Ten thousand people dug together, digging quickly on the ground.
Bai Ping was checking back and forth with his hands behind his back, and the craftsmen of the Qin Army were constantly directing him.
The route to be dug, the width of the dig, etc. were all surveyed in advance.
"You, take people to move the rocks."
For a whole night, the Zhao irrigation canal, which was about five miles long, four feet at its widest point, only two feet at its narrowest point, and no more than one foot deep, was forcibly changed and moved three and a half miles north.
Many iconic stones and trees were also dug up and moved.
The original river channel was filled with the excavated soil.
At dawn, Bai Ping had already taken people away and cleaned up as many traces on the ground as possible.
At about ten o'clock in the morning, a team of ten Zhao Jun cavalry came out of the city and patrolled along the border.
One of them suddenly asked: "Why do you feel like you arrived at this ditch not long after leaving the city?"
Another person laughed and said: "Maybe you changed the horse and this horse ran faster."
Everyone laughed.
Zhao Jun's cavalry patrol didn't pay much attention to it.
The short five miles passed by on horseback in a while, and then they patrolled farther away.
It started to rain heavily that afternoon and continued for two days.
When it rained, the Japanese slaves still went out late at night, digging and moving some untreated rocks and trees.
The most important thing is the boundary monument.
In the rain, the patriarchs of two minor nobles, Han and Wei, and two master craftsmen of the Qin army stood beside Bai Ping.
"General Bai, this is not enough.
We only moved it a little and it only stuck to one side of the mining area.
That fire earth is very important to our Great Qin, we must dig it."
After the master finished speaking, a young Korean noble came forward to offer advice: "We have a plan.
We can dig wells at the border and then dig through the ground."
The master craftsman shook his head: "If the Zhao people know that this is fire soil, they will definitely excavate on a large scale.
So if we want to find a way to occupy this mining area, let General Bai make the decision."
Bai Ping scratched his head.
This method of moving the border was thought up by a sergeant from the Wei people.
It works.
But it's not enough.
The little nobleman from Wei State stepped forward and said, "General, I have a plan."
"Tell me and listen"
"To build a kiln, we will build a kiln here on the border.
Now we know that there is a high-quality porcelain stone mine over there, and we can buy it."
Bai Ping turned his head: "Buy" "Yes, just buy it.
How much does it cost for a cart of stones?
Let the Zhao people dig it, and then bring it over for us to buy.
Then we find an excuse to buy stones and soil.
The Huo Tu Zhao people don't know, we only say it is for burning bricks, they But they don’t know that the ingredients and techniques used to bake fire-earth bricks are just ordinary bricks.”
Bai Ping heard the smell: "You mean, build a kiln here to produce porcelain."
"You can't make high-grade porcelain here, unless a master craftsman comes to study new ingredients based on the materials here.
As far as we know, the materials here can only make low-grade porcelain.
It's just a pretense."
After hearing what the little noble said, Bai Ping shook his head: "No, I will take care of the matters of the master craftsman.
I will ask Mr.
Dahe to make the decision.

I will build a kiln here and assign you tasks.
This fight must continue.
Fight."
Until the Zhao people are afraid, then more than half of the Zhao people in the whole city will depend on us for food. " "promise."
Right or wrong, Bai Ping is the leader, and this status represents his right to speak.
Even if it's wrong, since Bai Ping has made a decision, the rest of the people just need to do it.
The small nobles on both sides of Han and Wei immediately left to distribute their manpower.
Bai Ping asked the master craftsmen around him again: "Two craftsmen, the fire brick materials here are indeed of the highest quality."
"Report to General Bai, superior.
There are several kinds of materials used for fire bricks, and there happens to be one of them all here.
Here are fire brick earth, fire brick white stone, and fire brick crystal stone."
Craftsmen have their own names for the materials.
Fire brick clay is refractory clay, white stone is dolomite containing silicon and aluminum, and wollastonite.
Wollastonite is also a material needed in Qin's current porcelain formula.
This time, the miners from Qin State were eyeing refractory clay and wollastonite.
Refractory clay is almost impossible to find in the Guanzhong Plain.
According to the territory controlled by the Qin State, there is some in Jiupu, but it cannot be transported out.
There is it in Henan and Shanxi, but I haven't found it yet.
This unexpected discovery cannot be let go.
And it’s right on the surface, so you can just dig it.
The only trouble is that according to the map, that area belongs to the Linli Town of Zhao State, which makes the Qin State craftsmen scratch their heads.
Next, Bai Hui gave Bai Ping the order to cause trouble.
Let’s talk about Linlu Yi.
In the city, the magistrate and the guard were sitting face to face.
Next to them were either kneeling or crawling on the ground.
The people crawling on the ground could only choose this posture because their legs were broken.
The county magistrate is also surnamed Bai, which is still different from Bai Qi and Bai Hui.
His branch comes from the Baifu branch of the Yandi tribe.
The guard general's surname is Zhao, which has nothing to do with the Zhao family.
Ordinary soldiers have no names or surnames.
After meritorious service and promotion, they are given the surname Zhao.
Many soldiers in the Zhao army had surnames like this.
The county magistrate Bai Dan and the guard Zhao Xi.
The two men were asking about the details of the fight.
"You said it was because some people from the Wei people crossed the border to hunt, and then they were beaten, and the deer they hunted were also taken away."
A person crawling on the ground replied: "That's right.
The deer is very unusual.
The antlers are three feet long.
They can't let them take away such a deer."
When hunters come out to hunt on the border, crossing the border is not a fault at all.
To be honest about this matter, the people here in Zhao State are greedy for that deer.
The deer was dead, and its head was lifted up.
"This."
Bai Dan walked up to the deer head and stared at it for a long time: "It's strange, I have never seen such huge antlers."
Deer, shooting among the six arts of Confucianism, is actually shooting deer.

After the Han Dynasty, only emperors could hunt deer, and ordinary deer hunting required decapitation.
During the Warring States Period, deer were a kind of prey that could be sold to the homes of great nobles in exchange for heavy rewards, especially deer with huge antlers.
Unfortunately, neither Bai Dan nor Zhao Xi are zoologists.
Otherwise, they would definitely know that in this place in Jin, there are musk deer, muntjac, and sika deer, but there is no way there would be such a huge deer head.
This deer is a red deer from Liaodong, a giant deer species that can weigh up to 200 kilograms. , that’s why there are such huge antlers.
To put it more bluntly, this is a trap.
Bai Dan asked again: "Then what's next?"
"Next, the Wei people called a group of miners.
They were digging coal ten miles away.
They had no weapons, only wooden sticks, so we also used wooden sticks to fight.
The Wei people couldn't fight, but the Koreans twenty miles east Several hundred people came, and then more than five hundred people from Wei came.
We had no choice but to ask the general for instructions."
Zhao Xi nodded: "Well, I only knew at that time that the Zhao people were fighting with the Koreans and Wei people on the border.
They did not use swords and soldiers, only wooden sticks, so they mobilized 2,000 defenders to help
