I am a nobleman in Spring and Autumn

Yuanguo can't only pull out an army of 70. With the information in Zhiyao's hands, if the country's extreme mobilization is carried out, at least about 110 million soldiers can be mobilized.

However, once the state of extreme mobilization is reached, there is no extravagant hope for the quality of soldiers.

Zhiyao once wanted to follow the "elite line" plan. At the beginning, the standing army, and later the Huben Army and the Habayashi Army with special designations, basically followed the line of excellence. Later, it was discovered that a country needs elites, but the pursuit of numbers is obviously more important. Appropriate for the current era.

The land of Zhuxia is like that, nothing remains static, and adjustments are made as needed.

The country’s need for the army is also the same. The Spring and Autumn Period is actually an elite line. Those who can participate in the war are limited to nobles, "scholars", and "disciples". Later, a "Xian" was added.

It was not until the late Spring and Autumn Period that the various countries gradually relaxed their selection of military sources, and the number of troops dispatched became larger and larger.

Entering the early days of the Warring States Period, the states were still pursuing elites and pursuing numbers in parallel, and the most representative ones were Wei and Qin.

Wei Guo, who took the elite route, defeated Qin Guo's pursuit of 50 troops with [-] Wei soldiers, causing the existing princes to see the benefits of elitism and follow suit.

During that period of time, Qi State was playing with fighters, Zhao State strengthened the number of side riders, South Korea also started to play Han Xinzuo, and Chu State trained powerful soldiers. There was no movement in the country of Yan.

The subsequent situation shows that the elite route is not easy to follow. The pursuit of quantity has become a consensus.

Zhiyao has seen Goujian's madness under the dying struggle, and can predict that Chu State will also make the same option.

A series of information shows some signs. The princes and local fiefdoms of Chu State are desperately expanding their army, and they are cramming to train farmers and slaves. It is clear that if there is a war, an extremely large number of troops will be dispatched.

Based on Chu's population base and their population density, it is very possible to pull out an army of 50 million to fight Yuan.

In this reality, it is not impossible for Zhiyao to continue to follow the elite route. For example, following the example of Wei in the original history, using a small number of elites to defeat the mob drawn by Chu. The real problem is that what Zhiyao wants is not to carry out a war of deterrence. It was rushing to destroy Chu State.

At that time, after the frontal battle, the original army won the victory or continued to invade Chu State. Every time it conquered a place, it needed to leave troops to garrison.

The territory of the Chu State is too large, and thousands of cities are left in one city, and tens of thousands in a hundred cities, not to mention that there are more villages and some strategic places that need to leave troops.

"My lord, the crown prince has arrived at the city gate and is entering the city."

"understood."

Three years after Zhikai left, he could be considered to have returned to his original country, and he had already returned to the capital.

The original country has sent troops to Shu, Zhikai didn't want to go back to the country, but his mother wrote letters to urge him again and again.

It is outrageous for the prince of a country to leave the center of political power for three years, let alone leave the country?
Zhiyao knew that if she didn't call Zhikai back, something would happen if nothing happened, and it was hard to predict what would happen when she invaded Shu. If she didn't want to replace the prince, why couldn't she take risks.

Zhikai, who returned to his original country, feels like he has been away for more than three years when he enters the country, and everything he sees feels fresh.

It may also be a relationship that has been away for too long, and Zhikai has obviously discovered a lot of new things.

Just after the farming was over, the young and strong from all over the country were gathered for drills, making the places where people lived in the original country look like barracks, and the whole country is like a big barracks.

The previous state of Jin was a country of military fruitism, and there were actually not so many disturbances.

When Zhiyao made revisions to the national policy, especially in recent years, Yuanguo was what a militaristic country should look like.

Zhikai, who knows a lot of things, is too clear about what changes in the country mean, and guesses that the battle to destroy Chu is likely to happen within a year or two.

Going back to the capital and entering it again, Zhikai found that the number of people in the city had increased a lot, unlike the one at the beginning when it was built without fireworks.

Of course, because "Zhongjing" is not a commercial capital, there are actually not too lively places, but there are more people on the streets.

Zhikai sat in the car and greedily looked at everything in the capital. He hadn't seen this kind of scene for three years, and felt that he couldn't get enough of it.

It's just that Zhikai can see the unusual temperament of some people on the street, but their clothes seem to be inconsistent with their temperament.

how to say?A person obviously has a high-ranking demeanor, but he wears very ordinary clothes, which will inevitably make people feel strange or curious.

"These are people who migrated from different places, and the second and third sons are wealthy families in the local area." Cheng Shuo saw Zhi Kai's doubts and gave an answer.

People who can live a good life now are either nobles, or their ancestors were nobles. They can use that level of status to obtain a lot of privileges. With so many conveniences, they will have a better way to get rich than ordinary people.

Zhikai understood immediately.

The expansion of the original country was too fast, and the rules of the Spring and Autumn Period were also emphasized before, and some local nobles could stay in the area and continue to live.

Even if these nobles lost their noble status because of the country's collapse, they still have much more resources than ordinary people, and because ordinary people are really afraid of them, they can still continue to dominate the local area.

Zhiyao has some time to do what he wants to do, and more preparations to spread out. Don't be too afraid of what will happen once certain policies are implemented. Even if problems arise, they can be resolved quickly. Naturally, those who are still dominating the local people migrated to the capital city.

In modern times, living in the capital city is an amazing thing, and the benefits you can enjoy far exceed those in other administrative regions.

However, in the era of feudal dynasties, living in the capital was tantamount to being subject to stricter monitoring. If you wanted to do something, if something leaked, you would be hit hard immediately.

Therefore, at the beginning, Liu Bang used the reason of building his father's hometown to move the old nobles and powerful people from all over the place; later, the little pig emperor followed suit, and even came up with the policy of "guarding the mausoleum" to target those places Powerful.

History has proved that the method of the Western Han Dynasty is very effective, and Zhiyao has no reason not to learn from it.

Therefore, most of the people currently living in "Zhongjing" are definitely not voluntary, but the situation is stronger than others.

It's just that the first generation may have resentment, and after a few generations, the younger generation will have to thank the eight generations of ancestors for being able to have a place to live in the capital, and they are full of pride for it.

In fact, as the capital of the original country, as long as they don't want to mess around in "Zhongjing", with their original wealth, they can sell their property when they migrate. In terms of their savings, they can live a very comfortable life.

reason?After all, as a capital city, there will never be any shortage of materials.

What they need to consider is to quickly find new means of earning a living, otherwise, after their savings are exhausted, life will definitely be difficult.

Zhiyao just wanted to get rid of more hidden dangers in the local area, not to drive them to death, and the restrictions were within the scope not allowed by the law, and the rest did not discriminate.

If the relocated people are smart enough, they should find new means of earning a living, such as actively responding to the call, or investing in business while the capital is full of businesses.

"Nobles across the country are also migrating to the capital. A tile falling from the capital may hit many nobles in the future." Cheng Shuo didn't quite understand why Zhiyao adopted such a policy, and he didn't object at all, he just thought it was interesting.

In the past, except for a small number of big dignitaries, small nobles were not eligible to live in the capital at all.

According to tradition, the capital is the private property of the king of a country, and all the land in it belongs to the king. Only with the special permission of the king can the rest of the people have a place to live.

Because of such a tradition, Zhiyao opened up the capital city, but did not actually force the nobles. They were very enthusiastic when they knew that they could build a mansion in the capital city after applying, so that Zhiyao needed to come up with a knighthood in order to get a lot of money in the city. Territory restrictions.

"Zhongjing" occupies a very large area, but no matter how large it is, planning must be considered. Once this noble occupies tens of acres, and that noble occupies nearly a hundred acres, how much space is there for the rest?

Furthermore, the current planning of the city has its rules, which direction is what area, what is the purpose, etc., which are basically fixed things.

The dignitaries are generally concentrated in the south of the city, the east and west of the city are used as commercial areas, the north of the city is the area where ordinary people live, and Miyagi is located in the center.

The initial plan may be like that, but as the national power allows, the monarchs of the past dynasties will not be satisfied with the scope of the existing palace city, and will generally build other palace complexes near the capital, and the capital city will inevitably follow the new palace. was built, and new adjustments were made.

It is not the first time for Zhikai to see Miyagi located in "Zhongjing". Seeing the height of 21 meters including the tower, I still deeply feel what is magnificence.

There is a square in front of each gate of Miyagi, which can accommodate up to 3 people.

There are pillars in any square, they are the landmarks of the avenue, and there are one standing on both sides every ten meters or so, and the height should reach seven or eight meters.

There are carvings of phoenix and phoenix on the column. It looks like two phoenixes are raised high, their bodies and tail wings are intertwined and loaded on the column.

Since the Xia Dynasty, most of the national totems will choose birds, usually the mysterious birds, red birds, phoenixes or phoenixes in fantasy.

That's right, Feng is a male bird, Huang is a female bird, there must be two.It's just that people in later generations generally read it together.

Before Zhikai left, the square hadn’t been officially completed yet. As he walked, he looked at the avenue and the pillars, and thought: “Is this the cement my father said?”

Yes, the roads and columns on the square are made of cement, and the inner cores of the invisible columns are wrapped with iron bars, and the roads are made of bamboo hypothetical framework.

Bamboo can actually replace metal tendons?In modern times, bamboo frames are used in many places, and then concrete is poured to build houses.

What happens to the quality of the bamboo used?As long as the floor is not built too high, and the load-bearing capacity is not too exaggerated, in fact, the safety problem is not big, and it can be used for about 30 years.

At present, there are no large trucks with a load of tens of tons that repeatedly roll over the road, and there will naturally be no problems if the bamboo frame is refilled with concrete to pave the road.

So, is the city wall made of cement?Some parts are used, but the main structure is still rammed earth.

As long as the rammed earth is not sloppy, the quality is really sufficient. If there is no artificial damage, some rammed earth walls have existed for an astonishing 2000 years.

Zhiyao made the cement, but it was only a technical problem, and the output has been limited.

In addition, the city wall is not only used for a hundred years. If the original country's Guozuo can survive, it is generally impossible to tear down the city wall and rebuild it. The rammed earth-based city wall is the most suitable.

The limitation is that the height of the city wall needs to reach 13 meters, and the original country does not have so much steel to squander, and the hidden dangers brought by the use of pig iron-grade metal are too great.

If the original country needs to step up the construction of a permanent level of defense, Zhiyao will use cement on a large scale. As for steel, don't think about it, at most it will use pig iron.

Use cement to build a house or something?Don't say that Zhiyao doesn't want to promote it, and people won't accept it.

Instead, cement can be used to pave the road, and bamboo can be used as the frame. The concrete is not too bad, and the wear and tear will only be on the surface, and the overall cracking will not occur.

Zhikai entered Miyagi, and subconsciously compared the palace of Yuan Kingdom with that of Ba Kingdom.

The capital of Ba is very small, and there are no decent buildings in Miyagi. In fact, there is no comparison at all.

The capital of the original country is infinitely close to that of the Western Han Dynasty. After Xiao He re-supervised the construction of the palace city, the buildings will even look more magnificent.

The palaces of the Han Dynasty were mainly in three colors: grey, white and black.

The palaces of the original country are mainly red, black and gray.The tiles are made of red tiles, most of the walls are gray, and many places have black seals.

When Zhikai saw Zhiyao, his eyes turned sore uncontrollably, he knelt down and saluted, and greeted him, "Father, my son is back."

Zhiyao: "..."

It's only been three years since I left, so what?

It was that Zhikai’s life in Badi was very difficult, and he saw too many strange things, especially the experience of being woken up by a snake in his sleep was the most impressive.

Family affection will make people more sensitive after reunion after a long absence. Is it true that the emotional fluctuations will be greater?
What Zhiyao could say was: "It's good to be back."

Zhi Kai quickly controlled his emotions, and said: "I will go to find my mother first, and then I will pay my respects."

Zhiyao nodded.

Fen Ying hoped for the stars and the moon before bringing Zhikai back. Presumably, mother and son have a lot to say?

As a male, Zhiyao's emotional expression will definitely be more subtle, so you can listen to Zhikai's talk about Badi's experience later.

In addition, when the prince returns to the capital, it is inevitable to have a big banquet, which is not only a cleansing for the prince, but also a kind of announcement.

Hope it will perform well by then.
