Disrupting the rhythm of Qin's offensive and forcing it into a vicious circle of drying up and fishing is the precious legacy left by Zhao. Not to mention Fu Ying, in this sense alone, the money lent to Zhao Ren is worth it if it is not repaid in the future.

The ministers of the Zheng Dynasty were reluctant to send troops to rescue Zhao, but they never underestimated the combat effectiveness of the Zhao army, otherwise they would not rather save Zhao than Qi. It was in this context that Zhao Jun's change of costume was supported by the ministers of the Zheng Dynasty, but this incident made Shi Yan extremely difficult.

The concept of bank savings has not been accepted by the world's businessmen, and the lack of experience, inconvenient transportation, and the difficulty of finding security have made bank outlets only limited to cities with convenient transportation, of course, a large part of the reason is that the local money family is secretly resisting. Without absolute power, the bank outlets are indeed not comparable to Egypt – the Royal Bank of Egypt, founded by Ptolemy, has a monopoly on banking throughout Egypt and Syria.

The outlets of the Four Nations Gold Bank did not absorb much gold and silver, and after deducting the proceeds from the sale of treasury bonds, the rest had to rely on the royal treasury. The royal court's finances were also not optimistic, and the first three years of trade profits were extremely rich, and in the fourth and fifth years, it could only rely on the sale of treasury bonds to support the expansion of armaments.

Although the Zhao State was destroyed, the Zhao State Treasury bonds were not abolished, and the Zhao royal court and the Four Nations Gold Bank still promised to accept the Zhao State Treasury bonds. Last year's seizure of the gold of the Shaofu of the Qin State eased the financial predicament a little, but only slightly, Zhao Jun's clothes for 30,000 gold were likely to make the finances bankrupt in advance.

Xiong Jing was looking at him when Shi Yan spoke, as the king of the Chu State, he looked at the financial statements provided by the Four Kingdoms Gold Bank every three months, and he still had some questions that were not clear: How much gold and silver did the royal court, the Great Mansion, and the Four Kingdoms Gold Bank have? How much gold and silver are in circulation? When is the Treasury on the verge of bankruptcy? When did the seizure of the red scarf in South Arabia need to be transported to the Chu State? Is there any certainty that the first tranche of treasury bonds will be accepted when it matures this year?

Xiong Jing looked at Shi Yan, who thought that he was changing clothes for Zhao Jun, so he said: "King, the minister thinks that although the Zheng Dynasty has promised the Zhao people, they can't change their equipment in one year, and this matter should be changed in three years." ”

"Three years...... Jing Xue blinked, "How can it be three years?" They are all the same, some people have been served, and some people have no ......"

"Then 100,000 people will be divided into three armies, and one army will be replaced every year." Shi Yan interrupted. "Zhao Jun learned that changing equipment is a small matter, but buying a horse is a big matter. This year, you need to buy 50,000 horses, and you need more than 40,000 gold. ”

"Fifty thousand?" Xiong Jing was extremely surprised, and he looked at Nao Cunning and Jing Xue again. "The number discussed last time was only 20,000 horses, why did it become 50,000 horses?"

"The king doesn't know anything, and so does the minister's intentions." Shi Yan said. "Today, there is a place with horses, and the nearest place is Donghu in the Yan Dynasty. The Qin army attacked the Qi people in the south, and the Yan Dynasty was safe, if the Qin people transferred their troops to attack the Yan Dynasty first, where would I buy horses? ”

"This is the minister's delay." Nao cunning also said. He knew about it, but he didn't tell Xiong Jing about it in time. "There were more than 100,000 horses in the army, and nearly 20,000 were lost in a year of fierce fighting, so the previous discussion was to buy 20,000 horses. And ......"

"Last month, the sea boat went to Brownstone Harbor, the purchase and sale prices changed greatly, and the horses were twice as iron as in the past, so the ministers thought that the Qin merchants had been sent to the land of the Yan Dynasty." Shi Yan explained why she decided to buy more horses.

"Qin people? Merchants? Xiong Jing read these two words, and the connection between Qin and Shang Jia made him feel very unnatural.

"Yes, yes." Shi Yan said. "It is true that the Zhao merchants who were trafficked by the Qin people have entered the Yan Dynasty, and they are in urgent need of great iron. This matter is only the conjecture of the minister, and there is no empirical evidence, and it can also be that Donghu is in urgent need of a huge iron. ”

When Shi Yan spoke, Xiong Jing quickly looked at me, and I shook my head again and again. There were Hou spies who knew the other in the land of the Yan Dynasty, both bright and dark, but no matter whether it was bright or dark, there was no news of collusion between the land of the Yan Dynasty and the Qin people.

The attitude of the Qin people towards the two places of the Yan Dynasty was discussed before by the Great Sima Mansion, and the basic judgment was that the two places of the Yan Dynasty would remain for a period of time. If the Qin army captured the Yan Dynasty, the Zhao people in the land of the Yan Dynasty would inevitably defect to the Hu people on the grassland. Garrisoning the Yan Dynasty became the task of the Qin army, and the Zhao people, with their familiarity with the Zhao land, could completely persuade the Hu tribe on the grassland to return to the Zhao land. If the Qin army wants to hold the Yan Dynasty, it needs at least 100,000 or even 200,000 people.

The year before last, the Chu and Zhao cavalry rushed from Yanshi to attack Xianyang, and afterwards the Qin army was in Dasuo, Henan, which made the historical 'make Meng Tian attack 300,000 people north to attack Rong Di' in advance, and the Qin army's defense line was already in Yinshan. Although there are many migrating people in the 300,000 people, the Qin army is less than 100,000, which still squeezes out the already tight forces of the Qin State, and if they capture the land of Yandi, the troops will be further tightened.

However, which is more important than the further shortage of troops or the acquisition of a large number of horses by the Chu State? Then it's up to you. Horses are the driving force of the army, and in the east of the Huainan River, where the ponds are continuous and the ditches are crisscrossed, horses are of little use; In Shangyu, Fangcheng, Jiuying, Huaibei, and Qi, horses played a great role. Without more than 40,000 horses, it would be impossible for the Chu army to save Qi.

"If that's the case......" Xiong Jing pondered, he simply no longer considered the matter of Zhao Jun's change of clothes, but asked directly: "If you buy 50,000 horses, how long will the money of the mansion be used?" What happens when the first tranche matures? ”

"King Qiqi, the golden ...... of the mansion" Shi Yan was about to confess to Xiong Jing, but he didn't expect that he only said half a sentence, and someone outside the Ming Hall suddenly shouted: "The minister has something to do with the king!" ”

"Who are you? What's the matter? "The armor under the stairs is holding back." The king is discussing ...... at this time."

"The minister Zeng Yin has something important to do, and he is in a hurry to the king!" The person who shouted reported his name and was Zeng Yin, the second son of Yin Zengfang in Xiyangyi. Hearing his name, Xiong Jing's expression suddenly changed, and he felt bad in his heart. "Summoning Zeng Yin."

"Summoning Zeng Yin." The meeting came to an end for the time being, and Xiong Jing summoned Zeng Yin with an unhappy expression.

"King Qiyu," Zeng Yin saw Nao Cunning, Shi Yu, Don't Ji and others sitting in the Ming Hall, and hurriedly shut up. Xiong Jing could only wave his sleeves to let Nao Qian and the others retreat into the room. When only he and Changjiang were left in the Ming Hall, Zeng Yin whispered: "King Qiyu, Si Yin is also." ”

"Why?!" Zeng Yin is a confidant and official, Si Yin Qukai is his top boss, and Qu Kai's death is not a trivial matter.

"Jumping off a building." Zeng Yin confessed. "Then ......"

"What do you mean?!" Is it also popular to jump off buildings in this era? Xiong Jing's face became very bad, and as soon as Zeng Yin said yes, he hurriedly asked.

"Si Yin Liushu said that he was suffering from depression, but the minister thought that there must be a secret in it." Zeng Yin said, "It's a pity that this matter is not confirmed. ”

"Check! Thorough investigation!! Xiong Jing slapped his palm on the case. Confidant Si Si Yin is dead, doesn't this mean that the director of the Security Bureau and the FBI is dead? And Qu Kai is cautious, he has been a spy for the Marquis of Qin since Si Yin, how can he die?
