Chapter 73: Dark Investment
If you have money, you will naturally think that you have power. Only with power can you ensure the safety of money. However, this is just an ordinary person's idea and the practice of most merchants, but in some periods, things can often go further: having soldiers.
There is only one way to do this, that is, the county system. Officials from the examination will definitely be loyal to the King of Yue wholeheartedly because they must obtain the military support of the King of Yue, and do not pretend to be powerful, and their power will be destroyed at the same time. Once the county system is implemented, why should Qu Qin sell himself? Qu Qin is willing to sell himself, why should the honorary scholars and soldiers under him sell themselves?
When Lu Zhuo thought that restoring the country was just a deception, Xiong Jing said again: "If General Qin can achieve great achievements in the future, Wu Yuan can reward Wu Yuan's ownership. From then on, Wu Yuan has no agreement with him; if Yue Jun can achieve great achievements in the future, Wu Yuan can also reward Yue Jun to Yue Jun. However, " Xiong Jing emphasized, " Wu Yuan has heard that the transaction will not change the lease. The persons who are not granted the title of Yue Jun has no right to change the agreement, unless the persons who are not granted allow it. Although the land is already Yue, they are already Yue ministers. If Yue Jun violates the agreement at the time of gift, Wu Yuan will definitely send troops to attack."
"I know." Lu Zhuo was shocked when he heard this, and understood that this kind of gift was essentially restoration of the country. However, it was no longer the Yue Kingdom in the past, but the Yue Kingdom in which the king had to rule the vassals, honorary scholars, soldiers, and common people kept their trust and complied with the covenant.
"Oh!" Xiong Jing sighed. "If Mr. Yue really wants to explore, he should explore the world with Buying. Yue is only one corner of the state of Chu, Chu is only one corner of the world, the world is only one corner of the middle continent, and the middle continent is only one of the six continents."
"Reported to the great king, Yue Jun said that this is the land of the ancestors, and I dare not lose it." Lu Zhuo often communicated with Yue Junkai, and when he reached this point, he had no need to hide it.
"If you are not honest, you must make plans." Xiong Jing nodded and said. The places south of Zhenze were indeed old places of Vietnam.
"I thanked the king." In addition to Lu Zhuo, Ou Zhe and others also bowed to him and thanked him, then retreated aside and stopped talking.
It was getting late, and Xiong Jing asked about other things when he was going down the ladder. "If we build another big-wing warship, how many can we build each month?"
"Reported to the great king, there are more than ten shipbuilding yards, docks, and more than fifty ship platforms, including Zijin Mountain, Shaobi, Zhongli, Wudu, Haiyang, Guangling, Zhufang, Jinling, Changan, Jiuzi, Quean, Tongyi, Caogang, and Egang. The big wings are simpler, four thousand working days are enough, and you can get into the water in more than a month, but there is not enough wood."
"Four thousand working days?" Xiong Jing was familiar with working hours, and the construction of the mansion was used to working days. Thinking of wood, he gritted his teeth and said, "If there is no wood, then the main court, main bedroom, and small bedroom are demolished, and leave the Taishe Taimiao."
"King?" Although there is a precedent for demolishing the palace, the main palace can be demolished, Gongshujian was still shocked.
"If the country does not exist, what's the benefit of a palace?" Xiong Jing sighed. "Also, the residences of all counties and towns and ethnic groups will also be demolished."
"Oh. King Jing demolished his main bedroom, and he was in court?" Zhao Zheng, who received the latest intelligence, was a little surprised. He had heard that the King of Chu demolished some palaces for building sea boats, but he did not expect that this time the main bedroom and the main campus would be in court.
For the Qin Palace, the main bedroom is the Qutai Palace, and the main court is the Zhangtai Palace. The former is the place where Zhao Zheng handles official duties every day, and the latter is the place where he visits the court every day and meets foreign envoys. Once these two places are demolished, the country will be out of power.
"Report to the king, it's true." Huan Qi bowed and said, "When King Jing heard that our Qin army attacked him again, he had no intention of fighting again. King Jing demolished his main bedroom, and the courts, and demolished his residences and county governments. It is reported that the people of Jing wanted to move south to Jiangdong, so they needed to build large boats."
"King, if King Jing really demolished the main hall and the main dynasty, there would be signs of moving south. However, the Jing people also had the possibility of a great boat construction army, so our army should not be careful." Various work to attack Chu was underway, which made Wei Liao very proud. Unfortunately, he was still a nobleman and could not be involved in the intelligence system under the jurisdiction of the State.
"Why are there 800,000 soldiers who attacked Chu? "Bai Gong retorted. With such a huge force, only the Battle of Changping can compare with it. The Chu State can only fight for more than 200,000 troops, and attacking Chu will definitely destroy it.
"In Chu State, one attack after another should be made so that it cannot breathe." Wei Liao said. Although Zhao Zheng agreed to attack Chu, he continued to attack Zhao after being persuaded by Gu Gong and others, and then returned to attack Chu.
"The same is true for Zhao State." Doi retorted again without hesitation. "Zhao State and Jing State are one in the south and one in the north, our army cannot take care of both. I am worried that the king will give the two countries a breath in order to take care of both."
"Bookqing doesn't have to say that he will attack Jing and Zhao." The ministers had different opinions. Zhao Zheng didn't care, but the matters determined by the court were not allowed to be changed. Therefore, Zhao Zheng bowed his head when he was told by Zhao Zheng. Zhao Zheng asked Huan again: "Can the people of Jing have other actions?"
"The people of Qi seem to have promised the people of Jing, so they will no longer join forces with me." Huan Qi reported again, this was the second major event involved in the destruction of Jing.
"Why is this?" Zhao Zheng's face turned cold and he asked urgently. "Isn't the King of Qi afraid of my Great Qin?"
"My..." The King of Qi is indeed not brave, but unfortunately Huan Qi didn't know the specific reason. He could only report some rumors: "I heard that the King of Qi wanted to obtain the military armor of Jing State, but I don't know about this..."
"Jing State's Armor?" After Zhao Zheng saw this, Huan Qi looked at Wei Liao, Dokong and others again. He remembered Dokong and said that the consequence of attacking Chu was probably that the Jing people gave the art of the armour and spear formation to other countries. Unexpectedly, this happened before the army could be driven out.
"I would like to ask the king not to take into account the two countries of Wei and Han. The 500,000 army was used by the state of Wei and quickly attacked the capital of Ying in Jing." Wei Liao hurriedly said.
"Miao, how can the fifty armies gather in one place? Once the Jing people cut off the food route and the Wei people stand by, wouldn't it be necessary for the entire army to be fully imprinted?" Zhao Shan disagreed with Wei Liao's opinion. The enemy and the enemy and the enemy are very clear about where the Qin army can attack from. Wei Liao was talking about the direction of the east side of the Honggou. The attack from this direction must cross the Honggou. A floating bridge has been built on the Honggou. However, if only the Qin army attacked from the east side of the Honggou, once the buoyant bridge was cut, the Wei people would stand by and watch, and the 500,000 troops would be short of food and collapse. Such risks should be avoided with great strength.
"King, I think it's impossible to collect 500,000 more than one place." Huan Qi also spoke out against it.
"The king, I think that the attack on Jing only takes two seasons in winter and spring, and the water is full in summer and autumn, and it is not good for the attack, so I cannot quickly." Doi Gong said again.
"When the water is full in summer and autumn, it is also the time when the Jing people attack me." Wei Liao felt it was becoming increasingly difficult to discuss war with these veterans, and he had to remind again that the Chu army would take the initiative to attack in the past few months.
"The King of Jing has dismantled his main bedroom and is in the morning. He quickly built boats and moved south. How dare he attack me?" Doctor smiled and then bowed to Zhao Zheng, "King, the iron official Sima Chang reported that the furnace has been completed. You can open the furnace and refine it on a day. Please take a look at the right time."
"Oh. The big furnace has become a great charity!" Zhao Zheng said happily.
The art of Ju Iron has troubled Qin for a long time. After the craftsmen of Yan State came, the Shaofu finally began to practice Ju. However, Yan State was not as good as the art of Ju in Chu. Their method required thirty, fifty, or even hundreds of times. Even the sword of Ju was not as good as the sword of Chu, and it was amazing and the output was insufficient.
There is no similarity between copper soldiers and giant soldiers. After the copper soldiers are cast, they need to be sharpened. After the copper soldiers are grinding, they will be formed. Different giant soldiers. Giant irons are forged and molded, and they must be forged after burning red. Although Shaofu is training craftsmen, tens of thousands of people can learn the art of forging and giants in one day. The final solution is still from the Jing Kingdom, that is, the art of converter refining.
"When is the auspicious day?" Zhao Zheng's joy was unconcealable. After that day, he had a nightmare after the martial arts competition. He dreamed that rows of Jing people were wearing huge armor and rushing towards him with huge spears in their hands. His leather armor was like Chu paper, and he could penetrate it with one stab.
"Report to the king, tomorrow is a good day." After the Yan people offered the art of "Great Iron", the king had ordered him to supervise the construction of Great Iron.
"Good. I will be at least in my home tomorrow." Zhao Zheng excitedly took a few cases and said, "The matter of attacking Jing is based on the strategy set by the State Guard. The King of Qi is not willing to be in a row..." He suddenly thought of Zhao: "How about Zhao?"
"Reported to the great king, King Zhao has passed away, and his eldest son Zhao Qian ascended the throne, and he appointed the Marquis of Chunping as the prime minister." Huan Qi said, "Our army attacked Zhao, and the people of Zhao have asked for help from Jing. If our army attacked Jing, the people of Zhao would be happy to see him, and they would not save Jing."
"Tell me that the attack on Zhao is to save Yan." After the crown prince Zhao Qian was promoted, he was not crowned. The king was extremely brave, and Wei Han surrendered in every way, but King Jing was not convinced. Thinking that his opponent was getting weaker and weaker, Zhao Zheng suddenly burst into laughter.
"The king is happy today." When Mi Xu was sleeping in the Six Ying Palace, she saw Zhao Zheng coming here to share lunch with him, and her complexion was different yesterday, so she couldn't help but ask more questions while smiling.
"If you have something to please, it will be happy." Zhao Zheng also smiled. After taking office, he was often busy until late at night, and his meals were simple, and he rarely went to the queen's bedroom to have meals. After smiling, he looked at Mi Lu and asked seriously: "The Queen really doesn't care about me attacking Jing?"
"I am a native of Qin. After my death, I was buried in the Qin ancestral tomb. How could I care about the king's slashing jing?" Mi Rui's smile was a little stiff. She quickly turned around and took out a large piece of riveted chain mail. "Please turn around, please, I want to measure the king's shoulder width..."
Chainmail is a controlled item, but before it is riveted into pieces, it is just a roll of thin iron wire. Mi Lu also riveted iron armor in the Jutie Mansion Villa villa. According to Xiong Jing, any woman in Chu State must make a chain mail before getting married to her husband. This king's order was not implemented among the people, but was implemented in the royal palace. The princesses always riveted their chain mail in their spare time.
"What's this?" Zhao Zheng looked at the chain mail on Mi Rui's hand and was puzzled.
"This is..." Mi Rui just did her instincts, but many things made her think of Chu State. "This is... armored clothes."
