Chapter 348: Discussion
Wang Siniang guessed correctly, Shen Yue really wouldn't go back to eat at noon, because Shen Yue hadn't seen Ran Wanli yet.
At the moment before he arrived at Ran's Mansion, Liangzhou Xingyuan of Dongchang sent someone to find Ran Wanli, and then Ran Wanli left with the people.
Shen Yue pounced, and then he was sent to the living room by the Ran Mansion, and the tea and pastries were the best.
The people of the Ran family are very discerning, and they know that Shen Yue and Ran Wanli are both thousands of households of the same level, and they dare not slack off in the slightest in etiquette.
Sitting in the living room, the more Shen Yue waited, the more impatient he became, and he could only drink tea continuously.
When it was time for lunch, when the housekeeper of the Ran Mansion invited Shen Yue to eat, he was waved and refused by Shen Yue.
He came to Ran Wanli to talk about something important, but at this time, Shen Yue had no appetite at all, not to mention that he was not hungry in the first place.
So he could only wait, and in order to seek quietness in the back, Shen Yue also sent out all the maids in the living room.
The waiting time was always long, because boredom was even more difficult, so that Shen Yue came out of the back of his sleepiness.
In the past few days since Luyang swept Ganquan, Shen Yue had not rested well, and this was the time when fatigue came up.
It stands to reason that he, Shen Yue, has a deep foundation in the capital, and he has no need to wait for Ran Wanli here.
But Shen Yue is a doer, so many times the matter of face is not in his consideration, so he took the initiative to come to the Ran Mansion.
I don't know how long it took for Shen Yue to hear movement in extreme silence, and then he heard footsteps outside.
The footsteps were heavier, this was by no means the subordinates and female dependents in the house, so Shen Yue guessed that Ran Wanli had returned.
Sure enough, when Shen Yue was looking forward to it, he saw a middle-aged man striding from outside the living room, and the whole person was extremely aggressive.
Ran Wanli was a few years older than Shen Yue, so Shen Yue stood up and said, "Brother Ran, you can make my brother and me wait!"
At this time, Ran Wanli was also a little sorry, I saw him walk into the living room in an official uniform, and after taking off his official hat, he said: "Lord Shen has worked hard all the way, Ran has been rude, and Brother Shen has been waiting for a long time!"
Shen Yue couldn't help but say: "Brother Ran is polite, but I don't know that Dongchang's father-in-law invited you over, and what important things did he explain to Brother Ran?"
After Ran Wanli sat on the chair, he said, "What else can I do, they asked me to send someone out of the customs to find out about the Hu people!"
There are endless mountains on the back side of Yongxi, and the only one that has a handover with the Hu people is only Luoyun Pass, and generally speaking, there will be no major wars.
However, Liangzhou is different, its territory and the Golden Horde are mostly bordered, but there is only a Great Wall as a divider.
Therefore, Liangzhou is extremely vulnerable to the attack of the Hu people, so the situation here is more tense, so Dongchang will urge Ran Wanli to investigate the situation of the Hu people.
Every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, and when he thinks of this, Shen Yue can't help but say: "Lord Ran has worked hard!"
Taking the teacup from the maid's hand, Ran Wanli asked, "Lord Shen arrived at the house today, I don't know what to see?"
Although he knew that Shen Yue was here to drink longevity wine, Ran Wanli also knew very well in his heart that Shen Yue must have other intentions here.
At this time, Shen Yue didn't hide it, and said directly: "I came here today, but I have something to discuss with Lord Ran!"
Under Ran Wanli's gaze, Shen Yue continued: "Presumably Lord Ran also knows that in Yongxi now, the White Lotus Sect has a deep anti-thief force!"
In fact, saying such a thing, Shen Yue was tantamount to slapping himself in the face, but now he couldn't care so much.
I only heard him continue: "Presumably, Lord Ran should also know that the White Lotus Sect anti-thieves have always been a big trouble for the imperial court, and even more worried the emperor than the Hu people outside the Guan!"
This is also true, no matter how much trouble the Hu people outside the Guanxi are, they will eventually retreat outside the Guanwai.
But if the White Lotus Sect rebels take advantage of the chaos to make trouble, then it will be difficult for the court to have a peaceful day, and these people will involve a lot of manpower and material resources in the court.
Speaking of this, Shen Yue also officially stated his intentions: "Today, I went down to the mansion to discuss one thing with Lord Ran, and that is that you and I will join forces to eliminate all the anti-thief forces of the White Lotus Sect in the land of Yongliang!"
Hearing Ran Wanli's words made him feel distracted for a while, and this plan was also very shocking to him.
As Shen Yue said, the White Lotus Sect was deeply rooted in the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and it was extremely difficult to completely clean it up.
So Ran Wanli said: "Lord Shen, I'm afraid this matter is not so easy!"
Of course, this matter is not easy, Shen Yue said: "Although this matter is tricky, if it is really taken down by you and me, the benefits are immeasurable!"
The latter words don't need Shen Yueming to say, Ran Wanli is also very clear in his heart.
The White Lotus Sect is a problem for the court and the emperor, and he has solved this big trouble under his own jurisdiction, and he will naturally be caught when he is promoted and rich.
But Ran Wanli is no longer a young man with a beating heart, and no matter how great the benefits are, he can't change his habit of thinking twice.
So Ran Wanli said: "This matter needs to be decided and then moved, what is Lord Shen's plan?"
In fact, Ran Wanli just asked casually, but who knew that Shen Yue was prepared, and immediately replied: "This official has a charter for this matter, and he is about to discuss it with you, Brother Ran!"
Then Shen Yue listed his thoughts one by one, and listened to Ran Wanli gradually facing up to the matter.
Shen Yue's thoughts can be summed up in a few words, that is, to realize the interconnection of intelligence and jointly fight against the White Lotus Sect's anti-thieves, and all the departments will compress their living space.
To put it more simply, the entire Yongliang Land has turned into a game of chess in the fight against the White Lotus Sect's anti-thieves......
After finishing his idea, Shen Yue waited for Ran Wanli to express his position, and what he said was indeed a very bold idea.
After a long while, Ran Wanli spoke: "Lord Shen, what you said is very insightful, but Ran can't figure it out for a while, I still have to go down and think more about this matter!"
Therefore, no matter how much Shen Yue said it, Ran Wanli was not ready to express his position immediately.
Because this is not only about fighting the White Lotus Sect, but also about taking sides.
Ran Wanli has always been vague about this matter, so he has to consider the chain reaction that will be caused once he cooperates with Shen Yue.
But I have to say that Ran Wanli admires Shen Yue's ambition very much, after all, few people can make up their minds to completely exterminate the White Lotus Sect.
Facing Ran Wanli's answer, Shen Yue was both helpless and felt normal, after all, in the position of a thousand households, few people had simple heads.
"Brother Ran has to think more, it's human nature, and I hope that Brother Ran will be able to deal with this matter in the future!" Shen Yue said calmly.
So, the living room suddenly became quiet, and only the sound of two people plucking the lid of the teacup was heard.
Ran Wanli stopped his movements, laughed and said, "Just talk about business, Brother Shen hasn't gone around in Liangzhou yet, why don't you hunt together in a few days?"
Hunting? Hearing this word, Shen Yue came to nature, in fact, he hadn't played this for a long time.
Shen Yue said: "Although hunting is good, but now that the country is in a lot of trouble, it is difficult for Shen to have the heart to play!"
Ran Wanli said: "Lord Shen's words are wrong, the so-called combination of work and rest is the right way, and blindly being busy with official affairs will only destroy yourself first!"
"Besides, when we are hunting, we can also discuss the matter of encircling and suppressing the White Lotus Sect's anti-thieves!"
Hearing Ran Wanli's latter words, Shen Yue agreed to hunt.
So the two agreed that after the birthday wine in Ran Mansion, they would choose a ranch to hunt on a certain day.
After the two chatted, Shen Yue got up to say goodbye, and Ran Wanli personally sent him to the place where he was staying.
