The son's grave is next to the mausoleum of Duke Qi Huan, a rather important position. The scale is also quite good, and the burial is completely in accordance with the status of the royal descendants.

After seeing his son's grave, Linyi and his wife fainted on the spot. Only the poor little girl, crying and shouting her brother's name.

When the guards saw this, they couldn't help but cry.

Looking at his son's grave, Lin Yi's heart was infinitely grateful to Qi Huan Gong. Qi Huan Gong is so good to him, he really has nothing to reciprocate, he can only live well and do things for his master.

See the son's grave buried in the royal cemetery, and! Buried next to the cemetery of Duke Qi Huan, Linyi's wife was equally moved.

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, living people began to build mausoleums. Qi Huan Gong was the same, and began to build a mausoleum in his early years.

After returning from the cemetery, Linyi's wife was a little nicer to her husband. Furthermore! Lin Yi was in front of her, she was beaten and scolded, she couldn't fight back, she didn't scold back, so she couldn't do it in the end. Seeing her husband thin like that, as thin as her, it is conceivable that her husband really regretted it. So! She slowly forgave him.

After recuperating for a while, his body was almost recovered, and Lin Yi began to deal with business matters.

Since his business had become a "national businessman", everything was managed by the officials of the state of Qi in the days when he was not presiding. The shopkeeper under his command did not dare to come nonsense, and he was serious and responsible.

In business, there is no loss, and there is no improvement, and it is standing still.

Lin Yi was not satisfied with all this and decided to make a big move. Only when you have improved in business can you be worthy of the Lord's cultivation of you.

This day! Duke Qi Huan sent someone over and invited him into the palace.

In the study, Qi Huan Gong prepared a banquet for him, and talked about things with him while eating and drinking.

After Lin Yi kowtowed, he began to talk about his plan. He decided: to unify the domestic warehouses and standardize the commercial behavior of domestic inns, wine stores, restaurants, and so on. Anyone who is not a "national" brand will be taxed more heavily......

In terms of foreign trade, the import and export trade of warehouses with the name of "country" can also be exempted from taxes. All private or foreign businessmen are subject to increased taxes.

As Bai Gui expected, Linyi adopted trade protectionism and suppressed other people's normal business. Later! Qi Guo Market has the final say on his Linyi family.

"Hmmm! Good! Qi Huan Gong nodded. Then he asked: "Our Qi country also has a weakness, in terms of ore, it is seriously insufficient, and it completely depends on imports from Chu State. So! ……”

Qi Huan Gong didn't say it completely, that means: The ore of our Qi State used to rely on Bai Gui as a middleman, and it was bought directly or indirectly from the Chu State. If you engage in trade protectionism and leave Bai Gui alone, then? Will it affect our Qi country's ore imports?

To know! Ore is a strategic material, and if it cannot be imported, it will be very unfavorable to our country.

"Lord!" Lin Yi left his seat, knelt down for Qi Huan Gong, and promised: "Lin Yi will do everything possible to directly import ore from Chu State." ”

"Importing ore directly from the State of Chu?" Qi Huan Gong couldn't believe it.

"We can form an alliance with the State of Chu, or! Take the way of exchanging land to exchange ore. ”

"Changing land?" Qi Huan Gong didn't understand for a while, looked at Lin Yi and asked.

"I heard? (My brother-in-law Bai Gui said) The state of Chu has always had the ambition of annexing several small vassal states in the land of Huaibei, but it's a pity! For many reasons, it has not been successful. So! If we give convenience to the Chu State, we will exchange some land for the Chu State, so as to facilitate the annexation of the Great Cause by the Chu State. Such! Once the state of Chu succeeds, we will get the land adjacent to the state of Qi......"

"Oh?" When Qi Huan Gong heard this, he felt that it made sense and was very inspired.

"And that's not all! We can also marry with the state of Chu and maintain an alliance. And then! Make the exchange of ores a condition. We don't want ore for nothing, we must spend money to buy it! Marriage! Just one more layer of relationship.

Lord! The relationship between the state of Chu and the state of Qin, that is, the relationship of marriage. When the state of Chu was destroyed, the state of Qin sent troops to save the state of Chu. Right now! The State of Qin was bullied by the State of Wei, the State of Zhao and the State of Korea, and it was completely covered by the State of Chu, otherwise it would have been defeated a long time ago. That's the benefit of marriage. ”

Back then, in order to take revenge, Wu Zixu almost destroyed the Chu State. If it weren't for the immediate dispatch of troops by the Qin State, the Chu State would have been destroyed.

After hearing this, Gong Qi Huan nodded, and Lin Yi inspired him again. Good! It's a great idea!

That's when it happened! One of the guards walked in quickly and whispered to the little eunuch who was serving on the side. After the little monitor listened, he came over and told the eunuch beside Qi Huangong.

"What's going on?" Seeing this, Qi Huan Gong asked.

"Back to the Lord's Word! News from the country of Qi! Our grandson of the State of Qi is in the State of Wei. He was a disciple of Mr. Guiguzi and was a military genius. Right now! He wanted to be a career in the Wei Kingdom, so he went to his senior brother Pang Juan......"

Qi Huan Gong raised his right hand and stopped: "Grandson? Pang Juan? ”

Who is the grandson? Sun Tzu is Sun Wu. I also talked about Wu Zixu just now, Sun Wu and Wu Zixu are people of the same era and a military strategist. Reputedly! What kind of book did he write called "The Art of War"? Unfortunately! The book is said to have been lost.

Right now! How did another grandson pop up?

Who is this grandson?

Pang Juan? Who Pang Juan is, Qi Huan Gong naturally knows! It was this Pang Juan who led his troops to attack the Qi State. The state of Qi was defenseless for a while and was temporarily defeated. But! The State of Qi didn't want to come to the real thing for the time being, but just wanted the State of Wei to stay on the territory of the State of Qi for a while longer. When the time comes, catch the turtle in another urn.

It's not that the Qi State can't defeat the coalition forces of the Wei State and the Zhao State, but! deliberately let the main army of Wei go deep alone.

In this war, Zhao and Qi had a tacit relationship, and both were attacked by the Wei army.

Qi Guo's idea is: wait until the time is ripe, and then fight back. With the power of one country, cut off the reinforcements and retreats of Wei, and then eat Pang Juan to make dumplings.

"This grandson! It's a descendant of that grandson, I heard! He is also a disciple of Mr. Guiguzi, and his military talent is stronger than Pang Juan. He has just arrived in Wei and hopes to make a career in Wei! Lord! What do they mean? Do you want to bring your grandson back? ”

"Why didn't he go out in the Qi country?" Qi Huangong's face changed and he asked.

"This?" Naturally, the chief eunuch couldn't answer.

"Since it's talent, we're all welcome! As for why he didn't go out in the Qi country? Don't blame him! Maybe? He felt that our Qi country was not the Qi country before, so he was unwilling. We can understand that! Go ahead! Such talents must be dug up! ”

The influence of the Tian clan has not disappeared for the time being. The fame of the Tian family is not very good.

Qi Huan Gong waved his arm and asked the guards to pass the word out.

Since the opening of the Jixia School Palace, Qi Huan Gong has received tangible benefits. So! He cares a lot about talent.

Since they are talents, they must be redeemed and given official positions.
