Due to Ying Gao's deliberate posture, at this time, there was harmony in the study, as if it was like this. They were either knowledgeable or ambitious, and they were able to talk together.
After some pleasantries, everyone's expressions became solemn, whether it was Wang Wan, Li Si or even Zheng Guo.
For them, daily greetings are too ordinary. What they care about is Da Qin and the next Jing diversion project.
After all, the scope of their subsequent conversation is too wide, and it will even have a profound impact on this country. Once an accident occurs, Daqin will not be in trouble, but it will be in constant trouble.
By then, whether it is Ying Zheng, Zheng Guo, Li Si, or even Ying Gao and Wang Wan who are present today, they will all be in the crosshairs.
So much so that at this moment, almost everyone's expressions were silent. After all, the importance of this matter was self-evident, and it had a great impact on them.
Especially Li Si and Wang Wan, if they fail, it will have the greatest impact on them.
.........
Ying Zheng was a little embarrassed when he saw the scene. At this time, he did not speak, and it was estimated that the scene would continue to be embarrassing. His eyes flashed: "My dear friends, the Jing diversion project will be the next major event in the Qin Dynasty. What do you think?
"
"Your Majesty, I propose that Li Si serve as the canal commander, and then I serve as his deputy. Otherwise, the Jing diversion project cannot be completed in a short time." As the person with real power in the Jing diversion project, Zheng Guo's attitude is very important.
Moreover, Li Si was already the Prime Minister of He Qu, and it was normal for him to become the Prime Minister of He Qu. From Zheng Guo's point of view, Li Si was familiar with him and there was no barrier between them.
Once he takes office, Li Si will support some of his ideas, rather than hindering each other and causing trouble in the already difficult matter of regulating river channels.
Hearing this, Ying Zheng fell silent at this moment.
Li Si was good enough, but he always felt that there was still something missing. Ying Gao's eyes flickered underneath, and he looked at Zheng Guo and Li Si. He hesitated to speak. When the words reached his lips, he swallowed them again.
Li Si and Zheng Guo will both be important ministers of the Great Qin Empire in the future. If they speak at this time, no matter what they say, they will offend one of them.
Seeing Ying Gao hesitate to speak, at this moment, Ying Zheng deliberately passed Ying Gao away. He knew in his heart what it meant to answer the question at this time.
Ying Gao is the person he likes, and he is also the only one who has emerged among the many young masters in Da Qin. Although Ying Zheng is young, as a king, he has a far-sighted vision. He knows in his heart that Ying Gao is Da Qin's other young master.
A future.
In a world of great strife, life and death are just ordinary things.
Although the king is not as likely to die as the general, he is still very dangerous.
"If Zheng Guo is to serve as the river canal commander, sir, would you be willing to do so?" There was silence for a while, and at the end when everyone was uneasy, Ying Zheng spoke up and said.
Ying Zheng's words caused a sudden change in everyone's expressions. After all, it was unreasonable for Zheng Guo to be the Hequ Chief. In both circumstances, Li Si, who had been the Hequ Chief, should have taken the position directly, not Zheng Guo, the hydraulic engineer.
"I have no objection!"
After being slightly stunned, Li Si quickly answered. Although he was the Prime Minister of Hequ, it was the most normal operation to be directly promoted to the Order of Hequ, but when faced with Ying Zheng's inquiry, he answered with almost no hesitation.
He knew in his heart that since Ying Zheng made this choice, there must be a reason for doing so, and even so, as a minister, he could not compete with the king for official positions.
"The temple structure is going to be restored. How about completing the diversion project for the time being?" Ying Zheng's words moved both Ying Gao and Li Si. However, Li Si was moved, while Ying Gao was surprised. He was feeling sorry for Ying Zheng.
political wisdom.
...........
"Zheng Guo, how many people will be needed to reopen the Jingshui canal?"
As soon as this sentence came out, everyone turned their attention to Zheng Guo. It was obvious that everyone knew that 200,000 young and hungry hungry people were simply not enough to support the current Jing diversion project. They would inevitably gather people in the Qin Dynasty, and even this
The quantity is not small.
Under the eyes of everyone, Zheng Guo looked solemn. He thought for a long time in his heart, and then said to Ying Zheng: "Your Majesty, there is no exact number of people required for the Jing diversion project. The specific amount required depends on the King.
It depends on the picture!”
Zheng Guo's words immediately aroused Ying Zheng's curiosity, and he couldn't help but ask Zheng Guo: "What's different about the river canal order? Can you explain it in detail?"
"Your Majesty, if you want to complete the project in ten years, you only need to follow Marquis Wenxin's method, slowly carry out the work, and do what you can, with fifty thousand people."
"If you want to complete it as soon as possible, you need to start the entire process. It will require at least five to six hundred thousand people, or even one million people. As for how to make decisions, it will all be decided by the king!"
Although Zheng Guo gave the choice to Ying Zheng, Ying Gao knew in his heart that Ying Zheng was known as the emperor of the ages. Such a person would not be content with his own affairs. Ying Zheng was Qin Shi Huang, after all, he was not Qin Xiaogong.
How to complete it quickly is Ying Zheng's choice.
Ying Gao knew in his heart that if there was no way to complete it quickly, Ying Zheng would naturally follow Wen Xinhou's method and proceed step by step.
But at this moment, Zheng Guo gave Ying Zheng another possibility, and Ying Zheng naturally would not let it go.
At this moment, everyone in the study looked solemn. Li Si, Ying Gao and Wang Wan were different from Zheng Guo. Naturally, they knew that gathering hundreds of thousands of people was not something Ying Zheng could say. The court was complicated and complicated. At this moment,
Ying Zheng still has no absolute authority.
Instead, a decision needs to be made after one fight after another. At this moment, everyone turned their attention to Ying Zheng, waiting for Ying Zheng to explain the difficulties, and then jointly plan how to deal with it.
"A severe drought has swept through the entire Qin Dynasty. At this moment, the Jing diversion project must not be delayed any longer. Sir, if there are millions of people, will it be completed and released within a year?" At this moment, Ying Zheng burst out with the decisiveness of being the emperor for eternity.
, not everyone has such courage.
After all, a severe drought has swept across the Qin Dynasty. This is the time when the Qin Dynasty is most critical, with millions of people at every turn, which is terrifying.
After Ying Zheng finished speaking, Li Si and others were still in astonishment. Zheng Guo stood up suddenly and bowed solemnly to Ying Zheng: "Your Majesty, the difficulty of diverting Jing is to open the canyon at Hukou."
"After ten years of exploration, I already have a good idea of the entire project. Your Majesty, if we can recruit millions of people, it will take at least two years for me to dig a four-hundred-mile-long canal for the Qin Dynasty!"
At this moment, Zheng Guo was full of confidence and carried an indomitable momentum.
Hearing this, Ying Zheng took a deep look at Zheng Guo, and then looked back at Li Si: "Is there any difficulty in recruiting people's power to the River Canal Department?"
