Great Qin Emperor

Chapter 274
As soon as Han Fei finished reading, he slapped his thigh heavily, and shouted: "A wonderful plan, a wonderful plan, a truly unique plan!" It was originally a compliment, but he stuttered when he said it, which sounded very funny .

However, Wei Liao, Li Si and Zheng Guo all knew that Han Fei had a thousand tricks in his chest, and it must be a good strategy to get him to add some words. Take a look.

Li Si couldn't bear it anymore, and asked, "Senior brother, what's the trick?" Then he remembered that it was rude to call Han Fei a senior in front of the King of Qin, so he hurriedly pleaded guilty to the King of Qin: "Your Majesty, I'm rude, please Your Majesty punishes the crime."

The king of Qin, who is doing big things, would not pay attention to these trivial things, he shook his hand and said, "Forget it."

Han Fei handed the memorial to Wei Liao, and said, "Mr. Liaozi, take a look, it's really a trick!"

Wei Liao took a look at it, stood up abruptly and said, "Isn't Dong Chu Xi Chu the same as Ah Da Ah Er? Mr. Zhou is so heavenly and human!" Handing it to Li Si, he said: "Master Li, take a quick look. "

Li Si had been waiting for a long time to see what happened, so he hurriedly took it, looked it over, patted his thigh with his right hand, and praised: "Unbelievable, unimaginable, Mr. Zhou's tricks are like a powerful and unconstrained style, unrestrained, and people can't think of it. The strength of the Chu State, the reality of building roads, this kind of strategy is only dreamed up by Mr. Zhou.” There are endless praises, and the joy is on the face. In fact, it is not surprising that they are all very talented and resourceful people. , the happiest person is a strange plan, and there is no reason why you should not be surprised when you see such a thing at first glance.

"Stop just admiring it, show Mr. Zheng Guo whether it's feasible or not." Qin Wang reminded Li Si who was holding the memorial tightly.

Li Si came to his senses and handed the memorial to Zheng Guo. As soon as Zheng Guo finished reading it, he stood up abruptly and rummaged through things in the room.This is King Qin's study room. According to the rules, nothing can be moved. It is a serious crime to move it without King Qin's permission, not to mention that it would be even worse if he made such a big move. Li Si was about to scold him, but King Qin waved his hand to stop him, saying: "Mr. Zheng Guo ,What are you looking for?"

"Yu Tu, Yu Tu!" Zheng Guo didn't realize that this was extremely impolite, and said, "Your Majesty, quickly give Zheng Guo a copy of the map." Yu Tu is a map.

Before Li Si scolded, King Qin smiled and said: "Okay, I will give you a copy." He took out a map from the drawer, spread it on the table, and said: "Mr. Zheng Guo, what is the use of the map?"

Zheng Guo didn't answer King Qin's question, he threw himself on the map, put the memorial on the map, moved his hands on the map, muttered to himself, frowned from time to time, closed his eyes and thought.

In front of the King of Qin, such behavior was extremely rude, and Li Si wanted to scold him again. The King of Qin said: "Don't interrupt Mr. Zheng Guo to think about problems."

After a long time, Zheng Guo slapped the table with a sudden slap, and praised: "Wonderful idea, amazing idea! Although the two rivers are very close, the difference in height is hundreds of feet. If they are directly connected , the gap is too big, and the water is so fast that it is impossible to sail the boat. It circles back and forth, so that the water is no longer rushing, but very gentle, and it is completely possible to sail a boat, even a large boat. However, the project is a bit bigger, and the distance is only a few miles. Now it takes tens of miles to travel, which costs a lot, but this is a golden canal, and the money is worth it."

The Lingqu Canal is the earliest artificial canal in China. The reason why this canal was dug was that when 50 Qin troops marched south to Lingnan, due to inconvenient land transportation and insufficient logistical supplies, this caused unprecedented pressure on the Qin army.In order to solve the problem of supplying the army, Qin Shihuang personally went to the land of Jingxiang.

In the end, someone proposed to build the Lingqu Canal to connect the Xiangjiang River and the Lijiang River, and to transport supplies by water.The distance between Xiangjiang River and Lijiang River is only a few miles, but the drop is too large, and it is impossible to sail through it directly.Someone proposed a plan, which is to use the method of circling and reciprocating, which is similar to the current winding mountain road, and slow down the water potential by increasing the length.

The Lingqu was finally completed, which fundamentally solved the logistics problem of the Qin army, and thus conquered Lingnan.Since then, successive dynasties have been dredging the Lingqu, and it has become a strategic channel for the management of Lingnan by successive dynasties, which is of great significance.

Knowing the important historical significance of the Lingqu Canal, Zhou Chong decided to build this artificial canal by borrowing the psychology of Ah Da Ah Er of Chu State.Of course, if the state of Chu wanted to build the canal, it had to be sent to Xiang Chu. This was not something that Zhou Chong could accomplish, and it had to be operated through King Qin.It was based on this understanding that Zhou Chong wrote this highly praised memorial to King Qin.

The construction plan of Lingqu is not only in the Warring States period, but also very advanced from a modern perspective.Isn't our current winding mountain road just using the method of circling and reciprocating to solve the slope problem?Zheng Guo was a famous hydraulic engineer in the Warring States Period, and he was interested in hydraulic engineering. At first glance at such an unimaginable and peculiar design, could he not feel drunk?
"Mr. Zheng Guo thinks this canal can be built?" King Qin asked.

Zheng Guomeng nodded and said: "Yes, yes, I can. Such a wonderful design can be called a heavenly man. If it can't be completed, it would be a pity. If I, Zheng Guo, can build this canal, what a pity to die!"

King Qin laughed and said, "Mr. Zheng Guo is invited here not to admire the proposal, but to build this canal."

Zheng Guo blurted out: "Okay, Your Majesty, Zheng Guo can guarantee that this canal will be built for the benefit of future generations." He said regretfully: "It's a pity that we have to wait until the Chu Kingdom perishes."

The King of Qin patted Zheng Guo on the shoulder and said: "Mr. Zheng Guo's words are wrong! This canal is not built until the Chu State is destroyed, but is going to be repaired now. It is not that the Great Qin contributes, but the Chu State has to pay for it. Go and build this canal. Once the canal is completed, the army of widows will come later, and the people of Chu will build the canal, and the people of Qin will sail the boats, wouldn’t it be beautiful?"

This is so unbelievable, not to mention that Zheng Guo, who does not understand the strategy, finds it difficult to understand, even Han Fei Weiliao and Li Si find it too difficult to understand. Li Si asked: "Excuse me, my lord, is there a clever plan? The two factions of the Chu Kingdom are fighting each other." If the king wants Chu to build this canal, it may be impossible to do it."

What he said reached the hearts of Han Fei and Wei Liao, who nodded in agreement.

King Qin smiled and said: "If it is true as you said, how can it appear to be a widow's method, how can it appear to be Mr. Zhou's strange plan? There is no clever plan, but you can play a play. As long as this play is performed, it is guaranteed that the canal will be completed. Mr. Zheng Guo, would you like to go to Chu to build this canal?"

"Your Majesty, I am willing to go." Zheng Guo blurted out without thinking.

King Qin praised him well, and reminded: "But you have to think about it. If you want to build this canal, you will suffer. Not only you will suffer, but your family will also suffer."

"Your Majesty, I was originally a Korean hydraulic engineer. I entered Qin after exhausting Qin's strategy. Not only did my Majesty not offend me, but I also entrusted him with a heavy responsibility to build river canals. Don't say that I have to suffer, but I want my minister to die. The minister is also willing." Zheng Guo was very moved and said: "Your Majesty has orders, and Zheng Guo will never frown."

Qin Wang slammed his hands together and praised: "Well said! Let's go, let's go and act." Support genuine reading!)
