After talking about Mansour, Zhao Ziliang asked again: "What do you think about the fact that the Great Food Country wants to borrow money from us?" ”

After a period of time in the matter of borrowing, many ministers already had their own ideas, and when Zhao Ziliang asked, someone immediately stood up.

Deputy Prime Minister Liu Shan stood up and said: "King, with the combat strength of our army, there is no need to worry about the big food country daring not to repay the money, if there is a cent of annual interest, this is also a good deal, but what the minister is worried about is that if we lend the money, we can't find someone to repay the money in the end, then the money lent out will not be wasted?" ”

Zhao Ziliang touched his chin, raised his hand and said, "Make it clear!" ”

"Yes!" Liu Shan arched his hand, "Great King, colleagues, Mahdi is not the only person who speaks in the Great Food Country now, if we lend him money, if he is defeated in the next few years and killed by his brother, and the Great Food Country is ruled by someone else, who do we ask for money?" ”

That's right! Many ministers immediately came to their senses, and someone stood up on the spot and chimed in: "Yes, my lord, this transaction is too risky, we can't do it!" ”

"Yes, this Bu Nord is here to cheat money, we must not fall for him!"

"Please order the king to immediately order that all Bu Nord and his party be arrested and sent to prison!"

"It's definitely a huge scam!"

"Bastard, these big cannibals are really daring, they dare to deceive my Xi Qin, and arrest them immediately!"

Some of the courtiers were immediately indignant, and the entire court was like cold water poured into a pot of boiling oil.

Zhao Ziliang knocked on the imperial case, and the eunuch next to him immediately used a piercing voice: "Quiet, quiet, what are the imperial envoys in the palace doing?" ”

When the ministers heard this voice, they immediately closed their mouths, and the hall that was noisy just now instantly became silent.

Zhao Ziliang pointed at Dugu Jun: "Dugu Jun, talk about it!" ”

Dugu Jun stood up and arched his hand: "King, it is not impossible for Lord Liu to worry, Weichen thinks that he can discuss with the big cannibal and change the loan to sell!" ”

This statement made Zhao Ziliang and all the ministers confused, and Zhao Ziliang asked: "How can you change the loan to sell?" ”

Dugu Jun said: "We are afraid that Mahdi will be killed by his brother in the future and will not be able to repay the loan, so there is a great risk in borrowing, but now there are at least a few things that can be sold under his rule, such as land and ore!" Although we don't have ore, but there are quantities of ore, dig a little less, if we can buy it from other places, and keep our underground ore first, wouldn't it be beautiful? If we can buy a large tract of land from the Great Food Country with money, why should we go to the requisition? ”

Someone immediately came to his senses, "Yes, if it can be solved with money, why use the army?" As long as we have enough money, we can buy the whole big food country! ”

An official stood up and yelled: "Fart! Are you a pig? You don't have a brain yourself, do you think someone else doesn't have a brain either? What will you do if you give money but he doesn't give it? You're not going to grab it? Money can indeed solve many things, but money can't be everything, strength, strength, strength! Strength is the key to everything! Let them sell a piece of land, they may be acceptable, let him sell the whole land, he is not worried that he has his life to take the money and not to spend it? ”

"You?????? How do you curse? The scolded man was furious.

"Enough!" Zhao Ziliang patted the table and said, "Let them sell land and ores can be considered, so let's do it, Hong Xu, you take the time to go to the embassy and probe Bu Nord's tone!" ”

Hong Xu stood up and hugged his fists and agreed: "The minister obeys the order!" ”

At this time, the political prime minister Dugu stood up and said to Zhao Ziliang: "The king, the minister thinks that whether it is borrowed or sold, it not only has economic benefits for us in Xiqin, but also political interests. If we just let the Great Food Country sell their land or ore, we will get more economic benefits and less political benefits, but if we lend money to them, then we in Xiqin will be the creditors of the Great Food Country, and we will get relatively less economic benefits, but we will get much more political benefits, because we can use this as an excuse to meddle in the internal affairs of the Great Food Country at any time! ”

"Great King, since we signed an armistice treaty with the Great Food Country, we can no longer exert influence on the Great Food Country, but if we lend money to the Great Food Country now, then we can use this as a breakthrough to carry out some operations to achieve the goal of controlling the Great Food Country, we can find agents in the Big Food Country, and let our forces infiltrate and intervene in the Great Food Country by borrowing money, in order to ensure the safety of the money we lend, let the Big Food Country use mines or land as collateral. In addition, we can also indirectly or directly control some tribal chiefs, ministers or military generals in the Great Food Country, if Mahdi listens to us, we will support him to deal with his brothers, if he is disobedient, then we will let him step down, replace the obedient people up, as long as the means are clever and the control is strong enough, we can even instruct the Great Food Country to attack the Eastern Roman Empire, so that it is equivalent to one more thug, isn't it wonderful? ”

"Interesting!" Zhao Ziliang was a little impressed by Dugu's questioning when he heard this, this old man was able to come up with this advanced method, his political talent is indeed extraordinary, and he has grown a lot over the years.

In recent years, Zhao Ziliang no longer intervened in the details of various military and political affairs in the Western Qin, he only grasped the general direction, and sometimes often consulted the ministers on the overall strategy and gave full play to their independent initiative, so as to temper their abilities.

The effect is remarkable, in the past few years, these ministers have increased their enthusiasm for the administration of the government, their thinking has been broadened, and their abilities have been tempered and improved accordingly, which makes Zhao Ziliang very happy.

Zhao Ziliang touched his chin, thought about it for a while, and said to Dugu: "Your suggestion seems to be good, so let's do it, after you disperse the dynasty, you go back and write a specific note to show it, and send it to this king after writing; In addition, Hong Xu, don't contact Bu Nuode for the time being, and assist Dugu to make the plan just said, if this king thinks it is feasible after reading it, the two of you will be responsible for handling this matter, Dugu is the main clerk, and Hong Xu is the deputy! ”

The two of them bowed and said, "Yes, my lord!" ”

In the next few days, Bu Nuod was not idle, he changed his previous state of staying in the embassy pavilion and began to have frequent contact with the officials and ministers of Xinjing, visiting several courtiers and ministers every day, lobbying them to suggest that the Western Qin royal court lend money to the Great Food Kingdom,

Bu Nuode's visit to the ministers and officials of the Western Qin royal court came to the door openly, and the conversation was not hidden, everything was normal, and the relevant yamen did not stop and warn him after learning about it, as long as he was not engaged in espionage activities, these yamen did not bother to pay attention to him.

Five days later, Dugu Wenshu and Hong Xu came to the palace Qinzheng Hall with the written note to meet Zhao Ziliang and handed the note to him.

After reading the Chen, Zhao Ziliang found that some of the key points in the Chen were vague and brushed aside, and asked: "Why are the key positions of this Chen not clear?" ”

The two glanced at each other, and Dugu asked the vulgar and said: "The king, this matter is very important, and the ministers have to be careful, so they did not make a detailed explanation in the key position, if the king wants to know, the ministers can solve the king's doubts!" ”

"Okay, the first question, what are the aspects and how to proceed with the infiltration of our forces into the Great Food Country?"

Dugu replied: "Isn't the Great Food Country going to borrow money?" We can lend to them, but they must use the mines or taxes as collateral, so we can ask for a small number of garrisons or officials to enter on the grounds of protecting the security of the collateral, and if they use the mines as collateral, we will ask for the army to be sent over to protect them, and if they are collateralized by the taxes, we will send officials to take over the taxes, and the ministers will not be stupid enough to mortgage the taxes to us, because then the taxes will go through our hands first, and the part that will be repaid to us every year will be deducted. The rest of the talents can be returned to them, which is a big constraint on the big food country, Mahdi will definitely not do it, so they can only mortgage the mines and land, we ask to send a small number of troops to protect it, protection is only in name, and these troops will escort us for the next thing! ”

"For the loan, we can lend it to them without interest, but they must agree to a few conditions??????

Dugu asked the vulgar and spoke in detail for a few minutes, concisely and concisely, but it can make people fully understand.

Zhao Ziliang nodded after hearing this, and asked again: "What you just said can only be carried out within the control of Mahdi, and our power cannot be extended to the territory controlled by several other brothers of Mahdi, how to solve this problem?" ”

Dugu asked: "King, if we want to control Mahdi's other brothers, it will inevitably cost several times more financial and human resources, the minister thinks that this is more than worth the loss, and their forces are relatively far away, we are still out of reach for the time being, and the other brothers in Mahdi are much worse than him, we Xiqin can support them, but no matter how much we support, they can't support Adou, Mahdi is at least stronger than them, as long as we control Mahdi, Controlling all of the Great Food Country is just around the corner! ”

Zhao Ziliang read the chapter again, closed the chapter and said to the two: "Okay, this king agrees, just handle it as such, and the two of you are responsible, Dugu Wenshu usually spends more time on government affairs, so this matter is specifically implemented by Hong Xu, and Dugu Wenshu will check it, and negotiate with Bu Nuod on a certain day!" ”

The two agreed: "Obey"
