After the annexation of Han, it took a lot of time for Huai to digest the results of the war. After the land was disposed of, the next thing was the mine that Wang Lin valued the most.

In recent decades, there has been increasing friction between nations. Weapons have always been the top priority, Huai naturally can not lag behind, after the Han craftsmen moved to Huai'an, Wang Lin ordered people to set up a craftsman division, to rule all the craftsmen.

The Craftsman Division gathered the top craftsmen of Huai and Han, and there were copper mines in hand, and Huai's armament began to gradually increase.

After the integration of mines and craftsmen, the smelting level of Huaiguo has been improved by leaps and bounds. The most obvious is that bronze ploughs began to appear in large numbers in Huai.

In the past, there was a shortage of copper in Huai, and the copper bought from Han could only be used to cast weapons and bronze ritual vessels, and very little was used in other places, and the vast majority of Huai's plows were made of wood or stone and bone.

Through the innovation of tools, Huai's agriculture is completely ahead of other countries.

In addition to agricultural tools, Wang Lin also ordered the craftsman to create weapons and ritual weapons. Because of the lack of copper mines, the level of weapons in Huai can only be regarded as average among other countries. With the supplement of Hanguo, Huai's weapons were rapidly improved.

Ritual utensils are very important in any period, representing the face of a country, the ritual vessels of Huai have not been much, and now there are copper mines, and all kinds of ritual vessels must also be recast to highlight the national strength of Huai.

The Han sword casting in the Bangzhou countries can be said to be famous, these Han craftsmen in the Huai country, after receiving the reward of Wang Lin, willing to forge a sharp sword for Wang Lin.

Wang Lin was delighted, so he ordered them to cooperate with them and let them forge sharp swords.

......

Just when Huai annexed Han and reformed agriculture, the center of Bang Zhou, Zhou Tianzi Ji Lie was also determined to reform.

After winning the war against Inurong, Ji Lie's prestige increased greatly, and after subduing the nobles of Wangji with the strength of his mother's family, Zhou Tianzi reformed taxes and obtained taxes from the nobles of Wangji.

Next, the reform of agriculture, the implementation of improved seeds, and the tuntian system, which allowed Wangji to increase grain production. Originally, it was a good thing to have a bumper grain harvest, but in order to maintain the six armies of the Son of Heaven, Ji Lie levied taxes on Wang Ji, which also led to the people still being poor.

The harvest grain did not have their own, which also made the people very dissatisfied with Ji Lie.

After more than 100 years of development, Wangji has a large population, and the more the population has, the more various incidents have also increased. Cheng Kang's rule, the days of more than 40 years of wrong punishment without use are gone. By the time of Ji Lie, various disputes arose, but there was no punishment for punishment.

So Ji Lie ordered someone to compile a criminal book, but the punishment in the criminal book compiled by Ji Lie was extremely severe. Perhaps in Ji Lie's opinion, as long as the punishment stipulated in the criminal book is severe enough, then no one will dare to violate it.

This kind of thinking of his is very beautiful, but the consequences of using it to legislate have become very serious, so it often appears, obviously it is just some small things, but it is passive to cut off feet, noses and so on.

It's like life is already very difficult, but there are severe punishments to suppress the people, and even a few words of complaint can be killed.

Those people who openly talked about Ji Lie's mistakes were directly found out and killed. Such a draconian law makes the people afraid to speak. As a result, there were fewer and fewer people talking, and in the end, no one dared to speak again.

Zhao Mu Gong, as Ji Lie's courtier, advised: "This only blocked the words of the people, and did not solve any problems. ”

"This practice is like a big river to control the water, blocking the river and preventing the water from passing, and the more water accumulates, the more dangerous the river becomes, and the more water gathers, and one day it will burst, and when the water bursts, there will be floods everywhere."

"To govern the country, we must let go of the people's speech, because only when the people speak, will the ministers, nobles, and countrymen be able to take care of the poems that tell the pros and cons of national politics, the music officials can present the music that tells the people's feelings, and the historians can present the history books of the gains and losses of the previous generations, and the officials can admonish, and the people can hear the opinions of the Son of Heaven.

Know the pros and cons of governing the country and look for ways to correct them. Good deeds should be promoted, and evil deeds should be stopped, so that Wang Ji can be strong and Bang Zhou can be strong.

And now that their mouths are blocked, the Son of Heaven can only hear words of approval, which will only make Wang Ji worse and worse, how many people are willing to follow you when the time comes? ”

Ji Lie didn't listen, and the people didn't dare to speak from then on.

The pros and cons of Ji Lie's reform are not evaluated, but in a short period of time, Wang Ji has a lot of wealth, and the strength of the Son of Heaven has been improved. Since King Xiang, Zhou Tianzi's authority has been declining. After Ji Lie's strength increased, he began to fight abroad again.

The princes and countries have risen and fallen, and after the development of Yidi over the years, it has gradually become stronger, and from the fact that the dog Rong dared to attack the state and Zhou Wangji, it is clear that Rong Di has flourished everywhere.

The strife between the Qi and Ji states and the Lu states caused Dongyi to have a chance to breathe and had gradually grown. This time, the Laiyi Kingdom gathered a large number of Dongyi tribes to take advantage of the killing of the monarch of the Qi State to launch a war.

Qi didn't dare to be careless, and also poured out the country to fight against Laiyi. However, although the Lai people are numerous, but the orders are different, each tribe has its own ideas, although there are many people, but they cannot win.

Jin and Wei also appeared a large number of Di people from the north to the south, fortunately, the Jin State was strong and could deal with it, but Wei Guo was not good. Although Wei Guo is also a marquis, Wei Hou is greedy for pleasure and his national strength is not strong.

Rong Di in the west had just been defeated by Ji Lie and had retreated, but the Yi people from the southern states began to attack on a large scale, and the first to bear the brunt were the Song and Chen states.

Even the state invited Xu to send troops together.

Zhou Lai and Xu Guo's army attacked Song, Song was defeated, and finally Chen and Cai's reinforcements arrived, which blocked Zhou Lai and Xu's army.

It was only blocked by Zhou Lai and Xu Guo, but he was unable to fight back, and even the army of Zhou Lai and Xu Guo once approached Wang Ji. Faced with this situation, Ji Lie immediately ordered Marquis Yu to lead his army to attack.

After the reconstruction of the Sixth Army of the Son of Heaven, its strength has recovered a lot, although it is not as strong as the strongest period, but it is also stronger than the ordinary princes. Marquis Yu led a large army south, joined forces with Chen, Cai, Song and other states, and then attacked Zhou and Xu with a large army.

The Zhou and Xu coalition armies were outnumbered, and they were invincible in several battles, and finally the army was home. Many of the armies of Zhou Laiguo and Xu were tribal armies, and they would waver after they could not obtain rich booty, or if they suffered too many casualties. Zhou Lai and Xu Guo had to retreat.

Although Bang Zhou won the victory, Chen Song and other countries suffered heavy losses and were unable to pursue. The Marquis had no choice but to lead the army back. Although they repelled Zhou Lai and Xu this time, they did not get enough spoils, and Bang Zhou's finances became not optimistic.

After Ji Lie's many victories, his true nature began to gradually be exposed, and he liked a luxurious life, and the wine, food and silk of Huai were indispensable. This also led to the lack of finances of Wang Ji, so he could only continue to exploit his subjects.
