Chapter 381: Wait a minute, I'll hold back a big move
The Qin people showed their ferocious side a long time ago, otherwise how could they have been able to carry so many foreign tribes in the west alone, not being destroyed, but also growing stronger day by day.
The people of Qin have always been very cruel and have no bottom line. What they lack is just a more advanced management system.
This is not to slander the Qin State. The first organized and large-scale massacre of civilians in history was the Qin State.
It’s not about the massacre of 400,000 Zhao troops after the Battle of Changping. It’s about the Qin army’s invasion of Jin more than 600 years ago, and the Qin army’s large-scale massacre of Wei’s subjects.
As for what happened next? Whether it was the Qin State before the Reform or the Qin State after the Reform, which of the expeditions did not involve killing all the way without distinction?
While people in later generations praised the Qin Army for its awesomeness, they did not know how many civilians died under the Qin Army's butcher's knives and became the heads of the Qin Army's soldiers in exchange for titles. It really corresponds to the sentence "The prey of ligers and tigers gain prestige, but it is pitiful."
Who can pity the elk?"
Zhiyao insisted that unless Qin moved eastward with force, things in the west would have little to do with the Zhi family.
In fact, the current Qin State simply does not have the strength to march eastward. Even if they enter the territory of the Jin State, they will at most enter the territory of the Han family or the Hu family and wreak havoc. Soon the Wei family will be on top, and it will not be their turn.
Chishi goes to worry about it.
After Zhiyao excused himself that he had not finished his work in "Puyang" and could not return to "Xintian" in a short time, Wei Ju, who understood Zhiyao's polite refusal, smiled bitterly and stopped mentioning the matter.
Maybe, just maybe, Wei Ju still wishes that Zhishi wouldn't intervene?
The internal structure of the Jin State is simple yet complex, and there is no doubt that the Zhi family is the only one. The Wei family and the Han family might have united long ago if they were not worried that one move would affect their entire lives.
So, having more cooperation is actually a good thing for both the Wei family and the Han family?
In this world, except for parents, who has the obligation to take care of us all the time?
At present, the Zhi family, the Wei family and the Han family are allies, but they are a kind of alliance that has divided the direction of expansion. It is really not the kind of mutual help model.
The Wei family wanted to help the Han family, just because if the Han family couldn't stand it, the Wei family would suffer. They all had their own needs, and it had nothing to do with responsibilities or obligations.
Of course, the evolution of the situation is that if you are willing to help, it is a favor, and if you don't want to help, it has nothing to do with anything else. It just depends on each person's choice.
After Sun Wu learned about the situation, he said: "My eldest son, if you are like this, the Wei family and the Han family may get closer and closer."
Friendship between people is cultivated from contact again and again. Today you help me, and tomorrow I will help you again. Mutual trust is easily generated when we interact with each other, and we get closer and closer to each other.
Of course Zhiyao understands that truth, and he also knows that based on the actual situation and the fiefdom positions of several families, the Wei family and the Han family will either become more and more conflicted, or their cooperation will become closer and closer.
Therefore, unless the Zhi family is the Wei family or the Han family, they help every time something happens, otherwise if they don't help once, things will take a new turn.
How should I put it? If Mr. Zhi helps every time, does Wei or Han's father say separately, how much should he pay?
Furthermore, even if the Zhi family helps the Han family or the Wei family time and time again when they are in trouble, can they really get anything in return from the Han family or the Wei family?
If it were an individual, Zhiyao would really dare to hope that he would be able to repay his kindness; when he rose to the level of a family, it was never about kindness, but about needs. To measure the extent of help, it was about personal interests.
The feelings are the most inconsequential.
So what is the situation? Zhiyao knows very well that the Zhi family will not always be able to help the Han family or the Wei family in time. Instead of enjoying the bad thing of helping many times and being complained or even resented for not helping once, it is better to start from the beginning Just show absolute rationality, help when it's critical, and save the rest of the time.
It is obvious that the Han family is not in such a critical condition that the Zhi family cannot survive without help. What they want is the national power to continue to weaken the Qin State, so that the Han family's attack on the west will be less difficult.
What I have to say is that the Han family's ideas are very beautiful and they are very similar to the Que family and the Zhao family. However, they do not have the strength of the Que family or the Zhao family and cannot force various families in the country to help with idle work.
Zhiyao glanced at the palace left by Wei Ting, feeling a little disgusted that it was too small and had too many decorations that did not conform to the aesthetics of Jin people.
Of course, Zhiyao did not live in the palace city of "Puyang".
Even if the Chi family is so powerful, they should not do some things that cannot be done, such as living in Miyagi.
To be honest, let alone the original palace city of Wei State that could not attract Zhiyao, even the palace city of Jin State was very unattractive to Zhiyao.
No one has yet mentioned the era of "no majesty without magnificence". The palaces and cities in various countries are basically the same. They may have more palaces than other residences and some additional facilities, from buildings to The layout is actually not that great.
Take the palace city of Weiguo as an example. It seems to cover an area a bit large. Except for a small number of palaces with rammed earth walls and rubble roofs, most of the buildings are actually more ordinary thatched houses.
There are a limited number of palaces whose main material is wood. Perhaps due to the underdeveloped construction technology, the indoor space appears relatively narrow.
What is special about the palace? At most, there are some bronzes that were not removed from the Weiguo Office, such as the copper lampstands mounted on the walls and the copper screen placed behind the throne in the meeting hall.
It must be said that the screen behind the throne is very large, seems to be made of all copper, weighs nearly a thousand kilograms, and seems to have a very long history.
There is such a screen. It is estimated that one of the current kings of Wei was worried that his descendants would not live up to expectations, and one day they could be melted down to make money, or that the palace was besieged and melted down to make weapons. However, the current generation of kings of Wei had no use for it anyway.
Zhiyao has decided to move the "capital" of the Zhi family here.
This time it is not just a simple relocation of the political center, but also the relocation of the ancestral graves from the "wise" land.
Regarding this point, Zhishen, who was thoroughly Buddhist, hesitated for less than half a month before agreeing, leaving it up to him to convince the tribesmen.
Relocating ancestral graves is a major project that is not inferior to the Second Five-Year Plan!
It’s not that the amount of the project will be huge, it’s just that it’s very important to all the Zhi clan members. Some etiquette procedures that should be done in advance, and even how to build the new mausoleum in “Puyang”, every detail must not be sloppy.
As for the ancestral graves of the Wei family in "Puyang"? The original capital of the Wei Kingdom was "Chaoge", which is now "Mo". The Zhi family allowed Wei Jun to return to "Mo", which is equivalent to returning the capital.
The Wei family had only been in "Puyang" for less than a hundred years. With Wei's national power, it could not build any large mausoleums. The Zi Palaces of several monarchs were raised and transported to the ancestral tombs of "Mo" for burial. In the process, the Zhi family would support relevant manpower and material resources. of.
Although it has been confirmed that the Zhi family will move their ancestral graves and establish a new capital, it will not happen immediately.
The reason why Zhiyao came to "Puyang" again this time was firstly to help move the Wei family's tomb and bear witness, and secondly to choose a place to build the Zhi family's ancestral tomb. At the same time, she also wanted to investigate the scale of her own "capital".
A long time ago, "Puyang" was called "Emperor's Hill", but the Weiguo Palace was not the one from the Yin and Shang Dynasties, and was newly built later.
If the Zhi family chose "Puyang" as their "capital", maybe they should demolish the old city of "Puyang"?
Sun Wu followed Zhiyao around and suggested: "Maybe it can be a sub-city."
It is too difficult to build a city now. There is already a ready-made city. Even if it is abandoned there for a few years and reused later, how can it be demolished?
Furthermore, judging from the actual situation, after Weiguo established "Puyang", it has carried out repeated maintenance and repairs. The sanitary condition in the city is not that bad, and it is not to the extent of being abandoned or demolished.
Sun Wu agreed with Zhiyao's idea of building a new city, and thought Zhiyao's statement was very correct.
The city that Zhiyao wanted to build should be characterized by "magnificence and majesty".
To put it simply, the outer city wall of Zhishi's capital must be at least thirteen meters high, with various sharp city defense facilities; the city must have avenues that run through the entire city, and whether it is residential areas or other areas, they must be planned and must not be
It's as chaotic as all the cities at present.
In the mansion...or the Zhi family's palace, what Zhiyao wants is grandeur. Anyone who takes a look at it will immediately feel like "she is so small."
Then things will be very simple. After the completion of Zhishi's second five-year plan, it may take a year or two, and if there are no other surprises, Zhiyao will start the construction of the capital immediately.
By then, we will no longer have to worry about the restrictions of Zhou Li. The city must be more than ten miles in circumference. The specific size of the city will be, anyway, it will not be smaller than any current city.
"By then, the bridge across the river should also be built?" Zhiyao thought to herself.
Currently, Gongshuban and Dou Shuo are responsible for building a cross-river bridge. It took them nine months to complete the piers of a bridge. They are scientifically verifying whether to use iron cables to connect the bridge deck or to erect a wooden bridge deck.
Zhiyao doesn't know everything. It's because she's not familiar with it, so she feels it's better to be less involved.
Let professional people do professional things. This is the truth. A layman leading an expert will only produce a bad project.
It took nine months to complete the bridge piers. Not only did it not seem long, on the contrary, it should be said that it was extremely fast!
That is because Zhishi has enough manpower and material resources... Among them, material resources are more helpful for this kind of project. Naturally, the contribution of professional talents is indispensable. Otherwise, those material resources alone are of no use. The combination of the two created the rapid speed of the Spring and Autumn Period.
.
Zhiyao knows one thing very clearly. She has repeatedly managed and consolidated the foundation of Zhishi, but what is missing is a process of accumulation.
Every country in the world today is facing its own troubles. Instead of making progress, they are facing regression.
Within the Jin Kingdom, the Wei family, which was the most threatening to the Zhi family, was slowly expanding southward, while the Han family simply ran into obstacles again and again.
Generally speaking, the situation is very favorable for Zhishi. Zhiyao knows not to be too impatient and must have enough patience!
After holding back for several years, Zhiyao really has the confidence to conquer the world within ten years!
