Chapter 7 He's jade

The State of Chu was the largest country in the Warring States Period. It had a large population and an astonishing overall strength. It was once highly expected by people and believed that the only one who unified the world was Chu.

It is precisely because of the amazing strength that the world has attracted the attention of the world. The Chu State strives to hegemony the Central Plains, and the Central Plains countries dare not defeat their edge. The most famous one is Duke Wen of Jin’s Battle of Chengpu, which is a battle for the Central Plains to resist the attack of Chu State.

Qi State is located on the shore of the East China Sea and gains the benefits of fishing and salt. "Cooking the sea into salt", which is the most salt in the world. It is precisely because of this convenience that the strength of Qi State cannot be underestimated.

The two major vassal states of Qi and Chu were amazingly powerful and bordered. Needless to say, the consequences would naturally be caused by accident, because "who can't let others sleep soundly beside the bed."

In this way, Qi and Chu were trapped in hundreds of years of war, and they would fight whenever they had the chance. The most famous one was that the two countries fought to the death for a barren land, and countless casualties were injured.

Another famous example is that Zhang Yi deceived King Huai of Chu and said that you should send troops to attack Qi. As long as you send troops, Qin will give you six hundred miles. King Huai of Chu listened to it, broke off his friendship with Qi, and prepared to send troops to attack Qi, which was a big fool of Zhang Yi.

Zhang Yi used the feud between Qi and Chu to deceive King Huai of Chu.

The current Qi State has declined due to Le Yi's attack on Qi, and it is no longer the grand occasion of the past. Furthermore, the famous general Tian Shan passed away and there is no general in the country. If Chu State wants to attack Qi, it is a good opportunity for heaven.

Although Qin Yiren was a lie, he hit the vital point of Qi. He would not be shocked if he won the victory.

Hou Sheng was already scared, but Qin Yiren wanted to scare him again, and only Qin Yiren said, "Mr. Chunshen asked Qin to divide the land together. I was very moved by such a huge profit."

"Together, divide Qidi?" Hou Sheng was frightened and almost fainted. He took a breath and forced himself to calm down, saying, "Taisun Wang, don't be fooled by Huang Xie. Huang Xie is not kind-hearted. Qi and Qin are far apart. Even if they conquered Qi, it is only beneficial to Chu and not to Qin. Wei destroyed Zhongshan Kingdom, but Zhao got the land, which is a clear proof."

The State of Wei used Le Yangzi to conquer Zhongshan, but because Zhongshan and Wei were far apart, they gave Zhao a free advantage. Zhao State had no choice but to spend a single soldier, and this was a famous example in the Warring States Period.

"The Prime Minister said that Qin should 'get a far-reaching enemy with nearby troops' and should not be enemies with Qi." Hou Sheng was still a little brained, and could find a remark.

"What's the difficulty?" Although Hou Sheng's words made sense, they couldn't help Qin Yiren. He only heard Qin Yiren say calmly: "I made an agreement with Chunshen Jun that Chu would obtain Qi land, and Chu ceded land of the same size to Qin, which was two ways."

Although Qin is far away from Qi, it borders Chu and can benefit Qin by exchanging land.

"This..." Hou Sheng was helpless immediately and could never think of a powerful saying.

Huang Shigong saw Hou Sheng, who was helpless and helpless, and felt very disdainful. Such an incompetent person is worthy of being the prime minister of a country, and the day when Qi State is destroyed is not far away.

"Don't worry too much, I haven't decided yet." Qin Yiren first attacked with words and then won, making him desperate, and then gave him a glimmer of hope.

Sure enough, when Hou Sheng heard this, he was very energetic and hurriedly said, "Taisun Wang Yingming, this matter must not be done."

"No, it's only cost-effective." Qin Yiren shook his head and said, "I thought about it again and again, and I'll meet the Prime Minister to see what kind of benefits Qi can give to the Qin Dynasty, and then make a decision."

"I will definitely give it, I will definitely give it." Hou Sheng didn't dare to say no, so he nodded quickly and kept agreeing.

He didn't ask Qin Yiren what kind of benefits he wanted, he was so impatient.

"If Qi cannot satisfy Qin, I can't say anything, so I have to join forces with Chu." Qin Yiren's words were full of threats.

"I must be satisfied, I must be satisfied." Hou Sheng's head was tapped faster than a chicken head that pecked at rice.

"I dare to ask the Prime Minister, what benefits can Qi State give to the Qin Dynasty?" The intimidation words have taken effect. Qin Yiren is better off when he openly defends the war.

"Da Qi is willing to give Qin Jin 100,000 and 200,000 stones of grain..." Hou Sheng hurriedly made a bid.

"Gold is a good thing and grain is good, but is Daqin short of this?" Qin Yiren was obviously dissatisfied.

Qin was rich and famous all over the world. Although the money and food were good, Qin was not short of it. Hou Sheng was stunned for a moment.

"How about this, I'll give the Qin Dynasty 100,000 stones of salt." Qin Yiren's lion spoke up.

Qi State was located on the shore of the East China Sea, and boiled sea as salt. It was the main producer of salt at that time. Seven or eight out of ten salts from the Warring States Period came from Qi State. Qin State lacked salt at that time, and as for the well salt from Sichuan, it was not discovered at that time. Qin State was extremely needed for salt, and the Qin Yiren targeted the salt of Qi State.

"Taisun Wang, are there too many?" Hou Sheng almost bit his tongue.

One hundred thousand stones of salt are much more expensive than one hundred thousand stones of grain. Even Hou Sheng, who doesn’t feel sorry for selling his son’s land, felt a pain.

"Do you want Qi State or salt?" Qin Yiren threatened naked.

Do you still need to choose this? Housheng knew that he had no choice, so he had to grit his teeth and said, "Since that's it, let's do it."

One hundred thousand stones of salt were already amazing, but Qin Yiren was not satisfied and said with an additional price: "This is not enough..."

"Not enough?" Hou Sheng heard it and almost fell to the ground.

One hundred thousand stones of salt, what an amazing number, a huge fortune, Qin Yiren was not satisfied. This appetite is too big, right?

"...In the future, you will have to sell the salt bought by Daqin to Daqin at half price." Qin Yiren ignored him, and what he said could scare people to death.

Salt was very expensive at that time, and if Qi accepted it, the loss would be huge. Qi's wealth was mainly supported by salt tax, which was a considerable loss for Qi.

"Taisun Wang, you are too cruel." Hou Sheng didn't care and screamed.

That's right, Qin Yiren's move is too ruthless, so cruel that it makes people speechless.

"If you agree, I have a plan, not only will it not cause losses to Qi, but it will also make great progress." Qin Yiren smiled, as cunning as a fox.

"The salt sold to Daqin is half price, will the salt sold to other countries be increased?" Qin Yiren answered the question.

"Add price?" Hou Sheng's eyes shone brightly, and he felt like he was enlightened.

"Seven or eight out of ten salts in the world come from Qi. Those sold to Qin are at half price, and those sold to other countries will increase the price. For example, the two countries that Qi hates, such as Yan and Chu, can raise the price by three or two times, or even five or six times, or ten times, not impossible." Qin Yiren gave a suggestion.

Yan almost destroyed Qi, and Qi hated Yan; Chu was the old enemy of Qi, and Qi also hated Chu. If the salt sold to these two countries, no one dared to say that it would be irrelevant.

"Okay! OK! OK!" Hou Sheng's eyes shone, and he was very happy.

"But, if Yan and Chu collude together and want to deal with Da Qi, what should we do?" Hou Sheng was not without concerns.

"What's the problem?" Qin Yiren was calm and did not take it at all. He smiled and said, "The Qin Dynasty can make an appointment with Qi as a brotherly country. In the future, the affairs of Qi will be the affairs of Qin. As long as the Qin supports Qi, how dare the Yan and Chu countries say nothing?"

Qin was the strongest Warring States Period. If he could get the support of Qin, even if Yan and Chu were dissatisfied, he would not be able to do anything to Qi. Hou Sheng couldn't help but be overjoyed and said with a heavy emphasis: "Thank you the Grandson of the King! Thank you the Grandson of the King!"

"Of course, if Qi State gave 20% of the salt tax to the Qin Dynasty, this would be even better, and no one dared to solve the tiger beard of the Qin Dynasty." Qin Yiren had a big appetite and was not satisfied with so many benefits.

"I finally understand why Xinling Jun, Pingyuan Jun and the others are always unlucky. Wang Taisun is born to make good things." Huang Shigong shook his head and muttered in his heart. Qin Yiren's appetite is speechless.

"Very good! Very good!" Hou Sheng agreed without thinking.

Qin Yiren just set up a banquet and drank with Housheng for a drink. He got so many benefits, which was too amazing.

Under the planning of Qin Yiren and the help of Fan Sui and Le Yi, Qin took advantage of the opportunity of the envoys from various countries to come to Xianyang to make a fortune and make a fortune. After King Zhao of Qin received the news, he smiled so hard that his eyes were only a small gap, and he kept praising Qin Yiren.

After gaining enough benefits, Qin Yiren then handled state affairs and his life returned to normal.

After a few hours, a burst of news came, and the envoy of Zhao State Lin Xiangru and He Shi Bi came to Xianyang.

"Heshi Bi?" After Qin Yiren received the reward, he jumped high, his eyes shining brightly.

"Heshi Bi?" Huang Shigong and Han Fei were also surprised by Mo Ming, with a light flashing in his eyes.

The Heshi Bi is famous and famous for all ages. One legend after another was staged for the Heshi Bi. Now, Lin Xiangru has brought the Heshi Bi to Xianyang, which is a huge thing.

Without saying a word, Qin Yiren rushed into the palace immediately to meet King Zhao of Qin. As soon as he entered the palace, he heard King Zhao of Qin shouting: "Hurry, hurry, call him Lin Xiangru."

In order to bring Heshi Bi, King Zhao of Qin suffered humiliation. He was fooled by the unknown Lin Xiangru, which made him feel the allusion of "returning the jade to Zhao". Now, I heard that Lin Xiangru brought Heshi Bi to Xianyang and couldn't help but ask him not to be anxious.

Lin Xiangru was taken in by the Iron Eagle Sharpman like a prisoner. King Zhao of Qin stared at Lin Xiangru with his eyes as if he was a copper bell, his white beard was raised and his shame from the past surged into his heart. He wanted to tear Lin Xiangru and eat it.

Lin Xiangru was not afraid at all and came with a high aura. This was his demeanor. Back then, when he was still an unknown unknown soldier, he was ordered to come to see King Zhao of Qin with the Heshi Bi. He was not afraid of King Zhao of Qin, and now he is even less afraid.

"Good demeanor!" Qin Yiren saw it and admired Lin Xiangru's character very much.

The Iron Eagle Ruishi held a gold-painted box and presented it to King Zhao of Qin, which contained the Heshi Bi.

King Zhao of Qin didn't even look at it. With a wave of his hand, the Iron Eagle Ruishi hurriedly picked up the Heshi Bi away.

"Lin Xiangru, Lin Xiangru, you finally fell into my hands. What else do you have to say?" King Zhao of Qin felt like he was about to spit out fire.

King Zhao of Qin admired the world, and when he mentioned it in Shandong, he would be frightened. However, he had an lingering shame in his life, and this shame was left to him by Lin Xiangru.

King Zhao of Qin wanted to get the Heshi Bi, but Lin Xiangru staged a scene of "returning the jade to Zhao", which made his plan fail.

This matter is still tolerated, and the most unbearable thing is that at the meeting in Mianchi, Lin Xiangru forced King Zhao of Qin to smash the basin. The dignified king of a country was forced to smash the basin. What a shame?
