"Sir, you have mastered Zheng Guoqu. Your student Shi Lu is so good at you! Gao, I guess you are extraordinary." Fan Sui has read a different charm from Zheng Guo's words.

Zheng State is a peerless water craftsman, and he has no choice but to do anything, but his student Shi Lu has his own way. I can imagine how great this Shi Lu is.

Everyone was amazed, their eyes were bright, and they focused on Shi Lu.

Although Shi Lu is young, he is only over 20 years old, he is calm and calm and does not seem to be strange. You should know that all the people here are extraordinary people. As long as they stamp their feet, they will lose their temper. If they change someone, they will either be excited or frightened. Shi Lu is extremely calm and extraordinary.

"Okay!" Fan Sui and the others praised each other in unison.

"Shi Lu, you said." Qin Yiren of course knew that the design and builder of this Lingqu canal were extraordinary, otherwise he would not have built it.

"No." Shi Luying said and began to state it.

"Shi Lu and his teacher are ordered by His Majesty to investigate the connection between the Xiang River and the Li River. After on-site investigation, they have some ideas. If it is inappropriate, please give your Majesty the advice." Shi Lu was neither humble nor arrogant. He first gave an opening remark, and then got to the point, saying: "Xiang River is high and Li River is low. If it is to connect the two waters, it is not easy. However, there is no way. In Shi Lu's opinion, you can surround the mountain to slow down the water flow and navigate."

In history, the Qin State built a total of three famous water conservancy projects, Dujiangyan, Zhengguo Canal and Lingqu. Among these three water conservancy projects, the most famous one is Zhengguo Canal. Because this incident caused the "exit of the guest" storm, Qin Shihuang almost made the most serious mistake. This is also a good topic discussed in later generations, and it is famous for being exposing it.

However, to be fair, among these three major water conservancy projects, Lingqu should be the one with the highest technical content.

The design idea of ​​Lingqu is itself a strange thing. Just like Xiupanshan Highway, building canals on the mountain to surround it and slow down the water flow rate, so as to achieve the purpose of navigation.

"Good!" Everyone claimed to be kind, which was indeed a good idea that made people feel enlightened.

"Sir, although the idea is good, there is a dilemma to open navigation. First, the Hunan River has a fluctuation of less than ten miles, which is inconvenient for navigation. Second, when the dry season is reached, it is difficult to open navigation when there is no water available." Wang Jian raised his eyebrows and asked two questions.

Qin Yiren was surprised when he fell on Wang Jian. Wang Jian's insight was really amazing, and he knew it.

Even if the Xiang River is hundreds of meters higher than the Li River, it will not be able to navigate. To solve this problem, the canal must be built like a winding mountain road.

However, the Xiang River has a four-kilometer-long drop that is too large to be navigable. Wang Jian’s first problem is to address this point.

"This is not difficult to handle."

Shi Lu was full of confidence and said, "The Xiang River cannot be navigated within ten miles, but it can change the river channel, just need to be repaired in this way."

While saying that Shi Lu drew a ", shape.

The four kilometers of Xiangshui itself are inconvenient to navigate, and it was solved by Shi Lu. This is an amazing idea.

"Miscellaneous!" Wang Jian patted his forehead lightly with his right hand and praised him loudly.

"It's really wonderful - think about it." Fan Sui and the others were amazed.

"As for the inconvenient navigation during the dry season, you can build a dam to store water until the dry season releases water to adjust the water surface." Shi Lu continued.

When building a dam, you have to use a ship lock. This is the world's first and the earliest ship lock in the world. It can well adjust the water level and make the Lingqu navigable all year round.

"Wonderful! Wonderful-!" A sound of praise sounded, from the mouths of everyone, each with admiration on his face.

Even Qin Yiren couldn't help but admire him. Although Qin Yiren had long known that Lingqu was Shi Lu's masterpiece, he was still amazed when he heard Shi Lu say his ideas with his own ears.

Our ancestors had great wisdom and created many outstanding projects, and Lingqu was just one of them.

"If you want to build a canal, you have to send an army into Lingnan first and capture Lishui." Wang Jian's eyes were filled with light.

"The general decided to seize this matter." Qin Yiren was very capable of delegating power and handed over this matter to Wang Jian.

Wang Jian was right. If you want to build the spiritual canal, you have to capture Guilin first and then repair it to ensure safety.

"No." Wang Jian happily accepted the order.

The Ling Canal connects the Xiang River and the Li River, which actually connects the Yangtze River and the Pearl River together. Because the Xiang River connects the Yangtze River and the Li River connects the Pearl River, these two major water systems are navigated because of a Ling Canal, which can greatly promote the transportation between the Central Plains and South China and promote the economic development of the South China.

"As long as this canal is built, logistics and supplies will no longer be a problem. It is inevitable to pacify Lingnan. Li Mu, what are your plans for defeating the Huns?" Qin Yiren rushed to Li Mu.

"The king, I think that if I want to completely solve the problem of the Huns, I will have to send troops from two groups, attack the Shanyu royal court, and attack the Huns' ancestor worship holy land, Langjuxu Mountain." Li Mu knew the Huns very well and talked freely, saying: "In the current situation, the Qin Dynasty can only send troops all the way, starting from Shuofang City built in the Hetao land, which is difficult to give the Huns a fatal blow. I mean, if I want to open up another way of sending troops, I have to send troops to Liaodong, wipe out the remnants of Yan State, and follow the trend of Hu. Only in this way can I send troops from two groups."

The northern part of the Mobei region is very large. If we send troops all the way, it is not a problem to defeat the Huns, and it is difficult to completely solve the Huns problem. Therefore, sending troops from both directions is an inevitable move.

In history, the "Decisive Battle in the Mobei" initiated by Emperor Wu of Han was to divide the Han army into two, Wei Qing and Huo Qubing each led an army, crossing the desert and directly hitting the Huns' nests, which made the Huns unable to recover and eventually perish. If the Han Dynasty sent troops all the way, victory would not be a problem, but the Huns could not be destroyed.

Li Mu's words hit the nail on the head, Qin Yiren highly praised it and said, "What Li Mu said is very reasonable. It is urgent to send troops to Liaodong and defeat Donghu. Li Mu, you can send troops at the right time."

"No." Li Mu happily accepted the order.

Although the Donghu had to disturb the border from time to time, it did not pose a great threat to China. However, if the Donghu did not break the Donghu, it would be difficult to resolve the Huns, because the Donghu would threaten the Qin army's supply line and had to break it first.

After discussing some details, Wang Jian and Li Mu said goodbye, left Xianyang, and went to prepare to pacify Baiyue and send troops to Liaodong.

Qin Yiren was busy dealing with government affairs again. Time flies. Soon, Mrs. Qing comes to report that the merchants whom Mrs. Qing comes to invite have arrived in Xianyang.

Mrs. Qing is the largest merchant in the world and has a high prestige among merchants. She came to invite them, and these merchants had to come, and thousands of merchants from all sizes came to Xianyang.

Accompanied by Mrs. Qing, Qin Yiren led civil officials such as Fan Sui, Li Si, Cai Ze, Wang Wan, and Fan Zeng to the court hall and looked around. They saw that they were all in luxury and were full of luxury.

Merchants don’t have much money, but they don’t have the smell of money.

Moreover, these merchants looked at Qin Yiren with a nervous look on their faces, like pigs entering a slaughterhouse.

The merchant greeted Qin Yiren, and Qin Yiren waved his hand and asked them to be spared.

Then, Qin Yiren smiled and said, "I saw this and you are all very nervous. Are you wondering if I am eyeing your wallet?"

These merchants are just worried about this. If Qin Yiren takes their money bags, they only need Qin Yiren to throw them with their will. Wouldn't they give the money obediently?

After hearing Qin Yiren's words, they became even more nervous. Some people's faces turned pale and their bodies were trembling, thinking they were finished.

"You are just kind of contentment. I will not do such a thing as fishing in the waters." Qin Yiren smiled and said, "I have invited you to do a big deal with you."

"Your Majesty, are you joking? You are the emperor, how could you make a deal with us merchants?" No one spoke, and Yidun had to speak.

Now the person who is in charge of Yidun is the son of Lao Yidun, who is about forty years old and is very smart.

"Yes, yes, Your Majesty is joking." They would not believe that Qin Yiren would have done business with them, they must have cheated them.

Qin Yiren of course knew the thoughts of the merchants, and smiled and said, "What I said is true, you don't need to worry. You all know that I have revised the corvee service law. Those who perform labor service shall not exceed a hundred miles from their homes. Those who exceed their homes will be filled with money and grain. In this way, it will be convenient for the people of the country, but without the civilians, it will be difficult to build roads and water conservancy. How can this be solved?"

The amendment of the corvee service law has spread all over the world. People and the people of the country applauded and agreed with it. In the future, they would no longer have to go to far away places to perform corvee service. They just need to pay some money and food. They can completely guard their own homes. Who can be unhappy?

However, once this method was released, it reduced the number of civilians and many projects could not be done. Qin Yiren's words were very interesting, and these merchants were no exception. They all opened their eyes wide and looked at Qin Yiren.

"I just thought of you merchants." Qin Yiren said straight, "I paid the money and grain, and you summoned people to do this together. Of course, you will get the profit you want from it."

"Your Majesty, take it seriously?" The merchants are profitable, and the result is true. They were still worried and scared the moment before. When they heard that there were profits, they all looked forward to it.

"It's true." Qin Yiren pointed his head and said to Cai Ze, "Put it up."

Cai Ze responded and asked several servants to bring a huge map. This is the mountain and river map of the Qin Dynasty. The entire Qin Dynasty was on it, and the most obvious one was the four red lines.

"These four red lines are four straight roads, which are the first batch of projects of the Qin Dynasty. The first straight road starts from Xianyang and all the way to Jiuyuan; the second straight road also starts from Xianyang and directly leads to Linzi; the third straight road starts from Linzi to Jiuyuan; the fourth straight road starts from Jiuyuan to Changsha." Qin Yiren pointed to the map and explained to the merchants, saying: "With these four straight roads, they can run across the east, west, south and north, and can flow around goods and exchanges. Therefore, these four straight roads are compulsory."

The merchants' eyes were full of heat and were all excited.

These four straight road projects are huge. If you can get them, you will make a lot of profit. It is much more than buying at a low price. Who can not be moved?
