Daqin: Assist Zulong at the beginning and become a public enemy

Chapter 373

Chapter 373

When the processing was completed, it was already noon.

Ying just stretched, looked at the sky outside the door, and planned to get up and go to the backyard for dinner.

At this moment, a guard entered the door and reported: "Young Master, General Han Xin has sent someone to report that Chen Yu, the envoy of the State of Wei, has arrived outside the city."

Ying Gang's footsteps paused, and a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.

It is said that there is no harmony between Chen Yu and Wei Bao, but now it seems that everything is just spreading rumors.

If the two were really at odds, Chen Yu would not come instead of Wei Bao at this moment.

"I know." Ying Gang nodded lightly and waved away the guard.After that, he still started and walked towards the backyard.

It is different from Zhang Liang.

Chen Yuna is the core of Wei State, Wei Bao's confidant, and one of Qin State's greatest enemies.

I have no interest in winning him, and it is impossible to go out to greet him.

After all, he is the uncle now.

After Ying just entered the backyard, he spent a quarter of an hour eating.Then fell asleep again.

Chen Yu arrived at the City Lord's Mansion at this time.

After tidying up a bit, Ying just received Chen Yu in the study.

This Jiangdong's future important minister looked at ease.Didn't see any difference at all.

Liu Feng took a look and couldn't help but admire him.Jiangdong was flooded like that, but Chen Yu could still be so calm.

However, Chen Yu's calmness was also expected by Ying Gang.

If you look downcast as soon as you meet, I'm afraid there is no need to talk about this negotiation.

"I've met you, young master." Chen Yu took a few steps forward to meet him after looking at him for only a moment.

"Without courtesy, sit down." Ying Gang did not deliberately neglect Chen Yu and invited Chen Yu to take a seat.

"Mr. Xie, sit down." Chen Yu nodded, and sat in the position Ying just pointed out.

"Your Excellency can be regarded as an old acquaintance of my country of Qin. I wonder why you came to Xingyang this time?"

"I'm ashamed to say that the torrential rain a few days ago caused the river to swell and flow into the Zhi River, almost the entire Wei country was submerged. Although my king tried his best to allocate food for disaster relief, there were still some gaps. I came here on the order of the king of Wei. Xingyang, buy food from your son." Chen Yu said frankly.

It’s okay not to confess, this matter cannot be hidden.Chen Yu did not believe that Ying Gang had no spies in Wei.

It's just that Chen Yu still said some panic. For example, Wei Guo tried his best to allocate food for disaster relief, but there were still some gaps. These words were too watery.

More than just some gaps, it is obviously a big hole.

These lies are just Chen Yu's death struggle.Ying Gang didn't know how much food Wei still had, but he could probably guess that it would never exceed 30 shi.

But Ying Gang didn't break it either.He just nodded and said: "I also understand the situation in Wei State. Millions of people were affected by the disaster. It is really pitiful."

As he spoke, Ying Gang changed the subject and said, "It's just that my Qin country was also severely affected by the disaster. There is not much food to support the people of your country."

When Ying first spoke, there was no sympathy on his face.

Ying Gang is not the kind of hypocritical person. He saved the people under his account, but to a certain extent, he also contributed to the disaster in Wei State.

If you sympathize with Wei Guo in turn, you will be a hypocrite.

With that look and tone, Chen Yu could tell it was a scene.But Chen Yu still heard some overtones from it.

There is not much food to support the people of Wei.In other words, there is still food.

"Don't worry, my lord, if the state of Qin can fully support the state of Wei, we, the state of Wei, are willing to pay a certain price." Chen Yu said.

coming.Ying Gang secretly thought in his heart, but smiled on his face and said: "Mr. Chen Yu, what do you plan to exchange for food? Could it be a city?"

A city is of course impossible.

Chen Yu smiled and said, "My lord, you are just joking! King Wei intends to use 30 jin of iron to buy food and go back to help the disaster."

"iron?"

To be honest, Qin is not short of iron.

Although the update of equipment consumes a lot of iron, as Ying Gang who knows the layout of iron mines in the future, these iron ores are not difficult to find at all.

"I don't know how much grain Mr. Chen Yu wants to exchange for the 30 jin of iron." Although he had already refused on the surface, Ying Gang asked calmly.

"30 shi of grain." Chen Yu said the price deep in his heart calmly.

The 30 jin of iron was prepared by the State of Wei to upgrade its equipment.It's just that the flood in Wei country is serious now, and there is no money, so Wei Bao had to reluctantly take out these irons.

The production of iron ore takes time. Now Wei Guo can only take out 30 jin. First, he will exchange for 30 shi to go back for a while.

There is a gap of two or three million stones, and some have lost money.

Chen Yu felt really distressed.As for the price of 30 shi, Lu Su came to the conclusion after repeated thinking in his mind.

Originally, the price of food was much lower than the price of iron ore.

But after the flood, the price of grain in the Central Plains rose wildly, which allowed the price of iron ore to match the price of grain.

"One hundred thousand stones of grain, and this is the only time. Next time, I don't want iron ore." Ying Gang was quite dissatisfied with the price, shook his head, stretched out two fingers, and said seriously.

Even if Chen Yu knew that Ying Gang was an out-and-out profiteer, he would definitely open his mouth this time, but he never expected that Ying Gang would be so ruthless.

Chen Yu's face was also a little ugly, he suppressed the anger in his heart, raised his fist and said: "The price of grain on the market outside is almost equal to that of iron, now we are willing to pay 30 catties of iron to buy back 30 grains, which shows our sincerity Yes, please think twice, sir."

"I've thought twice." Ying Gang said with a disapproving smile.

"Everyone should speak openly. I know that the food in your Wei State's granary is less than 30 shi, and the number of people affected by the disaster may exceed one million. The shortfall is 300 million shi of food. Even if you save some food, you can give alms every day. Rice porridge also needs at least 150 million shi." As he spoke, Ying Gang raised his head and glanced at Chen Yu.

Chen Yu was expressionless, because what Ying just said was the truth, and there was really nothing to quibble about.

"My state of Qin has a lot of food, but I don't just donate it casually, especially to the enemies of my state of Qin. It is best if you can accept this price. If you can't accept it, there is nothing I can do."

Ying Gang stood up slowly, turning his back and ignoring Chen Yu in front of him.

Chen Yu opened his mouth, not knowing what to say for a long time.

Ying Gang rolled his eyes, lowered his voice a little, looked at Chen Yu in front of him and said: "Of course, as long as your Wei State can agree to me a few conditions, 150 million stones of grain, I will immediately approve and send people to Wei country."

"Let's talk, general." Chen Yu was very calm, because he knew that right now, people are fighting for the sword and I'm for the fish, and no matter how much you say, nothing will change. It's better to listen to Ying Gang's plan.

"I want population."
