Chapter 294: give money, wind up
Chapter 294 Give money, the wind rises
At the end of November, the study of Xianyang Palace.
Zhao Huaizhong glanced: "All the ministers think that it is feasible to advance the timing of attacking Chu and start a full-scale war with Chu at this moment?"
Next seated were Lv Buwei, Han Fei, Li Si, Wei Liao, Zhili Neishi, who was in charge of money and food, and ministers such as Shaofu.
At the just-concluded court meeting, the ministers had already discussed the matter of attacking Chu.
Looking at the recent trend of frequent mobilization of the Qin army, we can see that Zhao Huaizhong has moved his mind to fully swallow Chu.
Otherwise, Wang Jian would not have been mobilized to send troops from the western front and resolutely entered the battlefield.
After the early morning disbanded, he held a small meeting in the study room and summoned all the ministers to discuss matters.
The original plan to attack Chu was to attack Chu with a thunderous force after digesting the gains from attacking Wei.
And the war between the two countries is very expensive. After Daqin destroys Wei, it also needs time to breathe and accumulate energy.
Besides, soldiers are not made of iron, they will get tired after a long battle, and they also need to rest.
"Currently, my grain reserves in Daqin are good, but the treasury is tight, please think twice." Zhili Neishi lowered his eyebrows.
When the treasury is tight, there is no money.
"The war with Chu, the Yan people are eager to move, if Yan joins the war again, my Qin's money, food and other materials will be consumed, I am afraid it will not be able to support."
Although Lu Buwei was a 'believer' of Zhao Huaizhong, he calmly analyzed the pros and cons and obviously did not approve of attacking Chu at this time.
Lu Buwei said, he is very old, but he is in good spirits.
"We are only two months away from destroying Wei, so the current war is not a good opportunity.
Please think twice, Your Majesty. "
Wei Liao said: "Aside from other reasons, just from the point of view of military strength, the battle with Chu at this moment is actually an excellent opportunity.
Our army held the main force of the Chu people on the east line, and the west line with Lian Po and Wang Jian. Both of them were famous generals. "
Zhao Huaizhong pondered: "Before the few people had to guard against demons, and many things were reserved for dealing with the western front to prevent the situation from changing.
Now, the widows have given bronze figures, thick earth beads and other items to the Qin army on the western front, such as Wang Jian and Lian Po, for sieging the city.
In this way, you can save military power and break the city faster. "
Your Majesty is determined to attack Chu... Lu Buwei and others are thinking.
is here again... Shaofu and Zhili Neishi are full of sadness, and after two years of recovery, they will start to feast on food and clothing again.
From their point of view, Zhao Huaizhong, the contemporary king of Qin, is good in everything, that is, he loves to fight.
Do it if you have some money.
"Your Majesty, in the current situation, it is better to take a compromise."
Lü Buwei said: "The terrain of Chu is near, the southwest is the most extensive, and its capital Shouchun is near the center of its border to the east. At this moment, our army is best in the southwest.
The king wants to attack Chu, it is better to focus on the southwest and quickly encroach on the land of the Chu people.
Eastern line hoarding troops, but only doing feint attack, containing Chu people, it can not only attack Chu, but also reduce our own consumption of Daqin. "
Zhao Huaizhong pondered for a while: "What Lu Xiang said was very agreeable to many people, so let's do it like this."
Zhao Huaizhong wanted to make a speech, and no one dared to beep too much.
Xiaochaohui broke up, and the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty began to collect money everywhere.
Lv Buwei and other ministers who will be involved have already taken the initiative to donate money to the treasury to replenish military expenses.
Lv Buwei was originally a merchant of the Wei Kingdom, one of the richest men of the contemporary era, and was known as the "Double Horses of the Great Qin Dynasty".
After he became the Prime Minister of Qin, his influence in all aspects increased greatly, and his business did not fall, otherwise he would not be able to support thousands of the Prime Minister's guests.
His donations are routine.
The news of the Qin army attacking Chu and raising money and food spread further. Originally, because her daughter married the King of Qin, she had been in a good mood during this time. Ji Xian, who lived in Xianyang, immediately packed up after receiving the news, intending to avoid the limelight.
He received the news that Daqin was going to fight to raise money in the morning, so he rushed out of Xianyang at noon, ready to go home.
The bamboo poles in Xianyang are very powerful, so we must guard against them.
He had just left Xianyang and walked only seven or eight miles away when he heard a coquettish voice in the air: "Father."
Ji Xian pretended not to hear, and urged the driver: "Hurry up, hurry up, the speed is too slow."
But he saw Ji Yu riding the Ji family's colorful sacred cow, falling from the air.
Ji Yan entered the palace, and the colorful divine cow became a dowry and was occupied by her own daughter.
Behind Ji Yu, there is a team of well-equipped Qin army inner court guards, riding the big Qin Ye beast with black mist churning under its feet, protecting its safety.
She rolled over from the multicolored cow and winked at the coachman.
The rider in the car immediately jumped out of the car and hid aside to avoid the accident, so as not to harm the fish pond.
Ji Yan stretched out her white jade-like hand, opened the car curtain, looked at the old man in the car, and went straight:
"Father, give the money, the king wants to fight."
Ji Xian swallowed: "Your Majesty is going to fight, but our family is not rich, how can we use the money?"
Ji Yu watched Ji Xian silently, and her eyes slowly turned red: "Father, my daughter is a new concubine. Rich, who believes?"
Ji Xian said displeased: "What other concubines, the king is not good at women, everyone knows, just you five concubines.
Concubine Yan and Concubine Han, Concubine Si's family has changed, and they have no long possessions. When you say that other concubines have money to pay, you are referring to the queen.
What are you and the queen arguing about? "
"We must fight and we must fight."
Ji Ji said in a loud voice, "The Shennong clan used all the balance in the family to fund the army, why can't my Ji family do it?"
Ji Xian lowered his voice and said, "Our family is different from the Shennong clan. Let's not argue about this kind of outsourcing."
"I do not."
Ji Yan said angrily, "Father just said whether to give it or not.
We have a hidden underground warehouse in our house, which is used to store all kinds of rice and other things to protect against military disasters.
Now Daqin needs this money and food, and his father donated it on his own initiative, which can relieve Daqin's current money and food troubles. "
She said these words through voice transmission. She obviously knew the seriousness and didn't expose the old family members in public.
Ji Xian was taken aback and replied, "There is still a cave at home, how do you know?"
The Ji family hides a cave, which is the big secret of the Ji family, and only the previous patriarchs and the family members know about it.
The Ji family has been passed down through the ages, and almost all the five emperor clans came from his family. Naturally, there are not a few families that have been secretly saved.
However, the Ji family can maintain its prosperousness for thousands of years, and it has its own set of rules for doing things. No matter which country is prosperous in any dynasty, the Ji family will keep the surface close and exquisite, but they will never stand in line.
So no matter who is in power, the Ji family will not lose.
Really makes the Ji family anxious, and it is not easy to provoke. It has the power of self-protection inside, flexible communication outside, and a profound background, so the Ji family can last forever and not fall for thousands of years.
"Father was drunk for three days last year after drinking immortal brew, and he had a hangover once. He accidentally missed it and was known by his daughter." Ji Yan said.
Ji Xian felt a chill in his heart, it was over.
This time, the Qin people didn't make a rhetoric, and replaced it with a more powerful daughter of their own.
"Dad, have you ever thought about it, now that Qin has a unified appearance, in the future the great king will take over the world, and the things that my Ji family have done in the past will no longer be possible.
According to my daughter's opinion, it is better to stand in line as soon as possible and do my best to help Daqin. In the future, when Qin conquers the world, my family will be rewarded a hundred times as much now. "
Ji Yan said, "Father can't see this as clearly as Shennong's."
Ji Xian snorted angrily, you want to help King Qin and fool Lao Tzu by saying something big.
But there is still a hint of relief in my heart, my daughter is not really stupid, she still sees things very clearly.
"That's it, what my son said, how about Rong Wei's father going back and discussing with the elders at home?"
Ji Yan: "Then father, hurry up, if you still don't respond, I'll go tell the king and ask the king to tell my father whether he will give it or not?"
I was sloppy just now, this girl is really stupid... Ji Xian reached out and stroked his forehead.
—
Chu.
At the end of November, a warm afternoon.
The King of Chu, Xiong Han, walked into the Jinyang Hall of the Chu Palace with his hands behind his back.
There is a yard with a view outside the hall, with rockeries and flowing water, and flowers are clustered together.
In the pavilion in the courtyard, a woman in white fur sat.
This woman has a charming appearance, is not square, her facial features are exquisite, and her temperament is cold and has an innate, lovable inner charm, which can be called a stunner.
At first glance, she seems to be in her thirties, but when you look again, she will feel younger. The years have not left many traces on her face, but instead condensed a mature charm after precipitation.
"Mother." A smile appeared on Xiong Han's face.
The woman in the pavilion is Li Yan, the Queen Mother of Chu, the mother of the current King of Chu and the younger sister of Li Yuan.
"Your Majesty, sit beside Mother."
Li Yan smiled and said, "I heard from my brother that Qin and Chu are fighting, and I don't know how the battle is going. I shouldn't be too hardworking?"
Xiong Han said: "The widow is fine. The widow has his own plans to fight against Qin, and he will eventually be able to defeat Qin. The mother and queen will wait and see."
He was actually comforting his mother. The battle between Qin and Chu was very bad at present.
At the beginning of the war, the people of Chu did not expect Qin Gang to destroy Wei, and they would have spare strength to support hundreds of thousands of troops and start a full-scale war with Chu.
Their strategy of attacking Qin in both light and dark ways was thwarted by the Qin people as soon as they fought.
Xiang Yan personally went to the east to lead the army, but he and Qin maintained an invincible and undefeated situation.
In the past few days, the secret Qin army has moved eastward, and Xiang Yan's deployment has also been suppressed. Fortunately, Xiang Yan is a famous general, and the Chu army is not a weak team, so the loss is not too big.
The latest news is that the Qin general Wang Jian led his troops to the western border of Chu land suddenly, and he was in harmony with Lian Po. In a few days, he went down to the two cities of the Chu people. The sharpness of the army made Shouchun shake after receiving the news.
Xiong Han was worried because he received news from the Western Front, so he thought about going out to visit his mother.
After chatting with his mother Li Yan for a while, he was ready to return to the main hall of the palace to summon ministers for ceremonies.
Just as he left Jinyang Hall and was on his way back to the main hall, a voice whispered in his ear: "Qin Hui will continue to increase troops to the Chu realm until he finally destroys Chu...
At that time, you will become the ruler of the subjugated country, and your mother Li Yan will also be humiliated by the Qin people. "
"Shut up." Xiong Han shouted fiercely.
Golden Crow's voice has never been interrupted, like a magic spell, pervasive, as long as the will is slightly shaken, it will be taken advantage of by its voice.
"Chu will attack Qin in an all-round way, and my demon clan will raise troops to help you break Qin..."
—
Demon Market.
Golden Crow took the ancient golden mirror in his hand.
On the other side of the hall, the demon master was reclining on the seat, his plump and tender legs protruded from under the skirt, folded together, and the fox tail swayed behind him: "Do you know the changes in Kunlun Mountain?
The King of Qin gathered a lot of demon clans out of nowhere and pushed them out to oppose us. "
Jin Wu said: "But the gathering of three or five little demons is not enough."
The Demon Lord Tianhu said: "Those demon clans are entrenched in places, and the demonic energy is rising very fast. They are sacrificing and refining the demon formation. I watched its layout. It has some history."
"The seal of the next layer of the demon ruins has begun to be unsealed."
Golden Crow disapproved and said: "The demon armor is also broken. This thing can hide the qi machine, and no one in the world can detect the induction. How do you plan to use the demon armor?"
The demon lord nodded: "There is news from the lord that I use the demon armor to enter the Kunlun Palace."
"Bring the monster armor, I'll go out first." Jin Wu said.
—
Yandi.
The Crown Prince's Mansion.
Prince Dan went out to see him off in person, and watched Jing Ke drive the flying sword and break through the air.
Beside Prince Dan, there was a tall and thin middle-aged man in brown robe, whose name was Gao Jianli.
Has a lot of friendship with Prince Dan and Jing Ke, and is a good friend of the two.
The two of them looked at Jing Ke who was going westward, and they all remembered what Jing Ke said to them before he left.
"As soon as I left the customs, I knew that the King of Qin had been promoted to the five realms of saints.
Even if I cultivate a sword without killing, I have no confidence to kill him. "
"So, is the owner still going?" Gao Jianli asked.
Jing Ke's face was calm, without any turbulence: "I have come here to say goodbye to the two of you, and I will leave for Xianyang today to kill the King of Qin."
Prince Dan, "If the head of the family has any request, you may ask it, and I will help the head of the family arrange it."
Jing Ke said: "I think carefully, the Qin people are attacking Chu at the moment, and what is most lacking should be money, food and other items..."
In history, Jing Ke stabbed Qin, using the map of Yan Dukang and Qin people to lower the head of general Fan Yuqi to win the trust of the First Emperor in exchange for a chance to get close.
But in this world, Zhao Huaizhong is a saint of the five realms. He has insight into reality, maps and Fan Yuqi's first-level strategy may not be feasible.
Therefore, Jing Ke went here, and what he was going to present to the Qin people was a kind of rice seed that was in the hands of the sect, which was produced in the ancient cave and was specially used for the practitioners to eat.
Eating one grain can fill one's stomach for a day, which is a miracle.
Jing Ke believed that the King of Qin could not refuse this thing and would meet him.
At the same time that Qin attacked Chu, the undercurrents of all parties were turbulent, and the situation suddenly rose.
