113 - Lie to me first
Jiang Wen hesitated, after all, he still couldn't muster up the courage to do what Yao Yu said, and directly wield the butcher knife.
After all, in this era, the family is the real group of people who stand at the top of the pyramid.
is more noble than the emperor in Luoyang City, who is regarded as a puppet by the major vassal kings.
The gate valve system is finalized, and everyone must serve the noble family. Life after life is passed down.
This is the real one, which fundamentally cuts off the way out for the people and the poor.
The human family was born in the sky, let alone you ordinary people, there is no place for you in the abyss under the sea.
The terrible thing about this system is not that it is so unfair in the distribution of resources with society, but that everyone feels that such a system is as it should be and there is nothing wrong with it.
It is precisely for this reason that Yao Yu had the idea of breaking the monopoly of the family, bringing forth the new, and changing the world to a new sky.
It's a pity that not everyone has Yao Yu's courage.
Even if Yao Yu said it so bluntly, Jiang Wen still didn't dare to agree, and in the end, he asked Yao Yu for a compromise and a softer solution.
That is to knock the family, not to raise the knife in his hand.
Hearing Jiang Wen say this, the expression on Yao Yu's face became very strange.
He could have a hunch that Jiang Wen's approach would not only not make the family honest, but maybe Jiang Wen would also lose his life because of it.
You either don't do it, you want to do it, or you just do it.
You have offended the family, and you have not yet established your authority, what are you not sending to death?
In this case, even if you are the confidant of the king of Runan, you can't do it.
In order to gain the support of the family, do you dare to guarantee that the king of Runan will not throw you out as a substitute for the dead ghost after the matter is a big problem?
Yao Yu wanted to make the stakes clear, but he couldn't hold back when the words came to his lips.
Forget it, the path that Jiang Wen chose by himself, no matter how much he said, it was useless.
Regret is not regret by yourself anyway.
In this way, after talking about the affairs of the family, Jiang Wen was complacent about the method he chose, and the whole person was a lot more cheerful.
Only Yao Yu, when he looked at Jiang Wen, his eyes revealed regret, as if he was looking at a corpse.
"I heard that the benefactor has been shopping for armaments and supplies recently?"
Suddenly, Jiang Wen asked.
Yao Yuleng paused, not understanding what Jiang Wen meant by asking this sentence.
Just as he was wondering, Jiang Wen smiled happily and said, "That's good. Now that thieves are rising everywhere, it would be nice to be able to form an armed force to protect one side. I just don't know where you are now, benefactor."
Because Yao Yu didn't know Jiang Wen's thoughts, he replied casually: "It's okay, it's not easy to collect and make armaments or anything. So far, there is still a lot of armor and weapons missing."
Jiang Wen pursed his lips: "As for the armor, I don't have it here. But I still have a lot of weapons, bows and arrows. Originally, these were intended to be used for His Highness. It's not impossible not to give you a small portion."
Yao Yu snorted and looked sideways at Jiang Wen.
This time, he was even more confused.
No, what's going on, Jiang Wen thought about taking the initiative to benefit himself. No, it's good that he doesn't ask himself for money and food.
Just as he was wondering, Jiang Wen said quietly, "To be honest, your subordinates are very strong in combat. More powerful than His Highness's elite Chinese army. The situation is volatile. If you can, I hope that when you need to, you can bring your men and help His Highness defeat the traitor of the King of the East Sea. This is not just my idea, Your Highness also thinks so."
Yao Yu's brows twisted into a pimple.
He recruited troops to accumulate strength so that he had the ability to protect himself after the chaos in the world, not to bring his own people into the center of the struggle for power.
No, Yao Yu thought about how to refuse.
Before his words could be spoken, Jiang Wen sighed: "Your Highness sent me a letter a few days ago, in which you were mentioned.
It is said that you can fight habitually and lead troops well. I want you to rush to Luoyang City with your subordinates immediately. However, I will help you refuse."
Yao Yu was shocked: "How did His Highness know?"
"It seems that Liu Yuan, the virtuous king of the left of the Huns, recommended you in front of His Royal Highness."
Yao Yu scolded, this barbarian doesn't talk about martial arts.
As soon as the complaint in his heart landed, Yao Yu looked at Jiang Wen in surprise: "No, Jiang Taishou, you said that you helped me refuse?" No, don't you want to recommend me? After all, you and Your Highness..."
Jiang Wen shook his head: "If it was before, then I'll let you go." But since you saved me, I don't think so."
Yao Yu didn't understand.
Jiang Wen sighed and said, "It has been eight years since the death of the first emperor, and eight years of war in the north. Even the imperial court lost contact with the southern states and counties. The whole world has been made a mess. Everyone is chasing power. As a confidant of His Highness, it is only natural for me to solve his problems. But you're not. You are a good ruler for the people with all your heart, and I can't, and I can't, let you get caught up in this whirlpool."
"First, if you lose your life by the vortex, it will be a great loss to the people. Second, I can't let my benefactor die."
Yao Yu was silent for a long time before he said, "Then Jiang Taishou, you just thought that I would lead troops to help His Highness."
"So this is the critical time, if Your Highness is not the opponent of the traitor of the King of the East China Sea, even if I am reluctant, I hope you can rush to the battlefield to help. If His Highness has always had the upper hand. You don't have to do it."
Yao Yu was dumbfounded.
Well, to put it mildly, the king of Runan is still the most important.
Moreover, to put it bluntly, this old man Jiang is no different from other children of families who chase fame and fortune.
The only difference is that he has a little conscience.
Thinking of this, Yao Yu nodded: "If it really comes to use me one day, I will take action."
That's what he said, but how did Jiang Wen know what Yao Yu thought in his heart?
He said it so nicely, just to deceive Jiang Wen.
Let's get all the armaments, bows and arrows, and then talk about it.
Jiang Wen believed Yao Yu and smiled from ear to ear, even after discussing with Yao Yu how many sets of armaments were needed.
In this way, the two discussed for half an hour, and finally decided to give the ring-headed sword and spear, two thousand hard bows, and one hundred thousand arrows.
These armaments can be said to be not cheap, if Yao Yu wants to do it himself, let alone whether 10 million silver is enough, just time can't keep up.
After all, the bow and arrow production process is too long, and a qualified bow will take more than a year.
Now, getting a ready-made product from Jiang Wen saved Yao Yu a lot of effort.
The only thing that made Yao Yu uneasy was that he had taken so much equipment by himself, would the king of Runan find out.
