However, there is one thing to say, anyway, the fault lies with the Jin State, and it has no relationship with the Han State with the Kaiyuan Tongbao.
When returning to Meishan, a group of old Zheng people who were waiting to borrow grain for farming all expressed that they did not intend to borrow grain from the Han State. What kind of grain should they borrow? The seeds were from the Han State, but the land... belonged to them?
Even Emperor Zhou was insulted. What else can we expect these days?
Without hard power, you will just be beaten.
Immediately, Mr. Zheng Guo rolled his eyes and quickly went to catch up with his former compatriots. It was not that he wanted to take a roundabout way to flatter him, but the main reason was that the market this year was not very good and he wanted to expand his business, for example, to do some small business in the south.
Business.
That's what it means to say that merchants have low-income businesses. The houses of scholar-bureaucrats occasionally have to start new businesses.
Meishan, Xishi is a little curious. After her husband came back today, he kept talking about things like "Wujiao is really good at fixing things", "This old boy is a talent", "You can actually fool even the sparrows of the Jin Dynasty"...
He couldn't understand what he was saying, but Xi Shi finally understood that the new favorite minister of the Jin Kingdom was actually the Wushi from Zhuma City?
And this Wushi in Zhuma City did not exist before the Huaishui Bofu was defeated.
The so-called snakehead is a bumpkin who resells livestock.
Later, he was able to succeed because the new boss was awesome.
"Your Majesty, what's on your mind?"
"It's already spring. I was originally thinking that when Wu Hao brought BOC Cloud over, he could be regarded as recruiting talents and made great contributions. During the spring plowing season, he would be promoted and given some bonuses. But now it has caused such a big stir.
Come on, this is really...unexpected."
Xi Shi didn't know what happened, so he asked curiously, "Did this snake rebel against the king?"
"That's not the case, it's just that this guy has now become the favorite of King Jin Xiaoque, and has also become King Jin's envoy, running to Emperor Zhou to exhale his fragrance."
"..."
She didn't understand what Li Jie meant by "breathing fragrance", but Xi Shi most likely guessed that it was not a good thing.
Especially now, there are rumors that the Emperor Zhou is busy abdicating the throne. Here in Zheng State, scholar-bureaucrats come to inquire about the news every day, and they also send gifts specially to the tribute fields of Lu State.
One piece of news is very certain, during the spring plowing, Emperor Zhou will pass on the throne to the crown prince.
But here comes the problem, originally there was a fight for the prince, but now, the prince is just a stupid kid?
Although the rumors were unbelievable, the Zheng people were so excited that Xi Shi felt that she would rather believe them than not.
If Emperor Zhou abdicates, the blame will be placed on King Jin. That would be unusual. Everyone is from Lao Ji's family. You, King Jin, are two generations younger than me, so you end up dealing with your elders like this?
Above the court, openly threatening.
It's just a borrowed road, but it's not that it's not borrowed. It's like borrowing a dry road. It's too rough and barbaric, and it doesn't have the elegance of the old Ji family at all.
The fragility of the Zhou Dynasty made Xi Shi feel more and more that the independence and authority of the Han State were infinitely stronger than those of the Zhou Dynasty.
The so-called "stars are brilliant" really makes sense.
"Then... Your Majesty, are you going to Luojing?"
"I don't want to go, but Master Cai said that Emperor Zhou plans to let me be the Grand Master and take care of the prince. After all, this prince is young, frail and sick, and has been rumored to die young."
"..."
After studying for so many years, Xi Shi knew very well that such a prince was meant to die?
I'm just afraid that if someone catches the cold, he will have to die and go to hell.
Xishi, who was seventeen years old this year, suddenly felt that maybe Emperor Zhou did it on purpose?
Then she thought that her husband had become the Grand Master of the Zhou Dynasty. He was really powerful. There was no more powerful hero than him in the world.
Coupled with the position of Grand Master, he is simply invincible.
But Xi Shi felt it was a pity that the Han Dynasty was so powerful, so why did he need a grand master from the Zhou Dynasty?
It is better to establish one's own business. Wouldn't it be better if the Zhou Dynasty died and the Han Dynasty was replaced?
After thinking about it, Xi Shi suddenly felt that it was not hopeless for her to be a concubine in the future.
She is a girl to begin with, and her thoughts are relatively crude.
But she didn't know that at this moment, Luo Jing and the Han Dynasty's elderly envoys were in very complicated moods.
"This emperor is really happy."
"He has opened up the territory and expanded the territory, and he has achieved both fame and fame. If he abdicates the throne again, he will not be a king who has subjugated the country. Moreover, because of the insults of the Jin people, the people of the country are angry, but they dare not fight against the Jin people with all their strength, so if he introduces the king as the grand master, he will It’s a matter of course.”
If it were another hegemonic power, Emperor Zhou would definitely not be able to play this way, because abdication would mean death.
But the Han Dynasty, but Li Jie, are different, they are really different.
The king of the Yang Kingdom forced the Yangzi Yubao, what happens now?
It’s still wonderful to be in Han.
Not to mention his rich family background, he is quite influential both inside and outside the system.
In addition, Yu Bao extremely restrained the expansion of his family and did not go crazy to enclose land. Firstly, it was not easy to enclose land within the Han State. Secondly, it was not cost-effective to enclose land within the Han State.
As the population increased, it was diverted. This was a large-scale operation of the Han Dynasty. In places such as Huainan, the population was originally saved at most two to three million, but now, due to the crazy investment in water conservancy facilities, it is not a problem to feed tens of millions of people.
Such as Zepi and others, even achieved the title of "land of plenty".
Fish is not the best, but it is the most abundant; rice is not the most fragrant, but it is also the most abundant.
"Land of plenty", no one will die from hunger.
During the troubled times and the Warring States Period, as long as people heard of such a title, they would rush to move there.
After thousands of miles, I finally have a head start.
For example, in Henan and other places, after the Wei people dug up the Yellow River embankment, hundreds of thousands of Wei people fled. I don’t know how many died. There may be a plague in the spring. Those who fled all went to Jisi, fearing to die locally. , became fertilizer.
The truth is so crude and simple, and people of all ages are not ignorant.
"In the past few days, the emperor has repeatedly asked me and others, just because he wants to wait for a promise from you."
"But your Majesty is still playing in Meishan. I heard that in addition to Donghu clan's Fox Princess and Xiao Rongzi, there is also a Yue girl Xi Shi. Your Majesty... I'm afraid you don't want to leave Meishan."
"..."
"..."
Mr. Cai's face trembled. He had served so many bosses, and this was the most ridiculous one.
But I have to admit that this most ridiculous boss is really strong.
And luck... is really good.
How could something like this happen in the world? You were playing with women in Meishan until you lost contact, but someone else was already planning to give up your position as emperor?
Gritting his teeth, Master Cai picked up the tea cup, slightly concealed his gaffe expression, and then said in a low voice: "I have repeatedly emphasized to the king that this Princess Zhou Nan is a stunning beauty that only happens once in a thousand years!"
"One... I'm afraid it won't work."
"Baojun has two daughters, both of whom are also stunningly beautiful. They are said to be the most beautiful in the world and are famous in Kansai."
"How does it compare to Xiaorongzi, the fox concubine of the Donghu clan?"
"Not bad, even more beautiful, but less intelligent and illiterate."
"This is good! This is good!"
I heard Yun Zhenlu clapping his hands, then brushing his beard and saying with a smile, "Your Majesty is illiterate at first, so what if the beauty stays up all night writing languages from various countries? Furthermore, Your Majesty is just lustful, and there is probably no need to care about whether the woman is smart or not."
"..."
"..."
The faces of these old guys trembled, thinking that there are some things you cannot say even if they are true.
But now that everything has been said, there is no need to pretend anymore. Even if a few old guys have a plan, this time since Zhou Tianzi himself is sincere, they still hope that the boss can come over to sign and go through the process.
Become a grand master first, and then let the new emperor take the Zen position. The process will be perfect.
When the time comes, it will be said that the Han Dynasty has inherited the virtues of Zhou Dynasty and will prosper greatly.
A matter of words.
They don't need Jiuding. Anyway, the pots that Han can make are really big.
As long as Zhongyuan is under control, the next thing will not be difficult at all.
