In 270 BC, the Qin army crossed Korea to attack the state of Zhao, and was defeated by the Zhao general Zhao Hao (Zhao Kuo's father). In 262 B.C., the Qin State attacked and occupied the Yewang of Korea, which is in the shape of an hourglass on the map, with large north and south ends, but a thin waist in the middle, and the position of the thin waist is the Yewang! Therefore, Yewang is the most important city connecting the two parts of Korea north and south of the Yellow River! The occupation of Yewang is equivalent to completely cutting off the connection between Sangdang County and the mainland of Korea, and cutting off the north and south of Korea's territory into two pieces!

After the Qin army occupied Yewang, King Han Huanhui, out of helplessness, asked Feng Ting, the county guard of Shangdang County, to dedicate Shangdang County to Qin, so that Qin would rest its army. However, Feng Ting was unwilling to surrender to Qin, and after plotting with the people of Shangdang County, he decided to use the power of Zhao to resist Qin, and instead dedicated the seventeen cities of Shangdang County to Zhao State!

This really ignited the powder keg, Qin State would never allow Shangdang County to be obtained by Zhao State, and Zhao State also had to accept Shangdang County offered by Feng Ting, because Zhao State didn't want it, Qin State took it, which Zhao State absolutely could not tolerate!

Qin has the heart to destroy Zhao, does Zhao not have the ambition to destroy Qin? Both Qin and Zhao want to destroy each other, and there is only one springboard that can directly kill each other - that is, South Korea's Shangdang region, so South Korea's Shangdang region is not only a strategic point, but also a guarantee of the national security of the two countries! If the Sangdang region is in the hands of South Korea, the two countries will be safe, but if either of them occupies the Sangdang region of South Korea, the other country will inevitably raise troops to grab it!

From this point of view, the battle of Changping seems to be a decisive battle that happened by chance, but it is actually a decisive battle that will inevitably happen, in fact, anyone in the position of King Zhao at that time had to accept the Shangdang County offered by Feng Ting!

It's a pity that Zhao Guo accepted the Shangdang County offered by Feng Ting, but he didn't realize the seriousness of the matter! They thought of the benefits of occupying Shangdang County in South Korea, but they did not estimate the fierce counterattack of Qin State after occupying Shangdang County - Qin State sent as many as 500,000 troops at the beginning, and on the contrary, Zhao State's troops deployed in this area were only 50,000 people! If Zhao Guo had deployed heavy troops in South Korea at the beginning, then the Qin army would definitely not have fought so smoothly in the early stage, and the outcome of the war could have changed!

But history is history, and there are no ifs. In the First Battle of Changping, Zhao not only was strategically unprepared, but also lacked enough food, but tactically he also fell into Qin's discordant plan, replacing the old and serious Lian Po with the young and impulsive Zhao Kuo. A battle made Zhao lose cleanly, lost all the capital, and the elite soldiers trained since the beginning of King Zhao Wuling were destroyed, and they lost the capital to fight for the world!

Qi Fang was obviously very satisfied with Qi Ting's answer, and patted Qi Ting's shoulder with great relief, and said with a smile: "Well, that's a good point, it seems that the art of war and the examples handed over to you have been carefully read!" ”

Qi Ting said a little embarrassedly: "Father, you want to test me, go back and take the test again, let's have a family meeting now!" ”

"Haha!" Qi Fang smiled embarrassedly, nodded again and again: "What Ting'er said makes sense, big brother, the old rules, start with you first!" With that, the two of them stepped out of the way.

Seeing this, Qi Jing couldn't help but laugh, quickly cleared his throat and walked to the map.

The room had a wooden floor and a lot of cushions on the floor, and by this time the others had already sat down around the central table, all looking at Qi Jing.

Qi Jing said: "At present, the Qi family's biggest business is still selling salt, and this is also our Qi family's only business in Qi Guoming. In the countries of Qi, Zhao, Wei, Korea, Wei, Lu, and Chu, there are salt shops of the Qi family, among which the salt industry of Qi and Lu is basically controlled by our Qi family; The major cities of Wei, Wei, and Chu also have Qi salt shops; However, there are relatively few Qijia salt shops in Zhao and South Korea, and the Korean market is just opened up......"

Lu Yunzhou opened his mouth wide, and his heart was shocked inexplicably, selling salt has been the most profitable industry since ancient times! During the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, due to the lack of financial resources of the imperial court due to the army's continuous expeditions, the salt industry began to be nationalized, and since then all dynasties have been monopolized by the government. This is the wealth that even the wealthy feudal rulers of the past generations will salivate and can't help but hold in their hands! The Qi family was not only able to spread salt to so many countries, but even in Qi and Lu, it also reached the point of monopolizing the market!

So how rich is the Qi family?

No, it's not just a matter of wealth, salt is an indispensable thing in life, and once you monopolize the salt market, you can achieve a certain degree of political control over the country!

Is this just the Qi family's business in Qi Guoming?

Lu Yunzhou blinked, and only then did he seem to realize that he was not only a second-generation official in this life, but also a second-generation extremely rich!

"No, it's not the money society of the future! What is the use of having money in the era of cold weapons? If you don't have the strength to defend it, even if it is as strong as the six eastern countries, it is not to be destroyed by the Qin State one by one......"

Lu Yunzhou sighed secretly, and quickly calmed down, no matter what, it is better to have money than no money, and the Qi family has money, not to mention, there are soldiers, although the face of the Qin State is still a grasshopper shaking the tree, but--

"Isn't there still me! Anyway, I'm also a modern person, this start, I'm already a RMB player, haha! And--"

It is not surprising that the Qi family, as a wealthy family of the Qi State, can monopolize the salt industry of the Qi State, but the strange thing is that how can the salt industry of the Lu State be monopolized by the family of the Qi State?

Lu Yunzhou's eyes were on the map in front of him, the location of Lu Guo!

I only heard Qi Jing continue: "In addition to selling salt, we have run cloth villages in all the major cities of Chu State; We have also started to acquire various pastures and mines in Lu country. The focus of the next operation is to develop animal husbandry and iron smelting industry in Lu, and I will personally preside over it; The second is the salt shop in various countries, this aspect is already very familiar to the people under my hands, just need to follow the original steps to develop, the Korean market has just opened, I will send floaters to win the past......"

Lu Yunzhou remembered what Qi Min told him before, after the Lai Kingdom was destroyed by the Qi State, the youngest son of the last Laihou, Lai Furou, who served as a co-worker of the Lai Kingdom, fled to the Tang State and went incognito.

From this point of view, this floating Zisheng should be a Donglai person, otherwise it would be impossible for Uncle Qi Jing to trust him so much!

“…… It's the cloth village of Chu again, I'll send Qi Xun to keep an eye on it, and finally--"

Qi Jing set his eyes on Lu Yunzhou, rubbed his hands, and said with a smile: "Yu'er, on the way back to Linzi, Uncle kept hearing people talk about it--the cooking skills of the three sons of the Qi family are unparalleled in the world, creating a delicacy that is rare in the sky and unique on the earth, comparable to phoenix marrow and dragon liver!" This delicacy makes those who see it look forward to it, make those who smell it salivate, let those who hear it move their index fingers, and let those who taste it have an endless aftertaste! Qi Jing's face showed a look of yearning.

Lu Yunzhou blinked, and he realized that Uncle Qi Jing actually had the talent to be a joker!

Qi Jing smiled and said, "Yu'er, can I taste these legendary delicacies in person?" If I could, I'd like to open a restaurant! ”

Lu Yunzhou stretched out his thumb in admiration, and couldn't help laughing: "Uncle, good idea, I support you!" ”

I thought you were just a businessman, but it turns out that you are still a foodie!

I thought you were a foodie, but it turned out that you were just pretending to be a foodie and playing treasure!

I thought you were playing tricks, but it turned out that you were serious with me!

You are a businessman, you can find business opportunities anywhere!

Lu Yunzhou originally had plans to open a restaurant, so he trained a lot of cooks, and he originally planned to hand over the restaurant to Lanshiqi to operate.

But now he found that handing it over to Qi Jing was the best choice!

After all, the Qi family already has a ready-made business empire and a mature and complete business system, so it is really unnecessary for him to leave the family and open a restaurant to make a little money by himself!

The resources within the Qi family are shared, and Lu Yunzhou has now determined that unless he wants to support a country, as long as the Qi family's business empire does not fall, he will no longer be short of money to spend in this life!

Of course, how could Lu Yunzhou spend money to do things that were not good for him, and he was not stupid!

Qi Min looked at Qi Jing helplessly: "Big brother, all the cooks in the Qi family have learned this new cooking skill, it's very simple if you want to open a restaurant, just bring a few cooks there!" ”

Qi Jing's eyes lit up, and he said happily: "That's really good, I didn't expect you to be prepared, second brother, you really know me so well!" ”

Lu Yunzhou said with a smile: "Uncle, where do you plan to open the restaurant?" ”

Qi Jing smiled happily when he heard this: "This question is a good question, I have already thought about it, first of all, Linzi must open one, and it will be opened in the center of small Linzi, the most lively and prosperous street." Then the major cities of Qi and the capital of Qi Wudu will also be opened! Finally, since I am mainly in Lu this year, the main cities of Qufu, Feiyi, Yicheng, Yincheng, Zhangcheng, Wuyang, Wucheng, Lanling, and Yinping in Lu will definitely be opened one by one! Of course, you have to take your time, in two or three years, open in these places first, and then think about others! ”

Lu Yunzhou admired in his heart, he deserves to be a big salt businessman, he has sufficient funds, and he is so confident in opening up new industries!

Qi Min frowned and said, "Big brother, opening a restaurant in Qi Country can't get around the Zhongsun family!" Moreover, the growth of the Qi family's industry will make the king more vigilant against us, Tian Xiang is afraid and will not allow it, in the face of the Lai people, the king and Tian Xiang have always been the same, they don't want to see our Lai people rise! The Qi people are currently able to accept the Qi family's control of the Qi country's salt industry, but I'm afraid it's already the limit! I think that we still don't want to make extraneous branches, and there is no problem in developing any industry in foreign countries, but in the country of Qi, our Qi family does not have the strength to confront Tian Xiang and the king for the time being, so let's only sell salt for the time being! ”

"This ......" Qi Jing pondered for a while, then sighed and said: "I'm sorry, second brother, is it that the eldest brother thinks too simply, or is it thoughtful, the Qi family is really not suitable for being too early in the Qi country, so the industry of the Qi country should remain the same." ”

"Uncle, father!" Lu Yunzhou suddenly said: "I may have a way to make Tian Xiang, the Great King and the other families of the Qi Kingdom not only not mind our Qi family opening a restaurant, but will vigorously support it!" ”
