System: I let you have children, not fight for hegemony

King Qin Zheng couldn't wait for Xunzi, so he returned to the palace.

Although all the forces of the general group have been taken over by Duoyu, the Li Xuejiao Rebellion has just passed, and Qin Wangzheng will not take the risk of staying out until dark.

Just when many fish were about to leave, Xunzi walked back slowly with a middle-aged man.

The setting sun was like blood, and the street was quiet, but the two people were talking happily, forming a world of their own.

"Xunzi." Many fish stood at the door and had to interrupt Xunzi who was having a serious conversation.

Xunzi's train of thought was interrupted and he responded.

A figure like a pine tree appeared at the gate of the academy.

The figure was slim and slim, and she looked like a young girl, but her temperament was more like a sharp sword hidden in a scabbard. Once it was taken out of the scabbard, blood would seal its throat, making it very domineering.

"How many fish?" Xunzi narrowed his eyes and asked uncertainly.

"It's me, Xunzi. I haven't seen you for many years. How are you?" Many fish came out to welcome Xunzi, allowing Xunzi to take a good look at him.

"It's really you!" Xunzi was so excited that his beard trembled. He wanted to touch the top of her hair again like he did before, but he was surprised to find that Duoyu was so tall that he had to stand on tiptoe to reach it.

Many fish smiled and bent down, letting Xunzi's palm easily touch the top of their heads: "Have I grown taller?"

Xunzi's old voice was choked with sobs: "Yes, you have grown up."

When Xunzi took back his hand, many fish straightened up and supported Xunzi. When he touched his arm, he found that it was as skinny as firewood.

Many fish glanced at Xunzi imperceptibly, and this glance almost made them shed tears.

After not seeing each other for several years, Xunzi felt as if his energy had been drained out of him, and his whole person was sluggish. Even his once firm eyes now only had sparks left.

Xunzi was indeed respected by three generations of Qin kings, but what they respected was not Xunzi's knowledge, but his status in Confucianism!

It was too difficult for Xunzi to persuade the King of Qin to use his theory.

Many fish opened their mouths, wanting to comfort him. Ah Zheng was about to ascend the throne, and maybe he would adopt his teachings.

But Azheng was a student of Xunzi, how could Xunzi not understand him?

After the world is at peace, Azheng may adopt some Confucian ideas to govern the people, but now everything must be prepared to swallow up Yu Nei!

"Duoyu, let me introduce you to my friend, Zheng Guo." Xunzi suddenly remembered that he had not introduced the two of them yet.

Zheng Guo?

Many fish looked at the middle-aged man who stood quietly aside and showed no dissatisfaction even though he was ignored by the two men.

There was a familiar aura about him, who did he look like?

Many fish frowned and thought for a moment, then remembered! Like Xiangli Zhong and Li Bing! There is the love and persistence of being dedicated to one thing, and also like Li Bing, he has the aura of a big river.

Many fishes greeted Zheng Guo cordially and were very enthusiastic.

Xunzi was confused and asked secretly: "Duoyu, do you know Zheng Guo?"

"I don't know him, but since he is your friend, he is also my friend." Of course many fish know Zheng Guo, he is a figure who has stayed among the people throughout the ages!

Sometimes, many fish have to admire Xunzi's ability to find people. Talents that they can't find anywhere will be automatically sent to his door wherever he sits.

"How did you and Zheng Guo meet?" Many Fish asked quietly.

"He came to the academy and said that there was a way to turn the salt land in Guanzhong into fertile soil. After talking with him, I felt that he did have real talent and knowledge, and he was a simple and simple man." Xunzi glared at the many fishes.

There were guests in front of her, but she still asked questions secretly. It was really unruly!

Sure enough, without her own control, she let herself go more and more freely. It's hard to imagine what kind of harm Bashu would be caused by her!

Many fishes laughed: "I brought you a lot of gifts, as well as wild ginseng. You can soak it in water and drink it when you have nothing to do. Hu Feizi just listened to Niu Buhui's advice and drank ginseng soup every day. His newly adopted concubines were all pregnant."

Xunzi was so angry that he untied the sword from his waist, patted the backs of many fishes with the sword blade, and said angrily: "Shou Li! You are a great nobleman, why are you still like this..."

Xunzi walked quickly to the Academy Palace angrily: "There are too many dormitories in the Academy to accommodate the famous Lieutenant Xu!"

Many fish turned around and followed Xunzi, smiling playfully and saying, "If you prepare a place for me to live, of course I will stay with you."

This stubborn old man, if you don't want to leave by yourself, just say so. It's really awkward.

Zheng Guo on the side looked at the two people with a smile, and you said something back to me.

Xunzi was obviously the most polite person, but he couldn't do anything with this young girl, as if she was his most beloved descendant and he couldn't bear to beat or scold her.

As for Commander Xu, it overturned Zheng Guo's imagination.

The tragedy she and Qin Wangzheng caused in the palace is still vivid in his mind. In Xianyang, her name can stop babies from crying.

Rumor has it that she is eight feet tall, has a tiger's back and waist, and is so fierce that she can kill a big tiger with one punch. She will kill anyone who dares to disobey her.

She was also very cunning and deliberately invited you to enter the urn, thus wiping out most of the forces that supported Cheng Jiao in one fell swoop!

However, the girl in front of me is just more naughty and cheerful than ordinary noble girls. How can she look like a murderer?

Zheng Guo's anxious heart suddenly relaxed.

This dinner consisted of rice, rice cakes, preserved game products, etc. brought by many fish.

"Have a try, how about this cured venison or cured pork?" Many fish are really hungry. When they are growing, they want to eat eight meals a day.

This time I made bacon rice. Cut the bacon into slices, spread it on the rice, add water, and steam it together.

The rice steamed in this way not only has the aroma of rice, but also the aroma of meat, is overflowing with oil, and is extremely delicious.

After the bacon is cooked in this way, it is not as salty as ordinary bacon, and it is easier to chew, making it easier for Xunzi to eat.

"Why did you bring pork here? It's thousands of miles away and it's not enough trouble." Xunzi said with disgust as he ate.

At this time, the nobles did not like to eat pork. They felt that pigs were dirty and unclean and that pork was fishy.

"This is a specially groomed pig! In Bashu, this kind of groomed pig is not only not fishy, ​​but also grows fast and has a lot of fat. It is extremely popular whether it is raised or sold." Zheng Guo was an outsider, but this man was destined to be from Qin!

Zheng Guo was not a prominent member of his family, and he did not object to eating pork, but he did not expect that many fish, as the head of a county, would be so informal and concerned about people's livelihood.

"This salt of yours is better than the well salt sold in Xianyang!" Xunzi chewed carefully and did not taste any bitterness. This variety is better than Rong salt.

As for where the well salt in Xianyang comes from, it is naturally sold by the Bashu Chamber of Commerce!

The Bashu Chamber of Commerce is like a shark that smells blood, diving wherever there is prey.

Coupled with the fact that their president is so cowardly, the people below are more or less a little bit crazy.

As long as it doesn't affect Shu County and doesn't affect the president's plans, it doesn't matter if he plunders the flesh and blood from other places.

"This rice is so delicious!" Zheng Guo embarrassedly added another bowl of rice.

Many fish chuckled, this is such an honest man! There was a ladder like him in front of him, but he didn't know how to grasp it and just ate rice.

Many fish thoughtfully handed him the steps: "Since Governor Li built the Dujiangyan Irrigation System, Bashu has become thousands of miles fertile, and grain production has increased five times! During this year's spring plowing, the fields that have been cultivated in previous years can be cultivated. This year's production can at least be maintained. double."

Land that has been flooded by water all year round cannot be cultivated immediately. It also needs to be sterilized and cultivated. This is also thanks to the farmers, who worked tirelessly to guide the tenant farmers in farming, and this made Tianfu Shangguo what it is today.

The more Xunzi listened, the more he wanted to visit Bashu: "If not... I really want to go with you."

Zheng Guo nodded repeatedly: "Chief Li is so awesome. He has built Dujiangyan so quickly in just a few years!"

Many fish saw that Zheng Guo worshiped Li Bing like a fanboy, but did not think of their mission at all, so they said: "In the Guanzhong area, there is less rain, lack of irrigation in farmland, and frequent droughts, which is not conducive to crop growth and seriously affects food production. If the irrigation conditions can be optimized, we will surely add more fertile fields to the Qin Dynasty!"

The Guanzhong area has many saline-alkali lands and insufficient irrigation, creating a vicious cycle.

At today's productivity level, if you want to improve saline-alkali land, you can only use a large amount of water to irrigate and flush it.

Many Fish's words were like a punch that woke up Zheng Guo.

During this time, Zheng Guo was chatting so happily with Xunzi that he almost forgot his mission!

"Sir, I have a plan!" Zheng Guo quickly put down the bowl set in his hand and sat up straight.

"A canal can be built, with Jingshui as the water source, starting from the mouth of the valley in Jingyang, Shaanxi Province in the west, going east to the southern foot of the North Mountain, converging with Zhuoshui in the north of Sanyuan County, and then passing through Zhuoshui and Shichuan rivers, passing through Fuping and Pucheng, and finally injecting Luohe." Cold sweat broke out in Zheng Guo's palms, and his heart felt like a drum.

Many fish finally breathed a sigh of relief, and Zheng Guo finally put forward Zheng Guoqu's plan!

The Zhengguo Canal is 124 kilometers long and has a total irrigated area of ​​approximately million acres, increasing grain production three to four times!

It is a major artery that enhances Qin's strength. Although Qin's strength has greatly increased with the food supply from Bashu, who would be dissatisfied with too much food?

What's more, according to the current situation, Qin will accelerate the pace of unifying the six countries. Then the requirements for grain logistics and grain production will be higher.

After all, the national war is about national strength!

If Qin's national strength cannot keep up with the speed of its conquests, it will only drag itself down in the end!

"Good! I will recommend you to the king tomorrow!" Zheng Guo was shocked by the cheerfulness of many fishes.

"Don't you think about it anymore?" Zheng Guo felt guilty. Xu Junwei trusted him so much, and she was Xunzi's beloved descendant. Isn't it bad that he cheated her like this?

If her affair is discovered, she will definitely be held jointly and severally responsible!

"No, your proposal is really great! As soon as I heard it, I can imagine the beautiful scene of Guanzhong's saline-alkali land turning into fertile farmland! Such talented people are exactly what our Great Qin urgently needs." Many fish held Zheng Guo high in the air .

Zheng Guo's face was red and he could not sit still. This was not because of shyness, but because of guilt!

Xunzi, who was familiar with many fishes, looked at them several times, but in the end he remained silent and ate the bacon rice in silence.

Between many fish and Zheng Guo, Xunzi was certainly on the side of many fish.

The next day, early in the morning, many fish drove a carriage to the palace. This eager move naturally attracted the attention of interested people.

"Build a canal?" Qin Wangzheng fell into deep thought after listening to Duoyu's words.

This canal is time-consuming, labor-intensive and expensive, and I am afraid that many people in the court will oppose it.

"Duoyu, what do you think?" Qin Wangzheng couldn't control his attention. According to his heart, he wanted to send troops to eat the six countries immediately.

Many Fish did not give any advice, but just said: "Dujiangyan is only half completed, and Bashu's grain production has already increased five times. Food is the basis for Bashu's development and expansion! If there is not enough grain to support it, I would not dare to From Xia Chunan.”

Qin Wangzheng knew this, but the advantages of many fish at sea were really touching: "Da Qin has such a great advantage at sea, can we..."

"No. If Daqin is a coastal country, we can still give it a try. But Qin is deep inland and attacked from both sides by land and sea. It is best to succeed. If one party loses, how to rescue it?"

Qin Wangzheng understood the meaning of many fish, and ships could not climb mountains and grasslands.

Moreover, the internal affairs are not yet stable, and the struggle for power between himself and Lu Buwei has not yet come to an end, so it is not appropriate to make any big moves.

Many Fish: "Zheng Guo may be someone sent from South Korea."

Qin Wang Zheng? ? ? What the hell?

Many fish couldn't help laughing: "A Korean minister proposed a plan to weaken Qin and sent Zheng Guo, a famous Korean water conservancy expert, to Qin to lobby Qin to dig an irrigation channel between Jingshui and Luoshui. The rhetoric was to provide Qin with agricultural development. Irrigation, increasing food production and benefiting the country's people, in fact, its purpose is to eliminate the threat to South Korea by consuming Qin's manpower and material resources so that its national power will be exhausted and has no time to go eastward."

At this point, Zheng Guo couldn't bear the guilt in his heart. He knocked on many fish doors in the middle of the night and confessed one by one.

Qin Wang Zheng...

South Korea really has many talents, but the King of Korea always likes to push talents outwards. It is not enough to push Han Fei to give many fish, but he also pushes Zheng Guo to himself.

With such a powerful water conservancy expert, wouldn't it be better to keep them to build South Korea? He actually wants to push it to himself! You know, Da Qin's water conservancy level is not as good as the other six countries!

"Azheng, do you dare to accept it?" Many fish asked.

Qin Wangzheng raised his eyebrows: "I even dare to use my body as bait to annihilate the Chengjiao forces in one fell swoop. Why are I afraid of South Korea's subterfuge? As long as Zheng Guo can really turn Guanzhong into a fertile wilderness, let alone absolve him of his guilt, he will be made a guest Sir, I can also name the canal Zheng Guo Canal!"

Many fish couldn't help but clap their hands, this is the real Azheng! I believe that Zheng Guoqu will not let him down!

Before the canal was built, the yield per mu in the Guanzhong area was basically around ten or twenty kilograms, while the yield per mu of land in most vassal states was close to around 90 kilograms.

Through irrigation through canals, the yield per mu in the Guanzhong area can reach about 90 kilograms, but its irrigated area is about 280 million acres of land!

If all calculations are based on 90 kilograms, the total harvest will be about 2.5 million tons!

If we calculate that combat soldiers need 2 kilograms of food rations per day, this food can feed 20 people for nearly 2 years!

What a great investment!
