Four days later, when Li Jie went to inspect the large construction site in Nanton County, he received a secret message from the State of Jin.
After entering summer, the roads are much easier to walk. Although the rainy season in early summer is a headache, it has little impact. The entire Huaizhong City stored a large amount of hay in the autumn and winter of last year.
Important offices are also built on high and low areas, and most of the low-lying areas are water storage systems for drainage and sewage. This year's spring flood in the Huai River will have little impact.
As usual, the Yangtze River had two flood peaks, but it did not affect Li Jie. Peng Lize expanded and flooded a lot, and Qunshu countries were also unlucky.
Although the water level in Ru River has also risen, Nanton County built an earth dam in advance and spent the whole summer on emergency measures. If you pay attention to inspections, the problem is not big.
The dams of other tributaries have also been reinforced. As long as the dams are not destroyed by heavy rains, agricultural production will resume in an orderly manner.
At this time, when I was stationed in Nanton County, the quality of life was not as good as that in Huaizhong City, but it was not bad either.
The construction site engineering headquarters immediately looked through the letter. The Jin characters inside were densely packed. Although the wording was very close to the colloquial language of Huaizhong City, it was still weird and weird. It made Li Jie's head hurt.
"Zhao Niang!"
Because it was widely reported that the Crocodile People were mainly focusing on intelligence from Jin recently, Li Jie took Wei Zhaoniang with him.
"What's the matter, husband?"
Wei Zhaoniang, who was dressed in men's clothing, heard Li Jie's voice and came over holding a kettle to ask.
"Look at what the hell Xingyun is talking about here!"
After passing the letter, Wei Zhaoniang put down the kettle, took it and looked at it, her face changed.
"What's wrong?"
"The letter said that the Han family lent Zheng Chengzi two thousand strong bows and five hundred hard crossbows."
"anything else?"
"Also, the person hosting this time is the Han family and the Ge family in Guangwu."
Wei Zhaoniang was familiar with the distribution of Jin's wealthy families. When she saw her husband's confused look, she immediately explained to him: "The southern part of Jin has been constantly fighting for many years, so most of the frontline feudal lords are Han and Zhi."
"For example, around the territory of the Emperor of Zhou, except for the State of Zheng in the east, the rest in the north, west and south are all the fiefdoms of the Han family. The entire State of Zhou is surrounded by the Han family on three sides."
Such a distribution situation is clear and intuitive.
Li Jie picked up the charcoal pen and drew twice on the white paper, with a very playful expression on his face: "Look at this, the vanguard of the Jin Kingdom's resistance to Chu, is the Han family? Han Meimei's family has some strength."
The Han family of Jin State basically followed the Wei family.
When the Zhao family was the dominant family, the Han family and the Wei family joined forces. While they worked together to reduce the public land, they also competed with the Zhao family for the sacred land.
Now the Wei family has become the dominant family in the Jin Dynasty with a series of tricks by the chief minister Wei Cao. Even the king is on the side of the Wei family. This situation has changed a lot.
If the Han family continues to follow the Wei family, they might be swallowed up by the Wei family.
The tricks are not classified as good or bad, only whether they are effective or not.
Now it seems that the Han family, as the front line of the Jin Kingdom, is also "capitalizing" the enemy while bordering the Zheng Kingdom. Even if the enemy is a little weak and weak, and even the king is tricked by the Nanbarbarians, but while the Zheng Kingdom is taking advantage of
During the "national crisis", taking the opportunity to make a small fortune can not only strengthen oneself, but also tear down the Wei family.
To other countries, this means that Jin is secretly supporting Zheng.
As for the sequelae of "capitalizing the enemy", for the Han family, it can be said to be basically non-existent. How can a dog-eat-dog fight be fought just because of a strong bow and a strong crossbow?
The Han family was convinced that Wei Cao would not dare to quarrel with the Han family. As long as the Wei family dared to quarrel with the Han family, the Han family would dare to openly support the new king, and even pull other families to support him.
There are even two plans within the Han family. One is that if Wei Cao comes to make things clear, then they will also come to make things clear, and unite with the other families to shout the slogan "Return to the King"; the other is that if Wei Cao comes to make things secret
, were not afraid, so they united with other companies and shouted the slogan "Expand Wang Tian, follow the example of Wu Kingdom".
The former is to transfer the power of the Jin State from the Wei family to the monarch in an open and systematic way. The Han family can't get it anyway, so everyone should forget about it. The Wei family will definitely be disgusted by the low-intensity table-turning.
It won't be reduced too much, but it will be much more "equal" on the surface.
As for the latter, it's even simpler. The reason why Wu State rose so quickly is because the old monster Gouchen had a lot of resources at hand.
Now look at the public land of the Dukes of Jin. How much is left? There are very few.
The land of the public office is surrounded by the Zhao family and the Wei family. If the land directly under the public office is to be expanded, it will definitely be cut off from the Zhao family and the Wei family.
Of course, the Han family does not have no land around the official house, but the Han family can definitely take the lead in cutting meat.
Anyway, the loss is minimal, and exchanging a small amount for a large amount is not considered a loss.
Generally speaking, Han's operation in the country is to lie on the ground and roll around. It is impossible to attack, and it can only look disgusting.
But the effect is absolutely very good, so if Wei Cao had not been absolutely sure, it would have been impossible to force the Han family to face the enemy at this time.
So even if he knew that Han was secretly supporting Zheng Guo, he could only deal with it in a low-key manner.
If the international community thinks that the Jin State is supporting the Zheng State, they will pinch their noses and admit it, and there is nothing they can do if they don't admit it.
Of course, the Han family took all the benefits.
It's very difficult to be the boss without being taken advantage of.
With the help of Wei Zhaoniang, Li Jie was able to figure out the distribution of Jin forces near Zhou, Zheng and Chu, including Jin's great power strategy and the power struggle within the great power.
"Husband, this Zhongxingyun intends to persuade a talented person from the Han family in Henan when he goes south."
"Since he is a talented person, how could Mr. Han let him go?"
"This person is not of the Han family's blood, but was born from an affair between his mother and someone else."
"..."
This amount of information is a bit overwhelming, and it almost dazzled President Li.
"This man is indeed quite talented. He is good at water management and has economic talents. He was once the ambassador of Mengmen. The Wei family benefited from this man's management here. The income from trading in one year exceeded the previous three years."
"What is your name?"
"Han Chao. The person whose mother had an affair was Guangpingzi of the Zhao family. Guangpingzi had a son named Zhong, who had a close relationship with Han Chao."
"Zhao Zhong?"
"Exactly." Wei Zhaoniang looked a little embarrassed and hesitated to speak.
This made President Li suddenly curious. Could it be that Han Chao and Zhao Zhong are gay friends?
President Li, whose smile gradually became abnormal, immediately asked Wei Zhaoniang: "Is there another reason for this?"
Wei Zhaoniang's face turned red. She was indeed ashamed to speak. After a while, she said: "Zhao Zhong, the son of Guangpingzi, is not of Guangpingzi's blood. His mother had an affair with the Wei family..."
"..."
President Li, who had an even more perverted smile, was immediately convinced. This Wei family is indeed the eldest brother of the Han family.
The younger brother was not afraid of being cheated on, but the elder brother avenged his worries immediately!
How to take revenge?! Of course, Green should go back!
"Awesome, really awesome, I'm so convinced!"
He couldn't accept it, Li Jie never thought of this waist-breaking operation.
This is worse than being gay!
Wei Zhaoniang was even more ashamed. This whole thing was obviously a scandal for the Wei family, but nobles, please just keep a low profile and deal with it, and everything will be fine.
Aren’t they just people of the same mind?
That's okay.
"If Zhongxing Yun can convince Han Chao, he will definitely be able to convince Zhao Zhong. Han Chao has political talents, and Zhao Zhong is a great archer in the north. There is a good archer in Rong Di, so he invited Zhao Zhong to compete in archery, but no one could win.
"
After saying this, Wei Zhaoniang also reminded, "Zhao Zhong's arm strength is amazing, he can shoot arrows into rocks; his eyesight is also amazing, he can shoot arrows through the eyes of eagles."
"This kind of talent..." Li Jie smacked his lips, "If I were Guang Pingzi, I wouldn't be willing to kill him."
It's just a son. What's wrong with replacing him with a sharp archer general?
It's just that the three families of Wei, Zhao, and Han are embarrassed by each other.
"This Zhao Zhong, where is he now?"
"It should also be in Henan. Master Wei visited Xinzheng in person before, and Zhao Zhong was the commander-in-chief of the military soldiers."
"Sure enough, he is a talent that Mr. Wei can take notice of. Okay! Hire him here!"
Li Jie was about to write a letter when he saw Wei Zhaoniang's troubled face. She was obviously a little unbalanced because she saw her husband poaching her natal family.
Seeing her like this, Li Jie immediately comforted her and said: "Zhao Niang, you don't have to worry about gains and losses. When I destroy the Jin State in the future, we will still be a family. In five years at most, I will definitely destroy the Jin State. All the princes in the world are vulnerable."
You have to trust me."
"..."
After kissing Wei Zhaoniang on the face, Li Jie immediately went out and asked someone to prepare another thousand gold and two hundred horses of "Big Red 01" to be ready to poach Han Chao and Zhao Zhong.
When dealing with these elite talents, President Li said that apart from money, he had nothing to offer.
If he really had any social status, he would have to wait until he crippled the state of Chu and then showed the "man" canonization certificate from Emperor Zhou.
With "roots are right and seedlings are red", many of these things will be easier to do.
Moreover, President Li has also thought about it. "Hanzi" is just a preliminary operation. He can definitely learn from the Chu people and ask the emperor Zhou about the importance of the cauldron before mentioning the title.
In any case, he didn't like the tripod of Emperor Zhou, so he would at most put it in a museum and leave it to future generations to appreciate.
Nanton County's money bank was renovated. The people in charge of accounting had just finished decorating the money bank, and most of the cash in it was removed one after another before it was even warm. This made the people in the finance department go crazy.
In the past few days, everyone on the construction site who looks like a human being comes to ask for money. Without money, we can't start work.
The amount of money spent on groceries and meals alone for a day is a huge amount, which is terrifying.
And now, the "Dahong 01" that has just been put into storage is being shipped to the north again.
Is there another stunning beauty in the north? Let the boss be so enthusiastic and spend money so prodigally?!
It was reported that the Crocodiles set off first, and the transport fleet followed the passing fleet to Xinzheng.
It was already the evening of the second day when we arrived at the junction of Shanxi and Zhengzhou.
Fortunately, through Wu Chan's many years of experience in reselling livestock, a small secret stronghold was established in a market on the border, hidden among the livestock dealers.
