Chapter Seventy-Five: Planning
Inside the house.
The two sat opposite each other, white mist rising from the tea on the table.
Yang Biao's eyes were staring at the scroll in his hand, which marked a forging process that was different from this era, although he didn't understand these, but he roughly understood the value of this thing, far from it, Zhao Guo's old opponent Yan Guo had developed a mature iron craft, eliminating the expensive bronze.
There is not a lot of research on iron craftsmanship in various countries, and the results achieved are about the same, but they are not yet mature and cannot fully replace bronze tools.
Not every country has as rich iron ore resources as Yanguo.
In this era when resources cannot be explored, it is entirely a matter of luck to get such resources.
"I'll take care of this myself!"
Yang Biao took a deep breath, put it into his arms very solemnly, looked at Zhao Jia with a serious gaze, and reassured.
If there is a mature iron craft, some of the old weapons of Daijun can be replaced, compared to those elites in Handan, the treatment of the northern border army has always been extremely poor, and even many times they need to be self-sufficient, and armor weapons and so on are always the most scarce things.
This is also the reason why Wei Wushu of Wei was able to dominate the world back then.
The hoplites were too poor in this era, and no soldier of any country could compete with him head-on.
If it weren't for the loss of his mind by the King of Big Stomach, why would Wei have fallen into this situation.
Ultimately.
Wei State is not stable, once it is strong, it swells, and then it is prosperous and declining, coupled with the topographical factor, it is directly sluggish, and it is still obsessed with the glory of the past, relying on the family belongings accumulated by the ancestors to live, and living day by day.
"There is one more thing that the general needs to investigate, there is a piece of black soil in the bitter cold land of the north, and I want to know the exact location."
As Zhao Jia spoke, he took out a map of Kanyu from the side and pointed to the location in the northern part of Yan Kingdom, which belonged to the territory of the Hu people, for the vast Central Plains, this place undoubtedly belonged to a barren and bitter cold land, and there was no value in even crusade, and naturally no one found the value of the black soil.
This is also the reason why the black soil was not discovered until many years later.
The Central Plains is vast, who would be interested in the territory of the Hu people.
But the value of the black soil, Zhao Jia knows, it is rumored that a chopstick can sprout, although this statement is exaggerated, but it is enough to see its value, even if it is just to dig the soil back, it can also be directly used as fertilizer to increase food output.
"Black soil?!"
Yang Biao looked at Zhao Jia puzzled, not understanding why Zhao Jia was staring at this kind of thing.
"It's very important, it's about increasing food production."
Zhao Jiayan was concise and to the point, reminding Yang Biao of the importance of this thing, if necessary, he didn't mind that Zhao Guo would knock it down in the future, and then let the Hu people plant, in the final analysis, the Hu people went south to loot because of the problem of food, if they could be given a place to farm, the situation would naturally change.
In the past, the Hu people were poor and white, and naturally their minds were full of burning, killing and looting, but if they could farm and support themselves, it would inevitably change.
From a modern point of view, Hu Ren He was not a part of China.
Zhao Jia doesn't mind taming these Hu people from this era, if he wants to extend his hand to Europe in the future, then solving the problem of the Hu people must be done.
βοΌοΌβ
Yang Biao naturally didn't know what Zhao Jia was thinking, he only felt incredible, there was such a magical land in this world that could increase food production?
While speaking, Zhao Jia took out several tool designs related to agricultural affairs, such as wheel plows and cylinder cars.
"These are all given by the Mo family?!"
Yang Biao couldn't help but ask.
Zhao Jia smiled, and said with a thick face: "Are these to be not, I just invented them in my spare time, I hope it can play a role in farming, the general can take it back this time, and after finding the black soil, you can experiment." β
As for the question of the Hu people...... In this era, Zhao Guo's beating of Hu people is no different from beating his grandson, and he can knead it as much as he wants.
If it weren't for the Hu people's territory, there was nothing to grab, and the area was too big, would the Hu people be able to survive until now?
"Do you need to report this to the king?"
Yang Biao looked at Zhao Jia with a somewhat complicated gaze, and asked, he was in awe of Zhao Jia at the moment in his heart, Gongzi Jia deserved to be Gongzi Jia, even if he was in the Qin State as a hostage, he still missed the mother country in his heart, how good it would be if the other party was still the prince of Zhao State.
"What has not yet proved its worth, what is it to report to the father? The general can tell the teacher about this until its value is determined. β
Zhao Jia shook his head and said softly.
Yang Biao nodded, his body was heavy for a while, what Zhao Jia gave him, if it proved useful, its value would be a little terrifying, thinking of this, he couldn't wait to return to Zhao Country quickly, just in case.
Come to think of it.
Yang Biao looked at Zhao Jia and asked, "Gongzi still has something to explain, if not, the last general will return to Zhao today." β
As he spoke, he touched the contents of his arms.
As for the 10,000 war horses with South Korea, it doesn't matter at the moment, there are no others in the Zhao Kingdom, and there is really no shortage of war horses, after all, there are many Hu people in the north who specialize in raising these things.
For Zhao, food and weapons are more important, Zhao lost the Battle of Changping that year, because of the shortage of food, if it can support for a few more months, the outcome will inevitably develop.
Ultimately.
The war of hundreds of thousands of people is a competition for national strength and baggage, and as for the combat strength of the army...... At this level, there is not much difference.
As long as the defenders are not too stupid, the total annihilation of the army will not usually happen.
Battle of Changping...... Who would have thought that Bai Qi would really dare to kill and surrender his pawns, or hundreds of thousands of people.
Who would dare to give this order?!
King Qin didn't dare to make it clear, no one could afford this responsibility, after all, everyone in the world watched, everyone was still a family hundreds of years ago, and killing people was not like this, although the choice was very correct, but is this kind of thing right or wrong?
"Not for the time being, this time the main thing is to get in touch with the general, and by the way, give these things to the general, and the rest, let's talk about it in the future."
Zhao Jia can only give these things at present, step by step, after determining the value of these things, his status in the hearts of Li Mu and others will naturally change, and when Zhao Wangyan hangs up, he can logically plan something.
He still trusts Guo Kai and Zhao Qian's 'ability'.
"Take care, son."
Yang Biao didn't feel tired, and even his eyes were a little more energetic, he bowed to Zhao Jia and said in a deep voice.
Zhao Jia didn't forget to add: "The general remembers to keep it secret, this matter should not be known to too many people, otherwise it will be unfavorable to me." β
"The last will understand."
Yang Biao replied, and then strode towards the outside of the house.
This time I went to South Korea to meet my son, and I really gained a lot, and at the same time I determined some things, these are enough, as for the future, then we will look at it in the future.
He touched the things in his arms, and for a moment he felt that the sky was a little brighter.
Zhao Jia watched the other party go away, a flash of expectation flashed in his eyes, he was very curious about whether there was black land in this world, if there was, some plans might be able to start in advance.
"People are gone?!"
Da Si Ming walked out from the side, staring at Zhao Jia with a touch of doubt in her cold eyes, she came all the way to bring people back, Zhao Jia chatted with the other party for a while, and let people go?
For some reason, she felt so angry that her chest hurt.
Zhao Jia smelled the fragrance wafting in the air, and looked at Da Si Ming, who had just finished washing, her hair was not restrained, her long hair was sprinkled casually on her shoulders, she was wearing a black and red long skirt, and her pretty face had a touch of blush that had just come out of the bath, which was more feminine than before.
In particular, the heavy things in front of him seem to be more magnificent as the restraints are lifted.
Maybe when it fluctuates, it will be even more turbulent.
As if sensing Zhao Jia's gaze, Da Si Ming instinctively raised his hand to cover his chest, his gaze became a little colder, staring at him fiercely, with a slight threat of no lethality.
"Good work."
Zhao Jia was rare that he didn't flirt with the big priest, and said softly.
Da Si Ming was stunned for a moment, quite unaccustomed to Zhao Jia's gentleness towards him, glanced at the other party, and said lightly: "Son, don't forget our agreement." β
"Promise? You mean Canglong Qiju~"
Zhao Jia's eyes moved slightly, and he quipped.
The big secretary didn't answer, just stared at Zhao Jia, if Zhao Jia dared to lie to her, she didn't mind going back to Lord Dongjun to make a small report, it was just in the past, this matter was related to Canglong Qisu, she believed that Lord Dongjun would no longer tolerate Zhao Jia's nonsense.
"The Seven Nights of the Dragon...... South Korea does have some clues, and many people are pursuing, such as Tian Ze and Bai Yifei. β
Zhao Jia's eyes moved slightly, and he gave his answer.
The Yin and Yang family is extremely concerned about the Canglong Seven Houses, and it seems that they are deliberately protecting this secret, which has been the case for hundreds of years, and almost everyone who pursues this secret has been assassinated by the people of the Yin and Yang family.
He didn't mind making some trouble for Tianze and Bai Yifei.
Maybe the dead Tianze is the best Tianze, as for subduing him, Zhao Jia is not sure.
A person who has been imprisoned for more than ten years, his heart is full of hatred, how can he be subdued by Zhao Jia in a few words, not to mention that the credibility of Baiyue's people is really not good.
Da Si Ming's eyes condensed slightly, his cold eyes stared at Zhao Jia, and asked in a deep voice: "What about you?" β
She didn't believe that Zhao Jia was not interested in the secrets of Canglong Qisu.
Zhao Jia chuckled, his eyes wandered on Da Si Ming again, and quipped: "Dongjun can ask me this question, you don't seem to be suitable~"
Da Si Ming endured Zhao Jia's gaze, snorted coldly, and turned around and walked towards her room, she had to change her clothes, otherwise she would always feel that Zhao Jia had seen her whole body, and that feeling made her goosebumps rise.
"Heh~"
Zhao Jia smiled, he was in a pretty good mood at the moment, because everything was going according to plan and nothing went wrong.
As for the safety of Yang Biao's side......
If Ze is making trouble like today, how can there be any leisure at night, not to mention that there are 10,000 war horses as a temptation on the surface, and the night will not tear the skin, even if it is white, he will not dare to do the same.
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
The rescue of the Prince's Mansion continued.
Bai Yifei's figure appeared in another place, here is a lake, the fog in the early morning is very thick, almost obscuring the morning sun, and the surrounding reeds make the light even more dim.
A flat boat was floating on the surface of the lake at the moment, and in the bow of the boat sat an invisible-looking clothed man, who seemed to be fishing.
"How?"
Bai Yifei looked at each other and was concise and to the point.
"Hou Ye has a lot of things to check, so it took a little longer, but one thing can be determined, this Zhao State's son Jia has an excellent relationship with the Empress Dowager of Qin, and he can become the Changxin Marquis of Qin State, which is supported by the Empress Dowager of Qin, even the fief.
Who would have thought that the son of Zhao State would be loved by the queen mother of the enemy country.
Perhaps this has something to do with Gongzi Jia's mother, and it is rumored that Zhao Ji, the empress dowager of Qin, has received favors from the other party in Zhao State. β
The cloth guest said unhurriedly, and at the end, he was also a little surprised, as for the truth...... Who would have thought that the Empress Dowager of Qin and Zhao Jia had that kind of relationship, no matter how powerful his brain was, he couldn't think of that piece, and it was impossible for Lingyike's intelligence network to support him to find out that piece.
Zhao Gao and his nets are not vegetarians.
Bai Yifei asked, "What else?" β
"There is a person in the Qin State who is quite interesting recently, and Master Hou may pay attention to it."
"Who?"
Lingyike said slowly: "Li Si, the same disciple of the ninth prince Han Fei, studied under the Confucian Xunzi, after he entered Qin, he got the importance of LΓΌ Buwei, maybe soon, he will represent Qin into Korea, as for the purpose, it has not yet been clarified." β
"What about Zhao Guo's side?"
Bai Yifei responded lightly, he asked Lingyi Ke to check these, in order to meet Zhao Jia next, he was still a little interested in Zhao Jia.
The business of 10,000 war horses...... Is this the real purpose of the other party?
He didn't think so.
Ji Wuye will be tempted by this big gift, but he won't, because he knows very well that there is no free lunch in this world, and any gift with great temptation will definitely contain a greater conspiracy behind it.
"Li Mu of Zhao has returned to Handan in recent days, and he has not received the edict of Zhao Wangyan, so he returned privately, and may have something to do with this Changxin Marquis."
The clothier smiled and said with interest.
"That's all?"
Bai Yifei asked with some frowns.
He wasn't quite happy with what the Demoiselle had found.
Lingyike said helplessly: "Time is too tight, and what Hou Ye wants to check involves Zhao and Qin, it is not so easy to find out." β
His intelligence network is very strong, but Qin and Zhao are not vegetarians, not to mention that when it comes to such things, he has tried his best to find out these things.
"Keep investigating, I want to know what Zhao Jia is plotting."
Bai Yifei said indifferently.
Hearing this, the clothed guest groaned a little, and said, "He is very close to an accomplice beside Tian Ze, and that person Hou Ye should know, Flame Spirit Ji...... He may also have his eyes on Tianze, and Hou Ye may be able to start from here. β
ββ¦β¦ Flame Spirit Queen. β
Bai Yifei's indifferent eyes were a little more turbulent, and he whispered to himself.
