I am a nobleman in Spring and Autumn

Chapter 209 This wave, Zhi's blood earned

In Zhiyao's strategic core plan, Zhishi focuses on the development around "Handan", and it will move to the northeast when the development of "Handan" is completed.

In other words, where is the northeast direction of "Handan"?It is called Hejian in modern times, and it will be called Rao in the Warring States period.

Because there are differences in the landscape of mountains and rivers in different periods, and considering geopolitical factors, perhaps a certain place that is extremely important in a certain era may become insignificant in the next era.

It's not that Zhiyao has never thought about developing towards the southwest of "Handan". There will be a city of Ye in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and if it is occupied, it will have great strategic value for controlling North China.

What's the question?Zhishi has already developed the surrounding area of ​​"Handan", and it is really unnecessary and a double waste to go to the southwest of "Handan" to carry out large-scale projects within a distance of no more than 150 miles.

Zhishi’s second five-year plan chose Hejian, thousands of miles northeast of "Handan". To put it bluntly, it is to be built to form a corner with "Xianyu". While completing military deployment, it can also develop the surrounding area. , to make advance arrangements for Qi to launch a war of annihilation, and even become a forward base for a war against Beiyan one day in the future.

Therefore, it is best to hold "Yuan", one of the two major grain-producing areas of Jin, in your hands, and it is not such a pity to give it to other families.

"My family's land in the western region is useless." Zhiyao's words were a bit harsh, but it was due to Zhi's strategic development focus, not because the quality of the fief over there was too poor.

Zhishen is waiting for the first five-year plan around "Handan" to be completed, and then look at the subsequent benefits. Even if he is spoiled and has enough confidence in Zhiyao's vision, he still has a lot of feelings about giving up the western fiefdom. concern.

It is simply that Zhiyao didn't mention that she even wanted to give up "Zhi", otherwise Zhishen would not be able to accept it emotionally, and the rest of the tribe should be dumbfounded.

Taking this time as an example, the Zhao family can accept being cut apart from "Zhao" and "Jinyang". Firstly, their ancestors were buried in "Zhao" and "Jinyang" is the focus of future development of the Zhao family.

As long as the "Zhao" land and "Jinyang" still belong to the Zhao family, if they fall this time, they will still have a chance to get up in the future. If they can't even keep these two places, don't blame them for their desperate struggle.

Which family wanted to get that piece of land, did they get it, etc. Zhishen threw out the issue of fief replacement, and everyone was a little dumbfounded.

"Where does it belong to each family? It's not because of this place, but because of who is next to it?" Zhishen asked.

Everyone still didn't speak.

Everyone is very pursuing who to be neighbors with, so they are not willing to be neighbors with aggressive families. Even if there is no big fight, it will feel disgusting if there is too much friction.

Zhishen was not in a hurry, and waited patiently for everyone to digest it before deciding whether the replacement of the fiefdom could proceed.

Before that, the Zhao family's sphere of influence accounted for about [-]% of the state of Jin, second only to the sphere of influence held by the Zhi family.

That's [-]%. After the change, the structure of Jin will definitely change a lot.

Not only the number of fiefdoms held by each family, but also the division of the Zhao family's population.

Of course, "Zhao" and "Jinyang" have the largest population of the Zhao family. Even "Jinyang" accounts for about [-]% of the total population of the Zhao family. If the two places are not lost, they can retain about [-]% of the population. quantity.

Now how to carve up the Zhao family has not yet become a foregone conclusion, and it is very likely that the Zhao family will be left with fiefdoms other than "Zhao" land and "Jinyang".This is also one of the important factors for Zhao's final choice of patience.

They were not killed all at once, and most of them were not exploited, leaving a chance to make a comeback. It would be difficult for anyone to make up their minds to overturn the table.

It seems to be a favorable thing for the Zhao family to be able to retain at least [-]% or more of the population. If they do not reclaim a large amount of farmland in a short period of time, they will be very happy in the future, at least in terms of food. It is a certain thing.

The rainy season is over.

Then, God can be regarded as enough to save face, the weather will be fine in the next month, and the Jin army, which has been out for about a year, can be regarded as returning home after the arrival of the new troops.

Those who have fulfilled the quota can leave, but the leaders of the families still need to stay.

Whoever wants to go is fine.It's just that how to divide the meat is still in the stage of dispute, and leaving means giving up the right to fight.

Therefore, even if you know that the hope is slim, or you are not qualified to fight at all, it would be foolish for everyone to leave in order to be able to grasp the changes in the situation to the greatest extent.

After a month of sunny weather, the sky is raining again.

"The rainfall here is so abundant, the water for farming is really guaranteed, right?" Zhiyao thought.

That is, I don't even look at the current nearby landforms, there are large swamps, and many places are even densely covered with swamps.

Therefore, it is true that the Zhongshan country, which knows how to farm, does not develop. They have limited manpower and technology, and they really cannot handle large projects!
After more than a hundred years, the rainfall has been greatly reduced. During the Warring States Period, Zhao State developed this area, relying on the food in this area for emergency relief many times; To supply food to other regions, at least the local area can be self-sufficient.

The Warring States Period, Western Han Dynasty and Eastern Han Dynasty had their own situations, such as population size and so on.

It is currently in the late Spring and Autumn period, and the population is much smaller than that of the Warring States Period, and it cannot be compared with the Western and Eastern Han Dynasties.

"Since ancient times, Hebei seems to have been so uneven. What is the reason?" Zhiyao felt that she needed to figure it out.

In terms of the current era, if Zhishi can develop Hebei, at least it will be a very beneficial thing in agriculture, but the worst thing is that it is really difficult.

However, it is a good thing to be able to control it. At least the plain of Zhongshan State and the plain controlled by Zhishi itself are part of the North China Plain. Not only do they have multiple development values, but the surrounding natural resources are also extremely rich. Population giant city is a prerequisite.

The reason is not too complicated. The open terrain means that the transportation line is easy to open, and the grain production can be transported out of the field to the greatest extent.

"Choose the capital city, and then rely on external transportation for everything. It's completely dead!" Zhiyao remembers that there are quite a few things in history where such places have forced the central government?

Of course, Zhiyao doesn't want to use Hejian, which can't even see the shadow, as the future capital, but only from an economic point of view.

Capital city or something?Zhiyao is still looking for something, maybe it is a ready-made one, or it is more likely to build a new city by herself.

The Zhi family has acquired the territory of the original Zhongshan country in terms of land distribution. As a price, the troops participating in the follow-up military operations have been increased to one "army", which has reduced the number of troops used by other families.

How the Zhongshan Kingdom dealt with it had nothing to do with the cutting of the Zhao family. The Wei family still got the "warm" right, and the "original" land was in the hands of the Zhi family.

Wei Xuan was very excited when he got things done, and even expressed his credit in a chat with Zhishen.

As everyone knows, Zhiyao has already planned how to deal with the "original", and will use it for a few years to make up for the food shortage of the Zhi family, and finally take it out and replace it with the noble family who is willing to pay the price.

It's done, right?

It represents that the various families have basically formed a unified opinion on the replacement of fiefs, and are willing to carry out the replacement of fiefs in the future. The formal negotiation will be after the heads of each family return to "Xintian".

Recently, Zhishen and Han Buxin talked the most, intending to exchange Zhi's fief in the west for Han's fief in the middle.

This matter is beneficial to both the Zhi family and the Han family. The Zhi family can get a fief in the middle of the Han family to connect with those in the east, and the Han family can directly connect with their ancestral lands if they get the fiefdom of the Zhi family in the west. .

Because it is beneficial to both families, the preliminary intention has been reached, and the only difference is the final confirmation.

Among all the developments, the one who was most anxious and unable to interfere was Jin Junwu.

As the king of a country, if his IQ is not negative, how could he allow his subordinates to exchange fiefs privately, especially when the Zhao clan was cut off, not only did they not get much benefit, even the fiefdoms that originally belonged to the clan were also divided.

I heard, just heard that Jin Junwu was incompetent and furious again and again, and then simply fell ill.

Zhong Quan and Hu You unanimously proposed that they first escort the sick monarch back to "Xintian".

In the end, Hu You was able to go back, but Zhong Quan was left behind.

Everyone is not stupid, the Duke of Jin has only the Zhong family left, and everyone will not deliberately target them. They want to lead the army back when everyone leads the army to go out, and want to eat peaches!

Of course, the rest of the high-ranking families were not afraid that Zhong Quan would lead his troops back to cause trouble and avoid possible troubles.

There is another reason for Hu Youneng to lead the army back. There is a change in Bai Zhai's side. The Jin country needs to beware of a repeat of the situation more than a hundred years ago, that is, Bai Zhai and the Qin country get mixed up, and once again unannounced against the Jin country. war.

The winter is over, and the spring season of the new year is here. The armed forces of various families who stayed on the border of Zhongshan Kingdom left the camp according to the military orders they received, and went to various places to perform their tasks.

Because of the change of seasons, Zhiyao also received information from Sima Rangju, but most of the information was outdated.

All intelligence that cannot be responded to in time can be considered out of date, at most, just to understand what happened.

"The army of Lu regained 'Ai Ling', Gongzi Yangsheng defeated Gongzishou, Gongzi Ju, and Gongzi Qian, and most of the land in Qi has belonged to Gongzi Yangsheng." Zhiyao felt that there was something wrong with this young master Yangsheng, and what was even more surprising was that Tian Qi actually It's about to clear up.

That's right, Young Master Yang Sheng achieved those successes with Tian Qi's assistance, and Tian Shi gave most of his family's wealth to help Young Master Yang Sheng.

Because Young Master Yang Sheng's strength has surged, and Tian Qi's contribution is too great, it is only a matter of Young Master Yang Sheng becoming Qi Jun to whitewash Tian Shi!

What's more funny is that Tian Qi had a falling out with his close comrade-in-arms Bao Mu, and pressed the pause button to continue the battle for the young master Yang Sheng, who was in a good situation, and failed to take advantage of the high morale to kill the current Qi Juntu .

"The state of Lu is fully satisfied with recovering the lost territory. Is it possible that the son Yang Sheng they support will seize the throne?" Zhiyao really doesn't understand many practices of the king and ministers of the state of Lu.

Qi State and Lu State are feuds, and it is understandable that Lu State's monarchs and ministers supported the son Yang Sheng before, which only exacerbated the internal strife in Qi State.

Now Young Master Yang Sheng is the strongest, and the State of Lu still maintains a lot of support, as if to help Young Master Yang Sheng win the throne, so that the civil strife in Qi State can end.

Not to mention that the state of Lu is very particular about the monarch and ministers, and it seems too much to support the son Yangsheng's rebellion.Isn't it a good thing for Lu State that Qi State has been in war?
"Is the State of Lu extravagantly hoping that after Yang Sheng comes to power, he can cut flesh from the State of Lu, or does he think that he can maintain a long-term friendship?" Zhi Yao felt that the minds of the king and ministers of the State of Lu were very problematic.
