The Spring and Autumn Period was still a slave system. Until the early years of the Warring States Period, the Five Hegemons of the Spring and Autumn Period evolved into the Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period. With the promotion of various countries, the slave system was abolished and the transformation to feudalism was completed.

However, slaves did not disappear completely, and mainly existed in the form of official slaves.

That is to say, in fact, the Spring and Autumn Five Hegemons, the kings of the five countries are actually the biggest slave owners.Su Qingzhi, for example, had countless slaves in his hands, and even Wu Zixu and Sun Wu recruited new recruits during their military training, except for a few serious civilians, they were all slaves.

Most of the slaves were picked from Su Qingzhi, who was the biggest slave owner in the entire Wu Kingdom.When Wu Zixu asked about the cost of building a cement plant and mining limestone, what Su Qingzhi said was true, it was really negligible.

Of course, the most important thing was the promise Su Qingzhi made to the slaves.Well done, getting out of slavery and becoming a good citizen is not a dream.

Wu Zixu, Sun Wu and Bo Pi were shocked.

In addition to cement being able to pave the road quickly, it also lies in Su Qingzhi's calm attitude of exempting from slavery.In fact, the power of the kings of various countries is largely based on the number of slaves in their hands.

In their view, Su Qingzhi's sacrifice was not insignificant.

Immediately moved to tears.

"The meaning of the king"

"It's not interesting to be widowed." Su Qingzhi glanced at the three people present very strangely. "The widows just think about, um, maximizing their interests. Giving people what they care about the most is far better than brutal suppression."

Su Qingzhi doesn't think he's a good person, but he has experienced a lot anyway, not counting the nine leaks, the basic conscience and the three views, Su Qingzhi will not be distorted even if he loses his memory repeatedly.It is believed that slavery is barbaric and accompanied by cruel burial.

In the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, slave owners, no matter how big or small, would choose to let their slaves be buried after death.And there are many ways to die, beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

Su Qingzhi definitely couldn't be so cruel, as a slave owner, he didn't treat slaves as human beings.Although the current Su Qingzhi is pretty nasty, but, after all, he is considered a kind person.It is impossible to achieve great harmony in the world, at least slowly and gradually abolishing slavery can still be achieved.

These considerations are just Su Qingzhi's private calculations, and he will not tell anyone, even the most trusted ministers in his heart, Wu Zixu and Sun Wu, Su Qingzhi will not tell.No matter what, Wu Zixu and Sun Wu are both beneficiaries of the slavery system. Who knows if they will dissuade Su Qingzhi from abolishing the slavery system prematurely because of the damage to their own interests.

"In short, the cement made by the widow has been proved to be very useful in front of the three adults. After thinking about it, the widow decided to use cement to pave the streets of the entire Gouwu City. , for cattle, horses and vehicles to run side by side."

"Your Majesty has such great ambitions, and the ministers are very pleased. It's just that Your Majesty," Sun Wu said hesitantly, "The most important thing now is to train soldiers and lay roads. It is best to do it in a gradual manner."

Su Qingzhi doubted what he heard, and looked at Sun Wu in surprise.

"The widow didn't say no to military training." Su Qingzhi's voice was deeply speechless. "To avenge my father, how can the widow be abandoned halfway through training?"

Sun Wu and Wu Zixu both felt relieved.

Bo Pi had something to say, but it was obvious that Su Qingzhi didn't seem to be talking to him. To be honest, Su Qingzhi didn't use his willfulness to take Bo Pi's position. It's because Bo Pi didn't betray Wu Guohe for his own self-interest. Goujian, king of Yue, cooperated with the inside and the outside.

If Su Qingzhi disposes of him now, it is unlikely to convince the public.At the very least, Wu Zixu, who had recommended Bo Pi as an official before He Lu, the great king of the state of Wu, would be full of doubts.

Bo Pi didn't make a mistake, so Su Qingzhi dealt with him. To say that it is light is to do things emotionally, and to say that it is important is to do things according to one's heart, regardless of the overall situation.Su Qingzhi considers himself a person who respects the old and loves the young, so it's best to be cautious when doing things. If you analyze and do things in advance and there is no good ending, then don't do it.

In order not to get to the end, I was full of idleness.

"The matter is settled like this." Su Qingzhi concluded with a calm expression at the end. "I have said long ago that Zixu and Changqing (Sun Wu's word) are responsible for military training, and I am responsible for infrastructure construction. I don't want you to pour cold water on me after I succeed. I just want to say that I am very angry and even more disappointed. The widows didn't restrict you, you really hurt the hearts of the widows."

When it came to the end, Su Qingzhi was crying, but naturally he didn't cry.It's just that the appearance of crying or not is even more distressing.

At least Wu Zixu and Sun Wu were deceived, but Bo Pi was not. But, Su Qingzhi obviously didn't want to talk to him.Bo Pi kept silent in the name of self-knowledge, and kept a good sense for a long time.

Don't talk about working hard, at least there is no trouble!

For example, Wu Zixu and Sun Wu joined forces to train troops with all their strength. After only a few months, the State of Yue learned from merchants who traveled all over the country that the State of Wu's military training with great fanfare was mainly to attack the State of Yue with all its strength.

In history, King Goujian of Yue heard that Fu Chai, king of Wu, was stepping up his army training and preparing to attack Yue in order to avenge his father. So he refused to listen to the dissuasion of the doctor Fan Li and decided to preemptively send troops to attack Wu.

In this battle, the state of Wu was fully prepared, and it was invincible against the state of Yue, which rushed to attack and wanted to strike first.The Yue State was directly defeated without any power to fight back, and suffered heavy losses. There were only more than 5000 people left, and they retreated to Kuaiji Mountain (now south of Shaoxing, Zhejiang).

After that, under the joint leadership of Wu Zixu and Su Wu, Wu's army pursued the victory and quickly occupied Kuaiji City (now Shaoxing, Zhejiang) and surrounded Jiangji Mountain.

Faced with this menacing and unstoppable situation of the Wu Kingdom.King Goujian of Yue was very annoyed but had no choice. In the end, he could only accept the advice of the doctor Fan Li and Wen Zhong, and sent Wen Zhong to bribe Wu Dazai Bo Pi with beauties and treasures, and asked him to persuade Wu King Fucha to allow the Yue Kingdom to belong to Wu.

In history, Bo Pi was the second and fifth child. After successfully concealing the evil intentions of King Gou Jian of Yue, and thinking about how to destroy Wu, he succeeded in making Wu King Fu Chai believe Bo Pi's letter and vetoed Wu Zixu's killing of Wu. Wang Fucha proposed to avoid future troubles.

but here

What was mentioned earlier, oh, after the state of Wu's vigorous training of soldiers was known by the state of Yue, Gou Jian made the same choice as in history.In the case of extremely insufficient preparation, it still failed miserably.

Only this time, instead of 5000 people left, there are only 1000 people left.Among them, the Vietnamese army was captured by the Wu army by nearly [-] people.

According to the Spring and Autumn Period, when countries fought wars, the losers had nothing to say, anyway, they could only cede land and pay compensation.But if it is a victorious country, let's put it this way, if there are many captives, it is likely to cause financial crises and food shortages.

There is no precedent for killing prisoners of war.

The first recorded murder of a prisoner of war in history was also the Qin State General Bai Qi who killed 40 soldiers of the Zhao State in order to destroy Zhao State’s vital forces. head.

Before Bai Qikeng killed 40 Zhao soldiers, for example, in the Spring and Autumn Period, in many cases, the victorious countries (vassals) would not kill captives who surrendered at will, but would raise them for redemption by the defeated party.

In the final analysis, this is the Spring and Autumn Period when you beat me and you beat you, and then no one was truly destroyed, except for Wu and Yue.

The state of Wu is busy with the state of Yue, and the state of Yue is busy with the state of Chu.

Later, the three kingdoms of Han, Zhao, and Wei divided up the state of Jin, and finally formed a situation of five hegemons in the Spring and Autumn Period and seven heroes in the Warring States Period.

This time Wu Zixu and Sun Wu led the army to attack Yue, and it was Su Qingzhi's private confession that more prisoners should be captured.The construction of all aspects of Wu State requires a lot of labor.Su Qingzhi thought he was a good king, but he was reluctant to spoil the people of Wu state to serve in corvee.

It is said that exorbitant taxes are fiercer than tigers, and countries have been fighting for years. Either you beat me today, or I beat you tomorrow. Anyway, there is no time to stop.Like the 'mutual fight' between Wu and Yue, it can be described as feud.

There is no possibility of reconciliation, whether it is for Goujian, king of Yue, or Su Qingzhi, king of Wu, let alone the other things, and the life of the former king of Wu is still in between.

It is impossible for Su Qingzhi to let the Yue Kingdom go, especially the Yue Kingdom Goujian who used the beauties to plot against him. When the army was aggressively slashing at the Yue Kingdom, Su Qingzhi had already begun to think over and over again to "place" Goujian. Zero one way.

Of course, according to the fact that Wu State is currently short of labor, the prisoners of war captured in the war with Yue State must be brought back to Wu State neatly.Regardless of whether they are dedicated to Yue, I don't know how long it will take for them to return to Wu. Anyway, what they need are laborers, not ordinary people.

Who cares whether they are forced to live in Wu country or not, they are still willing.

Anyway, it is only necessary to ensure that Su Qingzhi's various infrastructure plans can be carried out smoothly.You must know that Wu Zixu and Sun Wu trained soldiers for two years, and Su Qingzhi spent two years paving the road before he could use cement to complete the paving of the entire Gouwu City.

Like other cities under the rule of Wu State, they have not yet been ranked.There is no other reason, the biggest reason is actually the lack of labor.Let alone paving the road with cement is very simple, just talk about the transportation problem at this time.

Su Qingzhi only built a cement yard.When the roads are blocked and the mud roads are the majority, sunny days are fine, but once it rains and the roads are muddy, how can the cement be transported to the place where it is needed?

You must know that cement will react chemically when it meets water.Congealed into blocks, it will soon become hard and unusable. It can only be used to lay foundations and be used as building materials.
