Chapter 30 The Difference Between the Inside and the Outside

"Isn't doing business about being a child? Why do you people still watch people bid? Yan Feiyan was angry in her heart, and naturally there were a few thorns in her words, as if she was a merchant from the Yue Kingdom, but in fact, she had already included the Yue King in front of her.

Sun Shao seemed very calm: "I'm really ashamed, I can't reach the realm of equality of all beings, in my eyes, there is a big difference between me and the people who cross the country." The rule of a saint is also divided into five suits, not to mention that I am not a saint, so it is natural to take care of my own people and be shy to outsiders. ”

"Since His Royal Highness is talking about saints, doesn't King Yue know the truth that virtue can come far by subduing people?"

Sun Shao smiled, did not answer Yan Feiyan immediately, picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, put the tea leaves to his mouth, and then raised his head to look at Yan Feiyan with a smug face, smiled, and said: "I don't know who the owner of the village is convincing people with virtue, who are coming?" ”

Yan Feiyan saw that Sun Shao was silent, thinking that what he said made Sun Shao feel ashamed and unable to answer, but he didn't expect Sun Shao to come to such a sentence, thinking that he had just been besieged by Wa'an with thousands of Yi people, and almost destroyed the village, and was robbed by Wa'an to be the wife of the village, and his face was immediately red.

Father Mu sighed, Yan Feiyan is really beyond his strength, your level of knowing your own name is still showing off in front of Sun Shao, isn't it boring to find yourself. He couldn't bear to see Yan Feiyan's embarrassment, so he gave a salute: "Dare to ask Your Highness, summon me and others to come, what are your orders." ”

"Daddy is too humble, I don't dare to give orders, but there are some things, I need to inform you, and at the same time, I want to discuss with Dad and the owner of the village to see how to deal with it." Sun Shao politely returned the salute, completely as an equal. Baihu Village is now independent in reading, although Father Mu is not the owner of the village, but he is the actual head of Baihu Village, Sun Shao is very polite to him.

Guan Chao stepped forward and told him the information he had just received. Wa'an fled to Luming Village, and Hei'an, the head of Luming Village, sent an invitation to the nearby village, and he came to besiege Jinguashan together, with about 20,000 people.

When Yan Feiyan heard this, her face turned pale, and she couldn't care about dealing with Sun Shao anymore. Although Wa'an and they came to attack Jinguashan, Jilong Mountain and Jinguashan are not far away, and they can't win against Sun Shao when the time comes, so they will clean up Baihuzhai by the way, which is also expected.

"Black Shore and Vaan are the two largest in the vicinity of Baili, Va'an lost a lot last time, but with the support of Black Bank, their strength is still not to be underestimated. 20,000 people, of course, are not worthy of His Royal Highness's heroes, but these barbarians have a strong sense of revenge, if they can't be wiped out, there will be endless troubles in the future. ”

Father Mu said in a deep voice, his eyes looking at the bookcase in front of Sun Shao, but Yu Guang was paying attention to Sun Shao's expression. He specifically said that the barbarian has a strong sense of revenge, just to remind Sun Shao that you have killed hundreds of them, and if you don't kill all Wa'an, he will continue to entangle. And if you want to kill Wa'an, you have to fight with the Black Bank again, either to wipe out more than 20,000 people on the Black Bank, or you will never have peace.

But what disappointed him was that Sun Shao didn't have any worried looks, he seemed very calm, just drinking tea quietly, and his hands were so steady that he didn't tremble at all. Chen Hai spit out the betel nut in his mouth with a "bah" and laughed disdainfully: "What can 20,000 barbarians with antlers do?" If you want to attack Jingua Mountain, it seems that there are too few. I've had itchy hands for the past two days, and I'm afraid that they won't come, so I'll just be able to relieve my hunger. ”

"Leave this kind of small war to me." He Da, who had not spoken, said lightly: "Please order Your Highness, I will immediately kill Benlu Mingzhai and cut off the head of the black bank and present it to His Highness." ”

Cui Qian was silent, sipping tea by himself, throwing an amla (olive) into his mouth from time to time, chewing slowly, and his slender eyes didn't look at Yan Feiyan and them. Ding Feng stood behind Sun Shao, not looking away.

"When you come, you naturally have to hit hard, kill the door, don't you need it?" Sun Shao put down the teacup and shook his head slowly: "Although the city has not been built yet, there are more than 10,000 troops guarding it, although there are many of those barbarians, they may not be able to take advantage of it. It's the White Tiger Village, the owner of the Yan Village, Daddy Mu, you are busy planting rice these days, but be careful, don't be tired for a day, and finally be touched by Wa'an and Hei'an. ”

He glanced at Yan Feiyan, shook his head regretfully and said, "Master Yan has good teeth, if he is knocked out, it is really not good-looking." ”

Yan Feiyan's face turned blue with anger, Mu Zhiqiu rolled his eyes, looked at Sun Shao, and then at Yan Feiyan, pouting and not saying a word. Chen Hai couldn't help but laugh and nodded again and again: "Yes, not only is it not good-looking, but it is also inconvenient to eat in the future." ”

"If that Wa'an lives in the White Tiger Village, it's really a nasty thing." Cui Qian frowned and said seriously.

It is customary for a woman to knock out a front tooth when she gets married, and a man has to stay in a woman's house for two or three years before he can take her back to his home. Sun Shao said this, they were reminding Yan Feiyan and Father Mu, don't think that this is my matter of Yue Guo, this is the matter of your White Tiger Village, and Wa'an is going to say that he will marry Yan Feiyan as the wife of the village.

The three of them have been together for a long time, and they have a very tacit understanding, and this singing and harmony is simply seamless. Where are Daddy Mu and Yan Feiyan their opponents, two sentences, one helpless, the other angry, both speechless.

Although Yan Feiyan was angry, but thinking about Baihu Village, she didn't dare to get angry, so she could only hold back her anger and choked: "Then what should I do, Your Highness is willing to lend a hand?" ”

Sun Shao shook his head: "It is needless to say that I support you, please come, I just want to know how you want us to support you, no matter what, we all came here across thousands of miles of sea, the so-called fellow villagers see the old countrymen, tears are in their eyes, not to mention that although you Baihu Village is not a citizen of my Yue country, but after all, it is in the land of Yue country, even if you are a guest, I can't let you be wronged." ”

Yan Feiyan was bitter and dared to love himself first, but now he is just a guest, and he is the master. If it weren't for the fact that her strength was not as good as others, Yan Feiyan really wanted to fight with Sun Shao to see who should be the master.

Father Mu didn't move, he looked at all this coldly, and his voice was a little hollow: "Dare to ask His Highness how to deal with the Yiren, will he come and go freely, or will he gradually be convinced?" ”

"Does Daddy think he'll be able to convince you?" Sun Shao turned his head and looked at Father Mu with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "Although I have more than 10,000 people, most of this radius of 100 miles is dense forests, and those Yi people come and go freely in the mountains and forests, and they are elusive. I, the king of Yue, only need to occupy the coastal area, and as for those mountainous areas, I will leave them to those Yi people for the time being. ”

Father Mu was confused by Sun Shao, listening to his meaning, it seemed that he only wanted to hold on to this one-third of an acre, and he didn't want to kill all the people. Yes, although Daddy Mu doesn't know much about the situation in Yizhou, he knows that several rich places in Yizhou are by the sea, although the places in the mountains are large, but there are few fields, and the people who mainly hunt are actually very poor.

Sun Shao only wants to occupy the seaside area, and does not want to pursue it in depth, it should be said that it is wise, as long as he builds a city by the sea, cultivates wasteland, and has enough force to defend the city, it should be said that although the Yiren are vicious, there is nothing to do with him. But Baihu Village is different, without Sun Shao's support, they can't resist the harassment of Yiren at all. Although the Yi people do not have sharp weapons, they are numerous, and they are fierce and good at fighting, they come and go like the wind in the mountains and forests, and they are not good at attacking the city, but they still have this ability to attack the White Tiger Village.

"I hope that there will be more and more people, so that my country can develop as soon as possible, but this twisted melon is not sweet, just like the White Tiger Village, I can force you to surrender now, but you are not convinced, and you want to flee all the time, so how can I rest assured? Rather than everyone being unhappy, it's better to go their own way, they don't come to mess with me, I don't mess with them, if they dare to mess with me, I'll give them a head-on blow, everyone is safe, politely be neighbors, wouldn't it be better? I think with my more than 10,000 water masters, there shouldn't be any tribe that can help me. Sun Shao smiled confidently, his face was full of irrelevance, and he hung high: "So, I invite you here today to ask if you have anything you need our help with, if you can solve it yourself, of course it would be great." To be honest, I'm busy building a city, and I really don't have much time to fight the Yi people. ”

"If our White Tiger Village is taken away by Wa'an, I'm afraid that the harvest of those rice fields will not be sold to His Highness again, right?" Yan Feiyan calmed down and tried her best to keep herself calm and not be blackmailed by Sun Shao.

"If Vaan doesn't want to cooperate with me, I'll probably have to rob it." Sun Shao touched his chin and said very seriously: "This Wa'an is unruly, and he is indeed not a good ally. ”

Yan Feiyan was frightened enough by Sun Shao's first half of the sentence, she was really afraid that Sun Shao would rather give up the White Tiger Village, and when she heard that Sun Shao was dissatisfied with Wa'an, she breathed a sigh of relief, so there should be a little bit of a turnaround. She hurriedly said: "Wa'an is a barbarian, he only knows how to kill, where does he know how to cooperate, if he occupies the White Tiger Village, I'm afraid this field will not be cleaned up." If Your Highness wants to harvest after autumn, he should join forces with my White Tiger Village to repel Wa'an. ”

"That's what I said." Sun Shao smiled: "Then the master of Yan Zhai said, how do you want me to help you, and then I will quote you a price, this is a different way to help, but there are different prices." I'm really sorry, my brother is settling accounts, I'm a businessman, I'm used to it, and I ask for your understanding. ”

Yan Feiyan was so angry that she couldn't speak because of Sun Shao's calm attitude. She understands now, the king of Yue in front of her is a shameless commodity who wants money, and he is definitely the first one in the past, no matter how shameless the king is, he must always save some face and say something about the scene, only him, he doesn't want any face, he is money when he opens and closes, and even help is clearly priced.

"Your Highness might as well make a price first, and we'll see which one we can choose." Yan Feiyan said in a cold voice angrily.

Sun Shao didn't think it was angry, with a gesture of his hand, Gu Tan walked over with a piece of paper and spread it in front of Yan Feiyan, Yan Feiyan glanced at it and was immediately stupid. There are three plans written on it, first, to ensure the safety of the whole village of Baihu Village, there is no shortage of grain particles, and the price: Baihu Village is under the jurisdiction of the Yue Kingdom, and since then it has been under the command of the King of Yue, Yan Feiyan can be the first owner of the village, but the selection of the owner of the village is decided by the King of Yue. Second, the cost of sending troops from Vietnam to join forces with Baihu Village: All the expenses of the defense personnel, including equipment, food, military salaries, and compensation for casualties, are all borne by Baihu Village. Third, the policy should be similar to the second article, but the number of people is decided by the king of Yue, whether to attack, also by the Yue side of the country, depending on the situation, the corresponding price is much lower, and you can pay afterwards, everyone according to the merits of the war to divide the spoils, the white tiger village only needs to symbolize the surname to pay a little deposit.

This is not a war, this is a commercial contract.

"Are you still an ally?" Yan Feiyan was furious.

Sun Shao was surprised: "If it's not an ally, what can I do for you?" If it's not an ally, I'll team up with Wa'an to fight you White Tiger Village. ”

Yan Feiyan laughed angrily: "Since this is the case, then you and Wa'an will fight the White Tiger Village, I will lead more than a thousand people and young people to wait for you in the village." After speaking, he got up and left, and when Mu Zhiqiu saw it, he hurriedly followed. Father Mu sat still and didn't move, leaned over and took the paper in front of Yan Feiyan's desk, squinted his eyes and looked at it for a while, then put down the paper and smiled: "Your Highness is in a good mood, you actually joke about this." ”

Sun Shao also smiled, straightened his waist and collapsed, and waved his hand: "Come, prepare some wine and food, I'll talk to my father." Jianzhong, a few of you are all scattered, and go and do your own thing. Guan Chao, you stay. ”

"Whoa." Everyone responded, each going to do their own thing, Guan Chao sat behind Sun Shao, quietly listening to their conversation.

Daddy Mu sipped the wine and tasted the wine dishes on the table. The dish is not complicated, it is just a few grilled fish, but what puzzles Daddy Mu is that the taste of these fish is very different from the fish he has eaten, the fish is a common fish, but the taste is completely different.

"Some of the spices in here came from Tianzhu." Sun Shao explained: "It was brought by the merchant of Zhuya, and it was not long after I arrived, and I didn't have time to give some to my father to taste. Dad, you can't imagine how valuable this spice is, we don't take it seriously, but the people of Daqin use it as gold. ”

"As gold?" Father Mu grinned, he wanted to laugh but didn't laugh, he felt that Sun Shao was fooling him, but looking at Sun Shao's expression, he couldn't see the slightest joke.

"Well, the people of Daqin carried a boatload of gold to Tianzhu, and then exchanged it for a shipload of spices back to Daqin, they used these as gold, only nobles can use it, ordinary people usually want to use this, just like our people have a New Year's Day."

"That'...... Wouldn't that make you rich? Daddy Mu said unconfidently.

"Of course." Sun Shao said with a smile: "However, although these are valuable, they can't be eaten as food, people, only when you have a full stomach can you think of eating better." Daddy, you say yes, right? ”

"That's, that's." Father Mu nodded again and again, he took a sip of wine, ate another piece of fish, and then sighed: "When I was in Wu County, those officials were pressing, and they worked hard all year long, and even the last handful of rice in the family was taken away by those dog officials, and I really couldn't survive, so I had to follow Yan Ye to rebel." Later, the meal was finally eaten, and they wanted to eat better, but after working hard for a long time, many brothers died, and they had a little foundation, and they wanted to live a little more comfortably, and they didn't want to be managed by others, so they wanted to be officials themselves, so they ...... Alas, who would have thought to ...... last"

Daddy Mu remembered what happened at the beginning, and he was sad. Sun Ce sent someone to recruit Yan Baihu, but Yan Baihu himself became the boss, how could he easily bow to Sun Ce? He calculated that his strength was no worse than Sun Ce, so he was very dissatisfied with Sun Ce's promise, and the two sides started fighting, but he didn't expect that although Sun Ce had few people, he was very capable of fighting, and the second master who could sit and jump was proud of his strong martial arts skills, and went to negotiate with Sun Ce, and wanted to kill Sun Ce in court, but he died in the hands of Sun Ce, and the army's heart was shaken, and he was defeated and out of control. Now that I think about it, the conditions that Sun Ce promised at the beginning were already very good, but Yan Baihu's mind was too big at that time, so he didn't talk about it.

Daddy Mu thought of it now, does Baihu Village have the strength to read Sun Shao's existence? Sun Shao is generous and did not force Baihuzhai to surrender, but he can also stand by and watch, which is not too much. But Baihuzhai has other enemies, without Sun Shao's help, Baihuzhai is not Yiren's opponent at all, and it is impossible to surrender to Sun Shao in the end.

Yan Feiyan is not sensible, she doesn't know that this is the last chance given by Sun Shao, if she misses this opportunity, there is only one way for Baihu Village to perish, since she still has to surrender in the end, why not surrender while she still has the strength now, and wait until she is killed and injured by the Yi people before surrendering to Sun Shao?

"Dad, things are the same, people are the same, you can see this, it's really not easy." Sun Shao raised his cup: "Let's drink this cup together, I wish my father good health and a long life." ”

"Hehe, the old man is disrespectful, Your Highness, please." Daddy Mu smiled and drank it all. He put down the glass, pursed his lips tightly, as if tasting wine, and said after a while: "Your Highness just said that there is a difference between inside and outside, and the old man dares to ask, how is this the difference between inside and outside?" ”

Sun Shao had expected it, he knew that his father didn't go out with Yan Feiyan, he just wanted to negotiate with him. He thought for a moment, organized his language, and said, "Daddy, let's make an analogy. Our Yue country is a family, and I, the king of Yue, am the patriarch. In such a big family, there may be hundreds of people, although everyone has the same surname, but after all, it will be a little different, Dad, don't you? ”

Father Mu narrowed his eyes, pondered for a moment, and nodded: "This is natural, between these rooms, the long room always has to take advantage of something." ”

"That's what Daddy said." Sun Shao echoed: "Changfang is an authentic heir, of course, it should be given priority. And the others, the same father is a brother, the same grandfather is a brother and a brother, the same great-grandfather, the same ancestor is a brother and a brother, among them, there will be some differences between distant and close relatives, it is not an easy task to have a bowl of water evenly. There is a difference in the length of a hand stretched out, let alone a person? ”

"Hmm." Father Mu agreed, and listened to Sun Shao continue.

"The father's family is like this, and the same is true of the mother's family, as the saying goes, one generation of relatives, two representatives, three generations will be pulled down, and this is beyond the three generations, I'm afraid no one knows anyone."

"Hey, hey, hey......" Father Mu couldn't help laughing, he hadn't heard of Sun Shao's saying, but when he thought about it, it was indeed like this, whether it was cousins or clan relatives, it usually faded in the third generation, so the powerful family likes to be close to each other, and likes to be close to each other, but I am afraid that this blood will be weak and the relationship will be far away.

"I, the king of Yue, who should I be good to?" Sun Shao raised a finger: "First, of course, the soldiers who followed me to fight the country, they risked killing their heads with me, equivalent to my family, I can't treat them badly, so I want to give them the best." ”

"Second, I will do good to my people, because they have worked hard, grown food with their sweat, and fed me, and are equal to my people, and I cannot do them any wrong. Thirdly, there are those allies, who are equivalent to my relatives and have common interests with me, with whom I want to share. Fourth, it is those neighbors, distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, and having a good neighbor can sometimes help a little, so it is also appropriate to get along well. Fifth, it is an irrelevant person, it can't help much, and it may not be harmful, everyone is polite, you don't offend me, I don't offend you, if you offend me, I will definitely not spare you, tooth for eye, eye for eye, this is needless to say. The last one is the enemy, if you don't mess with him, he wants to mess with you, what should I do? When the strength is not as good as that of others, endure it, and destroy him with one foot of strength, cut the grass and eradicate the roots, and never suffer in the future. ”

Father Mu was terrified when he heard it, this King Yue is not hypocritical, and he is like a mirror in his heart about what means to use against whom.

"Daddy, do you think I'm right?" Sun Shao put away his fierce face and said with a smile.

Father Mu laughed strongly: "King, this is very different from the statement of a sage who rules the world with benevolence and virtue." ”

"No, the sage rules the country, and it is divided into five suits." Sun Shao said of course: "The so-called kissing and virtuous people, that is also very clear, but later some crooked guys, a good book of scriptures crooked, do not cherish their own family, but to please the enemy, suppress the family in every way, but to the enemy to be subservient and knees, all kinds of flattery, cold the heart of the family, full of the enemy's will, in the end the family heart is scattered, the enemy did not treat him as a person, such a person does not betray his relatives and leave that is still the reason?" Daddy, think about it, your son is not in good pain, but he takes the last bite of bread to save the enemy's life, such a person does not deserve to die, who deserves to die? If the head of a family is like this, the family will be defeated, and if the monarch of a country is like this, the country will perish, this is the principle of heaven. ”

Sun Shao's voice was very loud, as if he was arguing with someone, he waved his arms, his face was a little red, obviously a little excited, and he saw that Daddy Mu's heart was palpitating, and at the same time his blood was boiling. He didn't understand the great principles of those relatives and virtuous people, but he intuitively realized that this is what a king of a country should look like.

(To be continued)
