924. Trachoma
"Could it be that the Qi Kingdom is richer than the merchants?" King Wei Hui looked at Hui Shi and asked.
Hui Shi nodded: "Qi is really richer than a businessman, Qi Xiaobai is very business-minded, it can be said that the treasury of Qi is full, and Qi Xiaobai's small treasury is also very rich, comparable to the treasury of our princes!" ”
"Qi Xiaobai is richer than the merchants, so he is not worried about the merchants infiltrating the court with money!" Hui Shi looked at King Wei Hui and said.
"Hui Shi, looking at your appearance, are you asking me to give up on developing business?" King Wei Hui looked at Hui Shi and asked.
"No, Your Majesty, I support you in developing business, but how to develop, we need to think carefully, if those business families develop strongly, how we suppress it, this requires us to plan well!"
"We must have a plan that is in line with our Wei State, and we are doing it, if we can't find a plan that is in line with our Wei State, the minister advises the king, don't do it, otherwise you may follow in the footsteps of the Song State!" Hui Shi looked at King Wei Hui and said.
"Hui Shi's reminder, the widow will consider it deeply, you are right, we must have a perfect plan!" King Wei Hui looked at Hui Shi and said.
Looking at the prosperous cities of Qi one after another, which are all brought about by the development of commerce in Qi State, he King Wei Hui is also moved, Qi Country is not only strong, but the people are also very rich.
If such a country is not strong, isn't that too unreasonable?
King Wei Hui couldn't believe that the small country of Dongyi could develop to such a strong point, before coming to the Qi country, Wei Hui Wang felt that Qi Xiaobai's strategy was very good, and there were famous generals to complement each other, so that the Qi country developed strongly.
But after coming to the Qi State today, he knew that his idea was wrong before, and the Qi State could develop to such a strong country, which was a set of powerful roads that suited him.
The state of Qi took a route that no one dared to take, that is, to develop commerce and support the new aristocracy of merchants to come out.
Qi Xiaobai was not worried at all about the development of the Qi State into the Song State, because Qi Xiaobai had a powerful army, and he had his own business methods in addition to the Qi State clan, and he had enough economy.
Although you businessmen are rich in making money, I Qi Xiaobai is also very fast in making money, and you may not be able to make more money than me when you join forces.
If there is no Qi Xiaobai for me, you will all become poor in an instant, what are the rich most afraid of? That is to become a pauper.
Although the Wei clan has governed the Wei state for many years, they do not know how to do business, nor do they have their own business philosophy, they do not know how to do business, how to increase the income of the Wei state, and the Wei clan has become a rich merchant of the Wei state.
Although if the Wei clan went into business, if it had a good connection, it would inevitably become the first business family in Wei, but Wei did not know how to do business, in their eyes, merchants were buying and selling things, such a simple thing.
If that's all you know, how do you get past those who have been in business for generations? Although Wei suppressed merchants, Wei had traditional merchants, and if Wei opened up for commerce, such traditional merchants would inevitably soon become the new upstarts of Wei.
Qi State is not a monk halfway, he is Qi Country itself has a commercial tradition, but it was also suppressed before, but it was not suppressed much compared to other princes, and when it came to Qi Xiaobai, Qi Xiaobai opened it to them.
But at the same time, Qi Xiaobai has his own shareholding in these business families, that is, the shareholding system, which is something that the Wei clan does not understand.
The merchants have not yet infiltrated the court of Qi State, and Qi Xiaobai has infiltrated every business family.
If someone in the Wei family understood this shareholding system, they might have understood how to conduct business in the Wei state.
It's a pity that the Wei clan has no merchants, and there is no traveler like Qi Xiaobai, who has advanced concepts.
King Wei Hui looked at Hui Shi on the side and asked, "How long do we have to reach Yingqiu?" ”
"Your Majesty, we have seven days left to reach Yingqiu!" Hui Shi looked at King Wei Hui and said.
"The country of Qi is big enough, and it will take so long to reach the capital of the country of Qi!" King Wei Hui sighed.
"Since Qi Xiaobai succeeded to the throne, the State of Qi has begun to expand its territory unprecedentedly, destroying three kingdoms in a row, swallowing two countries and dividing one country, and even getting involved overseas, Goguryeo, and Dongyi Island Country!" Hui Shi looked at King Wei Hui and said.
King Wei Hui took a deep breath: "A small country in Dongyi back then, now it has become the overlord of the world!" ”
"The king's world is unpredictable, Qi and Qin, as well as Chu, weren't they all barbarian countries back then? Now the strongest princes are these three barbarian countries! Hui Shi looked at King Wei Hui and said.
Although the State of Chu has experienced such a fiasco and is no longer the style of the past, the State of Chu is large and rich in materials, as long as the nobles of the State of Chu unite, it is also a force that cannot be underestimated.
It was easy for the Qi State to destroy the Zhao State, but it was extremely difficult to destroy a defeated Chu State.
King Wei Hui nodded: "You are right, back then, my Wei State dominated the world, who would dare to believe that our Wei State has now come to the point of being bullied!" ”
"Even my eldest son died on the battlefield!" Thinking of King Wei Hui, there was a sadness in his heart, if his eldest son was still there, Wei Si would not be the crown prince, Wei Si might not think about making any meritorious achievements, and he would not come to this Qi Guoying Hill for a long time to be humiliated.
After Hui Shi heard King Wei Hui's words, he took a deep breath: "Prince Shen is unlucky! ”
"Back then, the minister should not recommend the prince Shen to go to the army for training, if he didn't go to the training, maybe he wouldn't let the king experience the pain of losing his son!" Hui Shi looked at King Wei Hui and said.
Back then, Hui Shi recommended Wei Shen to go to the army for training, accumulate military merits, and accumulate his own experience and ability by the way, so that he could be in the position of King Wei in the future, and he could also make people happy and surrender.
But the world is unpredictable, Wei Shen went to the army to train, and finally died tragically in a battle, so that King Wei Hui had the pain of losing his son.
King Wei Hui looked at Hui Shi and said, "It's not your fault! ”
"Wei Shen, he has indeed reached the time of training, if he is not allowed to go through the training, how will he inherit my position in the future, and how can he have the ability to inherit my position?"
"What's more, all the people in the court are subservient to him?"
"It's just that Wei Shen is unlucky, but I'm proud of Wei Shen, he didn't surrender, but died heroically on the battlefield!"
"This son of mine is not a bad breed!" King Wei Hui looked at Hui Shi and said, Hui Shi looked at King Wei Hui and said Wei Shen, and he saw that King Wei Hui's eyes were moist.
"Your Majesty, you are crying!" Hui Shi looked at King Wei Hui and said lightly.
"How can a widow weep? It's just that the wind and sand are in the eyes, trachoma! King Wei Hui looked at Hui Shi and said.
