I am a nobleman in Spring and Autumn

Chapter 257
It is indeed easier to get answers when making some requests while others are happy.Generally speaking, if you want to achieve something, it is naturally correct to act in this way.

However, the above-mentioned situation either occurs when the younger generation treats the elders, or when the status gap is too large, it is a way of dealing with things.

Later, when Zhao Bolu and Zhao Wuxie left, Zhishen never mentioned to Zhiyao about the decision to lend food to the Zhao family, and it was only after a while that Zhiyao saw the relevant records when reviewing the family's expenditures.

Although Zhiyao is a person with a strong desire to control, she can't forget who the real head of the family is, and she certainly can't ask Zhishen deliberately because of the shortage of food.

"It was loaned to the Zhao family." Expo Road gave the answer.

Zhiyao knew about Zhao's frequent borrowing of food from Han's.

As for Mr. Zhao asking Mr. Zhi for a loan?Zhiyao must also know about it, and mentioned to Zhishen that the Zhi family needs to store a large amount of food, which is why Zhishen hesitated to borrow food from Zhao Bolu later.

Logically speaking, it is right for Mrs. Zhi to help Mrs. Zhao knowing that Mrs. Zhao is in trouble.Who made the two families a marriage relationship, right?

However, there is a saying that "helping the emergency is not saving the poor".

Take a look at the embarrassing situation that the Han family is facing. After lending grain to the Zhao family once, they will borrow again and again for more than two years. Food can be regarded as blocking that kind of request.

It can make the Han family unbearable, not only because they lent too much food to the Zhao family, but also because they don't know when they need help. If they can help for a while, don't help them for a lifetime!
In fact, as long as the Zhao family can develop the northern side of "Jinyang", that is, the side of Taiyuan in later generations, they can ease the balance of payments, and they should be able to slowly pay back the owed grain?
The Zhao family is indeed also reclaiming Taiyuan, which is nearly a hundred years earlier than the original history.This is a greatly reduced fiefdom, a choice they were forced to make.

"Two thousand stones?" Zhiyao thought for a while, and felt that Zhishen had lent out a fraction of the food stored in her family.

Zhishen who did this must have not forgotten Zhiyao's entrustment. Zhishi has a second five-year plan in the future, and then it is training new troops and the annual consumption of troops.

From here, Zhiyao is sure of one thing, no matter whether Zhao Bolu is willing or not, Zhao Wuji will persuade Zhao Bolu to continue to ask the Zhi family to borrow food, and even Zhao Wuji will bypass Zhao Bolu to borrow money.

From the perspective of a pure bystander, Zhiyao really thinks that Zhao Wuxie is indeed a person who does great things.

How to say?With a thick face and a dark heart, and the courage to act, many people who have achieved great careers, isn't that exactly what they need?People who want face at every turn and can't hold it back, no matter how big their family business is, they will lose it sooner or later, even if they do some big things, the cost they pay will be beyond imagination.

The Zhi family has a large territory, but they usually need to feed so many people, and sometimes use soldiers from time to time. In fact, even if they have energy reserves, there is not much food that can be stored.

Under Zhiyao's planned storage plan, it took ten years for the Zhishi to store only 15 shi of grain.This is because too much food was consumed in the process of the first five-year plan, and there will be successive wars, and it can be regarded as a good management if there are reserves.

Without Zhishen's state some time ago, Zhiyao would interfere with the loan of food to the Zhao family, but now Zhiyao can't do it.

It's not that Zhiyao has a grudge against Zhishen, it's just that she loves her old father.

"If your lord asks, I hope you can stop it." Zhiyao instructed Expo Road.

Gubu Ziqing was the first retainer of the Zhao family.

Bo Landao is also the number one retainer in the Zhi clan, and it is indeed more appropriate for him to give some advice to the patriarch than Zhi Yao, who is his son.

Zhiyao also said: "My family may start construction after the age of three, and the lack of food reserves will definitely delay."

The east of "Handan" has been opening up wasteland, and Zhishi also has grain-producing areas in other areas, among which "Yuan" has the largest output.

As the population of Zhishi has been on the rise, it is obvious that it is necessary to take precautions first, and it is very necessary to build canals from Dalu Ze and Dahe.

Bo Lan said: "Three years old? The state of Wu is in full swing, and every year it sends troops to the north. I don't know when it will break the border."

The Qi State was first weakened by the Jin State, and then successively invaded by the Wu State. It is really unknown when it will fall.

Once Qi is forced to submit, Wu will definitely implement the next national policy, challenge Jin directly, and try to step on Jin to achieve the goal of hegemony.

Speaking of Wu, Zhiyao immediately thought of Zigong's report.

Zigong went to the south to conduct diplomatic relations. On the surface, he made good friends with Chu and Yue, but secretly, his main task was to contact Sun Wu, and wanted to invite Sun Wu to take a post in Jin.

Chu State really wants to live in peace with Jin State at this stage. While sorting out internal affairs, it is preparing to start a new round of contest with Wu State.

Goujian of the Yue Kingdom has been trying his best for several years, and as he accumulates more and more strength, his desire for revenge is rising all the time.

In view of the fact that the state of Jin did not fall, and that the state of Jin beat and kicked other countries, and even destroyed the state of Zhongshan, the state of Yue respected the state of Wu as the suzerain state on the surface, but secretly wanted to attach itself to the state of Jin.

In the history that has not been changed, although Jin's hegemony is in jeopardy, Goujian chose to attach to Jin, and colluded with Chu to complete the final revenge plan.

Not to mention the version of history changed by Zhiyao, the state of Jin still seems to be able to bluff people, and it must be more determined that Goujian is determined to attach to the state of Jin.

Therefore, Zigong’s diplomatic relations with Chu and Yue were very smooth. Not only did he encounter many difficulties in contacting Sun Wu, but he finally got in touch with Sun Wu. Sun Wu didn’t even have the desire to think about the development of Jin.

According to Sun Tzu, the Jin State has long had its own military style, and with Zhiyao's repeated performances, there is no need for him, an old man, to contribute to the Jin State's hegemony. He just wants to stay in the mountains and study hard, and then Make a good compilation of the book of war.

After listening to Zigong's report, Zhiyao really didn't understand whether Sun Wu really resisted going to Jin, or whether he was being closely monitored by Fu Chai and talking on the scene.

"Send your grandson to Jin?" Bo Bodao was a little confused.

Just now Zhiyao asked if it was possible to secretly bring Sun Wu back to Jin.

Broadway is of course positive about his eldest son's thirst for talents, but he said: "If the grandson is unwilling, the loss of manpower is a small matter, and Wu immediately sent troops to come here."

Zhiyao would want to do that, firstly because she really hoped to get the effect of Sun Wu, and secondly because the opportunity was really rare.

At present, Fu Chai is leading the army in "Ai Ling" to compete with the Qi army, and most of the domestic affairs are handled by Bo Tong.

Bo Tong was originally very jealous of the virtuous and capable, and also quite greedy and lustful.

Zhiyao felt that as long as he was willing to pay the price and deal with the villain Bo Tong, it was still very possible to bring Sun Wu back to Jin.

"I will have a big fight with Wu, and there is no difference between fighting early and fighting late, and even fighting early is beneficial to me." Zhiyao said.

However, Bo Landao said: "The Zhao family is going to conquer the Dai country, and all the families are still recuperating. If a big war breaks out from this matter, my family will definitely fall into the mouth of Youyou."

This is where the thinking of most people is different from that of Zhiyao and Zhao Wuxie.

Many times Zhiyao suspects that Zhao Wuxie is also a time traveler. Otherwise, how could Zhao Wuxie, a born and bred spring and autumn person, do so many things that do not conform to education and contemporary three views.

Needless to say, Zhiyao, as a time traveler, has always controlled herself and tried her best to keep her way of doing things and the bottom line of morality from breaking the lower limit of the contemporary three views, otherwise there are really not too many methods that can be used for reference.

This time, Zhiyao decided to stick to her own point of view, and she couldn't convince Bobandao or anyone that it didn't matter, she just did it anyway.

Of course, in the end, Zhiyao would still persuade Zhishen first, so as not to scare the old father into a bad situation.

"Whatever Yao wants to do, let's just do it." Zhishen actually decided that it was unnecessary for Zhiyao to persuade himself, which made him feel weird.

Zhiyao, who had prepared a lot of speeches, was stunned on the spot.

Zhiyao originally wanted to ramble on, including that it is harmful to attract Wu Guogang to face Jin at this stage, but in fact it is the best way for Jin.

The reason is that the state of Wu has made too many big moves, and the canal has not yet been built. Even the state of Jin is at a weak moment. It is actually more beneficial for the state of Jin to really start a contest.

Another point is that Qi State is probably hesitating whether to give in to Wu Guo. If Jin State does not perform well and even suffers from Wu State, Qi State should make up his mind to give in to Wu State first.

Then, once the State of Qi is subdued to the State of Wu, they will become the help of the State of Wu to challenge the State of Jin, and will also have a series of effects because of the State of Qi’s submission, such as the State of Lu, the State of Song, and the State of Zheng standing in front of the State of Wu On the one hand, let's target Jin together.

Zhiyao didn't have a chance to say that to Zhishen. In the next few days, she simply visited each family and went to Wei Ju, Zhao Bolu, Han Geng, Hu You, and Zhong Wu to explain the pros and cons of inducing Wu to invade Jin.

Of course, Zhiyao will definitely not mention the fact that Zhishi wants Sun Wu to work for him, it is enough to just talk about the needs of the overall situation.

What's interesting is that Wei Ju showed his extreme approval of Zhiyao's proposal, and also listed some points that Zhiyao did not raise.

Han Buxin believed that the families hadn't recovered their vitality, so he clearly expressed his opposition through Han Geng's mouth.

Zhao Bolu looked like he didn't know what to do.

Hu You and Zhong Wu are their fathers, and it will be difficult to express their opinions for a while.

As far as the matter is concerned, although Zhiyao has selfish intentions, she also takes into account the overall situation.

No matter in the late Spring and Autumn period or in the long term, selfishness is a relatively normal thing. Who can blame the country if it can be beneficial to the country while realizing selfishness?

After Zhishen officially left the field, the idea he came up with was to wait for the outcome of the "Battle of Ai Ling".

If the Jin-Qi allied forces defeated Wu Jun, it would be fine, and if Wu Jun won, it would be to implement Zhiyao's suggestion.

So, to what extent has the ongoing "Battle of Ailing" progressed?
