Spring and Autumn I Am King

ps: The second one is offered, please guarantee the monthly pass

"Jun today is decorated with the jade of Kunshan, holds the pearl of the country, wears the sword of Wu and Yue, rides the horse of Daibei, builds the flag of the green fèng, and the drum of the tree spirit. All these treasures are not one and the same, but you have them. What's the matter? If the four roads of the Great River and Wu Dao are all broken, then it is a luminous jade, not decorated with the court; the rhinoceros and elephants are not for fun; Zheng Wei's daughter does not fill the harem, and Junliang is a scorpion. It is not true that the outer stables are not used, the gold and tin in the south of the Yangtze River are not used, the danqing of the Western Shu is not used for harvesting, and the clothes of Song and Lu are not used in the front..."

"Shuzi's name is a foreign minister, and he is actually deceiving me."

Qi Hou was furious when he saw it, and threw the paper book to the ground, stomping on it a few times.

All the ministers went up and down, only Chen Heng was pondering in his heart. He secretly said, "This "Advice and Salt Policy" is neither humble nor arrogant.

"If you want to ban salt to harm the enemy's country, you will actually harm yourself for the benefit, the break of the noon road, the tax of Taoqiu, and the failure of the water supply. Those who gain the Tao will help more, those who lose the Tao will have little help, and I look forward to the Marquis of Qi. Investigate it and remove the ban on salt policy, this is the blessing of the millions of people in Qilu.”

For example, in this paragraph, the words are overflowing, the meaning is mixed and ridiculing, the words are odd and the words are heavy, and the rabbits rise and falcons fall. Although Zhao Wuxi was a doctor of the enemy country, he had an irresistible momentum in his defense and remarks, and even Chen Heng couldn't help but secretly praised his young opponent.

However, is this really written by Zhao's son? Those verses in the past were famous all over the summer, but I haven't seen much of the article written by him.

Regarding Zhao Wuxi, Chen Heng was not stingy with the most vicious guesses, but this time, the fire that Zhao Wuxi set on the Jishui helped the Chen family again, helping them to severely damage the public boat master.

Among the boat masters in Donglai and Shaohai, there are naturally people from the Chen family, plus the fleet on the big river, the Chen family has quietly surpassed the office...

So in the face of Qihou's question about "what's the best thing to do now", Chen Heng decided to keep silent this time, not saying a word.

Anyway, the big river controlled by the Chen family can continue to trade. With the deepening of the colonial war between Qi and Lu, Cao and Jin, all participants will suffer, but the Chen family is the victor: the people of Qi will also suffer from poverty, but Chen family can take this opportunity to win a wave of people's hearts.

Stealing shovel. He has been working hard to dig under the foundation of Jiang surnamed Qi, but Qi Hou mistakenly thought that Chen was laying a solid foundation for him, and Yan Ying's bad advice before his death had long been forgotten in anger and anger. net.

But even Marquis Qi himself knew that the state of Qi was in a bad situation.

For a big country, face is extremely important. The state of Qi was defeated in military affairs by the Zhao clan. When Zhao Yang returned to the country and only his son Zhao Wuxie was left, he was countered again and again in the competition of goods and goods. You must know that the method of light and heavy, but the state of Qi, who is known as the king of the sea, is the best at it. yes

In the end, it was easy to get back a game on the big river, and it was completely lost on the Jishui.

If we can't win this battle, wouldn't we let the world's lords be light-hearted?

What should I do now, is to obey the anger in my heart and send troops to attack Yuncheng in the south? But he had only promised to the soldiers who had returned from the fiasco. There will be no more large-scale levies within three years. Once the promise is broken, it will definitely lead to violent resistance.

Or according to Chen's suggestion, not let go of the salt ban, and would rather risk Zhao Wuxi's death at the risk of losing both sides? But in that case, many of the goods that Qi State needs and the pearls and jade that he desires cannot be imported.

Or, follow the steps of Zhao Wuxi's "reconciliation" to end the confrontation and return to normal?

But how could he swallow this breath

His mind was like a mess, unable to make a choice, Qi Hou could only loudly question the ministers in the court. But only for a moment of silence.

In the end, he sighed sadly: "As soon as Yan Ying goes, will the widow have no one to use?"

Chen Heng sneered smugly, while Bao Mu, Gao Zhang and the others also looked at each other with bitter faces.

Just then, a faint voice rang out.

"The minister has a memorial..."

who is it? Qi Hou's eyes lit up. Looking at the group of ministers who turned their heads, it was a timid young man on the mat at the end of the court hall. He was only seventeen or eighteen years old.

He is Yan Ying's son, Yan Yu. Just finished the half-year mourning period, was appointed as a doctor, and ranked in the court.

Chen Heng's eyes widened. Although the Chen family was afraid of Yan Ying, Yan Yu, the young son He De He Neng who had just been crowned, dared to speak in the courtroom.

Qi Hou's eyes dimmed again. Yan Yu has not been known for his talents since he was a child, and being a doctor is completely a father's job. Even Yan Ying himself jokingly followed his uncle Xiangzhi's words and said, "I don't have a good son. It is a blessing to be able to get a good death, do you still expect to be sacrificed by future generations?"

"Sister Yan, do you really have a plan?"

Yan Yu raised his head and said earnestly, "No kid."

Everyone was dumbfounded: "Then why do you say there is a memorial?"

"The kid didn't, but the kid's father did."

Is this a fool? Qi Hou sighed: "Yan Pingzhong has been dead for half a year... Didn't you just finish serving filial piety?"

"Although my father is gone, there is a suicide note left at home. Before he died, he said something. When the state of Qi was struggling, he asked me to present the suicide note..."

...

"Yan Pingzhong..." After closing the silk book with only a few strokes, Qihou Chujiu sighed.

The person who knew him best in the world was Yan Zi. It was during the chaotic years of the Cui Qing Rebellion. Qi Zhuang, the elder brother of Chujiu who stole from the courtier's wife, was killed, and he was pushed to the throne when he was young.

The first time I saw Yan Ying, it was at the succession ceremony of the Taigong Temple. In order to establish his prestige, the monarch Cui Yi sent troops to guard him inside and outside, forcing the ministers to make blood alliances and express allegiance to him. If he violated the rules a little, he would be executed. Seven people had already been killed. The atmosphere was so terrifying that Chujiu could only shiver helplessly.

When it was Yan Ying's turn, everyone held their breath and stared at this little doctor who was less than six feet tall: he was not even more than ten years old.

However, the small Yan Ying calmly lifted the bottle, and swore to the Tianmeng without being humble or arrogant: "I am only loyal to the lord and the country, and anyone who acts as a tiger to help Zhou and Zhou will not die." After that, he drank it. Cui Hao was so angry that he pressed his sword against Yan Ying's chest fiercely, asking him to swear again. However, Yan Ying was not afraid, and replied sternly: "Cui Hao, have you read the "Poems"? Cut off my head, but still use the light lu to penetrate my chest, Yan Ying will never submit."

Cui Hao was furious and wanted to kill Yan Ying. Kitsune was also shivering with fright. But everyone persuaded Cui Hao and said: "Don't let the king kill Zhuang Gong, because he is ignorant and the people of the country don't respond very much. If you kill the virtuous doctor Yan Ying, it will be troublesome." Cui Hao couldn't help him. what. He could only grit his teeth and watch Yan Ying walk away.

Chujiu just watched Yan Zi turn around and leave. He was still short of height, still unremarkable, and his back was a bit hunched. When he stepped out of the threshold in plain dark clothes, he turned around and gave Chujiu a consoling smile.

The moment he opened the door, the sunlight outside clearly sprinkled his back in the courtyard. At that moment, Yan Zi's figure stood upright like an emperor, taller than Cui Chu and Chujiu. It is higher than Duke Wengong Ding, and goes straight to the top of the Taimiao Temple.

Between that size, the aura of looking at everything in the world convinced everyone.

It's Yan Pingzhong's life to go out of the bottle and rush thousands of miles away.

Even after his death, he will continue to do everything he can to make plans for Kitsune

"Some victories are won by long swords and axes, and some victories are won by pen and silk..." Chu Jiu silently recited Yan Ying's stern teaching, and gradually calmed down, he thought a lot.

Where will the silk book be sent?

Song Wei's marriage. The xenophobia of Sanhuan in the state of Lu, the grievances between the Fan clan and the Zhao clan in the Jin country... If you think about it carefully, there is a lot to do.

So he ordered: "Let someone be recalled to Guoxia, and the widow has something important to discuss with him."

...

at the same time. Xilu, who attacked Qiren head-on, also re-runs in a busy business.

Those who came to Xilu with Xu Cheng, as well as the salt and copper and tin transported by Wu Guohuai, started from Xudi, traveled northwest of Huaisi, passed the Song Dynasty, and stopped at Kanzhi, where the tomb of Jiu Gong of Lu State is located. Enter Onozawa. Shipped to Yuncheng.

When those white flowers arrived, there was a burst of cheers from the Yuncheng Wharf, while Linghu Bo, who was onlookers, sighed, secretly saying that Zhao Wuxi was really cunning, that he had purchased salt from the Wei clan in the state of Juguo and the state of Wu. The plan to specialize in Xilu salt was in vain: the salt from the Wei family was only two or three hundred bells a month, but the people of Wu State, in exchange for a large number of porcelain, shipped five hundred bells at a time.

Moreover, the Chen family began to learn from Zhao Wuxi's method, and intermittently sent boatmen to block Jijin, which meant that the Wei family's salt ship had to dock at Mengjin, and those from Zhengguo were willing to release any caravan, provided that the tax was paid. enough.

Therefore, Wei's salt will become more and more expensive... and after Juguo was warned by Qi, the doctors' behavior of selling salt has restrained a lot. But in the short term, Xilu's salt is absolutely enough to eat, and not only is enough for himself, but also earns a lot of money from resale trade.

At least in the short term, Zhao Wuxi will benefit. In the long run, no one can tell.

For the help from Qufu... Zhao Wuxi can only give Luhou Baizhong's "tribute" for the time being, and then send dozens of "beam repairs" to Confucius's family of Zongbo, and Sanhuan also has dozens of "tributes" each. Gift~www.wuxiaspot.com~ This is done to appease the Confucian disciples under him, and on the other hand, to stabilize the restless mood of the capital city of Lu due to the rising salt price.

As for other scholar-bureaucrats and folks, I'm sorry, but they are not available for the time being.

However, they can buy it privately. Of course, this resale trade is very expensive. Some literati and officials in the south of the eastern part of Lu country are involved with Zhao Wuxi in order to buy salt. Zhao Xiaosikou's influence began to spread out of Xilu. , expanding in all directions.

As for the people, there are not a few people who come to Xilu to ask for salt to eat. In the past few months, salt has even quietly replaced the shell coins of the state of Lu, and has become the main medium of transactions. The situation is no different.

This point reminds Zhao Wuxi that there is another commodity in Qi that is extremely popular in Lu, and it earns a lot of profits from Lu every year. Should it be treated equally and banned from confiscating it?

That's right, it's the currency of Qi, the coin of Qi knife

Although he said that he wanted to reconcile with Qi, in terms of means, Zhao Wuxi did not hesitate to use his ruthless hand to expel all the economic elements in the territory that were affected by Qi. To be continued.
