I am a nobleman in Spring and Autumn

Chapter 138

Several high-ranking families in the state of Jin are either going to war or are preparing to go to war. Only the Zhi family can breathe because of the special situation. If they don't take this opportunity to develop quickly, they will be struck by lightning.

Zhiyao's plan is too big, and it is impossible to hide it from other families. Their envy is nothing but envy, so they can't die with a patriarch, right?

The Zhao family and the Wei family continued to play with the Fan family. The three parties did not have a so-called main battlefield at all. The Zhao family continued to besiege the "Wen" land, and the Wei family attacked one place after another.

They have been fighting like this for more than a year. The Fan family is not the worst as the passive defensive side. The worst is the Wei family who has to bite hard bones. The Zhao family seems relatively relaxed among the three families.

However, Shi Jishe has already gone south to seduce Chu State as people guessed.

If King Zhen of Chu hadn't personally conscripted, Shi Jishe who went south would go to the "Ying" capital of Chu State.

In addition, because the Chu State conceded defeat in the struggle for hegemony, they only became kings internally and externally.This is Zhao Wu's achievement, but he didn't do it thoroughly.

In recent years, the state of Chu has done a lot of things. It has annexed the state of Dun and the state of Hu successively. Among them, the state of Dun has long been the meat in the bowl of the state of Chu, and the state of Hu has been attacked by the king and his ministers. In Cai State, which was infiltrated by Chu State, Chu soldiers chose to surrender as soon as they arrived in Cai State. However, Cai State did not perish. They were moved to a more southerly position by Chu State.

From 496 BC to 491 BC, the state of Chu destroyed the two countries, and the state of Cai also died without extinction, adding new achievements to his meritorious service, and properly occupying the first place in the number of deaths in the Spring and Autumn Period.

After Zhiyao knew that the state of Chu had made such a big move in the past few years, she knew that the state of Chu was recovering blood from Xiaoguo, and she was even more sure that Wu Zixu did not dig up the tomb of the king of Chu.

The reason is there, there is no rumor that Wu Zixu did a grave-digging and flogging the corpse, and Chu State did not try hard to fight Wu State.

What if King Chu was whipped to death?It is too unreasonable for Chu State not to avenge this revenge!
Because of related needs, Zhiyao came to a place called Jize.

Zhiyao had conducted inspections before, and knew that the "Jia Clan" north of Jize...or in other words, the "Jia Clan" north of "Quliang" was a place densely covered with swamps.

They didn't come here this time for reconfirmation, and because Dou Ji, who is more than 70 years old, wants to conduct a field survey. The old Zhi family needs to rely on Dou Ji, an old man, and Zhiyao will accompany him no matter what to show respect.

Lao Tzu came with him.He was still waiting for Zhishi to finish printing the book, and when he learned that Zhishi was going to build a water conservancy project around "Handan", he thought it was a big event and offered to come over to help.

Therefore, Laozi is now a guest official of the Zhi family in terms of identity.

It should be said that the boss is worthy of being a boss. After inspecting around, I gave Zhiyao a very reliable suggestion.

"Building dams based on the terrain and cutting off the harm of water flow, the 'Jia Clan' can reclaim tens of thousands of mu of fertile land within ten years." Lao Tzu said.

This "ten thousand mu" is an imaginary number, just like the "three thousand feet" that flies straight down three thousand feet.

Zhu Xia is like this. When it comes to numbers, he always likes to modify them. He never thought that doing so would make the elementary and middle school students of later generations very troubled.

The climate of the current Jin State is not that different from that of the later generations of Guangdong, and the rainy season is much longer than that of the later generations. In addition, some mountains and rivers are different, which leads to the status quo of the Hebei part of the Jin State.

In fact, it is not surprising that the regional climates are different for nearly 500 years, and it is even more normal that the landforms and environments of mountains and rivers are different.

"The riverside is no longer the country of Ze in modern times. Is it changed by manpower, or is it because of climate change?" Zhiyao had a plan for building dams, and it was not Lao Tzu who came up with relevant ideas.

Building dikes and dams is not easy to repair. If you have enough manpower and material resources, you also need to know how to survey the terrain. Repairing in the right place will not only show the effect, but will inevitably result in more lakes formed by storing water. A land of fish and rice.

First of all, Zhiyao was able to complete the exploration in the shortest time because of Dou Ji's service, and then was able to complete a series of water conservancy projects.

Without Zheng Guo, it's not that Qin State couldn't build the canal, but the time they spent exploring and starting the project would definitely double; without Li Bing, it's hard to say whether Qin State could build the Chengdu River Weir.

A series of things only prove one point, no matter in what era, special talents always have their strategic value.

What surprised Zhiyao was Lao Tzu's attitude. Just because it can increase food production, Lao Tzu felt that it was a big business all of a sudden.

Does this incident show that Lao Tzu understands the saying "Food is paramount to the people", and Lao Tzu treats Jin people, Chu people, Qi people... anyway, they are all regarded as a part of Zhuxia, and they will not be just because of the completion of the water conservancy project Will it cause concerns about the great increase in Zhishi's strength?
Don't forget that Lao Tzu is a person who can write strategic books. It is impossible not to predict how many times his strength will increase once Zhi's plan is completed.

The strength of the Zhi family means that the strength of the state of Jin also increases, and the restored state of Jin will suppress the princes for an unknown number of years.

"Jin is an uncle, and the Central Plains is fortunate." Laozi gave Zhiyao the answer.

In Zhiyao's education, reading history and Ming history accounted for a large proportion. Combined with his own thinking, he could understand what Lao Tzu meant when he heard it.

During the stage of Jin's hegemony, the annexation of other countries became extremely slow, and the major change was only Qi's annexation of Lai.

That is to say, the Jin State took up the banner of helping the Zhou royal family maintain order, not only leading the princes to fight again and again with the Chu State who dared to aspire to the top, but actually ensuring that many weak and small countries would not be annexed by neighboring powers.

The situation in recent years seems to be proving that point. Jin's domestic chaos does not take care of the outside world. Chu State alone has destroyed two countries, and Cai State has also entered the pot arranged by Chu State to be stewed.

Laozi looked at Zhiyao with deep meaning, and said: "The Zhi family is strong, and Yao is in power, or it may be the luck of Zhuxia."

Zhiyao, who was originally looking at Lao Tzu's eyes, averted her gaze.

There is a proverb in Zhuxia called: A person becomes refined when he grows old.

Live for a long time, experience a lot of things, the old man has contact with so-and-so, and then look at that person's family background and strength, combined with that person's consistent performance, and then analyze from the limited speech, roughly can guess what is wrong. target.

The reason why Zhiyao looked away was purely a little guilty.

Lao Tzu, who is himself a master of management, has peeked into the future from Zhiyao's series of plans. Either the Zhi family was killed by the other noble families, or the Zhi family killed those noble families. Maybe the Zhi family He will also bring his allies to play together. In short, Zhiyao will definitely change the internal structure of Jin State greatly.

Of course, I also thought that the Zhi family would shine, and even thought that the Zhi family would want to replace the Jin Dynasty. Because there is no precedent for other levels, and the thinking has been solidified, I definitely did not think about Zhi Yao's completion of the unification. .

I can guess that the Zhi family replaced the Jin Dynasty, because there are related precedents, such as the Cheng Tang Wu Revolution and the Zhou Dynasty's replacement of business.

Chengtang destroyed Xia, and launched many new systems, which are the so-called revolutions.

The reason why it is said that Ji Zhou replaced Yin Shang is mainly because Ji Zhou also followed the line of "co-lord of the world" of Yin Shang.

They walked a lot of places, and when drawing the map of mountains and rivers, they marked out the low-lying places, and those places behind were the places where the water was stored to form lakes.

"With such a project, Zhishi will definitely be the best in the world." Dou Ji is old, but his drive is higher than Zhiyao's.

He also said: "Please send troops to 'Dongshan' to drive Di Rong away."

The full name of this "Dongshan" is "Dongshan Gaoluo Clan", and there is a branch of Dongshan Heidi entrenched there, they are a branch of Chidi.

How could Zhiyao miss this matter? To start a big project, it is impossible to forget that there are still a group of guys squatting around.

Zhiyao was more ruthless than Dou Ji, and said with a deadpan expression: "It's easy for Di Ren to do his work."

To dig a long canal, it would be good to catch Dongshan Heidi to work.

Zhiyao also set her sights on Changdi in the Lianghe area.

If it wasn't for Zhao Shi's hands on the passage to the north, Zhiyao would even focus on Qiu Youguo frantically.

We must know that starting a large-scale project not only requires huge manpower and material resources, but in fact, given the constraints of the current era, the death and injury caused by a large-scale project will be more serious.

People from other families can't stop dying, and with the arrest of those alien races, it doesn't matter whether they are farming or grazing after the canal is completed.

What?Alien people actually know how to farm?This is not surprising at all at present. Chi Di, Bai Di and various Rong people are both nomadic and agricultural, but the proportion of nomads is higher.

When they returned to "Handan" after inspecting a circle, Zhiyao wondered why Confucius and a group of horsemen were all there.

"My teacher left Chen and went to Cai, and I chased him for Chu." Zigong said with a pale face.

Regarding what happened in Cai Guo, relevant information has been sent to Zhiyao.

Zhiyao thought: "Chen Guo and Cai Guo are big-hearted and dare to let Kong Qiu enter with more than 2000 horses. Chu State is forcing the relocation of Cai people. There is such a team that can do it at any time, especially Confucius. It's still a big mouth in the world, how could it not be expelled!"

There is a reason to say that Confucius had a big mouth. The year before last, he went to Weiguo again, and was entertained by Nanzi, and then there were many embarrassing remarks for Weiguo.

Only Confucius and Nanzi were there at that time, and one of them must have told what happened. There is a very small probability that Nanzi spread the word, and it is more likely that Confucius spread it.

The state of Chu must have other concerns about expelling Confucius and his party. They are engaged in the cause of relocating Cai people, so it is impossible for such an armed gang to be on their side!

Zhiyao thought strangely in her heart: "They have had enough fun, come to my house to rest, right?"

Seems like a good thing though?

Lao Zhi's family was about to make a big move, and it was very appropriate for Confucius to bring a large group of people who could work!

This kind of thing made Zhiyao think "Am I the destiny?"
