I’m The King Chapter 1280: : Where is the way forward (170)?
Qu Zhong took a deep breath, "Although this is just your guess, I think you must have started to make some arrangements for this. Some time ago, you sent Zhao Lin to Yingchuan to meet Tan Feng. For this matter?"
Huang Xie smiled, "I can't hide it from you. You can see the real purpose of Zhao Lin's going to Yingchuan at a glance. Yes, I am making arrangements for this. Zhao Lin went to Yingchuan just to test it out. Tan Feng."
Qu Zhong frowned, "Are you trying to win Tan Feng into my use? To be honest, I have reservations about this. I don't like Tan Feng. Although he is talented, he has no virtue. Capricious, born with rebellious bones in the back of the head, an outright egoist, if you win over this person, you may be feeding a tiger and hurting yourself."
"{Pig}Pig Island{Xiao} said 3. Zhu, I also feel the same way about this. Tan Feng is just like the evaluation given by the Taiwei, but for us, as long as he has talent , as long as he can be used by us, whether he is virtuous or not is none of my business."
"Purely just to use?" Qu Zhong asked.
"Of course." Huang Xie nodded and said, "Tan Feng is a talented person. It's not necessarily that he didn't notice Lu Chao's actions, but he didn't say a word. When Ying Chuan supported him, Fan Sui returned to Xianyang and sent soldiers to **** him at the risk of offending Lu Chao. Do you think he is impartial? Anyway, I don’t believe it.”
Qing Zhong was a little dumbfounded.
"In Yingchuan, Tan Feng used Fan Sui's name to vigorously carry out reforms. Sweeping everything away made him achieve what he is today in Yingchuan. Do you know what Zhao Lin saw when he went to Yingchuan? The economic ties between Yingchuan and the Han Kingdom under Tan Feng’s rule are extremely close. With the flag on the top of the city, Zhao Lin almost thought it was a country. Taking advantage of this convenience, Tan Feng managed Yingchuan Shengsheng as a distribution center connecting Qin and Chu commercial trade, and thus accumulated a large amount of money. The wealth, the money, was turned into military expenses, weapons, and food by Tan Feng. What do you think he wants to do?" Huang Xie sighed.
"What does he want to do?" Qu Zhong asked.
"If Qin's government is clear and the officials are clear, and the generals are united, Tan Feng's move in Yingchuan will be a demonstration area for Fan Sui's reform. It is a model of a strong army, and it will definitely become a model for the King of Qin to set. On the other hand, if The Qin court has collapsed, or as I said before, Lu Chao really has evil intentions, so with the power of Tan Feng, he can advance and attack, and become a powerful force for the court to attack Lu Chao. Retreat and defend, I'm afraid Lu Chao doesn't dare to ignore him, right? If it makes me think more sinister, or if this person wants Qin Ting to fight Lu Chao to the death and life, he will benefit from it? Don't forget Gao Yuan's original How did you get rich? Tan Feng is almost copying Gao Yuan's road to success." Huang Xie raised his head to the sky. "Gao Yuan, Tan Feng, Lu Chao, the heroes of this generation. Why are they all from Yandi?"
Listening to Huang Xie's analysis, Qu Zhong only felt shuddering and sinister. There is no doubt about it.
"So, Tan Feng spared no effort to send Fan Sui back to Xianyang, but he also has his own little thoughts?"
"Does this still need to be said?" Huang Xie smiled and said, "Fan Sui's success in Yingchuan's reform was based on the deterrence of Tan Feng's saber. There is a possibility of success, but if it is put to the whole country of Qin State, I am afraid it will be ashamed. Tan Feng will not be aware of this, only Fan Sui is probably still complacent because of Ying Chuan's success, thinking that he can push it away. Guangzhi, will it be effective for the whole country?"
"Speaking of it this way, isn't Tan Feng more insidious than Lu Chao? And he has done it less conspicuously. Lu Chao has already made it clear that his chariots and horses are fighting against Qin Ting, and Tan Feng, I am afraid that Fan Sui will still Consider him a strong support!"
Huang Xie laughed loudly, "If Fan Sui succeeds, then Tan Feng is indeed his strong support, but if Fan Sui fails, Tan Feng will not be afraid to push him **** the back."
"Such a ruthless person, why do we want to win him over?" Qu Zhong said dissatisfiedly.
"It is because he is so ruthless that I am willing to spend money to win him over. Taiwei, don't you think it is good to use him to deal with Gao Yuan and Han Guo?" Huang Xie smiled and said, "I reckon, Even if the state of Qin collapses by then, this Tan Feng will still be able to live a nourishing life. At that time, the state of Qin will no longer be his backer, and it is absolutely impossible for Tan Feng to bow his knees to Gao Yuan. At that time, he can still live without relying on us. Who do you rely on? He can't be our friend, but do you still mind if he becomes a knife in our hands?" Seeing that Qu Zhong was a little moved, Huang Xie continued: "So now, I am not afraid to use this knife Grind it sharper."
Qu nodded his head, "For the sake of the temple, I am not far away from the first assistant, but Tan Feng is like a double-edged sword, which can hurt the enemy as well as himself, the first assistant needs to be careful." Two."
"Those people in the past were because they didn't understand Tan Feng, including me of course, but now, I have figured out this person thoroughly, and if he wants to be an enemy of me, he will be beyond his control, Taiwei But please don't worry." Huang Xie said proudly.
"These things are free for the chief assistant to worry about. I just need to train my soldiers well." Qu Zhong said.
"But this is the most important part." Huang Xie said: "Say a thousand, say ten thousand, and in the end, you always have to talk on the battlefield, and when you meet in battle, you rely on the Taiwei Well, all I can do, other than these plots and calculations, the rest is to be the chief logistics officer for you, Taiwei. No matter what, I will try my best to satisfy everything the army needs. A strong army is the great Chu The foundation of survival. Otherwise, everything is vain. The Han Dynasty is strong, and its soldiers are invincible. I hope that the Taiwei can change this situation. Everything I do now is for the Taiwei. Get enough time. Two years ago, although we won a round, that round was not enough to change the situation of the enemy being strong and we were weak. On the contrary, it made the Han people more vigilant against us. If the two sides fight again, I'm afraid It's not so easy." Huang Xie sighed, "Our country has been at peace for many years, and even when Qin was at its strongest, he didn't dare to beat me up, the leader of Chu. It's been a long time since peace, and I almost forgot how to fight. Although there are many soldiers, they are large and useless, and they waste money and food. Two years ago, Qu Wan abolished more than half of the local guards in Linyi in one go.
"Shoufu is right. In the past two years, apart from training the new army, one of the things I have done the most is to eliminate the weak and the weak. It is no exaggeration to say that the fighting power of these 300,000 people is far better than the previous million."
"With 300,000 people, how many can be drawn in front of Han?" Huang Xie asked.
Qu Zhong frowned slightly, "Shoufu, the barbarians in the south need to be suppressed by an army, and they are on the border with Qin. I planned to withdraw some of my troops before, but now that you analyze it like this, I'm afraid that side needs to be strengthened. Calculating in this way, there will never be more than 100,000 troops that can be deployed to the opposite side of Han. It is not too late to send generals."
"Sometimes I really admire Gao Yuan. In the territory of Han, apart from the Huns and Donghu, other races are no less than me, but these people are willing to be used by Gao Yuan. , to be his help, but we have to divide our troops to suppress these barbarians, if you are not careful, they will stab you in the back, in terms of the ability to govern the country, Gaoyuan is far superior to me." Huang Xie sighed : "Taiwei, I have carefully studied the lofty way of governing the country. What I get and what I wear are really not worth mentioning, but this is what I absolutely can't do."
"I don't know what the Taiwei got?" Qu Zhong asked curiously: "Since I know its key points, why can't I take its essence and use it for me?"
"Luring them for profit!" Huang Xie said flatly: "To put it bluntly, it is Gao Yuan who makes these people well-fed, warmly dressed, and have money in their pockets. Simple, but I can't do it, I'm so embarrassed It is said to be rich, but the rich and the poor are extremely uneven, and the regional differences are huge. I can't achieve a bowl of water like Gao Yuan. Do you know how much subsidy money the Han Kingdom Center allocates to those remote areas every year? He not only Instead of taxing these places, we can spend money on these places backwards, can we do it?"
Qu Zhong was stunned for a while, but finally shook his head.
"Zhao Lin saw in Yingshui that the local county magistrate gave a monthly subsidy of one yuan to the elderly over the age of 60, two yuan for those over the age of seventy, and three yuan for those over the age of eighty. For our one tael of silver, can we do this?"
Qing Zhong shook his head again.
"The Han State never collects corvees, builds cities and builds roads, and pays for the labor required by the day. Can we do it? Gao Yuan promulgated the Citizenship Law of the Han State. As long as the Han State is borrowing people, regardless of race, All have the same rights, can we do it?"
Qu Zhong's head shook like a rattle.
"Since we can't do it, we have to face up to the gap with them and find ways to make up for it in other ways." Huang Xie sat down, eyes full of worry. "I have met many Han businessmen, and these people are extremely passionate about politics~IndoMTL.com~ In their words, they are all the important affairs of the Han state. In their words, I am secretly shocked by their recognition of their country. It seems unbelievable to us that the people are rich and the country is poor, and I have discussed this matter with these businessmen, and guess what they say?"
"They said that as long as the King of Han needed it, it would not be a pity to ask them to spend all their wealth, because they knew that as long as the Han State was strong, they would be able to earn it back soon. The national bonds issued by the Han State every year, The amount is huge, but we never worry about no one wanting it. If you say we do this once, how many people will trust us and buy these national debts without reservation to share the country's worries?"
Qu Zhong was silent.
"I don't have any hope of defeating Han now. I just hope that we can hold on to this family business." To change, our generation has no hope of defeating Han, but as long as it exists, as long as it is alive, there is still hope, or after the lofty, their kings become fatuous and cruel, and changes occur in Han, then we can see To hope." Huang Xie said a little sadly.
"In that case, where is the way for my great Chu?" Qu Zhong's face was a little miserable.
"Where is the road? The road is in our hands, live and exist!" (to be continued...)
