Chapter 170: The third brother-in-law of the grassland is stabbed
Zhao Chenghou, the king of Zhao State, played the stupid big man of the Wei foreign minister, although he offended the militarily powerful Wei State because of this, but! It's a delight. Zhao Guo felt relieved.
Especially among the people, when they learned that Zhao Chenghou not only played the foreign minister of Wei, but also played the 20th board, they felt that the lord was great.
Right! Treat the power of Wei, we should be like this! Afraid of him? If you want to fight, come here! We, the people of Zhao Kingdom, are on the king's side! No longer subject to the bird anger of the Wei State!
After dealing with the matter at hand, Bai Gui came to the mansion of the former prince again. This! It's not for bribes, it's not for help. But! It's here for tea, drinking, and chatting.
Some time ago, Bai Gui recruited a team of nearly 2,000 horse-transporting migrant workers within the territory of Zhao State. These two thousand people are all from all over Zhao State, and they are all recruited through warehouses in various places, and they are all recommended by die-hards, and their character is absolutely reliable. Right now! These people were rushing to the border of Zhongshan Kingdom, waiting to pick up the horses.
Other than that! Bai Gui also plans to arrange for some people to live on the prairie.
On the Linquan side, a large number of people are needed. But! It cannot be drawn from one country. Otherwise! It will offend the king or the magnate of the country, and it will attract the attention or disgust of the country.
So Baekyu intends to! A number of young people from each country were drawn over. It is best to be an unmarried man with a girlfriend, who has had children in the past and is able to develop the population quickly. Don't tell them about the migration, but take them to Linquan. And then! Ask them if they want to? Willing! Just give them preferential policies. Unwillingly! Don't force it.
Bai Gui didn't tell anyone about the migration to Linquan, and he specially said hello, don't make a noise first. This time I came back, mainly to sell horses. First sell the horses to make a profit, and then focus on the construction of Linquan Castle and the development of the population.
It is not only necessary to develop the population in Linquan, but also to build a new castle. It is also necessary to develop the population and expand the power of Lan Gongzi on the ranch side of Lan Gongzi.
Lan Gongzi is the waste prince of Zhongshan Kingdom, with only an isolated pasture and no population on it. It is precisely because of this that this ranch was given to Bai Gui. And he himself went to the depths of the prairie to visit friends. In fact! Visiting friends is fake, seclusion is real.
If Bai Gui hadn't come to the rescue, Lan Gongzi would not only have no land, but also his life. So! Lan Gongzi was so generous that he gave him Bai Gui, a pasture with no population and was isolated.
Of course! Nominally, it is still Lan Gongzi's, and the title deed is still in Lan Gongzi's hands.
Anyone's land has a title deed. Only if you have a title deed in your hand can you collect taxes from those who live in the area. You don't have a title deed, and someone else has the right not to pay taxes to you.
The land under the Great Zhou Dynasty was first divided up by the princes piece by piece. And then! One by one, the princes divided their lands among the hereditary nobles. The hereditary aristocracy then sold, assigned, and leased them to the inhabitants who lived here.
And then! Taxes are charged at a certain rate. One to the Son of Heaven, and one to the King. The rest are the landowners who hold the title deeds - hereditary nobles.
The present situation is that the share that is handed over to the world has been intercepted by the kings of all countries. The current Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty cannot collect due taxes in accordance with the regulations. Exactly because of this! The Great Zhou Son of Heaven became an overhead Son of Heaven. There is no financial resources, and there is no force. In addition to the name of the Son of Heaven, it is not as good as a king. Even! He is not as good as the king of a small country.
Yuan Guogong was very happy to see Bai Gui coming. It's rare to be able to meet with Bai Gyu once, talk once, and it's rare to see Bai Gyu have time to come and talk to him.
"Get the best wine! Cook the most delicious dishes! ”
"Hehehe! It's okay to have tea! It's okay to have tea! Bai Gui said politely.
"What a good thing! What a good thing! I have great news for you! What's New! ”
After the two sat down, Yuan Guogong couldn't help but tell Bai Gui his latest news.
"What good news, would you like to share it with someone white?" Bai Gui asked with a smile.
"Hahaha!" Yuan Guogong couldn't help but laugh and said, "The new foreign minister of Wei! I heard that there is another foreign minister! This foreign minister is a big man, and he is also a fool! Hey! He also ran to our Zhao country to spread wild! Heard! He is also disrespectful to Zhao Jun! ……”
"Also? And what's going on? ”
"He pointed fingers at Zhao Jun and forced Zhao Jun to make a decision!"
"And what's going on?"
"Think about the past! When Bai Guanren was the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Wei, where was he like this? That stupid ratio! Beat! You deserve to be beaten! Hahaha! Joyfully! Joyfully! Well played! Good! ……”
Yuan Guogong told Bai Gui the latest news he had gotten 1510.
"Oh? What a stupid comparison! Bai Guiying said peacefully.
Knowing that Wei really came to intervene, and learning that Zhao Chenghou decisively refused, not only Yuan Guogong was happy, but Bai Gui was also happy.
"Wei Jun has such power! Not only did he do it himself, but he asked his appearance to do the same! When I was the foreign minister, if I didn't handle it well, I would be scolded when I went back! He thinks that I have not done well enough, and I have disgraced him and Wei Guo! Alas! Can't communicate! ”
Yuan Guogong said: "Wei Jun doesn't need you, it's his mistake!" Fail! When you were an official in Wei, Wei developed very well, and its relations with neighboring countries were also good. But since you've gone, it's completely changed. Alas! The current state of Wei! Although militarily strong, it can run amok! But making too many enemies is definitely not a good thing! ”
"Yes! All these years! With the help of powerful military power and Pang Juan's military talent, the Wei State is stronger than before. But! The strength and prosperity of Wei was achieved at the expense of other countries, not by the development of productive forces. So! To be strong in this way is unpopular! ”
"Yes! Military strength is not used for aggression, but for defending the homeland and the country! The Wei state, on the other hand, mistakenly believed that if the military was strong, it could do whatever it wanted. Yes, you can do whatever you want! But! You can only do what you want for a while, not forever! Unpopular ways will eventually be disgusted and abandoned by the world. ”
"But now? Wei Jun thinks! Only by unifying the world first, can we manage the world in a unified way! He said that he could not unify the world, and that there was no force in his hands as a guarantee, and everything was in vain. All your efforts will be destroyed by the force of others. Just as he is now! Other countries develop production but do not protect it by force, as a result! It's all for him to develop production! ”
"If you hear about this theory for the first time, you will really be confused by Wei Jun's theory. But! How many people can support this unpopular approach? I think! It's just a small victory, right? ”
"Yes, yes, yes! I think so too! Back then! I argued with him about it. Outcome! He almost killed him. So! ……”
"That's why you quit your job and don't do business!"
"Yes, yes, yes!"
It was also when Bai Gui visited Yuan Guogong and got together with old friends that news came from Zhongshan Kingdom: The third brother-in-law of the grassland, Yang Niu, and her third brother had an accident. He was assassinated and almost lost his life.
"What? The third brother-in-law was stabbed? Who? Bai Gui asked anxiously.
"Don't know?"
"Don't know? Didn't find a clue? ”
"Listen? Listen? The legend of the people in Yinshan Town said that you did it! White officials! ”
"What did I do? I killed my brother-in-law? I? Bai Gui rolled his eyes as he looked at the messenger's escort.
