Rebirth of Wu Ba Spring and Autumn

Chapter 408 Tang Kingdom, a Kingdom Within a Kingdom

After some discussions with the ministers, Qingji formulated a relatively complete "Tian Law".

For example, in spring and February, Chinese people are not allowed to go to the mountains and forests to cut wood, not to block waterways, and not to burn grass as fertilizer until summer, not to pick newly sprouted plants, or to catch young animals and eggs, and not to... Kill fish and turtles with poison.

It is forbidden to set up traps and traps for catching birds and beasts, and the ban will not be lifted until July.

Only those who need to cut wood to make coffins due to death are not subject to seasonal restrictions.

Those who live near Zao and other forbidden gardens are not allowed to take dogs to hunt when the cubs are breeding.

People's dogs are not allowed to be killed if they enter the forbidden garden or catch animals; if they chase animals or catch animals, they must be killed.

Dogs killed in specially set up warning areas must be handed over to the government in their entirety, while those killed in other forbidden areas can eat the dog meat and hand over the dog skin.

The grass (grass for livestock) and stalks (stems of cereal plants) payable for each hectare of field shall be paid according to the number of fields received.

Regardless of whether it is cultivated or not, three stones of grass and two stones of rice are paid per hectare, and more than enough bundles of dry leaves and grass are collected. When paying, they can be transported for weighing.

Grain and straw bedding of wood removed from the grass should be immediately reported to the county court on the number of grain, grass and stones. The wood and grass bedding should not be used for other purposes, but should be used to cover grain and grass.

Feed for driving cattle and horses, if it has not been received or sent within two months after the expiration date, will not be received or distributed.

For those who receive from Datian without setting up a fixed account, they will be issued according to the date when they receive the voucher, which shall not exceed the provisions of the voucher.

This "Tian Law" of Wu State is not perfect!

Its content mainly involves several aspects such as farmland water conservancy and forest protection.

It is stipulated that the beneficial area of ​​farmland after the rainfall, the situation of crops suffering from natural disasters such as wind, insects, floods and droughts should be reported in time, and it is not allowed to cut down forests arbitrarily...

This is a written code of environmental protection, promulgated and implemented more than [-] years earlier than the West!

……

While Wu State continued to maintain the momentum of peaceful development, Chu State in the west was preparing its troops to launch an offensive against Zheng State.

At this time, in the Zide Palace, Qingji, who had nothing to do, was sitting opposite the Zhisu neishi Fan Li.

Play chess, go.

Qingji, this stinky chess basket, has a big addiction to vegetables, and loves to play.

Although he can't beat Fan Li in Go, Qing Ji still enjoys it.

Compared with Bo Tong, Wu Zixu and others who often let him play chess, Qing Ji prefers to "seek abuse" with Fan Li.

"Don't play, don't play."

Seeing that all his pieces on the chessboard were dead, Qing Ji said that he lacked interest.

"Your Majesty, accept, accept."

Fan Li smiled slightly.

"Uncle Shao, no one can beat you in Go, but there is a kind of chess that you can never beat the few people."

"What kind of chess?"

Fan Li was a little surprised.

"Slippery!"

Qing Ji beckoned, waiting for Gu Hua at the entrance of the hall, he quickly brought a chess board and a bunch of round chess pieces.

On the chessboard, it is divided into "Chuhe" and "Wujie", with black characters on one side and red characters on the other side, which are very distinct. Words such as "handsome", "cannon" and "car" are engraved on the chess pieces.

"Xiangqi (pronounced Tongqi) from the state of Chu?" Fan Li misunderstood.

Xiangqi, as Fan Li said, is a board game popular in the south.

It is said that it is the prototype of chess, with six black and white pieces each, and it is also played by two people.

Because Xiangqi was most popular in Chu State, Fan Li added Chu State before Xiangqi.

Qing Ji shook his head and said, "No."

"This is chess, the chess of chess pieces. And it is very different from other chess games. The chess pieces include rooks, horses, soldiers, and cannons. These are all used for offense."

"There are also ministers and soldiers guarding the coach. Once the coach is killed, it will be a failure. It is like a battle formation, which is completely different from Xiangqi!"

When Fan Li heard the words, his interest immediately became aroused, and said: "In this way, it is really like marching to fight a war, but what is this cannon? Why is there no bow?"

Qingji explained: "A cannon is a bow and crossbow. When attacking, you need a pawn in front of you. It doesn't matter whether it's the enemy's or your own..."

Qing Ji introduced the functions and moves of each chess piece with great interest, and Fan Li was also deeply attracted by the chess that Qing Ji talked about.

Just listening to it, this chess is as if the two sides are marching and fighting, which makes Fan Li look forward to the arrival of the chess even more.

Between questioning and answering, half an hour has passed.

Fan Li really can't beat Qing Ji in chess.

But he couldn't stand Fan Li's bright nature and strong learning ability, and he would be inseparable from Qing Ji in a short while.

"Uncle Shao, the king of Chu sent a letter yesterday, inviting me from the state of Wu to attack Zheng together. Uncle Shao, do you think this is credible?"

Qing Ji ate Fan Li's "cannon" with a "car", and then said slowly.

Fan Li didn't panic in the slightest, after hearing Qingji's question, he immediately chuckled and said, "My lord, this matter is not surprising."

"Now the situation between Wu and Chu has been reversed. Wu is strong and Chu is weak. The people of Chu dare not go east, and they are afraid that Wu will provoke troubles in the future and send troops to attack Chu. That's why they choose to attack Zheng Ye."

All in all, one sentence.

The people of Chu had already been frightened by the Wu army and did not dare to fight the Wu army.

Like last time, Wu Guo didn't care about it, but if he really wanted to cut off a piece of Wu Guo's body, would Wu Ge not care?
In the state of Chu, there are many people of insight.

Xiong Zhen, king of Chu, saw that Wu State was becoming more and more powerful, but Chu State stopped moving forward, and his heart was very anxious.

Therefore, the Chu people set their sights on Zheng Guo in the Central Plains, and wanted to tear a piece of flesh from Zheng Guo, or even destroy Zheng, to make up for the cities and lands they had lost in previous Wu-Chu wars.

This wishful thinking is very good.

However, how could the state of Jin tolerate it?
"In your opinion, should my country of Wu take the opportunity to attack Chu, or join forces with Chu to attack Zheng?"

Qingji asked meaningfully.

"Your Majesty, I think it's impossible."

Fan Li shook his head and said, "The people of Chu intend to lose the eastern corner and harvest the mulberry elm. How can your lord let Chu succeed? As for taking the opportunity to attack Chu, you must be fully prepared."

"If our country of Wu fights, we will definitely defeat Chu and even destroy Chu in one battle. We should not be sloppy in fighting every country."

"good."

Qing Ji's idea coincides with Fan Li's.

The state of Wu is still in a period of peaceful development, and frequent wars are not in the interests of the state of Wu.

Allied with Chu to defeat Zheng, which undoubtedly gave the Chu people a greater advantage.

In other words, the state of Chu ate meat, while the state of Wu, who was beyond reach, was doomed to only eat soup.

Moreover, Zheng State borders Jin State. Although there are dirty things on weekdays, Jin State must not sit back and watch Chu people bully Zheng State.

"Your Majesty."

At this time, CRRC Fuling Jiao Hua suddenly walked in at the same pace.

"What's the matter?"

"The envoy of the Tang Kingdom, Hua Bao, is asking for an audience."

"Tang country?"

Qingji frowned, quite surprised.

If he remembers correctly, this Tang country should be the only country within a country in Chu country.
