Chapter 17 The Peerless Water Worker: Li Bing
The State of Chu, Yunmengze, the vast lake water, the vast smoke and waves are extremely spectacular.
On the waterside, there was a thin middle-aged man standing. The man was about seven feet long and had a dark face, like a donkey egg. However, he was very strong and had a strong aura on his body.
His eyes were particularly bright and bright. He stared at Yunmengze, looked up at the vast smoke and waves, and sighed, "I missed me, Li Bing, who spent all my life, traveled all over the mountains and rivers of Chu. He wanted to govern the waters of Chu, but he had only ambitions and had no way to serve the country."
This man is the famous hydraulic worker: Li Bing!
Li Bing is a famous hydraulic worker in Chinese history. The Dujiangyan he built was built by later generations. More than two thousand years have passed, and Dujiangyan is still playing a huge role.
Before Li Bing built Dujiangyan, there were constant disasters in the Chengdu Plain, either floods or droughts, and there were few good weather and rain, which made Bashu a place with bitter cold and barren land.
It was not until Li Bing entered Sichuan, built Dujiangyan, and the Minjiang River was governed. Since then, the Chengdu Plain has become the "country of Heavenly Prefecture".
It can be said that Li Bing built the country of Tianfu with one hand. If Li Bing had not built Dujiangyan, the Chengdu Plain would not have been so rich.
Li Bing, who was born in the future, was not from Qin, but from Chu. He was interested in water control since he was a child, and had amazing talents. He learned from his own teachings and summarized many experiences and methods of water control and canal construction.
The State of Chu is located in the south, with many rivers, lakes and lakes in its territory. If managed well, the wealth of Chu will be far greater than that of Qin and become the most prosperous country in the world. For this reason, Li Bing ran around and shouted. He wanted Chu to manage water and build canals. Unfortunately, his journey was in vain and no one paid attention to him.
The Chu State's government was dominated by aristocratic families. These aristocratic families were busy fighting for power and profit, and were doing things to the death. Who would care about the national economy and people's livelihood? Who would use Li Bing?
Therefore, Li Bingkong had the technique of controlling water without the world, but he had no way to serve the country and was just troubled.
"The State of Chu is the country with the most rivers, lakes and lakes among the seven major warring countries. It is the richest place in the world. As a Chu native, I, Li Bing, wanted to make Chu the most prosperous and powerful country in the world. However, the State of Chu was confused, and no one knew me, Li Bing, and no one used me. I, Li Bing. I, was the second most miserable!" Li Bing was extremely distressed and sighed.
Qu Zi refers to the famous poet Qu Yuan. Not only did Qu Yuan write his poems well, but he was also concerned about the safety of Chu State. He was loyal and wanted to reform and strengthen his strength in Chu State. The result was that Qu died in the Miluo River, which made people sigh.
"Dad." At this moment, a fifteen-year-old boy rushed over with joy on his face.
"Erlang, why are you happy?" This young man is Li Bing's son, Li Erlang.
Although Li Erlang is not old, he also has the talent for water control and is deeply loved by Li Bing.
"Dad, it's time for you to stand out." Li Erlang shouted from afar.
"The day of making a comeback?" Li Bing shook his head and sighed: "Li Bing ran all his life just for an opportunity and an opportunity to control water. However, he has been in vain for forty years, but he still has no chance."
"Dad, this is a letter sent by Uncle Zheng..." Li Erlang was so happy that he shook a bundle of bamboo slips in his hand.
"Zheng Kingdom?" Li Bing was very surprised.
Zheng State was also an amazing hydraulic worker. He knew Li Bing very well and could get along with each other. Moreover, the two had the same situation, which can be said to be the same disease.
Zheng State was a Korean. He wanted to control water for South Korea and make South Korea richer. However, King Han Huanhui was not interested in this and only wanted to enjoy it. Therefore, Zheng State was so tired of water control, but there was no water to cure, which was exactly the same as Li Bing.
"Uncle Zheng said in the letter that Qin State issued an edict to seek talents..." Li Erlang was happy and his tone was a little high.
"Appointment for seeking talents?" Li Bing was surprised and said, "The Qin State has a lot of talents, Fan Sui, and Bai Qi in the martial arts. Why do you want to issue an imperial edict for seeking talents?"
Qin Xiaogong issued an edict to seek talents, recruiting Shang Yang, and Qin became stronger. This time, Qin issued another edict to seek talents. Is Qin addicted to issuing an edict to seek talents?
"... Recruiting water workers from all over the world." Just as Li Bing was surprised, Li Erlang continued.
"Recruiting water workers? You also need to seek talented edicts?" Li Bing was even more surprised.
During the Warring States Period, the trend of reform was prevalent, and there were many people who issued edicts for seeking talents. That was to recruit great talents who governed the country and the people. Who issued edicts for seeking talents to recruit water workers?
This was the first time in the Warring States Period in a century, and Li Bing would not be surprised.
"Take it seriously?" Li Bing still didn't believe it.
"Dad, look, this is written by Uncle Zheng himself." Li Erlang handed the bamboo slip in his hand to Li Bing.
Li Bing took it, spread it out in a few seconds, and when he saw it, his eyes widened: "What a water recruiter."
"Dad, Chu State doesn't need you. Let's go to Qin State, okay? Uncle Zheng is going too." Li Erlang was looking forward to it.
He knew very well that Li Bing wanted to manage the waters of Chu State, and he ran around and called for it, but he tried his best, but he was not used by Chu State.
"Well..." Li Bing pondered silently.
"Dad..." Li Erlang became anxious.
"Qin State issued an edict to recruit water workers with great courage. I, Li Bing, went to Qin to try it." Li Bing made a decision and said regretfully: "I didn't let Chu down, but Chu down, but I was really forbidden by me."
After a brief pause, he sighed and said, "Li Bing only knows why Shang Jun, Zhang Yi and Fan Sui entered Qin today!"
The reason why Shang Jun, Zhang Yi, Fan Sui and others entered Qin was because they were not valued in Shandong, and they had to enter Qin.
It is better not to be reused, and Xiang Fan Sui was almost killed by Wei Qi.
In this way, Li Bing and his son entered Qin.

The capital of Chu State, Ying State, and the palace of Chu State.
King Chu Kaoli frowned tightly, and was so anxious that he was spinning around, like an ant on a hot pan.
Chunshenjun stood aside, pursing his lips tightly, not daring to make any noise. The graceful young man's demeanor on weekdays disappeared, just like a turtle with his head shrank.
"Mr. Chunshen, you are the imperial court. Do you have a plan to protect the Great Chu?" King Kaoli of Chu stopped suddenly and asked at Chunshen.
Qin Yiren returned from his army, and Qin's national strength was greatly improved. Qin was about to advance eastward. Chu was unable to protect him, so it would be impossible to be worried about King Kaoli of Chu.
Because of this, he was worried every day and every night. His hair turned white, and he still couldn't think of a good way to protect the State of Chu.
"Your Majesty, I think there are two strategies available." Chunshen Jun was helpless and had to bite the bullet and said.
"Two strategies? There are so many, tell me quickly." When he heard this, King Kaoli of Chu was very pleased and said, "Mr. Chunshen, you are so talented. You are worthy of being the prime minister of the Great Chu. I have entrusted Daqin to you, but I did not disappoint me."
I kept admiring, as if Chunshen Jun was a great hero.
If King Kaoli of Chu praised him like this in ordinary days, Chunshen Jun's little tail would have been shaken long ago, and he would have been proud, but today there was no joy. Not only did he not say anything about joy, but he was still trembling and trembling.
"Your Majesty, I think you can cede land and pay the money. This is a strategy." Chunshen Jun had no choice but to offer a "scheme".
"Bah!" If Chunshen Jun offered such a suggestion in the past, King Kaoli of Chu would consider it even if he did not agree. Today, he didn't think about it and just spat hard, saying, "You are the prime minister of the Great Chu, and you have such a useless idea. Qin is going to destroy Chu. If you want to destroy Great Chu, how can you get gold?"
No matter how confused King Kaoli of Chu was, he understood that the current situation was very different. Qin wanted to destroy the Shandong countries and unify the world, and would not accept cede land and pay compensation.
"Then there is only one way to fight." Chunshen Jun certainly understood this, but he was named by King Kaoli, and had to speak. In fact, he had no choice but to make up for the numbers.
"War? How to fight? Can you beat the tiger and wolf Qin people?" King Kaoliu wished he could slap Chunshen Jun twice. If he could beat him, would he be anxious? If he could beat him, would he still not raise an army to avenge King Huai of Chu?
It is precisely because Chu could not defeat Qin, and he had to hurry up as Qin was about to destroy Chu. Chunshen Jun's words were just farting, which was even more stinky than farts.
"Your Majesty, happy events, great events." Just as King Kaoli of Chu was about to explode in the small universe, an eunuch was jogging in all the way and shouting from afar.
"Happy event? What a joy! I see that the Great Chu is about to perish. I am so happy!" King Kaoliui almost turned his nose apart when he heard this. The State of Chu was on the verge of destruction, and the eunuch came to report the good news. He was so angry that he wanted to chop the ignorant eunuch and feed the dog.
"Your Majesty, it's really a happy event." The eunuch was ignorant and still shouted: "The Qin army will not advance eastward, nor will it advance eastward."
"Don't you go east?" King Chu Kaoliui jumped high and looked in disbelief as if he was burning his butt.
"It's true. This is the Qin State's imperial edict to seek talent, and it's a recruitment of water workers from all over the world." The eunuch hurriedly put the bamboo slips in his hand like a flattering look and said, "Your Majesty will know."
"Take it seriously?" King Kaoli Chu was surprised and snatched the bamboo slips. He opened them and couldn't help but feel overjoyed. He threw the bamboo slips in his hand, raised his head to the sky, and laughed: "Haha! Heaven bless Great Chu! Heaven bless Great Chu!"
I thought to myself, if I had known that the Qin army would not advance eastward, I would have been worried.
After laughing, he said contemptuously: "A mere water craftsman is still called a virtuous person, and he also issued an edict to seek talent. Yingji, are you confused, are you?"
In his opinion, water workers are not worth much and have nothing to do with the word "动". Qin State actually issued an edict to seek talent and recruit water workers. Isn't this the foolish King Zhao of Qin? What else can it be?
"Come on! I'll hold a banquet, I want to have a great banquet for all the ministers!" Then, King Kaoli of Chu was happy and waved his right hand, as if commanding thousands of troops, which was extremely grand.

The capital of Wei State, Daliang, and the palace of Wei State.
King Anli of Wei was so anxious that he was just like King Kaoli of Chu because he was also worried about the Qin army's advance eastward.
If the Qin army advances eastward, the Wei State will definitely be in danger, because Wei State is located in the land of the Three Jins, and Qin State will be willing to get it. It would be strange if Wei State is destroyed.
Although King Anli of Wei was stunned, he could still understand this.
While he was worried, Prime Minister Xu Jia came in with a smile and congratulated him, saying that Qin would not advance eastward. King Anli of Wei did not believe it, and Xu Jia presented the Qin Dynasty's imperial edict to seek talent as if he was pleased. When King Anli of Wei saw it, he was overjoyed and immediately made two decisions: one was to have a banquet for the ministers and a grand banquet for seven days; the other was to send envoys to Qin to congratulate Qin.
