The air outside the secret room is a little stuffy, the autumn wind has begun to gradually cool, and standing in the shade of the trees is even more indescribably comfortable, and the apple trees are full of fruit, sending bursts of fruity fragrance. Yang Chong opened his hands comfortably, stretched his waist, and looked at the refreshed Meng Tuo, feeling a little strange in his heart, how could he not have discovered Meng Tuo's ability before, and almost missed a thousand-mile talent.

At present, there is no shortage of capable people under Yang Chong, Sikong Xing, Jiang Duo, Pang Huan, Tianqi and others are almost all the characters who stand alone, but there is a lack of strategists who turn their hands into clouds and cover their hands for rain, and the appearance of Meng Tuo really makes Yang Chong overjoyed. Yang Chong understood after a little thought, Meng Fu was the same as Jia Xu, a poison warrior in the Three Kingdoms, good birds chose plants and trees to perch; Jia Xu was not conspicuous under Dong Zhuo and Li Dao, and later defected to Zhang Xiu and Cao Cao to shine.

Similarly, when Meng Fu took refuge in himself, he was just an official who could make money, and even though he was talked about in terms of property and business, he had no ambition to swallow mountains and rivers, or he could not see that he had such ambitions. Meng Fu naturally knew that with him or not, it would have no effect on him; This time, Meng turned back and saw that he had secretly gathered masters and established various measures in the other courtyard, so he became interested and willing to show his hand.

Maxima is often there but Bole is not often, there is no shortage of talented employees in this world, what is lacking is an aspiring boss. Yang Chong secretly called it a fluke, if he had been in business to make money, Meng Fan's casualness would never change, and in a few years when the world was in turmoil, he was likely to defect to the righteous army; Of course, judging from the obscurity in history, Meng Fu did not defect to the Ming Lord, or he just joined the uprising and died in front of the battle.

Yang Chong's heart was tight, in the troubled times, he was thousands of miles away, starvation was everywhere, human life was cheaper than corn and cloth, how many talents passed by like meteors, and disappeared in a blink of an eye, and more people didn't even have a chance to shine. Meng Fu had been observing Yang Chong and asked carefully, "What is the head of the family worried about?" ”

Meng Tuo was just curious when he heard Feng Qiquan lobby to go to Hanchuan at first, but it wasn't until he saw the amazing Tianlei performance that Meng Tuo had the idea of following Yang Chong; Meng flipped through a wide range of books, of course, he knew that the Taoist legend of the Thunder Fire Pill was an explosive thing, but there was no production method in the classics of Louguan, and he had not heard anyone say that he had seen it. After Yang Chong returned to Chang'an, Meng Chuan was sent by Yang Chong to be responsible for oil research and exploration many times, and every time he returned to Chang'an, it was refreshing.

Yang Chong didn't want to hide it from Meng Fan, some things were too aggrieved to hide in his heart alone, Yang Chong looked at no one around, and said in a low voice: "I'm worried that there will be a big chaos in the three or five years of the Great Sui." ”

Meng rolled his eyes and said: "The peak is followed by the trough, the Great Sui has climbed to an unprecedented height after this Chang'an Conference, it is normal to flourish and decline, the problem is that the head of the family has this premonition, and how to deal with it is the key." The cause of the chaos in the world must be the war in the disaster year, does the head of the family plan to scatter all his family wealth to help the people in the world, or do he start a career because of the time? ”

Scatter all your wealth to help the people of the world, what are you kidding, do I have the ability? Yang Chong looked at the strategist with high hopes with some dissatisfaction, and Meng smiled and said: "The head of the family is now in a contradiction, so he has been making preparations with both hands, not only constantly collecting money, but also gathering like-minded people at the same time. The Mohists advocate the love of the world, the so-called 'officials are impermanent, and the people are not cheap', and the chaos is the moment to change the pattern of the rich and the poor, so that the head of the family has the opportunity to realize the ideal of 'the hungry get food, the cold get clothes, and the laborers get rest'. ”

Yang Chong couldn't help but cheer in his heart, what is the vertical and horizontal theory, I finally saw it today, Meng Fu casually covered Yang Chong's behavior with a halo of the Mo family, so that Yang Chong had the feeling that he was standing on a moral high ground. No wonder during the Three Kingdoms, when Liu Bei saw Zhuge Liang, he said that he was like a fish in water, and Yang Chong felt that the depression in his heart was released at this moment, and countless thoughts came one after another, and he had the desire to vomit to others.

Yang Chong stabilized his mood, motioned for Meng Fan to sit down on the stone bench under the apple tree with him, and asked, "In your opinion, can I do better?" ”

Yang Chong is not a god, there must be something that is not thoughtful; Meng Chuan is satisfied with Yang Chong's attitude, he is already famous all over the world at a young age, and he can ask humbly, such a boss is almost perfect. Meng Fu pondered and said: "The head of the family is circling among the scholars, and he already has a place, but Chang'an is full of powerful people, and there is the Holy Son of Heaven in charge, in fact, what you are doing now has reached the limit, and you can only wait for the opportunity." If there is an opportunity, it is still necessary to develop in other places, and the caravan is a good model. ”

Yang Chong's state has returned to normal, and he agreed: "I asked Liu Hongji and them to come over with this idea, not only the caravan has huge profits, but also the main thing is to train the team through the caravan." However, after the Battle of Handchuan, we formed a bond with the Chijin Turks, and I am afraid that the caravan heading west will be plotted, not necessarily by horse thieves, but also by the government and scholars in a certain place. ”

Meng Chuan said disapprerovingly: "Those who become big things are not informal, and the head of the family will always encounter all kinds of challenges along the way, whether it is the Chijin Turks or the Sui Hantang, since it is inevitable, it is better to take the initiative to face the battle." The next time the caravan goes to the Western Regions, Meng is willing to go along. ”

The so-called strategist is to use it, and what cannot be used is to talk on paper, Meng Chuan offered to act with the caravan, which immediately made Yang Chong's favor greatly increased. Yang Chong was happy, and secretly reminded himself that the better the strategist, the easier it is to bring people to the ditch, and said with a smile on his face: "That's great." I'm thinking about waiting for the ship from the East China Sea to come, and forming a caravan to move with Yu Qintao, so that I can take care of it on the way. ”

Calculating the date, the fleet of the bearded man Zhang Bojian should also have arrived, and when Sikong Xing was in Yangzhou, he discussed with Zhang Bojian's steward, in addition to the jewelry and spices on the sea, but also a part of the porcelain and silk lacquerware in the south of the Yangtze River. Meng Chuan asked curiously: "Why does the head of the family trust Zhang Bojian so much?" ”

Yang Chong smiled and said: "Zhang Bojian is the brother of the Red Whisk Girl and Li Jing, he is a proud and ambitious person, he is a sea merchant, and he agreed with me to sell me all the goods to Chang'an." ”

Meng flipped to the south and the north, naturally knew that the maritime merchants were pirates, to put it bluntly, Yang Chong was actually helping Zhang Bojian sell the stolen goods, unless the ship did not reach Chang'an, as long as he docked, Zhang Bojian had no way to regret it. From another point of view, Zhang Bojian has a business partner like Yang Chong, how could he give up for no reason, after all, selling stolen goods is also risky.
