Great Qin Emperor

Chapter 146 The World Returns to One Tired Zhao's Plan ([-])

Zhou Chong helped him up and said, "Your Majesty, you are making a fool of a foreign minister."

Zhao Wang wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Mr. Zhou please give me a good plan!"

Zhou Chong didn't respond to his words, and said: "Zhou Chong has finished speaking, how to make a decision, please ask the king to make a decision, so that the foreign ministers can go back and explain to our king."

King Zhao gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, Du Kang will return to Qin. In addition, the year's taxes on the city of Yan State will belong to Qin." He is really sweet.

When this matter was reported, the King of Qin saw through Zhou Chong's intentions at a glance, and said with a smile: "This is Mr. Zhou's plan to exhaust Zhao. Mr. Zhou wants to consume Zhao's manpower, material and financial resources in the war with Yan. At that time, the widow will destroy Zhao, and the pressure will be relieved a lot. Of course, the widow will not give King Zhao a chance to become stronger. Mr. Zhou will try his best to do this, so that the widow will not plunder the beauty of others, and the tax for one year will be exempted. "

King Qin, like King Zhao, is also a lovely person. The icing on the cake makes Zhou Chong's strategy of exhausting Zhao perfect.

"Thank you, my lord." Zhou Chong went on to say another purpose of this trip, saying: "Your lord, Zheng Guoqu has been established in our country, and tens of thousands of hectares of fertile land have been added to Guanzhong. This farm tool is not enough. Our country heard that Zhao Guo has a lot of iron wares, so the bronze should be much less useful. The foreign minister wants to buy bronze from your country, and please ask the king to complete it."

During the Warring States period, iron smelting technology began to develop. At that time, fine iron was mainly used for casting weapons, and inferior iron was used for agricultural tools and other purposes.However, for technical reasons, bronze still holds the majority.Zhou Chong said that he didn't want bronze, but Zhao Guo's iron, which was just a foreshadowing.

King Zhao was not confused, he made a little calculation, and said: "Your country has tens of thousands of hectares of fertile land. It will be difficult for our country to take it out for a while. How about it, our country will convert the bronze into iron and sell it to your country. I wonder what Mr. Zhou wants?"

Relatively speaking, bronze is cheap and iron is expensive. If all bronze is given, it will be too much. If Qin uses it to make weapons, the problem will be serious.If it is converted into iron, the quantity will be much less. Even if the Qin State wants to make weapons, it will not be able to make many, and it will not hinder the overall situation. This is the plan of King Zhao.

However, he didn't know Zhou Chong's idea at all. Zhou Chong wanted to use iron to make the arrows of the crossbow, so the quantity would be too much. If King Zhao knew, he would have to jump off the building.

What Zhou Chong wanted was his words, but he hesitated for a moment before he said: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid it's not appropriate. Iron is certainly good, but the quantity is too small, and we can't make many farm tools. Please ask the King to complete it."

Whether it is to make agricultural tools or weapons, King Zhao can't ask. Of course, the less the better, he thinks he can do it, insisting: "Mr. Let’s settle it like this. If Mr. Zhou thinks it’s too little, I’ll send another [-] catties of fine iron to your country.”

When you want to sleep, if someone hands you a pillow, the feeling must be too good to say. Zhou Chong feels like this now. Now, thank you, Your Majesty!"

Zhou Chong's appetite was finally satisfied, Zhao Wang was also relieved, and said: "The country of brothers Qin and Zhao, no thanks, no thanks."

Zhou Chong pretended to be grateful, and said: "Your Majesty treats Zhou Chong well, and Zhou Chong dare not say a word."

King Zhao patted the back of Zhou Chong's hand and said, "Mr. Zhou, please tell me."

Zhou Chong glared at Guo Kai with dissatisfaction, and said, "Your Majesty, according to foreign ministers, it is better to leave the matter of road construction to General Li Mu. You must not let Guo Kai repair it, he is a villain."

Guo Kai and Zhou Chong had discussed it, and they wanted Guo Kai to take over the road construction, but Zhou Chong said that he could not be allowed to repair it. Guo Kai's eyes turned green, and he said, "Zhou Chong, you..."

"Shut up! Let Mr. Zhou finish speaking." King Zhao shouted.

Although Guo Kai had a lot to say, he couldn't.

"Mr. Zhou, why is Guo Kai a villain? Does he offend Mr. Zhou?" King Zhao asked a little confused.

Zhou Chong stared at Guo Kai with lingering anger, and said: "Your Majesty, Guo Kai did not offend any foreign ministers, but did offend my Majesty."

Offending King Qin is a serious crime. King Zhao's face turned green, and he shouted, "Guo Kai, kneel down."

Guo Kaixin turned the phone, thinking that he had not even seen King Qin's face, how could he have offended King Qin, knelt down and called Qu Qu: "Your Majesty, don't listen to Zhou Chong's nonsense, I haven't even seen King Qin's face."

Zhao Wang thought it was the same reason, his tone was a little slow, and said: "If you offend Qin Wang, I will make you look good."

Zhou Chong pointed to Guo Kai and asked, "Guo Kai, let me ask you, I gave you a thousand taels of gold, twenty pieces of pearls, and twenty pairs of white jade from the Great Qin King. Did you say contemptuously, 'Master Zhou? , Guo Kai is greedy, but he is not greedy for gold and silver. If you give Guo Kai a city, Guo Kai is willing to accept it on behalf of my king.'Guo Kai, tell me, is there such a thing?"

When Guo Kai heard that Zhou Chong revealed that he had accepted bribes from the Qin State, his heart jumped into his throat, and he almost fainted. It was not until Zhou Chong finished speaking that he realized that Zhou Chong was helping him, so he kowtowed to King Zhao, saying: " Your Majesty, I have said this, please punish me, my Majesty, and put me to death."

King Zhao pulled Guo Kai up, chuckled, and said: "Guo Aiqing, it's rare that you are so loyal. I didn't misjudge you, I didn't misjudge you. Come, I will pour you a glass of wine and reward you."

Guo Kai took the wine glass, thanked Zhao Wang, raised his head at Zhou Chong, pretended to be righteous, and drank it all in one gulp.He's also a sweet guy who knows what to do in a situation like this.

"Guo Aiqing, you have to worry about building the road." King Zhao decided to leave the road building to Guo Kai.

Guo Kai knelt down again, and said: "Your Majesty sees love, Guo Kai should do his best, but there are many opponents in the court, and there are people who don't listen to Guo Kai's command and intend to ruin Guo Kai, Your Majesty, you should choose someone else. "

Zhao Wang stood up and said: "Guo Kai, don't worry, if someone interferes, you will be punished." These words are like giving him full power.

Guo Kai burst into tears and was very moved. He said: "Your Majesty, even if your body is broken to pieces, it will be difficult for you to repay your kindness!"

In order to maximize the effect, Zhou Chong also wiped away his tears, and sighed with a look of emotion: "Your Majesty, the foreign ministers just understand why Zhao Guo can survive for decades under the attack of Qiang Qin. It’s because of the protection of a loyal minister like Guo Kai. He doesn’t accept gifts from foreign ministers, but also informs them so that they can see the king, what a loyal minister!”

King Zhao was very happy, he held Zhou Chong with his left hand, and Guo Kai with his right hand, and said: "Mr. Zhou, please don't argue with Guo Kai for my sake."

Zhou Chong kept saying he didn't dare.

A eunuch came in and reported to King Zhao: "Your Majesty Qizuo, General Li Mu is asking to see you."

King Zhao wanted to build roads and start a war against Yan, and he had to pass Li Mu's test. Zhou Chong changed his mind and thought that it was a good time. Li Mu's arrival just made him have to submit.
