King Qi of Chu added a fief to Xiang Yan, but Xiang Yan was not satisfied.

The Xiang clan originally originated in the Spring and Autumn Period Xiangzi Kingdom, was destroyed by the Qi State, and later belonged to the Lu State. After Chu destroyed Lu, this place came into the hands of Chu again.

Xiang Yan, who suffered heavy losses and even had his clan captive, hoped to use Xiangcheng as a fief to wash away the humiliation of the clansmen in front of his ancestors.

However, after the Qin State drove the King of Chu Xiang from Yingdu to the Chen capital, Xiangcheng, located in the middle of the Huaishui River and the Yellow River, was geographically safe and had become the capital of the Chu State.

Now Xiang Yan wants Chu to accompany the capital as a fief, how could Chu Wang Qi agree.

Xiang Yan refused to back down, and the bull temper that she had endured for a long time came up.

Because the whole clan of Chu was captured, he did not betray the Chu State, and went to welcome Gongzi Qi back to the Chu State to succeed to the throne, and drove away the mediocre and vicious Chu Wang Han and Li Yuan, which can be described as the savior of the Chu State.

Without him, the state of Chu would have been destroyed, and Wang Qi of Chu would still be fleeing in the state of Wei.

Now that Chu Wangqi is relying on him to be the king of Chu, it's just a Xiangcheng, and he refuses to give it to him? Just send him to one Linwujun?

Could it be that his merits and the humiliation he endured for the state of Chu are not enough for the state of Chu to change the capital?! There is more than one companion capital in the state of Chu!!

Xiang Yan thought that after he escorted Gongzi Qi back to China, he would be able to influence the decision of the King of Chu.

But he didn't expect that it would not be the case when he returned home with his troops.

The three clans of the Chu State, the Qu clan have always followed the side of the King of Chu, silently developing their forces during the civil strife in Chu, and now the strength they have shown cannot be underestimated.

When Xiang Yan led his troops to the south (to resist Qin) and the north (to resist Qin), Qu's soldiers were not damaged at all and defended Chendu.

After the destruction of the Southern Chu State, many nobles of the Jing and Zhao clans moved north to the Chu State.

The family surnamed Mi broke the bones and connected the tendons, even if they had rebelled, and now they brought their private soldiers to vote, the king of Chu still gladly accepted it. Now the northward fleeing nobles of the Jing and Zhao clans are under the jurisdiction of the Qu clan.

Not to mention the Qu family, no matter how ambitious the Jing family and the Zhao family are, they don't want people with foreign surnames to be the kings of Chu.

The destruction of the Southern Chu State made them see the "Mandate of Heaven" of the Chu State - the King of Chu still has to be the King of Chu, and our nobles surnamed Mi are still obediently beating the side drum on the side, even if the country is destroyed in the future, they can still defect to the Qin State as a nobleman.

Qin Wangzheng's eldest son was born to a woman surnamed Mi, and they had a wide way to retreat.

Chu Wangqi himself is not a mediocre person.

After he fled to the Southern Chu Kingdom, he had friendships with many nobles in the Southern Chu Kingdom.

After he returned to Chendu, he quietly contacted the nobles of the Southern Chu State who had fled north, and promised them to restore the treatment of the Jing and Zhao clans in the Chu State when the Southern Chu State was not divided.

Not all of the Jing and Zhao clans went to the Southern Chu Kingdom. They left half of their connections in the state of Chu as a retreat. Even if the status of the two clans became lower because the king of Chu hated them, they were still a few points stronger than ordinary nobles.

After Chu Wangqi promised, the Jing clan and the Zhao clan immediately rallied around Chu Wangqi and became Chu Wangqi's "direct force".

Chu Wang Qi persuaded Qu again. The Jing family and the Zhao family set up the Southern Chu State separately, but it was just that the surname Mi was making trouble with their own people, and the brothers quarreled and fought. Brothers are against the wall, and they are insulted outside. What does the matter of our old Chu family have to do with the Xiang family?

Chu Wangqi is not a person who crosses the river and demolishes the bridge. Lin Wujun's title can be given, the fiefdom can be increased, and even if he Xiang Yan wants to be Ling Yin, there is no problem. But Xiang Cheng, as the capital of the Chu State, must not be sealed to others.

Xiang Yan insisted on Xiangcheng as a fief, and he was also wary of other ministers and doctors of Chu State.

Because after the three families were divided into Jin and the Tian family, the "sacredness" of the monarch's status has been broken. Kings will be wary of their ministers being too powerful.

What's more, the state of Chu also experienced the division of the Southern Chu State, but it forcibly relied on "the surname Mi is all one family", and said that the split of the Chu State was "divided" to save the dignity of the Chu State.

Xiang Yan is going to accompany the capital as a fief now, and what he has to do next, others can't imagine at all.

They came to persuade Xiang Yan to take a step back. The political significance of accompanying the capital to the state of Chu was too great, and Xiang Yan couldn't grasp it. If Xiang Yan was willing to take a step back, they would definitely persuade the King of Chu to double Xiang Yan's food estate, wouldn't this be better than Xiang Cheng?

But this time, Xiang Yan was determined to Xiang Cheng.

In the hearts of the old nobles of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, ancestors and clansmen are more important than anything else. Xiang Yan had lost his people, and if he couldn't get the results that would make him proud in front of his ancestors, he would not be able to sleep well.

What's more, when the whole country of Chu was opposing him, Xiang Yan also felt a crisis.

The doorman beside Xiang Yan said: "The King of Chu is notoriously mean and unkind. What will be the consequences of Wu Qi, Qu Yuan and Huang Xie, who once pulled the Chu State, general. Xiangcheng is between Huaishui and the Yellow River, the farthest away from the Qin State, and the city is also very strong, so that the general can accumulate strength with peace of mind, so as not to go to the experience of those three people. ”

Xiang Yan looked at the location of Xiang Cheng on the map and knew that the doorman was right.

After he calmed down, he also understood why Chu Wang Qi refused to give him Xiang Cheng.

Both Wei and Korea have been destroyed, and the capital of Chen is too close to the state of Qin, and Wang Qi of Chu probably wants to move the capital to accompany the capital Xiangcheng.

Because of this, he should take Xiang Cheng even more.

Even if Xiangcheng is only his nominal fief, when Chu Wang Qi and those nobles surnamed Mi of Chu flee to Xiangcheng, they have to look at his face and act. He will no longer be so shackled.

The pain of losing his clan and the anger of being betrayed by the king of Chu have changed Xiang Yan's heart that is loyal to the king of Chu a lot.

He remained loyal to the state of Chu, but no longer trusted the king of Chu.

In Xiang Yan's eyes, the soldiers of the third clan were a rabble that could be broken at the slightest touch, and he didn't believe that this group of people dared to really fight him.

Xiang Yan held his seal firmly in his hand, and preached to his subordinates that King Qi of Chu wanted to cross the river and demolish it, and the three clans surnamed Mi wanted to rob them of their merits, and gradually made this army he brought back from the battlefield of Qin State truly his private army.

Neither Chu Wangqi nor Xiang Yan refused to retreat, and the domestic situation was precarious and on the verge of breaking out.

After Qin Wangzheng learned of this, he once wanted to take the opportunity to send troops to attack the state of Chu.

But he has been taught by Li Mu for many years, and he has to be Bai Qi and Lian Po to be careful, and his grasp of the battle situation is sharper than ordinary people, and he calms down after thinking about it.

Now is not a good time to attack the state of Chu. If Qin attacked Chu, Chu Wang Qi and Xiang Yan might each take a step back and join forces to resist Qin because of external pressure.

He wants to give Chu a relaxed environment, so that Chu Wang Qi and Xiang Yan don't have to worry about the external situation and do their best to consume each other.

In this unification war, of course, the less losses the Qin State has, the better. He has patience.

Great-father, great-father, and grandfather all held back their ambitions and patiently put the credit for reunification into his hands. How could he not be patient?

After Qin Wangzheng changed the Yuan, he immediately named Fu Su as the crown prince, and rewarded the Empress Dowager Huayang and her mother's family, giving outsiders the illusion of promoting the Chu family relatives in China.

He also named Mi Ji as the eighth son, and she was the first woman in the harem to have a position.

As for why he didn't make Mi Ji the queen, Qin Wangzheng also had enough excuses.

Mi Ji's health has been poor since she gave birth to Fusu, and Qin Wangzheng does not want the queen to die early, which is unlucky. If Mi Ji's health can improve, he will make Mi Ji queen after unifying the world.

The pie is painted.

Zhu Xiang, who was farming in the Wei Kingdom, heard this and had a very complicated mood.

Zheng'er disdains to kill her mother and keep her son. So he gave Mi Ji this promise, that is, to make sure that Mi Ji would not live long.

Zhu Xiang wiped the dust on his face with the sweat towel around his neck and sighed.

Next to the ridge, watching Zhu Xiang busy in the field, picking a lump of dirt in the east to see, and grabbing a handful of withered grass in the west and smelling it, Dr. Wei Guoshi was full of disdain.

In rumors, Changping Jun Zhu Xiang has the ability to know the land. He will personally come to the farmland to cultivate, observe the condition of the farmland, and tell the farmers the best way to plant.

When they only heard the rumors, they praised Chang Pingjun's move a lot.

But when they saw Zhu Xiang busy in the field like an old farmer, dust and sweat mixed together, and his straight figure was rickety in front of the peasants, they covered their mouths and noses, and even if they wanted to pretend to be one, they uncontrollably showed a disgusting look.

Zhu Xiang is already very used to it.

Later generations talk about "farming" as a talent every day, and how many people will not be disgusted and sick to their stomachs in the face of the smell of soil, sweat, and fertilizer?

It's physiological and normal.

Real farming is like this, if it is not soil, dirty, smelly or tired, it is not farming.

Zhu Xiang has gone to the ground quite little, just to guide, so his back can still be straight.

If the ordinary old farmer reaches his age, his back will not be able to stand up in the bow every day.

His dirtiness is temporary, and the farmer's dirtiness is a lifetime. He dragged this group of Wei Guoshi doctors to the ridge to watch him farm, and then he would drive this group of Wei Guoshi doctors to the field to farm with him, not expecting them to have the feeling that farmers are really hard, but to let them know how difficult the life of the Shu people is, so that they can grasp the current wealth.

Many scholars will shout when they are hot-blooded, "It's better to go back with a seal and be a self-cultivator."

When most people shout like this, they don't know how bitter the "yeoman farmers" are.

Even if they call yeoman farmers, their status is actually the same as that of small and medium-sized landlords in later generations, not real farmers.

In the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the people who were reduced from scholars to commoners were the original small and medium-sized landlord class, that is, the prototype of the "cold door". After that, except for a few literati such as Du Fu who could see people who were down to the dust, the "Shuren" in other poems and songs basically referred to the "cold door".

The life of small and medium-sized landlords is much better than that of peasants, and if it is taken to modern times, it is really miserable.

Both the landlord and the landlord's wife have to work in the field, and only in good years can they eat white rice and white noodles. If you are not old, you will go hungry and even become a homeless.

Even in good years, they can only eat all-you-can-eat meat and drink a little turbid wine during the New Year's holidays.

And now the scholar class is still half a slave owner. They really don't touch the ground.

Zhu Xiang is going to use the soil to educate them, if they don't obey the Qin State, they will go to be the self-cultivated people, can you bear this kind of hardship?

Zhu Xiang specially instructed that more young children from the noble families of the Wei State should be selected and followed him in turn to farm, and no one should be missing.

He said that the students of Xianyang Academy who studied with him were all like this. I'll give you the opportunity to study under me, but the scholars of the Qin State can't ask for it, do you dare to obey?

Even the nobles of the Wei State, who were dissatisfied with the Qin State in their hearts, immediately sent their young sons over.

They themselves despised Zhu Xiang, who went to the land, but they expressed support for the young children of their families to go to the land.

The elders are like that. Hard, dirty and tiring work? It's all a grind for young people. As long as you don't go to the ground by yourself, everything is fine.

When Zhu Xiang asked the scholars from the Xianyang Academy to take this group of young noble children of the Wei State who were about to peel off their skin in the early spring sun, he kept telling them that this was the life of the common people. If their family were no longer nobles and had to cultivate their own land even if they had land, they would have to suffer like this every day.

Who doesn't want to be rich? Who wants to work?

Even if the older generation of scholars and doctors in Wei still have some flesh and blood, they are willing to endure such hardships. Are the delicate young aristocrats who have been clothed and fed since childhood?

Families that can raise delicate young nobles must have many elders who like pleasure.

When these young aristocrats go back to cry, what will the elders who like pleasure and feel sorry for their children do?

The hundred-legged insect dies but does not stiffen. Those old nobles of the Six Nations are so powerful that they can't be killed for a while. Only by allowing them to attack themselves from the inside can they die thoroughly.

Zhu Xiang sorted out the experimental results of the "labor reform" of the Wei nobles and handed them over to Qin Wangzheng.

Qin Wangzheng tapped his fingers on the table while watching, and when his fingers were numb, what he said was not "Uncle is amazing", but muttered "When will Uncle come back to bring Fusu".

Of course, he didn't think that Zhu Xiang was not powerful. Although it is a little tactful, it gives face to those old nobles of the Six Kingdoms who are not satisfied with Qin, but euphemism has the benefit of tactfulness, Qin Wangzheng does not like tactfulness, and does not deny that sometimes tactfulness is better than toughness.

Although he really doesn't like euphemism (emphasis added).

Uncle has Wang Zuozhi is a well-known thing in the world, so there is nothing surprising. The uncle of Wei Guo has already started a head, and he can hand it over to others.

Otherwise, the Xianyang School Palace has been open for more than ten years, isn't it a waste of Qin State's money and food?

My aunt returned to Nanqin.

Nanqin was an important producer of silk and cotton, and those official workshops were all managed by my aunt.

Although there are Li Si and Han Fei in the south, Qin Wangzheng trusts his uncle and aunt more.
