I am a nobleman in Spring and Autumn

"Father, the capture of Bashu is just a way to attack Chu State, is it..." Zhi Kai didn't know how to express his thoughts in a gentle way.

Zhiyao knew what Zhikai, who had been to Badi in person, was thinking.

what else?It must be a dislike of the local environment, and I don't understand what is the use of taking down that kind of mountainous terrain.

In fact, Zhiyao also felt that the biggest effect of taking down Bashu was to flank Chu State, and the rest, whether it was wood or medicinal materials, fur resources, or mineral resources in the mountains, unless there were species that were urgently needed in the original country, otherwise they would not be used at all. will be vigorously built.

Still the same sentence, transportation is really too difficult, it is better to just put it aside for development, and wait for the transportation to be convenient one day.

In fact, Badi can still be developed, but Shudi cannot really be developed.

Because the land of Shangyu in the original country has a relatively convenient traffic line to enter the east of Badi. Once a passage is opened in the valley, it can enter Bazhong without taking the inconvenient and dangerous road like the plank road.

It's just that the original country really doesn't need to care too much about the resources in Badi at the moment, as there are other places in Badi, and they don't need to work hard to open up new roads.

It is not a bad thing to take refuge for easy things, it will make things more difficult for yourself if something goes wrong, especially it will consume more manpower and material resources.

"The crown prince thinks capturing Bashu is a burden?" Zhiyao asked directly.

Zhi Kai was stunned for a moment, then nodded honestly.

This is the conclusion that Zhikai personally came to in Badi for three years. He said: "Baguo is different from other countries in the Central Plains. It's old and dead."

Zhiyao was delighted to hear it, and said: "That's the way it is, so we can attack it. If it is the same as the other countries in the Central Plains, why would my father send three 'divisions' to destroy Shu and then Pakistan?"

The strength of the three "divisions" is 2 soldiers. Due to the joy of the terrain over there, it is impossible to have too many auxiliary soldiers accompanying them.

In the war against Shu and Ba, the original country used no more than [-] people, which is really not a labor force.

Due to the constraints of the terrain, the area that Shu and Ba can effectively rule is quite limited, and more places are only a nominal surrender.

Under such circumstances, as long as the original army conquered their capital, it would actually mean the destruction of the country.

the rest?Yuan Guo promises that what happened before will remain the same in the future. Generally speaking, only the in-laws in Bashu will continue to resist, and the rest will just live their lives honestly.

This is how Qin State destroyed Bashu in history. After taking away the capital, the rest of the region implemented a policy of appeasement, and it took time to get the people of Bashu used to the rule of Qin State. As time went by, the local people really got used to it.

It seems that the situation in Bashu and Wuyue are two extremes. People in Wuyue and Yue have resisted for more than a hundred years since the fall of Guozuo. When it was Chu's turn to perish, they still stood on Chu's side and resisted the rule of Qin.

Now, the Wu people in Wu are rebelling against the country of Antigen, and the people of Yue in Yue are rebelling against the country of Chu. There is also small-scale but extremely frequent friction between the original army and the Chu army. After a few years, the two places do not know whether they will be able to stay. how many people.

"If you make a promise, you can rule, and if you make good friends with the leader, you can worry about the rest." Zhiyao intends to learn Qin's strategy of ruling Bashu.

Zhikai thought for a while, and showed a suddenly realized expression.

The state of Qin just gave the leaders of Bashu infatuation, and the wealth given to them can be recovered ten times and a hundred times from other people. Once there is a problem, the local leaders will use force to suppress it, which does not restrain much of Qin's national power at all.

Of course, the Qin State built water conservancy projects in many places in Bashu, which made Bashu also have better agricultural output.

In Zhiyao's generation, Yuanguo would not build water conservancy projects in Bashu anyway, and he also had no extravagant hope of obtaining products from Bashu. At most, he recruited some local people to form special mountain troops.

Zhiyao mentioned a few places, and then said: "It is important to set up a shipbuilding workshop here and control the upper reaches of the river. Once the waterway is normal, you can also log in Bashu and make it go down the river without using too much manpower."

There are not many towering trees in the Central Plains, but there are a lot of big trees in the Bashu area that need more than ten people or more to hold hands. Most of the dynasties and dynasties also obtained the wood for the construction of palaces from here, and they used it directly down the river. Duan set up interception and then fished ashore.

If the waterway permits, the shipbuilding workshops in each stronghold will also be completed. In fact, the nearby minerals can be excavated and sent out of Bashu by water.

However, that should be after Zhikai succeeded to the throne?

At night, the banquet held in Changle Palace went on as scheduled.

During the period, Zhiyao was of course seated at the throne, and His Majesty on the stage had the queen, prince, and concubine under the throne, and on both sides of His Majesty were the ministers with the congregation and some specially invited representatives.

In the past two years, no major wars broke out in the original country, and none of the country's important officials left the capital. They were arranged on the left side near the Taiwan Majesty, and on the opposite side were some subjugated kings or former important officials.

Located on the left and right sides of the middle section, they are officials at all levels and people with titles from the original country.

Then there are some older people, or as invited representatives of a certain profession.

They all have family members with them, and the area they belong to is in the back row of the seat.

There was music played at a slow pace, the main instrument was a set of chime bells, and the music was played.

Of course, this is not the palace where the big and small court meetings are held. The palace used to hold court meetings is in Jianzhang Palace, not Changle Palace.

Changle Palace is the living area of ​​the members of the royal family, and under normal circumstances outsiders cannot enter at all.

"Everyone!" Zhikai stood up under Zhiyao's signal.

Those who were talking in low voices all stopped and looked at Zhikai standing up in unison, waiting to speak.

Zhikai has long been used to being stared at, and without any stage fright, he introduces his trip to Badi slowly.

Of course, I won’t talk about all those bad senses, nor can I not mention them at all. I mainly focus on introducing the mountains, rivers, geography and customs of Badi.

Those words were mainly for the ministers to let them know more about Badi.

Zhikai will also tell some interesting things, even if it is not so funny, everyone will still smile for face.

"Is it true that the prince was awakened by a snake in his sleep?" Fen Ying asked Zhiyao.

Regarding this matter, Zhiyao knew a little bit about it, and said: "The local snakes are raised to prevent rats, they are not poisonous, and they don't attack people."

Fenying's reaction to hearing it for the first time was similar to that of Zhikai at that time. When he thought of having that long and scaly thing living at home, even a little imagination would make his hair stand on end, and he felt completely unacceptable.

The truth is that even Zhiyao can't accept it.

Are there any cats in Zhuxia? "The Book of Songs. Daya. Han Yi" has two sentences, "There are bears and cats, and there are cats and tigers". From this point of view, there are cats.

However, the local cats in Zhuxia are not pets, and they cannot be domesticated.

It is said that cats were introduced from Persia or Cochin, which refers to the type that can be domesticated. Among them, Persian cats have no predation skills except for pawing, but Cochin cats are very good at catching mice.

At present, the people of Zhuxia do not have the habit of keeping pets, from the king of a country to ordinary Li Shu.People still have to worry about filling their stomachs, what kind of pets do they keep?If the king of a country takes the lead, his literacy will not allow him, and he will be easily criticized again.

In other civilizations, it is more common to keep pets. It is not because they have enough food. Europa is purely idle, while in Central Asia and West Asia, the dignitaries are too rich.The same thing is that they hardly care about public opinion.

The trend of keeping pets appeared in Zhuxia was probably in the Tang Dynasty, but the pets were quite common, and keeping ferocious beasts was also kept in captivity, unlike other civilizations that would raise some ferocious beasts and live with them.

Zhikai was still introducing Badi's experience, and the people below seemed to be listening carefully, but I don't know how many people actually listened.

Badi is too far away from them, and most of them will never go there once in their lifetime. They hear that there are mountains everywhere, how precipitous they are, and they don’t even want to go.

"Your Majesty only uses the soldiers of the three 'divisions', and it is really inconvenient to come to the local area." Sun Wu's teeth were about to fall out, and he could only eat some liquid food, which was specially prepared for the banquet.

Sima Rangju was sitting next to Sun Wu. Seeing the old man still in good spirits at such an age, he imagined what he would be like at that age, and reminded himself not to become a chatterbox.

They all knew the purpose of Yuan Guo's capture of Bashu, and from the bottom of their hearts, they agreed that a surprise army would go down the river to attack the hinterland of Chu State, which would make the other routes go more smoothly.

"Your Majesty Juntian has encountered a lot of opposition, what do you think?" Sun Wu asked.

Banquets are not just about eating and drinking, but because of the Zhuxia banquet mode, it is difficult for people to have the opportunity to communicate casually, and they can only talk in low voices with similar people.

Sima Rangju was one of the high-level people who agreed with Juntian. He didn't believe that Sun Wu didn't understand what it meant, and said: "It is inevitable to have criticisms. It is beneficial for generations to come. Some criticisms are just for oneself."

At present, there is no such thing as sacrificing oneself for others. As a nobleman, one should take care of one’s own family first, and as a husband, one should take care of one’s family. Everyone lives for themselves and their relatives. Enlisting in the army is to seek rewards, not simply dedication.

So, what Sima Rangju said, Sun Wu can understand and understand, like many people, he may not agree.

"Grandson, let's see that the population will increase in ten years, it must be several times that of today!" Sima Rangju didn't hear these from Zhiyao, he can guess and analyze.

Sima Rangju continued with some enthusiasm: "If the population is sufficient, Dayuan will sweep the Loufan, Linhu, and Donghu tribes, and make them all belong to the territory of Dayuan. There will be no shortage of places for Li and Shu to live in."

Sun Wu nodded, but said: "I'm afraid I won't be able to see it."

How can we continue talking today?
However, Sun Wu knew far more than Sima Rangju because of the relationship between the "two palaces" offering wine.

The theory of "Great Unification" spread outward from the "Wen Gong", and then some people went to other countries to debate, so that the concept of "One World" was known to many people.

The rapid expansion of the original country and the faster re-stabilization of conquered areas are inseparable from the spread of ideas.

Those who have enjoyed the sweetness only need to continue to guide public opinion, first as a topic for the teachers and students of "Wen Gong" to perfect, and then get it to "Qufu", a city for debate, to spread it, and soon everyone who wants to know will basically know .

Sun Wu also knew one thing that Sima Rangju didn't know, that is, Zhiyao intends to expand the official school, first to ensure that there must be a government school in Jindi and Gyeonggi, and then to prepare for it in various places, and it will be implemented when the time comes.

How do teachers come from?Zhiyao's solution is that if he wants to become an official, he must first go to a rural school in a certain place to become a teacher, and only after having this experience can he enter the officialdom.

Zhiyao also knows the hidden dangers in it. Some people are very likely to use the teacher-student relationship to form a party, but can't form a party without a teacher-student relationship?It is useless to have relevant concerns. Those who should form a party, even if they have never had any communication, can form a party out of interest.

His Majesty's Zhikai has finished speaking, and everyone is invited to drink with him.

You don't need to stand up, you just need to straighten your waist in place, make a gesture of tribute, and drink your own goblet of wine.

The music began to become brisk, and a group of dancers who had been prepared for a long time also entered the venue and began to dance with the rhythm of the music.

There are many animal movements in Zhuxia's court dance, especially birds. When dancing, they will make those postures and their bodies will pause from time to time.

Because of the clothes, the dance is not only beautiful, but also can show the beauty of the female body by using the "stuck" posture.

It’s also the times that have changed. Before there was brisk music in Miyagi, and there were dancers waving their hands, maybe someone would jump out and yell comments such as “The Voice of Decadence” and “Dance of the Subjugated Country”.

There are really similar things, for example, a time when the king of the state of Wei kindly entertained a guest named Shi Kuang from the state of Jin, and got the evaluation above.

However, the State of Wei in the original history did not perish as early as Shi Kuang predicted, and even after all the powerful countries perished, the State of Wei was destroyed at the end of Qin Dynasty.

People who grew up in the militaristic environment don’t really know how to enjoy themselves too much. Those who were born in Jin did not listen to music or watch dances at all, but chatted with the nearby people in low voices.

Those who were merged into the original country later, they know how to appreciate art.

Song De was also at the banquet. He looked at his younger sister who was sitting on the majesty. Every time he saw his younger sister interacting with the prince, he would smile from the bottom of his heart.

Who is this Song De?He is the last king of subjugation, and now an earl of the original country.

Some people from the original Song Kingdom, including Song De, are now most gratified that Princess Mizi's status is stable, and they are looking forward to when they will be able to conceive and give birth to a baby boy.

The baby boy born to Mizi will be the eldest son, and no accident, he will be the future prince and the lord of the original country, which means that the people who will rule this huge country in the future have half the blood of the Song Dynasty.

The position where Zhiyao sits is very particular, as if the teacher in the classroom can see any movement of all the students.

"Generally it's okay..." Zhiyao could see everyone's reaction at the banquet.
