As a Taoist, Zhuangzi had to doubt the kindness of his father-in-law?

What does the old man mean exactly?

He dragged me to the place of Qiyuan just so that I could establish a base? And then! Slowly develop in that direction, first to seize the Song State, and then to seize the world?

No matter what the old man's intentions are, if he really does that, everything is possible!

Qiyuan is indeed a good place, with a population of tens of thousands and a dangerous terrain. As long as you hold the valley mouth on both sides, you can live here for a long time. It is entirely possible to select nearly 10,000 soldiers out of a population of tens of thousands.

Again! Governing the country with Taoist ideology is not just nearly 10,000 troops, but! All people are soldiers. There are tens of thousands of people here, and there are tens of thousands of troops.

And also! You can grow your own food here, and even if you are trapped, you can grow your own food and feed yourself. And the forces besieging you will not be able to besiege you for several years.

And on their own side! It's not just the lacquer garden! In the Great Zhou world, there were Taoist disciples and Dharma protectors everywhere. Once you develop yourself here, you can comprehensively promote Taoism, and once you have troops, other places will definitely respond. So! It's impossible to be stuck here for long.

Military strength is the foundation of a foothold in troubled times.

Without troops to protect you, everything is empty talk.

With military strength as a guarantee, it is indeed possible to quickly promote Taoism and use Taoist ideas to govern the country. When Taoism was extended to the entire Song Kingdom, the Song Kingdom was under its control. Нёǐуапｇｅ.сОМ

But? Before you can promote Taoism to the entire Song Kingdom, there will be external pressure to force the Song Kingdom King to attack you.

Again! The king of the Song Kingdom will not let you control the entire Song Kingdom, because! This poses a threat to his power. So! At this time, there was no need for the surrounding vassal states to intervene, and the Song State would be in civil strife.

What if the king of the Song Kingdom was very enlightened and let Taoism be promoted in the Song Kingdom?

Just like the Mo family in the Song Kingdom back then, let Moxue become a national culture?

To be sure, that's impossible!

The Mo family back then was so determined to protect the Song Kingdom, finally! was still abandoned by the power holders of the Song State. Even! It is considered to be extremely dangerous. Those in power are constantly worried about you, afraid that you have seized their power.

Judging from the current governance of the Song Kingdom, the current king is not so enlightened at all. He just inherited the power of his father's generation, barely managed to maintain the situation, and enjoyed life.

Since the king of the Song Kingdom will not let you promote Taoism, he will inevitably come to attack you. I can just take advantage of this opportunity to "Zhuang takes Song".

And then! With the Song State as a base area, Taoism could be promoted to the surrounding vassal states. With force as a guarantee, with the rule of mind as an expansion, cultural aggression ......

The idea is beautiful, but the actual implementation is certainly not smooth sailing. All sorts of unimaginable factors are contained in it, and many surprises can happen.

But? Then again, no matter what kind of life you have, accidents are still the same! Even if you don't do this, just like Master, if you travel around the world to spread Taoism, countless accidents will happen. Maybe one day, you'll die inexplicably.

So! Zhuangzi felt that the old man's plan was feasible.

But? Zhuangzi just didn't understand why the old man did this? Is he really good for his son-in-law?

Still is? Is he using you?

Although he had some understanding of Bai Guibai's seniors, when faced with such a big matter, he had to re-examine it.

What is the old man's heart?

Zhuangzi and the old man silently drank a few glasses of wine one after another, and looked at each other again.

The old man looked at him with scrutinizing eyes, waiting for him to make a statement. And he looked at the old man with scrutinizing eyes, trying to see any clues from the old man's facial expressions.

In front of the world's largest businessman and huge wealth, Zhuangzi was defeated, and he didn't see anything from the old man's facial expressions.

"I'm Taoist!"

Zhuangzi had to have a showdown and asked, "Uncle Yue, why did you arrange it like this, why didn't you discuss it with me in advance?" This? For me, it's a little too sudden! ”

"Suddenly?"

Bai Gui laughed self-deprecatingly and said, "I also feel sudden!" ”

"You also feel sudden?" Zhuangzi was even more puzzled.

"How so? Isn't it all for my daughter? Be selfish! It's true! It's all for my daughter Shirayuki! Alas! ”

Bai Gui sighed and said seriously: "I also told you last night, originally!" I'm not going to say anything about the marriage contract to Bai Xue. At that time, I wanted to marry the little girl to you, but wasn't it at that time? Chased behind her ass by Pang Juan? Didn't work out? Born in troubled times, if you break up, you will break up, and you may never see each other again in this life. Maybe! Maybe after we break up, who won't see the sun tomorrow, right? But?

Alas! Who made you meet the little girl again? Who made the little girl like you? Furthermore! You didn't kill my son Shirakawa, and I'm grateful to you. This is not? Bai Xue had a showdown with me, saying that she liked you. No! It should be Bai Chuan's kid, who chatters all day long, and Bai Xue publicly admits it. This is not? I couldn't hide anything in my heart, so I told me about the marriage contract.

Alas! Where to know! I'm entangled in snow! She gave me an order to find you, she wanted to fulfill the marriage contract! Otherwise! She ran away from home and went to you! Alas! I had no choice but to send someone out and inquire about you.

This is not? I heard that you passed through the lacquer garden and returned to the Mojia branch altar in Mengxian County. This is not? I also have a business here in Qiyuan.

In fact! The business here in Qiyuan is not mine! I was the one who helped them, and they considered me the treasurer and were willing to share the account with me. You said? Where will I ask for their money? What do I want so much money for?

This is not? After I inquired about the situation here, I came to the lacquer garden and found that it was a good place, so I came up with this idea......"

Bai Gui told the story of the incident one by one.

"I didn't mean anything else! It's true! Don't be careful! I'm not taking advantage of you! I know! You are a Taoist, Taoists are like this, don't trust others easily! So! I'll be honest with you. That's the way it is! For the sake of my daughter, in order to find you, I have to make this decision. As for my ideas, you can listen to them, adopt them, or you may not listen to them, it's up to you!

But! If you listen? My father-in-law assures you! I am willing to devote all my financial resources to support you! Strong force requires strong financial resources to guarantee! You have soldiers on hand and you can't support them, it's all for nothing!

My husband, me! I can tell you the bottom! With my current financial resources......"

Bai Gui lowered his voice and said, "I can control a country's war!" ”

"A war that swayes a country?" Zhuangzi asked incredulously.

"If I ask the State of Chu to withdraw its troops immediately, the State of Chu has to stop its troops! He had no money to buy food, grass, weapons, chariots and horses, so what good was he if he had soldiers? Isn't it? I'm telling you! At present, the seven major vassal states of the Great Zhou world, I have the ability to make it impossible for him to start a war! You said? If you follow my plan, I promise! Everything went well......"

Really! The wealth of the old man is comparable to that of the country.

No! It's the richest in the world!
