After Spring and Autumn

Chapter 148 The character of the profiteer
Three days later, Yi Dun hurried back to Meng Yi, and asked Meng Di as soon as he met him.

"How much of this wine have you brewed in total? Recently, I've been short of money. Is there anything you can do?"

As soon as Yi heard it, he knew that the opportunity to show his talents had come, and his face showed excitement.

"Reporting to my lord, nearly a hundred altars of wine have been brewed. If my lord is in urgent need of money, then I can give my subordinates a month to sell all the wine."

When Mengdi heard this time, he shook his head slowly and asked hopefully.

"Can the time be shortened? After all, the money is used to buy horses. If the horses come back too soon, too late to tame them, or even let the soldiers below get along with them well, they won't be able to handle them well in battle. "

When he heard that he was buying a horse, Yi Dun laughed and said confidently.

"Since things like this are simpler, the subordinates can bring these wines and rush directly to the country of Yan. At that time, they can offer them to the King of Yan. At the same time, they can exchange horses with them, but I don't know how many horses the lord needs? "

That's an idea, Meng Di expressed it immediately.

"If you can do this well, then I will give you a great credit. As for the horses, the more the better, you can buy as many as you have, but this time you can't take the route of Qi, it is best to go Jin country."

Regarding Meng Di's instruction, Yi Dun didn't care about it, with a confident smile on his face.

"My lord will not only take a lot of risks to do this, but also whether the horses can reach the country of Lu smoothly is also a problem. After all, the number of horses my lord needs is too large, and my subordinates have a good idea."

"Now that we have good wine in our hands, we can offer an altar to each of the surrounding princes and kings, and at the same time release the news that the lord has good wine here, but there is a shortage of horses."

"In this way, those merchants will definitely sell the horses to Mengyi when they get the news. At that time, we will just lose some fine wine. Not only can we reduce the loss on the road, but we can also take the opportunity to lower the price of the horses."

Hearing this, Meng Di looked at Yi Dun again and again. This idea is quite good, but it is not good enough. The so-called scarcity is the most expensive thing. If all the merchants in the world sell horses to Mengyi .

At that time, Meng Yi had the final say on how many horses to exchange for a pot of wine, which made him sigh with emotion that this Yidun really had the potential to be a profiteer.

His eyes stared at Yi Dun, which made him feel a little weak in his heart, so he asked in a low voice.

"My lord, do you think this idea is not feasible? Or do you have other concerns."

At this time, Mengdi stood up and walked in front of him, stretched out his hand and slapped him heavily.

"You really have the talent for doing business, so I will give you full authority to take charge of this matter. If there are any expenses or the like, you don't have to report to me. I only look at the results. As long as the horses can reach Mengyi smoothly, The credit is yours."

It's just that Meng Di's good mood didn't last long. Ten days later, he received a message that there was a movement on Qi's side, and Wei Guo's side immediately dealt with Bei Gong's family, and at the same time sent a second wave of envoys .

The reaction speed was too fast, Mengdi smelled a conspiracy, and he couldn't help but think of the beautiful woman he met in Chaoge, wondering if this matter had something to do with her?
Song of the Wei Dynasty.

Duke Wei Ling, who got what he wanted, has a big heart. He is not a person who just sits and waits to die. If he finds someone who may threaten him, he must deal with it in time, which is beneficial to both parties.

But at this time, Wei Linggong received a superstition from Fan Yang, which immediately hit his good mood.

The content of the letter is very simple, that is to send troops to Zheng Guo, the reason is that Zheng Guo did not obey the order of Jin State, and destroyed Xu State privately.

Wei Linggong took the letter and read it several times, and his face became more and more ugly. He had just reached an agreement with Qi Guo and Zheng Guo in private, and Fan Yang wrote the letter right now.

This shows that the scheming Fan Yang has already guessed Zheng Guo's plan, so writing a letter at this time is to let Wei Linggong make a choice. From the heart, Wei Linggong is very clear in his heart. The state of Jin can't resist the state of Jin at all.

However, the various practices of the Jin State are really shameless, but the Qi State is now showing great sincerity, so he is very embarrassed for a while.

Nanzi beside him stretched out his hand to take the letter, and laughed after reading it.

"Why should your king be so distressed? Isn't the state of Qi already prepared to attack the state of Wei? Just at this time we can mobilize troops to the border of the state of Qi, and the king can write a letter at that time."

"Tell Fan Xianzi that now Wei Guo is too busy to protect itself and is unable to send troops to Zheng Guo. Wouldn't this mean that both sides will not be offended? Moreover, there has been news recently that Yang Hu of Lu State is actively mobilizing troops. It is obvious that he is preparing to respond to Jin. country's orders."

"At this time, the best way for us is to wait. If the state of Lu returns home in defeat this time, but the state of Jin has nothing to say, then even if the king falls to the state of Qi, the state of Jin will have nothing to do with the king."

When Wei Linggong heard this, a smile appeared on his face, and he nodded slightly.

"That's a good idea. Since this is the way to immediately order the troops of Weiguo to start to assemble, and at the same time, this king will also write a letter to Qihou to explain the situation. This Fan Xianzi is worthy of the name of how wise he is. This is a danger he is aware of."

But when Nanzi heard this, he covered his mouth and smiled lightly, with a look of disdain on his face.

"Fan Xianzi is very old now, and Fan Jishe is a greedy and cruel person. If this situation continues, the Fan family will definitely be a thorn in the side of the other five princes of the Jin Kingdom, and a new civil strife will break out in the Jin Kingdom. "

"Otherwise, why would so many vassal states turn to Qi State, or even Chu State, the more we have to keep our eyes open at this time, otherwise, it will bring disaster to Wei State."

Duke Ling of Wei thought so deeply, he stretched out his hand to pick up the wine bowl, took a sip every time, and said with some emotion.

"This Meng Di is indeed a strange person. I didn't expect to be able to brew such fine wine. It's really surprising."

At this time, Nanzi's face showed a gloomy look, and then he smiled charmingly, and suggested.

"I heard that Mengdi started to exchange wine for horses in Mengyi, why didn't the king send someone to buy some fine wine?"
