Lin Feng also put away the smile on his face and said directly: "Your Majesty, in addition to bringing back Liuli, I am also responsible for the Qin State, negotiating with the Jin State on behalf of the Qin State to divide the Xia State's territory between the two countries. thing."
Sima Chong also narrowed his eyes and asked: "Qin State has destroyed Xia State, how do you plan to carve up Xia State?"
Lin Feng said: "The Jin State entered the Xia State's Yuzhou border from the south and is attacking Yuzhou. Because the entire Yuzhou territory borders the Jin State. In addition, the entire Xia State Yangzhou territory in the south also borders the Jin State. Therefore, between Yuzhou and Yangzhou All the land will be allocated to the Jin State. As for the Qin State, it is enough to occupy Yanzhou. What do you think, Your Majesty?"
This time to carve up the Xia Kingdom, according to the discussions between Lin Feng, Li Chongfu and others, the Qin Kingdom wanted to restrain its power and occupy mainly the Heluo and Yanzhou areas.
The goal is just that.
The remaining areas of the Xia State were handed over to the Jin and Qi States and allowed to be fed by the two countries. Qin's goal is to first completely control the occupied areas, and at the same time make Jin and Qi think that Qin is not aggressive.
This is the biggest reason.
Furthermore, among the various territories of the Xia Kingdom, only Yanzhou was actually slightly richer. The remaining states and regions have long been ruined. If the Qin State accepted them all, it would be impossible to provide disaster relief. Rather than doing this, it is better to give it to Jin and Qi to benefit both countries.
When Sima Chong heard Lin Feng's words, his well-maintained face showed a look of shock.
Qin's military success is known to all the world.
Everyone knows that the Qin army is powerful and capable of conquering and fighting.
Xia was defeated by Qin.
Similarly, if they really have to fight alone, especially on land, if Jin and Qin fight, Jin will be crushed.
In his heart, Sima Chong felt that it was not true, and he tested: "Lin Feng, does Qin really give up Yuzhou and parts of Yangzhou near the north bank of the Yangtze River? You know, this is a vast territory."
"certainly!"
Lin Feng nodded and said: "But our Qin country also has certain conditions."
call!
Sima Chong breathed a sigh of relief.
Conditionally normal.
If there are no conditions, people will not be reassured. He does not think Qin is a kind person.
Sima Chong leaned forward slightly and asked, "What are the conditions?"
Lin Feng said: "The Qin State has been suffering from continuous wars in recent years, which has consumed a lot of money. As we all know, the Qin State is poor. Especially in the territory of the Xia State, the people are even more difficult. Disaster relief is needed everywhere, and people need relief everywhere."
"Now that the Qin State has captured Anyi and is attacking the land of Yanzhou, it is even more important to provide relief to the people and stabilize the people's hearts. The Qin State does not have enough grain, so please ask the Jin State to transfer a batch of grain and sell it to the Qin State. The amount of grain should be at least thousands More than 10,000 kilograms.”
Lin Feng said: "The price of grain shall be based on the market price of Jin."
Sima Chong nodded slightly.
This is reasonable.
The State of Qin was already very poor. Even though Lin Feng made a series of reforms in the State of Qin, the State of Qin was still poor.
The war not only relies on the troops fighting on the front line, but also on the logistics and supplies in the rear.
Without logistics, everything is a problem.
Sima Chong thought about it carefully and asked: "Lin Feng, our Jin State has abundant food, so naturally we have enough food to sell to the Qin State. I can directly open a granary and sell food to the Qin State. However, the Qin State has So much money?”
Lin Feng said confidently: "Your Majesty, I don't need to worry about this. Qin has enough money to buy it. There is even as much money as there is left."
"really?"
Sima Chong smiled and said: "When you say that, I am very suspicious."
Lin Feng said: "To be fair to your majesty, the matter is actually not a secret. The Qin State entered Anyi, the imperial capital of Xia State, ransacked their homes and destroyed some of the big families. So now there is a lot of money, but there is just a lack of food."
hiss!
Sima Chong took a breath when he heard this.
Conquer the family and exterminate the clan!
The large-scale confiscation of the Xia Kingdom's big families would easily lead to great local shocks.
The State of Jin is composed of countless aristocratic families, and the officialdom is full of people from aristocratic families. The aristocratic family has mastered a large number of resources, countless connections and relationships, and has formed a huge influence.
Just like this, Sima Chong knew the influence of the big family. If you are in the Jin Kingdom and want to confiscate big families at will, it will add fuel to the fire and cause a great shock.
Sima Chong took a deep breath and calmed down.
He didn't care how the Qin State ransacked their homes and exterminated their clans in Anyi.
The Qin State desperately confiscated the big families and the nobles of the original Xia State, which caused the big families to boycott the Qin State, which was beneficial to the Jin State.
Sima Chong smiled and said: "Since Qin State has money, I agree to open a warehouse to sell grain to Qin State. However, the grain I can mobilize is about 20 million catties."
"That's enough, thank you Your Majesty."
Lin Feng smiled and said: "Your Majesty is benevolent and righteous, and you are worthy of being our ally of Qin. Jin and Qin will divide their territories. At the same time, Qin and Qi will also divide their territories. When the situation is decided, the world will be divided into three parts. Our three countries should have a permanent alliance."
"I'll wait and see."
A flash of light flashed across Sima Chong's eyes.
Today's Jin State obviously does not have the conditions to further expand. It must first seize parts of Yuzhou and Yangzhou.
Next step, think about it again.
Sima Chong said: "Lin Feng, when you are in the Qin State, you are just a prince who controls the country, right?"
"yes!"
Lin Feng nodded.
Among the titles he holds, Marquis of Zhenguo is the largest, and there are no more rewards for the time being. However, although Lin Feng did not receive a reward, in fact Lin Feng's status in the Qin State was extremely special.
Lin Feng was involved in any major event that happened in Qin.
Many policies were formulated by Lin Feng.
He is not a prominent official in the court, but he is no weaker than a minister.
Sima Chong leaned forward and said slowly: "Lin Feng, as long as you come to Jin to serve as an official, I will give you the title of Duke. In addition, I, the consort of Jin, never interfere in government affairs and rarely speak in the court. right."
"You have outstanding talents, so I allow you to become an official and serve in the court."
"You don't have much experience in being an official. You can first go to the Ministry of Personnel and serve as a member of the Ministry of Personnel. You will gradually become familiar with the Ministry of Personnel and then continue to be promoted. With your talent, I estimate that you can become a minister within a few years. "
Sima Chong asked bewilderedly: "What do you think?"
Sima Yu hurriedly nodded in agreement and said with a smile: "Lin Feng, our Jin Kingdom has been at peace for many years, and the rewards of the Duke's title have been very few. When the country was founded, there were many Dukes. But the Dukes who are still alive today can't be given a slap in the face." They can all be counted. In other words, if a minister of the court dies of illness, he may give it to the Duke of the country posthumously. My father relies on me so much, so this is your chance."
Lin Feng wanted to laugh in his heart.
He can do whatever he wants in Qin State, why should he suffer in Jin State?
What's more, the Jin State seems to be strong, but in fact the Jin State is governed by a large family. People from big families were spread all over the country. Although the imperial power had a certain degree of influence, it was actually limited to the imperial court.
If there was a conflict between the emperor and the big family, it would be difficult to carry out the emperor's orders.
This is the pattern of Jin State.
Lin Feng was unwilling to stay in Jinling City.
Lin Feng smiled and said: "Your Majesty is kind-hearted, I appreciate it, and please forgive me. I am now in the Qin State, just a businessman, and I will provide some military and political advice. I don't have to worry about food and clothing, and I don't have any other ideas."
Sima Chong frowned slightly.
He gave preferential treatment.
Unexpectedly, Lin Feng was so stubborn and unwilling to stay in Jin.
Sima Chong felt a little unhappy again. I gave you better treatment, but you still won't stay.
You don't even want to give me face. Just thinking of Xu Liuli made Sima Chong's anger disappear. His daughter was facing Lin Feng, and he was helpless.
I can only admit it.
Sima Chong flicked his sleeves and said, "That's all, it's up to you. If you figure it out, come to me at any time."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Lin Feng bowed again.
After the important matter was settled, Lin Feng asked Sima Chong to draw up the seal for the credentials, and the Qin and Jin countries directly finalized the border arrangements for the Xia Kingdom.
Near noon, the emperor held a special banquet in honor of Lin Feng and Xu Liuli, and the prince and queen were also present.
After the banquet ended, Lin Feng and Xu Liuli left.
