On the north side of the gap in the north of the northern city of Daliang, there is a high platform for the oath, and on the auspicious day, the kings of the four kingdoms ascended the steps in turn, and then the eldest sons of the Qian family, Bai Yi, Xiandui, and Wu Yanci, took the stage. In order to appear grand, the artillery soldiers on the north and south sides of the chasm fired a salute together, and in the rumbling cannons, the long alliance was read by the league.

The alliance of the four countries is to hand over the four countries with the right to mint coins to the Ziqian family as collateral in order to obtain the Ziqian family's capital contribution to underwrite the treasury bonds. The relationship between the two sides seems to be an ordinary loan relationship, but in fact, the Shikoku Financial Bank will not be able to recover it without using force in the future. The war with the Qin State will cost a huge amount of gold and silver, and after the fall of the Qin State, the war between the countries will cost a huge amount of gold and silver, and the coinage right is estimated to be mortgaged until the end of the world.

Xiong Jing was happy to see this situation, and the coinage rights of various countries were mortgaged, but the royal court was free. The royal court was not only free, but also shared this privilege with the twelve great merchants and the Ziqian family through the profits of the spice trade, and the royal court also became a great prince of the Qian family. The royal court lent money to the countries, and then obtained the coinage rights they pledged, and then controlled the finances of the countries - in order to ensure the payment of the annual money, the gold bank always had to monitor the financial receipts and expenditures of the countries, right?

Which country dares to wantonly raise taxes and repay debts, in order to get rid of the control of the gold bank, and the common people under its rule must resist; If a country fails to collect taxes, the Bank will set up a tax police corps in its country, and the Bank will be responsible for collecting taxes. Money is the cornerstone of the country, and if countries want to fight a war in the future, especially if they want to fight a big war, they must first ask Jin Xingtong if they agree, and they can only fight if they agree, and they can't fight if they don't agree.

Capital controls everything, this is perhaps the most disgusting model in later generations, and Xiong Jing is also disgusted. He always remembered that the dollar mintage was under the control of the capitalists, and in a hundred years, a hundred dollars depreciated by ninety dollars, and the greed was outrageous! If the coinage rights are in the hands of the national government, in a hundred years, the value of a hundred pieces will be depreciated by a maximum of ten dollars, and it will never exceed twenty dollars.

The reading of the book of the alliance, the blood, the book of sacrifices, the sacrifices, and finally another feast. The Qian family sat on one side, the monarchs and ministers of the four kingdoms sat on the other side, and Bai Yi, Xian Dui and the others smiled from ear to ear. Since the defeat of King Wu, this is the first time that the merchants and the king sit together on an equal footing - the merchants are the people of the Yin merchants, in order to belittle the people of the Yin merchants, the farmers and the merchants, the Zhou people will list the merchants as the last class. And this time, they are finally no longer the last class.

Wei Zeng, the king of Wei, is surnamed Ji, and it is not a good thing for Ziqian's family to sit big, so he is not very happy; Zhao Wangqian is not more important, he doesn't know what this alliance represents, he doesn't know, and Guo Kai, Zhao Sheng and others who know are helpless. The state of Zhao was basically dead, and the court of Zhao in the northern city of Daliang was only a government in exile. Since they are all in exile, they naturally have to try their best to make friends with big countries and big businessmen to prepare for the restoration of the country in the future.

Tian Jian, the king of Qi, was unaware of this, and his main task in coming to Daliang was to persuade the Three Kingdoms to save Qi. The country of Qi was only affected by the war last year, and it was still rich, and in order to redeem the national debt, a lot of gold and silver hidden deep in the ground were dug up. Tian Doujin, Cheng Li, Diao Zhen, Wu Yanci and others sat on opposite seats, and the thirteen seats accounted for four of them. During the banquet, Tian Jian and Tian Jiao kept looking at them and asked them to speak for the Qi Kingdom, but at this time, Xiong Jing asked about the outside of the Saiwai.

Xiong Jing had been to Saiwai, but he didn't know much about the Huns, and when he heard Duan Quan say that it was Li Mu who broke the Hu people and made the Hu people push Xia Wei for Shan Yu, he lost his color and said: "Is this really the case? Li Mu is not a big break of the Huns, but a big break of the Hu people? ”

"The people who were broken by Wu'an Hou, there are Xiongnu, there are also Hu people, the Xiongnu are the largest, so they are called Xiongnu. After this battle, the Hu people learned from the pain, and after the public pushed Xia Wei for the various departments, so that there was a plough to support the lonely one. Duan Quan said. The Qin State drove Rong Di in Henan, and tens of thousands of people came to vote, and the Xiongnu were even more victorious. If the Qin State attacks Daijun and Yandi again, and the Xiongnu are strong, it will become a disaster for the world......"

The kings of China were seldom concerned about the affairs of the grasslands outside the Saiwai. Because Zhao wanted to keep the trade route to the west, he opened up to the west, and he was the country that cared most about the Saiwaihu people among all the countries. In addition to Shangdao, the model division of Hufu cavalry archery, that is, the officer corps, was not located in Handan, which was the national capital, but in Yuanyang (now east of Hohhot) on the border.

This means that the north brings not only trade, but also new military technology. After the Yin cavalry tactics became extinct in the land of China, new cavalry tactics came from the grasslands. Hufu riding and shooting is not just as simple as changing clothes - narrow-sleeved military clothing is also available in the Central Plains and Chu State, and many narrow-sleeved short clothes have been unearthed in later generations; There is only a difference in shape between leather boots and leather boots, but there is no difference in essence; Belts, in order to hang jade pendants, have been belts since ancient times, not cloth ribbons......

When the etiquette collapsed to the Warring States period, the clothing regulations were not as strict as in the Spring and Autumn Period of the Western Zhou Dynasty. It was only a change in the clothing of the generals and soldiers, and it was impossible for the 'old-fashioned' Gongzi Cheng and others to oppose it (it was Gongzi Cheng who later led the army to besiege the sand dunes and starved to death King Wuling of Zhao). It was the changes in military technology, especially military organization, that would affect the balance of power in the Zhao state. A very simple question: what should the trained new army do if they rebel in the future?

Hufu cavalry shooting is in the past tense, the Xiongnu exist and have been growing, this is what Xiong Jing is faintly worried about. After Duan Quan finished speaking, Xiong Jing was silent for a while, and at this time, Tian Jian, the king of Qi, asked the Three Kingdoms to save Qi again, and he said without thinking about it: "If you don't have military power, how can the Three Kingdoms save Qi?" ”

Handing over the command of the Qi army, which was requested a few months ago, was compromised by Zhao Wei that time, and the king of Wei proposed to hand over the military power a few days ago. Whether it is Tian Jian or Tian Jia, he is speechless when he encounters this problem. The State of Qi did not want the coalition to defeat and annihilate Wang Qian, if Wang Jian perished, the State of Qin would also perish, and if the State of Qin perished, the State of Qi would also perish.

The world seems to have become a three-legged game. The Qi State became the weakest one, and Qin Chu's strength was comparable. The Qin State is a dead country when it attacks Qi, and it is also a dead country to hand over military power. Qi Guo is very aware of this and guards this point.

Tian Jian and Tian Fake had nothing to say, so Xiong Jing asked Duan Quan again. "Is Xiongnu Shan Yu called Mao Dun?"

"Maudun?" Duan Quan was puzzled, and he said, "People close to him call Shan Yu as Touman. The head man is the chief of ten thousand riders. At the beginning, the Xiongnu had only one man, and now the Huns have three mans. If you call the soldiers of each department again, you can get a few heads. ”

Duan Quan didn't say that Xiong Han couldn't remember it, but as soon as he said it, he remembered that Mao Dun was not the first Shan Yu, but the second, and this guy came to power after killing his father. Xiong Jing thought about Mao Dun, and Wei Zeng, the king of Wei on one side, was surprised, "Wouldn't the Huns have fifty or sixty thousand horsemen?" ”

"Yes, yes." This time, it was not Duan Quan who spoke, but Pingyuan Jun Zhao Ying who spoke. "Before the destruction of the Yan Kingdom, the crown prince Dan Taifu Juwu once entered Handan to admonish, asking me not to destroy the Yan Kingdom. Qi and Chu are all crowned countries, the Xiongnu are Rong Di, Rong Di has no faith, how can I make peace? ”

"Is that so?" Xiong Jing looked at Nao Xin, he didn't know that Yan Guo had such a lobby before its demise.

"Yes, yes." Zhao Wangqian finally interjected. "The Yan people deceived the king, the widow was young, and the widow was also widowed."

"The Huns are greedy for money and unjust, and they are indeed untrustworthy." Duan Quan also said.

"If there is no faith, how can you buy and sell?" Xiong Jing said something unconsciously, and Duan Quan felt like someone had pinched his throat when he heard it. Fortunately, Xiong Jing asked again: "The horses needed by the widows are all purchased from the Xiongnu?" ”

"Yes, yes. The various parts of the steppe are no longer scattered, they are all under the orders of Shan Yu, and so are the horses. The king's horses were all purchased from the Huns. Duan Quan looked at Xiong Jing twice and replied.

"When will the horses be allowed to enter the jam?" The purchase of 50,000 horses was the decision of the Great Sima Mansion, and unlike the Qin army, the Chu State relied more on the boat.

"It's going to be plugged this month." Duan Quan Road. In front of Xiong Jing, he had to tell the truth. "Although the price of horses has risen, they have kept their word, and 50,000 horses and 45,000 gold are enough. Shan Yu sent hundreds of good horses to the king, begging for the great iron blade of the Chu State. ”

"The king of Chu must not be greedy for the good horses of the Hu people, if he gives the Huns a huge iron blade, the world will be in danger." Pingyuan Jun Zhao Ying was worried that Xiong Jing would agree. The state of Chu did not border with the Xiongnu, and the two were theoretically a natural alliance, which the state of Zhao did not want to see.

"The Huns also smelt iron, but there is no huge iron, and the king can give him a hundred huge swords." Duan Quan Road.
