When Pan Geng moved to Yin, I initiated Jian Shang

Chapter 350 Zixun’s arrival
Yuyang Market is actually very close to Shouyun Mine.

You can go directly over from the north.

Xinqu looked at the map and could basically determine his future construction goals.

Miyun, Yuyang, Yingyang, and Zunhua must be stabilized in our hands.

In this way, Shuimen Pass on the Chaohe River, Songting Pass at Xifengkou and Yongping County will be the stable core for controlling the steel industry.

At the same time, smelting requires charcoal.

Whether it is charcoal or coal, both are needed.

Fortunately, it can be cut down through Yanshan at this stage.

Quite simply, if Shannan was not located on a major traffic road and the weather was prone to change, this would be the place where the career of king and hegemony started.

But if you do it yourself, you will have even greater advantages.

After all, as long as the ironwork is completed, he can start large-scale water conservancy projects.

Especially the Chaobai River Basin!

Xin Qu did some calculations and found that according to the current manpower limit of the Xin family, the fastest completion of water conservancy construction would require ten years of investment and more than 10 people, which is a human investment of more than 100 million people.

"Lack of people!"

Xin Qu sighed, stepped down from the screen, and looked at the estimated grain output sent by each county this year.

Among them, Changping is the highest, able to provide rations for 3 people for a year.

Yanqing can only guarantee rations for 2 people.

Yingyang County can guarantee rations for 6000 people for a year. As for Yongping County, he still has to provide rations for about 3000 people.

The ration consumption that really needs to be directly invested by oneself is less than [-], and the rest can basically be self-sufficient.

Then, the surplus is enough food for more than 3000 people.

The millions of grains brought last year were all shipped later.

"Clan leader, Elder Weishan is here."

Weishan boat?Xin Qu was surprised, how could it be him?He thought Zi Xun would arrange for the Wei brothers to come over.

"Please."

Xin Qu recently sent some information on the situation of the merchants in the southern cities.

Zihe succeeded in seizing power and began to order tribute from all directions. Xinqu originally planned to send people this year, but later heard that Zihe had begun to ennoble the princes from all directions, so he was left out.

Xin Qu is not happy about it this time. Are you kidding me? I have blocked the Mo clan for you. At least I can give you the status of earl so that I can have an explanation to the clan.

As a result, you not only asked me to pay tribute, but also didn’t give you a good name. Isn’t this forcing you to work alone?
I really don’t know what Zihe thinks.

But just when he was slandering, Lu's father sent him some news from the south, that is, Lu's father opened Luyi in Mengshan, and now he had his own territory.

Zixun arranged a marriage for him and married a widow from the royal family.

It can be said that Zi Xun also made a good gesture. Zi He is Zi He and he is him. Father Lu is one of the few ties between Zi Xun and the Youxin family, and Zi Xun has no intention of breaking.

Father Lu just said that there was a plague in Amshang. The recent Qilong Rong expedition may affect subsequent exchanges. He may also go to war with the army, so he came to report that he was safe.

In addition, Father Lu found the old witch and hoped that the old witch could come to Luyi to help him, but the old witch refused.

He also told him that with the Xin clan, there are now three regions, and each has greater development advantages.

Therefore, they were moved to the Daming County area in later generations, and the village was called Ku.

Because they built their own village on a land dominated by brown soil. When they were farming and hunting here, they found that the brown soil looked like yellow and fallen leaves, so they named it Ku.

Kuzhai has been established for a year and is gradually surviving here. Father Lu reminded Xinqu that it is possible that in the near future, Lao Wu and the others will send people back to pick up his family and go south.

At that time, the Xin family may face an unnecessary tear.

Therefore, Xin Qu was very subtle about Zixun sending Weishanzhou, because sending Weishanzhou meant that from Zixun's point of view, he did not intend to contact him directly.

Whether it was for political self-preservation or because Zixun believed that his functions had been completed, it was not good news for the Youxin family.

Because he does not intend to break up with the South in the short term, and even needs to access the market in the South. Without the support of the Amish merchant nobles, the Hebei Shang clan will definitely refuse to trade with them.

It is completely obvious that this group of people does not welcome their trade. Even Shuidi, who was still fighting with the Ji family some time ago, has recently stopped fighting and moved east to the seaside, which is close to the city of Cangzhou in later generations. .

In this way, it became the iron triangle of Cangyi, Shuidi, and Monyi, which directly blocked the possibility of connecting to the Yellow River waterway.

After all, sometimes, the Yellow River takes over the Haihe River and flows into the Bohai Sea, although most of the time it stays in Cangzhou.

The Shang nobles of Hebei have already reacted, and now that Zixun has sent Wei Shanzhou, the elder of Qi Fang, it is impossible for Xin Qu not to think more about it.

What he lacks most now is time. If the honeymoon period ends, there is no guarantee that the Hebei Shang Gong family will break up with him first.

After seeing Wei Shanzhou come in, Xin Qu stood up with a smile to greet him.

"Long time no see, how are you doing, elder?" Xin Qu asked with a smile.

Wei Shanzhou sighed: "Although Laiyi has become a little more stable recently, Juyi is still making trouble. Before I set off, I heard that your brother suppressed Juyi once. He can be called a heroic young man, but I, Qifang, are different. , the main forces are on the Amshang side, the rear is empty, and has been attacked many times."

What Wei Shanzhou seemed to be complaining about was actually more of a test.

Before he left, he was told to see Xinqu's attitude towards Zixun.After all, Zixun really didn't help Xin Qu get a name. Even if he used Zhuofeng, Zhuofeng's words didn't have much effect. On the contrary, Xin was in Zihe's heart because of Zixun's operation. A bad impression, so until now, King Shang's mission has not set off.I won't arrive here until spring next year at the earliest, and I want to marry Xin Qu.

At this time, we have to test Xin Qu. It is best to make Xin Qu hate Zi He and choose to stand around Zi Xun.

Xin Qu didn't say anything after hearing this kind of compliment, because there were very few words to praise him, and he didn't hear much favorability, but mostly misery.

Qi Fang was attacked?Is this none of his business?

However, Xin Qu still sighed and said: "To be honest, the Xin family has been having a lot of troubles recently. The Ji family in the south is eyeing us, and they have also been intensively preparing for war recently. If it weren't for the truce that I had with the Ji family, the war would have started now.

Not to mention that the rogues in the mountains have been provoking me recently.

Not long ago, those people in the mountains insulted my sworn brothers and even hooked up with the remnants of the Guzhu clan. It was only then that I had time to inspect the Yuyang market. Normally, I would have to stay further east. "

Wei Shanzhou secretly complained, "Who knows what you mean by this thing!"I don’t understand the tribal hostility surrounding the Xin clan!

However, seeing the misery and suffering did not resonate with him, Wei Shanzhou could only bite the bullet and said: "I heard Ying Qi say on the way that your ministry has not paid tribute to the south?"

"I'm not going." Xin Qu shook his head slightly, "The King of Shang in the south doesn't like me, so there's no point in going."

"No, no, no, we have to go! We have to go!" Wei Shanzhou said quickly, "You can definitely ask Wang Zixun to take you on this trip. I think King Shang will also give you this face."

"Face is never given by others." Xin Qu raised his eyebrows, "I have expanded my territory over the years and have tens of thousands of people. Do I still need others to give me face?"

"This..." Weishanzhou is also numb, and Xin's development is indeed a little too fast.

"However, since Elder Weishan has spoken, it must be Zixun's intention. Okay, I will give you this face." Xinqu said directly, "After that, I will send people to the court to publicly support the next Shang King as Zixun. With me There are [-] Xin clan members in Shannan, so I don’t believe my voice is not loud enough.”

"Ah this..." Wei Shanzhou was confused, that's not what I meant!

Didn't you do this on purpose?
The last time Zixun asked Zhuofeng to cause trouble, he was already beaten!

How dare you say that?

"Don't worry! I have Xin Shi who is definitely strong enough to withstand this situation." Xin Qu waved his hand.

The Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors and the Xia and Shang dynasties were all tribal alliance systems, and the concept of the country had not yet been fully constructed.

Therefore, most local areas are governed by tribal autonomy, and then the communist leaders pull and beat the nobles in autonomous areas.

But the system built by Xin Qu is destined to evolve into a country, so he has been diluting tribal culture and improving the military merit and talent selection system. The purpose is to solve tribal autonomy and move into the state 1.0 era.

Since the line he has set up is Zixun, the future Pan Geng, then he should be more straightforward and stand by his side first to give him enough face. Then, after solving the problem in the mountains to the east, he can turn to the west and south to put pressure and force him. The northern tribes moved southward, disrupting the heart of Heluo and affecting the development of the Amish merchants.

Buy yourself more time to develop in Shannan.

Xin Qu knew very well that sooner or later he would be driven on a chariot to compete in the world. After all, the military meritorious service was a high-speed carriage. Once the military interest group was completely formed, he would die if he did not take this step.

From the very beginning, he developed these systems just to survive and not to become a human sacrifice for burial!
Therefore, no matter what Wei Shanzhou says, no matter what Zixun thinks, Xin Qu's only advantage is that he knows who the next Shang King is, and it is better to place a bet in advance than to do nothing.

Since Zihe is wary of himself, just skip to the next one.

If it doesn't work, I still have a second option. If Xin Bing and Lao Wu invest in Shang Xiaoyi, if it doesn't work, then roll up your sleeves and do it yourself.

The old witch himself has chosen his bet target.

One line is in Luyi, another line is in Kuzhai, and another line is in Changping.

No matter who wins in the end, Xin will always be there.

This is also the reason why there are Xin clan everywhere in Shannan, Henan, and even Heluo.

This is why the Xin family was an investment partner during the founding of the Xia and Shang Dynasty on Wednesday.

Especially the status of the surname Si.

King Zhou You's concubine was from the Xin family lineage.

Although King You messed up Ji Jiang's partnership system, King You was still capable at the time. At the end of his game, he almost completed the cleanup of the Jiang surname.

It's a pity that my father-in-law, Marquis Shen, doesn't have martial ethics, so he took advantage of the drought and the rivers dried up to attract the dog soldiers.

You know, the river has dried up and grown grass. This is not a simple river, but a highway.

Quanrong is suffering from drought and is worried about eating. Someone will lead the way, oh ho!

Taking the royal city directly, the princes reacted and King Zhou You was dead, so they had no choice but to move eastward to King Ping, completely turning the land of Zongzhou Longxing into Xibi, and it was not until the Qin and Han Dynasties that it rose again.

So after the end of King You, the Si surname was gradually excluded by Ji Jiang.

I feel that placing multiple bets is the key to the longevity of Xia Queen's in-law tribes such as the Xin family and the Youxin family.

Standing in line.

Therefore, Xinqu spoke, which meant that the order Wei Shanzhou accepted was bankrupt. Xinqu did not obey Dayi Shang as expected, but directly supported Zixun.

Next, Zi Xun may be roasted on the fire, and even Father Lu will be affected.

Don't worry about it. After all, the Xin family is far away from Dayi.

Dayi merchants would not bother him stupidly. Now they have bigger troubles of their own. Qi Longrong has already attacked.

You won't mess with him unless he has some free time.

After Xin Qu had entertained Weishan Zhou, Wu Zhongmi came to find him.
