When I was in Qin Dynasty, I lost contact with the wave

Chapter 432 Zheng Guoqu, Tongqu!

In the eighth year of Qin Wangzheng, Meng Xiawang was on the sixth day, that is, on June [-]th, Yingzheng and a hundred officials stood on a high slope on the east bank of Jingshui.

Because Gaopo looks like a sharp mouth, the people in Jingyang call it "Jianzuipo".

And this high slope is the end of the east end of Guanzhong Canal.

"Through the drain!"

Standing on the high slope, Ying Zheng yelled loudly, and his voice was transmitted to the distance under the blessing of internal force, and the horns and drums on the high slope sounded in unison.

The sound of the trumpet drum was transmitted to the distance one after another, and every few miles there was a team of trumpet drum relay, and the sound of the trumpet drum was played to transmit the sound to the distance.After a long time, Yingzheng and other civil and military officials on Jianzuipao could no longer hear the drums of Lianli.

The two sides of the canal are full of people, pointing at this Guanzhong Canal is not out of malice, but as local people in Jingyang County, they really want to know that this has cost Qin State countless manpower and force, What is the function of the canal that has been built for eight years?

Far away at Hukou, the starting point of the west end of the Guanzhong Canal, with the sound of the drums relaying the relay for three hundred miles, more than [-] strong men with shirtless shirts turned the four rudder-like boats built on both sides of the canal. axle. .

There are chains and gears in the axle, and the sluice that prevents Jingshui from rushing southeast is slowly rising under the rotation of the axle.

The suddenly released water rushes out of the gap in the sluice, rushing on the artificially dug channel towards the canal on the east side.

The Guanzhong Canal diverts Jingshui in the west and flows into Luoshui in the east, with a length of more than [-] li.

The people watching the ceremony on both sides of the Guanzhong Canal saw the rushing water coming from a distance, and applauded, not only for the wonderful concept of this canal, but also for the good days to come.

The Jing River rushes out of the mountains in the north of Guanzhong, flows to Liquan and enters the Guanzhong Plain.The plain is hundreds of miles from east to west and tens of miles from north to south, forming a terrain that is slightly higher in the northwest and slightly lower in the southeast.

Zheng Guo made full use of this favorable terrain. The Guanzhong Canal started from Hukou and stretched eastward along the northern foot of the mountain. Naturally, the main canals were distributed in the highest area of ​​the irrigation area. A full artesian irrigation system has been formed.

The entire Guanzhong Canal is running smoothly and does not need much maintenance. Only Hukou, which is the starting point at the west end, needs to open a few more canals.

Jingshui contains silt, and after a few years, the silt may accumulate at the mouth of the gourd, and the mouth of the canal will be filled up so that the Jingshui cannot enter the canal from the mouth of the gourd. Therefore, it is necessary to prepare several inflow canals that can replace the mouth of the gourd. mouth.

"Brother Han Fei, I don't want you and I to have the opportunity to be officials in the same court again after nearly eight years." Zheng Guo was wearing a black Qin court dress, and looked at the man next to him who was wearing a distinctive purple robe. The young man couldn't help but tease him.

"Fortune makes people."

Han Fei shook his head and sighed softly.

Back then, Zheng Guo was South Korea's water engineering order. As Han Fei's close friend, Zheng Guo chose to come to South Korea, a country where he could not show much of his talent, but Han Fei had to push him to Qin. country, and still as an intermediary.

Taking the construction of the Guanzhong Canal as an excuse, they used Qin's plan to exhaust Qin, but they didn't want Qin to survive the most difficult period, and even severely damaged the Allied Forces, waiting until the day when the Guanzhong Canal was completed.

And he, from the ninth son of South Korea, became a hostage handed over to Qin by South Korea. Ying Zheng also planned to arrange an official position for this hostage in Tingwei Mansion.

Suddenly, Han Fei's wry smile faltered, and he looked at Zheng Guo solemnly: "Brother Zheng Guo, how effective will this Guanzhong Canal be?"

"I hope Brother Zheng Guo can tell the truth."

Of course, Han Fei knew that the Guanzhong Canal effect that Zheng Guo described in front of Zhang Kaidi back then was definitely discounted. Otherwise, with the arrogance of Zheng Guo, a high-ranking disciple of the Kanyu family, it is impossible to stoop to enter the Qin Dynasty as a middleman. calculated.

Moreover, these days he visited Jingyang County with Ying Zheng. Although he didn't know much about the art of water control, he could vaguely feel that the effect of this Guanzhong Canal was far more than three times the increase of [-] hectares described by Zheng Guo. mu yield.

Zheng Guo, who had been exposed to the scorching sun all year round, was no longer the handsome young man he once was. There was a sly smile on his dark cheeks, which indirectly verified Han Fei's guess.

"Anyway, Brother Han Fei will know sooner or later, so it's okay to tell you."

"During this period of time, Zhisu Neishi and I have been surveying together. If the data we surveyed are correct, then this Guanzhong Canal will irrigate more than [-] hectares of Zelu land."

"As for the yield per mu... if there are no natural disasters, the average yield per mu can barely reach one hour."

Zheng Guo caressed his beard and beard under his chin, looking like this, but Han Fei couldn't calm down no matter what.

One bell per mu, that is, nearly six and a half stones per mu (about a little over 170 catties), what is this concept?
In this era, the yield per mu of ordinary fields is only one and a half stones, one stone for lower fields, two stones for upper fields, and six and a half stones per mu, which is more than three times more fertile than upper fields!

The example of one bell per mu has actually existed for a long time.

When Ximen Bao ruled Ye, he sent people to dig twelve canals to divert water from the river to irrigate the fields. The "Twelve Canals from Zhangzhang" he built could also turn those lands into fertile land with a yield of one bell per mu, but the scope of irrigation But one hundred thousand hectares.

When Guan Zhong ruled Qi, there were also examples of irrigating land with river silt, which made the land yield one hour per mu, but it was only a few hundred thousand hectares of land.

And the Guanzhong Canal built by Zheng Guo can turn more than [-] hectares of uncultivable land (saline-alkali land) into fertile soil with a yield of one bell per mu.

Thinking about it now, I am afraid that at the beginning they thought they were sorry for Zheng Guo and let him be a high-ranking disciple of the Kanyu family, but they did not expect that he had already planned to show his ambition in Qin State.

Therefore, knowing that it was a strategy to exhaust Qin, he still dared to take a gamble. Not only did he not execute Zheng Guo as a middleman, but he gave Zheng Guo more power to build the Guanzhong Canal, and named the Guanzhong Canal "Zheng Guo Canal" after the canal was opened. ".

This is Ying Zheng's courage.

Yingzheng's courage also laid the foundation for Qin to rule the world.

With this Zhengguo Canal, unless there is a plague of locusts, Qin will never have the problem of food shortage again.

If there is another battle of Changping, Qin will be able to mobilize millions of troops without worrying about logistical pressure.

With a powerful treasury, coupled with the fearless Qin people, and the assistance of a famous general, Qin can consume the rest of the country to dominate the world even if it consumes life and death.

And as the news of Qin Zhengguo's opening of the canal spread throughout the world, a piece of news from Wei State also shocked the world.

In the 38th year of Wei Wangyu, the king died, and his posthumous posthumous title was Anxi, and the crown prince was added, who was named Wei Wangzeng.

(Sima Qian's grandfather was named Sima Xi, so he avoided all posthumous titles with "Xi" in "Historical Records" and changed them to "Li")
This king of Wei Anxi, who lived four years longer than in history, was praised by Han Fei in the book "Han Feizi" as "attacking Yan to save Zhao, taking the land of Hedong; attacking the land of Tao and Wei; adding troops to Qi, privately The capital of Pinglu; attacking Han and pulling out the tube is better than Qixia; in the case of Suiyang, the Jing army was old and left; in the case of Cai and Zhaoling, the Jing army was defeated; the soldiers were scattered all over the world, and the prestige was in the crown of the country. ; King Anxi died and Wei Yi died." The master of Zhongxing, after all, fell on the road of Zhongxing Wei.

As far as Huainan, Chu Wang Wan, his life is about to come to an end.

A conspiracy surrounding King Wan of Chu, Prince Han, Li Yuan, and Lord Chunshen is also brewing in the palace of Chu State.
