Chapter 1420: Water can carry a boat, and it can also capsize

Fanyang County City, Prince Qin'an's Mansion.

Wang Junlin smiled and said: "Mr. Wei, thank you for your hard work coming all the way east."

After Wei Zheng bowed respectfully, he said: "Thousands of miles of traveling are nothing compared to what I saw and heard in Fanyang County, let alone meeting a wise master like the prince. It is indeed a worthwhile trip for me."

Wang Junlin listened to Wei Zheng, who was famous for his venomous mouth, praising himself, and felt inexplicably comfortable in his heart. He sighed: "Now the world is in chaos, with smoke and smoke everywhere, and killings everywhere. I am eager to end this chaotic world and save all people from water and fire.

, If Mr. Wei likes me, Fanyang County, he might as well live in Fanyang County permanently. As a great talent like Mr. Wei who helps the world and governs the country, I am thirsty for talents and will entrust him with important tasks."

Wei Zheng was naturally ecstatic in his heart, but he became more and more frightened and doubtful. After a slight hesitation, he finally asked the doubts in his heart: "Your Highness, I am just a small official in Wu'an County. Your Majesty thinks so highly of me, I am very uneasy. Please, please

Your Majesty, please clarify."

Wang Junlin said with a smile: "To be honest with Mr. Wei, I have been very thirsty for talents recently, and I just need a person with a lot of money. Unexpectedly, Mr. Wei took the initiative to send it to me. Of course, with the powerful intelligence capabilities of our Far East Army, Mr. Wei entered Fanyang County

After that, it has been under the surveillance of our Military Intelligence Office, and all the information about Mr. Wei was delivered to me three days ago. After reading it, I deeply feel that although Mr. Wei is only a small official in Wu'an County,

He is not well-known, but he possesses great talents, so I am ready to reuse Mr. Wei."

"So that's it. I understand, but this is my honor." Wei Zheng suddenly realized that although there were still some things that didn't make sense, he could barely explain it. Besides this reason, Wei Zheng really couldn't figure out any other reasons.

reason.

But although Wei Zheng was ready to surrender to Wang Junlin, out of pride and scruples about Wang Junlin's past reputation and evil reputation, he still planned to test it out, and then continued: "I heard that the prince personally instructed me on movable type printing.

It was invented by craftsmen, and when I saw it for the first time in Fanyang County, I felt that it was far better than engraving and printing, and it was of great help to vigorously promote culture and education. The funny thing is that before I came to Fanyang County, I listened to the original businessmen.

After someone introduced this technology to Luoyang, Kyoto, some great scholars and celebrities were quite disdainful."

Wang Junlin naturally heard about this matter. He smiled brightly and said: "Those so-called Confucian celebrities talk too much and abandon reality. They are not people who really value culture and education. Those Confucian celebrities think that the engraving and printing are exquisite, and the characters are

All of them were copied and engraved by famous people, and every word is in exquisite calligraphy. Once a book is printed, it will be a masterpiece. But in movable type printing, the fonts are the same and shoddy, which they think is blasphemous to learning."

Wei Zheng said: "It's ridiculous, it's extremely ridiculous! These so-called Confucian celebrities are simply paying for the pearls, forgetting the fundamental significance of the existence of books. Little do they know that in today's troubled times, it is extremely difficult for scholars to have books to read.

After all, no one cares about these things. Moreover, movable type printing has greatly reduced the cost of printing books, and has an irreplaceable role in popularizing books and spreading knowledge. In Beizhong’s view, movable type printing will replace woodblock printing sooner or later, and it will have to be replaced by woodblock printing in the entire world.

Become mainstream.”

Wang Junlin nodded slightly, indicating that he believed it was true, then a flash of light flashed in his eyes, and he said straight to the point: "I have recently intended to send troops to the remaining four counties in Hebei, so that all six counties in Hebei will be under my control. How can Mr. Wei teach me this?"

I."

Wei Zheng said: "Since I entered Fanyang County, what I have seen along the way is that what the prince has done is worthy of being... a holy king through the ages. I admire the emperor greatly. I have little talent and cannot teach you. But if the prince sends troops to the four counties, I will fall."

I have a word for Your Majesty."

Wang Junlin looked at Wei Zheng's solemn expression, full of admonishment, thinking that this was Wei Zheng's nature, and said: "Mr. Wei, please speak, I am all ears."

Wei Zheng solemnly said: "Your Majesty, I see that the Sui Dynasty is about to be overthrown. There are many reasons, but the root cause is the people. I have heard an ancient saying in my humble position: 'The king is like a boat; people are like water. Water can carry a boat, but it can also overturn it.'

'And the grievance is not to be great, but to be afraid of people; to carry a boat and overturn it, it is advisable to be very cautious. To humble one's position is to be feared by the prince, as it is true to the imperial edict."

Wang Junlin suddenly laughed wildly. When Wei Zheng looked at him with confusion, he suddenly stopped laughing and praised sincerely: "Mr. Wei's words are indeed good words. I should keep them in mind. If I treat the people well in the future,

If you fail, Mr. Wei can accuse him face to face."

Wang Junlin and Wei Zheng talked until dinner time. Wang Junlin stayed with Wei Zheng to have dinner in his house. Wei Zheng declined briefly and then readily agreed.

Until after the meal, Wang Junlin did not mention any official position to Wei Zheng because he had not thought about it.

After Wei Zheng left, Wang Junlin returned to the backyard. Just halfway through, he saw a maid walking towards the depths of the backyard carrying a food box. He hurriedly called the maid and said in surprise: "Who are you delivering food to?"

The maid turned around and saw that it was Wang Junlin. She knelt down and saluted and said, "I have met the prince. I am going to deliver food to Miss Xiangxiang."

Under Wang Junlin's strong insistence, except for formal occasions, the rule in his palace that people had to kneel down and worship him no matter when and where they saw him was abolished.

As soon as Wang Junlin heard that he was going to deliver food to Xiang Xiang, he knew that the time-limited homework assigned by Nie Xiaoyu to Xiang Xiang was very difficult. Xiang Xiang was so busy that she forgot all about eating and sleeping.

As for what kind of homework Nie Xiaoyu assigned to Perfume, Wang Junlin was too busy to ask, but he just knew that there was such a thing.

Wang Junlin waved his hand to let the maid leave, and walked towards where Chen Danying lived.

After bypassing a clump of rockery trees and just about to step onto the corridor, a little boy wearing a small coat with pink makeup suddenly ran towards him, staggering one foot higher than the other: "Daddy..."

…Daddy… give me a hug.”

Wang Junlin looked up and couldn't help but feel happy. This little boy was his precious son.

He waved to the group of maids who were chasing after him to leave, and squatted down happily.

"Come, daddy, give me a hug."

The little boy had an innocent smile that made people melt, and he opened his lotus-like little arms to his father.

Wang Junlin leaned over and picked up his precious son. During this hug, he suddenly realized that his pants were wet. He couldn't help but said with a shy face, "You are over a year old and you still wet your pants. Are you ashamed?"

The little boy's big black eyes turned and turned, his long eyelashes fluttered twice, he pointed at the clear sky and said: "I didn't pee, it was raining, and the rain fell on me."

Wang Junlin picked up his precious son and walked forward. He looked up at the sky and said with a smile: "Really, the gods in the sky are really real. They dare to wet my son's pants in the rain and see if I don't spank them."

.”

The little boy chuckled when he heard this and said happily: "Daddy is so awesome..."

Wang Junlin didn't know whether to laugh or cry after hearing this. He glared at her and said, "You little brat, you have learned to lie before you are three years old."

The little boy's white jade-like face was bulging with anger, and he said in a milky voice: "Daddy, I'm very good. Sister Xiangxiang and Sister Guo'er both praised me like this!"
