Chapter Fifty-Eight: Sha Xian
Although he is a feudal monarch, if he does not perform well, he may still be taken away by the Zheng Dynasty and renamed to Yushi. After Xiong Jing finished speaking, Peng Chengjun's face turned pale, and he was afraid that he would be sued to the Zhengchao and lose his jurisdiction like the Suixian Mu clan. But Xiong Jing didn't delve into him, and continued to ask: "How many acres of arable land are there in Dongting and Cangwu counties?" ”
"This ......" the people were silent for a moment.
There is a lot of arable land in Dongting County, and before the battle of Yanying, 'Yun, Pang, Changsha, and Chu Zhisu also'. The state of Chu depends on millet produced in Hunan. After the Battle of Yanying, Dongting County was repeatedly fought for by the Qin and Chu armies, and the number of people decreased dramatically. After moving eastward, Yingdu did not support the relocation of people to Dongting, but moved the people of Dongting to Huaishang. Now the people who are moving away, if it is just the peasants moving south, of course everyone supports it, but the problem is that the people who move south are organized, and the people of Chen County are still Chen County, and those of Xiang County are still Xiang County, which is very unpopular.
After looking at each other, Zhao Liu said: "Tell the king, there is a lot of arable land in the two counties of Dongting and Cangwu, but is it the land that is relocated to the two counties, or is it divided into two counties?" ”
"It should be a relocation." Xiong Jing thought for a moment. "So, how much arable land is?"
"That's it," Akira breathed a sigh of relief, and the rest of the people's hesitant gazes turned into anticipation. "With the land of Dongting and Cangwu counties, 200,000 households can be relocated, and each household will be granted 100 acres of land."
"How much is the yield per mu, how many stones does a small mu produce? How about going to Ganshui? Xiong Jing asked.
"Huh," they chuckled. Zhaoliu said: "The king doesn't know, the fields of Dongting County are mostly Shangtian, and there are more than two stones in the small mu, half of the two stones, and almost nothing in the lower fields." The output of the people in a year is twice that of Huaishang, Huaishang has many people and few fields, and a household is less than 100 acres, how can it be as good as 100 acres in Dongting County? ”
In Chu ruler, one large mu is 2.4 times that of a small mu, and one hundred mu is 65 city mu. Shimoda is one and a half stones, Nakata is two and a half stones, and Ueda is two and a half stones. If the cultivated land yield in Dongting County is more than two stones, then the life of the peasants is indeed better than that of Huaishang.
"If you grant a small mu, you can move 400,000 households." Xiong Jing whispered to himself, and only when Zhao Liu, who was sitting nearby, heard this, he thought for a while before reacting, and then looked at Xiong Jing dumbfounded.
"Nothing." Xiong Jing didn't want to continue discussing the topic and began to drink with the crowd.
"When the ministers heard that the Qi people were rude, they took the king lightly. Will the king return to Yingdang Qi? Leiyangjun stood up and said, which pot is not opened.
As soon as he said that everyone looked at Xiong Jing, Xiong Jing drank a glass of wine before he calmly said, "I want to cut Qi." ”
"The king of Vaqi, please allow the minister to lead the army with you." Leiyangjun said again, his words were extremely sincere. When he did this, the others also stood up and said, "Please allow the king to accompany his ministers." ”
"Why bother?" Xiong Jing has his own plans. "Vaqi is not a private matter, and the secretary and others don't have to accompany him."
"The king......" Zhaoliu waved his hand to stop the people who still wanted to speak, "The minister heard that the Qi country has hundreds of thousands of armor soldiers, and there are 100,000 kings, how can the king cut them down?" ”
"If you cut it down, you don't have your own opinions." Xiong Jing Road. "The plan of the Qin people is to make Chu Qi turn against him, you wait to lead the army to go, and fulfill the wishes of the Qin people......"
Xiong Jing didn't say it thoroughly, although everyone was puzzled, it could be seen that he was confident, so it was not good to ask each other again. No one knows who Xiong Jing has scolded in his heart at this time. If the alliance fails, he was going to withdraw immediately, but he hesitated and did not retreat, and then it was difficult to ride a tiger like this. If it is not felled, the national prestige will be damaged; Fell, Chu Qi made enemies.
And what a commendable princess, Xiong Jing has only seen the portrait, and even if she has seen it, she has forgotten what she looks like. For the sake of an unimpressed woman, it is as if you like her as much as you like.
I was unhappy and drank too much. Xiong Jing finally returned to the bed somehow, but when he woke up, he saw Chang Jiang's smiling face. "Your Majesty, Yingdu has received the news of the gluttony, and it has reached the strait."
“…… Yes! Xiong Jing was stunned for a while before he understood what was going on, and said hurriedly: "Where is Xunwen?" ”
"King, Xunwen is in Yingdu. Just say that Ding Weizhi went to the strait. "Chang Jiang only has a copy of the flight message sent by Yingdu in the morning, and the flight message is very brief, only recording the general itinerary of the fleet." It is also said that the ugly Japanese side entered the strait. ”
"Ding Wei to the Strait, Ding Wei to the Strait ......" Xiong Jing muttered excitedly, the fleet left Panyu on the day of Wuxu, and two days later went out of the bay to Tuen Mun Island, Tuen Mun Island and then went to the Strait, Ding Wei to the Strait, a total of only nine days, this is also too fast!
Xiong Jing took out an inaccurate map and compared the voyage from Panyu to Singapore. He thought it would take about a month to get to Singapore, but now it's good, it's only nine days. If it weren't for the news sent back by the gluttonous pigeon, he wouldn't have believed it anyway.
In fact, since the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, the Arab and Persian merchant ships going back and forth in the South China Sea and the Indian Ocean have a tailwind, starting from Guangzhou, they can reach Kunlun Island in Vietnam (now Kunshan Island in Ho Chi Minh City, the southernmost tip of the Indochina Peninsula) in 13 days...... Wait a minute.
More than half of this voyage is along the coast. After arriving at Kunlun Island, he sailed directly across the sea and took five days to Singapore. The Mountain Ghost and the Gluttonous are all sailed, and the winged sails will be hung out during the day, which is far faster than the Arab and Persian merchant ships.
Xiong Jing only thinks that it is a miracle to arrive in Singapore in nine days, if he can reach Singapore in nine days, then how many days can he go out of the strait and cross the Bay of Bengal to Sri Lanka? Half a month, a month? Perhaps when he returned to Yingdu, the Gluttony had already traveled north from Sri Lanka to the mouth of the Ganges River.
With a little bit of longing, Xiong Jing went south from Qingyang the next day, and went to Pengcheng through Wuqiao Pass, and after Pengcheng was Yunmengze on the left. Seeing that Xiong Jing kept looking at Yun Mengze on the deck, You Shi coughed and persuaded: "The king should not look forward for a long time, if the Qin people know about it, it will be unfavorable." ”
"That's true." What Youshi said made sense, Xiong Jing had no choice but not to look at Yun Mengze, and looked at the right bank of the Yangtze River. There was no city on the right bank, so he returned to the knight's room and looked at Yun Mengze with a telescope in the window.
Yunmeng is already a county, and there is a left Yunmeng and a right Yunmeng. The reason why it is divided into left and right, Xiong Jing's judgment is that the summer water passes through the river, so it is divided into right cloud dream and right cloud dream. Yunmengze, like the right bank of the Yangtze River, is full of swamps, and there are no villages in sight, let alone farmers. I saw a lot of birds and beasts, but unfortunately I couldn't hunt them.
"Great King ......" Seeing that Xiong Jing was still looking at Yun Mengze, Right Shi coughed again and wanted to speak.
"Words." Xiong Jing put away Lu Lijing, not knowing what Youshi was going to say.
"Does the king know Sha Xian?" The left and right Shi glanced at each other, and the right Shi talked about Sha Xian.
"Yes." Xiong Jing nodded. From Pengcheng to the north, about 500 miles down the river to Shaxian, Shaxian is Xiayi dozens of miles past it.
"Does the king know that Sha Xian belonged to Qin more than twenty years ago?" Right Shi sighed and said again.
"Belong to Qin?!" Xiong Jing's eyes widened, and he shook the map in his hand. "Chu and Qin are bounded by the great river, the left of the river belongs to Qin, and the right of the river belongs to Chu. Maps and league books all say so, Shaxian is south of the river, how can it belong to Qin? ”
"The king didn't read Xun Taifu's "Strong Country"?" Right Shi is still tactful, he is worried that Xiong Jing will be angry.
"Not yet." The expressions of the left and right Shi were different, and Xiong Jing's face sank when he felt something was wrong in his heart. Coincidentally, a boat with the flag of Qin came from the opposite side, this is the boat of the common people, and the Qin people on it saw the big wing war boat, and hurriedly avoided to the side, looking a little frightened.
"Hey." Right Shi didn't see the Qin people coming from the opposite side, and he finally chose to say bluntly: "The first king was in Qin, and he wanted to return to the country, but the Qin people didn't allow it, so he went out of the pledge palace to return to the country privately." After ascending the throne, the Qin people asked for guilt, and they had no choice but to settle the state. ”
"So Sha Xian has returned to Qin?" Xiong Jing remembered a strange incident when the Great Sima Mansion was discussing the Battle of Jiuying.
There are two waterways to attack Jiuying, one enters the Han River from Xiayi, and can go to the Jingling (today's gate) in the north of Yunmengze, Jingling is a three-fork intersection, to the east can enter the Yangtze River, to the south can reach Jiying, and to the north runs through the entire Jianghan Plain, leading to Xiangyang, which Xiongjing dreamed of;
The second road is the Yangtze River. That is, starting from Pengcheng and going up the river. Although this section of the Yangtze River is tortuous, it is closer to the southern city of the old Yingji than from Xiayi to the Han River. It's just that if you want to take the Jianghan Plain, you still have to go from Jiyingdong to Jingling, and go north from Jingling.
When Li He and the others objected to Xiong Jing's plan to set off from Pengcheng, they looked very strange and stopped talking. It seems that everyone does not dare to speak directly about the fault of the first king, and they dare not say that Sha Xian has been dedicated to the Qin State by the first king and the martyr king.
"What else is there that you don't know?" Xiong Jing took a deep breath and said as calmly as he could.
"Not yet." Right Shi was a little embarrassed, when the first king was in power, Yin Huangxi asked everyone not to sand envy in front of the king, and no one dared to mention it after Xiong Jing ascended the throne.
"From now on, all the maps will be changed!" Xiong Jing was only a little angry, he thought of some bad things again, and some maps never dared to fully mark the territory to which he belonged.
"Yui!" Everyone in the knight's room bowed down and agreed, although it had nothing to do with them.
