Section 431 Qin Chu's family affection
King Han cares about the investment in building roads and canals, and it is obvious that he has not changed his identity yet.
Bai Hui said: "You couldn't bear it before, but now the Qin State can bear it, and in addition to repairing all this, you must also repair no less than five thousand granaries." Among them, there shall be no less than 500 super-large granaries. ”
Bai Hui's super-large granaries are 10,000 tun each, and they are basically caves dug in suitable places.
From the day Bai Hui crossed over, he was convinced of one thing, digging deep holes and accumulating grain.
Suddenly, King Qin looked at Bai Hui: "Bai Hui, you honestly tell Brother Wei that you have a few warehouses in Yiyang and Yichuan. "King Qin asked this because he knew that Bai Hui had a granary, and this granary was a military ration for the Yiyang army.
And this grain is not in the account books of the Qin State, it belongs to the special war preparation grain.
King Qin asked, and Bai Hui didn't intend to hide it: "It is equivalent to the stock of one hundred and seventy super-large warehouses." ”
One hundred and seventy super-large warehouses, according to the calculations of later generations, are almost 800,000 tons of grain, and for later generations, this data is at the level of war-ready grain, which is considered a root hair.
But in the Warring States, this is an astronomical amount of grain storage.
King Wei's eyes widened in shock, when he had the most warehouses in Wei over the years, they were far less than half of Bai Hui's grain stocks.
King Qin was shocked in his heart, but he just nodded calmly, and said very easily: "It's similar to what Brother Wei thought, if you continue to save, how can you save enough for five hundred super large warehouses." ”
At present, the total amount of grain stored in the warehouses of Xianyang and Liyang does not exceed the amount of grain accumulated by Baihui.
Bai Hui exchanged porcelain, tea, jade, everything for money, and more than seventy percent of it was exchanged for grain. It can be said that ninety percent of the grain sold abroad in Chu fell into Bai Hui's hands.
The king of Qin said to the kings of Han and Wei: "It is right for you to attach to Qin, so that all the people will not suffer from war." Now you have only heard of the grain, and I tell you that there is a small town in Baihui, Ba County, and this town has a population of about 50,000 people, and ninety out of ten of the people are engaged in the weaving industry. You can't guess how much hemp is produced each year? ”
When it comes to this town, it is definitely the pride of King Qin.
"How many?"
"This is the end of the matter, so I'll take you to see it. What is the real industry, what is the integrated production. King Qin couldn't close his mouth when he smiled.
King Han and King Wei were greatly interested: "Okay, let's go and have a look." ”
From Yanyi Wharf to the river upstream, you can get to Ba County, which is not far.
Three days later, the king of Chu took Xiong Zilan to meet with the king of Qin and Bai Hui.
After meeting, the king of Chu spoke first: "Our Chu State promised to change, but three conditions were added. ”
"Please!"
Xiong Zilan took out a bamboo slip and handed it over, and said: "The conditions are very simple, the first one is that the Qin State sends a double quality, and the people are selected by my Chu State." Second, all the defenders on the Qin-Chu border retreated fifty miles, and the border cities were open for trade and trade, and no troops were allowed to be garrisoned. Third, please invite Bai Hui, the great river monarch of the Qin State, to come to Quanzhou in person, stay for at least three months, and my Chu State will receive it according to the courtesy of the princes. ”
King Qin didn't even open the bamboo slip, and immediately spoke: "Attach one condition, and the widow immediately agrees to these three conditions." ”
"Please!"
"My mother wants to go back to her hometown to see, so Bai Hui brought three thousand guards. Also, there is no problem with double quality, Ye Yang also wants to go home for a few days, this is not a condition, just to visit relatives. ”
King Chu's originally tense face softened, Ye Yang, his own sister.
The king of Chu almost forgot that he was the eldest brother of the king of Qin.
And when it comes to the status of the Empress Dowager Qin Xuan Miyue in the Chu State, she and the King of Qin are cousins.
"My sister is going to go home and see, all these years. I'm still Ying Zhi's own uncle, and if I want to come back, I, as an uncle, must be treated well, and be entertained well. The king of Chu remembered family affection.
Bai Hui handed over a square scarf: "King Chu, Qin Chu will be friendly." ”
"Friendly? Ha ha! The King of Chu shook his head: "There will be a battle of life and death between Qin and Chu, if the Chu State is defeated, you can do whatever you want." Only when the state of Chu is victorious, can there be this kind of friendship. Fortunately, there is no need to fight in these years, and it also allows the state of Chu to recuperate for several years, come, prepare wine, and want to have a drink today. ”
"Okay, get drunk!" King Qin was also very happy.
Bai Hui said to Xiong Zilan: "Brother Zilan, let's not talk about the trivial matter of this covenant, the State of Chu will arrange envoys, and I, the State of Qin, will let the Marquis come to talk, how about it?" ”
"And get drunk today?"
"Of course, you have to get drunk."
Originally, a very important negotiation ended before it began, and it was discussed with a kiss, and then a big bowl of wine.
The King of Chu was half drunk and put his arm on Bai Hui's shoulder: "This drinks, but there is no high-quality wine vessel." You stingy Dahejun, that red and white porcelain, the whole world has seen it from the Son of Heaven, and you are not willing to give a set. ”
"Two sets, it has to be two. This red color is extremely difficult to refine, and it has only been burned into six and a half sets for so long. ”
"Two sets, I'll wait. Hahaha. ”
The king of Chu is talking about the red on the outside and white on the inside, Bai Hui's favorite one, which is a kind of Song porcelain in Bai Hui's memory, but it is not so clear.
White and light are easy, but red is very, very difficult, and it will change color if you make a mistake.
It is not easy for the nobles to ask for a set of defective and discolored remnants, and the price of the change of hands is as high as a thousand gold, that is, ten catties of gold. Genuine products are hard to find.
Drink well, have fun.
This banquet was drunk for three days, and the King of Qin and the King of Chu were already brothers at the wine table, they were originally cousins, and there was nothing inappropriate for this brother to be commensurate.
Next, Bai Hui and the three kings of Qin, Wei, and Han took a boat against the current and went to Bajun.
A few days later, in a small town on the side of a mountain in Ba County.
This town is not closed, but except for the officials of the Qin State here, few people have come here.
As for who is the King of Qin? Half of the people in the town can't figure it out, looking younger than the prefectural order, but they wear silk, so they should ...... Seem...... Maybe it's a little bigger than the county magistrate.
The county order is called Black Sword, a military marquis of Xianyang Wei who was once one-armed.
That arm was lost in the battle with the Six-Nation Alliance as early as the time of King Qin Xian, and because of his literacy, he became an official after learning Qin law, and was then selected and sent to this town.
According to the planning of the Qin State, a town of more than 50,000 people can already be regarded as a medium-sized city.
But there is no city here, and there is no need to build a city, so it is still a town, but it is a county-level town.
Hei Jian did not receive a notice in advance, and King Qin's arrival was sudden.
"See my king! I've seen Dahe-kun. Meet King Wei and King Han......
