The start time of Daqin is reversed by 30 seconds

That night, Yingzheng stood on the Jingshui ramp, his feet on the muddy ground, feeling agitated.

The root of Qin's destruction of the six kingdoms is at hand.

He led the people to the top of Piaokou Mountain, which is the highest peak of Zhongshan Mountain. Looking up, the lights of the canyon and mountains are stretching, rushing to the south and east to the sky. If it weren't for the howling dust and mist that turned all of this into a boundless hazy mist, this is far greater than the sea of ​​lanterns in any military camp, and it is a magnificent night scene that has never been seen before.

The next day.

Ying Zheng came to Jingshui for the first meeting.

Dozens of officials gathered in the account!There are also some major water projects.

Zheng Guo took the lead and said: "Everyone, Your Majesty came to Jingshui in person. Today is the first meeting. As Datian Commander, I will make the current resolutions one by one to let His Majesty know. If you have any doubts, please discuss together."

Ying Zheng nodded his approval.

Su Jie was sitting on Yingzheng's side, and said to Zheng Guo: "From west to east, everyone, report the water affairs to the construction site."

Zheng Guo looked at a group of water officials with a hoarse voice, and said: "Everyone must speak truthfully. Is it worthwhile to finish the work before the autumn planting?"

A big man in the front row immediately stood up and said, "The Yunyang construction section, the Piaokou construction site should be fine."

Zheng Guo was displeased, and said, "Should?"

The big man was taken aback for a moment, and only then did he realize that this was the king's face, and he turned around and said, "The six counties in Wuhou's fiefdom will be completed within three months."

Zheng Guoqu is three hundred miles away.

Among them, six counties belong to Marquis Wu, so there is no problem.

Because there are three seedlings to help, but the other nine counties are not within its scope.

Everyone heard it immediately.

I can also see the clues from the faces of other water workers.

Immediately, other people reported the situation of their own construction site according to the facts, and sure enough, various difficulties appeared one by one.

Ying Zheng couldn't help but change his expression. It turned out that the big canal was more difficult than he imagined.

One person said: "Datian Order, my subordinates have told the truth that although Piaokou has been opened, the 400-mile main canal has just begun. According to the original deadline set by the Datian Order, when Piaokou is finished, the main canal will be opened in nine months. The branch canals and hair canals were opened in three months, and the construction was completed in a total of one year. Now all the main canals are scheduled to be opened in March. The hair canal, not to mention Doumen, Ducao, and the sand canal have to be carefully crafted, even if the canal is roughly formed, the amount of earthwork is larger than the Qinzhao Great Wall. For three months, without eating, drinking or sleeping, only It’s hard to be afraid, the key to water control lies in fine construction, although this subordinate’s words are hard to hear, they are true!”

Ying Zheng finished listening.

There is no displeasure at all, but appreciation in my heart.

The man looked at Ying Zheng and said, "Please forgive me, Your Majesty!"

Yingzheng encouraged: "Sir, what is the crime? Sir, tell the truth, this is a great achievement!"

When the man heard it, his heart was agitated.

No more panic.

Su Jie suddenly said with a dark face: "In the Kingdom of Zheng, the military order is like a mountain. The king's order has already been announced to all people in the world. Before the autumn planting, it will be the day when the canal will be completed. If it fails, the king will betray the hearts of the people in the world. Hope, Your Majesty's faith is now in your hands. If it is not difficult, why do you need your Majesty to camp Jingshui? As long as it works, it will be the same. No matter what method you use, I have only one sentence, the law cannot be discarded. , the people must not be hurt, and the trust must not be lost. If there is any doubt, the Marquis should be satisfied, and the rest of the matter should not be discussed, and you can think about it yourself."

Su Jie's words turned all the water workers' faces pale with fright.

In the eyes of everyone, Ying Zheng had a peaceful face, while Marquis Wu had a dark and scary face.

Even the officials in the court couldn't help being a little timid. It should be known that Qin Hou is usually very kind, but today he is so serious, which is rare.

But thinking about the relationship with the king's reputation, it is reasonable to say that Marquis Wu is so majestic.

however.

Su Jie's words undoubtedly set the tone, I don't care what you do, three months is three months.

Zheng Guo's subordinates suddenly looked embarrassed, thinking, Wuhou really doesn't know the difficulty of the big canal.

Su Jie saw that everyone fell silent.

The entire camp was suddenly silent, and a trace of tension could be smelled in the air.

But these water officials are all bloody people.

One of them blushed even more, stood up immediately, and said: "Marquis Wu doesn't know about water affairs, so I really can't make such a decision, otherwise, it will harm the people."

A word from this person.

The frightened Zheng Guo took out his wooden ruler and was about to hit him, so if Nima is going to die, don't drag me down! ! !

Baiguan also blushed and had a thick neck, so brave!

Su Jie stretched out his hand to stop Zheng Guo, and said coldly: "How dare you say that I am harming the people? If you can't say something, don't blame me for offending you."

The man calmed down slightly, his legs were a little trembling, and seeing Su Jie's cold and stern gaze, he gritted his teeth and said, "It's my subordinate who made a slip of the tongue, but what my subordinate said is also true, if that's the case, Daqu Not only will it fail, but it will make people suffer."

Ying Zheng said: "How do you suffer and harm the people? My widow allows you to say that if you say something and come out, I will never blame you."

Then the man said: "Although the mouth of the ladle can pass through water, the water intake and the ladle of the water outlet must be formed afterward. The project is not large, but it is all meticulous work. The whole section is 36 miles, and at least 2 people are needed. However, 460 three miles The main canal, plus 36 branch canals, plus [-] hair canals, who counts how long?"

Only then did Baiguan understand.

Yes, the Zhengguo Canal is only over 300 miles away.

But the others add up, how much, how many times is that three hundred miles?

The man continued: "There are more than 100 miles. The number of strong laborers who can go up the canal is calculated as 200 million round numbers. How many people are there on average for each mile of the canal? There are only more than 100 people. Building a canal is not digging a canal." , Digging a ditch is enough, the body of the ditch and the bottom of the ditch have to be worked, even if the Iron Man works day and night, it will take six months for a million people!"

"Your Majesty, Marquis Wu, I don't know that rivers and canals are made of clay, but they are even more delicate. The little official has not yet mentioned the craftsman's work of Doumen, aqueducts and ditches. A good one? No hit!"

"When it is done, it leaks everywhere, and breaches in all directions. Is it for the people or harm the people? Qin people can see it with their eyes."

The bill was full and everyone looked at each other, feeling embarrassed for a while, and no one said a word.

Chapter 699 The Master of the Qin People's Trapped Battle to the Death in the Main Canal

Suddenly, Ying Zheng smiled, walked up to the man, and patted the dirt on his body.

Let the man look terrified.

Ying Zheng smiled and said, "Old Ling, everyone is a clay figure, can you find a place for the widow and this dry servant to meet?"

Seeing that Ying Zheng didn't blame him, he even asked Jianshui.

The man couldn't help but feel relieved, and said: "The little official invited the king to Piaokou, which is the most refreshing."

Zheng Guo also agreed: "Yes, the water there is good."

Ying Zheng waved his hand and said, "Wherever you say, go there!"

After Ying Zheng finished speaking, he stepped out of the big tent with big strides. The courtiers exchanged glances and followed Ying Zheng out.

Piaokou Jiadi, is a crystal clear lake.

This is a large area of ​​water accumulated in the Piaokou Canyon after the construction of the water diversion in Zhongshan was completed. The water diversion still needs to be adjusted continuously, and the sides of the canyon and the bottom of the ditch also need to be inspected in many ways!

An hour later.

The man said: "Your Majesty, Lao Ling speaks truthfully. Will launching into the water disturb the leakage? Can you inspect it?"

Ying Zheng smiled and said, "I'm afraid that if this place is opened, tens of thousands of people will step on it, and nothing will leak out. It's amazing, it's very good."

It was approved by Ying Zheng.

The masons everywhere shouted excitedly.

Ying Zheng suddenly stepped on the edge of a clear river beach, and was about to take off his clothes and play in the water. Everyone was shocked, and Wang Wan was so frightened that he went to stop him.

Yingzheng said: "Water is for my own use, and I respect water with water. In my state of Qin, water is regarded as a virtue, so what can I do? All of you are together, and no one is allowed to stand here."

A group of veterans suddenly stood still.

They are old bones, and they still want to take off their clothes and play in the water, what a shame.

While thinking about it, Ying Zheng took off his clothes and jumped off.

Su Jie also jumped down.

The earthworkers burst out laughing, "Long live the king! Long live the king!!",

Li Si said quietly: "Everyone, the people of Qin respect water, besides, the king jumped!"

After speaking, Li Si also followed.

At this time, the people around were screaming like a tsunami, and the courtiers gritted their teeth, took off their coats, and jumped down.

……

About half an hour later, some soldiers had already prepared new clothes for a group of courtiers to put on.

Su Jie whispered something in Li Si's ear.

Li Si nodded, and said in an empty muddy field, "Your Majesty, please continue to discuss the construction period."

Ying Zheng said, "Good!"

At this time, there were still a group of hydraulic workers in the state of Zheng, who said: "The ministers have spoken bluntly, dare to ask the king to show you!"

Yingzheng looked at all the ministers and workers with wet hair, and said: "Today's business meeting, the county magistrate and craftsmen said that the widow already understands the current situation. It may be difficult to complete the autumn planting. However, the Datian Order has truthfully stated Knowing the situation of the construction site, I think it is the most important thing to rush to work, and my biggest worry is that the rush work is rough, and I will suffer from it. I want you to change the place to talk, just want you to relax, weigh more, and then re-negotiate. Be more sober."

In front of them, the officials, Zheng Guo and the water officials were all in awe.

Ying Zheng's demeanor was so light, and their calm demeanor impressed them all. In fact, at this time, everyone was standing in the wilderness wrapped in coarse cloth and discussing with each other.

It can be seen that Ying Zheng is powerful.

Ying Zheng's complexion suddenly changed, and he said in a low and generous voice: "Even so, I still want to say that although it is difficult to close the canal, the construction period is still expected to be ahead of schedule."

Ying Zheng's eyes swept over everyone's faces.

Sure enough, even those water workers did not speak out to refute at this time!

Yingzheng went on to say: "It's not that Yingzheng is so overjoyed that he insisted on changing the original construction period of Datianling. Therefore, it is because of the general trend and the real situation of Hequ. Let me talk about the real situation of Hequ first. The words of Zheng Tianling's subordinates are naturally reasonable, but there is only one worry. , afraid of rushing to work and ruining the canal! That is to say, as long as the construction can be carried out in accordance with Zheng Tian’s order, it’s not that it’s not allowed, but it’s a good thing, can anyone say it right?”

The masons looked at it one after another.

They all said: "Your Majesty makes a decision!"

Ying Zheng nodded, looked around, and said, "Let's talk about the general situation. Last year, there were three severe droughts in summer, autumn and winter. No one thought that there would be a severe drought in the beginning of spring this year. The drought in the beginning of spring, this summer, there is still no harvest in Guanzhong. It will be half a year. , There is no harvest for two materials, ten houses and nine empties for the common people in Guanzhong, God's things are unpredictable, relying on the sky, there is no hope, and if they are empty this year, there is no hope for three materials, no harvest for three materials, what is the scene in the hinterland of Qin? You can imagine."

"The widow heard that the drought in Huaibei of the Chu State has eased, and this year's summer harvest will be at least [-]% to [-]%. If the autumn seeds are hopeless, they will face a very dangerous situation. At that time, there will be a great famine in Guanzhong, and the common people will not be able to escape. In addition, the government treasury has less than half of the grain. If so, at that time, if the Shandong countries know the truth and attack Qin together, in all likelihood, our Qin State will face the greatest crisis of national subjugation in hundreds of years. I understand, but everyone said, at this moment, how should Qin State deal with it?"

although.

Ying Zheng can speak calmly, without the fierceness of the court at all, but everyone can hear that this is Ying Zheng's heartfelt voice, and it is also the difficulty of the Great Qin!

Hearing this, Mason's heart suddenly felt a kind of rather peaceful emotion.

Suddenly, a county magistrate came out and said to Yingzheng: "My lord, the heaven wants the Qin people to die, but the Qin people will not die. In the battle of floods and droughts, the [-] counties asked for orders. We will wait for the counties The people are strong and strong, and they are willing to form an army to break through the water and fight the canal to the death! If the project is rough and does not conform to Zheng Tian's laws and regulations, they are willing to die to apologize!!"

immediately.

The rest of the county magistrates shouted loudly: "The Qin people are trapped in the battle, fight to the death on the main canal!!!"

More than a dozen county magistrates stood up together, and the roar was endless, shaking the valley!

The county magistrates of the Qin State are not the county magistrates of later generations, and the county magistrates of later generations belong to the ninth rank.

The county magistrates of the Qin State belonged to the big officials.

The Qin law stipulates that in large counties with more than [-] households, the chief official is called the magistrate, and in small counties with less than [-] households, the chief official is called the county magistrate. The annual salary of the county magistrate is [-] shi, and the county magistrate is [-] shi.

Six hundred stones, in the Warring States Period, Qin and Han Dynasties, was the standard for determining the boundaries of a minister.

Above [-] shi is a minister, and below [-] shi is a permanent official.

The county magistrates and six hundred ministers were only like this in the Qin and Western Han Dynasties. Since then, the status of county magistrates has gradually declined from generation to generation.

At this time, more than a dozen ministers even said that they were willing to be the ones who fell into the battle.

How can Mason, Zheng Guo and others remain untouched.

How can the common people not be touched.

Yingzheng clapped his hands and said: "Okay, if I agree, I will call another 50 people. Before the autumn planting, we must break the embankment of Jingshui, look at the wildness of the four seas, and lay the foundation of Qin Wanshi! Everyone, can you fight with my heart? Of?"

"Jiu Jiu Lao Qin, we will go to the national crisis together, and we will never stop fighting without bleeding!"

Suddenly, an old man with white beard and hair came out with a cane, staggering!

The old man said to Ying Zheng: "Your Majesty, I will definitely build this canal for Qin before the autumn harvest. Your Majesty is relieved."

What the old man said sounded weak, but the meaning of the words was extremely decisive.
