Slaughtering the Goguryeo people as fat sheep. This is not just a saying.

As the most powerful country in Northeast Asia, Goguryeo, in addition to its military power, is also very powerful in economic power.

In Marine, the Khitans were still primitive slash-and-burn farming. While hunting and sheeping, Goguryeo had begun to cultivate the fields carefully. Not only did Goguryeo build iron tools, but the iron smelting level was also good. Farmers basically used iron tools to farm.

Although the lower-class people are very poor and have the habit of dieting on weekdays, the wealthy families in China do not make any detailed work, and tens of thousands of people sit and eat, and the lower households offer them. The Khitan, Mohe and other tribes do not know how to produce iron tools, but the Goguryeo people sold the iron tools they made to the Khitan, Mohe and other tribes in exchange for cattle and sheep.

Especially as a farming nation, Goguryeo also had the habit of saving grains. Not only did it have a country, but it had a big warehouse in the city, but every family also had a small warehouse, named Jingjing. People exchanged their taxes on cuckoo, millet and silk as trading currency. In history, when Goguryeo paid tribute to Japan, they specially imported cloth and fur, which were called leather coins. For example, if they surrendered to the tribes of Goguryeo, Khitan, Juwo, and Mart, the kings of Goguryeo strictly ordered them to pay tribute to cloth, cattle, sheep, fish, salt and grain.

But even so Goguryeo is only better than Khitan and Marin. Even if he loots, he may not have any gains. Instead, he may have lost his travel expenses. However, Zhouzhou said in the memorial that if he went to the mountains of Liaodong, he would definitely not be able to get any money. However, what he chose to attack was Goguryeo's most prosperous Sashui and the plains under the river of the Wu River. Sashui was a name that the Sui people were sad for. That year, the 300,000 Liao army was defeated by Yizhi Wende.

The Sa Shui is today's Qingchuan River. The plains under the Sa Shui have been the most important agricultural area in Goguryeo from the past to the present. Zhouzhou led a general of the Laihuer Navy who had participated in the Liaoning expedition to the Liao Dynasty and wrote in the memorial that the navy can go up two hundred miles from the Sa Shui upwards.

The location of the 材材材 is more important than the Sashui River. The 材材材材材材材材材材材材材材材材材材材材材材材材材材材材材材材材材材材材材材材材材材材材材材材材材材材材材材材材材材材材材材材材材材材材材材材材材材材材材材材材材材材材材材材材材材材材材材材材材材材材材材材材材材材材材材材材材材材材材材材材材材材材材材材材材材材材材材材材材材材材材材材材材材材材材材材材材材材材材材材材材�

The plains under the Sashui River and the Xi River are all important agricultural areas in Goguryeo. Compared to attacking the Qianli Great Wall defense line and gnawing on this hard bone, it can be said to be one in the sky and one on the earth. Now, in order to fight against the increasingly powerful Zhao State in the south, Goguryeo has built the Qianli Great Wall defense line in the west with extremely strong strength, even better than that of the past.

The 300,000 elite Sui army led by Yu Zhongwen advanced all the way here, but ended up in front of the Sashui River and was eventually defeated. The result was not as good as the 40,000 naval troops of Lai Hu'er. You should know that Lai Hu'er directly captured Pyongyang. If it weren't for negligence and not being wary of the night attacks of the Goguryeo people, the battle to conquer Liao would have been successful long ago.

For Zhou Zhou, there were only 3,000 naval troops, less than one percent of the 300,000 army. It was like shaking a tree by the Liao River, and Goguryeo was not taken seriously at all. However, he had no such concern at all when attacking Goguryeo around the seaway, because he could directly penetrate the place of Goguryeo's confidant.

Zhouzhou also said that the plan could be successful, and there was another reason. Because Goguryeo never paid attention to the navy, this was far inferior to Silla and Baekje in the Three Kingdoms of the Peninsula. During the conquest of Liao, the Huer navy entered the city of Pyongyang without any obstacles. The Goguryeo navy Mao didn't know where it was.

It was fine at the beginning, but the Goguryeo people have not yet made progress. In just a few years, the maritime trade in Silla and Zhao State was smooth. Goguryeo didn't think of sending a navy army to plunder for a long time. It can be seen how Goguryeo ignored the navy.

Without naval forces intercepting it, for the pirate fleet in Zhouzhou, the Bohai Sea is as easy as its own pool. Even if it is defeated, it can escape unscathed. Zhou Zhou wrote a plan to plunder the coastal areas of Goguryeo, saying that this move can not only support the war, but also destroy the economy of the coastal areas of Goguryeo.

Zhou Zhou wrote a lot. However, after reading it for a long time, Li Chongjiu saw another possibility from Zhouzhou's plan. In Li Chongjiu's opinion, Zhouzhou, as the county magistrate of Liaodong County, had too short-sighted vision and only knew how to make small fuss. In Li Chongjiu's opinion, if you want to do it, you have to make a big deal.

A huge ambition and plan was brewing in Li Chongjiu's mind. With the strength of Zhao State today, he personally led the entire army to raid Pyongyang. What was the consequence?

This is not impossible. His hundreds of sea ships and warships have already taken shape and have the ability to cross-sea strikes. The most important thing is to have a mindful and unintentional idea. When Emperor Yang of Sui attacked Liaodong, it was so powerful that even the ants on the ground knew that the Sui army was going to attack Goguryeo.

This time, Li Chongjiu crossed the sea and attacked him without taking the land, but by sea. When the moment when the troops suddenly came to the city, what would the Goguryeo royal family in Pyongyang think? Moreover, Li Chongjiu had another advantage over Yang Guang, that is, he had the strong support of his good ally, Silla.

The ambitions are burning in Li Chongjiu's heart. It's still too risky to take risks. There are too many variables in cross-sea expeditions. Whether soldiers can experience long-distance bumps in the sea, wind direction, climate and current are all major problems.

The Yuan army twice conquered Japan, but they both fed fish and shrimp, which is a good example. However, it seems that in history, the Sui and Tang dynasties were much better. Except for Yang Jian's unlucky attack on Goguryeo, the navy was loaded into the seabed to feed fish and shrimp. After that, the Sui sailors had already figured out Gao.

There has never been any more happening in the situation in the Juli Sea.

The most important thing is that Li Chongjiu has a group of maritime businessmen who often travel to and from Silla and Da Zhao to conduct maritime trade. They have absolutely no problem with their understanding of the sea area.

Li Chongjiu narrowed his eyes and paced in the hall, with a thoughtful look on his face from time to time. Thinking of this, Li Chongjiu could no longer sit still, and said: "Immediately, Wen Yanbo, Ji Chuan, Zhang Xuansu, Yu Shinan, Wei Zheng, and Wang Gui came into the hall overnight to see me."

At this moment, Wei Zheng was not asleep yet and he was correcting the memorial in the study. Although Li Chong was at 9 o'clock, he was the Minister of Shangshu Zuo Pushe, there were still some things on hand that had not been completed, so he had to continue doing it.

Unlike Li Chongjiu who focused on the overall situation, Wei Zheng, the housekeeper of Li Chongjiu, focused on daily trivial matters. For example, abolishing the fasting of beef sparse has caused considerable waves in the Youjing court and the country.

This matter starts from last year. Since the end of last year, Luo Khan led a large army to attack Youjing and returned in vain, the Turks have really calmed down for a while.

The Turks and Great Zhao were unable to do anything to each other, so they had to sit down and negotiate peacefully. After Li Chongjiu captured Luoyang, the Turks never attacked the border of Zhao again, and the two companies had always followed a good strategy of peaceful trading.

Especially the Turks have a high yield of sheep and horses this year, which is difficult to digest. No matter how many cattle and sheep there are on the grassland, they can’t help it in the cold winter. So this time the Turks drove away a large number of cattle and sheep and went south to sell it.

If there are too many things, the price will naturally be low. Therefore, the two families traded each other in autumn this year to an unprecedented height. Turkic horses and cattle are good things, and the people of Zhao State are urgently needed by the court.

The people and businessmen were all moved by the news. Even Li Chongjiu was surprised to hear that the Turks sold cattle, sheep and war horses so cheap this year. He told Wei Zheng what happened to the Turks? In the past, they would hide them for me when they wanted to buy horses, but this time they took the initiative to come to me and gave me so many.

Of course, Li Chongjiu could not refuse this. He asked Lin Dangfeng to go to the Turks, and in the name of the court, he purchased 10,000 military horses that could be used as war horses, and a thousand best stallions for breeding. Of course, private transactions were several times that of national transactions. Zhao's animal power developed greatly.

After just conquering Youjing, Wei Zheng submitted a memorial to Li Chongjiu that Zhao Guo, as the chief official, did not even have a cattle for a cart, let alone a horse. A village with a thousand households did not even have a ox. Nowadays, the people are very rich in plowing ox, mules and horses, but for the people of Youjing, the biggest trouble is that they cannot afford to buy it, but that they cannot afford to raise it. The horse and livestock materials in Youjing have been rising steadily.

But even so, the middle-class families in Youjing can use a horse and donkey to travel for transportation this year. Scholars ride horses to go outings in the suburbs of Youjing, shoot willows, and race horses. It is also good to use a donkey to grind grain or transport transportation at ordinary people's homes. Ordinary farmers can also add an extra ox to save labor. They can plow the fields during busy farming, and when harvesting, they can also use ox carts to pull grain and go to places ten miles away to sell.

Because of the abundant plowing oxen and the inexpensive cattle, a court official asked Li Chongjiu to ease the ban on slaughtering cattle, so that food shops in the market could sell beef.

Perhaps this court official himself did not expect that after his memorial arrived in the Secretariat, dozens of censors and officials from the Secretariat and Secretariat provinces fought a verbal battle.

This time, the censors and the real power department were divided into two major camps, and their memorials were handed over to the Secretariat like snowflakes.

The censor's position was clear, that is, fasting beef was an ancient system. In Qin law, it was said that those who stole horses died, and those who stole cattle were added. The censor said that when a strong country was strong, it was necessary to encourage farming and fighting, and oxen were the foundation of farming farmers, and the strength of the country was the foundation of the country. Therefore, it was opposed to killing cattle.

However, the real power department sneered at the long-term comments of the censors. A doctor from the Ministry of Revenue said in his memorial that it was very nice, yes, but it has been common for private slaughtering cattle among the people of Zhao State. The court could not control it, and many local departments turned a blind eye. Instead of letting it go, it would be better to legislate to tax those who slaughter cattle.

On the one hand, it not only increases national income, but also reduces the slaughter of cattle.

The memorial of the Ministry of Revenue was submitted to the Secretariat of the Secretariat on the day after the memorial was attacked by a censor the next day, saying that you were empty talk and that when did the State of Zhao privately slaughter cattle everywhere? Why haven't I heard of it?

Then the doctor of the Ministry of Revenue listed the facts one by one, and the officials were frightened.
