I am a nobleman in Spring and Autumn

Chapter 150

It was the first time that Zhao Wuji was taken by Zhiyao to play on a formal occasion after he became the eldest son of the Zhao family, but it seemed that Zhao Wuxie messed up.

There is a gossip that Zhao Wuji was reprimanded by Zhao Yang after returning home. As for what the reprimand was, outsiders don't know.

All in all, in the past, Zhiyao's excellent shooting skills were only known to a small group of people. After a hunt, it first caused a sensation in "Xintian", and with the passage of time and people's movements, it will definitely spread to other countries.

Zhishen, who has been sick for nearly two months, came from Chu and Zheng’s envoys, as well as Fan’s representatives. It would be inappropriate to continue to be sick, and it can even be said that he would continue to get sick under such circumstances. , will most likely lose the authority belonging to "Qing".

Therefore, Zhishen recovered from his illness when he received the envoys from Chu and Zheng on their way to "Xintian".

People who should understand why Zhishen is sick know it, but those who don't understand it is because of the restriction of status and status, which makes the social circle less advanced.

During the period, Zhao Yang sarcastically satirized Zhishen a few words, but after finishing speaking, he didn't say anything more.

Zhao Yang just wanted to express a kind of attitude that "getting sick is not a good way to deal with problems, it seems irresponsible, and it will miss important national affairs", and so on.

Seems like that too?When it’s time to talk about something, if you don’t want to talk about it, you will get sick. If everyone does this, you won’t have to do a lot of things.

Zhishen's personality tends to be weak, and he just accepts Zhao Yang's ridicule. As for what Zhao Yang wants to achieve, Zhi can't accept it as a premise, and it is absolutely impossible to agree just because of embarrassment.

Therefore, Zhao Yang had no choice but to agree to Zhishen's plan, which was to delineate the war zone in terms of how to attack the Fan family, and which family was in charge of which area.

"'Yuan Rong' means that we need to send troops when we go south again." Of course Zhishen did not agree, nor did he refuse.

The season of spring planting has passed, and any major moves in the future will not have a great impact on agriculture. If you want to send troops, you should issue a call-up order.

This time the envoys from the Chu State came, and what they were talking about was that the Chu State had already defeated the Man clan and would occupy the territory belonging to the Man clan. They hoped that the Jin State would not understand too much and cause any unpleasantness.

The Man clan used to belong to one of the buffer zones between the Jin and Chu states. Both countries had the strength to destroy the Man clan in one fell swoop but did not do so. However, now the Chu state has broken that tacit understanding.

Zhao Yang did not entangle too much on whether the Man clan was destroyed, but congratulated Chu on the destruction of the Man clan, and then put forward a claim for sovereignty over the Man clan's territory.

After Zhiyao learned of Zhao Yang's approach, she was very surprised!
Do you know what Zhao Yang said?He said that a certain piece of land belonging to the Man family has belonged to the Jin State since ancient times, and relevant evidence can definitely be found in the local area, such as traces of Jin people's life, leftover pottery, bronze ware, and the like.

That is "since ancient times"!What a lofty statement, especially since the state of Jin has the strength and ability. The explanation was just a way to put aside the controversy before, and the sentence "I didn't want it before, but now I need it" can be qualified.

Of course, we don't talk about "since ancient times" when it comes to territory. If this method works, can the descendants of many alien races who were wiped out by Zhuxia also use this method to ask for their homeland from other countries? I'm going to the sea.

Zhiyao said: "The state of Chu didn't reject it outright?"

Yes, as the official envoy of the Chu State, Gong Zilu did not refuse immediately, and even showed an attitude of being negotiable.

Zhishen said, "Zi Lu mentioned the covenant many times."

What covenant?In fact, it was the "Mie Bing Alliance" that happened five or sixty years ago. The signed alliance was "The servants of Jin and Chu will meet each other." Pay tribute to the state of Jin."

In a fundamental sense, that covenant is more like a piece of waste paper. It is purely to find a reason for the two countries not to have a war every year. It is a kind of temporary truce. The war can be resumed at any time in the future, and the first party to provoke the war It's not a breach of alliance.

Zhao Wu was very lucky that Jin and Chu did not provoke another super war after the "Alliance to Eliminate Soldiers". By the definition of Jin, Zhao Wu led some younger brothers to win the hegemony.

Later, Chu State was violently beaten by Wu State, which made Chu State unable to go northward at all. To a certain extent, Jin State's self-boasting was realized.

Zhiyao thought for a while and said, "In this way, the state of Chu doesn't want to go to war with me, it's just helping Fan and Zheng in private."

Zhishen nodded and said, "'Yuan Rong' is also the conclusion."

They all understand that it is difficult for Chu State to go north until it solves the threat of Wu State.

The state of Chu secretly aiding the Fan family and the state of Zheng?Jin Guo should pretend not to know even if he saw it.This is because Jin is also unable to go south, so it can only pretend to be deaf and dumb.

Of course, Zhao Yang hoped that Zhi's going south, even if he just showed his face, would be beneficial for Jin to deal with Chu, so that Chu would think that Jin's internal conflicts were extremely serious and would interfere more vigorously in Jin's internal turmoil.

"If 'Yuanrong' doesn't want to fight against Chu, my lord may lead his troops to go." Zhiyao knew that the situation had changed, and Zhishi could not cut herself off from the country.

Zhishen said, "I think so too."

The father and son had the same opinion, and the Zhi family took action soon, and the retainers who brought the call-up order went to various fiefdoms.

When the army was recruited, Zhiyao came to "Handan".He mainly assigns tasks for the new year, and then inspects the results achieved last year.

At the same time, the arrival of the new year's warm spring season means that Zhishi will start to attack Dongshan Heidi again.

Cheng Shuo is in charge of attacking Dongshan Heidi. He will lead three "brigades" to continue to conquer the western part of "Gaiyu" and drive Dongshan Heidi away completely.

"Your Majesty, the new army will not move this year?" Zilu knew that the Zhi family had already begun to gather troops, but the new army did not receive any orders.

The current establishment of the Zhi Clan's new army is divided into two parts. The official establishment is [-] people, and there is a reserve team of more than [-] people used to replenish blood.

In other words, it is true that Zhiyao came to "Handan" for inspection, and she also has the task of leading the new army to the war zone.

"How? The soldiers are happy when they hear the battle?" Zhiyao asked.

Last year's attack on Dongshan Heidi, the military rewards have already been handed out.Rewards and punishments have been confirmed again and again, and many people who have made contributions have obtained the benefits, and the punishments that should be punished have also been implemented.

We are serious about transforming Zhiyao, and we absolutely do not allow no reward for meritorious service, so that many people may have obtained a house and a few acres of land, or obtained their own slaves, and have transformed themselves into permanent property owners. people.

In history, Zhao Yang faced a difficult situation in the "Battle of Iron", and he had to extend the rewards to the classes below the "disciples". Even slaves can rely on killing enemies to regain freedom and even wealth.

Zhiyao's career is more like Shang Yang's, the difference is that he doesn't do it with much fanfare, and the level involved is only within Zhishi.

Zilu said very seriously: "The whole army is willing to die for Zhishi!"

The channel of ascension itself is there, but whether many nobles are willing to give rewards depends on their mood, and the rewards and punishments cannot be fair.

No kidding, even if the status is not enough, even if he has made meritorious service, believe it or not, the meritorious service has been embezzled?And this is the treatment of the class above the "disciple". In the past, no matter whether the class below the "discipline" made meritorious service or died, there was no such thing as merit.

Therefore, it is just that Zhiyao extended the "reward" to the class below the "disciple", and achieved "words must be believed, deeds must be resolute", which is enough for the class below the "disciple" to be willing to fight to the death for Zhishi.

Zhiyao said "Good!" first, and then asked: "Do the rest have anything to say?"

In the past, that kind of treatment was only given to the classes above the "Apostles", but the privileges that belonged to them extended to the classes below the "Apostles". It is not surprising that the classes above the "Apostles" have complaints.

Zilu said, "There are few complaints."

In other words, in the past, whether "scholars" and "disciples" were rewarded for their contributions was actually based on the touch of nobles' lips.

Now Zhiyao has come up with a clear system of rewards and punishments, what punishments are given for what mistakes are made, what rewards are given for what credits are made, and rewards and punishments are strictly followed by the rules set by themselves. Some people will feel that their privileges have been violated. More people will definitely be happy because rewards and punishments are clearly defined.

It is equivalent to saying that Zhiyao just created the reward and punishment system, and then strictly implemented it. In fact, it is leading all countries at a certain level, let alone the family level.

"My lord and I have already discussed that rewards and punishments for the Tongxing Zhi family will not be exclusive to the new army." Zhiyao said.

Zilu saluted immediately and shouted, "Congratulations to Mrs. Zhi!"

It must be that Zhiyao knew the situation on the Xinjun side first, and then suggested to Zhishen to implement it in the whole family. One thing must be accompanied by good and bad, which can help the family. The bad part is completely should bear it.

Zhiyao inspected a circle, and saw that the development plan was proceeding in an orderly manner, rewarded the project leaders, and then left "Handan" with the new army and the reserve team.

This time when she came to "Handan", Zhiyao didn't go to see Lao Tzu or Confucius, the reason for not seeing them was that she didn't want to hear their comments on Zhao's succession.

Lao Tzu may only sigh a few words about etiquette collapse and music spoiling.

Confucius must be a fan of all kinds, and even wanted to be known by Zhao Yang through Zhiyao's mouth.

As for why Confucius didn't respond to Zhiyao's non-inheritance of the Zhi family?It's not that cannibalism is short-sighted and soft-hearted, it's basically that being born in the first place means having the right to inherit, and then Zhi's definition of Zhiyao's superiority is Cheng Xiao's initiative and humility.

In addition, Confucius himself is also the second child, and he also inherited the Kong family's foundation.

Zhiyao led the army along the river, and joined Zhixuwu at "Zhongmou". The number of troops under his command was about three "divisions".

"The son is now Yang Youji's second." Zhi Xuwu obviously heard the relevant remarks.

Zhiyao just smiled when she heard this, so she wouldn't say that she didn't want to be the second, but she would be the first if she wanted to.

Zhi Xuwu said again: "Shi Gaoyi has long been waiting for his son."

Who?
Shi Gaoyi?
What are you doing? ? ?
