Xiong Huai was overjoyed when he heard that Ye Hou was willing to take out 200,000 stone of grain: "Ye Hou is really the minister of the humerus of the widow!" ”

Ye Hou smiled faintly and arched his hand: "It is the honor of the minister to be able to share the worries of the king." ”

Ye Hou said, and the afterglow in his eyes couldn't help but skim Dong Jun and Zhan Yangjun on the side.

This time, the king of Chu summoned the six feudal monarchs to come, originally to teach Dongjun a lesson to them, and to remind the other nobles that Ye Hou would naturally share the worries of the king of Chu. Moreover, 200,000 stone grain, although it is also a large amount of grain for Ye Hou, it does not hurt his muscles and bones.

Besides, everyone knows that the rise in grain prices this time is not because of the lack of grain in Chu, but to restrict Qi, so Yehou is not worried that the king of Chu will not have food after the autumn harvest.

After Ye Hou finished speaking, Yin Jun and Sheng Jun glanced at each other, and then, Yin Jun spoke: "Great King, the minister is willing to offer 100,000 stone grain for national use. ”

Sheng Jun followed closely and said, "Great King, the minister is willing to offer 70,000 stone of grain. ”

Dongjun Zhan Yangjun listened to Yin Jun Shengjun's words, and his heart suddenly jumped, Yin Jun wanted to persecute the two of them according to the will of the King of Chu!

Xiong Huai immediately smiled when he heard this, this Yin Jun Sheng Jun was really understanding.

Although they did not produce as much food as Ye Hou, Xiong Huai also knew in his heart that Yin Jun Sheng Jun was not as good as Ye Hou, not only was the population fief of the fief not as good as Ye Hou, but the grain output was not as good as Ye Hou, and the strength of Yin Jun was a step stronger than Sheng Jun.

If Ye Hou still has the strength to take out 200,000 stone grain at one time, then the grain that Yin Jun and the others took out is already close to their limit.

"Yin Jun and Sheng Jun have a heart."

As he spoke, Xiong Huai looked at the two people under him who had not yet spoken, without any words.

The two of them were silent for a moment, feeling a little depressed in the hall, and even breathing was a little short.

Now how can they not know that the other four feudal monarchs are the standards set by the king of Chu for the two of them.

In terms of territorial strength, they are not much different from Yin Jun, and they are all different from Jin Jun, who mainly relies on iron smelting for their income, they also rely on farming to collect taxes.

Therefore, since Yin Jun took out 100,000 stone grain, then the two of them should also take out 100,000 grain.

It's just that if they didn't sell grain before, it would be barely enough, but now, if they want to maintain the stability of the territory, the two of them can take out at most 20,000 or 30,000 stone of grain, and 50,000 stone of grain is close to the limit.

And more...

It's time to buy food from other feudal lords.

However, the two of them sold about 50,000 stone of grain, and they sold it to the king of Chu at eighty percent of the market price. Now buy grain at a price of 10 percent...

This not only hurt the king of Chu, but also lost a lot of money.

Just when the two of them were vaguely determined to prepare for heavy bleeding.

Xiong Huai saw that Dongjun and the others had already made a decision, so he spoke before them: "Zhuqing, now the Chu State is short of grain, but the wolf ambition of the Qi State has taken the opportunity to raise the price of grain, and now all the grain from all countries is flowing to the Qi State. Therefore, the widow decided to raise the price of grain to 130 denaria. ”

As soon as these words came out, Dongjun Zhan Yangjun's originally tangled face suddenly turned pale, and he bought food from other feudal monarchs at a price of one hundred and thirty yuan, which was no longer a bleeding but a broken arm.

Thinking about it, Dong Jun suddenly realized that the King of Chu had informed them of the news in advance, perhaps because he had opened the net and not forced them to death.

Since the king of Chu has opened the net, then...

Dongjun Shengjun looked at each other, his heart was like a rhino, and he walked to the main hall and bowed: "King, the minister is guilty!" ”

Xiong Huai's eyes narrowed half-squinted: "What is the crime of the two virtuous kings?" ”

Dong Jun responded: "King, in the past few years, the ministers have spent a lot of money on flour, so that there is a shortage of food in their hands. Now that the state of Chu is in trouble, the minister should have served the country, but now the minister has food available. ”

"Therefore, the minister asked the king to be gracious and let the minister take out 50,000 stone of grain, and then offer a thousand gold to the Taifu to fund the country."

Sheng Jun also said: "The king, the same is true for the ministers, who are willing to offer 50,000 stone of grain, plus a thousand gold, for the country." ”

Xiong Huai looked at the two of them coldly, this thousand gold is still a little worse than the profit earned by the two, but if you add the 50,000 stone grain, it will be about the same.

But the grain was borrowed.

After a long time, Xiong Huai spoke: "Okay! ”

······

Soon after Jin Jun and the other six feudal monarchs left, Xiong Huai waited for Dou You to come in.

After Douyou sat down, Xiong Huai asked, "How?" ”

Dou You responded: "Great King, Dongjun Zhan Yangjun has already explained to his ministers that he is willing to borrow 50,000 stone of grain for national use, and use the current grain price as the standard to support Taifu's daughters to buy grain, and then return their grain after the autumn harvest this year." In addition, the two heard that Taifu was short of money, and they were willing to donate their daughter to the country. ”

Xiong Huai listened to the latter sentence, and then nodded with satisfaction, counting them as acquaintances.

"Spread the news to the Ejun of Guangling, and let the Ejun pass on the matter of Dongjun Zhan Yangjun's donation to the four of Lu Jun, and let the four of them watch it."

"In addition, take this matter out for a walk, don't let other feudal monarchs have no eyes!"

Dou You arched his hand and said: "Only! ”

Then, Xiong Huai continued to talk about the affairs of Qi State, and said: "Since the price of grain in Qi State has risen to one hundred and twenty yuan and one stone, more than 20 days have passed, and until now, Qi Country has not lowered its price, right?" ”

"The news from the Qi State is exactly like this." Douyou nodded in response.

"And now the widow has beaten the feudal monarch who crossed the line, so..." Xiong Huai looked at Dou You and said: "So the widow decided to continue to increase the price, lest after the wheat is ripe, all the wheat and rice from all countries will flow into the Qi country!" ”

Dou You responded: "The minister receives the order." ”

Qi country.

Hearing Ji Zi's report, King Qi smiled coldly and said: "Although Ji Zi lets it go, Chu State wants to raise prices, is the widow still afraid of him, compared to money, the widow is not afraid of any country." ”

"Order, immediately raise the price of corn and wheat to one hundred and fifty yuan, the widow wants to see if the king of Chu dares to continue to raise the price with the widow."

Ji Zi hesitated for a moment and said: "King, the price of grain has risen to one hundred and fifty yuan, and with the financial resources of the Qi State, it is natural to be able to hold on, but the minister is worried that the people of the Qi State may be unable to bear it." ”

"Originally, we raised the price of grain to 120 yuan, and the people complained, if we continue to raise 30 yuan, if we stalemate with the Chu State for several months until the wheat is harvested, the minister is worried that many people will go bankrupt because of this."

King Qi froze for a moment, a trace of hesitation flashed in his eyes, and his face was heavy.

The problem of embarrassment for the people is indeed a big problem.

If you lose the popularity of the people for the sake of wheat, even if you get a lot of wheat, I am afraid that the gain will not outweigh the loss.

Thinking about it, King Qi opened his mouth and asked: "Ji Zi, this problem is indeed unobservable, I don't know if Ji Zi has a solution?" ”

ps: There was a mistake yesterday, which Lingjun was wiped out and I forgot about it myself, which led to the resurrection of the dead, thank you for reminding you!

Revised, apologies!
