Chapter 78 Obsession

The breakfast time was only two quarters of an hour, but less than a quarter of an hour, the listeners were moved. Like later generations, capital was extremely sensitive to risks. What was the Qin State, what was the Three Jin Dynasty, what was Qi, and what was the Chu, and what was the merchants knew very early:

The Qin State could never expect. Even important officials like Zhang Yi, Fan Sui, and Wen Xinhou abandoned them like worn clogs. What else could they expect? And the Three Jins were like a candle in the wind. Han and Wei no longer had the power to resist Qin, and Zhao State was still there, but they no longer had the character of King Xiaocheng of Zhao. They were timid towards the Qin people and just wanted to be at peace;

Although Qi State was not like the Three Jins, Qi State was a great merchant country for a long time. Qi State's salt, lacquerware, ironware, silk, cloth, fish goods, mirage, and even jingling and slimming were sold all over the world. It was difficult for foreign capital to gain a foothold in Qi State. In other words, Qi State did not lack money or goods, but it was short of market;

The Chu State moved eastward and was weak, and after destroying Lu, the strong ones became stronger, but the strong ones were very limited. However, the things that happened last year to this year have to make everyone optimistic about Chu State. Chu State has a heroic and intelligent king. Although it is not bad, although the Chu royal family has a heart disease, they may have a short life. Another meaning of Weilong is that they will be in power for a long time, and may even exceed King Zhaoxiang of Qin who has been in power for fifty-six years. A long life will lead to a stable political situation, and a stable political situation will lead to a strong country and a rich people.

What is investing? Isn’t it just about people? Among the kings of the nations, the King of Chu is the most worthy of investment, and the State of Chu will be able to implement the system of foreign dynasties in the future. Yingdu has opened external dynasties, and counties and towns have also opened external dynasties. The most important thing is: this government does not exclude merchants. For the selection of national people, the county and towns are "five hundred to thousand people choose one person", and Ying is "one person with ten thousand people".

'If the laws of Chu are to be seen by merchants, they must have a great contribution and then be seen.' This is true for Chu, and other countries are actually similar, but the implementation of the foreign government system can make merchants see the king. This is something that merchants dare not dream of but long for a long time.

Is it difficult to become a Chinese? It is not difficult at all. As long as you become a Chu person, and then do some good deeds in the local area to win the people's expectations, and then manage the Yingdu county and towns well, merchants can immediately transform themselves into nationals in the Yingdu dynasty. If the doctors regard the dynasty as not too old, they generally dare not speak out too much, but the Chinese people can "appoint and remove officials, consult political affairs, approve taxes, and abolish the law."

Good investment targets, reliable guarantee mechanisms, and the barriers of the Sanjin, as well as the 'deep' and the sea boats that Xiong Jing said. As soon as he left the palace, several people knew what they thought about each other. However, Bai Yi, Yizan and others could not suppress their excitement, but Wei Liao felt deeply disappointed. When he returned to the inn, he reminded Bai Yi: "Zi Yi really wants to buy the treasury bonds of the King of Chu?"

"The world should change a lot. If we don't devote ourselves to the State of Chu, where can we go?" Bai Yi was also surprised by his compromise, especially when he was persuaded by a man who was not good at the bottom of the world, he seemed to be very backbone, but how much is a pound of backbone worth? What he wants is to make a profit. Even if he cannot make a profit, he must keep his capital value in the great changes in the world.

"The Qin State must not be inhabited, and Qin State also has many great Shangs. There are widows Qing in Bashu, and Wuzhibao in the northwest." Wei Liao advised. "Although Chu State has the Three Jins guardings outside and thousands of miles deep inside, the Chu State has very few Dingkou. Qin swallowed the Three Jins and would destroy the Chu State. How can Brother Ziyi stay there at that time? Avoid the Indian and Mediterranean countries mentioned by the King of Chu?

More than ten years ago, when I was still in Guigu, Mr. Zizhong said: 'Before Changping, the world was either Qin or Zhao. However, Zhao had not obtained the former land of the Three Jins, and he could not compete with the Qin people. After Changping, the general situation in the world was settled, and he could not stay in the world for twenty years, inside but not outside. Now the King of Qin has given up the title of power and destroyed the countries. In this world, he should be here for twenty years.'"

"Why didn't Zi Liao go to Qin after leaving the valley?" Wei Liao rarely mentioned the incident of Guigu, so Bai Yi asked.

"The King of Wei swallowed the Wei Kingdom, but his country was preserved. Although Qin was destined to kill the Wei people and destroy the ancestral temple." Wei Liao sighed.

The name of Guiguzi is known to everyone in the world, but Guiguzi is not a person, but a inheritance. The Zhou people used Shang, and the Yin people regarded him as brothers and feet, such as Wei Ziqi of Song, and some regarded him as enemies, such as old ministers of Wei State. After the Three Principal Rebellion, Fei Lian died in the edge of Yinghai. Seeing that there was no hope of returning Shang, the old ministers of King Zhou had to hide into the Yunmeng Mountains outside Chaoge. During the Western Zhou Dynasty, due to the fact that the Zhou people did not accept disciples, who would have thought that the King of Praying the King of Killing his father, and fabricated the lies of "beacon fire to play with the princes". The system of rituals and music collapsed from then on, and Guigu began to accept disciples outside.

‘Get rid of the strange politics of rituals and music, and return to the righteousness of the Yin people’. This is the ideal that Mr. Guigu has been chanting for generations, and Qin State was the son of Fei Lian, after the evil coming, so most of Guigu’s disciples entered Qin.

"Zi Liao." Bai Yi shook his head, "What if you enter Qin Ruwenxin Hou Gui is the prime minister? King Yingwu of Chu, if you stay..."

"The King of Chu is pedantic and can't do anything." It was just a two-quarter hour discussion, and Wei Liao knew that the King of Chu was the one.

"The King of Chu is brave and wise, and now he can take charge of the rule, why not?" Bai Yi said strangely. He knew Wei Liao's talent, and if he could serve the King of Chu, he would be a helper.

"The system of the people in the foreign court is not conducive to the royal power, but only benefits merchants and common people. However, with the power of the world, Chu should implement Qin laws. If not, the country will perish." Wei Liao was depressed after learning that Chu was in the foreign court, and at that time he felt that he should leave Ying and enter Qin.

"Will the country be destroyed if the profitable merchants and common people do not have the country?" Bai Yi looked at him in surprise. "Zi Liao, don't forget that the reform of the Three Jins was first. In addition to the Zhao State, the Three Jins could still fight, can the soldiers of Han and Wei fight today? The reform was only powerful for several generations, and after several generations, the people were tired of fighting against hatred officials. How long does it take for the Qin people to fight?" Bai Yi said that, and then chanted a song by Qin people: "'Be careful not to raise the boys, and give them a daughter to feed them as a jerk. If you don't see the land of the Three Jins, the corpse is on the pillar.' This is a song by Qin people, which shows the hearts of the people."

"I have never heard of this song." Wei Liao disagreed, "'I don't see the land of the Three Jins, why do I say it is a Qin swear word?"

"Oh." Bai Yi did not defend himself and chanted again: "'Wei River does not start the mouth and prose.'Where is the Wei River? Is it also in the Three Jin Dynasties?"

"The world has been fighting for hundreds of years, and there are no one who is happy to fight and die. However, the Qin State has achieved its momentum. If the Chu State implements Qin laws, it may be able to survive. If the Qin State does not follow Qin laws, it will destroy the country." Wei Liao skipped this section. "The profit of huge iron is not as good as that of a million troops. In the future, a million Qin troops will come to Shouying. How can the Chu State, which has less than 400,000 soldiers in the country resist Qin State? The huge gold of the king should be captured by the Qin people."

"Why is Zi Liao obsessed with Qin?" Bai Yi didn't care about Wei Liao's statement, but instead asked Taixi.

"In the world, Qin is strong and should enter Qin." Wei Liao's ambition to enter Qin was even stronger. "Why is Ziyi obsessed with Chu?"

"Shang also has its own way, and the King of Chu has its own rules, so he should keep Chu." Bai Yi also understood his choice.

"However, Qin has laws, and the strictness of Qin laws is not the same as the nations," Wei Liao argued, "If you stay in Chu, you will be a prisoner of the Qin army in the future."

"What is the best thing to say about the king? What is the use of Qin's law? How can I keep my gold?" Bai Yi finally stopped kneeling down, but sat down.

Wei Liao was speechless, and he no longer knelt down and sat in the table. After the quarrel, the room became more quiet, and this silence made both of them feel uncomfortable. Bai Yi was a big Shang after all, and he smiled and said, "I didn't expect that there would be a separation when I was with Zi Liao for several years. I also knew some of the disciples of Wenxin Hou in Qin. Zi Liao entered Qin and was quick, and those who were slow would change."

Bai Yi's words made Wei Liao feel a little quarrel, and he felt a lot of emotion: "I will repay you when I am worshipping the prime minister in the future. I will leave Ying tomorrow."

"Great kindness!" Bai Yi smiled: "Just relying on Zi Liao's ambition to worship the prime minister, you and I should drink the three croakers. Come and drink wine and play music!"

"I pay homage to the king!" At the far northeast corner of the Zaofu, a group of officials and craftsmen worshipped Xiong Jing. These craftsmen felt guilty - the Paper Mansion earned a lot of money, the Jutien Mansion was so powerful that the Lu Li Mansion was well-known for the three armies... His concrete mansion was fiddling with the bricks and earth tiles, but nothing was done.

"No gifts. Thank you all for your hard work." Xiong Jing was a little proud when he saw the sign of the Concrete Mansion: the founding of the Concrete Mansion, the Jade Mansion had been reorganized, and eight prefectures were divided into paper, minerals (coal), iron, Luli, salt, ceramics, ships, and concrete. The industrialization of the State of Chu had taken another solid part. Next, he would establish the Navigation Mansion and the Machinery Mansion.

"I don't dare." Tao Shu, the governor of the Concrete House who holds several positions, still lie down and dare not move. Following him, the others did not move. "I am ashamed of the king. Today, I am guilty of creating the cement that the king said."

"What are you guilty? Do you think cement is so easy to make?" Xiong Jing personally stepped forward and helped Tao Shu up. In addition to being the governor of the Concrete Mansion, he was also the governor of the Ceramic Mansion. There were porcelains in the Shang and Zhou dynasties, but unfortunately the temperature of the Dragon Kiln furnace could not exceed 1,200 degrees, and it was difficult to burn thoroughly. The coke came up at 1,600 degrees, and even the kiln was burned through. How could porcelain not be made? Cement is completely different. It is not easy to match cement and it is even more difficult to grind.

"The king taught a lot, but the minister was stupid and only today did he get the method." Tao Shu bowed in front and guided the king.

"I just know the truth, but I don't know the skills, so I can only let you try it a little bit." Xiong Jing said as he walked. He came to build the mansion today to see the cement. "I thought it would take some time to burn it, but I didn't expect it to be ready now."

"I am stupid, but I am stupid." Tao Shu still looked guilty. The cement raw materials are mainly limestone and clay, and then some gypsum, some iron slag, etc. But Xiong Jing didn't know how much limestone was used and how much clay was used. He had to test it, and under the exhaustive method, the Concrete Mansion quickly mastered the correct ratio.

But the correct ratio is not enough. The cement raw material needs to be ground, and the clinker must be ground. One ton of cement needs to be ground three to four tons of raw material. Primitive stone mills were found in the Neolithic era, but after the invention of pounding, the primitive stone mills were eliminated. Today, all countries eat grains, and there are slightly more advanced stone mills, but there are stone mills used in later generations that are used to grind tofu, with two fans on the upper and lower sides, and there are no stone mills in the fan.
