Chapter 255: Tian Wen and Feng Chen
When the glass industry was initially cultivated and contributed to Taoqiu's wealth as another high-profit industry, the three-phase alliance that the whole world was paying close attention to finally arrived.
Among the three great powers, the first to arrive in Taoqiu was naturally the great country located in the east of Taoqiu, the Qi State.
Qi Xiangtian had a lot of festivals with Dai Yan in his early years. When King Qi Wei was still there, he suggested to King Wei that he kill Dai Yan to prevent future troubles. Now, after Taoqiu has developed so prosperously, this self-interested and narrow-minded Xiangguo has become more and more convinced of this.
Regarding the prosperity of Taoqiu, this Xiangguo did not show much interest. When he arrived at the Tauhill, he spent his days in seclusion, in the special palace used to entertain the princes on the last occasion.
On the contrary, Tian Ying's son Tian Wen was full of interest in the prosperity of this pottery mound.
Tian Wen is not yet twenty years old this year, but he has already shown extraordinary talent.
This prince of Qi is Tian Ying's concubine, and when Tian Ying's concubine left Tian Wen, it was May 5th. There is a superstition in the country of Qi that children born in May will grow to the height of the portal in the future, and will eventually harm their parents and even the family. Tian Ying was convinced of this, so he ordered his concubine not to feed him. However, Tian Wen's mother did not follow Tian Ying's orders, and secretly raised Tian Wen.
When Tian Ying knew that Tian Wen was not only not discarded, but was raised, he was furious about it. When he wanted to find trouble with Tian Wen's mother and wanted to put Tian Wen to death, the young Tian Wen did not feel the slightest fear, but directly asked Tian Ying: "Is a person's destiny granted by God or by the portal?" If it was granted by God, why should you worry? If it is granted by the portal, then as long as the portal is heightened, who can grow taller than the portal? ”
Just these words allowed Tian Wen to pick up his life and pick up his identity as the son of Qi State.
When Tian Wen had some status in Jing Guojun's mansion, he advised Tian Ying to raise more soldiers and recruit talents. In his opinion, Tian Ying is certainly in the Qi country, and his prestige is grand. However, during Tian Ying's reign in the Qi State, the territory of the Qi State did not increase, but the wealth in Tian Ying's mansion began to accumulate more and more, and Tian Ying's disciples could not see real talents, so they had to recruit more wise men in order to stabilize their position in the Qi State. Tian Ying was deeply touched by this, and since then, he has let Tian Wen preside over the housekeeping and let him receive guests.
And with Tian Wen's temperament honed from suffering since childhood, he can't see the arrogance of the noble son of Qi State who rejects people thousands of miles away, and he treats scholars with a kind of sincerity from the heart. After hearing about it, the scholars of Qi came to him one after another, which also made Xue Yi's strength stronger and stronger. Even if the current King of Qi is deeply dissatisfied with Tian Ying, he can't help this father and son, but has to let Tian Ying serve as the minister of Qi to stabilize the situation in Qi.
"I didn't expect that I, Feng Chen, would set foot on this land of Taoqiu again so soon!" In the most prosperous Dongcheng District of Taoqiu, Tian Wen's chief strategist said with a sigh on his face.
This Feng Tan is the chief strategist of Ding Yi, the head of the Taoqiu rangers who was directly destroyed by Dai Yan when Dai Yan became the master of Taoqiu!
When Taoqiu's rangers were wiped out by Dai Yan, Feng Chen couldn't forget the deep hatred of his lord being killed, and he always thought about revenge. Therefore, as soon as he escaped from Taoqiu, he went straight to Dai Yan's enemy, Jingguo Juntianying.
Jing Guojun has a big face, of course, it is impossible to personally receive him as a fugitive ranger. The one who received him was the young Tian Wen.
When Tian Wen first saw Feng Tan, he just routinely asked Feng Tan about his situation: "Does Mr. have any hobbies?" "I don't have any hobbies." "Is there anything you can do then?" and "No." For such a person who has neither hobbies nor abilities, Tian Wen also took him in. However, Tian Wen is so generous, the people in his house don't have such a good temper, and they just entertain him with coarse tea and light rice.
After a while, Feng Tan played the sword and sang at the door of Tianfu: "Long sword and long sword, go back!" There was no fish for dinner. The servant in the Tian Mansion reported the matter to Tian Wen as a small report. Tian Wen was interested in this, and waved his hand to the servant and ordered: "Give him fish!" ”
After another period of time, Feng Tan repeated the old trick again, this time singing: "Long sword and long sword, go back!" There is no car to go out. Others told Tian Wen about this as a joke, and Tian Wen said boldly, "Give him a car, just like other passengers." At this time, Feng Chen Ke was proud, rode the car to see his friend and said, "The young man respects me very much." ”
But it didn't take long for him to start playing the sword again, singing, "Long sword, long sword, go back!" I don't have money to support my family. At this time, others felt that he was too much, he was simply insatiable, so he went to Tian Wen to report, Tian Wen didn't care, after learning that his family still had an old mother in Taoqiu, he asked someone to bring him to Qi State, and provided his mother with food and clothing on time. As a result, Feng Tan stopped singing.
At this time, he began to rediscover the loyalty of a righteous man and his extraordinary talents.
In Linzi, the capital of Qi State, he helped Tian Wen deal with Jingguo Jun's housekeeping, and handled everything in an orderly manner, which impressed Tian Ying. When Tian Ying's chief strategist Qi Maungbi died in the hunting ground in the eastern suburbs of Qi State, the internal affairs of Tian Mansion were very chaotic, and it was not until Feng Chen's arrival that Tian Fu was completely stable, and its strength was even stronger than before.
Later, Tian Fu had a debt to collect in Xueyi, and Tian Wen valued Feng Tan's outstanding talent, so he sent him to handle the matter. Feng Tan asked Tian Wen directly: "I help the lord collect debts, does the lord need me to buy some things back?" Tian Wen thought about it, and said to Feng Chen: "Mr. is so talented, you can see what my family is missing, just help me buy some back." ”
So Feng Tan arrived in Xueyi, found all the creditors, and burned all the bonds in front of them! The local people shouted long live and thanked Xue Gong loudly for his kindness!
This practice reached Tian Wen's ears, which made Tian Wen extremely angry, so he immediately recalled Feng Tan and asked Feng Tan why he did this. Feng Tan said bluntly: "Your family has a small Xue Yi, and you don't care for the people there as if they were your own children, but use merchant means to collect interest from them, I think it is inappropriate, so I will pretend to be your will and reward the debts to those people who are unable to repay." This is what I bought for you, it is the 'righteousness' of the whole Xue Yi! ”
The practice of burning the bonds made Detian Wen a little angry, and also made him feel that he could not explain in front of his father. However, when Tian Ying heard about Feng Chen's practice of burning coupons, this stingy feudal monarch who has always liked to accumulate wealth applauded loudly. After trying to win over Feng Tan to no avail, and knowing that Feng Tan was loyal to Tian Wen. Tian Ying made a very decisive move: make Tian Wen the son!
Since then, the entire Xue Yi Tian Ying has basically been handed over to Tian Wen for management, but the actual manager is this Feng Chen.
Although Xue Yi is called Yi, it used to be a country of its own. In order to promote the development of agriculture in Xueyi, he sent spies to Fengyi to steal advanced agricultural knowledge, and introduced a large number of iron agricultural tools from Taoqiu, so that the entire Xueyi people were abundant, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, forming a thriving atmosphere in the surrounding countries!
If it weren't for the more rapid development of Taoqiu, the impact on the surrounding area would be too great, Xueyi would definitely be the most brilliant pearl in the Surabaya basin in recent years!
Unlike Dai Yan's low-key development of military affairs and the implementation of the elite army strategy in Taoqiu, Feng Chen has his own unique understanding of military affairs. He took advantage of the characteristics of the Tian father and son as good cultivators, vigorously appeased the rangers of the entire Qi country, organized them, and formed an army that was not afraid of death! Such an army can almost be regarded as the pinnacle of Qi Guo's technical fighters. With such a powerful force, Tian Ying's position in the Qi State has become more and more stable!
Tian Wen, who knew Feng Tan's background, heard Feng Tan's exclamation, and asked Feng Tan directly: "I know that Mr. suffered injustice in Taoqiu back then. If Mr. wants to find trouble with Ziyan, Tian Wen can help Son! ”
Feng Tan shook his head and said to Tian Wen: "Childe's heart, Feng Tan understands it. However, now that Taoqiu's strength is so strong, it is really not something that my Xue Yi alone can fight against, how can I ruin the lord's affairs because of my own personal enmity? ”
Feng Chen's vision has always been very good, and Tian Wen has no doubt about him. When he heard Feng Chen's evaluation of Tao Qiu so highly, he asked with a puzzled face, "Please forgive the boy's clumsiness." Judging from the following, although this pottery mound is now prosperous, after all, it is a bunch of businessmen in charge. Businessmen are all people who see profit and righteousness, and they are not like celebrities who value righteousness and ignore profit. With my Xue Yi who values righteousness, why not worry about attacking Taoqiu's profit-heavy business? Is the gentleman a little too high-minded? ”
After listening to this, Feng Tan said to Tian Wen: "Although Tao Qiujun has personal enmity with Zai Xia and Jing Guojun, he is a virtuous son who is famous all over the world after all, and he will not despise him with personal enmity. Businessmen value profit over righteousness, not for the army, it is indeed a wise saying. However, I look at the method of Taoqiu Jun to govern the city, which is quite a bit of stone into gold. With Tao Qiu so prosperous, the wealth accumulated by Tao Qiu Jun must have reached an unimaginable level! Once there is a war in the future, Tao Qiujun will be rewarded with heavy gold, and there will definitely be people who will serve him.
Judging from the following, Taoqiu is not without righteous people! Tao Qiujun built so many schools in Taoqiu, which is the practice of cultivating righteous people from an early age. Once these people grow up, they must have infinite loyalty to Taoqiu, and when they are combined, this is by no means something that my righteous warriors of Xue Yi can fight against? My Xue Yi is not as good as Taoqiu, it is really a natural principle, and the son should be brave to face it. Zaixia's ability is not as good as Tao Qiujun, and it is my sin that I can't make Xue Yi so powerful! ”
Of course, Tian Wen couldn't blame Feng Tan for this, he said directly: "Sir's talent, assisting a country is more than wrong, and where is the lack of ability?" However, Tao Qiu is so powerful, it is not only a trouble for me Xue Yi, but also a trouble for Qi in the future. I want to find trouble with Ziyan, not only for my husband's personal grudge, but also for my father's personal grudge, and also for the planning of the entire Qi country! Sir is not an outsider, if there is a way to weaken Tao Qiu, he can put it forward and dedicate it to his father! ”
After listening to Tianwen's words, Feng Tan was also greatly moved. Then he lowered his voice and said a few words in Tian Wen's ear, roughly stating the way to deal with Tao Qiu, and Tian Wen nodded again and again.
