Chapter 20: The Awakened

Zhou Yuanchun didn't expect Chang Yu to tell the content of the combat meeting so easily, it seems that Chang Yu has completely trusted him and no longer treats him as an outsider.

And he himself is wary of Chang Yu everywhere, he is indeed a little unkind, and he doesn't want to go, take a step back, if he is not a traverser and does not know a lot of the history of the Qin State in advance, then Chang Yu is likely to be a very valuable and rare friend, at least he has almost nothing to hide from himself.

Among friends, openness must be put first.

Many people take it for granted that between people, interests come first, that is, there are no eternal friends, only eternal interests. This realization, in fact, has misunderstood the original meaning of friends.

As the old saying goes: friends from the same door, friends with like-minded people.

A true friend needs to be like-minded, and it also needs to be calm, so from this point of view, Chang Yu is indeed a rare friend.

Thinking of this, Zhou Yuanchun suddenly had a whim, if there was a mistake in the historical record, how good it would be, not to mention that the writer of the history book did not personally witness that era.

In other words, the so-called official history is not necessarily the record of real history, let alone the truth of history.

Because the official history emphasizes the official recognition, rather than the truth witnessed in person, not to mention that between the recorded history and the real history, there has already been a change of dynasties, and the history writers of later generations are just sifting through various historical materials.

Therefore, the history recorded in the book is by no means the truth of history, although some records are close to the truth, but this situation is not universal, Zhou Yuanchun really does not want the ending of Chang Yu recorded in history to be true.

"If you were Lu Gong, which plan would you choose?"

"At least not the first option"

"Why?"

"Because the first option is too costly and not conducive to implementation, and there are two difficulties in mobilizing a lot of resources to implement, one is that it takes a lot of time, and the other is that there are many variables in this time, which is not a good choice from any point of view"

"Lu Gong thinks so too"

"The real war is about resources and wisdom, and the soldiers who can surrender without a fight are the best strategies for using soldiers."

"Yes, although Lu Gong is a businessman, I prefer to trust his judgment and believe in exchanging the greatest benefit for the minimum price"

"Businessmen tend to know how to use resources better, follow the advantages and avoid the disadvantages, and maximize the benefits of resources"

Chang Yu smiled and said: "It seems that you are the henchman of Lu Gong, today, there are not many people who can know like this, not to mention that these truths are really not easy to say from the mouth of a killer."

Zhou Yuanchun sighed: "Killers are also people, and it is human nature and instinct to follow the advantages and avoid the disadvantages."

"No wonder Lu Gong said that you are strange, the insight and high arguments of the face are not comparable to ordinary people"

"Maybe I'm influenced by Lu Gong, and I personally never do the business of accompanying the book"

"People who do business with this business, unless they are fools, normal people will not do it"

"Do you think I'm a fool?"

"If you are a fool, I am afraid that there will be no smart people in the world"

"And what's so weird about my analysis?"

"Maybe it's because you're too normal that you look weird"

"Why does normal seem weird?"

"Because the vast majority of people are abnormal, just like everyone in the world is crazy, and you are the only one who is normal, then everyone will treat you as a madman."

"If that's the case, wouldn't the world be turned upside down?"

"The world is originally upside down, but the vast majority of people think they are normal, and furthermore, the vast majority of people can only see the appearance of the world, not the essence"

"How so?"

"Don't you find that the vast majority of the power and wealth in the world are actually concentrated in the hands of a small number of people?"

"Just like Lu Gong"

"Yes, Lu Gong is one of the few people who first awakened, because he has awakened, so his insight has surpassed the vast majority of his contemporaries."

"Lu Gong is indeed a seer"

"It's a pity that there are not many people who can really understand him, such as General Meng Fu, although he is a hero of the Four Dynasties and has outstanding military achievements, but his vision and insight are difficult to compare with Lu Gong"

"At this time, General Meng Fu may be old, everyone has a time to get old, and everyone has a time to fall behind, even if it is a generation of famous generals Meng Fu, it is no exception."

"Yes, General Meng Fu is old, and he often competes with Lu Gong on many key issues, which makes Lu Gong embarrassed, and it is difficult to turn his face."

Zhou Yuanchun sighed: "Businessmen have a lot of reasons for soldiers"

For businessmen, maximizing profits is the ultimate goal, so businessmen are known for their greed by nature, and of course, this greed is also criticized by future generations.

The military can avoid this kind of criticism very well, because compared with interests, the military pays more attention to honor, and it can even be said that the war of the military pays more attention to honor, that is, to fight for honor, but this kind of combat method is often based on the premise of "regardless of the cost", and sometimes even misses the fighter for the sake of honor.

Therefore, soldiers often cannot become the planners behind the scenes of war, but businessmen can often have a clearer understanding in the face of various resource scheduling.

Chang Yu sighed: "It has been proved that businessmen are more suitable for governing the country than soldiers, and the Qin State has indeed changed a lot from before under the painstaking management of Lu Gong for more than ten years."

"Lu Gongxiong is very talented, and he is indeed not comparable to his contemporaries"

"When I came out, I was fortunate to meet Lu Gong, so I have today, otherwise, I am likely to be like you, a killer as a career, the first time I saw you, just like the scene I just came out, it looks familiar"

"That's why you fancy me"

"Yes, at first, I thought you were a little weird, just like the Queen Mother and Lu Gong, but the longer I know you, the more I find out that you are another me"

"The other you, like your shadow?"

"By no means, the reason why I say 'you are another me' is not that I think you are my shadow, but that if I hadn't met Lu Gong, I would probably have followed the same path as you, you know my swordsmanship, and I am not below you"

"So, we are friends, not by chance, but by character, and it can even be said that we are the same kind of people"

"Maybe because we all learn swords, although being a killer is not necessarily the only way out for a swordsman, but in this era, it is a good choice"

"However, if you want to go further, you need to know a seer like Lu Gong"

"Why?"

"Because he can bring you the latest information and the broadest horizons"

"Hearing you say that, I really want to see Lu Gong soon"

"After meeting Lu Gong, he is definitely one of the most important people in your life"

"When can I see him?"

"I'll arrange, after all, Lu Gong is not someone who can see him if he wants to"

Chang Yu said it very sincerely, which makes it impossible to question.

Zhou Yuanchun sighed in his heart, if all historical factors are put aside, it is indeed a great blessing in life to meet Chang Yu, and meeting Lu Buwei may be a once-in-a-lifetime event.

The carriage stopped suddenly, someone opened the door curtain, it turned out to be the palace, the sky was already slightly bright, a new day was about to begin, he looked into the distance, the sky was already a morning glow, but in the deepest part of the morning glow, but the wind and clouds were surging, unpredictable......

Zhou Yuanchun suddenly thought that life is like the morning glow in front of him, and no one can foresee what will happen in the future?

If fate is certain, then even if the ending is known, how can the process be controlled?

As the dust of history, the only thing we can do is to face everything calmly, accept everything, and think too much about it is not a good thing.
