"This..." Ejun looked at King Chu, and then at Qu Yuan.

Until now, how can you not know that at the time of today's court meeting, the ministers were all tricked by the king of Chu.

Looking at the state of this barracks, it is obvious that it was not set up today, and this stone mill that has been formed is definitely not a day's work.

In other words, the flour was not made at all, but grounded, and the person in charge of grinding the flour was none other than Qu Yuan's impeachment at the time of the court.

The conspiracy, today's action to expel Qu Yuan, is a conspiracy from beginning to end.

Wheat and rice, flour, steamed buns, and stone mills in the military camp are all connected, plus the big deal that the king of Chu said not long ago.

Ejun instantly realized that the king of Chu was going to buy wheat from other countries.

Xiong Huai looked at the two people who were grinding, and said to him: "Xianqing, the widow remembers that there are already cattle ploughing in the field now." ”

He replied, "Your Majesty, that's exactly what you do. ”

Xiong Huai smiled: "Since cattle can be used to plough the land, if the widow wants to come, it should also be used for grinding." ”

Hearing the ascension of the King of Chu, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he reacted instantly, it is completely feasible to use cattle to pull and grind, and not only cattle, but also other large livestock such as horses can be tried.

Once the livestock is used, the manpower will be greatly saved and the grinding speed can be accelerated.

Thinking of this, he admired it: "The king is wise, and Weichen will let people experiment." ”

Xiong Huai nodded, and then asked, "Xianqing, can the people in this military camp be arranged?" ”

He replied: "Back to the king, it has been arranged, and the people who use it are all slaves directly under the Chu State transferred by Sima, and the heavy guards arranged outside will ensure that the news will not be leaked." ”

"Okay, so don't worry." Xiong Huai thought for a while and said, "Xianqing and the others will tell these slaves that as long as they work hard in this barracks for five years, after five years, after the assessment, the widow can be exempted from their slave status, and everyone who is free will receive a hundred acres of land." ”

As soon as Xiong Huai's words fell, he felt that the speed of grinding was a few points faster.

He glanced at the three slaves in the camp and replied, "The king is merciful, and the minister will definitely convey the word." ”

After visiting the camp tent made of polished stones, Xiong Huai led everyone back to the Chu Palace.

Everyone sat down in the main hall, and Xiong Huai said to everyone: "I don't know what you think of flour?" ”

Zhaoyu was the first to reply, "Your Majesty, please go to various countries immediately to buy wheat and rice. ”

Ejun said: "Great King, Weichen's caravans in various countries can go all out to buy wheat and rice and hoard grain for the Chu State. ”

Xiong Huai said with a smile: "The acquisition of Maimi is naturally a natural thing, and for this reason, the widow has prepared three acquisition methods. ”

"The first step was to promote flour among the nobles of the Chu State, and then the widows would set up an institution in Yingdu, Chen, Wan, Ye, Shouchun, Guangling, Lanling and other places to purchase wheat and rice. As for the purchase price..."

Xiong Huai looked at Zhongqing and said, "Because I have scarce wheat and rice in Chu State, the widow has decided to set the purchase price of wheat and rice at twice that of corn. ”

Everyone was amazed by the generosity of King Chu.

Qu Yuan asked, "The king wants to use the weight of the pipe." ”

Xiong Huai nodded and said, "Yes, in the past, Guan Zi used the strategy of severity to increase the price of deer skin in Qi State, which caused my Chu State to suffer greatly. But this time, the strategy of the outnumbered, because the target is Maimi, and it cannot directly hit other countries, so the purpose this time is the same as digging a pit on the road and setting a slope on the bridge, just for himself, so that the Maimi of various countries can flow to the Chu State. ”

Not only that, but the widow also decided to implement a tax exemption system, and all wheat and rice entering the country were exempt from tax. If a merchant enters the country, and the value of wheat accounts for 10% of the value of all goods, then except for the tax exemption of wheat and rice, the rest of the goods are exempted from tax by 10%, and if wheat accounts for 90%, then the tax is reduced by 90%. ”

"This grain purchase plan of the widow is only aimed at the nobles and merchants of various countries, and only they can send wheat and rice to Chu State thousands of miles away."

After a pause, Xiong Huai said to Ejun: "Xianqing, the second grain purchase plan of the widow is to use Xianqing as the main body, unite many merchants from my Chu State, and go to various countries to buy grain. Two months later, the widow began to spread the news of flour making to other countries, and six months later, in August of this year, it announced that the price of wheat and rice would be raised in Chu State. ”

"So, your main task is to go to the places of each country and buy food directly from the civilians of each country. It's just that this plan is no longer in the Chu country, and it is difficult to go to other countries to buy grain, I don't know if you have the confidence to complete the grain purchase plan. ”

Ejun thought for a moment and said, "Great King, it's okay for other countries to say, but it's just that the Qin State will have great difficulties." The law of the merchant monarch of the Qin State stipulates the business scope of merchants, and strictly prohibits merchants from buying and selling grain without permission, although the Qin State also does not attach much importance to wheat rice, but wheat rice is still within the restrictions. ”

Xiong Huai thought for a while and said, "Does Xianqing have any merchant friends in Yan Kingdom?" The princely position is about to ascend the throne, and with the relationship between the princely position and the Qin state, the two countries of Qin and Yan will inevitably merge. As a citizen of Yan Kingdom, on the occasion of the restoration of the country, he should give a big gift to the new monarch to show his support for the new monarch. ”

"Now that the Yan Kingdom is in ruins, if a batch of food is offered at this time, I think King Yan will be very happy."

"Of course, if he can't get along in the Yan Kingdom in the future, he can come to the Chu State and get rich."

When Ejun heard the promise of the King of Chu, he immediately filtered his friends in the Yan Kingdom, and quickly determined the candidate: "Great King, the son of the Yan State An is a friend of Weichen and the royal family of the Yan State, if he comes forward to buy grain in the Qin State instead of the prince, then the Qin State should not stop it, maybe in order to win over the Yan State, he will take the initiative to help." ”

Xiong Huai nodded and said, "However, if Gongzi An can buy the wheat of the Qin State for the widow, then the widow will fully support him to ascend the throne of the Yan Kingdom." is still the same sentence, if there is disharmony, as long as he is willing to come to the Chu State, the widow will be rich. ”

Ejun bowed and said, "The minister will definitely complete the king's order." ”

"Okay." Xiong Huai Road.

Zhao Ju thought for a while and asked, "I don't know what the king's third plan is?" ”

Xiong Huai said with a smile: "The widow plans to directly propose a grain purchase plan to Sanjin on the grounds of lack of grain, and buy wheat from Sanjin. South Korea is weak, and it has just turned its face with the Qin State, so it will definitely not dare to refuse the widow. Wei is the widow's in-laws, and the prince got married a month later, and the widow plans to directly canonize Princess Wei as the crown princess. ”

"As for the State of Zhao, King Zhao is very talented, and he is friendly with several big countries at the same time, and he is a strong soldier in the country, so he is preparing for a big war. If the widow plans to exchange the golden leather combat reserve weight of my Chu State for the wheat rice of the Zhao State, the King of Zhao should not refuse the widow. ”

Everyone thought for a moment and said, "The king is wise! ”

Xiong Huai nodded, and then touched his beard, "Now there is one more critical question." ”

Zhaoyu asked, "Dare to ask the king, what is the problem?" ”

Xiong Huai sighed: "That is, Taifu has no money..."
