Chapter Twenty-Six: Li Bing's Entry into Shu (II)

King Qin Zhao, Fan Sui, Bai Qi, Sima Terrier, and Prince Yingzhu all had round eyes and ghostly expressions on their faces.

Not for anything else, but they were too surprised, they really couldn't believe that Qin Yiren would recommend Li Bing.

"Yiren, the person you want to recommend is the water engineer of Chu State? The one who just arrived in Xianyang? It took a long time for King Qin Zhao to react, and he was a little uncertain.

"That's right, it's him." Qin Yiren nodded heavily and affirmed loudly.

"Alien, it's good that you can recommend talents, but do you know his talents?" King Qin Zhao was quite serious, enlightened Qin Yiren, and said: "Great Qin attaches great importance to talents, and is eager to seek talents, can you not ask about it?" Not to mention anything else, it is Shang Jun, after he entered Qin, he met Xiaogong three times in a row, the first two times, Xiaogong thought that he was in name only, not a great talent. It wasn't until the third time that Shang Jun went to 'Qiang Qin Jiu Ce', and Xiao Gong knew Shang Jun's talent, so he reused it. ”

Shang Ying's entry into Qin was not only a major event in the history of Qin, but also a major event in Chinese history, he laid the foundation for unification and laid the foundation for Qin Shi Huang to unify China.

However, it was quite tortuous for Shang Ying to be reused by Qin Xiaogong, because Shang Ying met Qin Xiaogong three times in a row before he was recognized by Qin Xiaogong.

The first time they met, Shang Ying talked about the "emperor" way, quoted scriptures, and showed his erudition. However, only halfway through his words, Qin Xiaogong fell asleep, and by the time Shang Ying finished speaking, Qin Xiaogong had already slept beautifully, and threw down the sentence "Kecheng and erudition" and left.

Jing Jianda, who recommended Shang Ying, complained about Shang Ying, saying why do you say these things that are not boundary?

Shang Ying didn't care, and asked Jing Jian to recommend him again. said that he still had a way to say Qin Xiaogong. Jing Jian was skeptical. In the end, I still believed in Shang Ying. Again, I recommend Shang Ying. Qin Xiaogong thought about it, but he still summoned Shang Ying to see him. This time, Shang Ying did not talk about the emperor's way, but talked about the "king's" way.

Halfway through speaking, Qin Xiaogong fell asleep again. After Shang Ying finished speaking, Qin Xiaogong slept beautifully, threw down the sentence "sincere and pedantic people", and walked away.

This. Jing Jian didn't just complain about Shang Ying, but was disappointed, saying Shang Ying, what's the matter with you? Haven't you always been good at it? How can you say such useless words?

Shang Ying asked Jing Jian to recommend him again. This time, Jing Jian quit and said that you are not finished, I have already recommended you twice, how can there be any reason to recommend you for the third time.

Shang Ying said that the first two times he talked about pedantic learning was because he didn't know Qin Xiaogong, and he took this opportunity to investigate Qin Xiaogong. Now, he has a plan. This time it will definitely be done. Jing Jian still didn't do it. Shang Ying said that lobbying the monarch is the same as doing business, and what is put on the surface is inferior. If you meet someone who doesn't know the goods, you will treat the bad goods as treasures.

Qin Xiaogong doesn't want those pedantic learnings, proving that Qin Xiaogong is a monarch with vision, and he wants to be practical. This is like the truth that a person with a discerning eye can recognize treasures.

Jing Jian was finally persuaded by Shang Ying and recommended Shang Yang for the third time. Qin Xiaogong didn't want to see Shang Ying, a "pedantic" person, Jing Jian had to say Shang Ying's words, Qin Xiaogong thought it made sense, I just want to see what treasures you have?

The third time they met, Shang Ying no longer talked about those pedantic talks, but on the "strong Qin Nine Strategies", which was greatly appreciated by Qin Xiaogong, and the two talked tirelessly for three days and three nights, which opened the curtain of Shang Ying's law change.

King Qin Zhao's allusion to Shang Ying's third encounter with Qin Xiaogong is to warn Qin Yiren that although Qin attaches great importance to talents, it must also investigate talents, and cannot use the wrong person because he does not understand.

"If Li Bing can't govern Shu, how can there be Dujiangyan? How can there be a land of abundance? Qin Yiren muttered in his heart.

Li Bing is the best candidate to govern Shu!

"Besides, Li Bing is an amazing water worker, he is good at water management, but he is not good at governance." King Qin Zhao's snow-white head shook wildly, directly denying it.

If Li Bing is good at water management and can build a good water conservancy project, King Qin Zhao will definitely believe it. If you want to say that Li Bing is in charge, he won't believe it if he kills King Qin Zhao.

"Yes, Mrs. Wang." Fan Sui also agreed.

"Father, is Li Bing good at governance, why don't you invite him to come and inquire?" Qin Yiren has absolute confidence in Li Bing, and said: "Cheng has been in Qin for a long time, and he has been in Qin for nearly two years, and he is almost about to leave Qin. Summoning Li Bing to inquire, it won't take a long time. ”

Although Fan Sui was very trusted by King Qin Zhao and gave Qin a strange strategy of "distant friendship and close attack", however, his appearance was not smooth sailing, and there were still some twists and turns.

Fan Sui came to Xianyang with Qin's envoy Wang Ji, and lived for nearly two years, and wrote to King Qin Zhao many times, wanting to ask to see King Qin Zhao, but King Qin Zhao did not see him.

It wasn't until King Qin Zhao's uncle Marquis was going to send troops to attack Qi that Fan Sui's opportunity came, and he seized the opportunity to write to King Qin Zhao, bitterly stating the disadvantages of attacking Qi and listing the lessons of Wei's attack on Zhongshan.

King Qin Zhao saw him at this time, and before meeting, Fan Sui also took a handle and said, "I only know that the queen mother of Qin has a queen mother, but I don't know that there is a king of Qin", which made King Qin Zhao more heartfelt when he saw him.

Because King Qin Zhao at that time was only a fictitious King of Qin, the real power of Qin was in the hands of King Qin Zhao's mother, Empress Dowager Xuan.

After the two met, they talked for a few days and nights, and King Qin Zhao appreciated Fan Sui unusually and appointed him as a guest secretary, officially launching the action to regain power. Under Fan Sui's strategy, King Qin Zhao took back the position of prime minister that had been held by the Marquis for decades in one fell swoop, and forced Empress Dowager Xuan to hand over power.

"It makes sense." King Qin Zhao thought about it, but still thought that Qin Yiren was right.

It happened that Li Bing was in Xianyang, got the king's order, and was busy entering the palace.

After seeing the ceremony, King Qin Zhao asked, "Li Bing, how do you say Shuzhong should be governed?" ”

"Ahh Li Bing's mouth was wide open, and he couldn't close it for a long time, and his face was confused.

Li Bing is a water worker, King Qin Zhao summoned him into the palace, he originally thought that he was going to ask about water conservancy, but he didn't expect that King Qin Zhao would ask him how to govern Shu, which was too unexpected, too unexpected.

"Your Majesty, Li Bing is just a water worker, good at managing water, but he doesn't know how to govern." Li Bing finally came back to his senses, so he politely refused.

"Hmm." King Qin Zhao nodded slightly and glanced at Qin Yiren. That means, do you see? Li Bing is self-aware, he knows that he is good at water control and not good at governance, so he can't talk about it.

"Li Bing, if you were asked to govern Shudi, what would you do?" Qin Yiren did not give up, but encouraged him, and said: "This is just if, not true, if you have any ideas, just say it, don't be afraid." Even if it's wrong, it's nothing, it's a fake after all. ”

King Qin Zhao originally wanted Li Bing to leave, but seeing that Qin Yiren hadn't given up yet, he had to temporarily rest his heart, and said nonchalantly: "Yiren is right, if you have something to say, just say it." The court of Daqin is not the land of Shandong, and it is enough to speak freely. ”

Li Bing, who was encouraged, pondered for a moment and said, "Since this is the case, please allow Li Bing to be presumptuous." ”

As soon as the opening remarks were over, Li Bing spit out the block in his chest and said, "Shudi, Li Bing has been there and surveyed ......"

"What? Have you ever been to Shudi? King Qin Zhao raised his eyebrows, his eyes flashed, and said, "Tell me, talk about it." ”

The land of Bashu is too remote and inconvenient, and the Qin State does not know much about the land of Bashu.

"Ice is to control the water, running in all directions, and there are many flooded places in Shuzhong, I have been there." Li Bing's words were quite exciting, and he said: "In my opinion, the land of Bashu is fertile, and there are thousands of miles of Pingchuan, if it is well managed, it is no worse than Guanzhong, and Daqin will have another granary." ”

"Really?" For King Qin Zhao, what he wants to hear most at the moment is the word "granary". If there was enough grain and grass, the Qin army would have marched eastward in a big way, and the war of annihilation had already begun.

"It's true!" Li Bing's voice is not high, but it is loud, so that people dare not have the slightest doubt.

"The land of Bashu is fertile, why is it dangerous and bad, and the people are not able to make a living?" King Qin Zhao did not know much about the situation in Bashu, which was a common problem in the Qin State for decades.

"It's because the Minjiang River is raging." Li Bing's opinion is very unique, and he said: "Those who want to cure Bashu must first control the water; Those who want to control the water must first control the Minjiang River. The Minjiang River is raging, the place through which it flows is frequent, and the place where the Minjiang River does not flow through is the continuous drought, so the people of the land of Bashu are not able to make a living, and it has become a dangerous mountain and bad water. ”

"In your opinion, how should the water be controlled?" King Qin Zhao's eyes flashed, his body leaned forward, and his ears were erected high.

Not only did King Qin Zhao's interest increase greatly, but Fan Sui, Bai Qi, and Sima Terrier were all like this.

"In my opinion, when a water conservancy is built at the key point of the Minjiang River, the Minjiang River can be controlled." When it came to water conservancy, Li Bing's eyes were radiant and passionate, and he said: "As long as the Minjiang River is cured, the rest of the things can be solved." Then, build branch canals and hair canals in the land of Bashu, and the land of Bashu can become a granary. ”

"Hmm." King Qin Zhao bowed slightly, and then asked, "Then how to build a canal?" ”

Next, it became Li Bing's performance. Li Bing is worthy of being a famous water worker, talking endlessly, talking about all kinds of water conservancy repairs.

When he finished speaking, the whole upper study was silent, and no one spoke.

Even Qin Yiren was also shocked, although he knew that Li Bing was good, he didn't know that Li Bing was so good. After Li Bing's explanation, even people like King Qin Zhao, Qin Yiren, and Fan Sui who don't understand water conservancy know that this matter is feasible.

"Good! Good! That's great! King Qin Zhao's face was full of red light, his hands struck lightly, and said, "Li Bing, you are the Bashu Taishou!" ”

"Good! Belch! What the? Bashu Taishou? Li Bing didn't react for a while, first he agreed by inertia, and then he was surprised, pointed to his nose, and said, "I'm too guarded?" ”

The mouth was wide open, the eyes were round, and the expression was incredulous, as if I had seen an old sow go up a tree.

Li Bing is a cloth cloth and water worker, from a humble background, and has been treated with white eyes and cold treatment in his life, where did he think that King Qin Zhao would order him to be the Taishou of Bashu.

Taishou, that is a big man, a big official in the frontier, even Li Bing would never have dreamed that he would become a Taishou one day, and he couldn't be surprised at all. (To be continued......)
