Wei Liao stroked his beard and smiled. This kid was indeed not simple. Although he didn't know how to build canals, he knew how to judge people.
Meng Ling knew very well that people who were guilty had no confidence in themselves. However, she could see the confidence in Zheng Guo's eyes and his enthusiasm for this project that would benefit future generations.
Meng Ling nodded secretly and turned to King Qin."Father, there is no problem with the State of Zheng. Although he is a spy sent by the King of Han, as he said, the Qin Cang Kingdom will benefit from this project. The only problem now is how long it will take to build this canal.”
Everyone looked at the State of Zheng. The State of Zheng pondered for a moment before saying,"It will take at least ten years."”
King Qin's gaze suddenly turned cold, like an unsheathed sword, piercing straight into his heart.："Ten years, in ten years, I would have unified the six states. Men, take the State of Zheng away.”
The two Imperial Army warriors shouted angrily and pressed down on the shoulders of the State of Zheng, turning to leave.
Wei Liao looked at the State of Zheng with pity. This old man can't save you now. King Qin can't wait ten years.
"Wait." Meng Ling looked at the map, her eyes following the mountains and rivers."State of Zheng, tell me, if we build a stone dam in the valley, how long will it take to build the canal out of the North Mountain?”
Two Imperial Army warriors escorted the State of Zheng to the map. The State of Zheng looked at it for a while and said,""If I have enough manpower and resources, I can build the North Mountain in a year.”
Meng Ling laughed and said,"That's enough." She turned around and saw two imperial guards guarding the State of Zheng."Hurry up and let go. Can you afford to be punished for hurting Daxian?。”
The two Imperial Army warriors released their hands. Meng Ling bowed to King Qin and said,"Father, please come down the jade steps."
King Qin silently walked down the imperial steps and looked at the map. Everyone gathered around him."Father, please take a look. After the canal is built, there is a plain. If the plain is divided into four parts, each part has 10,000 hectares of land. In other words, as long as the north mountain is built in a year, it can irrigate 10,000 hectares of land. The remaining canal is the longest and takes the longest time to build.”
King Qin and the others did not understand, but the State of Zheng's eyes lit up."Young Master's intention is to divide this canal into 10 sections, with one section to be built and the other to be filled with water.”
Meng Ling nodded and said," That's right. We're just building a few more dams, but we can see the effect in the first year. If you're not honest and the canal built in the first year can't be used smoothly, I'll really chop off your head."”
Li Si looked at Meng Ling in admiration and bowed.""Young Master, you're so clever.”
Wei Liao laughed loudly," Only Young Master can think of such a trick. Ten thousand hectares of fertile land is enough to feed the army for a year. As the canal is extended, more and more fertile land will be produced, and the grain will be piled up like a mountain.”
Meng Ling was a little ashamed. She was just standing on the shoulders of giants and learning the method of water diversion from the south to the north.
The State of Zheng held Jiang Lu's hand, wishing that he could immediately go and build the canal.
The king was delighted and praised him.
Wang Jian and General Meng looked at Jiang Lu as if they were looking at a demon. This kid was simply an omniscient and omnipotent existence.
Meng Ling rubbed her nose and smiled bitterly. It wasn't that I was too smart, but that there was too little knowledge in this era. He turned to King Qin and asked,"Father, do you plan to let the imprisoned country off easily?"”
King Qin knew that his son was quick-witted and thoughtful, so he asked with a smile,"Your child has something to say. This one's brain is not as fast as yours.”
Meng Ling pointed at the map and smiled." Yangnan of the imprisoned country is adjacent to our country. Father, you should send a good speaker to the imprisoned country. Tell them that the Zheng country has failed and the Qin King has decided to send troops to attack the imprisoned country in a rage. If the imprisoned country gives up Yangnan to compensate for the Qin Cang country's losses, the Qin King can choose not to send troops. The Han King is a coward and will definitely cede territory and sue for peace. The land of Yangnan could be taken by father.”
"But this must be done after the State of Zheng starts building the canal."”
King Qin looked at Jiang Lu and Wei Liao and laughed,""With the two of you, the Qin Cang Kingdom will be unified with half the effort.”
The State of Zheng was drenched in cold sweat. This was a complete robbery. This young master was really not a good person. But no matter what, his head was saved.
King Qin walked back to the jade steps and sat at the imperial table. His gaze swept across the ministers."Qinliang, order the Moon Goddess of the Yinyang School, Great Si Ming, to pay an audience.”
Everyone was confused. At this time, why did King Qin pass on the Yin Yang School's Moon Goddess, Great Si Ming? General Meng whispered about how Moon Goddess and Great Si Ming had rescued General Lu from the dragon python's stomach.
Everyone looked at Jiang Lu with shock. This kid was actually so lucky.
Li Si and Wei Liao were even more emotional. When they met the Second Young Master Jiang Lu at the city gate, he had just escaped from a disaster and saved them from danger. The two of them walked over and bowed to Jiang Lu."Wei Liao Li Si will forever remember the kindness of Young Master.”
Meng Ling hurriedly supported the two of them." Both of you are great talents of the country. As the second young master of the Qin Cang Kingdom, Jiang Lu naturally has the obligation to recruit talents for the Qin Cang Kingdom.”"You've already agreed to be my teacher. Paying respects to me would be killing you."”
Wei Liao laughed,"This old man is greedy for credit."”
Only then did King Qin know that Jiang Lu had already found a teacher for him, but Wei Liao was a great talent and was more than enough to teach Jiang Lu.
Not long after, Yueshen and Great Si Ming arrived at the palace.
King Qin looked at the ministers and said," Wei Liao will be the High Minister, Li Si will be the Chief of the Court, and the State of Zheng will be the Water Engineer. He will be in charge of supervising the construction of the canal.
The Imperial Advisor, Yueshen, and the Imperial Advisor, Great Si Ming, still had no residence in the Imperial Capital, so Lu Shiwei's mansion was given to Yueshen, and Great Si Ming became the Imperial Advisor's mansion. As for General Lu, I really don't know what to give you.”
Jiang Lu was the second son of King Qin. If he was not conferred the title of Marquis, he would be conferred the title of Duke. However, this kid was too young. He was only in his teens.
Meng Ling also knew that King Qin was in a difficult position. She bowed and said,"I want to join the Yin-Yang School, so I don't have anything. In case I have no money to use and am poor.”
His words made everyone laugh. If the Qin Cang Kingdom's Second Young Master was poor and destitute, how could others live?
The king nodded and smiled.”
Jiang Lu glanced at the graceful, noble and holy Moon Goddess and the plump and exquisite Great Si Ming. He understood the principle of 'the pavilion closest to the water gets the moon first', so he smiled and said,""I beseech Father to allow me to live in the Grand Tutor's residence. I can ask the Grand Tutor for his Yin Yang spell techniques at any time.”# Date:07 26 2019 6:31PM
