Chapter 50
Ten miles outside the capital of Yan Kingdom, the flag flutters, and the soldiers are lined up. King Yan Zhao and Wang Shi Zou Yan stood on a high place, beating the pergola with their hands, and watched from afar.
Su Qin was dressed in cloth clothes and galloped over with two retinue Pegasus. He looked up, a group of people stopped on the avenue, and when he was surprised, he saw King Yan and Zou Yan on the heights. He jumped off his horse and hurried forward.
Yan Wang also stepped down, full of passion.
Su Qin approached, with tears in his eyes, and fell to the ground to bow down. "Minister Su Qin greets the king!"
"Aiqing is exempt! Hurry up, please! King Yan helped Su Qin up, his eyes were ruddy, and he carefully examined Su Qin's up and down. Love Qing hard work! This king greets all the people on behalf of the people, and welcomes Aiqing triumphantly! ”
"The affairs of the ministers are only the merit of the king's virtue! to drive all the thieves out of the country! Su Qin wept.
"The merit of slaughter, admired by all the people, is obvious to all!" Zou Yan bowed his hand. "And my king is a virtuous king, so there are virtuous subjects!"
Su Qin also greeted Zou Yan.
"The thief is new, there are many troubles, and the king and the ministers are worried about the safety of the prime minister, so they welcome it!" Zou Yan said solemnly. "It is conceivable that the prime minister's countries should be exhausted when they ask for help!"
Su Qin saluted again. "Thank you, King for your grace! Thank you for your trouble! ”
King Yan and Su Qin were in the same car, and the people who waved and cheered all the way went straight into the palace. In the main hall, the ministers had been waiting for a long time, and when they saw King Yan and Su Qin coming in one after the other, they immediately calmed down and returned to work.
After paying homage, King Yan got up and left his throne and came to the middle of the ministers. "Ladies and gentlemen, this king is incompetent and has made the ministers suffer!" He disregarded the etiquette of the monarch and the ministers, and gave it to everyone.
The ministers hurriedly returned the salute, with shame on their faces.
"Since the king ascended the throne, he was first coerced by his noble relatives and drew wages from the bottom of the kettle, causing the people to lack food and clothing, and complained. Subsequently, the prince and the general formed a party to make trouble, and the royal court was bloody, and it changed its head several times, and even the king took refuge in Liaodong. "King Yan's words are slow, but his words are sincere." Fortunately, the people loved and formed a team to resist the adversity, and the turmoil in the royal court was calmed. But the Qi people took advantage of the danger of our Yan country and sent troops to attack, and they broke through the whole territory! "He's a little excited." What face does this king have to the ancestors and the ancestors! He turned and bowed to the throne, and Su Qin and the other ministers also knelt down.
King Yan got up and faced the ministers. "Ladies and gentlemen! Hurry up, this king alone is a disaster, how many innocents are harmed! "He saw the ministers get up and walk to Su Qin." Fortunately, Su Xiang ran to the countries, accumulated the weak and joined forces, forced the strong to scatter troops, returned my Yan land, and let the ministers and the king reunite in the royal court, and asked Su Xiang to accept the gift of the king and the ministers! After speaking, King Yan faced Su Qin and bowed his hand.
The ministers also bowed their hands. "Sangzai-sama worked hard!"
Su Qin hurriedly returned the salute, with tears on his face.
Who can understand his bitterness in the past half a year, in exchange for a sentence of hard work, and his heart is also comforted. Qi attacked Yan, and he was known to be difficult to fight for a long time. The Yan army was divided into several factions due to the battle in the royal court, killing each other, how could they still resist external troubles. When the Qi army broke through the capital and the king of Yan Liaodong avoided chaos, he went south to ask for help. Zhao, Wei, Korea, Qin, Chu. "Yan Zhi today, you will be tomorrow" This set of theories is repeated many times! In the end, in exchange for the weak alliance, this made the Qi State the target of the public and scattered back the soldiers and horses.
"Now the thief is gone," Yan Wang raised his voice. "Yandi is in ruins. Ladies and gentlemen, there is a good plan! ”
"The retainers have a proposal!" The Yan army rode the general, and the prince went out of work.
"Please!" King Yan looked at him, he didn't want to listen to his words, but in the court, he wanted to save his face.
"King, the people of Qi deceive me, but in fact the soldiers are weak, although the people are brave, they must be inexperienced soldiers." The prince reasoned and analyzed. "It is a top priority, and the sons think that they should recruit troops and horses first, and the royal court should be solid."
King Yan nodded. "What the prince said is reasonable, but as soon as the war ended, the treasury was cleaned, what to recruit troops?"
"From the perspective of the sons, we should also select the rich households in all the cities, give them officials, exchange their financial resources, and then send their families to fill the army, so that they can quickly form an army!" The prince said. "Second, this year's tax will be increased for raising troops and protecting land, the cost of ministers and the repair of the city."
King Yan had no words.
"We agree with His Highness's performance!" Toji went out of the class and played.
Zou Yan came out of class and arched his hands upward. "King! The minister thought that it was not wise to raise taxes. It was spring, and the people had little left to sow seeds. At this time, it is imposed, and the harvest of the year is lost, so the minister thinks that not only should it not be increased, but also the tax should be reduced, so as to wait for the autumn harvest and support the people's livelihood! ”
"What Shangqing said is reasonable! But what can you do with the things of the royal court? The prince looked at Zou Yan. Everything needs money and things right now! ”
"I haven't figured out the specific method yet! But it is not wise to give up! After Zou Yan finished speaking, he retreated into the court.
"Ladies and gentlemen! This king is also making a mistake for this matter, and there is a lot of waste to be done, how to solve the urgent need! King Yan looked at everyone, and he really didn't know the bottom in his heart, Yan Guo's little family background had made Qi Guo toss.
Su Qin came out of class and bowed to King Yan. "The minister thinks that there is no need for the king to worry about such a trivial matter!"
When King Yan heard Su Qinyi's words, his face gradually brightened. "The prime minister said that it was a trivial matter, and it seems that there must be a good plan!"
"The king, the little things are compared with the king's big strategy." Su Qin was confident. "My king has to be the first Wang Chan to let go and then follow the unification, why not? Virtuous. My king is a law-abiding worker, regardless of his background, and he is a scholar based on his talent, so what? Virtuous. The former prince and the general formed a party, and there was no more privilege and nobility in contact, and the royal court was in turmoil, so why not? Also virtuous. ”
The ministers were a little puzzled, and they listened to Zou Mei. But Su Qin didn't care, and still made a statement. "Qi Guoxing is attacking me, why not? Also virtuous. "He saw the confusion of the people." The former is virtuous, which is given by our king, and the latter is virtuous, which is feared by others! Shi Xiande won the hearts of the people, just like quelling the chaos of the party, driving Qi Yan, my king responded to every call. The chaotic party is afraid of virtue and virtue, because it is afraid of losing its privileges, and there is no longer the power to threaten the royal court. The Gentiles are afraid of virtue, because they are afraid that our king will win the hearts of the people, become rich and strong, and he will become great in the world. ”
King Yan and the ministers nodded in admiration, and Zou Yan put his beard in his hand and was happy for him.
"Therefore, virtue makes my king have the heart of the people, and the minister thinks that he is extremely rich!" Su Qin looked at King Yan. "At the moment, the royal court does have the truth, but I can't let the king lose his virtue, for the minister to agree with the secretary of the court, not to add but subtract, the minister suggested that the tax can be exempted for two years!"
"Ahh The ministers looked surprised and whispered. "Don't eat or drink!" "What about the army?" "Do you want to destroy the country?"
King Yan also stared at Su Qin, looking forward to saying quickly, the prince opened his mouth, but he still closed it, he was most afraid of Su Qin's mouth.
"The king is exempt from endowment, and all the people can know that the king's virtue is still the same, his loyalty and service are still the same, and the king's wealth is still the same, and only the hearts of the people are kept. This can protect the land from the invasion of other states, and it can ensure that those who cause rebellion have no soldiers to use. At present, it is really inappropriate to recruit troops and buy horses, strong soldiers are the first strong generals, there are no generals, even if there are millions of soldiers, they are also peaceful. At present, Yan Shi, because of the cooperation with the public, can be harmless for two years. Generals can be urgently selected, and soldiers can be delayed. "He looked at the prince and knew that he was not convinced, but he led 30,000 soldiers and dispersed overnight." Wang Ting's ministers and other expenses, the ministers thought that two points could be solved. First, be an example for the people, thrifty and thrifty. The royal court can sell the confiscated palaces, the ministers can also change the sedan chair, the royal court can reduce the number of people to enrich the county, and the ministers can also cut officials to enrich the labor. Second, cast ironware, drum trade. The ministers traveled all over the world, knowing in detail the needs of the candidates, and the capital of Yan Wuben was for smelting and coastal fish, and then supplemented by animal husbandry, which could be paid by the royal court. ”
"But this needs someone who understands the army and business!" King Yan agreed with Su Qin's statement, but he was worried about the emerging industry.
"The minister went all the way back to Yan, and there were two people in his heart, but I was afraid that this golden platform would not come, and Wang Lixian would go!"
"Aiqing immediately decided that these two people could be, no matter how far the king went, he would definitely go and invite him in person!" King Yan set up a golden platform to recruit talents, but no one came to respond to the place. He knows that the country is weak and the army is in chaos, far away from the Central Plains, and whoever can have the ambition to work hard is willing to add icing on the cake.
"It's not a long way, it's only in Yunmeng!" Su Qin thought of Senior Brother Le Yi and Senior Brother Lu Pin.
King Yan nodded. "As soon as the prime minister said, this king understood."
And all the ministers were also beaming.
"Xiang Zai is saying that there are still ghost valley masters in Yunmeng Wonderland?" King Yan surprises. "This king heard that Pang Juan harmed his senior brother Sun Bin, and the later grandson Bin went to Qi, and on the Maling Road, he killed tens of thousands of Wei Juguo's horsemen, and also forced Pang Juan to apologize for his crimes. But Sun Bin heard that he had entered the mountains and forests, wrote a book, and never heard from him again. ”
"King! There are many false rumors in the world, but the two senior brothers Pang Juan and Sun Bin are no longer able to come to Yan. Ke Weichen knows that Mr. also has two masters in the art of war, Bai Qi and Le Yi. Bai Qi is the general of the current Qin State, defeated the Three Kingdoms Alliance, and took down the Bashu for Qin, and became famous in the world. Le Yi was deeply valued by Mr. Guigu, and when he was studying in Guigu, he knew that Le Yi was stable and successful, and he was specially taught by Mr. "The more Su Qin speaks, the smoother he becomes, and he looks forward to going to Yunmeng with King Yan to visit Mr." There is also Mr. Guigu's disciple of Shangdao, and Mr. taught him all the ten methods of business. Legend has it that Mr. once taught his disciple Ji Ran, and Ji Ran passed on Fan Li, Fan Li only used three methods to get rich and reach the country. If these two kings win, they should make Yan soon among the powerful countries! ”
"Hahaha!" King Yan was happy. "Xiang Zai Aiqing! Yan Jiu was favored by Mr. Guigu, and the kings of the ancestors had been guided by Guigu, if they had listened to Mr. Gu's words, how could the royal court cause trouble! He looked at Su Qin. How much money does this king have to bring to invite the two? "King Yan has to think about the treasury.
"The king only needs to bring one volume of the French that has been issued!"
King Yan smiled. "How can Prime Minister Aiqing gossip in the royal court, Mr. Guigu is a strange man in the mountains and wilderness, how can secular French be applied to the blessed land?"
"Your Majesty, that's not what the minister meant! Mr. teaching, with the moral scriptures at the beginning, without the pursuit of virtue, there is no true transmission. The king is French, and he has been virtuous, and Mr. must agree to the disciple to assist the king! Su Qin also smiled. In addition to virtue, Mr. only loves fairy mountains and wild fruits! ”
"Good! This king is according to Aiqing's will! "King Yan turned to his ministers." Ladies and gentlemen! At present, everything is done according to the order of the prime minister, and this king is also the first to set an example and retreat from the dynasty! ”
The ministers knelt down and watched King Yan go.
