Seeing that King Chu spoke for the second time, Zhao Ju did not dare to refuse this time.

However, he didn't dare to ask for such a thing as adding a county. Although the Zhao clan is strong, although he is already in the position of the Zhu State, when the King of Chu changed the law, he walked to the opposite side of the King of Chu, which he did not dare.

However, fortunately, Ejun used to set an example for him in the past, and now he can naturally learn from Ejun.

Moreover, looking at the recent series of actions of the king of Chu, although the king of Chu has decided to take back the fief, the king of Chu does not have the idea of completely abolishing the feudal monarch.

Thinking about it, Zhao Ju immediately arched his hand and said: "King, the Qi State has been in Huaishui several times, and it is eyeing my Chu State, and the minister is a pillar country, and he can't break the Qi State for the king and recover the lost territory in Huaibei, and the minister is deeply ashamed."

Therefore, the minister has a reluctant request, hoping that the king can transfer the fief of the minister to the south of Huaishui, and the minister is willing to be the national Ping domain. ”

Xiong Huai was stunned and looked at Zhao Ju hesitantly for a long time.

The place where Huaishui meets Qi is mainly Huaiyin and the Sheyang area in the east of Huaiyin.

Huaiyin has already been given to Gongzi Ziqing by him, so naturally it is impossible to transfer it to Zhaoju, and the only place left is Sheyang.

At that time, the Sheyang area had just been taken from the hands of the Yue State, where was indeed a barren land, the main stream of which was the Sheyang River, although not large, but twisted and turbulent, difficult to navigate, but also because of its proximity to Huaishui, close to Huaiyin, resulting in an extremely sparse population.

Thinking about it, Xiong Huai asked hesitantly, "I don't know what Zhuguo wants?" ”

"The subordinates want to shoot the sun, and they are willing to be neighbors with Gongzi Ziqing!"

Sure enough, it was the sun.

Xiong Huai nodded, then looked at Ling Yin Jingcui and asked, "Ling Yin, I don't know how many people are in Sheyang?" ”

Jing Cui was suddenly asked by the King of Chu, and was stunned for a moment.

How many people are in Sheyang, how do I know.

But now that the king of Chu has spoken, how can he answer, he can't open his mouth!

"This... Minister..."

Seeing Jing Cui looking left and right, spitting and spitting, Xiong Huai couldn't help but shake his head, then looked at Qu Yuan and asked, "Zuo disciple, do you know how many people there are in Sheyang?" ”

Jing Cui's face stiffened when she heard this.

Qu Yuan arched his hand and responded: "Back to the king, Sheyang has nearly a hundred miles of land, but because Chu and Yue have repeatedly fought around Huaiyin City before, Sheyang also belongs to the war zone, so there were not many people in Sheyang when he was in Yue. In addition, there are many swamps in the land of Sheyang, and the Sheyang River is very sinister, so the minister learned from the household registration of Yue Guo that there are only more than 900 households in the land of Sheyang.

However, the battle of Chu and Yue, coupled with the two times that the Qi State was in Huaishui, the local people fled one after another, and the number of households counted by our Chu State three months ago was only 537 households. And now, there are definitely fewer people on the ground. ”

Xiong Huai wrinkled his forehead when he heard this, the so-called poor mountain and bad water, this shooting sun must be bad water.

What is the concept of more than 500 households, it is a small city, at least there are hundreds of households, but the entire land of Sheyang is nearly 100 miles in size, but there are only 500 households. It is conceivable that there should be no city in the entire Sheyang, and it is just a few villages.

Such a place is given to Zhaoju?

Xiong Huai shook his head, looked at Zhao Ju and said: "Zhu Guo, Zuo Zhizhi Qing also heard it, Sheyang is really barren, it is difficult to match the identity and merits of Zhu Guo, although Zhu Guo is dedicated to the country, but the widow can't bear to see Sheyang Feng to Qing, so Zhu Guo should choose another place." ”

Zhao Ju heard the words and said: "The king is more worried, compared with the virtuous Sun Shuao, in terms of identity, it is only the position of the pillar country, and in terms of merit, it is far from the great merit of assisting King Zhuang to dominate, but with the credit of Sun Shuao's identity, just the four hundred households in the sleeping hill are satisfied, not to mention the five hundred households in the land of the sun, the minister is already content." ”

Xiong Huai looked at Zhao Ju for a long time, and when he saw that Zhao Ju's face did not change and his attitude was resolute, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Seeing the subtle knowledge, knowing the general trend and knowing the gains and losses, it is probably a person like Zhao Ju.

If it was said that Zhaoju had the virtue of Sun Shu Ao, he naturally didn't believe it, otherwise he would have resigned from that county when he destroyed Yue last time.

As a result, after his intention to change the law was initially revealed, he wanted to change the seal and become the national screen domain.

Xiong Huai pondered in his heart for a long time, and then couldn't help but smile slightly, since Zhao Ju had this intention, of course he promised him.

After this incident, it shows that Zhaoju sees the general trend of the Chu State, but he is unwilling to stand on the opposite side of him, the king of Chu, but is willing to stand on the side of him, the king of Chu.

Moreover, as a pillar of the country, Zhao Ju has a high position and great intelligence, and Xiong Huai also does not want him to stand on the opposite side of him and obstruct the change of the law everywhere.

Agreeing to his request will naturally calm his mind.

Thinking about it, Xiong Huai opened his mouth and said: "Guan Yin is rich, which can make Qi dominate the world, and Yan Zi is poor, and Qi can also dominate the world." Although the wealth of Xiangguo has nothing to do with the country, Uncle Sun's virtue is admired by the widow, and since the Zhuguo intends to learn from Uncle Sun, the widow will be fulfilled. ”

Zhao Ju was relieved when he heard this, and the King of Chu could agree to his request, so he would be relieved.

If the king of Chu really intends to take back the fief of the feudal monarch, he will naturally not become the target of the king of Chu with the sun where he is located. Moreover, although Sheyang is poor, it is also a fiefdom with 500 households.

Don't you hear that Sun Shuao's fief has been passed down for ten generations?

What's more, as a member of the Zhao family, as long as he can keep his power, is he still afraid that future generations will go hungry?

On the other side, Xiong Huai thought about it, and always decided in his heart that he would treat him too badly after transferring Zhaoju.

In terms of increasing the number of households and giving food to the city, Xiong Huai decisively chose the latter.

So, he spoke again: "Zhu Guo is willing to be loyal to the country, and he specially transferred the fief to Sheyang, and the widow is very relieved. However, there are few people who shoot Yang, which is not enough to match the merits of Zhu Guo. If there is merit, it will be rewarded, and if it is wrong, it will be punished, which is the wish of the widow. Therefore, the widow decided to seal the pillar country as the king of Sheyang, and added 5,000 households in the pillar country to reward him. ”

Zhao Ju was overjoyed when he heard this.

The king was indeed righteous and did not do him any wrong. His original fief was only a small county of more than 4,000 households, and because of the new fiefdom, he had not had time to open up private land, let alone take refuge in his own clan.

In addition, he needs to pay for food and money every time he goes to war, and now he doesn't get much income from the fief every year.

This is not the case with food eup, which is pure income.

5,000 households, this is a very high salary, which can make the eyes of many small feudal monarchs hot, and many feudal monarchs are afraid that their families are still far inferior to the income from private land.

Thinking about it, Zhao Ju couldn't help but secretly rejoice.

The king is really a benevolent king who values feelings, this is the case with the Ejun, the same is true for the Yin Jun and others, and the same is true for him Zhaoju.

Thinking of this, Zhao Ju immediately bowed sincerely and said: "The king is benevolent, and the ministers are grateful, and the only way to repay him is death." ”

At this time, the ministers in the palace looked at Zhao Ju, who bowed to the king of Chu, and showed envy.

The five thousand households alone have already surpassed most of the feudal monarchs, not to mention the land of a hundred miles of sunshine.

This has both fiefdoms and food estates, and it is also the only one in the Chu State.

At this time, many ministers were sighing in their hearts: Zhu Guo is loyal and righteous, the king is benevolent, the monarch is virtuous and loyal, how can Chu not prosper.
