Muchuan nodded and said, "Brother Xuance, I am quite interested in the plan you mentioned."
Hearing this, Wang Xuance couldn't help but feel a little excited.
He comes from a humble background and has never received any appreciation. Now that his plan has a chance to be adopted, this is his biggest chance to serve the country.
However, Muchuan's next words made Wang Xuanzhi feel slightly chilled.
"It's just that your plan is quite vicious. I'm afraid the Confucian officials in the imperial court won't agree to it."
Indeed, the plan proposed by Wang Xuance seems a bit cold and should not be done by a big country.
Wang Xuance couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: "My lord is absolutely right, my subordinates think too simply."
"You don't have to lose heart."
Muchuan narrowed his eyes slightly, carefully observed the changes in Wang Xuance's facial expression, and said: "Although the imperial court will definitely not adopt it, I have the idea of implementing it."
As soon as these words came out, Wang Xuance was stunned for a moment, and a flash of shock flashed in his eyes.
"What do you mean, sir?"
"I want to set up a base here in Baekje. Brother Xuance must have heard about the financial resources of our Mu family, so there is no need to worry about the size of the base."
"In this way, Brother Xuance's plan can still be implemented, but we will have to make some changes."
Hearing this, Wang Xuance couldn't help but swallowed his saliva and said: "Sir, are you planning to cross His Majesty's side?"
Muchuan's expression changed, he stood up, hugged his fists towards Datang's position, and said righteously: "As a minister, I must try my best to relieve His Majesty's worries."
"Your Majesty may not be able to decide next time because of his face, but I and other ministers must work hard for the Tang Dynasty even if they are burdened with countless infamy!"
Muchuan's acting and speaking skills were so exaggerated. Just listening to Wang Xuance became doubly excited and even his body trembled slightly.
"Your Excellency's loyalty is rare in ancient times and modern times!"
Wang Xuance couldn't help but knelt down and said: "I, Wang Xuance, am willing to serve you. It doesn't matter if the chief secretary doesn't do this, I am willing to contribute to your plan!"
Seeing that Wang Xuance fell into the trap immediately, Muchuan felt a little surprised.
He had prepared many means, but he didn't expect that they would all be useless this time.
Muchuan quickly helped Wang Xuance up and said excitedly: "Okay, okay! If Brother Xuance helps us, we will definitely be able to expand the territory of the Tang Dynasty!"
After that, Muchuan discussed the specific planning guidelines with Wang Xuance.
Although this plan sounds simple, it is still quite difficult to implement.
After some discussion, the two of them roughly came up with a preliminary detailed plan.
But all this had to be carried out after sending troops from Tang Dynasty to Goguryeo.
After all, with Goguryeo now a big country that is stronger than both countries, there is no possibility for Baekje and Silla to go to war with each other.
This is like the Three Kingdoms of Wei, Wu and Shu in the late Han Dynasty.
No matter how big the personal grudges were between Wu and Shu, they could only unite to fight against Wei due to pressure from Wei.
In short, the seeds have been planted and all it takes is waiting for the right time to germinate.
Being bored, Muchuan wandered around Sixian City.
Although he said he was just wandering around, Muchuan also wanted to see if he could get a mission out of it.
After being baptized by so many tasks, Muchuan almost understood it.
The rules of tasks given by the system are quite disordered, but they generally have one characteristic, which is conflict.
Once a conflict occurs, tasks will most likely appear.
For Muchuan, now he dreams of having a mission to do.
After all, everything rewarded by the mission is enough to transform Muchuan.
With this idea in mind, Muchuan deliberately moved toward crowded places while wandering around the street.
The more people there are, the more likely conflicts will occur.
Seeing a group of people forming a circle in front of him, Muchuan hesitated for a moment and then approached.
It has been half a day since he left home. Muchuan went from being excited at the beginning to feeling bored now.
After working for a long time, Mao's task did not show up, which still made Muchuan a little frustrated.
This time, Muchuan didn't think there would be a mission.
After squeezing into the crowd, Muchuan finally saw what happened.
An old man with a vicissitudes of life standing next to him was a skinny child, about eight or nine years old.
The child's face was quite dirty and his appearance was completely unrecognizable. His clothes were in tatters and his head was a mess.
It's just that the straw stuck in the hair is quite eye-catching.
Muchuan instantly understood that he was selling children.
In ancient times, many poor people did not have enough to eat or clothing to keep warm, and they could not even feed their children.
In order to prevent the whole family from starving to death, some poor people went to the streets to sell their children.
This kind of thing was also very common in some places in the Tang Dynasty. Unexpectedly, Baekje also learned from it.
Muchuan couldn't understand what the old man was saying all the time, so he could only ask the interpreter who was following him.
"Sir, this old man said that his whole family has fallen ill and is in urgent need of money for treatment."
Hearing this, Muchuan nodded and couldn't help but asked curiously: "Is the slave business in Baekje so bad?"
It can be seen that this old man seems to have been shouting for a long time, but still no one cares.
The translator smiled bitterly and said: "Sir, you don't know something. This old man's price is really high. He is a child and has little energy. Almost no one will spend this wasted money."
It turns out that after Muchuan learned about the situation, he planned to leave.
Selling children is a common phenomenon in this era, and he has no idea that the road will never be smooth.
Even if he can help this one person, looking at the whole world, how much can he help?
Just when he was about to leave, the old man suddenly saw Muchuan, but he crawled over and hugged Muchuan's feet, pleading.
The translator turned pale with fright, and kicked the old man in the face angrily.
Just kidding, he was specially sent by the King of Baekje to follow Muchuan, how could he let this happen?
"Wait a minute, what is he talking about?"
Muchuan frowned slightly, but was not too angry.
"My lord, he begs you to buy his child."
Muchuan couldn't help but shook his head, "That's okay, you can take out some money and reward him."
The translator was stunned for a moment, and although he was reluctant, he could only do as he was told.
"Take the money and get out of here. If you dare to disturb this gentleman again, your whole family will die."
The translator threw down a handful of money and said coldly to the old man.
The old man looked ecstatic, ignoring the dust on the ground, and quickly hugged the money tightly in his arms.
The crowd of onlookers also dispersed in a hurry at this moment.
They could tell that this well-dressed man was not an ordinary person and they did not dare to mess with him.
Just as Muchuan was about to leave, a series of very light footsteps suddenly caught up with him.
"You kid, are you looking for death?"
Seeing the child standing in front of Muchuan, the translator was furious and drew his sword, intending to kill him.
For him, no matter whether it was a child or anything else, as long as he dared to block Muchuan's way, he would have to kill him.
"etc!"
Muchuan was stunned for a moment and quickly swatted away the sword that the translator was about to swing.
