Back to the Warring States Period as Zhao Kuo

Zhao Kuo looked at Guo Zong and asked, "Guo Zong, is your store ready?"

The commerce of this era is actually quite developed. Linzi in Qi State, Taoyi in Song State, Daliang in Wei State, Chencheng in Chu State, Yangzhai in South Korea, and Handan in Zhao State are all very prosperous. commercial city.

Shops are indispensable in a commercial city. Guo Zong, as one of the top businessmen in Zhao, must have a lot of shop resources in his hands.

Guo Zong hurriedly said: "Back to Zhao Qing, this Guo Zong is ready, it's in the busiest place in Handan West City, it will definitely satisfy you."

Zhao Kuo snorted and said, "It's useless to satisfy me, you have to satisfy Lord Pingyuan.

Now that it's ready, let's get started as soon as possible. "

Guo Zong nodded and said, "This is natural, but there is still a small problem."

Zhao Kuo asked, "What's the problem?"

Guo Zong said: "The popularity of ginseng is too low. If it is sold like this, the business will not be very good."

According to Zhao Kuo's pricing, ginseng is to be sold as a luxury product, and one plant worth [-] yuan is the lowest quality, called the starting price.

No matter how good the quality is, the price will have to be doubled, or even add a zero.

But how can such an expensive thing attract those buyers who really have financial resources?

After all, ginseng did not have any reputation before this, and it is difficult for people to buy it if it is not famous.

Zhao Kuo laughed and said, "You don't understand that.

Anyway, you should prepare enough supplies first, and we'll just wait and count the money in a few days!By the way, give me five more beauties, and they must be top-notch Handan dancers who are good at singing and dancing. "

Handan dancer is the most famous dancer in this era, not only has a hot body but also has the best dancing posture in the world. From this, an idiom called "Handan toddler" is derived.

Guo Zong was taken aback when he heard the words, and then immediately showed a wretched smile of "I understand", and said: "Understood, please rest assured Zhao Qing, Guo must have made arrangements properly."

Of course Zhao Kuo knew what Guo Zong was thinking, but Zhao Kuo just smiled.

Are you kidding me, no matter how beautiful the Handan dancer is, can my princess Waner be as beautiful?

Not to mention that my Wan'er's dignified and noble temperament directly kills these dancers by a thousand times.

Zhao Kuo actually wanted these dancers for other reasons, not for himself, of course there is no need to explain this to Guo Zong.

Guo Zong was very quick in his work, and the next day he had eight beautiful dancers sent to him, all of whom were the top names in places that some men in Handan liked to go to.

But Zhao Kuo didn't move any of these dancers, so he kept them at home.

Soon, a new piece of news attracted the attention of Handan and even the entire Chinese world.

After Zhao State defeated Qin State, Zhao Wangguang invited the princes to meet in Handan.

Huimeng was very popular in the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Periods, such as the Wuguan Huimeng where King Yingji of Qin killed King Huai of Chu a few years ago, and the Mianchi Huimeng that made Lin Xiangru famous.

Given Zhao's current situation, there are two main meanings for holding a meeting.

The first one is to let the princes come to meet King Zhao and recognize the hegemony of Zhao State as the most powerful country in the world.

The second is to contact other princes to continue to suppress Qin, a monster country entrenched in the west, so that the revival of Qin will not become a major problem for Zhao.

In view of the fact that Zhao Guo had just annihilated 30 Qin troops in the Battle of Changping, other princes did not dare to neglect. Except for the targeted Qin State who did not send any envoys at all, the monarchs of the other five countries have all been here in the past few days. Arrived in Handan one after another.

The first ones to arrive were the kings and ministers of the State of Wei, because Daliang City, the capital of the State of Wei, was the closest to Handan City of the State of Zhao.

Wei Wang's name is Wei Yu, and he is about forty years old. Looking at Handan City in front of him, he sighed with emotion: "I think Wei was the strongest who ruled the world when the three families divided Jin into the establishment of Wei, Han and Zhao. Guoguo and South Korea are just entourage countries under the command of Wei.

Unexpectedly, only a few decades later, the state of Zhao has already defeated the state of Qin and looks down on the world, but the great Wei is alas! "

Wei State has had a hard time in the past few decades. When fighting against Qin State, it lost consecutive battles. Qin State successively captured many cities including Hedong and Taoyi. It has already been reduced to a second-rate country.

Beside the King of Wei, a man in his early thirties with a very handsome appearance and an extremely calm and mature temperament said lightly, "Why does Your Majesty feel so sorry for himself?

As long as the king works hard to govern, the great Wei will eventually defeat Zhao and Qin one day, and return to the hegemony of the world. "

This man's name is Wei Wuji, he is the younger brother of King Wei, and he is also the Lord Xinling of Wei Guo among the famous "Four Princes of the Warring States Period" in the history books!Since the king of Wei appointed Lord Xinling as a general a few years ago, Lord Xinling has successfully restored the decline of the Wei state and defeated the attacks of the Qin army and the Chu army several times, so that the Wei state no longer loses its troops and loses its soil, and has a new life. signs of rejuvenation.

This is also the reason why Mr. Xinling is so confident in talking to King Wei.

King Wei glanced at Lord Xinling and said with a smile: "Speaking of which, Zhao Kuo in Zhao State is a few years younger than you, but he has already defeated Qin State Bai Qi in the Battle of Changping. He is indeed a hero. boy.

Mr. Xinling, after arriving in Handan, it is not convenient for me to get acquainted with Zhao Kuo as a king, so you should get in touch with this Zhao Kuo.

It's best not to let him have a bad feeling towards Da Wei, otherwise it will be very bad for Da Wei in the future to get involved with such a character! "

Although Zhao Kuo's record so far since his debut is only one battle of Changping, the fact that he defeated Bai Qi is enough to make King Wei feel extremely afraid of Zhao Kuo.

Lord Xinling's cheeks twitched slightly, and he responded with some reluctance.

Lord Xinling is a very talented person. In history, if Lord Xinling hadn't worked so hard to support him, the State of Wei would have been destroyed by the State of Qin long ago.

The more talented people are, the more confident they are, or in other words, pride.

Now, Zhao Kuo, who is younger than Mr. Xinling and more talented, has been born, and all the eyes that were originally concerned about Mr. Xinling have shifted to Zhao Kuo.

Originally, it was generally recognized that Mr. Xinling was the No. 1 general of the younger generation of the Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period after Bai Qi of the older generation, but now the title of No. 1 general has undoubtedly belonged to Zhao Kuo.

From the conversation just now, it can be heard that not only other people, but even Lord Xinling's elder brother, King Wei, think so.

This made Mr. Xinling very unhappy.

"Zhao Kuo, I hope you are really capable.

Otherwise, this Marquis will let you know who is the No.1 general in the world in the future! "

Chapter 42 Meeting with Uncle King Qi

After King Wei, several other great kings also arrived one after another.

Among these great kings, Zhao Kuo is undoubtedly concerned most about his uncle Qi Wang Tianjian.

On the second day after King Qi arrived in Handan, Zhao Kuo immediately went to the place where King Qi was staying to post a visit.

The obtrusive Tian Sixing was gone, replaced by an aristocratic middle-aged man who looked very friendly and had a rather fat body to receive Zhao Kuo.

When the middle-aged man laughed, he was very friendly: "It turned out to be Zhao Kuo and Zhao Qing, please come in, please come in, I have sent someone to report to the king."

Zhao Kuo arched his hands and said, "Thank you.

May I ask your name? "

The middle-aged man laughed and said: "If you are not talented, you will win later, and you will live in the state of Qi."

Zhao Kuo was immediately in awe, it turned out to be the uncle of his future wife: "So it's Houqing, I have admired him for a long time."

Zhao Kuo's long admiration is really not casual and polite.

Historically, Qi Wang Tianjian and Housheng, the combination of the monarch and ministers of the Qi State, did nothing in the last few decades of the Warring States Period. The monarchs and ministers even surrendered directly, becoming the laughing stock of the ages.

According to historical records, both Tian Jian and Hou Sheng have the same hobbies, that is, women and pleasure, and Hou Sheng has another characteristic that is very greedy for money.

As soon as Zhao Kuo thought about this, he immediately stepped forward and held Hou Sheng's hand, and said with a smile: "Houqing, Zhao Kuo will also marry the princess of Qi State in the future, and please ask Houqing to say a few words for Zhao Kuo in front of King Qi. It is."

Hou Sheng was taken aback for a moment, and then suddenly felt something secretly passed from Zhao Kuo's sleeve to his hands, and immediately smiled knowingly: "Zhao Qing is so promising at such a young age, I will invite Zhao Qing to do more in the future." After taking care of you, you win."

The two smiled at each other.

When Hou Sheng let go of his hand, he looked at the thing Zhao Kuo handed over calmly, and found that it turned out to be a piece of high-quality mutton fat white jade, and the smile on his face suddenly increased a little bit. It's also getting hotter.

The two chatted for a while, and suddenly a voice came faintly: "Where is Zhao Kuo?

Let the widow see. "

Accompanied by this voice, a man wearing a purple crown and gorgeous royal robes walked in. Needless to say, this was naturally Qi Wang Tianjian.

Zhao Kuo didn't dare to be negligent, and hurriedly stood up and saluted King Qi: "The foreign minister Zhao Kuo has seen the king."

King Qi seemed to have just woken up, he didn't look very energetic, sat down and looked at Zhao Kuo first, then nodded slightly and said: "That's right, it's also considered a good-looking talent, and the widow's sister Wan is so-so.

Since you will become the widow's brother-in-law in the future, you should also speak for the widow and Daqi in Zhao Guochao hall. "

Zhao Kuo naturally agreed to this, and then said with a smile: "Knowing that the king is coming, the foreign minister specially prepared six beautiful dancers from Handan to present to the king, and please accept it."

King Qi raised his head immediately after hearing this sentence: "The stunning dancer?

Don't fool the widow. "

Not only King Qi, but Hou Sheng on the other side also had bright eyes.

Zhao Kuo smiled and said: "That's right, the six dancers are outside the post house now, if the king" before Zhao Kuo finished speaking, King Qi interrupted: "Then what are you waiting for, bring them in quickly !"

After a while, six Handan dancers filed in.

In order to curry favor with Zhao Kuo, the six dancers sent by Guo Zong also took great care. Some were petite, some were naive, some were charming, and there was even one who looked vaguely dignified.

As we all know, the clothes worn by dancers are very revealing, so when these dancers come in, most of their beautiful figures are revealed.

"Gudu."

There was an obvious swallowing sound of saliva coming from behind.

King Qi's Adam's apple also rolled up and down, and the eyes he looked at Zhao Kuo had completely changed, becoming very affectionate: "Zhao Kuo, Zhao Kuo, I am very satisfied with your work!"

As a great king, King Qi certainly has many women, but those women are basically women from Qi State. Now seeing the "exotic style" of Zhao Guowu Ji is naturally very refreshing. Sensitivity suddenly rose.

This brother-in-law did not marry wrongly!Zhao Kuo saw King Qi's anxious look, with a smile on his face, but he secretly complained in his heart: "I can't walk when I see a few beautiful women. It's no wonder that Qi State has perished in the hands of you two kings and ministers."

However, this time Zhao Kuo is not just for sending women.

Zhao Kuo smiled and said, "Actually, apart from these six dancers, Zhao Kuo has a more expensive gift to give to the king."

King Qi snorted, and looked at Zhao Kuo in amazement: "A more expensive gift than these dancers?

Take a look. "

Zhao Kuo immediately took out a small box about one foot long and half a foot wide from his sleeve, and presented it to King Qi.

King Qi opened it with anticipation, and found two plants with strange shapes inside. He didn't know whether it was a plant or a medicinal material. He was stunned: "This is it." It's convenient to say."

King Qi immediately understood, and said: "Everyone else should step back."

The guards and several dancers on the side all retreated, leaving only King Qi, Hou Sheng and Zhao Kuo in the hall.

King Qi said: "Okay, you don't have to be a fool, just tell me what it is."

Zhao Kuo said with a smile: "To tell you the truth, this is a magic medicine discovered by the famous doctor Bian Que back then. It has the magical effect of nourishing qi and blood, and bringing the dead back to life. It is called ginseng!"

"Ginseng?"

King Qi said with some doubts: "Since this medicine is so miraculous, why has the widow never heard of it?"

Zhao Kuo said sternly: "Your Majesty, you don't know. Ginseng is an undisclosed secret of Bian Que's lineage. It is only by chance that foreign ministers know the efficacy of this medicine by accident. How can others get it?" Know?"

King Qi let out a sigh, and said, "That's your heart."

King Qi actually didn't care about this ginseng. After all, as a king, he couldn't be injured. Although the healing effect of bringing the dead back to life sounds very powerful, King Qi won't be able to use it in his life, so there are not many dancers in this gift. Make King Qi even happier.

Of course, Zhao Kuo also saw that King Qi was not interested, so he smiled immediately, and finally threw out the big killer: "To tell you the truth, besides being used as medicine, ginseng also has miraculous effects in some aspects!"

King Qi was taken aback when he heard the words, and then immediately understood with a man's thinking: "Are you talking about those aspects?"

Zhao Kuo nodded and said, "Exactly!"

King Qi paused for a moment, and burst into a burst of laughter.

"Zhao Kuo, the widow really feels that it is great to have you as a brother-in-law!"

Zhao Kuo cupped his hands and said with a smile: "My lord, I am admiring, I am absurd."

Looking at the smiling King Qi, Zhao Kuo was also secretly proud.

Ginseng is destined to be sold as a luxury item, which makes its target audience very small, that is, the ruling classes of various countries.

The gathering of the great kings of the Handan Alliance this time is undoubtedly the best time for ginseng to expand its sales and reputation.

King Qi is the best target to help ginseng become famous.

That's why Zhao Kuo gave both jade and beauties. Although the jade and beauties are top-notch and costly, but with this price, the reputation and sales of ginseng can be completely opened up. I don't know how many times more than paying!Zhao Kuo looked at King Qi, as if he saw countless money rolling towards him!

Chapter 43 Zhao Kuo Gets Rich Overnight

The next day, Zhao Kuo just woke up and was still eating breakfast in the mansion, when Hou Sheng appeared in a hurry.

"Zhao Qing!"

As soon as he saw Zhao Kuo, Hou Sheng came up and grabbed Zhao Kuo's hands directly, and refused to let go no matter what.

Zhao Kuo felt that his skin was about to get goosebumps. After coughing heavily, he broke free from the opponent's hand and said, "Could it be that Hou Qing came here for ginseng?"
