"Childe Ann?" Xiong Huai was stunned for a moment, and glanced at Chen Zhen, and both of them showed a ray of joy.

This Gongzi An is also a regular guest of the Chu State, and has represented the Yan State as an envoy to the Chu State many times, and every time he comes with heavy gifts.

Between the confrontation between Qi and Wei Chu, when the Yan State was attacking Zhongshan, the arrival of Gongzi An was undoubtedly another good thing.

Thinking about it, Xiong Huai immediately ordered: "Quick, please ask Gongzi An to come and see the widow." ”

"Yui."

After a short time, Gongzi An came to the main hall accompanied by Qu Yuan.

After the ceremony.

Xiong Huai looked at Gongzi An and said, "I don't know if Gongzi has any advice?" ”

"Don't dare!" Gongzi An arched his hand and said: "Great King, there are three things for the widow to let his ministers come to Chu, one is that the widow heard that the Qi State and the Chu State clashed again, although the widow monarch did not like the domineering of the Qi State, but the Yan State was weak and could not confront the Qi State. Therefore, the widow can only send troops to Zhongshan to deal with your country.

At the same time, when the Ejun of Yandi heard that a great war broke out when the war of Chu broke out, he was worried that the military resources of Chu were insufficient, so he asked the widow to buy food and ordnance. When the widow heard this, the special envoy brought 500,000 stones of corn, 3 million arrows, 50,000 iron swords, and 100,000 spears from the sea, thinking that they were for the use of the Chu State. ”

Xiong Huai was stunned when he heard this, and couldn't help frowning.

The things sent by King Yan were indeed urgently needed by the Chu State.

Although there is no shortage of grain in Chu now, after many years of the war, there is not much left in the warehouse of Taifu, and in the case of tax exemption this year, there is basically no grain income, all supported by the previous reserves. If nothing happens, once something happens, it will be difficult for the Chu State to support a long-standing war again.

As the saying goes, be prepared, the things sent by Yan Guo can indeed allow Chu Guo to hold on for a lot longer.

The reason why Xiong Huai did not show joy, but frowned, was because the things sent by Yan Guo wanted Chu State to continue to drag down the three kingdoms of Qin, Qi and Wei, so that Yan Guo could have more time to clean up Zhongshan Kingdom and get more benefits from Zhongshan Kingdom.

However, at this moment, Xiong Huai had already decided to make peace with the Qin State.

As soon as Qin and Chu talk about peace, Qi and Wei will inevitably withdraw their troops, so at this time, accepting the heavy gift of Yan Guo is undoubtedly just accepting the benefits of Yan Wang, and then immediately pit Yan Guo down.

Originally, Yan Guo was invited by Zhao State to attack Zhongshan, and Chu State pitted Yan and Zhao countries, so that the two countries worked in vain, and the two countries had nothing to say.

After all, Zhao Guo was unrighteous first, while Yan Guo was purely picking up cheap.

And now, Yan Guo has made it clear that he will attack Zhongshan City to support Chu State, which is nothing, the key is that things are hot.

If you want it, the peace between Qin and Chu will affect the relationship between Chu and Yan, don't do it, Yan will be suspicious.

At this time, Gongzi An saw that the king of Chu was silent, and his face was not happy, so he couldn't help asking: "King, is there anything wrong with the things sent by our country?" ”

When Xiong Huai heard this, he immediately smiled and said, "Of course not." ”

As he spoke, Xiong Huai looked at Chen Zhen, who was accompanying him.

Chen Zhen nodded, and then immediately walked out and said: "The prince has sent such a heavy gift from thousands of miles away, and the widow has always been benevolent and righteous, so he naturally does not want to see the Yan Kingdom suffer, so the Kingdom of Yan must show something to the Yan King." ”

Saying that, Chen Zhen showed a hint of hesitation and said: "It's just that this time the king of Yan sent all the military funds, and they are all things that my Chu country urgently needs. ”

Then, Chen Zhen looked at Gongzi'an and asked: "I don't know if Gongzi knows what King Yan likes, whether it is a treasure beauty or other objects, please ask Gongzi to speak, and our country will definitely not disappoint King Yan." ”

Gongzi An smiled, there was no surprise in his heart, every time he came to Chu to give gifts over the years, the King of Chu never let Yan Guo suffer, which is also the reason why King Yan was willing to frequently give to Chu State.

Otherwise, the Yan Kingdom, which was poor and weak before, would not be so atmospheric.

It is precisely because he brought back a large amount of ore from the Chu State that the Yan State, which had been suffering calculations one after another not long after the restoration of the country, was able to quickly recover its strength.

Similarly, most of these weapons are also made of ore from the Chu State. It is precisely because of the support of a large number of Chu ores that a large number of Chu craftsmen have not only been trained, but also the level of Yan craftsmen has been improved.

Thinking about it, Gongzi An smiled and arched his hand: "The widow is diligent and diligent in the Yan Kingdom, and the treasures and beauties are all not what the widow wants." Of course, the difficulties of your country can also be understood, so if you can, the king can repay the widow with ore. ”

Xiong Huai glanced at Gongzi An and replied with a smile: "Okay, then this transaction will be settled with ore." ”

After speaking, Xiong Huai asked again: "I don't know what the second thing King Yan said?" ”

Gongzi An said with a smile: "The widow knows that there are many wheat and rice planted in the Chu Kingdom, and recently our country has obtained two new artifacts, one is a stone mill and the other is a stone mill. The widow was overjoyed to get this artifact, and he also did not dare to take it for himself, so the special minister sent these two things to the state of Chu to help the king. ”

Xiong Huai was stunned when he heard this, and an idea instantly appeared in his mind, the matter of the stone mill was leaked.

Then, I remembered that in the past few months, the price of wheat and rice in various countries has risen sharply, and it has become equal to that of high-quality corn.

Originally, Xiong Huai thought that after years of war, all countries were short of food.

But... Now it seems that the matter of stone milling has been leaked a long time ago, so countries have raised the price of wheat and rice.

Moreover, I am afraid that now all countries have reacted, and in the food crisis in a few years, the two countries of Qi and Chu fought hard, probably just for the sake of Maimi. Moreover, after the end of the war, the price of wheat in various countries fell sharply again, so that all the wheat and rice in each country flowed to Qi and Chu.

Now that the truth is revealed, presumably all countries know that after the war between Qi and Chu, they immediately reached a tacit understanding, and then joined forces to pit countries for several years.

I think that after all countries know about the stone mill and the stone mill, they should all grit their teeth with hatred for Qi and Chu.

As for Yan Guoming, he knew that Chu State had already had a stone mill, and he also sent the stone mill to Chu State...

Xiong Huai groaned slightly, and then reacted.

King Yan wants to show his broad-mindedness to the world, wheat is cheap and flour is extremely expensive, ordinary people have wheat but don't eat it often, and they want to eat flour but can't eat it. King Yan held such an artifact in his hand, but he did not hide it, but made it public.

Especially when there is an urgent need to use wheat to make flour for national affairs in the war of various countries, it is even more difficult for King Yan's people-oriented thinking to be used.

Such an act will certainly greatly win the hearts and minds of the people. If the people of the world are singing about the kindness of King Yan, this will inevitably shock the people of the world. From now on, people of insight in the world may not be like now, with the small country of Yan, the talent of King Yan is insufficient, and he is unwilling to go to Yan country.

Although Yan Wang's talent is insufficient, his virtue is sufficient.

Thinking about it, Xiong Huai sighed in his heart, the Yan King who jumped up and down before was too far from the Yan Zhao King in his mind. Until after several years of precipitation, to this day, the current Yan King is the real Yan Zhao King!

Xiong Huai has a hint of enlightenment, and when the news of King Yan first announcing the stone mill and stone mill spreads all over the world, I am afraid that there will be real sages who will pay attention to King Yan.
