982. Reach an agreement
Zhao Cheng came to Zou Ji's residence.
He was blocked by Sun Ba, Zhao Cheng looked at Sun Ba with a smirk and said: "This general, I am the Xiangguo of Zhao State, 'Zhao Cheng', please help me inform the envoy!" ”
Sun Ba looked at Zhao Cheng, Zhao Cheng took some silver taels and handed them to Sun Ba: "Little general, and all the soldiers, it must be very hard in my Zhao country, these silver taels are I invite you to have a cup of tea, it is not a respect, please bear with me!" ”
Sun Ba took the silver taels from Zhao Cheng's hand, then looked at Zhao Cheng and said, "I'll go and report, you wait outside!" ”
After a while, Sun Ba sent Zhao Cheng to Zou Ji, Zou Ji held the tea, looked at Zhao Cheng and said lightly: "Zhao Xiangguo, you Zhao people seem to hate me to the core!" ”
"Today, nearly a thousand people have come to hijack the Dharma field set up by my Qi country!" Zou Ji looked at Zhao Cheng and said lightly.
"Mr. Zou, I came here tonight to apologize for this matter!" Zhao Cheng waved his hand, and saw several of Zhao Cheng's servants walking in carrying boxes.
After opening the box, it was full of silver taels and some jewels, jade or something, and the total value was a million taels of silver.
"Sir, my Zhao State treasury is empty, and I don't have too much money to compensate Mr. for people, this is a little bit of caution on my part of Zhao Cheng, I hope Mr. can turn a big thing into a small one, and when it is small, it will pass!" Zhao Cheng looked at Zou Ji and said.
Zou Ji took a deep breath: "Could it be that the treasury of this Zhao State is not as rich as the warehouse of Lord Xiangguo?" ”
Zhao Cheng smiled awkwardly, the treasury is now the warehouse of the entire country of Zhao State, and it must be richer than him Zhao Cheng, but he Zhao Cheng can't take it out, if he takes it out, how will Zhao State be built in the future?
Zhao State's grain and grass was originally scarce, the war lasted for so long, the stored granaries were taken away by Qi State, this war is over, people have to eat, if the capital of the treasury is compensated to Qi State, this Zhao State will inevitably starve to death many people this year.
At that time, the clan of Zhao State will be suspected by people, and at that time, there will be a civil uprising at any time, and the treasury of Zhao State is empty, and a civil rebellion is launched, which needs to be suppressed by the army, and if there is no money, how can it be suppressed?
Zhao Cheng exerted a lot of strength, and negotiated with Zou Ji not to compensate, but the people below had nothing to do, assassinated, and hijacked the law field, and these things made his head instantly bigger.
But since it happened, it had to be resolved, so he opened his own warehouse, but opening his own warehouse was not to compensate Qi Guo.
Because Qi Guo must ask for a lot of compensation, which he is unable to support, he is unable to support Qi Guo's compensation, but he can give Zou Ji money and convince this envoy, then everything can be easily solved.
This is what Zhao Cheng thinks, and it is also the most effective method that Zhao Cheng thinks.
So he came to see Zou Ji with a heavy courtesy, hoping that Zou Ji could downplay this matter and not rise to the issue of Qi and Zhao.
Zou Ji looked at Zhao Cheng and said lightly: "Lord Xiangguo, it's really painstaking!" ”
"But the knights in the rivers and lakes don't understand the painstaking efforts of adults!"
"And I also want to give a clear advice to the adults, the chivalrous organization, the chivalrous will endanger the foundation of the Zhao Kingdom, and the Lord Xiangguo can't help but be careful!"
"Of course, this is what I told the adults as a friend, not an order, how to do it, I think Zhao Xiang will have his own plans in his heart, I hope Zhao Xiang will think about it!" Zou Ji looked at Zhao Cheng and said.
Zhao Cheng nodded: "What Mr. said, I don't know that the chivalrous organization has become more and more disobedient to discipline over the years!" ”
"Now many chivalrous organizations are either horse thieves or cottage owners, blocking roads and robbing, these, I Zhao Guo must manage!" Zhao Cheng looked at Zou Ji and said.
"It's just that Zhao Guo has a lot of things, and he can't manage these people!" Zhao Cheng looked at Zou Ji and said.
"Zhao Xiang, I know that Zhao is in this environment, and it is also facing the hegemony of the princes, but if Zhao Xiang wants to participate in the hegemony of the princes, he must ensure internal stability!"
"If the outside is unstable, how can Zhao Guo rest assured to participate in this battle for hegemony?" Zou Ji looked at Zhao Cheng and said.
"What the gentleman said is very true!" Zhao Cheng looked at Zou Ji and said.
"I see that I have a friend relationship with Zhao Xiang, so I will follow Zhao Xiang's meaning, this problem has dropped from the issue of Qi and Zhao to the issue of my Zou Ji, and my Qi State is not asking for any compensation to Zhao State, as long as Zhao State makes Dai Di independent, but this blood horse gate, our Qi State needs to deal with it!" Zou Ji looked at Zhao Cheng and said.
"These people, we will decide one by one at the entrance of the vegetable market tomorrow, Zhao Xiang shouldn't mind, right?" Zou Ji looked at Zhao Cheng and said.
Zhao Cheng nodded: "These people are all thieves, assassinating Mr. and hijacking the law field, and they should be executed in my Zhao State Decree!" ”
"If Mr. doesn't execute them, I, Zhao Cheng, will execute them too!" Zhao Cheng looked at Zou Ji and said.
Zou Ji nodded, he asked for these members of the Blood Horse Sect in order to execute them in the capital of Zhao State, so as to deter the Zhao people, and at the same time let the Zhao people see the incompetence of the Zhao State Clan.
These people are thieves in the eyes of Qi State, but in the eyes of some Zhao people, they are heroes, and they are heroes who dare to resist the invaders.
And Qi Guo killed them like this, which will inevitably arouse some public anger, these people dare not do anything to Qi Guo, but dare to be angry with Zhao State.
And Zou Ji believed that Zhao Cheng would inevitably sweep up these chivalrous organizations, and then the contradiction would inevitably break out, and this contradiction had reached the point of being out of control, that is, the civil war.
However, in this civil war, Zou Ji is optimistic about the Zhao State Clan, because the Zhao State Clan is famous for its iron blood, although there is no money, but he can borrow money, and those chivalrous organizations, if there is no money, who will lend them?
The princes will only fund the Zhao State, but will not fund these chivalrous organizations, because these chivalrous organizations are not from aristocratic origins, and the princes think that only nobles can take responsibility, if this precedent is set, then will those people below them have the heart of rebellion?
Judging from this general environment, the princes will not sit idly by and watch these Zhao people overthrow the rule of the Zhao clan.
Zou Ji looked at Zhao Cheng and said, "Since Zhao Xiang is meaningless, then I, Zou, thank you!" ”
"After tomorrow, we will sign an agreement in Handan, Zhao Palace!" Zou Ji looked at Zhao Cheng and said.
After Zhao Cheng heard Zou Ji's words, he immediately showed a smile, he knew that his efforts were not in vain, the war was going to end, and the Qi State was about to withdraw its troops.
"Please also inform the Qin State and sign this agreement as well!" Zou Ji looked at Zhao Cheng and said.
Zhao and Qin are currently allies, and both are involved in this war, while Zhao is the main initiator, Qin is an ally, and now that Zhao has signed an agreement, Qin has no reason to fight again.
