Today's Gou Jian is not the Gou Jian who worked hard but was still a noble prince who succeeded to the throne at a young age.
Patience is far from being comparable to that of Gou Jian after he matured. Today's Gou Jian lacks the beatings from Fu Chai, so he is far from mature.
For Gou Jian, life has been going smoothly so far.
When he was still young, he became the prince of the Yue Kingdom. Later, at a young age, he became the first monarch, and not long after, he became the Marquis of Yue.
Before becoming a Yuehou, I spent every day hunting, spring outings, and picnics. I lived a very happy life.
After becoming the Marquis of Yue, he finally began to worry about national affairs, but it didn't take long before he met Wen Zhong. Gou Jian was also willing to believe in Wen Zhong and delegated power to Wen Zhong. Wen Zhong helped with many chores, and he immediately felt much more relaxed and returned to his noble manner.
Immediately afterwards, Yancheng's money passed.
Through maritime trade, the country of Yue had accumulated monster corpses, natural materials, and treasures that had lasted for thousands of years. They came to Yancheng one after another and exchanged them for money and resources.
After getting money, Yue State began to develop its territory on a large scale. A large number of forests disappeared, and all the monsters and monsters in the rivers were cleaned up. The mountains were moved and the earth's veins were rearranged.
Today's Yue State has more than 200 counties, two-thirds of which have been developed.
These two-thirds of the land have completed multiple management of topography, topography, and ground veins, and the development level has reached the level of the core counties of Chao Kingdom.
In the past, these counties were very large, but less than 20% of the area was actually developed. Some counties even only developed 10%, and the remaining areas were the territory of monsters and monsters.
In just fifty years, the average development area of these more than 100 counties has reached 70%, and some have even reached 90%.
The most important thing is that more than half of these newly developed sites are led by Goujian, so these sites are now under the direct jurisdiction of Goujian, rather than being enfeoffed to the nobles.
In the past, the territory directly under Gou Jian's jurisdiction accounted for less than half of the entire Yue Kingdom, only 30%.
Therefore, Gou Jian's words were not strong enough at that time.
Today, the land directly under Gou Jian's jurisdiction accounts for up to 70% of all developed land in the entire Yue Kingdom. At this time, Gou Jian can turn over the table anytime and anywhere, not to mention that Gou Jian still has the right to be a monarch.
Now in the Yue Kingdom, Gou Jian's words are true. Who dares to object?
No one dares!
As time goes by, no matter how amazing Gou Jian's ideas are, no one will object to them. This is the so-called power.
Just like before his eyes, Gou Jian was persuaded by the Chu State's envoy and planned to attack the Wu State. After he was tempted, not even Wen Zhong could stop him, let alone other nobles?
"How many benefits did the Chu State promise? Now the Yue State can have an income of tens of trillions a year. With this income, the three families of Han, Zhao, and Wei alone can't even compare to the Yue State in terms of income. There are many big vassal states. Today’s annual income is only a few trillion or ten trillion.”
At this time, shouldn’t it be a good opportunity to farm well?
Taking advantage of the war between Wu and Chu, seize the time to thoroughly develop the remaining dozens of counties in Yue. Then we will conduct a general clean-up of the entire territory and achieve 100% development. Wouldn't this be a better way?
Jiang Hua couldn't understand.
The Yue State has more than 200 counties. Looking at the area, it is much larger than the current Wu State, although the Wu State already has more than 300 counties.
If these more than 200 counties are fully developed, on average, at least half of the land in each county will belong to Gou Jian personally. What an astonishing number this is?
In the counties of Yue State, even half of the land in a county can have an average of 200 million acres, and more than 200 counties can have at least 50 billion acres of land.
Using Yancheng's technology, even if it cannot reach the highest level in Yancheng, it is easy to achieve an output of fifteen stones per mu. One acre of land is worth fifteen hundred dollars a year. Multiply that by fifty billion?
The annual food income alone can reach 75 trillion.
Not 750,000, nor 7.5 billion, but 75 trillion.
Food affects not only food, but also animal husbandry and almost all industries. A good grain harvest is the basis for the development of other industries.
The most important thing is that by then, apart from the complete control of food by Yancheng, the Yue Kingdom will have no other shortcomings.
To be honest, if the Yue State really does this, it will be difficult for Yancheng to annex the Yue State in the future.
Therefore, Jiang Hua supported Gou Jian's crusade against Wu from the bottom of his heart.
Only when Gou Jian attacks the state of Wu will he be destroyed by the state of Wu in the future.
After the fall of the Yue State, Yancheng could obtain these lands from the Wu State in an open and honest manner.
However, superficial work still needs to be done, so Jiang Hua said in confusion: "So, why?"
Wen Zhong thought for a while and said directly: "In addition to canceling all the favors from the Chu State, the Marquis of Chu is also willing to carve up the Wu State with the lord."
"The envoy from the Marquis of Chu said that all the main forces of the Wu State are now within the territory of the Chu State. The envoy from the Marquis of Chu also said that they do not ask the Yue State to send troops immediately, but only ask the Yue State to send troops when the armies of the two sides confront each other in the future."
Hearing this, Jiang Hua nodded slowly.
The co-author was because Gou Jian himself was tempted. After fifty years of hard work, Gou Jian felt that the Yue State was ready again. Gou Jian felt that the Yue State was extremely powerful, and the opportunity had come to attack the Wu State or even destroy the Wu State.
"I wonder if Lord Yan has any idea of attacking the Kingdom of Wu? If so..."
Looking at Wen Zhong's expectant eyes, Jiang Hua shook his head without hesitation: "Yancheng is at war with Qi State, and we won't be able to mobilize our troops for a while."
"Furthermore, Wu's prefecture-level Taoist soldiers shocked the world. Has the Marquis of Yue figured out how to deal with them?"
Hearing this, Wen Zhong smiled: "The prefecture-level Taoist soldiers will be dealt with by the Chu people. This is also a prerequisite for Yue to send troops."
"Currently, the monarch needs a secret batch of supplies and then secretly trains the army."
Hearing this, Jiang Hua didn't want to say anything.
Can you hide it?
Can't hide it!
After a while, Jiang Hua left. When you come here, you just have to reach an intention. Jiang Hua is responsible for making the final decision. We will discuss the specific matters in detail.
After a while, Wen Zhong went to the country's co-governing county and met his old friend Fan Li in the county governor's mansion.
"Young uncle, long time no see."
Fan Li glanced at Wenzhong and sighed: "Yes, long time no see. You are much older now."
I think back then, when the two of them left Chu State together, Wen Zhong was also very high-spirited and pointed the country. But today's Wenzhong looks like a bitter melon face, and his eyes are not as lively as they used to be.
Back then, Wenzhong, you could tell just by looking at his eyes that he was a spirited and confident person. Looking at his eyes at this moment, Wenzhong would only feel that this man seemed very tired, as if he hadn't had a good night's sleep in a long time.
Wen Zhong wanted to speak but stopped, stopped and wanted to. After a long time, he finally just sighed.
As a minister, how could he discuss his lord's faults with others in private?
This is of course inappropriate.
Back then, the two of them felt that the Chu State was too dark, and the nobles could not serve as governors or stand out. So they left Chu State one after another and went to Mingjun.
In the end, Wenzhong chose Yue State and Goujian, Fan Li chose Yancheng and Jiang Hua.
Nowadays, Wen Zhong has become Gou Jian's most trusted person. He is in a high position and has a high position. Logically speaking, his power alone is much greater than that of Fan Li, the prefect of the county who is co-governing the country.
However, the co-governance of the county by the people has admitted a large number of subjugated nobles and descendants of great nobles. The most indispensable thing is money. Although his power is not as good as that of Wen Zhong, Fan Li has realized his dream and is now an innate genius.
In terms of cultivation, Fan Li is even better.
In terms of future, Fan Li may still have a future, but Wenzhong now only feels that the future is dim.
Although Gou Jian can't be called a faint king, he can't be called a wise king either.
But even though Gou Jian had ten thousand faults, he still believed in the genre. Therefore, although Wen Zhong wanted to complain about Gou Jian a lot in his heart and felt that Gou Jian did something wrong, when the words came to his lips, he still couldn't say them out.
"Drink! Drink!"
"Yes, stop saying anything and drink!"
…
Wen Zhong went to drink to relieve his worries, while Jiang Hua took out the Yangzhou tripod and began to deduce the secret of Gou Jian and the secret of Yue.
Extrapolating the future is very common. Therefore, Jiang Hua can too.
After deducing for a while, Jiang Hua gave up a little irritably.
"Sure enough, Gu is not suitable for the detailed work of deducing the secrets of heaven." Thinking of this, Jiang Hua took out the heavenly book.
Over the years, Yancheng has changed the fate of countless people.
Today's Yancheng is already qualified to influence the whole world. Even the Heavenly Book opened many permissions to Jiang Hua, one of which was the deduction method.
Not only can you deduce the future, but you can also check the past. Even what is happening now, the Book of Heaven can also deduce it.
In addition, the Heavenly Book can also deduce exercises and individual things.
The deduction here means that without consuming the power of destiny, Jiang Hua can start the deduction by taking out his magic power and inputting it into the heavenly book.
In the past, when Jiang Hua didn't use the power of fate, the Book of Heaven didn't pay much attention to Jiang Hua.
Now, Jiang Hua can use the Book of Heaven as a treasure of heaven without the power of fate.
It's a pity that Jiang Hua is really not proficient in this aspect, he only has a certain degree of mastery, so although Jiang Hua has input a lot of mana, he still gets nothing.
Immediately, Jiang Hua shook his head: In the past, Jiang Hua was more or less able to deduce the future of the Yue Kingdom. At this moment, after deducing the future of the Yue Kingdom for a long time, there was nothing.
"Tsk tsk, the Yue Kingdom is a high-ranking one. The Marquis of Yue has a big secret and he doesn't want to tell me about it."
"Since the Marquis of Yue can take advantage of the Wu State's main force to attack the Wu State, will he also take advantage of the Yancheng main force to attack Yancheng?" Thinking of this, Jiang Hua's face turned dark.
In today's Yancheng, there are no real-level masters on the surface (in fact, there are already).
In Yancheng today, there are no prefecture-level Taoist soldiers on the surface (in fact, there are already).
Today's Yancheng is not as big as Wu Guo on the surface.
If at this time, the main force of Yancheng went to fight a naval battle with the Tian family, and by the way joined forces with Lu, Yan and other countries to fight against Qi, then would the target of Yue's theft be changed to Yancheng?
I even thought in the dark, how could the little Yue Kingdom block the secrets of the Book of Heaven and make Jiang Hua unable to calculate anything at this moment?
Looking at the Yangzhou Cauldron in front of him, Jiang Hua felt a little confused.
"Yancheng has finally entered the world's chess game. Every move is involuntarily made by one's own control!"
Yancheng is scheming against the Tian family and trying to rob Jiuding, and when scheming against the Yue Kingdom, hey, maybe the Yue Kingdom and the Wu Kingdom are also thinking of joining forces to rob Yancheng!
Thinking of this, Jiang Hua planned to hold a high-level meeting to discuss the possibility that the Yue State suddenly turned its guns and joined forces with the Wu State to attack Yancheng. Regardless of whether it will happen in the end, be prepared first, or put on a show in Yancheng and come fishing to see if you can catch Gou Jian.
If it can be caught, Yancheng can legitimately destroy the Yue Kingdom, why not do it?
