When Fan Li heard this, he persuaded: "Lord, how can everything in this world be so perfect? Patience, Lord! ”

Gou Jian heard this, gently exhaled a breath of turbidity, put away the regret on his face, nodded, and said calmly: "What Dr. Fan said is very true, but the widow has lost his heart!" ”

"If only the Lord understood! Now the Han barbarians are just ringworm scabies, as long as the Lord has a correct mentality and slowly consolidates the national strength of my Yue country, why worry about the Han barbarians not being destroyed? At that time, the lord can also open up the territory, and he will be more sure to deal with Wu in the future! But there is a premise for this, the Lord must be calm and not let emotions control your heart! Fan Li said seriously.

Gou Jian immediately nodded when he heard this, and said, "Doctor Fan taught a lesson, but I don't know who is better to do the logging thing?" ”

Fan Li pondered for a moment and proposed: "The minister recommended the doctor Zheji, Zheji has a slight friendship with the Han barbarian Yang Zilu, and he should know what wood Yang Zilu likes." It's better to send him to preside over the logging, and then send the Han barbarians! I wonder what the Lord thinks. ”

"Well, Dr. Fan's recommendation is definitely not wrong!" Gou Jian agreed without thinking about it, and a touch of emotion flashed in Fan Li's eyes. The monarch's trust in his subordinates is actually what all his subordinates desire the most, as the so-called soldier dies for his confidant.

…………

When Fan Li offered Yang Zilu advice again, Yang Zilu did not become proud and arrogant as Fan Li said. Because Yang Zilu clearly knows that there is no comparable surname between himself and Yue Guo now. The only thing that is more powerful than the Yue State is the terrain, the places bordering the Yue State and the Han State are all plains, and relying on harassment and defense to counterattack the Han State can make the Yue State helpless.

Yang Zilu doesn't know how long this advantage can be maintained, especially this year, Gou Jian has issued a new law. The general idea is that the birth of a boy can be rewarded with a number of rewards, the birth of a girl can be rewarded with a number of rewards, and after the first daughter, the state pays a certain amount of money and food every month to help raise her. A woman and a man must marry before they reach a certain age, otherwise they will be punished. Neither man nor woman is allowed to associate with the elderly, etc.

In order to improve the population and quality of the Chinese people, there is really no way for this Yang Zilu, and Yang Zilu can't fight for childbirth. It's not just a demographic problem, it's also a food problem. Don't look at Yang Zilu's country now, but if you really count it, the grain produced by Yang Zilu is not as much as the grain produced by Yue Guo in the fields on both sides of the lower Zhejiang Plain.

Therefore, Yang Zilu selected a thousand people from the Shanyue people and the Sanyi tribe to combine the previous five battalions of soldiers and horses to train a brigade of standing troops. Yang Zilu personally served as the brigade commander, and Yu Yu and Black Bear served as thousands of generals respectively. Among them, three battalions of 600 people stayed in Juwu City and were under the management of the Imperial Guard, and the remaining seven battalions were in Dong'an City, which was under the control of the 1,000-strong General of the Imperial Guard. In fact, the power of the Imperial Guardian has exceeded the authority of a thousand generals.

Some people may wonder, what about the previous brigade commanders? They were all relieved of their duties, which was the practice of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. Once all military positions return to the court, they will be automatically relieved of their duties and handed over the tiger talisman. The soldiers, on the other hand, were disarmed and returned to the field, and the country was generally only equipped with a small standing army.

At the same time, at the local level, Yang Zilu also ordered the formation of county soldiers in accordance with the system of this era. Although the county soldiers belong to the local army, the number is not large, and large counties such as Jian'an County have established one and a half battalions, that is, three hundred county soldiers. The small one is only two soldiers, that is, a hundred people, and all the counties together do not have more soldiers than Yang Zilu's brigade. At the same time, the military expenses of these county soldiers are all borne by the local government, although so, Yang Zilu is also very tight about the county soldiers.

The county division that controls the county soldiers is no longer concurrently the county doctor, and regardless of the local supply of military rations, the county division has an attitude of listening to the county doctor and not listening to the announcement. Because the county division is directly under the management of the central government, and the local government does not supply the prescribed share, Yang Zilu will send someone down to question. In addition, the local mobilization of more than 30 soldiers and horses must have the king's tiger charm, but in the event of a rebellion and enemy raids, it is allowed to mobilize troops and horses without the need for a tiger charm.

However, although the system is good, the problem also comes, and the formation of the army can never be separated from one word - money!!

Don't look at the Yue country being tossed by Yang Zilu very badly, Yang Zilu's Han Kingdom is not much better, first conquered the Quartet within a year, and basically unified the Shanyue in the hundred Yue. By fighting with the Vietnamese country again, although it is said that the military spending has been paid indirectly with itself, the country's economy is still inevitably affected. Immediately afterwards, Fan Li, a bad seed who was so bad that pus flowed from the soles of his feet and had sores on the top of his head, gave Gou Jian a plan, so that Yang Zilu had to fight to the death with the Sanyi clan before he could breathe a sigh of relief.

But this matter is not over, although the Sanyi tribe was conquered, but in order to appease, it is also to win over the Sanyi tribe. Yang Zilu ordered the Sanyi tribe's autumn harvest tax to be halved last year, which used to be two out of ten taxes, but this time Yang Zilu's hemorrhage was only one of the ten taxes. The local county doctor naturally vented his bitterness to Yang Zilu.

At this time, the border pass sent someone to report that the envoy of the Yue Kingdom Zheji came to the Han Kingdom, and Yang Zilu was still confused at the beginning, and he didn't know what Gou Jian was doing. Since Goujian blocked the salt of the Han Kingdom, although the people of Han and Vietnam are still trading normally, the official relationship has fallen below freezing, and has reached a low temperature of minus 50 degrees.

However, when the messenger reported that Zheji had brought a batch of wood this time, there were ten mahogany that could only be held by one person in both hands, which was very precious. Naturally, these big trees could not walk on mountain roads, but were dragged by large ships from the sea.

When Yang Zilu heard this, he immediately understood, this is not Gou Jian's trick to deal with his husband? The husband was fooled at the beginning, and spent countless manpower and material resources to build Gusutai, and finally committed suicide in Gusutai, and the state of Wu was officially destroyed.

Originally, Yang Zilu still wanted to accept it, but after thinking about it, he just didn't want it, and his husband definitely wanted it, and besides, isn't he short of money now?

Thanks to the prosperous commercial development of the Han Kingdom, Yang Zilu easily found several Wu Guoda businessmen. As soon as they met, Yang Zilu stated his purpose. These Wu merchants obviously also knew that their monarch liked to build a large number of buildings, and in order to curry favor with the monarch, they also agreed to a deal. In the end, Yang Zilu was paid 200,000 yuan to buy this batch of wood.

Although these money could not help Yang Zilu get rid of poverty and become rich, it also made Yang Zilu's finances a lot more relaxed at once, as long as the sugarcane matured and transported to the north for sale, the finances of the Han Kingdom could be completely relaxed.
