But Wang Shichong vaguely felt a calm and calm temperament under the raunchy appearance of this person, the person's eyes were shining, Shenhua was contained, obviously not an ordinary person, and although this dress was down, it was by no means the kind of market atmosphere of ordinary beggars, Wang Shichong had seen a lot of people in two eras, and temperament would not change with a person's dress, it was an intrinsic, deep bone marrow trait.

At that time, the talented man Wang Meng grabbed the fleas on his body while talking about the world, and was shocked by the former Qin Emperor Fu Jian as a celestial, and thus began a twenty-year match made in heaven, and this Taoist, will it be his own Wang Meng?

Wang Shichong got off his horse, walked to a horse that was placed next to the stall in front of the man, sat down, and asked calmly, "Sir, but you can tell fortunes?" ”

The Daoist squinted his eyes slightly, as if he wasn't looking at Wang Shichong, and coughed: "Guest officer, it is clearly written on the guise of the poor road, that is, God calculates good fortune and evil, and iron mouth talks about yin and yang." He pointed to a piece of cloth behind him, and on the dirty curtain, there were indeed these two lines of words.

Wang Shichong smiled slightly: "Why is Mr. still here at this time to tell fortunes?" There is no one on the street on this big night, aren't you afraid that there will be no business? ”

The Taoist shook his head: "Poor fortune-telling is not for money, but for those who are destined." The daytime market is bustling, mostly for people who are vying for fame and fortune, not people who are destined for my life, so they set up stalls in the middle of the night. ”

Wang Shichong became more and more sure in his heart. This man must have done it on purpose. I want to find a worthy master. Now Yang Jian has abolished the world's learning, which almost cuts off the possibility of ordinary scholars relying on talent to learn and take the exam to become officials, in recent years, the world's scholars are full of resentment, most of them can only join some of the generals who have the right to open the government as staff, or do some civil servants' doormen, and a few people learn from the ancient hermit, escape into the mountains, especially run to Zhongnan Mountain to pretend to be a hermit. I hope to use my good name to win the favor of the emperor in order to achieve glory and wealth.

It's a pity that Yang Jian is not one of those emperors of the Southern Dynasty who loves to be famous, and he doesn't eat this set at all, and in the past four years, not a single hermit has been recruited, and the hermits are not real immortals, they always have to eat fireworks in the world, so many people have been fake Taoists for a long time, and they have become true Taoists, and they roam the streets and alleys. While relying on fortune telling to earn some money for food, I also hope to find a master who knows the goods. After all, taking the initiative to run up to be a doorman is not the same as letting people fall in love with their own skills.

Wang Shichong has seen a lot of such fake Taoist priests and false hermits along the way, most of them have no real talents, but this kind of people like to drill near the yamen of high-ranking officials and nobles, even if they are so poor that they have been interrupted for three days, they have to put on a new dress, smear some oil on their mouths, and look like they are mixed well, and they have the appearance of a pair of fairy wind bones.

But the person in front of him is obviously doing the opposite, and Wang Shichong's intuition tells him that this should be a person with real talent and learning, as for what kind of talent he is, and whether he is related to himself, it depends on the result of this conversation.

Wang Shichong smiled slightly: "I don't know what Mr. Dao is, where is he a monk?" ”

The Taoist finally opened his eyes, and at that moment his eyes flashed with a bright light, fleeting, he looked at Wang Shichong carefully, and said slowly: "The poor Dao Law is on the Xuanxia Cheng, the giant deer people, wandering all over the world, just a wandering party, I see that the guest officer looks extraordinary, when he is not a very person, that is, rich and expensive, dare to ask if he is an official of the imperial court?" ”

Wang Shichong said "oh": "Why did Mr. say this, whether I am an official or not, whether I am rich or not, you can see it at a glance?" ”

Xuan Chengdao smiled slightly: "Don't say anything in front of a real person, the guest officer threw ten thousand gold outside the city, and then the BMW gave the strong man, and then entered the official post under the escort of the prince of the assassin Shi, and then the carriage and horse entered the palace, and returned late at night, who would it be if it was not the old friend who came to assassinate the history?" With your boldness and boldness of spending thousands of dollars without changing your face, as well as the skill of making friends with warriors at any cost, coupled with this seven-point Turkic face, I am afraid that you are the legendary richest man in the world, Wang Shichong, a member of the military department. ”

Wang Shichong was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "I didn't expect Mr. to stare at it early this morning, if Wang Mou's expectation is not bad, Mr. is here to tell fortunes, I'm afraid it is also specially for me." ”

Xuan Cheng Dao shook his head with a smile: "The history of the assassin is also a famous generation of famous generals, do not hide from the king, the poor road is here, originally for the history of the Cheng assassin or the history of the assassination, but I didn't expect to see the world-famous Wang Yuan today, the poor Dao just said, a qiē with the fate, today Cheng the history of the assassin is angry, to the history of the assassin is closed, and Wang Yuanwai is willing to stop in the middle of the night to talk with such a poor and sour Taoist person, this is the God arranged for the poor Dao to meet you, that is, the fate of the poor Dao. ”

Wang Shichong looked at the streets on the left and right, there was no one, in the distance, except for the sound of beating people, only two wild dogs were barking from time to time, he nodded, and said in a low voice: "This is not a place to speak, Wang is not talented, dare to ask Mr. to go to the pavilion to talk about it, and Mr. Wen will talk about it." ”

Xuan Cheng Daoist nodded: "It's an honor." He stood up, closed the stall, put a pile of fortune-telling props into a back box, carried it behind his back, and then took the cover and stood up. Wang Shichong didn't ride a horse, he led the horse all the way, walked side by side with the Taoist, and returned to the official post all the way.

After entering the post station, Wang Shichong instructed Zhang Jincheng to stay outside, and invited the Xuancheng Taoist into his room, and sat down as the guest and host, Wang Shichong said to the Xuancheng Taoist: "Mr. doesn't look like a Taoist, is it to dress up like this, is he trying to ask the official to enter?" ”

Xuancheng Taoist sighed slightly, and said: "Don't hide it from the king, in the next is not a Taoist, in the next surname Wei, a single name a sign, Hebei Julu people's name, this Xuancheng, just in the next word, is used in the next number, in the next like to read, but also want to learn to become a martial arts, sold to the emperor's family, originally in the state of the township test won the first, but unfortunately five years ago the emperor edict, abolished the world of the countryside school, so in the next Beijing to catch the exam. The path to Taixue was cut off. Due to the death of both parents since childhood. has no family background, and no one has introduced him, so he can only make this decision, put on a Taoist robe, wander the rivers and lakes, and eat with fortune tellers while looking for someone who can afford to look at me Wei Zheng, in order to make a career. ”

Wang Shichong smiled: "It turned out to be Mr. Wei." Disrespectful and disrespectful, I don't know what Mr. has learned, what do I think I can do to give full play to Mr.'s strengths? ”

Wei Zhengzheng said: "I have been reading scriptures and history since I was a child, and I have also studied various miscellaneous studies, except for the art of war, there is no in-depth study, for astronomy and geography, astrological divination, abacus financial management, and drafting documents. and even strategize and win the way of thousands of miles. All of them are slightly familiar with one or two, in a word, what is learned in the next is the learning of the world, rather than sticking to ancient books and classics, looking for chapters and excerpts to make a rotten Confucian ear. ”

Wang Shichong was secretly happy in his heart, what he wanted to find was this kind of practical talent, if he competed for the world in the future, then the management of soldiers, horses, money and grain, the deduction of temple calculations, and the drafting of documents, all need such specialized talents, not the kind of pure literati who can only chant poems against each other, according to this standard, the famous Li Baiyao is not his dish, and this Wei Zheng actually said that he is good at these practical knowledge, which made Wang Shichong happy.

But Wang Shichong didn't want to just listen to Wei Zheng's words, he groaned for a while, and shouted outside: "Jin Cheng, please come over and say that I have something important to discuss." ”

Not long after, the Yi Cheng rubbed his sleepy eyes and walked over, if he had been replaced by someone else, he would have been scolded for his mother in the middle of the night, but for the sake of the God of Wealth, he still arrived as soon as possible, and when he saw Wang Shichong, his face was full of smiles: "Outside the king, what do you command?" ”

Wang Shichong smiled slightly: "Excuse me, can you take the account books of your pavilion last year?" ”

Yi Cheng was stunned for a moment: "Outside the king, who are you?" ”

Wang Shichong took out a 1,000-dollar money ticket from his sleeve: "I made a bet with this gentleman to see his ability to settle accounts, and now I can't find any suitable account books for a while, so I borrowed the account books of your pavilion last year and used them, oh, by the way, please take the four treasures of the study and an abacus." ”

Wei Zheng smiled slightly, but didn't speak, and Yi Chengfei also rushed forward, took the money ticket, stuffed it into his arms, and smiled all over his face: "Wait a minute, I'll take it for you." Saying that, he turned around and trotted all the way, and soon, he personally carried a tray with pen, ink, paper, inkstone, and two account books that were not thick or thin, and there was a big abacus on the paper, ran over, put it on the small case in front of Wei Zheng, and his nose twitched twice unconsciously, and then walked away with a look of disgust.

Wang Shichong stood up and said to Wei Zheng: "There is Mr. Lao." ”

Wei Zheng stretched out his hands from his sleeves, his ten fingers were wrong, he moved his wrists, and his bones crackled, and said with a smile: "I haven't settled accounts for a long time, and I don't know what else to count." As he spoke, he turned the first page of the account book above, his eyes flashed, he took the brush with his right hand, moistened it in the inkstone, and began to play the abacus with his left hand, and wrote on the paper with his right hand.

Wei Zheng's movements were extremely fast, there were words in his mouth, Wang Shichong's hearing was very good, he could hear him gently chanting abacus mantras, while remembering the numbers he had just calculated, and after adding a few numbers, he wrote them down on the paper, and then turned the account book with his left hand, turned a new page, and then put down the pen like a dragon and snake, and continued to calculate new accounts.

Wang Shichong himself is an arithmetic expert, naturally knows very well, this Wei Zheng seems to not only be able to and the abacus method, but also the same as An Suiyu will also be Tianzhu people's multiplication and division method, it is really out of Wang Shichong's expectations, at the beginning of this Wei Zheng's algorithm and speed is still a little slow, probably as he said for a long time has not been calculated like this, but later the faster and faster the calculation, almost the left hand keeps turning over the account book, and then on the abacus "crackling" a call, the right hand does not stop to write down a few numbers, And the speed of this algorithm is almost the same as the speed of Wang Shichong himself when he counts the second volume.

Zhang Jin said that he and Na Yicheng had never seen such a powerful arithmetic master, they were dumbfounded, their mouths were wide open, and they couldn't speak, that is, half an hour's effort, Wei Zheng finished the last page of the second account book, wrote down the last number on the paper, and let out a long breath: "Last year's accounts totaled 57,426 yuan allocated by the imperial court, and the income was 31,222 yuan, and all the expenses added together were 82,157 yuan. The final balance was six thousand four hundred and ninety-one dollars. Right. ”

There was an unbelievable look on the face of the Yicheng: "You, you, you." You're not human, are you? How can it be calculated so clearly? Today, according to Wang Shichong's instructions, he only took the original account book, and the final income and expenditure figures were only clear to him, but this Wei Zheng was not bad, which made him wonder if he had met an immortal.

Wang Shichong nodded, picked up the few sheets of paper in front of Wei Zheng that had not dried the ink, and after reading a few pages, his heart moved. Suddenly, he said, "Mr. Wei, do you remember the account in April last year?" ”

Wei Zheng smiled slightly: "The imperial court allocation in April is 4,527 yuan, and the monthly income is 3,266 yuan, because in this month, we received several groups of officials who went to Jizhou and Youzhou, as well as the imperial court sent to Youzhou to inspect the imperial history, so seven new men were recruited temporarily, and the food expenses were relatively large, and it took 11,426 yuan, so this month was a loss of 3,633 yuan." ”

Wang Shichong laughed: "I didn't expect that Mr. Wei is not only good at arithmetic, but also has an amazing memory." Wang admired. ”

Wei Zheng's expression was calm: "If you can't even count these two small post book books, you can't remember them." After that, how can the logistics and military needs of the army, or the personnel expenses of thousands of officers and officials, be able to cope with it? If I don't have this talent, I don't dare to look for the king to be embarrassed and indiscriminate. ”

Wang Shichong nodded, and said to Zhang Jincheng and Yicheng on the side: "There are two Lao, I still have something to discuss with this Mr. Wei, and please avoid it." Jin said that he disturbed Yicheng's good dream today, and he will send him back to rest on my behalf in a while. ”

Na Yi Cheng said repeatedly: "Wang Yuanwai is too polite, I saw such a wonderful performance today, this is much better than sleeping, anyway, my Hun family has been grinding his teeth and snoring, and I haven't slept well." ”

Wang Shichong smiled and took out a blank money ticket from his sleeve, wrote a five hundred on it, and handed it to Yicheng: "Today's matter, please also ask Yicheng to keep it secret, Wang is grateful." ”

Yi Cheng's eyes began to shine, this time even the superficial excuse was waived, he took the money ticket and put it in his arms, and said with a smile: "How embarrassing is this, don't worry, don't worry, I won't say anything about killing me!"

Zhang Jin said that he left with Yicheng, closed the door smoothly, Wang Shichong sat back on his couch, looked at Wei Zheng and smiled: "Mr. Wei, when it is peaceful today, how can you say anything about the logistics and military needs of this army?" Could it be that you want to join a certain general's subordinates and serve as a staff member in the future? ”

Wei Zheng smiled slightly: "Wang Yuanwai, Wei sincerely came to vote, hoping to open his heart and communicate with the staff outside, you left Daxing at this time, appeared in this Hebei land, and today BMW gave a strong man, is it really just to take a look?" ”

Wang Shichong's heart moved, and secretly said that this Wei Zheng is so powerful, he directly counterattacks and attacks, but he is afraid that his intention to come here has been seen through for him, but he is more interested in seeing this Wei Zheng's views on the general trend of the world, after all, the abacus is good, and he is just a talent who joins the army, and the ability to strategize and win thousands of miles is what he is most interested in.

So Wang Shichong remained silent and said lightly: "Then according to Mr. Wang's opinion, what did Wang do when he came to Hebei?" ”

Wei Zhengzheng said: "When the situation is today, it is very clear, although the emperor has twenty years of reign, which can be called a prosperous era, but the improper handling of the heir issue is now irreparable, and there will be no problems when he is alive, but once the emperor returns to the sky, the princes will inevitably be brothers against the wall and make the world chaotic." ”

Wang Shichong's face sank: "Mr. Wei, be cautious!"

Wei Zheng laughed: "Outside the king, Wei has nothing else, some are just a sincere heart, just now Wei said that he is willing to meet the master and fellowship with his heart, if it is Wei, the king does not like to listen, then Wei will leave now." Then he got up and wanted to leave.

Wang Shichong stood up with a smile and waved his hand: "Sir, please calm your anger, it was Wang who was rude and offended just now, it is said that as an official of the imperial court, he should not discuss state affairs here, but Wang is very close to Mr., and I also want to hear Mr.'s views on the overall situation. ”

Wei Zheng sat down and continued: "The emperor now keeps the abolished crown prince Yang Yong and the abolished Shu king Yang Xiu in Daxing City, and grants Yang Liang, the king of Han in Bingzhou, the right to control the entire Guanbei Qi hometown and act cheaply. Originally, the Turks had fallen, and in addition to a few border areas, there was no need to leave heavy troops, and the emperor had ordered the withdrawal of the government soldiers of the Kanto states as early as after the destruction of Chen, but in the past two years, the military strength of the state has been strengthened, and now the standing elite that can be directly used in the hands of the king of Han is not less than 200,000, and even the number exceeds the number of the imperial court's troops in Guanzhong, which is obviously that the emperor is not very at ease with the current prince, and the king of Han needs to contain him. ”

"The past events of the past dynasties have repeatedly proved that if there is too much strength in the hands of the prince who inherits the throne, it will form a huge threat to the imperial court, and even take the throne and stand on his own, far away from the rebellion of the seven kings of the Han Dynasty, and some of the recent rebellion of the eight kings of the Western Jin Dynasty, these are the old things that shook the whole world and ruined a dynasty. Now in order to balance the new prince and vigorously support the king of Han, he will be fine during his lifetime, but after his death, the kings will attack each other, and the world will be in chaos.
