Time flies, and more than a month has passed, on this day, the sky is gloomy, the grass and trees have begun to wither, and the wind is rolling the fallen leaves in the streets and alleys.
It was not a good weather, and there were many fewer pedestrians on the street, but Wang Qingji of Wu State stood at the head of the city with Sun Wu, Cover Yu, Fan Li, Wen Chong and others, facing the wind and looking into the distance, Chengxiu's first batch of grain teams had successfully returned to Wu State.
Looking at the long convoy, Wen Chong said happily: "Cheng Xiu really has a way, hehe, he came back at the right time, the reserve grain in Gusu City, and the six thousand stone rice grain transported by Yue Guo are far from enough to support the people of my Wu State and immigrants for half a year. ” After Fan Li and Wen Chong arrived in Wu State, they were suddenly promoted to an important position in real power second only to Xiangguo and Da Situ, which did cause a great sensation in Wu State, but these two people lived up to Qingji's high expectations, as soon as they took office, they showed their extraordinary talents, a month of hard work, gossip has gradually disappeared, even if there are still people who are not convinced, their performance is beyond reproach, which makes Qingji very pleased.
The governance of a country's affairs is extremely complicated, and Fan Li and Wen are especially good at governing government affairs and people's livelihood, which is precisely the aspect of covering Yu and Sun Wu, who were born in the family of the ministers of the clan since childhood, are relatively lacking, and with their assistance, Sun Wu and Da Situ cover Yu will measure the Wu State in an orderly manner, and various affairs have been on track, and the Wu State has begun to regain its vitality.
Because of the exemplary role of Fan Li and the literary species, the depressed scholars in various countries are also moved, and some people have rushed to Wu State, I believe that after this winter, after the spring of next year, there will be more scholars who have come to serve one after another.
The assessment and appointment of officials is in the hands of Qingji himself, in line with the principle of making the best use of people's talents and making the best use of things, and at the same time not dampening the enthusiasm of the scholars from all over the world, but all the children of the scholars who rush to serve, after the preliminary assessment, Qingji will be entrusted with a position, and take a very new name, called "probationary period", during the probationary period, those who are qualified to perform will be retained, those who perform well will be promoted, and those who are incompetent will be dismissed, so that no one can criticize it, and the mediocre people who are indiscriminate and full of mediocrity will be eliminated.
In the reconstruction of the Wu State, it was not difficult to have the assistance of these talents, but the difficulty was how to quickly improve the comprehensive strength of the Wu State.
The foundation of Wu is much weaker than that of the Central Plains, and after several years of war attrition, the most difficult thing at present is that the population is increasing, but the food supply cannot keep up.
Qingji was unwilling to slow down the speed of strengthening the Wu State, so Chengxiu's mission became very important, in order to make him feel at ease about buying food, Qingji did not force him to find Chengbi within a month, and he could still distinguish the priorities.
At this moment, Cheng Xiu's first batch of grain has been successfully transported to Wu State, which means that he has successfully opened up a channel, and the follow-up food will naturally be endless, according to the figures submitted by Cheng Xiu, it is not a problem to rely on this batch of grain to let Wu Guo survive this winter and next spring.
As for the future, as long as someone cultivates the wasteland and cultivates the land, as long as the Wu State is free from war, there will be no danger of food shortage in this era when the fertile land is barren and the population is scarce.
"The king, the treasures and artifacts in the treasury, after being converted into silver, in addition to buying grain, are also delivered to the Ren family as a subsidy fund for the imperial court, and the Ren family casts various agricultural tools to sell loans to the farmer, and also pays the Lu family a deposit to buy cattle in various countries.
The rest of the money, the minister intends to " The distant grain convoy was getting closer and closer, and Wen Chong began to count the accounts happily again.
Since he served as Shao Situ, he spent seven days leading the staff of the headquarters to take a clear inventory of the treasury materials, and then like a careful housekeeper, every money spent, he had to carefully calculate the pay and income, if he felt that the expenditure was disproportionate to the income, or not the urgent need of the moment, he would never approve a penny, so that he got the nickname of miserly among the ministers and doctors in Gusu City.
"The rest of the money, still to buy food."
Qingji interrupted him, tightened his cloak, turned around and smiled: "Ziyu, you should do a good calculation, after deducting the necessary reserves, all the rest of the money will be purchased by Chengxiu, and when the grain reserves of the Chengjia are exhausted, they will buy the grain stored in the hands of the rich gentry and wealthy families and big grain merchants of the countries at a high price." ” Wen Chong was stunned for a moment, and said: "King, the minister has carefully calculated, as soon as Chengxiu's batches of grain arrive, they will be able to solve the problem of food shortage in our Wu Kingdom this winter and next spring."
After that, the original scale of cultivation, plus the relocation of the wasteland, the garrison to open up the wasteland, and the fishing at sea, all kinds of measures were applied, even according to the statistics of grain production during the war last year, Wu was enough to be self-sufficient, and did not need to buy grain. ” Qingji pointed at him and smiled: "The account of the bird is clear.
The widow came to ask you, if my Wu Kingdom wants to become a big country in the world like Qi Jin, how can I do it?"
This question can cover a wide range of areas, to become a powerful country in the world, it is nothing more than political, economic, military and other aspects of the strong, but behind each aspect there are deeper problems, Wen Chong pondered, is considering where to start, Qing Ji has said: "Zi Poultry does not have to talk at length, the widow only asks you, if Wu wants to become a powerful country in the world, with the current population conditions of Wu State, even if the soldiers are sufficient, can it deter the world" In the era of cold weapons, the number of people largely determines the strength of each other, with the existing population of Wu State, even if the grain is like a mountain and the family is rich, it is difficult to dominate the world, so it is a kind of literature that immediately replied: "Can't" Qing Ji said: "That's it, today, an important criterion for judging whether a country is strong or not is the size of the country's population.
Only by having a large population can we ensure the cultivation of various crops, ensure that there is a sufficient population to serve and be contributed, that there are available people in all aspects of the country's agriculture and industry, and that there is a sufficient supply of soldiers in the event of war.
On the other hand, a rich country and a strong country, the country is stable, the people are rich, and there are many babies born, and there must be many people who live in the country to engage in agriculture and business, and there are many people who work and serve, which in turn can prove the strength of the country. ” When he said this, he squinted his eyes at the convoy that was getting closer and closer, and then pointed at Sun Wu and asked: "Changqing, the widow has given you five years, can you train an army for the widow that is forbidden by orders, has strict military discipline, and is brave in battle?"
Sun Wu thought for a moment and replied affirmatively: "Yes" Qingji turned to Wen Chong again, and said: "Zi Yu, the widow gives you five years, let you let go of it, can you open up thousands of hectares of fertile land for the widow, so that the treasury is full, and the people are rich."
Wen Chong has always been careful, thought about it repeatedly, and then said: "If my Wu State can temporarily rest the sword soldiers, let the ministers recuperate, and let the people recuperate, with the current national policy of my Wu State, the ministers can do it." ” "Good young uncle, it only takes five years for Changqing and Ziyu to make the widow and soldier well-equipped.
The widow will also give you five years, can you let me Wu Guowen military generals, scholars Ruyun can make me Wu Guo Zhuang Ding million, Shi Nong, industry and commerce from all walks of life are full of talents" The official of the Xiangguo, the six canons of the state, to govern the state with the king, the specific content of the responsibility is very complicated, from the national policy to the secular life to the farmland and water conservancy, and then to the popularization of education, all of which are in its governance, now Sun Wu is the prime minister, but mainly focuses on the military, and the civil affairs are mostly in charge of Fan Li, so he is responsible for education and population issues, so Qingji asked him.
Fan Li had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and vaguely captured Qingji's thoughts, but at this time, Qingji was asking, and he couldn't think about it, so he had to frown, shook his head and said: "In five years, it is difficult to complete the king's requirements."
There is a saying in the pipe, a tree valley in one year, a tree in ten years, and a tree in a hundred years.
If you want to be full of talents, you must open up the government and private learning, teach the people the four arts and six arts, the study of the royal officials, the art is ordinary, and the talented people can be produced, so that at least it will take decades or even hundreds of years to be successful. ” The four arts and six arts, the study of the royal officials, is the origin of the study of the sons, the study of the sons all originate from the official school, Confucianism comes from the official of Situ, Taoism comes from the official of history, the Yin and Yang family comes from the official of Xihe, the Legalist comes from the official of the reason, the famous family comes from the official of the ceremony, the Mojia comes from the official of the Qing Temple, the Zongheng family comes from the official of the pedestrian, the miscellaneous family comes from the official of the council, the peasant family comes from the official of the farmer, and the novelist comes from the barnyard official.
Zhuzi Baizi has a long history, each has its own origin, has already had a profound theoretical foundation, those Zhuzi Baijia celebrities and scholars, are inherited and developed the predecessors' doctrines, and carried forward it, not in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period within a few hundred years, from scratch suddenly produced many categories of advanced academics.
At that time, the ministers and scholars all had the knowledge of the government to learn the knowledge of the government school, although the teacher of private learning was later the most famous Confucius was the most famous, but he was not the first person to open a private school, at that time the private school in various countries has a very large scale, so Fan Li also listed it as a supplement to the lack of official learning.
Fan Li said: "As for the sufficiency of Ding Gong, even if we start to encourage marriage and childbirth now, it will take 20 years to succeed."
If you want to have Ding Zhuang million, you will not use swords and soldiers from now on, concentrate on production, and develop people's strength, I am afraid that it will take more than a hundred years. ” Qingji said: "That's it, the widow has the assistance of you talents in the world, and there is hope to strengthen the Wu Kingdom."
However, if you want to strengthen the state of Wu and limit the development of the national strength of the state of Wu, the most difficult thing for you to solve and the one that takes the longest time to solve is talent and population.
Since our own cultivation of talents has been long-lasting, why don't we absorb talents from other countries?
In the widow court, Changqing is from the Qi country, Yingtao is from the Lu country, Ziyu and Shaobo are from the Chu country, you are now all the ministers of the widows, and the widows hope to recruit more talents from all over the world to become the pillars of the court of my Wu country.
Speaking of people's strength, since there is no trick in increasing the population of our country by itself, and it cannot be effective unless it is a hundred years of work, then why can't we attract the people of all countries to immigrate to Wu and use it for the widows?"
Hiding Yu was puzzled, and interjected: "King, isn't my Wu Kingdom now recruiting talents to attract immigrants from all over the world?"
Qingji said: "Yes, but the widow is still slower, it takes a long time for the people to immigrate from other countries, and only with the preferential national policy of our Wu country to open up wasteland and give land, it may not be able to make enough people make up their minds to move to Wu."
At present, the southward movement of the Jin State is blocked by Qin Chu, and the southward movement of the Qi State is blocked by the Lu State and Dongyi, and the war of the princes of the countries may soon be extinguished, and the truce will be made to negotiate peace.
At that time, the people who are willing to migrate but have not yet moved will settle down, and our Wu Kingdom will not be able to recruit enough people, so we will seize the day."
"Ah" Fan Li finally understood what Qingji meant, and with an excited fist, he praised it: "Wonderful, Weichen understands what the king means."
Since the external factors are not enough to attract enough people to Wu, then let's create some internal factors for them to push them.
Since last winter, the wars of the princes and nations have been fought until now, and all countries have lost their farming because of the war.
At present, there is still a surplus of grain in various countries, and there is no predicament in sight, but the grain stocks of various countries may not be able to support the harvest next autumn, so in a few months, the grain shortage will gradually spread until it develops into a major grain shortage in the whole world.
If we get ahead of the curve, and buy all the grain they have stockpiled from the ministers and gentry and the big grain merchants, and wait until there is a food shortage."
As soon as everyone heard him, they also understood what Qingji meant, Wen Chong opened his mouth, was stunned for a long time, and hurriedly lowered his head and pinched his fingers and said: "The minister understands, the minister calculates carefully, see where else can you squeeze out some money, all in exchange for food" Wen Chong immediately fell into his own world, his eyes were straight, and he couldn't hear what he was muttering.

When everyone saw it, they couldn't help but look at each other and smile.
The gate under the city is opened, the front grain truck has entered the city, Qingji walked to the city wall, held the battlement, looked into the distance, and said leisurely: "The people of Li people support the widows, and they pay blood and food taxes, and what they ask for is just a place to live and live."
The widow wants to make meritorious deeds, for the sake of the society, and for the people of Li to live and work in peace and contentment.
Now that Qin Chu is weak, Jin, Qi, Qi, and Song are all worried about internal troubles, it is the time when my Wu State should be high-spirited.
Do you know where the ambition of the widow is?"
Cover Yu, Sun Wu and others looked at each other, and finally Sun Wu stepped forward and said: "The king wants to unite the princes, dominate the world, and dominate the princes." ” Qingji smiled, his eyes flashed and said: "Dominate the princes Qi Huan Jinwen and Qin Mu Chuzhuang, and now An is in the hegemony of one dynasty is very great, if that, it is better for the widow to enjoy the blessings in the country of Wu, you and I are rich and noble, why bother so hard and recruit virtuous people" Sun Wu was taken aback and blurted out: "Then the king's ambition is" Qingji said slowly: "You are all the ministers of the widow's heart, and the widow might as well tell you to know."
The ambition of the widow is not to dominate, but to seek the country" He pointed to the direction of the Central Plains and said word by word: "What the widow wants to seek is the world of Zongzhou" As soon as Qingji's words came out, several important ministers around him were stunned, and the city was silent for a while, only to hunt with a banner.
After a while, Bao Yu exclaimed: "The king is ambitious, and Bao Yu has never thought of such an idea.
But how many years will it take for us to succeed in all this?"
Qingji said with a smile: "Yin Shang has existed for six hundred years, and later, when the princes were born, the Great Shang Dynasty has stood there, and when they are old, the Great Shang Dynasty is still standing there, so many people have become accustomed to its existence, and they will not dream of replacing it, just like you are now."
However, King Wu thought about it, and acted, he raised troops to attack the two counties of Feng and Hao, and what was the result, the matter was man-made, and if you don't do it, you will never know if you can succeed.
The general trend of the world, divided for a long time, will be divided for a long time, this is the general trend, today the widow does not do, one day there will be others to do, until the car is on the same track, the book is the same, the person is the same, and then create a new world.
Life is only a hundred years in a hurry, are you willing to help the widow accomplish this great cause?"
"Be the founder of the country, divide the world with the world, and be a prince."
As soon as they thought of this goal, everyone couldn't help but be fascinated, and their hearts were pounding.
Of course, Qingji won't tell them that he doesn't plan to do it overnight.
With him, Wu will take many detours to become a strong country, but when the conditions for dominating the world are ripe, I am afraid that he may not be able to do it in his lifetime.
But when Qin Xiaogong changed the law to strengthen the country, his goal would not be to dominate the world, but he created the conditions, so he won the government and did it.
Qing Ji had clearly begun to accumulate strength from now on, and he believed that it would definitely be much faster than the original process of the Qin state, and when his Wu state had the strength to dominate the world, the Qin state, which had declined again from this time, would probably still be a small western state that was so weakened that it was almost annexed by the Wei state.
Even if this great work is not done by him, it is not impossible for his descendants to carry out the final step.
He has been in this era for so long, he has relatives, friends, loyal subordinates here, and soon, he will have his own wife, his own children, he no longer has any barriers to this world, he has fully integrated into this world, and put his ambitions and ambitions into this world.
It is indeed an unattainable goal to dominate the world after a lifetime of achievements, but Sun Wu, Fan Li and others will not think so, they are extremely intelligent, ambitious, in this era of open-mindedness, all kinds of novel doctrines and political ideas abound, it is easy to accept a new concept that breaks the earth.
What's more, there is a case of success of King Wu first, and Qingji is favored by the gods of heaven, and once they have a monarch in the Tianfu Immortal Kingdom, once they accept this ambition, they have greater confidence than Qingji.
Qingji said: "Changqing, the widow ordered you to build the Lingyan Pavilion, after the completion of the Lingyan Pavilion, it will be specially used as a portrait of the heroes who have made great contributions to the expansion of the territory since the Qingji Dynasty, and together with the Taimiao of my Wu State Clan, enjoy the blood food of the Wu Kingdom, and accept the worship of the descendants of the descendants."
Sun Wu and the others listened to the heroic spirit and blood flow, and the urgent idea of making contributions to the cause surged In the palace council hall, Sun Wu and others were expressing their opinions and talking eloquently.
Hegemony is different from seeking the country, according to Qingji's ambition, Sun Wu and others have re-planned in foreign policy, and now there are two natural political talents of Fan Li and Wen Chong, plus Sun Wu, a soldier saint, work together to study, and soon come up with a detailed plan for foreign strategy, discuss with Qingji every day, and then revise it, so as to formulate the political direction as soon as possible, and develop accordingly.
Sun Wu is analyzing the surrounding situation of Wu State, his opinion has been discussed privately with Qingji yesterday, and at this time he is talking to Fan Li and others, Qingji because he has heard him say it once, he can't help but slip away, and he begins to think of his own thoughts.
After Cheng Xiu transported grain back to Gusu, Wen Chong quickly raised another sum of money to send him out.
It is hard to travel between countries, but Cheng Xiu is a little tired of it, it seems that he deliberately avoids Qingji, for fear that Qingji will ask him about Cheng Bi's whereabouts.
Qingji knows his mentality, and the more Cheng Xiu hides and evades, the more sure Qingji is that he already has news of Cheng Bi.
Thinking of Cheng Bi's reluctant appearance when he left the Lu Kingdom, Qingji really couldn't think of any reason for her to come to her side but not see him.
Qingji didn't think that Cheng Bi would encounter any danger, if she was really in danger, Cheng Xiu would not run for him so steadfastly, let alone hide Cheng Bi's whereabouts from him.
Could it be that Cheng Bi was jealous because of his marriage with Shaoguang Xiaoman and Ruoxi, so it stands to reason that he will not, Cheng Bi is a female surname in this era, she will not have that kind of consciousness, with her own identity, even if she is the princess of the largest country in the world to marry, and she is the most jealous, it is impossible to prevent him from hiring a concubine.
Then when he left Lu State, he had a new love This thought just flashed through her mind, and she was thrown away by Qingji, although Cheng Bi is full of charms and charming, it is just that she was born with such a bewitching appearance that brings disaster to the country and the people, this woman is not a slut with a very loose crony, with her appearance and identity, if she is so casual, she will not be able to keep her body like jade after the death of her husband who she has never loved for so many years, from the bottom of her bones, she is even a little afraid and disgusted with men, until she meets herself "Cheng Bi, why are you avoiding me, is it because of Xiaoman's identity, Xiaoman is her daughter, it's not right, in this era, the father's concubine can be accepted as a son, aunts and nephews marry a husband, nephews marry widowed uncles are common things, with Cheng Bi's identity, Xiaoman can't treat her as a mother from beginning to end, this former identity will not be an obstacle, then it's because of Xiaoman's hatred of her" Qingji held his chin and thought about it, Sun Wu thought that the king was attentive when he listened, and said with more interest: "From the above analysis, although my Wu Kingdom is located in the southeast corner, it may not be without the power to win the Central Plains.
Qi and Jin are strong and weak, the ministers are in turmoil, and the princes of the Central Plains are conservative and do not want to forge ahead.
Jingchu is fertile for thousands of miles, and the people are rich, if there is it, it can be enough to see the world. ” Fan Li said: "The king's intention is to recuperate and accumulate national strength at this time."
Therefore, if you can not use troops, you will not use troops, even if you have to, you must limit the war to the minimum scale, although the Chu State was newly defeated by the Wu State, but the strength is still there, and it is not appropriate to take it by force.
Therefore, I thought that when the time was ripe, we could send troops to forcibly take the country, stabilize the rear, and eliminate hidden dangers.
For the state of Chu, it should be done slowly.
The king has sent an envoy to the Qin state to ask for marriage, if the Qin state agrees, and the marriage is married, then the east and west will become friendly, and the Chu state will live in it, and it can be held hostage by the king.
Moreover, the Queen Mother of Chu is the eldest princess of Qin, once the king marries the little princess of Qin, then Queen Wu is the younger sister of the Queen Mother of Chu, and I Wu can exert influence on Chu through this relationship, if Qin State refuses to allow marriage, it will not affect the chess piece of the Queen Mother of Chu.
But she is a woman, and there is no one in the court, Qin Jun is closed to herself, and she is easy and unwilling to set foot outside, so that the Empress Dowager Chu is lonely, and she can only endure it again and again.
Even if there is no relationship between in-laws, as long as she feels that we can contain Fei Wuji and expand the influence of the King of Chu, the minister is sure to persuade her to compromise and cooperate with my Wu State in some matters. ” Wen Chong shook his head and said: "Otherwise, I think that Fa Yue is not in a hurry, and it is not an overnight achievement to compete for the world, and the top priority is to strengthen himself."
Diplomatically, we should be humble and self-contained to cover up our ambitions, befriend the Qin State, get close to the Lu State, hold the Chu State, unite with Song Wei to watch the changes in the world, and hide the wings to wait for the opportunity to exert force.
In terms of internal affairs, it recruited immigrants widely, opened up wasteland, developed agriculture, enriched the government treasury, benefited the people, and strengthened the national strength; Breed the population, expand the source of soldiers, care for the people and protect the religion, and promote the scholars.

Militarily, I think that the top priority at the moment is to take advantage of the fact that the Qi people are advancing southward and Dongyi is in danger, and quickly send troops to enter the territory of Dongyi on the grounds of aiding Yi, so as to first create the fact of occupying the place, and then discuss the alliance with Wuyi with the queen of Dongyi, so that we can take the initiative. ” Hearing this, he bowed his head and said: "I have fought with the Chu people for many years, and I have been an enemy of Gongziguang in the Chu State for more than a year, and I know the Chu State very well.
If you really want to talk about a strong opponent, it is still the state of Chu.
The behemoth of the Chu State is far inferior to us in terms of territory, population, economy, and military strength.
Fortunately, the state of Chu is currently in charge of the annihilation of ministers and the incompetence of the king of Chu, and this huge threat will not put pressure on our state of Wu for the time being.
But with the current strength of my Wu State, it is impossible to take the initiative to attack the Chu State, not to mention the strength of the Chu State itself, and there are many vassal small countries in the Chu State, these small countries of the barbarian clan are still unruly under the rule of the Chu State for hundreds of years, and they always want to make some right and wrong, if we forcibly occupy these lands, we must deal with the counterattack of the Chu State externally, and suppress their resistance internally, and we will inevitably fall into the quagmire and cannot extricate ourselves, in that case, it will ruin the king's long-term plan.
In addition, I don't have an opinion on whether to destroy Yue first or take the land of Dongyi first, but I think what Wen said is very reasonable, and we can't do nothing externally, but the most important thing at present is to recuperate and accumulate national strength. ” Sun Wu concluded: "Summarizing the opinions of all the adults, internally, everyone agrees, and there is no need to say more.
Externally, the problems that our Wu State has to face are mainly the Yue State, the Chu State, and the Dongyi State.
Yue is located in the heart of my Wu country, since Yun Chang called the king, ambition germination, power is gradually expanded, Wu country no matter which direction to develop, must first destroy the Yue country, in order to occupy the entire southeast, stabilize the local foundation, otherwise there is no security at all.
And the Yue Kingdom can only rise from the southeast by defeating our Wu State, and there will be a battle between Wu and Yue.
However, it is easy to win a battle against the Vietnamese army, and if you want to annex its country, the movement will be bigger, so you can let it go first and wait for a better opportunity.
The state of Chu is now our ally, but this relationship is already very weak, and now through the hiding of treasures in the state of Chu, the detention of hostages, and the reuse of the two adults of the young uncle and the bird, it has become bad with Fei Wuji, and this relationship has clearly existed.
And geographically speaking, if our Wu State wants to reach the southeast and look at the world, it must also plot the territory of Chu State.
At the very least, it is necessary to include the Qian, Liudi and other places east of the Dabie Mountain and the large land in Huaibei, so that we can be regarded as having a complete and dangerous southeast, according to the danger of the big river, the solid of the mountains and rivers, enter the Central Plains, and retreat according to the danger.
However, as Da Situ said, the national strength of the Chu State is too strong, and it is impractical to blindly send troops to attack, we can take a series of political, diplomatic, and economic continuous actions to achieve the goal in a roundabout way, and we can also win the refuge of the Empress Dowager Chu through the internal power war of the Chu State, and use small-scale military strikes to gradually encroach and weaken the Chu State, so as to achieve the goal by slowing down.
This is an ongoing, long-term initiative that can be started now, without a rush to see immediate results.
If you want to consolidate the southeast, you must fight for Jianghan; If you want to peek into the Central Plains, you must get Huaisi.
If there is Jianghan and no Huaisi, the national strength will be weak; If there is Huaisi but no upper reaches of Jianghan, the country will be in danger.
Only when the Jianghan, Huai, and Si were all included in the sphere of influence of the Wu State, so that the middle and lower reaches of the Great River were united, and the Huai River basin in the north of the Yangtze River was connected, and the north and south echoed, could this form the purpose of the alliance of forces in the Great River Basin against the princes of the Yellow River Basin as stated by the Great King.
Jianghan is in Chu, Huaisi is in Yi, since the strategy of Chu must be applied to all aspects of long-term planning, then the top priority is the Huaisi region occupied by Dongyi.
Originally, once we entered this place, we would be subject to Qilu's intervention, so if we want to seek this place, we should first eliminate the Yue country, so that my Wu country has no worries before we can plan it, but at present, Qilu is fighting, and Dongyi intends to use my Wu country, which is a God-given opportunity for my Wu country.
Therefore, my opinion is the same as that of the Wen doctor, I should take Dongyi first, I don't know what the king wants."
Qingji held his chin and was still pondering, and hurriedly called: "Where does the king think he should take it first?"
"Well, marry first, marry first, ah, take first, take first" Qingji looked dazed, and the ministers looked at each other when they saw this, Qingji's face turned red, and he said: "The widow is also thinking about the severity of the plot to alleviate the severity of all parties, and he fell into contemplation for a while, and he never heard the conclusion, Xiangguo and say it again. ” Sun Wu briefly repeated everyone's conclusions, and Qingji muttered: "The state of Chu must be placed last, as for where the Yue country and Dongyi will take first" At this moment, a person hurriedly walked into the council hall and presented a secret letter sealed with fire paint.
When Qingji discusses important matters with his ministers, he is not allowed to disturb anything, except for one exception, and that is the Ears and Eyes Division.
This is an intelligence agency established by Qingji on the basis of Chengxiu's commercial intelligence network, and it may also be the first specialized intelligence agency among the countries in the Spring and Autumn Period.
Kyung-ki, who came from the future, was well aware of the importance of information, so this intelligence agency was completely in his own hands, and stipulated that important news should be reported to him at any time and on any occasion.
Qingji took the secret letter and checked the seal, took a knife to cut the seal, took out a white silk from the inside, the ministers waited quietly, Qingji carefully looked at the secret letter, raised his head and said: "There is no need to calculate, the opportunity must not be lost, we must now take the lead in the first infantry to send Dongyi, and the sooner the faster." ” Cover Yu said movingly: "Why did the king say this, what important news is there?"
Qingji raised the white silk in his hand, and said expressionlessly: "There is news from the Lu State that Qilu intends to strike the war, and he will discuss in Jiagu in the near future." ” To be continued:
