Chapter 407: Retainers

Those who are used to being lawyers must like to work behind the scenes in these dangerous times, and the same is true for Bai Dong.

If he had a choice, he would prefer to live in Baijiazhuang to secretly promote the situation, or stay in the academy to guide the world, and charging at the forefront is something that only a fool can do. Take the construction of the Western Regions as an example, this is a special honor that the Qin State has not had in a hundred years, Yingqu Liang cut the land and sealed the marquis, and gave him the Western Regions, that is, the western part of the Qin State and the Hexi Corridor connecting the Western Regions were given to him, and half of the silk porcelain road was given to him, how much trust is this? But there has never been a free lunch in the world, except for the dispensable promise of 'calling Tiantianying and calling the earth and earth', Qin only sent 2,000 troops, paid some food and some copper and iron resources that he originally obtained, once Xijuncheng was established, he had to face the threat from the west independently, and the soldiers he could use were only some Meng family soldiers and 30,000 soldiers from Wei.

He doesn't have to guess what Yingquliang thinks, brotherhood must be there, if he is not Baizi Xijun, Yingquliang will definitely be his lifelong friend, but he just became Xijun and the first minister of Lao Qin! In this way, the relationship between the monarch and the brother will become extremely complicated, and Yingquliang is unwilling to give more soldiers when he gives food and resources, in fact, he has the intention of comparing him

Bai Dong saw this, and he naturally saw it. When it comes to understanding politics, the Mohist Legalist is the first in the world today, and Confucianism is still very tender, do you really think that he took the children of the Mo family to help Bai Dong build the city just to gamble with the public loser? The Mo family giants are not so naΓ―ve. In the eyes of Yu Huaxi, Bai Dong, who was originally only a genius, now has a bit of a taste of salvation, the day when Xijun built the city. It was when this white man was full of wings and tried to cry in the world. Now he has a relationship with Bai Dong. In the future, I am not afraid that I will not have the opportunity to influence or even change this big man, how plump and beautiful the ideal of the Mo family is, Bai Zi refused to contact the Mo family before, that is, he did not really understand the Mo family and was influenced by Deng Lingzi, these are all things that can be changed.

Just like all big shots, Bird Slipper believes that as long as he wants to do something, there is nothing he can't do, and during this time he will rely on Bai Dong and influence Bai Dong with his sincerity. Let Bai Dong understand that the Mo family has never been a dangerous element, and the children of the Mo family are all hard-working and peace-loving sincere gentlemen, and the occasional killing method is also a form of coercion and has to be done. He even thought of a few thousand words of rhetoric, and prepared to draw a happy world of 'love and harmony' for Bai Dong, in which everyone loves each other, works hard and thrifty, does not attack or kill, and if he has bread, he will definitely share half of it with his neighbors

The land in the Western Regions is the Gobi Desert except for the grassland, in fact, it is not very suitable for building a city, but no matter how difficult it is, it is difficult to stop the children of the Mo family. After absorbing the ground water, it is an iron plate; To build a city on such a foundation is not to be said of the foundation of thousands of years. Three to five hundred years is not certain. Seeing the children of the Mo family commanding the craftsmen to be busy on the foundation, mortar mud pouring mold, external fire bricks, Bai Dong actually has a kind of pioneer joy, it seems that he doesn't have to think too much, took the mud wrapped in red cloth handed over by the bird slippery west, personally turned over the mud, and put the first brick on the foundation, the craftsman who was working suddenly let out bursts of cheers, Xijun personally made bricks, just like the Son of Heaven built the city in the past, it is a great omen, and today there will be wine and meat, and there will be enough!

The officials selected by the Zhou royal family came, and the big Sikong in charge of etiquette was a gray-haired old man, who complained that the conditions in the Western Regions were too difficult all the way, but after accepting Bai Dong's gift, the Western Regions in his mouth became a good place for us in Xinjiang. With the support of the two Qin soldiers, he went up to the altar, first highly summarized Bai Dong's great achievements and the praise and affirmation of Bai Dong by the King of Zhou, and then pointed to the far west and told people that it has been the land of Zhou since ancient times, how can it be allowed to run rampant, Bai Dong blushed a little when he heard it, this old gentleman didn't seem to understand the situation, we are now going to expand the territory, but not to recover the mountains and rivers, what is this? However, he could only nod his head along with it, and he had to chant loudly the old guy's prepared words in advance, accompanied by the melodious sound of Yi Ersan playing, how to look like a human comedy.

Seeing that the 'Great Ceremony of the Establishment of the City' had entered a climax, thousands of Meng family members and Qin soldiers standing on the stage immediately cheered; Meng Chenggong glanced at Pang Juan and Sun Bin, who were standing in the army and talking in a low voice, turned his head to look at Meng Pei, and said in a low voice: "Brother, maybe you are right."

Meng Pei is the person who has 'betrayed' him as the head of the Meng family in order to support Sylde in the battle against the Cypriots, since that day, Meng Chenggong has been unhappy, but because of the white building behind Syald, he did not dare to touch Meng Pei's father and son, but the Meng family was divided into two parts, and they were not in harmony with each other, and it almost became a chronic disease of the Meng family.

When Meng Pei heard this, his expression eased: "The head of the family"

"It's hard for you to call me the head of the house, that's enough"

Meng Chenggong sighed: "Brother clan, a year has passed, and I have seen the changes in the Western Regions, how can I not know?" When we entered the Western Regions, our greatest wish was to be able to return to our hometown as much as possible, and never leave the ancestral ancestral hall. In order to preserve the last strength of the Meng clan, I will be blinded and lose my mind. But how does Baizi do it? If it weren't for his several pleas, how could the monarch allow some of his clansmen to return to Qin? And part of the land has been returned, and everyone has the status of a commoner, not a sinner and a pariah! These are all the graces of Bai Zi, but I can't get along with his disciples, I'm just a fool! ”

"Actually, I've always wanted to ask, many ordinary clansmen have returned to their hometowns, but why are the patriarchs reluctant to return?" Meng Pei suddenly smiled, in the past, he had different opinions from the head of the family, and almost evolved into a family infighting, but now he has a consensus on the matter of returning to the country, which is wonderful to think about.

"Are you knowingly asking, the three families of Mengxi and Bai rebelled, in addition to the Bai family's shrewdness to protect themselves, does the Meng family, the culprit, still have hope to revive the glory of the past? I also thought that I would make meritorious service in the Western Regions and atone for my sins, and it would be good to be able to return to my hometown and become a musician from now on, but Xijun made me see hope."

Meng Chenggong looked at Sun Bin and Pang Juan again: "What kind of character is Mr. Sun?" Pang Juan is a contemporary celebrity. But even if it is them, they all gather around Xijun and that Bai Wugeng, this is the real smart person, the Bai family is not only innocent but also meritorious in the rebellion, although Fengtian was deprived by Wei Ying, but still got a large piece of land, and can still assist Bai Zi to lead part of the Yongyi elite horse, this time the king did not say it clearly, but he took the initiative to invite Ying to bring two thousand Bai family elites to come, and for what? Could it be that he wants to come to the Western Regions to drink a few sips of wind and sand and say goodbye to my Meng family? ”

"Hehe, what the head of the family said is that Bai Wugeng has never made a loss-making business, and he clearly takes a fancy to Xijun's unlimited potential in the future, and has the same idea as us."

"Oh, you said he had the same idea as us, so I'm going to ask my brother, what is your idea?"

Meng Chenggong looked at Meng Pei with a smile, the two of you look at me, I look at you, and suddenly they all looked up to the sky and laughed; Since the war with the Cypriots, the Meng family has been divided into two factions, one faction still respects Meng Chenggong, the rightful head of the family, and the other faction is only Meng Pei's father and son and Hilde Ma are the first to look forward, and there is a faint tendency to split, but today, the two seem to have thought of a place, and the Meng family will be harmonious and stable in the future, and the major events of the Zhongxing family are promising

"What do I have in mind, don't I have the same idea as the head of the house? It's not good, Bai Wugeng is really slippery, we have to be fast, don't be robbed of the jackpot by him! ”

After worshipping heaven and earth, and thanking the Zhou Tianzi who was far away in Luoyi, Bai Dong was ready to escape, according to the rules of the prince to build a city and open a family, and then he should be rewarded for meritorious deeds and set up a retainer, he was certified by the Son of Heaven, although he was still the Marquis of Guannei in name, in fact, he had surpassed the highest Marquis of the twentieth rank of the Qin State! Chehou can only support his retainers, 3,000 private soldiers, and soldiers, but he can canonize the Qing doctors in his own fiefdom, but these Qing doctors are just eating his Xijun's money.

This is almost a country within a country, and Yingqu Liang once said to him personally that in the future, he will build a city in the Western Regions and suppress one side, and the number of private soldiers can exceed 3,000, reaching the number of three divisions! The six divisions of the Son of Heaven and the three divisions of the princes, this is the level of the princes, and what is the concept of the three divisions of the princes of the Warring States? If the three divisions are less than 20,000 according to the regulations, even if the first king salutes the Lu country, there is more than this number!

A country within a country, with a large army in hand? Yingquliang's friendship and trust can make people's hearts hot, but how does Bai Dong feel a chill in his back, people who have been ministers throughout the ages are not afraid of officials and lords showing their power and leaning towards the opposition, they are afraid that they are holding heavy troops and being alone, this taste is not right?

So you have to run, the faster the better, what is Bai Wugeng running from Qin State for, and what is Meng Chenggong guarding and refusing to leave on the day he started digging the foundation in Xijun City? Now, even Nie Zhu's gaze is fiery when he looks at him, these people are going crazy!

It turns out that it is difficult to escape in the face of huge interests, Bai Dong was just about to take a step, and he heard someone in the audience say loudly: "Xijun is slow, Bai Wugeng has something to say!" ”

"The Meng family has something to say!"

"Dean, student Mu Xijing also has something to say!" (To be continued......)
