Chapter 60: King Zhao of Qin (Part 2)

King Zhao of Qin was so powerful and boundless. Datian ordered his pupils to shrink, but he said bluntly: "Your Majesty, please calculate the account carefully, and you will know."

"Tell me." King Zhao of Qin took a breath and forced himself to calm down.

"In the battle of Changping, Daqin dispatched 580,000 soldiers to eat a mountain in a day. After three years, how much money is spent? He sent the people, transported grain and grass, dug trenches, and chewed horses, how much money is spent?" Datianling calculated with his fingers.

After tidying up two accounts, King Zhao of Qin's face became gloomy.

With King Zhao of Qin's cleverness, he certainly knew that what Datian Ling said was a truth. The 580,000 army would eat a mountain in one day. In three years, how many mountains would it have to be eaten? Not to mention, he also mobilized millions of civilians to transport food and grass, dig trenches, and assist the Qin army. How much does it cost to eat?

Datian Ling glanced at King Zhao of Qin, as if he didn't see King Zhao of Qin's ugly face, and then settled the accounts: "In the Battle of Changping, the whole country of Qin was shocked, the sharp soldiers fought in front, the civilians were busy, and the fertile land was not allowed to be cultivated, and it was all up to women, children, the elderly and the young. How much does this have to reduce the yield? How much does it reduce the tax on money, grain and taxes?"

The scale of the Changping War was unprecedented. Qin State was the power of the whole country. It struggled to win it, and consumed all the accumulation of generations. At that time, Qin State had only a population of five million, but it could support such a large war. This was a miracle. I sighed for countless future generations that Qin State was really powerful.

"Can you add a tribute?" King Zhao of Qin's face became even more ugly.

"If the emperor is not afraid of hurting the country's foundation," Datian Ling's words could be angered.

"You..." King Zhao of Qin was very angry and held back his anger, saying, "Now, the Changping War is over. As long as you grit your teeth and destroy Zhao State, everything will be easy to say. It is not a big deal to add some taxes."

"Your Majesty, Qin's laws are determined, and taxes are fixed, and they cannot be changed at will." Datian Ling raised his head and said loudly.

"Bang!" King Zhao of Qin slapped his right hand on the short table, his eyes burst out with anger, and he roared, saying, "You are so brave. How dare you kill me, I will kill you!"

Datian ordered his neck to be stuttered, and Ang Ang said: "Your Majesty, Qin is not Shandong, so it is not a crime to be punished by the king. If the minister is guilty, he should be punished by Qin law."

Qin's law is strict, and even the King of Qin cannot destroy it. To kill ministers, one must be punished according to the law and give convincing legitimate reasons. Otherwise, the court and the people will be in a raging way. The Qin State has never happened since Shang Yang's reforms.

Datian Ling choked King Zhao of Qin for a long time and couldn't speak. He took a long breath and forced himself to calm down, saying, "Come on! Datian Ling is loyal to his duties and deserves what he said, and is given a wine title."

In order to encourage his ministers to speak freely, Qin State had various rewards. Giving a rank of wine is a light reward and a sign of honor.

This is the difference between Qin and the six Shandong countries. If it is in Shandong, the king's intention is to be punished for a serious crime and he should be killed. In Qin, nothing is wrong. Not only that, Datian Ling is right, but the King of Qin will also be rewarded.

Datian Ling took over the wine title, thanked King Zhao of Qin, and drank it all in one drink. King Zhao of Qin waved his hand, and Datian Ling retreated.

"Your Majesty, the Prime Minister is here." Chief Secretary Huanxing came to report.

"Please, Prime Minister." King Zhao of Qin was excited, raised his white eyebrows and smiled on his face. He relied on Fan Sui very much. There must be good news for Fan Sui here.

Fan Sui walked in quickly. Before he could greet King Zhao of Qin, he heard King Zhao of Qin hurriedly say, "Prime Minister, Bai Qi repeatedly wrote letters to request to send troops to destroy Zhao. However, Datian ordered that there was not much money and food, so could the Prime Minister have a way?"

In the century-old Warring States Period, no Warring States Period was destroyed. How exciting it was to destroy Zhao State. However, Qin State was consumed and had no money or food. Even with a powerful hero like King Zhao of Qin, he would be helpless.

"Your Majesty, everything Datian Ling said is true. When the overall situation of the Changping War was settled, I went to check the treasury in person, but there was really not much left." Fan Sui smiled bitterly and said, "This is the accumulation of four generations of kings who have been in the midst of Duke Xiao and have been in the past hundred years."

"There is no way?" King Zhao of Qin was greatly disappointed.

"I can plot against the six countries in Shandong, and can make careful calculations, but I can't make any money and food out of nothing." Fan Sui was very upset.

Zhao State had only one last breath. It only took Qin State a second to make up for it and it was done. But there was no money or food. Who can not be upset?

It’s like a big pervert discovering a naked beauty right in front of him, and he is actually impotence. How can this not make people feel uncomfortable?

"So, what's the matter with the Prime Minister coming late at night?" King Zhao of Qin was very disappointed, but knew that this was something that no one could do, and he would not be willing to accept it.

"A guest came from Shandong. If Bai Qi destroyed Zhao State, he would have been the third Duke of Qin and was above me. I, the Wei people, would be in danger." Fan Sui reported truthfully.

"But Lu Zhonglian?" King Zhao of Qin stood up suddenly, his eyes widened, and murderous intent emerged.

"That's right." Fan Sui did not hide it.

"He beats gongs in ten places, and he is in nine places. He is against the Qin everywhere, and he is targeting the Qin in everything, and kill him!" King Zhao of Qin shouted loudly, like a thunder explosion.

Lu Zhonglian was a strong man in the anti-Qin period and opposed Qin everywhere. King Zhao of Qin hated him to the core.

"Your Majesty, no, absolutely not." Fan Sui hurriedly stopped him and said, "Lu Zhonglian has always been famous and valued by the world. If he is killed in Qin, Qin will be criticized. And 304% of the officials of Qin come from Shandong, and 607% of the officials come from Shandong. Because of this, the scholars blame Qin and will not go west to Qin. Wouldn't they lose the big ones because of the small?"

Most of the officials and officials of Qin came from the six countries in Shandong. If scholars did not enter Qin, the consequences would be very serious.

"Why can't I kill him?" King Zhao of Qin gritted his teeth and wanted to tear Lu Zhonglian into pieces, but knew that what Fan Sui said was very reasonable, so he had to endure the murderous intent and asked, "The Prime Minister thinks, what should the situation be done now?"

"The State of Zhao is weak. As long as the Qin soldiers arrive, they will be destroyed. However, once the State of Zhao is destroyed, the Union will surely arise. When the Union and Zong are together, the army will be in chaos, and it will not be settled for three or five years. However, the Qin Dynasty is short of money and food, and it is difficult to fight." Fan Sui took a long breath, pondered for a while, and said, "It is just a matter of Lu Zhonglian's entry into Qin, and he will take advantage of the situation to withdraw his troops, rest and recuperate, and take the initiative to carry out the future."

"Your Majesty, General's Memorial." Before Fan Sui's words were finished, Huan Xing quickly stepped in and presented Bai Qi's Memorial.

King Zhao of Qin took it in his hand, looked it for a while, sighed, opened it, and said, "As expected, he asked for the order to send troops again. Bai Qi, Bai Qi, what do you think is fighting in the war? The battle is about money and food. If there is no money or food, what should the Qin Dynasty use to fight?"

"Bang!" He smashed Bai Qi's memorial heavily on the short desk and closed his eyes in pain.

"The general is eager to make achievements, and he reports three times a day, but he doesn't know how difficult it is for the Qin Dynasty." Fan Sui sighed.

The great King Zhao of Qin, and the famous minister Fan Sui of the generation, the king and his minister were speechless, with only a stare at a small eye.

"Your Majesty, the letter from the Young Master Yi." Huan Xing came in again, holding a copper tube in his hand.

"Extraordinary?" King Zhao of Qin raised his eyebrows and asked, "Which Extraordinary?"

"The proton of Zhao, the prince's concubine's son Yiren's son." Fan Sui reminded him.

"Oh, it's him." King Zhao of Qin then remembered that he had such a grandson, and asked in surprise: "He is still alive? Didn't Zhao kill him?"

Qin Yiren was an abandoned son and was still alive. He was really surprised. In his opinion, Zhao State should have been killed long ago.

"Your Majesty, I will leave." Qin Yiren wrote that he must beg for gold. It was nothing if Fan Sui stayed there, so he said goodbye and left.

King Zhao of Qin took the parchment from Huan Xing, but didn't look at it, and said to Huan Xing: "It must be the one who begged for gold."

After a slow unfolding, he was surprised after looking at it: "It's not a beggar for gold."

"Don't you beg for gold?" Who doesn't know how sad the days of the proton were? Everyone thought that Qin Yiren beg for gold. Huan Xing was quite surprised when he heard this.

"You dare to plan for the country, even the king of Qin Zhao smiled contemptuously and threw the parchment into the burning furnace.

The parchment was licked by the blue flame, and was about to turn into ashes. Huan Xing was in a hurry and grabbed it out, and he kept patting it. He finally tried to put out the flames. He saw a good piece of parchment that had been burned to a big hole and a small hole. Only one sentence left: "Handan can be broken, Zhao cannot perish, and Zhao must be forced to Han."
