All of a sudden, the direction of the court changed drastically.

They all asked for food.

Li Yuandao: "Empress Dowager, I think that not only did you agree to borrow grain from Qin State, but you also sent [-] great workers from Chu State to build the canal for Qin State within three months. No effort, where there is a leak, where there is a lack, I can know all about it, just wait for the chaos of the Qin State."

"The minister waits to second the proposal!!"

No one disagrees.

What a great thing it is to be able to dry half of Qin with grain.

At that time, there will be ten years of chaos in Guanzhong of the Qin State, and ten years of severe drought. I don't know how many people will die this time.

And what has to be paid is a little food.

Li Yanyan immediately said: "Okay, since that's the case, I'll trouble you to make Yin Lai advocate this matter and send the grain to Qin State. Since it's related to Chu State, then act as soon as possible."

Li Yuandao: "Your servant, take your orders. Within three days, we will mobilize Jiangxia's grain and grass, and send them to Qin!"

Chapter 7 After Sheng was fooled and limped (two chapters in one)

Linzi.

Dun Ruo came to the gate of the city, looked at the magnificent eleven city gates of Linzi, and was immediately moved with emotion. This country of Qi deserves to be called the richest country in the world, without war.

The common people can be said to live and work in peace and contentment, and Zihe Hualiu Street is a place where countless scholars linger and forget to return.

To Dunwei's surprise, at this time, a large number of refugees at the gate of Linzi city were disheveled, and many of them looked even more emaciated, gathering together to argue with the guards at the gate of the city.

On the other hand, the Qi people in Linzi are plump, forming a sharp contrast.

Dunwei immediately stopped a passerby and said, "Sir, why are there so many refugees outside Linzi?"

The man looked him up and down, gave him a weak look, and said, "People from Qin?

He nodded weakly.

Only then did the visitor say politely: "It turns out that he is a distinguished guest from Bangguo."

Qin and Qi have not fought for 40 years. Wherever Qin fights, it does not fight Qi. It can be said that any country that does not hate Qin really belongs to Qi.

The most important thing is that the people in Linzi all know that Mei Changsu, the sacrificial wine of Qi State, is now in Qin State.

Then the people of Qi explained: "It's because of the war. The people of Qi State are afraid of Qin Yan's war, so they come here from the border!"

After a pause, he nodded.

The two looked at each other and bid farewell.

When Dunwei came to the gate of the city, he was immediately led by the palace guards of Qi to another gate that was less crowded.

The guard pointed to a notice at the gate of the city.

He stretched out his hand to this weakling.

Dunwei was puzzled, so he looked at the notice and saw that it said: "Every person from another country who leads the way into the city must pay ten gold for each person! Second, if the wealth he brings is less than five thousand gold Merchants are not allowed to enter Linzi, but can only enter the counties and counties around Linzi."

He took a deep breath.

As far as the Qin State is concerned, it is all hope that more scholars from various countries can enter the capital in ancient times.

Only the state of Qi has to inspect gold and silver when entering the city.

Even if you are not a merchant, you have to pay ten gold. You must know what ten gold is. For ordinary people, ten gold can be used for several years for a household, but in Linzi, it can only be used to enter the city.

Seeing that he was stunned for a while.

The guard was immediately displeased, and said, "Your Excellency, what is this?"

With a weak smile, he said: "Atonement, atonement, I have traveled all over the world, and this is the first time I have heard that there is a ten gold payment to enter the city. I don't know why?"

The guard said: "This is an order from the prime minister. How dare we discuss it rashly? I mean, which country in the world can compare with Linzi? Do you want to hand it over or not?"

Dunwei suddenly understood what the guard said.

Isn't Xiangbang the last winner?

In fact, the sudden weakness is not angry but happy.

Before he came, Marquis Wu had told him that this person, Hou Sheng, was extremely greedy for money, so greedy that as long as he had money, he would do anything, even if he sold Qi, he would do it according to the price.

This time, I came here to send money to Hou Sheng.

Moreover, the guard's words are very clear, the money is for Xiangbang, not for them.

Sure enough, as Marquis Wu said, this man's greed for money has reached such a vicious level, which is amazed and funny at the same time.

There are more than 20 people in Dunwei's group.

Immediately said: "I don't know the situation in Linzi, I don't have enough money and silver, I don't know how about I pay [-] gold, only three people can go in, and the rest of the tribe will follow the Xiangbang's arrangement and go to Sudden County."

The guard said: "I don't care about this, you pay thirty gold and go to three people."

Afterwards, Dunwei asked the rest of the people to wait elsewhere.

When entering the city, he looked at the people who were still struggling at the gate.

There was a sigh in my heart.

Secretly said: "Meeting such a Xiangbang is also a misfortune for you."

Hou Sheng just came back from the court meeting.

Sorrowful face.

Although, his nephew, that is, Qi Wangjian, will obey him in everything.

However, as Xiangbang, he is also stared at by countless pairs of eyes. As far as the refugees at the gate of the city are concerned, he really doesn't know how to deal with it!

Just when he was sitting in the house depressed and meditating secretly.

Suddenly, outside the door, a servant brought a greeting card.

Hou Sheng was overjoyed immediately, and said: "Come here, I really want to entertain distinguished guests!!!"

When Dunwei came to Hou Sheng, he said: "Foreign officials, who joined Xiangbang of Qi State, came to disturb you this time. Foreign officials were also ordered by Mei Shangqing to convey some news to Xiangbang."

Hou Sheng laughed loudly and said: "Please sit down quickly, since it is the plum sacrificial wine that invites you to come, then you are the real person, I don't know, Mr. Mei is still fine now."

He smiled weakly and said: "Mei Shangqing is naturally very good, mostly because he misses Xiangbang and King Qi. Although Qin and Qi are thousands of miles apart, Mei Shangqing's friendship with Xiangbang is as close as neighbors!"

Hou Sheng nodded slightly.

Without asking first, the two toasted for a while.

Suddenly, Dunwei saw Hou Sheng's brows, Ruo Ruowu's melancholy, and asked: "The foreign official seems to be worried when he sees Xiangbang. I wonder if he can say it and let the foreign official plan for you?"

When Hou Sheng heard this, he looked at this dunwei in surprise.

Dunwei was originally born as a merchant, so his eyebrows appeared extremely shrewd.

Hou Sheng sighed, and said: "If Mr. Mei comes here again, how can the real face be disturbed by this! Since Mr. Mei asked you to come, you must be smart, so let's not hide the real face."

Later, Hou Sheng explained the origins of these refugees one by one. To put it bluntly, it was the connection between Qin State and Yan State, which scared the people of Qi State to come to Linzi one after another.

Now that he is here, he must be governed. This is his job as Xiangbang.

All day long, his mind is on making money, so how could he be able to govern the people?

However, Hou Sheng vented a bit.

He finally voiced his doubts.

This doubt made the wine that Dunwei swallowed almost spit out, secretly thinking, what a strange thing! ! !

This man loves money.

It was even more exaggerated than what Marquis Wu said.

It turned out that the ruling and opposition parties have talked about various ways to manage the refugees, but what he was thinking about after the victory was how to get some money in this regard.

Otherwise, why make such an effort.

Afterwards, he thought, whoever enters the city pays ten gold, but this is ten gold, and the common people are naturally unwilling to pay it. Some of them go out, but they will have no money when they enter the city. Where can they go to buy land and build houses.

No good.

Or the benefits are too little.

Hou Sheng asked with a smile: "Do you have a plan that is as good as the truth?"

Pausing weakly, he thought to himself: "This person's loyalty to Qin is even better than Guo Kai."

Guo Kai's death, his sudden weakness also has a great credit.

Looking at Hou Sheng in front of him now, it was as if he saw the old Guo Kai.

How shrewd is Dunwei.

Suddenly, two eyes rolled.

Immediately smiled and said: "What should I do? It turns out that Xiangbang's worry lies in the common people, why not return to Linzi!!"

Hou Sheng was taken aback, "Linzi? Didn't you understand the truth?"

Dun Ruo took a sip of the wine and said, "How rich is Linzi? Wouldn't it be against Taikang for these refugees to enter Linzi? Xiangbang set a limit of ten gold, naturally for Linzi, and Xiangbang really wants to govern these people. And Zen is exhausting, isn’t it for the people? How dare the courtiers talk about the state behind their backs.”

Hou Sheng immediately clapped the table and said, "Well said, well said, is he really that kind of person!"

Dun weakly said: "People outside the city want to come in, Xiangbang only considers outside the city, why not consider inside the city?"

Hou Sheng asked puzzledly, "What do you mean? The city is so peaceful, why should we consider the truth?"

Dun Ruo laughed loudly and said: "The refugees outside the city don't have gold and silver, but Xiangbang has to govern, but the city can't accommodate these refugees. Those who are worried about these refugees entering the city are probably the people in the city."

Hou Sheng nodded.

Dun Ruo then said: "In this case, the king of Qi asked Xiangbang to govern these people, but he didn't say that he really wouldn't let them enter the city. If he said he wouldn't let them enter the city, how do the people in the world think of you, the king of Qi and Xiangbang?" , has a bad reputation."

Dun weakly said: "Xiangbang only needs to report to the king and issue the Linzi Defense Order!"

"Linzi Defense Order? What's the content?"

Dun weakly said: "Qi is in charge of the rich country, and Linzi has always been the capital of happiness and happiness in the world. It is not rich in wealth, so there is no way to live in peace, and it is not hard-working people, and it is impossible to work happily. Therefore, all Qi people can benefit from the amount of wealth. Hengping, all those who do not have enough financial resources to gain a foothold in Linzi will be sent to the surrounding counties to open up wasteland. Once this order is issued, the refugees outside the city will be more important than the diligent people to enter the city, and those in the city who have insufficient financial resources will leave the city and go to Linzi. Who knows the right to balance wealth and goods, isn’t Xiangbang alone? At that time, in order to stay in Linzi, the people in the city will definitely send gold and silver to Xiangbang, Xiangbang to the court, governing the people, and living in Linzi , get a lot of strength, don't hurt the Linzi government treasury, and have a benevolent heart and benevolent government for the people. The three things are all beautiful, and the state is one person. It is so good, how can it be two?"

Weak words.

Hou Sheng suddenly took a breath of air.

The pupils of both eyes couldn't help shrinking slightly, looked at Weiwei in disbelief, and sighed: "Great talent, great talent!!!"

Today, the world is full of chaos.

Only Linzi, the state of Qi, looks like the country is peaceful and the people are safe.

However, some common people and aristocratic families in the surrounding area are already in panic, and they want to return to Linzi one after another. The lords of the aristocratic clans who fled are afraid of losing their foundation. People outside will also abide by it. Those aristocratic families who want to enter the city, are they afraid that they won't give him money?

Moreover, these refugees and clans shouted outside the city every day.

Baiguan is hard to guard against, and Qi Wangjian is even more sullen and completely ignores him. Every day he will ask him how the situation is now.

What IQ is better than the latter?

The only thing that comes to mind is to enter the city and pay!

However, this is not convincing. If he followed the weak method, he might become a generation of virtuous ministers after the victory.

Hou Sheng was a little excited.

Suddenly and Dunwei drank heavily, until at this moment, when the haze entered, Hou Sheng asked; "By the way, I was instigated to bother me when I was the truth, and I forgot to ask, what did the messenger come here to say, Mr. Mei? Anything to say?"

Dun Ruo immediately got up, cupped his hands and said: "Congratulations to Xiangbang, congratulations to Xiangbang, I am here to tell Xiangbang about the great joy at the order of Mei Shangqing. Now that Xiangbang has solved the big trouble, it seems that it is still double happiness." gone."

Hou Sheng asked in bewilderment: "What a great joy? How come the great joy!"

Dun Ruo said: "Qi's financial resources are raging, and Xiangbang's treasury is in turmoil. Isn't it a great joy? Mr. Mei is ordered to tell Xiangbang a strategy to strengthen Qi. If Xiangbang proposes this matter, he can do it again, fame and fortune. receive."

Hou Sheng couldn't sit still anymore, and immediately asked, "What's the matter, what did Mr. Mei say?"

Dunwei was taken aback by Hou Sheng.

What a Xiangbang, he has gained both fame and fortune, when he heard his ears, he directly ignored a name and left a word of profit!

How short of money was this person before?
