Chapter 531 Loyalty
"Sir Shangqing, why did you find me in such a hurry?"

In Xiangguo's mansion, after returning from Zhao Shuang's mansion, Guo Kai brought Han Cang over a few days later.

Although both Guo Kai and Han Cang were Zhao Wangqian's favorite ministers, their status is different at this time.When Han Cang saw Guo Kai, he was a little bit lower.

"A chance to make a fortune."

Han Cang smiled, but disagreed in his heart.

"Master Shangqing, tell me."

Guo Kai said the errand again, Han Cang frowned.

"Does he, Zhao Shuang, have no food in his hands? Why did he pay more than three times the price to borrow from us?"

"Now Zhao Shuang is ordered to take charge of Handan and maintain most of the area north of the river. He is different from us. He is afraid that he will make some political achievements. Next, he will claim credit from Xianyang. Borrowing from us can stabilize the situation as soon as possible. .”

Hearing what Guo Kai said, Han Cang still hesitated.

"But I'm still worried. If Qin and Yan go to war, then the food supply must be tight. If the price of food soars, Zhao Shuang will pay us back at the price of [-] yuan. Isn't it a big loss?"

Han Cang's worry was also Guo Kaixin's worry.But at this time, he had a backbone in his heart.

"Qin and Yan are going to talk about peace."

When Guo Kai said that, Han Cang's complexion changed instantly.

"Is this true?"

Guo Kai nodded.

"The news from Lord Yanchun of the Yan State that the King of Yan is planning to cede the land of Dukang to seek peace."

"But Qin's army is in full swing, will you agree?"

Han Cang said, as if something was scratching his heart.

"Many people are betting that the Qin army will take Yan State in one go, so they hold the grain in their hands and prepare to sell it at a high price. But if Qin State and Yan State negotiate peace, then the grain will be worthless!"

Guo Kai nodded.

"I heard from the people in Xianyang that the King of Qin deliberately did this in order to maintain the situation north of the river. The Qin army's next strategy is the kingdoms of Wei and Chu south of the river. The kingdom of Yan is in a corner, so it doesn't hinder the overall situation.

These years of natural disasters and military disasters, Zhao's foundation is too bad.Only by restoring food prices as soon as possible, stabilizing people's livelihood, and accumulating strength, can the Qin army destroy Wei and Chu in one go. "

There are two metropolitan circles north of Dahe, and now Qin has already taken one.And the other is in the hands of Yan Guo.However, compared with Handan, the economic scale of Jicheng in Yan State is much smaller.Compared with Zhao Jun, Yan Jun's strength is much weaker.

After hearing Guo Kai's words, Han Cang made up his mind.

"That said, you can borrow it!"

"Hurry up, this year's autumn grain harvest, then the grain price will drop a lot. When Qin and Yan formally negotiate peace talks next year, the grain price will continue to fall, and we won't have much profit."

Han Cang listened and nodded.

"Put all the money on food, and the profit of our business with Yan State will be much less. Since Qin and Yan want to negotiate peace, it is time to exchange all the food in hand. The business on Yanchun Lord's side , and it’s time to start.”

"You go to do this, first take out a batch of food. Zhao Shuang, I have some doubts after all, so try the water first, so as not to let him get into trouble."

"I understand!"

In the room, Xue Nu looked at the mirror and felt sorry for herself.

Xuenv has been staying at Lord Hanyang's mansion for several days. Although she is treated to delicious food and drink, Zhao Shuang can't even see her shadow.

It was the first time that Xue Nu had doubts about her beauty.But then, she shook her head again, thinking in a mess in her little head.

Maybe this Zhao Shuang has the advantage of Long Yang or something.Otherwise, given his status in Qin, why doesn't the mansion even have a beautiful concubine Ji, which is completely different from those high-ranking officials.

Otherwise, with his appearance, how could no woman fall in love with him?

Xue Nu spat in her heart when she thought of the scene of meeting Zhao Shuang that day.

What am I thinking, that villain, with such a good skin for nothing, must have some unknown hobbies.

Yes, it must be so!

Many high-ranking officials and dignitaries have the disgusting hobby of raising prostitutes.

This Zhao Shuang might be even worse than them.

Xue Nu looked at her alluring face in the mirror, thinking so.

"Miss Xuenv, your honor pleases you."

Are you finally going to invite me, or are you going to be unable to bear it in the end? Sure enough, he is no different from those dignitaries.

All the emotions in my heart finally turned into a cold and calm voice.

"Understood, I'll go right away."

Snow Girl smiled, took the comb, and began to dress up.

However, when she came to the room, Zhao Shuang was not waiting for her alone, but a whole room of people.

"Your Majesty, from the east of Handan to the Baiqu area, our army quickly settled the order. The newly granted land is 20 mu. The subordinates went to inspect it. The seedlings are not bad."

"Your Majesty, in the dozen or so villages around Fanwu City, the arable land this year is less than half of what it was last year. I'm afraid we will have to open warehouses for relief, and we will not be able to get better in the coming year."

……

He seemed very busy and his face was not very good.

Xuenv looked at Zhao Shuang at this time, and for some reason, she always felt that his figure at this time was much thinner than when she saw him a few days ago.

At this time, Zhao Shuang was completely different from the treacherous and evil image in Xuenv's impression.

The crumbling figure seemed to be crushed by the heavy government affairs and the arduous livelihood of the people.

For a moment, the malice that Xue Nu had accumulated in her heart was diluted a lot.

"Natural disasters have occurred in the Zhao Kingdom for many years, and we have encountered a king like Zhao Wangqian again. The accumulation of the Zhao kings of the past dynasties is not much left now."

Having said that, Zhao Shuang's body shook.

"Your Majesty, are you alright!"

Zhao Shuang waved his hand, raised his head to the sky at 45 degrees and let out a long sigh.

"It's a pity that the people of Zhao State have suffered! The most important thing now is to appease the refugees and let them return to the fields."

At this moment, Xue Nu's eyes were full of Zhao Shuang's tall image.And her heart seemed to be filled with something at a certain moment.

"Your Majesty!"

Xue Nu didn't know it, and when everyone in the room looked at her, she felt a little rude.

"It's Miss Xuenv, you guys should retreat first!"

Zhao Shuang waved his hand, and the crowd retreated.Afterwards, Zhao Shuang beckoned, and the little girl rushed over without any intention of refusing.

"Miss Xue Nu, I know that you are afraid of the power of the treacherous minister Guo Kai, so you made a compromise and came to my house. Now, you can go."

"Mr. Hanyang knew that he was a traitor, why did he keep him?"

"Some things are not as simple as you imagine. Although Guo Kai is a traitor, he has many followers and has a close personal relationship with Lord Yanchun of the Yan Kingdom. These people exploit the people and do all kinds of evil. Even I have to be afraid Three points!"

Zhao Shuang sighed leisurely, his words were full of helplessness.

"Stop talking about this, you'd better get out of here as soon as possible!"

Listening to Zhao Shuang's words, Xue Nu bowed silently, her murderous intentions disappeared, and she completely forgot the purpose of her initial visit.

When she was leaving, Xue Nu turned her head in three steps, and what she saw was the helpless figure of a loyal minister who dedicated her life to the country.

However, after Xuenv completely disappeared, Luna came out.

"Okay, Zhao Dabao, you are getting better and better at deceiving little girls now."

Looking at Luna, Zhao Shuang felt a headache.Although he didn't have the feeling of weakness he pretended just now, it was true that his complexion was bad.

"Why did you become weird when I saw you this time, where is Concubine Yan? There has been no movement in the Yinyang family for the past few years, what is Concubine Yan doing?"

Luna pouted.

"You can ask her about her."

"Stop making trouble?"

Zhao Shuang asked tentatively, and the tall figure of the Moon God trembled.

"I'm leaving here for Yandi tomorrow."

Zhao Shuang was overjoyed, but Luna turned around and pulled his sleeve.

"Leave immediately, you can't stop."

"Don't talk nonsense, come with me."
