King Qin looked at the reply sent by the envoy sent to Yan and smiled proudly.

As soon as King Yan Hui died like this, all the troubles were solved. Concubine Rong is just a slightly beautiful woman, and she has no scheming at all. The new King Yan is just a child, and he is not at the mercy of Gongsun Cao! At this time, the Yan State was completely put on the chariot of the Qin State.

"Prime Minister, how is the matter of paper and cement?" King Qin came back to his senses, looked at Wei Ran and asked.

Wei Ran's expression tightened, originally thinking that he could excuse himself while King Qin was happy. I didn't expect King Qin to attach so much importance to this matter, and he kept an eye on it. It's all South Korea's fault, nothing to invent paper! After the invention of paper, what kind of cement are you doing! It's so tightly hidden that no one else knows!

"The minister is incompetent, South Korea set up cement and paper workshops outside Xinzheng City, and also sent a large army to guard it. The minister sent more than a dozen groups of people, but they couldn't figure out the whole process. Wei Ran looked sincerely frightened.

King Qin's face changed, and he said: "Now the whole world knows that Korea invented paper and cement, and the prime minister also knows the benefits of paper for writing. The price of five cents per piece of paper must be very profitable. However, the widow is more optimistic about cement, and now the road built by South Korea with cement has greatly admired all countries in the world. And not only that, cement can also be used to quickly build field fortifications, which can be described as a national weapon. South Korea is now only willing to trade horses and grain for cement, what is the intention, can't the prime minister see it? ”

"Panic!" Wei Ran pleaded guilty.

"Get up, Prime Minister! Now Zhao and Wei have exchanged war horses and grain for a large amount of cement. The widow is unwilling to subsidize South Korea with these strategic materials, so he has not purchased cement from South Korea. The prime minister will think of a way again, and if it doesn't work, he will find someone to get in. In short, the widow must get the method of making cement and paper. "What King Qin said was loud.

"Your Majesty, Korea has set up a special place called Hanyi, and all the craftsmen are gathered in it. Hanyi was heavily guarded, and no one was allowed to enter or leave. Even in order to expand production, newly recruited craftsmen must be guaranteed by more than 10 households before they can enter and study. Once inside, the whole family has to move into Hanyi. The minister also sent people to infiltrate Hanyi, but it was turned into countless small areas, and anyone who trespassed into other areas for no reason would be shot! Outside the workshop, there is a five-step, one-post, ten-step, and one-sentry, and there is no entry and exit permit, and there is no acquaintance together, so you can't enter at all. Wei Ran cautiously explained.

"Is it really that strict?" King Qin asked with some disbelieving.

If it is really like what Wei Ran said, the previous methods of the Qin State have lost their effect. The craftsmen's families are all in the city, and they can't be used to blackmail the craftsmen. The whole process of manufacturing cement and paper is divided into countless small links, and each person is only responsible for one of them. Even an assassin who is proficient in disguise would not be able to accomplish such a difficult task.

"The minister doesn't dare to bully the king!" Wei Ran Zhengse said.

King Qin subconsciously scratched his temples and said slowly: "Since this is the case, then slowly infiltrate!" There is no impermeable wall in the world, and no matter how tightly guarded the Hanyi is, there are times when they are lax. ”

In fact, King Qin still had a mind that he didn't say. That is, in the next counterattack, as long as South Korea is defeated, there is no worry that they will not obediently hand over the method of manufacturing paper and cement.

Qi country, Linzi.

The news of King Yan Hui's death made King Qi happy for a long time. A few years ago, Yan joined forces with Han, Zhao, Wei, and Qin to attack Qi, how majestic it was! Who would have expected that five years later, King Yan Zhao would hang up, and the newly established King Yan Hui would change his generals, and the Yan army would be defeated. After another seven years, King Yan Hui followed in the footsteps of King Yan Zhao and returned with a crane.

"God bless the country! Today's King Yan is just a stinky hairy boy who doesn't know how to govern the country at all. Since then, the country of Qi has no trouble in the north. King Qi thought happily.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Why did you summon your ministers? ”

Prime Minister Tian Shan looked at King Qi who was laughing stupidly, and asked suspiciously.

Only then did King Qi come back to his senses, and said with a smile: "That's the case, Prime Minister." The widow heard that the king of Yan Kingdom is newly mourned, and the new monarch is young, do you think we can attack the country of Yan and make some gains? ”

Listening to King Qi's straightforward words, Tian Dan only felt a headache. King Qi's greedy temperament just can't be changed! I just swallowed half of Tao County, and I want to go north to cut Yan, is Yan so easy to cut down?

"I think this matter is inappropriate!" Tian Dan said patiently.

King Qi was very surprised when he heard this, he still counted on Tian Dan, a famous general, to defeat Yan Guo again! After all, if he was in command of someone else, King Qi was not at ease. Unexpectedly, Tian Dan actually opposed the dispatch of troops.

"Prime Minister, why is this?"

"The monarch of the Yan State is not fake, but the Yan State has an army of 400,000, while my Qi State only has 300,000. The most that can go north is no more than 200,000. If our Qi country goes north to attack Yan at this time, it will only anger the Yan country and make it unite and hate the same enemy. Even if our army wins, it will be a miserable victory, and the gains outweigh the losses! Tian Dan explained.

"That's it!" King Qi was a little suddenly enlightened.

But King Qi's next sentence made Tian Dan's heart hang again, "Then we might as well join forces with Zhao and Wei!" In this way, the forces will be superior. ”

Tian Dan couldn't cry or laugh, so he could only explain again: "Your Majesty, the Yan State is now an ally of the Qin State. The last attack on Tao County had already offended the Qin State, and if it attacked the Yan State again this time, it would completely offend the Qin State. Once the Yan State is destroyed, the Zhao State will occupy most of the north. Condescending, this is a form of victory, once the Zhao State goes south, the first to bear the brunt is our Qi State. It's better to keep the Yan Kingdom, so that my Qi Kingdom can also be left and right. ”

King Qi understood this time, although Yan was a mortal enemy of Qi. But at present, the national strength of Qi has not yet been restored, and even if Zhao and Wei are united to take Yan, the biggest benefit will be Zhao. Therefore, it is better to leave Yan Guo to contain Zhao Guo.

After figuring out this truth, King Qi had to nod and said, "Then the widow will follow the prime minister's opinion!" ”

Sinjeong, South Korea. The crown prince was talking to Fan Sui about the Yan Kingdom.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, the death of King Yan Hui is too strange, and the ministers think that most of them are Gongsun Cao who killed the king, and wants to emulate the Qi Guotian clan and do things on behalf of Yan."

The crown prince nodded, in the original history, King Yan died suddenly a year later. Later historians believe that it is very likely that Gongsun Cao killed the king, but the reason for the killing of the king is different. Wang Ziran still agrees with what Fan Sui said.

"In my opinion, is it profitable for us in South Korea? The new monarch of Yan Kingdom is young, and the one who is in power, Gongsun Caoye! I heard that Gongsun this person, and he didn't have any ability. There is also a faction in the Yan State that supports the succession of the eldest son, Gongzi Xin, which is an internal trouble. If you send troops to attack Yan, you should have a great chance of winning! Wang Ziran analyzed.

The crown prince remembered very well that in history, after Gongsun Cao killed the king, the three kingdoms of Han, Wei, and Chu attacked Han and won a great victory. The reason why Zhao did not participate was because Su Dai lobbied the king of Zhao and told him that "the snipe and the clam compete, and the fisherman profits". King Zhao was worried that Qin Guozhen had become that fisherman, so he did not participate in the felling of Yan.

"Yan Guo does not follow the etiquette system, and the son of the concubine (note: Fan Sui thinks that the son is born as a concubine, then he will be a concubine for life) to inherit the throne, if Korea is a crusade, the eldest son of King Yanhui will be the king, and the name of benevolence and righteousness will be widely spread, which is also its name! At present, South Korea is most short of horses, and Yan is a country rich in good horses. Fan Sui analyzed.

"Then according to Mr.'s opinion, unite Zhao and Wei to crusade against Yan State!" The prince stroked his palms and laughed.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, in order to be famous, it is better to ask Zhou Tianzi for advice, and you can get the name of loyalty and righteousness." Fan Sui continued.

"Zhou Tianzi?" The prince smiled and had a clever plan!
