With more than 20,000 Black Water Banner Army, they marched on the pipeline in dense rows, like a walking forest. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Although there are horses and a lot of physical energy is saved, the aqueduct from north to south shows its true effect, the narrow wooden bridge is only enough for two people to pass side by side, and there are several cracks on the bridge deck after half of the people.

The civilian wooden bridge, of course, was not so strong, and the rest of the people had to dismount and move slowly, for fear of breaking the wooden bridge.

This is true in one place, in two places, in dozens of places. Meng Wu was furious, screaming and scolding to tear down the broken wood and fill the damn ditch.

Zhao Zheng patted him on the shoulder and reminded him of the farmer who was not far away, and when he heard that General Meng was going to tear down the bridge, his eyes couldn't contain his anger.

This is their reliance on travel, how to cross a small river without bridges, it is difficult to fill it up, then how can it, without these canals to divert water, how can the crops live, and it is impossible to carry it on the shoulder?

I have to say that this strategy is very poisonous, it is convenient for the people but hinders the march, and the Qin State has to give up one. Of course, if you don't care about the life and death of the people, the Great Zhou counterattack will come back in the future, and the people's will will be strong.

"Hurry up, those who cross the bridge hurry up and get on the horse, the ground is very strong, and you can't collapse." The depressed Meng Wu scolded his subordinates and vented his dissatisfaction.

"Damn, if you go on like this, the wooden bridge will collapse if you walk it again, and the cost of repairing the bridge will be a big expense. Da Zhou gave us a hot potato. ”

Zhao Zheng nodded: "It's hot, but you have to eat it." I'll figure out a way to repair the bridge, and there are only dozens of stone bridges, and it won't cost a few dollars. ”

Meng Wu looked suspicious, a stone bridge is nothing, but dozens of stone bridges, manpower and material resources are added together, and they are built together in a short period of time, which is not a small amount.

"Why, don't believe it, I told you, I earned a million taels of gold in Luoyi, and I'm worried that I have nowhere to spend it."

Zhao Zheng looked back, he really missed the people who sent money crazy in Luoyi, he was so moved. One million taels of gold, except for 400,000 cars as the base gold, the remaining 600,000 taels Zhao is frantically purchasing any materials that can be purchased.

However, there are still 200,000 taels left. The Great Zhou, which was hollowed out by the war, was worthless except food, and what Zhao Zheng lacked the most was precisely food.

Although Ji Yan restricts the outflow of this money out of the surrounding realm, how can he imagine Zhao Zheng's ability to launder money after watching 200 financial programs.

"There aren't many iron mines in the Qin Kingdom, right?"

Meng Wu didn't know what to do, and hesitated: "It's okay, there are a lot of minerals in Shu." ”

Zhao Zhengqi laughed, it has become an open secret, the Qin State is rich in thermal oil and coal, but there is a lack of iron ore and copper ore. This is also the reason why Qin opened up Shuzhong, fighting, serious consumption of weapons, copper and iron ore is indispensable.

"I have 200,000 taels of gold in Da Zhou, all of which are exchanged for copper and iron ore and sold to the Qin State, and the Qin State does not need to pay a penny, but only needs to exchange the same amount of grain, one pound of corn and one pound of iron."

"What"

Meng Wu held his head and said in a lost voice: "Let me slow down, you have 200,000 taels of gold in Da Zhou, this is true; You have to buy it all into copper and iron, and it will be done; But exchanging the same amount with the Qin State, you are crazy, this... You're going to die. ”

One stone of rice is more than ten dollars a year, and a disaster is more than a hundred dollars, but no matter how much you calculate, it is not worth a pound of iron or a pound of copper. In this era, copper and iron coins are strictly war materials.

"How can you pay for your death, it's all for the Qin State", Zhao Zheng looked up at Tiandao at a forty-five degree angle, "For the happiness of my people, even if this prince loses to drink porridge, why not?" ”

Meng Wu looked at him in surprise, and said for a while: "I understand, no wonder they all say that you must be careful when chatting with you, especially when you are sad, it is easiest to fall for it." ”

"I'm sincere," Zhao Zheng said sadly.

Meng Wu waved his hand lightly: "I don't believe it." ”

"Uh......, okay", Zhao Zheng patted his forehead and smiled, "Martial artists are all playing conspiracy, and this era is getting more and more difficult to mix."

Meng Wu hugged his arms with an expression of "I have already seen through everything".

Zhao Zheng glanced at him and said: "The Blue Wolf Legion ravaged Hebei County, just in time for the farming, and now hundreds of thousands of people are displaced and fleeing from the ruins.

Helplessly, Cheng Zhou fought with my Great Qin, and the grain and grass were exhausted. On one side is a war machine waiting to be fed, on the other side is a poor homeless, but there is only one food, if you are Zhou Tianzi, who do you choose? ”

"Of course, it is the displaced people, and the people are the foundation of the country", Mengwu is confident. Unexpectedly, as soon as he opened his mouth, Zhao Zheng laughed and shouted "Wrong".

"The homeless, the displaced people, since their homes are gone, can they be counted on to be loyal to the Son of Heaven, and whoever gives food at the moment will be loyal to whom.

But the army is different, there is food and salary, even if it is harsh, the army will only be loyal to Zhou Tianzi.

Not to mention ......"

Zhao Zheng sneered: "In their eyes, the homeless people will die when they die, but they will save food, and if the army is in chaos, the society will be finished." ”

"So you will also choose the army", Meng Wu glared at Zhao Zheng fiercely, as if he wanted to see through his heart.

The sun was tilting to the west, and in the flowing black torrent, the two figures paused, in stark contrast to the moving sun, the flowing black torrent.

"Of course I will choose the army," Zhao Zheng said with a smile.

"You have to choose the army", Meng Wu turned over and got on his horse, "because Lao Tzu is full, you can continue to be king." ”

There was only one of the two paused figures, and Zhao Zheng said to himself: "When you asked for the people's life, you almost forgot that you are also a nobleman." I'm pretty satisfied. ”

The military order was issued in the middle of the road, reaching Xianyang and Luoyi respectively, and half a month later, the first copper-iron grain exchange was carried out in Hanguguan, and a total of one million stone of grain was exchanged in the following months.

Nominally an exchange, in fact, both sides were Zhao Zheng's subordinates, and the business between the left hand and the right hand took advantage of the extremely unbalanced price difference in the Great Zhou. In the months that followed, the Qin state exchanged 100 tons of copper and iron ore for a million stone of grain.

There is grain in the west of the river, and the displaced people are pouring in, like flowing water can not be stopped, some nobles open the passage for the displaced people to leave, and the displaced people who have no arable land and no labor will only harm the place.

Zhao Zheng just wants to harm the place, otherwise how could Hexi become the land of Qin. These displaced people arrived, and each household was given food rations and a certain amount of land according to the population.

The aborigines of Hexi were reluctant, but they couldn't stop the outnumbered people, so they had to endure this breath and give a part of their land to the displaced people.

But it was far from enough, the hard-working Chinese people could cultivate 50 mu per person, while the Hexi half of the county controlled by the Qin State could only give 100 mu to each household. Half of the labor force is idle, so the bridge will be repaired, and it will save the need to recruit people from the Qin State.

It was worth the trip, after Zhao Zheng arrived in Xianyang, hundreds of officials went out ten miles to greet him, and the people did not stop from Tongguan, cheering the prince's return along the way.

"Look, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's car is driving."

All the hundreds of officials hula ran over and surrounded him, chattering and singing praises to Zhao Zheng, praising him for his righteous act of going to Zhou alone to recover the Hangu Pass that the Qin State had lost for 30 years.

Cheng Jiao stood in the forefront, but after the hundred officials ran away, he became the last column. Looking at the flattering officials, he said disdainfully: "The grass on the wall falls with the wind." ”

"Yes, the wind in Xianyang is really not small."
