Chapter 842: The Disease of Transgression

Xiong Huai was slightly stunned, he originally thought that the dispute between Wu and Yue within Yue was only because of the poor governance of Yue and frequent civil strife, so he did not completely rein in the hearts of the Wu people, which led to the struggle between Wu and Yue within Yue and gave Chu an opportunity.

I don't want to, the deep-seated reason is still in the flood.

The terrain of Huiji is flat, there are swamps everywhere, and the location is close to the sea, the waves are very large, and when a wave hits, the sea water flows all over Huiji along the current.

How to solve this problem?

Large-scale long pond, thin and salty?

Xiong Huai shook his head, Yue Guo did this earlier, it could solve some problems, but it couldn't cure it.

Building a causeway on the shore of a river?

It's just that as soon as he thought of the waves that were several zhang high, Xiong Huai took the initiative to retreat, and now the city wall of Yingdu is only three zhang high.

Therefore, the flood is a problem that cannot be solved now, even before industrialization.

Since it is impossible to completely solve the flood problem, then...

Thinking of this, Xiong Huai suddenly remembered a question.

Originally, he planned to move the Yue nobles and then move a 10,000-family Chu from Huainan to stabilize the Yue land.

However, if it is difficult to develop beyond the land, and the people cannot reclaim land in the salt water, then it will be difficult to carry out the matter of relocating the people.

Thinking about it, Xiong Huai looked at Wen Que and smiled slightly.

It turned out that the purpose of letting the widow sacrifice Wenzi was here, and he was worried that the influx of a large number of Chu people would not only affect the interests of the Yue people, but also cause turmoil to Jiangdong and affect the stability of the Chu State in Jiangdong.

Of course, I'm afraid that more importantly, the entry of the Chu people into Vietnam will naturally affect him, the Wen family, which has a special status between the Chu State and the Yue Land.

Therefore, he did not mention it directly, but said it in a roundabout way.

However, I still need to investigate the details of the place of the meeting.

Thinking about it, Xiong Huai looked at Wen Que and smiled: "Xianqing has a heart, few people know about it!" ”

Then, Xiong Huai continued to patrol around Wutang before returning to Huiji City with his ministers.

After returning to Miyagi, Xiong Huai summoned Tang Yu again.

At this time, Xiong Huai looked at Tang Yu in front of him, frowned, and said, "Xianqing has been in the Huiji Land for almost two years, and I don't know how much I know about Xianqing in Yuedi." ”

Tang Mo looked at the King of Chu hesitantly, not knowing what the King of Chu wanted to know, so he arched his hand and said: "The king, the minister knows a little about the matter of crossing the land, I don't know what the king wants to ask?" ”

Xiong Huai pondered for a while, and said directly: "The widow wants to know the geography of Yuedi, if the widow moves thousands of people from Huainan to Yue, in order to speed up the assimilation of the Yue people and stabilize the Yuedi, I don't know if this move is feasible." ”

Tang Yu showed a heavy look when he heard this, destroying his country and moving his king, and putting the people in another place, which was the practice of the Chu State, but this matter did not work in Yuedi.

"Your Majesty, this move is difficult."

"Why?"

"As the king sees today, it is because of the floods that cross the earth. The flood is different from Dongting, although the land of Dongting is barren and dense with jungle swamps, the difficulty of its development is not difficult, and it only needs to be carefully treated for a few years to turn the barren land into fertile soil.

But the land of Huiji is not good, the land of Huiji is hundreds of miles, it is deeply affected by the sea, the water of the swamp is turbid and salty and bitter, and the drink is sick and does not live, even the local Yue people can't stand it, let alone the Chu people who come from afar.

As for the places that are easy to develop in Yuedi, they have all been developed by the Yue people, and the remaining places that cannot be developed cannot be developed even by the Yue people.

After Goujian, the king of Yue, moved the capital from the mountains to the plain under the Huiji Mountain, before the destruction of Wu, the Yue country was a hundred miles in circumference, with a population of more than 300,000 people, and to this day, the entire homeland of the Yue country, Zhuji, Huiji, Shangyu and other places are nearly a thousand miles, with a population of nearly one million. In two hundred years, the land has increased tenfold and the population has tripled, but the arable land of the Yue Kingdom has only tripled when the ministers have checked the archives of the Yue Kingdom. ”

Xiong Huai was stunned, and a series of data in Tang Yu's mouth suddenly presented the difficulty of development in front of him.

At this time, Tang Yu saw that the King of Chu showed a cautious expression, and continued: "King, what Wen Que said in Wutang before is not wrong, the dispute between the Yue people and the Wu people is that the Yue land is difficult to develop, and many Yue people and nobles continue to go north to Wu to find opportunities to compete with the Wu people for land.

From the time of Gou Jian's destruction of Wu, the Yue Kingdom successively sealed more than 30 Yue people in Wu and occupied a large number of Wu land. Therefore, the state of Wu was destroyed for nearly two hundred years, and the Wu people and the Yue people were still incompatible.

Yes, when our Chu army destroyed Yue, it was rare to encounter Wu resistance in Wu, let alone open the door to welcome surrender, and even more, before the Chu army arrived, there were Wu people leading the way more than ten miles away, lest the Chu army go slowly, or could not find a place, Wu Yue contradictions, which can be seen in general. ”

Xiong Huai nodded slowly.

Then, Tang Yu continued: "Great King, not only that, this is only the nobles of Yuedi, although they can leave Yuedi, but it is difficult for ordinary people to leave. ”

Xiong Huai remembered that the amount of cultivated land in Yue was far less than the rate of population growth, and he couldn't help frowning: "If the cultivated land is insufficient, then how can the Yue people solve the food problem?" ”

This is a very critical issue, because the people of Yue are different from other countries, including Chu, and most of the small-scale peasant economies are close to taking shape at this moment.

The Yue country is not, the prosperity of the Yue country in the Yue King Goujian, after the destruction of Wu after the great line of the feudal system, so far only two hundred years. In less than 200 years, the feudal system of the Yue Kingdom has been in a prosperous period, and it has not reached the level of decay and disintegration like other countries.

Therefore, before the king of Yue and the nobles occupied absolute authority over the people. Since there is not enough arable land, and a large number of people are directly subordinate to the nobility, and there is no freedom to flee to other places, how can the people support themselves?

Similarly, this status quo in Yuedi is not only about the people, but also about the rule of Chu over Yuedi.

Now the elite of the Yue State has been wiped out by the Chu State two years ago, and the strength of the Yue nobles has been greatly reduced, and the Chu State still has 80,000 Chu troops stationed in the Yue Kingdom, so the Yue nobles do not dare to make any changes.

But what about ten or twenty years later?

It is impossible for the Chu State to keep a large number of Chu troops stationed in Yuedi all the time, once the Chu army is withdrawn, and the strength of the Yue nobles has been restored, at that time, once the Yue nobles are in tandem, they want to restore the Yue State.

Then, with the control of the Yue nobles over the people, as long as they ascend to the heights, the people they control will definitely respond.

At that time, the more land will definitely be repeated.

Therefore, it is precisely because of this reason that Xiong Huai has long wanted to deal with the nobles of Yuedi. It was only because of the continuous fighting before that it was delayed.

It is precisely because of this reality in Yuedi that when Xiong Huai came to Jiangdong, he also brought 80,000 of the 100,000 Chu troops in Yingdu. It was not because Xiong Huai was afraid of death, and he also mobilized the people to escort the 80,000 troops in the hunting place, but in fact, Xiong Huai was very suspicious that with only the 80,000 Chu troops in Jiangdong, it might be difficult to deter those Yue nobles who were about to lose everything and had to take risks.

It is also for this reason that after Xiong Huai was assassinated, he immediately overturned his previous idea of moving the nobles, and took advantage of the fact that his army was here, using this as an excuse to directly kill the nobles in Jiangdong.

The aristocratic system of Yue Di really made Xiong Huai feel frightened.

For a moment, Xiong Huai's thoughts drifted far away.
