I am a nobleman in Spring and Autumn

Chapter 225 What do the princes use to fight me?

Due to some historical reasons, the number of cities in the west of the Jin Kingdom is very large, and the degree of development is actually much higher than the north and east..., and even the central and southern parts.

This was caused by the expansion of the Jin State. The initial expansion was to destroy the princes in the west of Gujiang first, and then expand to the south.Those princes who were destroyed, the results of their hard work made wedding dresses for Jin State, and because of the order of Jin State's expansion, didn't it mean that the territory that expanded first got more development?

In the north and east of the Jin Kingdom, there were either Di people or Rong people who used to be entrenched. It is basically a joke to expect them to build cities or carry out farming.

Therefore, the state of Jin began to expand northward and eastward from the time of Jin Jinggong, and eliminated or drove away the Di people or the Rong people. What they got was some undeveloped virgin land, so that the city can be seen from the map. Rarely, most areas maintain the original ecological environment.

The southern part of Jin?Most of the cities were actually snatched from other princes, and some of them were once ministers of the Zhou royal family, and even belonged to the Zhou emperor.

During the stage of Jin and Chu's struggle for hegemony, Zhou Tianzi just endured Jin with his mouth full, and then watched Jin expand southward again and again.

During the hegemony period between Jin State and Chu State, Zheng State’s bad luck was not only reflected in becoming a doormat, Jin State also captured a large number of cities from Zheng State, and what made Zheng State most unbearable was the "Five Clan Rebellion "Later, the state of Jin seized the land of "Shua".

Zhiyao stroked in her mind, combined with some maps of mountains and rivers she had seen, she could understand why Jin didn't want to talk to Qin.

"Further west of Hexi, there is a large uninhabited area. It is not a loess high slope, it is purely densely covered with virgin forest, or it is a large grassland. Of course it has value for use, but there are not too many similar sites. From the perspective of Jin, there must be none. It's so attractive."

The current expansion is really not purely for land, nor for other resources, the important thing is population, population, population!
There are too many unowned lands, and there are large tracts of virgin land that no one has declared their sovereignty. Why fight and kill just to obtain the land.

Jin's westward expansion has reached a limit limited by the mountains and rivers.To put it simply, the current dividing line is beneficial to the Jin State, and it will become beneficial to the Qin State if it goes west, so why expand westward?

"My family migrated here, most of them are 'states', and they can build a city if they need to build a city over the years." Zhiyao has special statistics, and the Zhi family has gathered nearly 30 people around 'Handan' and 'Ye'.

At this point, not only the Zhi family knows Zhiyao's firm will to develop eastward, but also the rest of the family can clearly see that the future development core of the Zhi family will move eastward.

With a population of more than 30, but only two cities, one can imagine how many "states" there will be.

However, Zhiyao didn't ask someone to randomly choose a place to build a village, but also made a very orderly arrangement.

According to the amount of available arable land, he arranged the corresponding labor force and made full use of the manpower without making a certain land too deserted.

If there is any problem, the only problem left is the problem of population expansion. At that time, whether the population can be dispersed will become the key.

The "state" in the Spring and Autumn Period was a village, but the trend of Zhiyao to collective farms developed.

Collective farms are of course only suitable for special periods. If they are used well, they will develop the labor force in a more controllable direction. If they are no longer appropriate, they will hinder society from advancing to a more advanced level.

Waiting for the completion of the second five-year plan, Zhiyao will build collective farms in newly reclaimed areas. When collective farms will disappear depends on the progress of land reclamation, and finally when the title system will be implemented.

That's right, Zhiyao will reward land wantonly in the future, not a large piece of land will be rewarded to a certain family, but in fact, small pieces will be rewarded to individuals who have done meritorious service.

A similar system was actually Zhao Yang as a pioneer, and was later borrowed by legalists such as Shang Yang. Because Shang Yang was too famous and Qin was successfully transformed, the achievements of other reformers were ignored.

In general, the eastward shift of Zhishi's core interests has become an established fact. Wei and Han are very happy to see the eastward shift of Zhishi's core interests, and believe that there is almost no conflict of interest between Zhishi and them. , to be able to get along more amicably.

On the contrary, the exchange of fiefs between the Han family and the Zhi family not only confronted the Qin State, but also made the Han family and the Wei family have to pay close attention to each other's movements because the fiefdoms with the Wei family became more intertwined.

This is due to the vigilance of the neighbors, not to mention that the Wei family has a lot of fiefdoms in the west of the Jin Kingdom, and the two high-ranking families are crowded in the west, and the territory is the status quo where there is me in you and you in me, it is impossible not to conflict of interest.

Later, Zhishen wandered around by himself...ah, no, he was conscientiously inspecting the family's property, while Zhiyao stayed in "Ye" city to supervise the arrival of various special talents on the spot.

The newly built "Ye" city is about two kilometers long and [-] kilometers wide, which is about the same size as a "Hou"-level city.

Zhiyao has no obsessive-compulsive disorder, so she made strict plans for different categories, and arranged the smelting in the downwind area and the dormitory in the upwind area according to the wind direction known in advance; the forging workshop is next to the smelting area, in order to obtain iron ingots nearby , Copper ingots and other materials; industries involving wood, leather, etc. also have special divisions, and then separate them into finer categories.

"This is the school." Zhiyao walked on a high platform.

The perimeter of this high platform is full of seats, not chairs or the like. The circular platform is a seat when placed on the podium, and the platform circles around the high platform in the middle step by step.

Academy is a general term, and Zhiyao prefers to call it a research institute.

So what is the situation?To put it bluntly, it is a place for technicians to communicate, and they can come here for debate when they encounter differences of opinion.

If anyone has a good idea, comes up with a preliminary theory, thinks something is useful, or wants to brainstorm, they can also discuss it.

Therefore, although this academy is a place for people to talk about it, it is not about literature, it must be related to the technical side.

It's not that Zhiyao discriminates against literature, it's simply the special nature of "Ye" city.

Zhiyao has long been building an institution related to literature, but it is only on the side of "Father Huang".

If conditions permit, Zhiyao will also establish a literature-related academy to attract intellectuals from other countries.

It is very realistic that even though it is the late Spring and Autumn Period, those who truly possess advanced knowledge will not be wandering nobles.If they really master the secrets, their families will not be ruined, even if they fail in political struggles and serve for princes or nobles in other countries, they will not be as miserable as the descendants of the Warring States Period.

In that kind of realistic social environment, Zhiyao really set up a literary school. In fact, it is difficult to recruit high-level talents, and there may not be a few crooked melons and jujubes.

After all, the identity of the nobles in the late Spring and Autumn period is still mixed. Even if it is to continue the superiority of the nobles, the down-and-out nobles will still be accepted if they go to other families to seek the status of retainers. There are no places to eat.

"This city is also a military city." Zilu followed after patrolling, extremely shocked in his heart.

Don't get me wrong, the "soldier" who is not a soldier is the "soldier" who is a weapon.

There will be procedurally processed coal being transported, and there are even charcoal processing workshops outside the city, and iron ore will be transported continuously, and the iron ore will be smelted into iron, and the iron will be sent to forging to be made into various weapons components , and then there will be assembly involving wood, which is basically a weapon manufacturing assembly line!

Weapons are like that, armor can also be a similar process, the change is that no wood is needed, and various leathers and nooses are replaced.

When the hydraulic forging hammer is researched, the assembly line for making armor will be moved to the banks of the river.

Zilu couldn't imagine how many weapons and armors would be provided to the Zhi clan every year when the city was in operation. What he knew was that the output would not be low in terms of scale.

No one has ever concentrated the workshops for making weapons and armor, precisely because no one has done it before. Zhishi made such a thing. Even if it has not really started operation, people with imagination will still tremble at the thought of it. trembling.

Yan Hui combined with his visit to the academy used for academic exchanges just now, and said with a serious face to his colleagues: "Combined with the policy of the Zhi family's supervision, it is bound to show off their force to the utmost. The princes are in trouble!"

That is to say, Zhiyao is not here, otherwise she will definitely feel unhappy.

Ran You shook his head and said, "How dare the princes attack each other when Jin regains its hegemony?"

That's right!

During the stage of Jin’s hegemony, all the princes in the Central Plains had their own duties. If there were any conflicts, they would seek justice from Jin. It was rare for a prince to lose his status in decades.

now what?In just a few years, several countries have been wiped out, and the princes with some strength have always used their troops to attack and kill them.

Yan Hui couldn't refute Ran You's statement.

Furthermore, no matter how much Yan Hui pursues benevolence and righteousness, it is impossible for Yan Hui to understand the necessity of having an overlord. It is all because the world without an overlord is really too chaotic, and wars are not limited to military contests. There are more and more.

In addition, benevolence and righteousness may know no boundaries, but people actually have a sense of belonging.

Zhishi is currently cooperating with Lu State, even though as a Lu person, no matter how much he hates Sanhuan, he still has to admit that Sanhuan's choice to embrace Zhishi's thick thigh is a beautiful thing.

Ran You said again: "When I left my wisdom last time and got accepted by my son again, I can say a few words...not much."

They also know that loyalty and righteousness are difficult to balance, and they chose the righteousness of rescuing the teacher. To live up to the various treatment given by Zhiyao is to be unfaithful. How could they not want to make up for being accepted by Zhiyao again?Don't talk about some useless words, so as not to conflict with what you have learned, and then you will live like a white-eyed wolf.

Yan Hui understood the truth, but when he thought about certain things, he felt that it was not in line with his own ideas, so he couldn't help but said: "Hui is not a minister of the Zhi family, and he will bid farewell to the son of the prince soon, and return to Lu to serve Master Kong."

Zilu and Ranyou looked at each other, and they could see the envy of each other.

In other words, what are they envious of?

　Code words all night, dizzy, quite dead.By the way, ask for various tickets.
