Chapter 530: The Troika, in full bloom
Lu Di thought of the assassination of the young son of King Yue, who said to him respectfully, "the greatest duty in the world", and he couldn't help but feel sad.
Such a "wise man" was wiped out by ruthless politics like this?!
After being sad, he felt extremely disgusted and disgusted with Wu Yue, who was prevalent in the way of assassination.
Assassination?
Assassination is just a lowly and cowardly resistance, so what kind of ability is that?
If you are a manly husband, you should be upright!
Emotion to emotion, anger to anger, Lu Di also learned a lesson from this incident: strengthen the defense of himself and his family.
Just when the people inside the house and the people outside the house were chattering crookedly at the same time, suddenly the dog barked loudly, and a military vehicle hurried towards Lu Di.
Lu Di turned his head when he heard the sound and saw that it was Wu Zixu, so he said sorry to Xiao Jiumei and started to walk towards Wu Zixu.
Wu Zixu saw that Lu Di was not defeated because of Qi Jinggong's death, and he was extremely happy in his heart.
Because he was too afraid of Lu Di's amorous temperament.
"Your Majesty" Wu Zixu saw Lu Di personally come over to greet him, and hurriedly got out of the car to salute.
To say that horse-drawn carriages have long been popular in Qi State, but most doctors still follow the old habit of riding in cars, such as Wu Zixu, he likes to ride in military chariots.
Lu Di didn't say anything about this, everyone has their own choice.
"Xiangguo, please hurry up" Lu Di helped Wu Zixu up, and then said: "Xiangguo is in a hurry?" β
Lu Di didn't believe that the busy man Wu Zixu had time to look for him.
Wu Zixu smiled and said: "Your Majesty, things are indeed urgent, but they are all good things."
"Oh?" Lu Di wondered, is it good to be in a hurry?
Wu Zixu said: "Your Majesty, the edict of the Son of Heaven has come, and he has officially canonized the Emperor as the monarch of Qi State."
After that, Wu Zixu took out a piece of cloth silk from his arms.
Lu Di hurriedly took it and opened it to take a closer look, and then laughed and said: "This son of heaven Ji Kuo is really crazy about money!" β
When he learned that Lu Di had defeated Chen Heng's rebellion, he remembered the money and grain of the Black Qi State back then, so he added another item in the edict, if Lu Di could offer more money to himself, then he would issue an edict to reprimand the Jin and Chu States that were fighting against the Qi State, and let them withdraw their troops and return to the country.
Wu Zixu also smiled: "Then do we give money to the Son of Heaven?" β
Lu Di took the edict and walked back and forth in front of Wu Zixu twice, and finally said in a deep voice: "Give it, why don't you give it?" β
"Although the widow said that money and food cannot buy peace"
"But today, what the widow wants to say is that money and food can buy justice!"
Lu Di's tone changed from sonorous to soft: "Although our self-defense war is just, but after all, the Son of Heaven did not express his position, so it is a confused account to the outside world, no matter how you say it." β
Wu Zixu frowned when he heard this, although the Qi State was very rich, but after the Chen Heng Rebellion, the national treasury was already stretched thin, not to mention that the current 200,000 troops were still fighting with the Jin State and the Chu State, and the daily consumption was an astronomical amount.
Lu Di seemed to see Wu Zixu's thoughts, and laughed and said: "Xiangguo, don't worry, the widow is talking about giving money, not giving food and silk."
Wu Zixu was stunned when he heard this: "Give money, but don't give food and silk?" β
Lu Di nodded and explained: "The widow asked Mo Ye and his wife to take the smelter to a big mountain in the territory of Qi Country a month ago, and there is a gold mine in that big mountain."
Wu Zixu immediately glared at the boss when he heard the word gold mine, and all the previous doubts were forgotten, and instead of his whole body, he trembled.
"Your Majesty, are you sure it's a gold mine?" Wu Zixu's voice trembled a little, and his brain was a little dizzy.
If there is a gold mine in the Qi State, it will undoubtedly be a thunderbolt in the world this week.
Now no one in the world knows that Zhou Tianxia is "poor gold", Chu is rich, not to mention Qi, if it is not for the support of fishing and salt industry, Qi will be poor.
But Lu Di said that there is a gold mine in the territory of Qi State, and it is a gold mine, a gold mine, remember that it is not a red gold mine, oh my God!
Lu Di nodded very affirmatively and proudly, he has been "archaeology" in Shandong for many years in his later life, and others don't care about the distribution of mineral resources, but he cares very much.
Shandong, that is the first place in the gold mine list of all provinces in the country!
Not to mention the distance, there are several large gold mines near Linzi.
The reason why Qi has not been explored for many years is mainly because mining in this era is mainly surface ores, like Chu, it is only rich and powerful because it has surface mineral deposits, gold ore and red gold ore.
However, the mineral deposits in ancient Shandong are mainly underground mines, and with the current level of technology, the Qi people do not know that there is huge wealth in the land where they live.
In this era, all metal deposits were called gold mines, for example, bad gold ore refers to iron ore, platinum ore refers to silver ore, and red gold ore refers to copper ore.
"Good!" Wu Zixu slapped his palms, and now he finally understood why his own monarch wanted him to expand the money-making workshop, it turned out that everything was under the control of his own monarch.
However, Lu Di's next sentence made Wu Zixu frown again, and Lu Di said: "It's not easy to want our money, let him exchange it for slaves."
"This?" Wu Zixu didn't know why.
Lu Di didn't answer directly but asked: "Now the Pingbei Army, the Pingnan Army, and the Heping Western Army, how is the battle situation?" β
The reason why LΓΌ Di did not mention the Pingdong Army was because the Pingdong general Hua Zhou and his two battalions had pacified Donglai ten days earlier, and now the army had been ordered to move north to help Sun Wu's Pingbei Army.
When Wu Zixu heard this, he began to tell the latest news.
The Pingbei Army and the Jin Army are still fighting for each other up and down the river; The Pingnan army was still confronting the Chu army, and the two sides walked around the border twice, scolded each other, and then returned to the camp; The Pingxi army almost fought for Lu Guo, but then Lu Guo took the initiative to retreat.
Lu Di nodded when she heard this, and she was very happy in her heart.
The strategy he planned to return to China to govern during his initial recuperation has basically been realized.
The first is to "clean up the house and then build a leadership team": now the Tian clan forces within the Qi State have almost been cleaned up both locally and centrally, and the prime minister's team controlled by himself and the local city commanders and county guards have also begun to take office.
The second is "stabilize four fingers and hit one finger with a heavy fist": Chu Guo stabilized, Lu Guo stabilized, Wu Guo also stabilized, Yan Guo Beiqi did not make a move with Zhongshan Guo, and now only finger Jin Guo remains.
Finally, there is the "troika, full flowering": this strategy is slowly piling up and planning, and judging from the current situation, it is not bad.
