"Three virtuous people, in three days, the widow will go to Hangu Pass to form an alliance with the king of the three Jins, but before leaving, the widow has something to trust."

Xiong Huai looked at the three kneeling people sitting in front of him, and his heart was full of emotion.

Although he doesn't like the prince, but now that the prince is an adult, he has to let the prince participate in state affairs, otherwise, he is happy, but the state of Chu will fall into doubts and chaos because of this.

What is more powerful than the nobility is experience and convention!

"The King's command." Jing Li, Zhao Yu, and Zhao Ju spoke together.

Xiong Huai said: "The widow went to Hanguguan here, the short is one month, the long is two months, the widow is not in Yingdu, he intends to take the prince to supervise the country, and the three virtuous ministers as a supplement, this time the prince is different from the last time, this time, the widow intends to let the prince follow the three virtuous secretaries to learn how to govern the country. ”

The three of them saluted: "Don't dare, I am willing to assist the prince with all my heart." ”

After the three of them left, Xiong Huai asked Li Qiu, "What is the prince doing these days?" ”

Li Qiu bowed his head and replied: "Back to the king, the prince has been studying behind closed doors these days. ”

"What kind of book are you reading?"

"Back to the king, it is said that the prince has been watching "Lao Tzu" these days."

Xiong Huai nodded, "Lao Tzu" is only 5,000 words in total, I'm afraid the prince should be able to recite it backwards now.

Three days later, Xiong Huai took Jingcui, Chen Zhen and several other important ministers, transferred 20,000 troops from Yingdu, left Yingdu, and headed for Hangu Pass.

Yue Guo.

"Foreign minister Zhao often visits King Yue."

Zhao Chang took the flour sent by the king of Chu, and finally rushed to the Huaibei region of Yue and met the king of Yue.

"No courtesy." Seeing that Zhao Chang straightened up, King Yue's face was ugly and said: "The widow once asked the king of Chu for help, but he waited for the Chu army to come, could it be that the king of Chu sent you to help the widow?" ”

Now that the Qi army has retreated, Chu intends to consume the strength of Qi and Yue first, and then wait for the opportunity to rescue Yue Guo's attempt to fail.

Seeing that King Yue was still holding on to this matter, Zhao Chang knew that this was Yue Guo expressing his dissatisfaction.

Zhao Chang replied: "The king is wrong to blame our country, the reason why our army has not arrived for a long time is because my Chu country had no food available at that time, and I wanted to send troops but could not do anything." ”

King Yue sneered: "It turns out that the widow blames the King of Chu." ”

Zhao Chang nodded and said: "King, that's exactly the case, now the widow has sent a micro-minister to come, one has come to reiterate the friendship between the two countries to the king, and the other is that the widow has specially ordered the micro-minister to come to give gifts." ”

"Give a gift!" King Yue's face was slightly relieved, and he asked, "Why did the King of Chu leave a widow." ”

Zhao Chang said confidently: "Back to the king, the gift from the widow is the treasure of the world's artifact country. ”

"Artifact, heavy treasure!?" There was a big shock in the country.

The artifact is a heavy treasure, and King Yue's first reaction is the Heshi Bi of Chu and Suihou Zhu, which is a heavy treasure in the world. However, He's Bi has been stolen from Zhaoyang's hands, and only Suihou Zhu is now left in the Chu State.

King Yue swallowed his saliva and asked expectantly, "I don't know what kind of treasure it is?" ”

Then, seeing that Zhao Chang took out a beautiful wooden box inlaid with gold and silver, all the people in Yue held their breath, and then Zhao Chang opened the wooden box.

As a result, King Yue saw a box of white powder.

"Broken..." King Yue's first reaction was to break the beads with Hou.

Zhao Chang smiled when he heard this: "The king's eyes are like torches, and you can see at a glance that this flour is made from wheat and rice. ”

“···” King Yue's face was ugly, embarrassed and proud, and he asked, "Could it be that the king of Chu gave the widow flour made of wheat and rice?" ”

Zhao Chang responded: "This is exactly the case with King Hui. Earlier, I said that my Chu country was short of food, and the widow had to use wheat and rice as military food in order to raise grain and grass to rescue your country. ”

"Then Qu Zi found that the flour obtained after the wheat rice was made could make a variety of wonderful foods, so he dedicated this thing to the widow, and with the flour, the wheat rice was no longer the lowest grain, but the best food in the world."

"When the widow learned of this news, he knew that your country also does not grow wheat and rice, so he specially informed the king in advance, so that the king could prepare to buy a sum of wheat in advance before the news that wheat can be used to make flour leaks."

King Yue questioned: "This is true, can the flour made from wheat and rice really be eaten?" ”

Zhao Chang said: "How dare we deceive the king about this matter, the widow not only sent flour to the king, but also sent flour and the recipe for making flour, the king can try it." ”

As he spoke, Shotsune once again asked for a box full of wooden tablets to be lifted.

Two hours later, with the help of a team of Yue soldiers and under the guidance of the chef of Chu, the chef of Yue successfully made a bun of steamed buns, which were then presented to the king of Yue.

After eating twenty buns in a row, the king of Yue sighed with emotion: "Artifact, this is a real artifact, after the wheat rice is made, I don't want to be so delicious, since then the people of my Yue country have one more ration, but unfortunately the flour is too difficult, I am afraid that the people of my Yue country need to make a few days to eat a bun, so I am afraid that the father and the elder in the country have wheat and rice and can't eat the flour, the king of Chu did not think of this at the beginning, after all, it is still slightly inferior to the widow." ”

"However, Qu Zi has always been the favorite minister of the King of Chu, and he even wants to eat wheat rice, so he discovered the method of making flour from wheat rice, which shows that Chu is indeed short of food."

"Since the king of Chu can think of the widow for the first time after getting this secret recipe, why doesn't the widow return the gift!"

Thinking of this, King Yue instructed the outside world: "Send an order, select the ten fattest sea fish that are the most favorite of the widow and give them to the king of Chu, and in addition, arrange a cook to guide the cook of the king of Chu how to cook sea fish." ”

······

More than 20 days after the prince's wedding.

Qi country.

When King Qi Xuan learned that Chu sent flour to the king of Yue, and the king of Yue was overjoyed, he began to ask people to inquire about the origin of the flour.

After learning about the method of making flour and the use of the army by the king of Chu to make rice, King Qi Xuan fell into doubts.

There is no doubt that flour is difficult to make when it is difficult, and the king of Chu has reigned for more than ten years, and he has not shown obvious mediocrity, Qu Yuan is a famous man in the world, and now Qu Yuan offers flour, and the king of Chu is full of rice, how to see how abnormal this situation is.

What you can't figure out, naturally leave it to others to think about.

King Qi Xuan summoned his ministers, told Chu Guo what had happened recently, and asked: "Zhuqing, now that this situation has occurred in Chu State, the widow is puzzled, and I hope that Zhuqing will teach the widow fortunately." ”

When the ministers understood what had happened, they looked at each other.

At first glance, it sounded like a policy of importance, but when I learned that flour was not a delicacy from the mountains and seas, but was made from wheat and rice, which even ordinary people did not eat, I immediately rejected the speculation that it was a priority.

After all, the key to severity is to crack down on the grain of other countries, and how can this kind of behavior that obviously encourages the production of food in other countries be a policy of severity and seriousness!

After thinking for a moment, the ministers all remained silent.

King Qi Xuan glanced at Tian Ying Su Dai, then his eyes stayed on Meng Weijun behind the minister for a while, and then his eyes swept over Tian Pan and Kuang Zhang, who closed their eyes and recuperated, and finally sighed and looked at Chun Yujun.
