Chapter 58: Sha Xian

Although he was a vassal king, if he performed poorly, he might still be robbed of his fief and changed it to Yushi. After Xiong Jing finished speaking, Pengchengjun's face was pale, fearing that he would be sued to Zhengchao and lose his jurisdiction like the Mu family in Sui County. However, Xiong Jing did not investigate him deeply and continued to ask: "How many acres of arable fields are there in Dongting and Cangwu counties?"

"This..." Everyone was speechless for a moment.

There was a lot of arable land in Dongting County. Before the Battle of Yanying, "Yun, Pang, Changsha, and the grain of Chu". The Chu State relied on the grain produced in Hunan. After the Battle of Yanying, Dongting County repeatedly fought for the Qin and Chu army, and the population decreased drastically. After the migration eastward, Yingdu did not support the migration of the people in Dongting, but moved the people in Dongting to Huai. Now, if the migration of the people, if only farmers moved south, everyone would certainly support it. The problem is that the people who moved south were organized, Chen County or Chen County, and Xiang County was still Xiang County, which is very unpopular.

A group of people looked at me, and I looked at you. After looking at each other, Zhao Liu said, "Report to the king, there are many arable lands in the two counties and Cangwu counties in Dongting, Cangwu, but should they move people to the two counties or divide them into the two counties and counties?"

"It should be a migrant." Xiong Jing thought for a moment. "In this way, how much is the arable land?"

"So," Zhao Liu breathed a sigh of relief, and the hesitant eyes of the others also turned into expectations. "In the two counties of Dongting and Cangwu, 200,000 households can be moved, each of which can be granted a hundred acres of land."

"How much is the yield per mu, how many stones of millet per small mu? How much does it have to reach Gan River?" Xiong Jing asked.

"Haha," everyone chuckled. Zhao Liu said, "The king doesn't know that most of the fields in Dongting County are upper fields, and there are more than two acres of small acres, and half of the fields are lower than those in the lower fields. The people produce a year, which is twice as many as those in the Huai River. There are more people on the Huai River, and there are less than one hundred small acres of each household. How can they reach the one hundred acres of Dongting County?"

With Chu rule, one large acre is two-four times that of a small acre, and one hundred acres is sixty-five city acres. One and a half stones of land are lowered, two and a half stones of land are upper. If the farmland output in Dongting County is more than two stones, then the farmers will have a better life than Huaihang.

"If you are a small acre, you can move 400,000 households." Xiong Jing whispered himself. Only Zhao Liu, who was sitting in front of him, heard this. He thought for a while before he realized it, and then looked at Xiong Jing in amazement.

"Nothing happened." Xiong Jing didn't want to continue discussing this topic and started drinking with everyone.

"I heard that the people of Qi are rude and are you looking down on the king. Should the king come back to Ying and attack Qi?" Lei Yang Jun stood up and said, "Whether the pot is not opened or opened.

As soon as he said to attack Qi, everyone looked at Xiong Jing. Xiong Jing calmly finished drinking a cup of wine, "I want to attack Qi."

"The king attacks Qi, please allow the ministers to follow him." The king of Leiyang said again, his words were extremely sincere. He did this, and the others also stood up and bowed, "Please ask the king to follow him."

"Why do you have to mobilize the troops?" Xiong Jing had his own plans. "It is a private matter for attacking Qi, so you don't have to follow him."

"King..." Zhao Liu waved his hand to stop everyone who wanted to speak, "I heard that there are hundreds of thousands of soldiers in Qi State and 100,000 soldiers. How can the king attack him?"

"If you attack it, you will have your own opinions." Xiong Jing said. "The Qin people's plan was to make Chu Qi turn against you. You will lead your army to fulfill the Qin people's wishes..."

Xiong Jing did not say it thoroughly. Although everyone was suspicious and puzzled, it was obvious that he was confident, so he couldn't ask again. No one knew who Xiong Jing was scolding him in his heart at this time. If the alliance failed, he would have to withdraw his beef immediately. He hesitated and refused to withdraw his beef, and then hesitated to be so difficult to defeat him. If he did not attack, his country's prestige would be damaged; if he attacked, Chu Qi would be in a bad relationship.

There is also that kind of princess. Xiong Jing has only seen the portrait. Even if he has seen it, he has forgotten what she looks like. For the sake of a woman who has no impression, how much she likes her.

He was unhappy and drank too much. Xiong Jing finally returned to the bed for some reason, but when he woke up, he saw Chang Jiang's smiling face. "Report to the king, Yingdu has received the Taotie number, and he has arrived at the strait."

"...Ah!" Xiong Jing was stunned for a while before he understood what had happened, and said anxiously: "Where is Xunwen?"

"King, Xunwen is in Yingdu. I only say that Dingwei will arrive at the strait." Chang Jiang only had a copy of Feixun sent from Yingdu in the morning. Feixun was very simple, only recording the rough itinerary of the fleet. "I also said that the day when Guichou entered the strait."

"Ding Wei Ri arrives at the Strait, Ding Wei Ri arrives at the Strait..." Xiong Jing murmured to himself in excitement. The fleet left Panyu on the 19th day of Wuxu. After two days, he left the bay to Tuen Mun Island. He went to Tuen Mun Island again. Ding Wei Ri arrived at the Strait. He only walked nine days in total. He was walking too fast!

Xiong Jing took out an inaccurate map and gestured the journey from Panyu to Singapore. He thought it would take about a month to get to Singapore, but now it will be better, it will be in just nine days. If Taotie hadn't sent the news back with a carrier pigeon, he wouldn't believe it no matter what.

In fact, the Tang Dynasty began, and went back and forth in the South China Sea, with the Indian Ocean, and the Arab and Persian merchant ships set off from Guangzhou and arrived in Vietnam on the 13th day (now Kunshan Island in Ho Chi Minh City, the southernmost tip of the Indochina Peninsula). This was a little circle and walked along the coast for a long section, passing through Jiuzhou Stone, Xiangshi Stone, Dibulao Mountain, Huanwang Kingdom, Lingshan, Mendu Kingdom... and so on.

Most of this voyage is along the coast. After arriving at Kunlun Island, you can travel straight across the sea and go to Singapore in five days. The Shangui and Taotie are all equipped with sails, and will also hang out wing sails during the day, with a speed far superior to Arab and Persian merchant ships.

Xiong Jing only felt that it was a miracle to arrive in Singapore in nine days. If he could arrive in nine days, then in a few days, he could go out of the strait and cross the Bay of Bengal to Sri Lanka? Half a month, one month? Perhaps when he returned to Yingdu, the Taotie had already reached the mouth of the Ganges from Sri Lanka to the north.

With a little longing, Xiong Jing went north from Qingyang the next day and passed Wuguguan to Pengcheng. After Pengcheng, Yunmengze was on the left. Seeing Xiong Jing looking at Yunmengze on the deck, the right Shi coughed and advised: "Your Majesty should not look at it for a long time. If the Qin people knew about it, it would be unfavorable."

"That's true." What the Right Historian said made sense, Xiong Jing had to look at the right bank of the Yangtze River. There was no city and town on the right bank. He returned to Jue Room and looked at Yunmengze with a telescope on the window.

Yunmeng is already a county, with Yunmeng on the left and right. The reason for the left and right is Xiongjing's judgment that the summer water passes through the marsh, so it is divided into Yunmeng on the right and Yunmeng on the right. Yunmengze is like the right bank of the Yangtze River. It is full of swamps and villages, and farmers are not seen. There are many birds and beasts, but unfortunately they cannot be hunted.

"King..." The Right Shi saw Xiong Jing still looking at Yun Mengze, and coughed again, trying to speak.

"Yan." Xiong Jing put away Lu Lijing, not knowing what the Right Shi was going to say.

"Do you know Sha Xian?" The left and right Shi looked at each other, and the right Shi talked about Sha Xian.

"Zheng." Xiong Jing nodded. From Pengcheng north, he went to Shaxian about 500 miles along the river. Shaxian had been in Xiayi for dozens of miles.

"Do you know that Sha Xian belonged to Qin more than 20 years ago?" The Right Shi sighed and said again.

"Owned by Qin?" Xiong Jing's eyes widened, and he shook the map in his hand. "Chu and Qin use the river as the boundary, and the river leaves and returns to Qin, and the river goes to Chu. The map and the alliance letters all say this. How can Sha Xian belong to Qin in the south of the river?"

"The king has not read the "Strong Country" by Xun Taifu?" The Right Shi was still tactful, and he was worried that Xiong Jing would be angry.

"No." The expressions of the left and right Shi were different. Xiong Jing, who felt something was wrong, looked dark. It happened that a boat with the Qin flag was coming from the opposite side. This was the boat of the common people. When the Qin people above saw the big winged warship, they hurriedly avoided one side, with a little frightened face.

"Oh." The Right Shi did not see the Qin people coming from the opposite side. He finally chose to say bluntly: "The former king once conscripted Qin, but the Qin people refused to allow it, so he went privately to the palace to return to the country. The people of the Qin people ascended the throne and asked for punishment, and had no choice but to accept the prefecture and pacify."

"So Sha Xian has returned to Qin?" Xiong Jing remembered a strange thing when the Grand Sima Mansion discussed the Battle of the Old Ying.

There are two waterways to attack Jiuying. One is from Xiayi and enter the Han River, and you can reach Jingling (Today's Gate) north of Yunmengze. Jingling is the intersection of Sancha Road. You can enter the Yangtze River to the east, Jiying to the south, and run through the entire Jianghan Plain to the north, leading to Xiangyang that Xiong Jing had always dreamed of;

The second road is the Yangtze River. It starts from Pengcheng and goes up against the river. Although this section of the Yangtze River is tortuous, it is closer to the old Jinan City than to go to the Han River from Xiayi. To take down the Jianghan Plain, you have to go from Jiying to Jingling and from Jingling to the north.

When Li Qi and others opposed Xiong Jing's plan to set off in Pengcheng, they looked strange and wanted to speak but stopped. It seemed that no one dared to speak out about the mistakes of the previous kings, and they dared not say that Sha Xian had been presented to Qin by the ancestor King Lie.

"What else is there to be something unfair about?" Xiong Jing took a deep breath and said calmly.

"No." The Right Historian was a little embarrassed. The Yin of the former king was in power. Huang Xie asked everyone not to mention Sha Xian in front of the king, and no one dared to mention Xiong Jing after he ascended the throne.

"From now on, all the maps will be changed by the unspoken people!" Xiong Jing was only a little angry, and he thought of some bad things again, and some maps never dared to fully indicate the territory.
