Qin Shi Big Boss

Chapter 112 Soldiers meet each other
"Is the yield really that high?" King Zhao Mourning asked the secret agent. No matter how stupid he is, as a king, he can still know the huge benefits behind it.

"Same as what Juluhou and General Li Mu said, the yield of this dried sweet potato is extremely high. The last time it was in the Prince's Mansion was about 150 shi. Not only that, but a batch of sweet potatoes can mature within three to four months, and a year The tertiary or the quaternary is not a problem," said the secret agent, clasping his hands.

"This sweet potato is very tense, it is a great plan of the country, and there must be no mistakes." King Zhao Mourning slashed, but the officials agreed after hearing that this sweet potato is really too tense, and nothing can be found wrong.

Immediately, King Zhao Mourning asked the spy impatiently, "Do you know where you got these sweet potatoes?"

"Report! I bought it in the store." The secret agent's tone was respectful but full of slander. King Zhao's memory is really bad. He just said it once and actually forgot it again.But he did not dare to neglect. King Zhao was moody, but he killed many people.

Even if he was asked to go to Xianyang Palace to murder, he was not happy to face the King Zhao, so he lowered his head after finishing speaking and said no more.

King Zhao Daoxiang didn't know that he had a speech problem, but he became angry and roared: "I'm asking about sweet potato seeds, not telling you where sweet potatoes come from. Do you want to die? If you want to die, I can take care of you." ."

The spy was taken aback and didn't dare to argue, so he said quickly: "The sweet potato seeds are in the middle of the farm of Qin State. Simply put. Even the princes and nobles of the Qin Kingdom have to obtain corresponding stamps to be qualified."

"I'm so disappointed! The Qin State is really cunning, and it really wants to swallow the sweet potato seeds all by itself. It has a big appetite. If it grows up like this, other countries can no longer restrain him." Li Mu gave a secret agent a wink, and the latter immediately understood and cautiously broke away.

"Most of the sweet potatoes obtained in external stores have been dried, just like the one we eat. If you want sweet potato seeds, it is basically impossible, and there is no traffic in the store at all." Zhao Mu said wistfully.

"When I ate the sweet potatoes, I had already talked to some Qin people and studied the structure of the farm. It was very difficult to break into. Even if I dig a hole in the ground, there is no way, and the hounds will find the traces. Even if I get the sweet potato seeds, another one will find them. There is a long way to go. Counties and counties have all set up association cards. Once stolen, all levels will be closed. At that time, a large number of trap masters will come to patrol, and there will be no way to escape." Li Mu frowned. Said, the year is good, but there is no realistic generality.

Although Lu Buwei was born as a businessman, he is a master in management, and many scholar-bureaucrats cannot compare with him.Not to mention, there is another Zhang Yi in Qin State, who is very eloquent and difficult to deal with.

"Isn't it true that there are no facilities? We are a big country of Zhao, and we want to steal a small sweet potato seed from Qin, but there are no facilities? So what are you using Zhao Guoyang for?" King Zhao Mourning was angry road.

All the ministers lowered their heads and did not dare to take a breath. When King Zhao Youxiang was angry, he had a criminal record.There was already an old minister, and because of his status, he was forcibly dragged down by King Zhao Mouxiang.

"It's too difficult! Not to mention the strict defense, the system is also impeccable. The people used by the Qin State are extremely loyal to the Qin State, so it is difficult to agree. Once they agree, those people will keep the money and silk. And if you report it to the county governor, there will be no facilities at all." Zhao Mu looked pale.

With his IQ, Naihe can probably be compared with the farm built by Zhang Yi, Lu Buwei, Zhao Gao and Ying Zheng.

"No facilities? If there is no facility, let the widow think about the facilities. Otherwise, Qin Guoqian will sit here and become unstoppable. The widow will be completely finished, and the Zhao country will be completely finished. No matter what, we must get sweet potato seeds." King Zhao Mourning noticed this.

"What the king said, friends, let's think about the solution together! It's pointless to say that you may not be able to find a good method. There are no airtight walls in the world. That's the way the formation is in battle, and this farm should be like this. In fact, it's just It’s just that I haven’t found it yet, as long as I look hard, I will definitely be able to find it.” Li Mu praised King Zhao Mourning Xiang’s opinion, and as soon as he said this, he immediately mobilized many ministers.

Zhao Mu, however, pulled his face and continued to slander in his heart, but he said: "What General Li Mu said is true, but it takes time, such a sophisticated farm, it is difficult to occupy it in a short time. Otherwise, I am afraid that the Wei State of South Korea will The country has already started."

Just as Zhao Mu expected, South Korea and the capitals of Wei were worried about this matter, and for a while really didn't know what to do.

In the palace of Wei State,

King Wei Anli sat on the throne and called some trusted ministers to talk with them about sweet potatoes.

"As you all know, Qin's dried sweet potatoes are popular in various countries, and the supply was once found to be in short supply. What do you think?" Wei Anli Wang Yizhi said.

Lord Xinling was very insightful, he immediately came to his senses, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, according to my point of view, the Qin State just wants to grow up and become a huge power, and in the future, like a waterfall, it will sweep across the six countries and unify the whole country. Now this dried sweet potato is like this, the state of Qin has tightly closed the flow of seeds, and only the people of Qin can use it."

After the ministers heard it, their expressions changed drastically. Judging from the state of Wei, it might as well be the country's subjugation.

"The people of Qin are really shameless. Sure enough, they have such dirty tricks to expand their own customs and obtain huge profits. I knew that this group of barbarians were so hateful. Back then, when King Wei Hui was in power, he should have risked his life to take this group of The savages are wiped out."

"I originally thought that Qin was a big country and ranked first among the seven countries, but I didn't expect that the Qin people were so disgusting. They watched so many people starve just for their own selfish desires. It's really disgusting!"

"Recently, I will contact other kings to join forces to attack Qin and let them spit out sweet potato seeds. Let's see if they can be as lucky as in the past when the six kingdoms attack Qin this time. decline."

Listening to the words of the war lovers, Lord Xinling was a little moved, but he held back and said loudly: "My lord, it's not time for a big battle yet, we should let Wei's spies test it first to see if we can get it." Sweet potato seeds, if you really can’t do it, then contact other countries to beat Qin’s arrogance.”

King Anli of Wei expressed his approval for this. If we fight together, if we lose at that time, we don't know what will happen.In the past, there were criminal records, and the six countries attacked Qin, but in the end they completely defeated Qin.

"Okay, just follow what Mr. Xinling said, go and test it, and let Wei's elite spies dispatch. No matter what, we must get sweet potato seeds. This is related to the future of Wei. Mr. Xinling, this matter will I entrust you." King Wei Anli said cautiously.

"Your Majesty, please rest assured! I will try my best to help you get sweet potato seeds this time, even if it means sacrificing my life," Xinling Jun vowed to the sea, but in fact, he had no confidence in his heart.

In the middle of the South Korean royal palace, Han Wangan was not overly surprised when he heard the news about Sweet Potato, but was very calm.

Han Jie was nervous, and hurriedly said: "My lord, if the Qin State monopolizes sweet potatoes, the barriers will increase further. By then, we will be so close to Qin State, we will be the first to hit."

Han Wangan was silent, and after a long time, he said softly: "Ji Wuye, how do you see this sweet potato incident?"

Nearby, an extremely ugly and tough man stood up, chewed a few dried sweet potatoes before swallowing them, and said, "Han Jie's words are very reasonable. , We are very dangerous. But with our Korean strength, it is a bit difficult to enter the farm."

"No matter how difficult it is, we still have to seize the sweet potato seeds. After all, this is the hope of our Korea's rise." He said slashingly, this person is Zhang Liang's grandfather, although he is a scholar, he is extremely stubborn.

"I have obtained the sweet potato seeds, but what will happen next? What will I do if the Qin State comes over? Now the Qin State has treated the sweet potatoes as a national treasure. After taking the sweet potato seeds, it is equivalent to robbing the King of Qin's mother. He will definitely be anxious for you. "Ji Wuye spoke a little violently, but it was reasonable.

"In this case, it seems that there is really no way. Shouldn't we just wait for South Korea to perish?" The King of Han had always been weak, but when he heard Ji Wuye's words, he suddenly lost his temper and had no confidence at all.

"Test more or less, there will always be a chance. You can't just sit and wait to die! At worst, it is a good way to block the Qin army by giving sweet potato seeds to other countries as a price? "There was a flash of inspiration immediately when they parted.

"Okay! According to what you said, let Ji Wuye be in charge of this matter, and you must obtain sweet potato seeds." Han Wangan said immediately, and then turned around and left without giving Ji Wuye a chance to argue.

Although Ji Wuye was arrogant, he had separate checks and balances. He didn't dare to say anything, so he had to contact Mo Ya and others to let them take action, but he had to unite with the strength of other countries to deal with Qin's traps together.

"It's not that there is no chance. Qin's traps are sharp, but my subordinates are not vegetarians. I want to see which side is more sharp." Ji Wuye thinks of the alliance of other countries, and there is A bit of faith.

No matter how powerful the Qin State is, it is not an opponent of the six countries united. The worst is life and death. The Qin State has not developed, and they all invade Xianyang and divide the sweet potato seeds.

At the same time, the capital cities of Yan, Chu, and Qi made up their minds and sent spies to some quiet farms in Qin to seek sweet potato seeds.Everyone has given a death order, must obtain sweet potato seeds, and must unite with other countries to deal with Qin's traps.

Some countries even think that Qin is asking for trouble. Although it is the largest country, confronting the six countries is no different from courting death.

A large number of masters were caught before entering Hangu Pass, and each of them was executed in secret, which caused the heartache of the Six Kingdoms the most.These are all top-notch masters. I didn't expect the people of Qin to be so shameless. They followed them secretly and asked the shopkeeper to drug them.

Except for the first batch, the following groups of spies completely lost contact when they entered the vicinity of Qin's farm, and they had obviously been dismissed by the Qin people.The Six Kingdoms not only sighed, Qin's trap was just replaced by Zhao Gao, but they did not expect that it was so sharp that it could deal with the spies of the Six Kingdoms.

Now, they found that no matter how hard they tried, they could not get Qin's sweet potato seeds, and even the hair could not be seen.

The six nations are impatient, ready to use the power of the army, no matter how strong the farm is, it will be vulnerable to the combined army of the six nations, just like a chicken and a dog.The mentality of all parties is very active, and they actively communicate with each other without even needing to pay attention. They are already united.

The three kingdoms of Han, Zhao and Wei were the first to unite to expose Qin's monopoly on sweet potato seeds, which was against the law of heaven.

Although these three countries have revealed their alliance, facing the current Qin State, they still lack confidence and feel very guilty.

But at this moment, the state of Chu revealed that it wanted to enter the alliance of Han, Zhao and Wei.At the same time, Qi State also entered into peace talks to fight against Tyranny.A few forces among the philosophers, such as the Mohists, chose to join the Anti-Qin Alliance, and they must obtain sweet potato seeds.

Under the persuasion of Qi State, Yan State let go of his hatred towards Zhao State and chose to join the Anti-Qin Alliance.

But the Six Nations Alliance has just been established, Qin has a new notification, Lu Buwei sent people to spread the news: "Qin is not trying to monopolize sweet potatoes, but because Qin was the first to dig sweet potatoes, it should get a part of the profits. The current sweet potatoes It can be sold to other countries at half of the food cost of environmental trends, and it is hoped that all parties will remain calm and not be blinded by interests."

After the Six Nations learned the news, they were very suspicious and did not respond for a while.South Korea, on the other hand, was the first to fall into Qin's arms, and took the lead in revealing: "The people of Qin should reap great rewards from discovering the sacred sweet potato, and it is understandable to gain benefits. Since the Qin State has agreed to sell dried sweet potatoes, why not just treat it as if nothing happened." "."

Soon, South Korea revealed the practice of withdrawing from the Six Nations Alliance and discussing Qin.

Zhao Guo also hesitated, although last time he attacked Yan State and gained a piece of land, his vitality was also seriously injured. Now he is attacking Qin State, but he has no facilities.

After a heated discussion, Zhao Guo gave the answer: "The price of dried sweet potatoes given by Qin State is very fair, and did not make much profit. Zhao Guo agreed with Qin State and withdrew from the alliance."

As soon as Zhao Guo withdrew, Yan Guo immediately refused to agree. If he fought with Qin Guo and hurt him a little, wouldn't Zhao Guo run over like a thief to ask for land?

Therefore, Yan State also revealed: "This time, I misunderstood Qin State's plan. Yan State hereby apologizes to Qin State and resumes trade with Qin State. Since then, Yan State has withdrawn from the alliance."

Qi Guo saw that Qin Guo was willing to sell dried sweet potatoes, and there were only three countries left, so he couldn't beat Qin at all.

"Qi State is happy to make an agreement with Qin State to jointly carry out the business of dried sweet potatoes, but it is hoped that Qin State can keep its promise." Qi State disclosed in this way.

Seeing this, the State of Wei thought something was wrong. The court was always saying that they wanted peace talks. The truth was that the dried sweet potatoes could be stored.

In the end, there was only one state of Chu left in the alliance.

The state of Chu became impatient, and all the people ran away, so what's the point of fighting? There was no need to fight, and they simply said that they were in harmony with Qin's actions, and even praised Qin.

For this, Lu Buwei was very happy, and resolved a crisis for the Qin State in a few words, otherwise, I really don't know what these guys will do.

Lu Buwei once again asked people to negotiate with the six states, put forward new conditions, and signed an agreement with them.

The main contents of the agreement are:

There are necessary conditions for purchasing dried sweet potatoes. For example, South Korea needs to provide iron ore to Qin, Yan and Zhao need to provide war horses to Qin, and other countries also need to provide Qin with tools, which are all urgently needed things.

Moreover, there is a special note that the currency of Qin State must be used.

In this regard, Liuguo said that it was no big deal. The dried sweet potatoes were only half of the trend price, so the transaction was equivalent to earning [-]% profit each time.Some people even laughed at Qin for being too stupid to make half of the trend price of the environment.

Even a few vigilant ministers grew up in fear of Qin, but they were soon overwhelmed.

Qin is growing, and other countries are also growing. What is sold to Qin are some extra items that those countries don't need. Wouldn't it be a better choice to get some dried sweet potatoes?

As for the last item, because they were so happy, they didn't think it was dangerous at all, and they didn't take it seriously.Some people even think that Qin Guo is afraid that he will not be able to spend the money he has made.

As soon as this statement came out, it immediately aroused the alarm of the six countries and ridiculed the stupidity of the Qin people.

But Lu Buwei knows that this is the real key point. These princes and nobles are all scholar-bureaucrats, and few of them have passed the business war.

Scholars, farmers, businessmen, businessmen are at the last level, and they have never studied trade at all. The more profitable businessmen, the more they feel that these people are humble, vulgar, shameless, and incomparably contemptible. Otherwise, they would probably make so much profit.

In the eyes of many people, businessmen only make so much money by manipulating prices time and time again by swindling and deceiving.Therefore, many ancients looked down on businessmen, and sometimes big businessmen can't even match the status of a tolerance.

Therefore, Liu Guo didn't have much warning psychology, but thought it was very reasonable. After all, Lu Buwei is a big philistine.

"They definitely don't know that the minting of coins has been strangled by the state of Qin. After a while, it will be broken down again, but Guan Zengjin has no choice but to be strangled to death by the state of Qin, and even stretched his neck." Lu Buwei Looking at the starry sky, he said lightly.

This method was taught to him by Ying Zhengjiao. Lu Buwei was a smart man and could figure it out quickly, and he quickly understood that this was the real trump card.The dried sweet potatoes are just a disguise. In fact, the undercurrent is surging, there are many rocks, and the waves are rolling, making it extremely dangerous.

"The prince is really a strange person, he even knows this method, maybe, he also knows how many stars there are in the sky." Lu Buwei was deeply moved, feeling the cold wind, his body felt extremely cold for the first time, very penetrating.

"Master, put on your clothes!" Lu Buwei's daughter-in-law came over and added a sable fur coat to him.

Lu Buwei turned around and asked, "Do you know how many stars there are?"

The woman was startled, not knowing what Lu Buwei was talking about.

Since then, Lu Buwei has been preparing for a long time to sell the latest dried sweet potatoes. Because the road is dangerous and difficult, he added another batch of freight.

The states of Zhao and Wei are relatively close to the state of Qin, and the shipping cost is not too much. In addition, there is an urgent need for dried sweet potatoes, so there is no objection. I think it is reasonable for Qin to do this.

However, Qi State quit. He and Qin State go to the east and west, and the transportation cost is very high. Originally, dried sweet potatoes were half of the grain price, but now it is about [-]%, a full [-]% loss. This is a waste of money. .

The State of Yan also disagreed, charging the highest transportation fee, and fiercely opposed the State of Qin. After the objection, it continued to purchase dried sweet potatoes.

The truth is that this dried sweet potato is much cheaper than the cost of food, and I finally made a profit, and people in other countries are buying dried sweet potato. If the country of Yan does not buy it, its national power will not be comparable to those countries, and it will soon be in danger of being wiped out. .

Qi State is well aware of this truth, and has kept silent one after another, continuing to purchase dried sweet potatoes as food reserves, or to improve customs.

Ying Zheng ignored the objections of these countries, because they knew that these countries were just objecting and would not lose their sense.What you want to buy will eventually be bought. After all, this is the trend.

In the palace of Qin State,

King Zhuangxiang of Qin gathered Yingzheng, Lu Buwei, and Zhang Yi to have a banquet to congratulate the great victory.

"Now the dried sweet potatoes have become popular, and the purchase desires of all countries are very strong. When the Qi State shouted, they secretly sent me a letter, saying that they want to give more dried sweet potatoes, and they will all buy them." King Zhuangxiang of Qin said happily. After the dried sweet potato incident, his prestige in Qin increased again.

"The treasury's silver is now one cart after another. Iron ore, war horses, silk and other materials are also available. Now it can't hold it. Several ministers have asked me to ask the king to expand the treasury." Lu Buwei said with a smile. .

"With these materials, Qin can further develop its power. Otherwise, air relations will be useless, and it must be turned into an army. Only in this way can it deter other countries." Zhang Yi said happily.

"Not only that, but Qin State has strangled the economic lifeblood of all countries through dried sweet potatoes. As long as Qin State interrupts the supply, the countries will collapse. When the time comes, we will let us divide." Ying Zheng chuckled. One Road.

"Even if they unite again at that time, how long can they persist without the support of food?" King Qin Zhuangxiang said.

"Your Majesty, all countries should store food. They must have a plan. If Qin State stops the dried sweet potatoes, they will jointly attack us." Lu Buwei interrupted, "But this is not our real purpose. Through the sale of dried sweet potatoes, Qin State If the national strength of Qin has been completely increased, other countries have improved, but they are definitely not Qin's opponents."

"The prime minister is right." King Zhuangxiang of Qin sarcastically said, not upset because of being interrupted by Lu Buwei, "It's because I understand the error."

"Now Zhang Yi has a strategy that can further expand the advantages brought by dried sweet potatoes, which is to promise Qi to give them more dried sweet potatoes, and Yan also agrees. In this case, it will definitely provoke internal conflicts among the six countries." Zhang Yi smiled coldly.

"If you do this, firstly, it can be regarded as giving them favor, and secondly, you can gain more benefits. The last point is the most important thing, which is to provoke them and make them fight among themselves." Ying Zheng nodded and said, Zhang Yi is really extraordinary, which he did not expect.

As a businessman, Lu Buwei naturally understood the situation in the six countries, and said: "The six countries seem to be monolithic, but in fact they are not, but there are conflicts between them. For example, the country of Yan and the country of Qi, Le Yi led troops to fight against each other. After crossing Qi State, it almost wiped out Qi State. Chu State fought with Qi State Wei Capital, and there is a lot to do here.”

"Secretly increase the amount of sweet potatoes for them. If other countries don't agree, what should we do if we go to Qin together? At that time, these countries will unite again, which will be quite a problem." Qin Zhuangxiang frowned.

"It doesn't matter. It's time to simply shirk it. In other words, the Qin State gave so much, and you distribute it yourself. You must know that these dried sweet potatoes represent nothing but can be converted into the army." Zhang Yi said without hesitation.

"At that time, there will definitely be internal fighting and quarrels, and no one will agree with the other. After the conflict reaches its limit, it will definitely be fighting. They don't want to see these countries grow stronger, but they are at a disadvantage." Lu Buwei said softly.
