062: Have a full meal (thank you to the cute main girl +7)
The two sang and harmoniously moved Gong Shuwu.
Zhai Le waited for them to finish speaking before he spoke: "If you ask me, Brother Shen, you might as well find a way to leave the northwest and go to the southeast."
Shen Tang asked: "Going to the southeast? There is no war in the southeast?"
I thought Zhai Le would say something like "the situation in the southeastern countries is stable", but unexpectedly he opened his mouth and said: "Fight, why not fight? Are there any vassal states that are not at war now? But the southeast is better than the northwest. There won’t be droughts there every now and then.”
Qishan didn't even bother to raise his eyelids when he heard 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. The princely states in the upper reaches of the river control the water veins and cut off the river before the rainy season, causing drought in the lower reaches. When the rainy season comes, they release water to ensure stability in the upper reaches..."
There are more tricks that take advantage of geographical advantages.
As far as he knew, there was a vassal state whose secret to getting rich was "selling water." If the vassal states in the lower reaches of the river were disobedient and did not pay the annual coins, they would cut off the water source. If they continued not to cooperate, they would release floods and flood the small vassal state. Collecting "protection fees" enriches the national treasury.
Because he really went too far and made people angry, the princes in the lower reaches of the tributary united to attack him and destroyed him.
The situation is similar everywhere in mainland China.
Qi Shan would rather squat in the northwest than run to the southeast.
the most important is--
He is a landlubber and hates water!
Zhai Le pursed his lips, as if he was frustrated that Amway had not been sold. But after thinking about it, he could understand that a golden nest and a silver nest were not as good as his own doghouse. He was born in the southeastern border since he was a child. He has good water skills and good talents for hunting and fishing. He is a good player and has never suffered anything.
No matter how chaotic the motherland is, it is still better than elsewhere.
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 away from the world and stay away from the war... Brother once said that the remaining national destiny of the Geng Kingdom Five years at most.”
Qishan's brows moved: "Your brother?"
"Cousins from the same clan, we are about the same age. We have played together since we were young, and we are better than 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 temperament. He is a disciple with high eyesight but low hand but big ambition. There are jackals and tigers and leopards in the northern desert. If he dares to seek skin from a tiger, his body will be destroyed. I think he is right..."
Please use your 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 definitely retaliate for his anger. Indeed, there is no such thing." Understand the appearance of the Lord."
"From your perspective, sir, 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 was suddenly called: "Ask me???"
Qi Shan: "Yes, let me ask you."
She replied casually: "You have a mouth to live. I think it is wise to make the people well-fed, clothed, and live a stable life. A well-stocked warehouse shows etiquette, and having enough food and clothing shows honor and disgrace. The people live a prosperous life, have plenty of food in their hands, and have a stable heart. Naturally, the country will also be stable and the political situation will be clear and clear. Master Ming, isn’t this the reason for working so hard?”
Gong Shuwu: "..."
Qishan: "..."
Shen Tang felt uncomfortable being stared at by the two men.
Then he 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 will the people receive? Not only is there no benefit, in order to raise military expenses, the court will also increase taxes, and in the end it will all Put pressure on them. If you collect more taxes for military expenses, they will be hungry, and they may even starve to death. Look, when the Xin Kingdom was destroyed, how many of the remaining people missed their homeland? Don't they just pat their butts and continue to live their own lives? "
Even if the Geng Kingdom is destroyed in the future, the people will still be like this.
Maybe they would even raise it and take a few sips to celebrate that the tyrant above their heads had finally burped and they could take a breather.
Uncle Gong Duan didn't speak, and Zhai Le didn't speak either.
Qishan shook his head: "It doesn't apply to the world 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? What's the use of talents? It's not attractive and doesn't 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 fields, your home will become a granary; if you don't plant guns in the fields, everything will be a granary. How can the food grown in your own fields be as fragrant as that of other people's granaries?" Shen Tang considered. Express understanding of the current situation.
but--
Why do adults make choices?
Naturally, both guns and fields are needed.
Never mind me, the king of heaven, let’s feed my stomach before talking.
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."
I go out to work just to have enough to eat.
Don’t talk about ideals, let’s talk about belly.
If a boss can keep the company running normally, pay wages on time, give raises, don't give out chicken soup randomly, don't pay lip service to what he says, pay as much as he needs to do, and allow employees to support their families, then this That makes a good boss.
Not to mention 996, 007 can do it.
"Do you want to become an 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 like I don't have enough to eat..."
In this day and age, if you do your job well, you may not get a promotion or salary increase, but if you do it poorly, you can definitely bring down the whole family.
The effort is not proportional to the benefit.
Starting a business with others is not a good option, it is better to go solo.
She can also use her voice to conjure food.
Maybe she can't help others, but she won't starve to death herself.
Qishan's expression softened slightly.
"That's fine."
Shen Tang looked at him in confusion: "...what's the best?"
"It's good to work hard to eat enough."
It feeds not only one person, but also 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.
With their cultivation almost complete, the group was ready to enter the city.
Shen Tang, Zhai Le and Qishan were okay, but Gong Shuwu was a bit more eye-catching. As soon as the sky broke, Gong Shuwu got up, and Shen Tang discovered that this strong man was actually close to two meters tall, with a burly figure and a strong physique. She is tall, with broad shoulders and narrow waist, and strong muscles in her limbs. One person is as good as two of her!
He stands out from the crowd and can be easily recognized among the crowd.
－－－－－－Digression－－－－－
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.
