Chapter 847: Changing to Summer
PS: There are two more chapters tonight
After Yu Xi and Yidun and his party established friendship with Tu He Junchang and the minister in their private name, they went to Daicheng again. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info generation is also a semi-agricultural and semi-animal husbandry Rong people, so the Dai City is not large, only equivalent to the size of a county in the Jin Kingdom. Because Daijun loved Ji Huan and mixed his personal feelings into state affairs, the relationship between Daiguo and Jin was tense, and the sentence note was closed, but Dairen still welcomed the arrival of smugglers.
As soon as the caravan arrived at the Daicheng Bazaar, it was surrounded by the Dairen who had come to buy Chinese goods, and Yu Xi was wary of these future enemies, but Yidun was not surprised.
"Over the years, the tribes of the generations have migrated less and less, and have settled down along the Sanggan River to establish a liju, but unfortunately they are not very good at metallurgy. Therefore, although the generation can plant some land, but it is only slash and burn, not mulberry hemp, and the woven fur is not as beautiful as the silk of the Jin Kingdom, and eating too much buttermilk meat will make the stomach blockage, and it is not as durable as rice noodles. You can only use dogs and horses to exchange gold tools and farm tools with the Jin and Yan countries, and if the border stoppers are cut off, the life of the generation will not be easy. ”
From a macro point of view, unlike Donghu further north, Daidi's economy has been linked to Zhao, Yan, and Zhongshan, and it is difficult to develop independently without China's things.
Yi Dun said: "Therefore, although the monarchs and ministers of the generations still do not have crowns and belts, lack court etiquette, and have few legal constraints, but over time, I don't think there is much difference between the Chinese princes. ”
Yu Xi was disdainful: "Rong Di is Rong Di, how can it become Zhuxia?" ”
After getting acquainted with Yu Xi, Yi Dun was also able to boldly express his opinion: "Otherwise, the number of Chidi, Changdi and other departments is not as good as that of the middle princes, but the reason why they are strong enough to destroy Xing Powei and go deep into Qilu and make China endless is because their food and clothing are different from those of the princes, and the people's customs are fierce." Slowly the countries of Rong Di settled down, and the Jin Kingdom began to make peace with Rong under the auspices of Wei Jiang, exchanging their land for the food and clothing of the Jin Kingdom, and the monarchs began to like the things of the summer, but they did not know that the summer things were only tithes, and the Chidi were all returned to the Jin! ”
He excitedly imagined: "Since Wei Jiang and Rong can succeed, it is not impossible to change Yi Xia to Yi. If I were to run the Biansai business, I would instead expand the trade with Rong Di such as Dai and Lou Fu, let the goods and culture from China infiltrate the tribes, and then induce them to settle down, and encourage Rong Di Jun to imitate China for a long time and build palace houses, which will inevitably exhaust the people's strength, and no longer have the courage of riding and archery in the early years. When the time comes, the customs will be suddenly closed and the inflow of goods will be prohibited, then Rong Di will be chaotic, and then a division will be under the Rong City, then the country, Lou Fu, etc. can surrender without a fight! ”
Yidun's idea is to rely on economic warfare to solve the problem, rather than resorting to force.
Yu Xi shook his head: "According to your method, it will take at least twenty or thirty years to operate, but Shangqing will need a few years to see results." Or the sword is more convenient, I think this generation of national armament is not much better, not only with the internal Tu He contradictions, the generation of the tribes are not always the same opinion, if I bring the cavalry, it is not difficult to break the dynasty, Shangqing is right, for those who resist in the corner, to be as cruel as winter, cut off their heads with blades, trample their pastures and farmland, and then take their wives and daughters for themselves, and their cattle and sheep are compensated for the border people who have been repeatedly invaded. “
Yidun was a little stunned: "But that can only conquer for a while, and you can't turn it into your own......"
"War is our business, what do you know as a businessman? As for how to operate after the capture, you will dedicate what you said today to Shangqing's choice! ”
In order to avoid the suspicion of the generation, they did not stay in the city for too long, and soon left the south and returned to the territory of the Jin Kingdom through the endless remnants living in the "Poor Fish Hill".
"The north of this poor fish hill is Dai, the west is Jin, the south is Zhongshan Xianyu, and the east is Yan Guo, which is extremely important."
This place is also the Reverse Horse Pass in later generations, and it is also an important pass, and the mountain trail taken by the caravan is called the "Flying Fox Road".
The group set off in January this year, and when they returned to Huo Ren in a circle, it was already February and a half of the warbler's **** long.
A new batch of immigrants have come here from Jinyang, settled down, the Xinding Basin of later generations is vast and uninhabited, put a fire on the edge of the grass and trees, and then cultivate a little, a good land will be there, the county will distribute ploughs, livestock and seeds, in addition to the peach hill of the Lu country, several iron workshops have been established in Handan, the eldest son, Zhao's agricultural tools and iron tools are gradually on the right track, so that the speed of land reclamation is twice the result with half the effort, a large area of forests falls, more minerals are excavated, this is the miracle of the Iron Age.
Although the Zhao family promised that each household would get 100 mu (Zhao mu is the same as Qin mu, equivalent to 0.295 mu of the city now), but when they first arrived, the manpower and animal power were not enough to cultivate so much, and the immigrants could only take care of the land within their ability, and when the output was produced in the autumn, the government would buy the grain in their hands at a high price for military use.
In addition to these people's camps, there were also military camps, and their requirements were to be self-sufficient after training, and to grow enough food to eat in winter.
The cavalry did not need to farm, they established a "riding town" on the large grassland on the bank of the Hutuo River, where more than 1,000 people and 2,000 horses practiced the method of riding and archery.
Like the tuntian, the farmers, and the soldiers, they are all preparing for a big operation when the horses are fattened after autumn......
All of the above, Zhao Wuxian was handed over to the new "Taiyuan County Guard" Dong Anyu to preside, and only Dong Anyu had enough prestige to make the Taiyuan counties that originally went their own way obey the dispatch.
As for himself, he returned to Tonglu to meet with Wei and Han to discuss the increasingly tense relations between Qin and Jin due to the Hexi and Taolinsai issues. After verbally promising that if the Qin State and the remnants of the Zhi clan crossed the river to attack Wei, Zhao Han would definitely help him, and Wuxian rushed to the Taoqiu of the Cao State, and he must participate in the "referendum" of the Cao State to decide the existence and abolition of the monarchy as an arbiter......
……
After the rebellion of the people, Taoqiu quickly ended the anarchy and chaos and returned to its former prosperity. Without the large sum of money that must be handed over to Cao Bo every year, the city tax can be used for road construction, education and promotion, as well as new industry encouragement and trade road development.
Especially since the beginning of the previous year, with the end of the Jin civil war, the trade exchanges between the princes began to revivenation, and the trade volume of Taoqiu has increased repeatedly, which has also made Zigong's prestige flourish day by day. Today's Zigong takes "Tao Zhu" as his official title, rather than Duanmu Ci, who is full of patriotic colors, and he, an outsider, has finally gained a firm foothold here.
However, there is still one step left before he can truly take charge of Cao Guo justifiably.
Originally, it was decided at Zhao Wuxian's wedding banquet last year that a public meeting should be held after the harvest last autumn to decide the existence and abolition of the monarchy system of Cao State, but the Cao people regarded Cao Bo's family as enemies, and Cao Boyang, who was supposed to come back in person to participate, was blocked several times: I heard that he was coming, and the Cao people, regardless of men, women, old and young, drove cars, rowed boats, walked, and spontaneously went to the border of Cao to stop him. Cao Bo was helpless, and he couldn't get a quick response when he turned to Zhao Wuxian for help, so he could only take a step back and let his newly adult son participate in these public meetings instead of him, so it was delayed until the beginning of spring this year.
In addition to the arbiter Zhao Wuxian, there were also three friends of Cao State, Lu, Song, and Wei, Wei sent Gongzi Nan, and Lu Guo came with Zhao Cao, a six-year-old general......
And the Song Kingdom, it was Da Wu Nanzi who came!
