Chapter 417: Pang Shiyuan, you are so bold
"Pang Shiyuan!"
At the end of the banquet and after the serial boat was presented, he excused himself and said that he would arrange things at home. Pang Tong, who had come to serve Cao Cao after the arrangement, was stopped when he left the Cao army camp.
Pang Tong, who was sitting in the carriage with his eyes closed, opened his eyes and saw the son of Prime Minister Cao Cheng in front of him, Cao Zijian, who was famous all over the world, actually led someone to stop on the road.
His heart was shocked, and he hurriedly got out of the car and saluted.
"It turned out to be Zijian Gongzi. I don't know what Gongzi told him to find Pang? ”
With his hands behind his back, Wang Xiao paced forward and looked at this phoenix chick who was not so famous, "Where's your spear?" ”
The reason why his reputation is not so high is not because of his ability. But his luck was too bad, and he died on the Luofeng Slope just after he came out to lead the troops. There is a deep suspicion that he is a spearman.
Pang Tong was puzzled, and bowed slightly, "What does Zijian Gongzi mean by this?" ”
Before coming, Pang Tong had carefully analyzed the many generals and strategists in Cao's army.
When Guo Jiayi died and Xun Yu didn't come. He felt that the only person who could see through his strategy was this Zijian Gongzi.
At the previous banquet, Pang Tong had actually been paying attention to Wang Xiao. However, Wang Xiao didn't seem to be interested in him, and he drank alone and didn't say a word about the serial ship.
I thought I had passed the customs, but I didn't expect it to be blocked outside the camp.
His instincts told him that this time was going to be worse.
Wang Xiao looked at Feng Xiao carefully, in terms of the standards of this era, it is indeed an ugly word.
But men don't need to look at their faces, they just have the ability.
After a pause, Wang Xiao looked at him playfully, "Pang Shiyuan, you offer a chain boat and let the prime minister tie all the sailor ships together." When the time comes, none of the fireships will be able to escape. You're so bold. ”
Pang Tong looked puzzled: "What do you mean by Zijian Gongzi's words?" The northern army did not practice the southern boat, and the sergeants could walk like flying on the boat with a chain boat. As for the fireboats and stuff, it's winter, and the northwest wind is blowing on the river. Even if Sun Wu's navy came to the fireboat, it would only burn themselves. ”
Wang Xiao stretched out his hand and motioned for Pang Tong to come with him, "I didn't eat enough at the banquet before, let's sit down and talk while eating." ”
Pang Tong, who was frightened, refused, saying that he still had important things to do. When I come to Cao Ying next time, I will definitely have a good drink with Zijian Gongzi.
"If you let go, you won't come again."
Pulling Pang Tong's next door, Wang Xiao directly dragged him to a clearing outside the barracks.
I had already ordered someone to set up a table of wine and food here, just waiting for Pang Tong to come.
Sitting opposite each other, waving his hand to let the people nearby go away, Wang Xiao poured his wine, "In the land of big rivers and big lakes, there will be a lake and land breeze in winter, which is the wind blowing from the vast water surface to the land. This kind of wind direction does occur along the southern rivers. Northerners may not understand, but you can't fool me. ”
Pang Tong is still struggling, "This matter does exist, but it rarely appears." And this is not the case everywhere. ”
"That's right." Wang Xiao drank a glass of wine, and stretched out his hand with a smile to signal Pang Tong to drink, "You're right, it's true that it's not like this everywhere." But here in Chibi, that's it! ”
"The red cliff is at an angle of 45 degrees, and the cliff is very high. In winter, when the northwest wind blows, there will be a southeast wind when it is reflected, and if it blows a north wind, there will be an east wind, so as long as the wind is together, there will be an east wind. You come first to offer the chain boat, and then come back later. When the night is dark and the wind is high, a fire will be burned clean. Zhou Gongjin deliberately chose the battlefield here, and it is really impossible for smart people in the world to die. ”
Pang Tong's hand holding the wine glass trembled slightly.
He's finally broken.
"Why don't you speak?" Wang Xiao picked up a piece of roasted golden lamb chops, put it to his mouth, and only the bones were left with a sigh, "Aren't you afraid of death?" ”
Pang Tong smiled freely, took a drink from the wine glass, "Life and death are fate, how can you be afraid?" It's just that the ambition has not been rewarded, and it is just a little sad. ”
Wang Xiao continued to get the lamb chops, "Tell me well, why do you want to oppose the prime minister?" Wouldn't it be better to end the war earlier and let the people live and work in peace and contentment? ”
"Ending troubled times is what we seek. It's just that it can't be done by Prime Minister Cao. ”
All the plans were seen through, and Pang Tong simply let it go, "Prime Minister Cao Cheng is unkind and treats the people as nothing." If he wins the world, he will inevitably be another king. ”
"What's wrong with Wang Mang?" Wang Xiao got up and walked over and sat down beside Pang Tong, "He reformed the currency system and the official system, stipulating that the salt and iron official camps, and the mountains and rivers were nationalized. Crack down on the powerful gatekeepers, reduce forced labor taxes, and give the people a chance to recuperate. What's not going well? ”
Pang Tong was really the first time he had heard that Wang Mang was good, and he couldn't react for a while.
When he came back to his senses, he simply said, "Wang Mang's plot is a great rebellion." ”
Wang Xiao was like a curious baby, and asked again, "Why can't you make a man?" Emperor Cheng, Emperor Mourning, Emperor Ping. Political affairs are erosive, and the court is extravagant. Local looting and exploitation, coupled with the large annexation of land by powerful landlords, caused the people to be displaced and live in hardship. The economy is withering, and the people are hungry. Why can't such a big man conspire? ”
"That's because the traitor is in charge!"
"Don't push everything to the traitors, the traitors can't resist so many pots. Without the support of the emperor, how could a traitor be a traitor. ”
Wang Xiao smiled and poured wine for Pang Tong, "In my opinion, whoever can make the people live a good life is a good emperor." If you can't do it, you won't. Prime Minister Cao or Uncle Liu Huang. Whoever can make the people live a good life will support whom. Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize a boat. ”
The Yellow Turban Rebellion was essentially because the Han Dynasty disappointed the people. Therefore, in a very short period of time, it has set off a huge momentum.
Looking at Pang Tong, who was silent, Wang Xiao laughed, "I know, you children of the family look down on the people and don't care. You only care about your own power and wealth, and you only care about whether the world is still in your hands. Therefore, you have to fight with Cao Cheng, even if you have countless casualties for this, you will not hesitate to do so. ”
Pang Tong sweated on his forehead, and repeatedly denied, "No, it's not like this." A certain just admires the orthodoxy of the Han family, and Uncle Liu Huang's benevolence and righteousness are all over the world..."
Is he really righteous? It's just acting online. As for Prime Minister Cao Cheng, he just doesn't want to act. You so-called celebrities, what are you doing, aren't you also acting. ”
Pang Tong clenched his fists and glared at Wang Xiao angrily.
If he didn't know that his force value was not enough, he would probably have to fight hard with Wang Xiao.
Wang Xiao, who had no change in his smile, poured wine for Pang Tong.
got up and patted him on the shoulder, "Pang Shiyuan, if you want to die." The beautiful mountains and rivers here are very suitable as a place to bury bones. If you still want to live, then follow me well in the future and watch how I change the world. ”
A character like Pang Tong, Wang Xiao still admires it. So willing to give him a chance to live.
If he himself is not willing to seize the opportunity, then he can only let it be.
Wang Xiao's detention of Pang Tong naturally couldn't hide it from Cao Cao.
A few days later, Cao Cao approached Wang Xiao and asked him why he wanted to detain Pang Tong.
Doing things like this will make the celebrities and talents in Jiangdong dissatisfied.
"What is this?" Wang Xiao did not directly respond to Cao Cao's inquiry, but placed a set of copper typesets printed with movable type in front of him.
Wang Xiao arranged the shapes of the plates on the desk, brushed ink on them, and covered them with paper. Applying pressure with a ruler, he picked up the paper and handed it to Cao Cao.
"The east is adjacent to the Jieshi to view the sea."
"The water is surging, and the mountains and islands are sturging."
“......”
"This is the lone last year's expedition to Wuhuan class, passing through the Guancang Sea written by Jieshi."
Wang Xiao bowed, and then changed the character block and rearranged the layout.
It was another operation, and then picked it up and handed it to Cao Cao.
"There are righteous people in the Kanto region, and they raise troops to fight against the murderers."
“......”
"The white bones are exposed in the wild, and there is no rooster crowing for thousands of miles."
"One of the people is left behind, and the thought breaks people's intestines."
"This is what Dong Zhuo wrote when he was talking about Artemisia Lixing."
Cao Cao threw down the paper directly, ignored the ink, reached out and picked up the Yangwen anti-text mold, and looked at it carefully.
Wang Xiao on the side finally spoke, "Prime Minister, this is the art of movable type printing. By making a character mold in advance, it is possible to print a large-scale text book by arranging it in a good order. ”
Cao Cao lined up himself and swiped one according to Wang Xiao's previous steps.
Sure enough, it is word-for-word, and the handwriting is clear, and there is no difficulty in reading.
"Good!"
Prime Minister Cao Cheng slapped the case hard, "This is good." With this, there is no need to worry about running out of books again. Zijian, you have a great merit. ”
"Prime Minister, do you know why I want to do this?"
Fiddling with the word mold in his hand, Cao Cao sat down and asked, "Tell me about it." ”
"The so-called recommendation system can only look for talents among the children of those famous families. They raise their own worth and destroy the interests of the country for the benefit of their families. But the prime minister knew this, but he had to use them. Because there is no other option but them. ”
Cao Cao, who squinted his eyes, looked at him and said, "You mean, with this thing, you don't have to be controlled by others anymore?" ”
"The name of the family monopolizes knowledge, and that is because almost all the books in the world are in their hands. Even if the children of the poor family are motivated, they suffer from no chance. ”
"With this movable type printing, books can be copied on a large scale and sold at a low price for the children of the poor family to study. As long as it can persist for decades, there will be no more disasters in the world. ”
Everyone is the same, and no one is born much smarter than others.
has similar learning opportunities, and with the huge base of children from poor families, their chances of producing talents are much higher than those of famous families.
Insist on the promotion and support of several generations, and naturally there will be no shortage of talents.
Since anyone can do things, the so-called famous family will disappear with it.
Cao Cao no longer needs to collect talents from all over the world to help him govern the world.
After being silent for a long time, Cao Cao said earnestly, "You are doing this to start a war with the families of the whole world." ”
As a beneficiary in the current environment, the famous family will inevitably launch a crazy counterattack in the face of Wang Xiao's behavior of directly digging the foundation.
Cutting off people's financial means is like killing your parents.
And Wang Xiao's approach is not only to cut off the way to wealth, but also to dig up the roots for others.
Facing Cao Cao's inquiry, Wang Xiao said with a smile.
"Although tens of millions of people have gone to me."
