He left the Zhao palace that night, but the next day, Zhang Qi quietly took a few guards to train Liu Pengzu.
Regarding the refugees, there are still some things to discuss.
Zhaowang palace study room.
Liu Pengzu brought his staff Fan Jing and several dead soldiers Wang Wei to meet Zhang Qi.
"Qi'er, why are you looking for this king today? You also know that it is not appropriate for us to have more contact now."
"My son knew this, so he came quietly. He came to see his father because he had something to discuss."
"Well, take a seat first, Fan Jing will prepare some food and wine."
"promise."
Fan Jing bowed and left.
Zhang Qi also sat down at the bottom, guarded by several guards.
"Qi'er, tell me, what's the matter?"
Liu Pengzu waved his hand and asked several Wang Wei to go out to guard and drive away the idle people.
Zhang Qi raised his hand.
"It's about the refugees. Father, the land route from Zhao to Liaodong is too far, and it's easy to expose one's mistakes, but if we can take the water route."
"My son has been engaged in water transportation in recent years, so Liao's ships have made great progress. A Liao-style ship can carry eight hundred people in a round trip. If it is crowded, a thousand people are also feasible. "
"Nowadays, there are more than 800 Liaodi standard ships. In addition to daily use, 500 ships can be mobilized to transport more than 500,000 people at a time. Of course, so many cannot be used. It takes time to gather the refugees, and the waterways in Handan are too large. It’s too narrow and my big ship can’t sail in.”
"So I was thinking about whether I could let my father gather the refugees around Handan and use work as relief for them to repair the waterways. In this way, my father's Zhao Kingdom and my son's Liao Land could be connected.
As long as several important waterway hub passes such as Bohai County, Jinan County, and Xindu County are opened, the Liao Dynasty will be able to be integrated with Zhao Guocheng! "
"At that time, when the father and the king gain strength, the sons and ministers will be able to conquer the above counties in one fell swoop."
Zhang Qi knelt down on the couch and talked about the thoughts he had thought about last night.
He was thinking about Zhao Guo, but he couldn't take action now.
Therefore, it is better to let Zhao Guo open up his future attack route on his own.
What is free prostitution? This is it.
You gather the refugees for me first, and after that you help me raise them for a while, and while you are raising them, you can make the rivers clear.
One stone kills many birds.
Liu Pengzu thought intently.
What Zhang Qi described made his heart surge.
But the wine had not yet been served, so he did not respond immediately, but was calculating the gains and losses.
It was bitterly cold in Liao, so Zhang Qi needed help from him for food and grass.
He was able to limit most of Zhang Qi's abilities.
But as he said, if the river can be dredged and large ships can be used, then Julu, Jinan, Xindu, and Bohai counties can be included in the territory.
In this way, if Zhang Qi obtains sufficient food and grass, the importance of Zhao State to him will be much smaller.
A change of mind.
Liu Pengzu nodded.
"What Qi'er said is absolutely true. The process of collecting the refugees has already begun. When the first batch of refugees arrive in Zhao Kingdom, I will ask them to start combing the river and widening it."
Yes.
Liu Pengzu agreed.
Since it is disadvantageous for Zhang Qi to obtain enough food and grass, then just let his food and grass become insufficient.
Now that the two families have just formed an alliance, it is not appropriate to harm both parties.
Therefore, Liu Pengzu planned to use refugees to contain Zhang Qi's actions.
A large population is not necessarily a good thing.
If you cannot feed the people under your rule, they will become a burden to you and occupy a lot of your attention.
How did the bandits come here? Isn't it just because they didn't have enough to eat?
Even wealthy counties and counties will close their city gates tightly once they encounter natural disasters and refugees spread everywhere, and let the refugees go away. As for Liao Land, what will happen if there is not enough food?
How much food can be produced in Liaodi?
For decades, the total population of Liao District has not exceeded 200,000, which is already the limit.
As long as the Zhao State exerts its efforts and sends more refugees to Liao, Zhang Qi will not be able to break his alliance with him.
It can also highlight the importance of Zhao in the alliance, because Liao is inseparable from Zhao's supply.
It has to be said that Liu Pengzu is very resourceful and can understand all the keys in just a few breaths.
Food is the foundation of everything. If Zhao has food, it is in a dominant position. If Liao has no food, it will obey orders.
Zhang Qi was ambitious and wanted to build a country. Liu Pengzu would not think anything of it, but would support him.
Because of the hardship in Liao, Fuyu, Sushen, Wuhuan and Xianbei in the east and north of Korea were also a problem. During the Qin Dynasty, a large number of Chu nobles entered Korea, and now they are also watching the Han border.
If there is a country that can serve as a buffer in the middle, it will also be beneficial to his future rise to power.
Wanting to found a country is both Zhang Qi's ambition and his weakness.
As long as they can control food and grass, Zhang Qi's country will not be a problem.
Soldiers, Liu Pengzu thought in his mind.
It seems that the royal guards are going to practice again.
After the Seventh King, the court was very wary of the military power of the vassal states, but the palace guards could also do some tricks to train more than a thousand royal guards and train them into elite soldiers. When the day came to rise, these more than a thousand people would be pulled out. An army of tens of thousands is not difficult.
Liu Pengzu could only see this due to the limitations of the times.
In his view, fighting means fighting people, as long as there are more people and equipment.
And Zhao State has no shortage of these.
When the important grain-producing land is captured by then, there is no fear that Zhang Qi will not continue to obey his orders.
"Father is benevolent and righteous!"
When he heard Liu Pengzu agreed, Zhang Qi was overjoyed and bowed his hands in salute.
And Liu Pengzu also waved his hand boldly.
"Hey, we are all one family. No matter how two families talk, the stronger Qi'er's power is, the stronger Zhao Guo's power will be."
"Hahaha." X2
The two looked at each other and smiled, and the atmosphere was harmonious for a while.
At this time, Fan Jing also brought food and wine.
While eating, the two of them talked in detail about the widening of the river. There was a branch outside Handan City, flowing from northwest to southeast and joining the main river.
What needs to be widened is this diversion, and a place must be found to build a dock to facilitate transportation.
This conversation lasted half a day.
When Zhang Qi came out of the palace again, the moon was already high.
On the streets of Handan.
The smile on Zhang Qi's face never faded.
The original intention of coming to Zhao country this time was to marry Qing Ling.
However, after contacting Liu Pengzu and combining history with Liu Pengzu himself, Zhang Qi was keenly aware of the unwillingness in Zhao Guo's heart.
After trying it for a while, I unexpectedly got an unexpected reward.
Winter will come in a few months. Next year, the Han army will attack the Hexi Corridor. If they capture Juyanze, the Huns' supply package will be gone, and the Western Region will fall under the control of the Han Dynasty.
At that time, with Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che's methods, he will definitely start a war at the same time, because that is what he did in history.
The Huns, Korea, Vietnam, and barbarians from all directions were almost all targets of his attack. Under the rule of Han Jun Bingfeng, the Huns were driven out of the big screen and huddled back to their hometown in Saibei.
North Korea and Vietnam surrendered one after another.
Incomplete guarantee.
His own Liao land will also be one of his goals.
