A Millennium Aristocratic Family Starting from the Shang Dynasty

Chapter 117
It took two years to immigrate to Gusu City. After all, in the eyes of many people, migrating to Gusu is equivalent to exile.

Wang Jin was in charge four years ago. Under the guidance of Sun Shuao, he did a good job, not very good, but it is more than enough to be a successful king.

In the Huai State office, Gusu City is very important. After all, if this land is used well, it will be a logistics base for the Huai State.After large-scale construction of water conservancy facilities, a large number of people can live in Gusu City, which can be summed up in one sentence as the foundation of kings and overlords.

In order to control this piece of land in the public office, Wang Jin appointed the public office as Gusu Yin. The term of each Gusu Yin is five years, and he will be transferred no matter what after five years.

Although there are black bird patterns and old ancestors in the official family, it is basically impossible for Quwo to replace Yi, but a reasonable system is also necessary.

Wang Jin moved a group of wealthy households to Gusu. There were many reasons for this. In addition to enriching the city of Gusu, the other part was also because many noble families were too big to get rid of, encroaching on the living space of ordinary people.

Wang Jin forcibly moved these people away, split up these noble families, and forcibly split the aristocratic families into small households in this way.Coupled with the laws agreed by Sun Shuao before, it quickly controlled the growth of Huai Guoqingshi's family.

At the same time, after relocating these aristocratic families to Gusu City, it also provided room for more people to rise.It also allowed Wang Jin to place his confidants.It can be regarded as killing multiple birds with one stone.

As the builder of Gusu City, Xu Yong became the first Lingyin of Gusu City.In fact, since the Huai State vigorously developed water conservancy, the food in Wudi has continued to grow.

After all the water conservancy facilities were completed, the grain production around the Taihu Plain increased by [-]% in the second year.After more advanced farming techniques are used here, it will increase to [-]% in the future.

In the entire Taihu Lake Plain, there are millions of acres of fertile land. If there is a bumper harvest, it will be enough to feed the entire Huai Country for a year.With the Huaihe Plain and the Taihu Plain, the grain output of Huai State has left far behind other countries in Bangzhou.

After completing the construction of Gusu City, Wang Jin stopped the collection of labor services.Ten consecutive years of forced labor has placed a heavy burden on the people of Huai State.Ever since Zijue, the Huai Kingdom has believed in the bottom line that the people's power cannot be exhausted.

Therefore, the labor service collection in Huai country has always been very cautious, and it is necessary to prepare dry food tools by yourself for the labor service collection in other countries. Some money, of course, the money is not much.

The labor service in Huai country is carried out in rotation. After participating in labor service once, they will not be recruited again when they are called for labor service in the second year.

From the perspective of other vassal states, the conscripting of labor in Huai country is a fool's behavior. How good is it for free?

In fact, the free ones are the most expensive.

All the gifts given by fate have already been secretly priced.

It's like other countries think that the standard of wealth is to fill the warehouse with grain and grass, and the accumulation of money is huge, and it is irreversible.

However, there are clear records in the collection of the Huai State Office that this kind of behavior is a waste.After all, money is only money when it is spent, and it is just a pile of scrap metal in the warehouse.

Let money circulate and goods circulate, this is the role of money.

Wang Jin lives with the people and no longer imposes labor on a large scale.But it doesn't mean that Huai country has also stopped.Wang Jin sent a large number of spies into Chu and Chao.

Chaoguo is a Fangguo with a long history, which can be traced back to the Xia Dynasty.When Bang Zhou divided the world, he was also divided into a viscount country.

Later, Chu State rose, and Chao State became a subsidiary state of Chu State.Chu State supported Yue State through Chao State, and Chu State's two attacks on Huai State were borrowed from Chao State.

Huai State is very dissatisfied with Chao State, and at the same time, it is also preparing to deal with Chao State in order to cut off the channel for Chu State to support Yue State.

Chao country is not a powerful country, Huai country sent secret guards into it to collect intelligence about Chao country.

On the other hand, Huai State has also been staring at Chu State. Since Chu State was once again defeated by Huai State, it has been developing all these years.

After ten years of recuperation, the strength of Chu State can be said to have improved to a higher level.

Xiong Yun, Marquis of Chu is also a rare Mingjun. He used various methods to suppress the nobles and nobles in Chu State, strengthened the power of Marquis Chu, lightly paid and paid less, and let the people recuperate.

If Huai State attacks Chao State, Chu State will definitely send troops.Chao State is related to the connection between Chu State and Yue State, and it is also a vassal state of Chu State.If it is annexed by Huai State, it will be a great blow to the prestige of Chu State.

At the same time, the situation of Chu State and Yue State attacking Huai State will be broken. Without the support of Chu State, Yue State will not be able to last long.

Huai State wanted to deal with Yue State, except for Yue State's hot and humid environment and smoky land, it was Chu State's support.

During the ten years of recuperation in the Huai country, the overlord of the Central Plains was still the Jin country. Although Jin Hou Chong'er was defeated once in the Huai country, he was invincible in other places.

It's just that this Marquis of Jin suffered a lot when he was young. He lived in exile for 19 years, and died in the ninth year after he ascended the throne.

That is, in the fourth year after Wang Yue passed away, Chonger, Marquis of Jin also passed away.

After the death of Jin Hou Chonger, his son Jin Xianggong came to the throne.This Duke Xiang of Jin was also a wise king, but unfortunately he died sooner than his father, and passed away after seven years as Marquis of Jin.

The two consecutive Jinhous have not been in office for a long time, which has caused the six ministers of Jin to grow bigger.Jin Guoqingshi was naturally loyal to Chong'er during the Chong'er period, but their descendants were not necessarily loyal to Chong'er's descendants.

Especially after the death of Chong'er's son, Duke Xiang, the six ministers of Jin started a series of power struggles in order to fight for power and profit.Even the princes of Jin State died a few because of the struggle of these officials.

It has to be said that Duke Wen of Jin never dreamed that the Liuqing system he designed in order to contain the Duke of Jin had not passed 50 years, and the power of the Liuqing had already begun to backfire against the Marquis of Jin.

Seeing that the state of Jin fell into chaos again, Wang Jin didn't even need to send the hidden guards to the state of Jin to provoke them.At this time, the state of Jin was not only busy fighting for power at home, but also fighting with the state of Qin abroad.The state of Jin has no time to entangle with the state of Huai at all.

As for the state of Qi, since Duke Huan of Qi, it seems that the fortune of the state of Qi has been taken away. The five sons fought together, and the national strength of the state of Qi has been declining.

Seeing that Jin and Qi had no time to intervene in other matters, Wang Jin began to prepare for war against Chao and Chu.

Without the help of Qi and Jin, even if Chu is strong now, Huai can defeat it.
