Chapter 284 Cai Ze offers a plan

When Zhao Dan heard this, his face remained silent and asked: "Is the gold that sir talking about is gold?"

Cai Ze nodded without hesitation and said, "The king Mingjian, what Ze asks for is exactly the one with a hundred taels of gold."

Zhao Dan couldn't help but think in his heart: "It seems that Cai Ze is really very confident."

In this era, "gold" usually refers to bronze currency, that is, shovel coins, knives, etc., and a thousand gold coins usually also refer to equal amounts of bronze currency.

However, when using the unit "Yi", gold generally refers to gold.

That's why Zhao Dan and Cai Ze responded so much.

"The Art of War: Military Formation" once said: "Therefore, the winning army is like weighing a jin with a jin, and the defeated army is like weighing a jin with a jin."

Words such as "Yi", "Zhu" and "Liang" are all units of weight and measure in the Warring States Period today.

Since the weights and measures of different countries are different, the conversion standards are also different.

Judging from the weights and measures of Zhao State, one tael is equal to twenty-four taels, and one hundred taels is equivalent to two thousand four hundred taels.

Two thousand four hundred taels of gold, how dare this kid Cai Ze speak up!

Of course, the "two" in Zhao's current state cannot be equated compared to the "two" in later generations.

But even so, this is a huge sum of money.

You should know that the current great figure in Zhao State's political arena, Zhao Dan's confidant, Yu Xin, was awarded 100 taels of gold by Zhao Dan when he first met. When he met for the second time, he was directly awarded the title of Lieutenant of Zhao State and was named Shangqing of Zhao State.

Cai Ze spoke like this and regarded himself as the second Yu Xin.

It can be said that he is very confident.

If it weren't for Zhao Dan's knowledge of Cai Ze's deeds in history books, then just such words would be enough to give Cai Zean the first impression of "pretentious and boasting".

No wonder this guy is not valued in Yan and Wei. It is probably the two kings who think that besides being ugly, he also likes to brag...

Zhao Dan coughed and said seriously: "Sir, can you tell that 100 taels of gold is not a small amount?"

Cai Ze also responded seriously, saying, "Ze, I dare to ask the king, which is more important than a hundred taels of gold than apart from Fan Sui?"

Zhao Dan said: "Of course, it is important to remove Fan Sui."

Although Zhao Dan had known the ending of Fan Sui for a long time, if Fan Sui could be eliminated as soon as possible, Zhao Dan would of course be happy.

From a historical perspective, when the Qin State became the next famous prime minister after Fan Sui's death, it was all about Lu Buwei's rise to power during the Qin Shihuang period.

Although Zhao Dan seems to have taken advantage of the current confrontation with Fan Sui, no matter what, Fan Sui will die early and be reborn early, and let the mediocre Qin Prime Minister take the throne.

So Zhao Dan said again: "If the teacher can remove Fan Sui, then a hundred taels of gold will naturally not be a problem. However, I want to ask Mr., if I really reward the hundred taels of gold to Mr., how can I solve this big problem for me?"

Cai Ze smiled proudly, stroked the beard under his jaw and said, "I dare to teach the king to learn that if Ze removes Fan Sui, just this sharp mouth is enough."

Zhao Dan signaled himself to listen carefully.

Cai Ze said: "Since the reform of Shangjun, the monarchs of Qin have always valued power but did not have virtue. If the ministers benefited from Qin, they would use it. If those who did not benefit from Qin, they would abandon it and kill it. This is a disadvantage of Qin. Before, Shangjun was broken by a cart, and later, Ranghou was poisoned and killed. This is all like this."

"Fan Sui first helped King Ji of Qin to expel the four nobles from the front, and then offered far-reaching and close attacks from the back. He was originally very trusted by King Ji of Qin. However, since the defeat of Changping, Fan Sui's plan has been defeated continuously, which has been a great loss of prestige. Now the king ordered the coalition forces of the Three Jins to send troops to Hedong, but the main force of Qin is far away in the Chu territory and it is difficult to return to help. The fall of Hedong is irreversible. In this way, King Ji of Qin will not be able to believe Fan Sui as before."

"Therefore, the king only needs to give Ze a hundred taels of gold and a few carriage servants. Ze will be able to enter Xianyang and speak of Qin, so that the Qin king and ministers will be completely disinterested. Fan Sui will definitely be in a position of no protection and will no longer be a trouble for the king!"

Cai Ze's analysis made Zhao Dan nod his head secretly.

It has to be said that it is already very outstanding and rare to see so many things with Cai Ze's current situation as a low-level intellectual. No wonder he can leave his name on history books.

So Zhao Dan didn't tell anything, and quickly spoke to Cai Ze, saying, "From my opinion, I should trust me."

Cai Ze was overjoyed when he heard this and saluted Zhao Dan and said, "Since that's the case, then Ze will thank the king!"

However, Zhao Dan did not finish his words.

Zhao Dan smiled meaningfully and continued, "It's just that in my opinion, my purpose is probably not as simple as helping me get rid of Fan Sui, right?"

Cai Ze's smile suddenly froze and he said, "The king is joking, Ze actually means..."

"Enough." Zhao Dan interrupted Cai Ze and said, "I am actually very clear about what I mean by sir. And please rest assured that the 100 taels of gold and carriage slaves that sir requested are not a problem for me."

Zhao Dan deliberately lengthened the tone and glanced at Cai Ze deeply.

Cai Ze originally smiled and looked at Zhao Dan, but slowly he couldn't laugh.

After a while, cold sweat began to appear on Cai Ze's head.

It was not until this time that Zhao Dan slowly spoke: "What I hope that sir knows is that being an enemy of me and Zhao State has never been a good option."

Cai Ze breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this and said hurriedly: "Which king said so much."

Zhao Dan looked at Cai Ze's panic-looking expressionlessly, and felt secretly amused in his heart.

Zhao Dan was actually a little unhappy about Cai Ze's pretentious style at the beginning.

Want to play tricks with me?

He also wants to treat me as a sucker and eventually become the big promoter of Ru Cai Ze's rise to power?

dream!

I have long seen Ru Cai Ze’s little plot clearly!

Now I don’t dare to show off with me anymore, right? Humph.

However, since Cai Ze has already admitted his conscience, Zhao Dan did not care much about himself and said, "If you have nothing to do, then go to the inn to rest first. Later, someone will deliver what you need. I just hope that Mr. Don't forget what I said today."

Cai Ze did not dare to say much, stood up timidly and left the hall, but he no longer had the style of giving instructions to Zhao Dan just now.

It was not until he walked down the steps of Longtai and stepped on the earth that Cai Ze dared to look back at the extremely tall palace behind him, and reached out to wipe the sweat from his forehead, and felt secretly in his heart.

"Everyone says that Zhao Wangdan is wise and powerful, but now he is really extraordinary when he sees this wise king! Why worry about Zhao's country being unable to dominate the princes?"

Cai Ze suddenly hesitated.

Or just stay in Zhao State?

After thinking about it, Cai Ze finally gritted his teeth and said fiercely: "Stop it, since I have already made plans, why should I look forward to it so far? Just go to Qin and make plans until the next day!"
