When the basic jump in the peace talks reached Chang'an, the time had come to the end of February, and the temperature in the entire Guanzhong was rising rapidly, and the spring was getting stronger and stronger.

Qin Zheng in the imperial study was also in a very good mood when he looked at this good news, in his opinion, Li Yuanhao was able to deal with the two empires of the Liao and Song dynasties for decades, and it was definitely not a mediocre talent to sweep Hexi, but the ending was so dramatic, but it also verified the objective law of "retribution is not happy".

Of course, the other ministers present were also happy for Great Qin, but compared to this sudden and "inconsequential" victory on the western border, the matter in the east was the reason why they were gathered here today.

"Your Majesty, all the cabinet ministers feel that General Lin's handling is very appropriate, and you have no other suggestions except for the supply of soldiers, food and grass, and the emigrants.

However, there is a disagreement on whether the East should meet the alliance or not, and we can only ask Your Majesty to decide for yourself. Yingyi took the lead in saluting and explained.

Qin Zheng nodded, he also expected such a situation, in the past, when Qin Zheng set the strategy of the eastern and western wars, it was based on Qin's geographical location and historical experience.

However, the Shang in the east were restless and arrogant again and again, and did not regard Qin as an equal ally at all.

In the face of this situation, the opinions of the ministers also diverged: first, the status quo faction led by Yingyi no longer took the initiative to form alliances and did not compete with the Shang, but only maintained some business contacts, worked hard to develop themselves, and waited for the situation in the Shang Dynasty to change before reacting.

The other faction is the continued expansion faction led by Zhao Gao, meeting the alliance according to the previous agreement, and at the same time showing power to make the merchants afraid of Qin. At the same time, taking advantage of Qin's advantages in industry and agriculture, he privately used exquisite commodities to envelop the Shang Dynasty nobles, and the puppet merchants could enter and retreat to attract talent immigrants.

Of course, Qin Zheng was inclined to Zhao Gao and Zhang Cang's suggestion, of course, it was not that Yingyi's method was bad, but that he was too passive to discover the changes in Shang in time and make profits for Daqin as soon as possible.

Therefore, Qin Zheng only pondered for a moment and said to the cabinet ministers: "I have decided to continue the alliance, and then take the initiative to infiltrate the Shang Kingdom according to the method of the Taiwei.

If the Shang Dynasty is unhindered, then it should be regarded as controlling his nobility and commerce, and if the Shang Dynasty changes, I want these people to think of taking the people's land to Daqin as soon as possible.

As for how many manpower and property to use, the Taiwei, the pawn, and the Yushitai discussed and gave a plan.

In the end, let Tang Xie and Tang Fuzi train talents to set up a military intelligence department Heluo Bureau, which will be directly managed by the prime minister, and these must be prepared before I meet the alliance, and then I will keep the first batch of agents in business as commercial diplomats. ”

Yingyi frowned slightly, he knew that putting it under his name meant that Qin Zheng wanted to catch it himself, but he didn't say anything when he had already known his rubber stamp status, so he led a group of people to salute: "Hey! ”

Qin Zheng nodded again and took out another letter, and said directly: "This is a letter from the Wei State, Altan Khan has retreated to the Yanshan region to recuperate after being frustrated again.

Combined with the news of General Wang Li, Altan Khan lost about 2,000 people this time, which is one-fifth, which is definitely not a small number.

However, the casualties of Wei were also quite serious, and Sima Yi's level was beyond doubt, but now he was too sick to be a director, so Altan Khan would once break through the Datong defense line.

Thanks to the timely release of Sima Shi, we stopped the surrender plan of the little emperor of Wei, and used the plan of sneak attack behind the strong wall and Qingye to hit Altan Khan hard. ”

Everyone was also happy when they heard that there was no danger, although Qin Wei had his own thoughts, but at present, this cooperation is still very valuable.

However, despite the victory, the situation in Wei was very bad, and the policy of clearing the wilderness had displaced many people, and the food supply was quite difficult.

So Sima Shi sent a letter asking us to supply some grain, and at the same time sell some grain at a flat price to stabilize the Wei market, you see? ”

As soon as Qin Zheng's words came out, Yingyi and the others were not calm, although Daqin had few people and a lot of land, and the food supply was quite sufficient.

But now the weather is so bad, this year's grain production is already a foregone conclusion, now sell grain to Wei, when the time is not enough?

Besides, Altan Khan has been defeated, is there still a need for Wei to exist? If you don't give food, you don't have to collapse the Wei State, as long as Daqin promises to cultivate land on the border, a large number of Wei people will immigrate to Daqin, and the Wei State will be self-defeating.

Qin Zheng watched a group of people whispering to each other below, and he was also a little entangled, of course he was willing to take all of Shanxi, so that with the limit of mountains and rivers, Qin would be invincible.

But is Wei really that easy to deal with? If they are allowed to fall, will it create a terrorist crisis similar to that of later generations? Just imagine a few retainers of the Cao family or the Sima family, who are doing things in Wei every three or five times, how many troops will be occupied by Great Qin?

And once Altan Khan attacks again, Qin Ke does not have a superfluous Sima Yi to preside over a defense, you must know that Qin Zheng's current Wang Li, Lin Jiang, and Zhao Cheng are the new generation, and they are almost unknown in history......

Even if there are outstanding talents, it takes a long time to exercise, and the talents cultivated by Qin Zheng's military academy and palace school will even struggle to go to the battlefield for a while, let alone take charge of themselves.

So weighing the pros and cons, Qin Zheng still spoke: "I decided to give Wei a certain amount of assistance, but the amount given for free is less, and the price is more.

It is even possible to sell grain at a price lower than the average price of the Qin and Wei kingdoms, but let the grain merchants have to trade in our new currency. ”

Qin Zheng's intention was very clear, that is, to use this grain sale to infiltrate the economy of Wei, but whenever Wei had Qin's currency in his hands, it could be spent, so it circulated back and forth, and Wei was naturally tied to the chariot of Great Qin.

Zhang Cang, who had dealt with Bai Pu a lot, also quickly understood what Qin Zheng meant, and hurriedly took the lead: "Your Majesty, the minister suggests selling some farm tools, silk, and porcelain at the same time as selling grain.

Merchants who bought a certain amount of these items could buy a larger share of the grain at a lower price, and those who did not buy could only be given a basic amount, so that the sales channels of our products in the Wei State would be greatly expanded. ”

When Qin Zheng heard this, isn't this dumping industrial products to hit the national industry of an agricultural country? Zhang Cang is worthy of being a scholar, and his ability to draw inferences is quite strong!

In this way, it is not only a one-time economic infiltration, but a second expansion of trade, if the Wei State widely uses high-quality and inexpensive Qin State manufacturing, will anyone still produce these things in the future? Of course not!

Then wait for Qin to have an idea about Wei, as long as Qin, who controls most of the consumer goods in Wei, is slightly restricted, Wei's economic production will shrink in an all-round way, and then Qin will probably be able to win without a fight!
