In 246 BC ( the first year of Qin Shihuang ), Korea made a unique decision in history in order to make Qin State waste money and people, and sent water conservancy engineer Zheng Guo to Qin State to engage in water conservancy, which made Qin State The government puts all its energy into water conservancy projects, wasting people and money, so that it will not have time to attack South Korea.
Water conservancy engineer Zheng Guo pretended to flee and came to Qin. He persuaded the Qin government to dig a road in Zhongshan (northwest of Jingyang County, Shaanxi Province) to guide Jingshui along the north and south foothills to flow into the Luo River. ( Zheng Guo Canal is located in the southeast of Pucheng County, Shaanxi Province, and flows into the Luo River. It is more than 150 kilometers long from east to west.) Qin Shihuang Ying Zheng agreed to the project plan and ordered Zheng Guo to fully take charge of the project. However, during the construction process, it was discovered that this was a South Korean conspiracy (in order to fatigue the people of Qin and lose Qin's financial, material and human resources), so Qin Shihuang ordered the killing of Zheng. Zheng Guo said: "I came to serve Qin in order to extend South Korea's life for a few years. However, after the canal is completed, Qin will enjoy all the benefits." Qin thought his words were reasonable and ordered him to continue to supervise the project. . The whole project lasted more than ten years. After the canal city, the land with no grass growing in the Qin State was turned into fertile farmland, as many as 40,000 hectares (one hundred acres is one hectare), and the harvest per acre is as high as six dendrobiums and four liters (more than 100 hectares). kilograms), making Qin richer. It greatly increased the national power of Qin State. In order to commemorate Zheng Guo's contribution, the canal was named Zheng Guo Canal.
The author said: The minds of the Korean monarch and ministers in power are indeed extremely stupid. In order to prevent Qin from attacking itself, when it is weak, it should strengthen its allies externally and strengthen itself internally. Instead of engaging in such power tactics to deceive yourself, your top water conservancy projects are not kept in your own country for your own use, but are instead sent to your enemy's country for others to use, and in the end they become someone else's wedding dress.
The Koreans have been a country for a hundred years, but they were only as strong as 20 or 30 years during the Shenbulai Reform period. After the tragic death of Shin Buha , South Korea went back to its old path. It never considered strengthening itself, but only thought about plotting against its enemy. In the end, "it was too clever to be clever". Therefore, South Korea's demise was purely due to its political direction deviating from the focus in order to deceive. , deceitfully seek benefits and harm others. This kind of thinking is essentially wrong.
