Chapter 643: Central Plains Scuffle
Regarding the war situation in the Central Plains analyzed by Fan Li for Qingji, as well as the internal instability of the Jin Kingdom, the monarchs and ministers of Wu State present couldn't help but bow their heads slightly and express their approval.
In this case, in fact, Wu Guo can be watched from the wall.
Because, this melee in the Central Plains will not end in a short time.
As a time-traveler, how can you not know this period of history?
This was originally a family infighting between the Zhao family and the Handan family, the large and small clans, but it was used as a fuse to trigger a nationwide civil war in the Jin Kingdom between the six Qings for power and profit.
During this period, Qi Guo, Zheng Guo, and even Zhou Tianzi also took advantage of the civil war of the Six Secretaries of the Jin State to participate in it, assisting the Fan family and the Zhongxing family in an attempt to plot the Jin State.
After eight years of fighting, Jin Zhao Jianzi (Zhao Ying) was able to quell the civil strife.
Eight years!
Counting now, there are at least six years left, and this melee in the Central Plains and the Jin civil war will come to an end.
Standing by and watching, it seems that the benefits to Wu Guo are greater.
"Father, my son's ministers think that what the imperial doctor said is very true."
Gongzi Heng got up and said to Qingji: "For today's plan, what my Wu State should do should be to take advantage of the civil strife in Jin and the chaos in the Central Plains to stabilize the country and make a lot of war money." ”
"I, the State of Wu, have hoarded a large amount of weapons and equipment, and I have a lot of military supplies, and I can take advantage of this time to sell them to all parties in the Central Plains melee, so as to make a lot of money."
Hearing this, before Qingji could speak, Sun Wu, Bo Yu, Wu Zixu and other ministers all agreed.
Over the years, the state of Wu has been rising rapidly, and its national strength is thriving.
From the very beginning, Wu's goal was to annex Chu and complete the unification of the south, and finally to plot the Central Plains and dominate the world.
However, how can such ambitions and ambitions be easily realized?
The pace of expansion of the Wu State was too fast, and the foundation was unstable, even before the battle to destroy Chu, the Wu State was suspended for three or four years, but it still could not make its rear completely stable.
In the eyes of Sun Wu, Wu Zixu, Fan Li and others, at this time, the state of Wu should stabilize its rear, take advantage of the chaos of the princes of the Central Plains, peddle a large number of weapons and equipment, military baggage, and make a lot of war money!
Sometimes, even if it is a celebration, you have to compromise with reality.
Ambition?
Then you have to have the strength to match!
What if, when Qingji led the army to the north to participate in the war and chase the Central Plains, there was a fire in the backyard and wolf smoke everywhere, what could I do?
Is it going to end up like Wu Wangfu in history, who died and the country was destroyed?
No, it won't be that serious.
The worst result is just to launch rebellions in various places, leaving Wu to take care of itself.
Fortunately, Qingji knew that this Central Plains melee would last for several years, and Wu Guo was profitable, so there was no need to rush to participate in it for a while.
This will be a disadvantage!
"Wu Hong."
"Erchen is here!"
"You are solely responsible for selling military supplies to the princes of the Central Plains, let Zeng Dian, Fan Li, and the cadres assist you, remember that everything is based on the interests of the Wu State, don't let the widows down!"
"Son, obey the king's orders!"
Gongzi Hong, who got this important task, couldn't help but have his eyes shining, and agreed with a choked voice.
can make Qingji pay so much attention to and reuse, Gongzihong can be said to die without regrets!
How could Wu become the hegemon of the south in one fell swoop and be the richest country in the world in more than ten years?
Install the latest version. 】
There are many reasons!
In addition to Qingji's efforts over the years, the implementation of the new policy, in line with the principle of inclusiveness and tolerance, has been recruiting talents, building Wu State, developing people's livelihood and commerce, there is also the biggest reason, that is, Wu State's business is very prosperous!
Tea, refined salt, silk, ceramics, weapons, baggage, etc., these things have made Wu Guo a lot of money.
Produced by Wu Guo, it must be a high-quality product!
All kinds of goods from Wu have long been circulating in the markets of other countries and are very popular.
Among them, weapons and equipment, and military baggage occupy a large market share.
Many of the merchants of Wu State turned into arms dealers, who traveled to and from the northern countries all year round, peddling a large number of weapons and military supplies......
In fact, those weapons and equipment, military supplies, and so on were all produced by Wu Guo's professional Ministry of Industry.
There are no middlemen to make the difference!
Those businessmen are also "official businessmen"!
As the melee in the Central Plains intensified, the sales of weapons in Wu were also high.
At this time, seeing that Gongzihong was entrusted with an important task by Qingji, Gongziheng, who was sitting on the side, couldn't help but lower his head, and a haze flashed in his eyes.
His hands, hidden in his sleeves, had unconsciously clenched into fists, and his nails were sunk deep in the flesh, pinching out blood......
Why!
Why!
This is obviously what I advocated first!
Why did his father entrust Wu Hong with a heavy responsibility? Ignore me?
The concubine born to that, why did he fight with me!
Gongzi Heng couldn't figure it out, and at the same time hated Gongzihong even more in his heart......
"Wu Heng."
Qingji screamed, and seeing that Gongzi Heng didn't react, he couldn't help frowning, and said, "Wu Heng!" ”
"Erchen is here!"
Gongzi Heng came back to his senses at this time.
"A month later, the ministers of the court and the central government, as well as the talents recommended by the county magistrates from all over the country, will gather in the Jixia School Palace to participate in the examination. You are elected on behalf of the widow, let Ji Ran, Wen Chong, and Deng Xi assist you, and don't let the widow down. ”
"Sons obey the king's orders!"
Gongzi Heng hurriedly agreed.
It's a lot of fun!
The mountains and rivers are exhausted, and there is no way out, and the willows and flowers are bright and another village!
Perhaps, this is a test for Qingji to Gongzihong and Gongziheng?
Whether it is selling weapons and military supplies to the princes of the Central Plains, or electing officials for the state of Wu, it is not a trivial matter.
However, it is also intriguing that Qingji made such an arrangement.
Sun Wu, Fan Li, Ji Ran and others here are all human spirits, how can they not guess some of Qingji's thoughts?
Selecting talents as officials for the country is a real national matter.
Who has the power to appoint meritocracy?
Undoubtedly, the monarch.
However, Gongzi Heng enjoys the ability to promote talents to Qingji.
In other words, in the exam of Jixia School Palace a month later, Childe Heng was the chief examiner.
Anyone who wants to pass the exam, in addition to their own real talent and learning, Gongzi Heng's reference opinions are equally important......
Of course, the last level is Qingji.
Whether he can be selected as an official and what kind of position he is suitable for depends on Qingji.
In fact, Qingji really intends to end this dispute and elect a suitable prince for the state of Wu.
In the past, Qingji may use the position of the prince to attract the princes to take the heir, and then spur them on.
However, as the melee between the princes of the Central Plains intensified, Qingji needed a prince to supervise the regent of the country for himself, to sit in the capital for himself, and to suppress the old Chu.
