Chapter 440: Watson, You've Found a Blind Spot! (3rd Update)

In fact, at this time, most of the nobles of Zhao State in the main hall knew very well in their hearts that this matter was basically inseparable from Zhao Dan.

But...... It doesn't make sense!

Everyone knows that this young Zhao monarch is a generation of virtuous monarchs, and in less than ten years after his accession to the throne, he led Zhao to defeat Qin twice in a row, making Zhao the first power in the world today.

Such a monarch will have nothing to do to amuse when he is full? And it was also at the critical moment when Handan City was besieged for two months, and it was necessary to borrow grain from the nobles of Zhao State present?

There must be something hidden in this.

If it weren't for the fact that many people thought of this, then the people in this hall would have been almost gone at this moment.

But even so, the sound of complaints in the hall almost drowned out Zhao Sheng.

For these accusations, Zhao Sheng smiled and did not refute them.

In fact, the food that Jin Jue needed listed on this list was not made by Zhao Dan and Zhao Sheng with a pat on their heads, but was formulated by supervising the infiltration of the major aristocratic families and obtaining the information of the aristocratic families.

Otherwise, how could it be so accurate to block most people's path to the throne?

Hmph, Jin Jue Jin Jue, this title is so easy to promote?

Is the country so easy to take advantage of?

Zhao Sheng sneered in his heart, but he raised his hand with a smile on his face, made a downward posture, and said to these nobles: "Everyone, please be restless, don't be impatient!" ”

After the nobles quieted down, Zhao Sheng continued to speak: "As for your opinions, Sheng feels that it is up to discussion. Sheng would like to ask you here, is it the food that is more important or is it more important to promote the title? ”

The hall was quiet for a while, but immediately someone retorted: "Pingyuan-kun, although we also know that this title is definitely not so easy to obtain, and we have no opinion if we want to take out most of the food to support the king, but if the food of most of these people is not enough to be promoted, what is the point of this matter today?" ”

This person obviously said the hearts of many nobles of Zhao State, so after he said this, many people loudly expressed their approval, venting their dissatisfaction with being played.

Looking at the disappointed and angry looks of these Zhao nobles in front of him, Zhao Sheng, who was questioned, not only did not have any dissatisfaction on his face, but still maintained enough patience and smile.

It was at this time that Zhao Sheng suddenly remembered the question he had raised when this plan was formulated.

"If that's the case, my lord, what should we do if the nobles are angry?"

For this question, Zhao Dan also smiled very brightly.

"Pingyuanjun, this title is not a cabbage, how can it be promoted casually? Hmph, these guys, now when the country is in danger, they don't want to contribute, but instead cover the food one by one, and want to bargain with the widow, it's just damning! Of course, this title can be exchanged, but it must not be exchanged in the way they want! ”

Looking at the excited nobles in front of him, Zhao Sheng suddenly felt that what his king said was really right.

Zhao Sheng smiled and said to the nobles of Zhao Kingdom in the hall: "Please don't get excited, you must know that the king is a benevolent king, and he has always thought about the people. ”

Zhao Sheng paused, and then continued: "Haven't you ever thought that this title is actually not just used for promotion, but can be exchanged? Is it true that you have only one eldest son in your heart, and no other favorite son? ”

As soon as Zhao Sheng's words came out, the entire hall suddenly became silent.

Because of Zhao Sheng's words, the nobles of Zhao Kingdom present discovered a blind spot in their thinking.

Although this grain can be used to promote the knighthood, but ...... In fact, it can also be used to make your own knighthood even more!

For example, if there is a doctor present, the title will pass to his eldest son after his death.

But must this doctor be very satisfied with this eldest son? Not necessarily.

In many cases, a parent with many children does not necessarily prefer the eldest child, but rather the younger child.

But after all, primogeniture is a system, a system that has been established since the establishment of the Zhou Dynasty and has been maintained for thousands of years.

Although it is not impossible to violate this system, in many cases, the inertia of this system that has been passed down for hundreds or thousands of years is very amazing, causing many nobles to be reluctant to violate such an inheritance system even if they do not like the eldest son in their hearts.

But now the opportunity has come.

As long as the doctor is willing to give enough food, then he can also get a knighthood for his favorite young son.

Of course, ordinary titles will not be taken into account, but the title of a doctor is enough to ensure that this young son can also be among the nobles of Zhao State.

In this way, after the death of this senior doctor, his eldest son was demoted to the rank of lower doctor, and the youngest son was also a lower doctor, which means that the two children are standing on the same starting line.

Isn't this a great joy for this father, who prefers young sons?

So soon, all the complaints and dissatisfaction disappeared in an instant.

A white-haired doctor Zhao raised his hand tremblingly and said, "I am willing to exchange 10,000 stones of grain stored at home for the title of a doctor!" ”

Almost at the same time, the voice of another Zhao Guoxia also sounded: "I am willing to exchange 50,000 stones of grain at home for the title of middle doctor!" ”

"I would like to ......"

Many voices rushed towards Zhao Sheng at the same time, completely drowning Zhao Sheng in an instant.

Soon, the amount of grain donated by many nobles has reached a staggering 200,000 stones, and this number is still increasing.

In the end, all the numbers were fixed at 320,000 stones.

Zhao Sheng held the pledge list in front of him, and he was very excited.

With these 320,000 stone grains, it is at least enough for Handan City to hold on for an extra month!

Moreover, there were some Zhao nobles present who hesitated and did not immediately pledge food.

But Zhao Sheng believes that as long as he waits for a few days, there will be more people who pledge food.

After all, once those favored young sons know about this, isn't it a big deal?

It was definitely a matter of time before these hesitant nobles relented.

In this way, the food in Handan City can last for two months.

Zhao Sheng believed that these two months were enough for Zhao's army to achieve a decisive victory in other directions!
