Chapter 841: Accelerating the Process
Princess Haoyue came out of the side hall, she had already changed her clothes, she walked briskly in front of Tang Dou, and called out to her son in a low voice. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Tang Dou stood up and looked Princess Haoyue up and down, and joked with a smile: "If you want to compare Haoyue to Xizi, it is always appropriate to wear heavy makeup lightly." ”
Princess Haoyue's face turned red, and she called out shyly: "Childe~"
Gongzi actually compared her to the famous beauty Xi Shi of Yue, which made Princess Haoyue happy but shy.
Seeing Princess Haoyue's shy appearance, Tang Dou realized that the poem he had just tampered with was really a suspicion of picking flowers and butterflies, he laughed dryly, and said to Princess Haoyue: "Hao'er is fine, right?" If there's nothing to do, I'll go to the dungeon and I'll go back in a while. ”
Princess Haoyue let out a low sigh.
I have a big thing I have always wanted to tell you, but that day you went to visit Wuji Gongzi, said that you would come back but did not come back, if you came back that day, I will tell you that my sister has been here, and said a lot to me, but on the contrary, you took a box of "Bamboo Book Chronicle" and flew away directly......
Tang Dou looked at the well-behaved Princess Haoyue and smiled, handed the small shovel in his hand to Princess Haoyue, and went straight to the underground palace to find Li Si.
Looking at the back of Tang Dou leaving, Princess Haoyue blushed and softly read the poem that Tang Dou casually chanted just now: "If you want to compare Haoyue to Xizi, it is always appropriate to wear heavy makeup." In Childe's heart, am I really comparable to Xizi? ”
In the following days, under the urging of the three old men, Tang Dou accelerated the process of promoting the development of the Qin State.
At the end of July 249 B.C., the Qin State was seriously affected by the drought in Xianyang, Nanzheng, Yongcheng and other areas of the replanted corn harvest, because the little Qin Shi Huang implemented the system of self-eating the land of the head of the Qian, the peasants' enthusiasm for cultivation and reclamation was unprecedentedly high, the yield of corn per mu reached an average of 1,200 catties, and the yield of other replanted cereals was also nearly 10% higher than usual.
A bumper harvest of corn, Qin has no worries about food shortage, the farmers worked tirelessly, and raced against time to sow the early-maturing corn varieties brought by Tang Dou on the land that had just been harvested, looking forward to harvesting the second harvest before the winter, and this time, the farmers saw the high yield of corn with their own eyes, and there was no ambush in cultivation, and even those newly reclaimed wasteland were planted with corn.
In September 249 BC, a border dispute between Chu and Wei led to a large-scale conflict, Wei Wuji commanded 100,000 Wei soldiers to capture Chu's Chen County, and Qi took the opportunity to attack Jucheng, which was occupied by Chu, and the battle lasted for two months, and Qi returned in vain.
At the beginning of November 249 B.C., the second season of corn was harvested in Qin, and the granaries of various counties and counties were piled up with grain, and the corn stalks could not be eaten by the livestock of the whole country for several years.
The Qin State was abundant in grain and grass, and a large number of displaced people from Zhao, Wei, Chu, Qi, and Yan countries flocked into the Qin State, with a cumulative population of up to 100,000.
The right minister was afraid that there would be spies from the five countries to infiltrate, and ordered all border checkpoints to strictly prohibit the entry of displaced people.
Han Fei, the left minister, disagreed with Meng Fu, and he believed that the people from all over the world came to vote, which shows that the Qin State is politically connected and the country is safe and secure, and is desired by the people of all countries.
Qin Shi Huang adopted Han Fei's opinion, and ordered to open and close the entry of displaced people from various countries, encourage displaced people to reclaim famine, and also enjoy the system of self-eating land of Qianshou, regarded as the Qin people.
Under the benevolent government of Qin Shi Huang, the neighboring Zhao, Wei and Chu kingdoms even had the phenomenon of moving their families to Qin in some places, and the three kingdoms were shocked, and ordered to lock the customs and send troops to prevent the people from going to Qin.
However, even so, there were still many people who risked their lives to sneak across the border to move to Qin, and a village in Wei and even the whole village moved to Qin overnight, leaving a large area of fertile land uncultivated.
People struggle all their lives, don't they just want to have a piece of land of their own?
In Wei and other countries, the common people could only rent the land of landlords and nobles to cultivate, and after a year of hard work, half of the harvest was used to pay the rent, while in the Qin state, as long as the land reclaimed was owned by themselves, the land tax paid only required one percent of the harvest, and they could also rent ploughing oxen, iron tools, and even free seeds from the government.
Compared with the peasants of the Qin State, one is in heaven and the other is in hell, who doesn't yearn to go to heaven and live a good life for a few days?
It was not too late to make amends, and the other five countries also began to try to implement the system of self-consumption of the land by the heads of the Qian, but it was strongly opposed by the landlords of all classes, and the implementation process was very slow.
At the end of 249 B.C., the Chu army attacked the Wei State, and the two armies attacked from the east and west, recovering Chen County in one fell swoop.
King Wei Anjiao changed his generals in battle, replaced Wei Wuji with Longyang Jun, and demoted Wei Wuji to Anyi.
Long Yangjun commanded the Wei soldiers to fight a decisive battle with the Chu army outside the city of Daliang, Chun Shenjun Huang Xie broke the Wei army with a fire bull array, Long Yangjun was defeated and fled to Sanchuan County of Qin State, and defected to King Han Li, who had been canonized as Yang Qujun by Qin Shi Huang, Daliang was lost, and King An Yi was forced to move the capital to Ye County.
At the beginning of 248 BC, Longyangjun instigated Yang Qujun to mutiny, was designed by Yang Qujun to take down, tied up Xianyang, Qin Shi Huang treated him politely, released Longyang Jun in court, Longyang Jun refused Qin Shi Huang's recruitment, and lived in Xianyang.
In the middle of 248 BC, Huang Xie waved 300,000 divisions to Yejun, and King Wei Anjiao restarted Wei Wuji, but the Chu army was large and invincible.
King An asked King Zhao Xiaocheng for help, and King Zhao Xiaocheng was annoyed that Wei Wuji had secretly communicated with Qin, and fled Handan under the cover of Yingzheng Zhao Ji's mother and son.
King Anjiao was forced to move the capital again, withdraw from Ye County, and move the capital to Anyi, and Sancheng of Wei State had fallen into the hands of the Chu people.
The state of Wei was in danger, and Wei Wuji sent an envoy to Xianyang for the third time, hoping to obtain assistance from the state of Qin.
Wei Wuji sent an envoy to the Qin State, and after arriving in Xianyang, he did not go to the Xianyang Palace to meet Qin Shi Huang, but directly came to the Xianyang Palace to meet Tang Dou.
Wei Wuji was lucky, when he asked to see Tang Dou, Tang Dou was entertaining Long Yangjun who lived in Xianyang in the Xianyang Palace.
When Tang Dou heard the news of Wei Wuji's visit, he looked at Long Yangjun in the guest seat, and Long Yangjun sighed lightly: "The Wei State is in danger. ”
Tang Dou personally went to the palace gate to greet Wei Wuji, and Wei Wuji was embarrassed to see Long Yangjun who was following Tang Dou.
The two used to be ministers in the same hall, but now they meet in Xianyang.
Tang Dou invited Wei Wuji in, entertained with good wine and meat, and never asked Wei Wuji what he meant.
Wei Wuji opened his mouth several times, wanting to ask Tang Dou to speak well in front of Qin Shi Huang and persuade Qin Shi Huang to send troops to help the Wei people regain the lost territory, but Tang Dou diverted him, or used Qin's first five-year development plan as an excuse to prevaricate.
Long Yangjun on the side sighed softly and said to Wei Wuji: "Xinlingjun, can you listen to what the slave family says?" ”
Wei Wuji took the wine bottle in front of him and drank it all, and two lines of tears couldn't help but run down the corner of his eyes.
Wei Wuji ignored the tears in the corners of his eyes, looked up at the roof of the main hall, and said in a trembling voice: "Does Long Yangjun want me to persuade the king to follow King Han Li's example?" ”
Long Yangjun was silent for a moment, looked at Wei Wuji with moist eyes and said: "The monarch is tied to the Wei State in his heart, and the slave family is tied to the safety of the king. If the king is unable to face the king, the slave family is willing to go to Anyi to meet the king. ”
Wei Wuji stood up suddenly, hurriedly arched his hand at Tang Dou who was on the table, turned around without saying a word, and strode out of the hall without looking back, ignoring Tang Dou's call.
Seeing Wei Wuji's back as he left, Tang Dou shook his head and sighed. (To be continued.) )
