Chapter 561: The Balance That Will Be Disrupted
Seeing that the two of them were a little sad, Ziluo on one side hurriedly came over to play the round. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info moved a few small dishes in front of Li Zhi: "Li Dashuai, you must have eaten these small dishes in normal times, but our practices here are a little different, you can taste them and give us advice!" ”
was interrupted by Ziluo, Li Zhi immediately calmed down from his sad emotions when he fell, he was very human, his will was extremely tenacious, and he never regretted it after doing it, not to mention, he didn't think he had done it wrong.
Lifting the chopsticks, pointing to the small plate in front of him, he said with a smile: "You said that I have eaten them all, but I don't recognize one at all now." Qin Feng, when I entered this garden, no matter where I ate, lived, or fed, I seemed to be a hillbilly entering the city! ”
Li Shuai laughed. Qin Feng said with a smile.
Li Zhi picked a chopstick from a small plate, put it in his mouth and chewed it carefully for a while, and shook his head: "Beauty is beautiful, but I can't eat the original taste at all." ”
Seeing Li Zhi put down his chopsticks, Qin Feng smiled and asked, "What?" Isn't it to taste? Still don't think it's tasty? ”
"No, it's delicious, but I don't want to eat it!" Li Zhi said: "From thrift to luxury, from luxury to thrift, if I eat well in your place, I will inevitably forget it, and with my status, as long as I have a hobby, there will be someone to welcome, just like I slept with you yesterday for a night, although I slept with back pain, but when I lay down, I still feel very comfortable!" ”
Ziluo on the side looked at Li Zhi with wide eyes, unable to understand the emotion of the old man in front of him at all.
"Comfort is a poison, although it will not be fatal immediately, but it will make a person gradually lazy, and we Daqin are absolutely lazy. I have always maintained such an ascetic life, just to remind me all the time, Daqin, we still need to keep working hard, only when everyone can be fed and clothed, people like me are qualified to rest. Unfortunately, I have worked hard for this all my life, but I still haven't achieved it. ”
Qin Feng looked at Li Zhi: "This is not your problem, but the problem of the whole country, just like you said before, if you don't come to a thorough reform, the day you imagine will never come, and the severe pain of reform is something you don't want to bear, Li Shuai, fish and bear's paw, can you have both?" ”
Li Zhi sighed: "I'm old, and I can't move anymore." And even I can't afford to take the consequences. Qin Feng, because there will be two consequences, one will get better and the other will get worse. ”
Qin Feng nodded silently, and commanded with Ziluo: "Ziluo, go back and change the hardboard bed in the handsome room, these dishes don't have to be put into so much thought, they are authentic." ”
"Yes, General!" Purple Radix owes her way.
"Qin Feng, the horses you want, I have already brought the first batch. Deng Su's heavy cavalry this time is one man and three horses, two of which are prepared for you, a total of two thousand. They are all the best wasteland horses in our Great Qin. Good load, long endurance, short sprints, although not as fast as Qi Chu's horses, but they are better than long strength, can fight for a long time. ”
"Great!" Qin Feng was overjoyed, "I have always wanted to form a cavalry, but I have no horses, the transactions between the Qi people and us involve many industries, but on the war horses, we are very tightly blocked, and the Yue country, and there is no horse source, this has always been a headache for me, with Qin Feng's wasteland horse, this problem can be solved." ”
"And what about what we asked for?" Li Zhi asked.
"Don't worry, Li Shuai, in front of you, do I dare to play any tricks? The first batch of grain raised by Cheng Weigao had already been prepared when he set off for Yuejing, and a caravan would be shipped out just after an order. As long as Great Qin can provide us with a steady stream of wasteland horses, then our grain will also be continuously transported into Qin, and I believe that this will play a great role in alleviating the food shortage in Qin. The decline in grain prices will be of great help to the growth of Qin's national strength. ”
"It's not just food!" Li Zhi shook his head and said.
"Of course, but when it comes to salt, iron and other things, then you have to send someone from Daqin to come and talk to our people in charge of commerce, Chu and Qi are forbidden to enter these things to Qin Guofu, but we can provide them, and the quality is good, but there are also a lot of problems involved here, our official in charge of commerce, Wang Yueyao, is about to enter Beijing, and when the time comes, they will talk about the details, let's just take the general direction, right?"
Li Zhi looked at Qin Feng deeply: "Qin Feng, I'm worried, I'm worried that you will take advantage of the opportunity of a sharp increase in business exchanges between the two sides to use your set to get close to our merchant gentry class in Great Qin." ”
Qin Feng smiled, "Li Shuai is too worried. As you said, the Qin State, a powerful businessman, is either from the royal family, or from the Deng family, or from the Bian family, do you think the three of them will allow me to pry their corners? Whether it is salt, iron or other controlled commodities, a businessman who can take over must have strong strength, and it is impossible for ordinary businessmen to cross this threshold, don't you say? ”
Li Zhi thought for a while and nodded: "Yes." ”
"However, we still want to deal with the Deng family, anyway, we have a good cooperation with Deng Pu and Deng Zhong, and whether it is the Bian family or the royal family, we are completely unfamiliar with it. If it is mainly based on the Deng family, then I think there will be a lot of trouble and a lot of links in the middle, and these things can also be transported to the Qin State faster, and the transaction between the two sides will be smoother. Li Shuai, the prosperity of business can bring benefits to both of us. ”
"It's up to Deng to do it, I don't have a problem. I can settle this matter. Li Zhi affirmed: "I hope this speed is as fast as possible." ”
"Of course." Qin Feng stood up with a smile: "Then I won't bother Li Shuai, you can rest well." Tonight, I will hold a welcome dinner in the palace, and I will invite Li Shuai to attend at that time. ”
"Okay, thank you General Qin for coming to see me, an old man, despite his busy schedule!" Li Zhi stood up and stretched out his hand towards Qin Feng: "No matter what will happen in the future, at least for now, I want to express my gratitude to you, because of your generosity, our people of Great Qin, life will be better." ”
"It's just a win-win." Qin Feng said: "I have always disliked zero-sum games, and I will never do such things as harming others and benefiting myself." In this deal, I got what I wanted. ”
Ziluo accompanied Qin Feng out of the courtyard where Li Zhi lived, looked at Qin Feng, and stopped talking.
"Ziluo, what do you want to say?"
"General, Li Shuai, this old man, I feel a little paranoid." Purple Radish.
"You can see it very accurately, he is indeed paranoid, but this paranoia is admirable, haha, you call him an old man, if he hears it, I don't know if he will be angry?"
"In my eyes, the only one who deserves respect is the general, whether he is angry or not, but it is none of my business." Ziluo smiled and said, "General, I think you have designated the Deng clan to trade with us, there is a lot to be done here!" ”
Li Shuai ignored it, or he didn't think of this aspect at all, or he didn't understand the huge benefits contained in these things. As you heard just now, the reason why Daqin is so stable is because of the three-legged standing, and what I'm doing now is to let one of them slowly swell. ”
"Deng family!"
"Yes, the Deng clan controls the border army of the Qin State, but the equipment of the border army of the Qin State is shabby, which I am very impressed." Thinking of those outlaws in the Luoying Mountains who were ragged and fought to take their lives, Qin Feng felt a little chill on his body. "The border army is ruthless, but the equipment is poor, it's not that the Qin State really can't even afford to equip an army, at least, they can provide better weapons, this is because of their domestic balance. The Deng clan is outside, powerful, but unable to control the court, the Bian clan controls the Thunder Army, controls the center, and the royal family acts as a balancer and referee. This must be based on the balance of power between the two sides, what if the Deng clan is strong enough to threaten the center? ”
"Let Deng take charge of these businesses, and they will be able to get huge profits, and these huge profits will inevitably become the equipment of the border army in the end." Violet eyes are shining.
"Once the balance is broken, the next thing can only be suspicion, conspiracy, and assassination." Qin Feng said lightly. "The government of the Qin State will inevitably be in chaos because of this. What's more, Deng Fang, the Deng family, is an ambitious guy in his own right. When they are freed from the shackles of financial resources, their ambitions will grow. ”
"Will Li Zhi figure this out?"
"He will understand later, but I think that when he does, this fast horse will be so wild that even he can't stop it, and that's the general trend."
"But the border army of the Qin State is strong, and it is not without a threat to us." Ziluo is worried about the authentic.
"They are strong because of our existence, and once there is a conflict between the two of us, do you think there will be a penny of these things to be shipped over? These are consumables, use a little less. Of course, it will take a long time to ferment, at least for four or five years, and we will both be in a honeymoon phase. ”
"The general is really strategizing, and he will win a victory thousands of miles away!" Ziluo looked at Qin Feng with admiration on her face.
"I thought you were going to say that I was extremely insidious, making love in person, but behind my back I was touching the guy and preparing to plot against someone." Qin Feng paused, "This is the contest between countries, it has nothing to do with personal feelings, personally, Li Zhi and Wei Zhuang, they are the people I admire the most." ”
"General, this is an upright conspiracy, and it's insidious there!" Ziluo said nonchalantly.
Qin Feng laughed, "From our standpoint, of course you would say that, by the way, how are you doing in heaven and earth?" When will it officially open? When the time comes, I'm going to be there in person and cut the ribbon! Make a big announcement for you. ”
"It's going to be soon, it's going to be a month at most, and everything will be ready!" Ziluo chuckled. (To be continued.) )
