Age of mythical princes

Chapter 358 I am a barbarian!What, are you a barbarian too?
After learning the three routes of the Holy Path from Mo Sheng, Jiang Hua felt more relieved: he was already on the right path.

If Jiang Hua, the lord, doesn't panic, many high-level officials in Yancheng have already reached a consensus. If they don't panic, then the entire Yancheng will not be in chaos. This is also one of the advantages of the centralized system. As long as the top is united, no matter what the bottom thinks, No matter how many thoughts the bottom has, they can be firmly suppressed.

Therefore, although many local young people in Yancheng who were born after the first year of Baijia have many ideas, some feel that it is time for Yancheng to show its talents to the world. To put it mildly, they feel that it is time for Yancheng to take on more responsibilities. We are farming here day by day. When will we realize the great cause of unification?
But young people are just young people after all. Although they are energetic, they are not the ones making decisions.

Jiang Hua visited various places for three days in a row, working hard to farm, and sometimes even went to farm with the students from the Intermediate Academy. Gradually, the young people's dissatisfaction disappeared.

With internal unity, envoys from other countries are of little use no matter how hard they try.

The envoys from other countries were not too surprised by this scene, because this kind of thing is just a matter of hitting the target with dates and without dates. It is better to gain something, but it is expected that there is no harvest.

……

In Chu State, another meeting began, this time a high-level meeting before the decisive battle.

This time, not only many powerful men from the Chu State, but also Shang Yang from the Qin State came over in person.

"Gentlemen, it has been more than 20 years since the capital of Ying was defeated. Now, the entire capital of Ying and more than 800 counties in the south have been evacuated by the Wu State. Even if the Wu army is defeated afterwards, these losses will take hundreds of years or even It takes longer to recover.”

Hearing this, the senior leaders of the Chu State below became furious!

"Yes, my fiefdom was originally in Nanyang. Nanyang's iron mines are famous all over the world. There are a lot of spiritual iron there. It used to be such a prosperous place, but now there is nothing left!"

"I once secretly visited my hometown during a break from the war. All the iron ore there was dug away, including the ground veins."

"Today, Nanyang's Feng Shui has been completely destroyed, and all the underground dragon veins that could be moved away have been moved away. The entire mineral vein has also been dug away along with the land."

"There are more than 60 counties in Nanyang County, and more than 50 counties have mineral resources. These more than 50 counties were auctioned to different targets. Although they were all masked, although they concealed the secret on the surface, but I know, they are..."

This impassioned old man was interrupted before he finished speaking.

"Okay, who they are has little to do with us. The most important thing now is not to find out who they are, but how to conquer the Wu Kingdom!"

"We really need to conquer the Kingdom of Wu. My hometown was originally famous for its many water veins. There are lakes of various sizes there. Many of the lakes are filled with water eyes. But when I went back to look, I found that the water eyes were gone. The spiritual springs have all dried up, leaving only ordinary water, ordinary lakes, and all kinds of natural resources and treasures gone."

"The same goes for me. My hometown is close to the mountains. There used to be many groups of monsters in the mountains. Those groups of monsters didn't hurt people, and some even reached cooperative relationships with the family."

"But once the Wu people came over, not to mention the earth veins, water eyes, natural materials and earthly treasures, now even the mountains are gone!"

"The state of Wu is a group of bandits. I heard that the mountains were sold to Yancheng using the method of moving mountains, and now they are used by Yancheng to fill the sea. Even the monsters in the mountains were sold by the state of Wu in one go. Especially the mountains The iron-eating beast in it is said to be particularly popular in Yancheng, and everyone likes it from top to bottom. But, I also like it!"

"Now they are all gone, not a single one is left!"

Hey

Suddenly, the meeting place was filled with sighs and sighs, and many people were denouncing that Wu Guo was not a thing.

Although Chu State is vast, it only has five to six thousand counties. Most of these areas are undeveloped, and there are also a large number of monsters and monsters gathered in them.This has always been the pride of Chu State.

Even if the Jin State brought the Central Plains Allied Forces to the Chu State, the Chu State would only need to strengthen its walls and clear the country, lure the enemy deep into the country, and engage in defensive warfare.

As time went by, Jin could no longer bear it.

In the end, he could only retreat obediently.

But now, this method doesn't work anymore.

The bandits of Wu State did not even spare the veins under the ground, the water eyes in the water, and even the monsters in the mountains.

By the way, they didn’t even spare the mountains!

The world only knows that Yancheng has been very successful in reclamation and land reclamation in the past 20 years, creating at least [-] counties in one go. But who knew that underneath these [-] counties are all the mountains and ground of Chu State?

The State of Wu is not a thing, everyone can scold them at will, and the Marquis of Chu does not stop him.

But Yancheng is not a thing, and few of the big guys curse.

You have to ask why, because Yancheng has been Chu's largest export partner for the past 20 years.Since Wang Jujun's reform, the state of Chu has changed from the past state of antagonism and internal strife between the central and local governments, to a state of unity among the nobles of the entire Chu state.The Chu lords no longer centralized power like the Chu lords did in the past, but the Chu lords began to centralize the aristocratic power.

The highest power of the Chu State also changed from the Marquis of Chu to the Assembly of Nobles.

Regardless of whether they are satisfied or dissatisfied with the outcome discussed by the noble assembly, all nobles must abide by it.

After this consensus was reached, the power of the Marquis of Chu was reduced, but the national power of the Chu State was greatly strengthened.

Especially after the feudal lords of Chu State began to do business with Yancheng, in just over 20 years, Chu State experienced the development speed of Yue State, and its annual income could increase by at least half of the previous year's level for two consecutive years. 30 years……

Now everyone in the Chu State has made a lot of money from the business with Yancheng, and everyone has made a fortune.

Nowadays, many people look back on the past and wonder what those days were like in the past.

Isn’t it troublesome enough for a dignified prince to calculate and calculate every day for such small money as hundreds of millions or billions?

Where is it like now?
If a county is fully developed, there will be tens of millions of acres of land. After contracting it to Yancheng businessmen, the Yancheng businessmen will contract everything and be responsible for all work from farming to harvesting, but the final income will be [-]/[-] for everyone.

now.The yield of land in Chu State has reached [-] dan per mu, and if it is [-]-[-] dan, there is still [-] dan, and one stone of grain starts at [-] qian.Tens of millions of acres of land, converted into money, would be billions of dollars.

This is still the annual income of a county. Which prince does not have three, five, or even ten or eight counties?

With money, there is everything!
Such a good life depends entirely on Yancheng.

Even more, let alone Wu State selling various mountains, if the conditions are not suitable, you can see if the nobles of Chu State can sell them!
"Hmph, speaking of which, I am not a noble from the East like you, and the State of Wu did not rob me of my fiefdom. Logically speaking, I should not be as feuding with the State of Wu as you are, but on the contrary, I also have a relationship with the State of Wu. Immortal hatred!"

"Now, the Yangtze River in the east is controlled by the Wu State. If we want to conduct large-scale trade with Yancheng, we have to go through other countries. We must first transport the goods on our territory to a third country, and then let the third country Help transport it to Yancheng via the Yangtze River."

"These goods are all to be traded and sold in Yancheng, so Wu Guo did not dare to directly stop them, but they directly collected a full [-]% of the toll, [-]%!"

"Damn it, every time I think about Wu State doing nothing but controlling the Yangtze River and insisting on charging 100% ​​of the toll, I feel sad! I have worked so hard and only made a profit of 20 billion in the whole year. But in the end What? The State of Wu did nothing but robbed me of 80 billion in profits, and in the end only [-] billion was left in hand."

"The Kingdom of Wu is simply a barbarian, a group of bandits!"

A group of robbers felt that Wu was the robber, and a group of Chu barbarians felt that Wu was the real barbarian.

Although this scene is a bit funny, it also shows that the military morale is available.

"Okay, I already know everyone's hatred for the Wu State, so let's face the decisive battle together. This time we must drive away the Wu State, at least regain the capital of Ying and part of the Yangtze River."

Today's Chuhou is no longer the same as in the past.

In the past, the state of Jin was strong and powerful.As long as you become the ruler of the Jin Kingdom, even if you were just a real person or a first generation before, you will be promoted to a great real person immediately. This is your destiny.

The reason is not complicated. Jin is the real overlord. Whoever can exercise the power of overlord and maintain order in the world will receive the destiny.With destiny, one can directly rely on destiny to become a real person.

Of course, the disadvantage of this is that when the ruler loses his position of power, there is a high probability that there will be backlash.Therefore, in the past, the ruling power of Jin State was lifelong.

Wanting someone to abdicate early is basically equivalent to seeking wealth and murder.

As for the State of Chu, there were originally five to six thousand counties, but now more than 1000 counties are in the hands of the State of Wu, and it also has almost [-] counties of its own.

In just over 20 years, [-] counties have been transformed from a state of little development to a state of great development, and the national strength has been enhanced in more than one point or two. In this process, the Marquis of Chu has enjoyed huge benefits.

Today's Chu Hou, relying on these benefits and the newly obtained national fortune, has become a real person.The fate of the entire Chu State will bear the backlash of the power of heaven and earth for him.

As a great master, even if he does not rely on his own ability but relies on his position as Lord of Chu, he is still a great master.At this time, Chuhou's right to speak naturally became more and more important.

However, the foreign enemy is ahead, so the Marquis of Chu does not want to directly cross the river to demolish it at this moment: such as killing the nobles, driving the car in reverse, declaring that the noble meeting is illegal, and the highest power belongs to the Marquis of Chu.

At least at this moment, the Marquis of Chu still wanted to unite the nobles wholeheartedly and drive away the Wu invaders.

As for whether the Marquis of Chu will regret it after driving away Wu, that will have to wait until later.
