Chapter 7 and the Clan

The state of Chu was the largest country in the Warring States Period, with many mouths and amazing overall strength, and it was once pinned on high hopes by people that it was none other than Chu to unify the world.

It is precisely because of this amazing strength of the Chu State that the world is looking sideways, and the Chu State is striving to dominate the Central Plains, so that the Central Plains countries dare not take advantage of its edge. The most famous is the Battle of Chengpu of Duke Wen of Jin, which was a battle in which the Central Plains states resisted the attack of Chu.

The country of Qi is located on the coast of the East China Sea, and it has the benefit of fishing salt, "boiling the sea for salt", and its salt is the most in the world. It is precisely because of this convenience that the strength of the Qi State should not be underestimated.

The strength of the two great vassal states of Qi and Chu is amazing, and they are bordering, needless to say, the result is naturally to cause trouble, because "the side of the couch does not allow others to sleep soundly".

In this way, the two countries of Qi and Chu were caught in a war for hundreds of years, and at the first opportunity, they would fight. The most famous is that the two countries fought to the death for a piece of barren land, and there were countless casualties.

Among them, there is another famous example, that is, Zhang Yi deceived King Chu Huai, saying that you send troops to attack Qi, as long as you send troops, Qin State will give you 600 li of land. King Chu Huai, the pig-headed, listened to it, broke off relations with Qi State, and prepared to send troops to attack Qi, and fell into Zhang Yi's big dang.

Zhang Yi used the feud between Qi and Chu to deceive King Chu Huai.

At present, the national strength of the Qi State has declined greatly because of Le Yi's war against Qi, and it is no longer in its former glory. Moreover, the famous general Tian Dan passed away, and there was no general in the country, if the Chu State wanted to attack Qi, it would be a godsend.

Although Qin Yiren's lie is a crime, it is on the key point of the Qi State, and it will not be possible to win after the victory without being shocked.

Hou Sheng was already scared enough, but Qin Yiren still had to scare him again. I only listened to Qin Yidao: "Chun Shenjun asked Qin to divide the land." So lucrative. I was very impressed. ”

"Divide the land?" Hou Sheng was so frightened that he almost fainted. He took a strong breath, forced himself to calm down, and said, "Wang Taisun, you must not fall for Huang Xie, Huang Xie is not well-intentioned." Qi and Qin were far apart, and even if they broke through the Qi state, it would only be beneficial to Chu. Not good for Qin. Wei destroyed the Zhongshan Kingdom, but Zhao gained the land, which is the proof. ”

Wei used Le Yangzi to attack Zhongshan State, but because Zhongshan State and Wei State were far apart, Zhao State was cheapened in vain, and Zhao State won Zhongshan State without spending a single soldier, which is a famous example of the Warring States Period.

"The prime minister said that the Qin State should be 'distant friends and close attacks', and should not be enemies with Qi." Hou Sheng is a bit of a brain. I was able to find an explanation.

"What's so hard about that?" Although Hou Sheng's words were reasonable, it was difficult for Qin Yiren. I only heard Qin Yiren say lightly: "I agreed with Chun Shenjun that Chu will have Qi land, and Chu will cede the same size of land to Qin, which is two pennies." ”

Although the Qin state was far away from the Qi state, it bordered the Chu state, and the Qin state could benefit by exchanging land.

"This ......" after the victory is out of line, and I can no longer think of powerful words.

Huang Shigong looked at the stunned and helpless Hou Sheng in his eyes, and he was very disdainful in his heart, such an incompetent person is also worthy of being the prime minister of a country, and the day of the destruction of the Qi country is not far away.

"Don't worry too much, I haven't decided yet." Qin Yiren first used words to blow and then win, making him almost desperate, and then giving him a glimmer of hope.

Sure enough, when Hou Sheng heard this, his spirits were greatly lifted, and he hurriedly said: "The prince is wise, this matter must not be done." ”

"There is no need, only cost-effective and not cost-effective." Qin Yiren shook his head and said, "I think about it again, let's meet with the prime minister and see what kind of benefits the Qi State can give to Great Qin, and then make a decision." ”

"Be sure to give, be sure to give." Hou Sheng dared to say nothing, nodded hurriedly, and agreed vigorously.

He didn't ask Qin Yiren what kind of benefits he wanted, he was really impatient.

"If the State of Qi can't satisfy Great Qin, I can't say it, so I have to join forces with the State of Chu." Qin Yiren's words were full of threats.

"Must be satisfied, must be satisfied." Hou Sheng's head is faster than a chicken's head pecking rice.

"Dare to ask the Prime Minister, what benefits can Qi State give to Great Qin?" The words of intimidation have already taken effect, and Qin Yiren wants to benefit from the open fire.

"Daqi is willing to give Qin Jin 100,000 and 200,000 stone ...... grain" Hou Sheng hurriedly bid.

"Of course, gold is a good thing, and food is also good, but does Daqin lack this?" Qin Yiren was obviously dissatisfied.

The Qin State is rich and strong, well-known all over the world, although the money and food are good, the Qin State is not lacking, and Hou Sheng was stunned for a moment.

"Otherwise, give Daqin 100,000 stones." Qin Yiren Lion opened his mouth.

Qi is located on the coast of the East China Sea, boiled the sea for salt, was the main producer of salt at that time, and seven or eight out of ten salts in the Warring States Period came from Qi State. The Qin State was short of salt at that time, and as for the well salt from Zijia, Sichuan, it had not been discovered at that time. For salt, the Qin State is extremely in need, and what Qin Yiren is eyeing is the salt of the Qi State.

"Wang Taisun, is this too much?" Hou Sheng almost bit his tongue.

100,000 stone salt is much more expensive than 100,000 stone grain, and even Hou Sheng, who is not distressed by selling Yetian, is also a pain in the flesh.

"Do you want Qi or salt?" Qin Yiren is a naked threat.

Is this still a choice? Hou Sheng knew that he had no choice, so he gritted his teeth and said, "That's it, so be it." ”

One hundred thousand stone salt is already amazing, however, Qin Yiren is not satisfied, and increases the price: "This is not enough ......"

"Not enough?" Hou Sheng heard it in his ears and almost fell to the ground.

One hundred thousand stone salt, what an astonishing number, a huge fortune, Qin Yiren is not satisfied, this appetite is too big, right?

“…… In the future, all the salt that Daqin buys, you will have to sell it to Daqin at half price. Qin Yiren ignored him, and the words he said could scare people half to death.

At that time, salt was very valuable, and if the Qi State accepted it, the loss would be great. And the wealth of Qi is mainly supported by salt tax, which is a big loss for Qi State.

"Wang Taisun, you are too ruthless." Hou Sheng couldn't care less and screamed.

That's right, Qin Yiren's hand is too ruthless, so ruthless that people are speechless.

"If you agree, I have a plan, not only will I not let the Qi country suffer losses, but it will also benefit a lot." Qin Yiren smiled, as cunning as a fox.

"The salt sold to Daqin is half price, and the salt sold to other countries will not be sold to other countries, won't the price be increased?" Qin Yiren answered with a question.

"Markup?" Hou Sheng's eyes lit up. Enlightened.

"The salt of the world. Seven or eight out of ten are from the Qi country. It is sold to Daqin at half price, and if it is sold to other countries, the price will be raised. Like Yan and Chu, two countries that are hated by Qi, Qi can raise prices by three or two times, or even five or six times, or ten times. "Qin Yiren made a move.

The Yan State almost destroyed the Qi State, and the Qi State hated the Yan State; The state of Chu is the old enemy of the state of Qi, and the state of Qi also hates the state of Chu, if it is sold to these two countries for salt. The price increase is big, and no one dares to say a word.

"Good! Good! Good! Hou Sheng's eyes lit up, and he was very happy.

"However, if the two countries of Yan and Chu collude together to deal with Great Qi, how can this be good?" Hou Sheng is not without concerns.

"What's so hard about that?" Qin Yiren was indifferent, he didn't take it to heart at all, and said with a smile: "Great Qin can be a brotherly state with the Qi State, and the affairs of the Qi State in the future will be the affairs of the Great Qin, as long as the Great Qin supports the Qi State." Yan and Chu dare to say a word? ”

Qin is the strongest warring state, if it can get the support of Qin. Even if the two countries of Yan and Chu are dissatisfied, they are also helpless to Qi State. Hou Sheng couldn't help but be overjoyed, and nodded heavily: "Thank you, the grandson of the king!" Thank you, the grandson of the king! ”

"Of course, if Qi Guo gave the salt tax to Daqin for two percent, this matter would be easier to handle, and no one would dare to touch Daqin's tiger whiskers." Qin Yiren's appetite is too big, and he is not satisfied with so many benefits.

"I finally understand why Xinlingjun and Pingyuanjun are always unlucky, and the prince is born to make good fortune." Huang Shigong shook his head vigorously, muttering in his heart, Qin Yiren's appetite was so big that people were speechless.

"Very good! Very good! Hou Sheng didn't think about it, and agreed in one bite.

Qin Yiren just set up a wine banquet and drank a meal with Hou Sheng, and he got so many benefits, it was amazing.

Under the strategy of Qin Yiren, with the help of Fan Sui and Le Yi, Qin took advantage of the opportunity of the envoys from various countries to come to Xianyang this time, and reaped the benefits and made a lot of money.

After the benefits were enough, Qin Yiren continued to deal with state affairs, and life returned to normal.

After a while, a powerful news came, and the envoy of Zhao State, Lin Xiangru, came to Xianyang with He's Bi.

"He's Bi?" After Qin Yiren got the report, he jumped up, and his eyes were shining.

"He's Bi?" Huang Shigong and Han Fei were also surprised by Mo Ming, and the light in their eyes flashed.

He's Bi is famous, famous through the ages, and has staged one legend after another for He's Bi. Now, Lin Xiangru came to Xianyang with He's Bi, which is a big deal.

Qin Yiren didn't say a word, and immediately rushed into the palace to see King Qin Zhao. As soon as I entered the palace, I heard King Qin Zhao shouting: "Quick, quick, call Lin Xiangru." ”

For the sake of harmony, King Qin Zhao was humiliated, and he was tricked by the little-known Lin Xiangru, so there was an allusion to "return to Zhao after completion". Now, at first glance, Lin Xiangru has arrived in Xianyang with He's Bi, and he can't do it if he is not in a hurry.

Lin Xiangru was escorted in by the Iron Eagle Ruishi like a prisoner, King Qin Zhao's eyes were as wide as copper bells, staring at Lin Xiangru, his white beard was curled, and the shame of the past came to his heart, and he couldn't wait to tear Lin Xiangru and eat it.

Lin Xiangru did not have the slightest fear, and came high-spirited, this is his bearing. Back then, when he was still a little-known nobody, he was ordered to bring the He clan to meet King Qin Zhao, and he did not scare King Qin Zhao, and now he will not be afraid.

"Good bearing!" Qin Yiren saw it in his eyes and praised Lin Xiangru's style and bones.

Tie Ying Ruishi held a gold-painted box and presented it to King Qin Zhao, inside which was the Heshi Bi.

King Qin Zhao didn't even look at it, and with a wave of his hand, the Iron Eagle Ruishi hurriedly took He's Bi away.

"Lin Xiangru, Lin Xiangru, you finally fell into the hands of the widow, what else do you have to say?" King Qin Zhao's eyes were about to erupt with fire.

King Qin Zhao looked at the world majestically, and when he mentioned the land of Shandong, he would be frightened. However, there is a lingering shame in his life, and this shame is what Lin Xiangru left him.

King Qin Zhao wanted to get peace, but Lin Xiangru staged a scene of "returning to Zhao after completion", which made his plan fail.

This thing can be endured, and the most unbearable thing is that at the meeting of Michi, Lin Xiangru forced King Qin Zhao to knock on the basin. What a shame is it that the king of a country was forced to be helpless and had to knock on the basin?

At first glance, seeing Lin Xiangru as this enemy, King Qin Zhao only felt that he and his family were no longer important, and the shame was the most important. (To be continued......)
