Several high-ranking families in the Jin Kingdom were either going to war or preparing to go to war. Only the Zhi family was able to take a breather due to the special situation. If they didn't take advantage of this opportunity to develop quickly, they would be struck by lightning.
The plan made by Zhiyao is too big to be hidden from other families. They are envious, but they can't have the death of a family head, right?
The Zhao family and the Wei family continued to play with the Fan family. There was no so-called main battlefield among the three parties. The Zhao family continued to besiege the "Wen" area, while the Wei family attacked one area after another.
They have been fighting like this for more than a year. The Fan family is not the worst offender as the passive defensive party, but the worst is the Wei family who has to chew hard bones. The Zhao family seems to be relatively relaxed among the three families.
However, Shijishe had already gone south to seduce Chu as expected.
If King Zhen of Chu did not go on a personal expedition, Shi Jishe who went south would have gone to the "Ying" capital of Chu State.
In addition, because the Chu State surrendered in the struggle for hegemony, they were crowned king internally and externally. This was Zhao Wu's achievement, but he did not do it thoroughly.
In recent years, the State of Chu has accomplished a lot, and has annexed the State of Dun and the State of Hu successively. Among them, the State of Dun has long been meat in the bowl of the State of Chu, while the State of Hu took the initiative to attack the State of Chu and was killed by the counterattack;
The Cai State, which was infiltrated by the Chu State, chose to surrender as soon as the Chu soldiers arrived. However, the Cai State did not perish. They were moved further south by the Chu State.
From 496 BC to 491 BC, the Chu State destroyed two countries, and the Cai State also perished without being destroyed, adding new achievements to its own merit list, and properly occupying the first position in the number of deaths in the Spring and Autumn Period.
After Zhiyao knew that the Chu State had made such big moves in the past few years, she understood that the Chu State was recovering blood from the small country, and she was even more sure that Wu Zixu did not exhume the dried and whipped corpse of the King of Chu in the tomb.
The truth lies there. There are no rumors that Wu Zixu dug up graves and whipped corpses, and Chu State did not fight Wu State with all its strength.
What if the King of Chu was really whipped to death? It would be unreasonable for Chu State not to take revenge!
Because of related needs, Zhiyao came to a place called Jize.
Zhiyao had conducted an inspection before and knew that "Jiashi" north of Jize...or "Jiashi" north of "Quliang" was a densely swampy place.
They came here not for re-confirmation, but Dou Yi, who was over seventy years old, wanted to conduct on-site inspections. The Lao Zhi family needed to rely on Dou Yi, an old man, and out of respect, Zhi Yao had to accompany him no matter what.
Also coming with me was Lao Tzu. He was still waiting for Zhishi to finish printing the books. When he learned that Zhishi was going to build a water conservancy project around "Handan", he thought it was a great event and offered to come and help.
.
Therefore, I am now a guest of the Zhi family in terms of status.
It should be said that the boss is indeed a boss. After a round of inspection, I gave Zhiyao a very reliable suggestion.
"By building dams based on the terrain and cutting off the harm caused by water flow, 'Jia' can cultivate thousands of acres of fertile land in less than ten years." Laozi said.
This "ten thousand acres" is an imaginary number, just like the "three thousand feet" flying down three thousand feet.
Zhu Xia is like this. He always likes to modify things when it comes to numbers. He never thought that doing so would annoy future generations of elementary and middle school students.
The climate of the current Jin State is not that different from that of Guangdong in later generations, and the rainy season is much longer than that of later generations. In addition, some mountains and rivers have different landforms, resulting in the Hebei part of Jin State being like a Ze country.
In fact, with nearly 2,500 years apart, it is not surprising that the regional climates are different, and it is even more normal for the mountains, rivers, landforms and environment to be different.
"From the riverside to modern times, it is no longer a country. Is it due to changes in manpower or climate change?" Zhiyao had already planned to build dams, and it was not Laozi who proposed it that he had relevant ideas.
Building dams is not something you can just do if you want to. You have to have enough manpower and material resources, and you also need to know how to survey the terrain. Building them in the right place will not only show the effect, but it will also inevitably cause more lakes to be formed by storing water.
A land of plenty.
First of all, Zhiyao obtained the service of Dou Yi and was able to complete the exploration in the shortest time, and then had the ability to complete a series of water conservancy projects.
Without Zheng Guo, Qin State would not be unable to build the canal, but the time it would take them to explore and start the project would definitely double. Without Li Bing, it is hard to say whether Qin State could build Dujiangyan.
A series of events only prove one thing: no matter what era it is, specialized talents always have strategic value.
What surprised Zhiyao was Lao Tzu's attitude. Just because it could increase food production, I suddenly felt that it was a big undertaking.
Does this incident show that I understand the saying "food is the first priority for the people", and that I regard Jin people, Chu people, Qi people... Anyway, they are all regarded as part of the Zhuxia, and they will not be affected by the completion of the water conservancy project.
Will it cause concerns about Zhi's increased strength?
Don't forget that I am a person who can write strategic-level works. It is impossible not to predict how many times the strength will increase once Zhishi's plan is completed.
As the Zhi family becomes stronger, the strength of the Jin State will also increase. The restored Jin State will have to suppress the princes for who knows how many years.
"It is a blessing for the Central Plains to be the uncle of Jin Dynasty." I gave Zhiyao the answer.
In Zhiyao's education, reading history and Ming history accounted for a large proportion. Combining his own thoughts, he could understand what Laozi meant as soon as he heard it.
During the Jin State's hegemony stage, the annexation of other countries became extremely slow, and the only thing that caused major changes was Qi's annexation of Lai.
In other words, the Jin State took up the banner of helping the Zhou royal family to maintain order. It not only led the princes to fight repeatedly against the Chu State who dared to challenge the throne, but also ensured that many weak and small countries would not be annexed by surrounding powers.
The situation in recent years seems to prove that point. The internal chaos in Jin did not take care of the outside world. The state of Chu alone destroyed two countries, and the state of Cai also entered the pot arranged by the state of Chu to stew.
Lao Tzu looked at Zhiyao with profound eyes and said: "It may be the fortune of the Xia Dynasties that the Zhi family is strong and that Yao is in power."
Zhiyao, who was looking into my eyes, looked away.
There is a proverb in Zhuxia: People become better with age.
The longer you live, the more things you have experienced. If you come into contact with someone, you can look at that person’s family background and strength, combine that person’s consistent performance, and then analyze from limited speech, you can roughly guess what’s going on.
Target.
The reason why Zhiyao looked away was simply because she felt guilty.
I am a big boss in management. He has already glimpsed the future from Zhiyao's series of plans. Either the Zhi family was jointly beaten to death by other high-ranking families, or the Zhi family beat those high-ranking families to death. Maybe the Zhi family
He will also bring his allies to play together. In short, Zhiyao will definitely greatly change the internal structure of Jin.
Of course, I also thought that the Zhi family would shine, and even expected that the Zhi family would want to succeed the Jin Dynasty. Since there is no precedent for other levels, and the thinking has been solidified, I definitely did not think about Zhi Yao's attempt to complete the unification.
.
I can guess that the Zhi family replaced the Jin Dynasty because there were related precedents, such as the Chengtang-Wu Revolution and the Zhou Dynasty acting as the Shang Dynasty.
Chengtang destroyed Xia and launched many new systems, which is the so-called revolution.
The reason why it is said that Ji Zhou replaced the Yin Shang Dynasty is mainly because Ji Zhou also followed the Yin Shang Dynasty's "co-lordship of the world" route.
They traveled to many places. When drawing mountains and rivers, they marked the low-lying places. The places behind them were where water would be stored to form lakes.
"With such a project, Zhi will definitely be the best in the world." Dou Ji is older, but his motivation is higher than Zhiyao.
He added: "Please send troops to Dongshan to drive Di Rong away."
The full name of this "Dongshan" is "Dongshan Gaoluo Clan". There is a group of Dongshan Black Di who live there. They are a branch of Red Di.
How could Zhiyao miss this matter? If a big project is to be launched, it is impossible to forget that there are a group of guys squatting next to it.
Zhiyao was even more ruthless than Dou Ji, and said expressionlessly: "It's easy for Di people to work hard."
We need to dig a long canal, and it would be good to catch the black deer from Dongshan to do the work.
Zhiyao also set her sights on Chang Di in the Two Rivers area.
If the passage to the north was not in Zhao's hands, Zhiyao would have even set her sights on Qiu Youguo frantically.
We must know that starting a large project not only requires huge manpower and material resources, but actually, given the limitations of the current era, the casualties caused by large projects will be relatively serious.
People from other families will die endlessly, plus those foreigners are captured. Once the canal is built, it will be useful for farming or grazing.
What? A foreign race can actually farm? This is not surprising at all at present. Red Di, Bai Di and various Rong people are both nomadic and farming, but the proportion of nomadic is larger.
When they returned to "Handan" after an inspection tour, Zhiyao was very puzzled as to why Confucius and a bunch of horses were there.
"My master left Chen and went to Cai to chase Chu." Zigong said with a livid face.
Regarding what happened in Cai Guo, relevant information has been sent to Zhiyao.
Zhiyao thought: "Chen and Cai are so big-hearted that they dare to let Confucius enter the country with more than 2,000 cavalry. The Chu State is forcibly relocating the Cai people, and there is such a team that can do it at any time, especially Confucius."
Qiu is still the loudmouth in the world, how could he not be expelled?"
There is a reason to say that Confucius is a big talker. The year before last, he went to Weiguo again and was entertained by Nanzi. Later, he made many remarks that embarrassed Weiguo.
There were only Confucius and Nanzi around at that time, and one of them must have told what happened. There is a very small chance that it was Nanzi who spread the news, but it is more likely that Confucius spread it. It would be strange if he didn't get the reputation of being a big mouth.
The State of Chu must have had other concerns when expelling Confucius and his party. They were engaged in migrating the Cai people, and there was no way they could have such an armed group on their side!
Zhiyao thought strangely in her heart: "They have had enough fun and come to my house to rest, right?"
However, it seems like a good thing?
The Lao Zhi family was about to make a big move, so Confucius came with a large group of capable people. It was perfect!
This kind of thing made Zhiyao think, "Am I destined to be destined?"
