Chapter 66: The Book of the Sages Who Rule by Inaction
Walking through the streets, I was full of the wounds left by last night on the city. There are ruined walls, broken bricks and tiles everywhere, a few horse-drawn carriages on the ruined Xuanwu Avenue, rickshaws are struggling to travel, and most of the pedestrians are missing. After last night, the hearts of the people unveiled a layer of baffles called security, the sugar stall full of children on weekdays, only an old man was left alone guarding the stall, not that the old man wanted to go out of the stall when it was so chaotic, but in order to treat his wife, there was no surplus food at home, there was no food to eat if he didn't go out of the stall, and his wife would have no medicine to cure the disease if he didn't go out of the stall.
The suffering of the world, that group of scholars who have no worries about food and clothing will not understand, they only have the sage book of inaction in their minds, where have they considered firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea.
The most crowded place is the few grain stores that are still open on the corner, business is booming, the queue is almost a street away, and the guys in the store come out every quarter of an hour, carrying new price planks in front of the store. The increase in prices does not cause dissatisfaction among those who come after, and those in line only hate themselves for not getting up earlier.
The origin of people's panic can be understood by going to the West Market once. There is a tiger army guarding the door, and idlers are not allowed to put it in. If you can enter the square gate of the West Market, the only thing you can feel is desolation. Broken walls, flying sand and rocks. Except for black, there were no other colorful colors to be seen, and none of the shops in the West Market were intact, and the doors were shattered, and a few items dropped during the rush to grab them were scattered and scattered. You can imagine how arrogant the thugs were last night.
Some of the bosses in the shops in the West Market commanded the men to move the goods that the thugs did not finish last night, some were cleaning up the residue after the fire, and some directly sealed the door of the store.

The swallow ring blossomed, and when he arrived at Lu Fusheng at the gate of Bo'an City, he was followed by a big fat man. Walking in the hot summer, it seems that he can throw out the oil, this big fat man is the king fat man of Yipinlou, today the fat man is dressed in silk and satin, and he shows his identity as a wealthy businessman to the people in Bo'an City.
This is what Lu Fusheng specially instructed when he taught his subordinates to be a rich businessman, and a rich merchant should have the appearance of a rich merchant, use the fastest carriage to enter and exit, wear the best clothes, and eat the most expensive food. Otherwise, under the policy of Shinong Industry and Commerce, how can others respect you for three points.
However, Wang Fatzi, who usually enjoys his hands, is bitter today, and he sits in the carriage and enjoys the coolness of the ice cubes when he goes out in the summer, but today he can only walk to the city gate with Lu Fusheng, which really makes Wang Fatzi very tired.
"Owner, last night's casualties came out. Sergeant Huben lost one person, seriously wounded 36 others, and slightly wounded thousand. Wuhou died one person and slightly injured hundreds of others. One person was killed and one was slightly wounded in the newly formed flankers. Of the troublemakers, seven hundred and twenty-one people died, and none were injured. Among the troublemakers who died, 568 could be identified as scholars. Wang Fatzi, who received the news this morning, recounted the casualty figures to Lu Fusheng word for word.
"Hiss......" Lu Fusheng, who gasped, said: "Lin Guang deserves to be called General Yama, and he will not leave anyone alive if he shoots." How was Yipinlou last night?"
"Last night, the East Market went to the water, and the Wuhou who was originally guarding the East City, the fire army was no longer enough, but a group of Wuhou came to the rescue in a hurry, coupled with the beauty of the heavens, only fortunately the East Market was saved, except for the breakfast shop where the explosion occurred and a few neighboring shops, there was no loss. ”
"That's good, how is the Anyang ticket number handled?"
"It's going well, this morning the little one has sent someone to send the borrowed gold, the only pity is that the money earned by Yipinlou this month has been lost. ”
"Don't lose your vision for small profits, remember everything, the most important thing is to look to the future, according to the changes of your own industry with continuous improvement in order to stand at the top of the industry forever, in order to have endless gold automatically run into your pocket. Yawning, Lu Fusheng is teaching Wang Fatzi business all the time, and among the top ten shopkeepers, Lu Fusheng is most optimistic about Wang Fatzi, not only has a lively head, but also has a feeling of joy from him, otherwise Lu Fusheng will not transfer him to the most important Bo'an Yipinlou.
"Taught, host. Wang Fatzi nodded modestly. It's just that this time I lowered my head, and the sweat droplets on my face were connected into threads and dripped down.
Seeing this, Lu Fusheng handed over a piece of silk and said, "The next thing is a little changed." It's a bit of a hassle, but it's a lot safer. ”
The fat man who took the silk began to round his neck and wiped his sweat and said, "As long as you command, the matter will be done for you." ”
It's a pity that the ability of silk to absorb water is not as good as that of linen, but linen will rub through the fine skin and tender flesh of the fat man, even if there is enough meat.
Far away, a general with a black face comparable to bamboo charcoal walked towards this side violently. Facing this posture, at first Wang Fatzi thought that he had committed some crime, the military came to take people, and then he thought about it, even if what he was going to do was indeed a bad thing for Anyang Guo, but it was also the future, I hadn't done it yet, why did someone come to arrest me.
The general came forward, bowed his hand, and said angrily to Lu Fu: "Engong, thanks to your persuasion that day, I was able to pick up a life, I listened to your advice, and now I am running, and I am the deputy general of the city, please accept my Wang Xing's worship." In the future, it will be useful to come to my place, even if it is good to open my mouth. ”
Lu Fusheng hurriedly helped Wang Xing, who was about to put it down, and said, "No need to be polite." If it weren't for the fact that you didn't have a way, you wouldn't be just a small defender. ”
"It's good to guard the city, it's good to guard the gate for the whole Anyang at the border, and it's not for the whole Anyang to guard the gate in Bo'an City. If those brothers who died were still alive, they would be proud of me. ”
"There was a lot of crisis last night, how is it at your city gate?" Lu Fusheng chatted with Wang Xing as a casual chat, in fact, Lu Fusheng and Wang Fatzi came to the city gate today not specifically to find Wang Xing, but just happened to meet. Standing on the sidelines, the fat man was looking out of the city with his barely visible neck.
Wang Xing was born in martial arts, and naturally he was also a bold man, knowing that he had already stood in line with King Xian, and the Engong in front of him must be inextricably linked to King Xian, even if some of them involve military affairs, they will be informed.
Lu Fusheng whispered in his ear: "Last night, the Tiger Ben Army has blocked all the troublemakers on Xuanwu Avenue, and most of the rioters are also burning and looting in the West Market, and there are no vicious people at the city gate, only one point, the general of the city defender is the king's person, and he directly listens to the king, and after the trouble just yesterday, he transferred half of the people who defended the city. As soon as the time of Xuanwu Avenue ended last night, a Golden Dragon Guard brother passed through this city gate and went out of the city with a tiger talisman in his hand. ”
Sensing that this was a very useful information, Lu Fusheng asked in an aggravated tone, "Do you have any useful information for conversation?"
"That Jin Longwei brother left in a hurry, but he and I were old acquaintances at the border gate, and they exchanged pleasantries, saying that they went to secretly transfer troops outside the city. ”
Lu Fusheng asked with a puzzled expression: "Secret troop transfer?" is a bit interesting. Did your Golden Dragon Guard brother say which army to transfer?"
"Not really, but according to my guess, the only people who can quickly mobilize and reach the garrison outside Bo'an without anyone knowing about it are the 100,000 elite soldiers led by General He Guangda, who is doing military exercises. Wang Xing reasoned affirmatively.
"He Guang?" Lu Fusheng dragged his chin and searched for this unfamiliar name among the various information recorded in his mind, and finally remembered who this He Guang was.
General He Guangda, who was the king's most trusted military general during the war, was not one of them. The king, who had once been personally conquered, did not choose to sit firmly in the middle army, but chose the most dangerous charging front army. Considering the importance of the king's safety, the king specially ordered He Guang, as the commander-in-chief of the former army, to act independently of the generals of the whole army.
So what Wang Xing said is very likely to be what will happen, in this case, any more than one party is involved in Bo'an City, it will have an impact on the king's safety, the king is suspicious by nature, there are not many people who can be trusted, it just so happens that He Guang is a decent person, and he has never publicly sided with any prince, so at this time, the recall of the 100,000 elite soldiers under He Guang is the most accurate and reassuring decision that the king can do.
In Lu Fusheng's evaluation, Wang Shangzhen can be described as a treacherous and cunning, doing everything just to have a backhand, and while watching his son mess around, he will never put himself in danger. If it weren't for a casual question today, I learned from Wang Xing that there was such an extra force, and some plans in the future would have deviated greatly. It can even endanger your own life.
Between the words, a bell rang from outside the city gate, followed by camel carts and carriages from a distance. A young man in brocade clothes jumped down from the carriage at the beginning of the current head, the young man looked twenty-seven or eighteen, except for a precious brocade robe, without much decoration, and looked very talkative.
After getting out of the carriage, he hurriedly trotted to Lu Fu in front of Shi Li Dao'an, and then said respectfully: "Boss, the money you want has been collected from the shops in various countries. ”。
Before Lu Fusheng could answer, a ball of meat rolled over.
"You're handsome again. ”
Obviously, Wang Fatzi knew the young man in brocade who had just gotten off the carriage and worked all the way, and he came up to "hug his head and kill", and put the head of the young man in brocade under his armpit and said: "Xiao Ziping, you have been fortunate all the way, wait a while and go back to Yipinlou, Lao Tzu will personally cook some delicious food for you." ”
In Wang Fatzi's mouth, he was called Xiao Ziping, a young man in brocade clothes, and Wang Fatzi were selected and trained for Lu Fusheng when he was a teenager, and then grew up to be one of the top ten shopkeepers. Although Xiao Ziping does not have Wang Fatzi to do business, he has a lively brain and is thoughtful. But he is the only one among the top ten shopkeepers who has a cultivation talent, and Xiao Ziping, who has entered the Dao cultivation, is also a cultivator who can take charge of himself under his unique comprehension of the Dao.
"Fuck off, you fat man. I was covered in oil. If you touch me again, I'm welcome. Xiao Ziping was very disgusted and wanted to avoid Wang Fatzi, but Wang Fatman's flesh was not long in vain, and it was difficult to escape from Wang Fatman's arms without using aura, and he was afraid of hurting Wang Fatzi when he used aura.
It's also strange to say that the aura that has been tracking him a few days ago has not appeared around him for several days. But the cautious Lu Fusheng still looked around carefully, realizing that no one was following him, and whispered in Xiao Ziping's ear: "Since you have been transferred, you will do the next thing for me." I'm also content to be free. "It's strange to say, the aura that has been tracking me a few days ago has not appeared around me for several days.
