Chapter 328 After Yao Jia truthfully reported the matter to the First Emperor, the First Emperor frowned and said, "It seems that this princess of the Western Regions has come to marry with a purpose. Anyway, is it obvious that I am biased towards Qin Xi? Even the people of the Western Regions know about it. ”

"Not really." Li Si said: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness Qin Xi's caravan has already gone deep into the Western Regions, and I am afraid that His Royal Highness Qin Xi's deeds have spread as early as the Western Regions, according to the merchants who came back, many women in the Western Regions admire His Royal Highness Qin Xi very much. ”

"This bastard thing, people in the Central Plains are famous in the Western Regions." The First Emperor said with a smile, as a father, who wouldn't want his son to be famous.

"Your Majesty, what should this princess of the Western Regions do?" Yao Jia asked.

"Since this princess of the Western Regions doesn't look down on her real son, then by the way, find an official's son to marry her, a little Loulan country, it's good to let her choose a real son to marry, but she can't even look down on her own son!" The First Emperor snorted coldly.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks it is impossible, at present, the Western Regions have a great role in promoting the commerce of my Great Qin, and this move is easy to offend the Loulan Kingdom of the Western Regions, and it will cut off the way for my Great Qin to go west to do business." Yao Jia said.

"Then what do you say, this princess of the Western Regions obviously has a purpose to get married, I won't let my real son marry such a woman!" The First Emperor looked at Yao Jia and said.

Although the first emperor said that it was a son, and did not specify which prince it was, Li Si and Yao Jia both knew that the emperor was talking about His Royal Highness Qin Xi.

Li Si arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, the minister has a plan, maybe he can make this princess of the Western Regions retreat." ”

"Say!" The First Emperor looked at Li Si and said. Li Si said: "But let Lord Yao Jia tell the envoy of the Western Regions that His Royal Highness Qin Xi was ordered to guard the south, and I am afraid that he will not be able to come back within five or six years, or even ten years, if this princess waits, it is also their own business, and I, Great Qin, will not be responsible." ”

"I think it's okay! Ten years is enough for a young woman to become a yellow-faced woman. Yao Jia said. The First Emperor's eyes lit up and said, "If this princess of the Western Regions said that she was going to the south to see Qin Xi, let her go, but if she was intercepted and killed by the remnants of the Six Kingdoms on the way, I, Great Qin, would not be responsible." ”

"Your Majesty means!" Li Si was startled and made a gesture to wipe his neck.

"Could it be that my Great Qin can still do such a dirty thing, but this Western Regions mission is known to everyone when it comes to my Great Qin, and if she wants to go south, it is inevitable that the remnants of the Six Kingdoms will attack her, causing a big war between my Great Qin and Loulan." The First Emperor said lightly.

"Wait for me." Li Si and Yao Jia glanced at each other and immediately understood. After Yao Jia left the palace, he went straight to the official post and explained the situation to Jibu, who in turn told Princess Zazhelina.

Princess Zarelina just smiled slightly, and said: "Go and tell that Lord Yao that I will leave for the south tomorrow, and I don't have to worry about Daqin's safety along the way, I will bear all the consequences." ”

"Yes, Your Royal Highness the Princess." After Ji Bu told Yao Jia what Hot Rolling Lina said, Yao Jia suddenly frowned, he was not sure before, but now it can be determined that this princess is probably running for His Royal Highness Qin Xi.

Then what is her purpose, you must know that Qin Xi is the identity of the prince is impossible to know in the Western Regions.

······ On the other side, after Qin Xi left everyone in Wu County, he took the ancient axe and the wolf light horse to personally inspect the two places he chose.

It was the first time Qin Xi saw the scene of trees and wetlands on both sides of the Yangtze River, this is also this era, in later generations, even if there are wetlands and forests on both sides of the Yangtze River, they are all man-made behind, and this kind of thing can no longer be found now.

Everyone is riding a boat all the way west, and now after learning to swim, the wolf light rider does not have such a serious seasickness feeling for the boat, only a few are still seasick.

The boat traveled on the river for two days, and finally arrived at the first place planned by Qin Xi, that is, the area of Dongting Lake.

At this time, Dongting Lake was just a small lake, connected to a tributary of the Yangtze River. The local officials have been waiting for a long time again, and they have put up a lot of battles, after all, the prince is here, and the security issues and ceremonies are not small for officials from all over the country.

Qin Xi refused the offer to enter the city, and instead dragged the county guard directly to Dongting Lake. At first glance, the area around Dongting Lake is very desolate, with only a few fields and villages on one side.

After asking, I found out that there are large snakes that can eat people in this lake, and the water level rises seriously in summer, which is not conducive to farming, so the population is very sparse.

This made Qin Xi very happy, after all, it was sparsely populated, and there was a lot less trouble for the expansion of this lake.

Qin Xi took out the map and asked the county guard to draw out where there were people near the lake, and then rode a horse to inspect it in person.

It took ten days, Qin Xi finally knew why this place would become such a big lake in later generations, the terrain here was too low, even lower than the bottom of the Yangtze River, and in some places it was even dozens of feet lower!

The reason why there is no lake now is that as long as there is a slope that separates this place from the Yangtze River, as long as the slope is dug up, the Yangtze River water can be poured in.

When he heard that Qin Xi was going to dig up the slope and pour the water of the Yangtze River in, he was so frightened that the county guard's face turned white, and he objected vigorously.

The county guard said that the relocation of the people and the relocation of the ancestral graves of the people are not a small matter, and once it is not solved well, it is likely to cause a civil uprising, and even if he has ten heads, it will not be enough to cut off at that time.

But he was just a county guard, Qin Xi finally finalized it, as for the settlement of the people, Qin Xi just sent someone to do it.

After a lap, Qin Xi returned to the boat weakly. Dongting Lake was slowly formed in later generations, and human intervention can be said to be very small, and now I want human intervention to form it rapidly, and the pressure I face is not only from the people in it, but also from the power of nature.

Zhao Yi stood beside Qin Xi and said, "In the circle drawn by His Highness, there are fifteen villages in one area, and the number of people adds up to four or five thousand people. ”

"Yes, even if all of them are willing to relocate, where to move is a big problem." Qin Xi sighed.

Qin Xi stood up and said firmly: "If Lao Tzu didn't bring it up, forget it, since Lao Tzu proposed it, and dug the pit for himself, then Lao Tzu will fill this pit, and he won't be able to go bankrupt!" "Since Qin Xi has decided to go one way to the dark, there will be no turning back.

Under Qin Xi's order, the Qinxi Chamber of Commerce stopped all unnecessary investments, integrated all the funds and transported them to the south, and even a large number of people from the Qinxi Chamber of Commerce began to assemble in the south.

Such a big move naturally attracted the attention of the imperial court. After asking the housekeeper, the First Emperor suddenly felt that he was a little too much, and it didn't seem to work if he didn't give Qin Xi any money.

However, there is another problem that this raises is what the First Emperor is most worried about.
