"If an empire wants to be established, it must make every class have hope so that the empire will be stable." Wu Chenzi said.

Ying Zheng frowned. He didn't know much about Taoist scriptures, but he knew that Wu Chenzi was right, but he still didn't understand it very much. Taoist words are like this and will not tell you how to do it directly. It's all for you to think about it and do it yourself.

Wu Chenzi sighed. When manpower is exhausted, not all experiences in later generations can be suitable for the present. He is not able to know everything about the present, so he can only tell Ying Zheng one direction, let Ying Zheng and Qin find a way by themselves. As long as the general direction is correct, try it a few more times below and you will always find a suitable way.

"You are still young, I am still young, and Daqin is just as young. We have enough time to create slowly." Wu Chenzi said.

Ying Zheng nodded. He was still young and had enough time to slowly understand and improve Qin.

"Let's have a break early and take you to the dike tomorrow." Wu Chenzi said.

Ying Zheng nodded and then fell asleep together. He was really too tired today. It was the first time he did such a farm work.

Wu Chenzi glanced at Ying Zheng and thought about it. He seemed that he hadn't done much farm work. Should he try it too? But when he saw the blisters on Ying Zheng's hand, he instantly gave up his thoughts. Why don't you bask in the sun more to make yourself saltier?

The next morning, Wu Chenzi took Ying Zheng away from the village and rushed towards the river embankment. This was not the main road of the river, but the channel. Therefore, the people who built it were only villagers from some nearby villages and water workers sent by the Qin government.

"I have seen two wizards!" Seeing Wu Chenzi and Ying Zheng, the water workers on the river bank also hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

"Are you a water worker in charge of this section of the river and canal?" Wu Chenzi asked.

"Yes, I didn't plan to build this section of the canal. Later, a Taoist and Mohist disciple wrote to the government and personally explored it. It is said that after the canal is completed, it can increase the surrounding land by thousands of acres of land." said the water worker.

Ying Zheng's eyes narrowed, and thousands of acres of fertile land were no longer small numbers, and it was also a land area.

"How long will it take to complete?" Wu Chenzi asked.

"It has been completed, and some Taoist disciples and Mo family disciples personally inspected it? There are also approvals from the Ministry of Waterworks." said the waterworks.

"Since the construction is completed, why do you need to build it?" Ying Zheng asked.

"Because Taoist masters said that this section of river canal can only be used for fifty years? It needs to be rebuilt. If you want to use it for a hundred years, you need to rebuild the river embankment? The more compact the river embankment, the longer it will last? So these villagers came spontaneously." said the water worker.

Wu Chenzi and Ying Zheng both nodded and patrolled the river embankment accompanied by water workers. The river embankment is not wide, about seven or eight meters? But it is very long? It extends into the invisible mountains, and then divides the thin streams day by day like spider webs spread all over the surrounding land.

"Have you started to release water yet?" Wu Chenzi asked. Now the river bank is only surrounded by small rivers, so there is only a small stream in the river channel.

"After acceptance, we could have let go of water? But the villagers said that they could have made their generation suffer? But they could not have made future generations suffer, so they are re-strengthening and consolidating the river embankment." The water workers replied.

Wu Chenzi nodded and said, "You go and do it too, let's take a look."

The water worker nodded and went to work on his own again for a few days.

"Brother? Didn't you say you can come to find water? Why are you still tamping the river embankment here?" Ying Zheng ran to the river embankment and asked a big man with a naked upper body waving a wooden hammer.

The man glanced at Ying Zheng? Seeing his own Taoist robe, he hurriedly stopped. He replied awkwardly and said with an unstandard bow, "I don't know why? But your mage said, "This place can only be used for fifty years?" If we continue to consolidate, we can use it for fifty years, so I will come. Anyway, my generation is used to suffering, so we can't let future generations be like me."

"And I have calculated that after opening the gate and opening the water, my family will be divided into ten acres of land, so that my family can afford a study kid. So the longer it can be used, the more study kids I can produce. Sooner or later, there will be a promising person who can walk out of this mountain and become a high-ranking official in Xianyang." A hint of shrewd smile flashed in the eyes of the man.

Wu Chenzi looked at the big man, then nodded and said, "Your family will be out of the county lord within three generations."

The man looked at Wu Chenzi, was ecstatic, and shouted directly to the villagers around him: "Have you heard that the master said that my family will leave the county lord within three generations, and then my family will be a gentry."

Other villagers also looked at the Han Dynasty with envy. Taoism in this era generally did not criticize people for their lives, but once they criticize their lives, there were almost very few mistakes.

Ying Zheng also looked at Wuchenzi and the big man, a little puzzled. How could Wuchenzi know that his family would leave the county magistrate?

"Do you wonder why I said that?" Wu Chenzi asked.

Ying Zheng nodded. He knew that Taoism knew some skills of life criticism, but Wu Chenzi did not look at the big man carefully just now, but spoke casually.

"In fact, the technique of criticizing fate is not as mysterious as you think. It just gives people hope, and then this person will work hard in this direction, and with some opportunities, they will succeed." Wu Chenzi said.

"So you just gave him a hope?" Ying Zheng said to the big man who was trying harder to swing the hammer.

"Not that, do you know how much it costs to provide a home for a study?" Wu Chenzi asked back.

Ying Zheng shook his head. He had never calculated this before, and he didn't know how much it was.

"It takes at least one ten acre family to work hard to support a full-time scholar, and he just can meet this condition. If I didn't tell him that his family could have a county magistrate, do you know what they will be like in the future?" Wu Chenzi asked again.

Ying Zheng shook his head again.

"He will give birth to many children. After all, one more child means one more labor force, but there is also one more mouth. Once he dies, the ten acres of land will be divided, and his family will no longer be able to support a scholar. However, I told him that after his family will have a county magistrate, he will have only two children, one inherits his land and supports the other to study, and they will not separate, and they will do their best to cultivate their next generation and slowly form a family with scholars. It is actually no longer important whether there is a county magistrate." Wu Chenzi said.

Ying Zheng immediately understood as Wu Chenzi saw that Wu Chenzi gave the man a hope, and then allowed him to establish a family with scholars. Moreover, with Wu Chenzi's order criticism, he would work harder to create an environment for his descendants to study with peace of mind.

After leaving the river bank and returning to the small village, Wu Chenzi took Ying Zheng and Li Zheng to say goodbye and continued to walk to the next village.

This is a relatively large village, near the main canal, but it is composed of migrant workers who built river embankments. After they came to build the Zhengguo Canal, they settled here. There are more than a hundred households in the village, which is the largest village in the surrounding area.

"I have seen two wizards." The old man at the entrance of the village stopped chatting when he saw them and saluted them.

Wu Chenzi and Ying Zheng both replied with a bow, and then said, "Dear old men, I'm not a day, can I ask if there is a place in the village to spend some time?"

"There is a scholar's residence at the east end of the village for scholars to live in. People usually clean it up, so the two wizards can go there for temporary residence." An old man said with a guide.

"Thank you, my father-in-law." Wu Chenzi nodded and thanked him.

Wu Chenzi brought Ying Zheng to the residence of Shizi. This was established by Qin State since Duke Xiaogong, for scholars from all over the country to live in, and provided free food and copper coins for scholars to use on their way.

Shiziju is also the most luxurious residence in the entire village. The independent courtyard wall is painted black and it has all the internal organs.

"I have seen two wizards, please show your certificate." Li Zheng had already received a notice from the child that a foreign guest had arrived, so he came to wait for them in advance.

Wu Chenzi handed him the Taoist certificate, and the inside was checked, and then he invited them in, and there was already a scholar living inside.

"I have met two fellow Taoists." The scholar was wearing Confucian uniform and was obviously a Confucian scholar.

"I have met a Confucian fellow Taoists." Wu Chenzi and Ying Zheng returned to the courtesy.

"My name is Chen Ping, from Yangwu County." The Confucian scholar said.

Wu Chenzi's eyes narrowed. Chen Ping was still a Yangwu native, and his age was similar to that in history. It was obviously that Chen Ping.

"Have you heard of Taoist Wu Chenzi?" Wu Chenzi said.

"Wuchenzi?" Chen Ping was stunned for a moment. He just went out to travel and actually met a big figure among the hundreds of schools of thought.

"I have met the National Master!" Chen Ping immediately bowed and said.

"This is a great talent in Qin State." Wu Chenzi whispered to Ying Zheng.

Ying Zheng looked at Chen Ping. Chen Ping was the same name as his, with an ordinary appearance, but since Wu Chenzi's name is a great talent, he must have his own talents.

"Are you traveling to Qin?" Wu Chenzi asked.

Chen Ping nodded. He went out to travel to seek an official position. Because Li Si and Han Fei entered Qin and began to prepare for secondary reforms, he knew that this was his opportunity, so he had to be familiar with the current situation of Qin and then recommend himself.

"Why did the National Master come here?" Chen Ping looked at Wu Chenzi and asked. He was so young and demeanor, so he did not suspect that Wu Chenzi was lying to him. It was just that there was something inconsistent that Wu Chenzi was lying to him. It was rumored that Wu Chenzi had beauty around him when he went in and out, but now he was a young man, which was a little surprised.

"Take Han Fei to Qin State, do you want to go with me?" Wu Chenzi replied.

Chen Ping looked at Ying Zheng and understood that the second reform of Qin State was that Han Fei wanted to learn from Shang Yang to travel around the Qin State's countryside to understand the Qin State's people's nature, so Wu Chenzi was taking Han Fei to travel.

"I dare not ask for anything I wish. Ping has seen Gongzi Fei." Chen Ping bowed to Wuchenzi and then bowed to Ying Zheng.

Ying Zheng also knew that Wu Chenzi was hiding his identity for him, so he bowed back to his gift: "I have never met Junior Brother Chen Ping."

Thanks for the rewards that flutter with the wind, especially for the extra update!
