I am a nobleman in Spring and Autumn

Chapter 461 Change of Times ([-])
Zhiyao likes to use people's power very much, but she also restrains the large-scale use of people's power.

For example, once a war breaks out, large-scale projects will be stopped immediately, and we will never start a war while mobilizing a large number of people to continue the project.

The second five-year plan was broken up, and the first three-year plan is almost complete.

This three-year plan is to dig a canal from Jize, as the main road of a huge project, leading to the vicinity of "Handan".

With a main canal road, the second three-year plan is to build up to 32 secondary arterial roads to form an irrigation area covering more than 200 square miles.

It is obviously a split of the five-year plan, how can it be completed in six years?That's because the amount of labor employed is different.

In the later construction of water conservancy projects, prisoners of war and prisoners were used instead of Li and Shu from various places as laborers.

"So, the start of the capital will be four years later?" Sun Wu felt that he might not be able to wait for that day.

Zhiyao looked at Sun Wu, who was obviously old, and said, "Let's see how the battle progresses."

This time, Sun Wu was caught in the wind and cold when he went south. Fortunately, he still had the foundation to keep exercising.

The site selected as the construction area of ​​the capital city will first build the Palace of Literature and the Palace of Martial Arts. Of course, Zhiyao is the head of the two palaces, and the first candidate for offering wine to the Palace of Martial Arts is Sun Wu.

The head of the mountain is the principal, and the learning place is not necessarily built on the mountain.

Jijiu can be regarded as an actual manager and also serves as the chief teacher.

It's the winter of the year again.

The monarchs and ministers of the Chu State took the initiative to enter "Xinzheng" and were besieged, and because the original army of Chu State entered the mainland to wreak havoc, as a result, the State of Chu did not gather a new army to go north to rescue for a long time.

Han Geng and Sun Wu led an army to invade the territory of Chu. The starting point of the invasion was "Wanqiu". Afterwards, they went around Hanshui for a long time and once threatened the capital of Chu State "Ying". Zheng Guo.

Their invasion didn't take too long, less than five months, and they conquered not many cities, but they destroyed one village after another with a destructive mentality along the way, driving the locals to flee in all directions.

Because they invaded in autumn, they destroyed the autumn harvest of the Chu people in the exhibition area, and the scope of the sweep was a bit wide. Chu's harvest this year was reduced by about [-]%, and it was unknown how much impact it would have on Chu.

At present, the essence of Chu State is the Han River Basin, and most of their cities are concentrated in this area.

Oe?The state of Chu has just seized a piece of territory from Yang Yue, otherwise there was not much territory south of the great river before.

Yang Yue can be regarded as a semi-civilized tribal alliance. They are still in an extremely primitive social civilization and have hardly developed anything.

The land that Chu snatched from Yang Yue has not had time to develop, which means that even if it controls a lot of land south of the river, it is actually just control and may not produce much output.

The triangular region with the most fertile land in the Dajiang River Basin was previously controlled by the State of Wu, but now it is in the hands of the State of Yue, not the State of Chu.

In addition, the Dajiang Delta region is still a barren land. If you want to say anything, there are trees at most. If you want to develop agriculture, you must at least clear the forest first.

Therefore, the Zhuxia area may be a grain-producing area in later generations, but it was a barren land during the Warring States Period. It only proves that the land of fish and rice was built with the painstaking efforts of ancestors, and it was not God's face.

The Han River Basin in Chu State was attacked this year?As long as the monarchs and ministers of the Chu State are still trapped in the "Xinzheng" city, the original army will continue to move south during the spring sowing next year, with the goal of destroying the production of the Chu State.

The candidates for the original leader of the army who will invade Chu again have been confirmed. Hu Jie will once again lead the army to invade the front line of Hanshui, and Gao Qiang, who was originally a general of the Fan family, will be his deputy.

Therefore, the original army that will invade Chu State next year will be dominated by cavalry, and the number of troops will be about [-], of which cavalry will account for [-], and will not carry auxiliary troops.

"The great general is also old." Sun Wu said.

Zhiyao nodded.

Hu Jie is indeed getting old, no accidents, next year's expedition will be the last time, whether he can return home alive, the military of the Hu family will be taken over by Hu You.

At the same time, Zhong Quan had passed away in the first ten days of winter, and Zhong Wu became the master of the Zhong family.

The reason why Zhiyao did not stay in the "Xinzheng" battlefield was to return to China to attend Zhong Quan's funeral, and to witness Zhong Wu's succession as the master of the Zhong family. To some extent, he also endorsed Zhong Wu.

The Zhong family was originally pieced together from the eight Jin clans, and there was no platform from Zhiyao. There must be twists and turns in Zhong Wu's succession as the master of the Zhong family.

The original country can't be in chaos now, so the scene where Zhiyao gave Zhong Wu the platform appeared, which is also an individual example that happened under very special circumstances. Otherwise, the king of a country would not need to do this, and the family facing the handover of power would not allow power Handover is interfered with.

Generally speaking, what happened to the Zhong family may not necessarily be a new situation in the new era, and it is very likely that it will become a custom in the original country.

What convention?It means that a certain family confirms that the new head of the family needs to be approved by the monarch.

"From now on, the old man will die of old age here?" Sun Wu asked very freely.

Seeing the free and easy appearance, Zhiyao was even happy to see Sun Wu who died in an education position, and she only felt admiration in her heart.

There is a great horror between life and death, and it is extraordinary that ordinary people can remain free and easy!
The location they were in was the area of ​​the selected capital city. The Wen Palace and the Wu Palace started construction at the same time, and it took more than two months to tamp the foundation.

Now building a building is not digging a foundation, but actually building a platform.

Platform building is required to increase the terrain to avoid flooding due to rain or floods.

The foundations are compacted first, then the beams are erected, then the roof is erected, and finally the walls are built.

The person in charge of supervising the construction of the Palace of Literature and the Palace of Martial Arts was Gongshuban, and he assured with confidence that the Palace of Literature and the Palace of Martial Arts would be completed within a year.

The Palace of Literature and the Palace of Martial Arts are not just two buildings, they include two halls for academic discussions, accommodation for students to rest, a church for teaching, and a school field for exercise, etc. .

Looking at it this way, the Palace of Literature and the Palace of Martial Arts can actually be regarded as a group of palaces covering an area of ​​about [-] square miles. In modern terms, they are like university towns.

The labor force in Gongshuban's hands is only [-], and it can be guaranteed to be completed within a year. It must have been carefully calculated and planned in advance, and has a very good management team.

"Your Majesty, are these the first batch of students?" Sun Wu asked, looking at the people who were still sweating profusely from working in the cold weather.

Now the boundaries between civil and military are not so clear. To be able to hold an official position, the prerequisite is that the physical fitness should not be too weak.

Zhiyao was also looking at the group of people, and could recognize some of them, and ordered Yu Rang: "Call Guan Fu and Tang Xiu here."

Yu Rang saluted and responded, "No!"

Sun Wu said: "Yurang is not a good general."

Yes, Yurang was really not suitable for leading troops, so Zhiyao was transferred back from the local army to serve as Lang Guanling.

Sun Wu said again: "Your Majesty, you don't want him to restore the Bi clan?"

Zhiyao shook her head and said, "The Yu family is the Yu family. Since the Wei family is dead, why should the Bi family be re-established?"

The continuation of life and death also depends on the time and the object, right?

The Zhi clan successively annexed the Wei state and the Qi state, which indeed left behind blood, and allocated two cities to continue to provide blood food for the ancestors.

The demise of the Wei family will happen sooner or later, especially because Chu State is at a disadvantage in the confrontation due to various stupid tricks, which will make the Yuan country draw out more troops to encircle and suppress the remnants of the Wei family. Why does Zhiyao deliberately leave a tail to ask for trouble?
In the final analysis, whether the Wei family died in the civil war, or the Zhi family used means to eliminate it, it is not bad to not try to cut the weeds.

Sun Wu persuaded: "Replacing the Zhou family is an innovation, and the ancient rituals that should be preserved should be preserved."

Of course Zhiyao understands this.

"There is no need to keep the Wei family. Besides, I asked Yu Rang, but he had no such intention." Zhiyao said.

Sun Wu didn't continue to persuade.

After a while, Guan Fu and Tang Xiu were brought over, and they saluted Zhiyao excitedly.

It is not by accident that Zhiyao can remember these two people.

Guan Fu, who was born in Qi, was the first person appointed to serve as the village chief to achieve success, and he gave Zhiyao a foundation to remember; then, not long ago, Guan Fu went to serve in Ludi, and caught the bandit leader without loss. More than 1000 people were persuaded to surrender, and they were highly recommended by their superiors.

Capable and lucky?Zhiyao is still willing to give this kind of people more opportunities.

Tang Xiu was from Nanyan, and was a mixed blood of Zhu Xia and Di people.He has made many contributions in resolving the area ruled by the Yuan State where the Rong people are the majority. Looking at his resume, it can be seen that he is firmly on the side of Zhu Xia. Considering that the Yuan State will definitely expand northward in the future, he can use mixed blood and firm stand It is obviously a good choice to cultivate and reserve talents in advance.

When they got close, Zhiyao could see the mist above their heads.

The weather was so cold that it was foggy to speak, while Guan Fu and Tang Xiu's body temperature had risen after labor. I don't know if the fog above their heads was due to being too excited?

Zhiyao didn't deliberately show a kind side, and of course she didn't put on a tiger's face and casually asked about the past and present situation of the two of them.

In fact, that's right!
Kindness from high-ranking people is extremely expensive, and because the status gap is too great, showing kindness instead can be intimidating.

Guan Fu was still in a dizzy state until he left, and Tang Xiu was not much better either.

"Why did your majesty summon the two of you?"

As people who are also qualified for advanced studies, they knew that they shouldn't ask, and they couldn't help being too envious.

In the end, Guan Fu and Tang Xiu only had silly expressions on their faces.

Classmates are not angry.

They know very well that it will be difficult to become normal for a while if they have that kind of treatment.

Guan Fu was not only a little too slow, but he came back to his senses before answering: "Your Majesty just asked about our life, career history, and aspirations."

Speaking of this, Tang Xiu had regret and annoyance on his face.

When asked about his ambition just now, Tang Xiu replied that he wanted to be rich and full of wealth. Seeing the monarch couldn't help laughing, he also smirked.

Who doesn't want to be rich?Just answering the monarch like that, seems a bit silly?
Tang Xiu thought to himself: "Am I finished in the future?"

For the same problem, with Tang Xiu at the front, Guan Fu had enough time to think.Guan Fu's answer is to serve the monarch, which seems very hypocritical, but it sounds like a standard answer.

A group of students really did not expect to see the monarch here, and some of them were summoned by the monarch. They had to start looking forward to it and thinking about how to respond once they were summoned by the monarch.

In the past, there were many people who thought they were here to learn, not to work hard. Because of the appearance of the monarch, with the examples of Guan Fu and Tang Xiu, all complaints disappeared completely. I believe they will become more hardworking in the future. .

They should be angry.

how to say?

Among them, there are many people who were "scholars" or officials before, but because the mother country was annexed, and the original country did not recognize the titles of other countries, they needed to fight again.I have resentment myself, I just want to get ahead again and hide it, but I really didn't expect to work like a farmer or slave.

As for those who were nothing before, they feel that they have become masters now, and they will inevitably think of their past experiences when working, and they will be even more repelled to participate in similar labor.

No kidding, the background of the times is the same thing, some people can do farm work for themselves because of their status, but it is impossible to participate in engineering labor.

Because of Zhiyao's actions, things changed all of a sudden, but I don't know if Zhiyao realized their reluctance and did so.

"The master's art of controlling the subordinates is becoming more and more perfect." Sun Wu is also old, and he has less worries about speaking.

Zhiyao just smiled and didn't speak.

No one is a born leader, and they have not figured it out bit by bit.

"Where is Ming now?" Zhiyao asked rather abruptly.

Sun Ming is the second son of Sun Wu.

Sun Wu's eldest son, Sun Chi, died for his country in the "Battle of Baiju".

"Should it be 'warm'?" Sun Wu didn't seem so sure.

It is also strange to say that Sun Wu's military talents needless to say, but the three sons were all mediocre in the end.

The eldest son, Sun Chi, died early in battle.

The second son, Sun Ming, because of Sun Wu's relationship, as long as he has the ability, he will not lack the stage to perform, and Zhiyao has given the opportunity more than once. For a long time, either his performance is mediocre, or there will be relatively large omissions, causing outbreaks in many places During the war, due to the extreme lack of commanders and schools, he got a position in the "warm" area to transfer food and fodder.

The youngest son, Sun Di, did not become an official at all, and later returned to Qidi to be in charge of some sacrificial matters.

Zhiyao said: "Why don't you bring Ming Ming?"

Because Sun Chi has no heirs, Sun Wu's family business will be inherited by Sun Ming.

With a father like Sun Wu, Zhiyao has to give Sun Ming, who is the successor, a good future, otherwise others should say that Zhiyao treats heroes harshly.

Sun Wu looked a little grateful, and more of a panic, and said anxiously: "My lord, the descendants of my ministers are mediocre. Just inherit the title and family business, and absolutely cannot be reused!"

Zhiyao looked at Sun Wu in surprise, and said, "How can this be?"

Sun Wu said: "What you do is a revolution. Those who are capable work harder, and those who are incompetent can enjoy wealth and honor. Don't let them harm one party."

What is Dingge is to get rid of the rules that are considered inappropriate.

However, Sun Wu really dared to say anything because of his age!
