A Millennium Aristocratic Family Starting from the Shang Dynasty

Chapter 30
Wang Lin ascended the throne and offered sacrifices to the ancestral temple.

Zijue's figure appeared in the air.

"Although Bang Zhou's destiny is declining, it has no intention of severing it. You can't force it against the sky, you can only push the boat along with the current, otherwise, the destiny will backfire, and the gain will outweigh the loss."

Zijue's voice rang in Wang Lin's ears, and Wang Lin's eyes flashed with surprise, and he paid homage: "Greetings to the ancestor of King Wen."

"Linding will definitely act carefully and prosper the Huai country."

After talking to Wang Lin for a few words, Zijue left. His heir is really talented and has enough ability to deal with it.

Wang Lin's attribute, whether it is internal affairs or political strategy, is a top-level existence. As a monarch, it is almost the top-level existence.

After inheriting the position of Duke Huai, Wang Lin began to check the intelligence of Bangzhou and Shandong countries over the years.The relationship between Qi State and Ji State is already at the same level, and in Qi State these years, only two Qihous have served as important ministers of Wang Ji, while on the other hand, every Jihou has held important positions in Wang Ji.

With Wang Ji's support, although Ji State is weak, Qi State can do nothing.Even together with the State of Lu, restrict the development of the State of Qi.

After these years of development, Qihou and Jihou are in the same situation.Qi State has strong soldiers and strong horses, and can gain the upper hand in repeated conflicts. Ji State hates him deeply.Later, in order to balance the power of the princes, the emperor supported Ji to check and balance Qi.

But Jihou, relying on the support of the emperor, and Lu as an ally, naturally returned the grievances he had suffered all these years, and the powerful Qihou was so insulted by Jihou, he was naturally furious, but the emperor's power is not as good as before , but still has a strong influence, so Qi has often been at a disadvantage in recent years, and Qi Hou has endured to the extreme.

Qi State, Yingqiu.

Palace Hall.

"boom!"

"Zhuzi is too deceitful, I will kill him alone!" There was a clanging and messy voice, and the table case in the main hall was overturned, and the wine cups and incense burners on it rolled to the ground one after another.

"Your Majesty, calm down, Your Majesty, calm down!" The surrounding ministers and eunuchs hurriedly knelt down to dissuade them.

"Ji Dun deceived others too much! In the fifth year of the king, he was reprimanded by the emperor for his slanderous and solitary remarks."

"In seven years, it was said that it was not good for Qi State to conquer Huaiyi, and it lost troops and lost generals, depriving Qi State of the right to conquer under the orders of the king."

"How dare we double the tribute from the Qi Kingdom today! If you don't teach him some lessons, the princes of the world will definitely laugh at Gu!"

"Order the army to prepare, this time we must teach Ji Guo a lesson!"

"Your Majesty, the Son of Heaven was deceived by him and reprimanded us. If he launches a military attack against him, he will be afraid of the Son of Heaven." A minister hurriedly dissuaded him.

"Your Majesty, the Kingdom of Lu and the Kingdom of Ji are on good terms. If we attack the Kingdom of Ji, the Kingdom of Lu will definitely send troops. When Qi Kingdom is attacked by the enemy, how can we stop it?"

In the hall, the important ministers persuaded one after another, and after venting a lot, Duke Qi also calmed down, just as the ministers said, if they do it directly, it is very likely that they will be defeated by Ji and Lu, but if Ji Guo is allowed to admit defeat, he And unwilling.

I didn't think of any way for a while.

After Wang Lin saw the collected information about Qi, Lu, Ji, and Wang Ji, he found that the conflicts among the three countries were deepening. After several generations of development, Qi had wiped out the surrounding barbarians and annexed the land, and wanted to continue. To develop, Ji Guo needs to be resolved.

Even if the friendship between the two parties is good, Qi State will eventually annex Ji State to develop and grow, not to mention that the relationship between the two parties is so bad?

Seeing signs of soldiers and horses being mobilized in the Qi Kingdom, Wang Lin suddenly had some thoughts in his mind.

Huai State is located in the southeast, and has the benefits of fishing and salt. Since King Wen promoted cattle farming and developed agriculture, there was sufficient food. Huai State began to form caravans to sell to other countries, and at the same time purchase various commodities that Huai State needed.

Although Huaisi is rich in products, it lacks copper mines.Zijue used a lot of blank prop cards in exchange for forging weapons and farming tools.In addition to his strategy of going south, he wanted to destroy Wu to prevent surprise attacks. Another reason was the copper mine.

In order to obtain copper and other resources that Huai State lacked, Zijue established a large number of caravans. These caravans went to Xu, Wu, Qi, Lu, Ju, Ji, Jin, Chu and other countries. This opportunity formed a huge intelligence network, the Fengwen Taiwan.

After Wang Lin decided to intervene in the conflict between Qi, Lu, Ji, and Wang Ji, the Fengwen Taiwan immediately started to operate.

In Ji Kingdom, Shang Rong led the caravan slowly into the capital of Ji Kingdom. This time, the caravan brought a large amount of food, salt, fine wine, and prepared to exchange bronze and other materials with Ji Kingdom.

For this kind of bulk goods transaction, only a few big nobles have enough goods to trade, and in many cases, they even trade with the monarchs of various countries and enter and exit the courts of nobles and ministers.

Shang Rong has come to Ji Kingdom dozens of times, Ji Hou likes luxury wine, and Shang Rong will give some gifts every time he comes, so he is favored by Ji Hou.

A large amount of wine was delivered, which made Ji Hou very happy, and immediately prepared a banquet in the evening, and Shang Rong was able to attend.

The bells were ringing, the food was being eaten, the singing and dancing of the singing and swallows were dancing, and the hall was very lively.There are not many entertainment activities in this era, and the scope of activities is also limited. I like to listen to these wandering people talk about the scenery of various places. To put it bluntly, it is bragging.

After Shang Rong told two jokes, Ji Hou and the nobles in the hall laughed, and then said with a smile: "Speaking of which, Rong Cong discovered an interesting thing when he was selling wine in Qi."

"What stupid thing did Qi Guo do?" Ji Hou asked with a smile.The relationship between Qi and Ji is not good, so they often make fun of each other. Hearing Shang Rong talk about the affairs of Qi, Ji Hou suddenly became interested.

"Ji Gong knows that the foreign ministers are selling goods. The autumn harvest is coming every day, and the Qi State has a great harvest. The foreign ministers want to buy some grain from the Qi State and go to the Song State. After asking the price, the price of the grain has not been reduced, but has increased. How can the grain be sold at such a high price?"

"Haha, these Qi people are really stupid. The price is high in a good year, and they also collect grain at a high price. It's really stupid."

"Your Majesty, you are drunk!" A minister next to him tugged at the hem of his clothes, Ji Hou seemed to be overwhelmed with alcohol, and beckoned several court ladies to help him to the apse.

After a while, the minister also walked in.

"What's going on?" Ji Hou sat upright, his eyes clear, and he didn't look like he was too drunk just now.

"In the prosperous year of the Qi State, the price of food has risen. This is not unusual." The minister said.

"There is indeed something wrong." Ji Hou nodded.

"Then why does Qi need so much food and grass?"

"Conquer and fight!" Ji Hou reacted instantly: "Qi Hou is preparing to mobilize troops!"

"Your Majesty is wise, our Ji State and Qi State are at odds, Qi State has tried to attack me many times, Lai Lu Gong and the Son of Heaven helped us to preserve it, isn't it because we are accumulating food and grass to deal with our Ji State?" said the minister.

"No, prepare the car immediately and report it to the Son of Heaven and Lord Lu!"
