Gu Xun reached out and handed the gold coin with intricate patterns to Chen He, "This will definitely be helpful to you."
Looking at the golden gold coins, Chen He could only take them without knowing why, "One gold coin..."
How does this thing help people solve the problem of difficult choices?
Could it be that it implies that everything is about money?
This is more in line with Gu Xun's consistent style in the past few years - you have to earn money from serious business, and you must also make money from extortion.
But that is already a thing of the past. In the past few years, I haven’t heard of Gu Xun, the national master, taking a cut from which family?
At this time, Gu Xun thoughtfully explained the usage of gold coins to Chen He:
"When you are undecided between two choices, flip the coin and let the heads and tails decide."
While Gu Xun demonstrated the action of tossing a coin, he reminded, "You can keep the coin I gave you. Its two sides are different."
The reason why I specifically explain this is because the gold coins of this era are not official currencies. They are basically cast by various major forces themselves. The weight is generally one gold, but the shapes and appearances are different, and some are indistinguishable.
Both sides.
Of course, there is no such thing as an official currency these days.
Although after Qin unified the world, Ying Zheng abolished all kinds of flashy bronze coins of the Six Kingdoms and replaced Qin Banliang with round square holes as the currency of circulation.
But!
The power of minting money is not in the hands of the imperial court. Anyone can make money. As long as you use enough materials, the people will recognize it.
Returning to the topic of the book, Chen He listened to Gu Xun's suggestion, subconsciously tossed the gold coin in his hand, and asked in doubt, "Sir's method... is to look at fate?"
This method is fast, but...it doesn't feel very reliable.
Gu Xun smiled and shook his head, and replied meaningfully, "What matters is not the actual result after it falls, but which side you want it to face up when you throw it up."
"Gold coins will not give you a decision, but you will."
After saying these words, Chen He couldn't help but lower his head and look at the gold coins in his palm.
Although he has not tried it, he feels that this method may be surprisingly effective.
Even Duan Murong and others on the side showed contemplative expressions, obviously understanding the profound meaning of the method Gu Xun copied from later generations.
"Now, you might as well try the method I mentioned. Do you want to agree to Xue Nu's invitation?" Gu Xun finally suggested to Chen He with a smile.
"..." Chen He still lowered his head, his eyes firmly fixed on the gold coins. After his eyes changed several times, he did not make any move to toss the coins, but nodded slowly and said in a deep voice, "I know.
Yes, thank you sir!"
"Haha!" Gu Xun patted his shoulder and grinned, "It seems that the decision I made for you is quite satisfactory to you."
………………
It was night, by the Jinghu Lake, Gu Xun was sitting on the ground by the lake, holding a small wine bottle in his hand, admiring the bright white moon on the sparkling lake, and sipping a drink.
Fine wine.
In the past, he would never behave like a young man like drinking alone in front of the moon. However, as he got older, his mentality has become much older, and occasionally he can't help but do some sentimental and unnecessary behaviors.
Sometimes I feel pity for the people of the empire, sometimes I secretly lament the carelessness of the two girls, and sometimes I talk about the women in the family who like to fight openly and secretly even at their age.
Of course, the biggest thing is actually...the fear of death.
That's right, Gu Xun is now more and more afraid of death.
But it wasn't his death...
When does the moon first appear on the bank of the river? When does the moon on the river shine on people?
Gu Xun doesn’t know when the moon will be seen at the beginning of the year, nor when it will shine on people. He only knows that for the rest of his life, the sun and moon may be the ones that will accompany him the longest.
Shasha...
Just when he was distracted and thinking about the future, he heard rustling footsteps behind him.
In the silent night, even the smallest sound will be amplified countless times, and Gu Xun immediately woke up from his trance.
He didn't look back, just took another sip of wine, and then asked with a smile:
"Still not asleep? You have to get up early tomorrow, right?"
Behind Gu Xun, the snow girl was wearing a long blue-purple dress that swayed slightly with the night wind, and the long streamers around her waist were dancing in the air.
Even if she didn't make any moves, the best dancer in the world, whose skills surpassed those of the Seven Kingdoms, was still so graceful and beautiful.
The snow girl did not answer Gu Xun's boring question, and her bright eyes were slightly lowered, staring at Gu Xun's back.
"Weizhuang's attack on Yizhuang means that the quicksand will completely turn against the Mohist family, right?"
During the day, Xue Nu behaved calmly when Gu Xun gave the news. She seemed to be just troubled by Wei Zhuang's strength, and did not think there was any deeper meaning behind it.
However, a wise man once said that the more beautiful a woman is, the more likely she is to lie.
The snow girl's actual mood is far from as relaxed as she looks.
For Xue Nu, who had just recently had the idea that Gu Xun might be able to ease the relationship with the Mo family, Wei Zhuang's behavior was like a bolt from the blue, shattering her newly acquired fantasy.
This feeling is similar to having a dream crushed by someone. It’s very uncomfortable to think about it.
It was precisely because Gu Xun guessed that the snow girl would not be calm that he went to the edge of the island to admire the moon at night.
Not only enjoying the scenery and drinking, but also waiting for the visitors who may come to him.
At this time, facing Xue Nu's question, Gu Xun was not surprised. He looked at the moon shadow cast by the lake and sky in the distance with a calm face, and replied softly, "Strictly speaking, Wei Zhuang's current behavior and Liusha's attitude
It doesn’t matter.”
"He is just taking money to do things and complete the empire's tasks. As the founding elder of Liusha, it is understandable that he mobilized Liusha's manpower in this process."
These first two sentences sounded like she was denying Yuki Ono's suspicion, but she didn't show any joy.
When Gu Xun speaks like this, it often means there will be a turning point later.
As expected, Gu Xun then continued, "But from a practical point of view, it is not wrong for you to think so."
"Why?" Maybe it was during the long-awaited reunion in Longxi that Xue Nu had already vented the accumulated anger and dissatisfaction in her heart. At this time, her mood was not exciting, and her tone was very stable, "Because the Mohists opposed the rule of the empire?" p>
Gu Xun shook his head simply, "That's not the reason."
"If it is other remnants of the Six Kingdoms such as the Xiang clan, I do plan to deal with them for this reason."
Of course, even if it is applied to the remnants of the Six Kingdoms, the reason for opposing the empire's rule is not comprehensive. To be precise, it should be: because they oppose the empire's rule and want to change it to their own rule.
Opposing the imperial court is not only the behavior of these people, but also their purpose.
Ying Zheng was the emperor and they wanted to rebel. Ying Zheng was no longer the emperor, but they still wanted to rebel. Even if the Qin Dynasty did not rule the world, they would oppose the new dynasty.
