Prime Minister, don't pick up on integrity

Yan Dan hadn't arrived in Xianyang yet, but something Li Si didn't expect, appeared in the court of Qin State——

Zheng Guo, a hydraulic engineer from South Korea.

The state of Zheng was brought by Lu Buwei. At the same time, he also brought a genius idea to the state of Qin. He wanted to build a canal for the state of Qin. middle.

Just after Zheng Guo finished speaking, the court was quiet at first, and then fell into a heated discussion. They have realized that this is a huge and abnormal project, which is even bigger than the Dujiangyan proposed by Li Bing back then. It is bigger and more difficult. Not only will it cost hundreds of millions of dollars, recruit millions of migrant workers, and take ten years, but the results after it is actually completed are also unknown.

While all the ministers were whispering, Li Si stared intently at Zheng Guo standing in the center, with only one thought in his mind: what the hell was Han Fei thinking!

The memories of his previous life told Li Si that the reason why South Korea sent Zheng Guo to build water canals for Qin State was to use this huge project to drag down Qin State's national strength and make Qin State unable to go eastward. After the completion of the canal, the three hundred miles of Qinchuan will become fertile soil, and the method of exhausting Qin has become the method of enriching Qin.

So what now?With Han Fei's intelligence, it was impossible for him not to know that this was a foolish move, so why did he send Zheng Guo into Qin to build the canal?

On this side, Li Sizheng was puzzled, but on the other side, some ministers had already stood up and argued with Lu Buwei and Zheng Guo. Regarding water conservancy projects, the voices of opposition in the court of the Qin Dynasty were still the main ones.

Hearing the quarrels of the ministers, Ying Zheng didn't know how to make a decision for a moment. He accidentally saw Li Si standing silently at the side, and Ying Zheng suddenly asked, "What do you think?"

Li Si went out, cupped his hands and said, "This canal can be repaired."

As soon as the words fell, someone jumped out to refute: "Why are you so sure, Keqing? Such a huge project far surpasses Dujiangyan!"

Li Si continued: "So, the benefits brought must be several times that of Dujiangyan."

Not everyone is like Li Si, who already knows the infinite benefits that this aqueduct will bring in the future. Even Ying Zheng can't make up his mind for a while, as long as the matter is postponed and discussed later, Li Si knows , Zheng Guoqu will definitely be built. In the previous life, the voices against building the canal were no less than now, but in the end, Lu Buwei withstood the pressure and built this canal.

Now, it was Ying Zheng's turn to decide this matter, and Li Si also believed that Ying Zheng had the foresight and courage.

Li Si didn't notice that when he stepped forward to answer, Zheng Guo, who had been bowing his head in the center of the hall, quietly raised his head to look at him, and quickly lowered his head again.

Things did not go beyond Li Si's expectations. A few days later, Yingzheng approved Zheng Guo's proposal and let Zheng Guo take full responsibility for the construction of the canal. Yandan finally arrived in Xianyang, Qin State.

Crown Prince Yan's entry into Qin as a hostage should have been a disgraceful event. Thinking back then, Yingzheng's father, Wang Yiren, was held as a hostage in Zhao State, and he was looked down upon everywhere. Later, Yingzheng and Lu Buwei returned to Qin State together, but Yingzheng's mother and son were left in Zhao State, and what Yingzheng encountered in Zhao State when he was young also led to his hatred of Zhao State.

But for Yan Dan, he didn't dislike his experience in Zhao Guo as a hostage, because it was during the period of Zhao Guo's hostage that he met Ying Zheng, and since then, Yan Dan couldn't forget Ying Zheng.

Entering the Qin Dynasty this time, in a sense, is in line with Yan Dan's wishes, even if he can't be with the one he likes, it is also good to see him often.

But Yan Dan didn't expect it to be true. He rushed all the way to Xianyang. Not only did Ying Zheng not come to pick him up, but he didn't even have the reception ceremony that should have been. .

Being treated so rudely, not to mention Yan Dan, even his entourage couldn't stand it anymore, and complained in a low voice: "As expected of the country of tigers and wolves, I don't even have this bit of courtesy."

Although what he said was not loud, it was enough to be heard by several guards of the Qin State. The guards were about to go up and teach this ignorant follower a lesson, but they heard a voice from outside the door.

"Back down, don't be rude to His Highness Yan Dan."

The guard had no choice but to retreat disgruntled.

When Li Si saw Yan Dan, compared to the unparalleled red dress she wore in Yan country at that time, Yan Dan, who was busy in the world, was a bit haggard, but she also had a bit of fragile beauty.

With such a beauty right in front of his eyes, Li Si couldn't help but sigh, in terms of appearance, he is not as good as Yan Dan, why Ying Zheng just dismisses Yan Dan, but treats himself...

When Li Si was thinking like this, Yan Dan also recognized Li Si, and he shouted at Li Si in some surprise.

"Sir! You, are you really in Qin?"

But Li Si could only pretend that he didn't know Yan Dan, and said coldly: "His Royal Highness, I am Li Si, the guest minister of Qin State."

"Sir, don't you know Yan Dan?"

"Your Highness, forgive me, I was poisoned once, and I can't remember some things clearly."

Yan Dan was even more surprised. He opened his mouth, as if he wanted to ask Li Si something, but Li Si had already interrupted: "His Royal Highness's residence has been arranged, please come with me, Your Highness." He had just finished speaking. Li Si winked at Yandan meaningfully.

No matter how stupid Yan Dan was, he naturally knew what Li Si meant, he quickly swallowed the words that had come to his lips, and entered the carriage waiting outside the post house with Li Si.

Originally, the driver was the entourage brought by Li Si, but when Yandan got into the car, the driver naturally became Yandan's entourage, and that entourage only got in another car.

In this way, there are only Yan Dan, Li Si and the entourage on the carriage.

Sitting on the carriage with Li Si, looking at the unfamiliar streets of Xianyang outside the carriage, Yan Dan said to himself with some melancholy: "He doesn't even want to see me? Not as a king, but As an old friend."

Hearing Yan Dan's words to himself, Li Si sighed and said in a low voice: "Your Highness, why did you forget what I said at that time, you still came to Qin?"

Yan Dan was taken aback for a moment, then realized it, and asked Li Si in great surprise: "Sir, you, don't you remember?"

"That's all to hide from people's ears."

"Avoid people's eyes and ears? Whose eyes and ears should I avoid?"

Yan Dan asked in confusion at first, then his face suddenly changed, and he asked with some uncertainty: "Sir, you mean... Ah Zheng?"

Li Si nodded, looked around vigilantly, and asked in a low voice, "Is the person brought by His Highness reliable?"

Although Yan Dan still didn't quite understand, he also vaguely felt that this was the key to Li Si, so he nodded solemnly.

After receiving Yan Dan's affirmative answer, Li Si told Yan Dan that he had lost his memory and came to Qin, and that Ying Zheng had lied to him. Another layer of relationship between Ying Zheng.

It wasn't until Li Si finished speaking that Yan Dan suddenly realized, and speculated in a low voice: "So, Mr. is preparing to leave Qin now?"

Li Si sighed helplessly: "It's not so easy to leave Qin. If Shang Jun could leave Qin back then, he wouldn't end up with a broken car, let alone me." "Then, what are you going to do now, sir?" Do?"

Hearing Yan Dan's words at last, Li Si bent down to Yan Dan and begged, "I want His Highness to help me leave Qin."

Seeing that Li Si gave such a great gift to him, Yan Dan hurriedly helped Li Si up.

"Sir, please get up quickly! If Yandan can do it, I will definitely do my best." Speaking of this, Yandan paused for a moment, and his tone became a little sad: "Now Yandan is just a member of the Qin State. Proton, how can you help Mister?"

"Your Highness, there is no need to worry. Now, you just need to be patient and wait for the time to mature."
