Rebirth of Wu Ba Spring and Autumn

Regarding the battle situation in the Central Plains analyzed by Fan Li for Qingji, as well as the internal instability of the Jin State, all the monarchs and ministers of the State of Wu present could not help but slightly nodded their heads in agreement.

In this case, Wu Guo can actually sit on the sidelines.

Because, this melee in the Central Plains will not end in a short time.

As a time traveler, Qingji, how could he not know about this period of history?
This was originally a family strife between the Zhao family and the Handan family, between the Dazong and the Xiaozong, but it was used as the trigger to trigger a national civil war in the state of Jin between the six ministers for power and profit.

During this period, Qi State, Zheng State, and even Zhou Tianzi also took advantage of the civil war among the six princes of Jin State, and participated in it, assisting the Fan family and the Zhongxing family to plot the Jin State.

Jin Zhao Jianzi (Zhao Yang) was able to quell the civil strife after eight years of hard work.

Eight years!

Counting up to now, there are still at least six years before this melee in the Central Plains and the civil war in Jin will come to an end.

Standing on the sidelines seems to be more beneficial to Wu Guo.

"Father, my son thinks that what the Yushi doctor said is very true."

Young Master Heng stood up, bowed to Qingji and said, "For the present plan, what our country of Wu should do is to take advantage of the domestic turmoil in Jin and the melee in the Central Plains to stabilize the country and make a lot of war money."

"My country of Wu has hoarded a large amount of weapons and equipment, as well as military supplies. Taking advantage of this time, I can sell them to all parties in the melee in the Central Plains, so as to make a lot of money."

Hearing this, before Qingji could speak, Sun Wu, Bo Tong, Wu Zixu and other ministers all expressed their agreement.

Over the years, the state of Wu has been rising rapidly, and its national strength is flourishing.

From the beginning, the goal of Wu State was to annex Chu State and complete the unification of the south, and finally to plan for the Central Plains and dominate the world.

But, how can such an ambition, such an ambition, be easily realized?

The pace of Wu's expansion was too fast, and its foundation was not stable. Even before the battle of destroying Chu, Wu's extinction had lasted for three or four years, but it still could not completely stabilize its rear.

In the eyes of Sun Wu, Wu Zixu, Fan Li and others, at this time, the state of Wu should stabilize its rear, and take advantage of the melee among the princes of the Central Plains, sell a large amount of weapons and equipment, military supplies, and make a fortune in war!

Sometimes, even to celebrate a taboo, you have to compromise with reality.

Ambitious?

Then there must be the strength to match it!

What if, when Qingji led the army and went north to join the war to compete in the Central Plains, the backyard caught fire and smoke was everywhere, what should I do?

Is it going to end up like Fu Chai, the king of Wu in history, who died and the country perished?

No, it's not going to be that serious.

The worst result is that rebellions are launched in various places, making the state of Wu too busy to take care of itself.

Fortunately, Qingji knew that this scuffle in the Central Plains would last for several years, and Wu would benefit, so there was no need to rush to participate in it for a while.

In this way, it will be inferior!

"Wu Hong."

"My son is here!"

"Sell military supplies to the princes of the Central Plains. You are fully responsible. Ask Zeng Dian, Fan Li, and generals to assist you. Remember that everything is based on the interests of Wu. Don't let me down!"

"My son, obey the king's order!"

After receiving this important task, Young Master Hong couldn't help but his eyes lit up, and he agreed with a sob in his voice.

Can make Qing Ji pay so much attention to and reuse him, so it can be said that Gong Zihong will die without regrets!

How did the Wu Kingdom become the overlord of the South and the wealthiest country in the world within ten years?
There are many reasons!

In addition to Qingji's hard work and implementation of the New Deal over the years, in line with the principle of inclusiveness and tolerance, he has been recruiting talents, building Wu, and developing people's livelihood and commerce. The biggest reason is that Wu's business is very prosperity!
Tea, refined salt, silk, pottery, weapons, luggage, etc., all these things made Wu a lot of money.

Produced by Wu Guo, it must be a high-quality product!
Various commodities from Wu State have been circulating in the markets of various countries for a long time, and they are very popular.

Among them, weapons and equipment, military supplies accounted for a larger market share.

Among the merchants in the Wu Kingdom, many of them turned into weapons dealers, traveling to and from the northern countries all year round, selling large quantities of weapons and military supplies...

In fact, those weapons and equipment, military supplies, etc., were all produced by Wu's professional Ministry of Industry.

No middlemen make the difference!

Those merchants are also "official merchants"!
With the intensification of the melee in the Central Plains, Wu's weapon sales also remained high.

At this time, seeing Young Master Hong being entrusted with a heavy responsibility by Qing Ji, Young Master Heng sitting on the side couldn't help lowering his head, a gloomy look flashed in his eyes.

His hands hidden in his sleeves had unconsciously clenched into fists, his fingernails were deeply sunken into the flesh, bleeding out from pinching...

Why!
Why!
This is obviously what I advocated first!

Why did the father entrust Wu Hong with a heavy responsibility?Don't listen to me?

The concubine born to that lowly maidservant, why should he fight with me!

Young Master Heng couldn't figure it out, and at the same time hated Young Master Hong even more...

"Wu Heng."

Qingji yelled, seeing that Young Master Heng didn't respond, he couldn't help frowning, and said, "Wu Heng!"

"My son is here!"

Only then did Young Master Heng come to his senses.

"One month later, the talented people recommended by the ministers of the court and the county magistrates from all over the country will gather in Jixia Academy to take part in the examination. You will be selected on behalf of the widow, and Ji Ran, Wen Zhong, and Deng Xi will be appointed. Help you, don't let the widow down."

"My son obeys the king's orders!"

Young Master Heng quickly agreed.

This is really a twist!

There is no way out of the mountains and rivers, and there is another village in the dark and bright!
Maybe this is Qingji's test of Gong Zihong and Gong Ziheng?

Whether it is selling weapons and military supplies to the princes of the Central Plains, or electing officials for the state of Wu, it is no small matter.

However, it is intriguing for Qingji to make such an arrangement.

Sun Wu, Fan Li, Ji Ran and others present here are all good people, how can they not guess Qing Ji's thoughts?
Selecting talents as officials for the country is a real national event.

Who has the power to appoint the virtuous and use the capable?

Undoubtedly, the king.

However, Gong Ziheng enjoys the ability to recommend talents to Qingji.

In other words, in the exam at Jixia Academy one month later, Young Master Heng was the chief examiner.

For anyone who wants to pass the exam, besides his own real talents and knowledge, the reference opinions of Gong Ziheng are also important...

Of course, the last hurdle is Qing Ji.

Whether he can be selected as an official and what kind of position he is suitable for will depend on Qingji in the end.

In fact, Qingji really intends to end this dispute between the concubine and the concubine, and choose a suitable heir for the state of Wu.

In the past, Qingji might use the position of the crown prince to attract the princes to seize the heir, and then spur them on.

However, as the melee among the lords of the Central Plains intensified, Qingji needed a crown prince to supervise the country and regent for him, to sit in the capital of Ying for himself, and suppress the old land of Chu.
