If you step by step, you will become the food in the eagle's mouth... Read the latest and most complete novel

In fact, the falcons who are on the mission of sending letters have long lost their love for ordinary birds. How can this thing be compared to beef and mutton marinated with sake? Not only is it delicious, but it is quite excited after eating it. It is warm all over. It will not feel cold in the air and it will not affect its eyesight. When flying at an altitude of one or two thousand meters, you can still see the red flags on the ground at a glance. The gray-backed falcon let out an excited eagle cry, and its wings and foot fell down. It was caught by the young master waiting here excitedly. First, feed a large piece of mutton to it, and then quickly remove the Feixin from the bamboo tube on its feet.

"This is the eighteenth Feishu today. I'll send it to the 'Lanbo Pavilion'. Dean Bai is waiting!"

The young master shook his hand and threw out the letter. Someone immediately took it in his hand and quickly sent it to the pavilion on the lake. Now training the flying eagle and passing the flying eagle are also one of the miscellaneous courses in the academy, and it is also a compulsory course. Every student must master this skill to obtain the required credits. Bai Dang, the one who just waved the little red flag to attract the flying eagle. This kid is enjoying learning this course, and he wished he could raise one by himself to play. He came to the young master and whispered: "Brother Shaoguan, what's wrong with this today? In just half a day, there were eighteen flying eagles sending messages? I just saw the marks on the eagle, and the farthest one is from Bashu. Did we also set up an eagle station in Bashu? And. Dean Bai and the man named Sun Bin sat in the pavilion early in the morning to drink tea, eat snacks and read these flying books. The dean's wife was there, what happened?"

"Shut up, don't ask what you shouldn't ask. Are you a student of Fengming Academy on the first day?" The young master glared at the boy fiercely, wanting to kick him up his butt. Suddenly, he heard the sound of eagles cries in the air again, which was even louder than before. He was shocked: "Good guy. He only has a green back! Such a big green back is rare. Shu Cheng, who is less than five thousand miles away, should he be punished with such an eagle. Could it be that Chu Di came to Feishu? Get in touch!"

***

The weather in April is far from warm, and drinking tea in the pavilion is a tone that only petty bourgeoisie likes. However, Sun Bin enjoys this feeling very much. The fresh water vapor that rises from time to time on the lake will make him recall his days in the mountains. The Bai family tea is bitter first and then sweet, much like herbs cooked by his mentor.

Bai Dong and him were drinking tea with him cups, while he sat aside with a bitter wine reading the flying books he sent. When he heard that even the price of salt in Bashu, which was far away in the southwest, had dropped to 500 coins per stone, Sun Bin couldn't sit still. His mentor said that the first thing to do for war is to cultivate qi is the most important skill, and he was considered a person who had cultivated qi for many years. However, he was shocked by such a low price of salt.

Qingxi produces everything and can almost be self-sufficient, but it just doesn't produce salt. When he was in Qingxi, he went down the mountain to buy salt. At that time, he bought the Qi green salt, which was said to be the best, but it was much worse than the fine salt of Wei. It costs about 800 yuan per stone. Whether it is the round money of Qin or the cloth coins and knives commonly used by Shandong countries, it is almost the same price. He learned from military strategists, so he naturally knew what the salt price and grain price mean if there was a huge change. This is not a joke. Once the salt price moves, no matter whether it rises or falls, it will probably cause military affairs! What's more, this time I went to Wei to meet Senior Brother Juan, and he also knew that Wei was almost mobilizing the whole country to produce fine salt; Wei was no longer the old Qin, which was far away in the Western Han Dynasty. If the economy of Wei was in chaos, the surrounding countries would suffer.

Sun Bin took a deep breath, put down the teacup, looked up at Bai Dong; he remembered Bai Dong's new bet with him, but never expected Bai Dong to start with the economy of Wei, and even more so that the junior brother Bai had such a scheming and such means, and he had already made a secret arrangement and plotted against Wei. He did not doubt the authenticity of these flying books. He was a great disciple of Guigu, if Bai Zi of Qin was a fake in such a thing, would he be shameless?

"Haha, it seems that my senior brother has obtained the true teachings of his mentor and knows the truth about economics in military affairs."

Bai Dong chuckled and put down the teacup in his hand and looked at Sun Bin: "Senior Brother thought, what will happen to Wei Guo when the price of salt falls sharply? By the way, it's just the beginning. In a few days, the price of refined salt in Wei Guo will drop by 80%, and even the basic sea salt will drop by at least 50%..."

Sun Bin's face twitched a few times: "How did you do it?"

"The salt trade base is actually a huge trading market. When salt merchants get used to trading in it, it can affect the salt price. Although the salt price will eventually be attributed to the real supply relationship, Wei Ying is too crazy. He devoted all the efforts of the whole country to produce too much salt. He actually consumed the basic sea salt that Yanqi had stored for five years in just half a year, and bought all the sea salt that the two countries had stored for ten years. With such a crazy move, how can the salt price not fall?"

"It should fall, but it should not fall so quickly. It is normal for things worth a hundred coins to double when they arrive in the land, unless someone has already stocked up a large amount of salt in Bashu, Chu, and other countries that lack salt in salt, and have to stir up troubles in the trading market to lower the salt prices so quickly..."

Sun Bin is just in front of Pang Juan and becomes stupid from time to time. In fact, he has a very high IQ; and it is impossible for a soldier to not understand the economy. Although the big market created by Bai Dong is new, it is not difficult for him to understand.

"Senior Brother Sun is a military strategist, and he didn't expect that he could be economical?"

Bai Dong nodded with satisfaction: "Senior Brother is right, but this is not called making trouble, but using economic means to suppress opponents. The so-called "super-in-arms and attacks" is a kind of attack. I spent half a year preparing for this, otherwise how dare I bet with my senior brother again, boasting that it would make Wei sad without a soldier? Senior Brother, you lost this time, but you have to keep your promise and stay in Qin for half a year. Of course, if Old Qin cannot satisfy his senior brother in half a year, I will keep my promise and send my senior brother away."

"I just came out of the mountain and did not establish a merit. Do you really value my senior brother so much?"

Sun Bin glanced at Bai Dong. Although the youngest brother's method of accusing him of Qin was not bright, it further showed his attention to him, which made him quite moved. If it weren't for Senior Brother Juan in Wei, he might have agreed to stay in Qin. After all, Bai Dong is also a disciple of Qingxi, not an outsider: "Don't worry, Senior Brother, I am also a person who will do what he says. I will not rebel and regret it, but you will not win."

"Oh? Bai Dong hopes to hear the high opinion of Senior Brother."

"You are not a military strategist, and it is understandable that the greatest wealth in the world is the army. However, since your junior brother is an important minister of Qin, don't you know that the last 'national principal' in the world will not be used easily? Unless you encounter a great disaster or face the danger of destruction of the country, all the money is stored in the depositary, which should account for 10% of the national treasury! Wei is a powerful country in the world. Just this total treasury is worth the entire treasury of Qin? So even if the salt price drops sharply and the economy of Wei is affected, Wei will not be in chaos, let alone taste any pain. Junior brother, you have a clever method, but unfortunately you are still too young..."

"Senior brother said I'm young?"

If it weren't for the fact that Sun Bin, the innocent young master who had been kidnapped, wouldn't be cheated by Pang Juan until he died. Now seeing him seriously teaching him to be too young, Bai Dong was so angry that he could only help but laugh: "So Senior Brother Juan is not young anymore? With him in Wei State, are you still afraid that the King of Wei will not use the capital of the country?"

"You have colluded with Senior Brother Juan to harm the State of Wei? No, Senior Brother Juan wants to be the number one general in the world. Today, only Wei can help him fulfill his wish, so how could he harm the State of Wei... Could it be because of Hui Shi and Gongzi Ang!" Sun Bin was finally smart and suddenly figured out the key.

"Senior brother also said that the greatest wealth in the world is the army. When the Quanrong used war to raise the war, he forced the Zhou king to move the capital eastward. What's more, the Wei Kingdom is still ten or a hundred times that of the Quanrong? The Wei Kingdom now has 400,000 Wei Wushu. They do not work in production and only practice wars every day. Even their parents, wives and daughters have rations issued by the state. These soldiers are the ideal army of the senior brother? But these 400,000 Wei Wushu have eaten more than half of the taxes of Wei Kingdom! When the Wei Kingdom's economy is stable, they can naturally support them. Once the economy collapses, what will happen?"

Sun Bin looked at Bai Dong for a long time: "Junior brother, you are so poisonous! Once the economy of Wei collapses, it will only reduce the number of military soldiers. Otherwise, you will have to use troops to fight other countries to grab money! The King of Wei is determined to dominate the King of Xiang, so he naturally refuses to give up the army, so he must start a war, which is exactly what Brother Juan wants."

Bai Dong laughed: "That's true, so as long as I reveal some plans to Senior Brother Juan, he will help me persuade the King of Wei to use the capital of the country, because the more the Wei economy collapses, the bigger the battle will be, which is exactly what he wants. Senior Brother is also a military strategist. Let's talk about it, if Wei is deploying troops at this time, will it suffer?"

"The country is poor and fight to support the war is like attacking the enemy by the water. If you cannot win, you will be defeated. The master said that although the State of Wei is strong, it is in the four battles. This is a big problem. Although Senior Brother Juan is a great military talent, he likes to bully the weak the most, and never takes his opponent seriously. If he provokes too many countries, he is afraid that the State of Wei will suffer..."

"Senior brother really knows Senior Brother Juan best. If Wei Kingdom suffers, Senior Brother will lose to me." Bai Dong laughed: "Chengrang Chengrang, I won another game."

"The war has not yet begun, everything is still unknown. You may not be able to succeed with your 'strike'... Slowly, the 'strike' is recorded in "The Art of War". My mentor only passed on me. Where did you hear it from?"

Sun Bin suddenly widened his eyes, looking at Bai Dong like a ghost.

"Uh, yes, how did I know?" Bai Dong was stunned. He was too proud, why did he miss it?"
