Chapter 134 Fanwai III: The Opening of the Lingqu (End)

Although Ying Zheng felt a little disgusted with Fusu's ugly son, he was the first child of the prince Fusu. If it was ugly, he might be quite majestic when he grew up, and his temper was not fierce and his face was fierce, and he might also be able to scare people.

Ying Zheng enlightened himself in this way, and after returning, he gave the newborn of the East Palace a lot of good things to show his respect for him, the emperor's grandfather.

It’s not that he likes Fusu’s son in particular, but that his child is so ugly that he can’t like him anymore, wouldn’t he be looked down upon in the future?

The next month, Ying Zheng didn't even want to see the ugly child again. It was not until Fusu came to ask for instructions that he wanted to hold a banquet in the East Palace and invite some friends to celebrate his son's full moon that Ying Zheng decided to reluctantly look at the child again.

Ying Zheng visited the East Palace again, so it was naturally lively. Fusu invited people who had a lot of contact on weekdays. Needless to say, Xiao He and Liu Jiao also came with gifts, and prepared gadgets suitable for children to play with, as well as books with pictures for enlightenment, etc. No one took the opportunity to give Fusu a heavy gift.

Ying Zheng glanced at him and felt shabby. He swept the families they brought, and found that the children brought by each family were all very good-looking, each with a pink and jade-cut look, and he even came forward to greet him cleverly, without showing any timidity at all.

This made Ying Zheng even more worried about the future of Fusu's ugly son.

After all, if nothing unexpected happens, these little boys will be the playmates of Fusu's ugly son. At that time, the people around you will be like this, and they will all inherit the outstanding appearance of their parents. Only Fusu's ugly son is so ugly, wouldn't that be quite uncomfortable?

Ying Zheng was wondering whether to pick up a group of uglier kids to keep for later use, so he saw his daughter-in-law bring the child out.

Because the delivery is relatively smooth, Shanghua looks not much different from before delivery, and she is well raised within the month. She looks just that her face is slightly rounder than before giving birth, and the changes are not too big.

Seeing Shanghua come out, Fusu stepped forward and took her son from her and carried him to show Ying Zheng again.

Ying Zheng didn't want to look at the ugly doll again, but Fusu came in front of him, so he couldn't dodge it.

When Ying Zheng looked down, he saw a cute little baby in Yuxue lying peacefully in the cradle. The boy was very adaptable. So many people around him didn't wake him up. He was sleeping very sweetly. He even snored when he came to Ying Zheng. It can be said that he was very presumptuous!

Ying Zheng felt puzzled: Could it be that Fusu despised his son for being ugly and found a good-looking one to replace him!

Of course, Ying Zheng was just thinking about it. His years of imperial career have taught him the calmness of "I have doubts but I won't say I'll wait for you to tell me yourself." He said calmly: "It looks much better than when I was just born."

Fusu casually gave Ying Zheng a few words to say, saying that children were wrinkled when they were born, so it would be better to open them. He also drew down his son's wrinkled appearance and waited for his son to grow up to see what he looked like when he was just born.

Ying Zheng: “…………”

The little boy is a little liar, and the big one is not very good.

Forget it, just be cheated. If this child has such a pair of parents who love to bury him, his life will probably not be easy in the future. If you give me something, you can't take it back!

After the full moon banquet of the little emperor grandson, the female family members from various families entered the palace to visit Shanghua one after another, and the East Palace became more lively day by day.

With his son, Fusu pays more attention to returning to the East Palace on time and on time, and insists on taking time to accompany his son to grow up every day.

Ying Zheng was not very satisfied with Fusu's behavior of paying too much attention to his wife and children. However, every time Fusu happily brought his son to him and told him that the little boy would laugh and turn over, Ying Zheng still reluctantly took a look, and let the fleshy little dumpling roll over and roll over on his own.

Sometimes when Ying Zheng pinched the little dumpling, which was so small that it was only a little bit of finger, he always felt very wonderful. Why didn’t he find that the child’s hands were so small before? Such a small boy was really not easy to grow up, and he might lose it if he was not careful.

During this period, Ying Zheng successively picked up several groups of people to the East Palace to avoid insufficient staff and failure to take good care of the young emperor's grandson.

Ying Zheng’s frequent rewards and the subsidies made many people wonder: I didn’t see Ying Zheng’s special love for his child before, why did he frequently give gifts to the emperor’s grandson? Did His Majesty begin to like playing with his grandson in middle age?

No matter what Ying Zheng thought, he valued the grandson especially and did not run away, so the others boldly sent children to the East Palace.

If you give money to women, Fusu will definitely not accept it. However, these people give all kinds of things suitable for children to play with and books suitable for children to read. Fusu made an exception and began to accept gifts from court officials.

After receiving the gift, Fusu sorted out a copy of what he thought was good, and sent it back to each family according to the "parenting gift package". He said that this is the product of everyone's brainstorming. Everyone will have newborns in their families, and everyone will take one copy to spare. Everyone will make progress together and cultivate an excellent next generation together!

Many people are in a complicated mood when they receive the return gift from Fusu.

In terms of easy getting along with, Fusu is indeed a good person to get along with. He never has any prejudice to work with him. He always talks about things on the ground. If there is an occasional dispute, it is just a matter of reason. He never looks down on others because of his identity as a prince.

But it would be too difficult to please the prince Fusu.

Fusu has no shortage of anything since he was a child, and there is Ying Zheng, the number one big backer in Tianzi. No one can think of a way to please him. He can only work honestly and give up those evil ways.

Now that I finally received the gift, Fusu also gave me a more generous and more attentive copy. How could their mood not be complicated?

After discussing it privately, the ministers felt that there was no way out. Everyone should do it in the future. Don’t mess with so many evil ways, that wouldn’t work at all!

Compared with the original officials of Qin, the remaining ministers of the Eastern countries or the scholars who later relied on it felt unreal. Comparing their previous official environment and comparing the current official environment of Qin, they felt that the gap was too big. They never thought that Qin would produce a prince who could be called a "gentleman", and that was not the kind of gentleman he spoke, but was implemented in action all year round.

With such a prince here, it feels that it is not so uncomfortable to serve the Qin court.

Everyone is a scholar, who doesn’t have any political ideals in their hearts? It’s just that they didn’t have the opportunity to realize this ideal before. Now they all see hope and want to roll up their sleeves and do something big immediately!

Under this strange atmosphere, the Qin court was operating at high speed, and investing a lot of manpower and material resources every year in infrastructure construction. Not only did it stop building roads and bridges, the Lingqu project was also underway.

When the young emperor and grandson were one year old, Fusu thought that he had seen someone arrest Zhou, so he asked someone to prepare some small items for arrest Zhou and put them out for his son to arrest him.

Xiao Tuanzi has sat very steadily now, and crawling around is not a big deal. He is also very skilled in grabbing things. He once sat on Ying Zheng's lap and painted the minister's folds into ghost painting talismans.

Ying Zheng, who has always been very strict with his children, couldn't get angry when facing this little chubby little dumpling, so he could only challenge the minister and scolded him, saying that what he wrote today was all about, and went back to rewrite another copy and handed it over.

The minister was scolded to doubt his life, and returned to his yamen with a blank look on his face, and began to think about his own memorials. Finally, he figured out a better and more detailed version and sent it to Ying Zheng early the next morning.

Ying Zheng accepted it without changing his expression, and opened the note with a small dumpling that was brought to Fusu and played with him. He found that there was a line of titles written at the front of the note: "This Year's Breeding Pig, Breeding Cattle, and Stallion Reservation Plan".

At first glance, it was a pragmatic official brought out by Fusu. He first mentioned the topic, then he would inevitably put data and analyze, and finally write down the needs and expected goals in a systematic way!

Ying Zheng: “…………”

The little Tuanzi, who was nestled in Ying Zheng's arms, seemed to find something was wrong with Ying Zheng, so he raised his head and looked at Ying Zheng with a few unidentified babbling sounds.

Ying Zheng looked down at the innocent tummy dumpling, and decided to silently think that this had never happened. Anyway, the guy who was scolded did not dare to complain outside!

Anyway, Ying Zheng no longer dislikes this grandson as an ugly baby.

Fusu wanted to arrest Zhou for his son, so he naturally wanted to invite Ying Zheng.

Ying Zheng felt that it was meaningless to capture Zhou. Since this little guy was Fusu's eldest son, of course he would inherit Fusu's position in the future. Could it be that he would really ask him to concentrate on studying when he captured this book? However, Fusu said that everyone was gathering together to be lively, so Ying Zheng did not object, but just added a small jade seal to the objects.

Although the little guy was still young, he looked very smart. He sat between the pile of small objects, looked left and right, and first grabbed the jade seal that Ying Zheng had stuffed. Then he pulled all the gadgets that he liked to him. Finally, he sat in a bunch of treasures and found the jade seal he had first taken to play with. It was obvious that he liked this one the most.

Ying Zheng was very satisfied. He deserved to be his grandson. He had a good vision and was much smarter than his father!

At night, Fusu and his wife helped their son put away the pile of treasures. When Fusu picked up the jade seal, they immediately discovered its strangeness: it was made of rare warm jade, and it would soon warm up when held in their hands.

Children will definitely be curious after getting this kind of gadget that will cause heat and warmth!

His father is cheating!!!

Fusu couldn't help but condemn Ying Zheng early the next morning.

Ying Zheng said with confidence: "This is called "deception". You can't think of a way to blame?" He did not intend to worry about arresting Zhou with Fusu, but handed Fusu a report he had just received, "Shi Lu said that the Lingqu was built."

Shi Lu sent out a few years to build the spiritual canal. He has been working one after another for many years. This year, he finally achieved results and sent the news back before the flood season arrived.

The spirit came true!

Fusu never opposed spending money on such water conservancy projects. A large part of the reason for their development of agriculture in Qin State was the development of water conservancy. Now they can build spiritual canals to connect two water systems and control the water level of the river channel. In the future, they will definitely be able to better control the ferocious beast of the Yellow River, make good use of the abundant water resources of the Yangtze River system, and develop simultaneously in the north and the south. Why worry about the prosperity of the Qin Dynasty!

This time, before Ying Zheng left him, Fusu spoke first: "Father, I want to go and have a look."

Ying Zheng didn't plan to compete with Fusu. He was on tour last time, so Fusu should go out for a look this time. He said, "It's OK, you go."

Fusu returned to the East Palace and said to Shanghua, then found a few friends who had been freed up recently to visit Lingqu.

The prince's tour was not a trivial matter. He worked hard in the court, so Fusu and Zhang Liang and others took a car south.

Several people often traveled together when they were young. Although they have already started a family and started a career, they still feel like they were back to the days when they were traveling together. They were so uncomfortable that they arrived at their destination without realizing it.

When Fusu and his group saw Shi Lu, they happened to usher in the early summer flood season. They walked to the pier of Lingqu and saw that the north and south channels were very wide. Looking from high and far away, they felt like the vast water and sky were vast.

With the order of Shi Lu, the cargo ships that had been prepared were out in a row, rushing to transport the goods southward, and soon rushed past Fusu and the others and entered the Li River, which seemed to have been tamed.

With hydraulic power, these cargo ships seem to be able to travel thousands of miles a day.

Fusu felt a very wonderful feeling in his heart.

When you stand alone in the world, you will inevitably feel that you are very small, like an ant or a mustard of grass.

But when you see the magnificent and narrow mountains, rivers and lakes become docile and cute with the concerted efforts of everyone, and can even help you do what you want, you will feel that although people are small, they are the most bold and hardworking and intelligent in the world. Otherwise, how could these things created by God willingly use them?

Fusu, Zhang Liang and others sighed, and rewarded the people in charge of Lingqu Project on merit and placed the prisoners who had served enough labor so that they could start their new life again.

On the way back, Fusu drew some of his experiences about Lingqu and wrote a serious article praising Lingqu, expressing his hope that the court will build more such good projects that are conducive to north-south transportation and local development in the future.

After returning to Xianyang, Fusu sorted out the manuscripts and presented them to Ying Zheng for reading.

After Ying Zheng finished reading, he felt that he had lost a little because he didn't go to Lingqu to see it. Fortunately, he couldn't go to Baiyue in the future. He just took a look at it.

As for Fusu's praise, Ying Zheng felt that it was average and did not make him very happy.

It’s just a canal, nothing great!

A few days later, Ying Zheng privately summoned Shi Lu and gave a tactful hint to Shi Lu: Where else can we build canals in the Qin Dynasty? When can you come up with a new plan? Money is not a matter, and people are not a matter. If it is built, it will be useful. At worst, the prisoners brought back from Baiyue will dig for you to dig canals!

When Shi Lu heard this, he suddenly felt enlightened. How could there be too many water conservancy projects? Even if the Qin area has been repaired enough, there are still places in the Eastern countries that have not been repaired. If the water conservancy projects are completed, it will be a great thing for agriculture and transportation!

Shi Lu talked about his idea to the map, saying that as long as the court has spared energy, there will definitely be many places to be built, such as the original Honggou water system in Wei, and then to Jiangnan, isn’t that a good water transportation network? Then, the basic water conservancy in Jiangnan and the development of Jiangnan agriculture will definitely be able to have an additional granary in the future!

If you have too much food in your hands, what can you do?

Ying Zheng was very happy when he heard this and immediately asked Shi Lu to go back and write a charter.

When Shi Lu handed over the memorial, Ying Zheng calmly handed over the matter to Fusu to handle.

Fusu was really happy to see this memorial. He asked Shi Lu Bingzhu to talk at night, talked about a lot of plans about Jiangnan, and earnestly entrusted this matter with the latest batch of graduates of Yunyang Academy to Shi Lu, hoping that Shi Lu would cultivate a group of hard-working talents while completing the Jiangnan development plan.

Seeing that Ying Zheng and his son both valued this matter so much, Shi Lu naturally felt very good. He cleaned up and took the people to Jiangnan with great energy.

In the following years, the construction of water conservancy has become one of the important indicators for the examination of various counties. After taking office, every new official took office, he was wandering around himself, thinking with a worried look on where he could do it.
