Chapter 62 062: Having a full meal (thanks to the cute main character Gao Mei +7)
The two of them sang together and convinced Gong Shuwu.
Zhai Le waited for them to finish speaking before speaking: "Let me tell you, Brother Shen, you might as well find a way to leave the northwest and go to the southeast."
Shen Tang asked: "Go to the southeast? Southeast? Fighting?”
I thought Zhai Lehui said something like "the situation in the southeastern countries is stable", but he opened his mouth and said: "Fight, why not fight? Are there still vassal states that are not at war? But there is one thing in the southeast that is better than the northwest. There will be no drought.”
Qishan didn't even bother to raise his eyelids after hearing this. He laughed: "It is true that the southeastern countries have a lot of rain, and it is true that droughts will not occur, but floods will occur. Some floods are natural disasters that cannot be resisted by manpower, while some floods are man-made. River The princely states on the upper reaches of the river controlled the water veins and cut off the river before the rainy season, causing drought in the lower reaches. When the rainy season came, they released floods to ensure the stability of the upper reaches..."
There are more tricks to take advantage of the geographical advantages.
As far as he knows, the secret to getting rich in a vassal country is "selling water." If the vassal states in the lower reaches of the river were disobedient and did not pay the annual coins, their water sources would be cut off. If they did not cooperate, they would flood the small vassal state with floods and collect "protection fees" to enrich the national treasury.
Because he went too far and made people angry, he was united by the princes in the lower reaches of the tributary to attack and destroy him.
The situation is similar everywhere in the mainland.
Qi Shan would rather squat in the northwest than run to the southeast.
The most important thing is-
He is a landlubber and hates water!
Zhai Le pursed his lips, seemingly frustrated that he had not sold Amway. But after a second thought, I can understand that a golden nest and a silver nest are not as good as one's own doghouse. He was born in the southeastern border. He has good water skills and talent. He is a good hunter and fisher and has never suffered much.
No matter how chaotic the motherland is, it is better than anywhere else.
Mr. Qi Shan must have the same idea.
Zhai Le still refused to give up and continued to persuade: "Even if he refuses to go south, the Geng Kingdom is not safe. Either go to a vassal state with a relatively stable political situation, or simply live in hiding and stay away from the war... Brother said After that, the remaining national destiny of the Geng Kingdom will be at least five years."
Qishan's brows moved: "Your brother?"
"We are cousins from the same clan, and we are similar in age. They have been together since childhood and are like brothers. He is so powerful that he plans to become an official after this trip. He also said that Zheng Qiao, the leader of the Geng Kingdom, is a narrow-minded person with a low temper and a big ambition. , Ten Crow Tigers and Leopards, if he dares to seek skin from a tiger, his body will be destroyed. I think he is right..."
Qishan used his peripheral vision to pay attention to Gong Shuwu's expression.
Seeing that he seemed to be distracted but was actually focused on the conversation, he said: "Your brother is quite right about Zheng Qiao. This person has little virtue, no respect, little intelligence, and a narrow mind. He will retaliate for his anger. Indeed, there is no such thing." "The appearance of Mingzhu."
"From Mr.'s point of view, what is Mingzhu?"
Gong Shuwu, who had always been silent, suddenly spoke.
"Is he a king who has made outstanding achievements and opened up new territories?"
Qi Shan did not answer but turned around and asked Shen Tang.
"What do Mr. Shen Xiaolang think?"
Shen Tang, who was suddenly named: "Ask me???"
Qishan: "Yes, ask you."
She He replied casually: "People have only one mouth to talk about. I think it is wise to make the people fed, clothed and live a stable life." Well. If you have enough food and clothing, you will know the honor and disgrace. If the people live a prosperous life and have enough food, the people will be stable, and the political situation will be clear. Isn’t this the effect of hard work? br>
Gong Shuwu: “…”
Qishan: "..."
Shen Tang felt uncomfortable being stared at by the two.
He then bit the bullet and said: "Whether it is the expansion of territory or outstanding achievements, martial arts is very beautiful to the monarch, but how much benefit can the people receive? Not only is there no benefit, in order to raise military expenses, the court also Taxes will be increased, which will eventually fall on them. If you collect more taxes for military expenses, they will be hungry, and they will even starve to death. Look, how many of the survivors will miss their homeland after the Xin Kingdom is destroyed?"
If the Geng Kingdom is destroyed in the future, the people will still be like this.
Maybe they will also raise it and take a sip to celebrate that the tyrant above their heads has finally burped and they can take a breather.
Gong Shuwu didn't speak, and Zhai Le didn't speak either.
Qishan shook his head: "The way of the world is not applicable today."
For example, Shen Xiaolangjun's "The Way of the Princes".
Other princes use the "Way of the Princes" to recruit talents, recruit talents, recruit troops and horses, but Shen Xiaolangjun focuses on "farming". No matter how good the fields are and how many granaries there are, what's the use if you can't keep them? It is not attractive to talents and does not benefit them. Food is something that can be snatched with force.
"Yuan Liang is right, as the saying goes - if you don't plant guns in the field, your home will become a granary; if you don't plant guns in the fields, everything will become a granary. How can the food grown in your own field be as fragrant as that of other people's granaries?" Shen Tang considered. Express understanding of the current situation.
But——
Why do adults have to choose?
Of course both guns and fields are required.
Never mind me, the Heavenly King, let’s feed my stomach first.
Shen Tang: "If I were to find a job with any prince in the future, I would definitely not consider those with arrears of salary and low remuneration."
The purpose of working is to have enough to eat.
If you don’t talk about ideals, let’s talk about belly.
If a boss can ensure the normal operation of the company, pay wages on time, give salary increases, do not feed chicken soup indiscriminately, will not pay lip service to what he actually delivers, and pay as much as he needs to work, so that employees can afford it. If you have a whole family, you can be considered a good boss.
Not to mention 996, 007 can do it.
"Do you want to become a career official?" Qishan's eyes darkened a little.
Shen Tang: "..."
Inexplicably, I feel that this question should be answered carefully.
She shook her head and said: "That's what I'm saying. Why do you work for others when you have nothing to do? It's not that I don't have enough to eat..."
In this era, work well. You may not be able to get a promotion or a salary increase, but if you don't do it well, you will definitely lose your whole family.
The effort is not proportional to the benefit.
It is not a good choice to start a business with others, it is better to go solo.
She can also use her spirit to conjure food.
Maybe she can't help others, but she herself won't starve to death.
Qi Shan’s expression softened slightly.
"That's good."
Shen Tang looked at him in confusion: "...what's good?"
"It's good to work hard to eat enough."
Feeding not just one person, but tens of thousands of people.
Perhaps the "Way of the Princes" related to "farming" can also find a broad road. This is a road that has never been walked before. If you don’t walk on it, how will you know that it really doesn’t work?
Shen Tang: "???"
Although she didn't quite understand what was brewing in Qi Yuanliang's belly, her intuition told her that it wasn't a bad thing, so she ignored it.
Gong Shuwu on the side looked at Qi Shan and then at Shen Tang, vaguely aware of something, but felt that his guess was absurd.
The bonfire will be extinguished and the night will end before dawn.
The cultivation is almost complete, and the group is ready to enter the city.
Shen Tang, Zhai Le and Qi Shan were okay, but Gong Shuwu was really eye-catching. At dawn, when Gong Shuwu stood up, Shen Tang discovered that this strong man was actually close to two meters tall. He was tall and strong, with wide shoulders and narrow waist, and strong muscles in his limbs. One person was as strong as two of her!
Stand out from the crowd and can be recognized at a glance when thrown into the crowd.
Chapter 3, this chapter was not written smoothly, but it was necessary.
The national seal in Gong Shuwu’s hands naturally has to be handed over to Tang Mei personally and willingly in the later part of the plot. There is no rush.
