Moreover, it is impossible for the two of them to leave Zhao State and move to other countries with such a large family property.

Zhao Kuo was able to treat them in such a benevolent way, which was beyond his expectations, and he was afraid that any monarch would be ruthless.

For Zhuo Su, the important thing is not money, no matter how much money he has, he is just a businessman, he will never become a nobleman, let alone have a fief.

But from the three places in Handan Academy, he saw the hope of Zhuo's family becoming a nobleman.

"That's what Brother Zhuo said."

Guo Zong suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, he only thought of bargaining and striving for more benefits, but he forgot what Zhao Kuo started with.

As a monarch who once commanded the Three Kingdoms Alliance to defeat the Qin State, and then repelled the Five Kingdoms by himself, will he be afraid of them?

If you can't move, you are weak, and if you don't want to move, you are kind.

"I heard that a few years ago, there was a merchant in Handan, who learned that the Qin king Sun Yiren was a hostage in Handan, and thought that he was a strange thing to live in, so he did his best to help him return to China, and successfully became the prince of Qin."

"Now that merchant has followed Yiren into Qin, has become the guest of the King of Qin, and may even rule the Qin State in the future. That businessman is gambling on himself, we are just a foreign wealth, are we not even as good as a small businessman? ”

Zhuo Su said slowly.

It is impossible for the Zhuo family to be like Lu Buwei, but if they can hug Zhao Kuo's thigh in time, the future will definitely be more promising than the present.

"Brother Zhuo's words are like Huang Zhong Dalu waking up the foolish brother, I will sell some family property and raise enough 5,000 gold to give to the king. If you lose the bet, you will only lose something outside of your body. If I win the bet, my Guo family may become a nobleman, or even a marquis. ”

Guo Zong clasped his hands into fists and said solemnly.

If it weren't for the fact that he had bought a lot of furniture and pen, ink, paper, and inkstone during this time, and spent too much money, he would have been able to take out even more, not including farmland and houses.

The wealth of the Guo family is comparable to that of the country.

"Since Brother Guo has decided, the younger brother will stay soon." Zhuo Su arched his hand, got up and walked out of the hall.

"I'll send Brother Zhuo." Guo Zong said gratefully.

"For the sake of Brother Guo's such a frank face, the younger brother has a message for Brother Guo." Guo Zong sent Zhuo Su to the door, and Zhuo Su suddenly turned around and said.

"Brother Zhuo, please speak." Guo Zong gave a salute.

"The king is a man who will repay his vengeance, and he will repay his kindness. As long as we follow him closely, he will never treat us badly, and today's investment will be returned tenfold and hundredfold in the future. But...... Chickens can't be put in one basket, Qi Di Feng Tan once said to Meng Weijun: 'The cunning rabbit has three holes, but it can only be saved from dead ears'. I think so. ”

After speaking, Zhuo Su gave up his hand and left.

……

The Land of Ouyue.

After more than a month of arduous searching, Lü Buwei finally found the remnants of the Yue royal family in a mountain in Ouyue, and persuaded the Yue State to defect to the Qin State with his incorruptible tongue.

"King, we have already promised the Zhao State, why do we want to take refuge in the Qin State again?" The minister asked puzzled.

Although the capital of the country was occupied by the Chu State and the country had been destroyed, the Yue State still retained the previous system.

They firmly believe that one day they will be like their ancestor Gou Jian and rejuvenate the Yue Kingdom.

It's a pity that they aim at Goujian, but they don't have the wisdom and efforts of Goujian.

The remaining more than 100,000 remnants are still divided into several forces, loyal to different royal descendants, no one obeys anyone, and will only unite in the face of the invasion of the Chu State and the natives in the mountains.

"The weapons of the Zhao State and the armor of the Qin State are all we need." King Yue said in a deep voice.

"But Zhao and Qin are mortal enemies, will we offend the two countries by doing this?" The minister said worriedly.

Even in the southeast, they knew that a years-long war had broken out between Qin and Zhao, with heavy casualties on both sides.

The enemies of the Yue State already have the Chu State, and if they offend the two strongest countries in the world, they will really have no place to die.

"Don't worry, the Qin State is in the westernmost part, the Zhao State is in the northernmost part, and the two countries are thousands of miles away from our Yue State, and they can't threaten us. As long as Zhao Guo still wants to recruit crew members from us, and Qin State still wants us to help them attract Chu State, he will turn a blind eye. King Yue said.

The level of the king of Yue naturally cannot be compared with Gou Jian, but he can lead the remnants of the Yue country to kill the natives in the mountains, grab a piece of territory, and repeatedly escape from the encirclement and suppression of the Chu State, and subdue his brothers to become the king of Yue, how can it be easy.

I have long been familiar with these things, and the Yue State and the Qin State and the Zhao State are originally cooperative relations, each holding what it needs, and it is not a courtier of the two countries, even if it is known by the other party?

And if he doesn't seize this opportunity, his younger brothers will seize this opportunity to cooperate with Qin or Zhao, and when the time comes, it is not certain whether he, the king of Yue, can be stable.

"Zhao and Qin are really rich." The minister said enviously.

As early as a month ago, some Zhao people approached them and asked them if they had the technology to build sea ships and could pay some price in exchange.

The Yue people do have the sea ship making technology that Zhao needs, and there are more than a dozen sea ships left over from decades ago, and now the Yue State is no longer there, and they have just been defeated by the Chu State, and their strength has been greatly damaged, and they do not plan to hold these things and wait for death, so they agreed to sell them to Zhao State, but the price will be negotiated.

Huiji was far away from Zhao State, and it was too much time to go back and forth, so after discussing with Qing Qin, Qing She decided to exchange 3,000 gold, plus 10,000 spears and 10,000 Changge for Yue Guo's shipbuilding technology and ten sea ships.

Then he bought two hundred shipwrights and five hundred sailors for two gold each.

It's not that Zhao doesn't want to buy more, but there are not so many people in Yue.

If it is the Yue Kingdom at its peak, not to mention only 200 craftsmen, even 2,000 can be taken.

Unfortunately, that was only once......

After the two sides discussed, the Yue people immediately took Qingshe and Qing Qin to the sea to receive the sea ships, along with two hundred shipwrights and five hundred sailors.

As soon as the two left, Lü Buwei came to him.

The process of convincing the Yue King was simple, as long as the Yue people did not want to stay in the mountains forever, they could only unite with the Qin State, even if he knew that he would be used by the Qin State.

This is a naked conspiracy.

Lü Buwei promised to provide 10,000 armor clothes to Yue Guo, of course, it was just that the Qin army was wearing old clothes, and if he wanted new and more armor, Yue Guo would have to spend money to buy them.

After all, Qin helped Yue Guo to stab Chu Guo in the back, not to do charity.

Moreover, the Qin State is not rich now, and 10,000 armor clothes are already beyond Lü Buwei, but he believes that the King of Qin will agree.

In addition, Lü Buwei also promised the king of Yue that the Qin state could also send a general to help the Yue state train the army, but the king of Yue refused, he did not want his army to be controlled by the Qin state.

"It won't be long before we can re-establish our country and announce our existence to the world." King Yue said confidently.

When the supplies of Zhao and Qin arrived, he could train elite soldiers, take all the Yue people in his hands, seize the indigenous territory, wait for the world to change, raise troops to attack Jiangdong, and rebuild the Yue country.
