Chapter 549 [Talking about soldiers on paper] (Part 2)
Hu Xiaotian shook his head and said: "Dayong and Bohai are not brothers. The strength and status of the two have never been on the same level. In fact, you understand this truth, I understand it, and everyone present understands why we should deceive ourselves and others by saying this.
If it is irrelevant, why does Da Yong get its land and we take back the sea area? The strength of the Bohai navy cannot even capture a mere Python Island, so how can we conquer Da Kang? Everyone can talk about it on paper, but what do you think?
In reality, he simply knows nothing." Hu Xiaotian was being polite without saying that he was ignorant.
Li Guoyuan turned livid with anger and said angrily: "You are just talking nonsense! You look down on our country, Bohai..."
Hu Xiaotian smiled and said: "It's not to look down upon, but to discuss things on the ground. After all, talking about war on paper is still unrealistic. If Mr. Li really thinks about the country, he should think more about practical strategies, instead of just using his words and boasting in front of others.
." Hu Xiaotian's words did not show mercy to Li Guoyuan at all, but Li Guoyuan did not have any official position, let alone any status. Debates on current affairs among Bohai scholars were very common, so although everyone was offended by it, they did not
Feeling that Hu Xiaotian was treasonous, most of the scholars present did not doubt Hu Xiaotian's identity and origin, but instead thought hard about how to refute his remarks.
Zou Yong smiled and said: "Hu Caidong, it seems that you must have your own opinions on the general trend of the world. Why don't you express your opinions for everyone to review!"
Hu Xiaotian smiled calmly and said: "I'm just a businessman. I only know how to discuss things as they happen. I don't have any high opinions. Since Mr. Zou wants me to say something, I will boldly say a few words, hoping not to make people laugh." He put on this mask and was just a person.
An ordinary man with rough and dark skin, his appearance is featureless, and no one pays attention to him when he is not talking. But when he starts to speak, his body seems to glow with a strange energy, and his every move is filled with indescribable attraction.
The attention of Xue Lingjun and Yan Dongqing were both attracted to him. Xue Lingjun stared at Hu Xiaotian's eyes quietly. He felt that the eyes were familiar, and he couldn't remember where he had seen them before, so he became more and more focused, trying to pass through
His identity can be inferred from the subtle expression on his face.
Hu Xiaotian said: "Businessmen put profit first. In my opinion, the same is true for disputes among countries. In the shopping mall, the weak eat the strong and fight against each other. The strong can bully the market and monopolize the operation. The weak can only survive in the cracks and barely survive.
, even if two merchants do business together, they are brothers who settle the accounts clearly. The one who invests more will definitely claim most of the benefits, while the one who invests less can only get a share of the pot. "
Everyone fell silent. Hu Xiaotian seemed to be talking about business, but in fact he was talking about the relationship between Dayong and Bohai. Dayong was the big businessman, and now he was strong enough to dominate the market. But Bohai was the small businessman who only wanted to
If you cooperate with Dayong, you will only get a piece of the pie in the end.
Zou Yong whispered: "If this big merchant has the strength to do this deal, then there is no need to ask the small merchants to cooperate. In the end, the small merchants may not even get a share of the pie."
Hu Xiaotian smiled and said: "Master Zou really sees things thoroughly."
Xue Lingjun said: "I don't know anything about business. This Hu Caidong..." When she mentioned the word "Hu", she obviously emphasized her tone, and deliberately paused at the critical moment. She finally remembered where she had seen this look before.
However, she still couldn't conclude that Hu Xiaotian would not be so bold to come to Bohai Country, not to mention based on the information she had. Hu Xiaotian was still in Dongliang County three days ago, and it was impossible to arrive in such a short time.
Wanghai City. But if it wasn't Hu Xiaotian, why did this person's eyes look so similar to his, and the tone and rhythm of his speech were so similar? Xue Lingjun couldn't help but feel a layer of fog in her heart. She whispered: "What does Hu Caidong think of the situation in the Central Plains?"
?”
Hu Xiaotian smiled and said: "The general trend of the world. If we unite for a long time, we will divide, and if we divide for a long time, we will unite. In my opinion, the Central Plains is not far away from reunification."
Zou Yong said with a smile: "I agree with Hu Caidong's point of view. It is only a matter of time to unify the Central Plains with Dayong's current strength."
Hu Xiaotian shook his head and said: "I said that the unification of the Central Plains may not necessarily be the Yong Dynasty." As soon as this statement came out, everyone was shocked.
Li Guoyuan was held back by Hu Xiaotian for a long time, and now he finally got a chance. He smiled and said: "Hu Caidong is really good at sensationalizing. Looking at the plains, who else has the strength to unify the Central Plains besides Dayong?"
Hu Xiaotian smiled and said: "Mr. Li should have read a lot, but unfortunately he doesn't know much."
"You..." Li Guoyuan was so angry that he was speechless and his face was black and blue.
Hu Xiaotian cursed in his heart, it was you, old man, who brought this humiliation upon yourself. I didn’t want to talk to you at all. The main purpose of his coming today was to attract Xue Lingjun’s attention. Now it seems that this purpose should have been achieved. He smiled
Said: "Everything in this world cannot escape the law that when it reaches its peak, it must decline. Dakang was so powerful back then. It swallowed thousands of miles like a tiger, but in the end it still couldn't escape the fate that it must decline when it reaches its peak. Although Dayong was strong, it was not as powerful as Dakang in its heyday.
Both the territory and strength are still far behind. Dakang in its heyday did not achieve the plan of unifying the Central Plains. Do you think Dakang can do it today?"
Li Guoyuan was speechless. He talked nonsense most of the time. Although he was known as a learned scholar, he had never even left the small island country of Bohai once in his life. In terms of vision and vision, how could he be the opponent of Hu Xiaotian, a man of two generations?
.
Hu Xiaotian said: "Although Dakang has declined, its territory and strength are still second best among the countries in the Central Plains. If they can elect a wise monarch, work hard to govern, and carry out drastic reforms, they may be able to revive it.
Sheji, the Tianxiang Kingdom in the south of Dakang, has not been affected by the war for many years. Over the years, under the hard work of several monarchs, the country has become strong and the people are prosperous. Its naval power has surpassed Dakang. Recently, it is ready to make a move.
With the intention of encroaching on the Central Plains, Li Tianheng of Xichuan separated and established himself. He himself was a brave and capable general. In addition, the famine in Dakang did not affect Xichuan. In the past two years, he recruited troops and horses. He was ambitious and had the intention of expanding eastward. On the other hand, although Dayong was powerful
, but recently the country is experiencing the transition of old and new monarchs. The new monarch will inevitably have a familiar process of governing the country, and when the subjects experience this change of court, they feel uneasy. Inside Dayong, they want to achieve the same level of unity as in the past.
It will take some time before we can unite as one. It is precisely at this time that the Black Hus in the north are preparing their troops, intending to take advantage of the fact that the new monarch's authority is not yet stable and send his troops southward."
Li Guoyuan didn't know how to refute, but Xue Lingjun already giggled, stared at Hu Xiaotian with a pair of beautiful eyes and said: "This Hu Caidong really put a lot of thought into Dayong's situation."
Hu Xiaotian smiled and said: "Why bother with superficial things? Even traffickers and lackeys can see through it. Businessmen like us who are good at observing people can naturally also see it."
Xue Lingjun asked: "Where is Hu Caidong from?" Before Hu Xiaotian could answer, she had already taken the lead and said: "You are from Kang!" The smile on his face suddenly faded, and his phoenix eyes showed no anger or authority.
Hu Xiaotian was still smiling: "The villain's ancestors are indeed Kang people. In fact, tracing back to the roots, the eldest princess's ancestors are also Kang people."
When Xue Lingjun heard this, he had no doubt that this guy was Hu Xiaotian, but it was really bold to say this in public. Xue Lingjun said angrily: "Bastard! Be brave, come here and capture this daring guy!"
Xue Lingjun's sudden overreaction stunned both Zou Yong and Yan Dongqing, and all the guests were stunned into silence by her outburst.
Although Zou Yong also felt that Hu Xiaotian's remarks were excessive, Xue Lingjun openly had a fit here and wanted to take advantage of others. She really did not regard herself as an outsider. After all, this was Bohai Country, not Dayong.
Hu Xiaotian said calmly: "The eldest princess is still angry with me? Is it because Hu Mou left without saying goodbye last time?"
Everyone became more and more confused when they heard this. It turned out that Xue Lingjun knew this Hu Dafu. What is the relationship between the two of them?
Xue Lingjun's face changed again at this time, and he laughed sweetly: "Hu Caidong, you have seen me a long time ago, and you turned a blind eye to me. Do you believe that I will take your head when I go back?"
Hu Xiaotian smiled and said: "I have no regrets about dying in the hands of the eldest princess." He picked up the wine glass in front of him and said: "I will use Mr. Zou's glass of wine to accompany the eldest princess. This time Hu will never dare to
Offend His Highness again!"
Everyone was dumbfounded, these two people were obviously flirting in public!
Zou Yong looked at Yan Dongqing dumbfounded. Previously, she had asked herself to try to charm Xue Lingjun. Everyone knew that this Princess Yong was famous far and wide and had countless people who surrendered to her. Zou Yong had always been a self-satisfied and romantic man, thinking that as long as he used some tricks
It was bound to make Xue Lingjun fascinated, but he didn't expect that Cheng Yaojin would show up halfway and completely disrupt his plan. He even robbed him of the glory of the protagonist. Just from the look in Xue Lingjun's eyes at Hu Xiaotian.
He could sense that something was very wrong. If he said that there was no personal relationship between the two people, he would not believe it even to death.
Yan Dongqing was also surprised. In the past, she knew that Xue Lingjun had a bad reputation in Dayong, but she didn't expect to meet her old lover when she came to Bohai Kingdom. However, the eldest princess's vision in choosing a lover was too poor.
In terms of appearance, how can this Hu Dafu compare to Zou Yong? But to be fair, this Hu Dafu is still somewhat attractive. At least in the debate just now, he showed his eloquent side. Although this man is not good-looking, he is
Very smart mind.
Xue Lingjun stood up at this time and took the initiative to come to Hu Xiaotian's side. Fatty Wang, who was originally sitting next to Hu Xiaotian, stood up and moved aside. The seats themselves were not different, but there was a difference when different people sat there.
Immediately, someone changed the bowls and chopsticks for Xue Lingjun and led Fatty Wang to another place. Fatty Wang was obviously trembling all over when he walked. The trouble came from his mouth. He also saw the relationship between Hu Dafu and Xue Lingjun.
