Chapter 542: A New Era, Annexation Wars (Part I)
Although there are differences between the Furen Mansion and the Da Nei Mansion of the Qin and Han dynasties in later generations, the common point is that it is not under the management of the Prime Minister's Office, so Gao Chai, as the "Great Internal Governor", did not go through Wu Zixu but directly reported to Lu Di.
Hearing this, Lu Di hurriedly stepped forward to take the report, and took a closer look, it turned out to be the progress of public land farming in various places.
Because when Lu Di was demoted to Tai'an, the two-ox ploughing method was implemented on the Tai'an public field, so that the farmers of Qi had rich experience in two-ox farming, but this could not replace the 270,000 troops who were almost evacuated of the agricultural labor force of Qi State, for example, in the last quarter of Qi, there was a situation where a large area of land was barren and could not be cultivated in time.
This era belongs to the era when the climate of China changed from warm to cold, although this is the case, Qi is not like the temperate monsoon climate of Shandong in later generations, but more similar to the subtropical climate of Jiangnan, so his farming is not two years and three seasons but two seasons a year.
This is also one of the reasons why Lu Di privately asked Zhong Lichun to go abroad to buy slaves and return to China, and asked Wu Zixu to find a way to extract slaves from the hands of Ji Kuo and Wu Yue.
Lu Di also thought about improving the two-ox ploughing method and making it a one-ox ploughing method, but asked him to provide some suggestions to fight the mouth, but how to improve it, he just had more than enough heart and not enough strength, and the public loss class, Mo Zhai and others were all busy building the school palace and museum in the past and couldn't get out, so they kept delaying.
However, the news sent by Gao Chai is still good, and seven to eighty percent of the country's public land has been cultivated.
The so-called public land is the land under the name of the monarch, that is, Lu Di's private land, as for the extent of the cultivation of other doctors' private fields, Gao Chai cannot be counted, because this matter is in the hands of the Prime Minister's Office.
Lu Di also let Wu Zixu read the piece handed over by Gao Chai, and Wu Zixu was overjoyed after reading it, you must know that Lu Di now has a lot of public fields under his name.
Some of these public fields were inherited from the ancestor Qi Jinggong, some were inherited from Yangsheng, and some were inherited from other slain brothers or people from other clans, but most of them were obtained by exterminating the Tian clan and the rest of the sins.
With one more piece, about two-thirds of the land in Qi is Lu Di's private land.
Seventy or eighty percent of the cultivation completed by these two-thirds means that as long as it is not a catastrophic year in the coming year, there will be no great famine in the Qi country.
What's more, now that most of the nearly 300,000 troops of the Qi State are about to be disarmed and returned to the fields, these people will either return to their own land, or return to the door of their own masters, even if they can't catch up with the agricultural time, then they can do other things to make up for the heavy losses of missing the agricultural time.
Lu Di was very happy to get the three good news one day, and left Wu Zixu, Gao Chai and the Dongmen Wuze who was accompanying Lu Qu to make trouble, and had a light meal together.
During the meal, Lu Di asked about the latest news from various countries.
Wu Zixu told everyone the latest news from various countries.
The battle between Yan and Zhongshan was dark and tragic, and the two countries soon fell into a stalemate.
At this time, the Endless Kingdom and the Lonely Bamboo Kingdom in the north of the Yan Kingdom saw that the opportunity for the empty secret path in the Yan Kingdom had come, so they jointly poured troops south.
Yan Qianjian Gong, the monarch of Yan State, was so angry that he almost vomited blood on the spot when he heard the news, and hurriedly asked the army that was still fighting against Zhongshan to immediately stop fighting and go north.
Where is Zhongshan willing to be, in the end, Yan Guo stole chickens and rice, cut the land and two cities, and admitted that the land of the Fat Country and the Drum Country belonged to Zhongshan, so it was just that.
What about the Jin Kingdom?
The Jin Kingdom has encountered a big event!
The elite forces of the six secretaries of the Jin state marched eastward to fight against the Qi state, resulting in an empty rear, and the Bai Di chieftain Bai Long Leg persuaded the nine enemies (Jiuyou, Qiu Wu, Qiu Xuan, Qiu Chief, Qiu Shou, and Shu Xuan...... Jiuli Jiurong and other departments, together to resist the tyranny of the Jin State, on behalf of the country Lou Fu Yiqu and other countries learned of the great joy, the covenant, jointly attacked the Jin State, a total of no less than 300,000 soldiers, its mighty momentum, the Jin State was shaken.
According to common sense, the six Qings should unite to form a heavy fist to defeat the invaders, but the failure of the third battle of the Qi Dynasty has caused the irreconcilable contradictions of the Liuqing to break out again, and Wei Shu was forced by the pressure of the Han clan and the Zhao clan to severely punish the Zhongxing clan and the Zhi clan.
The Zhi clan of the Zhongxing clan held a grudge, and on the way back from the main army of the Jin Kingdom, Wei Shu was assassinated and killed by the Zhongxing clan and the Zhi clan when he was hunting, and this time the Wei clan drew his sword on the spot to destroy the two clans to take revenge.
However, the Zhi clan and the Zhongxing clan did not admit that they sent someone to kill them, saying that it was Di Rong's conspiracy.
Wei Lu, the son of Wei Shu, the new head of the Wei family, turned to the Han Zhao family for help, and as a result, the two families refused to avenge Wei Shu on the grounds that there was no evidence for the enemy.
Wei Hao was furious and desperate to take revenge, but his father's right-hand man Wang Zuo repeatedly advised Wang Xu, Wei Hao gritted his teeth and endured it, and returned to his fiefdom with the army without saying a word on the second day.
The Zhi clan and the Zhongxing clan didn't dare to say anything when they saw that Wei Yu didn't give up, but the Fan clan scolded arrogantly, saying that they wanted to repay the monarch, deprive him of his fiefdom, and reward the other five clans.
Now that the Wei clan has run away, they take turns to sit in the village of the Zhao clan, and the Zhao clan wants the Fan clan, the Zhi clan, the Han clan, and the Zhongxing clan to jointly resist the attack from Rong Di on the western border, but the four clans refused on the grounds that there was also a rebellion in their fiefdom.
The Zhao clan was dumbfounded when they saw this, because most of the Zhao clan's fiefs were on the periphery of the Jin Kingdom, which meant that the place where Di Rong's more than 300,000 troops attacked first was his Zhao fiefdom.
Wei Wei also heard that the Fan clan scolded him, and he was angry overnight and first annexed the Fan clan land closest to him, and then attacked the nearby Zhongxing clan and the Zhi clan and the Zhao clan again, and for a while, the Wei clan's territory grew to a rival with the Wei country.
The Zhongxing clan, the Zhi clan, and the Fan clan fought against the Wei clan, and they were mad with anger, ignoring the overall situation of the Jin Kingdom, and ate the land of the last Jin princes, and the monarch of the Jin State became a complete "light pole commander".
However, the three clans did this, which angered the Han clan with the least fief on the spot, and the Han clan led the troops to take advantage of the power of the three clans to launch an attack, eating up the land of the Zhongxing clan Fan clan and the Zhi clan near its fief, and its territory expanded like Zheng Guo.
The main force of the Zhao clan is now resisting Rong Di's army of more than 300,000 people, and for the part of his own land swallowed by the Wei clan, as well as the land of the Zhi clan Zhongxing clan and the Fan clan swallowed by the Han clan, he can only suffer dumb losses, and he is jealous and jealous and gritted his teeth to admit the actions of the Han clan and the Wei clan in exchange for the support of the Han clan and the Wei clan.
In short, the Jin Kingdom is chaotic, like piranhas that bite each other.
The Qin State, although not as vigorous as the Qi State, the Jin State, the Chu State, the Yan State and other countries, is not far behind.
Qin Aigong Zhao moved the capital to Jingyang, and learned from Qi to build a capital battalion: Zihu was ordered to be the captain of the Jingyang battalion, and Zipu was the lieutenant of the Lantian battalion, forming a large combat corps.
