Li Mu raised his eyebrows: "Row the water and rule?" ”

Zhu Xiang chuckled: "Then it depends on the skills of General Li Mu and General Wang Qian." ”

Li Mu said: "Then let's paddle the water and govern it." ”

Ying Xiaozheng was dissatisfied: "Why can't you just destroy the Chu State?" ”

Zhu Xiang said: "As long as there is still a breath in the Chu State, their king and the feudal monarch will not form a heart. Therefore, the state of Chu needs to be destroyed last. ”

Li Mu half-jokingly said: "Even if there is only one capital of Chu left, it can be regarded as Chu still there." ”

Ying Xiaozheng pinched his chin and said, "Okay, it's cheaper for them." ”

Zhu Xiang said: "There is another benefit to taking the Jianghuai Plain. The Jianghuai Plain is also a major grain-producing region......"

When Zhu Xiang said this, he was dissatisfied: "The water and soil conditions of the Jianghuai Plain are so superior, and the Chu State has also experienced the Wu Qi Reform, why is the fertile land still extensively managed, and only a few aristocratic fields use oxen and iron farming tools?" ”

Ying Xiaozheng said: "Uncle, do you still expect the common people of Chu to use agricultural tools made of iron and bronze in their fields, and let the ploughing cattle plough for them?" Farm implements and ploughing oxen are much more expensive than the lives of ordinary people. ”

Zhu Xiang said: "Zheng'er, don't learn from them. ”

Ying Xiaozheng was speechless. Uncle, do you think I'm stupid? My great-great-father's great-uncle was providing farming tools and ploughing cattle to the peasants, am I not as good as my great-father's great-father?

Zhu Xiang said: "This is a long-term plan, I will report it to the monarch first, so that the monarch and the princes of the court and the central government can ......."

Ying Xiaozheng interrupted: "Don't let the eldest father discuss with the princes of the court, I'm afraid they will leak it to the Chu State." ”

Zhu Xiang said: "Then let the king think for himself?" ”

Ying Xiaozheng looked at his uncle, who was still very wise just now, and now he suddenly said something stupid and didn't bother to pay attention to it.

Uncle has always been like this, one moment smart, the other stupid, I don't know if it's acted.

Probably not.

Ying Xiaozheng didn't know that Zhu Xiang's current behavior would be called "IQ drops from time to time" in later generations.

Zhu Xiang didn't realize that he didn't say anything right. He consulted with the crowd for a while, and began to arrange the next things.

He never thought that King Qin would disagree with his proposal.

Even if he said that he would fight Chu first and directly decide the major military affairs, King Qin would definitely agree.

Zhu Xiang either has this self-confidence, or he naturally thinks so, and so does everyone.

Lü Buwei continued northward to do business in the state of Chu.

This time, he not only had to sell "luxury goods" such as cotton cloth, Dongzhu, and rare furs from Yuedi to Fengjun, and secretly teach them how to grow cotton cloth, but also take the opportunity of doing business to improve the map of the mountains, rivers and cities of the Chu State.

According to the map drawn by Zhu Xiang now, Li Mu has already depicted the route of the march. Lü Buwei now wants to step on all the routes scheduled by Li Mu, and find out which feudal monarch this land belongs to, what the character and habits of the feudal monarch family are, and the cultivated land and tax situation.

After Wang Jian was appointed by the King of Qin, he would go to Bajun to train his troops.

Zhu Xiang said that he and Lian Po can go to Ba County, but Lian Po is attacking South Korea, and I am afraid that he will also be in the place of Sanjin that he is most familiar with in the future. The general who went to Ba County will definitely be Wang Qian.

Wang Jian was a little nervous.

When he was a deputy general for Li Mu, although he accumulated a lot of experience and gained a lot of self-confidence, it was the first time he was the main general.

What's more, it is still attacking the state of Chu.

With Bai Qi Zhuyu in front, Wang Jian didn't dare to compare himself with Wu Anjun, but he also wanted to make eye-catching achievements.

At this moment, he wants to recruit troops, train troops, set up camp to attack Chu State, and take care of everything by himself. The pressure was so great that he felt like he couldn't sleep at night when he thought about it.

Li Mu comforted him, he was like this in Yanmen County back then. Now Wang Jian is finally about to take the first step.

Wang Jian was speechless. Is Li Mu comforting him, or is he hurting him?

Ah, I'm sorry, I'm just taking the first step now.

Wang Jian said angrily: "Why do you want to come to Qin? If you don't come to the Qin State, the most outstanding general after the Qin State must be me, I don't need to recruit troops and train troops, and directly lead the Qin army's million-strong army to fight wherever I want. ”

Li Mu said: "Well, I'm sorry, I'm coming to Qin. ”

Wang Jian almost wanted to fight with Li Mu.

When Zhu Xiang learned of this, he hurriedly took Ying Xiaozheng to coax, shouting "fight and fight", and then was pressed by Li Mu and Wang Jian to practice the sword and horse riding for a long time, and it was extremely painful.

Ying Xiaozheng laughed and screamed.

He was very happy when the teacher fought with General Wang, and he was even happier when his uncle was sad.

After Zhu Xiang decided on this matter, he sent him all the way to Xianyang, Qin State.

Qin Wangzhu got Zhu Xiang's encrypted urgency, and he was so frightened that he didn't dare to open the letter.

He took Zi Chu's hand and choked up, "Zhu Xiang, what's going on?" Why do you suddenly write an urgent report? ”

Zichu was also worried, but still comforted: "It's just an urgent report, maybe it's just going south to take the Qin army to farm." If there is really any big event, I am afraid that General Li and General Wang will come to deliver the letter in person. ”

As long as it wasn't Zhu Xiang, Xue Ji and Zheng'er, it wouldn't be a big deal.

Even if Wu Jun loses it, it's not a big deal.

Qin Wangzhu took a deep breath and said, "That's right." ”

He lifted his chest and opened the letter, and then the letter was almost torn in half: "Zhu Xiang wants to attack the Chu State?!" ”

Zi Chu was almost so frightened that his heartbeat almost fainted: "Zhu Xiang led his troops to attack the Chu State?!" ”

Lin Zhen and Cai Ze hurried over after receiving the summons of King Qin, and were shocked when they heard this.

Cai Ze: "Zhu Xiang went to Chu State?!" ”

Lin Zhen: "Where did Zhu Xiang hit Chu State?" How could he still lead the troops himself? What about Li Mu and Wang Qian? Zheng'er and Yukihime don't stop? ”

Qin Wangzhu took a deep breath and explained, "Zhu Xiang said that he found a good time to attack the Chu State. ”

Zi Chu, Cai Ze and Lin Zhen gave Qin Wangzhu a disrespectful look at the same time.

Your Majesty, can you talk and pant loudly? Zhu Xiang found a good time to attack the State of Chu, is it the same thing as Zhu Xiang wanting to attack the State of Chu?!

Qin Wang Zhule said: "Zhu Xiang really gave the widow a big surprise!" ”

Zi Chu, Cai Ze and Lin Zhen looked at Qin Wangzhu silently.

Your Majesty, you are the one who gave us a "big surprise".

Qin Wangzhu realized that the eyes and expressions of the three of them were not quite right, and he was puzzled for a while, and finally realized what kind of confusion his words had caused to the three of them.

"Ahem, come, let's take a look at Zhu Xiang's letter." It is impossible for King Qin to apologize, and it will never be possible to apologize, so Qin Wangzhu immediately changed the topic.

The three of them sighed and took their seats obediently.

After Zhu Xiang briefly described his plan, he sent the transcripts made by Li Si, Han Fei, and Meng Tian to Qin Wangzhu for himself to see.

All three of them have omissions in their records, and together they can barely see the whole picture of the entire meeting.

Qin Wangzhu looked at the colorful records, and couldn't help but have a kind smile on his face: "Zheng'er has grown again." ”

The three of them also smiled and bowed their heads in agreement.

"So it seems that there is something to be done." Qin Wangzhu said, "Just wait a few years." ”

For the state of Chu, a few years can make it chaotic, and Qin Wangzhu can afford to wait.

No, Qin can afford to wait. Qin Wangzhu suddenly became a little gloomy. As for the one who can't wait, alas.

"Zichu, this matter is up to you. The three of you do it, and remember not to tell anyone else. Qin Wangzhu said earnestly, "Even the widow will not interfere in this matter. ”

Zi Chu's heart sank.

He got up and knelt down, bowed his head, and said, "Do as my father commands!" ”

This is not a command from a king to his courtiers, but a command from a father to his son.

Qin Wangzhu thought that he might not be able to wait for this day, so this plan had to be completed by Zi Chu.

Even if Zi Chu's father-son affection for Qin Wangzhu is not so pure in his heart, he will inevitably be stunned at this moment.

"Son, please go to Shu County and Ba County!" Zi Chu said, "Cruise the world for my father." ”

At this time, the king of Qin, the feudal monarch, and the local officials all had the habit of inspecting the territory. The crown prince was entrusted by the king of Qin, and he could also tour the world on behalf of the king of Qin and supervise the officials.

Qin Wangzhu was old and frail, so let the crown prince Chu parade for him, and the Six Kingdoms and the Qin Dynasty would not be vigilant.

"Exactly." After Qin Wangzhu agreed, he advised, "Be careful of your body." ”

Zichu kowtowed and got up: "I know." ”

"In the land of the Three Jins, let Lian Gong fight a dozen at will, and how many can be played, so that the Six Nations think that our focus is still on the Three Jins." Lin Zhen smiled, "Next, I'm afraid I'm going to go to Nanqin once." To swallow up the land of Chu, a new land endowment policy is about to be implemented. ”

Cai Ze said: "I sit in Xianyang and assist you. ”

Qin Wangzhu smiled and bowed.

Although he may not be able to wait for the day when the Chu State falls, he can be relieved to see such a junior.

Chapter 139: Douhua Brain-Burning Flowers

In recent years, the climate of the Central Plains has been generally warm, but there have been some, and they will turn down every year or two, giving a little winter shock to the Central Plains countries.

Such as the heavy snow when Zhu Xiang left Zhao Kingdom.

The state of Chu was not as far north as the state of Zhao, but they were accustomed to life in Yingdu, and when the nobles moved north to the Jianghuai Plain, they always felt a little uncomfortable in winter.

It is cold to wear silk clothes, and if it rains, it is even more uncomfortable to be cold; It's hot again in fur clothes, and it's stuffy and makes people panic. It's really uncomfortable.

The ancestral land of Chu was originally south of the Yangtze River, so the sleeves and hem of the clothes were very wide, just for ventilation.

Now they have arrived in the land of Jianghuai, and when the winter wind blows, the cold wind swishes in, and the silk undergarment has to be worn in several layers.

If modern people come to today's Jianghuai Plain, they will be surprised by the mild climate, saying that they don't even need to wear a down jacket, a layer of knitwear inside, and a windbreaker outside, which is enough to survive the winter.

But the nobles of the Chu State who moved north have really not been able to get used to the winter climate of the Jianghuai Plain for so many years, not to mention the small fluctuations in the climate over the years, which is even more annoying.

The cotton cloth brought by Lü Buwei just made up for their needs and was unanimously welcomed by the nobles of Chu State.

As for what the "Qin State" has in particular, they don't think about anything about "capital enemies", but the more unique things are to other countries, the more they can willingly buy them.

The cotton produced by the Zhuxiang system is a high-quality medium-staple cotton variety that has been improved many times in later generations; The loom made by Yukihime has a fine texture of cotton cloth. Together, even the cotton cloth in the Ming and Qing dynasties in the original time and space cannot be compared, reaching the level of "foreign cloth".
