Chapter 13 Yangcheng Zhang's Family
After hesitating for a moment, Chen Sheng said with a bitter face: "Gongzi Zhang, I understand your kindness, but recently the old man in the family is sick, and I can't travel far!" Chen Sheng suddenly remembered that he still had the responsibility of learning from the teacher, if he abandoned his studies, the teacher might be unhappy, compared with the teacher's unhappiness, the little remuneration earned by Zhang Liang was really not worth it.
"It doesn't matter." Zhang Liang said: "My caravan will not depart until half a month later, so there is enough time for you to prepare." You think about it. After speaking, Zhang Liang greeted Han Cheng and the others and left.
At this point, Zhang Liang's meaning has been expressed clearly enough. Chen Sheng looked entangled, very ununderstanding, what did this Zhang Liang like about himself, and let himself stay by his side? Chen Shengke didn't have the consciousness of dying as a confidant, but he just felt that Zhang Liang's behavior was quite contrived and suspicious.
After Zhang Liang and the others left, Zhou Wen walked over from a distance, and his attitude towards Chen Sheng became more and more gentle. In front of Zhang Liang, he didn't even have the qualifications to listen to the sidelines, but Chen Sheng could sit on the side and talk and laugh with Zhang Liang, just by virtue of this, his attitude towards Chen Sheng was enough to undergo earth-shaking changes.
"Brother Chen, what did this Zhang Gongzi say to you?" Zhou Wen seemed to be a little careless, but in fact he inquired very attentively about the relationship between Chen Sheng and Zhang Liang.
"Nothing." Chen Sheng shook his head and said with a smile: "It seems that Gongzi Zhang wants to ask me to be the veterinarian of his caravan. "
Hearing this, Zhou Wen's face was a little strange. He knew that Chen Sheng knew a little about medical skills, but he knew better that there were no talents in Zhang Liang's caravan, even if there was a lack of veterinarians, there would be people going to Zhang Luo to look for him, how could he use Zhang Liang to personally go out to find such a hairy boy?
"That's it?" Zhou Wen asked puzzled.
"Of course." Chen Sheng was a little curious and asked, "Steward Zhou, what does this Zhang Gongzi do for a living?" "
The Zhang family itself was a nobleman in the old land of Korea, and later Shouteng of Nanyang County, South Korea, rebelled against Korea, defected to the Qin people, and was named the internal history. Nei Shi Teng led the army to destroy Han, and the old man of the Zhang family sold a lot of military information to his former boss Nei Shi Teng for his own wealth, but after the destruction of Han, the old man of the Zhang family also got a knighthood, and rewarded a lot of wealth and land in Chen County, and since then Zhang has become the richest man in Yangcheng, Chen County.
Because the origin of this title is a bit disgraceful, the Zhang family avoids it themselves, and outsiders don't dare to take the initiative to talk about it, so Chen Sheng, a person from another world, knows even less about the situation of the Zhang family. Regarding Zhang Liang's deeds, Chen Sheng didn't know much about it.
Seeing Chen Sheng ask about Zhang Liang, Zhou Wen's face suddenly came to his senses, pulled Chen Sheng to sit down, scooped up a spoonful of herbal tea and drank it again, before he sighed and said, "This Zhang Liang Zhang Gongzi ......"
It turned out that Zhang Liang was said to be Master Zhang's nephew, and the Zhang family's business was basically taken care of by him. In previous years, Zhang Liang would sell the harvested rice and wheat to the Hu people in the grassland, exchange them for cattle, sheep and horse skins from the Hu people, and sell these livestock materials to the major warring states at a high price, exchange them for salt and iron weapons from various countries, and then sell them to the grassland, earning tens of thousands of gold every year. However, with the annexation of the major warring states by the Qin State, the Zhang family's business is now a little unsustainable, and only some trade with the imperial military has made it much worse than before.
However, Zhang Liang's ability is not low, and his business development has changed from simply trafficking materials to other operations, opening inns and green buildings in prosperous places of the empire, and making money every day is not a problem. However, although the profits from the sale of goods here have been declining, Zhang Liang still insists on continuing to maintain it, so several sons of Zhang's mansion also have a lot of complaints about this, only Master Zhang still supports Zhang Liang.
After listening to Zhou Wen's introduction, Chen Sheng nodded slightly, knowing the reason why Zhang Liang insisted on selling goods for transportation. Zhang Liang was a staunch anti-Empire diehard, and his actions were necessarily based on anti-Qin. With the presence of such a caravan, he can quietly accumulate a large amount of supplies and prepare for the restoration at any time.
Of course, Chen Sheng could only keep such a conjecture in his heart and couldn't tell Zhou Wen, but Chen Sheng became interested in Zhang Liang. Also want to know how this Zhang Liang works. Chen Sheng knows very well that if he wants to change his fate, he must completely change the direction of the fate of the people related to his fate.
He suddenly wanted to try and change, starting with Zhang Liang and Wu Guang he knew.
……
In the evening, Chen Sheng told Wei Yu about the fact that he might have to go out of the country recently. Chen Sheng didn't expect that Wei Yi was not only not displeased, but was very supportive. Reading 10,000 books, it is better to walk thousands of miles, Wei Yu nodded and said. However, he told him that even if he was away from home, he couldn't relax in his studies.
After chatting about miscellaneous matters, Wei Yi began to inspect Chen Sheng's studies again. Chen Sheng got up every morning, and he had to practice his qi with Wei Yi, he didn't know the words in the classics, Wei Yi could only teach him sentence by sentence, and he had to demonstrate on the side. Fortunately, Chen Sheng's talent is good, and after Wei Yi demonstrated it a few times, he was able to master the skills and cultivate freely.
In the evening, Wei Yu taught him to recite the art of war, and listed many examples of war since the Spring and Autumn Period, explaining in detail the meaning of the art of war.
The art of war described by Wei Yu is not like "The Art of War", which only emphasizes the quality of generals, the drills of soldiers, and the skills in war. It is more about the war in terms of the political and economic aspects of the country. He pointed out sharply that the war was fought with comprehensive national strength, not simply a struggle for victory or defeat.
Wei Yi's military thinking made Chen Sheng awe-inspired. Because in his time, most people may not be able to understand what the term comprehensive national strength means.
In addition to explaining his own art of war, Wei Yu also said one or two sentences from time to time about "Sun Tzu" or "Wu Zi", the art of war and the great sage of war. These writings were rarely circulated in this era, and even if they were found by someone, they were treasured as treasures. However, Chen Sheng echoed one or two words from his mouth from time to time, such as "the soldiers are noble and fast, the wind forest and the volcano" made it difficult for Wei Yi to calm down. How did Wei Yu know that in Chen Sheng's time, these ideas had been indiscriminate, even if they were six or seven years old, they could almost burst out of their mouths a few words like this, and the books that interpreted this kind of thinking for various industries were even more proliferated. I thought that my student was a military genius, and he had no teacher.
