Although he knew from Gongzi Min that Jinling had royal aura, Wang Jin did not wholeheartedly pin his dynasty's hegemony on a city in Jinling.
Although Wang Jin's qualifications are not good enough, he has read all the classics in the palace and understands that the king is noble because of his rights, not because of his rights.
Otherwise, Emperor Zhou would not be like this.
The Duke of Huai's family has a set of books used to train the children of the family, and all the children of the clan must go through systematic study. It can be guaranteed that even if the eldest son unfortunately dies in infancy, the second son will still be qualified to assume the position of king.
Of course, in addition to the necessary courses for the public family, all the children of the public family need to go to the academy to study with the public family to enhance the friendship between the public family and the public family. Because the Dukes of the Huai Kingdom are also protected by the Huai Kingdom's Luck Black Bird, the Dukes of the Huai Kingdom will basically not betray the official family.
The academy's courses are clearly divided. You don't need to master them all. You only need to study a few. Of course, some geniuses will choose to study more subjects.
The Huai State was prosperous and vigorously developed industry and commerce. Part of the wealth gained was used to maintain the elite of the elite such as the Tengjia Army and the Yulin Guard, and the other part was used for the education of the public offices and clans, and for Enjoy very little of the above.
Huaiguo has had a sense of crisis since its establishment.
After being educated by the public office, even if Huaijun is just a middle-aged man, he will not perform all kinds of suffocating operations.
What's more, there is an ancestor named Zijue. If the descendant is too outrageous, the wake-up setting set by Zijue will wake him up from his slumber, and then he will decide whether to change the successor.
When he decided to build Jinling, Wang Jin did not directly carry out large-scale construction. The land around Jinling was almost undeveloped and there were many barbarians in the mountains. The money and energy required to build a big city here could directly bring down the current Huai Kingdom.
According to Wang Jin's idea, it is to expand the original Jinling city, and then continue to immigrate for a long time, and send troops to clear out the surrounding barbarians. It may take tens to hundreds of years before Jinling can become the foundation.
Wang Jin was the first batch to dispatch all the heavy-duty prisoners in the country's prisons to Jinling, and let these people build Jinling and open up wasteland. After all, most of the heavy-duty prisoners were sentenced to death or sentenced to thousands of miles of imprisonment, so sending them to Jinling was a good use of waste.
After deciding to build Jinling, Wang Jin came to the ancestral temple alone, ready to ask his ancestors if there was anything special about Jinling City.
Wang Jin respectfully lit the incense and then began to pray to his ancestors. Wang Jin was very lucky, this time he happened to catch Zi Jue waking up.
Most of the time, Zijue is in a deep sleep state. After all, sleeping helps to increase the strength of his soul. Only when major historical events occur will Zijue wake up. Or Zijue will wake up after some people he is interested in appear.
Zi Jue woke up just at this time, and Zi Jue's shadow appeared in mid-air.
"Ancestor, you answered me!"
"Jin, you're here to ask if Jinling has a royal spirit, right?" Zijue said.
"Yes, the alchemist An Shangqiao said that this place has a royal aura. I sent people to see it. There is indeed a mountain peak south of Jinling City with purple light rising into the sky and auspicious clouds covering it." Wang Jin said.
Zijue said calmly: "Jinling does have a royal aura."
When Wang Jin heard this, he suddenly felt happy. Then Zi Jue continued: "Luoyi also has a kingly spirit, but what do you think of the Emperor Zhou now?"
"If you don't have strength, what if you occupy the land of kingly aura?"
"Ancestor, I understand!" Wang Jin nodded and said respectfully.
Zijue's figure disappeared immediately.
After getting the answer from his ancestors, Wang Jin also had a way to deal with Jinling. He did not rush to develop it, but developed the newly acquired Chao Kingdom step by step.
After taking control of the Chao Kingdom, the Huai Kingdom had actually obtained a bridgehead for development to the Han River Plain in the west. To the east of the Huai Kingdom is the sea, and to the south is the barbarian land of the Yue Kingdom. If you want to develop and grow, you can only develop west and north.
To develop northward, you need to face the Xia Fang Kingdoms. Although these Fang Kingdoms are separated into two
None of them are rivals of Huai State, but if Qi or Jin are allowed to unite more than a dozen Fang States, Huai State will be under great pressure.
Huai State was able to defeat Qi State and Jin State before because Huai State was defensive and Qi Jin was offensive. Moreover, these princes were not united. The war took place in Huai State, which allowed Huai State to win. But if Huai State were to attack instead, the princes of the Central Plains would definitely resist desperately, and Huai State would have to worry about being cut off when sending troops.
Going north is not a good choice at this time. Only when these vassal states continue to degenerate will Huai State have a chance.
Now is not the time to go north, so if you want to grow, you can only go west.
However, it is not easy to move westward. The behemoth Chu State is entrenched in the Han River Plain and the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River. Although Huai State defeated Chu State several times, it was not easy to conquer Chu State. But it is still simpler than attacking and destroying the countries in the Central Plains.
In the following time, the Huai Kingdom did not cause any friction with the northern princes, but focused on digesting the Chao Kingdom. The Jin State was at odds with the Qin State. After Duke Wen of Jin passed away, Qin began to plot to move eastward. .q.
However, the way out to the east was blocked by the State of Jin. The State of Qin took advantage of the death of Jin Wen Gong to seize Weihan, but was defeated by Jin Xianggong.
After Duke Wen of Jin, Duke Xianggong of Jin came to dominate the Kingdom of Jin. However, Duke Xianggang of Jin was short-lived and died after being the Marquis of Jin for seven years. Now it is Duke Xianggang of Jin's son who inherits the position of Marquis of Jin. It's just that now, the six ministers of the Jin Kingdom are already in a situation where they can't lose their tails.
Although the Marquis of Jin was young, with the cooperation of the six ministers of the Jin State, the Jin State still suppressed the north.
Although the Huai State did not intend to advance northward, it was still happy to cause some trouble for the Jin State. Wang Jin sent a caravan to Jin and began to establish an intelligence network in Jin.
The system of the Jin State has serious flaws from the beginning. If the king is wise and the six ministers obey their orders, the Jin State will of course be prosperous and invincible. But if the king is fatuous and the six ministers have other ideas, the six ministers will become bigger. The king became weak and his ministers were strong, and in the end, the Marquis of Jin became a puppet in the hands of the Six Ministers.
But can you expect every monarch to be wise? This is almost impossible. Even if the Huai Kingdom has the protection of Zijue and the blessing of Xuannio's luck, there are several generations of monarchs who are just middlemen, let alone the Jin Kingdom.
The secret guard sent by Wang Jin was to sow distrust between the Marquis of Jin and the Six Ministers, so that the Marquis of Jin and the Six Ministers would not trust each other. In this way, the Kingdom of Jin would fall into civil strife and its national power would gradually decline. After spending a lot of money and goods, Huai's secret guards finally took root in Jin and then grew quietly.
