Chapter 583: Zhao Laiyu's poisonous plan
Asking someone to destroy the spring fields outside the city seems to be a clueless sentence, but after careful analysis, the meaning is very different. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
You must know that Anling is a typical agricultural city and county, and most of the city's income comes from the cultivation of farmland, and the most important thing is the cultivation of grain and cotton.
Note: In real history, cotton is said to have been cultivated in the frontier during the Northern and Southern Dynasties, introduced to the mainland around the Song Dynasty, and spread to the south in the Ming Dynasty. But this book is overhead, yes, and to some book friends who accuse this book of confusion, this book is overhead, overhead overhead (slightly 10,000 words).
In the Wei state, cereals are planted from late March to April, and cotton is planted around early April, so the time is calculated, and at this time, Anling should be about the time to plant.
At this time, if someone is sent to destroy the spring fields outside the city, it will really kill Anling County, because once the sowing period is delayed, it means that Anling County will not have any harvest that year.
Without any harvest, it means that there will be no income in Anling City, whether it is the nobles or the county citizens.
If this really happens, the nobles can still rely on their family wealth to survive, but what about the county citizens? You must know that although the living conditions of the civilians of Wei are much better than those of the civilians of Chu, this does not mean that they have enough copper coins and silver taels to eat for a year hidden in their homes, and if they have no income, it means that they will be hungry.
And generally when civilians start starving, it is not far from riots.
Regardless of whether the riot is rioting or not, let's first analyze Zhao Laiyu's poisonous plan.
First of all, when they learned that the Chuntian outside the city had been destroyed, what kind of emotions would the civilians in Anling County have?
The answer is fear, and then that fear turns into anger.
And to whom will this anger be inflicted?
To put it more bluntly, the county residents in Anling County, who will they suspect?
The nobles in the city, such as the Wang family, will be excluded from the suspects as soon as possible, because the nobles in the city, such as the Wang family and the Zhao family, also have a large amount of land outside the city, and their losses will only be greater than those of ordinary civilian families, so they will not be suspected.
Secondly, it is the power of Zhao Hongrun, the king of Su.
But Zhao Hongrungui is the king of Su, and he is the prince of their Wei people, and he has an excellent reputation in the past, and he was once praised by the Wei people as a hero who saved the country, so he will not be suspected.
So, who else? Anling, who else can doubt it?
That's right!
There are also more than 50,000 refugees outside Anling City!
Don't think that the more than 50,000 refugees outside the city were blocked from entering Anling, this was just Wang Chen, Zhao Chengsui and other noble children who forced Yan Yong, the county commander of Anling County, in fact, the civilians in Anling City were also reluctant to let those refugees pour into the city.
The reason is very simple, because although Anling is a large county, the total population of the county is only about 30,000 or 40,000, and if about 50,000 refugees pour in at once, then more than half of the resources in the city will naturally be taken away by the refugees.
There is selfishness in the human heart.
Only in a county like Zhaoling County, a county like this that has experienced the invasion and massacre of the Chu State, will the local people abandon their selfish thoughts and share the same hatred, preferring that everyone in the city only drinks porridge every day, and will welcome the refugees who have fled from outside the city into the city and distribute food to them.
Because those Wei people knew very well that in the event of an attack by the Chu State, only the compatriots of one country would fight alongside them.
The more often the county town is invaded by foreigners, the more united the local people become.
Of course, the more xenophobic.
But Anling is different, in the battle of Chu and Wei that year, because Zhao Hongrun led the Junshui army to the Yanling battlefield in time, so that the Chu army of Xiong Hu, the king of Pingyu, and Xiong Tuo, the king of Xuancheng, were all attacked to Anling and were defeated by Zhao Hongrun and the Junshui army.
It can be said that An Ling survived the crisis without danger.
Therefore, Anling County did not feel the importance of unity as Zhaoling County, and the Wei people in the county appeared very indifferent at the instigation of the nobles in the city.
They will think: The suffering of the Yanling people was caused by the Chu people, why did you come to my Anling to share the resources of my Anling?
If Anling's resources are endless, it doesn't matter, but the problem is that Anling's accommodation and food are limited, and since there are more people, then naturally everyone will get less.
Therefore, when the nobles in the city instructed the county commander Yan Yong to block those refugees led by the Yanling people outside Anling City, most of the civilians in Anling City were not seen.
Because of this, the attitude of refugees outside the city towards the Anling people is generally hostile.
And if the spring fields outside the city are destroyed, then it is natural that the refugees outside the city will become the object of suspicion of the Anling people.
After all, the former has an obvious motive: the refugees hate the indifference of the Anling people, and hate the latter, who refuse to help them for their own benefit.
Needless to say, if the Chuntian outside the city were destroyed, there would be a chance that the people of Anling County would clash with the refugees outside the city.
In this way, where can Zhao Hongrun still care about punishing the nobles in the city?
However, this is not the most ruthless part of Zhao Laiyu's poisonous plan.
The most ruthless thing is that Zhao Laiyu also gave Zhao Hongrun a bait: If such a conflict really happens, will you Su Wang come forward or not? If you come forward, which side will you stand on?
Needless to say about the previous question, Zhao Hongrun naturally would not watch the Anling people clash with the refugees outside the city, after all, both sides are the children of Wei, and the so-called palms and backs of the hands are meat, no matter which side has a victim, Zhao Hongrun will not feel good in his heart.
But the question is, how can he stop this riot?
You must know that under the premise that the people of Anling generally believe that the refugees outside the city are the prisoners who destroyed the Chuntian outside the city, even if Zhao Hongrun stands in neutrality and the two sides play 80 boards each, I believe that the evaluation and attitude of the county people in Anling City towards Zhao Hongrun will also drop significantly.
Why?
Because the Anling people are the immediate victims, they have suffered immeasurable losses, and if they can't vent this anger on the refugees they identify as prisoners, then it will naturally be transferred to Zhao Hongrun.
That's human nature.
And the result of this will make the county citizens in Anling City unite to condemn Zhao Hongrun.
In this case, nobles in the city, such as the Wang family and the Zhao family, as long as they instigate Zhao Hongrun behind their backs, they can make Zhao Hongrun unable to stay in Anling, not to mention sanctioning the nobles in the city, he will even be united by the Anling people to drive him out of Anling.
Unless Zhao Hongrun did not hesitate to shed the blood of the people, he mobilized the merchant army to forcibly suppress it.
But Zhao Hongrun would not do that, and once he did, it would only provoke a stronger resistance from the Anling people, and finally alarm the imperial court, and in order to resolve the crisis, Zhao Hongrun was ordered to leave the Anling area.
Therefore, once the Chuntian outside the city is destroyed, unless Zhao Hongrun clearly sides with the Anling people and retaliates against the innocent refugees, he will still be driven out of Anling by the Anling people who are carried away by anger.
And in this way, the crisis of nobles such as the Wang family and the Zhao family in Anling City was naturally resolved.
At that time, although Zhao Hongrun can still use other means to take revenge on these nobles, it may be difficult to defeat them.
It is undeniable that Zhao Laiyu's poisonous plan is also to kidnap public opinion, but he is really much more clever than the stupid trick that the Wang family came up with a few days ago, not to mention several times more clever.
Although he didn't want to admit it, Zhao Hongrun had to admit that if Zhao Laiyu really used this poisonous trick, he, Zhao Hongrun, would indeed be trapped in it and couldn't get out, and it would make everything he had done before go down the drain.
"Old Stuff ......"
Zhao Hongrun looked at Zhao Laiyu and muttered with a calm face.
If he was in Daliang at the beginning, I believe that Zhao Hongrun would be furious after hearing this old thing, but at this moment, Zhao Laiyu can only be proud, because Zhao Hongrun's old thing with this tone is no less than praise to him.
āā¦ā¦ Your! ā
Looking at Zhao Laiyu for a long time, Zhao Hongrun's mood was really complicated.
The reason is very simple, because Zhao Laiyu did not disappoint Zhao Hongrun this time, this old man who has stood in the Zongfu for more than 20 years is indeed worthy of him Zhao Hongrun to deal with it.
It's just that this is probably the last time the two will fight: since Zhao Laiyu told Zhao Hongrun about this poisonous plan in person, it means that he doesn't want to fight with Zhao Hongrun anymore, and it also means that Zhao Hongrun still has no chance to push this hateful old man into the mud in the end.
At this moment, Zhao Hongrun finally understood why Zhao Laiyu was able to stand in the Zongfu for more than 20 years, this old man who he should call the third uncle was indeed capable.
It's a pity that his descendants are not angry.
Thinking of this, Zhao Hongrun couldn't help but laugh.
Seeing that Zhao Hongrun suddenly laughed for no reason after being silent for a moment, Zhao Laiyu frowned, really a little puzzled.
He asked, "Why is King Su laughing?" ā
I saw Zhao Hongrun staring at Zhao Laiyu for a long time, and said with emotion: "Third uncle, worthy of being the third uncle, this king still didn't have a chance to press you into the mud in the end." ā¦ā¦ Forget it, the grievances between you and me, let's end here, this king will deal with your Zhao family impartially, and will not take the opportunity to retaliate, you can rest assured. However, in the eyes of this king, your Zhao family may not last long. ā
Is this a threat?
Zhao Laiyu frowned when he heard this, however, he felt that Zhao Hongrun's tone at this time did not look like he was threatening him.
After thinking about it carefully, Zhao Laiyu suddenly understood: Zhao Hongrun was probably referring to his children and grandchildren.
Zhao Laiyu was silent.
Yes, he can use his means to impress Zhao Hongrun this time, make the latter relent, and relax the punishment of his Zhao family, but in the final analysis, the cause of this incident is his three sons.
He is already over sixty years old, how long can he shelter his children and grandchildren?
When he is no longer there one day, even if the king in front of him does not take revenge, who can guarantee that his descendants will not offend other powerful people?
In the Wei State, some of them are now the big nobles of the Zhao family who can't afford to offend.
Thinking of this, Zhao Laiyu suddenly raised his head and said to Zhao Hongrun, who was about to summon the Zongwei general to send him out of the palace: "King Su, if you want to deal with the Wang family, you need to be careful of the Wang family in Zhengcheng. ā
This is...... Gestures?
Zhao Hongrun looked at Zhao Laiyu with a strange expression, but he was attracted by his words.
"Zheng Cheng's Wang...... What do you mean? ā
I saw Zhao Laiyu stroked his beard, smiled and said: "The Anling Wang clan is the branch of the Zhengcheng Wang clan, and the Zhengcheng Wang clan is the maiden family of the queen Wang, that is, the uncle of the prince of the East Palace......"
ā¦ā¦
Zhao Hongrun was really stunned for a moment. (To be continued.) )
