When Zhao Dan heard this, his face remained silent and asked, "The gold that Mr. said is not gold?" ”

Cai Ze nodded without hesitation and said, "King Mingjian, the one Ze is asking for is the gold of Baiyi." ”

Zhao Dan couldn't help but think in his heart when he heard this: "It seems that this Cai Ze is really very confident." ”

In this era, "gold" usually refers to bronze currency, that is, what shovel knife coins and the like, and thousands of gold or something usually refers to the same amount of bronze currency.

But when the unit "eridium" is used, gold generally refers to gold.

That's why Zhao Dan and Cai Zefang had such an answer.

"The Art of War: The Shape of the Army" once said: "Therefore, if the victorious soldier is called Eridium, if the defeated soldier is called Eridium, if the defeated soldier is called Eridium." ”

Words such as "eridium", "baht" and "tael" are all units of weights and measures in today's Warring States period.

Since the standards of weights and measures vary from country to country, so there are also differences in conversion standards.

According to Zhao's standard of weights and measures, one eridium is equal to twenty-four taels, so one hundred eridium is equivalent to two thousand four hundred taels.

Two thousand four hundred taels of gold, Cai Ze, this kid really dares to open his mouth!

Of course, the "two" of Zhao State today cannot be equated at all compared to the "two" of later generations.

But even so, it's a huge sum of money that can be called huge.

You must know that today's big man in the political arena of Zhao State, Zhao Dan's confidant Nei Shi Yuxin, when they met for the first time, they were rewarded with 100 gold by Zhao Dan, and the second time they met, they were directly named the lieutenant of Zhao Guo, and the knight was the secretary of Zhao State.

When Cai Ze opened his mouth like this, he completely regarded himself as the second Yu Xin.

I can say that I am very confident.

If it weren't for Zhao Dan knowing this Cai Ze's deeds in the history books, then this alone would be enough to give Cai Ze'an a first impression of being "pretentious and boastful".

No wonder this guy is not reused in both Yan and Wei, it is estimated that those two monarchs think that in addition to being ugly, he also likes to brag......

Zhao Dan coughed and said, "Sir, do you know that 100 Yi gold is not a small amount?" ”

Cai Ze was also right, and said: "Ze dares to ask the king, if the hundred Yi gold is compared with the removal of Fan Sui, which is more important?" ”

Zhao Dan said: "Naturally, it is important to remove Fan Sui. ”

Although Zhao Dan already knew the ending of Fan Sui, if he could get rid of Fan Sui as soon as possible, then of course Zhao Dan would be happy.

Historically, when Fan Sui died and the next famous minister of Qin came out, it was all about Lü Buwei's ascension to the throne during the Qin Shi Huang period.

Although Zhao Dan seems to have taken advantage of the current confrontation with Fan Sui, no matter what, Fan Sui still died early and was born early, so let's change to the mediocre Prime Minister of Qin.

So Zhao Dan said again: "If Mr. can get rid of Fan Sui, then Baiyi gold will naturally not be a problem." However, the widow wants to ask the gentleman, if the widow really rewards the gentleman with this hundred eridium gold, how should the gentleman solve this great problem for the widow? ”

Cai Ze smiled proudly, stroked the beard under his chin, and said, "Dare to teach the king to know that if Ze gets rid of Fan Sui, all he needs is this sharp tooth and sharp mouth." ”

Zhao Dan motioned for himself to listen.

Cai Ze said: "Since the Shang monarch changed the law, the monarchs of the Qin State in successive dynasties have all valued power but not virtue. If the courtiers benefit Qin, they will use it, and those who do not benefit from Qin will abandon it and kill it, which is Qin's disadvantage. In the past, Shang Jun was torn apart, and then there was a Marquis who was poisoned, all of which were like this. ”

"Fan Sui, this person, first helped Qin Wangji expel the four nobles in the front, and then offered distant friends and close attacks in the rear, which originally won the trust of Qin Wangji. However, since the defeat of Changping, Fan Sui's plan has been thwarted, and his prestige has been greatly lost. Now the king ordered the Three Jin Coalition to send troops to Hedong, but the main force of Qin was far away in Chu and it was difficult to come back, and the fall of Hedong was irreversible. In this way, Qin Wangji will not be able to believe Fan Sui as before. ”

"Therefore, the king only needs to give Ze Baiyi gold and a number of carriage servants, Ze will be able to enter Xianyang and say Qin, so that the monarchs and ministers of Qin will be completely centrifuged, and Fan Sui will definitely not be in the same phase, and he will no longer be the trouble of the king!"

Cai Ze's analysis was endless, making Zhao Dan sound like he was nodding secretly.

I have to say that it is already a very outstanding and rare thing to be able to see so many things in Cai Ze's current situation as a low-level intellectual, no wonder he can leave his name in the history books.

Therefore, Zhao Dan didn't ink, and quickly said to Cai Ze: "From the perspective of the widow, the words of the gentleman should be credible." ”

Cai Ze was overjoyed when he heard this, and saluted Zhao Dan and said, "In this case, Na Ze thanked the king!" ”

However, Zhao Dan's words were not finished.

I saw Zhao Dan smile meaningfully, and continued: "It's just that in the opinion of the widow, Mr.'s purpose is probably not to help the widow get rid of Fan Sui, right?" ”

The smile on Cai Ze's face suddenly stiffened slightly, and he said: "The king said that he was laughing, Ze actually meant ......"

"That's enough." Zhao Dan interrupted Cai Ze's words and said, "What Mr. means, the widow is actually very clear. And rest assured, the hundred gold and carriage slaves that the gentleman asked for were not a problem for the widow. But—"

Zhao Dan deliberately lengthened his tone and glanced at Cai Ze deeply.

Cai Ze was still smiling and looking at Zhao Dan, but he slowly couldn't laugh.

After a while, a cold sweat began to break out on Cai Ze's head.

It was only at this time that Zhao Dan slowly spoke: "What the widow wants Mr. to know is that it has never been a good choice to be an enemy of the widow and Zhao Guo. ”

Cai Ze breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and hurriedly said, "Only." The king's words are very true. ”

Zhao Dan looked at Cai Ze's flustered face expressionlessly, and secretly laughed in his heart.

Regarding Cai Ze's pretending to be forced at the beginning, Zhao Dan was actually a little unhappy in his heart.

Want to play tricks on the widows?

Do you still want to treat the widow as the wronged leader, and eventually become the big promoter of Ru Caize's ascendancy?

Dream!

Ru Caize's little scheme, the widow has already seen it clearly!

Don't you dare to pretend to be a widow anymore, do you? Hum.

However, since Cai Ze has now confessed, Zhao Dan is not too concerned about himself, so he said: "If Mr. is fine, then go to the pavilion to rest first, and someone will deliver the things that Mr. needs later, I just hope that Mr. will not forget what the widow said today." ”

Cai Ze didn't dare to say more, so he stood up and walked straight out of the hall, but he no longer had the demeanor of pointing out the country in front of Zhao Dan just now.

It wasn't until he stepped down the steps of the dragon platform and stepped on the ground with his feet that Cai Ze dared to look back at the tall palace behind him, stretched out his hand to wipe the sweat on his forehead, and secretly sighed in his heart.

"It is said that this Zhao Wang Dan is wise and martial, and now he is really extraordinary at first sight! With this Ming Jun, why worry that Zhao State can't dominate the princes? ”

Cai Ze suddenly hesitated.

Or - just stay in Zhao State?

Thinking about it, Cai Ze finally gritted his teeth and said fiercely: "Let's go, since I have a plan, then why should I be so forward-looking?" Just enter Qin, and wait until he will make plans one day! ”

With a wave of his sleeves, Cai Ze boarded the carriage that had been waiting for a long time under His Royal Highness Longtai, and headed towards Zhao Guo's pavilion.
