Chapter 352 It can be a big thing or a small thing
One of Zhi's second five-year plans was to build canals.
Regarding canal construction, Dou Ji had already done on-the-spot exploration and drawn up relevant plans.
However, the old Dou Ji fell ill after completing a lap and finishing the plan with his old body, and died of the illness half a month later.
Dou Ji's death was an unimaginable loss to the Zhi family and directly caused uncertainty in the second five-year plan.
The Zhi family gave Dou Ji great honor and privilege, and treated his descendants favorably.
A group of people who followed Dou Yi to make the second five-year plan also received preferential treatment. Among them, the more outstanding ones Dou Zhen, Dou Pin, and Dou Shuo took over some of Dou Yi's classes respectively.
"If the project is completed, my family will be able to increase their farmland by one million acres," Zhiyao said.
Zhishen, who had seen the relevant plan, already knew the answer. He couldn't help but take a breath when he heard it again. The strong sense of expectation made his spirit extremely exciting.
Zhiyao added: "Wei's family is facing south and Han's is facing west. Even if we have leisure, it is difficult to shake my family. It's time to start the project again."
Zheng is not that easy to deal with. Just a "Xin Zheng" is enough to give Wei a headache.
In the past, the Jin State dispatched three legions to besiege "Xinzheng", and there were seven or eight younger brothers accompanying them, but they were unable to actually threaten the strong city of "Xinzheng".
"Jinyang" built by the Zhao family is said to be a fortified city. Compared with "Xinzheng", the difference between it and "Xinzheng" is almost the same as that of a child and an adult.
Let’s put it this way? The outer city wall of Xinzheng, the capital of the Zheng Kingdom, is 13 meters high and six meters thick. In addition to the first outer city wall, there are eight walls going inside. The minimum height of each city wall is not less than four meters.
, the palace city was also built directly on the top of the mountain.
In today's small world, apart from "Xinzheng", there is really no other city with this kind of defense, which shows how ferocious it is.
The "Jinyang" built by the Zhao family is only a city wall with a height of 12 meters and a thickness of 6 meters, and there is only one city wall. What is stupid about them is that there is a mountain in the west that can overlook the city. They chose such a location, and there are still many buildings in the city.
What secrets are there?
God knows what Mr. Zhao was thinking.
However, considering that the current military strategist is only a prototype, and there is only one "Confucian" among hundreds of schools, it is most likely that the behavior that some "understanding people" think is stupid is a common thing.
Or else, latecomers generally stand on the shoulders of giants? Those who are successful can learn from it; the mistakes made by people in the past are recorded or summarized, and even if the people behind do not know the correct answer, they can at least avoid the wrong answer.
Zhiyao didn't know how many years it took the Han family to destroy Zheng and attack "Xinzheng" in history.
For such a strong city, the premise is that the people's hearts are not in chaos, and the attacking side will definitely have to pay a very heavy price if they want to take it!
Judging from all the intelligence obtained by Zhiyao, Zheng Guo is not united as one at the moment. At least there are no signs of civil strife in Zheng Guo. If Wei wants to capture Zheng Guo in a short time, he must first study clearly how to conquer "New Zheng".
As for the Han family? It's a bit difficult for them to deal with Bai Zhai. The Qin State, which obviously knows the truth of lips and teeth, will not just sit back and watch Bai Zhai perish.
Therefore, the Han family is also unable to solve the west side in a short time. Even if the Hu family is involved, the future is still uncertain.
The Wei family and the Han family both have their own unfinished business, and they cannot interfere with the Zhi family. The Zhi family needs Qi to cause chaos for a while. Isn't it the best time for Zhi Yao to launch the second five-year plan?
Another spring season has arrived.
Zhiyao came to "Ye" and before settling in the city, he summoned some people from the Gongshu and Dou clans.
"Lu Ban...Gongshu Ban is here, but Mozi is there?" Zhiyao thought to himself.
Mozi is not Mozi now. If he had to be called Mozi, he would still be called Mu Zhai.
The current pronunciation is different from that of later generations. Chen Tongtian, Mu Tongmo, and Mu Zhai are Mozi.
Zhiyao knew that Mozi was born in the Song Dynasty. He sent people to look for him, but there was no Mozi.
This is because Zhiyao didn't know Mozi's original surname, so he directly asked Mozi to look for him. He would definitely not be able to find him.
In addition, the Mu family is a descendant of the Yin and Shang Dynasties. After the late Spring and Autumn Period, even though the Mu family was a member of the Song Dynasty's duke clan at first, it later became a relatively ordinary family of a noble family.
Now in the Song Dynasty, not only does the Mo family not exist, but there is also no Mu family. To put it simply, the Mu family was expelled due to some things and no longer has the status of a noble.
At present, Mozi has been born, and he is indeed in the Song Dynasty, but he is a non-aristocratic without a "family name".
No longer a noble, but able to have resources to spend in the future? This shows that Mozi's father still left a relatively generous estate.
There was a huge crowd, and Lian was wrong. No matter how many resources Zhiyao had at his disposal, unless it was a coincidence, he would definitely not be able to find Mozi.
Gongshu's people are coming.
Later, Dou's people also arrived.
Because his identity was related to something else, Zhiyao couldn't go out to greet them no matter how much he valued them, otherwise he would harm them.
"Zongzi!"
They waited for everyone to gather before being led by Yu Rang to Zhiyao's side. After greeting each other in order, they were signaled to find a seat and sit down.
Zhiyao looked at them and thought: "There seems to be no Gongjia among the hundreds of schools. The hundreds of schools don't mean there are a hundred schools of thought, it just means 'philosophers'."
That's right, there really is no Gong family or Shui family among the hundreds of schools. There are classifications, but the divisions were made by later generations. The people who created those schools didn't know it themselves at all, and they couldn't classify them in such detail.
Zhiyao asked about the plan for the water canal.
At this time, it was time for Dou's people to come on the stage, and based on the situation they had grasped and the plan on how to start the project, it was not in a long and lengthy way, but mainly in a short and clear way that Zhiyao could understand.
Zhiyao only has a general understanding of water conservancy.
In fact, Zhiyao only knows enough. The actual start of the project is to act as a supervisor, and the actual work is other people's business.
"On the day when the aqueduct is completed, Dou Zi will be given a posthumous title!" Zhiyao said with a clear voice.
Posthumous titles? In the current era, the emperor and the princes must have posthumous titles, and some "qing" can also have posthumous titles. Anyway, officials are not qualified to have posthumous titles.
The Dou family members were stunned when they heard this, and immediately cried and thanked Zhiyao for his kindness.
If you want a horse to run, you have to let it eat grass.
Zhiyao directly gave the Dou family a quick step, and was not afraid that they would fail to do their best.
Of course, the most important thing is that Zhiyao knows the importance of the water conservancy family. Whether a country has a great water conservancy family is directly linked to the sky and the earth.
What is water conservancy? Without going into too many details, agriculture must be related, right? There is a family that is extremely good at water conservancy projects. Just ask the monarch if he knows how to use it, will the country's agriculture be guaranteed and even surpass the princes?
?
What Zhiyao didn't know was that Dou Ji's achievement was to become a Marquis. Marquis, this kind of treatment was not even given to Zhiyao in the original history.
It's just that Dou Ji was posthumously named Marquis of Yingji only in the era of Da Zang.
As for the reason why Da Ting pursued Dou Ji? Let’s understand why Da Ting cultivated paddy fields on the south bank of the Yellow River in order to defend the Liao Kingdom when it went south.
Is the purpose of paddy fields to be used to defend against the enemy? Let’s not mention whether it is useful or not. Just having this brain circuit is really awesome!
The Gongshu Ban looked at the Dou family members who were beaming with envy.
Is there a posthumous title? That is the biggest difference between people.
Posthumous titles are not a bad thing. People who have had posthumous titles since ancient times, who got them because of their contributions? They are all benefits brought by being reborn in a good pregnancy.
Zhiyao asked the Dou family members to step back first, and then looked at the Gongshu family members.
Some people think that they have reached the pinnacle of life after completing something, but little do they know that there will be new pinnacles waiting for them in the future.
"As soon as the project starts, Gongshu is indispensable." Zhiyao said.
The people of the Gongshu clan immediately looked solemn.
Mr. Dou has experience and good ideas. Experience and ideas alone are not enough. Does the project require various tools? The more convenient the tools, the better? This requires the contribution of Mr. Gongshu.
The Gongshu family who came to Jin State were from the same family as the Gongshu family in Lu State. However, their achievements in Lu State were very limited, but it was different when they came to Jin State and had the Zhi family's huge resources to provide research.
Zhiyao explained a lot of things, mainly hoping that the Gongshu family could cooperate with the Dou family sincerely, prepare all the necessary tools, and use their brains to design the necessary tools when trouble comes, so that together they can complete various projects to the best of their ability.
"With this alone, the Gongshu clan can leave its name in history." Zhiyao said.
Nobles can actually leave traces in their country's history books, but they usually only record them when they die, not even a single record in their lifetime.
That canal has not yet been built, but it already has a name, it is called Dou Ji Canal. This alone is enough for the Dou family to dedicate their lives to the Zhi family. Adding an additional posthumous title will force the Dou family to work for the Zhi family from generation to generation.
Of course, even if you are a cow or a horse, there is still a hierarchy between cows and horses.
Again, Zhiyao really knows the importance of the water conservancy family. If the Dou family does not fall for a day, they deserve to enjoy some due treatment.
Gongshu's family is also important, but it's difficult for Zhiyao to give him super-standard treatment at once.
Zhiyao was discussing with people from the Gongshu clan when his husband came over to ask for a meeting and handed over a sealed box.
Gongshuquan hesitated for a moment and asked for instructions: "A great undertaking cannot be accomplished in a day, shall we retire first?"
A sealed box? It’s used to store information.
Then when my husband suddenly came over, I had enough emotional intelligence to know that I should leave.
Zhiyao does not need to check whether the box has been opened or not. Professionals will confirm it first.
Now that the box is in Zhiyao's hands, it at least proves that it hasn't been opened yet.
Of course, Zhiyao will not open the box himself in the end, Yu Rang will do the work. Such a process is very particular, that is, if you are not afraid of ten thousand, you are afraid of just in case. What you are afraid of is poisoning after opening it, or something else.
The thing sprays out.
The information in the box was sent to Zhiyao, and it contained the information that Confucius died of illness.
"Dead? This..." Zhiyao was not sure whether Confucius lived a few more years or what.
According to the original history, Confucius died of illness in 479 BC.
The current time is 477 BC.
"The disciples must go back to attend the funeral. Should I let them go and not come back again, or..."
It’s really not something you use and throw away!
Zhiyao was only beaten a few times...
I'm adjusting my thinking, and the next chapter should be between ten and eleven o'clock. By the way, please vote for me.
