Chapter 69 The first voice
"It should be agreed." Zheng Guo hesitated slightly, but Zhao Huaizhong did not give a positive answer.
"Are you not sure, what did Qin Chu say?" Han Yi was a little dissatisfied.
"He's very interested in my suggestions... Well, no, I feel that Qin people may have planned to build water conservancy projects. He knows a lot."
Zheng Guo: "He said he should think about it, but I feel that the water conservancy plan is very suitable for him, and there will be no problem."
Han Yi's face finally showed a happy expression: "So Mr. Qin only agreed to your plan after going in for half an hour?"
Zheng Guo hummed: "He and I discussed a lot about water conservancy, and asked me if I wanted to open the Jingshui, divert it eastward, and merge it into the Luoshui.
Yuhou, do you think it's strange?
Qin Chu's words are so in line with our suggestions! "
Han Yi has been overwhelmed with great joy.
The Qin people themselves are also considering building water conservancy projects, so it is better, and they will not doubt that their suggestions are plans to tire Qin.
This trip to Daqin as an ambassador was a fantastic start.
Han Yi reluctantly suppressed the joy in his heart, and then said with some contempt: "It is expected that this son is still young and greedy for merit. It's so easy to believe.
This is a great joy, sir, you should remember it. "
Zheng Guo shook his head, thinking that I didn't say much, so what is the credit for Qin Chu taking the lead?
Han Yi said again: "It is also possible that the gift we gave moved him..."
Zheng Guo muttered: "As a gift, he only accepted the Donghai mussel beads that I carried with me, and the rest of the items were declined and not accepted."
“…”
Han Yi showed a look of astonishment.
At this time, the carriage set off, carrying Han Yi and Zheng Guo, and returned to the Jingqian Palace where they lived.
The Crown Prince's Mansion.
Zhao Huaizhong returned to the dormitory after Zheng Guo left, took out a small box, and placed a silver-white pearl the size of a coin in it, which was dimly lit.
Looking at the beads, it seems that there is a sea of water, the tides surging in the beads, and there is a faint blue halo, which is really wonderful.
According to Zheng Guo, every time the moon is full, there will be a vision of a mussel woman appearing in this bead, hazy, and swallowing the moonlight.
Zhao Huaizhong accepted the mussel beads and asked Liu Qi to return a gift to Zheng Guo.
"Zheng Guo said that when the vision of the mussel woman in the beads appeared, she would still sing. Isn't this an ancient music box?"
After observing the mussel beads for a while, Zhao Huaizhong put the beads on the bedside as a night light, and immediately fell asleep.
For the next few days, Zheng Guo went around lobbying, and the situation was mixed.
There were many people with outstanding knowledge among the Qin people, who saw through the purpose of the Han people and unceremoniously rejected Zheng Guo's proposal.
January 5th, early morning.
Xianyang Palace, the main hall of the court.
Zhao Huaizhong stood between the ministers and King Zhuangxiang, and looked at the quarrel of the ministers below with narrowed eyes.
The core of the quarrel revolved around Zheng Guo's suggestion, should we build water conservancy at this time?
"The Koreans entered Qin this time, but within three or five days, they visited everywhere, looking for people to send things."
"Could it be that no one in Daqin deceived me to see through their calculations?"
"The Koreans want me, Daqin, to give up the invasion of Korea and offer a plan to build water conservancy, so as to waste my Daqin's national strength, don't believe it..."
As soon as the court meeting began, the ministers of the Qin Dynasty were divided into two camps, and disputes arose, and most of them opposed the construction of water conservancy projects.
Most ministers pay more attention to the immediate pros and cons.
Zhao Huaizhong stood under King Zhuangxiang and thought silently: According to some historical records, it seems that the Qin people had great disagreements on whether to repair the Zhengguo Canal at that time.
It was the first emperor and Lu Buwei who agreed to overwhelm the opposition of the ministers and decided to build the Zhengguo Canal.
In history, Lu Buwei was one of the most important people who promoted the construction of Zhengguo Canal.
At this time, Lu Buwei was standing in the front of the group of ministers, his eyes half-squinted, and he never participated in the disputes of the group of ministers from beginning to end.
King Zhuangxiang also seemed hesitant.
Although he was also a monarch who worked hard to rule, during his reign, he made the Qin people stronger and stronger, but he was limited by his vision and knowledge, and he was far from being a heroic lord, and he lacked strategy and opinion.
"The few people listened to the opinions of the ministers and felt that it would be beneficial to build water conservancy projects, but the repairs at the moment would consume a lot of national strength, and go against my Qin people's strategy.
What does Xiang Lu think about this? " King Zhuangxiang asked.
Lu Buwei said slowly: "Fixing the water conservancy will allow me to avoid future troubles in Daqin, and lay the foundation for going east.
The minister's proposal should be repaired. "
Shaofu, one of the nine ministers, is an old man with a handsome face.
He was in charge of the royal family's tax burden, expenditure, income and other matters, and immediately stood up to oppose: "If you build water conservancy at this moment, it will definitely cost a lot, and you will no longer be able to divide your troops eastward.
And this is a Korean tactic. How can I know that it is a tactic and step into it. "
Lu Buwei said indifferently: "So what if it's a trick? Whoever benefits from this trick, can't the young man see clearly."
Zhao Huai Center thought that it was my turn to play, and immediately stepped forward and assisted: "Father, my son also has something to say!"
King Zhuangxiang's expression was gentle: "If you have anything to say, you can say it."
Zhao Huaizhong said: "I heard what the minister said, all worried that the construction of water conservancy will delay the east out, but if the water conservancy is not built, can the east go out smoothly?"
The Shaofu who spoke just now has a tough personality, and anyone dares to fight, and now he is listed again: "If you don't repair water conservancy, your country will be full of power, and you will come out from the east.
The prince did not see that the Han people were forced to breathe by my Daqin. Otherwise, why would he make this calculation and come to my Daqin to offer water conservancy? "
Zhao Huaizhong asked back: "Even if it goes east smoothly, does the Shaofu think that I can occupy the Han land with the power of Qin? After occupying the Han land, can we occupy Wei Zhao, occupy Wei Zhao, and enter the Chu land? What about Yan Qi? ?"
Shaofu was stunned, thinking that your ambition is too big.
We are talking about water conservancy and the attack on Korea. You drag all the six countries in together. This is a battle of the world.
However, Zhao Huaizhong's words also made Shaofu and those who opposed the construction of water conservancy projects understand what Zhao Huaizhong and Lu Buwei meant.
Both of them are from a higher strategic perspective, laying the foundation for the world, so they agree to repair the water conservancy.
There is no right or wrong in this matter, but the differences arising from different perspectives on the issue.
Zhao Huai finished his words, and Lu Buwei looked up at him, his eyes flashing.
This is the first time Zhao Huaizhong has spoken out at the court meeting, standing on a united front with Lu Buwei.
And the two of them are the two most influential to King Zhuangxiang.
King Zhuangxiang listened to the analysis of his son and Lu Buwei, and he was inclined to build a water conservancy, but he did not make a decision on the spot.
However, both Lu Buwei and Zhao Huaizhong knew that the construction of water conservancy was in all likelihood.
The meeting has dispersed.
When Zhao Huaizhong left, he thought to himself: Here, the repair of the Zhengguo Canal is obviously faster than in the inherent history. Start preparations now, and the soil will be loosened in the spring of next year, and the ground will be broken.
In the inherent history, Zheng Guoqu has been repaired for ten years, obviously it doesn't take that long in this world, after all, people who practice are giant monsters.
With the means far beyond the power of nature, the repair of Zheng Guoqu will definitely be greatly shortened. The specific time is not easy to estimate, but it will not exceed three or five years at most.
"In the history of China, Zheng Guo entered Qin as a spy, concealed the purpose of the Koreans, and persuaded the Qin people to repair the canal. It seems that some deviations have occurred here, and the construction of the Zheng Guo Canal has become a conspiracy. When Zheng Guo was lobbying, he was not too obscure.
This is only reasonable, otherwise this Manchu civil and military, how can no one see that this is a Korean plan? "
The setting sun falls late, and the night begins to fall.
In the darkness of night, the black bird soars, as if it were shuttled among the stars.
Zhao Huaizhong and Jiang Jing, who was wearing a thin moon-white jacket, were walking on the street.
The girl's delicate face is full of smiles, and her eyes are bright under the thick eyelashes like small brushes.
The red fructose string "invented" by Zhao Huaizhong, that is, candied haws, is currently popular in Xianyang.
Jiang Yan also took a bunch in his hand, and handed the other bunch he bought to Zhao Huaizhong.
Seeing Zhao Huaizhong take it and take a bite, Jiang Yan immediately narrowed her eyes and smiled softly.
In the evening, Zhao Huaizhong sent her back to Huacaoju, returned to the Prince's Mansion, and took out the ghost-faced bronze medal.
stretched out his hand, and the ghost in it appeared silently, with his feet not touching the ground floating in the air, quite scary.
