The reason why the price of horses rose to such a high level was that Zhao Guo had to carry at least ninety percent of the pot, first tempted Han and Wei with cavalry, and helped the two countries train cavalry.

Then the roads and gates were blocked, the war horses were forbidden to go south, and the war horses were secretly purchased to speculate on the price of horses, otherwise the countries of the Central Plains would not be so short of horses.

However, Zhao Guo is still very conscientious, but he only raised the price of horses, and did not raise the price of grain and salt, which harmed the interests of the Central Plains countries and nobles, and the impact on ordinary Qianshou cloth clothes was not very great, after all, these people could not afford to buy horses.

Of course, it would be another matter if countries raised taxes as a result, increased the burden on the common people, and shifted the contradictions.

As for the enemy, Zhao Guo is not worried. Not to mention that the horses sold are castrated horses, or even stallions, although these horses are extremely strong, and the quality of the foals born is relatively good, but after two or three generations, the quality begins to plummet, and finally the horses are gone.

If countries want to maintain the strength of cavalry, they can only continue to buy horses from Zhao and transfuse blood for Zhao.

Wei Guo didn't know that Zhao Guo's horses were too many to sell out, otherwise he would definitely not be in a hurry, but chose to talk to Zhao Guo slowly, even if it took a month or two, it would not be a problem.

To be honest, now Zhao Guo is actually quite anxious, after there are more horses, I don't know if it is because of poor management or epidemics, the proportion of deaths has increased significantly, and there are 10,000 or 20,000 people who die every day.

Selling earlier will not only make more money, but also reduce the proportion of deaths.

But Wei Guo didn't know this now, and when he heard Lu Zhonglian's words, he suddenly became anxious.

But no one dared to call the shots on such a big matter, everyone looked at King Wei, but King Wei turned his head to look at Fan Zuo.

Fan Zuo sighed, at this time, he didn't say anything against it was in agreement, but King Wei himself didn't speak, let him speak.

Pretend not to see it, offend King Wei. Nodding in agreement, offending the Wei bureaucrats.

Hey, aren't the courtiers the ones who take the blame for the monarch?

"Sir must have estimated the benefits of the chasm, ten years is too long, and the time that my Wei State can accept is five years at most." Fan Zuo said.

"If you only count the benefits, it will indeed be long, but Taifu don't forget, this move is a certain risk for my Zhao State, and the Wei State can get benefits in the future." Lu Zhonglian said.

Fan Zuo glanced at King Wei, and saw that the other party still had no intention of speaking, neither agreeing nor disagreeing, and the wrinkles on his face were a few more, like the bark of an old pine tree.

"I, Wei Guo, can agree, but the handover procedures are a little troublesome, why don't we officially hand over the jurisdiction of the chasm to Zhao State from the first month of next year, how about it?" Fan Zuo said helplessly.

"Yes, after signing, I, the Zhao Congress, will immediately arrange personnel, and I will be able to send the war horse to the Wei State next month." Lu Zhonglian nodded.

"Thank you." Fan Zao arched his hand.

"Win-win cooperation, come, let's drink this cup." Zhao Kuo saw that he was almost done, stood up at the right time, and said loudly with a wine glass.

Everyone stood up, the difference was that Zhao Guowen and Wu all smiled and drank it all. And Wei Guowenwu's face was a little not good-looking, even the wine seemed to be bitter, and the joy of just escaping the catastrophe disappeared.

For the state of Zhao, the state of Wei is both love and hate.

Love is because Zhao Guo is indeed helping Wei State, without any perfunctory, if you only compare it with yourself, the national strength of Wei State now is definitely much more than Wei State two years ago.

Hate because every time Zhao Guo helps Wei Guo, he has to cut a piece of flesh on Wei Guo, Wei's strength is indeed increasing, but the gap with Zhao is getting bigger and bigger.

Zhao Kuo glanced at the King of Wei, in fact, he had planned to sell some farming cattle to the Wei State, and if he could, there were sheep, salted fish, etc., but at present, it seemed that the Wei State really couldn't squeeze anything.

You can't let Wei use minerals to pay off debts, although it's not impossible, but mining requires a lot of people, and those captives can barely manage in Zhao State, and it is a bit difficult to put them in Wei State.

And Zhao Guo is not short of mines, what is lacking is finished products.

"Let's find a way to sell it to the three kingdoms of Qi, Chu and Han after we go back." Zhao Guo thought in his heart.

The Three Kingdoms did not experience a major war this year, and the Three Kingdoms invaded Qin, Chu and Korea only rubbed outside, and were later defeated by Qin, and the losses were not much, and the situation was far better than that of Wei.

In particular, the states of Chu and Qi were both large grain producers, and with their help, the state of Zhao had food to feed hundreds of thousands of captives.

If you want to get the captives to work, it is impossible to go without food.

Even if Zhao increased grain production and reclaimed wasteland, it would be difficult to feed hundreds of thousands of prisoners, not to mention that there were more than 100,000 soldiers who had lost production, and the grain and grass accumulated before were completely insufficient.

Although Libei asked some of the captives to reclaim the wasteland and grow grain, it was at least the third year before he could barely break even, and the harvested grain could feed all the captives, and the deficit during this period had to be filled by Zhao State.

This pit is still relatively large, after all, the number of people is a bit large. But the benefits are also huge, and the benefits created by hundreds of thousands of people are more than just this bit of food.

This is also the reason why the ministers of Zhao State did not object, otherwise according to the previous custom, they would have beheaded Zhujingguan a long time ago.

After this, most of the people's interest in drinking was gone, and it was not long before the feast ended.

Back at his residence, Zhao Kuo called Le Cheng and Ji Xin to understand what had happened during this time.

"What are the losses of our army?" Zhao Kuo was the first to ask about drama Xin.

"King Yu, our army almost didn't fight with the Qin army, but not long ago, we encountered the Qin army's Sima Terrier and lost hundreds of soldiers." Ju Xin arched his hand and said.

The three thousand Zhao Army, and not the Army Soul Legion, cannot be said to be useless on the battlefield of hundreds of thousands of people, and it can also be said that it is almost useless at all. If the whole army is accidentally annihilated, it will also affect the relationship between Zhao and Wei.

Therefore, Jin Contempt and Mang Mao never sent Ju Xin to fight, and it was not until not long ago that they went to meet Zhao Jun and were blocked by Sima and lost some people.

To put it bluntly, in the past few months, Ju Xin and the three thousand Zhao Jun have just done nothing, and they have only eaten and drunk together.

"Tell the soldiers that although they can't be knighted this time, they will be rewarded after they go back." Zhao Kuo said.

Although these 3,000 soldiers killed the enemy, they also had merit. Moreover, Zhao Guo has money now, so he doesn't have to pick and search.

"Thank you, the king." Ji Xin said with his fists clenched.

Zhao Kuo looked at Lecheng, and Lecheng began to talk about it when he arrived in Wei.

Hearing Le Cheng say that the people of Wei were unwilling to wear Hu clothes, and after fighting with the Qin army, they changed into Hu clothes in a nutshell, without any hesitation, Zhao Kuo couldn't help laughing.

Although the Wei people insisted on etiquette, they were only a minority who put etiquette before their lives.
