"It's true!" Gongsun Yan said seriously, "I suggest that the king should order the farmers to return to the fields and plant food."

"Absurd!" Gongzi Ju retorted loudly, "You are exaggerating! Our Wei Kingdom is a vast country. Have you ever heard of famine in the country in recent years?"

"We have already reserved a lot of food and can deal with it even if there is a famine. Those fields can produce food in just one year. What's there to be afraid of?"

"Didn't you see that Wei State has a strong national strength and is booming?"

Speaking of which, as the "key target of strategy" of Zhao State, Gongziju made a lot of benefits in the trade of Zhao State, so he naturally disagreed with Gongsun Yan's proposal.

Although Wei Yao was vigilant, she was not vigilant enough. She said: "Gongsun Yan, I will order you to investigate this matter, organize manpower, let some barren land be replanted and reserve grain."

"Affect the order." Gongsun Yan knew that his actions would be difficult.

Because the entire Wei court and the nobles of Wei were all his resistance. Prime Minister Gongzi Ju, General Pang Ming, and Wei Yao’s office were all part of this chain of interests!

Before they knew it, they had been "buyed" by Zhang Beichen!

...

Some people in Chu State also realized this problem.

Fan Lue found the King of Chu and explained his concerns to her: "King, now that the farmland in Chu is abandoned, everyone will breed elks and make iron. These things will continue to flow into Zhao State. In the long run, Chu State will

It will be annexed by Zhao State!"

Xiong Zhitong is not only not very interested in politics, but also knows little about the economy.

She frowned and said, "Isn't our country very strong at present? The treasury is full!"

Because Zhao State took the initiative to make concessions, Chu State naturally had money.

Fan Lue said: "Money is nothing more than some gold, silver, copper and iron. If it cannot be exchanged for food, even if it is piled up with the treasury, it will be worthless!"

"The teacher said it is reasonable." Xiong Zhitong agreed, "Then the teacher will handle this matter."

"King..." Fan Lei wanted to persuade him again, but Xiong Zhitong had already left. She still wanted to practice martial arts.

"Hey! How can I deal with it?" Fan Lei sighed. He was powerless.

This involves too many nobles' interests. Can he, an old man, still be against all nobles? The King of Chu must make up his mind to order the nobles and the people to return to agricultural production.

But the King of Chu didn't care about this issue at all.

"The State of Chu is probably not far from the destruction of the country!" Fan Lei only felt physically and mentally exhausted. Instead of being destroyed like this, he was more willing to fight against his opponents on the battlefield so that he could display his military talents.

...

Zhao State, Zhao Royal Palace.

Zhang Beichen was lying on Zhao Yun's bed, while Zhao Yun was lying in her arms.

Zhao Yun sniffed the smell of Zhang Beichen and said, "You still have her body fragrance!"

"Don't you like it?"

"like!"

The two laughed for a moment, and Zhang Beichen said: "King, we have been implementing the plan for food wars for several years. Zhao's food monopolized the markets of Wei and Chu. Half of the fields of Wei and Chu have been deserted.

, Once we stop selling food, these two countries will inevitably fall into famine and domestic turmoil!”

"Now both countries have realized this problem and have begun to deal with it. I think it's time to close the net and catch them off guard!"

"Yes." Zhao Yun whispered in Zhang Beichen's ear: "I will listen to you."

...

Zhang Beichen began the network collection plan, but instead of directly cutting off grain trading, he started with seeds.

Nowadays, the Wei and Chu states not only buy grain from Zhao state, but also buy grain from Zhao state! Because the grain from Zhao state is much better than the grain from their two countries, with higher yields, and are more resistant to insect pests.

Therefore, the farmers in both countries are now planting grains from Zhao State.

Gongsun Yan and Fan Lue only saw the problem of grain trading, but did not notice the problem of grain seeds.

And Zhang Beichen had already laid the foreshadowing on this!

He summoned the large grain merchants of Zhao State, and these were his people.

"Remember, all the grains sold to Wei and Chu this year will be sold for inferior products. When the grain seeds are sold out, you will collectively stop the grain transactions and raise the price of food!"

"yes!"

The inferior grains prepared by Zhang Beichen are those with natural defects, such as easily getting sick or extremely low yields. These seeds should have been eliminated, but Zhang Beichen kept them and specially cultivated a batch of them for the purpose of

At this time, it was sold to Wei and Chu!

[Wei and Chu purchased inferior seeds from Zhao and began spring plowing this year.]

Zhang Beichen estimated the time and started the operation again when the spring plowing was about to end.

...

Zhao State, in the court.

Fei Jian came out of the line and reported to Zhao Yunhui: "Your Majesty, I have important matters to report!"

"What's the matter with you?" Zhao Yun asked.

Fei looked hesitant when he saw him. He looked at Zhang Beichen, then looked at Zhao Yun, and then said with a thorn in his mouth: "Your Majesty, I want to report someone!"

"Who is reporting?" Zhao Yun's expression became serious.

"Report my Prime Minister Zhao, Zhang Beichen!" Fei Jian said loudly.

After he finished speaking, all the ministers were shocked!

Zhao Yun even asked: "Fei Jian, the Prime Minister is the pillar of my Zhao State. You'd better make it clear that you can't wrongly accuse the good people!"

Fei Jian shouted: "I will never wrongly accuse a good person! According to my investigation, Zhang Beichen has lived a luxurious life in the past few years and has been squandering. For the sake of his own selfish desire, he sold the grain in the grain silo of Zhao to Wei and Chu without authorization.

country!"

"Now, the granary of my Zhao Kingdom is empty! King, Zhang Beichen is extremely guilty!"

After saying that, Fei Jian presented his investigation content.

After Zhao Yun finished reading it, her face suddenly became gloomy. She said angrily: "There is such a thing. Zhang Beichen, Gu trusts you so much, is this how you repay Gu?"

"Master, these are all villains. I have never done such a thing before!" Zhang Beichen said quickly.

"Shut up!" Zhao Yun, who had always obeyed Zhang Beichen's will, scolded him at this time and said, "From today, Zhang Beichen will be suspended. Fat to see you, come and investigate this matter!"

"Abide by the order!"

The ministers were silent and dared not speak.

...

When he arrived at the palace, Zhao Yun said to Zhang Beichen with a proud look on his face: "How is it? Is the lonely performance today pretty good?"

"Yes, it scared me!" Zhang Beichen said with a smile.

"You are very brave. Even the king dares to attack you. How could you scare you?" Zhao Yun rolled his eyes.

Zhang Beichen continued: "After we finished this drama, the king could order that because Zhao State lacked enough food, it stopped selling grain to Wei and Chu countries. In this way, their suspicion could be minimized."

"At this time, the king punished me to go to the border to guard the border. I took the opportunity to train my army. When the time came, I could defeat the two countries in one fell swoop!"

Hearing his words, Zhao Yun sighed: "No wonder Gu always failed to win the world before. Zhang Qing, with you here this time, why did Gu lose?"

...

[The Prime Minister of Zhao State stole official grain and was sent to the border to guard the border. The King of Zhao ordered that the Zhao State grain merchants were prohibited from selling grain to foreign countries.]

News about Zhao quickly spread to Wei and Chu, and the two countries suddenly panicked.

Because they found that before they knew it, they had become dependent on Zhao's food!
