Taoyi and Duan Ganzi hurriedly walked out of the carriage and walked towards the hall in front of him.

Since the Wei King and Zhao Dan parted in an unhappy relationship and returned to the State of Wei, Duan Ganzi has become the busiest person in the entire State of Wei.

The allocation of materials and military forces, the collection of civilians, the dispatch of local officials, and many heavy government affairs were pressed on this Xiangbang master, making Duan Ganzi feel breathless.

So at this moment, Duan Ganzi was somewhat resentful about the King of Wei who suddenly summoned him into the palace - he was not busy? If you have any questions, go to Xiangbang official residence to tell me.

Of course, such complaints can only be thought about in my heart. Duan Ganzi packed up his mind and walked towards the hall.

When he walked to the entrance of the hall, a man happened to walk out of the hall.

After seeing Duan Ganzi, the visitor hurriedly saluted Duan Ganzi: "I've met Duan Qing."

Duan Ganzi looked up and down at the guy and found that this person was not someone Duan Ganzi knew. He looked ordinary and had no characteristics. His clothes were even simple, so he didn't take this person to heart. After responding, he kept walking towards the hall.

He also wanted to solve the matter of King Wei as soon as possible and then go back to deal with his own government affairs.

Duan Ganzi soon met King Wei.

"I have seen the king!"

King Wei looked very good today, and smiled at Duan Ganzi and said, "Duan Qing is here, let's sit down."

Duan Ganzi was anxious to go back to handle the main business, so he sat down and asked, "I wonder what the king is calling me to come?"

King Wei smiled and said, "Duan Qing, I want to ask how the preparations are now?"

Duan Ganzi showed a wry smile on his face and said to King Wei: "King, to be honest, the preparations for the war are not optimistic."

"What?" King Wei was angry when he heard this: "Isn't it done yet?"

Duan Ganzi nodded and smiled bitterly: "The civil servants only collected 60% of the supplies, only 80% of the officials, and now they are scarce... King, everything is short of."

King Wei slapped the table and stared at Duan Ganzi like a knife: "Duan Qing, I need an explanation!"

It’s not a question that King Wei was angry. After all, everyone knew that Wei was about to go to war with Zhao. At this time, the logistics preparations were not done. Isn’t this nonsense?

Duan Ganzi felt sweat faintly on his forehead and quickly explained: "King, the war last year has caused too much consumption to the country."

Duan Ganzi didn't care much about it, and just poured beans into bamboo tubes and told them all about it.

In fact, the reason is very simple, that is, the Wei State has not yet emerged from the great defeat against Zhao State a few years ago.

The treasury of Wei State was in Daliang City. Because Daliang City was submerged, the treasury of Wei State naturally sank into the surging rivers.

There are no money these days, and everyone is only serious about money and silver, so the most direct result of the flooding of the national treasury is that Wei State has no money.

Under such circumstances, the King of Wei had to repair the palace and use troops from outside, and all of them were required to use money, which led to the extremely financial tension of Wei State.

As a last resort, Duan Ganzi could only extend the service period of those civil servants. The civil servants who originally only needed to serve for three months directly extended to half a year or even one year, using these free labor to achieve the goal of saving money.

But this is not without drawbacks. The most direct disadvantage is that there are now cases of desertion in the Wei State. At the same time, due to excessive recruitment of civil servants, the grain output in the Wei State in the past two years is much worse than before. The two are superimposed, and the current situation is now.

Duan Ganzi didn't say anything, that is, the Wei country is actually very unstable, and the public is full of grievances. Many people have a lot of opinions about the combination of the king and ministers of Wei Wang and Duan Ganzi.

King Wei's face was as deep as water, shouting to Duan Ganzi: "Why don't you report these things to me?"

Duan Ganzi, who was reaching out to wipe his sweat, was startled by the angry words of King Wei, and hurriedly said, "King, you have reported this matter many times. The king only needs to check it out."

King Wei thought intently and found that he seemed to have actually seen relevant memorials, and more than once.

However, in the past two years, the foreign war in Wei has made great progress due to Zhao. King Wei only had victory and land in his heart. How could some food crisis and the grudges of the mud legs be taken seriously by King Wei? Now that he finally got to this point today, it is a self-defeating.

King Wei took a deep breath and said to Duan Ganzi: "No matter what method you use now, in short, the number of military rations and civilians cannot be reduced!"

Duan Ganzi was stunned and thought to himself that I am not the God of Taiyi in heaven, so where did these military rations and civilians become?

But King Wei said this, what can Duan Ganzi do not accept it? He had to respond with a bitter face.

King Wei glanced at Duan Ganzi, slowed down his tone and said, "Duan Qing, I know your concerns, but have you ever thought about why I broke up with King Zhao at this time?"

Duan Ganzi shook his head in a daze.

A look of disappointment flashed through the eyes of King Wei, but the king of Wei rarely showed great patience today and explained to the confidant in front of him.

"Duan Qing, Zhao is now powerful and is a well-deserved overlord in the world. This is a well-known thing. Since he is a overlord, Zhao will definitely not allow other overlords to appear, otherwise it will cause Zhao to face severe challenges!"

Duan Ganzi moved his lips and couldn't help but say, "But how can this overlord of the world last forever?"

In Duan Ganzi's understanding, I don't know how many overlord countries have emerged in the chaotic times of Zhao State in the past two hundred years, but you have always been the ones who finished the show, and each of them has been leading the way for decades.

Under such circumstances, even though Zhao State is now in great power, Duan Ganzi still subconsciously believes that such a powerful Zhao State may last for decades, but it will definitely not last long.

In fact, this is also the view of many people on China today. In the eyes of these people, Zhao State has been strong for decades since King Wuling of Zhao, and it is time to almost become prosperous and decline.

King Wei snorted and said, "Yes, the prosperity of Zhao cannot last long, but don't forget that as long as Zhao is still strong for a day, it will resolutely suppress any country that may become the hegemon, just like Qin in the past!"

Duan Ganzi nodded and suddenly realized: "So what the king means is that even if the king does not oppose Zhao State, Zhao State will come to attack the king?"

"That's right!" King Wei nodded with certainty and said, "The guards of Zhao against me and Wei are obvious to all! Not to mention anything else, if King Zhao had not interfered with it this time, I would have swallowed all the two eastern counties of Chu long ago!"

When he said this, the corners of King Wei's eyes twitched, and he was obviously still worried about it.

After all, King Wei could not suppress the anger in his heart, slapped the table in front of him and said in a deep voice: "I understand that as long as Zhao is still strong for a day, Wei will never be able to revive it. So this time I will fight with this damn Zhao State, so that the whole world will know that I and Wei State are not so easy to bully!"

When Duan Ganzi heard the passionate King of Wei, he was a little excited, but he was more amused and cried, and hurriedly advised: "King, even if Qin joins the war, he may not be able to defeat Zhao."

King Wei smiled slightly and said, "Of course I know Duan Qing's concerns. It is indeed difficult to achieve great things by joining forces with Qin, but—"

King Wei deliberately elongated the tone until Duan Ganzi showed an extremely curious expression, satisfying King Wei's vanity, then he said slowly without haste: "But what if Qi and Han were added?"

"What?" Duan Ganzi screamed immediately when he heard this, but immediately Duan Ganzi realized his incompetence and hurriedly apologized to King Wei.

"It's okay." King Wei waved his hand. After all, what he wanted at the beginning was this effect. The more Duan Ganzi was surprised, wouldn't it prove the unexpected and successful aspects of King Wei's plan?

So the King of Wei did not pursue Duan Ganzi's mistakes, but said happily: "To be honest with Duan Qing, I have already agreed with King Han that as long as Qin, Wei and Qi fight with Zhao, Han will immediately go out and catch Zhao off guard! At that time, I will see how Zhao will resist the attack of these four countries!"

As King Wei spoke, he couldn't help but danced.

In fact, it was not only Qi and Han, but also Wei Wang of Yan State sent an envoy, but he did not reply for a while.

Of course, in the eyes of King Wei, whether Yan State joins is just a icing on the cake. With the rebellion of South Korea, King Wei feels that this time the overall situation is definitely decided!

Duan Ganzi was shocked and never expected that this guy who thought he was just a mediocre monarch would have created such a big battle!

What made Duan Ganzi even more worried was that in addition to joining with Qin, when did Han and Qi be persuaded by King Wei? Duan Ganzi, a person who should have been the leader of King Wei, didn't know at all!

This is not a good sign.

King Wei saw Duan Ganzi's worries and smiled at Duan Ganzi, "Duan Qing, don't worry, I'm not deliberately concealing Duan Qing's incident of persuading King Han and King Qi, otherwise I wouldn't have told Duan Qing the first one now, right?"

"This battle against Zhao requires more reliance on Duan Qing. I hereby guarantee that as long as this battle against Zhao can be successful, then Duan Qingru's position as the king is for sure!"

"Fengjun?" These two words exploded in Duan Ganzi's heart like a bomb, which immediately made the Wei Prime Minister so excited that he threw all his resentment and worries abroad. He stood up and worshiped the King of Wei, and said loudly: "Please rest assured, even if I am broken into pieces, I will complete the entrustion of the King of Wei!"

Looking at Duan Ganzi who seemed to have left like chicken blood, the smile on the corner of King Wei's mouth couldn't help but slowly spread.

Everyone in the world says that I am not as good as Xinling Jun, and even worse than Zhao Dan's son. But this time I will prove to the whole world that everyone is wrong. They all underestimated my ambitions and misjudged my talents!
