I am a nobleman in Spring and Autumn

Chapter 252 Are you kidding me? !
The last time the Zhi family built a city was six years ago, and it is not too frequent to build another city after six years.

The country of Wu in the south is really awesome. While digging the Grand Canal, it will also build four or more cities in a row. The first project is still planned to be completed within ten years.

"If the city is built again, it may be used as the capital city in the future!" Zhiyao knew this very well.

It is precisely because of this that the location of the city needs to be carefully considered, and the various factors considered are far more than those of the "Ye" city.

In fact, as a capital city, the disadvantages of building it beside a big river outweigh the advantages.

The big river is not a gentle river, and there have been many diversions in history. Once the capital city is on the side, it would be a natural and man-made disaster if the diversion happens someday.

Another point is that where the capital is, a lot of farmland will definitely be reclaimed, and the surrounding environment will definitely be greatly changed.

In history, farmland was reclaimed on the edge of rivers, destroying the environment, and at the same time, dams were built and bean curd projects were carried out. Isn’t there enough man-made disasters caused by floods?

The advantage is of course that being close to a big river can use water transportation, but a big river is different from a big river. The premise of using a big river for water transportation is to make improvements, such as removing some reefs of the big river, or building dams in certain areas to control the water flow speed And increase, decrease river bed height.

"I can't do it..." Zhiyao thought to herself.

With the technology and population of the current era, it is simply impossible to improve the waterways of big rivers.

In fact, let alone the feudal era, even entering the information age is impossible!
"Although it is the mother river, how many dynasties have been disturbed!" Zhiyao thinks that if there is a choice, it is better not to build the capital by the river.

If Zhiyao remembers correctly, there is a clear record of a river diversion event in the history books of the Jin Kingdom.This time, the diversion of the river took place in the fifth year of King Ding of Zhou Dynasty (602 BC). The river broke through a big breach, and there was a "split" directly, and it was split into two!

This time, the disaster caused by the "split" incident of Dahe lasted for decades, and it affected several countries. It can even be said that it directly interrupted the rise of Qi State. all the cities of the north.

Even today, the influence of Dahe's "split" still exists.This point, Zhiyao had personally seen the country of Ze over there during the last Eastern Expedition, and there were so many tributaries of the big river that it was abnormal.

Zhiyao invited Sima Rangju, Gongshuquan and Ran You over.

"The north of Jishui is washed away by the river, and the soil must be fertile..." Of course Zhiyao also mentioned those Ze countries, and then asked a lot of questions, most of which were related to agriculture.

After listening to it, they understood that Zhiyao wanted to use it in the future, especially to build a large grain production area.

Sima Rangju said with a strange face: "The son has already dealt with it, so why..."

That side is also a part of Hebei, just further east.

The Zhi family did have arrangements for the Changdi area in Hebei, and those arrangements are actually closely related to the diversion of the river.

Zhiyao was not confused, and said: "Since it is what it is, one thing has something to do, and the two are the same, and it is in line with the law."

Ran You answered the words and said, "If Qi is unable to regain it, then that's fine."

That's why Zhiyao even invited Sima Rangju over because it was related to the military.

Gongshuquan stopped and knew what his mission was. He needed to look through the family records carefully, re-use some information, and at the same time contact some friends who are good at water conservancy projects, and invest in Zhishi's efforts in that area. Research and come up with a transformation plan.

It's hard to say that Gongshu still needs to study some new tools so that they can be used in future development.

They go away with all kinds of ideas.

Not long after, Sima Rangju came back again.

"Your Majesty, do you know that this matter is of great importance?" Sima Rangju asked.

Zhiyao was very clear about the magnitude of the matter, and said: "Yao has been thinking about doing this for countless years, even if it took a hundred years of work, my family will never be shaken. If this is done, the work will be up to me, and the benefits will be in the future."

There are risks in starting any project. Don't think that the ancients didn't know this.

Sima Rangju was greatly shaken by Zhiyao's sentence "benefits for thousands of years", and he said a thousand words: "I will not let Qi regain the north of Jishui!"

The Zhi family is willing to spend more than a hundred years to manage that piece of land. Of course, the Zhi family will benefit. Isn't it a great contribution to the civilization of Zhu Xia?

So at this point, Qi State rebuilt the north of Jishui after the natural disaster, even if it didn't take long for the Qin Empire to benefit from the country's subjugation, it still made a contribution.It's just that the Han Empire, which took advantage of it, didn't thank Chen's surname Tian very much.

There is nothing to say about that point, the previous dynasty belongs to the previous dynasty, if it is not too long, singing praises is no different from "calling on the soul".

Sima Rangju's promise is very heavy, there is only one way to prevent Qi from regaining the north of Jishui.

Zhiyao gave a big smile and said joyfully, "I know me."

At any rate, he is a character who can stay in the Wu Temple. Sima Rangju has also participated in Zhishi's strategic deployment to the east. If he didn't say it, it doesn't mean that he can't find that Zhiyao Qiqi has the heart of subjugation.

Of course, it's one thing whether the Zhi family is aware of the fact that they want to destroy the Qi state, or not, anyway, it's better not to talk about it.

Sima Rangju, who went back and forth, left again.With great determination, no matter how many brain cells he died, he decided to come up with some strategies to destroy Qi.

Some?It is the so-called best policy, middle policy, and worst policy, which also includes quick fixes, or more secure step-by-step operations.

Zhiyao was in a daze for a while, and when it was time to eat lunch, Taihu came to report that there was a visitor, which relieved Zhiyao from the daze.

"Bolu?" Zhiyao was quite surprised that Zhao Bolu came to 'Ye' to find her own business.

It happened to be time for lunch, Zhiyao invited Zhao Bolu to have a meal together, and she didn't even spare Gubu Ziqing's share.

At the beginning, Zhao Bolu rambled about a lot of things, and gradually let Zhiyao taste some connotations.

"Daiguo violated the Zhao family, and Bolu wanted to send troops to attack?" Zhiyao was full of surprise.

Didn't it mean that Mrs. Zhao wants to become in-laws with Dai Guo?

The relationship between the Zhao family and Dai Guo was very harmonious before, especially since Dai Guo participated in the revenge against Zhongshan Kingdom to some extent, the relationship should not be broken so easily.

Then, although Dai State borders Jin State, there is Xiawu Mountain in the middle. Not to mention that there is almost no interaction between Dai State and Jin State.
"Could it be that Mr. Dai didn't want to marry a woman from the Zhao family because he saw that the Zhao family was weak?" Zhiyao thought about it and thought about it. This is the only possibility.

Sure enough, Zhao Bolu said angrily: "Dai Jun repeated, and he didn't keep his word, humiliate my Zhao family!"

Are you really regretting the marriage? ? ?
Zhiyao could tell from Zhao Bolu's performance that she was really angry, but she couldn't help wondering how realistic Daiguo was, or that Daiguo wouldn't be so realistic even because the people under his rule were all alien races and the customs were different from those of the other kingdoms of Xia. Bar!
Let's put it this way, no matter how weak the Zhao family is, they are one of the high-ranking families of the Jin State. Although the fighting between the high-ranking families of the Jin State is fierce, fighting back and forth, they are one family.

Zhao Yang died during the crusade against Zhongshan. It was clearly the Zhao family who launched a family war against Zhongshan, and didn't several high-ranking families work together to avenge it later?

Moreover, in the battle for Zhao Yang's revenge, several noble families dispatched much more troops than ordinary national wars!
So, have the heads of the monarchs and ministers of the Dai Kingdom been broken by the door?After proposing marriage, he backed out.

In fact, not to mention that Daiguo is facing the noble families of Jin State, no matter how small the nobleman proposes a marriage contract with someone, and the family of the marriage partner is destroyed, as long as the woman with the marriage contract survives, she will definitely marry her in, or marry her. past.

Ordinary nobles are like that, and it is even more impossible for the king of a country to take the marriage contract seriously.

Regarding this matter, Zhiyao only felt that it was full of strangeness. If it was not for knowing Zhao Bolu's personality and seeing that Zhao Bolu's emotions did not seem to be fake, the rest of the people would have reacted immediately.

"Bolu came here to invite me to attack the country together?" Zhiyao asked.

At this time, Gubu Ziqing wanted to answer the words, but closed his mouth tightly when the words came to his lips.

Zhao Bolu nodded vigorously, and said: "I have already invited Mrs. Han, if I invite Mrs. Zhi, I will go to Mrs. Wei, Mrs. Hu, and Mrs. Zhong."

Something seems wrong?
Although it is true that Zhiyao is the master of the Zhi family, Zhishen is the head of the family.

If it's such an important matter as sending troops, shouldn't it be discussed with Zhishen?

Gubu Ziqing could be regarded as speaking, and said: "The meaning of Zhengqing is up to the son to decide."

Uh! ! !
Everyone knows what's going on, Zhishen just lie down, can't he?

There is a problem here, and a big one.

The last time Zhiyao and Zhishen revealed their future strategy, it really caused Zhishen to fall into a great conflict, and Zhishen also began to worry about where the Zhi family would go under the leadership of Zhiyao after a hundred years.

It's not that Zhiyao wanted to launch a war to destroy the country, so what happened to Zhishen.

After all, not long ago, the Jin State destroyed the Zhongshan State, and the number of princes who have lost their Guozuo has also increased in recent years. In fact, everyone has gotten used to it a little bit.

It is purely that Zhiyao will destroy too many countries at once, and still use the model of family private war, which makes Zhishen start to worry about the future of the family.

It may not be difficult for Zhishi to destroy a country, but what is difficult is that it will face various counterattacks after it is destroyed.Regarding this point, if Zhiyao knew Zhishen's worries, she would show Zhishen the data from Zhongshan Country.

The Zhi clan absorbed some nobles (chieftains) from the original Zhongshan Kingdom. Given that both the Jin Kingdom and the Zhi clan were very powerful, the former Zhongshan nobles who belonged to them understood the gap.This also made Zhishi's digestion of Zhongshan Kingdom very smooth, and any troubles were minor troubles.

The same operation can be replicated in some countries such as annexing Wei, Lu, etc., that is, the "people" of Zhuxia countries will definitely have stronger feelings for their mother country than Chidi, and the difficulty will be greater, but the method is better than Much more difficult.

Zhiyao chatted with Zhao Bolu for a long time, although there were still many doubts in her heart, and the Zhi family didn't want to participate at all, the rest of the high-ranking families would participate, so naturally the Zhi family couldn't be left out, right?

"How many troops does the Zhao family need from me?" Zhiyao asked.

Zhao Bolu wanted to answer, but was interrupted by Gubu Ziqing coughing...
