At that time, the Great Shang will be Daozu, and the Southern Qi will be Yumei. If you are unhappy one day, you can capture as many of their cities as you like.
At the same time, it can also deter Southern Qi and prevent it from uniting with Western Shu.
Zhao Rui coughed twice, put down the luminous pearl in his hand, and walked to the map.
"With these two barren mountain ranges, it would be better for me, the great merchant, to send troops to secure the forty-eight counties of Danyang for you! The prince is really a good businessman, and he will not suffer at all."
Zhou Huan just pretended to be honest and laughed twice.
"Lu and Zhou are short of food. The shortage is severe. In the past two years, there has been a severe drought in the country. Starvation is everywhere and countless victims. Only by taking the land of Danyang can we have a chance of survival! If King Zhao feels that this price is not enough, I can add more
.”
Zhao Rui thought for a while: "The land of Danyang can be granted to you, and I can also allocate food to you in Luzhou! However, from now on, Luzhou must ban the Great Shang Order and must spend 300,000 elites.
, at my disposal!"
Zhou Huan hesitated for a moment, then nodded. Now the territory of Luzhou is in dire straits. If the domestic food crisis is not solved as soon as possible, the country may not be safe. Why do we care about this?
Besides, Zhao Rui also agreed to allocate grain to Lu and Zhou, which was a great thing.
"Okay, since His Highness King Zhao is so sincere, I won't say anything more. Let's make a covenant here!"
Zhao Rui nodded, and then pointed in the direction of Chen Song.
At the same time, Chen and Song bordered Peng, Wei, and Lu and Zhou, and had a long and narrow land adjacent to the original Liang Kingdom. Now they have acquired several cities in the southern part of Liang Kingdom, and their strength has grown a lot.
In addition, the country is already rich, and if it is allowed to develop, it will definitely cause headaches for big businessmen in the future.
"To capture Danyang, I, the great merchant, must stock up a force of troops here to deal with Chen Song!"
Zhou Huan had no objection at all to the temporary request and agreed without thinking.
His visit to Dashang this time was a secret trip, and he could not stay here any longer. Besides, the situation in the country was already imminent. If he continued to delay, he might run out of food for the royal family.
After the two parties signed the covenant, Zhou Huan did not stay here longer and left in a hurry with his entourage.
Looking at the backs of this group of people, the emotions in Zhao Rui's eyes were a little complicated.
Now Lu Zhou is equivalent to a rich man with various mineral resources in his hands. He has a lot of money in his hands, but there is no way to exchange them for the necessary supplies for survival.
Just like Zhou Huan's subordinates, although they are dressed in rich clothes, their stomachs are not necessarily full.
In fact, it is very simple to solve Lu Zhou's domestic affairs. They only need to agree to the entry of Dashang's commercial department into their country, or to open a bank post within them, so that their domestic mineral resources can be continuously transported out, and then
Send all necessary food and daily necessities in.
Unfortunately, in the eyes of these vassal states, merchants are still the lowest existence and cannot accept this form of reconciliation.
In fact, there is another reason why Zhao Rui established the Ministry of Commerce, which is to manage the entire world through business.
After all, in this era, many vassal states are purely agricultural countries. As long as they use a little business model to operate, they may be able to completely destroy a vassal state economically.
It's a pity that the Ministry of Commerce is strictly prohibited in other princely states except the territory of Dashang.
