Faced with King Qin's questioning, Wei Ran explained:

"I want to ask the king to help the minister persuade the queen mother, and tell the king that Bai Hui only gave Xianyang 50,000 gold, this matter is really hateful, and the king knows how much Bai Hui got in Yichuan?"

Bai Hui screamed: "Your Majesty, your golden mouth and jade words, the edict has been issued and cannot be changed." ”

King Qin hated, hated himself for being in Bai Hui's hands again, 50,000 gold was really a lot, but it was only half of Bai Hui's proceeds from dealing with the loot last night.

"Okay, okay, you ......" King Qin pointed at Bai Hui and smiled: "Wang Zhao ......"

"Don't, don't. The king, the minister suddenly felt that the king was very, very hard to govern the Qin State. The minister decided to use the proceeds from the next five years after the Battle of Yichuan in the vicinity of Luoyi to build a waterway for the king to take a boat from Xianyang to Luoyang, so that the king could come to Luoyi when he had time. ”

King Qin was stunned, Wei Ran choked on a mouthful of water and coughed non-stop.

Finally, Wei Ran relieved himself: "Your Majesty, this waterway is not easy to repair, it is feasible." It's just that the income here in Luoyi can pay for such a big project? ”

"Yes, I must be able to, the minister is the king, and he will die for the Qin country, even if he eats tree bark every day and gnaws grass roots, he will repair this waterway for the king, and only ask the king to allow the minister to run this area of Luoyi, and also earn a little more money to supplement the military."

This time, King Qin did not immediately agree, and pointed to the corner of the wall and said to Bai Hui: "You go over there, and you are not allowed to turn your head in the corner." ”

Bai Hui was sent to the corner of the wall to be punished, and the King of Qin sat down with Wei Ran to discuss.

"Uncle, how much does this waterway cost and how much manpower does it take?"

"Not a lot, at least at the moment, the treasury of the Qin State cannot support this waterway. After thinking about it, it should be the Jingwei waterway first, and then the Tongguan waterway to join the Yellow River, but the line of the Yellow River also needs to be managed, and several of them are not small projects, five years is enough time, this financial resources, manpower Luoyi This area is far from enough, unless he has other ways to make money. ”

Wei Ran was also taken aback, and this Bai Hui also dared to speak.

You know, how big a canal is to build, but if the waterway from Xianyang to Luoyi is passable, then the benefits are ......

The king of Qin also thought of the benefits, when this canal was built, the Qin army went from Xianyang to Luoyang, who dared to fight against Qin in the Central Plains.

"Uncle, then repair?"

"Repair!" Wei Ran nodded heavily and said, "This matter is a great thing, Bai Hui is probably also preparing for the Qin army's conquest of the Central Plains, and this matter can support him." When necessary, Xianyang can send 100,000 people to help, but the money and food are not given. The minister estimated that Bai Hui would ask for the proceeds of the attack later. ”

King Qin didn't know how much he would gain from attacking Qi, so he immediately asked Wei Ran: "Uncle, how much will be the benefit from attacking Qi?" ”

"It depends on the situation on the battlefield, if you win all the way and capture Qidu. Bai Hui can get more than 10 million dollars, so it seems that the minister should not mention any fixed numbers to Bai Hui, and the trick that the minister learned from Bai Hui is very effective. ”

"What's the trick?"

Wei Ran glanced at Bai Hui, who was standing in the corner of the wall, and a smile appeared on his face: "Your Majesty, according to the proportion." He can take half of the proceeds, or 60%, and give him up to 70%. Thinking that with the benefits of attacking, this canal from Xianyang to Luoyang is not a problem. ”

After discussing with Wei Ran, King Qin turned around and shouted at Bai Hui, "You, come here." ”

Bai Hui ran over happily and bowed slightly: "Please give the king's orders." ”

King Qin said: "If you have any requests, just put them forward." ”

"It's better for the king, the king cares about his subordinates the most, and the king ......" Bai Hui was about to shoot a series of invincible sycophants, and King Qin waved his hand: "You say directly, what do you want?" ”

"Your Majesty, there is not much for your ministers. The minister estimated that this battle must be fought. The minister begged the king to leave the spoils of war to the minister. When Bai Hui said this, King Qin and Wei Ran glanced at each other, and said in their hearts that this was indeed the case.

But Bai Hui continued: "The minister thought in his heart that after the battle of Qi, Qin and Sanjin might not be able to fight in a short time, so the next one that might fight was the Chu State. The minister asked the king to leave the next battle of Chu to the minister, this ...... The spoils of attacking Chu are only seventy percent. ”

King Qin was speechless.

Bai Hui not only wanted to capture the spoils of the battle as he discussed with Wei Ran, but also booked the next foreign battle.

"Okay." King Qin nodded and said: "According to the discussion in the court, the widow has also discussed with the Queen Mother, as well as Xiangguo and Guowei, after the New Year, your brother Bai Qi will take over as Guowei, Guowei is Shaoliangzuo according to Qin's law, and your brother is promoted to a first-order lord for Daliangzao." The former national lieutenant Sima Cuo, the old general, entered the Tai Lieutenant. ”

The rank of Tai Lieutenant of the Qin State has been empty for some years, and the Qin Army system Tai Lieutenant is the highest military position, commanding the whole army. And the lieutenant is in charge of military and political affairs, which is equivalent to a deputy position.

Then, there was also a lieutenant, equivalent to the commander of the garrison of the capital, who did not participate in ordinary military affairs unless he was in a national war. The public security and fire protection of Xianyang City are also under its jurisdiction.

"I, I, what about me?"

Bai Hui pointed at himself so anxiously and asked, which made King Qin and Wei Ran very uncomfortable.

In the past, above the court of the Qin State, Wuwen Wudu faced the knighthood and the addition of officials with humility, but Bai Hui's anxious appearance was also unprecedented and unprecedented.

King Qin smiled and said, "The widow will not treat you badly. Your military position is to lead the military captain, and the lord is made for Shaoliang, and you will be given a civilian position, and the commander will be the lieutenant. Also, the widow warns you, go out to fight, don't make the widow uneasy every time, this time you say to fight half of the east of the river, what is the result? ”

Bai Hui smiled: "The king doesn't like it? ”

"This!" King Qin was defeated by Bai Hui, but he was not angry, King Qin said: "It's not that I don't like it, it's just that I am worried and very uncomfortable." ”

"It's good if the king likes it, the minister doesn't understand it very well, what kind of official is this Lang Zhongling?"

Wei Ran slapped Bai Hui on the head heavily: "As a courtier, I don't even know this. Lang Zhongling is one of the nine kings, and he discusses in the palace, receives affairs, and asks the palace guards. There are doctors in the subordinate officials, and there are left and right Zhonglang generals in the martial arts. You lead the post of lieutenant commander and go to participate in the merger of the Six Kingdoms on behalf of my Great Qin. ”

"Got it." Bai Hui nodded heavily: "However, if the minister returns to Xianyang, I am afraid that there will be no time to deal with the affairs here." ”

"You don't need to worry about the affairs of the court, you just stay here. Presumably......" Wei Ran thought for a moment: "It is estimated that in the next five years, you will be at home in Yiyang." Your brother is married, and you're not young. ”

"I'm young, I'm young." Bai Hui waved his hand anxiously, he didn't want to be a victim of a political marriage.

Bai Qi has no choice, for the sake of the future, he must marry the daughter of a famous family now.
