Chapter 363 South Korea’s conspiracy, Qin’s conspiracy

Under Su Jing's words, Zhu Ping raised his head.

He looked into Su Jing's eyes and found that there was no blame or contempt in them.

"Students understand, next time, next time I see Mr. Su, students will not be like this."

Zhu Ping said extremely firmly.

Su Jing nodded and continued: "The five kingdoms conquered Qi. This was an important event that led to the decline of Qi. The root cause of this matter is actually one person, Su Qin."

"As Lord Wu'an of Yan State, Su Qin recommended himself to Qi State to sow discord between Qi State and other vassal states. Su Qin was very successful, and Qin State did not miss this opportunity."

"Among the countries at that time, Qin State rose, Qi State was rich in resources, with strong soldiers and horses, and Zhao State also rose in one fell swoop in Hufu cavalry and shooting. It should have been a three-legged state."

"Then after the five kingdoms conquered Qi, Qi's economy was instantly destroyed. Although it was difficult to recover later, it was difficult to rebuild the collapsed economy."

"As for Zhao's congenital defects, Qin is not in a hurry. Chu is the only opponent that Qin needs to defeat economically."

"To deal with Chu State, Qin State's method was direct and decisive, because Qin State is now quite powerful. It took the initiative to start a war and rob Chu State's salt and iron mines, turning Chu State's salt and iron resources into scarce resources. After more than ten years, Over the years, Qin has been attacking such resource points, gradually strengthening its economic advantages."

"Qin's policy of robbing resources was not implemented suddenly, but had been planned for a long time. When King Qin Zhaoxiang was in power, Qin attacked South Korea, snatched Yiyang, the iron ore producing area, and snatched Ann from Wei. Jiechi in Anyi is rich in salt, so South Korea changed from an advantage in iron mines to iron deficiency, and Wei State began to lack salt from its advantage in salt mines, directly turning the superior resources of other countries into inferior resources, and turning its own economic advantage more solidified."

"On the Chu side, the Battle of Yan-Ying wiped out 10 people from the Chu State. After this battle, the Chu State lost a lot of its population. Quite a few salt and iron producing areas were occupied by the Qin State. Even the capital Ying was lost. Now, Chu State has moved its capital, not to mention the economic aspect, it can no longer be compared with Qin State."

"While the Qin State weakened the economic advantages of other countries through external wars, it also did not forget to improve its own economic advantages internally. For example, the Dujiangyan Irrigation System in Sichuan was built during the reign of King Qin Zhaoxiang by sending Li Bing to serve as the prefect of Shu County. It directly reduced the barren land of Bashu. The earth became a kingdom of abundance, and food production increased greatly.”

"So far, the Qin State has had an absolute advantage in resources such as grain, horses, salt and iron. Now the Qin State can implement trade and economic wars against other countries at will, whether it is an economic blockade or a trade price war to control the market , everything is in the hands of Qin."

"At this moment, the only country that can compete with Qin is Zhao. The superior resource of horses is still very high. However, in a battle of Changping, Zhao's 40 main army was completely wiped out. It’s all gone.”

"Although the other six countries realized Qin's power at this time and began to consciously unite to resist Qin, Qin was no longer so afraid."

"After Qin had absolute advantages in food, horses, salt and iron resources, Qin began to rely on these economic advantages to seize another important resource, which was population."

"Population means labor force and talent. The strong economic advantage means that Qin State can provide quite good economic conditions to the foreign population and attract the foreign population to immigrate to Guanzhong. Both labor force and talents are absorbed by Qin State in large quantities. "

"As one goes and the other goes up, the destruction of the Six Kingdoms has become an inevitable event."

"From an economic point of view, Qin State relied on this series of operations to completely destroy the economies of other countries, laying a solid foundation for Qin to sweep away the six countries and unify the world. From the example of Qin State, we can see Show the importance of economic warfare in national strategy!"

After finally finishing talking about Qin's example, Su Jing took a breath and took a sip of water.

Zhu Feng said, "Mr. Su, I didn't expect that the economy plays such a big role. It really shocked the students. Qin's economic war was so exciting!"

Now Zhu Xiang is more determined to study economics.

The Qin State was able to unify the six countries by relying on economic warfare, which is enough to show that the economy is the most important weapon of the country.

Su Jing put down the tea cup and said calmly: "King Qin, economy is very important, but Qin's unification of the world is a correct policy in many aspects, not just relying on economy. Although economy is important, it cannot be generalized. .”

"Today I just want to talk to you about the economic war between countries, so I focus on the role of the economy in the war between countries, but this does not mean that only having the economy is enough."

For people of Zhu Ming's age, Su Jing knew very well that it was too easy for them to become diodes.

But it’s better not to have Zhu Ping develop extreme perceptions just because of one of his classes.

"What Mr. Su teaches is that students understand."

Zhu Ming replied sincerely.

This is the benefit of Su Jing as an 'absolute authority'. What Su Jing said is right. Even if she feels there is a problem now, it must be her own problem.

Zhu Fang didn't doubt Su Jing at all, he just felt that he was thinking too simply.

Su Jing continued: "The economic war led by Qin State, what I just said is a general direction. I can also have a brief chat with King Qin about the specific operation methods. I wonder if King Qin would like to hear it?"

Although this is a class, it is obviously late.

Logically speaking, it should be time to rest, but Su Jing was a little excited when she talked, and her emotions were still there, so she asked this question.

Zhu Xi immediately said: "Students want to hear it, please continue, Mr. Su!"

Such a wonderful explanation made Zhu Ping extremely excited. He was naturally very happy to listen to it more.

Su Jing smiled and then said: "The Qin State was already extremely powerful at that time, but it was experiencing internal turmoil. It had changed four kings in three years and was internally unstable. At this time, all countries took advantage of this opportunity to recuperate, restore their own economies, and prepare for the Unite and fight against Qin."

"But to deal with Qin, the most important thing is time. The economies of various countries have been hit too hard by Qin, so they need more time. At this critical moment, South Korea took the lead in coming up with a way, that is, to transport a It was a conspiracy for water conservancy talents from the state of Zheng to enter the state of Qin and help the state of Qin build an artificial river hundreds of miles long."

"Why is it said to be a conspiracy? Because after the construction of this artificial river, it will be of great benefit to the agriculture of Qin State. However, the construction of an artificial river is still an artificial river hundreds of miles long. That is not a For small projects, whether it is manpower or force, Qin's consumption is huge. If manpower and material resources are consumed here, Qin's pace in dealing with the six countries will be slowed down. At the same time, South Korea can take the opportunity to restore its economy, and other countries can also We will take advantage of the civil strife in Qin and consume manpower and material resources to counterattack."

"It can be said that South Korea's conspiracy was something that Qin could not refuse. Qin did build this man-made river just as South Korea envisioned."

"It's just that the Qin State is more determined. The man-made river must be built, the internal situation must be stabilized, and the market control must be firmer. Until the man-made river, the Zheng Guo Canal, is built, the Qin State has lived smoothly. , Zheng Guo Canal gave Qin a lot of fertile land at once, and its population carrying capacity was also greatly increased. It can be said that it has effectively improved Qin’s national power.”

"Afterwards, the adult Qin Shihuang first went to war against Zhao, and then took advantage of Qin's superior copper and iron resources to join forces with Qi, which also had superior copper and iron resources at the time, to raise the price of copper and iron."

"Although the relationship between Qin and Qi was not good, Qi still chose to join forces for the sake of profit. National interests were above all else. In this way, under the control of the two largest exporters of copper and iron, the copper and iron industry at that time Prices skyrocketed.”

"Attention, something interesting happened at this time. The rise in the price of copper and iron directly caused the people of Han, Zhao and Wei to start large-scale iron and copper smelting in order to make more money. Even a lot of land was abandoned. For For the common people, they can do whatever they want to make money. If the grain production is reduced, they can also buy it." "The senior officials of the three kingdoms of Han, Zhao, and Wei naturally saw the disadvantages of abandoned land, but the current price of copper and iron is very high, and Qin and Qi It also restricts the market. The frontline battlefields are in great need of war resources such as copper and iron. Faced with this situation, they can only drink poison to quench their thirst and get over the immediate difficulties first."

"After all three countries missed the farming season, Qin began to dominate the copper and iron market again, increasing supply and causing the price of copper and iron to plummet. Previously, the people who smelted copper and iron in Han, Zhao, and Wei suffered losses. All the money was lost. What’s even more frightening is that because the farming season has been missed, the land has been abandoned. It’s too late to replant and the food is gone.”

"Under Qin's control over copper and iron prices, the lives of the people of Han, Zhao and Wei have become extremely miserable. They have no money and no food. Qin's economic war has achieved good results."

"At this time, the Qin State began to spread news again. As long as these people can come to the Qin State, they can give away land and production materials for free, and their lives will immediately get better. For the people of Han, Zhao, and Wei, this is heaven's gift. After all, under Qin’s control, most of them were starving to death, so no matter how the top leaders of Han, Zhao and Wei stopped the population outflow, as long as the economic problem cannot be solved, the population outflow will not be stopped.”

"Population is the core factor of a country's strength. The population of the three countries of Han, Zhao and Wei moved out in large numbers, resulting in ten houses and nine empty houses. The national power naturally plummeted, and there was no effective force to resist Qin at all."

"This wave of Qin's operation is to directly drain the bottom of the cauldron of the three countries of Han, Zhao and Wei, leaving them with no possibility of a comeback. There are no people. No matter how much money, what will happen?"

"It can be said that the Qin State relied on its own economic advantage and adopted various economic warfare policies against other countries. It brought all people and things under the Qin State, and it became a logical thing for the Qin State to unify the world."

"Several generations of kings of the Qin Kingdom have excellent economic vision!"

Su Jing herself said it with great emotion, not to mention Zhu Xi who was listening.

The monopoly of copper and iron resources can actually radiate to food.

This shocked Zhu Xiang greatly.

Such war methods and means also made him more determined to walk on the path of economics.

"So it is, so it is."

Zhu Ming murmured to himself, and while Su Jing finished speaking, he kept writing with the brush in his hand.

"Okay, let's rest after memorizing, I'm going to sleep too."

Su Jing stood up and took a look at the sky. The stars were shining and the night sky was very beautiful.

"Yes, Mr. Su."

Zhu Ming nodded, first got up and escorted Su Jing back to her room, then sat down and recorded it carefully.

While recording, I was still thinking about what Su Jing just said.

"There is such a reason why Qin unified the six countries... Grain, salt and iron are so important... Price wars can be played like this..."

Zhu Xi kept talking to himself, all of which were what Su Jing had said before.

Outside the small courtyard, Zhu Xiang had not slept, and the oil lamp was naturally always on. The guards responsible for protecting him were very surprised.

"I didn't expect that Mr. Su would have to teach so late at night. His Highness King Qin doesn't know if he can bear this hardship."

A young guard said.

Another guard said: "His Royal Highness the King of Qin has long been different from before. I think this is the request of His Highness the King of Qin. After all, His Highness will return to Beijing tomorrow."

"Boss, is this Mr. Su really that powerful?"

The young guard was still a little puzzled.

The captain of the guard glared at him and said, "I usually tell you to read more books and learn more about important events, but you just don't listen. Even someone like Mr. Su can be suspicious of you, so how can you continue to fool around in the future!"

"Listen up, Mr. Su is not a powerful question, but a god. Even though Mr. Su is a count or a count, even a big man like the Duke of the country should treat him with courtesy. Even if Mr. Su is not the teacher of His Highness the Crown Prince, he They are also talents that His Majesty values ​​extremely!"

The words of the guard chief shocked the hearts of several young guards.

As a guard, although there is no information barrier, most of the time you are protecting important people and don't have that much private time.

If you don't take the initiative to understand it yourself, you won't know much.

They really didn't expect that Su Jing would be so powerful.

"If you have the opportunity to meet Mr. Su in the future, remember to be respectful. If Mr. Su can remember us, then we will be prosperous."

The captain of the guard gave another instruction.

"Yes, boss!"

Several people nodded immediately.

At this moment, in the imperial palace in the capital, Lao Zhu and Queen Ma were chatting as husband and wife.

"The second kid, let's say three days at most. He's really got a lot."

Zhu Yuanzhang complained.

Empress Ma smiled and said: "Pang'er has become more enlightened now. If you still look at him like before, Zhongba, I'm afraid you may have made a mistake."

Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly and said: "If you don't look away, no matter what, we are still his father!"
