Rebirth of Wu Ba Spring and Autumn

Chapter 613 The wind rises and the clouds fly

"The wind is blowing and the clouds are flying."

"Vega at home and back home."

"Andre warrior guards all directions!"

The time has entered the 18th year of Wu Wang Qingji, that is, 496 BC, the sixth month of the lunar calendar.

After Wu Qin Shaoxi mountain meeting, Qingji returned to Yingdu again, offering sacrifices to Zhurong and Taiyi God, in order to win the favor of Chu people.

Afterwards, Qingji finally returned to the imperial court, and on the turbulent river, he recited the "Great Wind Song" written by Liu Bang, the emperor of the Han Dynasty in history.

Sun Wu, Fan Li, Bo Tong and other ministers standing behind them can all hear that Qingji's "Great Wind Song" is a song of Chu...

For example, Qi, Lu, Song, Wei and other Central Plains countries all have their own poems, and the genres are all four-character poems.

For example, "My fair lady, a gentleman likes to eat. There are various waterweeds, and they are picked from the left and right"...

For example, "There are Fusu in the mountains, and there are lotus flowers in Xi'an", for example, "There are big rats and big rats, and there is no food for my millet"...

The difference between the Book of Songs and the Songs of Chu is that one represents realism and the other represents romanticism.

The characteristics of the Book of Songs lie in its plainness, naturalness and "realism", so the "Book of Songs" can be regarded as "civilian literature".

"Chu Ci" is a work of literati, which of course involves literary talent.

This is not to say that Chuci's cultural level is high!

The culture of Wu and Chu is similar, but different from the culture of the Central Plains, but they all belong to the Huaxia cultural circle.

Therefore, if the state of Wu wants to integrate with the state of Chu, it can only open a breakthrough from the cultural aspect, instead of blindly forcing the Chu people to be slaves and pay for the state of Wu...

Once the country is destroyed and the family is destroyed, the era when everyone is reduced to slaves and subjugated slaves is gone forever.

Whether it is old Wu people or new Wu people, to a certain extent, Qingji can treat people equally.

At this time, on the deck of the building ship, Prince Heng, Prince Hong and other princes of the Wu Kingdom looked at Qing Ji who was reciting "Great Wind Song", and they couldn't help admiring him, and their admiration was beyond words.

This is the king of Wu, the king of Wu, their father!
A king through the ages who carried on the past and ushered in the future and completed the unfinished business of the ancients!
With the song "Great Wind Song", everyone can feel Qingji's ambition!

"Father, my son has something, I don't know if I should say it or not?"

At this time, Young Master Xi suddenly stood up and bowed to Qing Ji.

"But it doesn't matter."

"Father, my country of Wu defeated Chu this time, and won the first battle. However, my son thinks that there is one matter that the father must solve..."

"What's the matter?"

Young Master Xi said slowly: "There are many aristocrats in the state of Chu, not to mention the original monarchs and ministers, but there are tens of thousands of princes, officials and their families from all over the country."

"Furthermore, the state of Chu has been established for more than five hundred years, and it has already been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people."

"The hinterland of Chu State, including the Chu people in Jianghan and Nanyang, can be called 'old Chu people', and they have a very high centripetal force towards Chu State."

"Furthermore, the hinterland of Chu State is far away from the mainland of Wu State."

"If the people of Chu rebelled, I'm afraid it would be difficult for the local guards to suppress it for a while."

"That's why, my son thought that my father should move tens of thousands of nobles from Chu to Wu County or Jinling, so as to enrich the capital and prevent the Chu people from having any troubles."

After a pause, Young Master Xi said again: "Old Chu has hundreds of thousands of people, and they won't be convinced by Wu Guo."

"Father, why don't you do it, and move the people from the hinterland of the former Chu state to several counties in the south of Lingnan and southwest?"

"In this way, it will not only save Great Wu from future troubles, but also enrich the population of Lingnan and Southwest. Yue and Chu will live together, so they will not dare to act rashly."

"..."

Hearing this, Qingji took a deep look at Gong Zixi.

Grand Sima Sun Wu standing behind him, Imperial Censor Wu Zixu, Tingwei Bosong, Zhisu Neishi Fan Li, and Guest Qing Yanghu couldn't help but glance at Young Master Xigao.

Yang Hu finally understands the truth that a tiger father has no dogs and sons.

It's no wonder that all the countries in the world know that none of the princes celebrating Jiji is mediocre.

Even Young Master Xi, who has been exiled abroad for many years, can have such a sharp political vision and foresight.

Let me ask, is this a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy predictable?
Of course, if he is in his position and seeks to govern, maybe Young Master Xi is born with an innate talent for politics.

Qingji breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Xi'er, there is nothing wrong with moving tens of thousands of nobles from Chu to Jinling or Wu County so that they can live and work in peace there."

"However, if hundreds of thousands of people from the former Chu land are relocated to Lingnan and southwest, there may be changes."

"The land of Chu has just been pacified, and it was annexed by our state of Wu. Now, few people seek stability, instead of blindly oppressing and causing the people of Chu to rebel..."

How similar is the current state of Wu to the Qin Dynasty when it was unified in history?

After Qin Shihuang unified the world, he moved the nobles of the six countries to Guanzhong.

What is the reason?

Although after years of unification wars, the world has been unified, but many survivors of the six countries continue to cherish the old country, thinking day and night about the way to fight against Qin and restore the country.

Among such survivors, nobles should account for the majority, and Qin Shihuang moved them all to Xianyang, essentially to monitor them.

At the feet of the emperor, deviant activities are easier to detect and extinguish early.

The roots of the nobles of the Six Nations are in the old land of the Six Nations. If they have any rebellious heart, then they need to rely on the survivors of the Six Nations to resist.

On the other hand, if the adherents of the six lands intend to oppose Qin, they also need to use the banner of the nobles of the six countries in order to act conveniently!

The nobles of the six countries were all in Qin, and their connection with their homeland was cut off.

In this way, whether it is the nobles of the Six Kingdoms in Xianyang or the adherents of the Six Kingdoms in the old land, they will be powerless and gradually dispel the idea of ​​rebellion.

The most important thing is that just after the unification war, the population of Xianyang, the capital of the country, has been greatly reduced.

Such a large-scale population migration can effectively alleviate the population problem in Xianyang.

Moreover, the clothing, food, housing and transportation of the nobles of the six countries and their relatives and families will greatly stimulate Xianyang's economy. Real money will continuously flow into Xianyang, and the income of the treasury will increase greatly.

Provide huge manpower and financial resources for the construction of large-scale projects such as palaces, mausoleums, and the Great Wall...

During Qingji's 18-year reign, he wiped out many countries and tribes, and often moved his aristocrats to Jinling, the capital, or Wujun.

This led to the rapid development of Jinling and Wujun, with a large population, rich land, and very developed commerce.

Jinling has become the political center, military center and economic center of Wu State, worthy of its name.

The aristocrats of the state of Chu were undoubtedly very rich, and moving them all to Jinling would be beneficial to the state of Wu.

However, it turned out that the hundreds of thousands of Li Shu in the hinterland of Chu State were not so easy to migrate.

It's okay to move to the mainland of Wu, but if they move to the six counties in the south of the Lingnan, or the three counties in the southwestern part of the barren land, how can they bear it?
