The start time of Daqin is reversed by 30 seconds

Lu Buwei is very familiar with these people, and they are relatively close on weekdays.

In fact, Lu Buwei's followers all have a characteristic, which is very different from the disciples of the Fourth Young Master.

These people took refuge in Lu Buwei, and to put it bluntly, they were representatives of a group of folk intellectuals who wanted to do something for the society but were unwilling to submit to the general dignitaries.

Just like Li Bai in the early days of later generations, "An Neng smashed his eyebrows and bowed his waist to serve the powerful, which made me unhappy."

That's the kind of people.

Li Si is actually a traitor of Lu Buwei's diners, not a real Lu family's diners.

After the people came, Lu Buwei talked about his current confusion and asked a few people to talk about how to do it.

Soon, a man named Qiao stepped forward and said, "Master Xiang, I have a plan that can greatly weaken Su Jie's fiefdom!"

Chapter 1 Eight hundred miles Qinchuan!

As soon as this person said, Lu Buwei raised his eyebrows and looked over.

Said: "Mr. Qiao, come quickly!"

Nodding his head, he said: "Master Xiang, regarding the matter of titles, it is determined by the king, and this point cannot be changed by Lord Xiang, but Lord Xiang must know that no matter whether Su Jie is Lord Wu'an or other titles, None of these can shake the status of the Prime Minister, but the main things that can affect the Prime Minister are fiefdoms and food towns, which represent real strength."

Qiao's words immediately made the people around him understand the key point. What Lu Buwei was worried about was whether Su Jie's strength could threaten him. His name was secondary, but the fiefdom was important.

Lu Buwei said: "I understand the truth of what you said, do you want to let the truth take Su Jie's fief to a remote place?"

Several other people nodded one after another.

Lao Ai said: "This is indeed a method. The quality of a fiefdom depends not only on the area, but also on the population, and even more on the fertility of the land and the prosperity of the people."

For example, Lu Buwei's fief is Luoyang, with [-] households, no matter in terms of geographical location, population, or land, it is far from being compared with other food towns.

Lu Buwei also nodded secretly, Su Jie had contributed a lot, but he is the prime minister, so it is not impossible to operate secretly.

Qiao smiled and said: "It's absolutely impossible, Prime Minister, if you do this, everyone will know that Prime Minister is jealous of talents. If it gets out, who will trust Prime Minister in the future?"

Lu Buwei was very puzzled and said: "What is the meaning of Mr.'s words? If you want to weaken his strength through fiefdoms, but can't make his fiefdoms remote, then how should I do it?"

Others also looked towards him one after another.

Qiao said: "Prime Minister, don't worry, let me talk to the Prime Minister in detail, and the Prime Minister will know how to do it."

He paused for a moment, and then said: "Long before the Western Zhou Dynasty, the Longxi River Valley Basin was fertile and open, with green peaks, lush water, and luxuriant water and grass. It was a good place to herd horses and raise livestock."

"Bo Yi, the ancestor of the Qin people who lived here, raised horses for Shun and bred them quickly. He was granted land and the surname Ying by Shun."

"In the Western Zhou Dynasty, after Boyi, Qin Feizi was praised by King Xiao for his meritorious service in raising horses for King Xiao of Zhou. King Xiao not only allowed him to inherit Boyi's Ying surname, but also made his land a vassal, the city of Qin."

"This place is the place where Qin State made its fortune, and it is now called Longxi."

Lu Buwei said: "Could it be that you asked the truth to send Su Jie to Longxi? This is not acceptable. Although Longxi is located in the northwest, it has fed millions of people in the Great Qin Dynasty. How can Su Jie be given to such a fertile land?"

Qiao smiled, shook his head and said: "Prime Minister, think about it carefully, now there are Longxi, Beidi, and Bashu in the whole pass!"

"Longxi is densely populated, with tens of thousands of hectares of fertile land."

"Not to mention Beidi and Bashu, the grain production in Longxi alone can feed more than [-] soldiers and civilians for two years."

"And every year, they provide Guanzhong with powerful strategic supplies."

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help nodding their heads. Longxi is not just a place where the Qin people thrive. As far as the present is concerned, without the wealth of Longxi, it is impossible for the Qin people to break through Hangu Pass.

Because there is not so much food.

Qiao continued: "Master Xiang, look for yourself, there is still a hundred and eight miles of Qinchuan between Xianyang and Longxi."

For a while, Lu Buwei and everyone understood.

A little closer to Guanzhong, apart from the grain production in Longyou, the second place is Qinchuan, eight hundred miles away, but there is a problem with the grain here.

The difference from Longxi is that although the eight hundred li Qinchuan is in the hinterland, it has been drought and flood for many years, and it is mostly a ferocious place.

Qin people often say here, "One stone per mu produces three stones, which is not as good as daily use."

At that time, in the middle reaches of the Yellow River, most of the yield per mu was one and a half stones. However, due to perennial drought and floods in Qinchuan for eight hundred miles, the yield per mu was much lower. How much is it in Longxi? The yield per mu in Longxi is three stones and two buckets.

Converted to one hundred catties, it can be seen that the gap is huge!

In the entire 20-mile Qinchuan, there are 20 farmers, but the irrigated land is only more than 4 hectares. The cultivated land was more than eight times less than that of Longyou.

Even so, Qinchuan within eight hundred miles is the hinterland of Guanzhong.

Among them are Yunyang, Jingyang, Yongdu and other important cities.

Especially Jingyang, which was the former capital of Qin State.

In the Qin Dynasty, most of the people's taxes were paid for food. Once the food could not keep up, where did the income come from?Even the food has to be supported by Longxi, and the tax and food handed over to the treasury every year has become a big problem.

At this moment, Lu Buwei fully understood, and said happily: "I understand the truth, as long as the truth proposes to give Jingyang to Su Jie, Su Jie's strength will not only not increase, but will be dragged down instead, good strategy, good strategy .”

Lai Ai and others praised it one after another, it was wonderful.

There are tens of thousands of households in the city, depending on the harvest. Guanzhong has long-term droughts, and droughts and floods all year round are not uncommon.

Qiao smiled and said: "It's good that the prime minister understands this. Jingyang is the old capital, and in anyone's eyes, it is a generous reward for Su Jie who has outstanding military achievements. The prime minister will fight hard for it. Everyone will Appreciate the Prime Minister's behavior."

After Lu Buwei figured it out, he was very happy, and suddenly thought about it: "Mr. Qiao, there is one more thing. The king ordered that there should be no less than [-] households. Although Jingyang is the old capital, most of them have moved here now." Near Xianyang, there are only [-] households in the city, which is less than [-] households, so what should we do?"

After hearing this, Qiao said with a smile: "This is the prime minister of heaven. There is Yunyang to the north of Jingyang. If it is not enough, there is Yongdu to the south of Jingyang. These three cities together have [-] households. Moreover, The land it belongs to is [-]% dry land, with General Su's military exploits, one county is not enough, at least three counties are needed."

Lu Buwei took a deep breath and said, "The land of the three counties? This is a little bit"

Qiao shook his head and said, "Maybe Lu has forgotten that Lord Chunshen of Chu State was given twelve counties north of the Huaihe River by King Kaolie as food towns! Now General Su takes three counties, so what's the matter. "

Lu Buwei understood, and he also understood in his heart, if this Su Jie won the three counties of Qinchuan, which is [-] miles away, he would be able to eat a pot just by paying the grain tax, not to mention that the local grain is not enough!

"Sir, your strategy is really wonderful, and the truth will reward you greatly!"

The next day, in the palace!

Lu Buwei and Pang Yi were standing still in front of Zi Chu.

Lu Buwei's eyes were fixed on the bamboo slip in Zi Chu's hand, it was the two of them who had agreed on Su Jie's fiefdom yesterday.

Zichu read it twice, and murmured: "Jingyang, Yongdu, Yunyang, Chiyang, Sanyuan, umm, not bad."

Pang Yi said: "Your Majesty, these cities are all in the north or west of Xianyang, and they are not too far away from Xianyang. According to Your Majesty's request, Your Majesty can choose three county towns to give to General Su."

Zi Chu smiled and said: "Yes, yes, not too far away, this is the most important, which three do you think the prime minister thinks?"

Lu Buwei saw Zi Chu asking, so he said: "I think Jingyang, Yunyang, and Chiyang are suitable. These three cities are all connected near the Jinghe River. If they are given together, they will be convenient to travel. And if General Su can make great achievements in the future, my lord When considering the reward, you can also give it to Liyang directly, so it seems that the king has thought about it for his subjects early on, and General Su must be very satisfied."

Liyang, the heavy city of [-] households in the Qin State, is near the Luohe River, on the same line as Jingyang.

When Zi Chu heard it, he immediately felt good, and said with a smile, "It's still the Prime Minister who is considerate!"

Lu Buwei clasped his hands and said: "The old minister dare not, but the virtuous and capable, and the rewards and punishments are all due to the king's credit. The old minister is just following the king's wishes."

The monarch and his ministers talked happily for a while, and the matter was settled like this.

Lu Buwei resigned secretly.

As soon as I left the palace, I looked up at the sky and felt that the sky was a bit blue!

Chapter 1 Qin and Wei Xiangzuo!Su Jie released Zhao Zu!

The city of Jinyang in the State of Zhao was conquered by General Su Jie of the State of Qin in one day, and naturally it was quickly passed on to the envoys of the Five Kingdoms in Handan.

This change was simply caught off guard and disrupted everyone's plans.

It was also shocked by the state of Qin again. Not long ago, the Shangdang of the state of Qin was conquered by Su Jie.

Su Jie pays homage to General Qin!

Not long ago, Su robbed [-] soldiers and horses and conquered Jinyang in one day.

Not good news for anyone.

Especially in South Korea, Han Jiri walked back and forth in the official post, and couldn't sit still.

It's too frightening, Jinyang and Shangdang are in the same county.

The entire South Korea is only the size of a county, that is to say, as long as Su Jie is willing, he can easily capture South Korea.

"Right now, Su Jie is leading an army to attack Zhao, and he must think of a countermeasure before this battle is over."

After Jinyang's fall, South Korea's position became embarrassing.

Afterwards, Hanjiri quickly ordered someone to prepare a book and sent the situation to South Korea.

Every time a general rises up in the Qin Kingdom, they will use South Korea as a pretext. Today's South Korea can't stand it anymore, not to mention that the current general is Su Jie!

Thinking about it makes my heart skip a beat.

The envoy of Chu, Xiong Kai, also had a grim expression at the moment, even though Chu and Qin were separated by the Three Jins.

But once Qin State continues to advance eastward, it will border on Chu State.

No one wants to be neighbors with Qin.

"Come on, hurry up and prepare the books!"

As soon as the words fell, Xiong Kai asked: "Do you know where Ling Yin is now?"

Ling Yin is equivalent to Qin Zhao's prime minister, and the Ling Yin in Xiong's mouth refers to Chunshen Jun Huang Xie.

"Chunshen Jun went to Jiangxia half a month ago!"

"Prepare two books, one to Jiang Xia and one to Chen Ying."

The current King of Chu is King Kaolie. In the early years, King Kaolie was a hostage in Qin State. Later, he was designed by Huang Xie and brought back to Chu State from under the eyes of Fan Ju. He inherited King Chu. Xie, let Huang Xie be Ling Yin, that is, the famous Chun Shenjun.

All over the state of Chu, Huang Xie is actually in charge of major matters, and his power is naturally not much worse than that of Lu Buwei.

In Daliang Palace.

All the ministers made a noise because of this, and the King of Wei sat in the hall with a serious expression.

Lord Xinling and Lord Longyang were also shocked.

Especially the vision of heaven and earth in June Feixue was known to Su Jie early on, and he used this to take down the city in one fell swoop!

For generals like them who have been marching for many years, thinking about it is shuddering.

The importance of Jinyang to Zhao State is self-evident. The seventeen cities of Shangdang may not be as important as Jinyang.

The king of Wei said, "My lords, do you have any objections to what the Qin envoy said?"

What King Wei said was naturally what Wang Jian said about sending troops to the north.

The reason why they didn't agree directly before is because Jinyang is the key. If Jinyang doesn't take it, attacking Wuyang in the north is empty talk.

If the Wei State took Wuyang, the Que and the city would not be a concern. An isolated city under the Taihang Mountains has Jinyang in front and Wuyang in the back, and Handan is blocked by Wuyang. How to increase the number of people?Surrounded by the army, the que and self-destroyed.

Lord Longyang took a step forward and said: "Your Majesty, during the reign of King Zhao Xiaocheng from Zhao Guo to Zhao Xiaocheng, he fought against the Qin army many times and failed to win a single victory. Now that Zhao Guo has lost Jinyang, Que Yu is even more at stake. I think that Our country of Wei can take advantage of the momentum to win Wuyang."

The king of Wei nodded and said: "Longyang Lord is right! What I am worried about is, if Qin State conquers part of Zhao State's cities, will it attack Wei State and rape Qin Wuyi? How dare I send troops so easily! "

For a while, all the ministers also became worried.

Lord Xinling thought for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, I believe that Qin State will not attack Wei State!"

"Oh? Lord Xinling quickly told the widow, why?"

Lord Xinling said: "Even if Zhao State loses Jinyang, Wuyang Handan and our Wei State are closely connected. If Qin State turns to attack Wei State, our Wei State will definitely attack Qin State together with Zhao State. The previous battles in the country are meaningless, and I believe they will not do such a thing."

Everyone agreed with what Mr. Xinling said.

Does Qin Guo feel that Zhao Guo alone is not exciting enough, insisting on shouting, I want to hit two!

Tianbu Shi Wei Qing said: "Your Majesty, I have heard for a long time that droughts and floods continue in Guanzhong, and most of them rely on Longxi. The Qin army must have been fighting for a long time, so there must be insufficient supplies. Therefore, I also think that what Lord Xinling said is true!"

In fact, as the history of Tianbe, who has been dealing with land taxation all day, he is more aware of Qin's food problems.

Historically, Yingzheng's army went out of Hangu Pass to the east and completely directed its troops to the other six countries, all of which happened seven years after Qin Wangzheng.

Soon, Wang Jian and Hu Tang were summoned by King Wei.

He also talked about Wei Guo's decision to attack Wuyang.

Wang Jian said happily: "Wei Wang is wise, my general said that if Wei Wang decides to attack Wuyang, he is willing to assist, so that Wei Guo can go down the city easily."

"what?"
