Wang Dashao looked at the table full of delicacies from the mountains and seas, and then looked at the dark red wine of the Western Regions in the cup, and couldn't help but fall into deep thought. Of course, what he wondered was why this young man who called himself 'Qi Yan' asked himself not to delve into the word 'luxury'.

"You still don't understand that? Good ......"

Shen Gui looked at Wang Xu, whose eyes were a little dull, and couldn't help but pull the corners of his mouth. Then he picked up a chopstick with his backhand, pointed to the delicacies on the table, and explained to Wang Dashao like a few treasures:

"This dry-roasted large yellow croaker alone is concocted from the East China Sea of the Northern Yan Dynasty. The characteristic of the large yellow croaker is naturally the tender meat in the shape of garlic. However, because this kind of big yellow croaker dies when it comes out of the water, and the transportation distance is long, if you want to eat such a Qilu delicacy in this Fengjing City, in addition to spending a lot of silver, it also depends on the skill of the cook. Brother Wang, you said, in this way, this dry-roasted big yellow croaker, is it a little more luxurious than the cup of grapes in your hand? ”

I really don't know if I don't listen, and I'm shocked when I hear it! Wang Yu originally just thought that this dish was exquisitely shaped, with good color and taste, and he knew that it must be expensive when he looked at it; But he never imagined that just such a fish dish would be so tortuous and difficult to concoct. In this way, the value of this fish should not be lower than that of the grapes of the Western Regions......

"Hehe, it's a surprise, isn't it? Wang Dashao, it's not that Qi intends to show off, but if you want to eat a bite of this dry-roasted big yellow croaker, you have to take out at least thirty taels of silver. At this sky-high price, not counting the master's craftsmanship money! ”

This time, Wang Dashao was completely shocked! He originally thought that he, the son of an official family with a high rank, was already the leader of his peers in Fengjing City; But now it's such a simple dish, let alone eating, I haven't even heard of it! It seems that this Qi Yan brother is by no means as simple as he shows......

"Brother Qi likes food, and he has plenty of money, so he can naturally enjoy such extravagant things; But does Brother Qi know that the value of such a fish is just the value of ordinary people in Youbei, and all the income of the past two years! If you can hold back your appetite for a while, ...... this money"

"I understand, I understand, Wang Dashao means that the people of Youbei live in poverty, if I can give up the desire to enjoy this appetite and save all the money to help the poor people, maybe I will be able to live a few more miserable people?"

Shen Gui smiled, took a bite of the fine meat on the fish's tail, tasted it carefully, and then looked at the 'high-profile' Wang Zhi with a smile.

"Wang knows that this is inevitably suspected of being generous to others......"

Brother Wang's words, although there is a slight hint of talking with his hands in his hands, does not lose the true character of the gentleman who is willing to be poor in Shilin students. However, just like this fish, the thirty taels of silver that Shen paid for him didn't just go into the pockets of the owner of the club. Far from it, let's just say that the fishermen who caught this fish, and the boatmen who brought it, their families had to eat, drink, and clothe, but they were all included in the thirty taels of silver; In addition, the deed, title deed, salary, commercial tax, various respects, etc., etc., etc......., etc. You calculate, if you look at it this way, how many people does Qi's thirty taels of 'extravagant silver' indirectly feed? If it weren't for Qi's appetite, how many people would starve to death? ”

These words can be regarded as completely stunned Wang Zhi, who has been trapped in the 'ivory tower' for 20 years!

Shen Gui is also a person! If you talk about 'bluffing people by talking big', at least it is from his ancestors of Wang Huainan! Wang Dashao is called stealing chickens, but eating rice. He originally wanted to rely on his three-inch incorruptible tongue to gather these market gangsters under his command, and wave the flag and shout for himself, and drum up the momentum; Unexpectedly, I just chatted a few words, but I was brainwashed by 'Qi Yan' who didn't even know his real name and surname!

Shen Gui saw that he had a 'dead' look, and stretched out his hand again and patted him on the shoulder:

"Brother Huainan has studied hard under his master for more than ten years, and to this day, it can also be said that the sword body has been completed, but it is only quenched; What's more, what Brother Wang thinks in his heart is also the way to benefit the people; It's a pity that the target of Brother Huainan's hatred has been wrong......"

As soon as Wang Zhi heard Shen Gui's words, he immediately came back to his senses:

"Oh? I don't know what Wang's mistake is? ”

"This extravagant thing is not the same as extravagant things. To put it simply, the 'luxuries' we enjoy today are not the main culprits of the people's poverty, but the way of life for many people. It's like saying that the salt that goes with this meal is a seasoning that everyone uses, right? But it is addictive and profitable, but why doesn't anyone hate salt? It's all because salt is a thing that can bring great wealth to the traffickers, but it is not harmful to others. If you eat too much salt, your mouth will be dry at most, but it will never hurt people's lives; Just like this fish and this pot of wine, not only is it harmless to people, but it can also feed the family and stimulate business prosperity, so what is the crime? However, there is another luxury, which is the evil spirit that kills people without spitting out bones......"

Speaking of this, Shen Gui looked at Wang Gui with a solemn face, and Wang Zhi also seemed to wake up, looked back at Shen Gui in a little panic, and asked reflexively:

"What?"

Shen Gui seemed to want to speak just now, but then as if he remembered something, he couldn't stop talking. In the face of Wang Xu's questioning, in the end, he just shook his head and sighed, and then raised his hand to fill Wang Xu's wine glass:

"I'm not going to talk about these things. Thinking of Qi is just a wild dog begging for a bowl of rice on the streets of Fengjing; And Wang Dashao, although you are a child of a family, you are just an ordinary man who has not yet entered the court as an official; You and my brothers have no control over such a big matter, and they can't manage it. It's better to drink more wine and forget all those troubles; Just wait for the three roads in the north to turn into a purgatory on earth in the future, and I will have another place to beg for a living, and leave it alone...... Leave it alone......"

Shen Gui changed to a disheartened tone, patting Wang Dashao's shoulder vigorously, while looking up at the golden roof of the Huiyou Building, tears welling up in his eyes. Looking at that look, how sad and sad it is. However, if He Wendao or Fu Yi were also at the banquet, it could be seen at a glance: whenever Shen Gui's appearance appeared, it meant that this young master of the Shen family, who also 'eats people and does not spit out bones', is ready to deceive people.

No matter how talented and intelligent Wang Dashao is, he is not the opponent of Shen Gui, the old Jianghu, after all. In the face of this 'world-minded' marketman, he also gave birth to a trace of real heroism in his chest.

"As a man, my generation has read the books of sages since childhood, cultivated the spirit of Haoran, and imitated the methods of the ancient sages to help the world, all in order to save the common people from fire and water. Thinking of my Youbei Third Road, the climate is bitter cold, and the people's livelihood is poor and withered; In addition, in recent days, the war between the two norths has just been extinguished, which is an opportunity to be revived; On top of this important joint, if such harmful things flow into the territory of the north, how can we, as disciples of saints and sages, be taught by the sages, and turn a deaf ear and allow this thing to harm the people of the village? I also hope that Brother Qi can explain the origin of this thing in detail to Wang Mou. And Wang is also willing to follow the example of the ancient sages, give up this good head, and vow to protect the integrity of the people of my Youbei! ”

Wang Dashao said heroic words full of righteous indignation, and at the same time slammed his chest! As soon as he heard Shen Gui's words, he had a strong premonition: The time has come for me Wang Huainan to become famous! If such a crisis can be resolved with just the body of a gentleman, then the name Wang Zhi will definitely be like Yan Chongwu, resounding in all corners of Youbei Third Road.

Moreover, what this 'Qi Yan' said sounded like it was only related to the merchant's trade routes. This time you don't have to use knives and guns, and your life is not in danger; Second, even if he is soft-spoken, he can't solve it for a while, but there is a Shangshu father in his own house; Before his son got on the horse, his father helped him, which was not embarrassing.

"This matter is extremely dangerous, if Brother Wang doesn't know the reason, he may be able to protect his own thoughtfulness......"

"Brother Qi must not persuade again, the gentleman is cautious and does not deceive the dark room, since Wang already knows about this matter, how can he pretend not to know? This kind of self-deception is definitely not the work of Wang."

Shen Gui looked at Wang Dashao, who 'threw himself into the net', and his face was full of extremely sincere admiration:

"Since Brother Wang insists on doing so...... This is not where the speech is, Wang Dashao, you will come with Qi......"

As a result, Wang Dashao, who came to 'gang up and failed, but was brainwashed by Shen Gui', was dragged by the mysterious 'Qi Yan' to a secret box on the second floor of the Huiyou Building, and listened to Shen Gui tell a detailed story from beginning to end.

Just as the two were talking in the box, Guo Xing, the defeated general of the Li family's grain transportation team, finally stepped into the territory of the Mobei grassland. Of course, with him came Pei Ya, the governor of Zhongshan Road, who was 'heroic and heroic, and rode into the camp alone'.

"Smack......

Guo Xing, who had chapped lips, waved his right arm and slapped it vigorously on his neck, making a crisp sound:

"This Mobei grassland with abundant water and grass is really refreshing to see...... It's just that this mosquito is really poisonous, we have just stepped into the territory of Mobei for less than half a day, and Lao Tzu is almost sucked dry by these little things......"

Guo Xing, the young marshal who was originally fit, with red lips and white teeth, has now become a savage who came out of the deep mountains and old forests after a 'escape journey', and his whole body stinks, how can there be any shadow of the gentle young man at the beginning?

And Governor Pei Yapei, who was 'captured' by him, also kept shaking his arms at this time, intending to drive away the poisonous mosquitoes that kept pounceing on his face.

"Now that you're safe, it's time to talk about Pei, right? If you want to kill and release, hurry up and give a happy word. Always dragging me to escape for my life, what's going on? ”

Guo Xing, who kept scratching on his body, immediately turned around when he heard the words, and directly pulled out a Pu knife hanging from his waist. This simple knife was originally worn by the dart master of the Hailin Dart Bureau, and it is the most common standard saber in the dart industry.

Guo Xing drew a knife in his hand, walked around behind Pei Ya in a few steps, raised a kick and kicked Pei Ya's leg socket, and after Pei Ya fell to the ground in stress, he stepped directly on his head, and the cold blade was tightly attached to Pei Ya's throat:

"What Pei Du said is reasonable! Just taking a governor of the northern part of the country like this will sooner or later be a scourge. Pei Du, what are your last words? ”
