I Want To Be Qin II

"This is no reason!"

After a while, Ying Gao shook his head: "When I left the two of them in Xiazhou, I trusted their abilities. The others were worried, and neither was my father."

"Over the years, Gu and the imperial court's support for Xiazhou has shown a clear tilt in terms of policies and money."

"However, the results of the two orphans and their father are not satisfactory."

Speaking of this, Ying Gao looked directly at the two of them and said word by word: "The imperial court's strong support for the construction of Xiazhou and Liangzhou has made the rest of the counties in Daqin feel dissatisfied..."

"It's not like I haven't told you two about the importance of Xiazhou, the importance of digging Chidao, and even the importance of Shennong Valley!"

At this time, Ying Gao was very dissatisfied with Meng Yi and Wang Li.

In his opinion, no reason could change the fundamental reason for Meng Yi and Wang Li's dereliction of duty.

…

In the study room, the atmosphere was dead silent for a while.

Whether it is Wang Li or Meng Yi, they can actually see that Ying Gao is dissatisfied with their work and just considers some factors to save face for them.

As soon as they thought about this, Meng Yi and Wang Li looked at each other and fell silent. The words even came to their lips, but they could no longer be said.

Because they all know that no matter how many reasons or excuses there are, no one can change the problem of the two of them dereliction of duty.

"I have neglected my duties, please punish me!" At this moment, Meng Yi and Wang Li could not help but bow solemnly to Ying Gao and said.

"snort!"

With a cold snort, Ying Gao looked directly at the two of them and said in a cold tone: "The sooner the Chi Road is opened, the more stable Da Qin will be."

"The Great Qin's march to the east and annexation of other countries will require a protracted war. At this time, supplies are very important. Now due to Chi Dao, the Silk Road is restricted..."

"The arrangements I once made are only half effective due to your delay..."

"One of you is my father's confidant, and the other is Gu's confidant. There are some things that I won't hide from you."

"If you two feel that the matter is difficult and you are not capable of doing it, then you will step aside and send someone from Xianyang to take over."

"..."

Ying Gao's words were serious.

However, Meng Yi and Wang Li did not dare to refute. They both knew that Ying Gao entrusted such an important matter to them because of trust.

Now that they can't do it, they have betrayed the trust of Ying Gao and Ying Zheng, and they feel extremely ashamed.

"We have to wait for the punishment first. Meng Yi is going to make preparations. I want to inspect the Chidao construction site!" Ying Gao pondered for a long time and said to Meng Yi.

"promise."

Nodding in agreement, Meng Yi smiled awkwardly and said to Ying Gao: "Prince, the banquet is ready. If you don't eat it, it will get cold..."

"Well, let's have a meal first and then inspect the Chidao construction site." Having said this, Ying Gao turned to Meng Yi and said, "Don't tell the other side of Shennong Valley, I want to see the real situation."

"promise."

…

The small banquet began and everyone ate separately. After trekking all the way, Ying Gao was also a little hungry. In order to speed up their march, they all ate dry army rations.

The main ones are mutton jerky, which can be eaten with water to satisfy hunger, but the taste cannot be taken into consideration at all. During the march, satisfying hunger is the best way.

Taking a bite of hot rice at this moment made Ying Gao feel happy. He was the crown prince of a country, but he lived his life like a big-headed soldier.

Drinking is prohibited in the army. Since Wang Ben, Wang Li, Tie Ying, Ying Gao and others were not in a position to drink, Meng Yi and Zhang Liang looked at each other and had no choice but to drink herbal tea and move their eyes away from the jug.

After the meal, Ying Gao gave orders to Wang Li and said: "This time, it is enough for Meng Yi to take Gu and Uncle Wang. Wan Shengjun and the Iron Eagle Warriors are enough to put an end to all turmoil."

"Don't use the army in Xiazhou for now. You will be in charge personally."

"promise."

Nodding in agreement, Wang Li looked as usual. He knew in his heart that this was his responsibility. Naturally, he didn't know as much as Meng Yi about matters on Chidao.

Xiazhou cannot be in chaos, and he does not dare to let his father Wang Ben sit in control of Yuecheng.

Otherwise, my butt will explode when we wait for two people. The old Wang family has always been very rough, and I don't feel any pressure at all when beating my son.

At home, he often saw the old man beating his father, and he often got beaten by his father. He was fine at home, but this was Yuecheng, and he was the captain of Xiazhou.

Wang Li is also a face-conscious person.

After eating and drinking, everyone headed towards the Chidao Project, especially the Iron Eagle warriors and the Wansheng Army guards, who were as powerful as a rainbow.

The army was rampant, and an hour later, they arrived at the project closest to Moon City. Perhaps they had gotten wind of it, and the construction team and slaves were working hard.

Looking at Chi Dao, who was still in the digging stage, Ying Gao felt his head grow bigger. He couldn't get out the black powder at the moment.

Ying Gao knew in his heart that when gunpowder was used in military affairs, the biggest beneficiary was never Great Qin, so he was researching it but did not propose it.

"Your Majesty, the mountain is solid and stretches for dozens of miles. If you want to completely penetrate the Chi Road in Xiazhou, you must dig a passage. Although there are equipment sent by the Shaofu Monk's Workshop, it will be extremely difficult."

Meng Yi smiled bitterly and spoke to Ying Gao, saying: "This is one of the reasons why the Chi Road in Xiazhou has not been opened. At the same time, there is another point that there is too much rain, which can easily cause collapse."

"This resulted in many projects that had just been excavated and cleared out, but suffered collapse, causing rework and delaying time."

…

After looking at the Chidao excavation site, Ying Gao couldn't help but shook his head: "Mengzhou Mu, this matter is not impossible to solve, at least it can be alleviated a little."

"Especially when it rains continuously and excavation is difficult, we should abandon the current model and completely disconnect excavation and construction. "

"It should be changed to synchronize excavation and construction. After the front foot is excavated, the back foot is built immediately. After reinforcement with reinforced concrete, collapse will naturally not occur."

"It's just that it's very difficult to dig. There's no good way to do it right now. We can only dig it manually."

"If there are not enough manpower, let Wang Li attack the land of Baiyue and plunder the young men to supplement the lack of slaves, so as to speed up the excavation and penetration of the Chi Road."

"Don't be afraid of sacrifice. For Great Qin's control over Xiazhou and Liangzhou, and for the prosperity of Xiazhou, it is inevitable that some slaves will die."

Ying Gao's words were extremely indifferent. At this moment, both Wang Ben and Meng Yi took it for granted.

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, in such an era, human life was the least valuable. They were used to seeing life and death and had already become indifferent.

As long as they are not from Old Qin, as long as they are not great Qin warriors, no matter how many others die, they will not be moved.
