Chapter 188: It's time to change food! 23/36

Ji Xin interrupted abruptly; "Okay, that's it, Mo Aiqing, your Mo family is loyal to the widow, and the widow is very pleased, whether you can bring back 60,000 captives this time depends on Mo Aiqing!"

"I ....." Mo Hai was furious in his heart, but he had to force out a smile and said: "The minister is willing to sacrifice for the state of Wu, and the minister will immediately send an envoy to the state of Wei to meet the king of Wei!" ”

After a period of time, Mo Hai left the palace, casually packed up something, and went on the road, for this envoy to Wei, Mo Hai was terrified, but it was not enough to die, after all, he represented Wu State, King Wei did not dare to kill himself, but he was beaten and humiliated, which was inevitable.

Time passed slowly, when the battle of Changce, after the news of Wei's victory spread all over the world, Wei's prestige rose again, everyone called Wei the country of tigers and wolves, and the division of tigers and wolves of the Wei army, and resolutely became a force that could not be ignored by the countries south of the Yangtze River.

In the fifteenth year of Zhengyun, on the fifteenth day of the first month, after more than 40 days of hurrying, Wei Li finally brought 60,000 captives back to the royal capital, conducted a short court discussion, and divided the forty-nine cities that had just been collected into eight counties, set up Shengzhou, and Taishou was Ganlong, and the original state consulted the doctor.

Library Library!

In the library pavilion, Wei Li was wearing civilian clothes, wearing a hairpin crown, sitting on the king's chair, holding a bamboo slip to read, standing next to Si Zhong, and Meng Ge and He Qiu standing in front of him.

"He Aiqing, Lone will give you 10,000 captives to use in the silver and copper mines of Dashanling to increase the production of silver and copper!" Wei Ya was expressionless, and said indifferently.

"No!" He Qiu bent down with a solemn expression and responded.

"Meng Aiqing, Lone will give you 50,000 captives for farmland reclamation!" Wei Li said again.

"No!" Meng Ge bent down and responded.

"If you have anything to say, if you have nothing to do, you can go first!" Wei Li glanced at the two of them.

When He Qiu heard this, he immediately made a report: "Your Majesty, on the first day of Zhengyun, all the pensions of hundreds of officials and nobles and soldiers were distributed, and a total of eight million taels of silver and 100 million copper coins were consumed, and now the treasury has 28 million stone grain, 5 million taels of silver, and 40 million copper coins!" ”

"Got it, that's good!" Wei Li nodded with satisfaction.

"And the commercial tax collected this year has reached 150,000 taels of silver, which is five times that of last year!" He Qiu reported again.

"Five-fold? That's going well! Wei Lai smiled with relief, commerce and trade in Wei have just risen, and I believe that with time, Wei will become more and more prosperous.

"Wechen is fine, Wechen is retired!" He Qiu retired, Wei Li nodded, and He Qiu turned around and left the library.

After He Qiu left, Wei Li put down the bamboo slips, looked at Meng Ge and said: "Since the first battle of Changce, our army has lost 60,000 soldiers, and the entire Wei State is therefore only 90,000 troops, which is far less than what Wei needs, and now that Great Wei has food and money, it is time to recruit soldiers!" ”

When Meng Ge heard this, he immediately asked, "Does the king want to conquer at home or from abroad?" ”

"Foreign expeditions, the more the better, the country will not move for the time being, this time, we must carry out a large-scale expansion of the army, which is dominated by cavalry and crossbowmen!" Wei Li said softly.

In the first battle of Changce, the Wei army captured 60,000 war horses, and these more than 60,000 war horses plus 18,000 of their own own, adding up to 80,000 war horses, 80,000 war horses are 80,000 cavalry, and as for the chariots, they are ready to give up.

Because under the bow and crossbow, the chariot is too fragile, although the charge is awesome, but the problem is that it can't rush, in this case, why spend a lot of material resources to build the chariot.

Later, the Wei army was mainly crossbowmen and cavalry.

"No!" Meng Ge wrote a compilation.

After some time, Meng Ge also left the palace and began to recruit soldiers.

And not long after Meng Ge left, Xiao Liuzi respectfully walked in from outside the hall, bent down to Wei Ya and said: "Your Majesty, the Prime Minister of the Feng Kingdom Jiujin, the Prime Minister of the Lu Country Lu Pi, and the Prime Minister of the Lu State Zhang He ask to see you!" ”

Wei Li raised his eyebrows, and his face showed surprise, the prime ministers of the three kingdoms gathered in Wei? What is this for, could it be that Yue, Qi, and Chu still don't give up?

"Xuan!" Wei Li snorted lightly, wanting to see what the prime ministers of the Three Kingdoms were doing here.

As soon as the words fell, Jiu Jin, Lu Pi, and Zhang He hurriedly walked in, bowed deeply to Wei Li in awe, and shouted: "Foreign minister Zhang He (Jiujin, Lu Pi) greets King Wei!" ”

Wei Li stretched out his hand and smiled faintly: "You don't need to be polite, come here, give me a seat!" ”

"No!" Si Zhong responded to the question, and passed a look to Xiao Liuzi, Xiao Liuzi was proud, and immediately asked people to take out three benches, for the bench, the three of them were relatively unfamiliar, and secretly surprised.

"What are you doing here?" Wei Ya asked with a smile.

When the three of them heard this, Jiu Jin took the lead and said: "This time, the foreign ministers have three things, one is to return the one million stone grain used by the Wei State, the second is to congratulate the Wei State Changce on his victory in the first battle, and the third is to come to the Wei State in exchange for food!" ”

As soon as Jiu Jin's words came out, Lu Pi and Zhang He couldn't help blinking, this ..... It's the same as your own purpose.

"I see, one and two, Lone understands, but what about three, what do you exchange for food?" Wei Ya looked at Jiu Jin with deep eyes and asked.

"This time, the foreign minister is carrying 700,000 taels of silver!" Jiujin replied quickly.

Wei Li nodded, indicating that he understood.

"And you two?" Wei Li looked at Zhang He and Lu Pi again.

"The foreign minister and the wind have the same purpose, and they are also three purposes, this time the foreign minister carries 100,000 taels of silver and 10,000 taels of gold in exchange for food!" Lu Pi bent down in awe and replied.

"Uh.... Shu Wei Wang Lu Guo was temporarily unable to return the grain, this time the foreign minister brought 100,000 stone of grain to return, and the remaining 900,000 stone to be returned in the future, and the foreign minister brought 200,000 taels of silver, 20,000 taels of gold, and a number of jewels in exchange for food! Zhang He said with some embarrassment.

There is no way, the territory of the Wind Country and the Lu Country has not suffered much loss, and the grain tax of more than 2 million stones a year is still repaid, and the 1 million stone returned to the Wei State is still paid, but the Lu State is different, the northwest border of the Lu State is completely lost, and there are only 21 cities left in the country, and it is impossible to repay the Wei State of 1 million stone of grain.

So this time he only returned 100,000 stones, and took out all the gold, silver, and jewels from the treasury in exchange for food.

"It's okay, just a million stone of grain, I haven't put it in my eyes yet!" Wei Li said with a lot of money.

When the prime minister of the Three Kingdoms heard this, he was embarrassed for a while, Wei is really rich, millions of stones are not in his eyes, but he really does not put it in his eyes, Wei is now like the country of destiny, it is a bumper harvest at every turn, a terrifying bumper harvest, and they all doubt whether Wei is God's own son.

"Thank you for your congratulations, you have to exchange food and go to the lonely Zhisu Neishi!" Wei Li got up and said.

"Thank you, King Wei!" Jiujin and others made a return gift, and immediately hid the library.
