I am a nobleman in Spring and Autumn

Chapter 254
Zhiyao is newly married, so she can't stay away from home for a long time no matter what.

It's not that I'm worried about becoming a father, it's just that doing so will hurt my wife's natal family, and then it will appear ruthless.

This kind of operation of abandoning the small family and caring for everyone has always been praised. It is hard to say that there are too few related examples, or what the situation is. The hard condition for wanting to leave a name in history is to do things that are beneficial to most people.

Under Zhiyao's advocacy, so many new ingredients have been found, especially the discovery of oil extracted from soybeans and rapeseeds. Is it qualified to leave a name in history?
There is such a saying, "Food is the most important thing for the people", but with the focus of the historians of Zhuxia civilization, they may not actually record those.

There are so many people looking for food in the history of Zhuxia, how many people have been seriously recorded in the history books because they found new ingredients and people's livelihood inventions?
Zhang Qian?It is solemnly recorded in history that he was first sent to the Western Regions, and what he brought back is purely mentioned in passing.

What about the rest?Liu An, the king of Huainan in the Western Han Dynasty who developed tofu?He was recorded because he repeatedly tried to rebel and failed, and got a short story about his family ascending to heaven.

So, who else?

After Zhiyao understood the situation, she immediately came to the conclusion that she would be famous in history even if she did nothing.

There is no way to do it, the birth is there, and then become the head of the Zhi family.In view of the status and power of the royal family of the state of Jin, Zhiyao's name will definitely be mentioned in the records of this period of history anyway.

What is Zhiyao's pursuit of historical positioning?It must be a great achievement that no one has achieved before, and then leave a pivotal position in the history books.And this difficulty is not small. Not only do you need to search up and down, but you also have to work hard.

All because becoming the king of a country is actually not a big deal in the long history books.

Not to mention being one of the monarchs of many vassal states, how many emperors will be born in the future unified dynasty, and how many emperors belong to the familiar level?

Zhiyao, who had been away for two months, returned to "Xintian", the capital of the Jin Kingdom, and was really taken aback when she saw her old father again.

In just two months, Zhishen has lost a lot of weight, and his spirit seems to be a little sluggish.

"My lord?" Zhiyao looked at the retainers present with a very unkind expression.

Several retainers were glanced at viciously by Zhiyao, and they either lowered their heads or smiled wryly.

Zhishen let all the retainers go down first, and then said to Zhiyao: "Wu's army has gone north, arrived at 'Ailing' and faced a stalemate with the [-] Qi army. The Qi State sent envoys to come repeatedly, begging me to send troops to help."

Zhiyao already knew these things, and also knew that Zhishen agreed to Qi State's request after negotiating with several "qings", and an "army" was already gathering.

This "army" was not launched by the Zhi family alone, but several high-ranking families gathered some troops, and then recruited small and medium-sized families to accept the tax.It seems that people are running around every day to recruit people, but in the end there is only one "army" force, which is really something.

In a private war, a family often recruits more than one "army" of troops, but when it's the turn of the national war, everyone is stingy, understand?
The more unusual thing is that Zhishen didn't discuss with Zhiyao this time.It's not that Zhiyao thinks that Zhishen needs to get her own consent for what to do, it's just that it's the first time in a long time that Zhishen has not consulted Zhiyao's opinion on the use of troops.

At the same time, Zhishen didn't tell Zhiyao after coming up with his idea, and he brought it up again when Zhiyao got home. Looking at Zhishen's expression of guilt mixed with anxiety, it all showed Zhishen's cuteness.

It was as if the identities of Zhishen and Zhiyao were reversed. Zhishen felt that it was a reckless act not to discuss with Zhiyao, and hoped to be forgiven by the elders.

In fact, Zhishen is a character type who is quite timid and will rely heavily on those who trust him. Before taking over Zhishi's rule, he relied on Zhibi, and after taking over Zhishi's rule, he relied on Zhiyao. It was the first time he made up his own mind. Uneasy.

However, Zhishen's appearance made Zhiyao feel so distressed that her eyes turned red.

People, when they were children, they would think that their father was very powerful. As they grew up, they suddenly found that their father was no longer the hero of childhood. Not only did people get old, but they also began to become cautious.

Why did the father become cautious?Whoever gets to the bottom of the connotation inside will either feel blocked or want to cry aloud.

Zhiyao gave Zhishen a big smile with red eyes, and said, "Your Excellency is very responsive."

Afterwards, Zhiyao analyzed it from various angles, explaining in different ways how beautiful and powerful Zhishen did.

Zhishen was stunned for a moment, if Zhiyao didn't have red eyes, she would almost believe that she is quite good.

"Yao, maybe I'm worried about my father..." Zhishen softened his heart when he saw Zhiyao's behavior, and obviously wanted to say that the eastward expansion strategy mentioned by Zhiyao was correct.

Zhiyao had no intention of asking Zhishen to apologize, even if it was a tactful admission, she cut it off and said, "Boy Meng Lang, I will teach you from the adults in the future."

Zhishen was not happy about being interrupted, and became even more guilty, saying: "No. What Yao said is very true. Now my family is not advancing or retreating, and retreating is in danger of being overthrown."

Do you really want to understand?
Zhiyao observed Zhishen carefully, mainly looking at his eyes, but he still felt uneasy from the window of his soul.

This is Zhishen's intention to compromise, and forcefully convince himself that everything is based on Zhiyao's ideas, and then continue to feel depressed.

However, Zhiyao found that coaxing was useless to Zhishen, so she was silent for a while, then changed the subject and talked about the agricultural construction east of "Handan", imagining how many acres of farmland would be reclaimed and the output; "The various production facilities in the city use data one after another to tell Zhishen that the number of weapons and equipment is increasing every day.

With food and military equipment, coupled with Zhishi's population base, Zhiyao's Zhishi is undoubtedly very powerful.

"The new army started from my family. It has fought against the princes many times without a single defeat. His family has nothing to do with me. My family is already one step ahead, and it is hard for others to catch up..."

Nothing can explain what is powerful more intuitively than each piece of data. When Zhiyao talks about those data, it is far more straightforward than when Zhishen looks at the paper data by himself.

Grain production areas have been built, military equipment has been mass-produced, there is a new army as the core force, and there is such a population base?Such a Zhishi is not strong, how can he be considered strong.

How many years has Zhiyao started to struggle?Although Zhishi itself has a solid foundation, and the merger of Zhongxingshi made it fatter, those efforts were not in vain.

so to speak?The Zhi family without Zhiyao will be very strong, but it still does not exceed the Wei family and the Zhao family by much, let alone the Zhi family alone to support the alliance of the other high-ranking families.

Give Zhiyao another ten years and wait for the completion of the second five-year plan. Although some families such as the Wei family and the Han family will become stronger, Zhiyao is really not afraid that they will unite by then.

"My son is not a reckless person, and I have no intention of destroying the families. Expansion to the east is just an act of obedience. If adults do not want to destroy the country and cause criticism, then my son will not do it." Zhiyao said.

Zhishen looked at Zhiyao with a serious face, of course he didn't believe it.

There is a saying that "knowing a son is like a father", which may not be true. Fathers can still understand their children in general.

Jin's noble families don't have any long-term friendship at all. Even if there is no deep conflict of interest, it just hinders the progress of others. How many noble families have become ashes?
So, with a gentle personality like Zhishen, it's not that he won't try to destroy his competitors when necessary.

There is another sentence called "white lie", Zhishen didn't know this sentence, and felt happy that Zhiyao was willing to coax herself.

"I can only do my best to defend the city. The development of the family and foreign diplomacy are carried out by Yao. How can I hold Yao back?" Zhishen enlightened himself in his heart, and the knot in his heart was slowly unraveling. .

And Zhiyao thinks that her eyesight is not bad, and she was able to spot the change in Zhishen's mental state, and she was both happy and sad for a while.

Zhishen, who had changed his mental state, brought up Wu State's invasion of Qi State again... It seems wrong?The Qi army has just captured "Ai Ling", and "Ai Ling" is a city of Lu State in terms of sovereignty.Wu Jun went north and directly arrived at "Ai Ling", which means he would fight the Qi army on the land of Lu State, not the same as invading Qi State.

In short, the Wu army went north to fight the Qi army in "Ai Ling". Without Qi's request for help, Jin would have to do something, otherwise it would be giving up the hegemony of the Central Plains.

"Either don't do it, or do it to the extreme. Why do they..." Zhiyao tried her best to control her mouth, but her heart was full of bitterness.

Zhiyao herself felt that the generation of Jin who sat on the throne was not good.

Things similar to this year have happened many times in the history of Jin State. Which time did not lead to the outbreak of the previous "Qing"?And there were several times when the state of Jin was just about to lie down in one breath, but he still held that breath and gritted his teeth to burst out, and he stood up abruptly again and again.

Zhiyao really felt that the "qings" in this class were not good enough, and they couldn't even copy their homework.

If you want to react, just dispatching a legion will be the worst option, worse than simply turning a blind eye and listening to it.

If there is only one legion, should we intervene when we get there?If you really intervene, it will be very dangerous with such a small force. If you lose, you will be ashamed. The next time you confront Wu Jun, your confidence and will will be problematic.

Therefore, Zhiyao is the one who decides, either he really doesn't make any moves, or the three full-stacked legions will be pulled up directly, and then they will go to the battlefield aggressively.

Zhifu did this kind of thing many times when the Jin State was at its weakest. Several times it succeeded in scaring the Chu army into admitting defeat. If it could not intimidate the Chu army to retreat, it would be a desperate effort. strong will.

In the competition of will, anyway, Jin has never lost since its hegemony, and the descendants... that is, how could the "Qing" who are in this class forget it?

Of course, Zhiyao will not overthrow the decision they have made, but they need to think carefully about how to wipe their butt clean once something they don't want to happen happens.
