Chapter 157: The State of Chu Wants to Take Silver Mines!
"That's right, as the saying goes, every time you fight, you will lose a lot of money, and Wei has a silver mine, they have an inexhaustible supply of money, they can fight and develop at will, and in the end, it only took two years to make Wei strong to this point!"
"Your Majesty, the minister dares to conclude that the Wei State must have sent a silver mine, a very big, very big silver mine!"
The more he spoke, the more excited he became, as if he had discovered a silver mine.
Xiong Nai was also overjoyed, but his face became bitter again, "Transcription, having said that, however, Wei is far away from us, and Wei is strong, if our Chu State sends troops to attack Wei, let's not talk about whether to fight or not, let's just say that Wei will not use the silver mine as a condition to unite Qi Yue to launch a counterattack against our Chu?" ”
"This.... It's really hard to say, the temptation of silver ore is too great, especially the easy-to-open mining class, it is like a stunning beauty standing in front of her, even if you are an upright gentleman, you can't resist it, let alone the greedy Qi country! Transcript also frowned, completely devoid of the excitement he had just had.
"Alas!" Xiong Nai sighed heavily, but he couldn't eat the duck in his mouth, so he could only watch a slightly powerful dog gnawing indiscriminately.
"The minister is unwilling, such a blessing, how can it be enjoyed by the Wei Kingdom!" Transcription said with an unwilling face.
"The widow is not reconciled!" Xiong Nai sighed bitterly again.
A monarch and a minister sighed bitterly, and those who didn't know thought that these two were the kings of the dead country and the ministers of the dead country.
"There it is!" Transcription's eyes lit up, and when Xiong Nai saw this, his eyes lit up too, "Say, what's there!" ”
"There is a way, there is a way, the minister just thought of a plan, not only can the countries of the world not help Wei, but also let the neighbors around Wei attack Wei!" Transcript said with a strange smile on his face.
Xiong Nai seemed to understand, and couldn't help but say, "You mean, to spread the news of the silver mines of Wei to the King of Qi, the King of Yue, and the neighboring princes of Wei?" Then discuss the division of the Wei silver mines and deal a fatal blow to the Wei state? ”
Transcript nodded with a smile on her face, stroking her beard triumphantly.
"Isn't that too poisonous?" Xiong Nai frowned, feeling that this plan was too poisonous, not only to divide the silver mines of the Wei State, but also to destroy the Wei State..... It is poisonous and shameless, not a gentleman's doing!
"Pifu is not guilty of his crimes, who let Wei get this blessing, and it is uncomfortable for the king to be willing to have such a huge wealth and let Wei alone swallow it?" Transcript opened his mouth to persuade.
Xiong Nai closed his eyes and sat down gently on the royal chair, lost in thought and hesitation.
"Your Majesty, this matter must be decided as soon as possible, as soon as the Wei State is destroyed as soon as possible, we will get a large amount of silver one day earlier, and time is money!"
"To put it mildly, the development of the Wei State so far, although there is a silver mine to help, but the Wei King Wei Xuangong is also quite a talented king, and now the King of Wei relies on the silver mine to develop the Wei State, so that his name as a holy monarch is far and wide in the world, countless talented people admire it, even my Chu State is no exception, if you continue to let the Wei State go on like this, the reputation of the Wei Xuangong Wei King, I am afraid that it will overpower the king...."
Xiong Nai opened his eyes, flashing with cold light, and suddenly interrupted: "The widow agrees, this matter will be done according to yours!" ”
"No!" Transcript smiled eerily and bent deeply.
After a period of time, Xiong Nai wrote five letters, one to Qi State, one to Feng Country, one to Han State, one to Lu Country, and one to Yue Kingdom, the content of the letter was to tell the monarchs of the five countries that the monarchs of Qi, Chu, Han, Feng, Lu, and Yue gathered in Tianshui, Lu State, and discussed the plan together!
Two days in a flash, exile from the city, the palace, the library!
Wei Li sat on the king's chair to review the summons, and Si Zhong stood respectfully aside.
Within these two days, Gongsun Xin had already divided the deployment of troops, the border of the Feng Kingdom was the same, with 20,000 short Ge shield soldiers and 18,000 Xuanwei army iron cavalry, led by Xiahoude and Gu Wu, and the border line of Han and Lu countries, Mushroom City, garrisoned 20,000 short Ge shield soldiers and 30,000 crossbow soldiers, a total of 50,000 troops, by ??! 9. Afraid of persimmons
The border of the Zhiguo Changce, garrisoned 20,000 Changge soldiers and 30,000 crossbow soldiers, led by Bailihong, and the forbidden land of the Great Mountain Ridge was garrisoned by 10,000 Changge soldiers led by Wang Han!
The pensions of the nobles, ministers, and soldiers killed in the war in the previous year were all paid, with a total cost of 6.5 million taels of silver, and there are still 13.5 million stone grain, 300,000 taels of silver, and 110 million copper coins in the treasury!
For Wei at present, grain is more important than silver, although silver can also be exchanged for grain in other countries, but the treasury has sufficient grain, it is a good thing, and the people's grain is enough, the people have a bumper harvest last year, except for the imperial court, there are also seven million stones, enough for more than 1.2 million people in Wei to eat.
Now there is a gap between the rich and the poor in Wei, the twelve counties seized by Wei this year are poor counties, and many people still do not have food and clothing, the original five counties are rich counties, and every family has at least a dozen taels of silver, endless food, and endless clothes.
Although there is a gap between the rich and the poor, Wei Li believes that as long as there is a bumper harvest in the whole territory of Wei this year, the people of the twelve counties will be better, although they will not be able to catch up with the original five counties, but they will also be a grade, and now under the instructions of Prime Minister Meng Ge, all counties and counties are driving the people to cultivate fertile land, as long as it is suitable for farming, it will be fully opened, even if it is a mountain, it must open a few acres of land on the mountainside.
At present, there is no idea of returning farmland to forests, and they are all unscrupulous in order to have enough to eat, let alone open mountains, even if it is a lake, there are officials who lead the people to cut off the river, divert water from other places, and withdraw the lake into farmland.
"Pass on Zhao Hua!" Wei Li suddenly snorted softly!
"No!" Si Zhong bent down in response, and then hunched over and exited the library.
In less than half a pillar of incense, Zhao Hua walked in in a hurry, and when he walked in front of Wei Li, he bent down and called softly: "Your Majesty..."Zhao Hua was a little puzzled, and he didn't know why the king summoned him here this time.
"Expand Qianniuwei and replenish thousands of people!" Wei Li's face was expressionless, and he said softly.
He just discovered a very serious problem, the army is stationed at the border, except for Qianniuwei and Wangdu's 300 officers and soldiers, he can't transfer a single soldier and a horse, and his security is not good, so he must expand Qianniuwei to increase his sense of security.
"Expand?" Zhao Hua's face was happy, he had already planned this, but it was a pity that the king never mentioned it, and he didn't dare to mention it rashly.
"What? Don't want to? Wei Li smiled faintly.
"Willing, willing, this matter will be handed over to Weichen, and Weichen will definitely complete it!" Zhao Hua patted his chest excitedly and reassured.
PS: "Today I saw a scene that can only be seen in TV dramas, a woman kissed Xiao San in front of her boyfriend, and then Xiao San was beaten by her boyfriend and went to the hospital, don't say it, nurse, my face is a little swollen!" ”
