Lu Buwei, who made a living with his rare goods, does not resent others saying that he was once a businessman. In his opinion, there is not much difference between the way of businessman and the way of the country. It is nothing more than personal interests and the interests of the country. How to achieve the same goal?
Protecting this interest is what those in power need to consider.
But just because he doesn't feel disgusted doesn't mean that anyone can mention this matter in front of him, let alone in a place like Zhangtai Palace.
What the other party said was a bit of a slap in the face.
At this moment, the entire Zhangtai Palace fell silent, and everyone was watching the two confronting each other.
Lu Buwei was silent for a while, his eyes were like a deep and calm pool, reflecting Zhao Jia's face. As he opened his mouth, an old voice sounded in the hall: "Deal? First of all, you must have chips. Forgive me for my poor eyesight, but it's true.
I don’t see what leverage the young master has to make Qin retreat."
The tone was low and there was a hint of chill. It was obvious that if Zhao Jia couldn't give a reasonable explanation, his life in Qin would not be easy, and he might not even survive tomorrow.
"I have a method that can replace the bamboo slips and make it lighter and easier to carry. If the Qin State is willing to withdraw its troops, I am willing to donate this method to the Qin State."
Zhao Jia's expression remained unchanged, with a pair of red phoenix eyes showing a faint smile, and he said with great confidence.
"?!"
Chang'an Juncheng's eyes paused, and then he frowned slightly.
Is Zhao Jia really playing?!
What Zhao Jia said yesterday sounded completely different from what he said today.
The former might just be idle and boring, but Cheng Qi occasionally likes to mess with some things. The latter is completely life-threatening. Zhangtai Palace is not a place for Zhao Jia to joke.
The king and ministers of a country are all watching.
Zhao Jia is now just a hostage of an enemy country, not Zhang Yi who was the Prime Minister back then and can bully the kings of various countries.
If you want to deceive other countries, you must have equal identity and status.
Lu Buwei sneered, glanced sideways at Zhao Jia, and said in a deep voice: "Haha, Master, do you think our Qin State is easy to deceive, and you want Qin State to withdraw its troops in just a few words? If Qin State really withdraws its troops, it will be a real joke!"
"The first batch of finished products will be ready in half a month. If you don't believe it, you might as well wait for a while. If what I say is false in any way, King Qin can do whatever he wants with me, including my life."
The smile on Zhao Jia's face faded and he said in a solemn tone.
Lu Buwei was shocked and confused. He didn't understand why Zhao Jia was so confident. Could it be that what the other party said was true and that he could really make something that could replace the bamboo slips.
But even if there is such a method, it will be of no use to the growth of Qin's national power. At least Lu Buwei can't see it now, and the temptation is limited.
"The items made by this method will be thinner than silk, and words can be easily written on them. The method is simple and the cost is even lower. It can be made from bamboo, linen, etc. Anyone who knows the method can make it.
Once this thing replaces the bamboo slips, it will benefit all people in the world!
If Qin implements this method, everyone in the world will be grateful to Qin!"
Zhao Jia looked at Ying Zheng on the throne and said slowly.
"In that case, why don't you implement it in Zhao country?"
Cheng Yu stared at Zhao Jia with doubtful eyes and asked.
Zhao Jiayan was concise and concise: "This method has only been perfected recently."
Ying Zheng waited for everyone to finish, then his eyes moved from Zhao Jia to Lu Buwei, "What does the Prime Minister think?"
"I think this method is dispensable and has no benefit to the Qin State. What's more, I don't know whether the method of Zhao Guogong's method is true. If the Qin State believes in him and retreats, it may become the laughing stock of the six countries in the future!"
Lu Buwei paused, looked at Ying Zheng on the throne with slightly focused eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Please think again!"
Ying Zheng's eyes darkened, and he naturally understood what Lu Buwei meant. The other party was warning him not to make arbitrary decisions.
"If the Qin State cares about the gains and losses of a city or a land, there is really no need to care about this method, just send troops to attack Zhao."
Zhao Jia chuckled lightly and said quite casually.
"Your Majesty, I think the words of Master Zhao Jia are credible. Everyone in the world says that our country, Qin, is a country of tigers and wolves. This method may change the views of the six countries in the world on Qin!"
Chang'an Jun Chengyu thought of the things in Zhao Jia's courtyard, and decided to take a gamble. He took a step forward, raised his hands and said.
Lu Buwei paused in stroking his beard and glanced at Chenglong. The coldness flashed from his eyes. He didn't notice that the child back then had grown so big now!
"I also feel that it is better to believe that it exists than to believe that it does not exist."
At this moment, a man wearing a luxurious robe also stood up and said softly.
"Why, Lord Changping also believes what this son says?"
A strange color flashed in Lu Buwei's eyes. Looking at Lord Changping who suddenly jumped out, he said unhurriedly, Lord Changping is undoubtedly much more important than Lord Changan Chenglong. The other party represents not only himself, but also Lord Changping.
Behind him are the Queen Mother Huayang and the Chu faction. This force cannot be underestimated in Qin.
The other party used to be very low-key and never confronted him head-on, but today he suddenly jumped out.
"It's just a matter of half a month. During this period, the Prime Minister can continue to allocate food, grass and baggage."
Lord Changping smiled and persuaded.
Lu Buwei frowned and was quite displeased: "Soldiers are very fast, and there are too many variables in half a month. Could it be that Lord Changping doesn't know such a simple truth?"
"Since the failure of the Five Kingdoms' joint attack on Qin, Zhao's soldiers and horses have been stationed near the border. At this time, sending troops to attack Zhao will definitely be a fierce battle. It is always good to make more preparations. Of course, this is just my humble opinion.
If the Prime Minister feels there is a problem, he can speak up and we will discuss it together. After all, it is a national matter, and it is always good to have one more person to discuss it with."
Lord Changping said with a kind smile, without any hint of tension.
"Since Mr. Changping said so, please tell me how to decide on this matter."
Lu Buwei took a deep look at Lord Changping, swept his gaze across the ministers, and said in a leisurely manner.
As soon as the words fell, the civil and military officials began to discuss it. Some were in favor, and some were opposed. The chaos was like a vegetable market. Zhao Jia looked at the side with his eyes twitching. This is similar to Xi Ni's ability.
My ancestors were also very good at playing.
He did not open his mouth, but watched the whole show with his eyes and nose, and his nose and heart. At the same time, he glanced at Zhao Ji from the corner of his eye and found that this beautiful aunt was also looking at him.
It's a pity that the other party not only saw him, but also the farce of the ministers. There was a little sarcasm in her eyes from time to time, as if she looked down upon the group of guys fighting for power and profit below. In her eyes, all men in the world have the same virtue.
sex.
"Zheng'er, I'm exhausted."
Zhao Ji raised her hand and stroked her forehead, a look of exhaustion appeared between her brows, and her red lips parted slightly.
"Since the Queen Mother is not feeling well, the court meeting will be here today. I will take the Queen Mother back to the palace."
Upon hearing this, Ying Zheng stood up and bowed his hands to Zhao Ji, then helped Zhao Ji away.
When the officials saw this scene, they shut up one after another and bowed respectfully.
