Chapter 196: Prosperity

Jing Li heard the sigh of the king of Chu and said, "King, the key to the problem now is not what the price of wheat and rice is, the key is that the people don't believe it. In my opinion, why not wait for the new wheat to ripen next year, and set the purchase price of the wheat at 40 yuan..."

Dou You was furious when he heard this: "Ling Yin said well, forty yuan, the people believe it, but where does the money come from?" Now the money in the warehouses of Taifu in various places is borrowed by the king, and my Taifu has no money, can all the remaining money be handed over to Ling Yin to solve? โ€

Jing Li's words were stunned.

Xiong Huai was silent, now that the money for the purchase of Mai Mi has invested all the belongings of the Chu State, and in the next few years, he, the king of Chu, is counting his fingers to live, and he is really short of money.

So how do you build the faith of the people?

Xiong Huai thought for a while and said, "Taifu Yin, all the money in Taifu should still be there now!" โ€

Dou You nodded and said: "Back to the king, it is exactly, now that the new wheat has just been planted, whether it is the previous money or the taxes recovered from various places, it has not been used. โ€

Xiong Huai nodded and said, "Okay, Taifu Yin, you go and arrange some people to pretend to be big businessmen from other countries, and then transport a few batches of wheat to Chu State, and then accept them all at the price of sixty-four yuan." โ€

"Then, isn't the crown prince officially apprenticed! Tomorrow, the widow will feast all the officials and nobles in Yingdu, and the widow will hold a flour banquet, all kinds of flour food will be eaten by everyone, and you can also pack and take it home when you leave, and you can bring as much as you want, as long as you can afford it. โ€

"Also, the widow's new palace must be built, not only must be built, but it must be built tall and large, but it must be spent as little as possible, as long as it does not fall within three years, it will be considered a credit."

Saying that, Xiong Huai sighed: "It's a pity that there is no shadow of paper now, otherwise the widow will be able to paste out three palaces!" โ€

Then, Xiong Huai's face turned red and said in a loud voice: "In short, the widow wants to tell all the people that the widow is not short of money, and the Chu country is not short of money, and even foreign merchants are not deceiving, will they still deceive the people of their own country?" โ€

โ€œยทยทยทโ€

The three of them were dumbfounded, and told the people of Chu that the character of the king of Chu was undoubted, and this seemed to have an effect...

As long as the lies are not exposed!

The three of them glanced at each other, and then they all bowed down: "The king is wise..."

"Hahaha." Xiong Huai laughed.

At this time, a waiter hurriedly walked in from the back of the hall and came to Li Qiu's side and whispered softly.

When Li Qiu heard this, he immediately walked over happily and said, "King, the queen has sent a message, Qin Meiren is about to give birth." โ€

Xiong Huai was stunned when he heard this.

When the three of them heard this, they congratulated: "Congratulations for the king!" โ€

Xiong Huai came to his senses and showed great joy.

Then he didn't say anything, waved his hand, let the three of them leave, and then walked towards the harem with a smile.

A few hours later, in a complicated mood of nervousness, anticipation, worry, etc., Qin Meimei gave birth to a son for Xiong Huai.

So, what should I call for it?

Xiong Huai suddenly felt that he was so uneducated.

Soon, Xiong Huai, who was full of joy, met with the crown prince Fu Huanyuan.

"Sir, the widow has just gotten a son, and he plans to choose a name for him, but he is a little worried that the name is not good, Mr. is erudite and talented, so the widow specially invited Mr. to give advice, please give him some advice."

Huan Yuan smiled: "Congratulations to the king, congratulations to the king, I don't know what the king plans to choose for the prince." โ€

Naming his son, this is also only the right of the king of Chu, and it is not the first time that the king of Chu has named his son, no matter what name the king of Chu makes, Huanyuan intends to say yes.

Hearing Huan Yuan's inquiry, Xiong Huai said embarrassedly: "The widow is overjoyed now, his thoughts are confused, and he doesn't know what to name..."

โ€œยทยทยทโ€

Xiong Huai saw Huan Yuan frozen there, and asked, "Sir, are there any rules for naming names and avoiding them?" โ€

Huan Yuan eased his mind and said: "Great King, since ancient times, the method of naming is nothing more than five kinds: faith, righteousness, image, falsehood, and kind. โ€

"Xin refers to the name of the birthmark of the body at the time of birth, Yi refers to the name of the auspicious rui that appeared at the time of birth, Xiang refers to the name of something similar to the body parts of the child, false refers to the name of all things, and the class is to give a name similar to the father. The king can choose one and name his son. โ€

Xiong Huai asked again, "Sir, is there anything that needs to be avoided?" โ€

Huan Yuan shook his head and said: "The king, the prince is the fourth son of the king, not the eldest son of the prince, so there is no need to avoid anything?" Even if it is a cheap name, it also represents the king's love for his son, and there is nothing wrong with it. โ€

As soon as Xiong Huai heard that the eldest son needed to be avoided, he immediately asked: "Please give me advice, if it is the eldest son, what does it need to avoid?" โ€

Huan Yuan glanced at the King of Chu suspiciously, and then spoke: "Great King, because the prince is the one who will inherit the throne in the future, once the prince ascends the throne, then the people need to avoid the name of the king." โ€

Therefore, when naming the prince, the first thing is to avoid using the name of the country, so as not to cause disputes. Then avoid using the name of the official position, and avoid the confusion caused by the abolition of the official position in the future. Then avoid naming famous mountains and rivers, lest the people be confused and unintentionally offend the king. Also avoid the names of the animals, lest they offend the spirits during the sacrifice. Finally, it cannot be named with instrumental coins. Everything is for the convenience of the ministers and the people. โ€

Xiong Huai nodded, now this son, looking at his heart, should be given a better name.

But what is it good to call?

Xiong Huai's head was in chaos.

At this moment, Chen Zhen hurriedly walked over from the outside.

When Xiong Huai saw Chen Zhen's hurried appearance, he wondered in his heart: "Could it be that Maimi's plan has had another twist and turn?" โ€

When he thought of Maimi, Xiong Huai thought that he was very poor.

When I thought of poverty, a name blurted out: "Wangcai." โ€

"Good name." After Huanyuan said it, he tried hard to think about what is good about this name?

Huan Yuan knew that the king of Chu owed a lot of debts that had not been repaid, so he considered it and said: "The king is happy not only to forget the state affairs, but always concerned about the fate and future of the Chu country. Wangcai, this is the auspicious correspondence when the son was born, that is, the expectation of the son, but also the expectation of the Chu State, this... That's a good name. โ€

"Uh..." Xiong Huai glanced at Huanyuan, and then said: "Well, this name is good, the cheap name is easy to support, and the widow just hopes that he can grow up peacefully." โ€

At this time, Chen Zhen hurriedly walked in and said: "King, the north is urgent, ten days ago, Yan Zhao officially sent troops to attack Zhongshan Kingdom. โ€

Xiong Huai was stunned when he heard this, and muttered: "It's been cloudy for a few months, and it's finally raining." โ€

A few months ago, during the alliance of the Three Jin and Chu Kingdoms, the grain lent by the Qin State to the Yan State was slightly burned by a fire on the Yan-Zhao border.

Then King Zhao and King Yan made an alliance and jointly threw this pot on Zhongshan Kingdom.

However, because Yan was seriously short of food, all kinds of waste were waiting to be rebuilt, and they were busy with farming, so the two countries asked the king of Zhongshan to give an explanation, compensate Yan and Zhao for their losses, and hand over the murderer.

King Zhongshan resolutely disagreed with this.

Finally, after the harvest of Yan Kingdom, Yan Zhao sent troops to Zhongshan at the same time.

When the war broke out, although Zhongshan was prepared, it was still defeated in the face of the strong attack of Yan and Zhao.
