Chapter Eighty-Seven: The Treasure Found by Ning Xiaowu

"The craftsmen of the Mo family assist us in Phoenix Fort, we give us five times the market price, we are an employer and an employee, you can't develop members in Phoenix Fort!" Wei Xing said coldly.

The last sentence directly shattered the passion in Shi Yan's heart and made Shi Yan very frustrated.

After a while, Shi Yan cheered up and asked very dissatisfiedly, "I don't know why Gongzi Wei is so resistant to our Mo family like this?" ”

"Your Excellency Shi Yan, please forgive me, Wei is not at ease with any organization, not only your Momen family, but also Legalists, soldiers, Confucianism, Buddhism, Taoism, *** religion, etc., all the same here!" Wei Xing bluntly stated his opinion.

Hearing this, Shi Yan felt a little better in his heart, and kindly admonished: "Wei Gongzi's words seem to be a bit extreme!" Any organization must be supported by an inner soul mind; Otherwise, no matter how powerful it is, it won't last long. ”

Wei Xing immediately applauded and said, "It's very good, the hero sees the same thing!" ”

"However, there are always deficiencies in the words of a family, and it is the right way to take its essence, discard its dross, and use it with the strengths of each family!"

Shi Yan was stunned for a moment, then changed color and asked, "Could it be that Gongzi Wei is a member of the miscellaneous family?"

Miscellaneous, a philosophical school from the end of the Warring States period to the beginning of the Han Dynasty in China, is known for its eclectic collection of opinions; It is characterized by "Confucianism and ink, and the law of co-naming", and "the way of a hundred schools of thought is all connected".

The Book of Han? Art and Culture Chronicle listed it as one of the "Nine Streams".

The emergence of the miscellaneous family was the result of the integration of ideology and culture in the process of establishing a unified feudal state.

The miscellaneous works are represented by the Warring States Period's "Corpse", the Qin Dynasty's "Lü's Spring and Autumn Period", and the Western Han Dynasty's "Huainanzi", which are respectively collected by the Shang Dynasty during the Warring States Period, the Qin Prime Minister Lü Buwei and the Han Huainan King Liu An.

Wei Xing shook his head lightly and said, "Wei really wants to learn from the famous teachers of the miscellaneous family, but it is a pity that after Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the various families have fallen into decay, and Wei has not seen the disciples of the miscellaneous family for the time being!" ”

After hearing this, Shi Yan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then scolded: "This is all the sin created by Liu Che, the tyrant of the Liu family!" ”

Wei Xing was very surprised in his heart, the first time he heard that someone called Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, a tyrant, and listening to his tone, he seemed to be eager to peel his skin, eat meat, and drink his soup!

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty in history was known for his "eloquence and strategy" and was known for his outstanding martial arts;

Among the hundreds of emperors of all dynasties, even if his exploits cannot be ranked in the top three, they must be within the top five!

Wei Xing thought about it carefully, and the decline of Mojia and other theories was directly related to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's adoption of Dong Zhongshu's suggestion of "promoting the Kong clan and suppressing the hundred schools";

As a disciple of the Mo family, Shi Yan scolded Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty for respecting Confucianism, which seems to be understandable.

In front of Shi Yan, a disciple of the Mo family, Wei Xing didn't say much, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che adopted Dong Zhongshu's suggestion back then, and he had his own reasoning!

"Your Excellency Shi Yan, you have your own reason, I also have my own reason, you Momen want to get what you need, unless!" Wei Xing deliberately didn't finish his words, left a tail, and smiled indifferently at Shi Yan.

"Unless anything, please finish your words first!" Shi Yan asked anxiously.

When it comes to Momen's vitality, Shi Yan has lost his usual calm heart and fallen into Wei Xing's rhythm.

"Unless Momen is willing to comply with Childe's two requests!" Wei Xing said coldly.

Shi Yan casually took a sip of tea, regained some of his senses, and urged: "Please don't sell Guanzi Gongzi, you can finish it in one go!" ”

"Okay, Wei just say it directly! First, if Momen wants to join Phoenix Castle, he must correct his mentality, I am the real master of Phoenix Castle, from beginning to end! ”

"I don't have the habit of luring wolves into the house and opening the door to thieves!" Wei Xing touched his nose and said coldly.

Chao Gai, the king of Tota who is righteous and squandering wealth, and righteousness is thin and cloudy, invited Song Jiang, but the power has fallen, and it is too late to regret it when he dies!

Zhai Rang, who is brave, resourceful and courageous, accepted Li Mi, who was chased and killed by the official army, and maintained it for reuse and entrusted everything, but later was attacked and killed by Li Mi, who was mainly an anti-guest!

If there is really a netherworld mansion, Zhai Rang must have regretted his own move of taking in and reusing Li Mi in the first place!

Emperor Cao Pi of Wei Wen and Emperor Cao Rui of Wei Ming entrusted Sima Yi twice, which eventually led to the abolition of the young Emperor Cao Fang's imperial power and the destruction of Cao Wei Sheji!

、、、、、、

All kinds of cases alerted Wei Xing's uneasy nerves, he didn't dare to let the power of Phoenix Fort fall out at will!

It's not about trust, loyalty, competence, etc.!

Because the end of power is often death!

Don't test human nature, human nature can't stand the test, especially in the vortex of power, and even more can't withstand the temptation of the taste of power!

"Although Wei Gongzi can rest assured, the Momen has been inherited for nearly a thousand years, and the core people are all righteous and bold people, and they will never do any ugly things that the magpie's nest dove occupies, what we value is not the power of mundane things, but the inheritance of the thousand-year-old Taoist system, and it must not be destroyed in the hands of our generation!" Shi Yan nodded very happily.

"The second article is that no one shall be forced to become a disciple of the Mo family, and everything shall be voluntary!" Wei Xing continued.

Shi Yan laughed loudly: "Wei Gongzi still doesn't know much about our Momen, Momen has always only accepted like-minded brothers and sisters, and they are all willing to enter and exit!" ”

Wei Xing stood up suddenly, and said happily: "Refreshing, from this moment on, we are a family!" ”

"As for the details of the two sides, Uncle Shi Yan will have a good consultation with Uncle Meng Ping!"

"In the end, I have only one request, please ask the brothers of Momen to come to Phoenix Fort as soon as possible, we are in great need of craftsmen with various skills here!"

"Wei Gongzi, you can rest assured, even if Shi Mou said that Juzi and the others could not be moved for a while, he could let Shi's disciples come over to support the construction of Phoenix Fort first, and try not to delay the growth of Phoenix Fort!"

Shi Yan just took a fancy to the potential of Phoenix Castle, so he didn't hesitate to gamble everything in his hand, bet his net worth, and find a way out for the wheezing Momen!

Even if it fails, it will only be the destruction of his branch!

"Uncle Shi Yan, don't call me Gongzi Wei anymore, it seems that we are too separated!" Wei Xing said with a smile.

"Then Shi is the same as Brother Meng Ping, call you a son!"

"That's right, Childe! Don't call me Uncle Shi Yan, I can't afford it! Shi Yan cautiously refused.

Wei Xing was stunned for a moment, and said jokingly with a smile: "Uncle Shi Yan, if you don't let me call you uncle, you will be shorter than Uncle Meng Ping, Uncle Huyan and others for no reason!" ”

As soon as these words came out, Shi Yan was in a dilemma.

"Nephew Shiyan, you make a decision quickly, hahaha、、、、、、" Huyan Leopard deliberately made a mistake on the side, laughing and teasing.

、、、、、、

When it was time for dinner, Tang Zhongwei hurriedly returned from the Three Strings of Gourd Valley.

After the meal, the four of them came to the council chamber!

"Childe, you're finally back, Phoenix Castle has accumulated a lot of problems, and you need to nod and solve them!" Tang Zhongwei immediately complained.

"Uncle Zhongwei, you say it one by one, I listen, let's think about it together and find a way to solve it together!" Wei Xing said calmly.

Tang Zhongwei moistened his throat and said, "First, when you are not there, we have prepared two branches, and the middle and high-level officers have not yet been appointed, so you need to make your own decisions." ”

Wei Xing thought for a moment and said, "Regarding the appointment of middle and high-level officers in the two branches, after all the uncles come back, we will discuss it slowly together, this kind of thing is not in a hurry!" Arbitrary appointments will hurt the morale of the brothers! ”

Tang Zhongwei continued: "Second, the war horses of the auxiliary army are extremely lacking, and even the weapons are not fully equipped, which greatly limits the combat effectiveness of the auxiliary army! ”

Huyan Leopard casually replied: "The pig iron brought this time, we try to make it into iron as much as possible, so as to save iron; The next few batches of pig iron brought back are still like this, try to ensure that everyone fights with each other! ”

"As for the war horses, we brought back a lot of salt, and we can't use it up for the time being, so we can take out some of it first and go to the nearby Hu tribe to exchange a batch of it!"

Meng Ping said reluctantly: "In the Western Regions, salt is still much more valuable than war horses!" We can exchange other supplies for war horses, or we can find time to catch a herd of wild horses and come back to tame! ”

"Uncle Meng Ping, the cycle of domesticating wild horses is too long and too delayed; Other materials may not be directly effective, salt is the hard currency of the Western Regions, and we will keep trading salt, so don't worry too much about it! Wei Xing supported Huyan Leopard's suggestion and explained very seriously.

"Third, this year's population has skyrocketed to 30,000, ten times that of last year, and the stone fort has long been uninhabitable, half of it lives in tents at the foot of the mountain, and living is quite a big problem!"

"I suggest that next spring, we find another place and build a stone fort!" Tang Zhongwei said.

"Building another stone fort is a big project, which requires a lot of manpower, material resources and resources!" Huyan Leopard said with a straightforward sigh.

Meng Ping thought for a while and said in embarrassment: "With the rapid increase in population, it is urgent to build a second stone fort, although it needs to consume a lot of manpower, material resources and resources!" ”

Wei Xing interjected: "Yes, it must be built, although the amount of work is very large; However, where to build it still needs to be negotiated in the future! ”

He was also worried about the amount of work in the stone fort, and he was afraid that he would delay the major event of continuing to collect refugees next year.

"Fourth, there is no problem with food in a short period of time, but after a long time, it is a big problem, we need to prepare a little earlier, our population base has changed! Tang Zhongwei slowly finished talking about the last problem.

Wei Xing stood up abruptly and emphasized loudly: "As for the problem of food, it is the biggest problem we need to face at present, not only to ensure the rations of our own 30,000 people, but also to continue to deliver food to Liangzhou before the autumn harvest next year, and take the opportunity to exchange for valuable population resources!" ”

Tang Zhongwei thought for a while, but still said what he thought in his heart, and said softly: "Childe, our population seems to be enough now, if you add the last batch of refugees this year, all kinds of materials will be even more embarrassing and insufficient!" ”

If you don't know the price of firewood and rice, Tang Zhongwei knows the family background of Phoenix Castle very well, and he is often worried about the lack of certain materials!

"Uncle Zhongwei, this kind of great opportunity doesn't happen every year! Heaven does not take it, but suffers from it, and when it comes, it is not welcome, but suffers from it! ”

"Starting tomorrow, let the surplus refugees clear the land on both sides of the river and farm next spring!"

"People kept building boats, weaving fishing nets, doing everything possible to increase the size of sheep and cattle, starting to raise chickens, ducks, geese、、、、、、 and doing everything possible to increase the amount of food available!" Wei Xing commanded solemnly.

When the three of them saw that Childe was so resolute, they also felt that Childe was right, and they didn't wait for me or the opportunity to come, so they all seriously used their brains to find a source of increased food.

、、、、、、

After the meeting, Wei Xing found that Ning Xiaowu, who had become swarthy, was waiting in front of his room, and asked calmly: "Ah Hu, why did you come to me?" ”

"Childe, I don't want to continue herding sheep and cattle anymore, can you give me an easier errand? It's so boring and boring! Ning Xiaowu pleaded with a pitiful look.

"Then you go back to the Soldier Refining Cave and continue your iron-fighting career!" Wei Xing glared at the stinky boy.

Ning Zhenhu let him sharpen in Phoenix Fort for a while, and Wei Xing threw him in the refining cave of the Three Strings of Gourd Valley last autumn to exercise;

After Migu was exposed this year, he was worried about his safety, so he sent him back to Shibao in advance, and later assigned him a light job of herding sheep and cattle.

"If you don't change it, you won't change it, what's the murder!" Ning Xiaowu muttered unwillingly!

"If there is nothing else to do, you can go back and rest early, you still need to get up early tomorrow, Phoenix Fort does not raise lazy people!" After finishing speaking, Wei Xing immediately turned around and walked into the room, about to close the door.

"Wait, Childe!" Ning Xiaowu hurriedly raised his head and shouted loudly, gritted his teeth again, and said, "Childe, I found a strange treasure, I want to sell it to you, I don't want to herd sheep anymore!" ”

Zhou Xin'er was still in the room, Wei Xing didn't have the heart to pay attention to Ning Xiaowu at this moment, and said impatiently: "Xiaowu, you have to be down-to-earth, baby doesn't say that there is one, go back, it's time to rest!" ”

"Humph! Don't underestimate people, you're no bigger than me! If you don't take a look, you'll regret it for the rest of your life! Ning Xiaowu glanced at him and said confidently.

"Regret for life? Tell me, stop grinding, what strange things you've found! Wei Xing urged casually.

"You can't swallow up my merits, and reward me with a lot of gold and silver!" Ning Xiaowu reminded uneasily.

"Little rabbit thief, if you don't say it, if you don't say it, get out, don't delay my rest!" Wei Xing scolded casually, and he was about to close the door!

"Don't worry, I say!"

"It is a black liquid, very dense, which can be used as lamp oil, but it emits a strong odor when burning!" Ning Xiaowu said.

After listening, Wei Xing was stunned for a moment, then thought of something, and shouted in surprise: "Is it oil?" ”

"Oil! What is Oil? Ning Xiaowu asked in confusion on the side.

Wei Xing had no thoughts of sleeping at this time, his hands tightly grasped Ning Xiaowu's arm, and asked hurriedly, "Boy, where did you find it?" ”

"How many?"

"Does anyone else know?"

、、、、、、

Wei Xing wanted to eagerly know all the secrets about oil, and popped up a series of questions, making it difficult for Ning Xiaowu to answer for a while.
