Chapter 81 Planning
"Will Murong Tuoba agree?" Murong Dan returned to his carriage in despair, and Fan Zeng rushed in like a rabbit. Xiaobai looked at this guy dissatisfied, shook his big tail and continued to sleep.
"Why don't they say yes, do they have a second option? The western part of Pingliang needs people to be stationed, but it is a grassland where our people are not adaptable. Only let the people who can herd go, and the Murong clan is the most suitable person. If you put all the 300,000 Donghu people there, do you rest assured? ”
"That's right, this time the meticulous work can be regarded as a complete tear with the king. Once the king is in power, maybe he won't have time to deal with Lu Buwei and will come to deal with us. The most important thing now is to develop your own strength, and the Qin army has millions of people. Even if we get two or three hundred thousand, it will be enough for us to keep busy. Not to mention anything else, cutting off our trade routes will make Pingliang lose the foundation for survival. Fan Zeng said worriedly.
Industry and commerce are the foundation of Pingliang's survival, and it can be said that Pingliang City is now relying on caravans to feed. In addition to public services, the largest group of workers in Pingliang is workers rather than farmers. The population of the three eastern counties is a Chinese who have been redeemed from the Huns over the years. These people were all filled in the factory, but as the factory expanded, there were still not enough people. Not to mention, the Qiang and Yueshi slaves who toiled hard in Jiguan Mountain.
Only the original old Qin people would serve the land in Pingliang. There was a drought and lack of water in the northwest, and there was not enough fertilizer in those years. The yield of crops is really frighteningly low. Even potatoes and corn, two high-yielding crops, have seen their yields drop dramatically when the drought is calm.
"Don't be afraid, after this big war. I will talk to the king once, if he insists on cutting off the trade routes of Pingliang, we will simply turn it back. The vast Western Regions has much larger lands, and there are many more to conquer. As long as we conquer them, we are not afraid that there will be no food to eat in the future. Potatoes and corn are high enough to feed the people of Pingliang.
As soon as we have our hands free, we will attack Guanzhong. When the time comes, we will have to deal with the six eastern countries, but also with us and the Huns. Even a million Qin troops are not enough, and the loss of military strength alone can crush Great Qin. In the final analysis, no matter how powerful the tiger and wolf army is, they have to eat. For this strategist, Yun Yue said what she thought in her heart. Fan Zeng has a unique view of the problem, and Yun Yue also wants to hear his thoughts.
"Hou Ye really wants to rebel?" Fan Zeng listened to Yun Yue's words, and he was not much surprised, and his tone looked more like a further certainty.
"If the king is really determined to cut off our trade routes, it will be stuck in our necks. You can't do it if you don't think about it! However, with our current military strength, we will try not to turn our faces without turning against the imperial court. As long as the king does not cut off the trade routes, we will still be the courtiers of the Great Qin. Everything is virtual, only strengthening one's own strength is real.
Look at how many soldiers we have now, and Guanzhong is so big. Don't you garrison the place where you knock it down? Even if these soldiers sprinkle pepper noodles on Daqin, it is not enough, not to mention that officials at all levels must be replaced by people we can trust.
Since the Shang Dynasty changed the law, although the Great Qin has greatly weakened the sub-feudal system. But the royal family is still dividing the land, and there are many people in this king and that marquis. I think if we take a place, we will adopt the county system. Everything is subordinate to the central government, and only then can a unified centralized state be established. Only then can we ensure the long-term peace and stability of the country, and no longer be chaotic because of the struggle for succession. Yun Yue simply explained his political ideals together.
In later history, Qin Shi Huang did just that. In his hands, the sub-sealing system was completely weakened. The imperial court divided the world into fifty-four counties, and the county guards were directly responsible to the central government. It can be said that the Great Qin era of Qin Shi Huang did not belong to the feudal society. Because there was no seal at that time, and naturally there was no establishment of a country.
"It is indeed very important to establish a unified centralized power, and it is no longer possible to divide the princes like the Zhou royal family. If that is the case, sooner or later the world will be in chaos. Master Hou, your worries are justified, the implementation of the county system requires a large number of qualified talents to govern the locality. Moreover, once these people are sent to a place, they will hold the power of life and death in a place. It can be said that all of them are princes and kings with different surnames, so these people must be very reliable.
Presumably, the original intention of Hou Ye to run the academy was to be able to collect talents and plan for the future! As soon as Yun Yue said this, Fan Zeng understood that the reason why Pingliang spent so much effort to establish a academy and cultivate talents. It is to be a talent reserve, in order to have someone available when the world is dominating the world one day in the future. At this level, Yun Yue can be described as far-sighted.
Looking at Fan Zeng's admiring gaze, Yun Yue blushed a little. He only knew this by taking advantage of the history books of later generations. Of course, those online novels that are good at YY also play a role in fueling the fire.
"Hmmm! In this way, we really can't tear our faces with the court. Hou Ye's idea is very good, as long as life is still passable. Then drag it out, anyway, Great Qin's national policy is to deal with the six countries of Shandong, not to send soldiers and horses to the northwest first. As long as we rebel blatantly, the imperial court will not send troops to attack us. Delay it, time is on our side. ”
Yun Yue lifted the curtain and glanced outside, and said, "The most important thing now is to get rid of the Donghu people and eat the wealth they looted in Longyou." You set off tonight and contact Yiqu-kun. That old guy must have been impatient to wait, and we can't eat 300,000 people. There must be the cooperation of the Yiqu cavalry, and maybe the Huns will also come to intervene at that time. ”
"Then we can still take the spoils of war alone?" Fan Zeng said with some puzzlement.
"Eating alone is destined to not last long, and I want to do something for a long time. We must consider the word win-win! If our family swallows all the spoils, the court will ask for it, and you won't give it. Now that the old guy has swallowed it, even if the king knows about it, he can't do anything. Could he still go to the old guy and ask for money? Next year's crown ceremony, our king is still waiting for the support of the respected Yiqu Jun. How could he offend the old army leader for some money at this juncture. ”
"Hou Ye said yes, but he walked through Yiqujun. It is better for the subordinates to go to the Huns for a trip, or to let the Huns also participate. When the time comes, the three families will divide the accounts, although we will have some losses, but the court will be even more difficult to deal with us at that time. ”
"Hmmm! I'll take a break and delay a bit, and you have to be careful. Now that the northwest is in chaos, let Qi Guoxing take the cavalry to protect you. ”
"Whoa......!"
PS: There have always been people complaining about Lao Long's renewal, and Lao Long feels deeply sorry for the people and the party's teachings. So today the old dragon decided to break out, and it was up at twelve o'clock in the middle of the night! Hey! I know what I'm going to say next, if you have a monthly pass, you can vote for two. Thank you, old dragon! (To be continued.) )
