At this moment.
Outside Xianyang City, by the Zhang River.
Ying Zheng and all the ministers were stunned, staring at the tube-shaped carriages and the water pipes in the distance.
It was simply ingenious!
Only to see.
The huge tube-shaped cart rotated under the influence of the water flow. When the buckets on the tube-shaped cart approached the water pipe, the water in the buckets naturally fell and flowed to the place where it was needed through the water pipe.
Hundreds of waterwheels were working at the same time on the bank of the Zhang River. The water was like a waterfall that kept pouring into the water pipes.
The scene was spectacular!
With these things, with the Zhang River as the center, the farmland within a radius of 100 miles did not need to worry about irrigation at all.
The drought was naturally solved!
"Cai! Cai! Cai!"
"Hahaha!"
"This scene is truly uncanny and magnificent. This design was even more ingenious and exquisite!”
"With this irrigation project, Great Qin's ten thousand hectares of fertile farmland will no longer have to worry about drought!”
Looking at the huge tube-shaped carriages and the endless water pipes on the bank of the Zhang River, Ying Zheng could not help but cheer loudly and laugh at the sky, expressing the excitement in his heart.
"This water conservancy project is just as Your Majesty said. It's a divine work!”
"I reckon that only I, the number one strategist in the world, can think of such a divine item!”
Li Si couldn't help but praise loudly.
Li Si, who had already made up his mind to support Zhao Qiu, would not let go of any opportunity to help Zhao Qiu increase his reputation!
"Yes! That's right!"
"Zhao Neishi is really a god!"
"I admire you! I admire you!"
"This one's admiration for Lord Internal Historian is like a river that flows endlessly!”
......
The ministers echoed Li Si's words and expressed their admiration for Zhao Qiu. Their eyes were filled with admiration!
It was too amazing!
It was too awesome!
It was too magical!
As expected of the number one strategist on the Heaven Roll!
He was probably the only one with such wisdom!
The Zhang River was only a small part of this irrigation project, and this scene was still happening on the other rivers of the Great Qin Empire.
Countless people in the world looked at the dried up streams and rivers that had become filled with water. They all let out earth-shaking cheers!
Some people even knelt down beside the stream to thank Zhao Qiu when they saw the water source.
Zhao Qiu's irrigation project had saved the lives of countless people!
If not for Zhao Qiu's irrigation project, the harvest would not even be 10% of what it was normally!
At that time, who knew how many people would starve to death!
Among the people.
The farmers who had obtained water to irrigate their crops looked at the gradually recovering crops. Many people spontaneously set up longevity tablets for Zhao Qiu and paid their respects every day!
In their eyes, Zhao Qiu's methods were like that of a god!
Some places even portrayed Zhao Qiu as a water god sent by the heavens, mobilizing the water of rivers and lakes to save the people of the world!
Time passed day by day.
Under Zhao Qiu's method of governance, the drought was greatly alleviated, and the locust plague had long disappeared without a trace.
This terrifying catastrophe had finally subsided.
Zhao Qiu had become the biggest winner!
He had obtained a reputation that countless people would not be able to obtain in their entire lives. Everyone in the Great Qin Empire knew about him!
It was enough to be considered famous in the world!
Zhangtai Palace, in the main hall.
A new day had begun. The civil and military officials stood on the left and right as they began the morning court meeting.
"Court!"
Zhao Gao's sharp voice rang out in the hall.
The group of civil and military officials bowed to Ying Zheng, who was sitting on the throne.
"Your Majesty, ten thousand years!"
"Ten thousand years of Great Qin!"
"No need for formalities!"
"Rise!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
After a round of benefits, the court session was about to begin. Many officials could not help but cast their gazes on Zhao Qiu.
It was filled with worship, admiration, admiration, envy, jealousy, and countless other complicated emotions.
Today's court meeting was a summary of the drought and locust plague from before.
They naturally knew that the main character today was Zhao Qiu, the hero who had resolved the drought and locust plague!
He was already one of the nine ministers at such a young age!
Now, he had made such a monstrous contribution!
I wonder what kind of reward His Majesty will give him today?
It really made people envious!
"Left Prime Minister, please report the situation regarding the drought and locust plague.”
Ying Zheng called out to Li Si.
This action made Feng Quji's heart skip a beat, and he had a bad feeling.
Logically speaking, his position as the Right Prime Minister was higher than Li Si's Left Prime Minister, so he should be the one reporting on such matters!
It was only when the Right Prime Minister was not present and could not report to the court that it was the Left Prime Minister's turn.
And now, His Majesty had directly bypassed him, the Right Prime Minister, and asked Li Si, the Left Prime Minister, to report. This was not a good sign!
"Yes!"
When Li Si heard Ying Zheng asking him to come out and make a report, he was instantly excited and stood up excitedly.
Perhaps…
His position was going to rise!
This was all because of Bai Gongzi Qiu!
It seemed that he had made the right bet!
"Your Majesty!"
"According to the information provided by the various county governors, all the rivers in Great Qin have been constructed with tube-shaped vehicles and laid with water pipes, allowing countless fertile fields to be watered!”
"The drought is completely under control!”
"As for the locust plague, Your Majesty doesn't know. The locusts are now priceless and are almost eaten up by the people of Great Qin!”
"The drought and the locust plague were completely eliminated under the method of internal history Zhao, saving countless lives!”
"This merit shook the world. Your Majesty, please reward me!”
Li Si summarized the situation regarding the drought and locust plague to Ying Zheng, and did not forget to brag about Zhao Qiu's achievements, asking him to confer him a title.
"Hahaha!"
"I didn't expect that the great calamity that has caused people's expressions to change since ancient times would be resolved so easily!”
"Internal Secretary Zhao is really the savior of Great Qin!”
"Just as my beloved minister said, this contribution shocked the world and the heavens.”
"Internal Secretary Zhao, listen up!"
"Your humble subject is here!" Zhao Qiu immediately stepped forward and replied.
"Zhao Qiu, the internal historian of Zhi Li, has unparalleled wisdom. He has pacified the drought, dealt with the locust plague, and saved the people of the world from fire and water.”
"You will be granted the title of Marquis of the Inner Pass, a thousand households, ten thousand gold, and a hundred servants!”
With a wave of his hand, Ying Zheng gave out an unimaginable reward to countless ministers!
Hiss--
Hearing such a reward, countless officials could not help but gasp. Their hearts were instantly in turmoil and they were extremely shocked!
Heavens!
He was actually conferred the title of Inner Marquis!
How was this possible?
