Chapter 70 _ Spring and Autumn Female Spy

Zhiji immediately added: There are jewelry, velvet leather spices that I, Zhao, have now. Just open your mouth, we will sell it to Zheng Jia at the market price. How about

Zhaocheng's bulk short-term products adopt a general agency system similar to later generations. All the goods are divided into shares according to production and are underwritten by general agents from all countries and regions. This is why Zhiji said that the cotton share in this autumn has been sold. However, because Zhao's industry has been rapidly developing and Zhaocheng adopts a free and open market, there are also some scattered goods produced independently by individuals. The amount of goods produced by these individuals is not large and is usually sold in the market. Therefore, some merchants stay in Zhaocheng and collect these scattered goods to transport them to their own country.

However, what Zhiji is talking about here is obviously not a scattered product. In response, Lu Yuji bowed again and refused to say: Mrs. Zhi does not need to break the rules so much. Zheng Jia is unwilling to ask for favors. If you make an exception like this and break the business rules, Zheng Jia will be very uneasy.

Zhao Wu looked at Zhiji strangely. This petty-minded woman who is more sensible is rare. Zhao Wu was willing to fulfill her wish. He interrupted and said: I came back from the battlefield. When I came, I bought some female slaves from the State of Wei, Song, and prepared to marry the bachelors in the territory. I plan to organize these female slaves and build my third imitation weaving factory. Then there will be more product share. You Lu Yuji are kind to my single girl. I will not give Shaw Brothers, but only make a part of the share for you. It is natural that you should

Lu Shaoji smiled: Wu Zi was so kind that the little girl was very moved. But why did the little girl take these shares and do not have the protection of noble people? How could I, a little girl, sell goods from house to house, and why would I divide some of these goods to Meng Xianzi Zhengqing of Lu. Lu is located in the central part of Qi and Jin, and it happened to help Zheng Jia store and transport goods. However, all this still needs to be in the name of the little girl. Does Wu Zi understand?

Zhao Wu was shocked and shocked. This was Lu Buji's ultimate goal. Yu Tuqiu saw it.

Before his death, Shisou once said: The more stable the hegemony of Jin State, the more ministers the vassal states cling to, the more powerful the internal struggle of Jin State. Lu Shaoji's statement just now was the clinging to Lu State.

The State of Lu was in charge of diplomacy in the past. After the State of Lu arrived in Taiwan, the State of Lu lacked a strong supporter in Jin. Now they have a crush on Zhao Wu. So they come to communicate and test through the State of Lu Shaoji.

How could the person who came to test it was not Lu Shaoji, who was the one who belonged to her?

Although Lu Yuji acted as a sacrifice for the country, her father was a doctor of Lu. When she married San Yu, Lu might have regarded this kind of marriage as a spy mission.

That's right, she is the contact person for Lu's diplomacy, and is specifically responsible for communicating and connecting the secret diplomacy between Lu and Jin.

Although Lu State is very sorry for her, now, who should Lu Shaoji defect to whom she can join? One and Three Shao's wandering warriors are at the cost of investing in Zhao's family in exchange for the monarch to return to Wen of the old territory. So now Shao Wen, or Wen, they have lost their lords, and guard the reputation of a nobleman, facing the enemy of Manchu. Can Lu Yuji still rely on Wen's family? Do she dare to rely on Wen's family, which is hated by the whole country?

Wen's family cannot be trusted, so why should Lu Shaoji dare to return to Jin alone whom she can rely on?

This is the answer.

Zhao Wu slowly replied: You can continue to live in Kasuocho, and Meng Xianzi can receive goods for you. I promised you.

Zhao Wu's words mean that he agrees to be the diplomatic agent of Lu State, which is not free.

In this way, with the three desire elite soldiers he received privately and becoming the diplomatic agent of Lu, Zhao Wu received all the high-quality assets with the most profitable quality in the three desire industry, although he had never divided up a piece of San Shao's territory.

All this is done quietly.

Those who engage in secret diplomacy are all versatile people. Although Zhao Wu did not express his affirmative statement in a single word, Lu Shaoji had already understood what Zhao Wu meant. After she bowed, she said something in her words: Wu Zi is kind and willing to accept me, the wife of the former enemy, and also help the former enemy return to the ranks of nobles. The ancient wise men said that repaying grievances with virtue was just such a little girl today. Today, she saw the legendary benevolent man.

However, today is the last time that the little girl came to the door in the name of the widow of the Bun family. In the future, I will be the one who relies on Zhao family to survive. I swept the bed day and night, hoping that Wu Zi will have time to come.

Zhao Wu replied word by word: I can, but I hope I will never see you at home in the future

This actually means: I will go to you if there is something, but you are forbidden to step onto the threshold of my house.

Zhiji was very satisfied with this sentence. After Lu Shaoji left, Zhiji was still thinking about how to repay Zheng Jia, and muttered in a low voice: This woman was covered in fox smell. No wonder Shao Zhi, who was talented at the beginning, was confused by her. The husband did not let her come to the door, but I still have to repay Guo Jia’s affairs for my father, how should I sit there?

Xun Ji was not concerned about her affairs and was relatively sober. She giggled and said: Although the husband master had a grudge against San Shao, the husband was willing to give Lu Yuji a share alone. I believe that the descendants of Hu Wenzi would be as safe as Mount Tai.

What does it mean to kill two birds with one stone? Lu Shaoji's behavior is to kill two birds with one stone. Well, maybe a stone hits several birds.

Lu Shaoji demanded return with his kindness against Miss Shan, and then involved Zheng Jia, forcing Zhao Wu to respond. In this way, Zhao Wu divided the market share for Lu Shaoji separately, which was later contemptuous. The second minister of Jin State, deputy general of the second commander, and the second commander of the second commander of the throne, was the second commander of the throne.

Later, Lu Yuji appeared as Zheng Jia's agent. On the surface, Zhao Wu and Xun Ying came forward to interact with Lu Shaoji and supported her business dealings. This twists and turns completely concealed Lu Shaoji's real purpose. At the same time, it also made people confused and dared not attack Lu Shaoji, who did not dare to represent the remaining forces of San Yu.

At the same time, on the surface, Zhao Wu and Xun Ying were trying to repay their kindness. All diplomatic transactions were covered in normal cargo transportation, and they stood firm in both moral and justice. Even if the current monarch Duke Dao tried his best to eliminate the phenomenon of foreign diplomatic agents at home, he seemed to be unable to find any mistakes about Zhao Wu.

In this way, Shao Wen's family was as peaceful as Mount Tai, Zheng Jia got a business opportunity, and Zhao Wu received three Shao pieces and no one noticed the results. Even Zhiji and Xun Ji only saw the surface, but no one paid attention to the hidden content.

Zhao Wu shook his head sincerely and said with a simple face: I have finally revenged my enemies with kindness. What do you think I did? Can you find someone so generous in the world?

Ji Ji hadn't answered yet, and Miss Shan replied loudly: Renye, the man I like is indeed a great hero. My vision is really good. Fortunately, I didn't hesitate at the beginning.

Zhao Wu waved his hand and walked towards the room while answering depressedly: What a kindness, maybe others think I am easy to bully. If you bully it casually, not only will it not cause revenge, but you will get rewards.

What's the matter with this?

At the entrance of the bedroom in the front yard, Zhao Qiaoren smiled and hugged the child to greet the door. She was holding Zhao Wu, and her legitimate son Zhao Cheng was held by another palace maid.

It was windy in spring and the child was not greeted at the gate of the yard. Look at the attitude, just when Zhao Wuwang arrived at the door, the women carried the child out of the house and greeted him at the door.

Zhao Wu pinched the faces of the two children, and then remembered his new gains. He turned to Zhiji and said: I forgot to tell you that the king has transferred Huocheng to me. From now on, I will officially have three territories, but unfortunately I only have two children.

When Zhiji heard this, she smiled: Husband, we have finished breastfeeding. In the future, we should give birth to more children for the Husband. Husband should also bring back more fiefdoms, otherwise there will be no enough children if there are too many children.

There was no fertility in the Spring and Autumn Period. The breastfeeding period of mothers and children reached two long years. Zhiji and the others had not yet reached the end of breastfeeding, but perhaps the arrival of Dan Girl made them feel threatened, so they ended breastfeeding early.

Zhao Wu understood Zhiji's intention, and he turned around and called Miss Shan to the table together: Come, sit, my meal rules are different from those of outsiders, and they are all sitting on the table.

The meal was enjoyable, Zhao Wu returned home with a full load, and his body and mind were particularly relaxed,

The next day, Zhao Wu issued incentive measures, and many commendable warriors obtained new arable land outside Huo City, which made the Zhao family the first to extend the feudal system to the samurai class among the countries.

Of course, the new fiefdom obtained by the warriors was only on paper. However, after the Jia family cleared the land, the warriors also recognized that this kind of arable land on paper was not over and they took the lead in planning their own sealed operations. Many warriors submitted applications to their families, requiring them to receive corresponding farm tools, and then they rushed to the city to repair the city in groups and generously purchased slaves in batches in the largest slave market in Jin State. Then, before Zhao Wu officially accepted the new territory, they organized a mighty colonial army and headed to the north of Huocheng to reclamation in advance.

In March, Shi Ruo brought the monarch's documents and personally accompanied Zhao Wu to Huocheng to receive the territory.

Shi Ruo was the authentic heir to the Shi clan's clan. He was the same generation as Fan Zi. His uncle Fan was Fan Zi's father. Among them, Shi Se was the Fan family, Shi Jing was the enemy Yuan family, and Shi Wu's branch inherited the family name of Shi and became the hereditary judge of Jin State, so he was a descendant of the authentic Judicial Master.

Shisou is a humble gentleman. Although the child Shi Xun he taught was strong and domineering, he was a person like Wei Xiang in his personality. He was both literary and wise, but the weak Shishu had a very strong military habit. Along the way, the official never refused to take off his armor. He sat on his chariot in a proper manner, and his every move was completely in line with the etiquette of aristocratic.

Zhao Wu did not ride a chariot, he accompanied him with five hundred cavalry, two thousand halberd infantry and two thousand archers.

Zhao Wu's war horse did not walk fast. In order to keep up with the chariot, he also slowed down the cavalry, which just made the infantry follow the team slowly.

Do you know that adults often came to Zhao to harass them. The mountains near Huocheng are rugged and the chariots are difficult to run, so it is very troublesome to clear adults. For this reason, Zhaocheng had to change the main force to pursue and suppress the enemy into a cavalry, which achieved victory against adults. Zhao Wu bent over and explained to Shiwei on the war.

The weak man looked relaxed, and he rolled his eyes: Wuzi, it is your credit to change the chariots from Zhao's chariots to cavalrymen; but it is not your credit to Jin State for giving up the chariots as the main force to pursue adults, but it is not your credit to Wei Qi. It was Wei Qi who persuaded the king to give up the chariots, and the soldiers were unwilling to leave the chariots to fight. Wei Qi implemented military laws and killed more than 50 leben, which completed the military reform.

Zhao Wu looked innocent: The weak man knows this, then why did you go to Huocheng? You still have to take a chariot.

Shi Lu curled his lips: I don’t want to steal the limelight from Zhao’s family? You Zhao’s family’s skill is not enough to ride a horse. Besides, let me ride a horse like a embarrassed traveler, and also have the face of a husband. When people saw my appearance, they couldn’t help but think that my Jin State was not worthy of being a judge for years of war. In this way, wouldn’t adults underestimate the show?

After Shiluo.com finished speaking, a team of adults came from inside. The team was fully armed, waving the horse whip all the way, sang loudly all the way, flags fluttering, and arrogance was very arrogant.

Shi Ruo jumped up and reached out to draw the bow and arrow from the bow bag of the chariot to be on guard. But he turned his face and felt that Zhao Bing disagreed with the adults coming inside. Their casual attitude made the official embarrassed about his excessive nervousness. He turned his hand and presented the bow to Zhao Wu, concealing: I heard that Zhao's ability to make bows and arrows is no less than that of Han. You, the master craftsman who compiles the 100-meter instrument catalog, help me see how this bow is like.

Zhao Wu took a casual look and praised him casually: Judge Hu's bow is indeed the number one in the middle school.

Shi Lu curled his lips: Okay, Xiao Wu, don’t come and give me a perfunctory bow, can you give Wei Lie the bow you gave me?

Zhao Wu smiled awkwardly.

After all, the most concerned thing about the weak is not his bow and arrow. He inserted the bow back into the bow bag and pointed at the adult who had just passed by and asked: Why did the brigade of adults pass through Huocheng and have arrived near Zhaocheng? You Zhaocheng soldiers are not alert at all. Have the adults given up their habit of plundering now?

Zhao Wu smiled coldly. He looked at the group of adults and greeted the adult team. He replied to Shiluo: Dogs cannot change their shit. It is harder to make adults give up their habit of plundering than to fill the sea. But this group of adults no longer belongs to the adult tribe. They are my Zhao family's horse shepherd tribe, which specializes in her horses for me. They drive the horses and horses. They are also my Zhao family's horses. You haven't seen the Zhao family's name and their swords.

Shi Lu looked carefully and replied in surprise: Yes, although the scimitar on their bodies is a crank, and the head is carved with a bird's head. This is your sword-casting craft - Wuzi. When did you turn adults into your own shepherd slave?

Zhao Wu corrected: It is not a shepherd slave, but a shepherd. They are not slaves, and I buy all the horses they grazed at normal prices, so I have an equal relationship with them in a fair deal.

Shiruo looked at the adults driving the horses and passed by them. He asked worriedly: Fair trade, you asked them to go to Zhaocheng to trade. These adults are arrogant and let them enter Zhaocheng. Are you relieved?

Immediately, Shi Ruo smiled again: I forgot that you have moved all the market out of the city and placed it in seven cities and towns.

Zhao Wu added: That's right, I won't have to worry about them even more when I accept Huo Cheng. To be honest, I really hope that they will cause trouble in Zhaocheng, so that I can block Huo Cheng at the entrance of the gorge and move the cavalry to arrest them. Afterwards, they can confiscate their property reasonably and legally.

Shi Lu nodded and agreed: That's right, I, Jin State, have ever been afraid of anyone like a group of adults who want to cause trouble, so that's not asking for death.

In fact, Shi Ruo ignored a crucial issue in his conversation with Zhao Wu just now: the Rong people lived in the Taiyuan Basin north of Huocheng. Zhao Wu had not accepted Huocheng yet, but an adult tribe had already joined him and began to shed horses for Zhao's family in the Taiyuan Basin. This shows that Zhao Cheng's power had long passed Huocheng and reached the adult territory.

It is not a matter of one or two to recruit an adult tribe. This group of adults is familiar with walking on the road leading to Zhaocheng market, which also means that Zhao Wu’s covet Huocheng is not a matter of one or two to a matter of one or two to a matter of one or two to a matter of one or two to a matter of one or two to a matter of being conferred on Huocheng before the king had already attacked Huocheng.

This is a deviant behavior.

A weak scholar is an official, so he is in charge of such a matter of borrowing and brinking.

The weak man didn't care because Huo Cheng has now returned to Zhao Wu, and Huo Cheng did not make any statement before. How can he pursue the past?

Therefore, Shi Lu didn't care about Yan Wu's early sneaking.

The defenders of Huocheng had already received news from the middle school of the country. In the south gate of Huocheng, Huoda knelt down to welcome the new lord. He respectfully presented the key to Huocheng gate to Zhao Wu and solemnly swear: I, Huoda, swore to be loyal to Zhao Wu, the son of his master Zhao Shuo. As a vassal, I will never violate the master. I will be your loyal assistant. As long as my power allows, I will give you advice and help with my duties and myself, and will never deceive or rebel, so that you can maintain and implement the authority given to you by the king.

Zhao Wu, in accordance with the rules, gave Huo Da a set of clothes, a jade utensil and an iron coin. He solemnly accepted Huo Da's surrender and declared: I, the grandson of Zhao Dun, the son of Zhao Shuo, and the current owner of the new army of the Jin State, Zhao Wu, recognizes your jurisdiction, gives you the jade utensil and sword to prove the power you have, and gives you the iron coin to recognize your judicial rights in the territory.

Giving vassals a sword was a feudal custom in the Spring and Autumn Period. Its meaning is: swords, shoes and cranes are inferior. The tigers and men say that swords are also rituals and music records, which means that the swords were a symbol of status in the Spring and Autumn Period and recognized the status of the other vassals.

Giving the other party's iron coins means the king's system: giving the other party a bow and arrow and then pursuing, and then pursuing the iron coins and then killing. This means admitting that the other party has judicial power in the territory, and that it can be directly judged and killed without passing the superior lord.

The vassals were given crowns and clothes, and the jade sword represented the highest ownership of the distributor, but this power was not infinite. As the lord of Huocheng, Zhao Wu must also reiterate his three major obligations: I swear that as the lord of Huocheng, I will do my best to protect the safety of the people of Huocheng; respect the possession of property by the people of Huocheng; at the same time, I admit that the vassal of Huocheng has the right to jury, and when they violate the law, I will never judge them alone.

Speaking of the jury power of the vassal, when the third one was about to be assassinated, Chang Yujiao made a profit and asked Erwei to be interrogated in court, and then took the opportunity of the jury to approach Erqi to show the assassination operation.

Jury is the power of feudal vassals, and then the right to defend the right is exhibited. The early jury was actually equivalent to the right to defend. If a vassal was committed, he could ask witnesses to appear in court to testify for themselves at critical moments. Moreover, without committing a crime, they also have the right to participate in the trial and determine whether the suspect is guilty. The leader among these juries is called the magistrate.

After completing the etiquette, Huo Da made way. He led the warriors in the city to kneel on the side of the road again. The weak soldiers parked the chariot on the other side of the road and asked Zhao Wu to go first. Zhao Wu was not polite. He had this power to enter the city first.

Upon climbing the wall of Huocheng, Zhao Wu inspected and shook his head and said: This wall is not as good as my Zhaocheng.

Shi Ruo smiled: Xiao Wu is not good at using your Zhaocheng city wall to compare with you. I heard that the king has complained several times, saying that the walls of your Zhaocheng city are built more powerful than those of the capital.

Huocheng is a small city. Although its walls are broken, adults have not been broken in two hundred years. There are hundreds of thousands of adult corpses buried under this wall. How can you think it is broken?

Huo Da smiled and explained: I, Huocheng, have been waiting for people to take over for many years. This place was originally the Sanyu territory, but San Shao was unwilling to ask for it in the end. After they moved all the young and strong people in the territory, they returned the territory to the king. The king later transferred Huocheng to three times, but the recipients were unwilling to ask for Huocheng every time. After all, there was little farmland here, and they faced continuous attacks and looting from adults. It cost a lot to defend, but the income was very small.

Speaking of which, Zhaocheng is the happiest for the people of Huocheng to take over us. Not to mention that Zhaocheng is close to Huocheng, it has the convenience of military support. However, Zhaocheng's exhibition in recent years has made the people of Huocheng envious of Zhaocheng's equally little arable land, but Zhaocheng can breed wild fruits and brew wine in the mountains, and dig out treasures from the mountains without profits. When Zhaocheng can display it like this, I, Huocheng, have hope.

However, after a look, we asked us to give up all the arable land. In the future, we will build a Da Xiao Pass to support ourselves by collecting tolls. We are a little nervous that the arable land is gone. How can the people provide food for food?

Zhao Wu waved his hand and replied: The arable land around Huocheng is not to be distributed to the people of Zhaocheng. The people of Zhaocheng will not come to occupy Huocheng's land. I plan to abolish the public fields under the public fields under the serf commune system, also called public fields under the people's commune system, and rent all the fields to the people in the form of land rent. I call this new system the rent system.

However, although the Huocheng public fields were vacant, the local people did not make any contribution to my Zhao family, so I couldn't continue to reward them. When the Huocheng people made contributions, I would then share the fields to them.

Shi Ruo looked at Zhao Wu, his lips squirmed for a moment, and Zhao Wu immediately woke up and added: Of course, the officials of Huocheng have also made contributions to guarding the border before. I will first reward some land to the warriors and officials. Let me report a list and find Qi Ce to verify their defensive merits. I plan to take out 20% of the land to reward Huocheng officials, and keep the other land and rent it to those who are capable of farming, and then gradually reward and enfeoffment based on merit.

Huo Da was overjoyed and asked quickly: Lord, I heard that you have returned from the battle online. I don’t know if we have any chance to go to the battle this year. I don’t have many other warriors in Huo City, but there are more warriors. We can send out three thousand warriors to participate in the war. The number is because Huo City needs at least five thousand warriors to stay.

Zhao Wu immediately became interested: Not bad, although Huo Cheng is small, the number of warriors he owns is actually better than that of me, Zhao Cheng. Who would say that Huo Cheng is addicted to poverty, I am anxious with him.

Shi Lu finally got the opportunity to speak. He laughed and said: Huocheng is a military city after all, and there is nothing here, but there is no shortage of warriors. Now these warriors have the weapons and equipment of your Zhao family, and it is conceivable to increase their combat effectiveness by one level. The king’s meaning is: Huocheng must leave half of its troops to guard.

Of course, this will be your territory in the future. If Huocheng is compromised, the responsibility lies with you Xiaowu, so I won’t talk about what to do.

Zhao Wu frowned: I am afraid I can't do it if I take out eight thousand weapons and armor at once. But I can first arm two thousand people. Let's do it. The newly armed two thousand people will keep the city guarding, and I will allocate five hundred cavalry to guard Huocheng. Huocheng will send out three thousand people as auxiliary soldiers. If the auxiliary soldiers have military achievements, they will become regular soldiers.

Huo Daqiang argued: Lord, you are cutting the army cortex. We used to be the regular soldiers guarding the frontier. Let us fight as auxiliary soldiers of the Zhao family. This is too insulting.

Zhao Wu spread his hands: Zhao's family is not well-off, I can't bring out too many weapons and armor

Huo Da followed up and said: The vassals can bring their own weapons and armor, and the lack of quotas can be borrowed from the arsenal. I heard that the master is going to transfer to Shao Siko, and Shao Siko also has his own arsenal.

Zhao Wu still shook his head: You forgot that the soldiers who participated in the war had to bear the food and supplies for six months. Huocheng had just been named in my name, and I still wanted to open Huocheng well, so I was unwilling to overwork Huocheng.

Huo Da bowed and continued earnestly: Lord understands me
Chapter completed!
