Chapter 655: Please enter the urn
Zhao Anling saw that he was confident, and hurriedly asked:
"Brother Zong has a plan?"
"Hehe, King Jin's plan can be called a scoundrel, but it is difficult to get into the hall of elegance."
"Brother Zong, don't sell it, hurry up and talk about it, how to break this difficult situation."
"This game is indeed dangerous, but it is not a dead end. First, there is still a day before the alliance, and it must be after February next year, and Hou Ye is still moving around for some time, and secondly, I found out from the conversation with Cheng Jiyuan, the master of the left gate, that the main hall of the Ligong faction is planning to move into Yongxing City in a big way, and I think I might as well set up a plan to send the Ligong into the urn first.
Third, although the Yuke was greatly injured in the first battle in the south, the Hou Ye was a disciple of the Yuke Gate after all, and he had a great favor to the Yuke. Externally, the royal guest also still has to rely on the prestige of the Hou Ye to deter the Jin Xuedi people, and there are many requests for the Hou Ye internally, so the royal guest can be invited to come forward in this matter. ”
Zhao Anling twisted his short beard and thought for a moment and said worriedly:
"But King Jin has a lot of ministers around him, and he must have expected that the Hou Ye is very likely to invite the royal guest, has Uncle Zong ever thought about it?"
"But if we don't know his bad plan, and the King of Jin suddenly blows and forces the King of Xian to cut the land, where will the Hou Ye still have time to move the royal guest. When the raw rice is cooked and matured, there is nothing to be done about it. Therefore, I have devised this plan to preemptively act in secret. ”
"Well, Brother Zong's words are reasonable. Then you and I will act separately tomorrow, I will go to meet the Hou Ye, and Brother Zong will go to the left door first. ”
"Then I'll fix a book immediately, and the virtuous brother will bring it to the Hou Ye for me."
The two agreed, Zong Botai repaired a book overnight, and the next day Zhao Anling carried a letter and followed Jiang Jie to Chenling, Zong Botai counted the time, not early or late, and came to the station of the left gate of the Ligong faction in the east of the city around two o'clock, and Cheng Jiyuan, the master of the left gate, was meeting guests.
"Uncle Zuomen, Mr. Saeki asks to see you outside the hospital." A seventeen-year-old boy said.
"Oh, please get here."
"No."
After the child retreated, Cheng Jiyuan and the person who came gave a simple order, and then took away the items and drawings on the table, and vacated the inner hall for people to prepare tea.
When he was young, Zong Botai came slowly, and Cheng Jiyuan greeted him attentively:
"Mr. Zongbo, how can you have time to walk around the old man's burrow today."
Zongbo Tai gave a salute and said:
"Recently, I heard that some of the children of the Ligong faction have moved in one after another, so I wanted to come and ask the master of the sect for details, so that I can prepare for the allocation of land for building houses and resettlement, so as not to be hasty and ill-prepared as I have come several times before."
"It was for this matter, or Yongxing Hou thought thoughtfully. It's really a shame to say that over the years, if it weren't for the Yongxing Hou to take us in and teach us the art of engineering and arithmetic, my faction would have suffered this great disaster, and I am afraid that it would be difficult to make a comeback, and it would have been possible to meet the grace of Yongxing Hou to have a place for my faction. This time I want to disturb Yongxinghou again, and the old man really can't help it. ”
"Eh, the master of the left door is serious, the Ligong faction and the royal guest are in the same breath, although the Hou Ye is not a royal guest, but he is also a disciple of the imperial guest master Saiqian, and it is natural to help him, and the master of the left door can see this outside."
Zong Botai's mouth was like a honey pot, full of sycophants, and Cheng Jiyuan fell into the trap without realizing it. The two talked for more than two quarters of an hour, Cheng Jiyuan's thatched hut was very simple, but the furnishings were not simple at all.
In the north corner of the inner hall sits a huge hourglass that is more than half a person high, there are scales at both ends of the hourglass, twelve hours are distinct, each hour is separated by four scales, each scale is two quarters of an hour, and the sand is reversed by a special person at noon every day, so the time is extremely accurate.
In addition, there is a kerosene thermometer hanging on the wooden wall under the eaves of the world, corresponding to the corresponding scale, which can know the daily temperature, and the style brought by Baili Yan is everywhere inside and outside.
"Master Zuomen, the main hall of the Ligong faction was destroyed, and I have been wandering for many years, why don't you go to the main hall of the royal guest to find a place to live."
"Alas......" Cheng Jiyuan sighed for a long time, full of depression: "Mr. Zongbo doesn't know, my Ligong faction is different from other sects, either with military guards, or with tongues, but can be treated by princes." I work to build a life, many of the work of the law, must be based on machinery, can be made, now all the belongings are destroyed in the war, hundreds of thousands of people have no livelihood, how to talk about settling down. ”
The Ligong faction is like a huge state-owned enterprise, with a large number of complete sets of original machinery and equipment in the enterprise, of course, for the current Central Plains, it can be regarded as very advanced.
In addition to employees, such a large company also has a large number of family members to support, so the company's factory equipment is gone, and the workers have no money-making jobs.
Of course, the company can go bankrupt and find someone to take it, but the problem is that no one among the princes wants to accept hundreds of thousands of people who eat white food.
There are more than 100,000 people sent by the workers, but only a few hundred of them can be called masters, more than 20,000 children and craftsmen, and the rest are family members and accompanying personnel.
Not to mention that the vassal states themselves have a large number of craftsmen, among the hundreds of masters of the Ligong faction, there are many overlapping professional skills.
The conditions offered by the Ligong faction were not low, so the vassal states that intended to accept the Ligong faction only wanted to pick one or two from each specialty, and they wanted the best, and none of the others, so as to save money and trouble, and not do the wrongs.
As a technical faction that has been passed down from generation to generation, the Ligong faction naturally can't sit back and watch itself being divided by the vassal states, so it would rather take a small family to the fence than sit back and watch the sect fall apart.
Of course, Zong Botai knew very well that the migration of the Ligong faction to Xianguo was ultimately to use the foundation of Yongxing City to restore the financial resources and fixed equipment assets of the Ligong faction, and then make a comeback.
When Cheng Jiyuan poured out the bitter water, Zong Botai took the opportunity to say:
"Master Zuomen, now that the black scarf has not been removed, I am afraid that the Sun Kingdom has fallen apart, and the Central Plains is in turmoil, does your faction have a long-term plan?"
"The head of the house means that Liang is still the son of heaven, and the son of heaven also sent me a very high courtesy, so the head wants to reopen the foundation in Liang country. However, the old man thought that the craftsmanship of Yongxing City was rare in the world, and it was not available to my Gonggong faction. Hou Ye's knowledge is even more ancient and unparalleled in the Central Plains, and he is also willing to teach my school, and Xianguo respects work as the right art, so it is appropriate to build the main hall in Xianguo.
It's just that the strong enemies of the Xian State are surrounded by inevitable turmoil, and it is the lower state of the Jin State, which is really difficult for the leader. ”
"But with the Jin Kingdom as the dependent, adjacent to the eldest grandson, such an excellent location, there is no other in the world. What's in charge? Zong Botai asked knowingly, and the scar was digging deeper and deeper.
"Alas...... Mr. Zongbo didn't know that this Jin Kingdom was no different from a jackal, and our Ligong faction had a deep grudge against it, so how could the main hall be built in a place adjacent to it. ”
"Oh...... There is also this matter, which is lonely and unheard of, can Master Zuomen tell you a little bit in detail. ”
In fact, more than 20 years ago, Wu Shu built a warship for the Jin King Jiwei, the Jin King had promised gold, silver, iron and coal to the Ligong faction, and then because the Jin navy was designed and defeated by Chen Feishi, this account relied on the head of the warship made by Wu Shu, so only a small part of the advance payment was paid, and the rest of the money was not given.
But in fact, the 5,000-stone warship built by Wu Shu was extremely good, and due to the weakness of the Jin army's sailors, it was defeated by Chen Feishi. After the warship built by Wu Shu was robbed by the Black Turban Army, it quickly exerted the great power of this ship, causing great damage to the navigation in the North Sea.
Wu Suan suffered great losses due to the dishonesty of the Jin king, because the components needed for the new 5,000 stone ship built by Wu Suan, the Jin State did not have the processing capacity, and the Ligong sent a large hydraulic forging hammer to forge and form, and then transported to the Jin State.
The Ligong faction paid a considerable amount of labor and technical costs for this, and finally only earned a capital, Wu Shu was punished by the head of the house, expelled from the mountain gate, and was not allowed to return for ten years, and then was taken to the headquarters of the royal guest to live for a long time, until the end of depression in 633 Shengyuan, the money Jin has not been returned, so the Ligong faction and the Jin State have a grudge, obviously will not be willing to be neighbors with the Jin State.
Of course, the migration to the Xianguo was only an expedient measure, on the one hand, the security of the Xianguo, and on the other hand, the economic and technological benefits could be obtained, which eventually drove the workers to move into the Xianguo in a big way.
Cheng Jiyuan explained the reason in detail, and Zong Botai was even more convinced that the Ligong faction had the intention of moving into Xianguo, so he said after some deliberation in his heart:
"Master Zuomen, please forgive me for saying bluntly, the current trend of the Central Plains, the only Yongxing Hou who rejuvenates agriculture and heavy workers, and the Xianguo has changed from weak to strong in more than ten years, all thanks to the skills of Yongxing workers and peasants, and today only farmers and workers can save the Central Plains, who can rule the world.
Now Yongxing City has become a trend, if you can get the help of the Gong faction, the Xianguo Tu hegemony is just around the corner, then the Yongxing Hou and the Xian King will never treat your faction badly, and I hope that the master of the left door can bring the sincerity of the Hou Ye to the head of the family for careful consideration. ”
Cheng Jiyuan suddenly understood Zong Botai's intentions at this time, and hurriedly asked:
"Is this what the Marquis of Yongxing means, or is it the meaning of the King of Xian?"
"Neither the Hou Ye nor the King of Xian, is in the next humble opinion. Presumably, Master Zuomen has been in Yongxing City for many years, and has a deep understanding that Hou Ye treats each other with sincerity and grants your sect secret school without asking for anything in return, only hoping that your sect will be able to pass it on to future generations to benefit the people, and can make a modest contribution to the peace of the world in the future.
Now the king of Xian is benevolent, Shi Liang is educated in the people of Xianguo, respects the Son of Heaven as the lord of the state, and governs the country with benevolence and virtue. And I Yongxing Hou Wenzhi's martial arts are unparalleled in the world, the southern expedition is thousands of miles away to deter the barbarians, the Central Plains in the north town is strong against violence, the royal guest is regarded as the same door, and the Xianwang is regarded as the humerus, and Jing Shanggong and Antaihou have been related for generations, saying that they are relatives far away, and they are close to each other, but they are in the same vein as the prince of heaven.
Master Zuomen, looking at today, who else can be compared with Xianguo. ”
"This ......"
Zong Botai talked about it, and Cheng Jiyuan, who was cheating, was dizzy, and seeing his hesitation, Zong Botai hurriedly said:
"The people of the country are like chickens and dogs, and they regard the small countries of the West Sea as the people of the cheap state, and the people are slaves, and even the folk rumors that King Wei has denounced the people as cattle and horses who are not worthy of living, which shows that the people who defend the country are like beasts.
The eldest grandson is even more of a despicable villain who forgets his righteousness and is greedy, although the country is big, the people have no courage to match, and his generation is not enough to praise the majesty of the Son of Heaven. As for the Zhiguo, it has been like the sunset, its internal and external troubles are riddled with disadvantages, like the eighty old man, half-buried under the loess, if there is no fine iron, salt and other things in my salty country, its national strength is far inferior to the Jin State.
And my Xianguo, abolishing the new law of slavery, promoting education and advocating workers and peasants, everyone has their own land and their homes, and there is still a surplus of food and clothing for a day to support the family.
The general trend of the world is now in front of you, and the master of the left door doesn't care? ”
"This ......" Cheng Jiyuan looked embarrassed, repeatedly twisted his long white beard and thought for a long time and said: "What Mr. Zongbo said is reasonable, on the open-mindedness of governance, the prosperity of workers and peasants, looking at the world, there is only Xianguo, this is the old man's heartfelt words, not flattery.
The old man knows that Yongxing City has a bright future in the future, but the migration of this gate is fundamental, and it still needs to be decided by the master. If Yongxinghou is really sincere, I hope that Yongxinghou can give the old man a detailed explanation, so that the old man can give an explanation to the master. ”
"Please rest assured, Master Zuomen, I will do my best to help bring about this matter." Zong Botai promised, and he was seventy percent sure in his heart.
