Emperor Qin

Qi's ability to stay safe for 50 years without using weapons is actually largely dependent on Qin.

There is a strong Qin in the west of the Five Kingdoms, and the Qi State in the east can only go to Qin State's precious "distance and close attack" quota. The situation of the Warring States is ever-changing. Zhao Guo used "love millet" as an excuse to see Zhao Guo dead.

For Qi Guo, the Five Kingdoms are not a good thing, and I would be fine if I didn't make trouble.

Not to mention, many new generations of Qi people have a good impression of Qin.

After all, it was because Qin State attracted the firepower of the five countries that they were able to be stable for so many years. See how stupid King Qi Xuan was back then. In the land of the Three Kingdoms, Qi State did not gain any benefits, Qin State shrunk, but later let the Six Kingdoms free up and wiped out Qi State.

They won't be fooled again.

So in Ju Duo Qi's mind, all he thought was that he could still hang out with Qin Guo.

Therefore, it is no wonder that when Yan Jiang mentioned that King Qin was going to question them for taking in refugees from the six countries, everyone was shocked.

If Qin Guo really used this reason to attack Qi, wouldn't it be a disaster without reason?

Qin Jun's iron hooves, if Qi Guo said that he could resist, Chu Zhao Weiyan would jump out and slap him immediately.

An army that has not fought for 50 years, does it know where the road is going?

"Well, where did this start!" The head of the Taishi Patriarch next to Wangsun Tian'an was the first to slap on the table excitedly, "The refugees from the six countries flocked here, those who have money will increase the price of food in our country, and those who have no money So they gathered together as a group of thieves and plundered the village, and everyone in the country was annoyed by this, how can it be said that we are taking in refugees!"

"That's right! This vagrant is still hooking up with each other all the time, and he is good at doing business, which makes my business in Qidi suffer a lot of losses!"

"Among the refugees, there are few young and old. Most of them are young and strong. They are worried about civil unrest. We can only take them away for the time being..."

……

All of a sudden, the guests present began to complain about their grievances, and they were not at all as happy as they were when they said they were collecting the wealth of the refugees.

Yan Jiang listened carefully, but at the same time he didn't take it seriously. Those who can escape to Qi State are all rich, powerful and powerful high-end people in various countries. There may not be no capable people among them, but Qi State only regards them as cash machines, and does not arrange them properly. Containment, sooner or later there will be a big mess.

But he was here to make troubles, so he didn't need to remind them, so he waited for everyone to talk slowly, and then slowly said: "You nobles are very reasonable, I admire you, but Qin Chao has always been domineering, It is unreasonable to speak out loudly, occupy the five kingdoms and collect the wealth of the world, occupy the west of the river and dominate the land of the river east, and the household registration of the people is the strictest in the world, how can you endure until the things you talk about leave your hands?"

This is true, Qin Guo beat people, neither looking at the day, and the reason was far-fetched, and the guests were worried.

On the contrary, Wang Suntian calmed down and said calmly, "Qin and Qisu have a very close relationship, and Qi will send envoys to King Qin to resolve the misunderstanding."

Yan Jiang praised Sun Yingming, the king, and then asked back: "But all the dignitaries of the five countries are in Qi, and they all have the idea of ​​​​restoring the country. It is very easy for one or two Jingkes to appear. With this hidden danger, how can King Qin sleep peacefully?"

His Majesty held up his wings and hooked A Jiang's trouser legs in displeasure. Can't you not mention Jing Ke?

This is really very possible. Tian An, as the grandson of the King of Qi, how can he be so rejected by others, and he said annoyed for a moment: "Then what do you think? Do you want to drive all these refugees away?"

Yan Jiang smiled and said: "It's not right, there are a lot of refugees. If they disperse into the countryside, they will become bandits. They will cross the border quietly and trouble all places. The gains outweigh the losses."

The war refugees of later generations ran to Europe, is it really the Virgin Mary there?Do officials have bags in their heads?Of course not, when tens of thousands of people have already come, if we don’t find a formal entry channel and only repatriate the unqualified ones, then the people who come later will become black households and cross countries without border walls , disappeared into the boundless crowd.It is self-evident what will happen. If the police force is increased or even the army is sent to search, not to mention the cost involved, just what people will do in a desperate situation is enough to make people feel suspicious.

Governing the country has never been done on a whim, and it is impossible to do it completely according to your preferences. This point, even the iron-headed Ying can't do it, let alone King Qi?

Thinking of this, he coughed lightly, and said loudly: "Nowadays, money is cheap and food is expensive. In the eyes of villains, it's not that there is not enough food and millet, but that there is too much money and things. I have a plan, which can make Qin Wu feel guilty. , and peacefully disrupt the people.”

Tian An glanced at Tian Shi beside him, his brows seemed to be suddenly enlightened, and he couldn't help showing a hint of sarcasm: "Then please tell me what is your clever plan."

If he couldn't say it, he said Shi Tiancheng, the idiot who was always right with him.

Yan Jiang casually made up: "Qi has not fought wars for 50 years, and the wealth is hidden among the people. The grain and grass are abundant, enough to meet the needs of 30 troops. The exiles of the various countries are less than tens of thousands, but the price of millet has doubled. Why? All because the wealth of the five countries is floating in the marketplace..."

When he was doing things, his brain was spinning at a super high speed, he didn't panic at all, he talked with great enthusiasm, and he was in high spirits, using his superficial currency knowledge to fool around.

Why is the price of goods in the Qi country rising, and the life of the common people and refugees is difficult. There is too much money in the market. What should I do if there is too much money?

Easy to handle, you take back the money.

Of course it is impossible to rob, but you can exchange the money of the Qi country for the money of the five countries. How much money you stipulate to exchange for the coins of the six countries is like how much wheat can be used to offset the tax on corn.

How much exchange ratio should be set?Of course, this is a question that nobles should consider. Anyway, when they have less money, the price of goods will come down, and of course the common people will stop making trouble.

What should I do if I don't have so much money to exchange?

It’s easy to handle, you can issue IOUs, or give some notes of “XX can open up wasteland in XX, where XX can cook salt” as collateral, and then melt and recast the collected copper coins into a large number of Qidao, stipulated The money of the six countries cannot be circulated in Qi, and if found, it will be confiscated. This is not an open robbery!

In this way, when they come to the government to exchange, they can find out their population, number, and what they will do in the future, and register them in the book, which is convenient for management. In the future, if the king of Qin asks about the crime, he can show the book to the king of Qin and say They have become obedient citizens of the Qi State, and there will be no troubles. If this is the case, wouldn't the world be peaceful?

All the dignitaries of the Qi Kingdom were dumbfounded, how could they still play like this?

But it makes sense!

The state of Qi emphasizes business, and has the reputation of "wearing the crown and wearing the clothes of the world". People in Qidi know more or less how to do business, and of course they can see the feasibility of it.

More importantly, they have the final say on the exchange ratio and how to use it. Furthermore, Qi’s knife currency has always had the highest copper content in the seven countries, so it is completely reasonable to set the exchange rate higher or more. ah.Register them again, and these will be available population households, and then everyone will divide them together and it will be over!

At that time, the coins of the five countries will be collected, and then melted and re-minted... Hey, how much can you earn?

Even Tian Shi secretly counted the profits with his fingers, and his eyes almost jumped into the appearance of knives and coins. As long as they figure out their family background, isn't it easy to clean up?

For a moment, the entire hall was filled with whispers.

This approach was so reasonable that even the grandson Tian An was stunned. If there is a need, there is a status. The disdain and sarcasm on Tian An's face quickly switched to the kindness of Corporal Li Xian, and invited the businessman "Jiang" to sit on it.

Yan Jiang glanced at Tian Shi, and Tian Shi reacted instantly - he might accidentally bump into a big fish, and he was determined not to let it go, so he held Yan Jiang's arm tightly, like a puppy protecting food , smiled at Tian An: "This is my doorman, so I can't get on the stage. If Wang Sun has any doubts, just let him answer."

Tian An frowned slightly, but he didn't feel overwhelmed. Instead, he asked about Yan Jiang's career in business with a friendly and polite face. In his eyes, this kind of talent who is good at business and knows the news of various countries may be Lu Buwei and other strange people.

Of course, Yan Jiang casually made up that he was also a member of Lu Buwei's family back then. After the King of Qin moved Lu's disciples to Shu, he fled to Zhao State with Lu Buwei's deputy Sikong Ma. Suppressing businessmen, he plans to move the industry to Qi.

It's a sage with Sikong and Ma!So many people here hoped that he would go to his own fief to take root, but was sent back by Tian Shi.

After some exchanges, everyone seemed very excited, especially Yan Jiang suggested that it would be too troublesome for all the refugees to exchange in Linzi, and there will definitely be more refugees in the future. pressure.

The five capitals are the five counties of the Qi State. Yan Jiang's proposal is tantamount to saying that everyone can earn money, and it has been unanimously affirmed by everyone.

Everyone supports Wang and Sun in dedicating this strategy to the king, and they will definitely agree with the prime minister's longing for money.

Wang Sun was very moved by what he said, and immediately decided to return to Linzi as soon as possible to offer advice to King Qi.

And Yan Jiang was also arranged to stay in the Taishi Mansion, and even Tian Shi forgot what he said about making troubles. In his opinion, receiving a super capable customer is more exciting than making troubles .

Finally, at night, Yan Jiang politely expressed his tiredness.

Tian Shi made an appointment with him tomorrow with some reluctance, and ordered the left and right maids to take good care of this gentleman.

After Yan Jiang washed up, he dismissed the maid who wanted to serve the bed, and hugged the reed chicken to the bed with a light smile.

His Majesty looked at him with big eyes, and he was very unpredictable.

"Why, doesn't your majesty think I'm helping you?" Yan Jiang took a deep breath.

His Majesty lazily expressed that it might not be a good thing if the dignitaries of the six countries could split up here, and besides, when he took down Qi, these would all be his.

"Books and paper carts are on the same track, neither can be accomplished overnight," Yan Jiang said with a light smile, "Let's let the world unify the coins of the world, let's try it first, and when you and I do this, there are some references to avoid injury The people of Great Qin."

His plan is rough, Qi Guo will try it out, it will be much easier to use.

The two looked at each other for a few breaths before His Majesty lay lazily on his chest and rubbed his round face against A Jiang's chest in satisfaction.

It is not unfamiliar with today's scene, and it can't count the princes and nobles who have been deceived along the way.

However, Ah Jiang has worked so hard for the widow——I really love her.

Yan Jiang was also very satisfied. In this way, Ah Zheng would not urge him to go back to China every day, lose his temper and go on hunger strike—it can be a waste.

The author has something to say:

PS: Share a story that I laughed to death when I checked the information.

According to the records of the Warring States Policy, Sikong Ma was Lu Buwei's deputy. When he fled to Zhao State, the king of Zhao asked him his strategy against Qin, and the following scene appeared:

Sikong Ma: "Your Majesty, you can use half of Zhao's land to bribe Qin, so that Qin will definitely retreat, and Zhao will keep it. The other five countries see that Qin has such a big appetite, and they will definitely join forces, so we will push Qin down." .Although you lost half of the country, you have gained peace in the world!"

Zhao Wang: "...you are not a fool!"

Sikong Ma: "Forget it if you don't listen, I'm leaving!"

Zhao Guo was then destroyed by Qin, and several other countries said in hindsight: It is not that Zhao Guo has no talents, but the strategies of talents have not been used!
