Just when Ying Gao's thoughts were changing, the ministers of the seven departments all agreed with Da Tian Ling's request.
After all, they have the same interests, and Wang Wan is an official promoted by the King of Qin. At this time, the party struggle in the Qin court has begun to take shape.
They were suppressing Wang Wan, and the aristocratic family had gained a certain strength. After King Huiwen, the aristocratic family once again rose to prominence.
"I have objections."
Wang Wan, the chief historian who was recording the court proceedings, suddenly put down his writing and raised his head, interrupting Ying Gao who was about to get up.
"Your Majesty, the Jing diversion project has been started for many years. Although it has not had much effect yet, the matter is of great importance and I believe that the people should not be dismissed."
"The words of a long history are not in line with the current national conditions and are not in line with economic principles."
Ying Gao stood up and was interrupted again. Da Tian Ling smiled coldly. Chang Shi Wang Wan was too young and lacked weight. It was extremely obvious at this moment.
"The way of economics is like cooking small delicacies, which must be accumulated bit by bit. Only in this way can we achieve full success. If we are too happy to succeed in this matter, it will inevitably lead to a national disaster."
"It took us, the Qin Dynasty, six lifetimes to divert the Jing water out of the mountains, but it took us six lifetimes to complete it. The reason is that the project to divert the Jing water out of the mountains was too big for our country, the Qin Dynasty, to bear."
"It is precisely because the Jingdong diversion project is so large that a long-term mitigation plan is even more needed. At present, a severe drought is approaching, and hungry people are sweeping across the Qin Dynasty. Gathering people's strength to urgently dig ditches to fight the drought is the first priority."
"It is in vain to be greedy and gather more than 200,000 people in the mountains and fields. Once the food rations are in short supply, there will be chaos among the hungry people. At that time, natural disasters and man-made disasters will cause internal and external difficulties. Where will our country, the Qin Dynasty, go?"
"Ota's words make sense."
The seven ministers once again spoke in unison and used their practical actions to support the Order of Daejeon.
When Ying Gao heard this, he already knew that a storm was secretly unfolding against the Qin Dynasty and the government of the Qin Dynasty. As soon as he thought of this, Ying Gao stood up.
"My son is also opposed to shelving the Jing diversion project!" Ying Gao looked solemn and bowed deeply to Qin Wangzheng.
At this moment, the Minister of the Seventh Department looked gloomy, but Wang Wan, the chief minister beside him, breathed a sigh of relief. He knew in his heart that he alone could not stop these people.
Now the only possibility is Ying Gao.
"oh?"
At this moment, Qin Wangzheng was about to stop, but when he saw Ying Gao suddenly interrupting, he couldn't help but frowned and said: "Give me a reason?"
"Father, the project to divert the Jing River is huge and has already begun, and it has reached a critical moment. At this time, repatriating the civilians will indeed be of certain help in fighting the drought."
"But it is easy to repatriate 200,000 people. It will be more troublesome to gather again. Going back and forth will not only take more time, but also consume more resources."
"I thought that instead of letting 200,000 civilians fight the drought, it would be better to insist on continuing the diversion project and order 200,000 Lantian Camp troops to fight the drought."
…
"boom……"
Ying Gao's words immediately caused a greater panic in the entire court. At this moment, not only the civil officials were panicked, but the military generals were also opposed.
"Your Majesty, soldiers, important matters of the country, the place of life and death, the way of survival..."
…
Qin Wangzheng frowned slightly when he saw that only a few people, including Ying Gao and Wang Wan, were left in the entire court, and the rest were in opposition.
Seeing that Ying Gao still wanted to refute, Qin Wangzheng shook his head and said: "Don't argue about this matter anymore, we will decide it later. All ministers should go back to their offices first and act immediately according to the decision just made."
"I will obey the edict!"
…
Watching the civil and military officials keep leaving, Ying Gao shook his head helplessly. He knew in his heart that if he wanted to survive this severe drought, the great Qin warriors would definitely end up.
According to his train of thought, the warriors of Great Qin, just like that army, rushed to the front line to reverse the course of time with manpower.
Ying Gao's face was as sinking as water. He knew that there was another thing besides this, and that was war.
Since ancient times, war has often been the only way to resolve internal conflicts, distract people's attention, and divert disasters.
…
After all the officials left, there were only four people left in the entire Xianyang Palace. Apart from Zhao Gao, they were Ying Gao, Wang Wan, and the superior Qin Wang Zheng.
"Wang Wan, what do you mean by what you said just now about the seriousness of this matter?" Qin Wangzheng's eyes flashed and he said to Wang Wan.
Hearing this, Wang Wan's eyes flickered for a moment, and when he was about to blurt out his words, he immediately took it back.
At this moment, Wang Wan originally planned to report Lu Buwei's overall plan for the Jing diversion project and the final message to Zheng Guo to the King of Qin.
Just when the words were about to come out, he changed his mind and said to Qin Wangzheng: "I believe that this matter is related to the long-term plan of our great Qin Dynasty, so I should recall Li Si, the Prime Minister of Hequ, to discuss it."
"Um."
Nodding, Qin Wangzheng waved his hand: "Go quickly, Li Si should indeed be recalled for this matter!"
"promise."
…
With a nod of agreement, Wang Wan turned around and left Xianyang Palace, leaving only Ying Gao and Qin Wangzheng staring at each other.
"You also think that the 200,000 civilians working on the Jing Diversion Project should not be repatriated?" After a moment of silence, Qin Wangzheng couldn't help but said.
After hearing this, Ying Gao was silent for a long time, and he organized his words in his mind: "Father, a severe drought is sweeping across the Qin Dynasty, and water has become a common topic of anxious discussion in both the government and the public."
"This sudden severe drought has made the prosperous Guanzhong our Great Qin's weakness for the first time."
"In this way, we can see the importance of this Jing diversion project. As long as the Jing diversion project is completed, the 800-mile Qinchuan River will become a granary no less than Bashu."
"Whether it is for my father's unification of the six countries or for my great Qin Dynasty, the Jing diversion project cannot be stopped."
"Guanzhong is our homeland of Great Qin. There is Hangu Pass, the best pass in the world. As long as a large army is deployed across Hangu Pass and Wuguan, we can ensure that our homeland of Great Qin will not be lost."
"In my opinion, as long as Guanzhong is as stable as Mount Tai, even if there are any changes in the future, Da Qin can still make a comeback."
"What's more, such a severe drought may not be the only one. Once the Jingdong diversion project is completed, it will be a great benefit for decades or hundreds of years."
"So, at this time, we cannot be short-sighted and stop the Jing diversion project that is already at a critical moment."
…
"Um."
King Qin's political intelligence was quick and he could fully understand Ying Gao's words. At this moment, he nodded: "What you said makes sense, but if the drought continues now, there will be big problems. Have you ever thought about this?"
Hearing this, Ying Gao's eyes were as bright as a torch, and a trace of bloodlust flashed deep in his eyes: "I think this matter can be easily solved. The two hundred thousand Qin warriors are a sharp sword, enough to cut through all obstacles."
"Whether it's a large army going out to provide disaster relief, or a large army pointing swords outside the pass, this matter can be solved in a short time..."
