However, it was said that Lin Hai and others encountered a Confucian student at the foot of Jinggang Mountain, and built a tea shed in the middle of the road. When the curtain was properly placed, a woman opened the curtain, and the Confucian Sheng pushed the door out, came to Lin Hai and the others and bowed to the ground: "Please Lord Lin and the two Mr. Jia drink a cup of wild tea to quench their thirst." ”

Before Jarvis could speak, Jia Cong clapped his hands and smiled: "It's fun!" Sir, are you interested in opening a playground? ”

Confucius was stunned: "What is a playground?" ”

Jia Cong jumped off the horse and said, "It's to build a yard, and there are many things in the yard for children to play." What a Trojan horse, a swing, a swing, a rocker, just play, don't study and don't practice martial arts! He pointed to the tea shed and said, "Give the children some smaller materials, let them build a room like this to play, designate it as fun!" ”

The Confucian said with a smile: "The late life is not here, but I am afraid that I can't." ”

Jia Cong pouted: "It's boring." How much fun. Because he turned his head to look at Lin Hai.

Lin Hai had already come out of the carriage and frowned, "If you don't drink this tea, it seems that you can't go." ”

Confucian Sheng waved again: "Lord Lin, please." ”

Jia Cong pouted beside him: "Uncle, it's very fun!" ”

Lin Hai glared at him, and led the way over, Jia Cong, Jia Weis, and Yang Song followed, and the Confucian student walked a few steps in front to lead the way.

When I got into the tea shed, I saw that the shed had windows on three sides! The curtains were also lifted, and the light was bright. Jia Cong sighed twice and praised, "It's so fine." A few people sat down, and Yang Song stood behind Lin Hai. The bamboo shadow is leisurely, and the green smoke is curling. The Confucian student smiled and cooked tea with his own hands, with an elegant posture. Although it is a wild tea, it is also very fragrant. Jia Cong secretly thought in his heart, this is probably the Jinggang Yunwu Tea in later generations.

The four of them drank tea for a while, and the Confucian said: "Late life is presumptuous and has no malice today, I just want to ask you gentlemen about the general trend of the world." ”

Lin Hai was about to speak, Jia Cong glanced at him, and hurriedly said: "My husband is a gentleman who is silent, my senior brother is getting more and more stuffy, I am the most noisy, Mr. doesn't dislike me for being young, right?" ”

Confucian Sheng smiled and said: "I have admired the name of the third master for a long time, and I will listen to my ears in the late years." ”

Jia Cong said: "The general trend of the world is, I don't know. ”

Confucius raised his eyebrows indifferently.

"There are so many uncertainties and too many variables that it's too early to make any assertions." Jia Cong said, "The farmer planted a row of seedlings, carefully observed each plant, and roughly saw which one had the best growth to produce good rice; However, even an old farmer who has been cultivating the field all his life is difficult to determine prematurely. There are more than 20 possibilities for more than 20 princes, and each of them has many sons and grandchildren, which becomes hundreds of possibilities. If the gentleman wants to choose the master, I will send the gentleman a word: wait. ”

The Confucian squinted his eyes and looked at Jia Cong for a long time, and suddenly said, "I think I have to wait for a long time, can I wait with the third master of Cong?" ”

Jia Cong said: "It's not good. Let's wait for each other, and don't conspire with each other. ”

Confucian Sheng said with a smile: "How does Third Master Cong know that the Tao is different? ”

Jia Cong said: "Blocking the table and tea shed in the middle of the road, forcing us to drink tea with you; It is clear that you are a purposeful person. You have a crush on a lord who lives his life, and when he dies, he supports his son. I'm different. If it weren't for the crowd, I would definitely go around your desk, and I wouldn't be able to go around and change the way, and this is the only way I won't go to Lingnan and go somewhere else. If I fall in love with Liu Bei, he dies and his son is incompetent, I will switch to Sima Yi. ”

Confucius said: "I'm afraid that Lord Lin won't allow it." ”

Jia Cong pouted and said, "I'll coax him." My ability to coax the old man is first-class. Lin Hai glared at him.

Confucian said: "I heard that the third master of Cong is unfaithful and affectionate, what if you teach Liu Chan to grow up?" ”

Jia Cong said: "Will the children I teach be so diligent and want to be emperors?" Liu Bei has more than one son. ”

Confucian Sheng was stunned, and only after a while did he smile and say, "I thought that Third Master Cong would say that you would stay away from the battle for succession." ”

Jia Cong said: "No. I will help Liu Bei make the final decision. ”

Confucian Sheng's face changed.

Jia Cong continued: "Which prince hasn't started to fight yet, the children and grandchildren below have fought among themselves first, and they can basically withdraw from the competition in the world." ”

Confucian was stunned. Ban Yan smiled bitterly: "Third Master Cong knows me? ”

Jia Cong shook his head: "I don't know." But I have already guessed who the king of ten thousand people on Jinggang Mountain is, and it must be his people who can stop us here. And he himself wouldn't do such a middle-second pretending thing, I think his children and grandchildren did it. Nai glanced at Confucius, "It's very naïve." Mr. is not too young, do you really think that such a game can attract our brothers and Uncle Lin to be interested in him? ”

Confucian said: "I have a lot of things I want to say to the three of you, the thoughts of my lord. ”

Jia Cong said: "Needless to say, we don't want to hear it. This gentleman, if you talk like a reed, you can hardly compare with me. I'm almost the same as convincing you, but if you want to convince me, I'm afraid you won't be able to. ”

Confucian said: "My lord has the intention of sending troops overseas to his father. ”

Jia Cong said: "His father is much clearer and wiser than him, and he has a lot of things to consider. Your lord should study first. ”

Confucius frowned slightly, and said after a while: "Third Master Cong thinks it's good to be divided today?" ”

Jia Cong said: "They are the same group of soldiers, and they can bully the people unscrupulously as officers and soldiers under Xu Hong, but they are supported by the people as bandits under Wan Zhang. ”

Confucian said: "It can be seen that the Xu thief is a great disaster in Jiangxi......"

Jia Cong waved his hand and said, "I don't want to go around in circles with you anymore." In a word, I am against the outside, but first the inside. ”

Confucian was shocked: "How does Mr. know?" ”

"The benefits of being together, the benefits of sharing. The first emperor was mediocre in his later years, conniving at the reckless behavior of his ministers, and the people who suffered were not only Jiangxi Province. Now the kings are divided, and there is a great benefit to the people, that is, competitive advantage. ”

Confucian said: "What is competitive advantage? ”

Jia Cong said with a smile: "The biggest disadvantage of the unification of the world is that it is the same as the four seas. How much tax to pay in Shandong, you still have to pay so much tax when you go to Hubei. It will be different in the future. Wu Chu is adjacent. If the tax of Wu is less than that of Chu, the people of Chu will migrate to Wu. Then the population of Chu will naturally decrease, and the king of Chu will be forced to reduce taxes, and the life of the people of Chu will be better. In the same way, merchants who paid less taxes in Wu would go to Wu more often to do business, and Wu would prosper in commerce, and the king of Wu would receive more taxes than before. And talent. Talents who cannot be reused in the state of Wu can go to the state of Chu to seek officials. Unlike in the past, talents who the Son of Heaven didn't like couldn't get ahead for the rest of their lives. ”

Confucius was stunned again.

Jia Cong clapped his hands and said, "What did I say just now?" You're almost convinced by me. Do you want to say that if you are born with a unified and clenched into a fist to fight the Westerners, the chances of victory are better? ”

Confucian nodded: "Not bad." Mr. Jia, please see, we have just built this tea shed, and it will only take a moment. Because the craftsmen have their own abilities, each fulfill their duties, and work together. ”

Jia Cong said: "But this is just a tea shed. What if I want to build 100,000 tea sheds? With the effort you have chosen to train these people, I can simply put the copper coins on my desk. ”

Confucian Sheng smiled and said, "The 100,000 tea sheds may not be as good as the one I built." ”

Jia Cong said: "Your tea shed only gives tea to the four people in the house, and it has to be demolished after drinking." And 100,000 tea sheds can give many people tea many times. A tea shed that can be used for people to drink tea is a good tea shed. As for whether it is elegant or not, it does not matter so much to the traveler. No matter how well a tea shed is built, it is only one. ”

Confucian was stunned for a long time, and said with a wry smile: "Third Master Cong is really a celestial, well-informed, I am not as good as it." But in this way the kings will be divided into kingdoms, and there will be harm. ”

"Yes." Jia Cong said, "A lot. There will definitely be internal friction, scattered resources, pulling each other back, and so on. It's just that now, it has been, passed, and divided. And time is running out, we don't have time to be safe. When you're done inside, outsiders will treat us as outsiders. ”

Confucian frowned and said, "Aren't the Western countries as big as one or two provinces as big as me?" How can there be so many people in a moment? ”

Jia Cong said: "That was in the past. Now they have moved people and encouraged fertility on the land they have settled. Moreover, they can force the people of the countries they occupy to fight for them. When the Jin soldiers went south to attack the Song Dynasty, many of the soldiers were still the subjects of the Song Dynasty not long ago. "Let's not talk about the Han military flag of the Qing soldiers entering the customs and the Korean soldiers of the Japanese invasion of China.

Confucius immediately opened his mouth to say half a word, swallowed it violently, shook his head and said, "I'm afraid that I can't say Mr. Jia, so I still don't say it." ”

Jia Cong said: "Hengzhu, I won't help the son of any prince to take the heir." Please let your lord die first. If he refuses to obey his eldest brother, he can ask Ying to go to sea and use his father's soldiers and horses to lay down a territory, and the place will be his. In the future, no matter whether his eldest brother can dominate the rivers and mountains in the country, he doesn't need to bow to his eldest brother three times and nine times. ”

Two rays of light burst out of Confucian Sheng's eyes, and the corners of his mouth were still smiling: "How does Mr. Jia know that my lord is not the son of the world?" ”

Jia Cong said: "I have seen your son, you are quite calm, and you will not do such a nonsensical thing." Besides, such a knife style is clearly trying to attract the attention of our grandfather. The son of the world is already the son of the world, and he can't make any more eye-catching. ”

Confucian Sheng was silent for a long time and sighed: "Yes." Mr. Jia's ability is higher than that of Brother Ling, and he has no intention of fighting for Rongguo Mansion. ”

"Only the incompetent are infighting, and good men are ambitious." Jia Cong waved his hand with interest, "The younger sons and concubines who don't want to give the eldest brother three bows and nine knocks, fight out!" The world is big, big, big, big! Whoever knocks down is who! ”

Confucian Sheng's brows couldn't help but move, and he smiled bitterly after a while: "I still can't say that the third master is still the third master." Because he looked at Lin Haidao, "Why didn't the third master let Lord Lin have the same theory as the late life?" ”

Jia Cong said: "My uncle is an elder, so it is naturally better for the younger generation to charge forward at this time." If I say something wrong, he can come out and make amends for me. He grimaced.

Lin Hai stroked his beard and smiled: "What Cong'er said is excellent. ”

Confucius sighed again: "After all, it was in vain." ”

Lin Haidao: "So, you also came down from Jinggang Mountain?" ”

Confucius nodded: "I've been waiting for you for a long time. ”

Jia Cong looked at Lin Hai and pouted: "Uncle, you are a Tang monk." The goblins all the way want to catch you! Why aren't there any female goblins? ”

Lin Hai laughed: "Nonsense! After thinking for a moment, he asked Confucius, "May I ask this gentleman ......?"

Jia Cong interjected again: "Do you have beautiful women on the mountain?" ”

"Cong'er!" Lin Hai shouted in displeasure.

"Don't ask stupid questions that people don't want to answer." Jia Cong winked, "It's better not to know many things than to know." He looked at the Confucian again, "It's good for both of us." What do you say, sir? I won't ask you your last name. ”

Confucian Sheng lowered his head and sighed lightly, "What Mr. Jia said is true. "Because he stood up and gave a deep salute," I disturbed. ”

Jia Cong and others also stood up to return the salute, Confucian Sheng personally opened the door curtain, Lin Hai hesitated for a moment, looked at the sky and sighed, Yang Song helped him out. Jia Cong and Jarvis both arched their hands with the Confucian and went out. Immediately, three high-fives were heard, and the group of people came out of the thatched hut on the side of the road, as if it was a movie playing backwards, and quickly dismantled the tea shed, and even took the teapot and moved the table. After a while, only the Confucian student was left.

Lin Hai got on the car, Jia Cong and others got on the horse, Confucian stood on the side of the road and stood with his hands, and the group passed him and left.

Not long after walking, Jia Cong jumped off his horse and got into Lin Hai's carriage. Sure enough, the old man was sulking, and Daiyu was comforting him. Seeing him come in, he hurriedly asked, "What's going on?" ”

Jia Cong said: "Uncle wanted to ask people if Situ Yan was on Jinggang Mountain, but I didn't let me ask." You really can't let go of him, so it's better to sell your old face and beg Yang Erbo to get up. Let's take a trip. He is strong in both skills, and he wants to come to nothing. ”

Lin Hai was depressed.

Daiyu frowned and asked again, "What's the matter!" ”

Jia Cong told Fang Cai about it, and snorted: "I don't know which of Situ Pan's sons is so anxious." I was originally pretending to be from a family, and I like to play the trick of scruffing and bluffing, but he actually played on my head! It's just a big knife in front of Guan Gongmen. "Nai Xiang Lin Haiyi snorted, "The old man wanted to inquire about the Emperor, but I blocked him several times and didn't let him speak." ”

Daiyu said: "Dad, really? ”

Lin Hai waved his hand and said, "I'm old, if you think it's inappropriate, it's inappropriate." ”

Jia Cong said aggrievedly: "Do you always talk about some reasoning? You asked, what if he said he was? We can't save it if we want to. ”

Lin Hai said: "I just want to test it." You all say that the mountains here are steep, easy to defend and difficult to attack, where can you save people? ”

Jia Cong said: "Brother Fang Cai'er secretly sprinkled the seeds of medicine on that Confucian student, which we got from the rest of Prince Yizhong. If you have a better dog, you can find him by following the smell. It's a pity that Wangcai didn't bring it in Beijing. Lin Hai glanced at him. He continued, "Brother Yang told me that the two women in the tea shed were both clever, and their eyes were quietly rolling. Fortunately, everyone said that Jarvis was honest, and they paid attention to me and Brother Yang, and Brother Er'er took advantage of their unpreparedness to hehe......"

Daiyu couldn't help but laugh. After a while, she frowned again and glanced at Jia Cong, as if she didn't approve of it.

Jia Cong said: "It's just, uncle, let's talk about it." If you don't have it, if you can't save it, it's okay. If you are rescued and delivered, you will only be counted as breaking the righteousness of the king and the ministers for you, and you will no longer owe him anything to him in the future. ”

Lin Hai was silent. Lin Daiyu and Jia Cong were silent, and only accompanied them sullenly.

After a long time, Lin Hai gritted his teeth and said, "That's it, I know what you think." If I can get him out of prison, I'll do it. ”
