The essence of the court discussion is to prepare for war. Only by preparing for war first can you have the strength to save Zhao. However, after all, it was Chu and Yue who jointly solved the problem of harvesting grain. The bamboo standing in the court represented its tribe suddenly inserted a problem: Why do you have to take grain for three years, but not for two years?

"After three years of farming, the remaining food for a year, the number of animals for three years is increased by nine years, the number of animals for three years is accumulated by eighteen years, and the number of animals for nine years is accumulated by twenty-seven years, and the number of storage for nine years is increased by nine years. Even if the disasters are caused by drought, the people will not be trapped in poverty and exile. If there is no animal for nine years in my country, it is called insufficient; if there is no animal for six years is called sympathy; if there is no animal for three years, it is called poverty.

It is also said: If the army of Shiyi is not responsible for the three things, then the crop will be destroyed by one. If the crop is destroyed by one, it will be accumulated because of the accumulation. If the army of Shiyi is not solved for three years, it will not be surplus food, so the people will have to sell their children."

Bonan, who was in charge of Gaoku, said calmly, trying to make the Yue people who were not very skilled in Chu Yu understand it. Zhu is a young man, and Chu Yu learned it very quickly. After Bonan finished speaking, he said: "The crops are one-third, one-year-old is one-year-old, and only one-year-old grain is less than one year, so why do you need three years of grain?"

"Haha..." Someone suddenly laughed, and then many people laughed.

"I don't know it either." Xiong Jing was a little displeased. He didn't want to see the Chu people laugh at the Yue people. "Please help Boqing solve his doubts."

Xiong Jing's words calmed the scene. Bonan bowed and said, "Report to the king, one of the three dead crops is indeed as Yue ministers said, and it is a year of destruction. However, people who do not work eat a lot of millet. Ordinary people eat one and a half stones a month, and in a month, they need to eat three stones. There are cattle and horses in the army, and the transportation is short. People who do not work need to consume grains a year a year, and three years of millet will be consumed in three years. Although the rest are plowing crops, the farms are all old and weak women, and there are no cattle and horses. After three years, the crops will die in two. Therefore, it is said that if there is no grain for three years, it cannot be a three-year battle."

Three out of ten people are responsible for combat and logistics. If you double your appetite, you will consume 6 out of ten corn. In addition, you will transport cattle and horses. This does take a year of corn. If the food transport is too far, it may be more than one year of corn.

The situation of the Chu army was transported by water, but twenty people and each carriage were arranged with the military carriage, plus the animals needed for short-distance transportation, and the cavalry being established in each county and town, it was equivalent to making up for the animals needed for subtracted land transportation.

"Zhuqing, can you tell if you have three years of millet?" Xiong Jing asked the puzzled bamboo.

"I'm aware of it." Zhu smiled awkwardly. He didn't expect that his problem would bring Xiong Jing in.

"Of course." Xiong Jing nodded at him, and then looked at Bonan, "The State of Chu has not had a single army, because water transportation may not require a single force for transportation. After discussing with the Grand Sima Mansion, you will calculate the consumption of food and fodder for three years."

"Only." Bonan agreed. "I will discuss with the Grand Sima Mansion today, but I still want to advise the king that the heavens have changed greatly in recent years, especially Qin. In the third year of the Qin Dynasty, there was a great disaster and the people were famine. In the fourth year of the Qin Dynasty, there was a locust and a great epidemic in July; in the fifth year of the Qin Dynasty, there was a locust and an epidemic in the fifth year of the Qin Dynasty, there was a great disaster; in the ninth year of the Qin Dynasty, there was a cold April, and most people were frozen to death; last year of the Qin Dynasty, there was a severe drought, and there was no rain in the Qin Dynasty from June to August.

The great disaster three years ago of King Zheng of Qin was a great famine in Shangjun twenty-five years ago. Going forward, there was no big famine, just floods and earth moves..."

"Is this true?" Xiong Jing did not pay attention to the disasters in recent years. Now, when he heard Bonan say that, he immediately became concerned.

"I'm sorry to the king, that's it." The Right Historian came out and replied. "This is the heaven that abandoned Qin."

"The heaven abandons Qin." The ministers chewed these four words, and the more they thought about it, the more they felt it made sense.

"King, the sky has indeed abandoned Qin, but I think I should accumulate more grain for a year." Bonan is a safe person. In recent years, natural disasters have been frequent. He is worried that when will the Chu State have a natural disaster, and all the grains are accumulated and all the food is eaten, so the common people will starve to death.

"No." Xiong Jing nodded and said, "In this way, you can only fight with the Qin people again if you accumulate grain for four years?"

"Report to the king, it takes nine years for grain to be in four years." Sun Yu replied.

"Only you can fight the Qin people in nine years?" Xiong Jing's heart skipped a beat, "The State of Zhao is destroyed."

"The shortest one is seven years," Sun Yu replied again. His previous calculations were taken into account the size of the year and the disaster year. If these were subtracted, it would take more than seven years, and it would be considered as seven years.

"Seven years?" Xiong Jing calculated again in his heart, thinking that it was still too late. The Qin State's first attack lasted for three years, and the second attack lasted for five years, and the second attack was in the sixth year. Now that Qi State is not a alliance, he will save it again in the eighth year. Can Zhao State really last until then?

"It takes seven years." Sun Yu nodded. This is the shortest estimate, and there will be no more.

"I heard that the Wei State has 30 million s of grain per year, and the Qi people buy 20 million s of stones per year..." Xiong Jingyouyou said, but he knew that this was unrealistic. The Chu State's own corn wheat can be purchased by minting coins, and the Wei State's corn will have real money and silver. Unless..., do real estate in the North City of Daliang and speculate the housing prices to tens of thousands of dollars per square meter, so that a large amount of Chu State's currency can flow into the Daliang housing market?

Xiong Jing was really fantastic, but then he thought, isn’t Daliang Beicheng the concession or the capital of Wei State? If those Wei officials want to move to Chu, why not buy a house in Daliang Beicheng, each house is sold for dozens of gold, ranging from hundreds of gold. If they can sell tens of thousands of households, there will be hundreds of thousands of gold.

The king was distracted, and the ministers in the court did not pay attention. They were mainly thinking about what to do in seven years, whether to save Zhao or not?

Saving Zhao has the benefits of saving Zhao, and not saving Zhao also has the benefits of not saving Zhao. Saving Zhao, Qin has one more enemy, and Chu has one more potential helper; if Zhao does not save Zhao, Qin has become stronger after occupying Zhao, and it turns out that it is half of the world. After destroying Zhao, it will occupy two-thirds of the world - don't forget that Zhao and Yan are connected; and there is horses. Once Qin has occupied Zhao, the source of the horses of Chu will be cut off, and Hu Shang cannot trade.

"Report to the king, I think I should save Zhao after I accumulate grain. If I don't save it, I will have no horses." Cheng Jie and others bowed and said, this was their opinion.

"The king, I think I should save Zhao." Peng Li, who had previously fiercely opposed Zhao from Lanshe League, also agreed to save Zhao.

"The king and the ministers also think that they need to save Zhao, otherwise the world will overturn and Chu will be in danger." Zuo Kai and the great elder Song also agreed to save Zhao.

"King, save Zhao Dang cut off the southern route of the Qin army." Xiang Yan didn't say anything. He tried to wait until the ministers expressed his attitude before saying it. "I asked the envoy Zhao to inform Zhao..."

"I think I should not tell the people of Zhao." Naojiu opposed. "There are many Qin marquis in Zhao State, and Zhao Zhi is Qin Zhi, which is not true."

"The king may be able to implement the strategy of Sun Bin." Zhaoshu said it very obscurely, but the meaning is very clear: take the opportunity to recover the old Ying.

"The king is the best friend." Xiang Yan did not agree with Zhao Shu's opinion. "In the past, Sun Bin attacked Wei and saved Zhao, but failed to save Zhao, but the Wei army attacked Handan and retreated to the country. If this strategy is adopted, it can be achieved to restore the old Ying, but it can be achieved to save Zhao."

"Oh." Xiong Jing couldn't help but look at Xiang Yan a few more times. It was not appropriate to discuss the strategy in the court. He said: "This will be handed over to the Grand Sima Mansion for planning in advance, and we will discuss it later."

After Xiong Jing finished speaking to Xiang Yan, he looked at the ministers and said, "What else is there to do after discussing this matter?"

"Please don't let the people of Qi go." Dongye Gu took the lead and bowed, talking about Qi.

When it comes to Qi, they will naturally talk about the marriage alliance between the two countries. Xiong Jing's attitude is very clear. He will no longer marry the princess of Qi as his queen, but will not break off diplomatic relations with Qi and maintain general diplomatic relations. Dongye Gu and others insist on marrying the princess of Qi, believing that this is one of the means to win over Qi.

However, Qi State was not attracted by Chu State from beginning to end. Qi people who called the Eastern Emperor even looked down on the Chu people and regarded Chu language as the Southern Barbarians. Some people care about the psychological superiority of Qi people, while others don’t care. Xiong Jing didn’t think Qi people were too proud. He just didn’t want to marry the daughter of a cowardly king, and didn’t want his son to be infected with the habit of cowardly.

Marriage is a major event in life. Apart from Mi Xuan, he has never met any other woman he has moved. If he really wants to choose one of the women he has seen, it is naturally Mi Xuan. Mi Xi from Fu Jian is also very good. Unfortunately, the same father is the same, and the Wei girl Gongsun Yan, who is forced.

The court was in chaos, and Cheng Jie and others who opposed the continued marriage with Qi State had a fierce argument with Higashino Gu and others who supported the continued marriage with Qi State. The reason why Cheng Jie and others opposed it was very simple, that is, they believed that Qi State was another Zhao State. If Qin State attacked Qi after marriage, they would seek help from Chu. If they did not rescue, Chu State would fall into a passive human ethics.

On the other hand, Qin will not save Chu Qi when he attacked Chu Qi. This has been proved. Even if the King of Qi agrees, the people of Qi will not save it. This has been proved. Since Qi and Chu can only achieve such a mutual trade relationship, why do you need to marry? As long as both parties abide by the Muling Pass Alliance and maintain diplomatic friendship.

Cheng Jie and others' reasons are different from Xiong Jing, which is a realistic consideration. Such consideration is completely correct. The marriage between kings is a diplomatic means, but this means cannot be used frequently. In many cases, it can only be used once, because there is only one queen. Since marriage cannot make the diplomatic relations between Qi and Chu further, there is no need to waste this opportunity on Qi.

"Don't Jing'er want to marry Qi people?" The matter that was not completely confirmed in the court, Zhao Fei heard about it the next day. After Xiong Jing greeted her, she had dinner together. Concubine Zhao specifically talked about this matter.

"Of course." Xiong Jing's chopsticks were hanging in the air, and he forgot to mention this to Concubine Zhao. "Please forgive me for your sins."

"It's better not to marry a daughter of Qi." Concubine Zhao smiled. "When Jing'er had not married the State of Qi, the envoy Zhao mentioned to me that Princess Yingnan, she was one year younger than you..."

"Mother Queen." Unexpectedly, Concubine Zhao talked about Princess Zhao, and Mi Qi kept laughing next to her. "Jing'er is still young..."

"Haha." Mi Yu laughed even more happily. "It's still young, and everyone outside the palace said that Brother Wang had a lucky girl in Wei."

"This is a false thing." Xiong Jing glared at her.

"Jing'er." Concubine Zhao said again. "You are the king of Chu and have taken charge of the government. The marriage should be decided early."

"Mother!" Xiong Jing was anxious, "Qin State is launching a large-scale Zhao State, if it is marrying Zhao State..."
