I Breakthrough Again

Chapter 68

The palace lanterns in the palace of the princes hung high, the light was as bright as fire.

There were two carriages parked outside the house, and the walls were covered with dark car clothes.

In one of the carriages, two middle-aged men sat.

One person is fat, without white face, gorgeous clothes, and slightly puffy eyes, but his eyes are quite sharp.

This person is the envoy leader of the Korean envoy to Daqin, Yuhou Han Yi.

The other person has a square face, thin slit eyes, a short nose and long mid-person, thick lips, a short stature, and a healthy bronze complexion. He wears a brown robe with only a piece of cloth tied around his waist. He is a hydraulic worker. Zheng Guo.

This gentleman is a master of water conservancy engineering by studying mathematics and physics.

Han Yi is instructing and enlightening Zheng Guo: “Qin Chu Zhao Huaizhong is very important to the purpose of our trip. This person may be the master of the Great Qin Dynasty in the future.

If we can convince him and Lu Buwei, our trip will be more than half the success. ”

“I won’t get out of the car later. Gong Zheng must remember what he said before, and don’t make any mistakes. Just say that you are visiting by yourself, offering advice to the Qin people, and building water conservancy can help them solve their worries.

The location of the Qin Land lacks plains, which makes it difficult to cultivate farmland and lack of grain production.

Your suggestions must be very attractive to the people of Qin. ”

Zheng Guo worried: “If this plan is successful, it can indeed win a respite for our Koreans, but what should be done in a few years, if the Qin people really build water conservancy, when the construction is completed, my Koreans will be in danger, I am afraid that there will be no more in the world. People can stop Qin people from going out.”

Han Yi’s eyes were sharp, and he said angrily: “You said I don’t know if I wait, but if I don’t do this, the catastrophe will be in sight.”

He took a sigh of relief: “If the people of Qin are in the middle of the game, I will join Zhao Wei and strengthen myself. A few years later, there may not be no chance to stop the people of Qin from going out.”

Zheng Guo was silent for a long time before letting out a sigh.

Han Yi pondered: “The Qin Chu Zhao Huai is still young and has been in the state of Zhao for many years. It must be much easier to deal with than Lu Buwei. When you meet him, first give the gift you bring to your heart. Then take the opportunity to put forward suggestions for surrender.

We took the Qin Chu as a breakthrough, opened up the internal barriers of the Qin people, and implemented our plan. ”

In the history of China, the Koreans were forced by the great Qin soldiers and became increasingly depressed. When Han Huan was desperate, he adopted a so-called “tired Qin” strategy.

It was the famous water conservancy engineer Zheng Guo as a spy to enter the Qin Dynasty and lobbied to dig a large irrigation channel between Jingshui and Luoshui (Beiluoshui, Weishui tributary).

On the surface, it is possible to develop agriculture in the Qin State, but the real purpose is to consume the strength of the Qin State, to overturn its focus on water conservancy construction, so as to invade Korea flawlessly.

This strategy was successful to some extent.

Because the Qin people did accept Zheng Guo’s suggestion and chose to build China’s earliest large-scale water conservancy project, which took more than ten years to complete.

During the period, the Qin people put all their efforts into the country. At that time, it cost a lot of money, manpower, material resources, and land. It did provide a breathing space for the Koreans.

But on the other hand, the construction of Zheng Guoqu further strengthened the Qin State.

The completion of the Zhengguo Canal, which stretched for more than 300 miles, led Jingshui from the west to Luoshui in the east, turning the previously lacking water into fertile land for irrigation, and at the same time reducing the flooding on both sides of the Jingshui.

Its existence has made the Guanzhong area a great plain with thousands of miles of fertile fields and the main grain producing area of ​​the Qin State at that time. It laid a solid foundation for Qin to unify the six countries.

After that, the Kingdom of Qin flattened Korea and took the first step to unify the six countries.

The construction of Zheng Guoqu allowed the people of Qin to produce tens of thousands of hectares of fertile land, and they could collect an extra minute of grain per acre.

Calculated according to Qin’s measurement unit at the time, one bell is ten kettles, one kettle is equivalent to four districts, one district is equivalent to four beans, and one bean is equivalent to four liters.

In other words, the yield of one mu of land is 640 liters.

You know, at that time, the average yield per mu of land was only about one hundred liters, which is more than six times the Ascension. Under the fertile fields, the yield of grain would be quite an astonishing number.

Looking at the world, there is almost nowhere to compare.

Sufficient grain production, huge material reserves, and Guanzhong is no longer trapped by drought and floods, undoubtedly let Daqin have no worries for the future.

At this time, when Han Yi and Zheng Guo talked in a low voice in the car, with a few words of effort, there was a Korean accompanying deployment beside the frame, and they came to inform that Chu Qin would invite them.

Han Yi suppressed his voice and said, “Mr. Go, I’m here waiting for Mr.’s good news.”

Zheng Guo leaned forward, got out of the car, straightened his clothes, and walked into the Crown Prince’s Mansion with his head raised.

Following the steward who led the way, he went all the way, but his heart was shocked by the layout and luxurious style of the Crown Prince’s Mansion.

The Korean national strength is declining, and in comparison, it is much shabby and simple.

As Zheng went forward, his thoughts fluctuated, and there was an inexplicable feeling of carrying a heavy burden on his shoulders.

He walked all the way in the Prince’s Mansion, and suddenly heard the sound of silk and bamboo wind music from the front. The tune was beautiful, and the voice of a woman was singing a cappella, making people forget the vulgarity when listening carefully.

After a while, Zheng Guo felt his eyes lit up and he had come to the main hall of the Prince’s Mansion.

I saw a young man wearing a black robe, with a majestic and stern face, and a calm gaze, sitting in the chief of the hall.

Several people were sitting around him behind him, and at first glance they were the guards.

The scene in the hall is very lively. More than a dozen glamorous dancers from the Crown Prince’s Mansion are dancing, and the first woman is wearing a deep dress and colorful dress.

When Zheng Guo came in, the woman was singing:

“Sisi Kongfu, with six bridles in hand. The male betrayer, from the male to the hunter…”

The singing is tactful and the rhythm is strange.

Zhao Huaizhong is the chief and looks at the singing Yan Huansha. The girl knew that he wanted to listen to the tune, dressed up, melodious, singing with all her strength, it was really beautiful.

Zhao Huaizhong clapped his hands lightly and raised the corners of his mouth.

Yan Huansha, who had just finished singing, had a look in eyes, charming and charming, and her delicate face was slightly reddish. When she peeked at Zhao Huaizhong, she was enchanting.

Seeing Zheng Guo walking in, Zhao Huaizhong slowly got up: “I heard Mr. Zheng’s name early, and I will see him today.”

Zheng Guo was a little dazed. In Qin’s eyes, the status of Koreans was deteriorating. He was just a waterman, far from enough to let the Crown Prince of Qin hear his name.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he came in, the prince stood up to greet him.

Zhao Huaizhong waved the dancing girl back.

And Zheng Guo entered the table with a face of incomprehension, sitting in the middle of Zhao Huai’s head.

He was thinking about what he wanted to say, and Zhao Huaizhong had already taken the initiative to ask: “Sir, what is the purpose of coming here?”

Zheng Guo thought for a while, and then said the lines that Han Yi had designed in advance:

“I am here to visit the prince privately, and I do have something to tell.”

There was no change in expression on Zhao Huaizhong’s face, but the look in Zheng Guo’s eyes always gave Zheng Guo the illusion that the prince’s eyes seemed to reach people’s hearts and knew what he was going to say.

Zheng Guo was frightened by Zhao Huaizhong’s aura, suppressing the fluctuations in his heart and said:

“As far as I know, Qin is short of plain and fertile land, so the grain production is not rich, which greatly restricted the development of Daqin.”

Zhao Huaizhong smiled and said, “Mr. must have a good plan before coming to the door. Please speak up.”

Zheng Guo was stunned. This is what he was going to say next. The previous words were foreshadowing, and he was about to offer his plan, but he was robbed by Zhao Huaizhong, and he choked for a while before he said:

“Zheng Guo does have a policy to dedicate to the prince. If my policy can be implemented, it can alleviate Qin people’s worries about food shortages and make Qin stronger.”

Zhao Huaizhong gave birth to teasing thoughts of robbing the show, and continued: “Sir, wait, let me guess. Combining Mr.’s expertise in water conservancy, I guess Mr.’s plan must start with water conservancy, but I want to persuade me to be in Daqin. Build water conservancy projects and get more fertile land, thus making the country rich and strong?”

Zheng Guo was dumbfounded.

What’s the matter?

Before he opened his mouth, the prince said what he wanted to say.

Zheng Guo held back for a long time before spitting out two words: “Exactly.”

He gathered his thoughts together: “The prince is a great talent, what Zheng Guo wants to say is the construction of water conservancy, which can alleviate the shortage of food in Qin.”

Zhao Huaizhong: “I would like to hear the details.”

Zheng Guo’s spirit rejuvenated, and immediately began to explain in detail the benefits and specific measures of constructing water conservancy projects.

About half an hour later, Zheng Guo looked dizzy when he came out of the Crown Prince’s Mansion.

After he came out, he looked back at the Crown Prince’s Mansion behind him.

When meeting Zhao Huaizhong, the Crown Prince of the Qin Dynasty tonight, he always felt something was wrong.

Back on the car, waiting for Yuhou Han Yi, who hadn’t dared to show up in the car, couldn’t wait to ask: “Why did Zheng Gong get out so quickly? What’s the situation?

Could Chu Qin ever agree with the plan proposed by Mr. Qin? ”
