After Li Guan saw the unshaven, seemingly tired student leave, he turned around and walked back to the palace where he lived temporarily, following his memories. It was a summer night, and the sultry heat of the day had finally receded, and the starry sky was vast.

The night breeze is cool.

Li Guanyi became a little worried, worried that Mr. Wen He would leave.

At this moment, he was gradually waking up from drunkenness. He used the movement technique created by Murong Longtu, the sword maniac, and swept towards his palace like a sharp sword unsheathed. When he returned, the Qilin Army's cavalry were guarding outside. They all saluted, and Li Guan nodded in response.

, and then walked in quickly.

He had some regrets.

In Li Guanyi's perception, Wen He was not found. When he asked Ling Pingyang, Ling Pingyang replied: "That gentleman has left."

Li Guanyi smiled bitterly, but was impressed and said: "As expected of him."

"It seems that we are not on the same journey."

"I just feel a little sorry for Yuan Zhi and the others' entrustment."

He did not feel annoyed or disgusted because Wen He chose to leave. He just sighed that people in the world may not necessarily be able to travel together when they come and go, but Ling Pingyang had a strange look on his face.

"Pingyang, what's wrong?"

"It seems like you have something to say."

A leisurely voice came: "He wants to say that Mr. I just went out for a walk. It doesn't mean that he will never come back. It's just that there are some things." Li Guan was overjoyed. He turned around and saw a car at the side door.

The carriage was driven in.

The person driving the car was none other than Wen He and Wen Qingyu.

The young man with an ordinary and simple face smiled: "I just went out to solve a problem for my lord. It can be regarded as my certificate of surrender."

Li Guanyi asked in confusion: "What?"

Ling Pingyang said: "This matter will be explained later."

"Do you still remember the various aristocratic families who came here hoping to meet you before we left? Some of them brought their daughters, and some came alone, but they all brought greeting cards."

"Mr. Wenhe was the one who handled this matter just now."

After Ling Pingyang explained, Li Guanyi realized that Wen He felt it was a waste and simply accepted the invitation on behalf of the lord Li Guanyi in the name of a newly recruited counselor of the Qilin Army, and then went to have a look around.

Li Guanyi said: "Wen He, you didn't do anything extraordinary, right?"

Wen He said: "Of course not."

"I just think that if these aristocratic families come to send greetings, you don't have to leave them alone. I know that my lord, you most likely look down on them, but in this case, the best way to deal with it is not to ignore them.

"

Wen He smiled and said: "Anyway, they are just taking advantage of you and fearing you. With the current situation in the world, it is difficult for you to have a chance to come back again. Even if you come back to the number one capital in the world, you will not be able to do it."

It’s so peaceful and harmonious now.”

"The next time you come, what you see in front of you most likely will not be the invitation from a noble family or the warm and fragrant jade from the daughter of a nobleman in the capital, but the edge of iron and fire. In this case, there is no need to pay attention to what happens next.

Already."

"The nobles and aristocratic families in Zhongzhou are just bones in the graves."

"But you still want to pretend to be as grand as before. Such a good thing was extended in front of you, but you ignored it. I really couldn't bear it, so I went in your place. Don't worry, it's only in line with etiquette and rules.

Just chatting."

Wen He showed an innocent smile.

Ling Pingyang, who had always been upright, frowned slightly, and Li Guanyi also asked casually: "Aristocratic family? I am indeed not good at getting along with these people. So, Mr. Wenhe, have you gained anything?"

He has no concept of these yet.

Wen He smiled and stretched out his hand to open the car curtain.

The light of gold and silver jewelry reflected the young man's eyes.

Wen He smiled and said:

"In a land with a radius of thousands of miles, Zhongzhou houses aristocratic families of all sizes."

"I invited them all to drink tea. They competed with each other to be the first to give gifts to the Lord. As if they were afraid of losing to others, they gave many things, including books, property, jades, and many gold and silver utensils.

, Qingyu took a little inventory and found that the big families in Zhongzhou are indeed poorer."

Li Guanyi was stunned.

Wen He smiled: "About eight hundred thousand taels of silver."

Li Guan took a big step forward, grabbed Wen He's hand, and shook it vigorously.

"Sir! Great talent!"

The simple scribe in the eyes of the young monarch exuded a golden light.

While his lord was wandering around and drinking like a street gangster, Mr. Wenhe dug out a total of 800,000 taels of silver from the place he had neglected. Dai Qing had asked him to come here before, at least to get some money.

Go back and get a million taels of silver.

Now the food expenses for two months are more than 80,000 taels a month and 160,000 taels for two months.

Plus these things Wen He created.

There are almost one million taels of silver!

The internal affairs tasks from the Jiangnan area have been completed.

In Li Guanyi's eyes, Wen He's head was almost shining with dazzling light. Wen He smiled and said: "However, since we want to transport the silver back, it would be a bit of a loss to transport only gold and silver. Since we are in this land of Zhongzhou,

It’s better to purchase what Jiangnan needs.”

"Then go down the river basin. Now there are many wastes waiting to be renovated. These are more important than simple gold and silver, as well as the scrolls and utensils in Zhongzhou. Since the Lord wants to spread the literary movement, it is best to prepare pens, inks, papers and inkstones in advance.

."

"In addition, I also hired... I also hired a group of craftsmen."

Wen He smiled and said: "Zhongzhou has been a prosperous place since ancient times. It is an important town in the capital and has various schools. The most advanced craftsmen have gathered here. However, now Zhongzhou has heavy taxes and many craftsmen live in poverty. I say Qin Wuhou

Hire craftsmen.”

"Give them good treatment and invite them to do some work."

"Many people came, including many potters and blacksmiths."

"It is a pity that the power of the Mo family and the Murong family should be used for people's livelihood."

"At that time, the lord will take them directly down by boat. These people can also help carry the purchased goods, saving a lot of expenses. They can also use these outstanding craftsmen to fill the shortcomings of the Jiangnan land. It kills two birds with one stone, and also

You can save some money.”

"Huh? Why do you two look at me like this?"

Ling Pingyang hesitated for a moment and said, "Is the family giving money so readily?"

"How did you convince so many craftsmen?"

Wen He smiled and said:

"Well..."

He said matter-of-factly: "I am a gentle gentleman, and I can certainly persuade others."

Seeing the suspicious looks in their eyes, he remained calm, paused, and replied softly: "Because the powerful people in Zhongzhou are as fierce as tigers, even if it is an invitation that is like a dream, they will struggle to survive."

"I didn't do anything, I just followed the will of the people."

"What is powerful is not strategy, but momentum."

"It's also what the lord has to do."

Wen He bowed calmly and said: "The princes and families in the world use their majesty, but the Lord should be benevolent; the princes in the world are violent, but the Lord should be peaceful. And the princes in the world are above the people and support themselves with the blood of the people, and the Lord

Then walk with the people.”

"This is the rule of change in people's hearts."

"For such a long time, people from all over the world have flocked to us. This is the strategy proposed by Wen He. The third force that is different from the [great justice] and [military force], although it cannot be seen with the eyes, is real and huge."

"It's what people want."

"Ordinary people know the people's will, but they don't know how to follow it and how to go against it. How to make profits by going with it, and how to stir up trouble if you go against it. Most of the aristocratic families and officials only have a partial understanding of it."

"The trend of people's hearts is a part of the changes in the world."

"Those who go against this change will perish, and those who comply with the people's will will rise."

Under the moonlight, the counselor raised his eyes slightly, his eyes were calm and peaceful, giving his simple face an indescribable calmness, and said: "May my lord, take the people as the force, and move in line with the world."

Li Guanyi and Ling Pingyang looked at the young counselor in front of them who made a big splash in the world with small things. Li Guanyi was suddenly curious about the world under the eyes of this simple counselor, and the appearance that was recognized as the number one in "self-seeking".

His true appearance.

Among all the counselors he saw, Po Jun planned the world with his military power and invaded like fire; Wen Lingjun dominated the situation with orthodoxy and righteousness. The person in front of him was the third top counselor with a strategic vision.

Taking the people's hearts as the vanguard, we follow the trend and set off a raging wave.
