Chapter 69 Zheng Guoqu

"Your Majesty, Nanjun sent a song."

"Put it down!"

"Whoa!"

Zhao Gao respectfully put down a roll of bamboo slips and retreated lightly.

After Ying Zheng finished dealing with a volume of songs, he opened the notes that Zhao Gaoxin had just sent and took a look, and it was this glance that instantly made Ying Zheng's originally serious face smile.

"There is news from Nanjun that [winter wheat] has matured, and the average yield per mu is more than two stones. In this way, my Great Qin will no longer have the worry of famine in the future! ”

Ying Zheng put Song Shu aside, and Gai Nie, who was beside Ying Zheng, glanced at it, his eyes flickered, and then he arched his hand towards Ying Zheng and said, "The minister is here to congratulate the king." ”

"Hehe~~"

Ying Zheng chuckled, and could see that he was indeed in a good mood.

After that, Ying Zheng seemed to remember something, and then asked, "When does Mr. Gai plan to leave?" and the widow may make a feast for thee. ”

"In this trip, I just want to travel lightly, or don't bother the king."

"That's fine."

Ying Zheng obviously also understood Gai Nie's character, so he didn't force it, but just said: "Before Mr. Gai leaves the Qin State, do you want to go to Hanzhong and his party?" ”

Gai Nie nodded, "Yes." ”

Ying Zheng said with a smile: "Since this is the case, then please ask Mr. Gai to help the widow escort a person along the way and go to Hanzhong together!" ”

Gai Nie didn't refuse, but just arched his hand and said, "The minister takes the order." ”

······

"Report to the king, the Korean envoy has arrived."

Just as Gai Nie was talking to Ying Zheng, he saw a guard walking quickly from outside the palace and respectfully reporting to Ying Zhengyu.

Regarding the dispatch of South Korea's 'envoys' to visit, it is obvious that someone had informed Ying Zheng in advance, so when he heard the news, Ying Zheng was not surprised, but just restrained his expression and said majestically.

"Xuan!"

"Whoa!"

Two quarters of an hour later.

The Korean envoys and dozens of ministers of the Qin State who were used to 'fill the scene' gathered in the Xianyang Palace.

"King Qin has arrived."

With the shrill shouts of the palace guards, the ministers and the envoys of South Korea who arrived on this trip bowed down and saluted: "The ministers will see the king." ”

"Excuse me!"

A majestic voice came from above the throne, and everyone raised their heads.

The next second.

Ying Zheng saw Han Fei, and Han Fei also saw Ying Zheng.

"Han Fei, let's meet again."

Han Fei was also surprised.

A few years ago, the internal power struggle in Xianyang was in a dangerous period, and Yingzheng had just ascended the throne at that time, and had neither military power nor political power.

So at that time, after reading the article "Five Worms" written by Han Fei, Ying Zheng deeply felt Han Fei's great talent, and did not hesitate to take the risk of secretly visiting South Korea, intending to recruit Han Fei for his own use.

At the beginning, Han Fei's 'Legalist thought' and Yingzheng's 'power royal road' were a match made in heaven, but it was a pity that Han Fei's identity was not an ordinary hundred schools, but the ninth son of the Korean royal family.

Although Han Fei also hopes to spread his 'Legalist thoughts' all over the world and create a 'ninety-nine' world.

But the world he hoped to establish was the world of Korea, not the world of Qin

So Han Fei could only refuse the olive branch thrown by Ying Zheng.

failed to recruit Han Fei, which also made Ying Zheng feel very disappointed for a while.

Until ······

Mo Jun appeared.

If Han Fei's 'Legalist thought' can help Yingzheng better govern the world.

Then everything that Mojun brings is to directly reduce the dimension of this era from the level of the era.

As the saying goes, if you have a new love, you will naturally forget your old love.

Since there was Mojun, Ying Zheng had almost forgotten about Han Fei, but he didn't expect that just when Qin was just preparing to implement the big time of dominating the world, Han Fei took the initiative to come to Ying Zheng again.

Last time we met.

Han Fei and Ying Zheng can still be called 'friends', but now in just a few years, the two have completely stood on two opposite positions.

For this point, even Han Fei can only sigh at the impermanence of the world.

"Today, you follow the Zhou etiquette and represent South Korea as an envoy to Qin, I don't know what you have to do?"

Ying Zheng spoke again, and there was not the slightest emotional fluctuation in his tone.

Although Ying Zheng and Han Fei still have a little friendship, this friendship between the two is not worth mentioning at the national level.

As for why, at this critical moment, Ying Zheng is still willing to meet with South Korean envoys.

This is mainly because of some etiquette left over from the Zhou Dynasty.

The Zhou Dynasty implemented a 'sub-feudal system', in which the vassal states were divided into feudal autonomous, but nominally they were under the unified jurisdiction of the Zhou Dynasty.

Therefore, in this case, if there is a contradiction between the vassal states of the Zhou Dynasty, although they can also lead their troops to war, but after the war, the defeated can ransom the prisoners, soldiers, and even their own lives and rights from the victor by ransom.

And this kind of war game, which sounds a bit like 'children playing house', even continued throughout the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period after the collapse of the Zhou royal family.

This is also one of the reasons why the Qin State has obviously transferred troops to directly destroy South Korea, but it still has to receive Han Fei with courtesy before the war.

"Han Fei wants to introduce someone to the king."

Hearing Ying Zheng mention the matter, Han Fei also straightened his expression and said with his hand.

"Oh? Who? ”

"A master from the Mo family, he has a gift that he wants to offer to the king."

"Mo family!"

Ying Zheng thought for a while, and suddenly remembered the six-fingered black man he met in Hanzhong before, and said, "Then announce him to the palace!" ”

It didn't take long.

I saw a man who was not good-looking and walked into Xianyang Palace.

"Villain Zheng Guo, see King Qin."

"No courtesy."

Ying Zheng said calmly: "Do you have any gifts to offer to the widow?" ”

"The villain has spent ten years walking through the mountains and rivers of the Seven Kingdoms, and finally worked hard to get a treasure map that can make the Qin State strong, so today I am here to dedicate it to the king."

Zheng Guo said, slowly took out a beast skin scroll from his arms, and respectfully presented it with both hands.

"Treasure map? Present. ”

Ying Zheng's eyes narrowed slightly, and then he said majestically.

The chamberlain Zhao Gao got the order, and immediately stepped in front of Zheng Guo, and after taking the treasure map in the other party's hand, he first checked it to confirm that it was harmless, and then respectfully handed it to Ying Zheng.

Ying Zheng opened it and glanced at it, and his eyes suddenly froze.

On this 'treasure map' presented, what is painted is nothing else, it is a map of the mountains and rivers of the Qin State.

It's just that compared with the original topographic map, this 'treasure map' has an artificially opened 'canal'.

If Mo Jun is here at this moment, he must be able to see at a glance that the canal painted on this 'treasure map' is the famous 'Zheng Guo Canal' in later generations.

It's just that I don't know if it's because of the wings instigated by his little butterfly, or because this world is not the official history.

It stands to reason.

This 'Zhengguo Canal' should have started construction more than ten years ago, but now it has been delayed until now, and it was dedicated to the King of Qin by the waterman in front of him.

Although Ying Zheng is not proficient in water conservancy engineering, he can also see that if this 'water canal' marked on it is opened up, it is enough to make the Qin State instantly have more fertile fields.

Looking at the map in his hand, Ying Zheng's eyes closed slightly, and he pondered for a long time.

And Zheng Guo below saw that Ying Zheng was silent, although his face did not show abnormality, but the palms of his hands had already oozed a layer of fine beads of sweat because of nervousness.

The 'treasure map' that Zheng Guo dedicated to Ying Zheng is naturally true, if the Qin State can successfully open up this canal according to the plan on this map, it will be enough for the Qin State to have thousands of miles of fertile fields out of thin air.

But Zheng Guo's original intention of offering this treasure map was not really for the sake of Qin State.

Zheng Guoqu is a huge project.

If Yingzheng decides to start building this canal, then even with the current national strength of Qin, a large part of the manpower and material resources will be involved.

And so it goes.

The pace of Qin's attack on Korea will inevitably be delayed.

This is Yan Dan's plan.

That's right.

The "Zheng Guo", a water worker from the Mo family in front of him, was not someone invited by Han Fei, but before Han Fei sent an envoy, Dan, the prince of Yan State, took the initiative to give it to Han Fei.

As the saying goes, pull a hair and move the whole body.

With the geographical location of South Korea today, if Qin really sent troops to South Korea, then it would be impossible for the rest of the countries to stay out of it completely.

Therefore, since the Qin State transferred troops to operate on the Korean border, not only South Korea itself, but also Yan, Zhao, Wei, and Qi near South Korea······ and several other countries have expressed great concern about Qin's actions.

I don't know how long it took.

Finally.

Ying Zheng spoke: "This ······ It is indeed a 'treasure map'. Zheng Guo, you are very satisfied with the gift you offered, what reward do you want? ”

Hearing Ying Zheng's speech, Zheng Guo, whose palms were already sweating, suddenly secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then decisively saluted Ying Zheng and said: "The villain doesn't need a reward, the villain's biggest wish in this life is to see the 'treasure map' drawn by the villain be built successfully." ”

"So Zheng Guo implored the King of Qin to personally supervise the work of the villain and complete this project."

Ying Zheng's eyes narrowed slightly, he glanced at Zheng Guo deeply, nodded slowly, and said, "Since this is the case, the widow will follow your wish and leave this matter to you to supervise." Then the widow will send someone to help you, so don't let me down. ”

Zheng Guo was immediately overjoyed, and hurriedly thanked him: "The villain thanks King Qin." ”

After solving Zheng Guo's affairs.

Ying Zheng turned his head to look at Han Fei again, and said: "Han Fei, you visited the widow on behalf of South Korea, and gave the widow such a big gift as soon as you met, what do you want?" ”

Han Fei smiled and said, "King Qin has misunderstood. The gift just now was just a meeting gift for Han Fei to visit King Qin on this trip, and this one was the gift that he really wanted to offer to King Qin. ”

After that, Han Fei also reached out and took out a scroll from his arms, and asked the chamberlain to present it to Ying Zheng.

Ying Zheng opened the scroll.

The word "Cunhan" that caught his eyes, and Yingzheng's eyes couldn't help but squint.

And when Ying Zheng carefully read the entire content recorded on the scroll, he was silent for a long time, and then sighed slowly: "Mr. Cai, it really makes the widow admire!" ”

Han Fei had a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, and said modestly: "I dare not be ashamed." ”

Ying Zheng said: "Mr. really doesn't want to join hands with the widow. ”

Han Fei didn't answer.

See here.

Ying Zheng didn't say much anymore, but said: "Mr. 's words, the widow will seriously consider it." During this time, Mr. can temporarily stay in Qin State, and take a look at Qin at will, which can be regarded as a taste of the mountains and rivers of my Qin Kingdom. ”

"That's the end of today's meeting! Retreat! ”

"Wait for the resignation!"
