This may not be a bad thing for children from poor families.
Zhao Qian's attitude this time was very firm. No matter what these wealthy families said, he would not let go.
"Your Majesty! This, this is not in accordance with the laws of our ancestors! Promoting merchants in this way will damage the foundation of Zhao State. Please think twice, your Majesty, and don't be deceived by traitors!"
The traitor in these words is clearly pointed at.
Yesterday Duke Xuanping proposed a way to raise grain, and yesterday evening, His Majesty issued such a decree.
Zhao Jin sneered, "My lord, if you can come up with other methods, Your Majesty will not be forced to choose this method."
The aristocratic family that had been so arrogant just now suddenly ceased its activities.
They refused to donate money and food, and now if they are asked to come up with a method, of course it will not work.
"But..." Some officials refused to give up and wanted to fight for it.
Zhao Jin interrupted him directly, "If you can't come up with a better solution, you adults should stop talking nonsense."
"The situation on the border is tense now. If you are not careful, the cavalry of the Long Kingdom may break through the Zhao Kingdom's gate, delaying time and causing a catastrophe. Can you, your lords, bear it at that time?"
This time, no one dared to speak out.
Zhao Jin had seized this opportunity. Even if they didn't want to, they could only knock out their teeth and swallow it!
With the temptation of titles and scientific research, merchants from all over Zhao State shipped money and grain to Bianzhou one after another.
Zhao Jin has been busy doing statistics these days, barely touching the ground with his feet, and only sleeps for two or three hours every day, for fear that it will be too late and Cangbei County will not be able to survive.
He insisted on spending three days to clean up all the grain, and then handed it over to the grain transport officer assigned by Zhao Qian.
Cangbei County, Mucheng.
"How long can the food last?" Qi Jiahan stared at the map in front of him and asked the deputy general next to him distractedly.
"I can still eat for five days. I should be able to survive until the imperial court delivers food."
Qi Jiahan breathed a sigh of relief, nodded, and continued to frown at the map in front of him.
If this battle continues to drag on, Zhao Guo may not be able to sustain it.
He has also heard about the recent situation in Yedu County. The situation is not optimistic. Zhao Xingyu's situation is excellent.
They couldn't solve the problem as soon as possible and went to support Yedu County. I'm afraid they withstood the invasion of Lilong Kingdom, but failed to protect Bianzhou City.
"General!"
Zhao Xingzhi opened the curtain and walked in quickly, with an unstoppable smile on his face, "The food has been delivered! It's a hundred thousand dan!"
Qi Jiahan turned around suddenly, "Great!"
They reported 100,000 dan, but they actually reported it higher on purpose because the court might not be able to raise so much food to send, so they resorted to this trick.
Who knew, there were actually one hundred thousand shi of food!
Qi Jiahan immediately walked out of the camp, and Zhao Xingzhi beside him said in his ear: "This time, it was Xuanping's plan to force the wealthy families to donate food."
"They also induced wealthy businessmen to donate food."
Zhao Xingzhi told Qi Jiahan in a few words what happened in the court recently.
"Hahaha!" Qi Jiahan clapped his hands and laughed, "The Duke of Guo really has a good plan. Those people are probably going to be pissed to death."
"No."
Zhao Xingzhi also couldn't help laughing. These wealthy families, as long as their own interests are involved, are like an iron rooster, really not plucking a hair.
Now that he is forced to actively donate food and money, his face must be very wonderful.
Many soldiers outside gathered around the food delivered, their faces full of joy.
The entire military camp swept away the previous downturn, and the soldiers were a little excited.
When the grain transport officer saw Zhao Xingzhi and Qi Jiahan, he quickly clasped his fists and saluted, "Your Highness the Fourth Prince, General Qi."
Qi Jiahan was particularly kind to the grain transport officer who brought the grain, "No need to be polite, thank you for your hard work."
"Where there is, this is what the general should do."
After the words fell, the grain transport officer said with some embarrassment: "However, Your Highness, General Qi, it is not easy to raise these grains. Some of them are old grains. There is really nothing we can do about it."
"The food in the national treasury has almost been emptied."
The smiles on Qi Jiahan and Zhao Xingzhi's faces faded a little, but they also knew that the court had tried their best and did not say much after hearing this.
"Okay, I understand, General."
Hearing this, the grain transport officer breathed a sigh of relief.
However, Qi Jiahan and Zhao Xingzhi did not know at this time that this batch of food would turn the entire war situation around.
A few days later, inside the camp.
"General Qi, please bring someone with me."
Qi Jiahan frowned and said, "This trip is particularly dangerous. It is considered a risky move, so let's find another person."
"General Qi," Zhao Xingzhi refused to give in and said in a deep voice: "Among these generals, no one is more suitable than me."
Zhao Xingzhi's finger fell on the map, and he followed a path from the Mucheng to the royal court of Lilong Kingdom. "We still have some explosives left. As long as we severely damage the royal court, we can force them to retreat."
"If we can take advantage of the opportunity to capture the Royal Court, that would be even more wonderful!"
Qi Jiahan had always been decisive, but at this time he had to hesitate. Zhao Xingzhi was the prince after all.
"General Qi." Zhao Xingzhi called again.
Qi Jiahan breathed out a shallow breath and said in a deep voice: "Okay!"
On the second day, Li Longguo attacked.
This time, the originally destroyed explosives workshop has been rebuilt again, and some explosives were barely driven out.
Some of them were taken away by Zhao Xingzhi to attack the royal court, while some were left to defend the city.
This time, the Zhao army had the upper hand.
"Hit harder!" Qi Jiahan said in a rough voice, "We can't let them notice."
Otherwise, once the Long State troops return to defend, Zhao Xingzhi may face the dilemma of being attacked from both front and rear.
The armies of both sides were fighting in front of the fortress. Suddenly, for some unknown reason, the Zhao army, which had the upper hand, slowly fell into a disadvantage.
Qi Jiahan frowned and raised his long sword to fight against the general of Lilong Kingdom, but suddenly felt cramps in his abdomen!
As soon as the strength in his hand relaxed, the opponent's long knife suddenly pierced his shoulder.
If Qi Jiahan hadn't reacted very quickly, the knife might have penetrated his chest!
No, why do you have sudden abdominal pain?
Qi Jiahan observed the situation of Zhao's army and found that most of the soldiers were in this situation.
Oops!
"Ming Jin withdraws his troops!"
On the tower of Mucheng, drums for withdrawing troops rang out, and the Zhao army withdrew towards the city little by little, holding on to the severe pain in their stomachs.
Wan Yanbai squinted his eyes and soon noticed something strange about Zhao Jun, "Follow me! They are unwell!"
The morale of Li Long's army was greatly shaken, and they almost clung to Zhao's army!
After Qi Jiahan and others retreated into the city and the city gate was closed, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's okay, go to the tower immediately!"
Qi Jiahan rested against the wall for a while.
