After the slight trace of psychological shame receded, everyone felt happy that they were not in Wang Xuan's eyes.
"Okay, let's get down to business." Wang Ren saw that everyone's emotions were almost relieved, and then he continued: "Whether it is possible to establish a vassal state, I personally think there is no problem. The biggest problem is the Hu people outside the Great Wall.
That’s all, but do you really take those barbarians in your eyes?!”
"Hahahaha." Hearing Wang Ren ask this, everyone laughed, "They are just barbarians. The reason why they are allowed to run rampant is because they are too lazy to pay attention to them. We really need to focus on them and destroy them with a single slap!"
For the Han people, the barbarians on the grassland did bring a lot of troubles, but they were just troubles. In the final analysis, the problems seen by the barbarians in all dynasties were described as scabies. Even in the late Ming Dynasty, the Jurchens were regarded as
I always looked down on it, and I didn’t really pay much attention to it. When I was invited by Wu Sangui, I just wanted to grab it and leave. The real focus of the conflicts in the past dynasties was still internal.
Throughout the Three Kingdoms period, no matter who the northern overlord was, as long as they focused a little attention on the north, the barbarians who could be defeated did not dare to look south.
For the country as a whole, the reason why the problem of barbarians cannot be eradicated is that the grassland has no value and is often abandoned after conquering it. This is because the management cost is too high and the gain outweighs the loss.
For these aristocratic families, they are even less willing to contribute to this. Firstly, it is not their own land, and secondly, if they do not contribute to the land, they will easily be suspected by the government of being disobedient, so this is the reason why it cannot be cured.
Take the Wuhuan people as an example, how many talents can be recorded in the history books? Qiu Liju is one, Tadun is one, and the others are really hard to pick. They are far inferior to any of the aristocratic families here.
, or there is no comparison at all. Even they can let the Wuhuan people exist for hundreds of years and occupy half of the state. If it were any aristocratic family, if they went all out, they could develop several times better than the Wuhuan people.
After all, there is no shortage of ordinary people at all times, but there is still a shortage of leading figures. It's just that these aristocratic families did not dare to do this before. It would cause a strong reaction from the court and be wiped out in one fell swoop, which is why we are in this situation now.
"It seems that everyone is very confident, so the question comes back. The conditions for establishing a vassal state are firstly to obtain the king's permission, and secondly to spend a lot of time and energy. We and Zhendong Hou are definitely incomparable, because Gongsun
Thanks to the general’s credit, the king must be responsible for the establishment of the Zhendong Kingdom from the beginning. Not only will the construction be the same as Qingzhou, but all the foundations will be completed.”
"And we have not made any progress yet, so we will definitely not get this kind of support. If we were to develop it all by ourselves, it would not be impossible but it would take too much time and energy. But now an opportunity is in front of us. Wang
We want to make an expedition to the north to destroy the Wuheng people and build the Zhendong Kingdom. Our Wang family’s plan is to spend enough money to ask the king to allow our Wang family to establish a kingdom and help clean up the foreign races within the area. If we can get more, of course it will be better.
"
"I have called everyone here this time in the hope that you can give some help to my Wang family. When everyone adds fuel to the flames, you can also learn from it in the process of building our country. If you have any needs in the future, our Wang family will also
I will give you adequate rewards, what do you think?" After a long speech, Wang Ren finally revealed the reason for convening everyone today.
If the Wang family relied on themselves, the time it would take to lay down enough territory would not be short, let alone the construction. The time and money needed to build a country would be too much. This is after the city-building technology has been greatly improved.
After Wang Ren finished speaking, the hall fell into silence. When it came to the issue of interests, everyone still needed to discuss it carefully.
Not to mention how good the exchange of interests was, in the end, an agreement was reached that satisfied all parties. The most important one was that each family provided help in exchange for Wang Ren's help in opening up Wang Xuan's relationship.
After the business was settled, the banquet continued until late at night when everyone had thoroughly enjoyed themselves and returned home satisfied.
The next day, Wang Ren and his two grandsons visited Wang Xuan's house again.
Wang Ren came to visit one after another, and Wang Xuan knew that the old man might have come to ask for something, and this aroused his curiosity.
After entering the living room and exchanging pleasantries, Wang Ren knew Wang Xuan's character and said straight to the point: "Zai Zhi, if our Wang family is willing to pay some price, can we exchange for the army to help destroy Goguryeo in the west after the Northern Expedition?"
"Huh?" Wang Xuan raised his eyebrows and looked at Wang Rendao inexplicably: "Why does the Wang Guild have such a request?"
"Uh..." Wang Ren looked at Wang Xuan with wide eyes, and his tone couldn't suppress a hint of urgency, "Didn't Zai Zhi promise me that after the Wang family is willing to pay for Langye's land, they can go north to found the country?"
Wang Xuan blinked, did I say that?
Wang Ren endured it so hard that his heart almost jumped out of his chest. He really wanted to yell, "You don't want to admit it!"
"Oh..." Wang Xuan nodded suddenly, "I remembered. I mentioned this before when I visited Langxie. Sorry, I forgot. I forgot."
Forget...forget!
Wang Ren almost couldn't breathe. How could you forget such a big thing? You, you, you, how could you!
Taking a few deep breaths, Wang Ren really knew how to describe his mood at this moment. Because of your words, the old man has been gone for half a year and spent countless energy. You actually forgot about it!!
In your heart, is this matter so unworthy of mentioning?
Well, no matter how big the grievance is, Wang Ren must suppress it. In any case, Wang Xuan just forgot and had no intention of admitting it. The result is good, and that's enough... what the hell!
If it weren't for Wang Xuan's request, if it wasn't for the huge gap in status, Wang Ren would have really wanted to burst into rage and roar, which almost scared him to death just now. Not to mention the consuming experience, yesterday he was all awesome.
, if this is messed up, how can he still be alive!
"No, where does the Wang family want to build their country?" Wang Xuan asked casually. This matter was not a big deal to him, and it was not as important as studying what to eat at night.
Wang Ren took a deep breath, took out the map that Wang Xuan had given him before, spread it out, held the five points carefully, and clicked on Liaodong County of Xuantu County, "Here!"
Wang Xuan glanced at Wang Ren in a funny way, "I said, Wang Gong, you are not right. I have already remembered this matter. I mentioned to you that day that Liaodong County and Xuantu County are the private lands of the imperial court. They are not
You can make up your mind!"
"Ha, hahaha, really, hahaha." Wang Ren laughed twice and couldn't help but mutter in his heart, why did you forget it, why did you remember it again!
