Chapter 126

With the passage of time, the situation in the world has become completely clear.

The State of Song and the State of Wei were beaten by Wei Fuzi and were unable to fight anymore, and they had already died down.

The Tang State was surging in the country, lacked materials, and was unable to send troops to conquer Chu to recover the lost territory.

Zhao State alone resisted the two major overlords of the Central Plains, Chu State and Jin State, and did not fall behind for the time being, and basically established the hegemonic strength of Zhao State.

What is not clear now is only the country of Qi.

Whether Qi will help Zhao attack Chu seems to have become the only variable that may appear in the battle of Chu and Zhao.

During this period, Qin Yu relied on smuggling grain, selling mirrors and spicy strips, and had already made a lot of money.

After having money, the speed of expansion of Cangxian County is gradually improving, and the entire old city of Cangxian County has also prospered visibly.

However, due to the implementation of control measures, there are not many chambers of commerce in Cangxian County at present, and most of the shops are Cangxian Chamber of Commerce and Hengtong Chamber of Commerce.

With the continuous development of Cangxian County, it is also located on the border.

The people displaced by the war also gathered a lot of people from Cangxian County.

Cangxian has an attitude towards this, as long as it passes the investigation, it is a part of Cangxian.

Nowadays, the whole world, which is still developing steadily upward, may be the only one in Cangxian.

And just when Cangxian County was developing steadily, a major news shocked the world again.

Xiang Feng set up an ambush in Muwang Mountain, and besieged the 300,000 Zhao army led by Zhao Yi with an army of 400,000, and Zhao Yi may fall in Muwang Mountain.

The state of Zhao had already transferred 100,000 troops to Muwang Mountain to reinforce and try to meet Zhao Yi and his 300,000 Zhao army, but the 100,000 army failed to break through the encirclement of the Chu army many times.

When Qin Yu and Xiao He saw this battle report, they immediately remembered a famous battle in history, which can be said to determine the situation in the world in the future.

The four of them sat silently in Qin Yu's study, their brows tightly locked, not knowing what they were thinking.

Gongsun Qi suddenly said: "In order to strangle Zhao Yi, the State of Chu really put a lot of effort into it. ”

"Mu Xiu will be destroyed by the forest wind, Zhao Yi is too young and too talented in military affairs, no country in the world will want such a genius to live." Qin Yuan sighed.

"Having said that, I don't know if Chu Jun can trap this genius, and if Zhao Guo can rescue this genius." Xiao He took the battle report in his hand and continued, "There are still many variables now, the Qi State has not moved, and we Tang Guo don't know if there will be any moves, and the Jin Kingdom will not have any plans." ”

After thinking for a long time, Gongsun Qi said in a deep voice: "Perhaps, in the eyes of other countries other than Zhao and Chu, the genius of Zhao is going to die, and the strength of Chu must be weakened, and the strength of Zhao is best weakened." ”

"The situation in the world, either monopolism or balance, I didn't expect this big war, from the beginning of spring to now that winter is approaching, there will be so many changes."

Qin Yu sat on the main seat, holding another piece of information in his hand.

This information came from the Jingshi, and there was some very important information in it, which Qin Yu did not show to a few people.

The Qi side has already made contact with the Tang State, and the Tang State has also begun to reorganize the army, although there are only more than 30,000, but the Qi State and the Tang State will form a coalition army, with a total of 60,000 horses.

And what the 70,000 army will do when the time comes, Qin Zhen did not explain it in the intelligence.

But Qin Yu also roughly guessed that once there was a change in the battle of Zhao Chu and the strength of both sides was weakened, the 60,000 troops were estimated to be to aid Zhao State.

Qin Yu put away the information in his hand and asked, "Xiao He, yesterday I dreamed in a dream that there is a mountain outside the city with a large amount of iron ore and a coal mine in a mountain, I will mark it later, you call someone to take a look." ”

Xiao He looked at Qin Yu in a daze, what he dreamed of in his dream, can this be taken seriously?

But since he was told, Xiao He could only obey the order.

Qin Yu then asked, "Now if we are conscripted, how many soldiers and horses will be needed to ensure the safety of the people of Cangxian." ”

Gongsun Qi immediately surrendered his hand: "According to the current population of Cangxian County and Tang Lu's requirements for border cities, Cangxian's military strength must be maintained at 20,000. ”

"20,000, now our strength is more than 3,000, and there is still a difference of 17,000." Qin Yu frowned and said.

Xiao He said at this time: "My lord, at present, according to the population of our Cangxian County, the strength of the army can be expanded to 10,000 horses, if it is more, it is estimated that it will affect the expansion of the city." ”

"It doesn't matter." Qin Yu said, "First select people to be incorporated into the army, train in their spare time, and still participate in the expansion of the city in peacetime." ”

"Also, now that Cangxian County has begun to develop normally, it is necessary to introduce a set of wage system and work rest system to let the people have a sense of happiness in Cangxian."

The three of them looked at each other, the salary system, the public vacation system, and the sense of happiness, these three words were the first time I had heard them.

The sense of happiness is easy to understand, but the salary system and the public leave system, the three of them are confused, and they don't understand what it means at all.

Seeing that the three of them looked confused, Qin Yu didn't have the heart to explain to the three of them, and when the time came to implement it, he would naturally understand everything.

With Xiao He and Lao Huang and others, according to the place pointed out by Qin Yu, after digging out iron ore and coal mines, Cangxian County entered a new round of development.

Coal and iron ore, especially iron ore, are extremely important resources, and they are not allowed to be mined privately at all, only by the imperial court.

Naturally, it was impossible for Qin Yu to report this to the imperial court and let the imperial court mine it.

If you gain a foothold in this troubled world, you must not trust the court, you can only believe in yourself.

As long as you have an advanced army in your hands, you don't have to worry about it all day long, let alone look at other people's faces.

And just when Cangxian was developing in an orderly manner, a convoy stopped outside the gate of Tang Guojing's Tang City.

This convoy is very luxurious, with 2,000 gold armor guards guarding, which is the personal soldier of King Tang.

The largest carriage was drawn by four horses, and the rest were carriages drawn by two horses, making a total of more than thirty carriages.

At the gate of the city, the prince of Tang Guo personally sent him off.

After a box of gold was loaded onto the wagon, the convoy slowly set off.

The prince of Tang Guo looked at the starting convoy and shouted loudly: "When the matter here in Tang is over, the eldest brother will personally pick you up!" ”

"Don't worry, little sister! Big brother will take care of his father! The prince shouted this, and tears appeared in the corners of his eyes.

"Her Royal Highness the Prince, Her Royal Highness the Princess has already gone away, let's go back." The subordinate on the side said cautiously.

The prince sighed suddenly, "It's all because my brother is too useless, and I can't protect you well, so I let my father send you away, it's all because my brother is too useless~"

The prince looked into the distance for a long time before putting on the cloak handed by his subordinates and returning to the city with a sigh.
