Volume 8: Chapter 264 of "Magnificent Rivers and Mountains": Choose the right time
Walking along the promenade is actually one of the few things that Lin Bin likes to do, he has always thought that in this environment he can properly relax and adjust his mentality, and then look at some of the furnishings in the courtyard in the cold air to vigorously compete for life can also strengthen his mind not to get lost, he occasionally walks to the courtyard to look up at the sky, to see the clouds in the sky or what it is, and in this case it is generally waiting for people.

Lin Bin is also a hegemon, according to his identity, only others wait, and others didn't let him wait for things to happen, but many rules at this time are useless to him, he is such a special person, maybe because of this specialness that gives him his current status?
According to the news received one after another in the past few days, Webster Korea has almost completed the national mobilization, so it can be seen that Webster Korea was preparing for war as early as half a year ago? At that time, there were not many opponents of Wei's North Korea, and the countries that could be regarded as opponents were either Su Shen or Nanwo ~ Beiwo. It's amazing that Wei's original enemy of North Korea is now her allies, fighting for the same goal, so the world is really impermanent, and it is not surprising that a mouse falls in love with a cat one day.
Lin Bin has always had a point of view, he thinks that Wei's North Korea can be solved without spending much effort at all, the reason is that it took just over a year for the Han State in history to destroy Wei's Korea, according to the way of deduction, now the combat effectiveness of the Han Department is not worse than that of the Han State, so the Han Dynasty's attack on Wei's Korea should also be very smooth, right?
In fact, it was just that they didn't care much about Wei's North Korea to suffer such a loss, and many people made a mistake. This mistake is not in the deployment, but in the overall strategic thinking, but in the dispatch of the arms. It was this very basic understanding that was ignored, which led to the delay in the progress of the war.
In all seriousness, this is again an inevitable mistake, and the reason comes from the war thinking of this era. In this era, the concept of war is still very vague, the definition of the arms of the army is very vague, and there is no specific kind of army that should accept what kind of characters is reasonable. The nomads have been using cavalry to attack the city, isn't it a bit difficult to expect the soldiers of this era to think clearly about this layer?
However, it is really stupid for such a mistake to appear in Lin Bin. He is also currently in the process of self-examination, so that he will accept the fact of the defeat in the war against Wei's North Korea and not put the responsibility for the defeat on his subordinates.
Xilin is not a good place to be. It's poor and cold, and if there's anything good about it, it's probably just raw materials and transportation. Xilin is very close to the Great Khing'an Mountains, and it is very convenient to obtain materials on this basis. There is also a natural shipping line next to it. The waterway of Rao Leshui can transport supplies to the east ~ west very quickly.
Simple two basic conditions constitute the conditions for Xilin to become the political center of the Han Dynasty, in ancient times, whether it was military or people's livelihood dependence on wood is very large, to the point that people can not imagine, to build a spear Ge needs a wooden pole, pine is relatively straight and tough compared to other wood, simple frosted wooden pole is a weapon after loading Ge.
So far, people can't do without wood, whether it's cooking or industry, without wood there is no development at all. Wood can be turned into charcoal after simple processing, and the value of charcoal is also very valuable. There are so many places where you can use it.
As for the transport lines...... Do you want to say anything more? The transportation line is the lifeline, and this cannot be changed in any era!
Relying on the convenience of geographical location, only in a few periods, the originally desolate Xilin because of the introduction of Chinese civilization technology, it is like a unique treasure like bamboo shoots, a simple house because there are enough materials to be built quickly, every day from Xilin out of the wood is thousands, this is still because the military occupies a large number of transportation quotas, during the war all priority for the army to provide logistics.
Lin Bin is still thinking nonsense, Xilin is good, but it is too close to the Zuoxian court of the Han State and the Xiongnu, and if one is not careful, it will be affected by the war, once the war occurs near Xilin, whether it is from political or industrial considerations, Xilin may have a fatal impact on the fast-growing tribe as soon as the fire stops......
"It is still necessary to find a way to eliminate the surrounding threats, develop the Central Plains-style fixed agricultural land as much as possible, and form an effective fortress system to ensure the safety of Xilin."
With the demise of Su Shen, the few mines occupied by Su Shen undoubtedly became the property of the Han Dynasty, perhaps more precisely - they all became Lin Bin's private property!
Speaking of private ownership, Lin Bin has recently been considering whether to relax the restrictions on private ownership, appropriately increase the channels for obtaining the private property of the subordinates, use this method to increase the production enthusiasm of the subordinates, and wait for the time to be ripe to implement a comprehensive social system, after all, if you want to make the subordinates firmly nailed to one place, and are willing to shed blood for that place, you need to make the subordinates motivated.
If you want to take it first, you must give it first, and you always need to let the people know what kind of benefits they can get by holding that place, so that they will not be forced but willing to take the initiative to maintain it. In this way, it seems that Lin Bin has lost a lot of property, but he has gained more because of the loss.
Sounds contradictory? There is indeed a bit of a contradiction, and there are too many involved......
Lin Bin is still aimless, this kind of behavior will continue until the person he is waiting for does not appear, there is not a lot of time like this, about a quarter of an hour of waiting, the person he wants to see comes.
The first thing Han Anguo and Zheng Yuan did when they arrived was to make amends.
Lin Bin didn't like the empty etiquette, he asked directly: "What happened?" ”
Han Anguo and Zheng Yuan glanced at each other, they smiled at the same time, and Zheng Yuan replied: "A few juniors are arguing, and it is interesting to listen to it for a while." ”
Lin Bin has several advantages, the best advantage is that he will not get angry casually, he doesn't want to dig into it with a simple "um", and the reason why he signaled to Han Anguo and Zheng Yuanlai is not to talk nonsense, but to talk about business.
In Lin Bin's current status, there was no need for him to open his mouth, someone would automatically bring tea and pastries to the two new ministers. In fact, if Lin Bin needs to open his mouth before someone comes to entertain him, then as the old man (housekeeper) who is responsible for taking care of his daily life is a dereliction of duty, and dereliction of duty here is equivalent to death.
Let's be honest. Lin Bin is not very accustomed to the tea of this era, at this time, if you want to drink tea need to be boiled temporarily, the so-called boiling tea is not simply throwing a few pieces of tea to boil on an open fire, what kind of tea needs to add what kind of ingredients, heat and materials can always affect the taste of tea, whether the operation of the process is reasonable, whether it is skilled, whether the order of putting materials is correct, all kinds of all kinds of giving birth to the so-called tea brewing skills - that is, tea ceremony.
Lin Bin rarely paid attention to technical matters. He also didn't have time to study roasted tea, and if he had to say anything, it was agriculture.
"It's important to invite you two here. I would like to ask you to share your views on the Han Civil War. ”
Han Anguo and Zheng Yuan looked at each other as usual and fell silent, and Zheng Yuan simply stood up and walked with his hands behind his back. Han Anguo focused on the tea-making skills of the little girl next to him.
Lin Bin is not in a hurry, he has his own thoughts in his heart, calling Han Anguo and Zheng Yuanlai just want to weigh the gains and losses, and by the way, to verify whether his ideas are mature.
Zheng Yuan is a monograph on jurisprudence. Legalist matters may be asked. But asking about state affairs is a bit of a bull's head. The so-called art industry has a specialization, the political talent is the political talent, and the history of the officials is the history of the officials, he naturally thought: "It must involve the revision of the law, and this question is to ask Han Anguo." ”
Han Anguo knew that he couldn't hide, so he stubbornly said: "I don't know what is wrong with the king?" ”
Lin Bin didn't speak immediately, he followed Han Anguo's line of sight, and the little girl making tea was brushing 'Jue' with something similar to a brush. 'Jue' is a kind of bottle, because the brewed tea is inherited from the Chinese civilization. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the main role of drinking utensils was to indicate status, and those who could afford to use the 'Jue' needed to have a title.
'Jue' can be said to be the earliest wine vessel, which is functionally equivalent to the modern wine glass. Popular Zi Xia, Shang, Zhou. The general shape of 'Jue', there is a stream in front, that is, a groove for pouring wine, a sharp tail in the back, a cup in the middle, a puff on one side, a three-legged bottom, and a column when the flow and the mouth of the cup are crossed, which is a common feature of 'Jue' in various periods.
The only thing Lin Bin didn't understand was what the little maid who made tea washed and drank with the 'Jue', but this shows that Lin Bin has been busy with military affairs and really rarely enjoys a luxurious life, the ancients need to rinse their mouths first and then quote tea after drinking tea, and rinse their mouths with the liquid of 'Jue' is also particular, and non-dukes and marquis are not allowed to use 'Jue', which is a way to show nobility and express status.
"I have three questions."
"Your Excellency, please speak."
"The first question is why you are strongly advocating going south. Not...... You must answer honestly and don't misjudge me. ”
"This ...... The last general advocated that there was no other intention to go south, because Liu An raised troops to rebel, and the Han State would do its best to quell the chaos, so that when the north was empty, he took several counties of the Han State as a buffer, and in the future, the Han State wanted to raise troops to attack me, and the monarch still had space as a buffer to discuss countermeasures with the ministers. ”
"So I just want to take down the number of counties of the Han Kingdom, and I don't want to win the Central Plains?"
"It's hard to say." When Han Anguo saw Lin Bin looking at him with blazing eyes, he knew that there must be a saying, "If the Son of Heaven can quickly pacify Liu An, the monarch will naturally not be able to enter the Central Plains, at that time, the three counties and two kingdoms of the Han Kingdom are the limit, why not take advantage of it, it is really impossible to miss the opportunity!" If the Son of Heaven can't quickly pacify Liu An, the two sides fall into a confrontation or stalemate can make a big difference, and immediately the monarch has a lot of choices, just watching the two sides fight is a big benefit, and when the two sides are fighting each other, the king will wave his army south to fight the Central Plains, why not be happy? ”
Lin Bin was pondering Han Anguo's words, he thought that Han Anguo's idea was correct, the Han Ministry must ensure its own security, and if you want to ensure security, you need to keep growing, and if you want to grow, you can only seize the interests of others.
This time, no matter what the Han Department does, they will be drawn into the Han Civil War, and both sides of the civil war will not believe that Lin Bin is willing to do nothing and just watch from the side, the Han and the two sides are destined to be both defensive and wooing Lin Bin, and in the end, whether Liu Che wins or Liu An wins, Lin Bin will become their primary enemy.
War is simply unavoidable, so whether it is Liu Che or Liu An, their best plan is to pull Lin Bin into the quagmire of war as soon as possible, and they can't let Lin Bin keep an eye on the side and have the opportunity to continue to annex small countries to strengthen themselves, even if a three-way melee is finally formed, it is better than two parties desperately fighting and one side is happy alone.
The current status quo is that Lin Bin doesn't do what he wants. Everything is still involved in the current situation, and it can't be broken if you want to.
"Well...... I see."
Han Anguo laughed loudly: "The king is clearly decisive! Tribal luck! The vassals are very fortunate! ...... this second concern? ”
"I'm outside the city. The situation is different from Liu An and Liu Che. Liu An's strength is poor, but he only needs to face Liu Che's pressure. Liu Che has Liu An to the southwest and us to the northeast, so we need to deal with pressure from both directions. We have the Xiongnu in the west; There is Xianbei in the north; to the east is Webster Korea; There is the Han Kingdom in the south, and the situation is very different from the two of them, and it is not an exaggeration to use internal and external troubles and enemies on all sides. I only ask you, if a war starts, if troops are raised from all sides to attack. Without the channel to purchase grain, can the grain and straw cope with it? ”
This time, Han Anguo pondered for a long time, and the geographical location of the Han Department was indeed too unfavorable. The establishment time is too short, and Lin Bin's high-pressure methods are the foundation of the rule, but it has been swimming all the time before, and it is not obvious that there are internal troubles. Once settled, internal troubles seem to be a bit urgent. The last time the internal conflict reached a certain pressure, Lin Bin launched a war against the Liaodi countries. The use of war to attract pressure, pay attention to the external introduction rather than elimination, this time the war in Liaodi has not ended, and the pressure of the Han State has pounced again, which is indeed too tricky.
"All my people are soldiers...... At present, there are millions of people in armor and more than 150,000 elite people......"
"Needless to say, the number of soldiers."
"The last general...... Clear. Your Excellency doesn't want to start a war in the short term, so it's better for my ministry to recuperate? ”
"Wei's North Korea still has to fight."
"The general of the internal affairs understands a little, if the king wants to rule the fields...... Tuntian took a long time. The labor required is too heavy, and if there is no war, it will be good. It is not advisable to have a lot of war now. In the end, the general thought that the Liao land was not suitable for farming, and the land of the Liao land was fertile, but it was ...... Mountainous and forested, rocky and not to mention, the soil surface of Liaodi is too hard, and it is time-consuming and laborious for oxen to pull and cultivate. Because of this, the last general recommended the king to conquer the arable land of several counties of the Han Kingdom. ”
At this time, Lin Bin was silent, he checked the land he had occupied many times, except for a few plains that could be used for farming, there was really no place to cultivate, which was very different from what he knew in later generations. It's not that he didn't think of the big land in the Northeast Plain, but now there is too little grain that can be cultivated, and he doesn't know if he can grow if he plants it without testing and careful investigation, but what about the harvest when it grows.
"There is a land for growing grain in the newly occupied land, but it is too cold, and there must be few people who are willing to move there......"
"New land? Cautious? ”
"Definitely! It is above the prudence, and the king calls it the Northeast Plain. ”
"Oh!? What can be planted there? ”
"The last general's clan fought with the army, and when Commander Chen was fighting in a roundabout way, he inadvertently wrote a letter home, in which he said that the soil was very black, and that it was not poisonous land but good land, and that the land was extremely fertile, and if he planted wheat, he would definitely harvest a lot. The nephew of the clan has been a farmer in the township, and he understands this, and he must have a basis for daring to speak. ”
"It's a good thing! He's still in the Northeast Plains, right? ”
"At this time, he is no longer in the Northeast Plain, and he is with the army in Sushen Wangcheng, accompanied by Commander Chen to listen to the dispatch."
Lin Bin couldn't sit still, he walked back and forth, suddenly stopped and turned around: "Follow Chen Xi?" Now a school captain? Very good! ”
Han Anguo said very facelessly: "It's not a captain, it's a personal soldier......"
Lin Bin said eagerly: "Huh? Let him stop being that personal soldier, and go to the Northeast Plain to investigate in person, if he can really study the cultivation of wheat in the Northeast Plain...... Barley or Wheat? Forget it, let's investigate first! Whatever is suitable for planting, as long as it can be eaten! ”
Han Anguo wanted to respond very much, and being personally designated by the monarch was an opportunity to ascend to the sky, which would be beneficial to the development of the family in the Han Dynasty and would not do any harm, but he couldn't respond, so he had to pretend to be bland: "The nephew of the clan is a registered sergeant, and he cannot be dispatched at will if he is not a monarch or has an emergency military order." ”
Lin Bin didn't mean to let Han Anguo transfer privately at all, as for the grain that could really grow profitable, an order from the subordinates or something would be enough.
"Then this second article is almost solved."
"Please make the third article clear."
"You can't solve the third one." Lin Bin said and looked at Zheng Yuan, who was still wandering around the courtyard, "Mr. Zheng! ”
Han Anguo was a little dizzy when he heard "you can't solve it", if he served others, he would have a bright future when he heard such a sentence, fortunately it was Lin Bin who said that there was no malice in it.
Zheng Yuan walked back, bowed and said, "What did the king teach me?" ”
Lin Bin made a gesture of sitting, and he only now had time to pick up the wooden bottle full of tea, and poured it into the cow as if he had to drink it all: "How is Mr. Zheng's revision of the law?" ”
Zheng Yuan calmly: "It's become eight chapters." ”
The new law was initially set up in 13 volumes and 26 chapters, among which the Qin law and the Han law were widely used, and in view of the different conditions of the current situation, there were those who revised it and those who rewrote it. Nine of the thirteen volumes deal with civil affairs, three volumes involve nobles, and the last volume involves the royal family, whether it is civil or royal family or aristocracy, in fact, it is to limit what people should do and what they should not do, what they have done to break the law, and what kind of punishment they will suffer if they break the law.
"It's a bit slow!"
"Your Majesty, the Dharma Master is also a big deal! Be cautious and judge! ”
Lin Bin bowed, of course, the law is a big thing but it is also an important matter, he now desperately needs to manage the civil law, without this law, it is impossible to form an effective and clear supervision of the society, and it is difficult to quickly deal with the people in wartime without letting the internal chaos happen!
"In batches! Hurry up and compile the civil law, and I'll do it in a month! ”
Zheng Yuan's attitude was extremely resolute: "A month is too short to take it out!" ”
Lin Bin looked at Zheng Yuan steadily, and Zheng Yuan was not afraid to look back. He knew that the scholars and believers of this era were very good, but he didn't know how good they were, they looked at each other for about a minute or two, and when they saw that Zheng Yuan's eyes didn't blink, he probably knew how good they were.
"How long will it take?"
"Put down the royal family volume and the noble volume and the civil file, which can be revised in a month and five days."
Lin Bin has the urge to vomit blood, and Zheng Yuan will not say it tactfully for five days, but it is Lin Bin, who is now the young man in the Han Kingdom who has even been sentenced to palace punishment (castration) by historians.
After finishing the business, Lin Bin's serious face disappeared, he was finally able to sit down peacefully, just when he sat down and wanted to relax and drink tea, Han Anguo asked very slowly: "What about the Han Kingdom?" ”
"Two words: knock and drag."
Han Anguo is actually not a dull guy, he reacts very quickly and knows how to behave, and now he is deliberately pretending: "This is the case on both sides? ”
"Yes. Now I can't express my position openly, and the strategy for the Han State is to blackmail and delay time, and make every effort to solve Wei's North Korea. ”
"What if the Han Kingdom takes the initiative to attack?"
"No, Liu An doesn't dare, Liu Che doesn't want to be stupid."
"What if the Han Kingdom doesn't come to attack?"
"Take full possession of the territory, rest for five years, and after five years...... Attack! ”
As for who to attack, there are many targets to choose from!
