Chapter 27 Harm
‘The rich family smells of wine and meat, and there are frozen bones on the road’, probably like this. The ministers dispersed and looked at the two Feixun-like bills. Xiong Jing didn’t know how to think of Du Fu’s two lines of poetry. He was very frugal. Although he didn’t eat less eggs every day like Guangxu, he no longer slaughtered calfs every day, and often stewed a few chickens and ducks.
Mother Queen, Mi Xuan, and what about Ying Nan, spending 37,000 yuan is really scary. This money can build forty-six Taotie-class freight sea boats, or twenty-three Chaos-class gunboats. Two flybys came, and more than four fleets were sunk.
"Thirty-seven thousand golds have been paid?" Thinking of the four fleets being sunk, Xiong Jing no longer remained silent.
"Report to the king, it's not paid." Shi Zhi still cried, "But Hu Dansozhi has already reported it, and the things sold will not be returned."
"No more return?" Xiong Jing frowned his eyebrows. "Is it not a seven-day return?"
"No." Shi Zhi said. "I told you about the previous year that the items sold cannot be returned for seven days. I want to return to Ying to deal with this matter. If Hu Dansao does not retreat..."
"So what if you don't retreat? It's known to everyone in the whole country?" Xiong Jing asked. "That's it. Just make your mother happy, Xuan'er will be happy."
"King, this is 37,000 gold!" The amount is really huge. Shi Yaozhen didn't understand what treasure the queen had bought, and it actually spent half a year on the Chu State's tax. "Hu Shang has always been cunning, so he must not give the price at that time, and let the queen, queen, and Princess Yingnan take it themselves, and then ask for a huge price. I... "
Shi Zhi felt heartbroken and regretted that he was not in Shouying. If he was in Shouying, such a thing would never have happened.
"What's the point of going to Ying?" Xiong Jing was most worried about the matter. Although this was Wang Ting's money, Wang Ting spent so much money to buy Hu Shang's treasures during the war, it would definitely arouse hatred by the Chinese people.
The Chu State, which implemented the contracting system, did not greatly improve the lives of the common people. It was originally spent on officials, and most of the money was wasted by officials was spent on military and training. The common people were still poor. Although the soldiers of the army could eat meat, many people still had their families. Their hope was to become famous scholars and change their destiny and their whole family.
"King, what if the Hu people spread this matter in the future?" Shi Zhi was unyielding. "The Queen Mother, the Queen is not aware of it, and the Hu merchants in the middle are cunning. If the people of the country really hear this, they will hate the Hu merchants rather than the Queen Mother and the Queen. Since they are the ministers and are in charge of the Grand Mansion, they will not pay 37,000 gold to the Hu merchants."
What Shi Zhi said was not unreasonable, but when he thought that this time the wedding was the first time, Xiong Jing was hesitant again.
"Master, please give up." Xiong Jing's hesitation did not shake Shi Zhi. He bowed to the queen and went out on his own. Xiong Jing wanted to stop watching him out, but this matter was related to the mother and Mi Xuan. If he came forward, he would definitely hurt the mother and son, and the relationship between the husband and wife. If Shi Gui refused to pay as a Sihui, he insisted on returning the goods, otherwise he would insist that Hu Danshu was deceived and deceived. He would be the one who took the blame alone, and the matter might be properly resolved. But if the mother and Mi Xuan were unhappy, he would lose face.
Thinking of this, Xiong Jing couldn't help but feel a little angry with the current administrative system of Chu. What's wrong with the Ao system, and what kind of bullshit newspapers are there? The Ao system restricts its own rights, and newspapers supervise their words and deeds. Both of them are trapped and shot themselves in the foot. The Chu State now has a group of lawsuits and collects a lot of folks. These people sued this and exposed that. The most terrifying thing is that the two have a tendency to join forces. They are hostile to the Zhu family and the Yushi.
In Jiangling City, Xiong Jing regretted that he had run Ao's newspapers. His knowledge was very effective. Just one day later, the news of the Great Chu published in Linzi published a strange story in the State of Chu: Queen Mother Chu and the son of Mi spent 37,000 yuan to buy the treasure of Hu Shang.
"How is this?" Looking at the black letters on the front page, Revang's first feeling was that he didn't believe it. He knew that the palace had always been frugal, so how could he spend so much money to buy the treasure of Hu Shang? What treasure does Hu Shang have?
"Young Master, everyone in Linzi City is discussing this matter, saying that Hu Shang has a treasure, and his face will last forever after being subdued, and will never grow old in spring and autumn." Qu Guang's servants were not only servants, but also the duties of documents.
"This is all illusory, who believes it?" After that Immortal Medicine, Vulcan no longer believed what Hu Shang and Hu people said. "Does someone want to harm the Queen Mother and the Princess Mi?"
"This..." The word "harm" is used quite heavily, and the servants dare not imagine anyone who dares to harm the Queen Mother and the Queen.
"Don't you know?" Qu Guang actually didn't know, but the news of the Great Chu of Qi State put this news on the front page without any scruples. This is really contrary to the common sense. Whether it is Chu, Qi, Zhao, or Wei State, they will not directly report the hidden affairs of the King of Kings. Wang Ting is the King of Kings, and the common people are the common people. It is very rude to expose the hidden affairs of the King of Kings to the common people's attention. Only when facing enemy countries, such as Qin State, will the news of the Great Chu State publish the misfortune between Lu Buwei, Lao Ai and the Queen Mother of Qin Zhao Ji.
The idea of refractive power was only a moment, and soon his thinking returned to the idea of asking Qi to save Zhao. He did not agree with the idea of knowing what the Secretary said about the Qi army being defeated. After the reform, Qi State still had different intentions. This is the root cause of the easy collapse of the Qi army.
After forming an alliance with Chu, the increasingly prosperous trade increased the surplus of Qi and greatly improved the lives of the common people. But for this reason, the Qi towns had no time to prepare military equipment and military training. In order to make money, even the officials of the county were unwilling to rule the common people to train for one month and fight for one month in March. Military equipment and military training were always expensive. Common people also had to bring their own dry food to the assembly site and buy armor, which was also expensive. The Qi people did not buy the Chu State's giant armor, but liked to buy their own iron armor, but it was still because of money.
The reforms lifted the coercive power of the King of Qi, but the Linzi court did not establish new coercive power. No one of the officials in the universe obeyed each other. The entire Qi State was a mess, which was also the reason why Qi State was reluctant to save Zhao. Yingdu asked him to persuade the people of Qi to save Zhao within a few days, which was almost an incomplete task.
"I've seen the king. I've seen the father." The palace was in the middle of the palace, and the King of Qi Tian Jian looked at Concubine Li and his daughter Kejia with a smile. Kejia was wearing the same Susa-style gold jewelry, and the fragrance was also unique. This was not the taste that was originally found in the world.
"Yeah, the Hu people are outstanding." The reason why Hu Dansazhi brought so many jewelry and rouge was actually at Tian Jian's request. His daughter was grown up and his wedding date with the King of Chu was close, so he had to prepare early.
"Then the young lady Mi also bought Hu people's jewelry and rouge." Concubine Li was a little uneasy. As a mother, she hoped her daughter would be happy. The palace is a world without much emotion, and whether happiness or not is often dependent on appearance.
"What's the worry about this?" Tian Jian didn't care. His daughter looked like Concubine Li, but she was not bad in appearance, but she was more critical. "Kejia is my princess of Qi, and then Mi Xuan..." He shook his head, "I am just a young lady, how can she compare with Kejia?"
"Father." Kejia was shy when Tian Jian said it. She heard very early that Mi Xuan looked like "the fish went deeper when they saw it, the birds flew high when they saw it, and the elk suddenly when they saw it." But she was very handsome, but she was not a stunning beauty who was fascinating to the whole country.
"The King of Chu is young and does not care about food and sex, but does not know how to treat people. It is like wars, wood, gold, iron, and great. The gold is still bright over time, and the color is dark over time. However, is it not as good as gold? The beauty of a man is virtue; the beauty of a woman is in the heart. How can it be less than a girl?" The maternal sect of her daughter, and the girl is red personally supervised by Tian Jian, and Mi Xuan, who was born in the female princess, could not compare with her at all.
"Kejia went out, my mother had something to do with your father..." When Tian Jian was talking, Concubine Li suddenly remembered something. She sent her daughter away and then shook the people around her back. Then she said: "King, I heard that Chu wanted to send Qi to save Zhao. If he didn't want to, he would be defeated. When he joined Zhao Bucheng, the King of Chu said that he would break the engagement. Today, he saved Zhao Bucheng, and Kejia's marriage..."
The divorce has been a problem for a while, and the cause is the same as now, because of Zhao State. It was the first to join Zhao, but now it is to save Zhao. Concubine Li was worried that the King of Chu would like to break the engagement again.
"I broke up with Zhao when I was not in charge of my relationship with him." Tian Jiandao. "Now the Qi State's politics was formed by the reform of the King of Chu. If the court does not save Zhao, what should I do with the marriage? If the King of Chu says to break off the engagement, I will definitely go to Yingdu."
Losing power is a very painful thing, but fortunately Tian Jian also has marijuana. If Xiong Jing pushes the issue of the Qi court on himself and affects his daughter's marriage, Tian Jian will be angry. He said this, and Concubine Li did not say this anymore. She turned to another thing: "I have heard that the King of Qin has deposed his descendants, and the Qin envoy wants to hire Ke Jiao as the Queen of Qin..."
"You!" Tian Jian glared at his beloved concubine, "The King of Qin killed his brother-in-law and beat the Queen of Qin. He was so terrible that he could let Ke Jia marry into the Qin Palace?"
"However, the King of Chu only loves the young master Mi, and actually went to the capital of the enemy country to welcome him in person. It is a pity that he married into the Chu Palace and others if he entered the cold palace." Concubine Li said aggrievedly.
"The king is very loving," Tian Jian lost his confidence just now. He was just an old father. "It's commendable good. The King of Chu will know over time. So what can you worry about? It's the diplomatic relationship between Qi and Chu..."

"It's not kind to be rich, it's not kind to be rich, it's not kind to be rich!" Linzi's court was in sight, and the court had already ended. However, because of the matter of saving Zhao, Qi's prime minister did not allow the court officials to leave. At this time, a county doctor pointed to the headlines with the news of the Great Chu and shouted: "I actually used 37,000 gold to buy the treasure of the Hu people. Such an unrighteous King of Chu and an unrighteous Chu State, what is the intention of forcing me to save Zhao? It's all for my own personal gain.
If the State of Chu wants to save Zhao, why not send all the Chu troops to Handan to defeat Wang Jian? Otherwise, Xiang Yan of Chu only sent soldiers from the fourth division, with less than 30,000 soldiers, but our Qi sent 200,000 troops. Now we want to send all the boats and oars in the country to transport Zhao people. If the Zhao people go to Handan and Zhao will be destroyed, our Qi will be the first to be the first to cause disaster to Qi..."
"If I don't save Zhao, Chu people are the same as me, what should I do?" The noisy court discussions on Qi Xiangtian's vassal have long been accustomed to him. He just wants to solve the problem now.
