This is a rainy season, and in the rainy season, water becomes something that is difficult to stagger.

Ying Zheng had a deep understanding of this, but he caught a fish called Jingyu. Because the fish understood the nourishment of water and was happy for it, the water gave him a head-on blow, which made the King of Qin understand one thing: not only Jingyu, but also the world.

But the water in this world is not so gentle, but rather a force that is enough to destroy anything.

Under the candlelight, Ying Zheng, who was wearing only a single dress, looked at the bamboo slips in his hand, and his face looked increasingly gloomy as the lights swayed.

The Great Wall under construction in the north was destroyed by a mountain torrent, and more than 3,000 people in the former Korean soldiers, who were being built and tasted, died in this mountain torrent.

Ying Zheng, who was quickly analyzing the information in the intelligence in his mind, slowly closed his eyes. The casualties of the personnel were nothing, and the cost of more than 3,000 people was not high, but the destroyed Great Wall that was under construction that lasted for dozens of miles would seriously affect Ying Zheng's future plans.

The Great Wall was built by the First Emperor after he unified the world. However, the fact is that during the entire Warring States Period, Qin, Zhao, Yan and Qi, and even Chu would build the Great Wall in key places, and the Great Wall built by the First Emperor was just connecting the Great Wall of Qin, Zhao, Yan and Yan.

What Ying Zheng was doing at this time was to integrate the Great Walls of Qin and Zhao. Since Ying Zheng obtained the Dai County of Yanmen County, the northern border of Zhao two years ago, he has been working on this matter. Moreover, in his plan, the Great Walls connecting Shangjun and Yanmen County will be completely completed at the beginning of next year, but a mountain torrent has pushed this time backwards.

Ying Zheng, who looked not very good-looking, put down the bamboo slips and walked to Jinglu, who was about to get up, pressed her shoulders that she had no time to put on her single clothes.

"Go to sleep." Ying Zheng pushed him back to the territory that originally belonged to Jingyu, his eyes stayed on the bamboo slip for a moment, and lay on the bed in the curtain again.

Jingyu looked at Ying Zheng beside him, and a hint of hesitation flashed in her eyes, but she didn't ask any questions. Instead, she put her body in Ying Zheng's arms, fixed her arm between the brackets in front of her, and hugged her tightly. Then she closed her eyes and soon fell into a deep sleep. She was a little tired.

At dusk the next day, military newspapers from Shangjun also reached Xianyang. The Prime Minister's Mansion, who is in charge of the construction of the Great Wall in the North, also received this news. This Great Wall, which was hundreds of miles away, caused another stir in Xianyang City.

"King, the Great Wall in the North has been destroyed for dozens of miles. If it is to be completed within the established time, it is only possible to continue to recruit labor. However, in this way, people may be resentful." Xiong Qi, one of the nine ministers of the Great Qin Dynasty, who is now the position of the court magistrate, crossed the general beside him as the supervisor Gongshu Qiu Jianshe.

Ying Zheng looked at his elder brother-in-law calmly, and did not say anything, but looked at Lu Buwei and asked: "According to the Prime Minister's estimate, if the construction is to be completed by the beginning of next year, how much people's strength will be increased?"

"Reporting to the king, according to the people's strength used before, it should be 20,000." Lu Buwei said without hesitation.

Before coming to Xianyang Palace, he had prepared answers to the questions that Ying Zheng might ask. Therefore, when Ying Zheng asked him about this number, Lu Buwei didn't need to think too much.

"Twenty thousand?" Ying Zheng thought about this number and calculated in his mind the current situation in Qin.

Zheng Guoqu, straight road, Great Wall, and even the decisive battle against Zhao next year all require people. How to make use of people's strength as much as possible without delaying Qin's agricultural work has become the biggest problem facing Ying Zheng.

Gongshu Qiu looked at the three people in front of him who had different behaviors. Because he had been in a high position over the years but was widely slapped by his disciples, his face, which seemed to have a little demeanor, was expressionless at this time.

He thought he would not participate in the major policies of these countries. Of course, these were not what he wanted to think about. His profession was not here, and his interests were not here. He also knew that Ying Zheng would not ask him for his opinions on this matter. The purpose of Ying Zheng summoned him here was to ask him about the improvement of equipment, which he knew very well.

"It's feasible." Ying Zheng said.

"Mr. Gongshu, if Gu remembers correctly, the disciples of Gongshu are about to finish their studies, right?" Ying Zheng turned his head and asked Gongshu Qiu.

"Report to the king, in three months, those disciples will be able to leave the army." Gongshucho said with a solemn face.

"It's not necessary to wait three months later. They have learned enough knowledge in the book script, so it's time to start." Ying Zheng said.

"The king means, is it that these disciples who are about to finish their studies sent to the north to build the Great Wall?" Gongshuqiu replied with his wisdom.

If other people were to let the disciples they had trained themselves do things that only civil servants could do. This would not be willing to do, but Gongshuo was an exception.

Although he personally taught those disciples, as mass-produced disciples, his feelings are not as good as fraternity, not to mention that learning mechanisms is a matter of doing more hands than using their brains.

"That's exactly that." Ying Zheng said.

"They are first of all the people of the king, and secondly they are disciples of Gongshu. The king has orders, how can they be disrespectful?" Gongshu Qiu said without any burden.

"Then let Mr. Gongshu lead the team." Ying Zheng was very satisfied with Gongshu Qiu's answer. If everyone from a hundred schools of thought could think so, the future would be much simpler. Unfortunately, Gongshu Qiu was too little.

"No." Gongshu Qiu blinked his eyes and couldn't come up with a reason, but he still gave a very wise answer.

"Most of the soldiers who died in the mountain torrent were the people of Nanyang, Yingchuan. Although they were not killed in battle, they died for the great cause of our Qin State. All of them must be done well for their aftermath. I wonder if there are suitable candidates for Prime Minister and Changping Jun?" Ying Zheng asked.

"Changpingjun is the most suitable thing for this matter." Lu Buwei replied.

Changpingjun was caught off guard by Lu Buwei's surprise attack, but did not show any unexpected expression on the surface, but replied calmly: "If the king has an order, I will die."

"Then you will be responsible for this matter, Changpingjun." Ying Zheng finally made the decision.

The decision had been made, so naturally, Lu Buwei and the other two should not stay in the palace for a long time, but after walking out of the hall, Lu Buwei did not leave, but turned around and returned to the hall.

"King, although I know that the king is far-sighted in his work, it is not something I can understand, but I am really confused about the Great Wall. Why should I spend so much people and material resources to renovate the Great Wall at this time? The Wolf Clan is not a confidant of my Great Qin at this time." Lu Buwei said hesitantly.

The Great Wall is useful, but it is not worth the effort to build it at this time. This is Lu Buwei's perception, but he doesn't believe that Ying Zheng could not think of these, but Lu Buwei was still curious.

"If someone asks me, Gu will naturally not tell him the answer, but you are the exception." Ying Zheng said to Lu Buwei who was curious in front of him.

In Lu Buwei's expectation, Ying Zheng continued: "The Great Wall is not just a wall used for defense, it can also become a road to attack."
