The King of Chu intended to accept the appeasement strategy of those wandering scholars because of the royal power.

If you can join the three-pointer Song land, that's the best.

If not, you might as well give up the land of Song and let the Mo family annex, so that the Mo family can be difficult to digest. You have to face the counterattack of the Song nobles, and at the same time, it can make the princes in the world full of vigilance towards the Mo family.

Within the stable environment, the Mohist family attracted Wei Han's attention and could continue to reform, strengthen centralization, clean up the throne before death, and pave the way for his son.

Outside, the Song Kingdom returned to Mo, so Qi, Yue, Wei, Han and other countries would be panicked. Wei and Zhao had already declined, and then Chu would be the leader of the anti-Mo alliance that could be recognized by all the vassal states.

If time does not stand on the Mo family, Si Shang can reform the land, and create a large number of self-cultivated farmers as the main force of Si Shang Yishi, in order to deceive those who want land.

But it may not be impossible for all countries, as long as they can deal with the nobles.

The longer it delays, the more beneficial it will be for all countries. The benefits obtained by Chu are exactly the greatest: Song State was thrown to the Mo family, Chu State and Nanyang. But Wei and Han need to always station troops in the direction of the Central Plains. Qin State at least makes a little effort and Wei State will be completely finished.

At that time, if the Mo family's anti-Mo alliance can be balanced, the State of Chu cannot be the leader. Moreover, the King of Chu is expected to have completed the reforms by then, and the resistance of the nobles in the country will be basically stable. With its own stature, the State of Chu may not lose to Si Shang.

However, all this was not what the nobles of the Chu State fences wanted.

If the Song State does not fight, the conflict between the royal power and the vassal of the king will not be suppressed; if the Song State does not fight, the king will not give the nobles and vassal of the kings; if the Song State does not fight, the king will not be able to continue to expand the vassal of the kings and control more population and land.

Linwujun did not expect that Yingdu was in chaos, and he did not expect that the King of Chu would rather tolerate the state of Song in order to deal with the nobles and lords.

Most of the words that Prince Liangfu said were not secrets. Behind these high-sounding reasons, Linwu Jun could see the King of Chu reaching out to their nooses.

Lin Wujun asked, "Can the Chu people have no talent? Can you see what happened more than ten years later?"

At this time, the prince's good husband also loyally said what he wanted to say.

"Yangchengjun, Luyangjun, Pingyejun, Ejun, Diyangjun, Xianglingjun, Wuyangjun, Xiangjun and others have the intention of admonition. They are ready to make a plan of appeasement, and they will definitely ruin the country and cannot be followed. Those who are magnanimous and magnanimous, should be expelled, appease the relatives within and protect their humiliation from the outside."

Linwu Jun exclaimed: "This is the true loyal and visionary minister. The king valued those scholars. Don't you know that scholars seek profit and make fame? If you return to Chu today, you will serve in Chu. If you return to Wei tomorrow, you will serve in Wei. If you return to Wei tomorrow, you will serve in Wei. It is not comparable to the nobles who have families and fiefs."

"I cannot help this matter with the chief of the country. I cannot help myself and I cannot help but advise you. When you return to Yingdu, please bring my letter of advice to the king."

"If you really start a war with the Mo family, you will have no worries in Linwu."

That being said, Lin Wujun also has his own plans.

In his opinion, the Mo family could not attack Linwu, because Linwu was not a wealthy place and it was useless to occupy it.

The real battlefield must revolve around the State of Song. If the State of Chu states expresses its intention to interfere in order to save the Song Dynasty, then Wei, Han and Qi have been more and more miserable than Si Shang for a long time and will definitely join.

By then, the Mo family will definitely not have the military power to attack Linwu. One is useless, and the other is that the soldiers in the South China Sea dare not move lightly.

Furthermore, he also realized that the Mo family's appetite was not that big. Otherwise, they would have occupied the southwest Qi and refused to go. Anyway, no one could interfere at that time. However, the Mo family gave up the essence of southwest Qi, and in the final analysis, they were afraid that they would not be able to match the strength.

If we really want to interfere in the State of Song, the Mo family will inevitably start fighting around the State of Song. Even if we want to defeat each one, it will definitely defeat Yue, Qi, Wei, Han first, and finally Chu.

It is even possible that the Mohist school wanted to control the war within the Song State. After all, the princes were sure that they could not attack Si Shang, and Si Shang might not be able to withstand the counterattack of the coalition forces of the princes and dare not go straight in.

In addition, he can also reach a secret agreement with the Mohist family through the caravan, continue to do business by himself, sell deer skin, buy gunpowder and muskets, and expand his strength.

After all, he had heard about the chaos in the Song State before, but the caravan of the Mo family still agreed to sell him muskets, and even repeatedly stated that the South China Sea was not settled, hoping that Linwu Jun could also educate the local people so that they could return to the Xia.

Anyway, he doesn't need to send troops to attack Song State. Those real big families hope to use this to force the King of Chu, so he always has to express his opinion.

The law does not blame the masses. If the responsibility is really held accountable in the future, most of the monarchs of the entire Chu State will be involved. The King of Chu will have no way to deal with it unless he completely turns against him.

If the King of Chu dies in the future and the prince supported by the nobles takes office, if he doesn't express his opinion today, the Linwu fiefdom will probably not be able to be kept in the future: then it is not because of the reform of the land, but because he stands in the wrong position, and the other vassals will definitely not collectively oppose the land acquisition matter as they are now.

Linwujun's statement also made Xiong Liangfu very excited, and he praised repeatedly: "Linwujun is also sincere in his country and has no selfish plans. This is the long-term view."

…………

After Linwu Jun returned to the city and left the prince's good husband, those private confidants told him about the arrival of the South China Sea caravan in Linwu.

Muskets and powder have been checked, and there is no shortage of these chambers of commerce in business.

Linwu Jun himself had special merchants who were all dependent on him and were prohibited from distributing by power, so the caravan had to leave a lot of goods in Linwu.

Monopoly rights and salt monopoly are all important incomes of Linwu Jun. Only by maintaining one's own power and being qualified to have a place among the many vassals of Chu State.

Many people were unwilling to come to the frontier at the beginning, but Linwu Jun had a foresight. Without much constraints and surveillance in the frontier areas, it may not be a bad thing.

At that time, he showed infinite loyalty to the King of Chu, which was exchanged for his fiefdom. When loyalty could no longer protect his fiefdom, he could naturally be discarded.

The client in charge of contacting the caravan talked about the Chamber of Commerce's hope to trade rice. Lin Wujun didn't think much about it and said happily: "Rice is not easy to transfer and profit is low. Those people in the Chamber of Commerce have never collected them. If they can use rice, they can save a lot of gold and copper."

Since he had a fiefdom, he naturally had a large amount of labor rent and physical rent. Some of the military taxes required those newly conquered villages and communities to pay deer skins, and the rest of the main large amount was grain.

The advancement of iron ox plowing technology has allowed him to accumulate a lot of grain. His daily sales can only be transported to cities downstream of the Hunan River through a generation along the river in exchange for gold, silver and copper coins, so that he can trade with the Mohist family.

However, in recent years, the food prices are getting cheaper and they can only rely on small gold mines and deer sock herbs and trade with the Mohist family. It is really a bit painful.

The visitor also explained to Linwujun: "The caravan said that, one is that there was a storm in the South China Sea last year, and the other is that the construction of Lechang Gorge is built, with a population gathering. If rice is transported from Yangyu and other places, the journey of hundreds of miles will be huge. Therefore, if you want to buy it from Linwu, you can directly transport it to Lechang Gorge to supply the construction there."

Linwujun nodded and said, "Lechang is too far away from Yangyu and other places, and it is indeed too far away. There are tens of thousands of people working there. Even though the Mo family is rich, it still hurts."

Thinking of some things Xiong Liangfu said to him today, he suddenly thought of a good idea, so he asked again: "When will the caravan come to see me?"

The guest said, "It will be seen tonight, but I don't know if the prince is here. Is there something for us to talk about?"

Lin Wujun shook his head, these disciples couldn't talk about these things.

The construction of Lechang Gorge is a major event, which is related to Linwu's wealth and trade, but it is also equivalent to the Mohist school opening the path from the Pearl River Water System to the Xiangjiang River Water System.

It was just a short time since the construction was completed, and it was still early to complete. It would take at least several years to transport a large number of troops.

Tens of thousands of people work, and eating and drinking is a big problem.

The local area is also a remote area with high mountains and dangerous waters in the Nanling Mountains. Many barbarians are dissatisfied with it. If you want to maintain a project there, you need a lot of food.

Lin Wujun thought about it and asked again: "How much food can be stored in the warehouse?"

The customer was in charge of these matters and replied: "There is a lot of grain stored, but there are still many loans to the people. It is time to repay this year, but many people are afraid that they cannot afford it. Besides, as the new year comes, someone needs to borrow grain, so the stored grain may not be sold all of it."

"Even if the caravan buys grain, the price of grain is higher, it is not as good as lending. If you double your loan in three years, you will still make more profits."

The general vassal must be the largest usury loan maker in the local area. The farmer paid various taxes and had to serve land rent, so there was actually not much left in stock.

The more you borrow, the more you can control the farmers, so that they have no surplus grain to buy more tools to reclaim wasteland or even escape.

The land is all belonged to Linwujun, so it may not require annexation of land, but the population requires that it be bound to the land.

The customers are considering the most profitable method. They double in three years and have an annual rate of return of 30%. Even if they can be sold to the caravan, they will not sell much more money even if they can bargain.

Lin Wujun considered more far-reachingly and said with a smile: "Whether you benefit or not, you need to look at the long-term. I have my own plans. You can go and count it, save the unusable part, and leave less part of the loan required, and report the remaining amount to me."

Linwu Jun felt that since Lechang Gorge is very close to Linwu and there are tens of thousands of people gathering to build it, this project cannot be stopped easily.

If you can pass the caravan and say that the food you need on the Lechang construction site this year is provided by you, it is a good way to curb the Mohist family in case of attacking Linwu.

It is definitely extremely difficult to transport upward along the Pearl River system from Yangyu. When you arrive, you may only have one pound of food left.

At such an expensive price, I can sell it a little lower, so that the caravan members can first make sure that there is enough stock in their treasury to support the needs of the Lechangxia project in one year.

Since I chose to buy food from here, it proves that the Mohist school did not intend to take action in Linwu, and even symbolically tested it.

Moreover, you can curb the lifeblood of Lechang Gorge. Every time you sell it for one month, merchants will not be transported from Yangyu without profit. Tens of thousands of people in Lechang Gorge have to rely on their own food.

Once Mo Chu really starts war, he can use these grains to negotiate with the Mo family: You can fight casually in Song State, but don’t fight Linwu, it is not necessary, and as long as you conduct military mobilization in the South China Sea, I will lose food. Tens of thousands of farmers and workers in Lechang Gorge will not have enough food at that time, which will be a big mess.

If the north fights the north, the two sides can continue to trade. When Lechang Gorge is repaired, the war should be over. At that time, Linwu trade will be more exchanges, and profits will be gained and strength will be expanded.
