Xue Ne and Xie Wan were not polite, the wine fight three months ago, until now they still remember it vividly, Li Tao was one against two, and he drank the two of them under the table, until the second day, he was still top-heavy and weak. But Li Tao started training in the barracks in good spirits the next day.

It was still three rounds of drinking, and the three of them opened the conversation.

"Lantian King, I want to ask you something!" Xie Wan hesitated.

"General Xie is not polite, please speak up, I know everything!"

"Lantian King, have you really never led soldiers?"

"Of course I didn't bring soldiers, how could I lie to you?" Li Tao said with a smile.

"If you haven't brought any soldiers, how can you put this Yulin and Wanqi into good order within three months? You know, even those of us who have been in the army for many years can't do this when we get into a new army. ”

"Actually, it's all the same, haven't you all seen it? It's nothing more than leading by example, rewarding and punishing, and training rigorously. Speaking of this, Li Tao smiled and said, "Of course, just add a little more money." ”

"Add a little money?" Xue Ne's eyes widened: "You conduct a military exercise competition once a month, and the first place in each project will be rewarded with five hundred yuan, and there will be a bounty ranging from ten to one hundred yuan if you enter the hundredth place." I made a rough calculation, in the past three months, you have scattered nearly 10,000 yuan of money, which is also called a little money? . ”

Xie Wan said: "Old Xue, it seems that King Lantian's method of governing the army, we can't learn it in our lifetime!" ”

Xue Ne shook his head: "You can't learn to throw money, but King Lantian leads by example, which is real." Eating in the barracks for three months, living in the barracks, patrolling day and night, that is obvious to all. No wonder the sergeants will obey you. ”

Xie Wan echoed: "I have been in the army for forty years, and I am also known for my strict military discipline, but it is also better than the military discipline of Yulin and Wanqi now. Let's just say that this Chen Xuanli and Ge Shunfu, one is General Zuo Yulin, and the other is General Right Yulin, and they can be regarded as old men from Yulin. They violated military discipline, you didn't hesitate to beat the military stick, not only did they have no resentment. And if you are convinced, how can Yulin Wanqi not be disciplined? ”

Li Tao said mysteriously: "I'll tell you a secret!" ”

"What's the secret?"

"Chen Xuanli and Ge Shunfu have an old relationship with me, and this violation of discipline and the punishment of the military stick are all planned in advance!"

"Huh?" Xue Ne and Xie Wan were stunned at first. Then it dawned on me.

"Bitter Meat Trick!"

"Kill a hundred people!"

Li Tao nodded.

"Lantian King is so calculating!" Xue Ne and Xie Wan gave Li Tao a thumbs up.

"Soldiers don't get tired of cheating!" After that, Li Tao asked tentatively: "Two generals, what we said at the beginning ......?"

Xue Ne smiled and said, "I keep King Lantian's orders in mind." Here you go! ”

Xue Ne handed over something: "This is my many years of experience and a little humble opinion. It's all written on it, if King Lantian doesn't dislike it, you can refer to one or two details. ”

"And mine, Lantian King!" Xie Wan also handed over his booklet.

"Thank you to the two old generals!" Li Tao bowed deeply to the two.

……

Just after the Shangyuan Festival in the second year of Jingyun, Li Dan proposed to pass the throne to the crown prince Li Longji in the court, and asked the ministers if it was feasible. Most of the ministers were princesses of Taiping, so they were silent, and Li Dan had no choice but to announce his retirement from the dynasty. Let the ministers go home and think about it and give an answer as soon as possible.

Li Longji quickly appeared on the table. made it clear that he resolutely did not dare to take on the big responsibility, and insisted on Li Dan's succession. Princess Taiping was in Puzhou, and it was inconvenient to express her position directly, but she sent her henchmen to persuade Ruizong not to give up power. In desperation, Li Dan had no choice but to continue to be his emperor. At this time,

Li Dan revealed the idea of passing on the throne, which made Princess Taiping a little unbreathable, and she decided to attack Li Longji.

But Li Longji was still ignorant, and he didn't seem to realize the approach of danger at all.

……

"Ah Tao, this is Hu Feng, the richest man in Chang'an!" Fan Changfeng introduced to Li Tao.

"Shopkeeper Wang, this is the King of Lantian!" Dong Shaoqing smiled at Wang Hufeng and said: "All the business names of the Fan family belong to Lantian Wang, including all the business philosophy of the Fan family, which is the meaning of Lantian Wang. ”

"I heard the name of Lantian King for a long time, but I didn't expect Lantian King to be a master of the shopping mall." Speaking of this, Wang Hufeng laughed self-deprecatingly: "I have been fighting with the Fan family for so long, I don't know who the opponent is, how can I be undefeated, I am not unjustly defeated!" ”

Li Tao said lightly: "The shopkeeper Wang is polite, you are in a hurry to see me, I don't know what to say?" ”

"Lantian Wang, I want to join the Fan family, I don't know if it's possible?" Wang Hufeng said bluntly.

Fan Changfeng and Dong Shaoqing couldn't help but show joy on their faces when they heard Wang Hufeng say this, they knew that if Wang Hufeng could really join the Fan family's firm, his strength would be greatly strengthened, and they set their sights on Li Tao.

Li Tao was still unfazed: "I don't know why the shopkeeper Wang wants to join the Fan family, and what are his plans after joining the Fan family?" ”

Wang Hufeng did not hide it, and said his thoughts: "Through the competition with Fan, I know very well that I can't fight Fan. I am a person who understands and knows the truth that those who know the times are junjie, and it is better to surrender early than to be eliminated in the end. I think that after the Fan clan has me joining, not only the entire Chang'an City, but also the surrounding areas of Chang'an will be firmly controlled by us. ”

Li Tao shook his head and said, "I'm very sorry, shopkeeper Wang, I can't accept you." ”

Li Tao's answer not only surprised Wang Hufeng, but also surprised Fan Changfeng and Dong Shaoqing.

"Blue ...... Lantian Wang, can you tell me why? Wang Hufeng was a little unfavorable when he spoke.

"I know that you have a huge fortune, and joining the Fan Clan will greatly increase the strength of the Fan Clan. But that's why I'm turning you down. Because your business philosophy is completely different from mine, if you bring your money to join Fan's, you will become the biggest obstacle to Fan's development in the future. ”

Li Tao's words made Wang Hufeng stunned, and for a long time, he asked sneeringly: "I don't know what Lantian Wang's business philosophy is?" ”

Li Tao didn't know how to explain to Wang Hufeng, and he didn't know how to explain Wang Hufeng in order to understand. Not to mention Wang Hufeng, even Fan Changfeng and Dong Shaoqing may not understand their own thinking, after all, it is now more than a thousand years away from the afterlife in which they live.

Li Tao thought for a while, and said to Wang Hufeng: "Shopkeeper Wang, let me tell you a story!" ”

"Lantian King, please speak, I'll listen to you!"

Li Tao sorted out his thoughts for a while, and said slowly: "Once upon a time, there was a master of immortal cultivation in the mountain, and it was said that he could do anything, as long as he wanted to do something, he would definitely be able to do it. Everyone in the world wants to find this master and help him solve such and such difficulties, but unfortunately this master Shenlong can't see the head and the end, and few people can find him. But there was a beggar who persevered, and relied on begging to find this master, and finally found this master one day ten years later. The master is already a lot of age, and he told the beggar with a smile that it was because the beggar's spirit moved him that he was willing to meet the beggar, otherwise, the beggar would not be able to see him even if he looked for another ten years.
