1427. Do not be reluctant to make it difficult
Therefore, although Wei had a good start, because of a mistake, the fate of Wei was completely ruined.
Although Wei Wuji and Wei Ying tried their best to redeem it, the people below did not understand them, but instead attributed all the faults to them, and the people below did not understand the hard work of these people, and finally brewed bitter fruits.
Qi Xiaobai attaches great importance to Wei Wuji, he very much hopes that he can get the help of this great talent, he believes that with the help of this great talent, not to mention unification, at least there must be the stability of Wei Wuji's governance internally.
Qi Xiaobai asked people to investigate Xinling City, where is Wei Wuji's fiefdom, it can be said that it is a model of the world's cities, although it cannot be compared with the capitals of various countries, nor can it be compared with Luoyang City.
But the people there, life is very good, everyone has a house, they have land to plant, even if they are lazy, Wei Wuji will think of a way to arrange some jobs for them that are suitable for lazy people.
Of course, if you really just want to lie down and do nothing, just want to live a happy life, then Wei Wuji can't give it, but Wei Wuji will also give some charity to this kind of person, he thinks that if you are born as a human being, you should live well, these people actually live on their own land, then it is necessary for him to be responsible for these people.
Of course, Wei Wuji is not a bad person, he knows that these people, give once, can, twice, can, but three times will have inertia, he will think that everything should be given, so Wei Wuji will force them to work.
Xinling City is a small city on the edge of the Wei State, because of its geographical location, it is destined to become a big city, but Wei Wuji used what he has learned to forcibly promote it to a core city of the Wei State.
Xinling City is bordered by Qin on the edge of Wei State, surrounded by mountains, because the transportation is not convenient, there are no merchants in this city, so it will not be rich, but this city, under the leadership of Wei Wuji, has reclaimed a lot of wasteland, so that it has grain and grass second only to the military granary of Wei.
It is also for this reason that it becomes the core city, before Wei Wuji arrived, he still had to eat the relief from the center of Wei State, and after Wei Wuji arrived, the relief was not eaten, but supported some other cities.
This support, several poor places around, all rely on Xinling City, after all, the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility, over time, this small city on the edge has become one of the core cities of the Wei State.
Because there are several important cities around Xinling City, it is necessary to rely on Xinling City to provide food and grass support.
Xinling City is a poor and remote place, and his surroundings are also poor and remote places, but those places are not Wei Wuji's fiefdoms, and Wei Wuji has no right to intervene.
But Wei Wuji is a courtier, he needs to pay tribute to the central Wei State, and Wei Wuji's tribute will basically not go to Daliang City, but to these important cities around it.
Over time, important cities relied on Wei Wuji's Xinling City to survive, and it was for this reason that Xinling City became a core city.
Although it is a core city, the surrounding area is not like other core cities, and it is full of strong defensive fortresses or something.
Because Xinling City is surrounded by mountains, it is a natural defensive fortress, and it is different from other places, where the core city protects the lower city, and Xinling City is the rest of the city that protects him.
What has changed is what Wei Wuji has changed when he arrived, and it wasn't like this before.
After learning about Xinling City, Qi Xiaobai even hoped that Wei Wuji could become his subordinate, he believed that as long as Wei Wuji was given a county, or a capital, then he would definitely be able to govern this place well, and he would become rich.
Although the Qi country is rich, the rich place is only the core circle of the Qi country, that is, the Qi land, and the territory seized by the Qi country, the land of Fujian, the land of Yan, and the land of Yue, these places are not rich, but they still need the help of the core places of the Qi country.
Yuedi is better, because Xuzhou, Wudi, in the north of Yuedi, is rich and can support Yuedi, and the deepest need for assistance is the land of Fujian.
The land of Fujian was originally surrounded by mountains, and there was a trading post by the sea, which used to be like this, but after the Qi State took over, the use of the trading post was greater, but the interior of the land of Fujian was still poor.
In this critical period of unification of the Qi State, when the Great Liang needs money, he will naturally not help them, but this place, the Qi State cannot ignore it, although this place is poor, but the people are fierce, and when they fight against the Chu State in the future, they need the people of this place very much.
And the Qi State hopes to get Wei Wuji to join, he will arrange Wei Wuji to the land of Fujian, let him open up the land of Fujian, and make this waste land of the Qi State better, not to mention that he can become rich, at least he will be self-sufficient.
Qi Xiaobai looked at Wei Wuji, although he had a heart for talent, but everyone has their own ambitions, and some things cannot be forced.
Wei Wuji was unwilling to join, and he couldn't force it, even if he forced it, if Wei Wuji didn't come voluntarily, his ability might not be able to be shown as it should be.
All Qi Xiaobai could do was sigh.
The conversation between the two of them was proposed by Qi Xiaobai, mainly because he wanted to personally come out to persuade Wei Wuji to surrender and personally persuade him to surrender, which was a very noble surrender.
Qi Xiaobai himself came, and the emperor specially came to say surrender to you, which is a great honor, but Qi Xiaobai did not succeed.
After all, the commander and even the emperor went to the center of the battlefield to surrender, which is a very big risk, if the other party does not keep his word and easily assassinate you, you will be in danger.
However, Wei Wuji is famous for his letters, and Qi Xiaobai still trusts Wei Wuji very much, otherwise, he would not have come in person.
"Everyone has their own ambitions, don't be reluctant to make it difficult!" Qi Xiaobai said the words of giving up, he respected Wei Wuji's choice, although he felt a pity, but thinking about the reason why Wei Wuji made this choice, it was normal, if he accepted Qi Xiaobai's surrender, would Qi Xiaobai still respect him?
I'm afraid I won't respect him anymore, but I will despise him and despise him a little.
Wei Wuji composed again, and then turned to leave, Qi Xiaobai looked at Wei Wuji's back, and had no choice but to leave, this surrender can be described as a very failure.
Qi Xiaobai returned to his chariot, he looked at everything on the battlefield, Wei Dexian looked at Qi Xiaobai and said, "Your Majesty, this Wei Wuji really doesn't know how to lift!" ”
"Your Majesty, you personally went to surrender, and he didn't even give you face, then let our iron cavalry crush him and make him regret making this decision!" Wei Dexian looked at Qi Xiaobai and said.
"If Wei Wuji can surrender so easily, then it won't be Wei Wuji, and it won't be the Wei Wuji I admire and like!" Qi Xiaobai looked at Wei Dexian and said.
