Chapter 12: King Qi's Thoughts

"Salt...... What is it? The old slave was puzzled and hurriedly asked.

He felt that in just one day, the king had undergone a drastic change.

not only defused the danger, won over the loyal and good, and belittled the traitorous ministers, but also said what he said, so that he, an old man who had been in the palace all his life, could not understand......

Wang Guo was also shocked.

What's that? Don't know what salt is?

Isn't there even salt in this world?

Wang Guo's worldview has once again been distorted.

Compared with the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period in history, this world obviously has higher social productivity, not only iron tools appeared early, but also currencies such as gold and silver have long become hard currency.

As a result, he thought that this dynasty, which was far more developed than in real history, turned out to be so backward in terms of food!

At this time, salt was not even invented!

Okay......

Wang Guo was a little impulsive to flip the table, but knew that it would not help.

"This salt is the crystalline body of the dried seawater...... Wang Guo said weakly.

"Wonderful, my king lives deep in the palace, and he still understands this sea water!" Sima Wanyi hurriedly praised repeatedly, "Our sea country is backed by the sea, and the people only know how to fish on weekdays, but no one has ever thought about what will happen if the sea water is dried." After all, drying water, isn't it stupid? ”

Wang Guo's eyes were cold.

This Sima Yuyi, can he speak in the end!

How can you be stupid when you dry seawater? Obviously, you are a person from this world, and you have no imagination or creativity at all!

And the phrase "wonderful", isn't it a mantra of widows? Why was you also learned by your Sima Yuyi?

Wang Guo thought about it in his heart for a while, but found that instead of thinking about it, he became more and more angry, but his mind was much calmer.

Wonderful, it's all widows, and the name has been changed well!

Every time he thought of the words "Sima Wanyi", he felt a lot of displeasure in his chest, and most of it was soothed.

"Alright, the widow is going to continue eating, you can step down." Wang Guo waved his hand and motioned for Sima Wanyi to step back.

Now that he knows that there is no salt, no matter how he chooses this meal, it is impossible for him to taste it.

Forget it, anyway, the general will rebel soon, and when you return to the real world, let's make up for yourself with a few good meals......

As for organizing people to go to the salt drying? Don't make a fuss, who doesn't know that salt is profitable, if you don't have it, you won't have it.

It's okay to eat less salt for a few days, don't let this thing make a fortune again, and your way home will be farther and farther......

……

After dinner, Wang Guo wanted to go to the harem for a walk, but when he thought of his concubine, his thoughts were completely dispelled.

The so-called favorite concubine has an Internet celebrity face, and it is not that he is not a vegetable at all.

"It would be nice to introduce my internet celebrity roommate another day......" Wang Guo muttered.

After all, compared to the "His Royal Highness Luo", his favorite concubine is still too original, and his roommate should also like it......

As for the queen, Wang Guo didn't want to see it.

I originally wanted to take the opportunity to create an image of a faint gentleman who only loves beauty, but he was stabbed in the back, and he wanted to see the widow again?

Pull it down!

Wang Guo shrugged, sighed, and finally fell asleep after feeling idle.

Outside the dormitory.

With the help of the lights in the outer courtyard, Sima Wanyi recorded something on the bamboo slips one by one.

"The king has been on the throne for three years, and he has shown his talents; Above the court, the rebellion was quelled in a few words, the general was reinstated, and he reconciled with the queen, and then degraded the mourners......"

Sima Wanyi quickly remembered what the king had done one day, and muttered to himself: "The old slave's real name is Qian, I don't know why the king wants to give another name......

"Alas, it is really tiring to be entrusted by those historians to record the actions of the king every day......" (Note 1)

……

Huaxia country, the coast of the East China Sea, Qi country.

Unlike a small country like the Sea State, the Qi State was the overlord of the East in history, and in this world, it is still a prestigious existence among the vassal states.

Although the area of all the vassal states in this world has become smaller due to the increase in the number of countries and the fragmentation of the territory, the Qi State, as the overlord of the East, still occupies 80 cities.

In all respects, it is a sea country the size of only 3 counties.

Qi Palace.

"What? Wang Guobing put down the rebellion without bloodshed? And dismissed you? King Qi looked at Zhen Aishi who had returned in embarrassment in front of him, and couldn't help but be furious.

"Yes, I have always persuaded Wang Guo to fight with Jiang Shen, so that Haiguo is limited to internal friction, but Wang Guo was not fooled at all, and used the method of pretending to surrender to adopt offensive tactics against Jiang Shen, instead of falling into internal friction, he stabilized the situation."

Zhen Aishi looked at King Qi and trembled.

He knew that he was able to gain some power in the Sea Kingdom, and the funding of King Qi was indispensable behind him, but in the end, he didn't know where he didn't do well, and Wang Guo saw through the essence of being a traitor in the Sea Country at a glance!

His dream of becoming a monarch came to an end, and even the King of Qi's investment in him over the years was all in vain, which made him very frightened.

"Just a sea country, do you want to set off a storm?" King Qi snorted coldly and slapped the table, "You say, the widow wants to conquer the Sea Kingdom, how about it?" ”

Zhen Aishi was frightened, and hurriedly shook his head like a rattle: "My king, the minister thinks it's inappropriate." ”

Wang Guo had just subdued Jiang Shen, but he didn't mind, he directly appointed the power of the army, and even the forbidden army was under Jiang Shen's control. And Jiang Shen's sister-in-law, Jiang Shi, became the queen of listening to politics again, which shows Wang Guo's trust in Jiang Shen! The two of them are now joined forces, and the Sea Kingdom has reached the peak of its strength in recent decades, and if we Qi Kingdom wants to crusade, I am afraid that it will have to be consumed! ”

"Oh? Is the Sea Country so strong now? Doesn't the widow remember that he has an empty treasury and a lot of resentment? King Qi frowned, obviously not believing in the strength of the Sea Kingdom.

"Alas, my king, it's all to blame this Wang Guo for pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, hiding his strength!" Zhen sighed again and again.

"The minister has been the prime minister of the sea country for many years, and he thinks he knows everything about the sea country."

"I originally thought that the sea country was empty, and it must not be able to withstand such a toss as Jiang Shen's rebellion."

"But I don't know where Wang Guo got that kid's deposit silver, and he actually put out 300,000 taels at once!"

When Zhen Aishi said this, he couldn't help but see the scene of the silver filling the main hall in front of him, and he couldn't help but feel palpitations.

He didn't expect that Wang Guo, this kid, would be able to get 300,000 taels of silver under his nose!

"Three hundred thousand taels of silver?" King Qi repeated, a look of surprise in his eyes.

With the territory of 80 cities in his Qi country, it is a little difficult to make up 300,000 taels of silver in a short period of time, what kind of means can this sea monarch directly get 300,000 taels of silver under the nose of Zhen Aishi?

King Qi's face was heavy, he paced back and forth in the palace, and suddenly remembered something, and said: "Zhen Aishi, the widow remembers that there is a great drought in Haiguo this year, and there should not be enough food." ”

"Huh? What do I mean by the king? Zhen's eyes lit up.

"He has silver, but can it be eaten?" King Qi sneered, "Give an order to the countries around Haiguo, this year, no one can sell grain to Haiguo!" ”

I'm the dividing line (. ・ω・。 )***
