Chapter 254 Qin Yutian’s wise aroused his old relatives. Qin Xuanqi spoke angrily

"I believe that with one victory, these unscrupulous things will change drastically!" Empress Dowager Wenzhuang's words exploded in Qin Lei's mind like spring thunder. He sat on the stone motionlessly and said silently in his heart: Grandma, have you ever felt this shock? I know that these guys will burst out with such valuable power when they are forced into desperate situations. So how can they be full of confidence in them?

"Prince, are you okay?" A low call pulled him out of his surging heart tide, but Qin Xuanqi asked with some concern when he saw Qin Lei silent for a long time.

After calming down, Qin Lei chuckled and said, "It's okay, I just remembered some things. You go back first. Let them take a break today and listen to the instructions tomorrow morning." His identity is not as good as before. Every decision will easily change the fate of many people. Therefore, although he made a judgment in his heart, he cannot easily draw conclusions and has to observe for a while.

Qin Xuanqi was slightly disappointed, but he still bowed respectfully.

Looking at his ragged back, Qin Lei was embarrassed to smile. His disobedience gave him great hope. Unexpectedly, he got nothing in the end, so he would naturally feel a little disappointed. Thinking of this, he whispered to Qin Wei: "Let the Lone King send him all over his clothes. It's very cold, don't get cold." Qin Wei curled his lips, but nodded and said yes.

No words all night.

The next morning, after breakfast, Qin Lei ordered the royal guard to separate half of the guards and clean up the ruins of the village together with the royal refugees. The other half of the guards were responsible for the periphery and exploration of the terrain.

Qin Lei called Ma Ai, Shi Yong and Xu Tian together and wanted to make up the next plan. Before the meeting, he asked Qin Wei to call Qin Xuanqi.

Qin Xuanqi did not change into the clothes given by Qin Wei, but followed Qin Wei to the camp in a torn dress. Seeing that a circle of people looked at him, he bowed and bowed with some restraint, "See the prince, see all the great masters." Qin Lei smiled and asked him to sit next to him, and said in a clear voice: "Today I want to discuss the next strategy. Mr. Qin is a landlord, and I know the best here. I would like to check the rest and fill in the gaps for us."

Qin Xuanqi quickly bowed and said, "I dare not." Qin Lei patted his shoulder and said warmly: "Old Qin, don't be nervous. Although Gu still has some rules here, he does not distinguish between high and low when discussing matters. It is right or wrong." He said with a smile: "As long as you don't leave this door, you don't have to treat me as your prince. Isn't it right?" The last sentence was asked by Shi Yong and the others. Several of them smiled and nodded. Qin Xuanqi felt relieved, and sat down with half of his butt on the stool, thinking: This master is a bit different.

For a moment, he felt like a different life. He had not sat in the hall as if he had been discussing matters in many years? It seemed that the last time was the eve of His Highness De's defeat. Several of the royal families discussed their way out together and drank a drink. That night, the news of His Highness De's hanging himself came. It would be a nightmare period, and then it would be a sixteen years of living in the foothills of Jingshan, but he never entered the hall again.

Now that he has returned to the hall, Qin Xuanqi felt comfortable all over and thought to himself, this is really good, this is the life that people live...

"Old Qin, Old Qin?" Just as he was thinking, a call sounded in his ears. He came to his senses, but saw the prince looking at him with a smile. Qin Xuanqi's heart skipped a beat, and he couldn't help but feel regretful, so he wanted to kneel down to apologize. However, he was supported by Qin Lei and said in a gentle voice: "Old Qin doesn't have to do this. I think you must be full of emotion. It is normal to lose your mind for a while." Qin Lei has always been understanding and does not consider the feelings of others because he is in the top position.

Qin Xuanqi repeatedly claimed to be guilty, and Qin Lei smiled and said, "Okay, you are guilty, but the Lone King was distracted for a while yesterday, so we are even." Qin Xuanqi knew that this was the prince's revision for himself: it was not appropriate to be distracted for the first time to discuss matters, and it was inevitable that someone would be looked down upon. When the prince said this, he gave him enough face, making people feel that Old Man Qin is also the number one figure in the prince's heart, and he will be together in the future. After thinking about this festival, Qin Xuanqi was extremely grateful and secretly admired the young prince.

After he sat down again, Qin Lei smiled at Ma Ai on the side and said, "Please tell me about Mr. Qin again." He and Boshang were sworn brothers, and he was communicating with his old disciples. Although he was proud, it was not outrageous.

Ma Ai said respectfully, "As for the order." As he said that, he looked at Qin Xuanqi and smiled, "Old Qin, the prince and a few of us are discussing the materials for building the barracks. There are two alternatives. One is to open Jingshan and chisel stone bricks. Use the large bluestone on Jingshan to build the barracks. This can be done once and for all, but it is very time-consuming."

Qin Xuanyi listened silently, and then listened to Ma Ai continued: "Secondly, follow the method of building a military camp a hundred years ago and buy bricks from Xishan kiln. This will be fast and it will be very expensive." Although Qin bricks and Han tiles are the main buildings at this time, Qin Lei was unwilling to make do with it. He believed that a good training and accommodation environment would bring morale bonus to the soldiers. Since he was in charge of the army in this world, he has paid great attention to these things, such as field rations, sleeping bags, armor linings, and even a complete pension system, all reflect his people-oriented supreme purpose.

Qin Lei is not that he has too much money to spend, but because in the era of cold weapons, morale is an extremely important decisive factor. If the commander wants to use his life to the three armies, in addition to the moral requirements of wisdom, trustworthiness, benevolence, courage and strictness, material satisfaction is also extremely important. Haven’t you seen that after a long river for five thousand years, which peerless strong army is not supported by peerless national strength or peerless preferential incentives?

After all, before the nation was in danger, it was impossible to completely ignore material conditions like a certain army of his era. He could only rely on his spirit to compete with God. He still looked at the current situation.

After hearing Ma Ai's words, Qin Xuanqi pondered for a while and said hesitantly: "I think these two methods..." Seeing him hesitant, Qin Lei smiled and said, "Tell me quickly, this is a military camp, I don't like to procrastinate."

Since the prince said this, Qin Xuanqiu made a fuss and said with a voice: "None of these two methods is good." With one sentence, he focused several people on himself, but those eyes were mostly suspicious, questioning and even contempt. It seems that besides Qin Lei, everyone still cannot pay attention to the dirty old man dug out of the ground, and they all think he is sensationalizing.

After all, Qin Xuanqi has been away from the court for more than ten years and has lost his sharpness. Seeing that the eyes they cast were quite unkind, he couldn't help but blame himself for being troubled, so he wanted to hang his head, but he heard Qin Lei slowly say: "Don't lift it up again if you lower it." This plain words were like a lightning flash across his heart, and he shouted in his heart: There is only one opportunity, and if you miss it, you won't be able to do it again!

Thinking of this, Qin Xuanqi raised his head again and looked at the few people fearlessly, and said in a deep voice: "One of these two methods takes too long and the other is too expensive. Even if the prince doesn't care, it will seriously limit the size of the barracks and waste this treasure land of heaven."

The youngest Xu Tian couldn't help but sneer: "Old Qin is a little alarmist, just build a military camp of ten thousand people. How many stone bricks can be used? The little effort and money, our prince doesn't care about it." Several people nodded, looking extremely arrogant.

Qin Xuanqi couldn't help but get angry and said angrily: "Gaozu founded the country and set up the imperial guards, so he set up the garrison of the eight camps in the capital. Our clan soldiers are the foundation of the royal family and naturally they should be placed in the most important place. The reason why he chose this Jingshan camp is the mystery!"

Ma Ai couldn't help laughing, "Old Qin is old, how can he talk about the old emperor's record two hundred years ago? Even I, a cripple, can't help laughing at you."

Even the clay man had a third-part nature. He was humiliated by several people in turn. Qin Xuanqi's expression finally turned red. He was about to sarcastically, but he looked at Qin Lei habitually, but he saw him touching his chin without any objection.

Qin Xuanqi's heart sank, and he wanted to stop talking. He suddenly remembered what Qin Lei said just now, and gritted his teeth and said to him, "Are you going to fight, you can die at worst. Hurry up and bowed to Qin Lei and said, "Is the prince going to plan for a lifetime or forever?"

Qin Lei seemed not infected by his excitement at all. He reached out to pick up the teacup, drank a sip of water, and then chuckled, "What do you mean by Ma Yisheng?"

Qin Xuanqi also took the initiative, shook the rag strip on his shoulders, and said in a strange tone: "For a certain lifetime, you can listen to these generals and build the troops properly. I believe that with the prince's ability, it is not difficult to cultivate a strong army comparable to the imperial guards. As long as this army is in hand, no one will give you some face, and no one dares to offend you, you can be a free prince. If you have no illness or disaster, you will probably be a prince or something in decades. As for hereditary replacing, it is even more difficult, let alone anything else!" He said this impolitely, even a little disrespectful. He heard Xu Tian and others indignant, and wanted to teach this old man who was ignorant of the world. However, Qin Lei waved his hand and stopped him, and said softly: "What if he plans for the world?"

Qin Xuanqi was happy, raised his head and bowed his hand, and burst out from his teeth word by word: "If you plan for all ages, this is your place of dragon prosperity!" As soon as this was said, the tent suddenly fell quietly. What is planning for all ages? The plaque of "Jianji Suiyou" in Xuanzheng Hall is clearly written clearly - rule the world, build a majestic and powerful country, appease the vassals in the country, and create achievements for all ages. This is planning for all ages!

As soon as he finished speaking, the atmosphere in the tent suddenly became very strange.

Qin Xuanyou looked at the faces of those people and found that they were even relieved. Among these people, Xu Tian Shiyong was the heart of Qin Lei's confidant, so he naturally understood his temperament. Except for Emperor Zhaowu who was unable to do anything, it was definitely not suitable for being inferior to others. And Ma Ai was also the steel rod among Boshang's iron rods, so he naturally took Boshang's will as his will - if Qin Lei did not compete for that position, could Boshang's ability to play with him?

But although the few people had already understood it, they were suppressed by Qin Lei's nine-character policy of "building high walls, accumulating grain, and seeking the emperor slowly". No one had ever publicly mentioned the matter of kingdom. Now it was suddenly revealed by an outsider, but finally there was no need to hide it anymore, so they were all happy. Therefore, they did not refute him, but instead listened quietly without saying a word to see what shocking words he could say.

Seeing the reactions of several people, Qin Lei's expression remained unchanged. Qin Xuanqiu felt relieved and said in a deep voice: "Please borrow the utensils on the table to use them. Rong Laoji will be the prince!" Qin Lei nodded and signaled him to just use it.

Qin Xuanqi thanked the prince, then turned a porcelain bowl on the table and said in a deep voice: "This is Zhongdu!" He picked up a thick booklet, and the spine spread out, put it on the lower left side of the porcelain bowl and said: "This is Jingshan." He took out a handful of chopsticks from the bamboo tube, and joined one by one to form a winding long snake. The snake ended up with one head and end, and bent its body southwest, passing southward, and headed to the right side of the book, and went southward. He saw him pointing to a section of the book from the porcelain bowl and said in a solemn voice: "This is Jingshui River, the northern section of the 4,000-mile Grand Canal."

This time, without having to speak out from his subordinates, Qin Lei shook his head and said, "What Mr. Qin said is a bad thing. As everyone is concerned, Xiaoqing River is the northern section of the Grand Canal." As he said that, he directly put a chopstick in the place where Jingshui River bends, and whispered: "This is the northern section of the Grand Canal, but he does not circle westward."

Qin Xuanqi smiled and said, "The prince said yes, but I was right, because I said it was the Grand Canal a hundred years ago."

Qin Lei smiled and said, "I hope to hear it carefully."

Qin Xuanqi said in a deep voice: "One hundred and seventy years ago, in order to change the difficult situation at that time, the Qin Dynasty dug this 4,000-mile canal, but at that time the national treasury was in a dilemma and could not stop the bends and take the shortest route like the Grand Canal of Dongqi. We can only dig the canals to dig the existing north-south rivers. Although we have to go farther, we can also get it."

Qin Lei nodded and listened attentively to him, and continued: "Jingshui River, as the name suggests, is the river that flows through Jingshan, which is why Jingshan is named. At that time, it was naturally connected to the Luoshui in the south, and was naturally adopted as the northern section of the canal."

When Qin Lei heard the word "Luo Shui", he felt like he was exploding. The three-year-old child also knew that the main roads of the 4,000-mile Grand Canal were composed of the four-story Xiaoqing River, Luoshui, Zhejiang River and Xiangjiang River. If the Jingshui River was really connected to the capital and the Luoshui River, what did it mean to Qin Lei, who had already mastered the southern canal of Xiangjiang River? The Grand Canal was his private place for the Prince's Mansion of Longwei County. From then on, there were no more four major canal families, and Qin Lei, the only one, had the final say.

Pressing down the heartbeat of 'bang', Qin Xuanqi continued: "Decades after the canal was built, our Qin State was really strong, but the canal began to silt. Especially in the section of Jingshui River, because the water flow was too slow, the mud and sand from the upstream were silted here, which eventually greatly affected shipping. At that time, our country was rich and the people were strong, so he naturally had the ability to silt. However, Emperor Wen at that time thought that the bend of Jingshui River was too far, so he abandoned the river. He ordered people to widen the Xiaoqing River, which was still a tributary of Jingshui River at that time, and then cut it straightened, and directly connected it to the Luoshui River." As he said, he said with a vicissitudes of expression: "In the end, the tributary turned into a main stream, and this main stream was drawn away from water and accumulated mud, but it was not even a tributary..."

Qin Lei was slightly displeased when he heard this and thought to himself: This old man was not a foolish attack on my old man. His father, Emperor Zhaowu, was at best a tributary compared to other princes 17 years ago, but eventually became the emperor. And those main streams were already covered with mud and sand, and there was no trace anymore. If this old man was really sarcastic, in addition to saying that he was tired of living, Qin Lei would also like to praise him, sir, his literary talent.

But Qin Lei knew about this situation and gave the old man a hundred courage, he did not dare to insult him. It seemed that he had been holding it in the tunnel for a long time, and his words were sour, which made people sound too uncomfortable, and it was not intentional to tease him. He sighed in his heart and told himself to understand this sentence literally.

Sure enough, Qin Xuanqiu had no idea. Instead, he pointed to the chopsticks on the table with a slight excitement. Shu and the bowl said: "The terrain of Jingshan is special. The south is tall and steep. Although the terrain is flat on the north, it is blocked by a river. It is easy to defend and difficult to attack. As long as the prince builds a strong city again, it will clear the Jingshui River!" As he said that, he grabbed the chopsticks connected to the porcelain bowl and said in a deep voice: "You will be stuck in the northern section of the Grand Canal, and the throat of the Qin Dynasty will be strangled by you! At that time, you can attack and retreat and defend. What you want to do with the Qin Dynasty depends on the prince's thoughts!"

"Okay!" Ma Ai Shiyong and Xu Tian finally couldn't help but stand up together and applauded him.

Qin Xuanqi forced a smile, not seemingly grateful. It seems that the cold words just now did hurt him.

But those people laughed awkwardly and bowed and said sincerely: "Don't blame me, Mr. Qin, the prince said that he wanted us to take an opportunity to inspire you, first, to restore your heroism. Second, let us see the old senior's real ability, right?" That means, don't blame us, go find the mastermind.

He looked at Qin Lei again, but saw him bowing and laughing: "Sorry, sorry, I'm a bad guy."
