Qin State, Xianyang Palace, King Qin is discussing political affairs with his ministers.

"Prime Minister, can the six countries be safe recently?" King Qin asked seemingly nonchalantly.

Since the fiasco of Yewang and Yique, the king of Qin ordered to strengthen the collection of intelligence on the six kingdoms, and at the same time strictly investigate the truth of the assassination of the king of Yiqu. Gradually, South Korea surfaced. All the evidence points to South Korea in the Three Jin Dynasty, and the king of Yiqu is the first to stab, even if it is not done by South Korea, it is most likely that South Korea made suggestions.

It was precisely because of the accidental death of King Yiqu that Yiqu, who was originally at peace with the Qin State, made a big move and invaded the Guannei. The Qin State was caught off guard and could only give up the land outside the Guanxi in order to keep the foundation of the Guannei.

With such a big feud, Qin can only record it with South Korea first. As soon as the busy farming time passed, the Qin State was bound to find Han, Zhao, and Wei to settle the account.

"Returning to the king, the three kingdoms of Han, Zhao, and Wei have been busy strengthening the city defenses recently. In Shaanyi, Mianchi, Xin'an, Yiyang and other places facing Hangu Pass, Han and Wei have already stationed large armies. Along the east of the river, Zhao and Wei dug trenches all over the country, which should prevent our army from attacking across the river. The State of Qi has not moved since taking Tao County, the State of Chu is clearing the Southern Barbarians, and the State of Yan is the most quiet, but its Prime Minister Gongsun Cao has been going back and forth with the minister's mansion recently, which is quite abnormal. Wei Ran replied respectfully.

"Hmm!" King Qin tapped the book case with his index finger, and these situations were similar to his own understanding.

The minister of Chu and Yangling Junzhuang Xin felt that there was a lack of young people in the country, so the king of Chu captured the barbarians on the mountain, taught them farming, and at the same time expanded the source of soldiers. Now the state of Chu is busy going up the mountain to catch the game of savages.

King Qi and King Yan are still drunk and dreaming of death, ignoring political affairs. Of course, these two are not fools, and they will show up from time to time and issue some confused orders to prove that they are still the kings of a country.

Han, Zhao, and Wei seemed to know that it would not be long before they would send a large army to avenge this arrow. Therefore, it has been tight on the outside and loose on the inside, repairing the city defense within 300 miles of the border, digging moats, and transporting a large amount of grain, grass, and crossbow arrows.

"What about Handan? What was the reaction to the alliance between our Great Qin and the Yan Kingdom? King Qin asked.

"Zhao Guo's reaction is very strange, after the king of Zhao heard the news of our alliance, he sent Shangqing Lin Xiangru as an envoy to visit Zhao State, and after staying for three days, he returned to Handan with great satisfaction." Wei Ran replied cautiously.

According to the news of the Black Ice Terrace, the King of Qin knew that Lin Xiangru was just a pretentious gesture, and wanted to create a false appearance that Zhao and Yan were as friendly as before, so that Qin Guo was suspicious.

However, King Yan was really stupid, and when Lin Xiangru was both coercive and lured, he actually said that the alliance with the Qin State was just a last resort. He would never do anything that would damage the friendship of Zhao and Yan. Saying this not only offended the Qin State but also failed to please the Zhao State, the King of Qin really wanted to know what such a "wise" Yan Wang thought about his head. However, it doesn't matter if King Yan is so swaying, the back hand he left can play a role.

"It doesn't matter! Zhao Guo is just trying to stir up the relationship between our Great Qin and Yan Kingdom! Yan Guo will not have two hearts for my Great Qin. King Qin said lightly.

Wei Ran nodded yes, he knew that King Qin must have received reliable news from the Black Ice Platform and knew the content of the conversation between Lin Xiangru and King Yan.

King Qin inadvertently revealed this meaning to the ministers in the palace--- everything in the world is under his control, and the assassination of King Yiqu is just a small accident.

"Ladies and gentlemen, what else do you have to play?" King Qin glanced at his ministers and asked.

"Please play." In the imperial history, Cheng said.

"Oh? What did Wang Zhongcheng play? King Qin asked curiously.

All the ministers are in their hearts, and the imperial history is responsible for picketing hundreds of officials, I don't know which official hit the "big luck" and was caught by Wang Shen, I hope it will not be himself.

"Your servants have something to offer to the king."

After speaking, Yu Shi Zhongcheng took out an object wrapped in silk from his arms.

The eunuch order was carefully taken and unfolded, and when it was determined that there was no danger, it was presented to the king of Qin.

King Qin took a look, but he didn't find anything abnormal, so he asked, "What is this?" ”

"Back to the king, this thing is called paper, which is a new object in Xinzheng, and it is the most convenient to write. The king might as well give it a try. Yu Shi Zhongcheng said respectfully.

King Qin picked up the brush (note: Meng Tian improved the brush, not an invention) and gave it a try, and it was true. For those who are accustomed to bamboo slips, writing on paper is simply an extraordinary pleasure. Yes, it's enjoyment.

"This is a new Korean invention? How is it done? Does Wang Aiqing know? King Qin asked impatiently.

As the king of a country, he saw the huge benefits contained in it more than anyone else. The bamboo slips are too bulky and inconvenient to carry, and the silk books are too expensive, and the writing will seep out. If you replace them with paper, you can not only solve their defects perfectly, but also save a lot of time. You know, making bamboo slips is also a time-consuming and laborious thing.

"Your Majesty, this is the purchase of your courtier's doorman when he passed by Xinzheng, and the price of one is twenty yuan. However, according to the merchant, this is because it has just been launched, and the price will not exceed ten yuan a piece after I think it comes. This thing is the invention of the Korean prince, but it is mostly rumored, and the minister thinks it is not enough to believe. But how exactly how to make zuò, the subordinates came in a hurry and did not find out, and the subordinates did not know. ”

King Qin nodded, since he was sure that it was a product of Xinzheng, if he sent someone to investigate, he would definitely know how to produce it, which didn't matter.

"Come on, in the imperial history, King Shen has meritorious dedication to paper, and he will give 100 gold." King Qin laughed heartily and said.

"Minister, thank the king for Longen." Thanksgiving in the Imperial History.

"Prime Minister, you quickly send someone to Xinzheng and try your best to figure out how to make paper. If this is done, the widow will be rewarded. ”

As soon as one order was given, the King of Qin gave a second order.

"Whoa!" Prime Minister Wei Ran took the order and retreated.

"Zhong Aiqing, now is the busy season for farming. When the farming season is over next month, the widow wants to send 200,000 troops to recover the two counties of Hedong and Hexi. During this time, I hope that you will perform your duties and prepare for the departure of our army. ”

"Where is the history of Zhisu?" King Qin said.

"The minister is here!" A minister respectfully stood out.

"Within two months, you have to raise food and grass for the widow for three months' army of 200,000 people, this matter must be done, you know?" King Qin said undoubtedly.

"Obey orders!"

"Where is Daliangzao?" King Qin continued to roll call.

"The minister is here!" Wu Anjun bowed and stepped out of the ranks.

"The widow ordered you to make a plan, wait for the army to go out of the valley, and you must use the shortest time to regain the lost territory for the widow. The widow doesn't want anything like Yewang and Yique to happen again, do you understand? ”

Bai Qi replied with a straight face: "The minister's order! ”

……

Gongzishi quietly watched the King of Qin issue orders, from the internal history of the governor in charge of grain and grass to the Shaofu in charge of ordnance, from the general in charge of commanding the expedition in the court to the chief in charge of recruiting soldiers at the grassroots level, the king of Qin tirelessly announced orders or issued royal decrees.

Gongzi City knew that this would be a battle for King Qin to save face and prove the strength of the Qin State. If the Sanjin Dynasty is defeated, then the previous results will be gone forever, and there will be no choice but to cut the land and beg for mercy. If the Three Jin Dynasty win a big victory, then the Qin State will completely succumb to the Zhao State.

In this battle of national fortunes, King Qin was very confident. In such important matters, Gongzishi knew that his brother Wang would not give him much authority, so he did not take the initiative to ask for any important positions.

It's just that this time, what kind of chance does the Qin State have! Childe began to think about how to profit from this war.
