The state of Qin is still far from reaching the point where it can kill through the Central Plains with an army at any time and anywhere.

Yingzheng continued: "The following countries are vying for supremacy today, and the growth and decline of national power is the root of prosperity and decline. What is national power? First, there is a large population, rich people, and prosperous fields. Second, the treasury is full, and the goods and food can withstand years of war The consumption of natural disasters and famine, the third is that the people are united in the government, and the whole country is united like arms and fingers, the fourth is that the laws and regulations are stable, and there is no turmoil and man-made disasters in the country, and the fifth is that the armor and soldiers are strong.

Envoys of Qi State, Envoys of Yan State, Envoys of Chu State and their subordinate officials.

They looked at King Qin one by one.

My heart is full of excitement.

"Wait, I don't seem to be from Qin!!"

They almost forgot their identities, thinking that the high-ranking king was the great king of their country.

but.

The old Qin people are all proud.

Because, the five points that Ying Zheng said are exactly the direction Qin Guo has been working hard for.

Ying Zheng said: "Every country also has its own way of strengthening the country, but since the ways of strengthening the country are different, they are like ice and coal, which cannot be used in the same tool. I, Qin, built this big canal. Maybe people in the world will say that I am very happy, but I think that , the power of the world is not strong enough to imitate, it is necessary to open up a road that has never existed in the world, and has never existed since ancient times, for our Great Qin and the people of Qin. The strength of the world, how to choose, the world can see, now, the big canal is about to release water, the few people think that this big canal of the Weishui River must be the beginning of the prosperity of our Qin country! The five powers of the country will definitely be achieved within ten years, yes So, on behalf of the ancient kings of the Qin Kingdom, I thank the people for their gift!"

Ying Zheng bowed deeply.

The people were all shaken by it.

The envoy of Qi State said in his heart; "The king of Qi is far inferior! Hey!!"

Not only them, but even the Shandong scholars had the same idea, and they were all glad that they had chosen to come to Qin.

In fact, not many people have actually met Ying Zheng.

But recently, King Qin made them feel how correct their choice was.

this moment.

Many people, many people have realized that Qin can really rule the world.

Create a unified empire that has never been seen in ancient times. Counting 200 years ago, in a large country, it will only be half the size of Qin. At that time, what kind of world will it be?

Ying Zheng led all the ministers and stood in formation on the podium.

Li Si said loudly: "The auspicious time has come, the King of Qin beat the drum to proclaim to heaven!"

Li Si's sonorous voice spread throughout the valley.

Yingzheng walked up to the general's stage, came to the drum stand, took the drumstick next to the drum stand, and said angrily: "Qin King Yingzheng prayed to heaven, diverted Jingshui into Luo, opened canals to irrigate the fields, the foundation of the people's livelihood in Qin Kingdom , God drought Qin, forced the people of Qin to fight for the road in the sky, fighting to the death with their flesh and blood, only then led the Jingshui to the east, the people of Qin did not fail the heaven, and the heaven would rather bear the Qin country? May God protect the Qin country and protect me Jingshui The torrential, long-flowing, continuous, fertile fields in Guanzhong, years of abundance, and now the Jingshui canal, according to the wishes of the people of the country, according to the general practice of the world, the name of the Jingshui Canal is Zhengguo Canal."

Ying Zheng hit the cowhide drum vigorously with the drumstick, and the rumbling sound shook the canyon.

Li Si then added: "The king of Qin named it, and Jingshui Canal is Zheng Guoqu!"

The people looked at each other.

Who is Zheng Guo, that is their Daejeon order.

These famous canals, which have been passed down through the ages, were named after the state of Zheng by the King of Qin. Even if the state of Zheng did not have a title, just one day would be enough to leave its name through the ages.

Zheng Guo's eyes filled with enthusiasm.

Li Huan beside him said with a smile: "Back then, my father said that the only person who could surpass him in the future is Zheng Guo. Unexpectedly, this word has become a prophecy today. Congratulations!!! Zheng Guo will be my water in the future. The family is a sage."

"Long live Zheng Guo! Long live Zheng Guoqu!!!"

The shouts suddenly drowned the high source of the valley.

Zheng Guo ran to the stage, knelt on the ground, tears filled his eyes, sobbed and choked up, and said: "What virtue can Zheng Guo do!!!"

Immediately, he knew that he could not hesitate at this time.

Finally, after being grateful, he stood up, holding the hoe in his hand.

He said to the common people: "Long live the King, Long live the Great Qin, and the Qin Kingdom forever!!!"

Ying Zheng nodded his approval.

The Shandong scholars also looked at Zheng Guo enviously.

A scholar of the Qi State said: "The character of the King of Qin is to reward merits and not deceive one's heart! Since ancient times, only Yao and Shun have had it. I never thought that we would be lucky enough to meet such a King of Qin today. If we were seen by other kings, I would be afraid It's hard."

"Won't you be deceitful when rewarding meritorious deeds? Brother, you just saw what you said."

And this time.

The evaluation of Shandong scholars has already spread.

Li Sidao: "Da Tian Ling please, the matter of boiling water must be presided over by Da Tian Ling!!!"

Zheng Guo said solemnly: "If there is even the slightest difference, I am willing to come and see you!"

After finishing speaking, he quickly led the members of the Shui family to the place where the ladle mouth enters the water not far away.

For a while.

Li Si's voice recovered, and he said, "Datian orders to open the canals and release the water!!!"

Shout out!

Under the scorching eyes of thousands of people, Zheng Guo propped up the water-exploring iron ruler, and walked slowly and heavily to the ladle's mouth step by step.

Ying Zheng also looked a little nervous.

The hydraulic workers in Chu State were also very nervous.

Because, there is a special point in this section. To enter the canals in Guanzhong, the water must flow to a high place.

This is a place that defies common sense.

Only Zheng Guo can do water engineering in the world, and the water flows to high places.

Even countless scholars in later generations are constantly studying how Zheng Guo did it.

If it can't be done, the nearly [-] Li Daqu will be in vain.

a long time!

Gates are opening everywhere.

"Water, over the mountain!!!"

A voice that appeared out of nowhere attracted everyone's attention.

At this time, I heard the sound of horns roaring from the top of the mountain, the sound of rumbling and thunder falling from the sky, the white mist in the Piaokou Canyon, a strong and fresh earthy smell, and the pavement. The water turned into a white dragon, poured down, rumbled into the mouth of the ladle, and then flowed along the mouth of the ladle to the wilderness. "

"Water flows to high places, it's unbelievable!!!"

The hydraulic workers in Chu State were frightened.

The water first flows into the top of the mountain, and then enters the ladle mouth from the top of the mountain, and is dividing into four fields! !

For half an hour, the entire Zhengguo Canal was filled with endless streams of Jingshui, Luoshui, and Weishui.

Three waters gather in one place.

Afterwards, orders came from all over the place.

Zheng Guo trembled suddenly, ran back desperately, knelt down to Ying Zheng and said: Your Majesty, the thunderstorms are as usual, and the Jingshui will come naturally! ! !

Chapter 7 Qin Guo Guanzhong must be the land of abundance

Zheng Guo's report means that there is no leakage from the main canal.

There is no problem with the special arrangement of the water flowing to high places. The main canal is not wrong, which makes everyone put down the stone in their hearts. is from here.

If the main canal makes a mistake, the canals in various places will be in vain.

At that time, the canal will be ruined at least, and the country will be transformed at the worst. After hearing Zheng Guo's report, the flush on Ying Zheng's face finally subsided.

Secretly said: God bless Qin.

Next, there will be reports from the main canals, Maoqu, branch canals, and Caomen.

The common people, Ying Zheng, and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty in Qin State all looked into the distance expectantly, waiting for the arrival of the masons stationed in more than a thousand branch canals of the Shui family!

At the end of noon.

People from various parties who checked the water and canals came one after another. Li Huan also listened to the reports of the hydraulic workers with excitement and apprehension. At this time, the last person arrived, and the result of his report was that the whole line was unbroken There are no cracks and no seepage, all the branch canals and Mao canals are well watered smoothly, and there is no failure in all counties.

Li Huan, trembling with a cane, came to the stage, and said in a trembling voice, "Report to Your Majesty!"

Everyone looked at Li Huan.

Ying Zheng asked urgently, "Brother, please tell me."

Li Huan said: "The 460-mile main canal of the Jingshui River Canal, the [-]-mile branch canal and the Maoqu canal are also solid and smooth.

Everyone, including Ying Zheng, was in an uproar and breathed a sigh of relief. This was undoubtedly the best result.

After a while, Ying Zheng finally asked: "Brother Li Huan, you have reported a big account. Based on your Shui family's advice, how much land will Zheng Guoqu irrigate?"

Yingzheng's words are undoubtedly the most concerned issues of officials and common people.

Because, before the Zhengguo Canal was built.

Su Jie said in the government and the public that once this canal is completed, it can produce one bell per mu!

The fifteen counties where Jingyang is located are all in the upper reaches of the Yellow River Basin.

In the middle reaches of the Yellow River Basin, generally, the yield per mu is one dendrobium and five dendrobiums, and in Longxi it is one dendrobium and eight dendrobiums. In the original Guanzhong section, the yield is only one dendrobium per mu, which is not even the average level of the Yellow River Basin. Moreover, this is still established. Under the condition of income throughout the year.

If there is a severe drought, it can be said that there will be no harvest at all.

The envoys of Qi State, Yan State, and Chu State all raised their ears in amazement at Ying Zheng's question. Chu State, the most fertile Huai land and Ying land, can produce two stones per mu at most, which is far beyond other countries. It can be achieved, otherwise how can Chu State have the most extensive land and the most people in the world?

The envoy of Chu State was sweating on his forehead, and the envoy of Qi State beside him asked, "How much does the envoy of Chu think Guanzhong will produce per mu in the future?"

The envoy of Chu swallowed his saliva and said, "This is almost the same as Yuhuai!"

Two stones, this is the highest yield per mu in the Yellow River Basin.

In the words of later generations, it is about fifty to sixty catties.

Compared with the original yield of [-] jin per mu in Guanzhong, it is already a world of difference.

And the Shui family, as people who work with water, undoubtedly know the paddy fields best.

Why Qin State can rely on the Zhengguo Canal to dominate the world, and the yield per mu is exaggerated is because of Jingshui. Scholars in later generations know that Jingshui has a name, three buckets of mud in one scoop!

And it's that kind of alkaline mud.

What kind of concept do you use to irrigate the field with Jingshui? Even if it was very dry and ferocious soil before, if you irrigate it with the unique alkaline muddy water of Jingshui, it won't take long for it to become fertile soil immediately.

And the hydraulic engineering of the Chu people naturally understands this truth.

Even if you poke Jingshui with your hands, you can tell what kind of mud the mud is, but the fact is that this fertile alkaline muddy water is richer than all the rivers in the entire Chu State.

Li Huan pleated his fingers and said loudly after a long time: "Zhengguoqu directly beneficiaries 23 counties, and indirect beneficiaries are all Qinchuan. There are more than 460 million acres of dry land in Guanzhong that are short of water, which can be fertile fields that can guarantee harvests during drought and floods. There are another 460 acres. There are more than 200 mu of saline-alkali flats, and these 60 million mu of saline-alkali land can become fertile land in at most two years! Not counting the original [-] million mu of land, the [-] million-plus mu of fertile land that will appear in the future can accommodate as many as [-] households In this way, the hinterland of Qin can still increase by at least [-] people after two years!"

Both Yingzheng and Baiguan took a breath.

A household in Qin State is counted as seven to eight people.

Moreover, this is still more than 200 million mu of fertile and fertile land.

As long as it passes through the alkaline mud of Jingshui, it can be realized, which is equal to the good land bestowed by God to benefit the people of Qin.

Li Huan continued: "Your Majesty, under ordinary circumstances, the rich and fertile soil in 23 counties can yield one bell per mu, which is unmatched in the world. The national treasury can accumulate at least 120 million shi every year. Five or six years later, Guanzhong will be as rich as Jia in the world."

Li Huan's words undoubtedly made the originally peaceful mountains and rivers noisy again, which could not be contained no matter what.

You know, what Li Huan was talking about was millet accumulated in the treasury.

That means, after you're done with it.

In other words, the Qin State simply couldn't finish it.

Li Huan's answer was almost the same as what Su Jie told Ying Zheng back then.

At this moment, Ying Zheng couldn't help but backed away in astonishment, Wang Wan, Li Si and the others couldn't hide their astonishment and excitement.

Everyone vaguely remembers that Marquis Wu said at the time that Zheng Guoqu's surplus food in one year could be used by Qin's 60 troops for two years and 120 million troops for one year.

However, it is impossible to run out of food, and it is necessary to store it to prevent disasters.

Therefore, it is usually used for 60 troops, one year for two years, two years for four years, five or six years down, which country in the world can be compared.

Yingzheng said: "What Yu Taifu said is exactly the same, Zheng Guoqu is a gift from God, it's amazing, it's amazing!"
