I am a nobleman in Spring and Autumn

Chapter 251 Be Cruel, Be Cruel!

As in the past, even if Zhishen has his own ideas on such a major event, he still implements the plan given by Zhiyao.

This is because although Zhishen has his own ideas, it is almost as if he has no ideas.No contradiction, he has some ideas, but they don't constitute a plan, and they can't benefit the development of Zhishi, and the ideas are just ideas.

Zhiyao is different.He has an idea and can come up with a plan. The future is too long and no one can tell whether it is good or bad, but the short-term benefits can be seen.

Under this reality, Zhishi's strategy for the next few years has been confirmed.

It has long been an established strategy for the Zhi family to take advantage of Qi's weakness to continue eastward expansion. This time, it is a short-term goal to take advantage of Wu to attack Qi.

"If I occupy half of Qi Kingdom, how can I manage myself?" Zhishen asked.

This will be a big event, and even start a life-and-death national war with Qi.

In fact, the "Tan" land of Qi State has not been developed with much effort, and the number of cities is only a handful.

The more important thing is that once the "Tan" land is invaded by the Zhi family, including the upper reaches of the Jishui River and the southwestern part of the Qi State near Mount Tai, it will become an enclave. Even if the Zhi family does not take it, Wei and Lu What else can the country do?

Zhishen judged from Zhiyao's plan to seize "Tan" land from Qi State that he would attack the southwest of Qi State, but it was not clear whether Zhiyao would pull Wei State and Lu State into the water.

Zhiyao said: "Maybe send troops from Wei and Lu."

It's better to have fun alone than to have fun with others, right?
The Zhi family can also represent the state of Jin to consolidate the affiliation with the state of Wei, which also consumes the little remaining strength of the state of Wei.

Weiguo will definitely send troops when he receives the invitation from Zhishi, but it is impossible to digest it in a short time after grabbing the territory, especially if he has not had time to digest it, he has become Zhishi's belly food.

One day, Zhiyao will annex Weiguo. Judging from Weiguo's current strength, and then looking at Zhishi's strength and size, it will not take too long for the Weishi to lose Guozuo Soon it will be Lu's turn.

So, the situation will be that no matter what the relationship between Lu State and Zhi Clan is, one day Zhi Clan's fiefdom will expand to border with Lu State, and Lu State will either surrender to Zhi Clan, or enter a state of wariness or hostility.

At that time, Zhiyao will naturally not watch the state of Lu digest the cities and population it seized from the state of Qi. It will depend on the actual situation whether to attack the state of Lu immediately or use other means to blackmail.

After hearing Zhiyao's narration, Zhishen was so shocked that he couldn't speak at all.

Too cruel!

It is too cruel to first focus on half of the country of Qi, then seek to annex the country of Wei, and then focus on the country of Lu.

Zhiyao was very clear about Zhishen's thoughts at this moment, and said: "The strife in the country will make all the families join forces to attack me, and this is the only way for my family to be strong."

In fact, with a gentle personality like Zhishen, he still knows that the state of Jin cannot be peaceful. Because their generation has just experienced chaos, they may be able to maintain small troubles for 20 years, and there will be chaos in the future.This is also a curse that cannot be shaken off by Jin.

Zhishen was speechless for a long time.

Zhiyao looked at Zhishen, who was absent-minded, and said, "Even if the adults and Yao don't want to do anything, how can his family quit?"

Zhishen said in a daze, "As Yao said, the Zhao family has plotted against me this time."

Zhiyao simply took the medicine and said: "Now my family is the only strong one, and all the families have not yet recovered. One day, the Wei family and the Han family will bring back the merged people, the Zhao family will succeed in managing 'Jinyang', and the Fox family will stand on its heels Steady, the Zhong clan is as strong as before, and they will definitely form an alliance to attack me."

This is exactly what Zhishen was worried about.

Zhiyao said again: "If I seize the land of many families frequently, not only people in the world will regard me as cruel, but I will also lose the hearts of the people inside."

This "people" is not Lishu, but the people of the country, and they are also people with surnames.

In the Spring and Autumn Period, even in the Warring States Period, do you know what kind of class has a family name?Given the social environment at that time, either owning a feudal city or holding the power of public opinion!
It seems that the "Zhiyao" in the original history repeatedly seized cities from other noble families, right?Not only did the Jin people panic, the Qing family and the surviving small and medium-sized families hated "Zhiyao" to the bone, and other countries that had long hated "Zhiyao" also wanted "Zhiyao" to die.

Everyone hoped that "Zhiyao" would have a bad death, it must be impossible to get a good death, and after death, his head would be made into a wine glass, it's really miserable!
Seeing that Zhishen was still looking lost, Zhiyao sighed first, and then said: "My lord, think about the Zhao family of Zhao Dun, and the Que family of Que Qi."

Both of these two families were once as powerful as Jin Guoqing's family, and then perished when the family was alone, and they were also attacked by groups.

Zhishen opened his mouth, wanting to say that Zhao Dun and San were too arrogant and domineering, and they ended up like that.

Another point is that there are so many arrogant and domineering people who hold the position of Jin Guoqing, and even if they do not perish in the present age, their families will be settled later.

Zhishen thought in his heart: "I'm sure I didn't do anything arrogant and domineering, and Yao doesn't seem like a person who would be arrogant. But... the Zhi family is really too strong, and will continue to be strong. The rest of the family will be afraid. I am afraid that we must unite, and if we unite, civil war will definitely break out."

That's obvious, and there's no need to wait for them to unite. There is a slight sign that they are forcing Zhishi to act first.

In the end, Zhishen said very wearily: "Yao, if you want to be strong, you must not ignore the foundation. My family has a lot of useless land, so don't waste it."

Of course Zhiyao understands this truth, but with the population of Zhishi, if the plan is proper, it is best to go hand in hand with development and military expansion.

Seeing that Zhiyao agreed, Zhishen was really relieved.

"I hope that in my lifetime, I won't see the civil strife that swept across the entire territory of Jin again." Zhishen coughed and thought.

Seeing that her old father was so tired and coughing again and again, Zhiyao planned to cook rock sugar pears by herself.

Bingtang Sydney is just a name. Pears are a fruit in Zhuxia itself. If there is no sugar, it can be replaced by other sweet things.

"It seems that father is too kind..." Zhiyao, who was busy, was very distressed.

There is no need for any doubts, the family with the largest fiefdom in the Jin Kingdom is the Zhi family, but many fiefdoms have not been developed.

The piece of land that originally belonged to Changdi will be mainly used for grazing in Zhiyao's plan.Considering the local topography and environment, it is very difficult to carry out farming. It is obviously an appropriate choice to first grazing and destroy the environment, and then seek reclamation when it is suitable.

The last time Zhishen inspected in person, most of the environments he saw were wetlands, and there were swamps everywhere.

Hebei is actually full of wetlands and swamps?Because of the climate, 483 years ago was indeed such an environment anyway.

The Zhi family first grazed there, and then gradually artificially rebuilt some local rivers and lakes, and even felled trees wantonly. Don't be too anxious, it will always take decades to change the local environment.

Needless to say, there is nothing like destroying nature.

The current age is full of primitive features, and the need to protect the environment is nothing more than a critical point. It is another matter for nature to plague people's living space.

"It's not Brazil, facing global deception. If I have that ability, I want to shovel all the forests east of 'Ye'!" Zhiyao has already arrived in the city of 'Ye'.

Set a fire to burn this kind of thing?Unless it is a particularly hot climate, it is a bit difficult to spread the fire as soon as it starts.

In fact, it is not suitable to use fire for reclamation. The fear of spreading the fire is one, and the waste of wood raw materials is the second. After burning, it is more difficult to clean up, which is the worst!

Zhishi's first five-year plan was completed a year ago, and the wasteland was reclaimed later, adding more arable farmland.

Some are reclaimed every year, and the farmland that can grow food is increased every year, and the local population is also rapidly expanding.

Because too much manpower and material resources of the Zhi clan have been invested here, the attention of the whole family will of course be concentrated, and some core clan members will stay for a long time. It is not based on the premise of administrative orders, but the center of gravity has actually moved eastward.

"My family may need to build another city." Expo Road has been following Zhiyao recently.

Zhiyao also noticed this!

The newly built "Ye" is a functional city, not suitable for long-term residence.

The original "Handan" is too small, and it is still the old nest of Handan Zhao.The people of Zhao in Handan did not die, they just lost their original power and became one of the many small families of the Zhi family.

Whether Handan Zhao will recover "Handan" is very uncertain.As long as they made enough meritorious service for the Zhi family, and then asked for the return of "Handan", Zhiyao didn't mind rewarding the city to Handan Zhao in order to reward the meritorious service.

That's because the benefits created by Handan Zhao for the Zhi family are higher than the value of "Handan".

Of course, Handan Zhao who took back "Handan", what happens to them after that still depends on themselves.

After all, where there are rewards, there are punishments.

Furthermore, since ancient times, no family has been able to be rich forever.

"Where is the right place to build a city?" Zhiyao was a little moved.

This is purely the principle that the center of gravity of the old Zhi family has shifted to the east, and people must adapt to development.

Zhiyao ordered people to bring the map of mountains and rivers, and then called Zhi Xuwu, Sima Rangju, Zilu, and Zigong, and a group of people discussed around the map of mountains and rivers.

Among them, Sima Rangju came back from "Cui" only after learning that Zhiyao had come to "Ye".He has reported some important matters about Qi State, and he is waiting for Zhiyao to deal with it.

"It cannot be built on the south bank of the great river." Sima Rangju first mentioned this point.

Zhi Xuwu nodded his approval, and then said: "You must not be too far away from 'Ye'."

The Zhi family established the "Ye" city, which was only used for one year. After the various workshops began to operate, many people had to pay attention to the military equipment and agricultural tools produced every month.

Knowing the particularity of "Ye" city, who can underestimate it?With a clear mind, one should understand that the new political center must not be too far away from "Ye" city, so as to avoid being out of control, and at the same time ensure the safety of "Ye" city.

Political center?That must be the place where the core members will stay. The relevant government orders are issued from here, and there will be corresponding military deployments.

Then, in addition to not being too far away from the city of "Ye", it is also necessary to take into account the location of the newly reclaimed farmland, because the population is concentrated there, which is extremely convenient for gathering troops.

The most critical question now is, where to choose to build the city, and when to start the project?
　"The Beginning of the Three Kingdoms Cut Guan Yu"

　　Hua Xiong, a modern person whose soul passed through the Sishui Pass, was fortunate to gain the courage of the overlord when he was at a loss.

　　In the camps of the princes, Hua Xiong was frowning because Hua Xiong repeatedly beheaded Pan Feng and other generals.

　　Guan Yu, who was still a horse archer, asked to fight and issued a military order: "I am not talented, and I am willing to behead Hua Xiong and offer it to my tent. If not, please behead my head!"
