……

Li Mu assigned a separate task to Meng Tian for the first time, and the young general Meng Tian was very excited, and when he saw Zhu Xiang, he actually wore a full armor, and was laughed at by Zhu Xiang.

The soldiers were managed by Meng Tian, and Zhu Xiang only glanced at the list of accompanying craftsmen.

There are not many craftsmen with names and surnames, and most of them are very casual names of the Shu people. Zhu Xiang glanced at the list, and his gaze stopped at one name.

"Zheng Guo?" Zhu Xiang's voice trembled.

Yukihime asked, "What's wrong with this man?" ”

Zhu Xiang grinned: "No problem, no problem at all." ”

Ouch, my honest man, you're really good at catching people! Zheng Guo, a craftsman with a name and a surname, all belong to the Han royal family! Where did you get the guys from?

He didn't see Lian Gong when he went back this time. Lian Gong took the military camp as his home, and he looked like he didn't miss Zhu Xiang at all and didn't make excuses to visit Zhu Xiang.

As a result, Lian Gong still misses me.

Zhu Xiang groped for the word "Zheng Guo" with his fingers, and his eyes were crooked with a smile, which was very similar to Ying Xiaozheng when he was sincerely laughing.

Zheng Guo is here, will Zheng Guoqu be far away? After he asked Zheng Guo to repair Zheng Guoqu in Guangling, he recommended Zheng Guo to Xia Tong and asked Zheng Guo to go to Guanzhong to repair Zheng Guoqu!

However, Zheng Guoqu is more than 300 miles long, and the prisoners who built it will probably die a lot.

Zhu Xiang sighed in his heart and suppressed the discomfort.

After the completion of the Zhengguo Canal, it can cover more than 40,000 hectares of land in Guanzhong, and the people who survive will die more than those who repair the canal.

When Guangling Zheng Guoqu played a role, he recommended Zheng Guoju to Xia Tong. With the current financial resources of the Qin State, it should be easier to repair the Zheng State Canal than during the reign of the Qin King in history.

Zhu Xiang instructed his subordinates: "Call Zheng Guo here, and I will talk to him about building a canal." ”

Chapter 185: The Dream of Starting a Family

Zheng Guo is a black-faced and bearded man, and his face is a little sad.

No wonder he looked sad. Exiled from South Korea and separated from his hometown by thousands of mountains and rivers, can he not be sad?

Zheng Guo originally went to Qin to repair a canal in 247 BC, and after exposing his identity as a spy, he could still say that the monarchs and ministers of Qin agreed to him to continue to repair, which shows that his eloquence is good, and he is not a low-level commoner, he should also be a scholar who has read books and has a heritage.

In the turbulent times of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the descendants of the monarch were still reduced to commoners who cultivated in the fields, and it was normal for scholars to become craftsmen.

When Zhu Xiang called Zheng Guo to come, he also called the Mo family and the peasant family who had been following him.

The originally tighter organization of the peasant family and the Mo family has been dispersed, and Xu Ming and Xianghe are the last leaders.

This is a difficult decision made by Xu Ming and Xianghe in order to pass on the ideas of the peasant family and the Mo family.

They are now staying in the Xianyang Academy, and they want to pass on their doctrines in the same way as Xunzi to become professors in the Xianyang Academy.

Xu Ming studied Zhu Xiang's cross-breeding of the same style, and the Mo family pondered the physical and chemical knowledge that Zhu Xiang wrote to them. In addition to fulfilling Zhu Xiang's desire to turn technology into knowledge, they are also rewriting books, hoping to turn the simple ideas of the peasant and Mohist families into "tools" that can be used by rulers.

It's sad to become a "tool", but if it's not even a "tool", then no matter how good the idea is, it's just a flash in the pan, and it seems wonderful, but it's actually empty.

They have to accept this.

However, although the peasant family and the Mo family dispersed the organization, there was no longer a "leader". But in the hearts of the peasant family and the disciples of the Mo family, Zhu Xiang was the last "leader" and spontaneously followed Zhu Xiang.

Although Zhu Xiang has no doormen now, the family servants are like clouds, and basically these two disciples drag their families in to grab work.

Qin Wangzhu knew that the organizations of the Nong and Mo families would not disperse easily, so for the sake of ruling stability, he acquiesced to this matter.

He is not the king of Qin Zhaoxiang, so he will not have to turn the people who serve Zhu Xiang into his own people, so that Zhu Xiang will not breathe comfortably.

After Qin Prince Chu succeeded to the throne, let alone let Zhu Xiang take care of it.

Therefore, if Zhu Xiang raises his arms now, the hundreds of families around him will draw their weapons and tell you what it means to be a mixed society among the hundreds of princes.

Both the Mo family and the peasant family have achieved the achievement of non-Confucianism and non-Confucianism.

What's more, there are quite a lot of Confucian disciples around Zhu Xiang.

Zheng Guo's sad face froze when he looked at the two "family members" holding swords beside Zhu Xiang, and he didn't dare to be sad, so he put on a flattering look.

"Do it, don't be nervous, look at the map first, I'm going to build a few irrigation canals in Guangling." Zhu Xiang said, "I heard that you are very talented in water conservancy and irrigation construction, and you are very good, so I will recommend you to the King of Qin and become the official worship." ”

Zheng Guo's flattering expression froze.

Zhu Xiang smiled at Zheng Guo and said, "I heard that you used to be a family of craftsmen enshrined by the Korean government, if you really have the ability, you can also come to the Qin State official mansion as an offering." When you go to Xianyang, if you miss your family, you can bring your family after buying your property. ”

Zheng Guoshen was in a trance for a moment, and then a tanned and red face showed an excited expression: "Xie Zhu Xianggong!" ”

Zhu Xiang said: "This is called Jiao Yun, who is also good at water conservancy, and is a scholar of the Mojia theory. ”

Jiao Yun put down the sword he was holding in his hand and gestured to Zheng Guo.

Zheng Guo looked at Jiao Yun's fierce posture and sweated.

Well, this one looks like a disciple of the Mo family, fierce enough.

Zhu Xiang said to Jiao Yun: "You also sit down." ”

Jiao Yun sat down after Zheng Guo squirmed and sat down, but the sword was always on his knee, as if he was threatening someone, and Zhu Xiang was very helpless.

Jiao Yun was not Qin Mo, but a person who followed Chu Mo's son.

Qin Mo and Chu Mo discussed the merger, and now that the Mo family organization is dispersed, Chu Mo did not leave, and followed Zhu Xiang to Southern Qin.

They were originally Chu people, and they could be regarded as returning to their hometown to work.

Qin Mo is more craftsman, Chu Mo is more ranger, and Qi Mo is more debater.

Now Qi Mo is still living a very leisurely life in the Jixia School Palace, Qin Mo and Chu Mo are officials in various parts of the Qin State, and those who don't like restraint stay by Zhu Xiang's side as nominal servants and actual doormen.

Therefore, Zhu Xiang does not accept doormen, but in fact, he just does not have the name of doormen.

King Qin turned a blind eye, and others didn't dare to say it.

said to Qin Wangzhu that Qin Wangzhu would only "discuss it later". Prince Chu of Qin directly abandoned the city.

Now there are rumors in Xianyang City, originally thought that during the period of King Qin Zhaoxiang and King Qin Renwen, Changping Jun was valued enough by the king. Now that Prince Chu of Qin has succeeded to the throne, and then he is still following the crown prince, they know what it means to be powerful.

When Prince Chu of Qin heard such a ballad on the parade, he nodded frequently.

That's right, that's good, Zhu Xiang, listen to it, and reflect quickly.

Jiao Yun is the person who doesn't want to be a celebrity in Chu Mozhong. He is very good at his skills, and can draw a strong bow on a galloping horse. Li Mu said that if Jiao Yun went to the north, he must be a good general who chased and killed the Hu people. It's a pity that Jiao Yunzhi is not here, and would rather be covered in dust by force.

Zhu Xiang went to the north bank of the Yangtze River this time, and Li Mu deliberately pulled out the coke of chopped meat from the kitchen and asked him to change his clothes for Zhu Xiang as a personal guard.

Li Mu told Jiao Yun that if the Chu people really had a bad brain to attack Guangling, no matter whether Zhu Xiang was willing or not, he would bring Zhu Xiang back if he knocked him unconscious.

Jiao Yun didn't nod, only said that he would protect Zhu Xianggong.

Zhu Xiang acquiesced to the matter.

It's just that when he saw Jiao Yun holding a long sword and walking around behind him at any time, looking like he would take out the sword at any time, he didn't know if others were afraid or not, he was a little stunned, afraid that Jiao Yun would be injured by mistake.

Although Jiao Yun is a Chu Mo ranger, it is only a "tendency". As a Mohist scholar, not to mention learning to be rich and reading all books, he is also a "reader", not just fighting.

Jiao Yun has a good understanding of hydrology, hydraulics, geology, etc., and is good at designing boat dams, which coincides with the technical path of building irrigation canals.

Li Mu chose Jiao Yun to be Zhu Xiang's bodyguard, and also took this into account.

Although Jiao Yun may be used to killing all kinds of delicious meat and chopping all kinds of delicious meat in the kitchen, which makes it a little scary to have a murderous aura on his body at any time, but when he talks about technology, he seems to be very down-to-earth and honest, judging the two of them.

Zheng Guo's heart, which was beating wildly, gradually calmed down after being frightened, and he seriously discussed with Jiao Yun.

Now the scope of the Yangtze River Delta is much smaller than that of Zhu Xiang's time, and without on-the-spot exploration, Zhu Xiang will not use the experience of his previous life to set this life, only listen, at most talk about his own needs, and do not express technical opinions.

Zheng Guo's technology is indeed solid, and some of the "black technology" at this time, such as the irrigation method of using flood irrigation to flush saline-alkali soil, is at your fingertips.

Jiao Yun was well aware of the terrain near Guangling, and it seemed that he had stayed here for a while when he was a ranger of the Chu State.

After only a short half-day conversation, Zhu Xiang could not get a complete plan. He just tried Zheng Guo's ability, and also let Zheng Guo see his own ability and needs, so as to lay a better foundation for the future.

After Zheng Guo went back to rest with an excited look on his face, Zhu Xiang asked, "Are you familiar with Guangling?" ”

Jiao Yun's eyes flashed, and he said honestly: "I am a native of Guangling, but I made a feud in my hometown and fled to Qianzhong County. ”

He paused and added, "My enemies and family members are gone, and I won't cause trouble to Zhu Xianggong." ”

Zhu Xiang smiled: "Look at my status, what kind of trouble can be called trouble?" ”

Jiao Yun smiled honestly: "Indeed." My trouble can't compare to the trouble Zhu Xianggong asked for. ”

Zhu Xiang: "......"

He coughed dryly and said, "How is Zheng Guo?" ”

Jiao Yun said: "The basic skills of craftsmen are quite solid. It's just that his disrespect for Zhu Xianggong is unpleasant. ”

Zhu Xiang was puzzled: "He is very respectful to me, and his courtesies are very thorough." ”

Jiao Yun didn't refute and said, "That's probably because I'm suspicious." ”

He said in his heart, not the kind of etiquette that seems to be thoughtful. Zheng Guo has no heartfelt respect for Zhu Xianggong.

But this is not a big deal, maybe Zheng Guo can't understand Zhu Xianggong's noble character, just a layman, there is no need to care.

Zhu Xiang didn't pay much attention to what Jiao Yun said when he heard this, and continued to talk to Jiao Yun about the things around Guangling, thinking about where to start.

When Zheng Guo returned to the courtyard where the craftsman lived, he was immediately surrounded by his companions.

"Have you seen Changping-kun? Is Changping-kun kind? "My companion was very worried.

Zheng Guo pondered for a while and said, "Zhu Xianggong is not consistent with South Korea's rumors about him, and it is consistent with other countries' rumors about him. ”

The companion pondered Zheng Guo's words for a while, and sighed: "Then I will be relieved." ”

Zheng Guoxin said, not only rest assured, if Zhu Xianggong is really as other people say, he is the most upright gentleman who can practice the word "benevolence", then their future may be good.

Zheng Guo really doesn't respect Zhu Xiang from the bottom of his heart now.

Not to mention that Zhu Xiang is not money, not everyone will like him. Moreover, this is related to the evaluation of Zhu Xiang within South Korea.

Zhu Xiang became famous because of Changping, and the cause of the Battle of Changping was the battle between Qin and Korea. Although by the time of the Battle of Changping, it had nothing to do with Korea. However, the Battle of Shangdang was a battle in which Korea almost completely lost the possibility of fighting for hegemony, so the Korean scholars were somewhat angry with Zhu Xiang, who gained fame for the Battle of Changping.

Zhu Xiang's comments in South Korea are somewhat similar to what Zhu Xiang saw on the Internet in his previous life, "He has been disguised for so long and has never been exposed, and his deeds are not careful, even if he is a gentleman".

Zheng Guo met Zhu Xiang today, although it was only a short glimpse, he also found that Zhu Xiang's reputation in South Korea was biased.
