1,000,000 gold, 100 miles of Huaibei, 7 cities! As soon as this series of bids came out, the entire auction hall instantly fell into a strange collective silence!

Even the auctioneer froze and did not give an offer for this price. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

In the end, Dai Yan, who was still present, was the first to react, and he directly questioned Mi Heng and said: "Prince, if you offer such a high price, the Heavenly Sword will naturally be in your pocket." But I don't know which piece of Chu land you want to cede, and which seven cities you want to cede? How does the state of Chu plan to deliver these lands and cities? ”

As soon as everyone heard this, they immediately reacted. The state of Chu is willing to exchange one million gold, 100 li of Huaibei land and seven cities in exchange for the Heavenly Sword, is it true or false? If Chu Guo was just shouting for fun, then maybe there would be fun to watch.

Hearing Dai Yan's questioning, Mi Heng, who was originally impulsive, quickly calmed down. At this time, he already realized that the price he quoted was also a little too outrageous, but he would definitely not be able to do it if he was so dishonest in front of the envoys of all countries in the world. So he said directly: "I heard that the Song State has been borrowing the Fuli grassland at the junction of Song and Chu as pasture. I want to exchange it for the Heavenly Sword's land of a hundred miles in Huaibei, there are seven cities, that is, a hundred miles of land centered on Fu Lisai, there are exactly seven cities there, and they will be given to the Song Kingdom together! As long as Duke Cao hands over the Yitian Sword to me, after I bring it back to Chu, I will definitely ask my father to hand over the editions of the seven cities to the Song Kingdom! ”

When Dai Yan heard this, he smiled. This kind of delivery method seems to be no problem, but he is familiar with the history of the Warring States and has long known some of the routines played by the people of the Warring States!

When Zhang Yi broke up the Qi-Chu alliance, he promised Chu that as long as Chu could break off diplomatic relations with Qi, Qin would cede 600 li of Shang Yu and Chu, and the king of Chu believed this set of rhetoric. However, as soon as the state of Chu completely broke off diplomatic relations with Qi, the six hundred li of land that Zhang Yi promised to do business immediately became six li!

Later, the Qin State asked the Zhao State for the Heshi Bi, and said that it would exchange fifteen cities for the Heshi Bi of the Zhao State, but once the Heshi Bi arrived in the Qin State, the King of Qin had no intention of ceding the city at all.

The shadows of these names flashed in his heart, but the smile on Dai Yan's face became brighter and brighter, and he said to Mi Heng: "For the land of Fuli Grassland that the prince said, I am indeed very interested in it!" Since the State of Chu is willing to cede it to my Song State, then it is not a big deal for the Heavenly Sword to be handed over to the State of Chu! As long as the State of Chu and my Song State have handed over the edition, the Heavenly Sword will be presented immediately without delay! ”

When the crown prince Mi Heng heard this, he was a little unhappy: "Is Gong Cao worried that my Chu State is not trustworthy and deliberately defrauds the Song State?" My Chu State is a big country, how can I lose my trust in the Song State for the sake of a mere hundred miles? When Cao Gong said this, he was really speculating on my country with malice! ”

Hearing that the prince of Chu State boasted that Chu State had good credit, a chorus of boos rang out in the entire auction hall when he was neutral. As soon as the king of Chu ascends the throne, he can do things that are in arrears to the merchants of the Song State, and the credit of the Chu State can be seen!

And now there are actually the victims of these businessmen in the field, if it weren't for Dai Yan who repaid the debts of Chu at that time, these people would have gone bankrupt a long time ago!

When he saw that the businessmen present were about to come out to accuse the Chu State of credit, Dai Yan immediately stood up, stopped them from speaking and said to Mi Heng: "Prince, how dare you not believe in the credit of the Chu State!" However, Chu is strong and Song is weak, as long as Chu can hand over the property and Fuli Grassland Edition to our country, he will definitely sacrifice the Heavenly Sword in the future! My Song Kingdom has always had a good reputation, and now that there are so many envoys and feudal lords present to testify, how dare I deceive Qiang Chu with a weak Song Dynasty? I can swear here that if my son Yan violates the deal with Chu State here, and Chu State will cut down my Taoqiu in the future, it will all be my Song State's own fault! In this way, can the prince rest assured? ”

Mi Heng thought for a while, and then said to Dai Yan: "In this way, I can deliver 1 million gold to Cao Gong first, and Cao Gong will hand over Yitian to me." When I return to Chu with this sword, my Chu State will hand over the version of the Fuli Grassland to the Song State. What does Cao Gong think? ”

Hearing that Mi Heng made such a concession, Dai Yan also made some concessions, and he replied: "In this way, the State of Chu will hand over the version of the Fuli Grassland to the Song State, and I will immediately hand over the Yitian Sword to the prince!" When the crown prince returns to Chu with the Yitian Sword, he will hand over the remaining one million gold to me!" If the crown prince can't even agree to such a request, then I can only announce the re-auction of this Heavenly Sword! ”

When Mi Heng saw Dai Yan say this, and the feudal lords and envoys of various countries on the scene also looked at him with suspicion and impatience, he also knew that this was Dai Yan's last condition. So he had no choice but to agree: "Since Cao Gong asked for this, then he had no choice but to do so!" However, the delivery of the two editions may take a long time, and I hope that Cao Gong can wait patiently! ”

Dai Yan said with a smile: "It's okay, I can wait patiently for such a thing." If the prince doesn't dislike it, he can have a good time playing in my Taoqiu, maybe there will be other gains! ”

Everyone present saw that the owner of the Heavenly Sword had already negotiated with the buyer, and knew that there would probably not be too many twists and turns in this matter. So they all left the auction house one after another, purchased some Taoqiu's unique goods, and returned to China one after another!

However, Dai Yan quickly reported the news that the Chu State was going to cede the Fuli grassland and its seven cities, and quickly reported it to Suiyang! In a letter to Song Junzixi, Dai Yan clearly proposed: He will not privately swallow the land of a hundred miles away from the grassland, he will hand it all over to the monarch, and the monarch will appoint officials to manage it himself! As a price for giving up this place, he hoped that Zixi could give him economic privileges in the Fuli Grassland and give him the exclusive right to graze here! And I hope that this place can be used as his and Zhao Xue's private hunting ground!

For such a request, Song Junzixi also happily agreed. In his opinion, now he has no effort at all, and the Song Kingdom has "expanded" another hundred miles in his hands, which is stronger than before! And in the cities around the grassland, he can appoint a large number of officials and distribute oil and water to his cronies, what a good thing!!

For Dai Yan, his practice of handing over the governing power to the state and retaining the economic rights of the grassland is actually a kind of self-preservation. Now that he already has one of the three capitals of the Song Kingdom and a Fengyi, if he owns the entire Fuli Grassland, then it will inevitably form a deterrent to his brother Song Junzixi.

In this way, there are equivalent to two centers in the Song Kingdom, and these two centers are equal in power. Under such circumstances, the Song Kingdom would inevitably fall into a large-scale civil war!

Now, he will "hand over" Fu from the grassland, just to tell the high-level of the Song State: he doesn't have much ambition, he just wants to make good money, and he can be a rich and noble son!

However, no matter what Dai Yan's true thoughts were, after the incident of Yitian Sword, the situation of Taoqiu and Suiyang as the twin centers of the Song Kingdom had actually been formed. Can this dual-center balance of the Song Kingdom really be maintained for a long time?

After a long period of deliberation, the state of Chu finally handed over the manuscripts of the Fuli grassland and the seven surrounding cities to the state of Song. Seeing that the matter was over, Dai Yan found Mi Heng, the prince of Chu who was addicted to grain futures in the Taoqiu Exchange, and handed over the Yitian Sword to him personally.

Prince Mi Heng took Yitian with an impatient face, handed it over to the entourage of the security officer, and continued to devote himself to the exciting gambling of grain futures.

Dai Yan kindly reminded: "Prince, aren't you going to return to Chu now?" ”

The disturbed Mi Heng said to Dai Yan almost violently: "Cao Gong, I'm studying grain futures now, don't bother me, okay?" ”

Seeing that his kind reminder didn't work, Dai Yan immediately kept silent, and he didn't mind how he played in Taoqiu.

It wasn't until later, when the king of Chu was worried that something had happened to his son in Taoqiu, that he personally sent an envoy to take Mi Heng away from Taoqiu, and the prince of Chu reluctantly left his territory.

After returning to China, Mi Heng obviously also had a lot of resentment towards Taoqiu, because he was forcibly taken away by the envoy of the King of Chu, so that he could only sell grain futures at a low price, which made him lose a lot of money. This made him hate not only Tao Qiu, but also Dai Yan!

And when he returned to the state of Chu, he was immediately severely reprimanded by the king of Chu, Mi Huai: "What did you do with this kid? Not only did it break Tai'a, but it also cost me Chu Guo so much to get this Heavenly Sword! ”

Such a severe reprimand immediately made Mi Heng very frightened, and immediately pleaded guilty to the king of Chu: "Father, Tai'a is invincible to Yitian, and this is not a child's sin!" And since Tai'a was cut off by Yitian, all the nations are fiercely competing for this sword, if the child does not spend a lot of money, how can he get such a sword? This sword is refined by the prosperity of Jutaoqiu, and it happens to be the treasure of the town after the loss of Tai'a in my Chu State! Now that my Chu State holds this sword, it will definitely be able to prosper again in the future! ”

Hearing Mi Heng's defense, King Chu's anger subsided for a moment, but then he asked, "Then how do you explain your stay in Taoqiu?" Is Taoqiu that fun? If I don't send a messenger, will you stay in Taoqiu and never come back? ”

Regarding this matter, Mi Heng could only explain embarrassedly: "Father, the child is not playing in Taoqiu, but has found a very interesting thing in Taoqiu, called futures. This futures can make money without touching the real thing, and the child wants to have nothing to do in Taoqiu anyway, so it is better to try it with the money in his hand and see if he can earn some income for my Chu country. Originally, I had already started to make money, but my father forcibly brought the child back to Chu, and the money that could have been earned was folded in... ”

The king of Chu was extremely speechless about this, and it was difficult to say anything. was about to let him go home, but then he suddenly remembered something and asked Mi Heng: "What do you think of the remaining 1 million gold that is still owed to Tao Qiujun?" ”

"Father, the child thinks that now that the Heavenly Sword has arrived in my Chu country, then the remaining one million gold will not be given to my Chu country, and I don't dare to have any opinions on my Chu country!" Mi Heng said without hesitation.

Hearing Mi Heng's opinion, Chu King Mi Huai smiled with relief, and then said to Mi Heng: "Hearing you say this, I am finally relieved." It seems that you also wanted to get your hands on the Heavenly Sword through other means, but unfortunately that Ziyan was too vigilant and failed. As the crown prince of Chu and the future king of Chu, you should have such a scheming! But you also have to remember that this time, that time. Now that my Chu State has given a hundred miles of land to the Song State in exchange for this Heavenly Sword, all the countries have seen the trustworthy side of my Chu State, and at this moment, we should cherish our credit! One million gold is nothing to my Chu State, and I will give it to Song State. ”

Mi Heng asked rhetorically: "Father, then according to what you said, the land of Huaibei that my Chu State ceded to the Song State is a hundred miles, is it just given to the Song State?" ”

Chu King Mi Huai sneered: "My Chu State can change from a mere land to a big country with a radius of 5,000 miles, does it rely on credit?" No, we rely on the Chu people to be brave enough, and the sword in the hands of the Chu people is sharp enough! Only when it is time to talk about credit, will we in Chu State talk about credit. Once the benefits are big enough, then we must not hesitate to abandon credit! Moreover, do you really think that when my Chu State handed over the version of the Fuli Grassland to the Song State, it really ceded this place to them? My Chu State is strong, and the Song State is weak, and if we want to come back to that hundred miles of land, we can come back at any time! As for now, let's temporarily store it in the Song Kingdom! ”
