Chapter Seventy-Five: Debt Collection

Immediately, Dai Yan and Zhang Yi exchanged game science and vertical and horizontal techniques. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Game science, or game theory, has been valued by the world since it was invented. One of the most obvious examples is that since 1994, one-third of the Nobel laureates in economics have been experts in game science.

This kind of learning is a mathematical way to study the struggles between people and between organizations. It can be said that it is a well-deserved manifestation of learning in later generations.

The main purpose of the Zongheng technique is to teach the Zongheng family to win the favor of the monarchs of various countries through scheming and speech skills, so as to help the Zongheng family obtain power and wealth.

Of course, Zhang Yi can't ask for such an exchange. For him, the vertical and horizontal art is what he seeks to get rich, and the more clever he is, the better. And Dai Yan didn't dare to underestimate it because of the ancient doctrine of vertical and horizontal art. It can be said that game science is only a pure doctrine, while vertical and horizontal art can be classified as wisdom.

In addition, Zhang Yi has traveled the world for many years and has seen a lot of time, and Dai Yan and his exchanges have also helped to broaden his horizons in this era. The Song Kingdom was deaf by the people of the world, and the news was relatively closed, and Dai Yan urgently needed to know the accurate news of various countries.

When Dai Yan finally talked about his coming to Chu to collect debts this time, Zhang Yi said directly: "Son, don't think about recovering this debt." The country of Chu, like the Chu people, especially likes to be clever. For them, they can take advantage of a little bit of cheapness, and they never care about faith. ”

After hearing Zhang Yi's explanation, Dai Yan didn't plan to waste time in this Chu country. On the second day, he went directly to Zhaoyang's mansion and said to Zhaoyang straight to the point: "Lord Ling Yin, the kid has been in the Chu State for two months, but can the debt owed by the Chu State to our country be repaid?" ”

Zhaoyang still replied with an ambiguous answer.

Dai Yan didn't get along with Zhaoyang, he said directly: "As a pedestrian of the Song Kingdom, it is impossible to stay in the Chu State for a long time. The main reason why I came to your country is that your country owes us unpaid debts. If the state of Chu can repay our debts, then Ling Yin can give a definite answer; If not, then I will immediately resign from your country. ”

Zhaoyang couldn't help but reply when he heard such straightforward words, and then he said to Dai Yan: "Since the prince is so anxious about this matter, then I will immediately take you into the palace to discuss with the king, and I will definitely give you an answer." ”

Because Chu is located in the south, most of the cities are relatively high, so many cities in Chu are named after "mausoleums". And the palace of Chu is even more at a high place, and the many "platforms" in the palace of the king of Chu are actually high platforms.

Dai Yan followed Zhaoyang into the palace of the king of Chu, passed through the high platforms one by one, and finally met Xiong Huai, the new king of Chu, in a side hall of the harem.

Xiong Huai was a young man in his twenties who had just taken over the huge empire left to him by King Chu Wei, and he was in a good mood. At least, when Dai Yan came in, he was watching the song and dance, and there were beautiful women around him beating his shoulders, which was very comfortable.

After Dai Yan saw this King of Chu, he greeted him for a while, and then he didn't talk nonsense, and directly said in a clear manner: "King, when King Wei of your country was alive, he conquered Qi and conquered Yue, and he bought a large amount of grain from my country, and now it is time to repay the debt. The kid was forced by our businessmen to send an envoy to the state of Chu, and now he has been here for two months. The boy only hopes that the king can end this matter as soon as possible, and I can return to China to explain to the people. ”

When the king of Chu heard this, he also had to get up from the pile of fat powder. He asked Zhaoyang in surprise: "Ling Yin, there is still such a thing, why didn't you tell the widow earlier?" Then he immediately assured Dai Yan: "Son, rest assured, my Chu country is a great country, and I will definitely repay your country in full." ”

Before the King of Chu finished speaking, Zhaoyang coughed a few times on the side, so the King of Chu realized that there was something wrong with this matter, and then he stopped talking and summoned Zhaoyang forward to speak.

The two talked closely for a while, and then the king of Chu said to Dai Yan: "Son, it's the widow who didn't understand the situation before, which made you laugh." This king still said that the debts that should be repaid to your country will naturally not be in arrears. However, now that this king has just ascended the throne, this king does not have so much money in his hands to pay off your country's debts for the time being. It's better to wait until the end of the year, and when our country's autumn harvest is completed, this king will return all the grain owed by the previous king to the Song country, how about it? ”

When Dai Yan heard this, he really believed that Chu State didn't care what the situation of Xinyi was. During the war, the state of Chu said that it was all about using money to buy food, but now it is good, not only will it continue to be in arrears, but it will also pay back the grain directly without paying back!

In the face of such an "old lai", Dai Yan has no choice. If it is really done according to the method mentioned by the king of Chu, then the business reputation of the Song State in the country will go bankrupt directly. Dai Yan had no choice but to say to the king of Chu: "If you follow the king's approach, you really can't return to China and make a difference to the country." If the state of Chu really does this, I am afraid that the state of Chu will have no faith among the nations from now on. ”

When the king of Chu heard Dai Yan's threatening words, he immediately waved away the palace maids of the Chu State who were serving him around him, and said to Dai Yan with a straight face: "Are you saying that if my Chu State does not repay its debts, your Song State will publicize this matter among the nations?" Even if you go, my Chu country has millions of soldiers, will you still be afraid of your Song country? ”

Seeing the King of Chu's such a scoundrel approach, not only Dai Yan, but even Ling Yin Zhaoyang, who was in front of the King of Chu, couldn't sit still. He hurriedly stopped the angry Dai Yan, and then said to Dai Yan: "Son, you go back to rest first, and I will give you an answer after discussing with the king, how about it?" ”

Immediately, he didn't wait for Dai Yan to reply, so he sent someone to send Dai Yan down.

When Dai Yan went down, Zhaoyang said to the king of Chu: "My lord, I know that my country owes a lot of debts to the Song state. However, if we really do this untrustworthy act, I am afraid that it will be unfavorable to our Chu country in the future. ”

The king of Chu replied nonchalantly: "What's the disadvantage? As long as there are strong soldiers in my Chu country, who dares to be unfavorable to my Chu country? ”

Hearing King Chu's attitude, Zhaoyang had no choice.

He then said to the King of Chu: "Great King, but this Prince of Song is by no means a simple person. When the first king was alive, he once said that he would marry the princess Miyue to him, so as to marry my Chu State and Song State. From this point of view, this Gongzi Yan can also be regarded as our own person in the Chu State, wouldn't it be bad for us to do this? ”

When the king of Chu heard Mi Yue, he immediately reacted, and then he said to Zhaoyang: "Marry the princess to him?" You don't have to think about this, my mother has already persuaded me to stop this marriage, and the widow has already agreed. ”

It turned out that when Xiong Huai ascended the throne, his mother, Empress Wei, hated that Xiang had wanted to put her to death, so after Xiong Huai ascended the throne, he wanted to execute all Xiang's children, but he was directly destroyed by her opponent.

And after offending Miyue again, Empress Wei heard Zhao Sui say that King Wei had married this princess she hated so much to a virtuous prince of the Song Kingdom, and Empress Wei immediately became alert. When I heard about this prince of the Song Kingdom from the mouths of Zhao Sui and Qu Yuan, he was not only both civil and military at a young age, but also held a high position in the Song Kingdom. Empress Wei immediately forced Xiong Huai to terminate the marriage between the Song State and the Chu State.

In her opinion, if this Mi Yue married into the Song Kingdom and was burdened with such a deep hatred, she would inevitably find a way to retaliate. And this prince of the Song State is obviously also a capable person, if he listens to Mi Yue's advice to take revenge on the Chu State, then the Chu State will inevitably have a great crisis in the future! If you want to end this crisis, the best way is to put Miyue under her nose!

Therefore, Dai Yan actually didn't know that the marriage between him and Chu State had collapsed.

The king of Chu told Zhaoyang the truth, and when Zhaoyang heard this, he could only sigh.

But he was quick to make up his mind. Since the state of Chu wants to cancel the marriage with the state of Song, then this is already offending the state of Song. One offense is offense, and two things are also offenses, so he decided to follow the advice of the king of Chu: The debt owed by Chu to Song will not be repaid directly!

Three days later, Zhaoyang personally summoned Dai Yan at Ling Yin's mansion, and he said directly to Dai Yan: "Tell Gongzi two things. The marriage between my Chu State and the Song State was canceled by my king. The debt owed by our Chu State to the Song State is not ready to be repaid by our country. ”

Hearing such amazing news, Dai Yan was also a little unbearable. He replied directly to Zhaoyang: "If your country does this, it will completely force my Song State to the opposite side of the Chu State. ”

Zhaoyang didn't care at all when he heard Dai Yan's reply, he said directly: "Even if my Chu State clearly offends the Song State, what can the Song State do to my Chu State?" ”

Dai Yan is also a temperamental person, and when he heard Chu Guo's attitude, he retreated directly without even saying hello.

After Dai Yan returned to his residence, the first thing he did was to find Zhang Yi and say to him: "Didn't Mr. want to take revenge on Yin Zhaoyang of Chu State for insulting you?" I am willing to fully fund Mr. to go to Qin. If Mr. can be in a high position in the Qin State, I don't need Mr. to repay me in any way, as long as Mr. can use the power of the Qin State to vigorously attack the Chu State, can the Sir? ”
