What do you think?

Kneel and watch!

The productivity of the Chang'an plough has exceeded the imagination limit of the monarchs and ministers of the Chu State!

But for a while, there was silence in the imperial study.

After a few breaths, Dasi Nong Xiong Ke said in a deep voice: "This is a cultivation artifact!" ”

"If what Gongzi Qi said is true, this thing will be especially good at cultivating my land."

"If I get this thing, I will be able to get fertile land, so that the grain production will increase dramatically and the people will prosper!"

"Minister, send the candidate to go deep into the Qin land, explore the details of this plow, and be sure to obtain the craftsman method of this plow!"

Xiong knew why no one spoke.

But as the great farmer of Chu State, he is in charge of the agricultural affairs of Chu State, and it is his duty to speak bluntly.

He is even more of a member of the Chu royal family, and he can't watch the Chu State fall behind the other countries!

Jing Chou said slowly: "The Chang'an plow is light, so it is easier to be transported into the mountains and forests. ”

"Chang'an ploughs occupy a small area, so they can cultivate narrow land in the mountains."

"The Chang'an plow can be operated by a cow and a husband, which can enable a small group of displaced people to cultivate acres of land."

"And since it can be managed for one cow and one husband, it is thought that the cultivation can be completed with the strength of three husbands without ploughing oxen, which is a great joy for thieves who are difficult to obtain ploughing cattle."

Jing Chou looked at Xiong Ke, and his voice became heavier: "Therefore, this official thinks that what Xiong Sinong said is also false." ”

"This thing is not particularly good at farming in my Chu land, but especially good at farming in places where thieves like Yunmengze gather!"

"If this flows into my Great Chu, my Chu country will benefit, but the thieves will benefit even more!"

Qu He agreed with his head: "What Jing Sima said is true. ”

"The reason why many thieves in my Chu State are unbearable to fight for a long time is because they have no food to eat."

"But if this Chang'an plow is passed into my Dachu, it will be used by thieves."

"This plow is beneficial, but it will do more harm than good to my Da Chu!"

Those who know you best will always be your enemies.

Qu Jingzhao's three clans have ruled slaves for hundreds of years.

For more than 300 years, the Qu Jingzhao clan suppressed thousands of large-scale slave rebellions.

Looking at the world, Qu Jingzhao and the three clans can proudly say: No one knows slaves better than us!

Win into a toad?

How many slaves did he keep?

How many slaves did he kill?

How many slave rebellions did he put down?

Can a man who has never seen a slave in two lifetimes know more about slaves than we do?

Ying Chengcheng had the intention of using the Chang'an plough sword to cut the superstructure of the Chu State.

But the three clans of Qu Jingzhao didn't even know what Chang'an plough looked like, and they had already judged the significance of this thing to slaves according to Xiong Qi's description!

For the slave owners and nobles, the disadvantages far outweigh the advantages!

They were slave-owning aristocrats, they were not capitalists.

Even if they are given a hundredfold benefit, they are not willing to sell the rope that hangs them!

Xiong Ke stood up, pointed his finger to the north and said angrily: "Jing Sima, Qu Dazai, are there only thieves within my Chu State in your eyes?" ”

"In recent years, the Qin State has won successive battles, constantly advancing eastward, swallowing Wei and destroying Han."

"It's that I, Da Chu, had to cede all the territories north of Yingshui."

"If it weren't for the lack of grain and grass in the Qin State, last year might be the day when the Zhao State was destroyed!"

"Great enemy!"

"On the side!"

"Now, the Qin State has obtained such a cultivation weapon, it will not take a few years, the Qin State should have no worries about famine, and it can raise troops at will!"

"On the other hand, what about my Da Chu?"

"More and more depressed!"

Xiong Ke solemnly bowed his hand to the King of Chu: "If I want to survive, I can only rise up!" ”

"If you don't catch up and get the skill of Chang'an plow, then the day of the fall of my Great Chu will be visible!"

The king of Chu sat on a high platform, silent.

Jing Chou scolded in a deep voice: "Alarmist! It's a fallacy! ”

"If the Chang'an plough really enters Chu, then the thieves in Chu will prosper."

"There will even be more servants who are disobedient and flee into the mountains and forests to gather into an army!"

"At that time, I will be in civil strife!"

Jing Chou solemnly bowed his hand: "Ministers, don't allow Chang'an plough to flow into Dachu." ”

"If you dare to smuggle Chang'an into Chu, the three clans!"

Watching Jing Chou and Xiong Ke face each other, King Chu's face was calm.

In the eyes of Jing Chou and Ying Chengcheng, the Chang'an plough is a sword that cuts at the superstructure of the Chu State.

But in the eyes of the king of Chu, this is a sword that cuts at him!

Why did the king of Chu ascend the throne? Why was Chu Wang Han killed?

The reason is all due to the support of the nobles of the Chu State!

And the vast majority of the nobles of the Chu State are the slave owner class!

For the slave-owning class, the Chang'an plow was a deadly poison.

But for any monarch, Chang'an plough is a good recipe for rejuvenating the country!

The same is true for the king of Chu.

Whether the main power group of the Chu State was a slave owner or a large landlord did not matter to the king of Chu.

Whether the state of Chu can be strong and prosperous is very important to the king of Chu!

The sword of Ying Cheng Chan broke the honeymoon period between the king of Chu and the nobles of Chu State.

Let the irreconcilable contradictions between the king and the slave-owning class be exposed!

After a few breaths, the king of Chu spoke slowly: "Jing Aiqing said that Chang'an ploughing will do more harm than good to my Great Chu, and the widow thinks so. ”

"However, what Xiong Aiqing said is also true."

"Tyrannical Qin is like a tiger and wolf, and he has coveted me for a long time."

The king of Chu said solemnly: "The land of Qin is vast and sparsely populated, and the reins that restrict the Qin state are always food and population. ”

"But if the Chang'an plough is really as Gongzi Qi said, as long as the Chang'an plough is pushed away in the Qin State, the grain output of the Qin State can at least skyrocket several times."

"This can not only ensure the needs of the Qin State to go on the expedition, but also support the Qin State to raise more people."

"In more than ten years, the people of Qin should also be multiplied!"

"Tyrannical Qin has Chang'an plow, like a tiger with wings!"

"How should I fight against it?"

The king of Chu was not offended on either side and went straight to the core of the problem.

Do not introduce Chang'an plow?

OK.

But the widow can't sit back and watch Da Chu fall!

Zhao Cen arched his hand and said: "What the king said is very true. ”

"If you have Chang'an plow, you don't need to be a few years old, and the grain output of Qin will be doubled."

"This will definitely cause the price of grain in Qin to drop sharply, and my Great Chu can buy a large amount of grain from the Qin State at a low price to support my people in Great Chu."

Xiong Ke sneered: "Obviously, you can use my Dachu land to cultivate more grain, but you have to spend a huge amount of money to buy grain from the Qin State? ”

"Ling Yin's strategy is really absurd!"

"Not to mention how much money I need to pay for food every year old."

"If the Qin State doesn't sell my Great Chu, what should my Great Chu do?"

"Don't you hear the strategy of 'Qi Su Lu Min'?!"

In Xiong Ke's opinion, Zhao Cen's brain is simply crazy!

How ridiculous it is to put the grain of a country in the hands of an enemy country.

Do you understand economic warfare, trade warfare and food warfare?

If you don't understand, watch "Pipe" twice!

Zhao Cen said lightly: "If I don't take the Chang'an plow, all countries in the world will also take the Chang'an plow." ”

"The Qin State does not sell grain to Chu, but all countries can sell grain to Chu."

"As long as the world's grain production skyrockets, the price of my grain will become more and more light."

"Ben Yin thinks that I am not good at farming, but I am rich in copper and iron deposits."

"Instead of using the Chang'an plough to reclaim the land with difficulty, my Dachu should focus on forging blades, working hard to prepare for war, and regain the lost territory!"

"Moreover, this is also a weak Qin strategy!"

Zhao Cen bowed to the king of Chu and explained in a deep voice: "The minister thinks that the Chang'an plow will also do more harm than good to the Qin State. ”

"Qin's law is to weaken the people and lead the people to war."

"However, the Chang'an plough has made Qin Min eat without having to get a knight, and in the long run, Qin Min will definitely be drowning in peace and losing the heart to fight!"

"I, Da Chu, buy grain from Qin, and then sell all kinds of pleasures to Qin, which will definitely increase the pleasure of the people of Qin."

"Qin is good at plowing and fighting because of Chang'an, but my Great Chu can sharpen his knife at this time."

"When Qin fights, my Great Chu can raise troops to the north, seize all the lost land, and then take Qin's grain!"

"In this way, then Da Chu Xingye!"

Zhao Cen is not just opposing for the sake of opposition.

The reason why the Qin army is brave is closely related to the laws of the Qin state and the living environment of the Qin people.

Are there still few examples of corps and ethnic groups that dare to fight well when they are poor, and they become soft-footed shrimp and dough armies after they have no worries about food and clothing, prosperity and wealth?

There are countless of them throughout the ages!

Once Qin Min's stable farming can be fed and drunk, how many Qin Mins are willing to pin their heads to the waistband of their trousers to fight for wealth?

Poverty is a weapon that makes people willing to be exploited and even takes the initiative to be exploited!

If the speed of Qin's law change can't keep up with the promotion speed of Chang'an plow, what Zhao Cen said is likely to become a reality!

Jing Chou and the others' eyes lit up, and they all bowed their hands: "The minister seconded the proposal!" ”

Looking at all the ministers who echoed him, the king of Chu sighed lightly in his heart.

The interests of selfishness are more important than the interests of the state.

The pillars and beams of Da Chu are all such people, how can Da Chu prosper!

For a while, the king of Chu suddenly understood the king of Chu a little.

The king of Chu asked rhetorically with an unchanged face: "If Qin takes the initiative to raise troops before his people are rich, what is it?" ”

"War will deplete the food that has increased its production!"

"The lives of the Qin people will not change much, the only change is the increasingly protracted war of the Qin State!"

The king of Chu pointed out the problem with his words.

Zhaocen's inference may be useful in countries that promote Confucianism or Huang Lao's art.

But it is useless for the Qin State!

Ying Zheng is not the master of success, but the lord of the hero!

Ying Zheng will definitely make every drop of blood of the Qin State rush to the fangs and claws, turning it into nourishment for biting the enemy country!

Zhao Cen's eyes narrowed slightly.

Compared with the overthrow of his own strategy, what he cares more about is the attitude of the king of Chu!

The king of Chu suddenly changed his words: "The widow thinks that this strategy is a good policy. ”

"But the widow only takes the first policy, not the second policy."

"My Great Chu should not pin my hopes on the decline of the Qin State on its own, but should take this opportunity to strengthen my Great Chu!"

"I, Da Chu, can go to other countries to buy grain this year, and use this batch of grain to raise troops, destroy internal thieves, and take back Yun Mengze and other places where thieves gather."

"At the same time, we will recruit young and strong, and continue to build roads with the existing big cities as the center."

"When the thieves are eliminated and the roads are smoothed, the Chang'an plow will be introduced!"

The king of Chu made concessions.

First spent money to buy food to save the young and strong manpower of the Chu State, and then used these manpower to spend several years to pacify Yunmengze and other thieves and exterminate the existing rebellious servants in the country.

Roads were then built to extend the actual control of the slave owners, further reducing the space available for their servants to escape.

After ensuring the interests of slave owners to the greatest extent, the Chang'an plough was introduced.

Jing Chou was still a little dissatisfied, and said solemnly: "It takes a long time to build the road, and many deep mountains in my Dachu are difficult for the army to pass. ”

"According to the policy of Ling Yin, when the Chang'an plow enters my Dachu, there will definitely be servants who steal the Chang'an plow and escape to the mountains and forests!"

The king of Chu said categorically: "Then let them escape!" ”

"A few servants, insignificant."

"The widow can't make me fall behind other countries for the sake of a few servants!"

"Ladies and gentlemen!"

The king of Chu stood up and said sincerely: "Look north at the old Korea!" ”

"This year, Han Wangan was poisoned, Han Gongzi was killed in battle, and Han Zhu's magnates were either killed or exiled."

"How miserable!"

"Do you Aiqing want to make me follow in the footsteps of the old Han!"

Jing Chou was about to admonish, but Zhao Cen shook his head lightly and solemnly arched his hand: "The king is wise!" ”

The king of Chu is willing to make concessions for the benefit of the magnates, and the magnates should also give the king of Chu a kind response, not aggressive.

The king of Chu is the king of Chu after all!

And what the king of Chu said was right.

If the state of Chu exists, these powerful people can continue to exist.

If the state of Chu falls, these powerful people will repeat the mistakes of the Korean magnates!

Jing Chou and the others glanced at each other, and after a moment of silence, they also bowed their hands: "The king is wise!" ”
