Zheng Guo had many crazy plans in his heart, including the river water project. The river water is the mother river of China and the origin of China's agricultural civilization. The Chinese nation farms along the river, live and reproduces here. It has the most fertile soil in the world, but river water often floods, and the struggle between humans and river water has lasted for many years. From the time of Shunyu to the present, the river water has not calmed down.

Just last year, the river flooded once, and Hanoi County was seriously affected. However, even if local officials carried out disaster relief, they did not cause much trouble. The river water was a huge trouble for the Central Plains dynasty in history. Until the Qing Dynasty, there was even a large-scale flood of rivers. All dynasties have been trying to solve this problem. Now Ying Zheng is also thinking about the governance of the river.

There are usually three ways to manage river water: artificial diversion, diversion, and dam building. Jia Rang, who proposed river management strategies, is not born yet, but his theory has appeared now, and the Chinese have known for a long time that it is better to be diffused than blockage. This time, the emperor also thought of using these three ways to control the river water while benefiting the surrounding areas.

Zhao Kuo knew that the reason for the flooding of river water was the accumulation of silt. Without enough technology to control the riverbed, any strategy could only treat the symptoms but not the root cause. However, at present, he could only choose to treat the symptoms. If he wanted to treat the root cause, he had to wait for two thousand years. Zheng came to Xianyang happily. He was old and could no longer walk and was as thin as a child. But even so, when he heard the words "water treatment", he still had a light flashing in his eyes.

"I think that your Majesty wants to control the river water, which is very correct. The river water flow is large and the coverage area is wide... If it can be manually diverted, a lot of fertile arable land can be opened up around, and the irrigation area will be amazing. In addition, diversion can also play a role..." Zheng State was not restrained in the face of the emperor. He took out his own paper and pen and began to introduce the major project in his heart in front of the First Emperor.

Ying Zheng has always been like this. In his heart, he is somewhat similar to the King of Wei. He is very happy with achievements and is very anxious to do things. But the difference is that Ying Zheng will never give up until he sees the results. He will do whatever he wants to do until it becomes a success. Zheng State proposed a huge project, a major project from Qilu to Guanzhong. Let's put it this way, the project volume has reached such a point: Zhao Kuo can jump up and hit people as long as he takes a look.

This project will require at least one million people, and the money and food are expended. It is very likely that nine out of ten rooms on both sides of the river will be empty, which makes the emperor hesitate. If it were the original, he would probably not have hesitated at all. With a wave of his hand, he mobilized the people to excavate. But now, he is worried that Zhao Kuo will blame him, and that doing so will affect people's livelihood... This will definitely affect people's livelihood.

Seeing Ying Zheng hesitating, Zheng State was anxious. He was old and could not care whether he was disrespectful to the emperor. He directly held the emperor's hand and said anxiously: "This matter requires one million people to dig, but it can benefit ten million people! Your Majesty, when Ma Fujun destroyed the countries, a villain mocked him, saying that he was a benevolent gentleman, but he wanted to help Qin kill people. Ma Fujun once said: Hundreds of thousands of people died in the war, but he could save the whole world."

"Now that the river is flooding and the people are poor, you can start labor service, which will not exhaust people. At most, it will only make the people busy, but in the end, it can support the people of the world. Do you still need hesitation?" Ying Zheng looked at Zheng Guo who was excited in front of him in surprise. He narrowed his eyes, pondered for a long time, and said, "Three years later, the ground will begin to be destroyed." Zheng Guo was stunned and asked in confusion: "Since you agree? Why do you still need three years later?"

"The war has just ended, and the people in the world need time to cultivate... Let them rest for three years before they can get ground."

Zheng Guo smiled bitterly, tears flashed in his eyes, and he murmured: "I'm afraid... I won't be able to wait for that day."

Lu Buwei very much agreed with Zhao Kuo's reform plan. In Lu Buwei's opinion, the changes made by Zhao Kuo to the military merit system were reasonable. They did not suppress the enthusiasm of the people, but also allowed Qin to emerge from the war and began to become like a normal country. The two of them subsequently made some deletion and modification. In the spring of the second year of Emperor Qin Shi, the two jointly wrote a letter to the emperor, requesting the reform of the military merit system.

This immediately caused an uproar in Qin. The military merit system has always been the basis of Qin. In recent years, the military merit system of Qin has not changed at all. Only Lu Buwei wants to change it. However, Lu Buwei's changes were not that big, but the proportion and rewards were changed. Overall, it was still the same. Until now, Zhao Kuo wanted to ban the military merit system and summoned a standing army. All of these were unacceptable events for Qin!

If the proposer was not Zhao Kuo, but others, I was probably attacked by the Qin people at this moment. It was just because of the identity of the proposer that everyone dared not speak out. Zhao Kuo's prestige in Qin was too high. After he said that, everyone actually began to reflect on whether there was really something wrong with the military merit system? Of course, there are big problems. If it continues to be implemented, Qin will only continue to fight foreign wars, continue to fight foreign wars, and then use land to continuously reward the soldiers.

Can Qin State bear the repeated external expeditions? Is there so much land to reward the soldiers?

Forget about fighting will lead to death, but being wary is not a good thing!

Zhao Kuo did not hide it, and directly told the disadvantages of the military merit system. If there is peace today, there is no big war and the past system continues to be implemented, then Qin will have to attack farther areas, because there is no war, and there will be no channels for upward development. Well, attack those remote places and then use the land there to reward soldiers. Is this a reward or a punishment?

Zhao Kuo even said that if anyone can solve these problems, he can maintain the original system without changing it.

The ministers stopped talking at once. They really couldn't come up with any way, but they were not so desperate about the military merit system. Of course, this is also the reason for the times. The emperor believed in Zhao Kuo. Over the years, Zhao Kuo had never said he had missed it. On the sixth day after Zhao Kuo proposed the new system, the emperor ordered reforms, and was in a hurry and did not give anyone a process of easing. This is the emperor's character, and everyone knew it.

The new system divided the military merit system into several parts. The military merits of the past remained unchanged. At the same time, when setting up a standing army, the people still had to participate in the training, but they no longer had to serve as soldiers to fight. The people were a little confused, didn't understand, and did not understand at all. This was a moment that changed their destiny. Qin State summoned 50,000 people to sit in Xianyang. As its largest standing army, this army was called the Northern Army because it was in the school ground north of Xianyang.

They have to participate in the exercises full-time and be completely out of farming.

In the local area, the soldiers of the county and county are also regular troops, and they are also responsible for garrison tasks, not public security tasks, but garrison tasks. The main purpose is to resist rebellion and foreign wars. The soldiers involved are given new titles. Of course, Zhao Kuo and Meng Yi still retain their original titles and serve as new titles to facilitate leadership.

By establishing the Northern Army, Qin State completed the transformation from a war machine where everyone is a soldier to a feudal state with a standing military force. Zhao Kuo also became the highest commander of the Northern Army because of his "military rank" of Chehou... This was something Zhao Kuo had never thought of. Zhao Kuo divided war, politics, agriculture and sericulture. In the future, officials no longer served as officers, and officials no longer wanted to take office through war.

At the same time, facing those officials, Zhao Kuo also took out a set of titles, which was not much different from the military rank, and it was also a reward for them. Their highest-ranking title was also a title for kings and marquis. In order to avoid the possibility of these high-level titles, Zhao Kuo proposed that those with marquis no longer enthrone the land and directly increase the rewards, so that these people would not have any power in the fief.

At the same time, Zhao Kuo first handed over his land and power, and then Lu Buwei, when he saw that both of them had offered them, the others such as Wang Jian, Zhao Kang and others did not care about them.

Zhao Kuo always said that Ying Zheng was very anxious to do things, but it seemed that he was the same. In just a short period of time after the unification of the world, Zhao Kuo carried out a series of reforms to Qin. Starting from the Standing Army, each reform was a huge reform, which directly fundamentally changed the reform of Qin. At the same time, Zhao Kuo was not tired at all because he was just the proposer, and the specific implementation was Li Si...

Li Si was almost exhausted!

During this period, he was busy dealing with the situation in various places day and night, appeased the old military aristocrats, summoned the first batch of standing troops, and asked the local government to convene the first batch of local standing troops to change the current title, and gave the title again... Li Si's eyes were red. From morning to night, there was almost no rest. Zhao Kuo did not treat him as a human being and kept putting forward his various ideas, asking Li Si to help implement it.

Poor Li Si couldn't hold on, and in desperation, he asked Han Fei and Zhang Cang to help him. Unexpectedly, after Han Fei arrived, he had been commenting on Zhao Kuo's policies, telling him about his feasibility and shortcomings, and how to change it in the future. He was just talking about it, and what he did in one day was not as much as Li Si did in half an hour.

As for Zhang Cang, he began to be scared when he looked at these cumbersome things. He read a lot of books, but for the first time he was in a hurry and always made mistakes when facing such a big thing. This made Li Si furious and almost drove out these two "wastes" who were ignorant. Seeing that Li Si was so hardworking, the emperor summoned him personally and expressed his guilt and uneasiness towards him.

Although Li Si repeatedly stated that he had no problems and could continue to be busy, the emperor who cared about him had added the positions of left and right prime ministers again. Li Si served as the left prime minister and Han Fei served as the right prime minister. The emperor said that in this way, Han Fei could help you, and you would not be so busy. This is what I would compensate you. Li Si could only grit his teeth and thank the emperor for his kindness and said nothing.

The reform was in full swing, and all regions stopped long-term practices for ordinary people, and opened up some vacancies, allowing them to make friends, allow them to play games, and allow their entertainment. The people of Qin were difficult to accept all of this, but the people of the other six countries were easy to accept. After all, they lived like that in the past. Zhao Kuo said early that there are seven countries that need to be destroyed by one king of the world.

The seventh country, the Qin State, wanted to establish a unified and prosperous era, and could not allow Qin State to impose its lifestyle on the people of the seven countries. After Zhao Kuo destroyed the other six countries, he now began to destroy Qin State. He first destroyed his system, abolished the military merit system, and then destroyed his writings. He adopted a unified new writing, and then destroyed his lifestyle, so that the Qin people would become like the people of the world and live so much as not so depressing.

What is needed to destroy the six countries is war, and the destruction of Qin only requires Zhao Kuo's prestige, which makes the ministers unable to oppose themselves. Zhao Kuo said everything he had thought about over the years... These changes involved various fields, from war to politics, and then to culture. Zhao Kuo wanted to revise history and revise a set of Chinese history to illustrate the theory of the people of the seven countries as their own family. In addition, Zhao Kuo was also preparing to initially establish national consciousness and national consciousness.

Zhao Kuo was a little surprised to see the Qin in front of him step by step into the appearance of a big man.

Many of Zhao Kuo's policies came from the Han Dynasty. Because of the failure to experience destruction, the more prosperous Qin State nowadays, when implementing these policies of the Han Dynasty, can often have very amazing results.

Just when Zhao Kuo was busy changing Qin, news came from Liaodong that a large-scale civil strife occurred in Donghu. A young leader of the Donghu tribe killed the newly ascended Donghu King. He defeated the coalition forces of other tribes, integrated all the Donghu tribes, and established himself as kings. When this news just arrived in Xianyang, it did not cause any noise. After all, when Donghu was the strongest, Wang Jian easily defeated them, let alone them now.

Only Li Xin, thinking about something, seemed to remember something.
