Chapter 175: The Gongshu Clan Who Was Packed and Taken Away
If we should talk about Zhiyao's current condition, he really looks like a wretched young man.
There is no way, people will show it through their expressions in various moods. Zhiyao is really happy and has a mentality of getting what he wants. When he thinks that Gongshu's family will work for his family, he becomes overjoyed.
What's wrong with being obscene?
"There seems to be something wrong with this team?" Zhiyao is getting closer and closer.
When Taihu went to Lu, he only took two hundred people with him.
The team that returned from Lu to Jin definitely seemed to number more than a thousand people.
"The Crown Prince." Taihu looked very excited when he learned that Zhiyao had come to greet him in person. He greeted him first, then invited Gongshu Quan and introduced him: "This is the head of the Gongshu clan."
Zhiyao looked at the uncle in front of her who looked like a working man. Although she was a little confused, she still had a smile on her face and said, "I have worked hard all the way."
Gongshu Quan had just learned that the crown prince of the Zhi family had come to greet him in person. He felt that he had received great respect and saluted, "Meet the crown prince."
So, most of the people in the team belong to Gongshu's family? Looking at it this way, Gongshu's family can be considered to have a big business.
This is completely nonsense. It is not that the nobility has the conditions to engage in various researches. Moreover, the "family" is either because the ancestors were rich or the current head of the family has a fiefdom.
Gongshu is a surname, and their surname is Ji. Maybe they had their own feudal country a long time ago?
Zhiyao met some older people from the Gongshu family one after another. Both parties treated each other with courtesy, but the Gongshu family seemed more humble.
That's right. Let's not mention how they are in the Lu State. The Zhi family is one of the best families in the Jin State, and is one of the most powerful families in the entire Zhuxia.
Looking at the situation of the Gongshu family and their families, it can be seen that they are doing well in the Lu State. They have at least more than a thousand acres of farmland, and their income in terms of money and silk should also be good. Otherwise, how would they have seven or eight hundred people?
, it seems that each one is wearing well, and there is no excessive lack of nutrition.
"This trip relies a lot on the uncles and grandsons, and the prince will need to reciprocate the gift later." Taihu began to tell about his deeds in the state of Lu.
According to Taihu, they went to Lu State under the banner of the Zhi family of Jin State, and Sanhuan gave them excellent treatment and received greater cooperation in many matters.
Among them, the Shusun family was the most reasonable. When they learned that Taihu and his party were in Lu State to find the Gongshu family, they took over the task of finding the Gongshu family. As expected, they gave Taihu a reply half a month later.
"According to the prince's instructions, I personally met the head of the Gongshu clan and talked about the Zhi clan's construction of the city, which involved many things. With the help of Shusun clan, I recruited the Gongshu clan to come to Jin." Taihu said it simply, but the process is definitely complicated.
Much more.
Zhiyao was willing to pay a high price to recruit the Gongshu clan. At first, she only hoped that the whole Gongshu clan could move to Jin. She did not expect to succeed. She thought that it would be good if she could invite Gongshu Ban and a few Gongshu clan members with good skills.
Who would have thought that Shusun would have a hand in it.
"What does Uncle Sun want?" Zhiyao asked.
Taihu shook his head and said, "I don't know."
So the Shusun family has not made any request yet, and will raise it later in more formal diplomatic relations.
Zhiyao thought that coming here might have something to do with Qi State?
After all, the State of Lu is now controlled by Sanhuan. They must hope that the State of Lu will get better and better and will not easily engage in "demolition of houses".
The State of Lu had been attacked and plundered many cities by the State of Qi before, especially the Shusun family who lost the most. They must have hoped that the State of Jin could help recover some of the cities?
After receiving the message, the team should turn back in the direction of "Handan".
"Is there a plate at your feet?" Zhiyao looked at a thin and small boy and asked.
Ah? His name is Ban, which can also be pronounced as Pan. This is just because the pronunciations of "Ban" and "Pan" in Lu State are the same.
Gongshuban was quite confused about being invited to ride in the car by the Zhishi Crown Prince. Then he saw that Zhiyao looked at him in a strange way, and he was actually more scared than moved.
"From now on, if you live in my house, you can tell me if you need anything." Zhiyao saw the public transportation class's fear, so she expressed her kindness first, and the conversation turned to the concept of various gadgets.
Speaking of tools? Gongshu Ban was no longer afraid. He discussed a lot with Zhiyao along the way and discovered that many things had already been made by Zhiyao.
"The prince also has strange skills?" Gongshu Ban was full of surprise.
Zhiyao smiled and said: "The ancestors thought hard, which is why we are here today. One day we will also be the ancestors, how can we stop the exploration? Yao only knows that 'if a worker wants to do his job well, he must first sharpen his tools',
This is the way!"
Huh? According to the record of "The Analects of Confucius", "If a worker wants to do his job well, he must first sharpen his tools." This was said by Confucius. A bunch of unfilial disciples dared to talk about any strange and obscene skills, and they were not afraid that the master would rise from the grave.
Beat them to death.
However, after Confucianism has undergone repeated changes, even if Confucius rose from the grave and saw Confucian knowledge, his face would be full of confusion and he would curse: Damn it, those are not what I want to express at all!
Gongshu Ban was stunned when he heard the words, "If a worker wants to do his job well, he must first sharpen his tools." Then, with a solemn expression on his face, he saluted and said, "Your Majesty's words are great! They are indeed the way!"
Okay, Zhiyao can be considered as pretending and becomes full of joy.
As a time traveler, who doesn’t want to show off in front of a powerful person recorded in history? If you can successfully pretend, it will be difficult for outsiders to experience that sense of satisfaction.
After chatting all the way, Zhiyao finally knew one thing.
The Gongshu family is actually a family that has been helping people build cities since ancient times. They improve tools and create new tools. It is completely a family business, and it is the kind of thing that is passed down from generation to generation.
A long time ago, the Gongshu family not only helped the nobles build cities in the Lu State, but also traveled back and forth among the various princes. Gradually, it became more and more different with the times, and the Gongshu family's business only existed in the Lu State.
"The instruments used in 'Falling Three Capitals' were made by Zhong You in my family." Gongshu Ban told a big fact.
Zhiyao: I’m off!
No wonder then.
The Gongshu family knew how to build a city gate and knew how to build a city. How could they not know how to destroy a city?
Zilu used a lot of large equipment when he was doing "Falling the Three Capitals". Otherwise, he had to pull the city wall with his hands. How long would it take?
According to Gongshu Ban, the instrument manufactured by Gongshu Shibangzilu is a super-large hammer, which is supported by a vehicle body, and the hammer is suspended and can swing back and forth.
A city with a height of about eight meters and a wall about four meters thick was razed to the ground in less than half a month using more than twenty super-large battering rams, which is enough to show the Gongshu family's reliance on manufacturing equipment.
Spectrum level.
It took them more than twenty days to arrive in "Handan", and Zhiyao set aside a piece of land for the Gongshu family to settle down.
Not a single one of the subjects brought by the Gongshu clan still belonged to the Gongshu clan. Zhiyao even gave more than 300 young men as apprentices, and brought over nearly a thousand slaves, and there were countless other supplies.
"I don't dare to accept it even if I haven't done any good work." Gongshu Quan seemed rather frightened.
Zhiyao said: "Let's settle down first, then Gongshu will be able to serve him in the future."
The Gongshu family had just made a big move and were in the midst of a new start. It was better for them to settle in as soon as possible and not waste manpower on land reclamation. Otherwise, every second of delay would be a loss to the Zhi family.
The nearly a thousand slaves did nothing else. They were responsible for cultivating the farmland belonging to the Gongshu clan. They could also be used as laborers when the Gongshu clan needed to build houses or other things.
"When Quan comes, call Quan and Ban, and we will go to the place where the city is being built." The Quan Zhiyao mentioned was Gongshu Quan's legitimate son.
Then again, the Gongshu family is really a special family. Their head is not determined by blood, but by who has the best craftsmanship.
Perhaps it is precisely because of this that their family is constantly making progress, instead of falling into complacency?
"Dig canals to make waterways, then cover the ground?" Hearing this statement, Gongshuquan immediately understood what the purpose was, and his face was filled with the joy of harvesting.
Zhishi wants to build a city, right? With the current city-building habits, there are actually no sewers, so many cities will be abandoned after being inhabited for a long time.
There was only one reason why the city was abandoned, and that was because it stunk to the sky.
"This is a basin, and it is necessary to dig deep to get out the water. From Quan's point of view, building the city requires building a dam elsewhere..." Gongshuquan saw a smile on Zhiyao's face mid-sentence, and stopped with a puzzled look on his face.
Yes, yes, the location where the city was built is indeed not suitable for building a city based on the current environment.
Zhiyao also told Zhi's achievements last year, such as where to build dams and where lakes appeared.
"It's good for irrigation, but... if the enemy troops attack, it will be in serious danger." Gongshuban beeped in a low voice.
There is certainly nothing wrong with saying that.
Zhi built a dam and stored water. If the enemy wanted to attack with water, they could dig the dam.
Of course Zhiyao knows this, but how can you take advantage of all the good things in the world? Whatever you get, it will definitely bring risks.
The Zhi family can obtain hundreds of thousands of hectares of farmland east of "Handan", and the soil is very fertile. This is entirely due to long-term erosion, as well as the decay and precipitation of many complex substances, which has brought fertility to the soil. Almost every wetland has been transformed
, in fact, they are all like this.
Again, the reason why the capital is a capital must be the political center. Once the enemy reaches the political center of the country, it means that the country no longer has the strength to resist, or the people in power are so stupid that they will cling to death.
Are you waiting for the New Year?
Another point, where the Zhi family's capital will be in the future depends on how far Zhi Yao has expanded.
At this stage, Zhishi just needs a new city. It can be temporarily used as Zhiyao's home base, and it can also be transformed into an industrial center in the future, or even become a very ordinary city.
To put it bluntly, Zhiyao is only needed now. While using it to practice, it is also part of the implementation of the new policy.
If the Zhi family builds a new city next to "Handan", it does not necessarily have to be used as the future capital. The Zhi family can choose "Jinyang", "Linzi", or even "Luoyi" for its capital.
