Chapter 187 Jingshui Taotao, recasting the character of the Qin people.
Li Huan was silent for a long time, doing some calculations in his mind, and then said to Ying Zheng: "Your Majesty, Zheng Guoqu, the direct beneficiary reaches twenty-three counties, and the indirect beneficiary is eight hundred miles away from Qinchuan."
"According to official statistics, there are more than 4.6 million acres of dry land in Guanzhong. After the opening of the Zhengguo Canal this time, it will become a fertile field with guaranteed harvests despite droughts and floods!"
"The more than two million acres of saline-alkali land on both sides of the Wei River will undergo earth-shaking changes and become fertile farmland after three to five years of irrigation."
"In an ordinary year, if one hour of grain is produced per acre, the national treasury can accumulate at least 300,000 dendrobium of millet every year. In five or six years, Guanzhong will be richest in the world!"
…
This is the self-confidence and pride of Li Huan and others. Looking at the Jingshui River entering Luo, they dare to say that in five or six years, Guanzhong will be richest in the world.
Hearing this, Ying Gao also looked solemn. Ying Zheng was catching up with the water, and it was not like he had done nothing. During this period, Ying Gao and Tie Ying inspected the water canals in various counties.
He naturally knew that Zheng Guoqu did have the capital to ensure harvests despite droughts and floods.
The Jingshui River Canal is not just a main canal, but a water network woven by more than 3,000 branch canals. It can be said that Zheng Guo spent ten years to compile a huge water network in the 800-mile Qinchuan River.
Nature has been changed with human power.
"Zhao Gao prepares the car and goes to see the salt-alkali land!" After thinking for a long time, Ying Zheng gave the order decisively.
The saline-alkali land has been a problem for the Qin Dynasty since Xiaogong. Both Lord Shang and subsequent prime ministers had planned to deal with it, but it was either bad luck or ill-fated.
So much so that the saline-alkali land in the entire Great Qin has never been resolved. This is a sore point for the entire Great Qin government and everyone. At this moment, Ying Zheng naturally cares.
"Father, I think that the inspection of the saline-alkali land can be done by Hequcheng. Father should return to Xianyang as soon as possible and take charge of the capital!"
At this moment, Ying Gao's eyes were as bright as a torch. Since ancient times, no king has ever stayed away from the capital for a long time. This is undoubtedly very dangerous for a country.
Moreover, Ying Zheng was reduced to a handful of bones, which made Ying Gao feel a little unbearable. He pondered for a moment and said: "Father, only when the Qin Dynasty is stable can everything go according to father's wishes."
"Now the eyes of the entire Central Plains are on Da Qin, and also on my father. Therefore, my father cannot make any mistakes!"
Seeing Ying Gao speak, Wang Wan, who had this intention in mind, quickly stood up and said: "Your Majesty, I also mean the same thing. Now that the canal has been completed, it is important for the king to return to Xianyang. The salt-alkali beach issue will definitely be dealt with by the county offices.
Play it truthfully!"
"As the prince said, the king has been away from the capital for too long. If he continues to delay, trouble may occur. I ask the king to return to Xianyang!"
"I invite your Majesty to return to Xianyang!"
At this moment, all the ministers in the shogunate unanimously advised Ying Zheng, because they all knew that Ying Zheng's body needed to recuperate at this moment and needed the medical order to recuperate.
Otherwise, if this continues, the young King Qin's body will collapse.
"Okay, okay!"
At this moment, Ying Zheng shook his head helplessly. He naturally knew what everyone was thinking, but at this moment, he still felt unwilling.
"Gongzi Gao, Wang Wan, Meng Tian, and Lao Tingwei followed Gu back to Xianyang. Li Si and Zheng Guo traveled to various counties, and by the way, they explored the entire Zheng Guo Canal!"
