Chapter Seventy-Two: How
The same new policy document was placed in front of Que Guanzi, and he had already seen the paper, but the political strategy on the paper was indeed the first time he had seen it. After reading the ten pages of the document hastily, Que Guanzi said: "Zijing is just sitting still waiting to die? β
The New Deal does not see the slightest shadow of a strong army, and the 50,000 or 60,000 gentlemen in culture and education do not cost much, but the last article of the cultural and educational policy mentions student nutrition. Nutrition is not a new word on the lips, which means enough corn and wheat, as well as meat, which is the most expensive. Chu Guo's annual income is no more than 70,000 gold, and there is no balance in the treasury in most years, where can I find this money?
"Teacher, the students thought that if Hezong could save the nations, then the Qin people would have been driven west of Hangu Pass a long time ago. The trend of the world cannot be saved by conspiracy. Xiong Jing sighed. The Wei State completely fell to the Qin State, and the Zhao State - after listening to the words of his brother Xiong Qi, he no longer had the slightest trust in the Zhao State. "The State of Chu has been surrounded by the State of Qin on three sides, and any big move will provoke a series of attacks from the State of Qin. Instead of spending money on military affairs, it is better to spend money on ordinary people. β
"The common people can't hold it!" The crane coughed a few times, the spring was wet and cold, and he didn't seem to have recovered from the months of exertion last year.
"The common people are not allowed to hold it because they have no power, and they do not feel that the kingdom is theirs. The actions of the people of the dynasty are precisely to give great power to the common people; The emphasis on culture and education made the common people understand that the country was their home country, not the country of the nobles.
The Qin law was punished heavily for minor offenses, and the heavy punishment was not for the purpose of educating the people, but for the purpose of enriching and enslaving slaves. In particular, the slaves, the armor and the shield, when the common people are unable to pay, they will become official slaves, there are many projects in the Qin State, and the hundreds of thousands of official slaves are relied on. I give freedom to the common people and power to the common people, and when the Qin army attacks, they will swear to fight to the death. β
"However, this can only be defended, not attacked." It's not that he doesn't understand what the students mean, but he doesn't approve of the students' strategic direction. As a Zhao person, he has always felt that the solution to the danger of the world is to cooperate with the vertical.
"Teacher, today, there is no possibility of connivance." Xiong Jing looked at the crane crown and felt sorry for his persistence.
"If King Wei ......" The key to not being able to merge this time is Wei, but if King Wei really agrees to join the vertical, can he really join the vertical? In the past, the inertia of thinking was that the Qin State must be afraid, but if you think about the reality, the defeat of the alliance five years ago has proved that the alliance is not a panacea.
"Zijing thought," Qu Guanzi muttered, "Is it feasible for the Zhao State to implement the Chu State's strategy?" β
"Do the policy of the Chu State?" Xiong Jing was puzzled. "Zhao also wants to discuss politics with the people?"
"No, no, no. Zhao Yan is not in the right position, and he is not as good as Zijing. The crane shook his head. Zhao Guo does not practice the government of the people, only emphasizes the politics of culture and education, does Zijing think that Zhao Guo is feasible? β
"The students don't understand Zhao Guo, and they don't know if it's feasible." There are two Zhao countries in Xiong Jing's heart, one is the Zhao country in the two movies in later generations, and the Zhao people are extremely strong; Then there is the Zhao State in reality, there are generous and sad people, such as Lian Po, and there are also people who 'rely on the opportunity to eat', such as Li Yuan.
In addition to seeing it in person, I heard more that the men of Zhao State 'committed rape lightly, and at the beginning they followed each other', and Hugh dug graves to make clever treachery'; women were 'drumming and drumming, setting descriptions, wearing long coats, and flattering and rich'. Regardless of whether these rumors are true or not, the Zhao people that Xiong Jing saw always felt that they were not as simple as the Chu people, and this was probably what King Qin Zhao said, 'Chu Jian is sharp and clumsy'.
"The old man wants to go to Zhao again." Que Guanzi said, "Persuade King Zhao to emphasize the politics of culture and education." If possible, please ask Zijing to sell the printing vessel to Zhao. β
Paper manufacturing is the secret of the Chu State, and the Zhao State has no paper to buy from the Chu State, and the printing vessel is different. It is impossible for Handan to get the manuscript written by Yingdu to be printed, so the crane has this invitation. The importance of the book printing vessel is obviously under the huge iron, the huge iron can be sold, and the book printing vessel can naturally be sold. It's just that Zhao Guo can really perceive the power of cultural and educational politics?
"On the day when the temple of the king of Chu was seen, Zhao ordered to carry out the three policies of 'the people of the dynasty, the emphasis on culture and education, and the worship of ghosts and gods', which is the policy of the armor and the army, and Qin and Chu will be peaceful." Handan Zhao Gong Yan Dynasty, Guo Kai took the newly arrived news to report to King Zhao, this is not a big deal, Qin Chu will judge Zhao Yan had some mental preparations when he was in the last court meeting.
"Your lord, the state of Chu really wants to rest with the common people, it is reported that most of the more than 30 Chu troops in Chengyang have been sent home to farm." Xiangbang Jianxinjun on the side also said. "Please ask the king to withdraw the army, and send Xianyang to ask Qin for guilt, so as to repair the good of Zhao and Qin again."
"When few people heard of it, the prince hated the Zhao people. Xiangbang thinks that the king of Qin will reconcile with my Zhao State? "Zhao Yan is not a faint king, even if there is a 'faint', it is only because the king's selfish interests and national policies are irreconcilable.
"The minister thinks that if he wants to do what King Qin wants, he will be able to repair it." Jianxin Jun Road.
"What does King Qin want?" Zhao Yan glanced at Guo Kai, saw that he didn't react, and stared at Jian Xinjun again.
"King Qin's great desire is to destroy the six kingdoms in one day, and this desire is not enough. However, in the past, when the King of Qin was hostage to Zhao, the person who bullied the King of Qin, the king could kill and dedicate it to the King of Qin...... "Jianxin Jundao."
"Never." Guo Kai interrupted it. "King Qin is definitely not a good person, how can he let me Zhao Guo go because of a few heads."
"King, don't you try it?" Jian Xinjun didn't look at Guo Kai, only at Zhao Yan. "The Marquis of Wenxin has left his post, if Zhao and Qin do not get along and reconcile, the Qin people will kill me. Chu State Yan armor rest the army, if you don't save me, if you don't reconcile with the Qin State, what can you do? β
"Exactly. The widow is allowed. "Zhao Yan waved his sleeves, Hezong failed because of Wei, and the alliance failed because of Chu, he is now sitting on pins and needles, and he can't take care of so much.
"Then please ask the king to dedicate Chang'an Jun to the Qin State." Jian Xinjun said again, and these Zhao Yan were stunned. The people who bullied the King of Qin back then were just some petty officials in the palace, and they were killed if they were killed, and Cheng Jiao was the younger brother of the King of Qin, who defected to Zhao two years ago and was sealed in Rao. In Jian Xinjun's opinion, if he was also sacrificed, King Qin's resentment towards Zhao State would be a little less.
"If the king offers Chang'an Jun to Qin, how can he win the trust of the world again? When the Qin army besieged Handan again, who did he ask for help? Guo Kai sighed. If the king offers Chang'an Jun to Qin, the scholars of all countries will go to nothing. β
"Chang'anjun can't be offered." After listening to what Guo Kai said, Zhao Yan understood the stakes and waved his hand helplessly, "This move will make Zhao Guo lose his trust in the world, and Qin Guo often repeats, it must not be, absolutely not." β
"That is, if you don't offer Chang'anjun, you should offer a letter of communication between Wen Xinhou and me." Jianxinjun said again. "The king of Qin wants to get rid of the Marquis of Wenxin and then hurry up, but the Marquis of Wenxin's disciples are all over the court and the opposition of the Qin State, and with only one or two small officials making false accusations, the king of Qin can only temporarily remove him from his post and fail to convict him."
"King, the guests of the Marquis of Wenxin are all over the court and the opposition of the Qin State, if my Zhao State helps the King of Qin to kill the Marquis of Wenxin, his disciples will hate my Zhao people." Guo Kai retorted. "Although the matter of Wen Xinhou has something to do with my Zhao State, my Zhao State must not be involved."
Both strategies were rejected by Guo Kai, and Jian Xinjun no longer wanted to argue with him, so he directly said the third strategy: "The minister heard that the king of Qin wanted to obtain the iron art of the Chu state, but he hated it but did not get it. β
Jianxinjun is an old minister left by the previous king, and after Zhao Yan ascended the throne, he still used it as a state to stabilize the government. But his prime minister was originally obtained by 'serving the king of Israel', and he was criticized when he was the first king, and the strategy he offers today is simply to give people a handle. Guo Kai didn't want to refute anymore, he said to Zhao Yan: "King, my Zhao State can withdraw the Zhao army of Yuanjin and send an envoy to apologize to the Qin State." Those who bullied the King of Qin back then may be dedicated to the King of Qin to relieve his hatred. The rest of the options are not feasible. If the treasury is insufficient, the minister is willing to pay tribute to the bribe of Shenjun last spring. β
"How much money can Chun Shenjun bribe be?" When it came to the gold of the iron, Zhao Yan's upright body fell. The unfortunate King of Chu wanted to go crazy for money, and he asked for 30,000 gold when he opened his mouth, and then he asked for two gold patents for every huge soldier he made, how could Zhao Guo have so much money for him? Under the years of war, some Zhao Min have already sold their children and daughters, and their wives and sisters are prostitutes.
"Your Majesty, Chun Shenjun offers 10,000 gold to his ministers." Guo Kai looked at Zhao Yan and hesitated, but he still said.
"Ten thousand gold?" Zhao Yan's eyes widened, "There are actually 10,000 gold!" You ......"
"The king, the ministers don't know that Chun Shenjun has given 10,000 yuan, and the family is uneasy every day after the report, please forgive the king." Guo Kai worshipped, Shenjun sent an envoy to Guo's mansion last spring, and he sued Zhao Yan about the bribe, but he did not say how much. Now that he has given this 10,000 gold, although Zhao Yan is angry, he is not indiscriminate, and there will always be a day when he will be angry.
"King, in this way, I, the Zhao State, can purchase the Chu State's Iron Technique." Jianxin Jun was overjoyed, "If you can dedicate it to the King of Qin, the King of Qin will be very happy." β
Zhao Guo couldn't take out 30,000 gold for a while, but 20,000 gold could always be taken out. Besides, the state of Chu needs the horses of the state of Zhao, and the war horses worth one or two gold in the state of Chu are only one or two thousand dollars in the land of the state of Zhao. As long as Qi Guo is willing to let him go, it is not impossible to pay all the remaining 20,000 gold in horses.
"Great King, the art of iron must not be dedicated to the Qin State. Dedicated to the Qin State, he will attack Zhao when the Qin army attacks Zhao, and my Zhao people will suffer from it. Guo Kai paused again and persuaded again.
"What if you don't reconcile with the Qin State?" Zhao Yan also sighed, "You say, you say, how should I Zhao Guo?" β
"I'm Zhao Guo......" Guo Kai didn't know what to do.
At the time of Changping, Zhao Qin may be able to fight, but the Qin State is not the Qin State more than 30 years ago, and the Zhao State is not the Zhao State more than 30 years ago. In the end, the effective method was to bribe LΓΌ Buwei through Zhao Ji, so that the spearhead of Qin's attack was directed at Han Wei. It's just that this kind of buying is not foolproof, and the loss of the thirty-seven cities of Jinyang is because LΓΌ Buwei can't control the court situation, and the Qin army took advantage of the Zhao army to attack Yan and pull it out when the rear was empty. Now that LΓΌ Buwei has fallen, what can Zhao Guo do?
"Since Guo Qing has no choice, he can only do this." Zhao Yan looked at Jian Xinjun: "Withdraw the troops." You quickly send an envoy into Qin, except for Chang'anjun, the rest are according to your policy. However," Zhao Yan's gaze at Jian Xinjun gradually turned cold, "What if the Qin State goes back on its word?" β
"If the Qin State goes back on its word, please punish the sin of the ministers." Jianxinjun bowed his head, and his voice was not only not frightened, but joyful.
