Chapter 169: Hedong's Scheme
"Lulingjun, Chang'anjun, the two sons are looking for the picture books are not easy to find, and let the servants look for them slowly. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"
In the well-lit collection room, the white-haired historian of the library respectfully saluted, and then hurried with a few assistants to look for the books they had requested, leaving only a nervous little official to entertain the two sons who had come to the collection room.
"This is the storage room that hides almost all the books and classics of the Zhao Kingdom......"
Mingyue looked up, and there was an illusion that she had entered the library archives in the university in later generations, but she saw that every few steps here, there was a huge bookshelf, on which bamboo slips and wooden slips were placed in different categories. Some look at Shang Xin, as if they have only been finished in the past month, and some are old, Mingyue always feels that when she touches her hand, or even breathes a little heavier, they will quickly decay and turn into rotten wood slag.
"When I came here, I understood what it means to be a historian."
Lu Lingjun on the side seemed to be a frequent visitor here, and introduced Mingyue with a smile.
"The collection of edicts of the Zong Zhou Dynasty "Shangshu", the history book of the Jin Kingdom "Cheng", the chronicle of the history book of Zhao, and the "Shiben" that records the lineage of the princes and doctors, are all here, in addition to the inscriptions and history books of the Zhongshan Kingdom, which have also moved here from Lingshou."
The bright moon is the head, the history books of this era, except for Lu's "Spring and Autumn" spread because of Confucius, and produced several versions of the analysis of the Spring and Autumn Period, the rest of the princes' historical books are basically only included in the palace collection of their own country, and outsiders can rarely see it.
Luling Jun said: "Therefore, one of the main reasons why Mozi traveled around the world back then was to take advantage of the princes' Spring and Autumn Period of the Hundred Kingdoms to see what was going on. ”
Mingyue suddenly realized: "No wonder when I was under the Ji, I saw that the "Ming Ghost" of the Mojing also quoted the Spring and Autumn Period of Zhou, Yan, Song, and Qi, such as a number of treasures. It's a pity that after Mozi, there are no more people who can learn the history of the princes? ”
"It's gone."
Lu Lingjun was not without regrets, and then introduced: "In addition to historical books, all books and classics are included in the collection room, and Wei Han's slips have also been collected a lot. The classics and maps of Hedong that Chang'an Jun wants to find must also be found, but I don't know how much time it will take......"
At this moment, when I went in to find the Tibetan history that I had been looking for for a long time, I was already holding a large number of bamboo slips and wooden slabs, and hurriedly returned.
"Chang'anjun, this is all the classic maps related to Hedong......"
He was afraid that Mingyue would be too little, and explained: "After all, Hedong is not my Zhaoguo County, and since the Qin State established Hedong County, it has blocked the pass and forbade merchants to pass freely, so in recent years, there has been very little collection of books in Hedong." ”
"Thank you for the Tibetan history, it's enough for me to read for half a month." Mingyue didn't dislike it, and asked the attendant to take over the heavy wooden slabs that were pressed in the pile of bamboo slips for an unknown amount of time, and were about to leave.
Lulingjun Zhao Tong stopped him and asked curiously, "Why did Chang'anjun suddenly become interested in Hedong?" That's not the territory of my Zhao country, but the county of Qin country! ”
"No other."
Mingyue laughed: "As the right worker of the state, I am in charge of the workshop of attacking wood and the workshop of coloring, and I am planning to gather the strength of the engineer to mark the production of good wood, lacquer, dansha and other things in my Zhao country on the map one by one, so as to facilitate mining, and by the way, the neighboring countries are also marked, so I am interested in Hedong......"
……
What Mingyue told Lu Lingjun was half true and half false.
After completing the two major orders of building a car and dyeing paint for the armor, his work was idle, and Mingyue was idle, so he wanted Zhang Luo engineers to make a "strategic property distribution map". But in addition, he is also planning to take precautions and plan to study the east of the river in order to prepare for the future layout.
The east of the river is the area east of the Longmen of the Yellow River, which is the southwest of Shanxi in later generations. The history books of all countries are recorded, "Yaodu Pingyang, Shundu Puban, Yudu Anyi", the core area of the three dynasties of Tang Yuxia is in Hedong, and it is no wonder that "Yu Gong" also included Jizhou in Hedong at that time, listed as the first of Kyushu, and it was also in the world, until the Zhou Dynasty, "in the world" with the transfer of the political center, moved to Yuzhou, where Luoyang is located.
Later, King Zhou Cheng also sealed his younger brother Tang Shuyu in the "Xia Ruins", creating the Jin Kingdom, and after hundreds of years, regardless of the old and new Jiang, the capital of the Jin Kingdom did not leave the Hedong range, it can be said that Hedong is also the cradle of Zhao, Wei and Han.
After the three families were divided into Jin, the territory of Zhao was located in Taiyuan and Dongyang, which were later developed, and Hedong was divided by Han and Wei, South Korea got Pingyang, and Wei got the main body of the former Jin State, and Wei Wenhou and Wei Wuhou took Anyi City as their capital, which was the time when Wei was thriving.
It is a pity that time has passed, with the relocation of King Hui of Wei to Daliang, with the successive loss of Hexi, Shangjun and Hewai, Hedong has also changed from the center of Wei to a western enclave, and it is under the edge of the Qin army anytime and anywhere. Finally, after decades of repeated struggles, in the twenty-first year of Qin Wangji (286 BC), Qin sent the general Sima Coo to attack Wei Hanoi, under pressure, the King of Wei shed tears and took the initiative to sacrifice the old capital Anyi, which is a sign that Qin finally completely occupied Hedong County, and it is also a sign of Wei's plummeting, if it weren't for the great luck of Wei in the following years, occupying Song and supplementing a large territory, Wei would have long been reduced to a third-rate country that was not as good as Han and Yan.
In short, after the Qin State occupied Anyi and established Hedong County, the edge of the Qin army completely approached Pingyang and Shangdang in South Korea, and at the same time adjacent to Taiyuan County of Zhao State, and even had several dangerous moves from Hedong to Taihang and attack Zhao proper.
Before leaving Handan to go to Linzi, Mingyue's eyes were still focused on the size of Changping, and at most she saw the battle between the parties before the war. However, after getting along with many good generals and ministers for more than half a year in the Warring States Period, he unconsciously saw farther and saw Hedong County behind Changping and Shangdang......
Shang Ying said that Qin Zhi and Wei, for example, if people have a disease of the heart, if they are not Wei and Qin, Qin is merged with Wei, Wei will migrate eastward, and then Qin can be based on the solidity of mountains and rivers to the east to control the princes......
Later generations have made an analysis that if Wei does not want to weaken, it must have Hedong and Anyi; And for South Korea to remain immortal, it is necessary to have Shangdang and Binh Duong; If Zhao wants to maintain his strength, he must keep Jinyang, Yunzhong, and Jiuyuan.
Although these places are separated from the mainland, their relationship is like that of the body and siblings, and if the siblings are eaten by tigers and wolves, how long can the body live? Anyi re-entered Qin, then Wei did not recover, and the Qin people had Anyi, but they sought the party above Han, got the party above Han, and then tried to Taiyuan in Zhao State...... This is a step-by-step process of gaining longhope.
Hedong County has a large population, no less than 500,000, and because of its early development, there are many fields, and it is the third largest granary of Qin in addition to Guanzhong and Shudi. It is like the outpost and source of troops for the eastern annihilation of the princes of the Qin State, and it is also the most convenient place for the Qin army to obtain supplies during the Battle of Changping.
Therefore, if you can find a way to weaken the Hedong of Qin State earlier, it will be equivalent to adding some chips to the future Battle of Changping.
Although Mingyue is still just a busy chess piece, far from being able to hold power, compete with the monarchs and ministers of the Qin State on the chessboard of mountains and rivers. But now he saw an opportunity, an opportunity to weaken Hedong's power and disrupt order there.
You don't have to be a king, a minister, or a general to do this opportunity.
A few days ago, he mentioned to Lu Buwei that the matter of selling wine into Qin was not a whim of Mingyue, and he was not for the little money he earned from selling wine, but for the sword pointing at Hedong.
"The Qin State Shang Yang changed the law, the tax was heavy and the merchant was suppressed, and the price of wine was ten times the cost. "Qin Law" prohibits the brewing of surplus grain, and sells it for profit. In the entire Qin State, the price of wine is as expensive as gold and jade, but dozens of times the profit can make people crazy, hundreds of times the profit can make people lose their minds, and the stricter the prohibition of alcohol, the higher the profit of smuggling. I don't believe in the Qin law and Qin system, it can really build the whole country like an iron barrel, and the oil can't be poured into the knife and cut it! ”
Especially Hedong! As a new county that has been naturalized for only one generation, there must be some local forces that even the Xianyang monarchs and ministers cannot fully grasp, there must be unruly people who are not suitable for Qin law, and there must be exiles who want to return to their hometown day and night because they do not want to flee to foreign countries for the Qin people......
"If you can smuggle the spirits that the Qin people are hungry for into Hedong, let the grain be exchanged there, and then transported back to Zhao to brew spirits, and so on, a smuggling network can appear. Not only will there be a gap in the big granary in Hedong that cannot be plugged, but the Qin State will also be dragged down by this wound infected by rampant smuggling......"
Thinking like this, Mingyue seemed to be incarnated as a moonshiner in "Atlantic Empire" who fought against the Prohibition Act, and it wasn't until Lu Lingjun's words in his ear that he pulled him back from his contemplation.
"I see."
Lu Lingjun said with a smile: "I thought that Chang'anjun was thinking about where the fief would be located, so I went around to investigate the map!" ”
The speaker had no intention of listening, and Mingyue's heart moved suddenly.
Fief? That's right!
He realized that if he wanted to implement this plan perfectly, it was absolutely unreliable to hand over the entire process of brewing, smuggling, and sales to Lu Buwei, the wolf of Zhongshan, and it was best to obtain a real piece of fiefdom first, and do private work in his own territory to make people feel at ease!
