I am a nobleman in Spring and Autumn

Chapter 419 This follow-up is a bit amazing!

Why did Zhiyao choose "Tang" as the country name?Just look at the reactions of Chu Junzhang, Qin Junci and other princes!

They guessed that Tang State would take destroying Jin State as its primary goal next, so that the choice of the country name would be legally rational. Either the emotions would be relaxed all of a sudden, or they would be hostile to the new Tang State from the very beginning.

In a way, after receiving the signal from Zhiyao, the princes will definitely make a trade-off, and what choice they will make depends on the current situation of the country they are in.

There are not many countries that can take the lead, and there is only one Chu country in a circle.

But Chu State's own troubles have not yet been resolved, and there is even more fat waiting after Wu State's demise. Even if they know that Tang will replace Jin State as the hegemony of the Central Plains, they will most likely choose the current interests.

Zhiyao deployed in Chu State a long time ago. It is impossible to control Chu State, but it is still possible to ask some Chu State nobles to help speak.

Now we are looking at the role that those nobles who have been bought can play, and how big it is.

Let me say it again, repeating the country name means recognizing the father, what's the matter with Ji Tang?Could it be that he recognized Qi Tang as his father?

In other eras, such as Cao Wei, they also recognized Ji Wei as their father?
There are too many repeated country titles in the history of Zhuxia, some of them want to obtain legal inheritance, more of them are because of their geographical location, and a few are just fooling around without studying.

Similarly, the title of the country is to recognize the father. Obviously, this kind of statement... is a bit of that.

In terms of brain circuits, Zhiyao has always been different from many people, and it took him a lot of effort to come up with a way that others can "understand".

Fortunately, Chu Junzhang's choice is not to fight immediately, he may turn around in the back, but that will be a matter of later.

With Chu Junzhang and Qin Junci taking the lead and wanting to cooperate with the Tang State, at least the crisis of the princes besieging the newborn Tang State for a short time will be resolved.This point is very important to the Tang State. If they were to establish a state, they would be besieged. Even if they could withstand it, how many years would it take for Zhiyao to recover?

So, some inexplicable actions or choices actually have a very obvious purpose!
It may be a fluke to accomplish something, but more to see if you have seized the opportunity.

Zhiyao's choice of timing is good. At present, the princes have their own troubles that they cannot ignore. Even if they want to jointly destroy the new Tang Kingdom, they will not be able to form a coalition army in reality.

In the future, Zhiyao and Chu Junzhang have many things to talk about, such as developing in the south and north, not making trouble for each other, and committing to annexing the countries in the south and north?
Of course, things won’t be that simple, and at the same time, it’s impossible for there to be no sabotage actions. Zhiyao just wants to let Chu Junzhang know that Tang will not go south in a short time. Once Chu rejects the proposal, things won’t be too much Change is nothing more than confrontation.

Zhiyao thinks that Chu Junzhang has a better chance of accepting the proposal.

After all, with the lessons of Wu State, Chu State would not want to see Yue State rise on the basis of Wu State.

Then, there is the temptation to destroy the state of Jin, and at the same time, the state of Tang and the state of Chu have the goal of targeting the state of Yue together.

Now it depends on the choice of Chu's monarch and ministers, whether to choose to cooperate with Tang, or to join forces with the princes to attack Tang.

Zhiyao still firmly believes that the Chu State seized the time to quickly annex the southern countries in order to gain an advantage before the confrontation between the north and the south formed, and launched the northward battle earlier than Tang's southward movement.

"I'm in the most dangerous moment right now. If the princes don't form a coalition immediately and attack directly at the border of the Song Kingdom, the crisis will be temporarily relieved, and then they can divide and win..." Zhiyao thought.

Seriously speaking, Zhiyao never thinks that the princes are stupid.

Even if some princes are really stupid, they also have smart courtiers.

What I am most afraid of is actually a strong enough and stupid guy who does whatever he wants to do, for example, he wants to kill the newborn Tang Guo regardless of other things.

Are there really such princes?The existence of those courtiers is Zhiyao...or Tang is lucky.

Of course, Zhiyao has another insurance, which is to repeatedly demonstrate the strength of Zhiyao.

Regarding how powerful the Zhi family is, Zhi Yao has repeatedly shown it a few years ago, in order to keep the princes rational.

Once the princes think about how much loss they would have if they wanted to kill the Tang State, or even be killed by the Tang State, they must be more cautious before making a choice.

Now there is a question, how big is the territory of the new Tang Dynasty?
The original state of Wei was fully annexed by the Zhi family.

Donglai of Qi State is still the territory of Chen State.

The state of Jin is missing the western half corner and a small piece of the heart.

Calculated from modern administrative units, the Tang State controls eight-tenths of Shanxi, enjoys the entire territory of Hebei, occupies northern Henan, controls about two-thirds of Shandong, and invades southern Inner Mongolia. Calculated by area, it is about 55 square kilometers.

Only 55 square kilometers?It looks small, but it is the early days of the Warring States Period!
In terms of territorial area, Tang State was slightly inferior to Chu State.

If it is calculated from the degree of development, there is no doubt that the essence of the Tang Kingdom is the most numerous among the current vassal states.

Taking grain production land as an example, the original "Wen" and "Yuan" of the Jin State were all owned by the Tang State. Before that, the Zhi family had reclaimed 13 to [-] hectares of farmland east of "Handan", which later increased to [-] hectares.

Think 13 hectares of farmland is very little?It is indeed a bit small, but it is still the same saying that it is the early Warring States period, and the territory of many vassal states may not be 13 hectares.

Zhiyao felt that the next thing she needed to figure out was how much farmland Tang had, but she knew in her heart that it would be difficult, difficult, difficult to have accurate data!
In fact, at present, no one or any country can be accurate in any matter, even if there is unreliable data, it is not bad, and more is simply blind.

Zhi's..., in the future, it should be Tang. Once the second five-year plan is completed, more than 20 hectares of fertile land can be added, which will definitely become the foundation to support Zhiyao's repeated national wars.

Of course, we should not only rely on the agricultural areas to the east of "Handan" or around the big river, but we must count the grain-producing areas in other areas.

It cannot be ignored how many people there were in the original state of Qi. It is impossible for them to rely on buying food from outside to survive. It is not so dry to maintain the rations of nearly 200 million people.

Before, the Zhi family had been counting how many farmlands there were in the Qi State, and it would be difficult to figure it out for a while. The only thing that was clear was that there were so many mulberry and hemp fields in the old Qi State that it was terrifying.

That's a natural thing. Who told Qi State to be a big textile country, and if they wanted to obtain enough raw materials, how could there be no mulberry and hemp fields?

It was the same situation in the original Zhi family. The number of sangma fields was extremely large. Later, under Zhiyao's intervention, they were gradually changed to grain production fields. textile industry.

Nothing is perfect, the difference lies in how people choose and arrange.

Later, Zhiyao deployed sangma fields to Hebei, which proved to be an excellent approach, because the precipitation in that area was too sufficient, and a large number of sangma fields could play a role in changing the geographical environment.

Population?The population of the Tang State is about 470 million, which is the largest among the vassal states in terms of number.

Such a large population is naturally due to the fact that the Zhi family has annexed so many countries and families one after another. Just by killing the Wei family, it can increase by about 50.

The population of 470 million in the early Warring States Period is undoubtedly a rather terrifying number. It depends on whether Zhiyao can eliminate the status of the old countries in Li Shu's heart.

Zhiyao, who was thinking about things, hardly listened to Zhong Quan's meeting with Handa.

Now that Zhiyao is the king of a country, how can he discuss state affairs with others in person when all the pomp and circumstance should be arranged?
Zhong Quan is responsible for communicating with Handa.

But Zhong Quan will get a high position in the Tang country next, but it is not something like ruling.

"Ji Zhou originally implemented the Sangong Jiuqing system, but it's just an incomplete version. The establishment of the Tang Kingdom is still a bit hasty, but it can't continue the current practice of the vassal states, and some changes must be made." Zhiyao is thinking about this.

The Sangong Jiuqing really came from the Ji Zhou Dynasty, and it was not fully perfected until the Western Han Dynasty.

It is said that the establishment of the country was too hasty this time, mainly because Zhiyao was still hesitant about what system to use, so that the country was established, and it was not confirmed what system to use, resulting in no official appointments, only high-standard treatment .

From the perspective of others, what else could the Tang state be other than continuing to follow the system of vassal states?

"It is definitely not suitable to use the three provinces and six departments. There are not so many talents at present. Even if we make up the numbers, we can't make up the required personnel, and if we make up the numbers, we might as well have none." Seeing Handa standing up, Zhiyao stopped thinking and turned her attention back .

"That's it, I will take my leave." Handa saluted Zhiyao.

Why did Handa call himself "Chen" for Zhiyao?That's right, no matter Zheng Junyi or Tang Junyao, they are all one of the princes of Zhou Tianzi, which means that their respective officials are not under the control of each other, they should be "family".

In addition, how did he become Zheng Junyi?It was Zheng Junsheng who had passed away.

Under the current situation, unless it is a very small number of monarchs, it is difficult to attract the attention of all countries.

Zheng Guo is still a second-rate powerful country, but the timing of Zheng Junsheng's death is a bit wrong. Everyone is attracted by Chu's alliance and Zhi's turning their families into a country.

Under the background that Chu State did not take the lead in forming a coalition to attack Tang State, Zheng State changed the king of a country, and was eager to have a good start with the new Tang State.

"Your Majesty." Zhong Quan felt a little awkward with the new address, and he would not show it. After a pause, he continued: "Zheng Guo is willing to replace the land of 'Ji' with the land of 'Yan'."

This "Yan" refers to the original Nanyan.

Zhiyao nodded with a smile, and said, "That's good."

Tang State has the strategically important "Tiger Prison", so it doesn't matter whether there is a "sacrifice" place or not.

To put it more clearly, the "sacrifice" land does not have dangerous mountains and rivers that are difficult to attack. If Tang Guo does not want to stimulate Zheng Guo too much, he has no spare energy to resume production, and it may be destroyed by war if it is developed. It would be a good idea to replace "Nanyan" s Choice.

For Tang State, the "sacrifice" place is irrelevant, but for Zheng State, the "sacrifice" place is the northern gateway of "Xinzheng", and the replacement will benefit Tang State's subsequent diplomatic relations with Zheng State.

People from Zheng Guo left.

Han Geng, who had been waiting all this time, asked to see him immediately.

After Han Geng saluted, he said, "Gen is not Jin Zhengqing."

It was just a sentence, and Zhiyao was obviously stunned when he said it.

Zhiyao asked: "So, what does Geng want to do?"

Without the slightest hesitation, Han Geng said, "Enter Tang!"

Say it again.

What's the matter?

To be honest, Zhiyao had expected this kind of situation, but she didn't expect it to happen like this, she couldn't react for a while, and she froze in place.
