958. Cheaper Qi country
However, worrying about it, this bottom line still can't be put down, Wang Jian looked at Zou Ji and said: "I, the Qin State, will never do anything to abandon allies!" ”
Looking at Wang Qian's appearance, Zou Ji knew that this Wang Jian could not be easily convinced, Wang Jian looked at Zou Ji and said: "As long as Zhao State does not fight, my Qin State will immediately stop war with your country!" ”
Wang Jian hinted at Zou Ji and asked Zou Ji to persuade Zhao Guo, and Wang Jian also believed that Zou Ji could easily persuade Zhao Guo.
After all, Zhao Guo no longer has the ability to confront Qi State, and there is no way to fight against Qi State with eggs and stones, and kill himself.
Three days later.
Zhao State Embassy, where Zou Ji lived, Zhao Cheng came to see Zou Ji with a heavy gift: "Sir, I, King Zhao Huiwen, am willing to recognize Zhao Qing's status!" ”
Zhao Guo finally chose to admit it, because they were worried that the Qi army would press the border, leading to the complete destruction of Zhao State, and he was unwilling to be this eternal sinner.
Zhao Guo perished, Zhao He is the first sin, although he is young, but he is the king of Zhao, the king of Zhao, Zhao died in his hands, it can be said that he has to serve as the first sin, and the second crime must be this Zhao Cheng, because Zhao Cheng is the minister of Zhao State.
After Zou Ji heard Zhao Cheng's answer, he knew that his task was completed, Zhao Guo admitted defeat, and Qi Guo won.
Zou Ji looked at Zhao Cheng, and then handed him a document, which basically recognized the status of Zhao Qing as the king, and secondly, he wanted to compensate for a certain economic loss and help the construction of the land.
And Qi State understands the righteousness and does not ask for any compensation, after all, Qi State is a helper and belongs to the helper, this battle is won, what are you going to claim for? After all, they didn't declare war on you, and you took the initiative to help fight people on your behalf.
Of course, the money given to Dai Di will basically fall into the hands of Qi State.
After all, this generation is a puppet, a puppet kingdom that the Qi State can annex at any time.
Zhao Cheng looked at the amount of compensation and materials, and then looked at Zou Ji: "Is this claim more?" My Zhao land is also in ruins, and I need economic construction, if I lose to the land, what should I do with Zhao land? ”
"Sir, you should know that Zhao Di and Dai Di are one family, and the king of Zhao Di and the king of Dai Di are the same clan, dare to ask the king of Dai Di, can you watch your former homeland become a wasteland?" Zhao Cheng looked at Zou Ji and said.
Of course, Zhao Cheng also knew that although this claim was nominally paid to Dai Di, it was actually given to Qi State, but this kind of thing has to be talked about, and if it can be talked about well, this compensation can be reduced.
Zou Ji actually knows that today's Zhao State is simply unable to support such a heavy compensation, even if Zhao Guo agrees, he can't give Qi State these things, after all, Zhao State itself is very poor, so it fell into civil war and foreign war.
And the Qin State that supports him, the Zhao State also has to provide certain resources, although the Qin State sends troops, and the materials are at the Qin State's own expense, but the Qin State is to help you fight, you can't give no resources to others, let people help you fight at their own expense, right?
Therefore, when the Qin State sent troops, the Zhao State also gave the Qin State resources, of course, the Qin State sent a lot of troops, and there were 600,000 people with armor in Wang Qian, not counting the reinforcements behind, which was a lot of expenses.
And if Zhao Guo wants to support his own soldiers and horses, it is absolutely impossible to contract Qin's soldiers and horses, but because he is helping himself, Zhao Guo also bears a trace of expenses, although it is a trace, but for poor Zhao State, it is also a big expense.
Zou Ji was silent for a while, this compensation was added by Zou Ji himself, because the bottom line of Qi did not ask for compensation, because Qi only wanted to replace the land and money, and did not want to ask for it, mainly because Qi also knew that most of Zhao State's territory was wasteland, and now that he was fighting, he could not afford to compensate Qi State.
If he demanded compensation, it might backfire and make Zhao refuse Qi's request.
But Zou Ji knew that Zhao would promise an armistice, so he deliberately paid compensation, of course, this can be discussed, if it can't be negotiated, at least it can guarantee that the land is independent.
He looked at Zhao Cheng and asked, "With Zhao Xiang's intentions, how much compensation can you give to Qi Guo?" ”
"Three million silver, it is the silver deposit of my Zhao country's treasury!" Zhao Cheng looked at Zou Ji and said.
The entire treasury of Zhao State is only three million taels of silver, which is enough to see the poverty of Zhao State, of course, Zhao State still has some grain reserves, but this is impossible to give to others.
The entire Zhao State basically relies on these stored grains to survive this year, if it is given to the Qi State, how will the Zhao State live?
In fact, before the war, the entire treasury of Zhao had 50 million taels of silver, 8 million gold, and 800,000 catties of grain.
This is all due to Zhao Yong's governance, why did the first war continue, and the treasury of Zhao State was only three million taels of silver.
Zhao has a total of three treasury, namely the sand dune, Handan, and Daicheng, and the sand dunes are the main treasury, with the most silver and the most grain and grass.
This is mainly because Zhao Yong wants to feed the elite of Zhao State and control the entire Zhao State as a whole, so he holds the main treasury.
Such a scale of the treasury is also the peak state of Zhao in a hundred years, Zhao Yong wants to do great things, and these stored grains are definitely not enough for him to do big things.
Zhao is a barren country, although there is a lot of grain, but the harvest is small, every year Zhao Yong needs to take out the grain to help people who have not planted good land.
But if the harvest is small, the grain and grass collected will inevitably be less, but in order to increase the scale of grain and grass in Zhao State, the grain and grass collected by the country are harvested according to seventy percent, and you have to hand over seven catties of ten catties of grain.
In order to suppress this anger, in addition to the unique environment of Zhao State, there are often people who do not plant well and have no food to eat, at this time, Zhao Yong opened a warehouse to release grain.
This is basically taking the money of the rich to save the poor, of course, in order to have enough food and grass, Zhao Yong also encouraged people to go to farming, and those who did not farm were punished.
Therefore, the grain stock of Zhao is higher than that of previous dynasties.
If this goes on for a long time, Zhao's treasury will definitely become more and more substantial, Zhao Yong also thinks so, when the grain and grass are full, in addition, Zhao's elite soldiers and strong generals will definitely be able to do a great career in the future.
But there are unforeseen circumstances, Zhao Yong thought very well, but his two sons actually launched an infighting, and he himself was killed in the Dune Palace.
The elite of Zhao State in his hands did not help him complete the counterinsurgency, and the Qi army broke through the sand dunes, and the contents of Zhao's treasury were in the hands of Qi State.
But fortunately, after Zhao Cheng got the sand dune, he transferred the money, but he did not transfer the grain, because he wanted to sit on the sand dunes to fight against Zhao Zhang, and the war needed food, and the sand dunes were a granary, so he did not transfer the grain, which also allowed the later Qi army to take advantage and get 50% of the grain stored in the treasury of Zhao.
The remaining 50 percent are in Handan and Daicheng.
