Zhiyao has never liked Zhao Wushe. It is not necessarily true how much he hates him. He is simply afraid because he knows some "historical answers".
Now, many of Zhao Wuxie's actions have proven to be worthy of Zhiyao's fear. He is ruthless and vicious, and his courage far exceeds 99% of contemporary people.
"I'm thankful that I took the opportunity to remove the Zhao family from the Jin Kingdom. If I gave that guy a chance to operate with peace of mind, he would definitely become a poisonous snake hiding in the dark. Either he doesn't move, or he moves, which is the most dangerous moment for me.
." Zhiyao has already sent men to the north.
That area is currently the sphere of influence of Lou Fan, but Lou Fan has no co-owner, and the tribes are not at peace with each other. Generally speaking, it is hard to say whether they identify as the same ethnic group.
Zhiyao summoned Cheng Wu and said, "I will give you three thousand cavalry. Look for Zhao's traces and go north. If you find them, look for opportunities to attack."
Cheng Wu didn't understand why Zhiyao wanted to hold on to Zhao, but he still responded respectfully: "No!"
Zhiyao added: "Loufan is afraid of me. You can make him fear me, and you can also make him aware of me."
Lou Fanren got involved in several wars in the Jin Kingdom, and was beaten badly without any accident.
It was precisely because of the Jin people's fighting skills that Lou Fan was afraid that Zhao Wuxie was able to easily form alliances with several Lou Fan tribes after he went to Dai.
Now, the Zhi family must make Lou Fanren understand that once they get together with the Zhao family, they will become the targets of the Zhi family, and they will also use practical actions to tell those Lou Fanren why the Zhi family has become the most powerful person recognized by the Jin State.
The family is one of the most powerful families in the world today.
That's right, as a family unit, the Zhi family is indeed the most powerful one, and is even much more powerful than many countries.
The Zhi clan successively annexed Qiuyou State, Zhongshan State and Wei State, increasing the population by about 400,000. Later, they captured two-fifths of the territory of Qi State, increasing the population by about 350,000.
At present, the total population of Zhishi is about 2.5 million. There is a hidden danger in whether the population that will be increased through annexation will return.
It's hard to measure the human heart. You still need to test it again and again to get something right, but it will also appear to be very unreasonable, because the human heart is inherently fickle. You may be loyal one moment and betrayed the next moment.
Of course, the population of 2.5 million is an estimate by Zhiyao, and the data is definitely not that accurate, and it is actually difficult to be accurate.
"Four years ago, we began to use military merits to reward land, which will definitely usher in a wave of baby boom. If we continue to divide the land, we will have enough to eat and think about sex, and there will definitely be a new baby boom." Zhiyao did not use administrative orders to encourage births.
, it’s not that I don’t want to, it’s that I simply don’t dare.
Just encourage childbirth without any other guarantee? What will happen will not be a baby boom, but an inhumane disaster.
In the current era, unless the people in the Jin Kingdom have reached the level of "disciple" or are barbarians, Li Shu needs their family to ensure food and drink.
So here comes the question, Li Shu... or the people of the family, it is true that they are creating income, but they are also consuming. Should we control the population based on the annual grain harvest, so as to avoid the basic food supply being unable to be guaranteed?
What is very embarrassing is that not everyone can be used as a soldier. Once they become a soldier, they are almost out of production. They usually need to practice their killing skills, and they have to be gathered together from time to time to teach them to obey orders. They have to practice military formations, that is.
Even if the family launches wars from time to time, the family can also collect taxes from them. Without additional income, they may not be able to support family expenses.
Don't look at Zhiyao who has repeatedly gathered hundreds of thousands of troops. It is actually just to scare people. If we really want to drag them out to fight, it will not take two years. Believe it or not, Zhiyao himself will collapse first?
Just look at the actual number of troops Zhiyao used many times. The most he used was 120,000, and the duration was no more than four months. This means that the limit of the Zhiyao's recruitment of 120,000 troops to maintain combat status is probably
That's four months.
That is the limitation of productivity, and it proves that many people can become soldiers. The terrible thing is that the materials produced cannot keep up, and it will not last long, and the tragedy of self-collapse will occur.
The Zhi family is much better than other families. For example, when the Wei family dispatched the most 80,000 troops, it only lasted three months. Obviously, recruiting 80,000 soldiers to fight for three months was also the limit of the Wei family.
"It's a pity that Jin can't follow Lu's route, and Lu's route... doesn't seem to be advisable." Zhiyao looked a little stunned when she saw a document.
The Lu State was the same as the Jin State before. Those who were not barbarians were under the rule of the family. They also produced for the family and also relied on the family to provide livelihood security.
Later, when the State of Lu carried out reforms, they introduced the well-field system and began to divide fields among the Chinese, and then gradually spread to all groups except savages.
In less than thirty years, the well-field system in the State of Lu has turned into an inexplicable situation. A large number of homesteaders have become subjects of a certain family. Not only have people become slaves, but the land has also become the name of a certain family.
Of course, it was a kind of annexation. Whether it was the use of force or some other means, it left sufficient experience of land annexation to the powerful gentry of later generations.
Zhiyao was able to confirm that the Lu State was not using natural disasters to create man-made disasters. It was simply that the current climate in the Central Plains was tropical, which was probably similar to that of Guangdong and Guangxi in later generations. The difference was that it would snow in winter.
There is no shortage of rain in the tropical climate, and it even snows in winter, so how can agriculture be so bad? If God gives us face, there will naturally be no bad years.
Therefore, it is really rare to see records of disasters in the Spring and Autumn Period in history books.
In the past, we played a "gentlemen's war" mode, which did not cause massacres of common people, and did not destroy production facilities. In some bad years, taxes were increased, and in worse cases, they were arranged to compensate the victor and become slaves.
Times are changing, and the pattern of war has changed. It has become normal for wars to affect the common people, but no one has done anything like staring at the destruction of production facilities in other countries.
The document Zhiyao saw just now mentioned the news that Gubu Ziqing had committed suicide.
Such a person who stirred up the situation in a certain period of time, and could even be said to have made history, ended his life by hanging himself.
To say that Gubuziqing made history is because he recommended Zhao Wuxie to the throne.
In the original history, Zhao Wuxie replaced Zhao Bolu and became the head of the Zhao family. He spent his whole life hiding in the dark and keeping an eye on the Zhi family. Anyway, whatever Zhi Yao wanted to do was destruction, which caused great trouble for Zhi Yao to restore the hegemony of the Jin state.
, later he simply knocked Zhi Yao down, and then led the Wei family and Han family to divide the Zhi family, and then became the chief director to split the Jin Dynasty.
In this version of history, Zhao Wuxie still caused a lot of troubles after replacing Zhao Bolu, and his vitality was a bit tenacious. He was targeted by Zhiyao so many times in a row, but he still wasn't finished.
Zhiyao expressed his emotions for a moment, then saw another document that needed attention.
This document was jointly signed by the Wei family and the Han family. The Wei family was willing to give the "Yin" land and the "Lv" land to the Zhi family, while the Han family offered the "mulberry picking" land to the Zhi family.
As a conscience of heaven and earth, Zhiyao did not ask for fiefs from the Wei or Han families. They had also exchanged fiefs before, so they did not ask for the Wei and Han families in vain.
The Zhi family's current fiefdom is large enough. After the Fan family and the Zhongxing family were removed from the relatively important Shangdang area, Zhi Yao strongly requested Zhi Song to grab it. However, he did not grab it at the time. Later, Zhi Yao used the replacement when the Zhao family was removed.
The method is obtained from Han's exchange.
Other areas? In terms of strategic locations, Zhishi does not need the Fenshui Corridor. At the same time, Weiguo is placed in "Mo" as a buffer. Are there any strategic locations in other border areas?
"What are the Wei and Han families doing?" Zhiyao didn't believe that Wei Ju and Han Geng would give away fiefdoms without any purpose.
The "Yin" land and the "Lv" land are currently surrounded by the Zhi family, and can be regarded as an enclave of the Wei family in the northern part of Jin. As long as the Zhi family has no intention of targeting the Wei family, being an enclave is nothing at all.
It is even more inexplicable that the Han family sent "mulberry picking". It is clear that the Mingzhi family has transferred the core of the family to "Handan" and "Ye" cities. There are signs of abandonment there, so there is no need to add a connected fiefdom.
The Wei family and the Han family wanted to give away land, but they did not ask for any exchange, saying it was a gift.
So here comes the question, the Zhi family didn’t ask for anything, let alone behaved arrogantly towards the Wei family and the Han family. What was their purpose, or what were they afraid of?
"Is it possible to give gifts first and then ask for help against Zheng and Qin?" What Zhiyao knew was that the Han family's western expedition this year had no results, and the Wei family's southern expedition had nothing to gain.
Winter is coming soon, and Zhiyao has enough patience to wait until Wei Ju and Han Geng return to "Xintian" to meet and talk again.
To be honest, Zhiyao is still very happy that several powerful families have their own targets, so as not to stare at each other and focus on how to cause trouble for each other, which can easily turn into a big war accidentally.
In less than thirty years, the Jin State has experienced two major civil wars. If it happens again, the Jin State Office will fight "GG".
Before winter, Wei Ju and Han Geng returned to "Xintian" one after another.
After Zhiyao waited for both of them to come back, he invited them to go to a mountain outside the city to enjoy the cold weather together.
This is because Zhiyao is sensible and knows clearly not to reconfirm their mutual attitudes and not to invite the head of the family to their home.
"Yao has another heir, but I haven't even had time to congratulate him."
"The Zhi family added Daidai land and gave the land of 'Yin' and 'Lv' as a congratulation."
Wei Ju, who came first, was all smiles when he saw Zhiyao.
Of course Zhi Yao greeted him with a smile, stood up and greeted him, and then invited Wei Ju to sit down in the shed together.
Later, Han Geng, who arrived later, also said some words of congratulations, and also said that the gift of "mulberry picking" was also for the purpose of congratulations.
Winter is approaching, and even though the climate in Jin is currently warm, the wind is still full of coolness.
Of course, when the three of them met, they first reminisced about old times and talked about some of their experiences last year. They seemed to be having a great time.
After waiting and feeling that the atmosphere was about to get better, Zhiyao took the lead in talking about the topic and said: "How dare you accept the gift before you have achieved anything?"
In short, it's not that Zhiyao doesn't want to increase the fiefdom, there must be a suitable reason to avoid going down the old path of "Zhiyao"!
