I am a nobleman in Spring and Autumn

Chapter 362 Incomprehensible Operation
Zhiyao has never liked Zhao Wuxie, and it is not necessary to say how much she hates him. It is purely because she feels jealous because she knows some "historical answers".

Now, many of Zhao Wuji's actions have proved to be worthy of Zhiyao's fear. He is cruel and poisonous, and his courage is far beyond ninety-nine percent of contemporary people.

"I am thankful that I seized the opportunity to have the Zhao family removed from the state of Jin. If I let that guy have a chance to operate with peace of mind, he will definitely become a poisonous snake hiding in the dark. If he doesn't move, it will be my most dangerous moment." .” Zhiyao has already dispatched people to the north.

That area is currently Lou's sphere of influence, but Lou's has no co-owner, and the tribes are not at peace with each other. Generally speaking, it's hard to say whether they identify with the same ethnic group.

Zhiyao summoned Cheng Wu and said: "I will give you three thousand cavalry, follow the traces of the Zhao family to the north, and look for an opportunity to attack."

Cheng Wu didn't understand why Zhiyao wanted to hold on to Mrs. Zhao, but he respectfully replied, "No!"

Zhiyao said again: "Lou Fan is afraid of me, you can make it, and you can make it known."

Lou Fann had been involved in several wars in the Jin Kingdom, and he was beaten all over the head without any accident.

It is precisely because the Jin people's ability to fight makes Lou Fan feel jealous that Zhao Wuxie can easily form alliances with several Lou Fan tribes after he went to Daiguo.

Now, Zhishi must let Lou Fanren understand that once they get together with Zhao Shi, they will become the target of Zhishi's attack, and they will use practical actions to tell those Lou Fanren why Zhishi has become the most powerful recognized by the state of Jin His family, even the most powerful family in the world today, is not one of them.

That's right, taking the family as a unit, the Zhi Clan is indeed the most powerful one, even much stronger than many countries.

The Zhi family successively annexed Qiu You, Zhongshan, and Wei, increasing the population by about 40, and later captured two-fifths of the territory of Qi, increasing the population by about 35.

At present, the total population of Zhishi is about 250 million. The hidden danger is whether the population increased by annexation will return.

People's hearts are difficult to measure, and they still need to be tested again and again to make a point, but they will appear to be very unpredictable, because people's hearts are inherently fickle. They may be loyal one moment, and betrayed the next second.

Of course, the 250 million population is an estimate of Zhiyao, the data is definitely not so accurate, and it is really difficult to be accurate.

"Four years ago, the use of military exploits to reward the land must have ushered in a wave of baby boomers. If we continue to divide the land, we will inevitably have new baby boomers." Zhiyao did not use administrative orders to encourage births. , It's not that I don't want to, it's that I don't dare.

Encouraging childbearing alone without other guarantees?What will usher in will not be a baby boom, but an inhumane disaster.

In the current era, unless the state of Jin has reached the level of "disciple", or unless it is a savage, Li Shu needs the family to guarantee food and drink.

So here comes the question, Li Shu...or the people of the family, it is not wrong that they are generating income, but at the same time, they are also consuming. Should we control the population based on the annual grain harvest, so as not to guarantee the basic food supply?
Another point that is very embarrassing is that not everyone can be used as a source of soldiers. Once they become a source of soldiers, they are almost out of production. They usually need to practice killing skills, and they must be assembled from time to time to teach them to obey the password. It means that the family wages wars from time to time, and the family can still collect taxes from them. They may not be able to support family expenses without additional income.

Don't look at Zhiyao's frequent gathering of hundreds of thousands of troops, which is actually used to scare people. If they really want to pull them out to fight, it will take less than two years. Believe it or not, Zhiyao himself collapsed first?
Just look at the number of troops that Zhiyao actually used many times. The most he used was 12, and the duration did not exceed four months. months.

That is the limitation of productivity, and it proves that many people may be able to become soldiers. The terrible thing is that the materials produced cannot keep up, and at the same time, the tragedy of self-destruction will occur.

The Zhi family is much better than other families. For example, the Wei family dispatched [-] troops at the most, and the duration was only three months. Obviously, recruiting [-] soldiers to fight for three months is the limit of the Wei family.

"It's a pity that Jin can't take Lu's route, and Lu's route...seems not enough." Zhiyao was a little stunned when she saw a document.

The Lu State was the same as the Jin State before, non-savages were ruled by the family, they also produced for the family, and at the same time relied on the family to provide living security.

Later, when the state of Lu carried out reforms, they took out the well field system, started to divide the land from the Chinese people, and gradually spread it to groups other than the savages.

In less than 30 years, the state of Lu had been using the well field system, and it became an inexplicable situation. A large number of self-cultivating farmers became the subjects of a certain family. Not only did people become slaves, but the land also became the name of a certain family.

That is of course a kind of merger, whether it is the use of force or other means, anyway, it has left sufficient experience in land mergers for the powerful gentry of later generations.

Zhiyao was able to confirm that the State of Lu did not use natural disasters to create man-made disasters. It is nothing more than that the current Central Plains has a tropical climate, which is probably similar to that of Guangdong and Guangxi in later generations. The difference is that it will snow in winter.

The tropical climate has no shortage of rain, and it even snows in winter. How can agriculture be worse?God gives face, so naturally there will be no disaster years.

Therefore, it is really rare to see records of disasters in the Spring and Autumn Period in history books.

In the past, it was a "war of gentlemen" mode, and they would not kill Li Shu, and would not destroy production facilities. In bad years, they would increase taxes, and at worst, they would be arranged to compensate the victors as slaves.

The times are changing, the mode of war has changed, and it has become the norm for wars to affect people in Lizhou, but no one has done the kind of thing that stares at the destruction of production facilities in other countries.

The document that Zhiyao saw just now mentioned the news that Gubu Ziqing had hanged herself.

Such a person who stirred up the situation for a certain period of time, and could even be said to have single-handedly created history, ended his life by hanging himself.

To say that Gubu Ziqing made history means that he recommended Zhao Wuxie to the top position.

In the original history, Zhao Wuxie replaced Zhao Bolu as the head of the Zhao family. He hid in the dark and stared at the Zhi family all his life. Anyway, whatever Zhiyao wanted to do was to destroy it, which caused great trouble for Zhiyao to restore the hegemony of Jin. , Later, Zhiyao was simply put down, and then the Wei family and the Han family were taken to carve up the Zhi family, and then the chief director split the Jin country.

In this historical version, after Zhao Wuxie replaced Zhao Bolu, he still did a lot of things, and his vitality was a bit tenacious, and he was targeted by Zhiyao so many times in a row, but it was not over yet.

Zhiyao expressed her feelings a little bit, and saw another document that needed attention.

This document is jointly signed by Wei and Han. Wei is willing to give the land of "Yin" and "Lu" to Zhi, and Han is willing to give the land of "picking mulberry" to Zhi.

Conscience of heaven and earth, Zhiyao didn't ask Wei or Han for the fiefdom. It was also a fief replacement before, and she didn't ask Wei and Han for empty teeth.

Zhi’s current fiefdom is large enough. After Fan’s and Zhongxing’s delisting of the relatively important Shangdang area, Zhiyao strongly asked Zhi to grab it. At that time, he failed to grab it. Later, when Zhao’s delisting, Zhiyao replaced it. The method was acquired from Han's exchange.

Other locations?In terms of strategic locations, Zhishi does not need the Fenshui Corridor, and at the same time arranges Weiguo in "Mo" as a buffer. Are there any strategic locations in the rest of the border area?

"What are Wei and Han doing?" Zhi Yao didn't believe that Wei Ju and Han Geng would send fiefs without purpose.

"Yin" land and "Lu" land are currently surrounded by the Zhi family, and they can be regarded as the enclaves of the Wei family in the northern part of Jin. As long as the Zhi family does not intend to target the Wei family, it is nothing to be an enclave.

It is even more inexplicable that the Han family sent "Mulberry Picking" to them. It is clear that Ming Zhi's family has transferred the core of the family to "Handan" and "Ye" cities. There are signs of giving up there, so there is no need to add another connected fiefdom.

The Wei family and the Han family wanted to give away the land, but they didn't ask for any exchange, saying it was a gift.

So here comes the question, Zhishi didn't ask for it, let alone act arrogantly towards Weishi and Hanshi, what purpose do they have, or what are they afraid of?
"Could it be that you give gifts first, and then ask for help against Zheng and Qin?" What Zhiyao knew was that the Han family's expedition to the west this year was fruitless, and the Wei family's southern expedition had no results.

Winter is coming soon, Zhiyao has enough patience to wait, and wait for Wei Ju and Han Geng to return to "Xintian" to meet and talk again.

To be honest, Zhiyao is still very happy that several powerful families have their own targets, so as not to stare at each other and focus on how to make trouble for each other, it is easy to turn into a war if one is not careful.

In less than 30 years, the state of Jin has already experienced two major civil wars. If there is another one, the state of Jin will have to play "GG".

Before winter, Wei Ju and Han Geng returned to "Xintian" successively.

After Zhiyao waited for both of them to come back, she invited them to go to a certain mountain outside the city to enjoy the cold.

This is because Zhiyao is sensible, and she knows that she has not reconfirmed her mutual attitude, so don't invite the head of the family to be a guest at home.

"Yao has another heir, so I haven't had time to congratulate her."

"The Zhi family added another generation of land, and gave the land of 'Yin' and 'Lu' as congratulations."

Wei Ju, who came first, was all smiles when he saw Zhiyao.

Of course Zhiyao greeted her with a smile, stood up to meet her, and then invited Wei Ju to enter the shed and sit down.

With the last kick, Han Geng, who arrived later, also said some words of congratulations, and said that the gift of "picking mulberries" was also for congratulations.

Winter is approaching, even though Jindi is currently in a warm climate, the wind is still full of coolness.

Of course, the three of them met to reminisce about the old days first, and talked about some experiences they could tell about last year, which seemed to be very happy.

Waiting to feel that the atmosphere was almost over, Zhiyao took the lead in talking about the topic and said: "How dare you accept the gift without getting an inch of merit?"

In short, it's not that Zhiyao doesn't want to increase the fief, there must be a suitable reason, so as not to follow the old path of "Zhiyao"!
