Chapter 291 Dredge and maintain the spiritual canal(1/2)
I reported the latest news in Xianyang with my father every day, and by the way, I reported on what I couldn't make up for.
Zhao Qingrui left all the assessment matters to Li Si and the others. She has passed the exam several times, so she just needs to do the final inspection.
This year's assessment is even more difficult than last year's. Many people who got the test paper were stunned.
In the past few years, there have been many previous assessment papers and various mock exam questions in bookstores, and they have done a lot of them.
Those who can come to Xianyang to participate in the assessment are all full of confidence in themselves.
But now they got the test paper, and they suddenly had little confidence in themselves.
Zhao Qingrui looked at the memorials approved by Lu Zhi and the others, and suddenly, Zhao Qingrui's eyes narrowed.
Now that the Qin Dynasty is gradually becoming stable, the Ling Canal built before needs maintenance again. Officials near the Ling Canal wrote a letter to request the issuance of a corvee edict to clear and maintain the Ling Canal.
Is corvee service? Lingqu is extremely important to the Qin Dynasty.
The Lingqu connects the two major water systems of the Yangtze River and the Pearl River, forming a water transportation network spread throughout East and South China.
Moreover, it has played a positive role in consolidating national unity, strengthening political, economic and cultural exchanges between the north and the south, and strengthening exchanges between people of all ethnic groups.
The maintenance of the Lingqu canal is very necessary. This time, she wants to maintain it carefully and strive to avoid any problems within ten years. She does not want to recruit corvee services every year for repairs.
At the court meeting on the second day, Zhao Qingrui sat on his head with a cold expression, "Everyone, the Ling Canal is now silted, and the river bank also needs to be maintained. The importance of the Ling Canal does not need me and you to explain in detail."
Zhao Qingrui looked at the officials below and found that there was still not enough manpower, and even the Censorate had too few manpower.
The annual assessment is not frequent, but it is also quite frequent. There are still not much improvements in the situation of the officials of Daqin.
"Your Highness, the maintenance of Lingqu is urgent. Please issue an edict." Li Si said respectfully. If something happened to Lingqu, it would be a huge loss for the Qin Dynasty.
"I'm going to discuss it." The others hurriedly said.
They were able to become officials safely because of the stability of the Qin Dynasty. If the Qin Dynasty was unstable, they would naturally not have a good life.
"Since that's the case, the imperial edict will be issued in a short time. Who has the experience of the officials who are willing to go there?" Zhao Qingrui glanced at everyone.
She remembered that the Lingqu was built by Li Bing and his son. Now that Li Bing has died, his son is still in this court.
In this era, probably no one knows more about Lingqu than them.
"When you go back to your highness, I am willing to go there. Lingqu was the first and my father was responsible for digging. I know better about Lingqu affairs." Li Yu took the initiative to stand up. Li Yu was the first Li Erlang.
Seeing Li Yu, Zhao Qingrui was very satisfied. Li Yu was able to stand up on his own initiative and didn't have to lobby her more.
"Since that's the case, Lord Li is responsible for this matter. I will choose two more deputys for you. I can't tired Lord Li anymore." Zhao Qingrui said seriously.
"I thank you for your kindness." Li Yu said respectfully. He is getting older and cannot be compared with when he was young. If he left it all to him, he will have more things to be busy with.
The Li family’s juniors didn’t have many talented people, and they still needed his support. He could not have died early.
Then, Zhao Qingrui sent two young people who were steady in doing things to Li Yu.
After the court meeting, Zhao Qingrui called Li Yu and the others to Zhangtai Palace.
"This time I ask you to maintain the Lingqu, and there is another very important thing for you to do." Zhao Qingrui looked at the few people seriously.
"Your Highness, please give me the order, I am willing to share your worries." Li Yu said calmly.
Since Zhao Qingrui took office, Lingqu has been maintained several times, but it is not as solemn as this time.
"You guys should know about cement. The houses outside Xianyang are all built with cement."
"I've seen that cement is a divine object related to construction." Li Yu
He said respectfully that this thing is indeed a good thing, and it was taken out by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
"I want to clear the Lingqu Canal and change the maintenance of the shore to cement. I have asked the people from the Shaofu to make all their efforts to make cement. At that time, the maintenance of the Lingqu Canal will be given priority." Zhao Qingrui said calmly.
.
"It is said that this cement is expensive and is fully used to maintain the embankment. Is the loss to the national treasury too much?" Li Yu hesitated.
Of course, he wanted to use such good materials and cement to maintain the dam, so that he would not have to worry about flooding the dam.
"This is not a difficult task. The people from the Shaofu family have developed a way to reduce costs, so you can use it with confidence." Zhao Qingrui said seriously.
"By the way, there is another thing, we need to do a good job of measuring water level. If you do this, then..." Zhao Qingrui told Li Yu about the importance of measuring water level and asked him to maintain it in various places.
, tell people near the waters these common sense.
Li Yu widened his eyes, but he didn't expect this to happen. If the water level measurement is done well, the flood can be prevented and controlled in advance, reducing the losses caused by floods.
"Your Highness is smart, I admire you, and you don't worry, I will promote this method so that the Guizhou leader near the waters will benefit." Li Yu said seriously.
He knew that His Highness was smart before, but he didn't expect that she had such experience in water control. It was so great that he didn't have to worry that the monarch would pretend to understand and command randomly.
"This is not what I thought of. I heard from others. In the past few days, you will make a maintenance plan and prepare the materials for Shaofu. Before the things are ready, make the plan first.
, avoid missing any time." Zhao Qingrui waved his hand and did not take credit.
"Your Highness is wise, I will go back and make the plan well and give it a look for you at that time." Li Yu nodded seriously. This highness is well-organized and humble in his work. The future of the Qin Dynasty is bright.
After seeing off Li Yu and the others, Zhao Qingrui took out a map, and the Lingqu communicated with the Xiangjiang River and Li River, and opened up the north-south water channel.
This is just the original Ling Canal. It has not been expanded by generations, but only the artificial canal connecting the Xiangjiang River and the Lijiang River.
However, there are still many places in Daqin that lack water, and the construction of artificial rivers still needs to be continued, so the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal in later generations is very necessary.
But now there are still too few Guizhou leaders, and the national strength needs to continue and we need to continue to recuperate.
Of course, if you can make more tools, such as excavators, you can reduce a lot of things.
However, I can only think about it for a while, at least it is unrealistic now.
There are also system malls, but she can no longer afford it now. She spent all her small vaults by buying two mobile phones.
Even if she has points, she won’t buy it. Such things can be made sooner or later, and there is no need to spend this in vain.
She really wants to do infrastructure now, but Daqin's situation doesn't allow her to do it too much, otherwise the stable Daqin will fall into the state of collapse of his father before, so wouldn't her efforts be in vain?
Alas, I can only take it slowly.
There are still many things I want to do. The current money from the treasury cannot support her in doing infrastructure, and the Guizhou Head is not enough.
Thinking about this, Zhao Qingrui felt uncomfortable.
I hope my dad can defeat the tribes of the Xiongnu Yuezhi as soon as possible, so that a large number of prisoners of war and slaves will be added.
At that time, these people will be exiled to build everything they want.
I silently cheered my father up, and at this time, Shangjun won the battle with less and had a lot of morale, and even Ying Zheng was very happy.
Taking Meng Tian and Li Xin on the Great Wall, looking at the grassland outside the Great Wall, and after they were captured, they must wrap up this place and raise more cattle, sheep and horses, so that Hetao can be a base for raising horses.
, raise countless war horses for the Qin Dynasty.
Touching the sword around his waist, if Meng Tian and the others had not persuaded him, he would have wanted to lead the army to kill the tribes of the Huns.
"Your Majesty should not be careless. Today's Hun Khan is the son of Touman Khan, unlike
Touman Shanyu, this Maodun Shanyu is definitely a vicious wolf." Meng Tian still attaches great importance to this Maodun Shanyu.
"I know, how great it would be if such a talent would be born in my Great Qin." Ying Zheng sighed.
"Your Majesty, the Qin Dynasty is full of talents now, why should you worry?" Li Xin said respectfully.
Since he came to Shangjun, he has discovered that there are many outstanding generals in the army, and even he can't help but admire.
The general Han Xin was extremely wise and brave, Chu Yan was brave, and Fenghai City transferred from Lingnan, who killed the Huns and killed one by one.
There are still many such talents. When the war officially begins, this battlefield will be their world.
When you get old, you can't accept it. Li Xin sighed in his heart.
Fortunately, such generals are all from the Qin Dynasty. If they are enemies, it will be troublesome.
However, since he practiced that physical training method, he could also feel his improvement. When His Majesty agreed, he could lead his troops to attack the Huns.
"Li Qing is talking about it." Looking at the soldiers who were upright and on duty, Ying Zheng was in a better mood. With such a Qin Ruishi, what's the difficulty of unifying the entire world?
"Report." Just as the few people were talking, the scout ran back quickly on his horse.
"What did you find?" Meng Tian immediately walked over and asked.
"Return to your Majesty, General Meng, and found the traces of the Huns. A small wave of people were sneaking into the border of the Great Wall with unknown intentions." The scout said respectfully, and quickly reported the information he found.
The Huns were going to sneak into the Great Wall? What did they want to do? Meng Tian frowned unconsciously.
"Continue to investigate, come and report immediately if there is any information." Meng Tian looked at the scout seriously and said.
"No." The scout took the order and left.
Meng Tian came over and reported the information to Ying Zheng.
"Order the Ruis on duty on the Great Wall to strengthen their vigilance and increase the number of people on duty to avoid being raided by the enemy." Ying Zheng said in a deep voice.
The situation on the Huns was not very clear. There was not much news from Sui Shicong, and the Huns were also under martial law, so it was even more difficult for him to pass on the news.
Now it has only been a formal test, and it has been a few small fights, but the two armies have not yet officially confronted each other.
In the evening, a sharp sword shot above the city gate, with a roll of sheepskin hanging on it.
Meng Tian sent the sheepskin to Ying Zheng, "Your Majesty, it's a letter of war, and it is agreed that the two armies will confront each other in three days."
To be continued...
