Da Cang night watchman

Chapter 809 Strategies for Eliminating Osumi
Lin Su's eyes flickered slightly: "If there is no accident, the war will be temporarily suspended."

Li Xiaotian raised his eyes: "Will it be temporarily suspended?"

"Yes, Li Chi is a hero of a generation. He also has rules in his actions. When Ling Dingyang becomes an unbearable burden for him, he will adjust his strategy and will not act rashly."

Li Xiaotian pondered: "This is what you said, mediocre people act, only thinking about what they can and cannot do, and those who are looking for the overall situation act, but also see whether it is worth it or not!"

"Yes! This is also the key reason why I asked you to close the door of negotiation and kill with iron blood!" Lin Su said: "From Li Chi's point of view, he refuses to abandon the old Jin Dynasty and must try to regain the old Jin. If your attitude is a bit loose, he will have illusions, and only the battlefield iron and blood can truly break his illusions and make him face up to the current status quo."

Li Xiaotian's eyes flickered: "Now, has he faced up to the status quo?"

"Look at the problem, and you can know the truth by seeing it! From the dispatch of the Chu army, you can know the autumn by a leaf!" Lin Su said: "The Chu army is the last army in the 23 states in the southern part of Dayu, and it is also a very subtle army. It means that Li Chi has dropped the last pawn in the battle of Ling Ding Yang."

Li Xiaotian frowned: "Subtle?"

Lin Su raised his hand and poured himself another glass of wine. Du Yuting was fascinated for a moment, and without pouring the wine first, he quickly took the wine jar, poured Li Xiaotian a glass, and listened attentively...

Lin Su explained...

Chu Jun is very subtle, where is the subtlety?Its predecessor was actually not the local army of Dasumi. It was an army of Chu State in the past. After the fall of Chu State, this army was incorporated by Dasumi. The seven armies, the three thousand li mountains and rivers in the old Jin Dynasty were under the control of Li Chi, and the Chu army was sandwiched among them, and they couldn't turn the world upside down, so Li Chi didn't care about this army.

But now, the situation has changed drastically, the southern army has disappeared, and the front line of the battlefield has become isolated, and no one in the Chu army can control it.

In this case, this army has become a hidden danger for Li Chi.

There are two ways to dispose.

First, as a forward force, it opened the way for Li Chi's army to open up the old Jin Dynasty.

Second, use the army of the Great Cang to destroy it, eliminate hidden dangers, and set the rear.

Speaking of this, Lin Su asked: "What method do you think Li Chi used?"

"The second type!" Li Xiaotian's eyes brightened.

"Why?"

Li Xiaotian said: "In the early stage, Ling Dingyang had already ruined four armies, each of which was stronger than the Chu army. The Chu army entered alone, and there was no chance of winning. Apart from using the hands of the flying dragon army to destroy it, there is no second reason."

"Exactly!" Lin Su said: "Li Chi is starting to worry about internal hidden dangers, so he will no longer blindly use troops abroad!"

This is a logical judgment!

Although the Chu army was not strong, it was still an army. If Li Chi wanted to retake the old Jin desperately, he would definitely not cut off one of his arms.

He cut it with his hands, indicating that the hidden dangers in him had begun to threaten him.

"Internal hidden dangers..." Li Xiaotian said, "What will it be?"

Lin Sudao: "Da Jin's return, the biggest threat to Da Yu is not only the loss of Jin's three thousand miles of land, but also a terrible chain reaction. If Da Jin can escape, the former Lu, Chu, Han Will there be any dissent? We need to know that these four countries were all captured by Dasumi with iron and blood. Where is there no resentment? Taking the world on his back, but he doesn't know the secret of governing the world at all, the people under his rule have no food to eat, no bed to sleep, people's minds change, and Dayu is full of crises."

Li Xiaotian put down the wine glass in his hand: "This is exactly right! Li Chi is worried that the old Chu will follow the road of restoration of the Great Jin Dynasty, so he disarms the old Chu first, and sends the Chu army to my flying dragon army, so that we can destroy it!"

Du Yuting listened beside him, his heart was surging, and he truly admired the insightful eyes of the two Shangguans in the chaos. No wonder it is said that literati can know the affairs of the world without going out!They judged the movement of Emperor Dayu only by dispatching a Chu army. Who could match this kind of thinking?
Du Yuting spoke up: "My lord, my lord, Dayu's army has been seriously depleted, and now there are many hidden dangers. Can I, Dacang, cross the ocean and decide the northern border with one move?"

That day's Dingbei territory refers to the three thousand miles of the old Jin Dynasty, but today's Dingbei territory refers to the entire Dasumi world.

Lin Su smiled: "General Du wants to pacify the whole Dayu in one fell swoop?"

Du Yuting laughed: "Don't you think so, my lord?"

It was rude of him to ask this question.

Li Xiaotian cast his eyes on Lin Su, he also wanted to know the answer...

From the perspective of a literati, demarcating borders and governing is the righteous way, the way of benevolence and righteousness. When encountering threats to survival, there is no psychological barrier to killing no matter how fiercely, but it is not serious literati to kill them all when they clearly have the upper hand It would be against morality to do so.

Facing the gazes of the two, Lin Su smiled faintly: "From the point of view of literati, we should stop here and let others off the hook; from the point of view of ordinary people, how can we forget the country's hatred and family feud? We are not only literati, we also We are not just ordinary people, but we are still soldiers at this moment! There is only one angle for soldiers—the strategic angle! The strategic angle should be based on history! The thousand-year history of nine countries and thirteen states tells us that in the face of a country based on killing and aggression The country cannot give them a chance to recuperate, once they are merciful, they will breed tigers and become troubles, and the border wars will still lead to disasters and disasters, bringing disaster to all sentient beings!"

Du Yuting and Li Xiaotian's eyes brightened at the same time.

They were worried before.

They worried that Lin Su would be content to rule alone by demarcating the border.

Because this is something that almost all literati in Da Cang would choose.

And the reason is incomparably lofty...

The holy way governs the world, seek benevolence with benevolence!
When encountering a strong enemy, it is right to fight bravely, but you have clearly gained the upper hand, and you have clearly forced the enemy not to dare to cross the threshold. If you don't let go, it is too much.

If you cross Lingdingyang again, what is the difference between you and Osumi in the past?
And so on, every literati and Confucianist can say that they will never cook leftovers for three days and three nights...

However, as border generals and old people from the four towns, they are not happy!
Their loved ones died under the Osumi butcher knife, how could they forget their dying howls?How can we forget the shame of our sisters being insulted and thrown into a well?

Now Lin Su gave a clear attitude.

Osumi, he doesn't intend to let go!
And his reasons are equally strong: let Osumi recuperate, and he will end up raising a tiger into trouble!
With Osumi's heart of a wolf, as long as he is relieved, he will still be the great enemy of Da Cangbei in the future!

Nine countries and thirteen states have learned this painful lesson.

Even the world that Lin Su lived in had the same lesson. In the feudal society, facing the nomads in the north, they tried to make peace with each other. In the end, they grew stronger and killed the Han family. In modern times, for example, the one who lived a good life, after coming out of the shadow of the defeated country, didn't he become less peaceful? ...

The three of them connected with each other, and the topic began to be wild...

At this moment, there was a soft knock on the study door.

Although the Wen Dao was blocked inside and the voices were not connected, the door knocked, and the two people who set the Wen Dao restriction were still alert. Lin Su waved his hand lightly to lift the Wen Dao restriction, and a voice from outside came in: "His Royal Highness, King Wen, There is a businessman named Zhou Zuo, he said that he has some connections with the Lin family, and he wants to see His Highness King Wen, whether His Highness will meet him?"

"Zhou Zuo?" Lin Su frowned slightly: "Where are you from?"

"native!"

Lin Su shook his head: "A local, Zhou Zuo... I don't know him! Where did he come from?"

Before the deputy general outside could speak, Du Yuting replied first: "This man will never know that he is the chairman of the Northern Chamber of Commerce. The Northern Chamber of Commerce is engaged in border business between Dayu and Dacang. Shipping pig iron to Da Cang, and shipping high-end products such as wine and perfume from Da Cang to Osumi. In the past few years, he has made a lot of money. When the border trade stops, he can't bear it the most. In order to let his merchant ships go overseas , During this period of time, I have been trusting people in the city every day, but I didn’t expect that the prince would find him as soon as he arrived, and he dared to make friends with the prince.

As soon as Du Yuting stood up, he was about to go out to chase away people, maybe not just chase away, if he dared to make friends with the prince, he would have to be beaten!

At this moment, Lin Su gently raised his hand: "Let him in!"

Zhou Zuo entered the Commander's Mansion, his chubby body trembled a little, and his chubby face was a little red. When he saw Lin Su, he knelt down and said, "Caomin Zhou Zuo, see the lord! It's a good fortune to be able to see the lord. Lucky to be born..."

"Get up and ask you a few words!"

"Thank you, my lord!" Zhou Zuo stood up.

"what line of business are you in?"

Asking this question immediately ignited Zhou Zuo's confidence...

His business has a long history...

Since his grandfather’s grandfather, it’s been a business…

When Dajin was still a dynasty, his family was doing business, and when Dajin became a land of subjugation, his family was also doing business. Even if the dynasty changed, his family’s business would still be the same. However, when the situation was turbulent, the business had some changes That's all, merchants, they have no self-protection power, so merchants are used to establishing chambers of commerce, and the northern chamber of commerce came into being...

The business of the Northern Chamber of Commerce is all-encompassing. It transports pig iron and fur from Osumi to the south, and grain and silk from the south to the north. This is the most mainstream business of the Northern Chamber of Commerce.

They traveled by shipping, so the Northern Chamber of Commerce had a not-so-small fleet dedicated to traveling to and from Lingdingyang.

This business has been doing very well, especially after the release of various new products of the Lin family, they were shipped to Osumi through their fleet, setting off a wave of waves and making them a lot of money.

What he said before he entered the door had some connection with the Lin family, and he was referring to this...

Say a thousand words and ten thousand things, everything was good in the past, but it is difficult everywhere this year.

Da Cang regained the three thousand miles of mountains and rivers in the old Jin Dynasty, and completely cut off the shipping in Lingdingyang. The business of the Northern Chamber of Commerce was no longer possible. I can't do it, I can't survive, and businesses everywhere have come to a standstill, and the people have been greatly affected...

He said a lot, Lin Su held the teacup in his hand and narrowed his eyes half-closed, as if distracted, Zhou Zuo's heart turned cold when he saw this expression from the corner of his eyes...

However, Lin Su opened his eyes: "Business and trade across Lingdingyang is also possible!"

I rely on!

Everyone's eyes widened at the same time.

Can you open this hole?
Zhou Zuo was surprised and delighted, he couldn't believe his ears...

Lin Su's eyes sank: "The current Lingdingyang is not the Lingdingyang of the past, but the border between the two countries, and the border trade between the two countries. Do you have any objection to the imposition of tariffs?"

Zhou Zuo's heart sank: "Of course I have no objection to the tariff, but I don't know how much it will be paid?"

For business, they see a lot of being blocked and charged. They can accept [-]% to [-]%, but if it is [-]% to [-]%, no one can bear it.

"Let's set prices by category. The highest is no more than [-]%, and the lowest is half! Afterwards, Zhenbeihou will draw up a charter and issue a notice!"

Li Xiaotian stood up straight: "Yes!"

Zhou Zuo thumped and knelt down again, his voice trembling: "Thank you, Lord, thank you!" This tax is not high at all, and it is even more favorable than the most favorable policy he can think of.

Lin Sudao: "Although this king allows goods to pass through the border, there are some restrictions. At this stage, Jin has just experienced war, and a lot of waste is waiting to be rebuilt, and the people are still suffering. Therefore, food, cloth, and coal are not allowed. Export, anyone who exports these three types of materials will mess with our Jin land and will be killed without mercy!"

The fat on Zhou Zuo's face squirmed: "Although these three types of materials are also managed by this club, what the prince said is reasonable. The grassroots must restrain the affiliated chamber of commerce and resolutely not allow 1.1 rice grains, one coal and one cloth to board the ship!"

"Okay, go down, the details are subject to the announcement of the Commander's Mansion!"

"Yes!"

Zhou Zuo kowtowed and left, beaming...

In the air, in the Jiuyin Cauldron, the two women looked at each other...

"Just now they locked themselves in the study room and blocked our monitoring with a literary blockade. It seems that they were discussing some things. Otherwise, why did this sudden change happen?" Liu Tianyin asked.

Feng Wu said: "This is not a big change, is it? He is famous for having the world in his heart. This Fatty Zhou said that it is the needs of thousands of businesses and hundreds of millions of people. I guessed that he would let go of business controls. "

"It seems normal to let go of the business control, but I still feel that there is something wrong with the fact that the matter was done by him," Liu Tianyin said.

Feng Wu shook her head lightly: "I said that you have seen him too much! If you have to find out some reasons, I will give you two reasons... First, he is a businessman himself, wherever he goes, where he is In this land, commerce is booming, as is the case in Haining, Nanshan, and Beichuan. Even his Lin family relied on commerce to rise. In his eyes, commerce is not lowly at all, but a means of getting rich; , There are indeed thousands of merchants behind the commercial chain, and it is indeed related to the livelihood of the people in Jin."

Liu Tianyin's eyes fell: "The two of them were strolling around the city, and once again opened the blockade of Wen Dao. Guess, does this blockade of Wen Dao represent the deeper meaning behind the liberalization of commercial controls?"

Feng Wu glanced at her: "Do you want him to do good things or do bad things? He managed to do an orthodox good thing. You have to try to figure him out with infinite malice, and you have to force him to do bad things, right?"

Down below, on the top of the city, Lin Su and Li Xiaotian opened the blockade of literature, because the things they want to talk about cannot be known by third parties...

"Business war, how do you interpret it?" Lin Su said.

Li Xiaotian's eyes flickered: "You define business as war, and I can roughly understand three points."

"Tell me!"

"First, support the army with business!"

The throne of Dacang has changed, the country is waiting for prosperity, and the national treasury is empty. Ji Guang is facing the first problem since he became the throne. He has no money, but there are so many things to do.

He was absolutely not stingy with the Flying Dragon Legion, and planned to order someone to send military expenses immediately, but this normal move still brought resentment from other troops. This is not a good sign, so Li Xiaotian wrote a letter to the emperor and refused A small sum of military expenses avoided the emperor's dilemma.

However, the army can't drink the northwest wind. At this critical moment, Jin Wang Li Qingquan extended a helping hand, opened the treasure house left in the palace that day, used all the money in it to work for the army, and relieved the urgent need of the Dragon Army.

This is not a long-term solution.

The money and food left in King Jin's palace were only a small part that had not been transported away in time.

The officials in the local government are more thorough. As soon as they sense that the wind is wrong, they roll up the bag and run away. These days, the Yaozu storage bags are all over the world, which provides them with great convenience. Even though Li Qingquan occupies the entire Old Jin Dynasty, The hand is still poor.

This is a dead end.

As soon as Lin Su arrived at Lingdingyang, he opened a business route, collected tariffs, and supported the army with taxes, which once and for all solved the problem of military expenditures for the troops on the frontier thousands of miles away.

Lin Su nodded: "That's right! Supporting the army with business and avoiding your majesty's dilemma, this is the first, is there a second?"

Li Xiaotian said: "Secondly, it is probably in your ban that you prohibit the transportation of grain, cloth, and coal to the north because these three materials have always been the main materials transported from Jindi to Dayu. Once it is broken, Osumi will be extremely difficult in the next winter."

"Haha! You have completed your interpretation!" Lin Su said: "The struggle between countries is a hundred times more complicated than the struggle between individuals. To weaken a country's strength, it needs to use multiple methods at the same time. I made him break the Jin Dynasty with a ban." Grain, Shanxi coal, Cangbu, living in Dasumi, a bitter and cold place in the north, lack of clothing and food, and the situation is chaotic. At the same time, I do not prohibit high-end luxury goods, and exchange these flashy materials for Dasumi's real useful production materials, such as Iron, like fur, if things go on like this, his national power will be weakened day by day, domestic conflicts will become more and more intensified, and the inherent hidden dangers that already existed will appear crazily.

After Lin Su's in-depth interpretation, Li Xiaotian's eyes were really opened.

For the first time, he knew that ordinary commercial trade also has such great knowledge. It can use business to strengthen a country, or use business to weaken other countries. It can even use commercial interests to change the industrial structure of the other country, and then manipulate the market to cause a major earthquake in the other country... …

In the high-level art of war, vegetation can be used as soldiers, water and fire can be used as soldiers, and business can also be used as soldiers...

Lin Su finished his confession: "Okay, if you continue to implement this method, the shortest is the spring of next year, and the later is one year or two, and there will be changes on the other side."

Li Xiaotian nodded: "Are you going?"

"Yes, go see King Jin."

A mysterious smile appeared on Li Xiaotian's face: "I think you should go to Lingding Bay first."

"Why?"

"Because the dark night girl and the two princesses are there."

"The two princesses?" Lin Su's heart skipped a beat.

"Don't you know? After the dark night girl and Xuanji princess completed the sweep of Jin's practice path a month ago, they returned to Haining and brought back the green-clothed princess. They have been running around among the people every day for a month, trying to find This is a good way to find a way of life for the people of Jin, but the news that comes back seems not to be optimistic, the land in the south of Jin is not bad, but the land in the north of Jin is full of quicksand, and there is no livelihood."

……

Lingding Bay is the end of Lingding Ocean. Looking down from the sky, a white belt starts from Lingding Ocean and continues for thousands of miles. Wherever it goes, there are no mountains, no water, no soil, and there is only a piece of white snow.

From the perspective of a literati, the scene of the sea and the sky is very shocking and beautiful.

Writing, oh no, copying a bunch of psalms is all right.

But from the perspective of solving the difficulties of the people, Lin Su also had a headache for a while.

At first glance, there is really nothing alive here.

The most important thing is that there are still a lot of people. He saw hundreds of settlements with just a glance from the sky, and each spot has at least tens of thousands of people.

These settlements build thatched houses in the white sand, and there are dots of green in front of and behind the houses, but they are also dots.

Today is early July, the hottest time of the year. At this time, Baisha is similar to a white casserole. The residents are cooking in this pot. The men are all shirtless, like half-cooked ribs in the pot.

Don't look at them wanting to peel off all the skin in front of them, you can look at them in a few months.

This is the northern border. The land of the Southern Jin Dynasty is moistened by the Jinjiang River and blocked by high mountains. The climate is relatively humid. This white sand beach is directly connected to the Lingding Ocean. Lin Su couldn't imagine that in a few months, these residents on the white sands would spend the half-year-long winter in the Northland.

Looking at the direction Li Xiaotian said, Lin Su once again discovered the beauty.

In the embrace of Lingdingyang by the ocean, there is a manor, which faces the ocean in the north and Baisha in the south, which is elegant and unique.

It's called Lingding Bieyuan, and it was the private residence of the former governor of Hengcheng.

The prefect of Hengcheng betrayed the state of Jin and went to Dasumi, and the money he searched for was obviously enough. As a golden signboard of Jindi, this solitary courtyard had received the great Confucian scholars from Dasumi over the years, and the reputation was obviously enough. After the army was defeated, everything became a wedding dress for King Jin.

Lin Su led the young monk Kong Ye, walked out of the Commander's Mansion in one step, landed on the white sand in the air, and walked towards Lingding Courtyard. The breeze from Lingding Ocean was blowing, and he seemed to hear the echo from history on this ancient long river...

Jin Yu contends for supremacy, Cang Jin contends for supremacy, the world is constantly changing, the sky is still the sky, the earth is still the land...

Everyone is a passer-by in life, the difference lies in what kind of imprint you will leave on this world...

There is a group of village girls in front of them. Under the scorching sun, they are digging sand in the white sand. There is a faint redness on their rough faces. This kind of redness is not touching shyness, but the remnants of the scorching sun and wind and frost. This is the real state. Those people from the Holy Family should really come and see, look at those village girls in your Taoyuan, what are the most beautiful blushes on their faces?It's totally unreal...

As he approached, several village girls raised their heads at the same time. When they saw this young boy who was rarely seen in the Northland, the village girls finally blushed, bit by bit, and they finally had a moving color... …

"Girls, what are you doing?" Lin Su waved his hand to greet them.

"I want to teach my son to know that my family is digging white orange roots." A more courageous village girl pulled out a white root from under the white sand, like a radish, but smaller and longer than a radish.

"Is this something to eat?"

"Ok!"

"Is it delicious?" Lin Su took a white orange root and pinched it, it was quite moist.

The village girl laughed: "You can't eat it like this, you have to cook it before you eat it. Cook it with wild jasmine over high heat to get rid of the fishy smell, and add some medicinal materials. It's very delicious. We dug it for the princess..."

"The princess asked you to dig?"

"No! The princess has been helping our villagers find a way every day these days, and we have nothing else to give her, so we just want to get some local products for the princess to try..."

Maybe it's Lin Su's more friendly appearance, maybe it's because his smile is extraordinarily unassuming, and these village girls talk about it in a hurry.
