I am a nobleman in Spring and Autumn

Chapter 443 Entering the Southern and Northern Dynasties in advance?
Zhiyao's attitude towards Zhao Bolu seems to be consistent.

This is Zhiyao taking Zhao Bolu as her own standard of being a person. To be clear is the bottom line of being a person.

Since Zhiyao and Zhao Bolu got acquainted, the attitude they showed was friendly, because they knew that Zhao Bolu was not Zhiyao's enemy, and even with Zhao Bolu's ability, he couldn't be Zhiyao's enemy.

If she won't become an enemy, Zhiyao will never be so arrogant and domineering, at most it is an attitude of ignoring.

How about dealing with the enemy?Zhiyao's moral bottom line will be very flexible.

In fact, people are like that, there is no constant standard, some just look at who they get along with and whether the relationship between them has changed.

Does it mean that there is no lower limit with anyone or the lower limit is infinitely high?This kind of person is either a fool, or a bad person who harms others and himself.

After all, a mentally retarded person can tell who is good to him and who is bad to him, and has his own set of standards for getting along with others.

"When you get acquainted with Shangjun, you know that Shangjun will make great achievements." Zhao Bolu said sincerely.

Zhiyao could see that Zhao Bolu's attitude towards her was very peaceful, and she didn't see any hatred, and the change of title also brought respect for the monarch.

If Zhao Bolu can act?He must not be Zhao Bolu, it can only be said that the attitude shown is what he thinks in his heart.

"Now, the territory of the widow starts from Jingshui in the west, reaches the East China Sea in the east, reaches Surabaya in the south, and enters the grasslands in the north; the territory is so vast, the population is large, the army is powerful, and the food production is so large that no prince can match it." Zhiyao Somewhat with a kind of showing off.

Having achieved something, not being able to brag to others is a very uncomfortable thing.

What's the point of Zhiyao bragging to his subordinates?If there is any, the ministers will sing praises for Zhiyao.

Of course, Zhiyao doesn't want the old country to have a slack atmosphere, and once he finds that his subordinates are a little drifting, he will come up with new goals to spur him on.

The Zhi family's replacement of the Jin Dynasty is just the beginning, and the annexation of Qi, Qiuyou, Zhongshan, and Wei is just a process towards a greater goal. What goals are achieved next time, there will be new goals.

Having a clear goal is simply too crucial, especially for a country.

How many countries have not found a new goal after completing the goals set, and they will inevitably become comfortable, the wind of pleasure will spread again, and then enter the period of decline.

"Your Majesty, the corvée of the Yuan Kingdom is far more serious than the feudal lords!" Zhao Bolu felt that the former Jin Kingdom was already too much, but he did not expect that the Yuan Congress would intensify.

Zhao Bolu is talking about this as a friend, which can be regarded as a kind of kindness.

Zhiyao shook her head with a smile, without any rebuttal.

There are two types of corvee in the original country. One is the free contribution of the princes... and it cannot be said to be free. It is a kind of exchange for mutual payment in which country you live in and is protected; the other is paid labor. Generally, wages are not paid directly, but can be food, cloth or other industrial products, such as agricultural tools, or cattle, horses, and sheep.

The period of labor service paid to each other will not exceed three months. Those who serve in corvee need to bring their own dry food, and usually also serve in corvée near their hometown.

Paid corvee is actually a good thing for Li Shu. Even eating and drinking at the public house can save money for the family, not to mention bringing back the earned items.

As long as the princes really value the original country, how could they have not found out what is going on with the paid labor in the original country.

Driving Li Shu to work is not only taken for granted by the princes, but also by the nobles. If they want to say what they think of Zhiyao's actions, there is only one thing: what a spoiler!

So, even if some countries have money or resources to engage in paid labor, they will not be willing to follow suit, and they would rather use slaves to death?
At present, it seems that there is no shortage of copper, but in fact Zhuxia has always been short of copper!
Because of the lack of copper, and the lack of silver and gold reserves, Zhiyao was unable to reform the currency.

In fact, the land of Zhuxia not only lacks copper mines, but also does not have many silver mines and gold mines, so that from a long time ago to a long time in the future, bartering is a common practice, and basically food and cloth are the most popular. The longest, widest, and hardest currency, among which the price fluctuation of cloth is slightly smaller.

"I want to build a city here as the 'capital'." Zhiyao took Zhao Bolu to the west of 'Puyang' thirty miles away.

The terrain here is flat, about ten miles away from the big river, thirty miles away from "Chuqiu" in the west, and a city called "鉏" in the south.

Then, it means that the capital of the original country will be surrounded by "Puyang", "Chuqiu" and "鉏" from three directions, which are also the outer barriers of the capital of the original country.

In fact, in addition to serving as barriers, "Puyang", "Chuqiu" and "鉏" will also serve as strongholds, and the existing agricultural base can be expanded around the city.

The role of the city is that. While connecting the villages, the city is the center and then connects the villages to form a safe and secure area, and then carry out related agricultural production.

Zhao Bolu didn't seem to be surprised, and said: "The Zhi family has built many cities. Only 'Ye' is a great city."

At the beginning, Zhiyao wanted to use "Ye" as the capital, but later found that the geographical location was a bit wrong, and then found that the convenient transportation could be used as an industrial city.

Later, it proved that Zhiyao's vision was absolutely correct. Using "Ye" as an industrial city and then using the grain production around "Handan" not only facilitated transportation, but also ensured food supply.

The fact is that the "Ye" city, which is regarded as an industrial city, serves nearly 10 people in Hancheng and its surrounding areas, and at least 7 to [-] people in the Taihang Mountains. There is not enough food supply. Are you kidding me?
The industrialized city is close enough to the grain production area, how much cost can be saved in transportation alone?As for the industrial pollution produced, regardless of the large scale of "Ye" City, the industrial pollution caused is probably not as large as a modern paper mill or stone cutting factory.

No kidding, without any environmental protection measures, a paper mill or a stone cutting factory, a river can be destroyed, or the surrounding area will become a vast expanse of barren grass.

Zhiyao took Zhao Bolu for a walk, she felt relaxed, and she was able to brag to her heart's content, which relieved a lot of fatigue all at once.

The next day.

Zhiyao successively received envoys from Chu, Yue, Song, Zheng, and other countries.

The envoys of the State of Chu came to talk about one thing, and wanted to redeem the prisoners of war in the "Battle of Weishui" and "Battle of Mao".

The envoys of Chu State did not mention anything about the relationship between the two countries, and they quickly changed the subject if they touched on it.

The Vietnamese envoy emphasized one thing, friendly, friendly, still friendly!
It can be seen that Goujian wants to sit on the wall against Chu State and Yuan State, and will not choose one side immediately, and at the same time, he will not choose one side easily.

The envoys of the Song Dynasty talked about a lot of things. While maintaining a good relationship, they should strengthen mutual communication.

About the formal alliance?The envoy of the State of Song vaguely mentioned that the timing was a bit wrong, and he really wanted the original country to continue to invade the State of Zheng, so that the two sides could carry out non-aligned cooperation against the State of Zheng.

The topics raised by the envoys of the State of Zheng are not complicated, and they are a series of follow-up questions about eliminating mutual hostility and exchanging fiefdoms.

If possible, Zheng Guo's envoy still wanted to get support from the original country, and Zheng Guo would continue to carry it with Song Guo.

the rest of the countries?Except for the state of Lu, which lost its old nest, the other small vassal states really have nothing to say.

The envoys of the Lu State did one thing when they were sent out, crying, except crying, just crying, begging the Yuan State to release the Lu State once.

Zhiyao, who had interviewed so many countries successively, did not feel tired at all. He called the Sangong Jiuqing and important officials from some departments that night and held a meeting overnight.

"The state of Chu and I are quite hostile." Han Geng recalled this one after listening to it.

Sending out envoys is a form of establishing diplomatic relations, but Chu State did not congratulate the establishment of Yuan State.This is the most obvious display of hostility.

The state of Chu did not do anything wrong, at least it did not question the founding of the Zhi family.

This is about referring to Zhiyao's later designation of the country as "Yuan".

If "Tang" is still used as the name of the country, Chu's questioning will be more legal. Even if the rest of the countries do not want to offend Zhiyao, they will more or less follow the "beep beep".

That "he who is strong in soldiers and horses is the emperor" is not the current mainstream, and the importance of order cannot be underestimated.

Zhi Xuwu said: "Mr. Chu is still bedridden. I heard that Qin doctor is also helpless?"

Chu Junzhang, who was blind in one eye, returned to the "Ying" capital alive, but suffered from illness for a long time.

If there is no medical technique to solve the pus, high fever from time to time cannot be eradicated. I don't know how long Chu Junzhang can survive.

Zhong Quan said: "Chu captives cannot be redeemed. If there is a war, these people will be the soldiers of the Northern Expedition. Let alone all these captives are useful."

In the past, the Zhi family was a family of the Jin State, and many prisoners of war were captured as slaves of their own family.

After waiting for Zhishi to turn his family into a country, slaves can actually be counted as Zhishi's property, but the boundary between private property and state-owned assets is not so clear.

The public clans in all countries are the same thing, and there is no special case in the Zhi clan.

Han Geng joined in and said, "The Chu captives were used to build canals, how can they return?"

Before Zhi's family turned into a country, the second five-year plan was only a matter for Zhi's family, and now the situation has changed.

First of all, the taxation of each family also has a time limit. Once the service period exceeds, it must be counting on the state to provide food and fodder.

The state of Jin is nothing more than the tyrannical rise of the noble family, which makes the line more and more blurred. Otherwise, the country needs to be the backing of each family at the beginning. If a certain family cannot produce so much food, the country should provide support. The lending business also came.

There is no high-ranking family in Yuanguo, many rules have been changed, and with the red line set by Zhiyao, each family has suffered in some aspects, should the Zhi family make up for it?

Of course, it is not that Zhiyao has fully launched the second five-year plan.

This time the "Second Five-Year Plan" was split up, and the new "Three-Year Plan" will be implemented this year. It is necessary to dig a main canal road from Jize to "Quliang", using prisoners of war from various countries.

The amount of food produced by the Zhi family is indeed linked to the strength of the country, and it has become a matter of concern to everyone.

"Mr. Chu may not be able to eat new wheat." Zhiyao said softly.

Everyone thought of a character, and then remembered the allusion of Jin Jinggong.

The pus from the wound was unstoppable, and the high fever was repeated again and again. It would be strange if there was no sepsis.

The medical skills of the current era are like that, even a small cold can kill, let alone sepsis?Absolutely dead!

Everyone's faces gradually became serious.

They had to look solemn, all because after the death of Chu Junzhang, Chu State would inevitably send troops to the north to take revenge.

Looking at the actions of Chu's new Lingyin, it is clear that he is preparing for war. A new round of war between Chu and Yuan may break out in the next moment.

Zhiyao said again: "The State of Yue frequently spies on the State of Ju, and may use troops to the State of Ju."

Han Geng asked: "The State of Yue attacked the State of Ju to avoid persecution from us and the State of Chu?"

That is actually the established strategic goal of the Yue Kingdom, and it is obvious that they want to continue to implement it, and Han Geng was right about the plan of the Yue Kingdom's monarch and ministers.

Some informants indicated that the Yue State restarted the construction of the city, and then started the construction of the Fucha Canal, which seemed to be preparing for the conquest of the Ju State. Could it be that Goujian also had the ambition to fight for hegemony?

Zhiyao thought that as long as the original army defeated the Chu army again, it might be able to seduce the Yue State to attack Chu State, otherwise once the canal was repaired, the Yue State would have more choices to make.

How to solve the matters mentioned by the envoys of other countries? Later, the former monarchs and ministers exchanged opinions and came up with a response plan.

If nothing goes wrong, then Xiayuan Country will have a lot of tough battles to fight, not all wars with real swords and guns, the confrontation on the diplomatic battlefield will be more intense.

"The State of Song is the most important thing." Sun Wu seldom expresses his opinions recently, and every time he mentions one thing is the key.

Zhiyao looked at Han Geng and said, "As an envoy, Situ is visiting 'Shangqiu'."

To be honest, Han Geng didn't want to go out to work at all.

The situation has changed too much, not only the Zhi family who turned the family into a country has a lot of things, but the Han family also has a lot of things that need to be dealt with urgently.

However, Han Geng didn't dare to refuse, and at the same time, he had no reason to refuse, and even wanted to show Zhiyao's gratitude for entrusting such important important matters.

No one mentioned the envoy of the State of Lu, but the request of the envoy of the State of Zheng was repeatedly discussed.

Zheng Guo wanted peace, and the former monarch and ministers decided to grant peace after discussion, but the means of doing things should not be so direct, and the desired benefits should not be less.

It's not entirely because the Yuan Kingdom's monarch and ministers are greedy, the main reason is to let Zheng Guo's monarch and ministers appreciate Yuan's sincerity for peace.

Isn't it one of the charms of diplomatic relations to blackmail and prove that you really want peace?
After the meeting, Zhiyao left Han Geng, Hu You, and Zhong Quan behind.

"If Lord Chu dies, Lord Xi will lead his army to the north, and the route to march will be Zhengdi." Zhiyao said.

Who is Xijun?It is Gongsun Ning, also known as Ziguo.

After serving as Lingyin of the Chu State, this person was different from Bai Gongsheng's toughness. He adopted a softening attitude towards the inside and came up with a new system.

Zhiyao used "Xijun" to refer to Ziguo, which is somewhat ironic, because Ziguo included many lands around the "Xi" land under its name.

Do you have the right to seek benefits for yourself in the first place?Ziguo really did that, which made the nobles of Chu State very happy. Some rebels who were stubbornly resisting, they changed their positions and wanted to be loyal ministers of Chu State, which seemed to relieve the internal crisis of Chu State at once.

Zhiyao made a request to Han Geng, Hu You, and Zhong Quan that they must hurry up and prepare for the war, thinking that the war will not only break out in the south, but the west and north must be guarded against.

"The monarchy system? It seems that the crisis facing Chu State has been resolved, but it can actually make Chu State explode this time. In fact, Ziguo has dug a grave for Chu State!"

That's for later.

Zhiyao understands that the outbreak of Chu State is the most important thing to pay attention to!
　I am moving recently, please forgive me.
