At the same time as Gongsun Yan's action, Chen Zhen was also going to Wei, because this time Tian Yan also came with King Wei Xiang, Gongsun Yan deliberately avoided Tian Xu.

Before, the two regarded each other as enemies, fighting openly and secretly for many years, and each had its own victory and defeat, but now Gongsun Yan is a Chu minister, and then think about the king of Wei's request for Maimi, there is a good chance that Tian will be obstructed, so Chen Zhen is responsible for buying grain from Wei.

Unlike Gongsun Yan through his uncle, Chen Zhen directly asked to see King Wei Xiang.

"Foreign minister Chen Zhen pays a visit to the King of Wei."

"No courtesy." After King Wei Xiang saw Chen Zhen get up, he glanced at Tian Zhen beside him, and then looked at Chen Zhen and said with a smile: "Qing came to see the widow at this time, but what important matter does the king of Chu have to explain to the widow?" ”

As soon as King Wei spoke, he lowered his posture and was as approachable as ever.

The king of Chu sold steamed buns, and Wei was the first to know, and the matter of flour and wheat could not be hidden from Wei at all, and concealment made Wei look down on Chu.

And now that Princess Wei has just become the princess of Chu, and now Chu and Wei are in the stage of friendship, so Chen Zhen went straight to the point with a single knife.

"Don't dare." Chen Zhen bowed and said: "My lord, because of the lack of wheat and flour in our country, the widow sent a special minister to ask the king to buy wheat and rice. ”

King Wei Xiang smiled: "I don't know how much wheat and rice the King of Chu plans to buy from our country?" ”

Chen Zhen looked at King Wei Xiang, then glanced at Tian Yu with his eyes, and said tentatively: "Back to the king, our country plans to ask your country for 500,000 stone of wheat and rice. ”

Because Wei is not Korea, Chen Zhen did not mention the plan for the next year, but only planned to fish out the wheat and rice in Wei's current treasury first.

After speaking, Chen Zhen's eyes kept staring at Tian Yu to see what Wei Guo was planning.

Although King Wei Xiang is the monarch, Chen Zhen knows very well that the national strategy of Wei is basically formulated by Tian Xu, and King Wei Xiang also obeys Tian Xu's words.

Only this time, Tian Xu has been closing his eyes all the time, and his face has not changed in the slightest.

However, after hearing Chen Zhen's words, King Wei Xiang paused for a moment, and then shook his head and said: "The widow heard that the king of Chu exempted the people of Chu from taxes for two years, resulting in a shortage of food for himself, which is a great benevolent government." ”

"But the King of Chu's subsequent act of making flour is simply a desperate act of luxury, and few people dare not agree with this."

Chen Zhen was shocked when he heard this, could it be that the King of Wei was planning to use the excuse of dissuading the King of Chu to refuse the grain loan from the Chu State.

"Although the widow is stupid, but the king of Chu first abolished the flesh punishment, and then exempted from taxes, it is all benevolent and righteous, and now the king of Chu is making flour probably has a deep meaning that the widow has not thought of."

"Now that the king of Chu is short of grain, as the in-law of the state of Chu, how can the widow abandon it, so the widow decided to sell all the wheat and rice in the treasury of the state of Wei to the king of Chu to make all the relatives of Chu and Wei."

As soon as King Wei said this, Chen Zhen was taken aback, but Tian Xu was still expressionless, as if he hadn't heard anything.

Chen Zhen swallowed his saliva, turned his eyes to King Wei Xiang, and asked, "I don't know how much wheat and rice the king is willing to sell to our country." ”

King Wei Xiang said with a smile: "The widow heard that wheat can be used to make flour, so let people try it, and sure enough, the bun is indeed a rare delicacy in the world, so the widow bought some wheat in Wei, and now the widow has a million stone wheat and rice, I don't know if the king of Chu can buy it all." ”

As soon as Chen Zhen's mind turned, he knew that this was a temptation of the Wei State, and he wanted to find out the true attitude of the Chu State towards Maimi.

Millions of stone wheat rice, this is probably the wheat accumulated by Wei over the years!

After this transaction is completed, I am afraid that the wheat in the treasury of Wei will be emptied.

With so much wheat and rice for temptation, Wei is really generous.

But how long the stone mill can be kept secret, no one knows now, it may be a year, it may be five years, in the face of this situation, of course, it is to eat this batch of wheat first, even if Wei knows that there are ghosts in the wheat rice, the price of a million stones is enough.

Thinking of this, Chen Zhen smiled and said: "The king helps the needy, he is really a benevolent and righteous king, and the king is grateful to the king." ”

After Chen Zhen left.

Tian Yu suddenly opened his eyes, a pair of old eyes exuded a dazzling brilliance, and said to King Wei Xiang: "King, although I don't know what the use of wheat rice is, but through the matter of Chu State's acquisition of millions of stone wheat rice, we can infer that wheat rice must be of great use. ”

"If wheat and rice can only be used to make flour, then the next strategy of the Chu State is either to raise the grain prices of all countries in the world, or to suppress the grain prices of all countries in the world, so as to hit the farmers of all countries."

"Therefore, Weichen's suggestion, after the autumn harvest this year, call on the people of the whole country to plant wheat and rice, so as to store wheat and rice, and strictly implement the Pingguang policy handed down by the former ancestor Wenhou, and fix the price of corn at 30 yuan and one stone, so as to prevent the Chu State from attacking the Wei State through grain prices."

King Wei Xiang nodded and sighed: "It's a pity that I, the ministers of the Wei State, have been discussing this matter for more than a month, but I have not been able to see through the strategy of the Chu State, and the few people are deeply worried. ”

Tian Xu persuaded: "King, how can you see through everything in the world, King Wen was detained, Guan Zi was also defeated by Cao Di, and Shang Jun entered Qin and was torn apart, which shows that the world is unpredictable." ”

"Sun Ziyun: Knowing oneself and knowing the other is invincible, knowing oneself and not knowing the other, the victory and defeat are half. Those who are invincible in a hundred battles, but there are only two Sun and Wu throughout the ages, and the rest of the talents are half of the winners and losers, so when the king can't see the enemy's countermeasures clearly, he only needs to guard himself and not lose. ”

"Now the Wei State is in urgent need of recuperation, in the case of the weakened Qi State and the Qin State being trapped in Guanzhong, the only one who can pose a threat to the Wei State is the Chu State, and the Chu State wants to dominate the world, the first opponent to face is not our Wei State, but the Qin State, so now our Wei State only needs to be close to the Chu State, and we can be guaranteed peace for several years, with this time, plus the harvest from selling rice this time, the king is enough to train a Wei warrior again, and then the Wei State can be worry-free."

King Wei Xiang sighed and said: "Okay, then follow the policy of Xiangguo, rest and recuperate, accumulate national strength, and in the future, the widow decides to eat only two meals, shrink clothes and diet, even if he can't restore the hegemony of Wei, he must be able to protect himself in the confrontation of various countries." ”

After Xiong Huai received Chen Zhen's return, he was shocked and shocked by King Wei's generosity.

At this moment, Xiong Huai was a little suspicious that he was so desperate to buy wheat and rice, whether he was a little too impatient!

Although Wei may have thoughts about Maimi this time, it seems that it is worth it to hollow out Wei's Maimi in one go this time.

Xiong Huai suddenly had an unreliable idea in his mind, if he waited for the wheat and rice of Wei to be transported to Chu, and then the nobles of Wei would drum up a stone mill, would King Wei be angry with himself.
