There were many cities on both sides of the Huishui River, and the Jin State used large-scale troops to attack foreign countries. If it was to conquer the Rong and Di, the cities would often temporarily move back to Jiangcheng or Fenshui Jiuyuan.
After Wei Cao came to power, in order to promote the young master Xiaoque to the throne, the top power of Jin State was quite divided, and for the first time, a semi-autonomous state similar to that of Chu State appeared.
Probably in order to avoid the whole family being thrown into the street, Wei Cao concentrated his diplomatic power on both sides of the Yellow River. The specific manifestation of international politics in the Jin State did not go deep into the Fen and Hui Rivers.
And the high-grade fabrics obtained from the Nanmanzi really increased Wei Cao's prestige, making Wei Cao's status among the officials greatly improved, and even gradually stabilized.
After all, "Red Clouds" and "Zixiao" can be obtained from the Nanmanzi. Just through this channel, some families in the Jin Kingdom who don't care about things have to point to Wei Cao, the minister.
In Dongguo of Jiangcheng City, Wei Cao, the minister of common rank who visited the State of Zheng, returned to the city. However, when Wei Cao went to the State of Zheng, he took nothing with him.
When I came back, in addition to a bunch of high-end products from Nanmanzi, there were also a lot of "Cao Zhongrong" from the shore of Shaoshui.
The international businessmen in Zheng were all shocked by Wei Cao's move.
In fact, when Wei Cao went to Zheng State, the ceremonial guards were very simple, and the number of followers was not as large as that of Li Jie. As for the armor soldiers, they were only guarding the house and the courtyard.
At that time in Xinzheng, the most eye-catching thing about the Wei family was probably that the Wei family's daughter-in-law got into Li Jie's bed, and then the Wei family's husband went to become Li Jie's student.
On the contrary, when he went to Qing Wei Cao, merchants from all over the world paid little attention to him.
Almost at the same time, Li Jie set out to go south, and Wei Cao crossed the Yellow River.
This time Wei Cao did not go through Mengguan, but went through Shaoshui.
When they reached the west of Taihang Mountain, they used the "Cao Zhong Rong" as an excuse to cause rebellion and commanded the border troops to kill them. All the "Cao Zhong Rong" tribes in the northwest of Taihang Mountain were eradicated.
Winter operations are inherently risky. After Wei Cao defeated the "Cao Zhongrong", he also believed that the "Li Rong" had always been friendly to our country of Jin, so he handed over the territory of the "Cao Zhong Rong" to the "Li Rong".
It was not transferred to "Li Rong", but was managed by "Li Rong" on his behalf.
The entire top management of "Li Rong", whether they are high-ranking people or political people, have not restrained their greed and got it for free. This winter is so difficult, so just take it.
So "Cao Zhongrong" hated "Li Rong" and thought that "Li Rong" had called the Jin people to destroy them.
At this time, Wei Cao did not take the water route, but crossed the Shaoshui River, using "Red Clouds" as bait, and told the king of the Yuan Kingdom that Jin has always been a friendly neighbor, and the Yuan Kingdom is a trustworthy country.
I would like to give you "Chixia" as a gift.
Today, the original country has been restored three times. It was the land of the Jin State hundreds of years ago. It was destroyed twice and restored twice. The most recent restoration was due to the aging of the Jin princes and the vying for power and benefit among the officials.
Digging holes to undermine your opponent's strength.
The third restoration of the Yuan Kingdom originated from the internal political struggle of the Jin Kingdom more than ten years ago.
Therefore, in fact, the independence of the Yuan Kingdom does not exist. It is only independent in name. The political, economic and military affairs are easily controlled by the Jin State. However, as the internal strife in Jin becomes more and more intense, the Yuan Kingdom is caught in the cracks, but it has a certain degree of independence.
In terms of autonomy, such as foreign diplomacy, in recent years, the original country has been able to visit each other with its princes.
This is also a signal. Is the Jin State internally unstable and about to die?
However, the Yuan Kingdom's "living life" ended here, because the minister Wei Cao returned from Zheng and tempted the Yuan Kingdom's monarch with "red clouds", and Yuan Bo was fooled.
After Wei Cao crossed the river, there were not many armed forces accompanying him. The excuse he gave to Uncle Yuan was that he was on his way in a hurry. If Uncle Yuan wanted "Red Clouds", he would just come to the bank of Shaoshui to get it, and he would not bother going to Yuan Kingdom.
When the kings and ministers of the original country heard this, they felt that Wei Cao, the minister, had a very good conscience.
Later, Uncle Yuan led his troops to the bank of Shaoshui, where he was captured alive by Wei Cao, the minister of state. He was accused of colluding with the "Cao Zhongrong" to attack the minister of Jin.
Then the Yuan Kingdom perished for the third time.
This time the Yuan Kingdom was destroyed. Wei Cao had no intention of restoring the Yuan Kingdom and quickly purged the Yuan Kingdom. Except for Wei's own people, all officials from other aristocratic families were eliminated.
The winner will not be criticized, and Wei Cao, the top minister, has done all the tricks. Even if there are accusations in the country, all the "evidence" is quite complete and complete.
Of course, if there is an old family who insists that the original country cannot be destroyed, and Wei Cao really goes along with the situation and says that the original country can be restored, the family that jumps out to criticize cannot bear such pressure.
Regardless of what was going on between Wei Cao and Li Jie, Wei Cao's achievements after returning from his winter mission were simply dazzling.
Politics, economy, and military affairs are all beautiful, and Wei Cao's governing skills, at least for now, are obedient.
Most of the international businessmen who followed Wei Cao into the Jin Dynasty were spies. After watching the whole process, they were all frightened. They secretly thought that Jiang is still old and hot, and the old overlords are awesome. If a good person comes out at random, the Jin Dynasty will rise again.
.
How is it like the negative example of the Kingdom of Wu? After the death of King Wu Wei, he is still eating the leftovers left by King Wu Wei. The monarchs and ministers who have maintained their success are all without highlights, and they are even worse than a barbarian leader.
"Wei Zi's sophistication is really chilling."
In the east corner of Jiangcheng City, Wu Zhan, whose beard is getting thicker and thicker, has fear in his eyes. He actually followed Wei Cao into the Jin Dynasty. After entering the Jin Kingdom at the earliest, there were not many places to go around. At one time, he was still trapped in
Black soil.
He came in with a task. The boss gave him the target. Seeing that there was no hope of completing it, he gritted his teeth for the last time and simply followed the Jin Dynasty's big move. If there were any talents, there would always be one or two who slipped through the net.
fish.
The Jin State is so large, but its governance is mainly based on "kinship". The blood ties are very strong. For more than three generations, it is actually difficult to communicate on the same level, unless the status of the small branch has an overwhelming advantage.
The Jiangyin Guild Hall founded in Jiangcheng is not big. Wu Chan, who used to keep a low profile, is no longer afraid. The Jin State is too closed inside, and there is no use in keeping a low profile. There is often only one ruling body in a city, from this clan to that clan.
, what’s the use of being low-key?
In every aspect, the rulers cannot be bypassed.
So Wu Chan also realized that instead of me going to the mountain, I would rather let the mountain come to me.
Of the country dogs in the wild, there must be one or two good ones.
Moreover, the large families of the Jin Kingdom are widely distributed. After two generations, there will be branches. Even if the small branches are not as good as the main clan, they still have a certain "family heritage" and are not bad in terms of the inheritance of knowledge.
If you have knowledge, you can serve as a minor official. Among the densely packed minor officials in the Jin Kingdom, there will always be those who want to get ahead and do not want to waste time.
Is there no branch of the Zhao family in the cities ruled by the Wei family?
Is there no branch of the Han family in the cities ruled by the Zhao family?
As big clans intersect with each other, there will always be poor people who live in the cracks. This time, Wu Chan is just staring at the poor people.
It's just that the poor guy didn't find it, but was frightened by Wei Cao's dazzling skills. Wu Chan suddenly felt a little scared.
I used to follow my boss Li Jie around, but I didn't think anything of it. Whenever something happened, it was the boss who took care of it. The boss's method of dealing with troublesome problems was just one way: just do it and get it done.
As a low-level bastard, Wu Chan never thought that the reason why Li Jie was able to do this was because Li Jie was completely unique. It was just that he was in the middle of the game at the time, which meant it was a bit dark under the lights.
Now on the international stage, Wu Chan's hair is starting to stand on end.
The boss can just do it and get it done, how can he, a little bumpkin, do the same?
Obviously not, Wu Chan thought, that's just the level of being fucked.
Therefore, after spring came, and Wei Cao's rule became more and more stable, Wuchang, who was in the east corner of Jiangcheng, was still a little afraid to move around, and kept his tail between his legs. The old friend he had found before was still dumping supplies in various parts of the Jin Kingdom.
"I don't know how Lifu is doing now."
Since his situation was so difficult, Wu Yu could not help but admire Jia Gui even more. Comparing the two, Jia Gui was the one who truly had hidden talents.
"well……"
Sighing, Wu Chan looked sad in the lonely Jiangyin Guild Hall. It was already February, and the Jin Kingdom was about to change its monarch. The ceremony for coming to power was already being prepared, but the business indicators... were still zero.
"My dear, why are you sighing? Now is the time for good fortune!"
Several businessmen who followed Wu Chuan out of the Cai Kingdom immediately persuaded him, "Have you forgotten, dear man, that when the new king ascends the throne, the heroes from all over the Jin Kingdom will surely gather together?"
"Huh? That's right!"
Wu Chan immediately clapped his hands and said with a smile, "My lord has entrusted me to do so at this time!"
