Chapter 1156 Lying Down to Win [Please Subscribe*Please Pass the Monthly Ticket]

Yan Yan nodded. This was within his expectations.

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, wars broke out frequently throughout the country, but Bashu was far away from the war zones, nor was it a battleground for later military strategists, hence the reputation of the Land of Abundance.

Under such circumstances, a rapid population growth is inevitable.

However, as the Qin State launched large-scale conscriptions time and time again, the people of Bashu and Zhu naturally found a way to deal with it and chose to hide their population.

After the country was unified and the war subsided, these people naturally wanted to obtain household registration, so they appeared.

But no one expected that they would jump from the rear of the war to the front line.

"In fact, conquering Yelang and Dian Kingdoms will not benefit Qin in any way. All they want is to open up a road from Qin to Kongque." An Qisheng said thoughtfully.

The Yelang and Dian Kingdoms, with their rugged mountain roads, were places that brought more harm than good to the Qin State. They had to conquer these places and govern them. They couldn't expect to have another Li Bing and create another land of abundance.

"You forgot that Qin lost Li Bing and his son, but got that guy from Zheng!" Yan Yan knew what they were thinking.

An Qisheng, Li Ren and others were all stunned.

Yes, the Qin State lost Li Bing and his son, but it had Zheng Guo, the master of water conservancy.

Zheng State had a brilliant record in war. The Zhengguo Canal in Guanzhong and the Hetao in Bingzhou were both built by Zheng State.

If the Qin State had sent Zheng to the Kingdom of Yelang and Dian, it might not be impossible to create another land of abundance.

"Without hydrological data, even the State of Zheng would be helpless!" Li Ren shook his head.

Zhengguo Canal and Hetao were built by Zheng State because of the hydrological conditions provided by Qin State and Bingzhou.

However, Yelang and Dian Kingdoms have been barren lands since ancient times, and no one has ever been there, let alone hydrological data.

An Qisheng frowned and looked at Yan Yan. He thought of someone.

Seeing An Qisheng looking at him, Yan Yan instantly thought of someone.

"Wei Bao!" Yan Yan and An Qisheng said in unison.

No one expected that a playboy who used to be a roaming playboy would now play such an important role in Qin's conquest of Yelang and Dian Kingdoms.

Wei Bao even dared to explore the source of the Yangtze River and the Yellow River, so what were the big rivers in Yelang and Dian Kingdoms?

What surprised Yan Yan even more was that the source of the Yellow River and the Yangtze River was in the same place, which was later named Sanjiangyuan.

It happens to be the source of the Yellow River, the Yangtze River and the Lancang River that flows through the Yelang and Dian Kingdoms.

If Wei Bao found the source of the Three Rivers and then went south along the Lancang River, then...

"Everything is destined. Wei Bao's luck is not something God has given him. It's something God has chewed up and stuffed into his mouth!" Yan Yan sighed in his heart.

People are so irritating.

They worked so hard to make a name for themselves.

Where is Wei Bao?
Born into a wealthy family, with the protection of his father's legacy and two amazing brothers working hard, he was planning to give up.

As a result, his two elder brothers showed him the way to start his own business and arranged everything for him.

Now he has gained the title of marquis or even the king of Qin for free.

“How many people struggle all their lives but fail to reach the Royal City, while some are born in the Royal City!” An Qisheng also lamented Wei Bao’s luck.

If nothing unexpected happens, and there won't be any unexpected events, Wei Bao will definitely be valued by the Qin State.

Even if Qin did not expect such a person, given Wei Ju's status in Qin, he would definitely send someone to inform Wei Bao.

So Wei Bao is just a winner without any effort.

While traveling and having fun, he was inexplicably enlisted in the temple and granted the title of king.

It was really like he had both fame and fortune without doing anything. In the past, Wei Bao's trips could be said to be privately sponsored by Yan Yan and Wei Ju.

Now that the Qin State was going to conquer Yelang and Dian Kingdoms and wanted to investigate the local hydrological climate, Wei Bao and his team were undoubtedly the first choice, and private sponsorship became Qin State sponsorship.

"Young Master Bao!" Li Ren also reacted.

For a moment, the hall fell into silence.

Everyone is envious and jealous.

They all have gone through many thorns along the way, and if they are not careful, they will be doomed and die, but look at them...

"I don't want to talk about it anymore. The body is a bit cold!" Li Ren touched his bald head and felt even colder.

"The gap between people can be so huge!" Han Fei also sighed, feeling very upset.

"So, congratulations to the Qin State for gaining several more counties from Yelang and King of Dian!" Yan Yan didn't want to say anything more.

After the Qin State conquered Yelang and Dian Kingdoms, it would inevitably set up more counties. If nothing unexpected happened, there should be at least four or five or six counties, including Yelang County, Xikang County, Qian County, and Dian County.

In addition, there are Guilin, Xiangjun, Nanhai and other counties of Baiyue.

This means that during this southern expedition, Qin suddenly gained nearly ten more counties, which is equivalent to one-third of the existing counties in Qin.

"Wait, it has nothing to do with us anyway!" Yan Yan sighed.

He said he would not leave the Bingzhou royal capital, which meant he would never leave.

So all we can do is wait quietly for the battle report from Qin.

If nothing unexpected happens, Ying Zheng will definitely have someone reveal the information to the Military Control Commission as soon as possible so that he can know.

"Go to bed. You are worried about the failure of Qin State, but you don't want to see it prosper!" Yan Yan ended this small court meeting.

An Qisheng, Li Ren and others bowed, stood up and left.

It's like two good brothers, one is worried that the other is having a hard life, and the other is also worried that the other is driving a Land Rover.

In Xianyang, Ying Zheng fell silent as he looked at the names presented to him.

"Wei Bao!"

These two words seem to tell everyone that there is no point in working hard, and that lying down is the real king.

"Can't we change people?" Ying Zheng hesitated.

It’s not that he has any problem with Wei Bao, but he simply doesn’t want to see someone succeed so easily.

"The entire Qin belongs to your Majesty. If your Majesty wants to change it, you can change it!" Hei Bai Xuan Jian said with a bow.

"What about the consequences?" Ying Zheng frowned. It was not his character to act on impulse.

"There is no one in the world as professional as Gongzi Bao." Hei Bai Xuan Jian spread his hands.

There are no professional geographers in the whole world. There are only household officials in government offices and military scouts. The scales used in the maps they draw are also varied.

Therefore, in the whole world, the only ones who can be so standard and experienced are Wei Bao and his team.

"Forget it, forget it, just consider it as giving face to Emperor Xuanwu and Lord Shui!" Ying Zheng sighed.

Such success makes people hate it, but what they hate is why this person cannot be themselves!

"This is also the candidate designated by Master Zheng Guo!" Hei Bai Xuan Jian spoke at this time.

In fact, the entire Qin court did not take Wei Bao seriously. Although they all subscribed to Wei Bao's travel notes, they were more out of curiosity, wanting to see what kind of scenery there was along the rivers and lakes of China, but they did not specifically study the intrinsic meaning of these things.

It was not until the State of Zheng appointed Wei Bao as the coachman that they realized what was going on.
