Daqin: Sign in with Princess Honglian at the beginning

Chapter 185: Going to Wei State, Obstacles in Purchasing Grain

Wei Royal Palace, Royal Palace Main Hall.

Wei State, Queen Dowager Le Ling, was wearing luxurious queen dowager clothing, red and yellow, extremely gorgeous, her hair was snow-white but neatly combed, and she wore a noble phoenix crown on her head.

There are signs of aging on her face, but judging from her appearance, she was a stunningly beautiful woman when she was young.

In the main hall, Han Fei and Hong Lian saw Queen Mother Le Ling appear and saluted respectfully.

But obviously, Han Fei's unreliability was recognized by everyone, and Empress Dowager Le Ling didn't want to pay any attention to him at all.

This made Han Fei smile bitterly. Brother Mu was right.

Queen Mother Le Ling walked to her seat and called Hong Lian, "Hong Lian, you are my sister's niece. Come, come to me."

Honglian said respectfully: "My father respects the Queen Mother and told me to abide by the rules. I dare not act recklessly."

Queen Mother Le Ling smiled and said, "How can we be so distant? I am your grandmother's biological sister, so I am naturally your grandmother as well."

Honglian smiled playfully and came to sit down next to Empress Dowager Le Ling. Her youthful smile made Empress Dowager Le Ling happy.

Of course, poor Han Fei had been deliberately forgotten by Empress Dowager Le Ling, just to show her power.

In the Wei Kingdom Palace, outside the palace, Mu Feng and Zi Nu did not go in with Han Fei and Hong Lian. Han Fei and Hong Lian used to play the emotional card, and if there were more outsiders, it would have the opposite effect.

It would be better to accompany Zi Nu to appreciate the majesty of the Wei royal palace.

In 453 BC, Zhao Xiangzi, Wei Huanzi and Han Kangzi launched the Three Families Divide Jin.

In 403 BC, Wei, Zhao and Han were officially named princes by King Weilie of Zhou.

As Wei State was located in the central area surrounded by enemies, the precarious environment and great ambition made Wei Wenhou the first monarch in the Warring States Period to implement reforms and strengthen the country.

He appointed Zhai Huang as prime minister to reform bad politics; appointed Le Yang as general to attack Zhongshan State; appointed Li Kui to carry out reforms, teach legal classics, and govern the country according to law. The State of Wei began to prosper.

In 334 BC, King Hui of Wei and King Wei of Qi held a meeting in Xuzhou and recognized each other as kings, which is known in history as the "Xuzhou Kingship".

He appointed Wu Qi, adopted the Wuzu system, selected soldiers for training, and established a highly professional military force, which played an important role in the early prosperity of the Wei State.

Wei Wenhou employed Li Kui, Wu Qi, Le Yang, Ximen Bao, Zixia, Zhai Huang, Wei Cheng and others to enrich the country and strengthen the army, suppress the State of Zhao, destroy Zhongshan, defeat Qin, Qi and Chu in succession, expand large tracts of territory, and make Wei the overlord of the Central Plains.

Wei Wenhou appointed Li Kui to preside over the reform and legal system construction of Wei, which influenced Chinese politics for two thousand years. The reforms of Qin Xian Gong, Qin Xiao Gong and Shang Yang were all based on Wei.

Wu Qi and Li Kui were the foundation of the State of Wei. Wu Qi laid the foundation for the State of Wei to strive for hegemony and established the powerful Wei Wuzu, which forced the State of Qin to avoid it.

Wu Qi was even more powerful. He was proficient in the art of war, reformed the military, and intimidated the seven kingdoms. In the animation, he forced Luo Wang to personally surround and kill him, and he died.

In the economic field, Li Kui implemented the policies of "making full use of the land" and "buying grain at a fair price", encouraging farmers to cultivate the land intensively and increase production. The state purchased surplus grain at a fair price in good years and sold it at a fair price in bad years to stabilize grain prices. He advocated sowing a variety of grain crops at the same time to prevent disasters and famines.

He implemented the rule of law in politics, abolished the hereditary aristocracy system that maintained the privileges of the nobility, rewarded those who had made contributions to the country, and made Wei one of the powerful countries in the early Warring States period.

He compiled the laws of various countries at that time into the "Law Code", which was the first relatively complete code of law in ancient my country and has now been lost. His idea of ​​combining "agriculture" with "rule of law" had a great influence on Shang Yang and Han Fei.

The purple girl was wearing a gradient long-sleeved water skirt with a layer of dark purple gauze on her chest that fit tightly against her graceful body. Her long purple hair was scattered and tied up with a ribbon and three silver hairpins. A strand of black hair hung down on both sides of her forehead, making her look cool and elegant.

Admiring the majesty of the Wei capital with Mu Feng, he asked, "Are you sure Han Fei can buy food from the Queen Mother?"

Mu Feng leaned on the railing with both hands and said, "Although Queen Mother Le Ling is the Queen Mother of Wei, she is essentially Korean and has always had a family affection for Korea."

"Although Han Fei may not be friendly when he meets the Queen Mother, that is because of Han Fei's bad reputation."

"However, if we prepare for both situations and let Honglian go, there might be unexpected results."

Zi Nu laughed and said, "You, both siblings are now completely controlled by you."

Then, with a serious expression, he said, "According to the news from the palace and Liusha, the Jade Tiger obviously knew that we came to Wei to buy grain, and their people had already met the Queen Mother before us."

"Although Queen Mother Le Ling has family ties to South Korea, they will always be very weak in the face of interests."

Mu Feng shook his head and said, "Since Brother Han is confident enough to come to Wei, it means he can handle things perfectly. The wisdom of the Ninth Prince is more than just this."

Zi Nu sighed and said, "Go to Wei State to buy grain at a high price. Now the price of grain is two gold coins per dou, which is ridiculously high. Aren't you afraid of spending all your money and becoming poor in the future?"

Mu Feng looked at Zi Nu and said softly, "So, I have Miss Zi Nu to support me. Miss Zi Nu will definitely not let me fall into such a miserable state."

Zi Nu rolled her eyes and said, "Just keep talking nonsense."

Mu Feng continued in a serious tone, "Brother Han is going around to buy food. What we need to do is to lure the birds of the night away and eliminate all factors that are dangerous to the food and grass."

"So, I wonder if Miss Zi Nu would like to accompany me?"

Zi Nu rolled her eyes at Mu Feng, twisted her waist, and followed Mu Feng to arrange the following matters.

In the palace of King Wei, the conversation continued.

Empress Dowager Le Ling finally stopped giving Han Fei the cold shoulder and asked, "Han Fei, I heard that you spend all day drinking and having fun, not doing your job, and making friends with all kinds of people."

"Now I have a position in government, which is not bad. Now, what do you want to do in Wei State?"

Han Fei bowed respectfully and said, "To be honest with you, Queen Mother, I am here to buy grain from the State of Wei for disaster relief."

Queen Mother Le Ling drank a cup of tea and said slowly, "It seems that the drought in Nanyang is coming with great force. You are planning to take advantage of me."

"Go back early before it gets dark."

It is obvious that Empress Dowager Le Ling rejected Han Fei's request.

Honglian understood what Mu Feng said, which was that she was needed to soften Queen Mother Le Ling. Because Honglian was very similar to Queen Mother Le Ling's deceased sister, what Honglian said was very useful.

Honglian said quickly: "Grandma is right. My brother loves drinking and having fun. He is drunk every day and always says outrageous things."

"First, he drove away the Qin envoy who came to question him. Recently, because there was not enough money for disaster relief, he bet his entire fortune at a banquet to raise money."

Queen Mother Le Ling obviously believed Hong Lian's words and asked, "Really?"

Honglian nodded quickly and said, "Yes."

Empress Dowager Le Ling pondered for a while and said, "So, it seems that I believed the flattery."

"Han Fei."

Queen Mother Le Ling sat down and said, "In the Korean market today, the price of grain has reached two gold coins per dou."

"As the Queen Mother of Wei, I will never do business at a loss for Wei."
