"Your Highness is wise. I will go back and make a plan and submit it to Your Highness for review when the time comes." Li Yu nodded seriously. His Highness is methodical and humble. The future of the Qin Dynasty is bright.
After seeing Li Yu and the others off, Zhao Qingrui took out a map. The Lingqu Canal connected the Xiangjiang River and the Lijiang River, opening up a north-south waterway.
This is just the original Lingqu Canal, which has not been expanded through the ages. It is just an artificial canal connecting the Xiangjiang River and the Lijiang River.
However, there were still many places in Daqin that were short of water, and the construction of artificial rivers had to continue, which made the later Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal very necessary.
But there are still too few people now, and the country needs to continue to strengthen its national strength and continue to recuperate.
Of course, if we could make more tools, such as excavators, it would reduce a lot of trouble.
However, this is just wishful thinking, at least it is not realistic now.
It was also available in the system mall, but she couldn't afford it now. Buying two phones had already depleted her small coffers.
Even if she had points, she wouldn't buy it. Things like this can be made sooner or later, so there's no need to waste money on it.
She really wants to engage in infrastructure construction now, but the situation in Daqin does not allow her to do too much. Otherwise, the stable Daqin will fall into the same state of collapse as her father did before, and her efforts will be in vain.
Alas, I can only take it slowly.
There are still many things she wants to do. The current money in the national treasury cannot support her large-scale infrastructure construction, and it is not enough for the people.
Thinking about this, Zhao Qingrui felt uncomfortable.
I hope my father can defeat the Xiongnu and Yuezhi tribes as soon as possible, so that we can have a large number of prisoners of war and slaves.
When the time comes, we will send all these people to build whatever they want to build.
He silently cheered his father up. At this time, the morale of Shangjun was very high because they had won a battle with fewer troops. Even Ying Zheng was very happy.
He walked on the Great Wall with Meng Tian and Li Xin, gazing at the grassland outside the wall. After defeating those tribes, he would definitely fence off this place, raise more cattle, sheep and horses, and make Hetao a horse breeding base, raising countless war horses for the Qin Dynasty.
Touching the sword at his waist, if it weren't for Meng Tian and the others persuading him, he would have led his army to attack the Xiongnu tribes.
"Your Majesty, don't be careless. The current Xiongnu Chanyu is the son of Touman Chanyu. Unlike Touman Chanyu, this Maodun Chanyu is definitely a vicious wolf." Meng Tian still attaches great importance to Maodun Chanyu.
"I know this. How great it would be if such a talent was born in my Great Qin." Ying Zheng sighed.
"Your Majesty, Daqin is now full of talented people. There is no need for Your Majesty to worry." Li Xin said respectfully.
Ever since he came to Shangjun, he found that there were many outstanding generals in the army, and even he couldn't help but admire them.
General Han Xin was unparalleled in wisdom and courage, Zhu Yan was fierce, and Feng Haicheng, who was transferred from Lingnan, killed the Huns one by one.
There are still many such talents. Once the war officially begins, this battlefield will belong to them.
I’m so old, I can’t help but accept it, Li Xin sighed.
Fortunately, these generals are all from the Qin Dynasty. If they were enemies, it would be troublesome.
However, since he started practicing that physical training method, he could feel his own improvement. Once His Majesty agreed, he would be able to lead the troops to attack the Huns.
"Li Qing is right." Looking at the soldiers standing on duty as tall as pine trees, Ying Zheng felt better. With such Qin elites, it would not be difficult to unify the entire world.
"Report." Just as they were talking, the scout came back quickly on horseback.
"What did you find?" Meng Tian immediately walked over and asked.
"Your Majesty, General Meng, we've discovered traces of the Huns. A small group of them are sneaking into the border of the Great Wall with unknown intentions." The scout said respectfully and quickly reported the intelligence he had discovered.
The Xiongnu were going to sneak into the Great Wall? What were they planning to do? Meng Tian frowned unconsciously.
"Keep exploring and report immediately if you have any intelligence." Meng Tian looked at the scout seriously.
"Yes." The scout took the order and left.
Meng Tian came over and reported the information to Ying Zheng.
"Order the sharp soldiers on duty on the Great Wall to strengthen their vigilance and increase the number of people on duty to avoid being attacked by the enemy." Ying Zheng said in a deep voice.
The situation on the Xiongnu side was not very clear, and Sui Shicong did not send back much news. The Xiongnu side was also under martial law, making it even more difficult for him to convey information.
Now it's just a formal test, with a few small fights, but there hasn't been a formal confrontation between the two armies.
At evening, a sharp sword shot at the city gate, with a roll of sheepskin hanging on it.
Meng Tian presented the sheepskin to Ying Zheng and said, "Your Majesty, this is a declaration of war. It stipulates that the two armies will face each other in three days."
"Three days from now, the entire army will be under martial law to prevent sneak attacks." Ying Zheng glanced at the parchment with a grim expression.
"promise."
"Your Majesty, I am willing to be the vanguard." Li Xin stepped forward quickly. If he didn't show his ability, the opportunity would be snatched away by others. He also needed to make a contribution.
Ying Zheng looked at Li Xin quietly, his eyes deep. "Yes, Li Xin will lead an army of 50,000 men for this battle. He will be assisted by Wang Yuan, Han Xin, and Chu Yan. This battle must bring glory to the Qin Empire."
"I obey your command." Li Xin was ecstatic. His Majesty actually gave him this opportunity, and he was the chief general. This time, he would not let His Majesty down again.
Wang Yuan and the other two were also very excited. The opportunity to make a contribution was right in front of them.
No one was afraid at all. After the first exploratory confrontation, they could feel that they were much stronger than the Hun soldiers.
