"Your Majesty, it is not advisable to stay in Geyi for a long time. The Han army surrounded Shangqiu without breaking it. It is not impossible. It has sinister intentions and drives the people of Shangqiu to scatter. If your Majesty cannot take them in, there will be resentment."
The left army and the right army all lost their spirit. The right army watched helplessly as Li Jie passed by the south of Suishui River. After Dai Ting led his troops to retreat, Shangqiu was still surrounded and unable to break through. Anyone who is not too stupid can understand this situation.
, the Han army did not want to make things easier for the Song people.
negotiation?
Yes, but instead of sitting down and negotiating, let's negotiate like Marquis Wei!
"'Chanyuan'...what's the result?"
Dai Ju was also a little tired. At this time, he still had the same demeanor and elegance, but it was becoming more and more difficult. Seizing power within the Song Dynasty was originally thought to be a difficult operation.
Now it seems that this is where it is. The changes in the world are too terrifying.
"Everyone in the south of the Nanhe River in the Wei Kingdom was lost. The monarchs and ministers of the Wei Kingdom wanted to negotiate with Sha Bo Heng, but Sha Bo Heng sternly refused, saying that he was a general of the Han Kingdom and a minister of the Han Bo."
Sha Hen said that, but Li Jie gave him a very wide authority. As long as it doesn't hinder Mr. Li from picking up girls, you, Sha Hen, can do whatever you want, and you won't lose a single point of credit.
It was also because of Shaheng's horrific results that the siege of Shangqiu City became even more extreme, because Wei Ziyu received a request from his boss, that is, Shangqiu City would be the residence of Princess Nanzi in the future.
As soon as he heard this, Wei Ziyu became angry and thought, hadn't the Huang family already got a "Nangong"?
There is a war going on right now, so doing this will damage morale.
However, he never expected that when Wei Ziyu mentioned such a thing, many of his generals would become excited.
Others don’t know the inside story. How can they know if they are working in the Han system?
This is clearly the Song version of the Huaishui Goddess Palace. Isn’t that good?!
After capturing Shangqiu City, if they can provide services to Princess Nanzi... no, Mrs. Nan, if they can serve Mrs. Nan, in addition to military merit, they can also be exempted from a wave of taxes.
In the territory of Suiyang, it is not too much to transform more than one million acres of cultivated land with the technology of our Han country, right?
More than a million acres can be divided among everyone at will, and it is tax-free. Isn’t that flattering?
When Wei Ziyu heard this, he was shocked. Damn it, there is such a policy? Why didn't I know?
The generals were wondering, didn't you work in Huaizhong City? And you were also building a city on Longbei Mountain, so there's no way you didn't know that!
So the beasts outside Shangqiu City had a brief discussion and found out that the Huaishui Goddess Palace had different explanations for the inside story. As a result, the newcomers did not understand the essence of the overwhelming combat power of the Han elite.
The land is certainly useful, but the farming efficiency of your traditional family is simply not as good as the Han system. Coupled with the Crocodile Man and the military group headed by Baisha Yongfu, they are not uninterested in long-term gains, but when it comes to tossing the land personally, they can only
It's a few hundred acres, but if it's dividends, it's different.
Because dividends are not just land, but also various industrial benefits.
Sericulture is an industry that even the princes of other countries cannot even think of.
The silk production of Han Dynasty is dozens of times that of traditional Wu, Yue and Bashu. Even if you successfully crack the secret in twenty years, you will have at least two generations.
Who can guarantee that floods and droughts will not come in twenty years?
During the Huaishui Bofu period, the predecessor of the Han army, the great flood is still fresh in people’s memories, especially now that Pengli Ze is still blocking the Yangtze River like a vast ocean.
For the Han Dynasty's military power group, land was certainly good and was a property passed down from generation to generation, but food, clothing, housing and transportation were still ranked first.
Planting mulberry, raising silkworms, reeling, weaving, tapestry, embroidery, printing and dyeing... the profits of each industry are considerable. As long as there is exchange and there is a sufficient population, there is no need to worry about long-term survival.
Even if silk is not available, there are still ramie and kudzu.
It’s true that clothes can’t be sold for money, but there are also industries such as glass, cement, ceramics, lacquerware, furniture, etc.
The members of the guilds formed by these emerging industries are all veterans, crocodile men and brave men who retired due to disability. When Li Jie designated them to form these guilds, they were actually semi-official in nature similar to the "Veteran Committee".
The overall income added up is quite substantial.
This huge income is subject to taxes in the Han system, and does not need to be passed on. The industry guilds intercept it at the source.
Now, as long as this part of the detention is under the Huaishui Goddess Palace, it can be reduced for five to ten years... Then why not do it?
The original agreement between Li Jie and his younger brothers was that the tax would be reduced or reduced for five or ten years, and then the tax would be reduced or reduced based on the hours worked by each family on water conservancy projects and various large-scale projects.
This agreement was made during the Baisha Village period.
So looking back, if we add a department similar to the Huaishui Goddess Palace, we can get tax relief for five to ten years... Why wouldn't you be excited?
After Wei Ziyu finally figured it out, he actually murmured in his heart. In his opinion, land was the most important thing. But if he thought about it carefully, the Han Dynasty characterized the water conservancy project as a fixed investment for the whole people, rather than Li Jie's personal private property. So he enjoyed this
The people who benefit from a fixed investment cannot only be high-level people.
Although it was a little late to come to work at Li Jie's place, Wei Ziyu had also heard of it. Previously, the Yunyan family, Cai family, Yun family, Yunzhen family, Wu family and other old Wu Chu Huaishui families had all persuaded Li Jie to find a good ancestor.
.
However, Li Jie did not do this at all. As for commemorating the late emperor Gou Chen, Li Jie always said that he had nothing to do with Gou Chen, but the folk legend still spread that he was Gou Chen's bastard...
No matter how you look at it, it looks like the nobles within the Han Dynasty's system want to flatter Li Jie in a roundabout way.
Wei Ziyu even speculated maliciously that after Li Jie's death, if Li Lei succeeds, ministers will definitely encourage him to find a good ancestor. His father is not willing to do so. He is young and can instill noble blood in him.
What nice-sounding values.
In the north and south of Shangqiu City, Wei Ziyu was struggling with things far away, but Dai Ju, the monarch of the Song Dynasty, was struggling with whether to listen to the advice of his ministers and run directly to Hebei.
The Song Dynasty is now full of malice for Dai Ju.
Establishing a government in exile and then relying on foreign forces to restore the country is the best way now.
Dai Ju did the job of professing his vassalship to Li Jie.
It’s no use!
Li Jie, this beast, is just a male dog in heat. He is running around in Zheng State looking for beautiful women. Who cares about Dai Ju, an old man like him?
I was struggling, but finally there was a brand new news, which strengthened Dai Ju’s confidence!
Dai Ting's persuasion had not yielded any results. Several more ragged and haggard envoys from the Song Dynasty came outside Geyi. The envoys came from Luojing, which was at the foot of the emperor.
When they arrived at Geyi, the envoy quickly met with Dai Ju and told him an important piece of news.
"What?! All countries unite?!"
"Exactly! The envoys from Chu State went to Qi State again, and the Yue people went to Gusu. The guests of Jin State's Shangqing were in Luoyi; Prince Shen of Yan State..."
After talking a lot, in addition to the famous big countries, some small countries on both sides of the Yellow River have followed the big countries in sending troops.
"It seems that in the battle of Fenghao, Qin and Jin can't decide the winner, so they should call off their troops and make a truce."
As long as the war between Qin and Jin does not continue, the two great powers can take the lead and organize an unprecedented coalition to assemble Heluo and travel to and from Hulao Pass.
The Han army is now fighting continuously, and winter is approaching. As long as both sides spend the winter together, the next spring will be a big battle after enough rest.
In Dai Ju's view, the Han army's material delivery would be limited. They had a huge need for boats. Raising grain in winter was a major problem and required higher manpower.
The population of Qin, Jin, Zhou, Zheng, Yanqi was obviously much larger than that of Han.
There is Wu Yue in the southeast of the Han Kingdom, Bashu and Chu in the west, and the Chen and Song Kingdoms have not been annexed in the north. Once the date of the war is agreed upon, the Han army will definitely be surrounded by enemies on all sides.
"The fate of the poor has come!"
Dai Ju clapped his hands and laughed, sighing like this.
