Chapter 175 Which came first, the chicken or the egg?

"Second question, how many ink cartridges like this are there?" Yuwen Changqing asked again.

Lin Xiaofeng said: "For now, only eight have been made. We have one each in Yuzhou City, Luoyang City, and Anyang City in Zhongzhou, one in Xuzhou City, one each in Yanjing and Jizhou, one in Jinling City, and one in Yangzhou City

There is one...the production technology of the ink cartridge is very complicated, and it takes at least two months from production to use, and coupled with the shortage of spiritual stones, there will not be more for a while."

"Xuzhou City? Isn't that Long Yingtian's territory? What to do for him?" Yan Yunting asked with curled lips.

Lin Xiaofeng said with a smile: "There are also many people in Xuzhou, so we can't just favor Zhongzhou, right? Momen values ​​'universal love for life', and everyone in the world will be happy! You see, even we in Weizhou are only allocated one,

You only have three in Zhongzhou, so be content..."

Yuwen Changqing took a Ruyi and asked, "Can Ruyi from another city open the barrier of my city?"

Lin Xiaofeng shook his head and said: "It probably won't work. The specifications of each ink cartridge are different, and the keys must also be different."

Yuwen Changqing then showed a satisfied look, "That's good, I'm just afraid that other cities will fall and cause trouble for Zhongzhou."

"Then suppose other cities are really destroyed and come to Zhongzhou for help, would you just ignore them?" Lin Xiaofeng asked.

Yuwen Changqing said: "Without one prince, there will be one less opponent in the future. Why should we help them?"

Lin Xiaofeng sighed: "Brother Yuwen, the top priority is for all the people to cooperate to fight against the Nine Nether Demons and the plague. Your vision is still too forward."

Yuwen Changqing just smiled: "Cooperation? Will Long Yingtian cooperate with you? Will King Qi cooperate with you? If I hadn't designed to capture this city, would King Luoyang cooperate with you?"

Lin Xiaofeng frowned slightly: "You should serve the people first, and then the country."

Yuwen Changqing retorted: "Since ancient times, serving the country and the people, serving the country and the people, and serving the country have always come first. Without a country, how can there be a family? Without a family, how can there be a people?"

"Water can carry a boat or overturn it. Only the people's will can lead to the great road."

"But what the people long for is a good and prosperous country?"

"Throughout the history of Kyushu, the people are prosperous and the country is safe, while the people are poor and the country is in chaos. Don't you understand this?"

"History is history, and the present is the present. In today's troubled times, the people are like grass and grass. Who can help millions of people on their own? Only by building a strong country and creating a strong army can we protect the people from harm. This is what I

The reason why we should follow His Majesty’s ascension to the throne.”

"You misinterpreted what I meant."

"You may have stayed in Momen for too long and have become 'selfless and philanthropic', but in the end you are still a Confucian."

"Are you mocking me?"

"It depends on what you think about it. Of course, you are serving the people and you will get a good reputation. I am serving the country and you will get a bad reputation for being cruel."

"You're talking nonsense! If I cared about my reputation, and if I didn't serve the country, I would take your place and go to Chang'an to be the Tutor, and end up with the title of 'national thief'?"

Lin Xiaofeng's face turned red with anger.

Yan Yunting and Li Yu stood aside and couldn't say anything. Even the quarrels between these scholars were so clumsy that it gave people a headache.

"Stop it!" Yan Yunting stood in front of these two great Confucian scholars and said with a smile: "Now I have a question, and I want to ask you two, but I am more clichéd and my words are rough. Listen to me.

Don't mind——

Let me ask you two, which came first in this world, the chicken or the egg?"

Lin Xiaofeng and Yuwen Changqing were immediately speechless. This question may seem crude, but it is very profound. Really? Is it for the country or for the people? Which comes first, the chicken or the egg?

Some questions actually don’t require any effort to find answers.

Lin Xiaofeng and Yuwen Changqing seemed to laugh awkwardly, "Brother Yan taught us a lesson today."

Lin Xiaofeng and Yu Wen Changqing are comparable in terms of talent and strategy, but the former is gentle and gentle, and the strategies he uses are all "boiling frogs in warm water" and nibbling away step by step; the latter is decisive and uses strategies that are "point-to-point".

", fierce, dangerous and poisonous;

In terms of getting along with each other, I am definitely more comfortable with Lin Xiaofeng. Unlike Yuwen Changqing, he will treat everyone, including himself, as pawns, making the best use of everything and seeking benefits.

"Okay, after such a long delay, it's time for me to return to Weizhou." Lin Xiaofeng put down the instructions, gave Li Yu and Yan Yunting a brief salute, and prepared to turn around and leave.

Li Yu persuaded him to stay, saying: "Mr. Lin, why don't you stay in Zhongzhou until the new dynasty is established? I am very thirsty for talents."

Lin Xiaofeng waved his hand and said with a smile: "Brother Yuwen is in charge of the overall situation in Zhongzhou, so it would be redundant for me to stay. Your Majesty, there is no need for you to stay or see me off, I will go on my own."

After Lin Xiaofeng left, Yuwen Changqing pointed and sighed: "Look, this stingy guy is really angry after saying a few words."

Yan Yunting curled his lips and said, "If you were generous, you wouldn't make others angry."

Li Yu said worriedly: "Mr. Lin has gone to Weizhou now, and I don't know when he will come back. Weizhou is the fiefdom of King Dai. Will he deal with us for King Dai in the future?"

Yuwen Changqing pursed his lips: "Well... he hasn't gone far yet. It's still too late to kill him now."

"Ah!?" Yan Yunting and Li Yu were shocked.

"Hahaha... I'm just kidding!" Yu Wen Changqing clapped his legs and laughed: "Didn't he just say that he is asking for orders for the people and will not participate in power struggles. Your Majesty, the Emperor, will sit firmly in the throne."

"This joke is not funny at all. Such a scary idea pops up in your mind," Yan Yunting sighed: "Oh...Brother Yuwen, if you continue like this, you will really have no friends."

"Okay, okay, stop thinking nonsense. Didn't you say you want to go to Luoyang City to visit your old friend?" Yuwen Changqing changed the subject and looked at Yan Yunting.

"If you don't tell me, I almost forgot, let's go..." Yan Yunting pushed Yuwen Changqing to go downstairs, a little anxiously.

"Wait a minute!" Li Yu was about to follow, "What old friend? Take me with you."

Yan Yunting hurriedly said: "You are the emperor. There are many guests these days. According to etiquette, you should receive them, so you better not go..."

Li Yu hummed and said: "You are a prodigal son. Do you have any old friends in Luoyang City? I'm afraid you are going to meet those dancers in the Peacock Tower?"

Yan Yunting smiled and said: "If it weren't for the dancers in the Peacock Tower fighting to protect the Lord that night, how could we have boarded the plane so smoothly? Speaking of which, they are also the founding heroes! Your Majesty should reward them!"

Li Yu narrowed his eyes and suddenly smiled sideways, "Okay, those dancers are all stunning beauties. I will recruit them all into the palace and make them concubines. What do you think?"

Yan Yunting scratched his head and smiled: "That's so embarrassing..."

Li Yu is his, and the beauty is Li Yu's. Then I thought about it, aren't both Li Yu and the beauty his?

Thinking about the picture of being surrounded by flowers, that... is really embarrassing!

"Get out of here now, I'll get annoyed when I see you!"

"My lord, I obey!"
