The days when I pretended to be a cat in the Forbidden City[Comprehensive]

In the 50th year of Qin Zhaowang, autumn.

In the history of China, and also in the history of the world, the first water conservancy management organization was formally established.At that time, this institution was still named under the internal history of the government of Guhuo, who was in charge of Daqin, and only existed as a prison.

The establishment of this department did not attract too much attention from the six countries, and even the stupid people of the six countries clapped their hands and praised Qin for self-destructing the Great Wall and consuming national power, and celebrated it with a whitewash.

But a few years later, with the pace of Qin's conquest, this group of water conservancy personnel who had accumulated rich experience in Qin brought their "black technology" equipment and arrived at the border of Qin State with extremely high speed and efficiency. In various places, when designing water conservancy, paving bridges and guiding canals for the local people for free to alleviate floods and droughts, the talents of the six countries discovered how big a game Qin had played.

These people stabilized the hearts of the local people and at the same time ensured the supply of food and grass for the Qin army. Moreover, because of the construction of water conservancy in the local area, they also controlled the local strong labor force to a certain extent and avoided civil uprisings.

What's more frightening is that every time the Qin army conquered a place, it brought huge benefits to the local people's livelihood. Some urban areas even surrendered the city as soon as the Qin army arrived. The most exaggerated thing is that the Qin army did not arrive to defend the city. The general was beheaded by the civil uprising, and the people voluntarily opened the city and surrendered to welcome the Qin general to settle in.

At that time, the six countries scolded the old Qin people for stealing, raping, playing tricks, making false propaganda, and being shameless, but they couldn't stop the people from turning their hearts to each other.

Of course, the Dushui Supervision, which has made "great military exploits" in later generations, is still a small department shrunk in a small building, and even the start-up fund is a pitiful five hundred gold. Besides the leader, there is only one staff member. A young supervisor and a prime minister.

Now the two are flipping through the bamboo slips and busy preparing for the exam questions.While the two were scratching their heads and worrying about how to come up with a question, their parent official came in with a little boy.

"Supervisor." The two hurriedly put down the bamboo slips in their hands and got up to bow to each other. Then their eyes drifted to Xiaowa who followed, and then fell back into their palms.Although he was a little puzzled as to why his parents had brought the child here, he didn't say anything.

Lu Buwei asked the two to sit down after returning the gift, then pointed to Lu An and said, "This is my son, very naughty, if there is any offense, please bear with me."

As a subordinate, of course, he said he didn't bother, and gave him a rainbow fart suit... Lu Xiaoan, who was praised as Zhong Lingyuxiu, cute and cute, was about to blush, and he couldn't help touching his little round face.

Lu Buwei poked Yang Yang's son indiscriminately, signaling him to get down to business.Then Lu An unfolded a prepared box, which contained a box of pottery, mountain houses, small bridges and other small objects.He took out these small clay toys of unknown function one by one, and took out a pot of clay, and smiled at the two of them.

For some reason, the two young officials suddenly felt the hairs on their backs explode.

She obviously smiles cutely, but I don’t know why, but it feels particularly scary! !It wasn't until half an hour later that they knew why they felt this way. This came from the candidates' natural fear of the teacher who would ask all kinds of strange questions.

After half a decade, the hydraulic engineering examination for the public finally officially started.When the test questions were announced, these hydraulic engineers from all over the world were stunned, because the test questions brought up by Qin State were a small model of a mountainous town. The woodlands, mountains, rivers, lakes and fields were all lifelike and extremely exquisite.

But the most eye-catching thing is the small wooden sticks painted with several colors and numbers written on the model. The small wooden sticks with the same appearance are also placed on everyone's desk.

The examiner first gave everyone a stick of incense time to observe the general terrain. After a stick of incense, the observation was over. The test question was to write down the areas prone to waterlogging on this map.Considering that the water worker may be illiterate, if you are illiterate, you only need to draw out the same color stick.

The answers were revealed on the spot, and just after everyone handed in the papers, the examiner poured a pot from the upper reaches of the river, and it was clear at a glance where it was intact and where it was washed away.

But when the next batch of candidates came prepared after hearing the news, they found that the examiners had changed to another set of topographic maps, and they showed a kind smile when they saw their arrogance and arrogance.

This question tests the ability to analyze pictures, and the second question is a free essay question.

The examinee will talk about how to manage the river land in Qin State, and the general master, the young master and Lu Buwei will participate in the evaluation.

In the management plan, the candidates must inform the factors that one is the construction period, the other is the manpower and material resources that need to be consumed, and the third is the insurable number of years after the completion of the project.Every word the examinee said was recorded by the clerk and put on record for future inquiries. If the project starts construction, these are reserved materials that need to be held legally responsible.

If someone deliberately conceals the report or talks about it in order to obtain the results, the crime is the same as deceiving the king.

If the three examiners are unable to confirm the results of the candidates, these materials can be judged by other professionals to maintain fairness.

The small official will hand it over to the examinee to check and supplement after finishing writing, uh...don't know Qin characters?Well, then there is no other way, you can only suffer from being uneducated.

The water workers of the Six Kingdoms were furious when they heard this sentence. They just didn't recognize Qin characters, so why are they uneducated?It is obvious that you, Qin, did not follow the trend of the world and were abandoned by the times, okay?But there is no reason for this. If you go to someone else's site to find a job, don't you have to suffer if you don't know other people's writing?

In desperation, they could only pray that the clerk understood what they said so that they would not make a mistake in recording, and at the same time secretly made up their minds that they must work hard to learn Qin characters after leaving the examination room for re-election.

In this called examination, which was actually a recruitment activity, two people's examination papers were so outstanding that it was difficult for the three examiners to judge whether they were good or bad, so they had to submit them to King Qin.

After reading the scroll, the King of Qin knew what the subordinates were thinking.

It is not difficult to judge the pros and cons of these two answers, but it is not easy to judge the feasibility.

One answer sheet said that the improvement of the Minshui area in Guanxian County is mainly to control the waterlogging of the Minshui River and take into account the role of irrigation.

The other is to renovate the plains in the Guanzhong area, connect the Jingshui River and the Luoshui River, mainly control drought, and also divert the Jing River to improve soil salinization in the Guanzhong Plain.

These two answer sheets were written in great detail, and it is not difficult to see that the two of them came prepared.

For the three examiners, there is no way to choose any one of them. One is right under their noses. If they can succeed, it will be a bumper harvest for the Guanzhong Plain.The other is Shu County, which is a little farther away but has always been like a moss attached to the skin, which makes people want to scratch it from time to time, but it is not easy to be cruel.

If these two plans appeared alone, they would definitely be overjoyed, but now there is only embarrassment left.

Even Yingji was very surprised to see the second answer sheet.

Frankly speaking, he was already prepared for the part of Shu County. After returning from Li Bing’s place that day, he took out the map of Shu County and looked at it again and again, and also took the local county annals to calculate and calculate. I know, but Ying Ji has actually started to prepare for the project in Shu County.

Unexpectedly, at this time came another plan that made his heart beat.

If both go hand in hand...

He raised his finger in a pensive posture, and said softly: "Go and invite the prime minister."

When Fan Ju heard Ying Ji asked if he could open two large-scale projects at the same time, his expression immediately became bitter.

He read the two proposals, and then said he was rude, and invited Zhi Su Neishi and the doctor Yushi, the three of them thought about it for a long time, and gave King Qin an affirmative answer.

It's not that the Qin State has a surplus of labor force, but because the governance of Guanxian County belongs to the Shu County. Putting it in place means letting it fend for itself.

The main reason is that the road to Shu is difficult, and it is difficult to enter and exit. If Zhang Yi hadn't come up with a stone cow plan to order Shu to open the way by himself, it would not be easy for the Qin army to enter Shu.Another reason is that it was difficult for Shu County to be educated after it returned to Qin, and the local people refused to accept it, so it was difficult for Qin and Shu to integrate.

The people of Shu are tough, the Wuzhu is powerful, and Qin has entered the rule of law, and it is absolutely impossible to allow another force in one place to be above the law, so the conflict between the two sides is extremely fierce.

Qin State had focused on looking east before, and was too lazy to take care of the south for the time being, and did not mobilize the population of Shu County to fill the army, so the manpower consumption of Shu County was not large.So if you want to control the water in Shu County, you can mobilize the local Shu people.

On the contrary, the construction of water canals in the Guanzhong area requires the use of Qin's local strength. In this way, it is not impossible to carry out two projects at the same time in terms of manpower and material resources, but they still do not recommend it, because according to the conventional standards of Qin's infrastructure construction, they are all built first. Use prisoners, then mobilize the army, then civilian service, and finally the people.

Among them, the mobilization of the army will inevitably touch the military. It was already very popular when there was no battle, but now it is mobilized to repair the fields... "I am afraid that Lord Wu An will be unhappy."

Fan Ju persuaded.

"Mr. Wu'an's widows will tell him." Yingji pondered, he still had some hesitation in his heart. What he was worried about was not any opposition from the military, but because a large number of soldiers might cause the frontier defense to be empty. He even instigated the separation of the Six Nations before, but it didn't hurt the root after all.

I'm afraid that the six countries will come back or meet another "Su Qin" and join forces to attack Qin.

Doing so is undoubtedly taking a risk, should we take it easy or...

"Can't you do half of it first?"

It was night, when he was taking a bath with his good grandson, Zhao Zheng tilted his head and suggested: "Do a little bit first, clear up a little bit, let's take a rest and exercise the army formation, and then do half of it?"

"Speaking of children." Ying Ji nodded him, "Soldier training cannot be interrupted for a day. If you mobilize them to repair canals, you will not be able to take care of the army. And you have to remember that you have to work hard to do water conservancy reform. If you stop in the middle Once you get down, it’s hard to continue.”

"Why?" Zhao Zheng was puzzled. He turned over in the tub and stuck his head out to look at the great-grandfather in the tub next door. "Isn't this something that the great-grandfather said?"

Ying Ji smiled, "You are still young, so you don't know the feeling of... spending gold and silver like running water."

"To build a project, the money spent is pouring out in buckets. Once it starts, the money spent can't be stopped. And it usually exceeds the expected plan by several times. If it continues, it's fine. If it's stopped Now, every number on that ledger is like stabbing great-grandfather in the heart."

"So great-grandfather didn't want to continue? But that's giving up halfway!" Zhao Zheng criticized him, "It's not good to give up halfway."

"You'll understand when you grow up!" Ying Ji stretched out his hand and pressed his little grandson into the water, and then scraped his upturned nose, "Giving up halfway is sometimes called timely stop loss. See what you think."

"Hmm..." Zhao Zheng thought for a while, then shook his head, "If it's Zheng'er, he will definitely finish it."

"Oh?"

"Zheng'er hates giving up halfway!" The child spit out a bunch of bubbles in the water, then twisted his little head, and said with some pride, "Brother said, we should set a big goal first when we do things. Then divide the big goal into several small goals, and then set a time to complete it little by little, and then move on to the next small goal after completion.”

"In this way, before you know it, the big goal will be accomplished! So you must not give up halfway. If you give up halfway, then all the previous efforts will be worthless."

"It's not about being sorry for others, but about being sorry for yourself."

Yingji became interested in what the child said. He adjusted his posture and looked at Xiaowa curiously, "Then Zhenger, have you ever done this before?"

"Yes!" Zhao Zheng counted with his fingers one by one, "Zheng'er's big goal is to become a powerful person, and the small goal is to read a book in a month and grow a knuckle in two months. Every six months, I have to learn something that I didn't know before, and every year I have to find someone I can learn from..."

Seeing the child shaking his head in a serious manner, Yingji was really surprised. He has been raising the child for half a year now, and he didn’t feel it if he didn’t say it before. Now that Zhao Zhengyi said it, he found out that the child turned out to be real. Follow this pace!

His great-grandson was only three years old, and he had already planned his life neatly, and he was moving forward step by step according to this plan.

After counting ten fingers, Zhao Zheng clasped his hands together and showed his fist to Yingji, "Great-grandfather, what do you think this is?"

"What?" Ying Ji's thoughts were interrupted, he glanced at the child's fist, "It's Zheng'er's little claw."

"That's not it!" Zhao Zheng waved his small fist up and down at him, and said seriously, "This is the target that has been held in the palm of his hand."

Yingji was stunned, and Zhao Zheng's expression was very serious, "Brother said, if you really follow your plan step by step, then the goal will definitely be held in the palm of your hand!"

After a pause, he added, "Don't ask about harvest, but ask about hard work. You must work hard first. As long as you work hard enough, you will definitely gain something."

... This is what the little boy would say. Yingji smiled and imitated his great-grandson: "Then the great-grandfather must first set a small goal."

He thought for a while, and said a little playfully: "For example, first integrate Qin into one."

"……don't know."

Ying Ji squeezed his little grandson's cheeks with his wet hands, then stood up from the water and motioned for the maid to come wash and get dressed.I don't know why Zhao Zheng looked at his grandfather and felt that he seemed to have changed a lot all of a sudden. What changed?Aye has become different from before?

But Zheng'er really likes this change!

He stared blankly at his grandfather's voice, his eyes became brighter and brighter.

Qin Wang Yingji looked sideways at his great-grandson in the bathtub after he was dressed, seeing his expression was confused, but there was a trace of longing in his eyes, and he said to himself that he is indeed my winner's descendant.He had a smile on his face, and his eyes met the bright eyes of his grandson. The old man's eyes were cloudy, but at the moment they were as sharp as a blade, "I will wait for you to grow up."

Zhao Zheng couldn't understand what he was saying, but others might not.

Ying Ji glanced lightly at the people around him. None of these people dared to meet his gaze with their heads lowered deeply. King Qin laughed lightly and walked away with his sleeves rolled up.

The next day at the Great Court Meeting, Qin Wang Yingji announced that two water workers who had done exceptionally well in the examination papers would enter Xianyang Palace to play a duet.

One of these two water workers is from South Korea, named Zheng Guo, and the other is from Shu County, and it is Li Bing.The two men answered all kinds of questions raised by Yu Chengong fluently.Faced with several rather harsh questions from the King of Qin, he answered carefully, without any major mistakes, obviously well prepared.

Yingji immediately sent a seal to announce that Li Bing was the prefect of Shu County, and he took the seal to control the water, so everything could be done cheaply; Zheng Guo was the order of the rivers and canals, and he was in charge of [-] laborers, and the water in Jingluo was connected.

The project in charge of Zheng Guo started construction immediately after the autumn harvest. Li Bing was allowed to postpone his departure until the beginning of spring next year because it took a lot of time to go to Shu County.

Although Li Bing said that there was no need for this, he wanted to arrive in Shu County as soon as possible to do exploration, but he was unreasonably forced to stay.

After staying, Li Bing, who had not yet taken office, and Zheng Guo, who was waiting for manpower, were naturally put under the supervision of the Dushui Supervisor. .

With a friendly smile, Lu Buwei said to the two hydraulic engineers: "The prison will be established, and many processes have not yet been planned. The project that the two are in charge of is the largest project since the construction of the prison. It also coincides with the reform of the official document format, which involves many I specially invited the two of you to come here to explain how to fill in the forms of various application reports from now on, and how to carry out pre-declaration for materials and personnel transfers."

Lu Buwei kindly unfolded a series of bamboo scrolls, "This is the "General Project Plan", my suggestion is to divide the project into blocks of three to five years, and complete the blocks periodically. Of course, this is what the king meant. The two of you should not be too tight with the time when filling out, of course, this is a personal suggestion."

"This is the "Engineering Plan Risk Assessment Form", which mainly writes the risks and accidents that may be encountered in the project and the pretreatment."

"This is the "Property Loss Declaration Form", which describes the loss of resources such as people, goods, and animals during the construction of this project."

"This is "Raw Materials..."..."

In this way, Lu Buwei listed seven or eight bamboo slips. He looked at the two hydraulic workers whose eyes were already a little slack with a smile on his face, but his tone was very serious. It’s also about national destiny.”

"This time Qin State is carrying out two projects at the same time, the king is under great pressure, and the surrounding countries are waiting to see me laugh at Qin State, you two!" Lu Buwei stretched out his hands and put them on the hands of the two hydraulic workers, his eyes Deep and powerful: "We have no retreat!"

Li Bing and Zheng Guo's eyes were fixed, and they were infected by this atmosphere and nodded heavily.

In the 51st year of King Qin Zhao, on January [-]st, Zhao Zheng's fourth birthday, the project named Zheng Guoqu by later generations was formally submitted to the higher authorities after a winter's exploration to announce the commencement of construction.

On the same day, Li Bing, the prefect of Shu County, was finally allowed by Qin Wang Yingji to leave Guanzhong for Shu in advance after writing several letters.

Since then, the era of King Qin, which was successively inherited by five generations of King Qin and dubbed the infrastructure madman by later generations, officially announced its beginning.
