I am a nobleman in Spring and Autumn

Chapter 385 The Great Reform Era Comes

Cuirass may work in Zhuxia, but there is basically no market for plate armor in Zhuxia.

how to say?Zhuxia has relatively high requirements for the army, that is, it is difficult to pursue a single purpose, and the plate armor is not easy to accept just for a flexible maneuver.

Let’s talk about the protection of the thighs and calves. The West is equipped with metal leggings below the crotch, while Zhu Xia is using the skirt armor. The reason is of course that installing armor on the legs will make too many movements inflexible.

To put it bluntly, Zhuxia's territory is really too wide, especially in a mountainous terrain. Europa's military thinking really cannot be applied to Zhuxia's army.

Zhiyao understands that the Wei family is eager to make reforms. If the Zhi family saw new trends in other families and showed results time and time again, they would be very anxious.

Wei Shi has a ready-made idea and sees the feasibility, so why not try it?

"I can be regarded as leading the development of the times." Of course Zhiyao was under pressure.

The "Wei Wuzu" in the original history played all kinds of tricks, and even fought a battle in which 50 "Wei Wuzu" brutally abused [-] Qin troops.

No matter how ignorant Zhiyao is of the history of the Spring and Autumn and Warring States, it is unlikely that she doesn't even know the "Battle of Yin and Jin".

Of course, in the state of Qin before the reform, it seemed that Qin Mugong was at the top when he was alive, and then continued to fall down to Qin Xiaogong's generation, and it became taller only after Shang Yang's reform.

The Zhi family is leading the times, and the Wei family in the Jin Kingdom has stepped up to keep up, and the rest of the families cannot remain indifferent.

The follow-up also proved that point, no matter how much movement there is, the several families have started some new measures of their own anyway.

What's more interesting is that Fox and Zhong fully imitated within Zhi's framework, and even after negotiating with Zhi, they sent people to "Father Huang" to learn.

For other people, no matter how good their friendship is, they would not want people from other families to study here. Zhiyao has seen a series of effects brought about by "learning".

At the beginning of modern times, Amei was willing to give money to people to study in their country. Why? experience.

Going to a certain place, because they are really advanced, the more they recognize the reality, the more they will feel awe, and the trend of assimilation of ideas will appear again.

To put it bluntly, being strong is a kind of nature, and the will of most people is still easily shaken.

Hu's and Zhong's want to come to Zhi's to study?They will go through countless experiences, and the greater the gap between the two sides, the more likely they will become "smart blows".

Zhiyao herself wanted to swallow the Fox family and the Zhong family, and the two families also showed a gesture of getting closer, and increasing cooperation became an ideal way.

To be honest, the Fox family and the Zhong family are just make up for in the existing noble families.They are obviously aware of this, so they rationally don't fight with anyone, hugging the thickest thigh.

Of course, the Fox family and the Zhong family must never have imagined that Zhiyao was rushing to Dai Jin.

If one day Zhiyao really gets things done, it is impossible for the entire country to be controlled by members of the Zhi clan in every aspect, and some "outsiders" still need to exist.

After many inquiries, Zhiyao learned that "Wei Wuzu" was trained by Wei Ju himself.

During the period, Wei Ju mentioned to Zhiyao that he wanted to hire Zixia, and Zhishi could ask for anything he wanted.

This made Zhiyao a little surprised, and later found out that Zixia was originally from Jin, and was born in the "Wen" land.

Don't ask why Zhiyao didn't know before.This is the same as why a country's politicians have to know a county-level official. There is no reason why they must know.

After Zhiyao's understanding, she wondered what Wei Ju valued Zixia.

In Zhishi's talent file, Zixia is a "Confucian" with a high level of literary attainment. If there is any characteristic, it is probably that he does not follow the principles of Confucius.

At present, Zixia is not in the Zhi family. He is completely free and has returned to his hometown "Wen", which is a bit like teaching and educating people.

In view of Zixia's previous position in Zhishi, Wei Ju, who didn't want Zhizhi to misunderstand him, specifically approached Zhiyao about hiring Zixia.

In fact, Zhiyao didn't know that Zixia had taken in two disciples behind him, and they were named Li Kui and Wu Qi.

If Zhiyao knew, she wouldn't let Zixia go so easily, she would keep it in her hand whether it is useful or not.

Because Zhiyao didn't know, naturally she wouldn't stop the Wei family from recruiting Zixia.

As for what the Zhi family got from the Wei family?At present, the Wei family does not have any outstanding talents, and it would be philistine to focus on anything else, so it can only be left for later.

What Zhiyao and Wei Ju didn't realize was that they had added strength to the arrival of the new era. With Zixia's precedent, there was a frequent flow of talents within Jin, and later it simply drove the flow of talents in other countries.

"We have entered the era of great reform!" Zhi Yao embraced Zhi Ke and said something that no one could understand.

It's not that I don't understand what the era of the Great Reformation is, it's just that Zhiyao said it in Mandarin.

The Zhao family of Jin State took the first step in the reform, and then the Zhi family took the biggest step under Zhiyao's operation, and the Wei family and other families followed, which means that the Jin State is undergoing reform.

A country as powerful as Jin is seeking change, and other countries don't want to have more self-protection capabilities, and even some countries don't want to surpass Jin?

Chu State, which has been in frequent contact with Jin State recently, took the lead to keep up. Chu Junzhang entrusted the new Ling Yin Bai Gongsheng to preside over the reform.

The first thing Bai Gongsheng did was to invite nobles from all over the country to come to the capital. When hosting a banquet, he suddenly threw a cup as a sign, and a large group of warriors rushed out and killed some of the nobles who came to the banquet. The rest were carried out according to the list. arrest.

The incident happened in the state of Chu, even though the state of Chu is very unruly, it will still make people's jaw drop when they hear about it.

Once Zhao Yang had been scolded for so long for killing Zhao Wu, who came to serve the ceremony, and it became one of Zhao Jianzi's unavoidable black spots.

Bai Gongsheng killed about [-] nobles who were invited to the banquet, and imprisoned about [-] people. Can it be said that the matter is not big enough?
What happened later was even more outrageous. Bai Gongsheng joined forces with the Qu, Jing and Zhao clans to sweep across one family after another, and relatively easily wiped out the leaderless families.

Among Qu's, Jing's, and Zhao's, Qu's appeared the earliest, while Zhao's just rose up. They are not considered the biggest dignitaries in Chu country now, but with this action, Bai Gongsheng can really get rid of them. For those disobedient families, the rise of the Qu, Jing, and Zhao families will become an inevitable trend.

Bai Gongsheng did that for one reason. He wanted to use such a drastic method to end the separatist situation within the Chu State and re-strengthen the central government's control over the localities.

"Wu Guo just looks at it like that?" Zhiyao didn't understand this.

To be honest, Zhiyao was really surprised by Bai Gongsheng's ruthlessness and determination!
Massacres of nobles will definitely bring a bad name. There is absolutely no doubt about this. The reason is that the right to speak is in the hands of the nobles. When the nobles see so many of their kind being killed, they will not care about the reasons. "Things hurt their kind" empathy.

If this kind of thing is done, it will not leave a good reputation, and if it is not done, a large-scale civil war will break out.It means that the risk is really too great, and Bai Gongsheng is also using himself as firewood, trying to illuminate the state of Chu.

The current situation is that the state of Chu is full of wars, and it is impossible for the state of Wu to not be aware of the situation in the state of Chu. Why is Fu Chai just watching?
On this day, Zhiyao came to the banquet again.

The venue was in the Han family's house, and there were not many people participating in the banquet, mainly because of the level gap between them.

Let's put it this way, there is a class gap between people, and they will form their own circles. It really doesn't mean that you can get in if you want.

Besides, the gap between them is too big, and it will be the weaker side who will feel uncomfortable at that time.

Speak a word of conscience, if you know you are weak, don't force yourself. Others have long been tired of listening to flattery, and if you bump into it a little, you will usher in a catastrophe.

Today, Han Geng is organizing the game, and those who are present are either "Qing" or "Qing's" heirs, which can be regarded as a high-end game.

From the very beginning, Han Geng clarified the theme and exchanged their innovation experience.

Zhiyao is not very interested in this kind of banquet, and it is impossible not to come.

As long as the old Han's dishes are a bit new, Zhiyao won't be able to move the fork a few times, and then just sit and listen to them talk about some tricks that are feasible or not.

Most of them seem to be able to implement, but in fact, there will be big problems in implementing them.

For example, Wei Ju mentioned the complete abolition of the "well field system", but he did not mention any new plan to replace it.

Then, when Han Geng mentioned the release of the slaves, he couldn't help but mention the slave uprising that was raging in Lu State.

According to the rumors, Bandit Zhi led his troops to rampage around the territory of Lu State, defeated Lu State's troops several times, and repeatedly wreaked havoc on areas close to several small countries.

If there is no accident, Lu Guo Sanhuan should have entered the stage of exerting his strength, forcing Bandit Zhi to lead his team into several small countries?
In this wave, the Lu State suffered the heaviest loss, and the rest of the countries were not completely unaffected. The scale of slave uprisings was not as large as that of the Lu State. The terrible thing was that they happened frequently, and then there were more and more incidents of Chinese people assassinating nobles.

Taking advantage of the great chaos in Lu State, Lao Zhi's family absorbed more than [-] Lu people in less than seven months, which really made a lot of money.

"I heard that there was also great chaos in the country of Wu. The river was dug and the slaves were violent, and there were many followers." Han Geng said.

Zhiyao's attention immediately became concentrated.

It turns out that Wu State did not seize the opportunity to engage Chu State because the slave uprising also broke out?

"Why did the Han family get the news first?" Zhiyao was confused about this.

Zhi's attention to the south is very high, especially Fu Chai's recovery. Seeing Gou Jian's violent temper, he still doesn't know what the situation will be.

The Han family will pass the news back before the Zhi family, mainly because they sent people to Wu to seek smelting technology, and it seems that there are some results.

No kidding, in terms of smelting technology, the south was really more advanced at the beginning. Old Han's family went to Wu State to learn Buddhist scriptures, didn't Lao Wei's family also send people to Chu State to learn Buddhist scriptures?

Why not seek advanced technology from Zhishi?This question is too deep to give an answer...
