Chen Zhen on the side looked at Jing Carp in surprise, as if he was meeting Jing Carp for the first time, it was too unexpected.

Xiong Huai looked at Jing Li in shock, and suddenly found that his Ling Yin seemed to be a different person today, how did he come up with such a clever strategy!

Xiong Huai said with a smile: "Ling Yin is worthy of the country's state, and it is an honor for a widow to be able to make Yin Xiangxiang." ”

Jing Li's eyes were full of smugness and modesty: "The king praised it falsely, the minister didn't dare to take the credit, the minister just picked up people's teeth and wisdom, this is the merit of the Taifu!" ”

"Taifu?" Xiong Huai is unknown.

Huan Yuan has served as the Taifu for almost a year, except for the three gifts that he loosened when he just returned to the Chu State, most of the time in the past year, he has been either teaching the crown prince or writing "Pipe" silently, if he hadn't specially summoned him, I am afraid he would not have seen Huan Yuan's face.

"Ling Yin, could it be that this strategy was made by Taifu?"

Jing Li shook his head and said: "Great King, it's not like that, Taifu Daxian, it's just that the minister's morality is shallow, and he can't listen to Taifu's teachings in person, so he can only read Taifu's handwriting." ”

"A few days ago, when Weichen went to Taixue to inspect, he accidentally saw the book "Guanzi" sent by Taifu to Taixue, which recorded two things about Guanzi raising money in the past, that is, the unique thatch and stone were set as tribute to the tribute, after the implementation of the policy, thatch and stone became more expensive than gold, so the minister got inspiration from it, originally wanted to set Maimi as the tribute for the next feudal monarchs, and then had a whim, to further promote this policy, which led to the previous policy, everyone can choose to pay taxes with wheat and rice."

Dou You nodded when he heard this, and said secretly: It seems that I will have to go to Taixue often in the future.

While nodding, I inadvertently saw Chen Zhen also nodding, glanced at each other, and glanced over in an instant.

"I see!" Xiong Huai said with a smile: "The book "Pipe" has always been placed in Taixue, and every time Taifu writes a "Pipe", it is immediately sent to Taixue for Taixue students to watch. ”

"Ling Yin only watched it once, and he could think of a strategy for governing the country, which not only requires Ling Yin's talent, but also shows that Ling Yin always takes the Chu State to heart."

"With just this strategy, Ling Yin will save tens of thousands of gold or even hundreds of thousands of gold for the Chu State, and make up for the shortcomings of Maimi's plan, if Maimi's plan is successful, Yin should remember the first credit."

After sighing, Xiong Huai was silent for a while, then stood up, walked beside Jing Li, helped Jing Li up, and said: "Ling Yin's merit, if you don't reward it, it's not enough to remember this merit." ”

Saying that, Xiong Huai raised his voice and said: "Ling Yin Xiance is meritorious, and the widow decided to reward Yin Jinqian and seal Maijun." ”

Feng Maijun, this is the title of Fengjun, there is no fief for the time being, but this is nothing to Jing Li, he has only been Ling Yin for two years, and this has the title of Feng Jun, which can be said to exceed most Ling Yin in the past dynasties of Chu State.

Hearing this, Jing Li bowed down excitedly and said, "Thank you, the king!" ”

Looking at Jing Carp who was saluting, Dou You and Chen Zhen on one side couldn't help but show envy, but when they thought of the benefits of this policy, they could only sigh that this was what Jing Carp deserved.

After Jing Li got up, Xiong Huai ordered: "Summon, tell the feudal lords and people of the whole country that after the autumn harvest this year, all the agricultural taxes paid can be deducted with the same weight of wheat and rice." ”

······

Qi country Linzi.

When the king of Qi got the news of the state of Chu and discussed with the prince of Qi to no avail, he summoned Ji Zi, who had the most guess about the state of Chu and asked the king of Qi, "Sir, the widow got the news from the state of Chu, and the price of wheat purchased by the state of Chu has been falling from sixty-four yuan to thirty yuan now. Even if a large number of wheat from various countries poured into Chu, the price of wheat purchased by Chu has not fallen. ”

"Not only that, according to the recent news from the Chu State, the Chu State has elevated the status of wheat and rice, so that the price of wheat and rice is equal to the highest price of grain."

"There are all kinds of signs that the State of Chu has made a big move in Maimi, and the widow has doubts in his heart, so he specially asks Mr. to solve the doubts for the widow."

Since Ji Zi offered extravagant strategies to the King of Qi, he has been reused by the King of Qi and is responsible for promoting the extravagant plan in the Qi Kingdom.

As for the news of Chu State, Ji Zi, who has been paying attention to the prices of various products at home and abroad, naturally knows it, but he knows it, and he has never understood the secrets.

Now in the face of King Qi's inquiry, Ji Zi had no choice but to salute and say: "King, the minister doesn't know the secret of Chu's acquisition of wheat rice, but the purpose of Chu is nothing more than two kinds, one is that wheat is of great use, Chu is hoarding wheat and rice, and the other is to attack other countries through wheat and rice." ”

"Therefore, the minister's countermeasures are still the same as before, our Qi country also hoards wheat and rice, controls the price of grain in the whole country, and strictly leaves the country."

It was the same old method at the beginning, and King Qi was disappointed and helpless, and then asked: "Sir, I don't know how the extravagant strategy has been implemented for a year, and I don't know how effective it is." ”

As soon as he heard King Qi ask about his profession, Ji Zi immediately said with a radiant look: "Great King, according to the recent observation of the ministers in the entire Qi country, since the implementation of the extravagant policy for one year, the poor people in the Qi country have been gradually decreasing. The number of idle homeless people in the city has decreased significantly, and not only that, but the countries around our Qi country have also many homeless people pouring into the metropolis of Qi country. ”

King Qi was overjoyed when he heard this: "Is this true, sir? ”

The people of all countries come here, doesn't this show their prestige and righteousness!

Before, because of the melancholy of the Chu State, it was suddenly swept away, and it turned to be full of joy.

Ji Zibai said: "King, this matter has been repeatedly verified by Weichen, and there will be no mistake." ”

At this time, the prince on the side spoke: "King, what Ji Zi said is true, and Weichen also knows a little about this matter, but what makes Weichen feel strange is that it seems that only homeless people from various countries come to Qi Country. Except for the perished Teng country, where farmers came to our country, few farmers from other countries came to Qi. ”

Ji Zi nodded and said, "King, Xiangguo's words are true, and Weichen is also studying why this situation happened. ”

King Qi said smugly: "Okay, no matter what the reason is, as long as the people of other countries come to our Qi country, this is a good thing." ”

Ji Zi paused, and then said, "The king, the minister also discovered a strange thing. ”

King Qi gathered his mind and asked, "What did Mr. find?" ”

Ji Zi pondered: "Great King, Wei Chen was ordered to use extravagant tactics and used a large amount of money in the treasury of the Qi State, and in the first few months, the money in the treasury was greatly reduced. However, since six months ago, the revenues of the local government treasury have begun to increase, and since three months ago, the income of many local government treasuries has exceeded the expenditure and turned to surplus. ”

"The minister has not yet found out why this is, so he asked the king to send more manpower, and the minister wants to get a glimpse of the meaning."

“···” King Qi was shocked when he heard this: "This kind of thing can happen..."

Before he could continue to ask, he saw a waiter come and say, "King, Zhang Yi, the envoy of the Qin State, is visiting." ”
