Chapter Ninety-Five: Wei Yi
But in such a noisy street market, there is a door that is hidden, and it is quiet inside.
After inquiring about the people in the market, Mink Bo nodded in thanks and knocked on the door.
With a creak, the hidden door slowly opened, revealing the tip of the iceberg of this portal.
Looking at it, this is a courtyard gate, there is a small courtyard about 20 zhang in a radius, there is a green plane tree in the small courtyard by the room, the yard is not stained with yellow mud, all paved with bluestone, some yellowed fallen leaves on the floor, there is a stone table under the tree, there are four stone benches next to it, there are dark green moss under the stone table and stone bench, it can be seen that this family should have few people to come and go.
From the half-hidden vermilion doors and windows of the room, wisps of green smoke are slowly revealed, it can be seen that the family is cooking time, from the noisy street market next to the mink Bo can even hear the sound of the wind blowing the fallen leaves in the courtyard, you can also feel the cracked firewood in the room is burned by the fire...
Walking in, he felt like the whole world was a lot quieter!
"It's a guest from afar, please take a seat first." A loud voice came from the room.
Mink Bo nodded, and sat down on the stone bench with the guards. However, the guards knew the difference between dignity and inferiority, and spontaneously stood behind Mink Bo and waited.
After a while, a middle-aged man and a teenage girl walked out of the room.
The girl took a tray in her hand with a few herbal teas on it, bowed to the mink and a few people, then accepted the tray and spontaneously retreated.
The middle-aged man went straight down and pointed to Mink: "It's a guest from afar, please drink tea." ”
Mink Bo carefully looked at the middle-aged man, wearing a pale cyan coarse cloth robe, his face was dark and wrinkled, it looked like a sign of working in the land all year round, and the knuckles in his fingers had thick calluses, this was not a pair of hands practicing swords, it was a grip mark when holding farm tools all year round, and the legs were naturally not very tightly separated, which was different from the tight legs that the nobles had cultivated by kneeling and sitting all year round.
Although he didn't understand what the prince wanted him to do with this old peasant, even if this old peasant still revealed his ordinariness, he didn't find any difference from others!
After drinking some tea, he said tentatively: "Dare to ask Mr. Wei Yi?" ”
The middle-aged man nodded, lifted his sleeve wrist slightly, took out an arm-length cigarette from his waist, took out the flint from his arms, lit it, and smoked it.
The smell of smoke was so loud that he didn't notice that the old farmer was still holding such a long smoking gun.
Slightly surprised, he asked again: "Dare to ask Mr. Wei, do you know how to govern the country?"
"Yes." Wei Yi spit out white smoke, smoked it again, and said vaguely: "The way to govern the country, what's so difficult about this?" ”
Diao Bo carefully looked at Wei Yi again, his swarthy face was a little disdainful, his two long eyebrows were raised to both sides, and his calloused thick black hands pinched the cigarette pouch, but unfortunately he hadn't noticed any difference in him.
"Dare to ask what is the way to govern the country?" Diao Bo said to Wei Yi.
Wei Yi raised his eyes and glanced at Mink Bo, took the cigarette gun from his mouth, shook it at the edge of his shoe, and then said solemnly: "This governing the country, cough cough, is like growing food, the legal system is like a ditch and ravines when sowing seeds, and the king's majesty is like the living water drawn by the ditch, the water is thin, and the country is like the seedling, it is difficult to grow!" Looking orderly, in fact, the seedlings had already been burned to death by the drought. The taxes of the country are like seedlings, and when they are thickened, they will have more grain, and if they are thin, they will not be enough to eat..."
Wei Yi was about to continue, but was interrupted by the guards behind Mink Bo, who shouted angrily: "How can this way of governing the country be compared with the farmer's grain cultivation!" ”
Mink Bo, who was immersed in it, was interrupted abruptly, glanced at the guards unhappily, and first said to Wei Yi: "The king's high theory, Mink Bo has really learned a lot. ”
Wei Yi waved his hand indifferently, put the extinguished cigarette stick in his mouth again, and seemed to be reminiscing, and said: "What this little brother said is good, governing the country!" People like me can't get involved. ”
Although this sentence was peaceful, Mink Bo heard a little displeasure from it, and he immediately scolded: "Go back and get the punishment yourself." He turned to Wei Yi and smiled: "Mr. Wei, dare to ask me what is the nursery of Qi Kingdom?" ”
The guard also seemed to hear a little bit of the smell, and his face was slightly red, and he looked a little ashamed.
"Qi Guo's?" Wei Yu snorted a few times in his nose and said: "Looking at this crop is good, but there is no soil demarcation next to it, it looks like it belongs to your Qi country, but it may be from that country." ”
Mink Bo heard a little meaning from this sentence, that is, the country of Qi has no danger to defend, although the country of Qi is big, but it is allowed to be eaten by people.
"How's it going?" Mink asked.
"Good or bad." Wei Yi closed his eyes slightly and leaned against the tree.
"Please explain, sir?" Diao Bo bowed to Wei Yi.
Wei Yi snorted coldly and said, "This nursery hasn't been planted yet, and some people are trampling on it!" Although the land is good, the harvest will definitely be affected. If it's good, the soil is fertile, and there is a possibility of a good harvest next year. If it's not good, it depends on how the monarch is, the land that lasts for a long time and does not continue to water, no matter how good it is, it will slowly become barren! ”
Mink Bo nodded, which means that the hegemony of the Qi country was damaged because of the five kingdoms of Qi, that is, the nursery was trampled on indiscriminately, and the land was good, which means that the Qi country is rich. There is the possibility of a bumper harvest, but it depends on the king's approach, the king blindly comes, and the Qi country is like not being irrigated by ditch water, it will slowly become barren and decline.
"The king must be the lord of the United Kingdom, and he has the ambition to shake the kingdom again!" Mink said this firmly.
"The current King of Qi?" Wei Yi showed a disdainful smile and said contemptuously: "He can keep it, and he wants to open up more wasteland." It's like the water from a ditch can only get one acre of land, but he has to take the second acre of land. At that time, all the crops will be half-dead. ”
"No, I'm not talking about the current King of Qi." Mink Bo shook his head and chuckled. He also thinks that the current King of Qi is still a wise lord, but if he wants to make the Qi State return to the road of hegemony, Tian Fazhang is still close.
Wei Yi's eyes suddenly widened, revealing a look of surprise, and then narrowed slightly again, and said, "It's not King Qi, is it... The crown prince of the state of Qi was built. ”
"Yes, but it's really the prince." Mink affirmed.
"Prince Jian?" Wei Yi was a little interested in his heart, but he said instead: "It's time to eat, please eat." ”
