That's right, it's the construction of the Grand Canal, a grand canal that connects east and west. Because the western region is rich in mineral resources, but water resources are scarce, especially in Xiqi, although there were no major droughts before, but small droughts are continuous.

The meaning of Ying Si is that Di Xin needs to fund and help Xiqi build a Grand Canal from Fengfu in the east to Chengdi in the west, transport water from the east to the west, and help the western region solve the water source problem.

"Your Majesty, this matter must not be done!" Bigan felt bad when he heard Ying Si's words. "Xibohou's heart can be punished, our Yin country has been empty because of years of war, resulting in an empty treasury. Just now, I promised Xi Bohou to transfer food from the treasury to help with disaster relief, and I really don't have the strength to build a big canal that is useless for the country!"

"Yes, Brother Wang, what the general said is true, just now we decided to give Xiqi food for disaster relief, which is already benevolent and righteous. If we invest in the construction of the Grand Canal, the treasury of our Yin country will be emptied, and we will need to send a large number of slaves and people to consume a large amount of food, resulting in the situation that has just stabilized and become difficult for the people. In the future, if it is invaded by another country, it will no longer be possible to organize an army to resist. Wei Ziqi also hurriedly persuaded.

The Grand Canal planned by Xibohou will pass through the cemetery of the Lao Chen family for generations. If the Grand Canal is to be built, the ancestors of the old ministers, under the Nine Springs, will definitely not be at peace. If you have to build the Grand Canal, the old minister might as well crash to death on the pillar of the main hall and die!"

"Tell the king, this matter is absolutely impossible! How many fiefs does the Grand Canal have to pass through, and if there is a mansion on the ground that happens to be on the course of the Grand Canal, should the mansion be demolished? Moreover, the construction of the Grand Canal requires a lot of slaves and laborers, how can this be solved? Is it our state funding, or is it Xibohou's own expense? Xibohou's move is really a few days of fantasy and absurdity, and the king must not easily listen to his nonsense!" Another minister came out, in fact, his relationship with Xiqi was originally good, but the Grand Canal involved too many interests. Moreover, the construction of the Grand Canal requires all the ministers to sacrifice their own interests, but they will not gain the slightest, and they are naturally unwilling.

Ying Si couldn't help but bared his teeth, he also knew that the plan of the Grand Canal would do no harm to the Yin State, or to the Yin royal family. First of all, the completion of this Grand Canal requires a lot of manpower, material and financial resources. Second, the construction of this Grand Canal required passing through the fiefdoms of many ministers, and the ministers also had to donate slaves and demolish the mansions along the way for the construction of this Grand Canal. The ministers wanted to donate slaves for no reason, and demolished their mansions, and they didn't get half a penny in return, so they were naturally angry in their hearts. Third, even if it is built, it may have certain benefits to the Yin State, but the biggest beneficiary is Xiqi. If the Grand Canal is fully completed, Xiqi's military strength will quadruple, grain production will increase fivefold, and the scourge of drought will be completely solved. This is definitely a tiger for the Qi royal family, once Xiqi is strong, Bao Buqi will make trouble for the royal family, and even go further, rebel!

That's right, this Grand Canal strategy was offered by Lu Shang. It was to take advantage of the opportunity of the Grand Canal to let Di Xin contribute capital and consume the national strength of Yin, which caused the dissatisfaction of many ministers in the court. When the Grand Canal is completed, the water source problem is solved, the grain harvest is abundant, and the military rations are in place, waiting for the time to come, they will destroy the Yin State in one go.

However, as soon as the plan began, Ying Si encountered difficulties like a god. The reason for drought alone could not convince the ministers of the DPRK and the Central People's Republic of China, and Emperor Xin spent huge sums of money to build the Grand Canal! After all, who would want to be the wrongdoer for such a thankless task?

But fortunately, Lu Shang had already anticipated this situation, and he had already prepared a countermeasure.

"Look, my lord. Ying Si stepped forward quickly, took out a jade seal from his arms, and respectfully presented it to Di Xin.

Di Xin saw that this piece of jade seal was engraved by Lantian jade, its radius was four inches, and the five dragons were handed over to New York, and the front was engraved with the eight seal characters of "Ordered by the sky, both longevity and Yongchang", which was by no means a mortal thing. I can't help but feel a little happy. "I don't know, what does Xibohou offer?"

"Tell the king, this is a few days ago, auspicious rain fell from the sky, and it fell on the earth. When His Majesty obtained it, he knew that it was an extraordinary product, and only a king could deserve it. Probably because God knows that the king is benevolent and sympathetic to the people, so he hereby sends down the reward. So, the subordinates left Xiqi day and night, just to present the jade seal to the king. "You should think about the joy in your heart, Lu Shang is worthy of being Lu Shang, knowing that the emperor and the generals like this kind of false name of auspiciousness from the sky. However, this jade seal is indeed natural, without a trace of polishing. It is said that this jade seal was given to Lu Shang by Lu Shang's master and asked him to give it to someone who was destined. But since Lu Shang planned to support Xibo Hou Jisheng to become the lord of the country, this sacrifice was not a big deal. Just let Di Xin be the custodian for a period of time, and then take it back after overthrowing his rule in the future.

As long as Di Xin accepted the jade seal, he had no reason to refuse to build the Grand Canal again. In exchange for a broken stone, the Grand Canal, which was built with countless manpower, material and financial resources, and the position of the future lord of the country, this transaction does not feel a loss no matter how you look at it.

Di Xin couldn't hold back his temper, returned the jade seal to Ying Si, and said, "Xibohou, you take the jade seal back first, as for the matter of the Grand Canal, I have to think about it for a few days." In a few days, I will personally go to Xiqi to inspect the situation of the people. ”

Di Xin's reaction surprised Ying Si, he never expected that Di Xin would be able to resist the temptation of the jade seal. You must know that throughout the ages, how many heroes and heroes have died because of this false name.

However, Di Xin had said this, and Ying Si couldn't say anything, so he had to take back the jade seal. "Yes, King. ”

"King Shengming!"

Seeing that the plan of the Grand Canal had been shelved, and that their fiefdoms would not be passive, the other courtiers were overjoyed, and thanked them again and again, praising Di Xin's wisdom and martial arts, completely forgetting that they had repeatedly insulted Di Xin behind his back.

And this scene of the dream slowly dissipated after the ministers retreated.

"Have you had another dream?" Ying Siliang in the inn opened his eyes, he had already spent many dreams, and he also had some understanding of the dream trial.

"The previous dream trials were all played with different identities, but the conditions for surviving the dream were the same, that is, to meet the needs of the environment in which the person was located. Of course, what they do must be in line with their temperament. Otherwise, they will be expelled directly from the dream trial. ”

"In the first few scenes, I am the prince of Yin, the lord of the country, Emperor Xin, and I need to subdue my subordinates and lead the soldiers of Yin to defeat the orcs who invade the border. ”

"In the next few scenes, I am Xibohou Jisheng, because the predecessor Xibohou was forced to die, I had to secretly plan a rebellion. ”

"Now it seems that these things have probably happened in history. According to the clues in the dream, Xiqi should have destroyed the Yin State and established a new country. And the country of Qi where I am now is probably the country founded by the descendants of Naxiqi. But is this a coincidence, or is it a systematic arrangement?"

Ying thought about it for a while, but still didn't have a clue, so he stopped thinking about it and began to explore the changes in his body.

"It's already the Meridian Beginner Level, the speed of this cultivation is really terrifying!" Ying Si checked his cultivation and found that the degree of refinement of this cultivation far exceeded before, which shocked his heart. "If it goes on like this, I still cultivate a fart and complete this dream trial copy every day, and my strength can be improved to the first in the world. ”

Just when Ying Si was rejoicing in the improvement of cultivation, a team of people had already arrived in Gaojing City.

"Is this the Gaojing City of Naqi Country?" Li Mochou said excitedly.

Jiang Fengmian was not so excited, he had traveled all over the world, and he had never seen anywhere, let alone this small Gaojing City?" "That's right, this is Gaojing City, the capital of Qi Kingdom." It's a pity that I haven't been here for so many years, but I didn't expect Gaojing City to be like this, without the slightest progress. ”

"Jiang Fengmian's predecessors are really, such a magnificent city, they are not even satisfied. Li Mochou has been following his master all the year round and farming in the mountains, and he feels that this Gaojing City is already the most prosperous city he has ever seen.

"Next, we will go to the royal palace in Gaojing and meet the lord of Qi country. Jiang Zixuan was neither fuss nor attracted by mundane things such as wooden horses and windmills on the street, he had his own plans. "The Sheephorn Demon has been confirmed, and he is hiding in Gaojing City, we need to inform the Lord of Qi Kingdom, and we need him to send someone to cooperate with us to capture this demon thief. ”

Jiang Fengmian looked at Jiang Zixuan with satisfaction, and said with emotion: "Brother God Hunt, Zixuan really lived up to your high expectations, the first time he arrested the Demon Dao monk, he had his own plans and intentions. The most rare thing is that he advances and retreats in a certain way and understands human accidents. ”

Jiang Zixuan is going to take people to the Gaojing Palace to meet the decision of the lord of Qi State, which can be called a great act of kindness. Because even if you are famous in southern Xinjiang and enter the territory of Qi country, you will be treated equally, let alone the capital of Qi? If you do not notify the lord of Qi before arresting the Sheephorn Demon, not only will it cause some unforeseen damage, but you may also be regarded as an accomplice of the Sheephorn Demon by the royal capital guards in Gaojing, so it will not be explained.

But if you visit beforehand, the situation is different, and doing so not only takes care of the face of the lord of Qi country. Moreover, if you tell us in advance, you can get help from the lord of Qi Province. After all, there are fierce and brutal demonic monks like the Sheephorn Demon in his royal capital, and no matter who it is, he will be restless and unable to sleep. The lord of Qi will not have any reason to refuse, and he will be very welcome.

"Let's go, go to the Gaojing Palace!" Jiang Zixuan led everyone and walked in the direction of the Qi Palace.
