No money? If you have a mine, you can do it. Pigtails don't mine? The same is true of the timber you used to hoard for shipbuilding. What? The timber has been sold out, and there really is nothing else?

The man will do the same, and sell me any of the captives who are unruly or disobedient. It can not only reduce the pressure on your grain and grass, but also exchange it for some grain and grass.

"Two million stones, what does the Yue country want so much food for!" Zhao Kuo said strangely. Two million stone grains and grass is not a small amount, it is enough for the entire Yue country to eat for nearly half a year, and even if Zhao Guo has it, it is impossible to sell it to Yue Guo easily.

Moreover, the grain and grass of Zhao State were not abundant, and soldiers had to be raised, officials and craftsmen had to be raised, prisoners had to be raised, and Hetao had to be developed...... Zhao bought a lot of grain and grass from Qi and Chu the year before and last year, and the fleet sent fish over in a steady stream to meet the food demand.

Although the granaries were built, not even a tenth of them were filled. After the summer grain harvest this year, Zhao Guo was able to meet his own food needs, but there was still not much surplus grain.

Zhao Kuo also thought about continuing to buy grain from other countries and stuffing the granary. According to his plan, when the granary was full, Zhao Guo would be able to move his muscles and bones.

"I think it...... Yue Jun wants to restore the country! Lu Zhonglian said in a deep voice.

"So fast, didn't Yue Guo just sweep away the surrounding Ouyue? Don't you need to recuperate? Zhao Kuo's action of pouring water suddenly stagnated, even after the war between Zhao and Qin, he had to stop and rest for a while, take two breaths and continue to fight, Yue Guo was so fierce that he even gave up recuperation!

The bass is really not big in the world, and there are a lot of wonders.

"The topography of the Yue country is special, and the 100,000 mountains divide the Yue country into pieces. Ordinary recuperation will not promote the integration of the Ouyue tribes, but will gradually restore the tribes to their previous state. Only when the war takes down a piece of territory and allows everyone to get out of the mountains, can the Yue Kingdom achieve strong and effective rule and screw everyone together. ”

"As for food, Yue Guo relies on the sea, and the navigation technology is developed, so fishing can solve part of it, and the remaining part depends on its own cultivation and purchase from my Zhao country. Moreover, the restoration of the country can enhance everyone's collective consciousness and collective sense of honor. On the whole, it is better to return to the country early than to return to the country late. Of course, only if it can be successful. Lu Zhonglian said.

He heard that the relationship between Yue and Qin was also a little ambiguous, but the two countries were separated by the Chu State, and the Yue State could not do it even if they wanted to buy grain from the Qin State.

It is even more unlikely that the state of Chu will sell grain to the state of Yue, and the state of Yue will either buy from the state of Zhao or the state of Qi. However, unless it can't be bought in Zhao State, Yue State will not buy it from Qi State.

The restoration of Yue Jun has been carried out silently, and one more country knows that there is one more risk, at least for now, Zhao is credible, while Qi is not necessarily.

"The minister estimated that Yue Jun did not want to return to the country immediately, but should just be prepared, prepare grain and grass first, and wait for the opportunity. However, it will not be too long, and it will be rainy in the south, and the grain and grass will not be able to be preserved for several years. Yue Jun will not let this batch of grain and grass go down the drain. Liu Ping said.

The minister also thinks so, if the Yue State boldly announces the restoration of the country, it will inevitably suffer the full blow of the Chu State, and the probability of failure is as high as ninety percent. On the contrary, if you wait for the right time, the probability of success is still very high. Lu Zhonglian nodded.

"What if the Qin State is behind it?" Zhao Kuo asked suddenly.

"What does the king mean...... Qin is ready to create opportunities for the Yue State? Lu Zhonglian asked.

"Not bad." Zhao Kuo nodded, if there is a Qin State to help attract the firepower of the Chu State, the possibility of the success of the Yue State is still very high.

Moreover, there is the nail of Yue State stuck in the back of Chu State, which is also good for Qin State.

"The minister thought that it was unlikely, throughout the Qin State for so many years, it was using others to achieve its own goals, how could it be possible to sacrifice itself and achieve the Yue Kingdom. Moreover, for the Qin State, the Chu State was no longer his worst enemy, and the expansion of the Qin State in the southeast direction had also reached its limit. The existence of the Yue State is beneficial to the Qin State, but it is not very large. It's not worth it for the Qin State to do this. Lu Zhonglian said.

After the Battle of Yan Ying, Qin's greatest enemy had always been Zhao. If it was to put a nail in the back of Zhao State, Lu Zhonglian felt that it was possible for Qin State to do this, but if it was changed to Chu State, it was unlikely.

"The southwest region of the Qin State has been fighting with the Qiang people, but it is not fierce, it should be training. The minister did not receive any news that Qin had sent troops to Jiangling and Nanyang, but he did not rule out the possibility of secretly increasing troops. Liu Ping said.

"What did Yue Guo exchange for grain and grass this time?" Zhao Kuo asked.

"Seven thousand captives, all young and strong." Lu Zhonglian said. According to the actual price, the price of seven thousand Qingzhuang has more than doubled the price of two million stone grain and grass, and it is obvious that Yue Guo also knows that it is impossible for Zhao Guo to agree, so he gave double the price.

What Yue Jun didn't know was that the group of people he gave to Zhao State now provided great convenience for Zhao State when Zhao State destroyed Yue in the future.

"Do you think this grain is for sale or not?" Zhao Kuo pondered for a while, then raised his head to look at Lu Zhonglian and Liu Ping.

In all fairness, the restoration of the Yue State was good for the Zhao State. If Qin and Zhao regard each other as their greatest enemies, then Chu is undoubtedly the second greatest enemy of the two countries.

Although the strength of the Chu State is sometimes strong and sometimes weak, and the brain of Chu Jun is also good and bad, but the Chu State has never fallen out of the top three in overall strength by virtue of its vast territory.

Now Chu State chooses to unite with Zhao State, but no one knows when it will turn its face, and Zhao State needs Yue State to contain Chu State behind his back.

But Zhao Kuo was worried that the restoration of the Yue Kingdom would disrupt Zhao's plans. Once this war starts from the southeast and the Yue Kingdom successfully recovers, it is very likely that the war will spread to the entire Central Plains.

It has not been two years since Zhao changed the law, and the most important thing to do is still to recuperate, not war.

If the restoration of the Yue State fails, the Zhao State will have one less chess piece behind the Chu State, which is also a loss.

"It is inevitable that Yue Jun will return to the country, even if my Zhao State does not sell grain and grass to Yue State, Yue Jun will find a way to buy it from Qi State. However, the minister felt that this matter could be postponed for a while. Lu Zhonglian said.

"Drag it out?"

"After the summer harvest, we will give 500,000 stone grain and grass to the Yue country, and after the autumn harvest, we will give the remaining 1.5 million stone grain and grass, and when the grain and grass are harvested, they will be dried and transported to the Yue country, and it will be winter. It is unlikely that the Vietnamese will start a war in the winter, and it will not be until next spring at the earliest. At least this year, our Zhao country will be able to develop steadily. As for next year, no matter what the outcome of Yue Chu is, it will not affect my Zhao Kingdom in a short period of time. Even if the Qin State launched a war, it had Han Wei as a barrier. Lu Zhonglian said.

The three years after the change of law were the shortest period of stability that Zhao Guo needed. Of course, longer is naturally better.

But everyone understands that it is unlikely. It is not the time of Wei Wenhou now, and it is rare to have three years of peace.
