No matter what difficult situations may arise after the construction of the canal, I hope that you gentlemen can stand with Your Majesty.
Although I am just a woman, I know very well that once the canal is built, it will be a matter of life and death for the country.
I wonder, you gentlemen, wouldn't want to see your homeland destroyed because of this incident, right?"
What Daji said today was indeed a bit too much.
But the facts are right in front of us.
Building a canal could indeed have extremely serious consequences.
And it was built without any preparation.
This greatly increases the incidence of serious consequences.
Upon hearing this, Cai Jing was the first to express his opinion: "Building the Grand Canal is a major event unprecedented in the history of the Qin Dynasty.
If this succeeds, from today onwards, no country will be able to stop the rise of our Great Qin.
If it doesn't work... If it doesn't work, I will die before you all.
Your Majesty is a wise ruler rarely seen in history. Since Your Majesty wants to do this, I think he is confident that he can succeed.
So, everyone, go back, and the day after tomorrow, hand over the memorials you have for building the canal to me."
Cao Cao continued, "I believe in Your Majesty. Since Your Majesty is so confident, then this matter will surely succeed.
Once such a huge canal is completed, it will connect the north and the south, and the impact will not only be on the economy.
It can also greatly enhance Your Majesty's centralized power. All in all, this is a matter of greater benefits than disadvantages.
Therefore, I hope you gentlemen will not complain anymore."
"Well, if that's the case, then let's build it!"
“…”

Just as everyone was about to leave, Daji said earnestly, "My lords, you are all the most loyal ministers of the Great Qin. The Great Qin is fortunate to have you.
However, according to the laws of this dynasty, women cannot interfere in government affairs without Your Majesty's permission. From now on, please do not come to me regarding court affairs.
I only hope that you can be loyal to your duties and help His Majesty.
Thank you all very much, and I hope you all will take care of yourselves."
All words are spoken.
Then he saw Daji bowing to him and others.
This suddenly gave rise to a common idea in their minds.
The Qin Dynasty is truly fortunate to have such a virtuous queen!
