Chapter 38: Discord
After Cai Ze and Lou Shu met, they sat alone in the courtyard for a long time.
"Why did Lou Slow find you?" Hu Feizi handed Cai Ze a bowl of meat soup.
"Promise me a daughter, let me separate King Zhao and General Lian." Why is today's meat soup a little bitter?
Hu Feizi clapped his hands and smiled: "Isn't this in line with the female monarch's orders?" What are you waiting for? ”
"Indeed." Cai Ze nodded, he was already greedy for wealth and wealth, and he was well versed in the way of self-preservation, what else did he hesitate?
With the strong financial support of the Qin State, Cai Ze's plan went very smoothly.
In Handan City, from time to time, there is a wave of people whispering eagerly.
"General Lian is old, not as brave as he was back then, he only dares to stick to it."
"Even so, there were several defeats."
"The State of Qin has long studied General Lian thoroughly, and has a strategy to control the enemy."
"How's that okay?"
"I heard that the most feared general of the Qin State is not General Lian, but Ma Fuzi!"
"Back then, Ma Fujun broke the Qin army, leaving a deep shadow on the Qin army."
King Zhao himself was extremely dissatisfied with Lian Po's strategy, coupled with the fanning of the flames, so he summoned his ministers to discuss the matter.
In the court, Zhao Kuo, the son of Ma Fuzi, talked eloquently, saying that King Zhao's blood was boiling, and defeating the Qin State was just around the corner.
"The confrontation between Qin and Zhao has been going on for a long time, and the grain and grass are empty, so the whole army should attack and fight a quick decisive battle!"
Lin Xiangru objected: "Don't reuse Zhao Kuo just because he is a little famous, he only knows how to read his Aweng's military book, and he doesn't know how to improvise." ”
However, King Zhao insisted on changing generals.
People were sitting at home, and Zhao's mother, who came from the sky, heard that Zhao Kuo was going to Changping, so she hurried to the palace of King Zhao to ask to see King Zhao.
"You can't do it!"
King Zhao: "Why?" ”
Zhao's mother has told the truth: "Zhao Kuo can only talk on paper, when he Ah Weng was alive, he said that Zhao will not be included, if it is necessary, the person who breaks the Zhao army will also be included." ”
King Zhao may have thought of his father and brother, but at the beginning, they also looked down on him like this: "I have made up my mind!" ”
Mother Zhao reluctantly begged: "If you are defeated, please don't treat our family's crimes." ”
"Good."
Zhao Kuo finally took 200,000 recruits to help Changping and replaced Lian Po.
——
Halfway through the autumn harvest, Xun Shuang's account was flying, and he never closed his mouth with a smile.
"Congratulations to the Lady!"
A few years ago, because the strong labor force was withdrawn, Zhao Guochun's land was greatly reduced. In order to avoid provoking the people's uprising, and then there will be internal and external troubles, King Zhao actually did not raise taxes this year!
The latest farming technology was adopted, simple water conservancy projects were also done in winter, and Xu Xing led the farmers to guide patiently, and the field yield was 30% higher than before!
Li Feng looked at the bags of potatoes and bags with envy, no wonder the girl dared to buy so much land at the beginning, it turned out that she had a plan.
"Well, it would be nice to choose the sharing mode." Li Feng's second brother was red-eyed.
Li Feng warned him: "The contract has been decided, and it is useless to talk about it." When you see the girl, don't show that look. ”
"Whoa."
Li Feng's attitude was more respectful this time: "Congratulations to the girl, congratulations to Mrs. Lian." I have come today to hire someone. ”
Many fish: "Is it because of the king's re-enlistment?" ”
Li Feng said with a sad face: "That's right, there is already a shortage of manpower, and I was recruited again this time." Almost seven or eight out of ten young adults have been transferred. ”
Many of the fish were in a heavy mood, because many people in the fiefdom were also called: "I must first finish harvesting the land of my field." ”
Li Feng said gratefully: "This is nature. Seeing that the wheat was heavy, but no one harvested it, it could only be pecked by the birds and birds, and even fell to the ground to rot, which was really painful. ”
"Why don't you borrow troops from the nobles? The aristocracy had private soldiers. ”
"How will they borrow it?" As soon as he heard that he was going to borrow soldiers to harvest, it was like being insulted so much that he almost drew his sword against him.
"Fees?"
Li Feng gritted his teeth: "One percent of the harvest!" ”
"Good!"
After negotiating the cooperation, Li Feng's second brother was puzzled and asked, "Why don't you use money?" ”
Li Feng: "The girl is not stupid. According to the situation of Zhao State, there will be an ironclad food shortage next year! Money doesn't necessarily mean you can't buy food! ”
The second brother muttered in a low voice: "Wise as a demon, at a young age, he is so shrewd." ”
Many shrewd fish are worried about whether to plant another season of autumn potatoes.
If you plant in August, you will be able to harvest in November.
But Zhao Kuo began to advance, and this time is not easy to estimate.
At this time, Mrs. Lian ran over in a hurry: "Mother-in-law, the granary can't fit it!" You give me another key to the granary. ”
Mrs. Lian knew that the radical profits of many fish were big, but she didn't expect to make so much money: "The key is in the fish." ”
Mrs. Lian and Mrs. Lian have already discussed, if they pay compensation, the loss will be borne by the Lian Mansion. If you make money, you can just take away the usual grain production.
According to the harvest of previous years, it would be very good to be able to fill the granary with eighty percent.
Therefore, Mrs. Lian gave the keys to the other granaries to many fish early.
The harvest of the fiefdom attracted the grain collectors of the Zhao State.
"Tax increase?!" Xu Xing, who came to receive the grain collector, exclaimed, hurriedly made a look, and asked someone to inform the female monarch.
"That's right, our country is now in a critical moment, and I have been ordered to come and collect taxes." The grain collector had his nostrils facing the sky, and he didn't take Xu Xing in his eyes at all.
Many fish hurried over: "How much?" ”
The grain requisition officer was so greedy that he made a gesture: "Sixty percent!" ”
After saying that, the soldiers behind him were about to grab the grain that was being transported to the granary.
Many fish: "Impossible!" You say that you are on orders, and whose orders are you serving? Why haven't I heard that King Zhao has given this order? ”
The grain collector did not want to be able to speak his tongue, so he bypassed many fish and led the people towards the granary.
The common people of the fiefdom were left only a few old and weak, young and disabled, and they did not dare to stop them, so they could only hate them with resentment.
Many fish shouted to stop: "My lord, do you know where this is?" ”
The grain collector sneered: "Mo Naxin Pingjun pressed me." Xinping Jun was defeated, he was not liked by the king, and if he came back and was not punished, he was already magnanimous to the king. Xinping Jun led 200,000 troops, consumed countless grains, felt ashamed of the king, and was willing to offer family assets to atone for his sins. ”
"If a girl is interested, I will only take sixty percent. If you want to stop it, don't blame me for not leaving it at all! ”
Many fish smiled and said, "I'm afraid that the adults will have their lives to take them, but they won't have their lives." ”
"You're threatening me? Do you want to rebel? ”
"How so? My master is loyal to the king, and he has been fighting horses all his life, how can he do great rebellious things? It's just that the homeless bandits are rampant, and the fiefdom guards are empty, so I'm afraid that the safety of adults cannot be guaranteed. ”
Liu Xuan understood, and led a large group of displaced people to surround the grain collector. The black dolphin led the team and held the intersections.
The grain collector bluffed: "How can there be bandits, it is obvious that you have bad intentions!" ”
"Who saw that?"
The grain collector pointed to the people in the fields and said, "I don't believe that you can stop so many mouths." ”
Unexpectedly, the farmers in the fields lowered their heads and picked up the wheat grains that fell on the ground.
Ding Laoweng coughed: "Nothing happened today, follow the order of the female monarch and continue the autumn harvest." ”
"Whoa!" The peasants shouted in unison.
The grain conscripts were dumbfounded, this group of despicable people dared to open their eyes and tell nonsense! Where is the prestige of the king?
Many fish gave an order: "Take them down!" ”
