Yiwu promised to the Marquis of Qin that as long as he was sent back to his country to inherit the position of Marquis of Jin, he would donate the land east of Hedong to Qin. And just in case, Yiwu also promised to the powerful officials in the country that as long as he ascended the throne of Jinhou, he would give them land.
In order to successfully ascend the throne, Yiwu can be said to have hedged his bets.
Yiwu received help from the Marquis of Qin and returned to Jin under the escort of the army. After successfully succeeding as the king, the Marquis of Jin began to show off his operations. First, he used the power of the Marquis of Qin to control the country, suppressed the domestic officials, and never mentioned the so-called fiefdom.
He also took the opportunity to kill the ministers who killed the previous Jinhou, and completely took control of the government.
The Marquis of Qin watched the Marquis of Jin's operations and supported the Marquis of Jin. Watching him cut off the wings of the domestic ministers, take control of the government, and secure his position as the Marquis of Jin. But he never expected that the Marquis of Jin never thought of gifting the land east of Hedong to the Marquis of Qin.
After he was completely established as the Marquis of Jin, he immediately turned against him and completely disowned the land east of Hedong that he had promised before. The Marquis of Qin could only lead his army back home. The Marquis of Qin was deceived by him just like the previous officials and nobles.
Such a coquettish operation by the Marquis of Jin shocked a large number of princes, and many princes even lost their enthusiasm for escorting other princes back home. The Marquis of Qin went to great lengths to escort the prince of another country back to his country, but was treated like a fool.
...
All the big countries in the world were in trouble, which gave Huai the opportunity to develop with peace of mind.
Since Wang Yong came to the throne, various natural disasters have occurred in the world. Although the Huai Kingdom has not been greatly affected because of the protection of the star observatory, there is a problem in the Huai River.
Heavy rains in the upper reaches of the Huaihe River caused frequent flooding in the Huaihe River, and even the river changed its course. The Huaiguo State was also deeply affected. The flooding of the Huaihe River directly affected the Huaiguo's grain output and the operation of the canal.
However, there are no officials in the Huai Kingdom who are good at controlling water. Wang Yong issued an edict to search for good flood control ministers throughout the country, but no capable ministers came. Not everyone can do such a difficult project as water control.
If it is cured, the merit will be immeasurable; if it is not cured, it will be a cold.
Due to abundant rainfall in the Huai Kingdom, the Huai River, Si River, Yishui River and many other floods forced Wang Yong to use the effect of the observatory. Every time he used it, he consumed a lot of luck, and every time he used it, it would be harmful to his body. Cause some damage.
After failing to find a suitable minister capable of controlling floods, Wang Yong suddenly remembered the destiny artifact passed down by his family. Immediately came to the ancestral temple, worshiped, and then chose to use the recruitment order.
The token in his hand instantly turned into a cloud of smoke, then went straight into the sky and disappeared. Wang Yong was surprised and doubtful that the recruitment order had disappeared, but after looking for a while, he didn't find anything, let alone any great talents coming out.
However, his ancestors had spoken with certainty, and he also had the master's ring artifact in his hand, which made Wang Yong believe in the power of these destiny artifacts, so after paying homage to his ancestors, Wang Yong returned to the palace.
In the cave world, Zijue, who was sleeping, was suddenly awakened.
[Your descendants use the Recruitment Order to successfully recruit Nine-Star Great Sages, and your family’s influence on history will increase. 】
Zijue was slightly startled when he heard this system prompt. He was a descendant with incredible luck. Although the Talent Recruitment Order could recruit talented people, the people recruited were also of different levels, with the lowest being three stars and the highest being ten stars. The higher the star rating, the lower the chance.
His descendant actually recruited a Nine-Star Great Sage at once. You must know that there are only a few talents of this level in the vast history.
As for those with ten stars, they are even rarer. But each of them is a great talent who can stabilize the country and rule the world.
Talents with three stars can govern a county, talents with five stars can govern states and counties, talents with six stars can be officials of the court, talents with seven stars can be prime ministers and assistants, and talents with eight stars or above can be prime ministers.
After he returned to the palace, after a while, several attendants hurried over and reported to him: "Your Majesty, you have posted a list to recruit people for water control, and one person has just signed up!"
"A great sage is here? Bring him here quickly!" Wang Yong looked overjoyed. As soon as he used the order to recruit sages, someone came. The great sage recruited this time must be this person.
"But your Majesty..." Several attendants hesitated.
"But what?" Wang Yong asked.
"Your Majesty, that man is short, bald, and very ugly. How could he be a great sage?" said a guard next to him.
"How can you judge someone by their appearance? Go and invite them over, don't be rude!" Wang Yong said angrily after hearing this.
Several guards turned pale with fright, and quickly bowed and saluted, then quickly rushed to the palace gate and respectfully invited the man back. After entering the main hall, Wang Yong looked at the man, and as expected, he told the guards that this man was indeed ugly.
He is more than five feet tall, with sparse and messy hair. He looks a little sloppy and ugly, but his eyes are bright and clear, and he seems to be able to see through everything at a glance.
"You rough country people, please pay homage to Duke Huai!" After seeing Wang Yong, this man paid homage to Wang Yong.
"No courtesy, sir, please get up!" Wang Yong said with a smile.
"Sir, I don't know what the name is? Do you have any ideas for water control?"
"Your Majesty, my name is Sun Shu'ao and I'm paying homage to Duke Huai!" Sun Shu'ao continued, "I have a plan to control the water!"
When Zijue heard that this man was called Sun Shuao, he also smiled in his heart. This man was not inferior to Guan Zhongxian at all. He was indeed a nine-star talent.
Wang Yong became interested and asked him to tell it again.
So Sun Shuao described in detail how he controlled the water. Wang Yong nodded his head in agreement.
Sun Shuao's method of water control was combined with the method of water control of Dayu in ancient times, and added some of his own unique insights, such as digging a reservoir in some low-lying parts and converting some valleys to store water, preparing to let the water in the Huaihe River Water sources gather here.
In this way, when there is a lot of water, the gates will be opened to store water to prevent excessive water from flooding both banks and reducing the river from bursting its banks. When the amount of water is low, the water in the reservoir is released to fight drought. At the same time, the water from these reservoirs can also be used to irrigate farmland.
At the same time, rivers were dredged and water conservancy projects were constructed to irrigate farmland.
Sun Shuao's story was recognized by Wang Yong. At the same time, Sun Shuao also had great ideas in governing the country. Wang Yong talked with Sun Shuao for three days in a row, and finally issued an edict to appoint Sun Shuao as the magistrate of Huai'an, responsible for presiding over the construction of water conservancy projects in the Huaihe River and Sishui River.
Sun Shuao took the order and then recruited 100,000 people to start dredging the rivers and connecting the Huaiguo waterways, which could not only dredge floods but also irrigate farmland. At the same time, reservoirs will be built in low-lying areas and some valleys will be converted into reservoirs to store water.
Wang Yong recruited dozens of academy students to study with Sun Shuao, and helped Sun Shuao control floods and build water conservancy projects. At the same time, the geography and hydrology of Huai State were recorded.
