Chapter 716 Where is the road
Faced with the topic of death such as commenting on the kings of the two countries, Wei Yuan would not easily accept it, but instead asked: "What does the Fourth Highness think?"
Li Chengfeng laughed and said, "My opinion is inevitably a bit biased, but since Lord Wei asked, he naturally has to answer. To put it simply, King Jin is humble and has many ways of doing things; King Zhao is wise, but he likes to be arbitrary and accompanies the king as if he is a tiger."
Wei Yuan nodded and asked again: "Since the Fourth Prince knows, he still wants to ask me, what does it mean?"
Li Chengfeng said meaningfully: "Mr. Wei Qingming's land was all built by one's own strength.
Ship did not give you a single point of help. If it weren’t for the envoy of my Zhao State who was attacked halfway through the road, Lord Wei would be the governor of my Zhao State today.
This time I came here, I just wanted to ask Lord Wei, if there was a war between Pu and Zhao, how should Lord Wei deal with it?"
Wei Yuan laughed and asked, "Has all the Western mountain people been wiped out?"
Li Chengfeng said with a pleasant look: "The mountain people are powerful, and they are easy to defend and difficult to attack, so they cannot be called to destroy them."
"Then the ghost cars and Yao Li in the southwest and south are all exhausted?
"Never."
Wei Yuan asked two questions in a row, but when he got here he suddenly smiled slightly and said, "I, Wei Yuan, is currently the governor of Datang Qingyang."
Li Chengfeng's thoughts were evident and said, "Master Wei means to be transcendent and not involve disputes between the two countries?"
Wei Yuan said: "Wei is currently fighting in the north. If it weren't for your Qingshui Realm, I would have wanted to start the Qingming Army and send it to the northern mountain gate."
Li Chengfeng sighed and said, "Mr. Wei, I am sorry for my deep words. Since ancient times, no one who wants to be able to get along with others has ended up with good luck. The two countries of Pu and Zhao are strong and weak, and those who are interested can see clearly.
Moreover, although the father had just remembered his own use, he was definitely not a person who was jealous of the virtuous and capable. As long as he made contributions, the rewards he deserved would never be short.
Over the years, such as the Marquis of Ping'an and Marquis of Wuding, they all have the highest military power, and have never been too powerful to shock the master. If a rabbit dies, the dog will cook. Such a king is just a little bit of a temper, what else can he ask for?"
Wei Yuan smiled slightly and said, "Is the Fourth Highness here to be a lobbyist?"
Li Chengfeng suddenly bowed to the ground and said, "I not only want to ask Lord Wei to join Zhao State, but also want to ask Lord Wei to help me! In the future, I will ascend to the throne. Outside, you will be below one person and above ten thousand people; inside, you and my brothers will be in harmony, and the two families will be married for generations.
Li Chengfeng was not talented and asked himself whether he had other skills, but he would do what he said, and he would be wise and tolerant of others!"
Wei Yuan hurried over and helped Li Chengfeng up and said, "Fourth Prince, don't say that, Wei can't afford it. Wei is now the governor of Datang and is concerned about the north, so he really doesn't want to participate in the internal disputes of the human race.
Let’s do this. If there is really a war, then I don’t have anything else. There are still some weapons, food and grass. If the Fourth Highness needs it, just take it."
"This—" Li Chengfeng wanted to say something but stopped, and finally sighed: "Master Wei insisted on doing this, so I can't persuade him anymore, but my father's eyes cannot tolerate sand, so I'm afraid there will be some trouble."
Wei Yuan laughed and said, "King Zhao is King Zhao, we are us. The Fourth Prince, I naturally have no reason not to give you what you need."
Li Chengfeng said, "Then Li will go back first."
"The Fourth Prince is here! Do you still have any extra refugees now?"
Li Chengfeng said: "There are still tens of thousands of people who have not been placed. Why is Lord Wei short of staff again?"
Wei Yuan also sighed: "So much land is empty, there is always someone to grow food!"
"Okay, I will organize the team within three days and arrange them to set off!"
"The Fourth Prince is really happy. So, is it still the old price?"
Li Chengfeng smiled and said, "When the war broke out, the refugees were everywhere. The price would definitely drop sharply at that time. Should Lord Wei consider it and buy it later?"
Wei Yuan waved his hand: "No need! It's just tens of thousands of people, but there's not much money. Buy it early and enjoy it early!"
After the two said goodbye, Li Chengfeng left Zhike Town and returned to Bishui.
At this time, the young aide said, "Qing Ming is already quite strong. If you use his refugee supplies, you may not be able to lose your penis and will never be able to control it anymore. We should find a way to block Qing Ming, and refugees cannot give it to you!"
Li Chengfeng turned to his older staff and asked, "What does Mr. Shi think?"
With Wei Yuan's endorsement, his attitude towards older staff has improved a lot now, and he has picked up a little bit of the taste of being a wise man.
The older staff member said slowly: "If you are in your position, you will plan your politics. If you are not in your position, you will not plan your politics."
The young staff heard it a little puzzled, but Li Chengfeng felt very clear in his heart for a moment.
Over the past six months, Li Chengfeng seemed to be defeated and humiliated, and was forced to make multiple transactions with Wei Yuan in succession. However, whether it was reselling machine broth, raw silk, or collecting medicinal materials and vagrants in exchange for Argastric weapons, Li Chengfeng would make more or less profit for every purchase of materials.
Although he was quite restrained and dared to make a small profit, the amount was too large. Even if he only made half a tael of brocade, he would have earned more than two million taels of immortal silver in a blink of an eye, and the amount he earned was about this.
With money in hand, many things can be done. Now, not only have the elite soldiers of the ten directions been restored in the Qingshui Realm, but also attracted 100,000 residents, and they are thriving.
These residents are not refugees. Many of them are craftsmen with craftsmanship, and the rest are also strong.
Farming in your spare time, and holding a sword in your war.
Li Chengfeng's strength has also risen sharply among the princes and princesses, and he has been firmly ranked in the top three since before. He is planning to train another 100,000 new troops, and then 200,000 elite troops are in hand. He will be the No. 1 real-powerful figure in the entire Zhao State and will no longer have to rely on the identity of the Fourth Prince.
The premise of all this is to maintain trade with Qingming. Now Zhao State has completely blocked Qingming, but the Bishui Realm has become a window, and all the trading materials between both parties pass through here. As long as the goods flow from the territory, Li Chengfeng can make money.
Everyone knows that such a large amount of goods transfer will definitely enhance Qingming's strength, but the problem is that Li Chengfeng also needs money and strength now. Without immortal silver in his hand, there will be no army, and the throne will inevitably go far away from him.
Blocking Qingming is beneficial to Zhao State, and trade is extremely important to Li Chengfeng. If Li Chengfeng wants to become King of Zhao, he must find ways to maintain trade with Qingming. When he ascends to the throne, it will not be too late to block Qingming again.
Qingmingzhong, when Li Chengfeng left, Wei Yuan waved, and Baoyun and Cui Yu walked out.
Wei Yuan said, "Li Chengfeng is here, probably because of King Zhao's intention. It seems that King Zhao is going to attack Jin State.
R
Cui Yu said: "With the character of King Zhao, we will not allow us to sit in the mountains and watch the tiger fight and reap the benefits of fishermen. I think he will most likely send troops to fight another battle. Only with this battle can we fight the constitution for future relationships."
Baoyun said: "The chariot troops have been formed. If Zhao comes, it will just try the power of the Zhao cavalry, which is famous all over the world."
Wei Yuan said: "This is why I want to keep you in Qingming. In addition, you must never stop opening the fields. If there is too much food to stock up, you can think of other ways to store it. What did Xu Wenwu say-"""- Canned food, have you studied it?"
Bao Yun said: "This thing looks simple, but in fact, it requires very high requirements for packaging iron sheet. Uncle Yu has been studying for a long time and finally developed a thin steel sheet that can barely meet the requirements. The surface of this steel sheet needs to be treated with Taoist force. The number of monks was not enough before. After this ceremony, Uncle Yu had another 500 more people.
It is specifically used to produce this thin steel, and it is almost enough."
Wei Yuan nodded and said, "Then make a batch of food first. This is the best military ration when fighting. Don't be as small as Xu Wenwu said, make a big bucket, which is enough for ten people to eat at a time."
Wei Yuan said to Cui Yu again: "How is the progress of renting a flying boat from the Cui family?
,
Cui Yu said: "Our ancestors are very supportive of this matter and decided to rent a giant flying boat, three medium flying boats, and ten small flying boats."
Wei Yuan's eyes lit up and he said, "So many?"
Qianwei Yuan collected all the flying boats that could be found and requisitioned all the flying boats that could be separated from Taichu Palace. So far, there are only nine, eight of which are small and one medium.
There were only three ships transferred from Taichu Palace, and the other six were rented from the Chamber of Commerce. These flying boats carried less cargo and were slow. It took only a voyage of more than 100,000 miles to fly to the northern mountain gate, and it took nearly a month to travel back and forth.
Even Wei Yuan had to use most of the flying boat capacity to transport ammunition, and he could not even transport many artillery pieces, and there were only twenty chariots, and the troops only had more than 10,000 people.
However, at the northern mountain gate, due to the suppression of the frontal natal immortal treasure, only the Taoist soldiers can receive obvious blessings. Apart from the most elite people, Qingming had no advantage when he went to the northern mountain gate, and casualties would surge.
After Wei Yuan discovered this, he changed his strategy and focused on strengthening the Taoist soldiers of the northern mountain gate itself. However, due to the capacity of the flying boat, the armed speed never reached Wei Yuan's ideal state.
This time, the Cui family made a great deal. Not to mention anything else, just a giant flying boat has more transportation capacity than the total of all current transportation capacity.
Cui Yu smiled and said, "Our ancestor said that this time she has taken out 30% of the family's family's wealth and let you be kind to me in the future."
Only so many flying boats account for 30% of the Cui family's flying boats? Wei Yuan once again intuitively realized the terrifying financial resources of the aristocratic families.
After handling Qingming's affairs, Wei Yuan was about to return to the northern mountain gate when he learned that Zhao Tong had arrived in Qingming. The old acquaintance looked worried and said as soon as he saw Wei Yuan, "If the king asks you to have time, go to the king to see him. In addition, the Yuan Concubine asked me to bring you a message, and she misses you very much."
Wei Yuan looked at his schedule and said, "The war in the north is getting tight. Why don't we go to the capital now?"
Zhao Tong said, "That's the best!"
Western Jin Dynasty, Yingdu, Vajra Zen Temple.
King Jin slowly walked into the gate of the Zen Temple, stopped in front of the merit lotus pond with only a piece of withered leaves, and then continued to walk inward, climbing up the steps and entering the hall.
There was nothing on the altar at the end of the hall. A woman with green eyes was kneeling in front of the altar, knocking on the wooden fish one after another. The sound of the wooden fish was empty and desolate, revealing a kind of rust washed by the long years.
King Jin came to her and stood there, asking, "Is there any way to go?"
Qingtong did not look back and said, "The road has been under your feet."
"I want to ask, is there any other way?"
"The vast majority of sentient beings in the world have no way to go. And you have at least one way, the road to heaven is always there. You have already walked most of them, but you are unwilling to go on. Come and ask me again, why bother?"
"What if Gu Ruo compared to Xu Fanggu?
"How can you compare with him when he can make a way out of nothingness? Originally, you will see a mountain, and if you can climb to the top, you will be comparable to him.
But you only walked half a journey. Now let alone Xu Wangu, even Lu Changhe was just free to destroy you."
"But I have already broken the situation!"
"That game was broken by Wei Yuan. You should know the price of his game."
King Pu walked out of the hall and passed by the lotus pond of merit. He stood by the withered and yellow lotus pond for a while before leaving.
