Chapter 229: Planning (II)

After a heavy rain, the heat is greatly reduced, but the mountains, forests and fields, also after washing, more verdant, the crops in the field have grown up, still green and tender ears of grain, but also pressed the rice slightly bent, from a distance, like a piece of green carpet. At this time, there are still about two months before the autumn harvest, and judging from the current growth of crops, as long as there are no major changes in these two months, this year is expected to usher in a bumper harvest.

However, because of a heavy rain yesterday, the fields were well watered, so there was no need to rush to water, and there were not many people working in the fields at this time, so the fields seemed very quiet, except for the occasional birds flying and chirping in the sky, and the sound of running water in the ditches. At this moment, only a few loud birdsongs were heard in the air, and two kestrel flapped their wings and flew over the field, and the birds and finches were in a panic, and they flew in all directions to dodge, and in a blink of an eye, only these two kestrels, and no other birds were left in this sky.

And on the road in the field, three carts galloped over, accompanied by about two dozen knights, and the sound of horses' hooves and the rolling of wheels also broke the silence in the field.

In fact, Gao Yuan didn't want to take the car, but because he had to accompany the prince Dan and Jing Ke, he had to abandon the horse and ride.

At this time, Prince Dan and his entourage had been in Dai County for six or seven days, during this time, in addition to plotting to assassinate Qin Wangzheng, Gao Yuan also accompanied Tai Xiao Dan and Jing Ke to travel in the countryside around Dai County to watch the customs and customs of Dai County. And explain to Tai Yudan how he implemented the new decree in the Daijun area, and suppressed the powerful forces.

And everywhere they went, Prince Dan and Jing Ke saw a peaceful and peaceful scene, men farming and women weaving, living and working in peace and contentment, and in addition to being busy with farming, the young and middle-aged men and women in the villages were also under the unified organization of the government, practicing martial arts diligently, practicing formations, and the entire Dai County showed a vibrant atmosphere. It seems that the new decree implemented by the plateau is also beginning to bear fruit.

Gao Yuan also made a special trip to bring Tai Xiao Dan and Jing Dan to the settlement place of the people who migrated from Yan State, although these people came to Dai County for less than three months, but at this time they also settled down, settled down in Dai County to farm, and like other local people, they worked in agriculture when they were busy, and collectively practiced martial arts and drills when they were not in the slack, without the slightest idea of returning to Yan State.

Although Tai Xiaodan has not been to Daijun before, he also knows that Daijun was not a developed area in the Zhao Kingdom in the past, and the plateau has not been in charge of Daijun for a long time, less than a year, but he can govern Daijun into such a vibrant, prosperous scene, and he also admires the plateau even more, it seems that the plateau is not only good at using troops, but also not inferior to the governance of the country.

Everyone walked around the ridge and rested on the threshing field in the field, and Prince Dan said: "Wu Anjun, I have been a hostage in Qin for about ten years, but I look at the situation of Daijun, compared with Qin, it is not much worse, Wu Anjun can make such changes in Daijun in less than a year, it can really be described as a material for governing the country." ”

Gao Yuan smiled faintly and said: "It's too much of a prize, in fact, it is easy to govern the country, as long as you do light taxes, less forced labor, clean officials, and disturb the people in a hurry, it will not be difficult to make the country governed." In fact, the same is true of the law that changes among the nations. ”

Prince Dan sighed and said: "The road is simple, easy to know and difficult to do, although Wu Anjun said it is simple, but if you want to do it well, it is not easy." Jing Ke, on the other hand, changed the image of a high-minded celebrity in the past, looking at the endless and vibrant fields, and was indifferent.

Gao Yuan looked at the other people, they were all more than ten steps away, and he couldn't hear them talking, and said: "A few days ago, I asked the prince what to do after the assassination of King Qin, I don't know what the prince thinks." ”

Tai Xiaodan smiled bitterly and did not answer.

Gao Yuan said: "Among the nations, the most famous assassination in the world is the assassination of the king, and it is necessary to leave the assassination of Qingji and Nie Zheng's assassination, but the only thing that has really changed the general trend of the world is this time. Later, Wu defeated Chu and dominated the world, changing the pattern of Chu and Jin competing for hegemony at that time, and then Chu was weakened, and Jin was controlled by Liuqing, and then was divided by three families, and both were lost, which also completely changed the general trend of the world at that time. And to get rid of the assassin Qingji and Nie Zheng's assassin, they can't be compared with the Zhuan Zhu Assassin Wang Bureaucracy, it can be said that if there is no Zhuanzhu, there will be no strength of the later Wu State, but may I ask the prince, who was the most famous minister of Wu at that time? ”

Tai Xiao Dan was silent for a long time before he said, "It's Sun Wu and Wu Zixu." ”

Gao Yuan said: "Why not Zhuzhu? ”

Tai Xiao Dan is very familiar with the history of the calendar, of course understand the meaning of the plateau, although Wu hegemony, changed the general trend of the world at that time, but the monopoly of the assassin is only a cause, the role is only to put Gongzi Guang on the throne, that is, Wu Wang Lu, and later reuse Sun Wu, Wu Zixu, make great efforts, strengthen the army and enrich the country, is to let Wu defeat Chu State, dominate the world Guan Jianzai. And Gao Yuan said this allusion, in fact, he was advising Prince Dan, don't think that Jing Ke assassinated the King of Qin, everything would be fine, if Yan Guo himself did not seek to be strong, sooner or later he would not be able to escape the fate of extinction.

At this time, Jing Ke said on the side: "Prince, what Wu Anjun said is good, if Yan Guo is not self-reliant, whether he succeeds in killing King Qin or not, it will be difficult to preserve, and South Korea's plan to enter Zheng Guo to exhaust Qin is an example in front of him, so please make a decision and don't make mistakes." ”

South Korea's plan to enter Zheng Guo Shi to exhaust Qin, although it has nothing to do with assassination, is indeed another example. In the first year of the reign of King Qin (246 B.C.), King Han Huan Hui came up with a plan to exhaust Qin, sent the famous hydraulic engineer Zheng Guo to Qin State, and established a canal to build a canal to LΓΌ Buwei, who was in charge of Qin State at that time, and built a large irrigation canal between Jingshui and Luoshui, with a total length of nearly 600 li.

After Qin Wangzheng became in power, he also noticed Korea's tired Qin plan, and Zheng Guo said frankly to Qin Wangzheng: "The first minister of Korea is the middle, and then it will become the benefit of Qin." The minister extended the life of Korea for several years, and built the eternal merit for the Qin State. ”

After Qin Wangzheng listened, he also listened to his words, let Zheng continue to complete the project of digging the canal, to the fourteenth year of Qin Wangzheng (233 BC), the canal was roughly opened, and from then on, the land of Guanzhong was evenly fertile, drought and flood were harvested, and there was almost no disaster year, which also made Qin more rich and powerful, so Qin Wangzheng named Zheng Yuqu. Later, the Qin State launched a war to unify the world for ten consecutive years, and after the destruction of the Six Kingdoms, it continued to attack the Xiongnu in the north, conquer the Yue in the south, etc., Zheng Guoqu also played a big role in ensuring these military actions of the Qin State.

Of course, judging from the effect of Korea's strategy of exhausting Qin, it took Qin more than ten years to dig the Zhengguo Canal, which did consume a lot of manpower and material resources of Qin, so that Qin did not destroy Korea until the seventeenth year of Qin Wangzheng (230 BC), which is equivalent to extending the time of Korea for almost seventeen years, and it can be regarded as achieving the original goal.

It's just that South Korea didn't take advantage of this difficult seventeen years, except for holding back Xingli, enriching the country and strengthening the army, it was still chaotic after these seventeen years, it can be said that it missed the last opportunity to save South Korea, so after Zheng Guoqu was completed, it was said that South Korea would be destroyed.

And now Prince Dan's plan to assassinate Qin is very similar to the strategy used by South Korea to open up Qin, but it is difficult to say whether the assassination of Qin can succeed, but if Yan Guo is also like Han Yu, he is still in a daze, even if the assassination of Qin Wangzheng is successful, it still can't save Yan Guo. Not to mention that after the Qin State ends the chaos and stabilizes again, the first one will take the Yan State as a knife, and the other countries will not let the Yan State go lightly.

Because there were already constant wars between the nations, if there was no threat from the Qin State, the entire Central Plains region would probably start a new round of fighting. Not only Yan Kingdom, but even Dai County will also be involved. And in a short period of time, the only one who can form an alliance with Daijun is the Yan State, so Gao Yuan has repeatedly advised Tai Xiaodan that he cannot put all his hopes on Jing Ke to assassinate the King of Qin, but must make the Yan State rich and strong again, and also hope to let the prince Dan control the power of the Yan State.

Of course, Tai Xiao Dan also knew that what Gao Yuan said was the right opinion, in fact, since Gao Yuan left Yan Kingdom, in addition to plotting with Jing Ke to assassinate Qin, Tai Xiao Dan has also been thinking about how to implement law changes in Yan Country to strengthen the country, but he has never been able to find a perfect solution. And in the past few days in Dai County, he has also seen the effect of Gao Yuan after the implementation of the new decree in Dai County, which also gave Tai Xiao Dan a lot of touch, because he knew that in the process of implementing the new decree, he also severely suppressed the powerful forces, and also made Prince Dan finally realize that there is no perfect strategy at all, and it is completely impossible to get those clan clans to support their own idea of changing the law and strengthening the country.

So Prince Dan also gave a salute to Gao Yuan, and said: "Wu Anjun's teachings, Ji Dan knows everything, after returning to China this time, Ji Dan will definitely persuade his father to prosper in Yan Guo to get rid of suffocation and change the law." He saluted Jing Ke again and said, "I will never disappoint Jing Qing's hopes." ”

Gao Yuan also returned the salute and said, "Tai Xiao can really be like this, it is really a blessing for Yan Kingdom." ”

Jing Ke also said: "Jing Ke will be able to assassinate Qin Wangzheng without paying the prince's expectations." ”

The next day, Prince Dan bid farewell to Gao Yuan, got up and returned to Yan Kingdom, and the caravan prepared by Daijun also set off with Tai Xiao Dan, carrying goods in addition to paper, as well as a large number of furs, bronze utensils and other items. And also sent an envoy to visit Yan with Tai Xiaodan, and brought a hundred pieces of paper as a gift to Yan Wangxi.
