Qin State had too many concerns and was afraid that it would not be easy to implement, so it did not implement the law of the Shang monarch for a long time, but implemented the rule equivalent to the feudal rule.
The result of the implementation of the law of the Shang monarch is that there is no difference between the noble and the low, and the same law is one, that is, "everyone is equal", no one can have privileges, and the local heroes who oppress the Bashu people can only clamp their tails and be a man, and they no longer dare to be arrogant.
The Bashu people have never been so comfortable, they can stand up and be people.
Immediately afterwards, there was good news that the new Taishou Li Bing wanted to govern the Minjiang River. As soon as the news spread, the Bashu people were boiling, and they were all smiling.
For the Bashu people, who doesn't know the harm of the Minjiang River? Which one doesn't know? Li Bing's move hit their hearts, and they all wanted to work for them.
When it came to the day of breaking ground, the Bashu people ignored the distance of the road, and all those who could come rushed to come.
"Gotta get it!" There was a rush of hooves, and I saw a group of men and horses galloping towards me.
"It's Taishou! It's a benefactor! "Li Bing is very loved by the Bashu people because of his vigorous and resolute actions and proper measures, and when he sees Li Bing appear, he is as happy as seeing his ancestors.
"And Lord Wang! It's Lord Wang. Wang Juan helped Li Bing deal with government affairs, his talents were extraordinary, and he was very popular with the Bashu people, and he was overjoyed when he arrived.
There was no need for the accompanying Qin army to clean up, and the Bashu people spontaneously made way for Li Bing and Wang Xuan.
When they came to the ground, Li Bing and Wang Wanfei dismounted and came to a high platform. Moreover, the eyes of these Bashu people were hot, and they looked at Li Bing with blank eyes.
"The Bashu people are suffering like this!" Li Bing sighed.
"I hate Daqin for not implementing the law of the merchant monarch for a long time." Wang Juan was also very emotional.
"What a visionary grandson! If it weren't for the strong support of the prince, we would not have been able to implement the law of the Shang monarch. Li Bing and Wang Juan sighed at the same time.
The law of the Shang monarch allowed the Qin state to rule, however, the Qin state did not implement it much in those remote areas. At that time, the land of Bashu, because it was too remote, the Qin State only implemented a rough feudal rule, and did not govern it in depth. If it weren't for Qin Yiren's strong assertion, the law of Shang Jun would not be able to be implemented in the land of Bashu.
"Fathers and fellow villagers, I see in your eyes the fervent anticipation!" Li Bing's right hand was raised, and the eyes of the Bashu people were bright, and they no longer shouted, waiting for Li Bing's words. I only heard Li Bing say: "The Minjiang River has plagued the land of Bashu for thousands of years and cannot be governed, this is a pain in your heart!" It is the hatred of your hearts! The Minjiang River is raging, an ocean, flooding your home, taking the lives of your relatives, leaving you with no home, no food, no clothing, and you live a miserable life. ”
"Woo!" Li Bing's words are the voices of the Bashu people, all of whom shed tears.
"I, Li Bing, as a water worker, I feel honored to be the Taishou of Bashu." Li Bing saw the tears of the Bashu people in his eyes, and was very moved, and said: "Today, I want to do what a water worker should do, control water and repair canals!" I will work with you to manage the Minjiang River and return your homeland, so that you can live a good life in peace and contentment! ”
"Control the water and repair the canal!"
"Control the water and repair the canal!"
This is the voice of the Bashu people, all waving their arms and shouting loudly. The roar was like thunder, piercing through the sky.
Li Bing came down from the high platform, came to the construction site, held the tools tightly, and waved them fiercely.
Dujiangyan officially started!

Guanzhong, on the shore of Jingshui, is crowded with people.
I don't know how many people rushed to Guanzhong here, and everyone was more happy than the New Year, because today is a good day to start building the canal.
The Qin State re-cultivated the war, and wanted to be rewarded for meritorious service. Either go to the battlefield and kill the enemy. Either grow crops. Yes. The Qin State attached great importance to farming, and the Qin people were extremely concerned about farmland and water conservancy. When they got the news that they were going to start building the canal today, could they not come? Can you not rejoice?
"Have you heard? It is said that the canal to be built this time is different from the past, saying that it is to integrate drainage and irrigation, and to ensure the harvest of the land in Guanzhong during drought and flood. ”
"yes, I've heard that, too. Guanzhong has built a lot of water conservancy, and Guanzhong is rich and rich. But. However, we cannot ensure the harvest in drought and flood, and in a year of great drought and flood, we will also suffer disasters. ”
"If there is really a canal that can allow us to protect our harvest during drought and flood, it will be a great joy, and we Qin people will be blessed. From now on, the land of Guanzhong will be the richest place in the world. ”
"Good is good, but this financial, manpower and material resources consume a lot, and it is impossible to complete it without several years."
"It's not a big deal, you don't have to focus on the present, you have to look at the long term. At the moment, the consumption is a little bigger. However, once the canal is completed. Guanzhong is to ensure the harvest of drought and flood, and there is no need to worry about floods and droughts. In a few more years, the warehouse will be full, and you won't be able to finish eating. ”
"Well, that's the same thing. If I hadn't been worried that I would have to save food in a year of disaster, I would have raised more livestock and poultry, and then we would have more meat and a better life. ”
When the Qin people talked about repairing the canal, the more they talked about it, the more excited they became, and the more they talked about it, the more happy they became, and they wished that it would be completed immediately.
"Rumble!" At this moment, only to hear a thunderous hoof sound, the Qin people looked for prestige, only to see a team of Qin army soldiers guarding a long train line.
"That's the king's flag, it's the king's arrival."
"And the prince!"
"The prince is here, the prince is here."
"The Admiral is here! The Admiral is here! ”
"The prime minister is here, the prime minister is here!"
Qin Ren looked at the convoy coming from Gonggong, and they all shouted loudly, and their eyes were hot.
Needless to say, this convoy is, of course, King Qin Zhao, Prince Yingzhu, Prince Taisun Qin Yiren, General Bai Qi, Prime Minister Fan Sui, Guowei Sima Terrier, Keqing Le Yi, Xunzi, Gongsun Longzi, and Mrs. Xu...... All who can come are here.
The reason why they came so neatly was because they knew that the importance of this canal was related to whether the Qin State could unify the world.
King Qin Zhao and they got out of the car, and Zheng Guo, Li Si and Cai Ze hurriedly came to meet them.
"Good! Good! Good! King Qin Zhao held Zheng Guo's hand and patted it on the back of Zheng Guo's hand, with a kind smile on his face, looking at Zheng Guo and approving.
Feeling King Qin Zhao's heartfelt approval, Zheng Guo was so excited that tears rolled in his eyes.
He is a cloth cloth and water worker, and he is very unregarded in South Korea, and it is common for him to be looked down upon and treated coldly. However, after he came to the Qin State, everything changed, and the Qin State treated him with great courtesy, even King Qin Zhao was also respectful when he saw him, without the slightest bit of a monarch's shelf, just like an old friend meeting.
This kind of courtesy, if Zheng Guo hadn't experienced it himself, he wouldn't have believed it to be true even if he was killed.
"Your Majesty, when the construction starts, please say a few words." Zheng Guo took a breath, calmed down his excitement, and said to King Qin Zhao.
"Good! The widow said a few words. King Qin Zhao bowed his head slightly, raised his right hand high, and the Qin people knew that King Qin Zhao was going to speak, so they all pricked up their ears and listened quietly.
"The people of Great Qin: Today is a good day! It's a good day to start building canals! King Qin Zhao's white beard fluttered, his white eyebrows lifted, his momentum was mighty, and he said: "Guanzhong is rich, and the first is in the world." However, Guanzhong was also affected by floods and droughts, and for this reason, Daqin has been trying to solve the floods and droughts, but it has never been able to find a way. Now, Daqin has Zheng Guo, a great plumber, and after his investigation, he has found a good way to solve the flood and drought in Guanzhong. Daqin wanted to build a canal in Guanzhong that integrated drainage and irrigation. With this canal, there is no need to worry about disasters in Guanzhongdi! ”
"Long live Great Qin!" Although it has long been known that the canal to be built by the Qin State this time is extraordinary, it is a large-scale water conservancy project that integrates drainage and irrigation. However, after being confirmed by King Qin Zhao himself, it still made the Qin people excited, and they all raised their arms and shouted.
King Qin Zhao's words were very brief, and it was over in just a few words. Then, he picked up the tool, held it tightly in his hand, and swung it down.
Zheng Guoqu has started! (To be continued......)
