The Great Wei Empire in the Warring States Period

When Wei Shen heard that the Duke of Qin was coming, he looked outside the door and saw the Duke of Qin entering the house with his men. Wei Shen stood up and saluted, saying, "This humble servant greets the Duke of Qin. I wonder what the Duke of Qin is here for?"

The Duke of Qin smiled and said, "This time I came to discuss the issue of tariffs with you."

Wei Shen pretended not to understand and asked, "Tariffs? Any questions?"

"Your country's customs duties have always been aimed at my Qin merchants. Merchants from other countries have very little customs duties when they pass through the customs. Why do my Qin merchants have to pay high taxes when they pass through!" The Duke of Qin said coldly.

Wei Shen thought for a while and said, "Then I will report to my king when I go back to lower the customs duties and send people to investigate the matter thoroughly!"

Ying Quliang felt a little confused after hearing this. How could he agree so easily? Is there any trick?

Ying Quliang said: "Since the envoy agreed to lower the tax, there is also the issue of trade with Wei."

"Trade issue?"

Ying Quliang laughed: "Yes, first, Qin has its own currency, and Wei merchants must use Qin's currency when doing business in Qin. Second, Qin has its own weights and measures, so please don't use Wei's weights and measures! How about equal exchange of currency? How about one coin of Qin is equivalent to one coin of Wei?"

Wei Shen laughed and said: "Duke Qin is good at planning! Wei uses cloth coins, and the weight of one cloth coin is equivalent to six coins of Qin, right? Qin wants to 1:1, isn't this taking advantage of Wei? I think the exchange of coins should be one cloth coin of Wei. The currency of Wei is equivalent to eight coins of Qin!"

Ying Quliang laughed and said, "Oh, the envoy said that the weight of Wei's currency is equivalent to six coins of Qin. Why do we have to exchange eight coins?"

"Just because the currency of Wei is widely used, Han, Zhao, and the small countries in the Central Plains all use the cloth coins produced by Wei. Since the merchants of Qin want to do business with all countries in the world, they don't use the currency of Wei. Do they use the currency of Qin?"

Ying Quliang thought for a while and said, "No, exchange by weight! And the currency exchange by weight is recognized by all countries in the world!"

Wei Shen laughed and said, "Okay, exchange by weight!"

Inside the Qin Palace

Ying Quliang sat on the couch, as if thinking about something?

Hei Fu on the side asked quietly: "Your Majesty, didn't the deal come to an agreement?"

Ying Quliang said: "It has been agreed, but I always feel that Wei is too easy to agree."

At this time, Ying Qian walked in and said: "Quliang, have those Wei dogs agreed?"

Ying Quliang replied: "Brother, the Wei envoys have agreed."

"Agreed? I just wanted to bring the soldiers to force them to agree, but I didn't expect that these Wei dogs agreed so quickly. Could it be a trick?" Ying Qian said.

Ying Quliang thought for a while and said: "It's unlikely. After all, the envoys of a country represent the trustworthiness of a country, and it can't be fake."

Ying Qian said again:"Quliang, when will the money be allocated?"

Ying Quliang got a headache when he heard the word money. Heifu said, "Why not call on the nobles across the country to donate?"

Ying Quliang was delighted when he heard Heifu's words: "Okay, let's do it according to Heibo's method. Brother, you are responsible for this matter!"

"Yes!"

………

In the inn

After Wei Shen finished talking to a man in black, Wei Shen told the man in black: "Remember, everything must follow my signal!"

"Yes!" After the man in black left, Gengying asked, "Your Highness, should we go back?"

Wei Shen thought for a moment and stood up and said, "Let's go back. Anyway, the matter has been settled."

………

The next morning, Ying Quliang said to all the ministers in the court of Qin: "Everyone, after several years of development, although my Qin is thriving, it is still a little behind the six states in Shandong, especially Wei. Wei has 400,000 iron troops. Qin has trained 100,000 new troops, but has no money to support the training of soldiers. I hope you can put aside your personal grudges. If Qin is destroyed, what can you get!"

Gan Long stood up and answered firmly: "Old Qin, let's go to the national crisis together!"

|= |

The ministers below also shouted: "Old Qin, let's face the national crisis together!"

After seeing the agreement of the members of the noble families, Ying Quliang said: "There is also the issue of Wei. Wei stabilizes Qin mainly to dominate the Central Plains. Everyone, when Wei sends troops, should Qin do something?"

Wei Yang stood up and said: "Your Majesty, I think Qin should not interfere in the Central Plains. Although Wei is strong, its monarch is a person who likes to show off. If Wei competes for the Central Plains, it will definitely cause interference from Chu, Qi, Zhao and other countries. After all, if Wei is allowed to annex Song, Wei and other countries in the Central Plains one by one, it will definitely threaten Chu and Zhao. If the two countries' Central Plains status is not taken care of, we will let Wei fight with other countries. No matter how strong Wei is, it will not be able to stop the attack of multiple countries. Then Qin can take the opportunity to recover the lost territory! "

Ying Quliang thought for a while and said, "What should Qin do during this period of time?"

Wei Yang said again, "Recuperate and accumulate strength, and then make a breakthrough!"

Ying Quliang nodded and said, "Okay, then Qin will not care about the Central Plains. Please donate more tomorrow!"

………

In the inner palace, Ying Ling was putting on makeup in the room. Queen Mother Qin walked in. The maid next to her was about to remind her, but Queen Mother Qin interrupted her with one hand.

Walking over and stroking Ying Ling's head, Ying Ling turned around and saw that it was Queen Mother Qin and quickly stood up and said, "Mother, why are you here?"

Queen Mother Qin looked at Ying Ling's face, and stroked Ying Ling's watery face with her dry hands, and said with a little sadness, "Ling'er, I didn't expect that you would be married so soon. In a few days, I will send you to Wei State. Your mother can't bear to let you go!"

Ying Ling smiled, wiped the tears from the corners of Queen Mother Qin's eyes and said, "Mother, it's okay. Although I'm going to Wei State as a concubine, as long as Qin State is okay, I don't think it's a big deal."

Queen Mother Qin shook her head and cried, "No, Ling'er, there is a big difference between a wife and a concubine. If you make him unhappy, you will die! If you were a concubine, you would have to do whatever he asked you to do, even if he wanted you to die! He would even exchange you like an object. As a mother, I have seen a lot of this."

Ying Ling comforted her, "Mother, it's okay!"

Queen Mother Qin wiped her tears and said to the maid beside her, "Go and get the red box on the table in my room!"

After a while, the maid brought a red box and the Queen Mother Qin handed it to Ying Ling and said, "Ling'er, this is a wedding dress made of silk awarded by the Zhou Emperor. This silk was obtained from the Zhou Emperor when your father defeated the Wei State in the Battle of Luoyin. There is only this one in the entire Qin State."

Ying Ling refused and said, "Mother, this is too precious..."

The Queen Mother Qin pretended to be unhappy and said, "What's wrong? Don't like it! Try it on and see."

As she spoke, she opened the box and a red wedding dress came into view.

………

The next morning

In the Qin treasury, many Qin nobles lined up outside the treasury to donate money. Hei Fu, who was in charge of the inner palace, was recording. At this time, Ying Qian came over and said, "Hei Bo, I will donate 500 gold!"

As he said that, he asked the attendant behind him to hand the box to Hei Fu. Hei Fu hurriedly said, "General, there are hundreds of people in your mansion. Donating 500 gold is too much. Donate 300 kilograms."

Ying Qian smiled and said, "Five hundred What about Jin? If the country is gone, then everything is gone."

Then, he handed his sword to Heifu and said, "This Seven-Star Dragon Abyss Sword forged by Ou Yezi is also donated!"

Heifu hurriedly stopped him and said, "General, this is your favorite sword. You regard this sword as important as your hand!"

Ying Qian was about to say something when he suddenly heard a voice, "The Queen Mother is here~~"

The Queen Mother Qin came over, and everyone bowed and said, "Greetings to the Queen Mother!"

Heifu He said to Queen Mother Qin: "Queen Mother, the general donated his Seven-Star Dragon Abyss Sword..."

Queen Mother Qin looked at Ying Qian and said with satisfaction: "My son is a real hero!"

Queen Mother Qin said again: "Qin is in trouble. Thanks to your help, I also want to donate something. Ling'er, take it out."

Princess Ying Ling of Qin, who was standing behind him, brought out an exquisite box. When the box was opened, everyone exclaimed: "It turned out to be the treasure of the Qin Palace! The red ruby ​​lotus!"

Hei Fu dissuaded: "Queen Mother, this is the treasure of the palace!"

Queen Mother Qin smiled and said nonchalantly: "What can the treasure of the palace do? What can a piece of stone do? It suppressed the invasion of Wei State, or suppressed the contempt of other countries for our Qin State. Donate it! The old Qin, let's go to the national crisis together!"

"The old Qin, let's go to the national crisis together!"

………

Wei State Court

Wei Hui Wang Wei said to Wei Shen: "Thanks to Shen'er's appearanceIf you can defeat Qin, then Wei will not have to worry about the future. Since we don't have to worry about the future, then it's time for Wei."

Wei Lang said again: "For this battle against Wei, I decided to split the troops into two groups and destroy Wei in one battle!"
