Chapter 132 Fanwai III: The Opening of Lingqu (1)(1/2)

Lingqu is a small plan that Ying Zheng made after he unified the world.

The main thing is to dig a canal to connect the Yangtze River water system and the Lingnan water system.

Secondly, a series of water conservancy projects were carried out on the Lingqu Canal, so that the river water in each river can be kept flat and that the Qin warships could easily penetrate into the Baiyue.

If Baiyue is successfully incorporated into the territory of the Qin Dynasty in the future, Lingqu will be of great use. At least the transportation of goods between Bashu and Baiyue will be much more convenient, and Xianyang has a straight road to Bashu.

Therefore, the benefits of digging spiritual canals are naturally very numerous.

But there are also many difficulties.

This project is very huge and has a very technical content. You have to calculate the water volume in each period and then think about what kind of water conservancy projects can keep the water surface of each river always flat.

You should know that the river water will change, and this major project that maintains the water surface level must be flexible enough to ensure that the river water flow can be artificially controlled.

Mountains, rivers and seas are all created by God, so ordinary people naturally dare not have the idea of ​​controlling their direction, but Ying Zheng is not an ordinary person.

Ying Zheng chose someone named Shi Lu to take charge of this matter and also selected a large number of technical talents for Shi Lu.

Most of these technical talents were from Yunyang Academy. They were very good at calculating and had also studied the "Nature" textbook.

When they talked about water conservancy projects, they all made Shi Lulu take a set of "Nature" textbooks and study them and gained a lot of inspiration.

The chore of digging spiritual canals was of course done by prisoners at the beginning. Shi Lu first arranged for people to dig out the parts that had no objections, and the remaining parts with high technical content held various meetings every day, and took people to inspect the trends of mountains, rivers and rivers on-site, and repeatedly overturned his ideas.

In the end, Shi Lu decided to set up a plow-shaped "piercing nozzle" between the Xiangjiang River and the Lijiang River, and at this location, it was carried out three to seven parts of the water, three parts into the Lijiang River, and seven parts back into the Xiangjiang River, and set up a series of small and small projects to deal with the flood season.

This series of projects is not only huge, but also complex, and no one can understand their drawings when they get them.

When Shi Lu finalized the plan to send the engineering drawings back to Xianyang, Ying Zheng looked at it for a while but couldn't understand it. He looked at the explanation below to figure out why each part was set.

Ying Zheng thought that many of the messy disciplines in Yunyang Academy were set up by Fusu, so he called Fusu to see the drawings and ordered Shi Lu to start work after Fusu confirmed that there was no problem.

If the Lingqu canal cannot be completed, the military rations cannot be transported, and the Baiyue is not easy to fight, so the plan to conquer the south is temporarily put on hold.

Ying Zheng has worked diligently in handling government affairs in recent years, and found that all kinds of matters have been arranged almost completely, and the chances of overtime work have become fewer and fewer, so he has the intention of going to the Eastern Tour.

In the "future" shown by the causal mirror, he encountered many unpleasant things during his Eastern Tour -

For example, during Fengshan, he encountered a storm and hid under the tree, and even sealed the tree as the five doctors.

For example, he was assassinated halfway and almost killed on the road.

For example, he actually died on the way back in the end, and he still couldn't die even after he died.

But people can't give up because of the choke. Since he has become the lord of the world, he can't even look at his own world, right?

If he really doesn’t even have the courage to go on a tour, why should he let the world come back?

In that case, everyone can call themselves emperor behind closed doors!

Ying Zheng made up his mind and soon discussed with the court officials about the Eastern Tour.

Fusu originally wanted to try to go with him, but Ying Zheng said that someone would take charge of Xianyang, and he slowly counted for Fusu: Have you completed the construction of the Qi Palace? Have you completed the construction of the new Palace? Have you completed the tax collection and financial planning this year?

Fusu suffered three consecutive heavy blows.

This is all his business.

When the Chu Palace and Yan Palace were built imitated, there was a little controversy in the court. It was discussed for a long time, mainly to discuss whether Chu died first or Yan died first.

If there is any territorial fall first, it must be Yan State. But after that, the King of Yan ran away and went to Liaodong for a few years. The country was gone and the king was still there. Is it considered to be destroyed?

The two sides were unable to argue, but in the end, Ying Zheng decided to build the Palace of King Chu in front and the Palace of King Yan in back.

However, the two sides were actually built at the same time, and the completion time was almost the same.

The Chu Palace is used for the breeding of various rare birds and beasts and the sale of animal powers, while the Yan Palace is used for the production and transaction of various means of transportation.

The two sides also connected to build a racecourse and a Cuju field, which was not only very practical, but also took into account the preferences of Prince Dan of Yan.

After these two places are built, food, clothing, housing and transportation will be basically done.

The court officials felt that the Taipei City was already great enough and had complete achievements. They felt that there was no need to make new things. Who could go shopping for it after building it again!

So whether the Qi Palace was still built was still in good condition, and a new round of discussion was held in the court.

Fusu has always been willing to adopt everyone's opinions. He readily accepted all the opinions put forward by everyone, and according to everyone's opinions, he managed and integrated the original building complex in Taipei City more perfectly, and finally came up with the construction plan for the Qi Palace.

Fusu’s idea is that after completing material civilization, he can develop spiritual civilization.

The Qi Palace can be used to engage in entertainment.

At that time, Confucius Zhongni appeared in Qilu. "The Spring and Autumn Analects", "The Analects of Confucius", "The Book of Rites", "Three Hundred Poetry", etc. are all classic works integrated by Confucius or his disciples. Just these books can praise the "prosperous literary style" in Qilu. What's more, there was a Jixia Academy in Qi, which was once a scholarly breeding ground for the controversy of hundreds of schools of thought.

Fusu is planning to set up a printing factory, a bookstore, a Jixia Academy Memorial Hall, etc., and any other industries related to piano, chess, calligraphy and painting have also been moved here, and there are also large gathering places for literati and scholars to make friends. In the future, everyone can hold academic exchange meetings regularly.

By this time, the Six Kingdoms Palace complex had basically been transformed beyond recognition, and only the original style could be seen in the architectural structure. Therefore, the renovation plan proposed by Fusu was much bolder than before. It was basically built on demand, and no longer deliberately put forward the guise of imitation construction.

In the past, the people of the Qin Dynasty were not very confident in their culture and felt that they could not do this. Now, many people still think that they have a unique sour taste in their hearts when they see the scholars of the Six Kingdoms in the court.

However, with the rise of official schools in recent years, the Imperial College and the Yunyang Academy have continuously exported talents. A new group of young people have gradually entered the court. Although the official positions are not high, they have become a huge force.

This group of people has many common characteristics -

First, they were the first people to learn official script, and they had dealt with many grassroots clerks, and even got the entrance exam for grassroots clerks.

Secondly, they have received more or less comprehensive basic education, and their thinking and knowledge are broader than those who study hard.

Third, they are young, full of enthusiasm and motivation, and all have received unified brainwashing education. They believe that literati from the Eastern countries are nothing special. When it comes to culture, their crown prince is the star of Wenqu to the earth!

I didn’t see that they had paper first and then woodblock printing technology, and all the books in the world belonged to Xianyang.

More importantly, under the leadership of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, their creative level is getting higher and higher. Not only are their writing good articles and arguments, but their poetry level is also getting stronger every year.

It is said that the emperor has something to like, but the subordinates must follow it. In recent years, Ying Zheng and Fusu loved reading poetry and prose and let civil and military officials create creations. Naturally, the people below followed suit. From the officials, nobles and nobles to ordinary people, they all had the tendency to become creative experts.

For example, if you go to the next door to borrow salt, you can write a poem and sing it.

There is no way, you can't write poems without chanting, and you won't lend them to you next door!

In this case, can they not work hard to improve their poetry writing skills?

It is difficult for Qin people to have a clear understanding of such a transformation, but it feels completely different for those literati from the Eastern countries who have just been admitted to Xianyang.

These people think that they are overwhelming the Qin people in terms of cultural attainments, and they can get an official position when they come to Xianyang. However, after they arrive in Xianyang, they are stunned. Sometimes a poem that they can't even think of even if they can't think of, the guy who came to bring them water and food listened to it and picked it up for them casually!

This is a bit scary.

The guy said modestly: "This is nothing. My knowledge is only served with dishes and water in Xianyang."

Listen, is this what people say?

This is not something human being said at all!

The literati of the six countries were hit hard, and the discrimination against the literati of Qin was basically gone. They were polite in their daily interactions. After being admitted to the court, they did not dare to raise their tails again. Instead, they were very humble.

Now the entire Hanlin Academy looks harmonious, and the doctors only quarrel when disagreement is the case, and they get along well at other times.

Therefore, the Qin State has already established a foundation to improve the cultural level of the whole people, and it is time to build a cultural palace that brings together various cultural industries!

At the same time, the new palace has also begun to be built. Ying Zheng has been ascended to the throne for several years, so he can't just draw cakes and not do it.

If the construction is not started, the prisoners will be released, and there will be no free labor available!

Fusu has to take charge of both of these things, so Ying Zheng didn't plan to bring him with him this time on the tour.

Although Fusu was a little disappointed, he knew that there were a lot of things in his hands, and he was indeed not suitable to follow him on a tour, so he could only accept the fact that he was staying behind.

Ying Zheng left as soon as he said that, and handed over the affairs of the Korean Central Committee to Fusu and led his entourage to set off.

This was the first time that Fusu was ruling the country alone. When Ying Zheng left Xianyang, there was nothing serious about it, and he did not relax and handled affairs of all parties diligently every day.

Now the division of labor between the various yamen in the court is clear, and there are not many things to worry about Fusu. He can usually go back to the East Palace to spend more time with Shanghua.

Originally, they still lived outside the palace after getting married, but this time he wanted to supervise the country and handle many government affairs every day. Ying Zheng ordered people to set up the East Palace for Fusu and his wife to move in so that he could receive emergency reports at night.

Shang Hua was responsible for this move. He didn't move too much, but only brought a few bamboo bears.

There are affairs in the court, and women's relatives also affairs. Before the couple could get used to it after they moved into the Eastern Palace, they had to busy accusing the responsibility of the prince and the princess.

That day, Fusu finished his whole day's business and was about to go back to the East Palace, but someone came to report that Hu Hai was sick.

Fusu no longer interfered in the affairs of Imperial College, and he only found out later that Hu Hai did not go to Imperial College to study.

He went to ask the people below and found out that the disappearing Zhao Gaoyuan was arranged by Ying Zheng to teach Hu Hai.

The person who replied quietly told Fusu that Ying Zheng arranged Zhao Gao when he discovered that Hu Ji had contacted Zhao Gao privately. Since then, Ying Zheng no longer liked to see Hu Hai, and moved their mother and son to a place close to the Hidden Palace. Anyone with discerning eyes could see that Ying Zheng was very disliked by them.

Fusu was a little stunned when he first heard about this, but later he thought that his father might have thought of his experience when he was a teenager, so he sent Hu Ji and his son like this.

His father obviously was unhappy in the harem to extend his hand to the previous dynasty, otherwise he would not have even refused to stand up to a queen.

When Fusu talked about this with Zhang Liang privately, Zhang Liang told him openly and secretly that the emperor's favor is so unreliable. Don't believe too much in favor of anything, otherwise once Ying Zheng's ideas change, he will not be able to handle himself.

Zhang Liang's meaning is very clear. Even if he becomes the crown prince, it is not a guarantee. In the past, there were many cases of changing princes in various countries. Without Hu Hai, there might be even younger princes.

Although Fusu heard these words from Zhang Liang, he didn't listen to them. Although more and more people gathered around him, not many people could really communicate with him. He didn't want to even guess when facing his father, Zhang Liang and the others.

If one day they really change, feel disgusted with him or abandon him, what's the point even if he can inherit the throne?

Ying Zheng went on a tour, so Fusu naturally could not allow Hu Hai to be seriously ill. He ordered the imperial physician to consult Hu Hai.

Nowadays, many imperial physicians came out of the Imperial Medical Office established by Fusu. After returning, they told Fusu about their discoveries without any concealment: Hu Hai was sick this time, and maybe someone wanted to make a fuss about Hu Hai's illness.
