Chapter 155: Ji Zi Picks Up the Son
Chun Yuyan sighed and said: "King, Weichen doesn't know the purpose of the King of Chu, but the way of the world is always changing. ”
"Now that the king of Chu is hyping flour in the state of Chu, according to Weichen's conjecture, there may be several reasons, the first reason is that the king of Chu is really short of money and wants to use flour to collect money."
"The second reason is that the king of Chu found that there are serious drawbacks in planting wheat and rice, and intends to encourage all countries to plant wheat by vigorously promoting flour.
"The third reason is to lure the nobles of various countries to eat flour and consume a lot of manpower to make rice."
"The fourth reason is that Lao Chen is worried that there will be a great sage like Fan Li in the Chu State, who intends to make the common people of all countries poor by raising the price of wheat and rice and at the same time raising the price of other grains."
"The fifth reason, the old minister heard that this time the Chu State defeated Qi and Qin, the King of Chu was happy, and exempted many people in the Chu State from taxes, although the Chu State is not short of grain, but in this big war that affects the world, the Chu State consumes the most, and it is likely that the King of Chu is short of grain, because the countries have extremely strict control over corn and other grains, and the King of Chu is under the lack of grain, and can only pay attention to the wheat and rice, in order to wait for the autumn harvest this year and then buy grain from the people of Chu."
"And the last reason, after Zhaoyang's death, the state of Chu won a great victory, and the king of Chu was arrogant."
After a pause, Chun Yuyu continued: "King, in the opinion of the ministers, my Qi country only needs to control the wheat in the treasury, ensure that the Qi country has enough wheat in its hands, strictly prohibit the nobles and the people from making flour, and limit the price of wheat and rice, then we can wait and see what happens." ”
King Qi Xuan sighed, slightly disappointed.
Although the crown prince said a lot, if he said it all, it was equivalent to saying nothing, and what he needed was a vision that could see through the mind of King Chu at a glance, and the wisdom that could provide several countermeasures.
Obviously, Chun Yuyu didn't see through King Chu's mind this time.
But now that the ministers can't guess what the King of Chu is planning, the crown prince and the prince are also good, at least most of the possibilities have been thought of.
Seeing that King Qi's eyebrows shrank slightly, and then there was a stretch, Meng Weijun Tianwen walked forward from behind the ministers, and saluted: "King, Weichen has a suggestion. ”
When Tian Ying saw her son come out, her brows furrowed slightly.
Although his son's fame has spread all over the world, and everyone praises him as virtuous, but knowing his son Mo Ruo's father, how did Tian Wen's fame come about, others don't know, don't you know, this is bought with money, and it is still spent on your own money.
Although Tian Wen is extremely talented, and has been Wei Xiang for two years, he is still too young after all, and when he was Wei Xiang, he was played by the old foxes of Wei State, which shows that he is still too lacking in experience.
In the country of Qi, it is not better than the state of Wei, and if you do something wrong in the country of Wei, it is a big deal to slap your ass and leave, but the country of Qi is the foundation of your father and son, and if you leave the country of Qi, your father and son, then it is nothing.
Thinking of this, Tian Ying glanced at Meng Weijun.
Or he didn't see Tian Ying's eyes, or he saw it, but Meng Weijun turned a blind eye to it, his eyes drooped slightly, and his afterglow was on King Qi.
King Qi Xuan saw that Tian Ying's face was wrong, and said with a smile: "Jing Guojun is not feeling well!" ”
Tian Ying replied: "King Xie cares, and Weichen is just thinking about King Chu's thoughts." ”
King Qi Xuan smiled and said, "Don't worry, let's listen to what the son of Jun has to say." ”
As he spoke, King Qi Xuan asked Meng Weijun, "What is Qing's opinion?" ”
Meng Weijun shook his head and said: "King, there are rumors all over the world that flour is made of scooping, but Weichen has a question, that is, flour is really made of scooping. ”
For Meng Weijun's suspicions, King Qi Xuan also had them, and he also conducted experiments for this purpose, and the results showed that the method of making the system was indeed feasible.
King Qi Xuan said thoughtfully: "According to the method that has been passed down from the Chu State, the widow has ordered the people in the palace to test, and Maimi can indeed be controlled. ”
Then King Qi Xuan hesitated: "As for whether the flour of the Chu State is really made of koan, it is unknown. ”
Meng Weijun said: "Great King, Weichen thinks that before we understand the deep meaning of the King of Chu, our Qi country needs to strictly prohibit the entry of flour and the exit of wheat and rice. ”
"In addition, the food king's Lu bears the king's worries, and now there are dozens of gentlemen in the Jixia School Palace, why don't the king ask them and let them write to discuss matters."
King Qi Xuan nodded, he already had this idea in his heart just now, and now he has grasped the key to Maimi, and there is no hurry for other things, let those gentlemen think slowly.
Jixia School Palace.
Jiezi sat opposite Ji Zhenzhen, looking at the edict of King Qi on the case, his eyes were blazing.
Both of them are famous scholars of the Jixia Academy, and they belong to the Taoist school, but in terms of their understanding of the Great Dao, the two have diametrically opposite views.
Jiezi believes that the operation of all things in heaven and earth is driven by a great force, which is either the Tao or other unknowable things.
And Ji Zhen advocates inaction, which is diametrically opposed to the picker, and has had many arguments with the picker for this, of course, no one can convince anyone.
This kind of argument with different views either makes the two sides enemies or makes the two sides friends, and Jiezi and Ji Zhen belong to the latter situation.
Ji Zhen took a wooden slip and said with a smile: "I heard that Zou Yan and Tian Biao have both made suggestions to the king, but the king is not satisfied. ”
Jiezi said with disdain: "Not only that, Yin Wen and Song Yu, who have hesitated for a long time, have also made a statement, but they still haven't satisfied the king. ”
Then there was silence for a long time.
Ji Zhen suddenly clenched the book in his hand hard, looked at Jiezi and said: "Why don't you and I dedicate the book to the king, try to discuss the policy of Chu State, in the current school palace, everyone says that thrift can govern the country, but you and I talk about extravagant governance policies, which are ridiculed by others, and now is an opportunity." ”
Jiezi regretted: "It's feasible, but it's a pity that this book is only half completed!" ”
After a pause, Jiezi thought of Qu Yuan, who offered flour, and continued: "The matter of writing and talking, the power of Yizi alone is enough, I want to go to Chu to take a trip to Chu to see if there is another person in Chu who has a like-minded person who has offered extravagant strategies to the king of Chu." ”
"In addition, I also intend to take a deep look at the effects of extravagance and complement it."
Ji Zhen was stunned and persuaded: "Why should I go to Chu State, if the King of Qi follows our advice and implements extravagant policies in Qi State, we can also watch the pros and cons of this policy in Qi State." ”
Jiezi shook his head and said: "The road is difficult, the national conditions of Qi and Chu are completely different, the wind and cattle and horses are not related, extravagance is used in Qi, or it can be successful, it is used in Chu, or it can be successful, but it is the same extravagant policy, in Qi and Chu, it must be different, I want to get a glimpse of the avenue." ”
Seeing that Jiezi's tone was firm, Ji Zhen sighed and stopped persuading.
