Chapter 41 Economic Crush

Qin State, since the Shang Dynasty changed the law, the domestic economy has been increasing day by day, of course, for a country, the most important thing is the soldiers, and the economic reform brought by the reform is also of great help to the soldiers, and the national defense is strong.

The all-round rise of the Qin State shocked the eastern countries, but at the moment, the Qi State, which has always been the old strength of the title, seems to be very dissatisfied with the actual rise of the Qin State.

Because at this time, the five countries of Shandong should all be afraid of the Qi State, and the rise of the Qin State in the west has formed a situation of two hegemons in the east and the west, just from the surface, the Qi State decided to win over the Qin State and seek the world with himself, but as we all know, one mountain does not allow two tigers, so fundamentally, the King of Qi began a series of complaints that were not concealed.

"Now the Qin State, a barbaric land in the west, they are actually equipped with diplomatic relations, and they are also worthy of rising, ridiculous, my Qi country is in the east, the land of the sunrise in the east, close to the East China Sea, so only my Qi country is worthy of being the co-master of the world, and the Qin State can actually rise in all directions, it is really unbearable"

After King Qi spoke, I saw Tian Wen come out: "King, I have a plan to contain the Qin State"

"Meng Weijun, please speak, now that Su Qin is not here, you can rest assured and boldly propose how to deal with the Qin State"

"King, Tian Wen knows that Su Qin has always been inclined to crusade against the world even across the Qin State, in the court meeting, it is not good for us to directly refute Su Qin's meaning, now, Tian Wen feels that the Qin State is mainly developed by commercial trade, we can privately unite the princes, cut off the trade of the Qin State, and fundamentally disintegrate the economy of the Qin State, and then use the military crusade, the Qin State can be determined" After Tian Wen's words, King Qi Xiang recognized it very much, but looking back, although the strategy is good, where to start.

"King, the Qin people are good at raising horses, and it was the joy of the king of Zhou who was raised by Qin Feizi's horses, so now from the perspective of trade, Qin's main business confidence comes from horses and supplies to the Central Plains, so that Qin and the Central Plains have enough confidence in the economy, and then other industrial chains of Qin have been driven up in turn, so Tian Wen believes that if you want to disintegrate Qin's trade, you must start with a foal" After Tian Wen's words, King Qi Xiang recognized.

But then King Qi was a little puzzled: "For example, today, in addition to the war horses of the Qin State, the war horses of other countries are indeed not praised, if everyone does not buy the foals of the Qin people, which of them has better foals than the Qin countries?" ”

Tian Wen pondered, at this time, a capable minister appreciated by the King of Qi visited the shrine, this person is not a stranger in our eyes, he is Zhao Guoyu Yu Shi Di Yu and Qi State Si Kou Tian Dan, an out-and-out double-faced minister.

"Tian Dan sees the King of Qi"

"Tian Dan, you are here, you are here, we are discussing the affairs of the country, and I hope you can provide some advice"

"Thanks to my king's weight, Tian Dan must know everything, and he must say everything" Tian Dan got up and lined up on the king's left and right.

Looking at the ministers Qi Xiang, King Qi then said: "Just now Meng Weijun proposed, for the rise of the Qin State in the west should not be underestimated, just from the perspective of military strength and national defense, now the Qin State is getting stronger and stronger, so we can not be outwit, to fight the snake to fight seven inches, in order to be able to successfully prevent the development of the Qin State, it is essential to disintegrate its economy, so Tian Wen suggested that the economy of the Qin State should be weakened first, and the trade confidence of the Qin State mainly stems from the war horses of the Qin State, as for the foal of the Qin State, this king feels that it is indeed a unique in the world, The monarchs of the six countries also thought so, so if the princes did not buy the war horses of the Qin State, they had to get a war horse that was better than the Qin State, so as to curb the import of the foals of the Qin State by other countries, and the trade of the Qin State in all aspects would gradually collapse."

After King Qi spoke, everyone remained silent, because the ministers all felt that the war horses of the Qin State were recognized as the best in the world, and they wanted to let the war horses of other countries replace the good horses of the Qin State, which seemed to be not quite in line with the reality, and looked at everyone had no opinions, Tian Dan came out: "The king, Tian Dan traveled around the countries according to the will of my king, among which Zhao, Chu, Han, Wei, and Yan include our Qi country, and the foals are indeed inferior to the Qin country, in this case, it is indeed a little troublesome to curb the Qin State from the sale of the foal, but my king don't worry, since Tian Dan has traveled around the world, Of course, I understand that there is a better place in this world than the Qin State."

After Wang heard Tian Dan's words, he was really happy: "Aiqing said it quickly, and the widow listened to it!" ”

"The king, the area farther north than the Qin State, the foals are more elite"

After Tian Dan's words, King Qi thought for a moment: "Chu is in the south, Wei and South Korea are in the middle, Zhao is Hanoi, although Yan is north than Qin, but Yan is a good horse, Tian Dan, there seem to be some widows you said... The widow knew, and after a while, King Qi suddenly realized.

Tian Wen looked at the King of Qi, and it seemed that Tian Wen also knew what Tian Dan meant: "You want to tell me that the king is united with the Xiongnu?" ”

"Qin's war horses are indeed one of the best, but for the nomadic Huns, slightly inferior, as we all know, the Huns' foals are truly outstanding, if you can closely unite with the Hun tribes, let the Huns deliver their horses to the Central Plains countries, Qi is responsible for matchmaking, the prime minister in the middle of the bridge, then afterwards, the Huns in addition to the silver two of the trading transactions, my Qi State and then privately give the Huns some benefits, naturally Qin's horse sales route will be broken, so that from the perspective of trade, The Qin State has already suffered a heavy blow," Tian Dan said.

Tian Wen asked rhetorically: "If this is the case, when the time comes, the Qin State will lose a hundred, and my Qi State will also lose eighty, is it really worth it?" ”

Tian Dan replied: "Of course not, my Qi country can first give the Xiongnu in the form of credit, from the perspective of interests, the Xiongnu have already obtained substantial benefits, and then the benefits given by our Qi country can be owed first."

Tian Wen asked rhetorically: "If the Huns have to ask for this silver tael at that time, how will they treat it?" ”

Tian Dan smiled: "It's very simple, drag it first, tell the brothers the pros and cons, and then the Huns themselves get the benefits, we can drag it, and when it comes to a certain time, we will directly not give any good to the Huns."

"Then won't it force the Huns to send troops to Qi at that time?" Tian Wendao.

"Exactly"

King Qi listened carefully to the words of the two Aiqing: "Tian Dan is exactly what needs the Xiongnu to send troops, at that time, the Xiongnu army will go south, the first thing to face is the Yan State, and the Yan State will definitely not, let the Xiongnu casually cross the Great Wall of the Yan State, the Yan State has experienced domestic turmoil before, and the concept of the Central Plains is prevalent in the false road to cut down the Huns, I believe that the Yan State will definitely go all out to resist the Xiongnu, and at that time, my Qi State can use the method of the false road to defeat the Yan State, which is actually preparing to destroy the Yan, and destroy the foundation of the Qin State from an economic point of view, Second, you can provoke the Xiongnu to fight with Yan, and third, you can pretend to destroy Yan, of course, at that time, if Yan doesn't let me Qi send reinforcements, my Qi can still send troops to attack Yan, and pretend to tell the world that our Qi State just sent some food to support Yan, but I don't know that Yan has been defeated by the Xiongnu.

After hearing Tian Dan's words, King Qi was deeply moved: "What Aiqing said is really good, on the surface, it is to unite the countries to curb the trade of the Qin State, and from the bottom of my heart, the essence is to break the unity of the vassal states, so that my Qi State can sit on the benefits of Weng, and the whole world will be at your fingertips."

"Yes, the king, the vassal states get good horses in the hands of the Qin State, which is really beneficial to everyone, and if you don't buy and trade in the hands of the Qin State, everyone's losses will not be less, on the surface, it seems that I am the leader of the Qi State, so that everyone can work together to fight against the Qin State, and at the same time buy the horses of the Xiongnu, the princes are also called hands, and the Qi State is also regarded as a favor" Tian Dan said.

Now a new question arises, that is, why did the vassal states not use the horses of the Qin State instead of the horses of the Xiongnu? Besides, the Central Plains has always sworn to stand with the Xiongnu, so it seems that it is difficult for some strongmen.

When he was young, Tian Wen said: "King, Tian Dan means to let me Qi Guo sell the foal on my behalf, is that so?" ”

"Exactly," Tian Dan replied.

"Great, since then, the whole chess game, as arranged by Aiqing, so go on like this, when my Qi country crusades against Yan country, the only Qin country that can oppose my Qi country has completely collapsed economically, so it is unable to compete with my Qi country, all the countries have obtained the benefits of my Qi country accordingly, and the good horse can also control them, and naturally it will not be difficult to get along with my Qi country, since ancient times to the present, there is a gap between my Qi country and Yan country, everyone knows it, it is estimated that the princes who get the benefits will turn a blind eye, In this way, it seems that the Yan Kingdom can be destroyed, and the next step is that the world is at your fingertips, and it is none other than my Qi Kingdom to dominate the world."

King Qi was intoxicated with the blueprint, and Tian Wen seemed to be worried about how to send the Xiongnu, because Qi had never had any communication with the Xiongnu, so it seemed a little inappropriate.

When Tian Wen was worried, Tian Dan saw Meng Weijun's thoughts and whispered in his ear: "Don't worry, on the Huns' side, Tian Dan has already been contacted, and the military horse purchase offices of the Central Plains countries, Tian Dan has also been sorted out in turn, just wait for the king's permission, everything can start."

Tian Wen was full of respect: "Si Kou's work is really thunder and lightning, Tian Wen admires... Admire! ”

"It's okay, Meng Yanjun, what about you, smart is smart, but you still have to learn more from me in the future, otherwise, people will fall behind if they don't learn" Tian Dan's smug expression suddenly made Meng Yanjun Tian Wen very secretive.

casually said that the two strategies came out in an instant, but Tian Wen felt great humiliation at this time, no matter what, Meng Yanjun is also a figure with a head and face in the Qi State, so Tian Dan invisibly offended Meng Yanjun, maybe Si Kou Tian Dan didn't know, maybe, Tian Dan was deliberate, because Tian Dan has always been very atmospheric, and he is also surnamed Tian, why Meng Yanjun likes it as a king, but he has been snubbed.

Moreover, Tian Dan has the identity of a double-faced subterfuge, and King Qi still knows about it, because it was King Qi who sent Tian Dan to do this, mainly because he was worried about the conflict between Tian Dan and Tian Wen, and this point, Bao Tian Wen's abandonment of Tian Dan was also resented by Tian Dan.

At present, Tian Dan has been circling between Qi and Zhao for a long time, and has repeatedly made meritorious contributions to break the idea of Qi attacking by Zhao State, although it is indispensable, but King Qi seems to have taken it as it should be, so Tian Dan is very jealous of Tian Wen in his heart, Tian Wen, even if he says a few words casually, King Qi will be very recognized, on the current strategy to isolate Qin, in fact, Tian Dan arranged the entire plan fully, and Tian Wen just said a few words, King Qi praised it, which is really infuriating!

"It's infuriating!" Tian Dan walked out of the hall, muttering in his heart, and the moment he turned around, Tian Dan said inwardly: "Sooner or later, I will let you Meng Yanjun know who is the real favorite of the king, and I Tian Dan will not be you Tian Wen, Meng Yan Jun Tian Wen!" I've put up with you for a long time, how can this be true! ”

At this point, a soldier came, walked up to Tian Dan, and whispered a few words in his ear.

"What! Something happened to Chang Wenjun? Immediately arrange a good horse, and I will return to Zhao Kingdom! ”

"Yes! Your Excellency," said the soldier.
