Chapter 287: Build a high wall and accumulate grain
That night, Zhao Ying and Zhao Wuxian's father and son had a candlelight conversation in the camp tent outside Sheephorn City, and had the first communication on Zhao's future strategy in China.
Located at the top, sitting opposite his son, Zhao Ying felt very wonderful. In the past ten years, except for Dong Anyu, who is also a teacher, friend and minister, and Fu Sue, who is good at analyzing the relationship between princes and doctors, few people can talk to him so deeply about the situation.
Post Wuzheng, Yin Duo, Dou Li and others are not good at this, and the sons are young, incompetent, and incompetent, and no one can be of great use.
However, today, Zhao Ying suddenly found that his young son Wuxian was able to analyze the somewhat vague situation in the past.
Regarding Zhao's development in China in the next five years, Zhao Wuxian's strategy to Zhao Ying is twelve words.
"Build a high wall, accumulate grain, and slow down the small sect?" Zhao Ying tasted the twelve-character strategy, which was really word for word.
"However, since there must be a battle in Liuqing, then the kid thinks that the Zhao family needs forbearance and time now. The high construction of the wall is to strengthen the construction of Jinyang and the Langyu area, which is what my father and Dong Zi have been doing, making Jinyang a barrier for the Zhao family not to fall, and gradually transferring the center of the clan to that area. ”
These are the consistent policies of Zhao Ying, and there is no need to go into details. Although the population of Jinyang is still small and the mountains and forests are dense, under the attraction of various new policies, there are constantly Chinese people migrating. Zhao Ying robbed hundreds of Wei people in Weiguo this time, and also planned to settle there to cultivate.
"Secondly, to accumulate grain, in the words of Wu Xian, is to develop the productive forces, to use goods to grow porcelain to obtain money and silk, to promote the method of subsidizing the field to achieve the cultivation of one corn and one wheat, to increase grain production, to encourage multiplication, to reform the mu system, to strengthen the enthusiasm of the people of the country for agriculture and the recognition of our Zhao family."
As a person of later generations, Zhao Wuxian now has his own territory, and many things can be gradually made, and if he meets the right one, he will also send someone to the lower palace to teach it to the craftsmen. The ultimate goal was to increase the Zhao family's wartime corn stockpiles. Saving the people and strengthening the family strength, after all, enough soldiers and enough food are also the key to determining the outcome of the war.
"The third is Jian Xiaozong. The Zhao clan has Xiaozongwen, Lou, Ma Shou, etc., among which Handan is the largest, with three counties under its jurisdiction, a population of 200,000, and a quarter of the Zhao family's military strength. It has the tendency to be stronger than the stem. The gentleman's Ze, the fifth generation and beheaded, although Handan Wu is still superficially obedient to the Zhao clan, has already given birth to a different heart. And Handan has in-laws with the Zhongxing clan, secretly communicates with the Fan clan, and the connection with Dongyang and Bairen is much stronger than that with Xinjiang and Jinyang, if it is not stopped in time, the matter of Quwo Daiyi may be repeated! ”
"Now that Handan is full-fledged, the method of eliminating it is not clear, and you can use Jin Qi to compete for hegemony. Drive the tiger and devour the wolf. Most of the wars take Handan as the striker, cut off their hands and feet, and try it step by step within five years, and Wuxian will also find a way to infiltrate Handan from the east! ”
Zhao Ying thought about the stakes, and I have to say that Zhao Wuxian's analysis this time is very good, and it seems that after suffering the setback of being expelled, he has indeed grown a lot.
However, Zhao Ying was also a little puzzled: "The last three words, what does it mean to slow down?" ”
Wuxian bowed down and said: "The kid once heard a saying, called Mu Xiu in the forest, the wind will destroy it." When the pile comes out of the shore, the flow will be turbulent, and if the line is higher than the people, the people will not be. ”
"At that time, he was the most talented in the Jin Kingdom, and he was outstanding in politics, military and diplomacy. However, the rich and half-public office, and the half-army of its disciples, how powerful. But because he didn't know how to restrain himself, he openly resisted the ruling during the battle of Yanling, took the limelight, and competed with the monarch's favored ministers for profit. persecuted the virtuous Bo clan, and even dared to embezzle the Son of Heaven Wang Tian. As a result, he was besieged by the monarch, Luan, and Bank of China, and his family was wiped out. ”
Zhao Ying heard the meaning of Zhao Wuxian's words, his face was uncertain, and he glared: "Are you saying that being a father is the same as that, and he is about to be defeated?" ”
Wuxian hung his head: "No, the kid said himself." ”
Half a year ago, wasn't he jealous of the sensitive Wuqing just because of the big tree.
Taking advantage of Zhao Ying's slightly stunned mouth, Wuxian continued to admonish: "Of course, my father has a strong temperament, and he often conflicts with Zhu Qing in domestic and foreign political affairs, and he was suppressed by Fan Ying's jealousy before, and now Zhibo is not a good person. If the Zhao clan has to force their way out of everything, causing Fan, Zhongxing, and Zhi to unite against the Zhao clan, and Wei and Han do not help me, then the Zhao clan is in danger, I am afraid that it will be another clan, and it will be another difficulty in going to the palace! ”
Being reprimanded by his son is a matter of his own style, Zhao Ying's face is slightly sad, but it is good to think about it carefully.
In the two hundred years of struggle between the Qing clan in the Jin Kingdom, there is a general law, but any family that is too prominent and high-profile will always escape the fate of extinction in the end. The Fox Clan, the Zhao Clan, the Di Clan, and the Luan Clan are all prosperous and declining, and only the Zhao Clan, a wonderful flower, can be revived.
So he smiled dumbly and said: "My son is like me, but you can know it, but I didn't realize it, since Fan Ying stepped down, I still felt that no one suppressed me anymore, and I was indeed proud and carried away." ”
He sighed and said: "My son's heartfelt words, I know that my father will temporarily keep a low profile in China, befriend Wei and Han, and try to be tolerant of the Zhi family, and increase the strength of the Zhao family as the first priority." ”
Zhao Wuxian breathed a sigh of relief, secretly glad that although Zhao Ying was not a perfect politician, he was reckless and hard, but he also knew that his mistakes could be corrected, and he did not give a lot of painstaking advice.
In addition, training light knights to adapt to the new war situation and recruiting Jin soldiers to raise them are what Zhao Ying is doing, so there is no need to say anything. He can only act as a suggestor, instead of recklessly thinking and making decisions for Zhao Ying, causing the resistance and unhappiness of this authoritarian dictator.
What Fang just said has always been the grand strategy of the country, but he is outside the Jin State and hangs alone in the west of the Lu State, so he also has to add himself to the strategy of the Zhao family, which is the strategy of "three holes of cunning rabbits".
"My father had ever heard a country proverb called the cunning rabbit in three holes, but he was spared from death. Today, there are only two caves in the Zhao family, and they have not been able to lie down. ”
The gist of it is that a rabbit must have three holes to hide in order to avoid the danger of being hunted by hunters.
Zhao Ying said: "What my son means is that now the Zhao clan has a lower palace and Jinyang, but it is like a rabbit with only two caves, which is still very dangerous. In case the domestic princes fight, if they are at a disadvantage, there is no other way than to protect Jinyang, and my son can run Pubei, so that the Zhao family can have the third cave? ”
"Exactly!"
This is the last resort of the emperor who is scattered in the territory, since he can't immediately connect the feudal towns together, he can only focus on a few of them, even if the main city is overturned, he can still leave some incense. Wei, Han, Fan, Bank of China, and Zhi are actually doing similar things, Han has Zhouyi, and runs Pingyang; The Wei family has an anyi, and stretches out his hand to the west of the river; The Bank of China has Dongyang, and develops the cypress people, drums and fertilizers inhabited by Rongdi.
Zhao Yang endorsed the plan.
Accustomed to being a leader in the martial arts, Zhao Wuxian is already a little unfamiliar with this way of worrying about the attitude of the superior at any time and soliciting opinions on everything before it can be implemented. Now thinking about it the other way, if he stays in the Jin Kingdom, even if he successfully becomes the prince, he will still be controlled everywhere, and he is not as happy as being independent of Pubei and being the lord of the two provinces.
A mountain does not tolerate two tigers, Zhao Ying was once a shirtless wings and shade, but it was also a fence that prevented him from growing independently.
Fortunately, just like when the four sons were divided into townships and governed the people, Zhao Ying did a laissez-faire plan without mercy. In addition to leaving some soldiers and soldiers to help, there were no cronies to parachute in to manage it remotely, which made Wuxian let go of the last trace of concern.
He secretly sighed: "The art of employing people, let it be specialized, believe it must be done, and then you can do your best to achieve things together, it is just a person like Zhao Jianzi." ”
To Wuxian's surprise, two days later, when sending Zhao Ying away from Zhenyi, the Jin State Zhongjun Zuo grabbed Wuxian's hand and said this sentence to him:
"The position of the prince of the Zhao family may have to wait until you return to China before you can be elected!"
Wuxian was stunned when he heard this, and then he was overjoyed.
This is the first time that Zhao Ying has declared that he wants to make Wuxian the son of the Zhao family, in fact, this thought was gradually born after Gu Bu Ziqing's prophecy, and after fainting on the seventh day and seeing the different performance of Wuxian and several other heirs, Zhao Ying made up his mind.
Originally, he planned to officially take him to the Wendi family temple to worship the ancestors after the return of the Song State from Wuxi, and he was named the prince, but who knew that there were huge changes in the meantime. There is no way to return to the country without compassion, Zhao Ying is worried, but also slightly shaken.
The son who has traveled far away has always been close to him......
However, now that he has come to Lu Country for a while, Zhao Ying was surprised to find that Zhao Wuxian's performance once again gave him an incomparable surprise, his strategy, his clear plan for Zhao's future, and in many ways can even make him embarrassed, Zhao Ying's determination was restored again.
In China, since he has decided to befriend the Han family, it is inconvenient to reveal this intention, and it is a safer way to let the position of the prince be vacant. But for Zhao Wuxian, Zhao Ying informed him of the decision in advance to calm his mind.
"The boy will definitely live up to his father's expectations, he will definitely run Pubei well, and strive to return to China as soon as possible!"
After saying this, Ji Huan's figure kept flashing in front of his eyes, causing Wuxian to be irritable, and it was not easy to disperse.
Looking at the eastward march of more than 10,000 troops of the Jin Kingdom, the dust on Tu Dao gradually subsided, and Zhao Wuxian looked back at this vast Pubei land.
"Although my father promised me the position of son, I still have to rely on myself to work hard in the future. In this foreign land thousands of miles away from the lower palace, it is lonely, on the one hand, there is no help, but on the other hand, it can make its own decisions and create a territory of its own. ”
After returning to Zhenyi, he met with Zhang Mengtan, the governor of Yi, who had been busy these days, and Wuxian informed his mastermind of most of the conversations with Zhao Ying.
Zhang Mengtan has now officially become Zhao Wuxian's subordinate, and no longer calls him Zitai, but a doctor.
"The doctor's strategy for the analysis of the Chinese military is extremely exquisite, but there is only one thing that is wrong."
Zhao Wuxian was very puzzled: "What's the matter?" ”
Zhang Mengtan lowered his body, folded his sleeves and said respectfully: "The doctor indirectly killed the grandson of the Fan family, and the Fan family now hates the doctor, and so does the Zhongxing family. The two feuds have already tied a dead knot here with the doctor, so who else can there be other people besides the doctor who started the Liuqing Rebellion? (To be continued.) )
