Chapter 179: Thinking Across the Ages?

"Tell me, why are you so enthusiastic about Ben coming here?" After all the servants left, Wu Ming asked directly. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Nothing to be courteous, either a traitor or a thief. It's better to be straightforward about this kind of thing.

At this time, Ling Tianxue was still pouring wine for the two of them, and when she heard Wu Ming say this, her hand paused slightly. Xu didn't expect Wu Ming to be so direct, so Ling Tianxue's face was a little embarrassed at this moment.

It wasn't until the two of them had poured their wine pouts full of wine that Ling Tianxue smiled, but there was no discomfort in the words, it was unusually natural.

This point made Wu Ming feel more and more that this person was not simple. There is no such calmness and calmness, even Chen Zhen does not have this realm.

"The general is really refreshing," as she said, Ling Tianxue raised her wine first and pouted, "The grass people drink this chew first to show their respect for the general." ”

Wu Ming sat quietly opposite, neither talking nor drinking, just looking at him quietly.

After Ling Tianxue finished drinking, gently covering his ugliness with his sleeves and wiping off the wine marks on the corners of his mouth, Wu Ming picked up his wine pout. But he just took a sip lightly.

"Can you say it now?" The moment he put down the wine, Wu Ming asked again.

This kind of eagerness and initiative made Ling Tianxue feel a little uncomfortable, after all, the kind of people she had encountered in the past were either known by themselves or had requirements for themselves.

This is the first time I have seen someone like Wu Ming, who is sitting together drinking for the first time and urgently needs to know what the other party is asking for.

However, this did not affect Ling Tianxue's personal cultivation and realm, I saw him smile faintly, and said loudly: "Don't hide it from the general, the grass people have always wanted to make this Fengyue Tower bigger, but there is no chance, so I want to ask the general to help, as long as it is done, the grass people will be grateful." ”

"Oh?" Wu Ming seemed to understand this, but he didn't break it, he just showed a surprised look on his face, "Boss Ling's restaurant is also famous in the world, isn't it big?" ”

Fengyue Tower was afraid that there would be no second one of this scale in the entire Wei Kingdom, and Wu Ming was even doubting how he built it step by step. You must know that at this time, no one cares about the land in the Barren Sky and Wild Mountains, but in this Daliang City, a piece of land is of great value.

At the moment when Wu Ming spoke, Ling Tianxue quietly observed his expression. Among them, he observed that although Wu Ming's face was a little surprised, the tone of his voice did not have that kind of surprising feeling.

Obviously, this kind of thing is not surprising to Wu Ming, and it is very accustomed. As a businessman who has come to this point, he naturally has some of his own abilities.

After being silent for a while, Ling Tianxue continued, "The general said with a smile, the restaurant is a fixed business, even though it is famous in other countries, but the guest here is still the rich son of my Wei country. This income is not comparable to the salt of Qi country, and it can be sold to all countries in the world, and the business can be done to all countries in the world. But this restaurant, such a restaurant in Daliang City, how many people are willing to come all the way here. ”

It is impossible for Wu Ming not to understand this. On the contrary, he listened too clearly, what this meant was that he wanted to use the signboard of Fengyue Tower to establish branches in various parts of the Wei Kingdom?

Isn't this a chain store for later generations?

Thinking of this, Wu Ming had to admire this Ling Tianxue's advanced thinking.

Thinking about it, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but show a smile.

"What? Where does the general's smile come from? "Sometimes people are like that, and they are more easily upset when faced with a smile. Ling Tianxue is also such a master: "The idea of losing the Great General is definitely too much, so it should be just a joke." ”

After speaking, Ling Tianxue's face showed a trace of bitterness, and she wanted to wait for Wu Ming to say something first.

But after a while, Wu Ming looked thoughtful, and he didn't mean to speak for a while.

In this way, Ling Tianxue spoke again, "When the grass people were young, they liked to look at the gold in a daze, and with the gold, they could buy mansions, food, drink, and use. He doesn't have the great ambition to do his best for the country like a general, but he also wants as much gold as possible, and it doesn't mean that he lacks something outside his body. If you really want to talk about why you have this idea. That's convenient for the general to have a general view of military merits, just think more, the more the better, but when it comes to the general, what is the use of more military merits. No matter how much gold the grass people have, it is just a survival, but they just want it unspeakably. So I thought of such a way to make the general laugh. ”

Want gold? The more the merrier? From this passage, Wu Ming at least knew that this was an ambitious lord, and he was extremely ambitious.

"Today, in the Upper Doctor's Mansion, presumably you are here for this?" With a faint smile, Wu Ming looked at this and asked.

"General Huiyan," also smiled at Wu Ming, Ling Tianxue lowered his head a little embarrassed, "The grass people are just for this, but what Lord Shangqing said is in Anyi City." ”

"Anyi?" Wu Ming muttered to himself in an instant, but he didn't say anything more, and then drank to himself.

"I invited the general to come, I heard that the general is quite popular in Hedong, so ......"

"So you want to open a Fengyue Building in Hedong as well." This sentence was picked up by Wu Ming.

At this time, Wu Ming was a little interested in this Ling Tianxue. When the words fell, Wu Ming stared at him with wide eyes.

"Yes, the grass people have such plans." Filling Wu Ming's wine pout again, Ling Tianxue smiled faintly, "I don't know, the general is willing to help the grass people?" ”

"Huh? It's not impossible. Putting the chicken leg in his hand to his mouth and biting it, Wu Ming ate it regardless of his image.

After eating, he drank half of the wine in the wine pod, and then continued: "Your idea is good, it would have been a hundred approvals. But it's always a bit of hard work, isn't it? ”

"It's nature, it's nature...... Where can the grass people let the general be busy in vain. "At this moment, Ling Tianxue is a little different.

I have been crawling all the way for many years, and I have seen officials from all over the country who are not good, but it is the first time I have seen someone like Wu Ming who directly wants benefits. Even Chen Zhen, who was supporting the Fengyue Tower of Daliang City behind him, did not dare to do so.

"Frankly speaking, I could have helped you, and Anyi's affairs could have helped you down. You also put it clearly, how much can you give this benefit? ”

"Uh......" This matter was Ling Tianxue's tentative approach when she saw Wu Ming today, she didn't want Wu Ming to be so direct, this time it made Ling Tianxue a little unnatural.

After thinking for a while, Ling Tianxue solemnly arrived: "Three hundred gold in one place, since the general has done such a big favor, seven hundred gold in these two places." What does the general think? ”

Now the annual tax income of the Wei State is only a thousand gold. Seven hundred gold, that's a lot of money. However, Ling Tianxue could think of opening Fengyue Tower in other places, and Wu Ming naturally thought of the so-called equity in later generations.

Hearing this, he immediately smiled and said, "Seven hundred gold, Boss Ling is really magnificent." However, Ben Jiang still thought that Boss Ling could give one hundred and eighty gold per month. Ben may be able to help you build a bigger signboard for Fengyue Tower. For example, drive to Taoyi in the Song Kingdom, otherwise, how about Zhengcheng in South Korea? ”

As soon as these words came out, Ling Tianxue felt that Wu Ming was a little arrogant. Even though you are the general of Wei, will the other princes really sell your face?

But Ling Tianxue didn't dare to say this back then. Instead, he put on a smile and said, "Since the general has spoken, how dare the grass people not listen, but this one hundred and eighty gold, the grass people really can't come out." The general looks at this, fifty gold per month, if all the generals in the army need to go to Fengyue Tower to rest, they will be free here. ”

Is this a blatant talk about bribery?

Wu Ming was thinking faintly. But he can't do so much at this time. Since the army has admitted that it will pay the monthly salary, this matter must be implemented.

However, Wu Ming's private admission does not mean that the white tiger in charge of the treasury also admits it. Things have come to this point, and it is an era when the wisdom of the people has not been completely civilized, and Wu Ming can't help but hesitate.

After all, this army is in chaos, maybe one day there will be a coalition merit beam, so can the law of the Wei State still be useful.

Besides, today, it has not yet reached the point where the Son of Heaven has broken the law and drunk with the common people. So sometimes it's not that you don't want to respect the Fa, but that there's no way to respect it at all.

"Okay, then it's decided, fifty gold a month." When he said this, Wu Ming's face was a little dissatisfied, "You don't have to give anything now, wait for Ben to notify you that you can open in Hedong and Anyi." ”

"The grass people are all at the mercy of the general's arrangement." Wu Mingdu said it so bluntly, what could he Ling Tianxue say. Only the part of the arch Cheng is.

However, what he didn't know was that behind Wu Ming's reluctant face, he was already smiling.

Fifty gold per month. In fact, the army's monthly salary is only two gold for every 10,000 soldiers.

In addition, the expenses of some generals are only twenty gold per month.

Of course, this is only temporary, the reason why the salary is less is also for the sake of future army expansion, if it is set high, this is a big number. Wu Ming didn't know if he could pay it off.

"In that case, this wine can't be wasted today, right?" Raising the wine pout, Wu Ming said with a smile.

……

At the next day's court meeting.

When the courtiers saw Wu Ming's figure, they were suspicious again. Since the siege of the Zhao army was lifted, Wu Ming basically stayed in the Hedong military camp. There is definitely a limit to the number of times you can go to court.

But in these limited few times, there was something to say in each of them. So when Wu Ming arrives today, all the courtiers will think about what this Wu Ming went to court for.

There was not much time, and King Wei Hui walked up to the main seat and sat down under the service of his ministers.

But until this time, the atmosphere in the hall was still quiet, so quiet that even the breathing of the ministers was so light.

King Wei Hui's face looked so red that his spirit didn't know how much better he was when he first saw Wu Ming at this time.

At this time, the courtiers began to salute.

After that. King Wei Hui looked directly at Wu Ming. Then he swept over the ministers, "Ladies and gentlemen, now the territory of my Wei State is peaceful, and the people live and work in peace and contentment. Although there is no grain in the country, the growth of crops is quite gratifying. ”

While speaking, King Wei Hui's face did not change, and after he finished speaking, he was still smiling. It can be seen that this king is indeed in a good mood.

"Congratulations to my king, congratulations to my king. This is God's wish for my king and the blessing of the Wei Kingdom. Chen Zhen was the first to stand up, with the same smile and excitement on her face.

"Speaking of which, this matter is really thanks to you and Wu Aiqing. The widow's night has been explored, and this year's crops in Hedong are the most gratifying. You two have done a lot of work. ”

"Wechen Xie Jun praises." Chen Zhen said again.

However, Wu Ming just stood quietly and did not speak. I don't know why that face, it's always lukewarm and bland.

"Wu Aiqing," at this time, King Wei Hui had already looked at Wu Ming with suspicious eyes, and said, "Why don't you speak yet, this is not like you?" Isn't there something on your mind that can't be done? ”

Hearing this, Wu Ming just gave his hand lightly, but his expression was still flat: "Return, the words of the king." The minister thinks that seeking the welfare of the people of my Wei State is what he should do as a courtier, and it is within his duty. I really can't stand the praise of the king. ”

Chen Zhen's face turned blue for a while.

Since half a year ago, this court has almost become his Chen Zhen's stage. Although Hui Shi occupies a position, everything he does is a trivial matter, at most, he wants to investigate the people's feelings in various places. And in a word, life is not good.

Years of war, where it is said that it is good, it can be good. And other things were handed over to Chen Zhen and Wu Ming.

In Chen Zhen's heart, as an official, the king's rewards and praises have to be carried around, and the main thing is to satisfy the king. This time, Wu Ming's incorruptible appearance made her Chen Zhen a little uncomfortable. Even, Wu Ming's actions at this time had the move of slapping Chen Zhen in the face.

Glancing at the strange gazes cast by the other courtiers, Chen Zhen's face instantly turned a little colder, and the root of the tooth couldn't help biting.

But in fact, Wu Ming didn't think about it so much. He was thinking nothing more than something substantial. Since the substantive things can't be obtained, then this verbal praise might as well be forgotten.

"Huh. Wu Aiqing said yes. He smiled awkwardly.

Sensing that the situation was a little different at this time, King Wei Hui simply skipped the matter, and did not blame Wu Ming and Chen Zhen for it, but looked at Wu Ming directly and asked, "Aiqing is back this time, but there is something new to report to the widow?" Don't hide it from Aiqing, this widow is still talking about you last night. ”

"Back to the king, Weichen returned to the dynasty this time, and there was no happy event. It's just that there are some things, and I hope the king agrees. "As long as you go back to the court, you will have something to discuss, which is also a common thing.

But even so, King Wei Hui still looked excited and beaming: "Oh? Let's hear it, what did Wu Aiqing think of again? ”
