Competing

Chapter 606 Chapter [-]
During the five years of King Yue, the world enjoyed rare peace.

Qi and Liang both concentrated their forces and focused on controlling the newly acquired fiefdoms.Han Guo, on the other hand, licked his wounds disheartenedly because of repeated injuries.After Yue State took Guanzhong, it also stopped the pace of conquest.

You can't become a big fat man by eating in one bite, you need a process of digestion.The expansion of Yue Kingdom in recent years has been quite fast, especially in the west of the country, which needs a stable process.Step by step, steady and steady is very necessary.

Therefore, Yin Xu temporarily stopped the pace of expansion, in order to stabilize the current situation, move steadily, and make no mistakes.

At the same time, regardless of the consumption of soldiers and food, it needs a process of recuperation and replenishment.Especially in Guanzhong, it is already dilapidated, the population and resources have been used to the extreme by Xiao He, and it has reached the verge of collapse.When attacking Xiancheng before, he also promised to bring peace to the old Qin people in Xianyang.

As the son-in-law of the Qin State, Yin Xu is obliged to do these things well.

Therefore, in this year, Yue Wang Yinxu decided that the Yue State should stop its external expansion and accumulate national power.I originally planned to make plans after the autumn harvest, but the people's strength in Guanzhong has been consumed a lot. Years of wars have caused a lot of losses. It can even be said that the people are struggling to survive, and there must be a process of recuperation.Where is it possible to recover in such a short period of time.

Yin Xu formulated a recuperation strategy in Guanzhong, and at the same time encouraged births on a large scale. Population is always a crucial process in this year.Especially in the war years with low birth rate and high population death.

At the same time, Fan Zi bought a large number of horses in the grassland and transported them to Guanzhong. The things that Fan Wenxuan arranged several years ago can finally be carried out, and it can be regarded as peace of mind.The one who should be most grateful seems to be the elder brother Fan Yang who has never met. Now these can only be repaid to his children. Yin Xu issued an edict to confer the four-year-old Fan Yansi as Marquis.

Yingbu and Su Anbian began to form and train cavalry on a large scale in Guanzhong, and the Yue cavalry was the best in the world, but the number was too small before, and there were too many waters in the south, so the cavalry could not play much role.

But it is different now, Guanzhong is in the north, and the main areas for future operations will be the Central Plains, Hedong and Hebei.Cavalry will play a huge role, so Yin Xucai focuses on developing cavalry here, in order to prepare for the next step of using troops in the Central Plains.

As for the planned Chang'an City, there are experts like Luluo, and the plan has already been proposed, and the construction is only waiting to start after autumn.Yin Xu never does things aimlessly. The reason why he brought Lu Luo with him was not only to take his wife to see the northern style, but also a very important arrangement, which was for the design of Chang'an City.

"Your Majesty, the site of Chang'an City you chose is really excellent!" After inspecting the location of Chang'an City proposed by Yin Xu, Lu Luo was full of praise.

Yin Xu chuckled, and said in his heart: This is not due to me!
Lu Luo over there continued to admire: "Building a city requires attention to its land, water sources, roads, safety and many other aspects. Chang'an City is absolutely excellent. The land in Guanzhong Qinchuan is flat and fertile, and the reason why Qin is strong is precisely because of this. Xianyang is still defeated, and will be replaced when Chang'an City is completed. Qin's influence will gradually dissipate because of this.

The convenient water source is even more advantageous. The Wei, Jing, Feng, Lao, Ju, Yu, Chan, and Ba rivers flow through here.It only needs to dredge some places, and the river can be directly connected to the big river. If the water transportation is well developed, it will be very useful in the future. "

Everyone can see the advantages of Yue State in water transportation. If it can expand in the north in the future, it will definitely be of great help.Therefore, when Luluo noticed the natural river near Chang'an, she took it into consideration.

"As for military defense, Guanzhong is a land of four fortresses, relatively safe. Does Your Majesty really plan to build his capital here in the future?" Luluo pondered for a moment and asked softly.

After all, the meaning and purpose of Yin Xu choosing to build a city of such a scale at this time seems self-evident.It is inevitable that people will have such guesses, so Luluo asked this question.

Yin Xu hesitated for a moment, then said: "I have such considerations, but now I still have hesitation in my heart, and I haven't made a complete decision."

"Oh!" Luluo nodded slightly.

Although it is not yet time to make a decision on where to choose the capital city, some planning in advance is also possible.

Yin Xu said: "Guanzhong is a land of four fortresses. The capital is here. There is absolutely no problem with security. However, most of the territory is surrounded by mountains. Guanzhong's control over the land in the east seems to be limited. Is Qin's demise also related to this? What about other factors? So I have to think more. Back then, Qin Shihuang had no choice, and the hearts of the six countries were uncertain. Qin Shihuang did not dare to establish the capital on the land of the original six countries.

Now the widow doesn't have this concern, but he must also consider whether similar adverse effects will appear?Another issue is money and food. Now it seems that Guanzhong is a land of abundance, rich in products, but the natural conditions in the north are not as good as those in the south.In the long run, the Central Plains, Huainan, and Jiangdong may be the main money and food producing areas, and the population of the capital will increase day by day, requiring a lot of supplies to feed them.

How to solve this problem of grain and grass transportation is a difficult problem. Eight waters circle Chang'an, and water transportation seems to be very good.However, the current condition of the Weishui River near Xiaoshan Mountain is really not very good, even the dredging condition is not very good.Guanzhong seems to be safe, but it will be threatened by the northern grasslands, unless the Heshuo grasslands are always in control.

And because of midnight, people all over the world will associate the widow with the state of Qin. Will the establishment of the capital in Guanzhong cause misunderstandings? It would be bad if others misunderstood. "

Although many things don't seem so serious right now, at least there will be no problems when I am in power.But what about future generations?Yin Xu has to plan for his children and grandchildren. If some problems can be avoided, it is better to avoid them as much as possible.

Luluo nodded lightly: "Your Majesty's worry is not unreasonable, does Your Majesty have an idea to establish a capital in the Central Plains?"

It seems that the only place that meets these considerations mentioned by Yin Xu is in the Central Plains.

Yin Xu nodded and said: "Yes, the Luoyi where Lord Dong Zhou lived was not bad!"

"Luoyi?" Luluo first thought of the political significance of Luoyi.

Yin Xu nodded and said: "Yes, if the Central Plains is successfully captured, I have an idea to build a new city in Luoshui Zhiyang, facing Chang'an from east to west."

"Alright, we'll be making a choice then!" Luluo responded lightly.

Yin Xu nodded and said: "By the way, there is one thing that must be paid attention to. The wood needed for the construction of Chang'an City can be obtained locally, but it must not be felled unrestrainedly. Especially in the Guanbei Plateau, it must be felled in a planned way and planted in time. New saplings. It is the most dangerous thing to catch fish!"

Lu Luo could understand this reasoning, but she didn't feel that it would be as alarmist as Yin Xu said.

Only Yin Xu knows about this matter. Thousands of years later, the disaster caused by soil erosion on the Loess Plateau is so great. It all started in the Qin and Han Dynasties.Shushanwu, the situation of Efang must not be discussed first. Water and soil conservation and sustainable development must start now, and the flood of the Yellow River will be killed in the cradle.

Many things, now that you know it, you have to take precautions before they happen.

According to Yin Xu's memory in his previous life, some urban development concepts of later generations, as well as knowledge related to military defense, coupled with the professional knowledge of Lu Luo's design, everything went smoothly.

A few years later, a new tall city will inevitably rise on the land of Guanzhong, and the wonderful scene of Chang'an surrounded by eight waters will reappear.

...................................................................................................

As for Yin Xu, he didn't stay in Guanzhong for a long time. After everything was arranged, he left Guanzhong.

Originally planned to start the campaign against the Central Plains after autumn, but later found that going too fast is not a good thing.

Especially now, everything needs to be cautious. If you act rashly, your previous efforts may be wasted. The most fearful thing is that the other party will find an opportunity, ruin the good situation, and even endanger your own vested interests and life and death.

The example of the Western Chu State is there. The number one overlord in the world, with such a powerful force, didn't fall apart within a few years.Lessons learned from the past, we have to guard against it!
So it's going to wait a little longer, and there's another reason, there's a lot to do.

When Yin Xu returned, he passed the Jingchu front line and inspected the local defense.At the same time, I also went to see Pu Jun and condolences to the soldiers who fought in the front line. It has been almost two years since we separated.After that, Yin Xu got up and returned to Hongdu without much delay, because of Jiangdong's concerns.

Xu Negative and Fan Yilan gave birth to a son and a daughter successively, and Yin Xu had two more children.When the two wives were giving birth, Yin Xu was already sorry for not being able to line up next to her.
As a father, it is natural to go back and have a look.Look at the two precious children, and the wives of the two great heroes.

Big things will be decided, a precious son will be born, double happiness will come, and the family will be happy and happy.During this year, the Yue Kingdom has been in a state of peace, and spent the New Year in a state of joy.

This year has been spent in such calm, but calm often means the coming of a storm, the calmer the more depressing it is.

However, with the arrival of winter, all the vassal states have settled down, so fighting during this period is naturally impossible.The cold winter temporarily froze the impetuous heart, but sooner or later the ice and snow will melt.The spring of the sixth year of King Yue came soon, and the warmth of spring and the blooming of flowers made many people more and more eager to move.
