Traveling through Great Qin: Father Qin Shihuang!

Xianyang Palace, court discussion!

In today's Xianyang Chaotang, people in various key departments have been controlled by Fusu. Coupled with the strong return of Ying Zheng and Zhao Che, Fusu already has a strong control over the court.

Yesterday, Daqin's first township examination paper marking was over, and the results were announced after being confirmed by the county guards.

I thought Daqin would be able to calm down for a few days after the township examination was over, so the officials who went to court today felt quite relaxed.

In the court meeting, as usual, the officials first reported the daily memorials from all parts of the Great Qin, and then gave their opinions on the solution after discussing with Fusu and the officials of the DPRK and China.

But now that the autumn harvest has been completed and the rural examination has come to a successful conclusion, many officials have nothing to report.

Soon the court meeting came to an end, and some people even thought about where to eat after the court meeting ended.

However, at this moment, Fusu suddenly knocked on the table in front of him, and then his face became very solemn.

"My dear dears, today I have one more matter that I want to discuss with you dear dears!"

"Your Majesty, please tell me that I will do my best!"

Hearing Fusu's words, everyone didn't take it seriously at first, thinking that it was just some new policy to be implemented somewhere.

However, when Fusu opened his mouth, there was a thunderstorm.

"A few days ago, Champion Hou proposed a project idea for Daqin. After considering it, I think it is feasible, so I plan to discuss it with all my lovers on how to arrange this matter."

"Oh? Since it was the idea proposed by Champion Hou, it must be of great benefit to me, Da Qin!"

Now that Wang Wan resigned and Feng Quji was on the decline, naturally no one in the court deliberately smeared Zhao Che, and they didn't have the guts to do so, so they all spoke a few words of praise.

"Your Majesty, I don't know what the specific project you are talking about is?"

Someone couldn't help but stepped forward and asked.

Seeing this, Fusu winked at the servant behind him, and immediately someone brought the Daqin map that had been prepared a long time ago, and posted it on a movable blackboard so that everyone present could see it See.

"Look, dear ladies!"

Fusu tapped on the blackboard, just like a teacher teaching students.

"This place is Great Qinnan County, and it is also the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River!"

"Nanjun has been developing well in recent years. It is close to the Yangtze River with abundant water and fertile land. Coupled with the hybrid rice that is being promoted now, it has now become a very important grain-producing area in Daqin!"

Hearing Fusu mention Nanjun, the officials present immediately discussed the situation of Nanjun in recent years.

As they said, the current South County is already a very strategic place for Daqin.

"It's a pity that the success of Nanjun depends on the Yangtze River, and the failure also depends on the Yangtze River. The Yangtze River is turbulent and the terrain is steep. Once there is a heavy rain, it is very likely to cause floods. At that time, the entire Nanjun will have to be displaced!"

"Fortunately, God has blessed me Daqin these years, and there has never been any floods in Nanjun. This is already very good for us!"

"Your Majesty suddenly mentioned the matter in Nanjun. Could it be that there is something wrong there? But now that the autumn harvest is over, even if there is a flood, the impact shouldn't be too great, right? And I haven't heard any news from there. ah?"

……

Flooding in Nanjun has never been a rare thing, but anyone who has a little knowledge of that place can tell that Nanjun often suffers major or minor floods every few years.

Hearing the people's comments, Fusu was not upset, and let them know that the flood in Nanjun was serious, so that when he proposed to build the Three Gorges Dam, he believed that he would encounter much less resistance.

Immediately, Fusu pointed to the construction location of the Three Gorges Dam drawn on the map.

"Everyone seems to know that the Yangtze River, as the mother river that gave birth to millions of Guizhou heads in Nanjun, will cause extremely serious floods in case of heavy rains. , will be completely destroyed by the flood!"

"This year's disaster situation in the three counties must have been understood by you, but compared to the floods in the Yangtze River, the disaster situation in the three counties is only insignificant."

"Although the Nanjun area has been favored by heaven in these years, and no major floods have occurred, we still cannot take it lightly, because once a flood occurs, the consequences will still be unavoidable for our current Daqin. acceptable."

Even if Fusu doesn't say anything about taking precautions, I believe everyone can understand the meaning of it.

Floods in the Yangtze River are not uncommon. The reason why ancient people often experienced food shortages is actually inseparable from various natural disasters.

The most important thing is that the ancient people had no way to resist natural disasters. Therefore, after encountering natural disasters, the best way is to flee directly.

But in this way, a year of hard work will only come to naught in the end.

It would be good if he met a more benevolent monarch, and the court could still provide money for disaster relief.

But if you encounter that kind of tyrannical dynasty, the court will not only ignore the refugees, but also collect agricultural taxes. The end of doing so will only make the people at the bottom fight hard.

In fact, Daqin didn't do a good job in this aspect. Although the imperial court would also provide money for disaster relief, Daqin didn't have much money to spend.

Moreover, even in the era without disasters, Daqin's taxes were very heavy.

But that's all in the past tense. Now Daqin has money and food, so naturally there is no need to worry about the scene of changing children and eating again.

Of course, one must also be prepared for danger when living in peace. It is precisely because of the sufferings experienced in the past that people now try to do everything possible so that their children and grandchildren will not have to experience those things again.

Once the natural disaster of the Yangtze River breaks out, it cannot be stopped by manpower. Therefore, it is necessary to solve this problem from the root cause, so that the Yangtze River will no longer become a disaster. This is the most important thing.

"Your Majesty, the floods of the Yangtze River have plagued Nanjun for a long time. Although God has favored us these years and the weather in Daqin has been smooth, we must take precautions!"

As the leader of the Great Qin Dynasty, Meng Yi was the first to stand up and support Fusu's decision.

The others looked at each other and stood up one after another. After all, this is not a bad thing, and of course they must support it vigorously.

Seeing this, Fusu nodded, and then told the plan he had discussed with Zhao Che.

"The idea proposed by Champion Hou is to build a dam on the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River to intercept the floods of the Yangtze River. Even if there is a heavy rain, there is no need to worry about floods on the Yangtze River. Moreover, the Three Gorges Dam will also assume the power supply responsibility of Daqin !"
