Da Qin: Destroyed the Xiongnu at the beginning

Julu County, Xindu County.

After the patrol fleet arrived at Songhai City, the First Emperor suddenly became interested in inspecting the three routes of the Northern Grand Canal. Therefore, the fleet entered the river again from the coastline and arrived at the sand dune platform on the edge of Zhangshui River for inspection.

"There should be Dune Palace in front of it, right?"

Looking at the inconspicuous mound on the shore, Ying Zheng put down the book in his hand and asked

"Exactly, this place is a plain created by the Zhangshui River. The land is mostly sandy, hence the name sand dune."

"In the old days of the Yin and Shang Dynasties, King Zhou built a large number of buildings here, built palaces, and collected all kinds of rare and exotic animals. He was extravagant and extravagant. The Yin Shang Dynasty, which was once prosperous for a while, also came to an end."

"After King Wuling of Zhao abdicated, he also spent the summer here.

As a result, Gongzi Zhang launched a mutiny in Handan in an attempt to seize the throne.

After the failure, he fled to the Sand Dune Palace and was trapped here with King Wuling of Zhao.

A generation of King Zhao actually starved to death here.

Dune Palace.

Dunruo frowned and said,"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince once said that the sand dunes are an ominous place.

We'd better leave here and continue our inspection in Handan!

""

"Anyway, two momentary heroes actually died in this place. It is indeed not an auspicious place!"

Ying Zheng thought for a while and gave up the idea of going to Sand Dune Palace.

Speaking of which, both the Yin Shang and the former Zhao Kingdom have a close relationship with the Qin Dynasty.

The ancestor of the Ying family came from the same tribe as the ancestor of the Yin Shang. , so they both use the black bird as their totem.

Qin and Zhao also share the same ancestry and origin, and they are both descendants of Boyi.���, the Da Qin royal family, so the surname is Zhao.

Now that the fall of two monarchs who were closely related to the Qin Dynasty were related to Sand Dune, Ying Zheng suddenly lost interest in Sand Dune.

And this was Fusu's dissuasion. Yingzheng didn't have to listen to other people's words, but Yingzheng still attached great importance to Fusu's words.

Dun Rui breathed a sigh of relief.

Before setting off, Fusu went to Dunruo specifically and told Dunruo that if Yingzheng wanted to stop at the Sand Dune Palace, he must stop it. He also gave the above set of words. Now Dunruo finally completed the task.

Dun Rui couldn't help but sigh secretly, only His Highness Fusu could change Ying Zheng's mind.

Moreover, Your Majesty has become much more tolerant than before.

This is definitely a blessing for Da Qin......

The patrol fleet continued down the river to Handan. Looking at the old capital of Zhao State, which was very different from the past, Ying Zheng couldn't help but feel strange again.

Although among the remnants of the Six Kingdoms in the past, Chu had the strongest opposition to Qin, the one who really had the greatest hatred for Lao Qin was actually Zhao.

Although the two royal families came from the same clan, they showed no mercy when they competed for world hegemony. On the contrary, they fought the most big battles because of their equal strength.

It was not until the Battle of Changping, when Bai Qi killed more than 300,000 Zhao soldiers, that the Zhao Kingdom quickly declined and never recovered.

Zhao, which once dominated the Central Plains in the past, has also been devastated after years of war. Not to mention Guanzhong and Jiangnan, even Shangjun is far inferior.

Even with the great development of commerce in Daqin, the people no longer had to worry about filling their stomachs, but the opportunities for work were far less than those in Guanzhong and Jiangnan. Many people simply moved their families to Guanzhong or Jiangnan to obtain more income.

Handan City, the former capital of Zhao, was now inferior to the county towns in Hanzhong due to the massive outflow of the population. The city walls were mottled due to disrepair.

Ying Zheng immediately understood that Fusu wanted to vigorously develop the Northern Grand Canal. If it continued to develop, the land of Yanzhao would truly decline.

Once the economy fails and the gap with other places is too large, the Yanzhao region will easily fall into turmoil, and the people's hearts, which have finally stabilized, are likely to change again.

Moreover, places such as Julu and Handan have many plains and are adjacent to the Zhangshui River. The geographical advantages are actually quite superior. As long as the Grand Canal is built and transportation is convenient, the economy will naturally be driven to grow.

It is also of great significance in terms of national defense.

"When can the construction of the Northern Grand Canal start?"

Ying Zheng was silent for a long time, and then suddenly asked

"At present, the exploration team of the Academy of Engineering has begun to carry out measurements, and it will take up to a month to come up with a specific plan. By then, the corresponding materials and personnel should be ready. It is expected that the construction can officially start in early May.

Feng Quji replied:"The construction of the Grand Canal this time has provided more than 200,000 employees in Julu and Handan counties alone. After the Grand Canal is completed, the industries it will drive will be able to continue these employees." After digestion, the people of both counties can become rich."

"So good!"

Ying Zheng breathed a sigh of relief.

Da Qin has become completely different from what it used to be.

Before it was replaced, it was difficult to build such a huge project even if all the treasury was spent.

When money and food were insufficient, If you want to dig a canal, you can only recruit people to do corvee work. Not only is it very inefficient, but it can also easily delay production and cause public resentment. A good thing turns into a bad thing.

However, now, due to the rapid development of commerce, the national treasury income has gradually become abundant, and corvee labor has also been changed to With the employment system and generous wages, the people no longer opposed the various projects of the imperial court, but strongly supported them, eager to join them.

The promotion of new crops such as potatoes also made millions of young people He was freed from land farming and vigorously invested in the construction of Daqin.

While making Daqin develop more rapidly, his family income also increased, truly achieving a win-win situation.

All of this, a few years ago, was still It is simply unimaginable.

This is also the fundamental reason why Ying Zheng decided to hand over the supreme power of Da Qin.

Because he found that he and the veterans of the court could no longer keep up with the rapid development of Da Qin.

Even Ying Zheng was still diligent, even He worked harder than before, but time is not forgiving. After the Year of Destiny, Ying Zheng's energy was really not as good as a few years ago.

If before, Da Qin did not have a qualified heir, Ying Zheng would only be able to succeed no matter how hard and tired he was. He could hold on.

But now, with Fusu as outstanding as him, even better than himself, and more suitable to be the successor of the Emperor of Qin, Yingzheng's thoughts naturally changed.

And the family affection he tasted from Fusu was even more While Ying Zheng became more tolerant, he also had the expectation of entertaining his grandson.

In this case, it became logical to arrange to abdicate to Fusu.

And from now on He said that he did a very good job of supporting Su and supervising the country.

Ying Zheng can finally let go of his tense heartstrings and spend every day more relaxedly.

"I am still getting old after all!"

Ying Zheng couldn't help but laugh at himself, and then the smile quickly returned to his face.

When he was old, he was able to see such a glorious Qin Dynasty and have a family full of children and grandchildren. It was really a great luck for him.

Ying Zheng was very satisfied with this..
