The Wei Kingdom was destroyed like this.

Li Jian was not in the mood to meet the King of Wei, but directly asked someone to take the King of Wei to Zhongmu City and imprison him.

Zhongmu City is very close to Handan, but it is located in the end of the mountain range on the southeast side of Taihang Mountain. It is an excellent place to detain.

The Wei State was divided into two counties, one was Dongjun, the county was Taoyi, and the second was Dangjun, which was in Daliang City.

Wei Wuji, the king of Xinling of Zhao State, was appointed as the governor of Dang County.

Someone in Zhao once put forward opinions on this.

"Wei Wuji is just a surrendered general. How could he be the county magistrate?"

Li Jian’s answer is very simple.

"Wei Wuji was a local. He was able to become a county magistrate to quell the rebellion of Wei as soon as possible and restore the ruling order of Wei."

Restoring the ruling order is a very important matter. The restoration of the ruling order means that the food production in this place can be self-sufficient, and can also provide the central government with military resources and taxes.

On the other hand, if the Wei territory has never been pacified, the central government of Zhao State would need to continue to invest troops and food resources to suppress the uprising here, which would be more than worth the loss.

As for whether Wei Wuji's appointment as the county magistrate would lead to the resurrection of Wei in the future, Li Jian was not worried at all.

Because the Zhao army was really strong, very strong, strong enough to easily suppress any uprisings of the Wei people.

This time, the war launched by Wei State ended at an astonishing speed.

All five countries sent troops, but only two countries were truly involved in the war.

Then the war ended, and five countries became four.

For Qin Qichu, this is definitely a problem that can shock them and digest them for a long time.

The Prime Minister of Qi State came, bringing gifts from a total of ten carriages.

As the saying goes, don’t hit the smiling person, let alone the smiling person brings so many gifts.

Li Jian was very polite to meet Hou Sheng, and also found Li Mu and Yu Xin to accompany him.

Hou Sheng was obviously flattered.

"Mr. Dingguo, the friendship between you and me is very long, but there are always some people maliciously slandering the friendship between the two countries behind their backs, which is very bad."

"What our king means is that he hopes that the king of Ding can marry us. Qi State is willing to marry a princess to the king of Ding as a concubine. I wonder what the king of Ding wants?"

After hearing Hou Sheng's words, both Li Mu and Yu Xin showed a look of surprise on their faces.

It is not uncommon for the king to marry the princess to the Lord.

But it is very rare for the king to marry the princess to Junhou as his concubine.

The son born to the concubine is a concubine's son. To put it bluntly, he does not have any inheritance rights.

This is considered a compromise on ordinary nobles. If you put it on the identity of King Qi, it will make you even more humble.

Li Jian smiled and refused without any hesitation.

"I'm not hiding it from my brother, although I like women, I don't like women without feelings."

"If I just want to find toys, there are so many beautiful dancers in Handan City, why should I find a miserable woman from Linzi City?"

Hou Sheng seemed not surprised by Li Jian's rejection, but just smiled and continued to drink.

There is a saying that is very good, it is impolite to come but not to go.

After three rounds of drinking, Li Jian took out a contract letter and handed it over to Housheng.

Hou Sheng looked closely and was immediately surprised.

"Dingguo, what do you mean..."

The content of this contract is actually very simple. It is Zhao State that takes out 10% of the profits of all textile shops in Qi State and gives it to Housheng from now on.

Li Jian smiled and said:

"What, do you think this money is too low?"

Hou Sheng shook his head repeatedly and said:

"Jun Ding Guojun was joking. It's something that fools know about how much money the textile industry is."

"Housheng just felt that he would not receive any reward without merit. The king of Ding suddenly gave Housheng these things. Housheng was really a little dissatisfied."

Li Jian nodded with a smile:

"I'm going to hide it from my brother, these are of course qualified."

After hearing what Li Jian said, Hou Sheng felt calm.

"Please tell the king directly."

Li Jian knocked on the table and pointed at Hou Sheng:

"I guess Brother Housheng also knows the story of Wei Wuji, the king of Xinling, right? I wonder if Brother Housheng will be interested in becoming the governor of Linzi County in our Zhao State in the future?"

This sentence was so direct and unconcealed that Hou Sheng was stunned for a while before reacting.

"Oh, the king of Ding is just a joke. What kind of virtue can you do after you win..."

Li Jian directly interrupted Hou Sheng's words.

"Of course I can't joke, Brother Housheng. Look at Yu Qing and General Li Mu are sitting here, they can testify for me."

Hou Sheng looked at Li Jian, and the smile on his face disappeared bit by bit.

After a while, I finally said:

"I will not hide it from the king's words that the king's mother is my own sister. How can I betray the king?"

Li Jian said:

"One-five."

Hou Sheng suddenly showed a struggle expression on his face, but he immediately said:

"Although Housheng is not talented, he is unwilling to be poked by the historian and bear the infamous for his previous life. He also asked the king to take it back."

Li Jian nodded and said:

"Twenty percent."

Housheng: "…"

After a long time, I finally said:

"What does Dingguo need me to do?"

Li Jiandao:

"I need Brother Housheng to help us destroy Qi as quickly as possible, and to incorporate Qi's territory into the ruling order of our Zhao State as quickly as possible after the demise of Qi State."

"If Brother Housheng can do these two things, 20% of the net profits of the three major industries of textile, salt and iron smelting in Qi in the future will be yours, and your family will be granted the title of marquis for generations to help us guard the land of Qi."

Hou Sheng listened to Li Jian's words, and an excited expression appeared on his fat face.

"Housheng understands that thanks to the king of Ding, Housheng will definitely do his best!"

The banquet ended happily.

After someone sent Housheng away, Li Jian left Li Mu and Yu Xin for tea.

Li Mu said in disbelief:

"Is this the winner so easy to be convinced?"

Yu Xin sighed and said:

"No, General, you misunderstood. Do you know what the profit figures in these three industries are in the year? Not to mention the victory later, if someone puts this number in front of me, Yu thought it would be very difficult to refuse."

Li Jian took a sip of tea, felt the tea slowly flowing into his stomach along his mouth, and smiled:

"Housheng is a greedy person. Then we only need to use huge wealth far beyond his imagination to tempt him, and he will naturally be fooled."

Li Mu couldn't help but say:

"Don't the King of Ding be worried that he won't do anything after collecting the money?"

Li Jian said with a smile:

"This money was originally made from the people of Qi. Even if Hou Sheng collects money and doesn't do anything, it actually has no effect on us."

"It's nothing more than that when conquering Qi in the future, it will take longer."

Li Mu shrugged his shoulders and stood up.

"You guys are so tired of calculating this and that all day long. I'd better go home honestly and take my wife and children."

Li Jian waved his hand and said:

"Remember to take good care of my sister and nephew."

Li Mu left, Yu Xin stayed, and took out a list and placed it in front of Li Jian.

"These are those who still have Zhao State in their hearts."
