Chapter 260: A dilemma
Life is made up of choices, and different choices determine our different lives. Some choices may seem simple and don't have any impact on our lives, such as when to eat and when to sleep. And some choices may determine our lives in the next moment.
So think twice before acting, it has become a golden and jade good word.
But in fact, no matter how trivial a choice is, under the catalysis of time, it will eventually become a fork in the road that affects our lives.
The lesser of two evils is an excuse to find for ourselves when we are faced with a dilemma. After all, the so-called choice is actually a game of interests.
All the choices we make are based on this.
Now the little nun Jingyuan can't make a break between Tan Fengyi and her master, that's because she hasn't encountered this real situation in reality, and once she does, she will always make a choice. After all, when it really comes time to save one by one, she can't afford to hesitate anymore.
Now Wen Qihang is faced with such a dilemma, when he first entered the WTO, he didn't say that it was someone else's life, or his own life, and he didn't pay too much attention to it.
At that time, no matter what kind of Longtan tiger's den, he dared to break through.
But as time goes by, when the number of people and things you care about gradually increases, the choice becomes more difficult.
Wen Qihang didn't want to implicate Mei Yiqi, Xiaohua, and Shi Shi in the rights and wrongs of the White Lotus because of his own reasons.
After all, Bailian is not a cat or a dog, it is a prehistoric Tyrannosaurus rex that can jump for thousands of years. As long as there is a slight carelessness, even if Zhang Xingqin is killed, the thousands of disciples of White Lotus, even if it is a mouthful of foam, will completely submerge the Jue Mansion.
"Sir, I heard you sing?" Zheng Zhutou asked in horror.
"Ah, sing a song, what's wrong?" Smelling the sail, he was surprised.
"You forgot!" Zheng Zhutou swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
"What forgot?" Wen Qihang frowned.
"You forgot! You only had to sing a song before, and the disaster would ........," Zheng Zhutou said with a sad face.
"That's all feudal superstition." Smelling Qihang said with a dark face.
"Feudal superstition?" Zheng Zhutou wondered. He really hadn't heard of feudal superstition, but he was not so surprised that some new words would always pop out of his mouth from time to time.
"That's what the saints often say, the son is silent, and the power is chaotic." Smell the sail impatient.
"Oh........" It's good that he didn't explain, the more he explained, the more confused Zheng Zhutou became, but he didn't come specifically for this matter, so he didn't continue to investigate, but said: "Sir, Pingdarttou sent someone to bring a letter, saying that it was five thousand cattle and horses, which will arrive in a few days, let us prepare for it in advance." ”
"So fast?" Smelling the sail, he was surprised. There are also 3,000 miles from Kaifeng to the Uighurs, and when you go, you can go faster, but when you come back, you have to drive 5,000 cattle and horses, which is not an easy task. It has been less than two months since the departure from the flat darthead. According to Wen Qihang's original prediction, even if everything goes well, it will take at least three months.
Zheng Zhutou explained: "Sir, don't you know, when Ping Darttou went, he didn't use an ox cart, but a horse-drawn cart, although the size of the convoy has doubled, but the speed is also twice as fast. After all, they also need manpower to drive back 5,000 cattle and horses, and there is no shortage of manpower anyway.
And when I came back, I happened to meet General Pan leading the army to patrol the border, so there were imperial army escorts along the way, so naturally there was no idea of small people who dared to fight these cattle and horses, so it also saved a lot of time. ”
"Oh, this flat dart head looks stupid, I didn't expect it to be very smart!" Wen Qihang smiled.
Zheng Zhutou really didn't judge this, so he coughed lightly and asked, "Sir, where are we going to arrange so many cattle and horses?" ”
Wen Qihang groaned and said, "Prepare the forage first." As for where to put them, we will put them in the cattle and horse market, and we will try to dispose of all these cattle and horses within ten days. ”
"Sell them all? It's a bit of a rush! Zheng Zhutou reminded: "Sir, the current cattle price has not yet reached its peak!" ”
Although the current cattle price has slowed down, but it is still growing, in Zheng Zhutou's view, as long as these cattle and horses are left until the end of the year, the rise in silver is also very considerable.
"It has to be disposed of as soon as possible." Wen Qihang shook his head.
The price of cattle has been speculated into the price of gold, and the main reason why Zhao Lao Er has not gone crazy is that he hopes that the five thousand cattle and horses this time can suppress the market and repair it by the way, those nobles who are full of fat.
If the price of cattle can't be suppressed, I'm afraid Zhao Lao Er will kill someone.
And to be honest, he also hated those nobles. When the treasury was empty in the first half of the year, I expected these nobles to have the money to contribute and make a strong contribution, but those nobles knew that they were crying poor one by one.
If you are really poor, it will be forgotten, but now when you see a profitable business, you will rush to it, and spending money is like a surging river, and it will not be exhausted.
How can this not be annoying!
"With so many cattle and horses, I'm afraid it's not easy to sell them in ten days, right?" Zheng Zhutou frowned.
"It wasn't easy before, but now! It's easy. Wen Qihang said with a strange smile.
Zheng Zhutou reminded stubbornly: "Sir, even if it is almost the end of the year now, it is not realistic to expect the people to buy beef to eat, right?" ”
"Eat beef?" Wen Qihang was surprised: "It's too extravagant!" ”
"Look, sir, you also know that this is a very luxurious thing, and it is impossible for the people to be reluctant to eat it. Counting on those nobles, I'm afraid they won't be able to eat 5,000 cows! Zheng Zhutou hung his head and said dejectedly.
Wen Qihang said angrily: "Eat, you know how to eat!" Did you know that there are large swaths of wasteland in our dynasty, which are all idle because of lack of farming? These cows, sir, I use them for ploughing, not for eating. ”
Zheng Zhutou grinned and said: "Sir, don't you know, the cattle of the barbarians, and the cattle that we plough the land, are not the same kind of cattle. Their cattle can only eat meat, and they cannot plough the land. ”
"If you don't understand, don't pretend to understand!" Wen Qihang pouted and said: "Sir, if I have no way, let the barbarian's cattle plough the land, what do I bother to do with so many cows!" ”
"Sir, what you said is true?" Zheng Zhutou was really surprised this time. Cattle that can plough the land, and cattle that can't plough the land, the value is not the same at all, as long as you master this skill, the future of the Juefu is simply promising!
"Of course what I said is true, sir." Wen Qihang affirmed.
"Sir, you're just turning a stone into gold!" Zheng Zhutou rubbed his stiff cheeks a few times with both hands.
"Sir, do I still have fewer means to turn stones into gold?" Wen Qihang said disapprehantly.
"That's, that's!" Zheng Zhutou patted his ass.
"Alright, let's deal with it." Wen Qihang waved his hand.
"Okay, sir, then I'll go and get busy first." Zheng Zhutou took a step, and turned back with some anxiety and said: "Sir, if you feel depressed, it is better to find Cui'er for recreation, as for this singing, right, I think it's better to forget it." ”
"Get out!" Smell the sail jumped to the feet and roared.
"Sir, you must remember, remember!" Zheng Zhutou shouted as he ran away.
