Chapter 656 Please Give the Great Qi to the Qin State as a Gift! Chang'an Jun Is My Best Friend!
Not to mention the feast that the fat fish along the Wei River will soon have.
As soon as the test field in Chang'an Township was weighed, a large number of followers quietly left the scene and then rushed to all directions of the world.
Qi State, Wu Palace.
King Jian of Qi held a piece of Chang'an paper that was three fingers long and wide, and the paper was full of small characters:
[The golden juice manure field is completed, and the average yield per mu is four stone, three jin and ten catties. ]
King Jian of Qi rubbed his eyes hard, and then put the paper in front of his eyes. After a few breaths, he murmured in disbelief and asked: "He succeeded?"
King Jian of Qi couldn't believe this news at all.
But this was the news from the channel that King Jian of Qi trusted, and such a big thing could not be hidden from the world!
Qi Wangjian's fingers trembled slightly, and he cried out sadly: "He actually succeeded!"
"Gold juice, such a foul smell, was turned into a treasure in the manure field by him!"
"My great Qi is in danger!"
"If Qin is allowed to continue to develop like this, how can my Qi survive in the future!"
Qin was already strong in military and horses, and Qin Wangzheng and Chang'an Jun were more radical than each other.
The biggest constraint of Qin today is its lack of food and grass.
If this last shortcoming is made up, Qi Wangjian has no idea how Qi can survive in the mouth of the wolf-like Qin!
As for the so-called Qin-Qi friendship and Qin-Qi alliance?
It's just a joke!
Whoever believes it is stupid!
Suddenly, Qi Wangjian saw a eunuch scratching his neck not far away.
Qi Wangjian turned his right hand and pressed the paper directly into the wine cup, and then poured the wine and the paper into his mouth.
"Your Majesty!"
Just as the wine was half drunk, a shout came.
After Qi Wangjian finished the wine in the cup and put it down, he saw Hou Sheng standing in front of him with a beaming face.
Qi Wangjian asked with a surprised smile: "Why is my uncle so excited?"
"Is there a happy event in your house?"
Hou Sheng laughed heartily and bowed his hands and shouted: "Your Majesty! Great joy, great joy!"
"But this joy is not for my house, but for the whole world!"
Qi Wangjian leaned forward slightly and asked curiously: "Oh? What is the happy event?"
Hou Sheng said repeatedly: "Everyone knows that Chang'an Jun has loved gold juice since last year. Chang'an Jun said that this was to treat manure and increase production, but few people believed it."
"However, the day after Chang'an Jun returned triumphantly, he harvested the fields irrigated with gold juice."
"No one expected that the average yield per mu of that field would reach four stone, three jin and ten catties!"
"Chang'an Jun and gold juice It is true that the golden juice can increase grain production!"
King Jian of Qi stood up suddenly, and asked in shock: "Really?!"
"That's four stone, three jin and ten catties!"
"It's nearly twice as high as the yield per mu of the fertile land in my Great Qi!"
Hou Sheng said solemnly: "This is the news sent back by the envoy stationed in Qin, it's true!"
"And with the friendship between Qin and Qi, Qin doesn't have to deceive our country."
"Your Majesty, more importantly, this is the first time that Chang'an Jun has made golden juice!"
"Then Chang'an paper has made great progress in just a few years."
"As long as Chang'an Jun is given a few more years, the manure field will surely make the fields have more output!"
King Jian of Qi agreed in his heart.
The newly developed Chang'an paper is still a bit irritating, but now this Chang'an paper is quite soft and tastes much better!
King Jian of Qi clapped his hands and laughed: "Hahaha!"
"God help my Great Qi!"
"Since Qin has obtained such treasures, how can it forget my Great Qi?"
"As long as my Great Qi continues to serve Qin Jin, my Great Qi will definitely be protected by Qin!"
Hou Sheng suddenly stopped smiling and looked at King Jian of Qi seriously: "My king, do you really think so?"
King Jian of Qi asked in confusion: "Now only Qin is willing to form an alliance with Qi, but all other countries are bullying my Great Qi."
"The stronger Qin is, the safer Qi will be."
"Why don't I think so?"
"Don't you think so, uncle?"
Seeing the frank eyes of Qi Wangjian, Hou Sheng felt relieved and said in a gentle voice: "It is great that the king has such an idea."
"I think that on this happy occasion, my Great Qi may send a gift to Qin."
Qi Wangjian asked with a smile: "All important matters in the court are decided by my uncle."
"If my uncle thinks that a gift should be sent, then send it!"
Hou Sheng shook his head: "Such important matters are not something I can decide."
"I think that the king may give Great Qi to Qin as a gift!"
Qi Wangjian: (σ`д′)σ
Hou Sheng's words exploded in Qi Wangjian's ears like a thunder.
Qi Wangjian couldn't hold it anymore, and Qi Wangjian couldn't act anymore!
Under the shocked and angry gaze of Qi Wangjian, Hou Sheng knelt down and kowtowed: "Your Majesty, I bow to the west and pay my respects to you!"
Qi Wangjian slowly stood up and asked coldly: "Prime Minister, do you know what you are talking about?"
"You, you want me to pay my respects to Qin Wangzheng?!"
Hou Sheng still knelt on the ground, and said in a very serious voice: "The strength of Qin is now seen by the king."
"The greed of Qin is also seen by the king."
"Qin is good at war, warlike, and seeks war, and Chang'an Jun is not the only general!"
"The grain production of Qin has skyrocketed, and the internal exhaustion can be suppressed by this. If Qin takes this opportunity to send troops to attack Qi, how can my Great Qi resist?"
"For the survival of Great Qi, I beg the king to pay homage to the west!"
There are indeed many contradictions within Qin, but the rapid growth of grain production is enough to make those contradictions deliberately ignored by the Qin people.
The rapid development of the economy can largely cover up the many accumulated internal contradictions.
This principle is applicable in ancient and modern times.
King Jian of Qi said in a broken voice: "Qin is strong, but is Qin the only country in the world?"
"I think Zhao should be more uneasy than my Great Qi now."
"With Zhao to contain Qin, Qin has no time to worry about my Great Qi. My Great Qi can live far away in the East China Sea and reap the benefits!"
Hou Sheng said bitterly: "It is precisely because Zhao is still there that my Great Qi is valuable to Qin."
"If Qin destroys Zhao, will Qin still be willing to accept my Great Qi as a vassal!"
"Even if Qin and Zhao are in a stalemate, no matter which side suffers losses, they will invade the east to make up for themselves."
"To the east of Zhao, there are only Qi and Yan."
"To the east of Qin, there is only Qi!"
King Jian of Qi's face changed several times.
If Zhao really suffered a loss at the hands of Qin, then Qi would definitely not be able to get away with it.
If Qin suffered a loss at the hands of Zhao, then who could Qin, which only had Qi left in the east, pass the loss on to?
The two powers fought, and Qi would suffer no matter what!
Sitting back on the couch, King Jian of Qi murmured sadly: "Is there no other way for my Great Qi?"
King Jian of Qi's intelligence was sufficient, so he was not completely sidelined.
But King Jian of Qi's intelligence was only sufficient, so that he could not control the dominance of the court for decades after ascending the throne.
King Jian of Qi wanted to refute Hou Sheng, but with his intelligence, he could not think of what Qi should do to survive in such a situation!
Hou Sheng kowtowed again: "For the ancestral temple of Great Qi."
"Your Majesty, please think twice about the advice I gave you!"
If King Jian of Qi was willing to ask to be a minister, his life would be saved.
Although Qi might only be able to keep a county as its territory, it would be able to coexist with Qin like Wei State, and the ancestral temple would be preserved.
Hou Sheng can also continue to sit on the position of Prime Minister of Qi State with his blood relationship with Qi Wangjian and his merits of persuading him to be a minister.
Hou Sheng's plan is indeed selfish.
But this is really the most suitable plan that Hou Sheng can think of for the current Qi State!
After thinking for a long time in silence, Qi Wangjian took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "There is no need to say more about the matter of asking for a minister."
"I am the King of Qi!"
Hou Sheng's plan is good, but Qi Wangjian cannot tolerate himself from the King of Qi to the Marquis of Qi!
Hou Sheng looked up at Qi Wangjian in disappointment and said seriously: "The king will regret it!"
Qi Wangjian said angrily: "I am the King of Qi!"
The disappointment in Hou Sheng's eyes became more and more obvious.
Hou Sheng actually did not dislike Qi Wangjian being stronger.
When Qi Wangjian really took charge of the government, Qi Wangjian would find that Hou Sheng was his uncle after all, and he was better than those termites.
King Jian of Qi could only rely on his uncle Hou Sheng to take charge of the court and eliminate dissidents.
As a result, King Jian of Qi was not strong when he should be strong, and tore off his disguise when he should not be strong, revealing the fangs that King Jian of Qi had hidden until now!
Hou Sheng sighed softly, stood up and bowed: "Please think about it again and again, Your Majesty!"
"I will take my leave."
Walking out of Wu Palace in a daze, Hou Sheng looked back at the palace gate and sighed bitterly: "The Great Qi is in danger!"
"I am also in danger!"
Hou Sheng was greedy, lustful and power-hungry, but Hou Sheng knew very well that the reason why he could have today's power was mainly due to his being the patriarch of the Hou clan and the uncle of King Jian of Qi.
Once King Jian of Qi died or Qi was destroyed, Hou Sheng would be reduced to a commoner at best, or die like Chunshen Jun at worst!
Hou Sheng's money has not been spent yet!
He could not accept that he would have such an ending, and he did not want King Jian of Qi to die under the Qin army like King Qi of Chu!
With another sigh, Hou Sheng stepped into his four-horse carriage and ordered in a tired voice:
"Summon all the ministers to come to my residence to discuss matters."
——
Yan State, Wuyang Palace.
Yan Wangxi and Yan Taizi Dan sat opposite each other, quietly waiting for Yan Taizi Dan to finish reading the summons.
"Chang'an Jun actually did such a big thing!"
Yan Dan slapped his thigh excitedly and laughed heartily: "I thought that Chang'an Jun was persecuted by Ying Zheng for seeking livestock and plants everywhere, and was accompanied by gold juice all day long, so he had to follow the old deeds of Wu Qingbo (Sun Bin)."
"I am still worried about this."
"I never thought that Chang'an Jun actually used gold juice to do such a big thing that would go down in history!"
"How great!"
"We should drink for three days!"
In Yan Dan's opinion, he did have a lot of unpleasant things with Ying Chengjiao when he first entered Qin.
But that was all because of Ying Chengjiao's protection of Ying Zheng.
This is brotherhood!
The fault was that Ying Zheng did not clarify the relationship between the two of them and did not have a good attitude to receive his former big brother, which led to the misunderstanding between the two.
More importantly, when Yan Dan fled from Qin, Ying Chengjiao's flag was standing in the forest beside the road, which showed that Ying Chengjiao had long seen through Yan Dan's escape plan.
But Ying Chengjiao not only did not stop him, but also sang to see him off.
This is friendship!
Not to mention Ying Chengjiao's generous gift to return the body of Yan Xiangjiang Qu.
Although Yan Dan did not exchange letters with Ying Chengjiao because he did not want Ying Chengjiao to be suspected by Ying Zheng, Yan Dan had already regarded Ying Chengjiao as a man of great righteousness in his heart.
He even regarded him as his best friend!
Now that his friend has become famous again, Yan Dan is not in a position to congratulate him. With nowhere to release his joy, Yan Dan just wants to drink for three days!
Yan Wangxi said in a deep voice: "Don't forget, you are the prince of Yan!"
"Chang'an Jun has developed a technique to treat gold juice with manure fields, which is of great benefit to Qin, but not to Yan!"
Yan Dan restrained his smile and nodded slowly: "Father, what you said makes sense."
"Do you want your son to write a letter to Chang'an Jun, asking for the technique to treat manure with gold juice?"
"Chang'an Jun is so righteous that he will not refuse his son."
Yan Wangxi shook his head: "No!"
"Although this weapon for the prosperity of the country comes from Chang'an Jun, when Chang'an Jun presents it to Qin Wangzheng, it no longer belongs to him alone."
"I need Dan'er to write a letter to Qin Wangzheng to ask for the technique to treat manure with gold juice!"
