"It's so hard."

"yes."

Ying Xiaozheng lay paralyzed on the salt soil: "Uncle, salt from the government can greatly increase the revenue of the national treasury, and this must be done." How to suppress the price of salt and make it a little better for salt farmers? If they are so miserable and still can't eat, I'm afraid there will be civil unrest. ”

Zhu Xiang said: "You have to think about this for yourself, and my uncle is not omniscient." ”

Ying Xiaozheng disliked: "Uncle, what do you want!" ”

Zhu Xiang said: "Make snacks for Zheng'er when Zheng'er is thinking?" Want to eat milk fruit ice tower? ”

Ying Xiaozheng immediately came to the spirit: "I want to eat!" Let's go home immediately! ”

Zhu Xiang and Ying Xiaozheng got up slowly, dragged their tired bodies to take a bath and change clothes, and boarded the carriage to go home with the support of Xue Ji and Bai Qi.

"Zheng'er, my uncle is so tired, I won't make snacks today."

"No, my uncle broke his promise and got fat!"

"Fat is fat."

"Hmph, forget it today, change it to tomorrow."

"Thank you, Zheng'er, for your great lack of virtue."

"Huh?!"

"I mean, Great Kindness."

Xue Ji was originally very worried about Zhu Xiang and Ying Xiaozheng, who were tired and paralyzed, but when she saw that the two of them were still arguing on the carriage, she shook her head with a smile.

"Cheng Chan, don't learn from your uncle and eldest brother." Yukihime advised.

Xiao Cheng Chan asked, "Who does Cheng Chan learn?" ”

Xue Ji frowned and thought for a long time, but she didn't expect someone better than her lover and Zheng'er, so she was embarrassed.

Bai Qi smiled: "Let's learn from your uncle and the prince's brother." ”

"Oh." Xiao Chengzhi moved to Ying Xiaozheng's side, "Big brother, do you want me to help you beat your back?" ”

Ying Xiaozheng said: "Nothing to do, let's say, what do you want?" ”

Xiao Chengcheng said: "Do ten less arithmetic problems today!" ”

Ying Xiaozheng said ruthlessly: "Don't even think about it." ”

Xiao Chengchan was very aggrieved, but Xiao Chengchan still tried to help the prince's brother beat his back.

Grievances, knock knock.

Chapter 220: Grow old and strong

When Ying Xiaozheng's arm healed, Wu Jun began to be busy with the summer harvest again.

This year's harvest is still good. The huge fleet of grain carriers sailed upstream, heading for Guanzhong.

Zheng Guo has already repaired the water supply project near Guangling City. This time, he will go to Xianyang with the grain transportation team to repair a canal in Guanzhong.

Zhu Xiang thought of a name for him, and he was called Zheng Guoqu.

Zheng Guo was reluctant to leave and looked at the direction of the ditch.

He very much wanted to rebuild the ditch and connect the Huaishui and the Yangtze River.

But that place is still the territory of the Southern Chu Kingdom, and he can't repair it.

Zheng Guo not only wanted to dredge the ditch, but also wanted to connect the Huaishui River with the Yellow River and connect the north-south waterway.

Zhu Xiang's eyelids jumped when he heard Zheng Guo's ambition, and before Ying Xiaozheng could say what he was eager to say, he took the lead in cutting it off: "No, Zheng'er, you don't want to!" ”

Ying Xiaozheng: "......" I haven't said what I think. Uncle is so annoying.

Zhu Xiang hurriedly recommended Zheng Guo and his old friends away, lest they brag about the North-South Grand Canal around Ying Xiaozheng every day.

Although Zheng Guo was recommended to leave, Ying Xiaozheng still planted a seed of the North-South Grand Canal in his heart.

He began to learn about water conservancy, calculating how much manpower and material resources he needed to dig the Grand Canal from the Yellow River to the Yangtze River, and how much benefit he could create.

Ying Xiaozheng believes that this canal must be dug.

The Yellow River is the hinterland of the Central Plains, and the Yangtze River is a treasure land that he and his uncle have developed with great difficulty.

After he became the king of Qin, the three counties of Southern Qin were too far away from the hinterland of Qin, and it was likely to be out of Qin's control again.

Only by connecting the Yellow River with the Yangtze River waterway and strengthening the communication between the north and the south can the Qin State firmly control the grain-producing land of the three counties of southern Qin.

At the same time, Ying Xiaozheng also has a double capital plan.

In the Western Zhou Dynasty, it was actually a double capital, one in Haojing and the other in Luoyang. Hojing is not far from Xianyang.

Therefore, the Central Plains states said that the Qin State was a barbarian who lived together with Rong Di, although this is true, but the Qin State did not recognize it. How can I be called a barbarian in the land of my Great Qin Longxing?

After the Qin State unifies the world, it will definitely not have only one capital.

According to tradition, Ying Xiaozheng should use Luoyang as the eastern capital.

But if Luoyang is used as the eastern capital, it is best for the north-south canal to detour to Luoyang, so as to supply grain to Luoyang. In this way, the canal will make a big bend.

Ying Xiaozheng looked at the map for a long time, and his eyes fell on Wu County, where he was located.

In fact...... It's not necessarily good to have the west and the east, and the north and the south are not good? Wu County has too much effort from his heart, and it is the only prosperous city he has built with his own hands now, and in the future.

Ying Xiaozheng is domineering in his bones, and he protects his things very tightly, whether it is power or anything else.

The reason why he is very resistant to the living queen is not just because of Zhao Ji, but because of "relatives" and "harem politics".

Or not only the "harem politics", but all the "cadres" who share the power in his hands he is very disgusted.

Grasping a big and small thing, looking at the recital, I can see that my arm is so tired that I hang the emperor of the ages on my neck, but I can think that he has too much possessiveness for his own belongings in his heart.

Therefore, Wu Jun completely belongs to Ying Xiaozheng's territory, and his status in his heart can be imagined.

"Build a north-south canal to connect the north and south rivers, and if possible, build a canal to connect Weishui and Hanshui." Ying Xiaozheng looked at the map and said, "In this way, there are two waterways in Xianyang to supply food." ”

When Ying Xiaozheng was talking to himself, Zhu Xiang stood behind the window with his hands behind his back and sighed softly.

He knew that as long as Ying Xiaozheng thought of the role of the canal, it would not be so easy to dispel his idea of digging the canal.

Before the Sui and Tang dynasties, the sediment accumulation in the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River was not serious, and it was possible to enter the sea directly from the Huaishui to the Yellow River from Chang'an.

Because the Qin, Han and Sui and Tang dynasties were both in Xianyang/Chang'an during their heyday, hundreds of years of population expansion led to large-scale felling of nearby forests, and soil erosion near Chang'an was serious by the time of Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty.

In the middle and late Tang Dynasty, in order to ensure the navigation of Weishui and the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River, a lot of manpower and material resources were spent every year to dredge.

In the Northern Song Dynasty, Chang'an became a frontier and was almost abandoned by the Northern Song Dynasty, and the Northern Song Dynasty no longer made efforts to protect the environment of the Weishui Basin. The forests of the Weishui basin became the largest source of timber in the Northern Song Dynasty, and Weishui completely lost its ability to navigate.

After the return of Sanyi to the river, the navigable capacity of the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River was also completely lost.

Later, when the Ming Dynasty wanted to return to the Han and Tang dynasties, hoping to return to Chang'an, they found a serious problem - Weishui and the Yellow River could be navigable, so that it could be Chang'an of the Han and Tang Dynasties.

The ultimate goal of modern governance of Weishui and the Yellow River is to restore the navigation of Weishui and the Yellow River, so that the homeland of civilization can be revitalized.

But even if China's infrastructure is already very strong, it can only take small steps and hope for a century-old plan.

Now that the Qin Dynasty has not yet been established, the prosperity of the Weishui and Yellow River basins has just begun.

The Hanshui has not yet encountered the earthquake that diverted its course, and the Huaishui has not yet experienced the Yellow River taking Huai into the sea.

If we can really connect the Han River, Huai River, Yangtze River, and Yellow River, we can form a huge rectangular waterway that is all navigable and has three estuaries to the sea......

Zhu Xiang took a deep breath, walked to the door, and pushed the door in.

Ying Xiaozheng immediately panicked and wanted to hide the map.

"Don't hide, I've seen it a long time ago." Zhu Xiang said, "I know I can't dispel your thoughts. Make a plan first, and plan it slowly. The road should be taken step by step, first dredging the ditch, then harnessing the Weishui and the Yellow River, and then connecting the Yellow River and Huaishui. It is very difficult to get through Huaishui and Weishui, and you can pass it on to the next generation. ”

Ying Xiaozheng immediately said: "The next generation? I don't trust the next generation! ”

Zhu Xiang sighed: "Zheng'er, whether you believe it or not, Daqin will be handed over to the next generation after all." If you don't cultivate well because you don't trust it, what will the future of Great Qin become? Do you want Great Qin to be defeated at the hands of your children? ”

Ying Xiaozheng jumped up from the chair as if he had pressed a spring on his buttocks: "Uncle, don't talk nonsense!" ”

Zhu Xiang said: "Only by being prepared for danger in times of peace can we go further and more stable." No, Zheng'er, is your weapon so small that you don't even dare to think about the worst? ”

Looking at his uncle's hateful face, Ying Xiaozheng was so angry that his teeth itched.

He said in his heart, even if Fusu is useless, but he is also a brave and benevolent person, and with the assistance of the Meng family brothers and Li Si, how could he die second.

Even if the Qin Dynasty in the dream realm does have many problems, the national fortune of the century is still no problem, right?

Looking at Ying Xiaozheng's expression, Zhu Xiang knew what he was thinking.

Although the two did not confess each other's golden fingers, they also tacitly guessed most of them.

At least Zhu Xiang knew that Ying Xiaozheng probably knew about Fusu.

Because Ying Xiaozheng studied the "Book of Songs" when he was very young, he drew a big cross on the poem named Fusu.

After he drew the fork, he came to him crying, saying that he wanted to wash the fork off.

Indeed, the root cause of the fall of the Qin Dynasty was that the land policy of "making the head of the Qiancheng self-realize" abandoned the distribution of land, retained the foundation of the Six Kingdoms, and buried the powder keg; Excessive conscription hastened the collapse of the Qin Dynasty; The delay in establishing an heir led to Hu Hai's conspiracy to ascend to the throne as a detonation line.

But sooner or later perishing and dying in the second are two different things, and "Qin may not have a hundred years of national fortune" and "three years after the death of the first emperor" are two different things.

Zhang Han pulled hundreds of thousands of Lishan prisoners and almost collapsed the rebels of the Six Kingdoms, but he met Xiang Yu.

If it weren't for Hu Hai's stupid fork, plus Meng Tian as a general, Prime Minister Li Si and Feng would have gone to logistics, and Xiang Yu would have taken the lead.

According to historical records, "Xiang Yu's soldiers are in the middle of the road, and Wang Li's army is short of food", which is the main reason why Xiang Yu was able to defeat hundreds of thousands of Qin troops in one fell swoop.

Look at Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty in his later years, he collapsed his household registration by one, and Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty could still renew his life for the Western Han Dynasty. Although the Qin Dynasty had internal and external troubles, if it was replaced by other Qin princes, it may not be impossible to produce a Qin Taizong Qin Xuan Emperor.

Even if the Qin Dynasty is still divided, there may still be an Emperor Guangwu of Qin.

Even if Ying Xiaozheng saw the shortcomings of the Qin Dynasty in his dream, he obviously did not think that the Qin Dynasty would collapse quickly.

What is the concept of three years? I have been fighting in South Korea for a year!

Zhu Xiang recalled that Ying Xiaozheng liked to cry when he encountered a little thing in his childhood, and his expression was reminiscent and regretful.

I miss Zheng'er so much, crying and chirping, I came to my uncle and father to hug and ask to touch.
