Chapter 612: Time Flies (2)

In fact, there is no need for Lu Zhe and them to be in a hurry, the countries and the Qin State have long been in an endless situation, and the countries have not perished or the Qin State has not perished, and they will continue to fight.

Lu Zhe's side, who was concerned about the chaos, did not hurry for long, and the imaginary matter of cutting off orders because of the end of the war in Chen County did not happen, and after that, not only the Qin State, but also Qi, Yan, and Zhao successively sent envoys to discuss further trade.

The goods that I thought were going to rot in the treasury had another object to buy, although it was only a year's war money, but on the premise of sufficient profits, as soon as I learned that not only did the Qin Kingdom continue to buy goods, but the countries also issued a larger number of orders, this time it was completely jubilant.

Things are not so simple, in the past, the parties were at war in Chenjun, and by strict definition, Chenjun belonged to Wei and Han, so the transportation of troops sent by Lu Zhe was naturally not considered to enter the territory of the warring parties, but the countries are no longer at war in Chenjun, and they can't still let Lu Zhe's army enter the territory of each country in a structured manner.

The envoys from all sides who came to Nanling all proposed similar ......

For example, the Qin State thinks that Yangxia in the north of Chen County is a good place, where the scenery is beautiful and the rivers and mountains are picturesque, and it is a good place where the mountains and rivers are beautiful and the people are more beautiful, and it is great to be able to make it a trading place.

The envoy sent by the king of Qi also said on behalf of the kings of the three kingdoms of Qi, Yan and Zhao that Xiang County in Surabaya County was a place with incomparably superior customs and customs, so the place of future transactions should be set there.

If you have a map, you can spread it out and take a look, Yangxia in the north of Chen County is very close to Dang County and Sanchuan County in Qin Guokong zhì, and Xiang County in Surabaya County is twenty or thirty miles away from Surabaya in Qi Guokong zhì.

The areas chosen by both parties have several things in common, one is that they are close to their control area, the second is that the chosen places are not owned by the transaction or the buyer, and the third is that these places are flat and open enough.

It is very easy to understand that the choice is close to the area controlled by himself, it is nothing more than a matter of transportation costs, and the Qin State chose Yangxia because the headquarters of the Central Plains Army are probably in Sanchuan County and Dang County. After receiving the goods, they can transport them to the garrisons in a small amount of time, and at the same time, they can quickly store them for future defensive or offensive battles; The Qi State side also had the same distance and storage reasons, but Lu Zhe could see from here that Qi Yanzhao would attack Qin from the direction of Dangjun next.

Chen County or Surabaya County certainly did not belong to Lü Zhe or Qin, Qi, Yan, or Zhao, and that was the territory of Wei Han, at least nominally.

The flatness and openness of the terrain had a very special purpose, to put it bluntly, they were all worried that their troops would be attacked when they were going to transport, and this attack could come from the enemy country or from Lu Zhe......

If trade can continue, then the development of people's livelihood will not have to worry about it for the time being. And this time Qin, Qi, Yan, and Zhao seem to have discovered the secret of the "trade deficit", and strongly insist that the merchants on the Han side can go to their territory to take a look, and it would be great if they could buy a large number of goods.

That's right, the war is too money-burning, a large number of precious metals are lost in trade, Qin, Qi, Yan, Zhao will inevitably produce a phenomenon of rapid loss of precious metals, so there is no accident that there is a vacancy in precious metals, there may be precious metals when they continue to produce, but how long can they last? Furthermore. Don't forget that at this time, copper was not only used as currency, but also as a necessary metal for weapons, armor, and agricultural tools.

Qin, Qi, Yan, and Zhao must have found that they couldn't even make farm tools, so they desperately hoped that precious metals could be repatriated in the form of trading, and this was exactly what Lu Zhe had wanted to obtain for a long time.

Lu Zhe had long been looking forward to being able to peek at the mountains and rivers of Qin, Qi, Yan, and Zhao in an open and honest manner. Isn't it a kind of unscrupulous espionage to do business in the form of a businessman who is protected? And the most important thing is that once something happens to Shang Jia, the Han side can openly ask all parties to give an explanation. In this way, there will definitely be no shortage of excuses to send troops north in the future.

Continue to develop people's livelihood, sit back and watch others fight to death, and once you are weak enough to a certain extent, you can pick peaches lightly. Lu Zhe suddenly found that such a life was simply ...... It's so boring!

There is a reason for saying that it is boring, Xiao He and a cadre of civil officials have done a good job in civil affairs, and the army is preparing in that direction because of their respective tasks, as long as Lu Zhe, who is already a king, does not need to move too much as long as there is no chaos, at most he will go to the court and occasionally go to the military camps of all parties to inspect it.

Therefore, recently, Lu Zhe has often been in a state of idleness, so he can only walk between the gardens with a group of his own women when he is bored, holding children and teasing children to pass the time.

Many kings will be afraid of loneliness, and when they have nothing to do, they will make a little bit of a difference, that is because the king is afraid that he will gradually lose his power without a sense of zài, and he tosses and tosses that many kings have lost their social power, but Lu Zhe has no need for that at all, in fact, there is no need for each generation of founding kings to toss blindly, because the power was originally created by them, even if they are not very in charge, power is not so easy to ignore. It's about a kind of psychological expertise, and it's hard to explain it in a few words.

Speaking of children, Lu Zhe has much more leisure time than when he often has to fight in the north and south, after marrying Zhao Xin, Xiongnu, and Ying Yangzi in a row, Wei, Han, Qi, and Yan have also "stuffed" several princesses, and these princesses are also pregnant one after another, you can imagine how much time Lu Zhe has to "create people".

It may seem grotesque to say, but with the fact that there are many heirs in Lu Zhe, the newly established Han Kingdom is not very stable. Lu Zhe understands this kind of grotesqueness, and the fact that he has many heirs means that the clan has a wide bloodline, so waiting for this group of children to grow up will definitely enhance the strength of the clan, and people think that the inheritance of the clan is expected to naturally perform their own duties.

Qin, Qi, Yan, Zhao, Wei, and Han all have princesses who have become Lu Zhe's women, what a miraculous thing, but such a thing really happened, what Lu Zhe thinks, no one knows, but the officials of the Han State are often proud of this, thinking that the marriage of the princess proves the strength of the new Han State.

Of course, it is not without reason that they think that they are strong, the most representative of which is that their king did not let the princess of any country become a princess, and chose Zhao Wan.

According to the rules of diplomatic relations at this time, the canonization of the princess is to send people to know the countries, and the intention is naturally to let the countries come to congratulate, but it is not an act of weakness.

Lu Zheli Zhao Gao's daughter is the princess, not the princess of any country, all countries are consistent in this regard, this is also one of the reasons why the Han State thinks it is strong, after all, the daughter of the courtier is above the head of the princess It looks like an insult, but the countries don't even dare to put a fart, not only sent envoys to congratulate but also sent generous gifts, doesn't this prove that all countries are afraid of the Han State?

Appropriate pride can improve the self-confidence of the people, Lu Zhe understands very well what the reason for countries not to make noise is, it is nothing more than because it is the most appropriate result not to have the princess of a certain country as the princess, if it is not Zhao Wan but the princess of a certain country who becomes the princess, they will make trouble.

It's not all about sitting and watching others fight to the death, the Han side has actually been continuing to use troops against the south.

Since the first dispatch of troops, Lu Zhe's use of troops against the south can even be counted as Yiling, but the difficulty of dealing with Baiyue has become stronger and stronger with their industrial development, and the difficulty of fighting with Baiyue has also decreased.

Under the continuous blows, Baiyue successively lost a large amount of territory, and by the time Sima Xin led the army to invade Lingnan, Baiyue had even begun to move his tribe further southwest on a large scale.

After Luo Yao accepted the command of the Southern Expeditionary Army, it took him about seven months to occupy the entire territory of Guilin, during which he sent several troops to spy on the movements of various parties in Lingnan, and at the same time to survey the routes available for marching on the spot.

Zhou Wen proposed that under the concept that the Lingnan water system is numerous and miscellaneous, the convenience of military operations in Lingnan has not increased a little, and the Southern Expeditionary Corps under Luo Shao does not need to wait for the opening of roads before launching military operations.

Before the complete occupation of Guilin, the number of boats built by Luo Shao had accumulated sufficiently, and the migration of the various ethnic groups in Lingnan to the more southwestern region meant that there would never be any decent resistance within Lingnan, and the occupation of Lingnan would naturally be easily completed in the following year.

The complete occupation of Lingnan was really too simple for the Han army to make full use of the water system, and it was difficult to form an effective rule and use after completing the occupation.

There are many things that need to be done to form an effective rule, and the first step Luo Shao chooses is to send people to the tribes that have not migrated, and ask these tribes to sacrifice enough young men and women to move the tribes to the designated location according to the requirements of the Han state. If the tribes that received the notice did so, they would have done so, and once they resisted a little, they would have faced a large number of Han troops with iron and fire, and a targeted massacre would have begun.

The second thing Luo Shao did was to write to the center, requesting immigration to various parts of Lingnan, and strongly requesting that engineering troops be sent to build roads and cities.

The last thing is that Luo Shao dispatched enough scouts to spy on the southwest position, and first found out the terrain in the direction of the southwest, and also wanted to know what other opponents were on his journey.

Need to tell the truth without going against his will, Lu Zhe was surprised when he received the report from Luo Shao, of course he was not surprised that the Southern Expeditionary Army occupied Lingnan so quickly, he was surprised that Luo Shao asked for immigration and road construction and built cities, and also wondered if his possession of the land further southwest was too obvious, so that Luo Shao actually began to spy on the situation there after occupying Lingnan......
