In the end, the deal was settled for 40,000 taels of gold, and the eight thousand Qin army got back their own tattered equipment. These were all picked out from the captured materials. Since it was a pick, of course, the good ones should be kept and the bad ones should be kept.
Give it to them.
Who asked Lu Buwei to keep bargaining? Why not just give him 50,000 taels?
"Um... I still have some Qin army equipment here. Would you like Prime Minister Lu to buy it together?" Ji Jie looked like a profiteer. In front of him, Lu Buwei felt that he was just a big boss who could only be slaughtered.
Lu Buwei rolled his eyes and thought to himself, just make me mad. You cheated me of 260,000 taels of gold before anything happened. Do you think it is easy for us in Qin to earn such a little money? It seems that we need to find a few
The small country bullied them and earned the money back, right! Immediately advise the King of Qin after returning home, otherwise how will the hole of more than 200,000 yuan be filled?
"No need!" Lu Buwei waved his hand and said: "The Qin State is not short of equipment for the time being. Why don't Lord Zhaowen keep it for now? You may not know when it will be used. Then you have to give me a discount!"
"
"Definitely!"
The golden gold piled up like a mountain, and Ji Jie finally understood the meaning of the sentence - once the cannon goes off, there are ten thousand taels of gold. In the past, I always felt that war was a costly act, but now it seems that it is hard to say whether it is a loss or a profit.
…
The loss of more than 30,000 soldiers and horses was compensated with 260,000 taels of gold. None of the Jiuding that King Yu wanted was found. Every time he thought of this, King Qin was so angry that he itched his teeth.
No, the lost money must be recovered. His eyes fell on a "big piece of meat" in the south of China. The products there were rich and the people were prosperous. He had to give them a hard blow.
"Come, tell me, Prime Minister Lu, General Meng Ao, General Wang Jian, I want to discuss with them the attack on Chu!"
…
The two brothers Ji Jia and Ji Zhang were exiled. The person closest to the emperor in the Zhou Empire was Ji Jie. Although King Nan of Zhou had six sons, the other four were all concubines without any titles or titles. Ji Jie was at the height of his power.
There's no comparison.
A group of veteran ministers were unwilling to lose their power and came forward one after another to support Ji Jie's ascension to the throne of emperor. They wanted to win Ji Jie's favor and make a fortune from it.
Ji Jie disagreed.
As time passed, his die-hard subordinates also began to instigate this matter. Ji Jian and Zhao Ling persuaded him to ascend the throne more than once.
Ji Jie still disagreed.
What's so good about being the emperor? From the beginning of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty to the present, there have been more than 20 kings, and the territory controlled is getting smaller and smaller. By the Spring and Autumn Period, you have to look at the faces of the vassal states, and you have to high-profilely promote the common master of the world.
His political philosophy was that he was afraid that any prince would destroy him if he became unhappy.
Ji Xueling found Ji Jie who was reading a book.
"Haha, is something wrong with Ling'er?" Ji Jie asked, Ji Xueling's face was full of questions.
"There's something wrong!" Ji Xueling said straight to the point: "The people and the army are very vocal about your ascension to the throne, but why are you not interested at all?"
Ji Jie smiled and expressed his thoughts. Instead of being an emperor in vain, he would be happier as Lord Zhaowen.
"But a country cannot live without a king for a day!" Ji Xueling sat next to Ji Jie and leaned in his arms naturally, saying: "Even if the Great Zhou Dynasty falls, the position of emperor cannot be empty. Without the emperor, seven
The Congress will attack us even more unscrupulously! If the emperor is here, they are all princes under the enfeoffment of the emperor of Zhou, so they don’t dare to be too presumptuous!"
There is some truth to this, but Ji Jie has no interest in being the emperor. The historical figure he admires most is Cao Cao, who used the emperor to control the princes. This man never became an emperor until his death, but he had the final say who became the emperor.
, this is called great talent and great strategy.
No, you can’t call Cao Cao your brother now. He was a figure who appeared hundreds of years later!
"I have a suggestion!" Ji Xueling said with a smile: "You can choose one of my concubine brothers to be the crown prince, and declare to the outside world that the crown prince's enthronement ceremony will be held on a certain day, and you, as the governor of the Zhou Dynasty, will be held.
How about it?"
This is a good idea! The emperor lets others do it, and the lifeblood of Dazhou is still in his own hands.
"Ling'er is so smart, come on, give me a reward... Boo~" Ji Jie kissed Ji Xueling vigorously, and then began to move his hand up and down.
After a long kiss, when Ji Jie's hands were about to untie Ji Xueling's belt, she grabbed the two evil hands in a panic and gasped: "Brother Jie, don't be like this, okay? My father has just been buried.
I want to keep my filial piety for him!"
"Keeping filial piety?" Ji Jie was stunned, thinking that when a TV series reaches such a stage, it will take three years at every turn, and Yaya's father will have to wait three years too!
At this time, Ji Xueling said very shyly: "When Father's 100 days pass, I will... then... be able to be with Brother Jie..."
Ji Jie was ecstatic, it turned out that it was only a hundred days! That means that in three months, he would be able to push the beautiful woman in front of him to the ground, hahaha!
…
"People from Zhao country?" Ji Jie frowned and thought for a long time. He couldn't remember any friends from Zhao country. He did go to Zhao country twice, but he always made a big fuss and had no time to make friends.
Just now, the gatekeepers of the city came to report, thinking that a friend of Zhao who claimed to be Ji Jie wanted to see him.
"Your Majesty, why don't I drive him away!" Menzi said, "That man is sitting in the carriage and won't get out of the carriage. He doesn't even dare to show his true face. There must be something wrong!"
"Wait, let them come in, I really want to know who this person who claims to be Zhao's friend is!" Ji Jie said with a smile.
After a while, under the leadership of the door, a master and two servants walked into the living room. The man dressed as the master was wearing a bamboo hat. The bamboo hat was pressed down so low that his appearance could not be seen clearly. The two servants walked vigorously, and they could be seen as martial arts.
The very tall kind.
The man slowly took off his bamboo hat. Ji Jie's eyes widened. This guy turned out to be Zhao Qian, the prince of Zhao!
Ji Jie quickly stood up, walked over and asked, "Your Highness, why are you here? Come on, come on, come on, please sit down!"
Zhao Qian waved his hands with a serious expression, and the two servants turned and left, closing the door tightly on the way out.
Zhao Qian then regained his expression when he was with Ji Jie, and said with a smile: "Brother-in-law, I came all the way here to be your messenger!"
Brother-in-law?
What do you mean? Could it be that this guy knows about my relationship with Zhao Qian? That’s not right. The little girl said she would never tell others!
Seeing Ji Jie stunned on the spot, Zhao Qian punched him and said with a smile: "I know what you are thinking. Don't worry, no one knows about this except me! If my father hadn't betrothed his sister to the Korean prince, she would
You won't ask me for help, and I won't know this! You are so unkind, you actually deceived my sister, and I didn't even know. To tell you the truth, I have decided on this brother-in-law, who is the prince of South Korea?
, he is not worthy of being my brother-in-law at all!"
Ji Jie's head was a little confused, and he signaled Zhao Qian to stop first and collect his thoughts.
