For Wei Jian, of course, it can't be the same as for Han Fei. As Xiong Jing spoke, he invited him to sit down and drank tea. Wei Jian was worried but disrespectful, and only after taking a sip of tea did he say: "The widow knows that the Qin people sent hundreds of thousands of soldiers to fight Zhao, and they are afraid. The court doctor said that the war was very melancholy, and there was a saying that if Chu was not saved, Zhao would die; There is a saying that Qin cannot die Zhao; There are also those who say that Zhao Deyan will die in Zhao for more than ten years, and so on. However, the minister knew that the court doctor was not familiar with Qin, so he wanted to move to Chu ......"

"Oh?" Xiong Jing smiled. "Chu has the law of nationality, how did Dr. Wei move to Chu?"

"The king captured 100,000 Wei soldiers, and less than 40,000 returned, and the rest were all in Chu State. There are many people in the family of Wei, and the doctor can move to Chu in the name of the family of the soldier. Wei Jianwei had to explain. In fact, not in the name of the family members, the Wei people are also constantly migrating to the Chu State. The common people didn't know the general trend of the world, but they were profit-seeking, and when they heard that some counties in Chu were in the country, they immediately ran over.

"Is that so?" Xiong Jing understood. 38,000 soldiers for 60,000 family members, this is the idea that Da Sima Fu came up with.

"Yes." Wei Jian did not mention the matter of the people in Chu County, and then said: "The world will fall, the widow does not want to be close to Qin but wants to be close to Chu, but only afraid of the Qin people on the side, this heart can only be hidden, I hope the king knows." ”

"Wei Guojia geometry? What is the geometry of the warehouse? Horse geometry? What is the annual yield of corn? Xiong Jing asked.

Xiong Jing asked all the key figures, which were related to the survival of the Wei State, and Wei Jian did not hesitate at all, and said: "The Wei State has less than 200,000 warriors, only 6,000 soldiers, and the rest are all five-foot, old and weak soldiers. In the years before and the war, the warehouses were empty, and so far there were less than 10 million stones; There were fewer horses, less than 30,000 in the whole country. Wei people grow corn and wheat well, and produce more than 70 million stones of grain a year. ”

"More than 70 million stones?" The population of Wei is only about two million, how can it produce 70 million stone grain? The population of Chu is one million more than that of Wei, and the output is only about 65 million stones, and some years are less than that.

"The king doesn't know that Wei has more fields and middle fields, and grows wheat, and one household can collect 200 stone of grain." Wei Jian said worriedly. "Now the corn of the Wei State is exported to the counties of the Chu State, and the Wei grain is the Chu grain."

"How much does South Korea produce grain?" Xiong Jing was taken aback by Wei's grain production, and he couldn't help but ask about South Korea.

"That's enough. However, the Koreans grow less wheat and produce 24 million stone of millet a year. The Korean millet is now also lost to the counties of Chu State, especially the Cheng clan and the Dou clan. Wei Jian said again.

"Wei eats no more than 40 million stone of corn a year, and the remaining 30 million stone ......" South Korea's surplus of corn a year is only 4 or 5 million stone, Xiong Jing is worried about the surplus of 30 million stone of grain in Wei, but it takes 9 or 10 gold to buy these grains, and Xiong Jing alone cannot afford to sell it, and even if he unites all the clans and honored people, he may not be able to buy it.

"King Yu, Wei often loses to Qi, and Zhao has more losses than Zhao in military affairs. Chu is self-sufficient in millet rice, and has lost less than Chu before. Wei Jian said worriedly, he was a little strange why Xiong Jing didn't know the abundance of corn in Wei. Beginning in the winter of the previous year, large ships of corn were transported to the Chu State, forcing the Qi people to come to the Wei State to grab grain.

"Qi Guo?" Xiong Jing somewhat understood. It turned out that during the war a few years ago, the Chu army actually ate Wei corn.

"Yes, yes." Wei Jian worried: "The land of Qi is narrow and near the sea, there are many fields, and the people like to plant mulberry hemp, fortunately there are benefits of fishing salt, and they make crowns and clothes and shoes, and the business is all over the world." The benefits of business are dozens of times that of agriculture, so Qi people are rich and rich. ”

"How much do Qi people buy corn in a year?" Xiong Jing asked again. He is becoming more and more interested in the topic.

"Twenty million stones." Wei Jian knows everything, and he has no end to it. "Qi people are wise, and they often hesitate to buy wheat and millet when they harvest it, so as to suppress their prices. Or borrow the corn from the warehouse to sell it at a low price before harvesting the millet by Zheng Shang. ”

"Wei let the Qi people lower the price of millet, and let the Qi people buy 20 million stones to return home?" Xiong Jing nodded to show that he understood, and the routines of grain merchants in ancient and modern China and abroad are like this.

"The Wei State has no benefits from mountains, seas, and ponds, and the first income is to close the market, and the second is to sell corn. People are extravagant, and so are the Wei people. If Wei doesn't sell corn, how can the nobles come to treasure the precious jade, and how can the beauties advocate excellence? Wei Jian sighed again after speaking. The Three Jin Dynasty and the Qi Kingdom are all extravagant, and even if half of the money spent by the nobles is used for military affairs and relief for the poor, it will not come to this point today.

"Can you know the geometry of Zhao Guo's corn?" Xiong Jing asked about Zhao Guo.

"The acres of land of Zhao are much more than those of Wei, and wheat is also grown, and its cultivation is not as good as that of Wei Min, and there are many fields with thin harvests. However, Zhao Guoding's mouth is twice as large as Wei, and he can also accumulate 30 million stones of corn in a year and a year's grain in three years. Wei Jian said worriedly.

"Now that you occupy the swallow land, how much corn can be accumulated in a year?" Xiong Jing asked.

"Yan Guochen doesn't know." Qi State corn relied on Wei State to import, and Wei Jian's aunt married in Zhao State, so he was familiar with these two countries, and Yan State was too far away.

"The state of Qi has 4.6 million Dingkou, and it buys 20 million stones of millet a year, and its country ......" Xiong Jing is thinking about the corn and wheat production of the Qi country.

According to traditional experience, it can be judged that each person needs to eat one and a half stones of millet per month, which is eighteen stones a year. Qi purchased 20 million stone corn wheat from Wei, which is equivalent to 1.1 million people in the country being raised by Wei. For the remaining 3.5 million people, if the average corn production can reach the level of 150 koku per household, it will be about 420,000 households to grow grain. 420,000 households, or 2.1 million people, minus 2.1 million people, perhaps the remaining 2.5 million people are all engaged in business and work.

Xiong Jing was just a simple calculation, but it was still scary to get such a number, and at the same time, the importance of Qi Guo in his heart plummeted. The Qi State was subordinated to the Qin State, and the lack of courage was one reason, and the other decisive role should be that there was not much domestic accumulation.

If the Qi State wants to eat more than 80 million stone corn wheat in a year, it will be more than 240 million stone in three years. It takes almost ten years to accumulate that much corn. Qi was unable to be self-sufficient in corn, so he hastily cut down the mulberry trees in the field and planted corn instead, and he could not accumulate much grain in a year.

Thinking of this, Xiong Jing couldn't help but be a little happy. Like the State of Qi, the counties of Chu were relatively independent, but the State of Chu did not attach importance to commerce, so the counties still accumulated a lot of millet. These accumulated millets were mixed with new millet, which lasted for about a year and a half during the war, and all the corn in the last year was purchased from the Qi country.

If the state of Chu is also like the current state of Qi, it has to purchase 20 million stone corn wheat every year to be self-sufficient in grain, and the counties of the state of Chu have discounted the life of the king of Jisu in Yingdu, and the corn that should have been supported for three years has only been supported for a year and a half, how much will the doctors of the Qi State discount the life of the king of Jisu in Linzi? How long can corn that should have lasted three years last?

Xiong Jing's words were broken halfway, and Wei Jianwu didn't know what else he had to say, so he could only stretch his neck and wait. After a while, I heard him take a breath and say, "If Wei can sell 30 million stone corn wheat to Chu State......"

Xiong Jing was stunned again. Even if 30 million stone corn wheat costs more than 90,000 gold for 30 yuan a stone. More than 90,000 gold a year, more than 900,000 gold in ten years, how can Chu have so much money?

"No, I just hope that the corn and wheat of Wei will be sold in Chu." Xiong Jing changed his words. "At least wheat should be sold to the state of Chu."

"Mai?" Wei Jian didn't understand why Xiong Jing wanted to buy wheat. "O king, the price of wheat is lower than the price of millet, but wheat is difficult to eat, so the poor eat more. And 30 million stone corn, wheat is only more than 3 million stone. ”

"Then the three million stones will be sold." Xiong Jing smiled. In the era when stone grinding was not popular, wheat, like taro and soybean, was mostly the ration of the poor. The reason why farmers can plant is because the land is cultivated in rotation, and the fields that have been harvested are planted casually, and they are also empty.

"Yui." Wei Jianwei agreed without hesitation, and he also made a request: "However, the widow wants to buy Jujia......"

"Huge armor?" Xiong Jing shook his head. Wei's position is unclear and is not included in the sales license of Jujia. "Is it possible to build a city?"

"Building a city?" Wei Jian was stunned for a moment, and then became a little excited, "But the city of concrete with huge reinforcements? ”

"Yes." Xiong Jing Road. "Isn't King Wei worried about the loss of the girder? I was worried that the Qin people would soak the city, so it would be better to transform it into a city of giant tendons and concrete. It is like the north city of the girder, built with huge reinforced concrete, not afraid of immersion in the city, and can be repaired if you want to. ”

The girder controls the water in Huaishang, and there is a pond in the northwest, which is not far from the Yellow River, but the disadvantages of the girder are also obvious. The Qin people once threatened: 'Break Rongkou, Wei has no Great Liang', 'Land attack will attack Hanoi, water attack will destroy Great Liang', this Wei people deeply thought of this, so they built the Great Wall in the northwest. But only with the Great Wall in their own hands, the enemy could not soak the city and irrigate the city, if the Great Wall was broken by the enemy, the water of the garden field would still be led to the foot of the city to soak the city.

It's different when you build a concrete city. Last year, when the north city of Daliang was built, some concrete columns near the chasm were built in the water, and they were not afraid of water at all, which attracted the amazement of the Daliang people for a while. Although some of the ministers suggested that the king of Wei should also rebuild the southern city like the northern city, the reply was that the cement production was insufficient.

"Good." Wei Jian was full of joy and sorrow, "The minister will sue the widow today, please disdain the country and ......"

"Let's find someone to fix it." Xiong Jing mentioned Da Chu's contractor, and he seemed to be building the bridge somewhere now. "Consult with him as high as you want, as thick as you want, and as wide as you want to build.

The matter of the great armor will be delayed for several years. Xiong Jing said again: "A few years later, more than ten years later, if the Qin State wants to destroy the Wei State, the Wei army will have a huge armor." ”

"King Xie." Wei Jian was worried again. "Wei Naichu Chu's screen, if he wants to kill Wei in the future, he dares to ask the king to send troops to rescue him."

"The State of Wei is indeed the screen of the State of Chu, but the King of Wei ......" Xiong Jing shook his head when he said that the King of Wei did not believe much except for the Yue people in the south.

"The king should know that the Wei people hate the Qin State, but the Wei State is weak, and the Qin State is forced to force each other, and it is also helpless." It is rare for Wei Jian to say a good word for King Wei. "Now that the Qin people are attacking Zhao, the signs of the day are all revealed, how can the Wei people sit and wait for death?"

"Then let's talk about it first." The conversation was almost over, and Xiong Jing motioned for Chang Jiang to send off the guests.

"There is one more thing about the minister, the minister," Wei Jian endured and told each other, "The minister heard that the king had favored the Gongsun clan when he was in the Sang Tunnel......"
