Wei Si, Li Kui, and Pang Juan gathered together again and began to discuss important matters.

However, today's matter is mainly a political matter, so Pang Juan just put up a big head to listen, and he is not ready to speak. Just like when Pang Juan and Weiss discussed military affairs, as long as Li Kui was not asked, Li Kui generally did not speak.

The reason why Pang Juan is here is more to show Weiss's importance to Pang Juan, and it is also Weiss's desire to unite people's hearts.

In the past few months, the vassals have been trying to move, and the princes have been paying the price and taking over new territories. It seems that Han Zhao and Wei San's clan seem to have missed this time in vain and have done nothing, just like fools.

In fact, this is not the case, and the major powers have been very busy in the past few months.

First of all, there is the establishment of technology alliances.

Which technology, how much money to invest, and how to divide the results if they produce results? If there is still no result by then, do you continue or what?

Another example is in the field of basic materials, where money contributes power, and resources contribute resources, it sounds very simple, but how much money corresponds to how many resources correspond to how much manpower? Countries with more resources must want to take advantage of their own countries.

At this time, even if it is only one percentage point, when it comes to implementation, it will be tens of billions, hundreds of billions or even trillions of wealth.

This must not be carefully investigated, studied well?

From the princes meeting to reach a preliminary vision, to the repeated pulling of the people below, various investigations, arguments based on reason, and even scolding, and then to the final implementation, it is not so easy.

And for the Han Zhao Wei San clan, they have a more important thing to do, that is, to occupy the territory of the Zhi clan, and then divide the family peacefully.

Occupy the territory, this thing is done.

The matter of peaceful separation is very fatal, and now they are trying to quarrel, and they all want to take advantage of it as much as possible.

There are a lot of things.

"Your Majesty, in the past, in order to better prepare for the war, both we and the Zhi clan contracted out agriculture, and now about ninety percent of the land in our entire Jin Kingdom is cultivated in Yancheng."

Looking at this data, Weiss didn't know what to say.

However, Wei Si was a very good prince after all, so he smiled: "In the past, everything was to defeat the Zhi clan, and at that time, it was normal for everyone to have a close relationship with Yancheng. ”

In a word, Weiss set the tone.

At that time, even if he was alone, he was close to Yancheng. At that time, who could have known that we would be able to defeat the Chi clan so smoothly? ”

"Therefore, in order to win at that time, everyone signed a lot of contracts with Yancheng, and some people even inadvertently leaked some secrets, which is the norm."

"At that time, people were panicking, and no one knew whether they would win or lose tomorrow, so some nobles went to Yancheng separately and leaked some secrets by the way, which is understandable."

Hearing this, Pang Juan understood Weiss's thoughts, this is not to blame in the past!

In short, until the end of the decisive battle, all actions before the decisive battle are directly pardoned. Even if the secrets of the Wei family were betrayed at that time, even if the secrets of the Jin State were betrayed at that time, even if the object of the betrayal was not Yancheng but other Chu States, Qin States, Qi States and even unknown countries, Wei Si would not hold them responsible!

As long as you are a good person from now on, work hard, and be loyal to me, Weiss, you will be good!

Li Kui expressed his understanding and smiled happily, it is indeed very comfortable to be a partner with a monarch like Weiss and work together to govern a country.

Many times, Li Kui has just made a start, Weiss knows what to do, and can do it very well, which is very rare!

Such a monarch has rarely been seen throughout the ages.

Immediately, Li Kui continued: "Your Majesty, now the entire Jin Kingdom is close to two thousand counties. After the three families were divided, it was estimated that there would be about 700 counties in the hands of the Wei family. ”

"At present, the total population of these 700 counties is about 2.5 billion. Among them, Wei originally occupied more than 200 counties, and these more than 200 counties have initially achieved a six-year period of primary education. ”

Anyone with a discerning eye can see how much a ten-year primary education has played a role in Yancheng today.

However, if we want to see results in education, it will take at least ten or twenty years.

Weiss took charge of the Wei family more than 30 years ago, and experienced a series of problems in the middle, such as the ascension of new people, the retirement of old people, and the obstacles to reform. To this day, Weiss is only able to offer six years of primary education in the territory, and it is not free.

The main thing is that there is no money!

It really costs money to engage in education.

In the past, most of the money was spent on preparing for war.

"In the past, Lone always wanted to fire Yancheng and roll out a ten-year primary education for free, but he couldn't do it, and he couldn't even find enough qualified teachers."

"Now, more than 30 years later, we finally have enough teachers to fully roll out primary education in the entire Wei territory."

"However, this primary education is very expensive, although there are enough teachers, but there are too many students, so we have to find a way to make money."

Hearing this, Li Kui stroked his beard, drew a map casually, pointed to Wei Guo on the map and said: "After the three families were divided, Wei Guo bordered us, and now Wei Hou is throwing money everywhere, bribing the small feudal monarchs, and wants to take over the feudal kingdom of the small feudal monarchs peacefully." ”

"If everything goes well with the Wei Hou and swallows all the small feudal lords and small vassal states around him, then the territory of the Wei Kingdom will expand from more than 200 counties to more than 500 counties."

"So, for Wei Hou, the most important thing now is time."

"Wei Hou needs time to buy the little feudal monarchs one by one, and Wei Hou also needs time to digest the newly acquired territory."

"Weihou, it still takes time, carry out reforms, and defend the country strongly."

"Of course, not only Weihou needs time, but Yancheng also needs time."

"Therefore, in order to delay time, Duke Yan will invite the princes of the world, will arrange the transaction between the Marquis of Wei and the little feudal monarch, and will encourage the ambitious people in the palace of the Three Universities to come out of the mountain."

"Now, Le Yi has gone to Zheng Guo, and with him in Zheng Guo, he can definitely drag the Han family."

"The Qin State has always been eyeing Hangu Pass, in the past, when the Jin State was still there, the Qin State defeated Hangu Pass several times, and now once the Jin State is not there, the Qin Marquis will inevitably take action at Hangu Pass."

But can Wei lose Hangu Pass?

No way!

If the Wei clan lost the Hangu Pass, then the Qin army would be too close to the Wei capital. At that time, in order to avoid the soldiers of the Qin State, it was even necessary to move the capital. However, moving the capital is a major event that affects the fortunes of the country.

Hangu Pass is an irreconcilable contradiction between the Wei clan and the Qin state!

Perhaps, a lot of cooperation can be established between the Wei clan and the Qin state, but the contradiction of Hanguguan is too great!

If you want to be stable, Wei and Qin have to fight a battle around Hangu Pass, dispel Qin's greed for Hangu Pass, and it hurts, only in this way can Wei and Qin cooperate for a while.

Similarly, for the Qin State, only when the Hangu Pass is occupied first and the Hangu Pass is digested, can it have time to accompany the Wei clan for a period of peace.

The same is true for the Han family, the Han family also has to fight with the Chu State, at least with the partial division of the Chu State to prove itself.

The Zhao family also had to fight with Yan or Qi to prove themselves.

Every big country faces many problems. Every major country's priorities are different.

Therefore, the unity of the great powers, the unity of the whole country, and the joint efforts to fight Yancheng only exist in dreams. It's not that the princes of the big countries are short-sighted, it's that there is no future without the present.

"Now, our Wei clan's grain is in the hands of Yancheng, and the grain cannot be autonomous, in this case, there will definitely be no way to start a war with Yancheng."

"This situation is very common, except for the Qin State, more than half of the grain in the rest of the countries is directly affected by Yancheng. There are fewer in the Qin State, but there are also three-percent of the land that is directly cultivated in Yancheng, and high-yield varieties and soil treasures are also purchased from Yancheng. ”

"If we don't solve the problem of food self-sufficiency for a day, we won't be able to fight this battle for a day!"

"This means that although there are people shouting and killing now, in fact the world is very peaceful."

"Since we can't fight with Yancheng in a short time, we can ask Yancheng for money. We can confidently tell Yan Gong that we have seen through his strategy, and now Wei has decided to cooperate with his strategy and not to do anything to small countries for twenty years. ”

"The Wei family took the initiative to cooperate with Yancheng, or the first to cooperate, Yancheng must give some benefits!"

"Now, we don't have much certainty, but can Yan Gong be full of confidence?"

"Even if Yan Gong himself is full of confidence, is it possible that every high-level person in Yancheng can be full of confidence?"

"At this time, we will break the fortune and eliminate the disaster, and lend us money for free to help Wei's development. Let's pay back the money, as for when it will be repaid, we'll talk about it then. ”

"Money can be borrowed first, resources can be borrowed first, and technology can also be asked for one by one!"

"As long as we give money and supplies, we can be at peace for twenty years. For twenty years, do not do anything to small countries. ”

"This condition, Yancheng is definitely willing!"

"Isn't that too risky? In case twenty years later......" Pang Juan couldn't help but worry.

Weiss nodded affirmatively: "There are risks in doing anything, even if you don't do anything, there are risks." ”

"When we get the money and materials from Yancheng, we can bury our heads in farming for 20 years, and in these 20 years, the big countries will basically maintain peace with each other, everyone will exchange technology with each other, improve national strength, and at the same time cultivate their own qi refiners, slowly replace the gas refiners in Yancheng, at least we must completely control agriculture in our own hands."

"Twenty years later, when a new generation has been cultivated, that's when the Wei State will start to act."

"I don't believe it, in 20 years, the reform effect of defending the country can be stronger than ours!"
