Chapter 533: Whimsical
"Interesting, interesting." Lang Zeqing learned Zhuo Shan's words. Lang Zeqing is a prince of the country and has a prominent family, he didn't pick it yet, but this old man who sold haggis provoked himself first.
Zhuo Shan said: "Interesting is interesting, but old decay has to tell the truth. Old decay is not everything, guest officer, you see, this haggis soup is not good at decay."
Lang Zeqing nodded and said, "The East Market is noisy and noisy, I want to ask the old gentleman to change to a clean place, and then talk about it?"
Zhuo Shan muttered, "It's not ......."
Lang Zeqing looked at the shop with great interest, looking downcast. This old man has no home, and he doesn't seem to have much money, so what is he still picking?
Lang Zeqing said, "I heard that the old man is really hidden in the city."
There is a hint of irony in this sentence.
Zhuo Shan shook his head and said, "The old man wants to hide in the mountains and forests, but the guest officer should know that the market is easier to live, and the old man has no physical strength at this age, and he is afraid that it will be very difficult to live in the mountains and forests."
"That's true." Lang Zeqing nodded, "Since the old gentleman is real, he should know a lighter way to live than the market. Why not?"
Zhuo Shan said simply: "Let's let the old decay take a hexagram first."
Lang Zeqing listened, which one is this singing, and what does it mean? He didn't really understand it for a while, so he asked, "How do you divination?"
Zhuo Shan smiled: "Anything can be divined, the old man likes it the most, burn the turtle shell."
In the hustle and bustle of the city, Zhuo Shan used charcoal to burn the turtle for divination. Lang Zeqing looked at it for a long time, and was stunned to understand what this meant, so he asked him. Zhuo Shan said solemnly: "Where did the water flow low? Why does the sun and moon rotate? There is one thing in heaven and earth that is everywhere, like fate. From the sun, moon and stars, the heavens and the earth, to the cracks in the shell and the blessings and misfortunes of people, there is a stake in the underworld."
Lang Zeqing stroked his beard, not understanding at all, so he said, "Mysterious things can't tell the truth or falsehood."
Zhuo Shan said: "Exactly, no one can know the falsehood."
Lang Zeqing was stunned, unable to argue with him, but he had a gut feeling that this old man might not be reliable.
However, after Zhuo Shan's divination, he agreed to Lang Zeqing's invitation.
The words have already been said on this, Lang Zeqing also came in person, since Zhuo Shan agreed, Lang Zeqing was still ready to talk to him.
The two drove out of Dongshi in the same car and came to the drunken gold fan by the Yongan Canal: Drunken Honglou.
This place is also a prosperous place, a group of people entered the building, an old bustard asked Lang Zeqing if he was a good lady, Lang Zeqing waved his hand, said not to find a little girl, asked the old bustard to arrange a boat, get a small table of wine and food.
At this time, Lang Zeqing asked casually, "I heard that there was a military general here a while ago who made a disturbance, and there was a lot of movement?"
The old bustard looked at Lang Zeqing's appearance with a wary look, and said, "No, he was later captured by the officers and soldiers of Chang'an City."
Lang Zeqing asked again, "How did you deal with it?"
The old bustard said, "The old man inquired, and the military general was first imprisoned in Jingzhao Mansion, and then he was taken away by the forbidden army and fined a month's military salary."
The old bustard pondered for a moment and then deliberately advised: "But the general was stabbed in the thigh and shed a lot of blood, because he was arrested, and the stab was also in vain!"
Lang Zeqing looked at the old bustard with a smile and comforted, "Don't worry, I won't make trouble."
The two of them came to the backyard and got on a boat, and the cloth guards wandered around the courtyard corridor, looking around.
There was nothing special about this place, and the boat in the courtyard was like a private room, but it was just a vassal elegance. But after Lang Zeqing paid attention to this place, he found its benefits.
There is no different kind of joy, only the sound of silk and bamboo orchestras in this backyard, which is quiet in the middle of the noise. Moreover, the water is very shallow, and each ship is alone in one place, whether it is in the water or outside, there will be no walls and ears, and as long as the conversation in the cabin is not too loud, absolutely no one can hear it. It's much more casual than a secret discussion in a secret room.
In the narrow and elegant cabin, the two sat opposite each other, Lang Zeqing poured wine and Zhuo Shan drank a glass, and said with a smile: "Sir, can you have Yaxing, call a little lady to accompany you?"
Zhuo Shan looked helpless and said, "
lest I have more than enough heart and not enough strength."
The two looked at each other and laughed so hard that their shoulders shook.
Zhuo Shan said quietly: "It's still good for a young and strong person, like today's saint."
"Oh?" Lang Zeqing looked at him.
Zhuo Shan said, "At the age of less than thirty, what does the saint want most?"
Lang Zeqing was asked, was lured into memories, remembered when he was young, and muttered, "Power, status, wealth? But the saints have it all."
Zhuo Shan shook his head: "It's to prove what you can."
Lang Zeqing listened and thought thoughtfully.
Zhuo Shan said, "Earlier, you and I talked about retreat. Can Lang Gong know the "shortcut to Zhongnan Mountain"? The old decay used to live in seclusion, the body is hidden and the heart is not hidden, there is really a suspicion of selling fame and reputation, and now living in seclusion in the city, it is not the same. Even the old and decrepit, when they are young, want to show their talents, let alone the saints who have the heart of the world?"
After hearing this, Lang Zeqing bowed and said, "Mr. is also heartfelt."
Zhuo Shan said with a smile: "Gong Lang specially invited the old man to come to such a good place, and it would be meaningless to fight again. Why is Lang Gong so embarrassed?"
Lang Zeqing stroked the beard on his chin and muttered for a long time before he said: "The Qin Dynasty ruled the world, and the world was unified and recuperated, that is, the Holy One had the heart to open up the territory and show his prestige, and the ministers of the court and the central government would not approve of it, and the Holy One also had doubts."
Zhuo Shan kept nodding, but did not speak. So the two of them lifted their chopsticks and drank with dishes, and fell silent, and the sound of the little lady invited by others to play and sing came from outside.
"The old man can sit here and drink and eat meat, which is better than many people, and many people still don't have enough to eat." Zhuo Shan suddenly sighed.
Lang Zeqing also sighed.
Zhuo Shan asked, "Why is there a famine in the world?"
Lang Zeqing said: "Natural disasters and man-made disasters are difficult to escape."
Zhuo Shan shook his head and said, "No, natural and man-made disasters are only appearances, such as the flow of water is also an appearance. With natural and man-made disasters, droughts, floods, wars, and chaos, the number of people can be reduced, and only when there are few people in the land can the world be peaceful and prosperous. The cause of the famine is that there are too many people."
Lang Zeqing said, "Huh? The Holy Son of Heaven is in the court, and all of them regard the number of households as the foundation of the country. Sir, this is contrary to common sense."
However, Lang Zeqing suddenly thought of the situation that was very congested in Dongshi, and the crowd was narrow, which was really not very comfortable.
Zhuo Shan said: "The more people, the more taxes are paid, and the stronger the country. But when the people live, and when there are more people, the land is annexed, and the land is less. When the old man heard Yao Shunyu, fierce beasts were infested, the trees were dense, the men were hunting, and the women were gathering. If the land is full of wild beasts and fruits, and the population is scarce, and there are strong bows and crossbows, will there still be famine?"
Lang Zeqing did not refute, one was that he felt that his sophistry was not Zhuo Shan's opponent at all, and second, he had vaguely guessed Zhuo Shan's opinion, which was consistent with the proposition of Lang Zeqing and other martial artists, why did he refute it?
Zhuo Shan continued: "Zhou Tianzi ruled the world for 800 years, and then in the last years of the Qin Dynasty, it was a natural and man-made disaster, the people were hungry and cold and dying, and the domestic disasters were all over the place. When Qin Shi Huang established the country, there were a few people in the country, and after the war at the end of Qin, ten rooms and nine emptiness. Before that, if there is a land of abundance outside, and the people of the famine migrate in search of food, they will not turn against the people if they are not hungry."
Lang Zeqing said, "It seems reasonable, but it's a little far-fetched. At the end of the Qin Dynasty, the Emperor lost the world by force, and he wanted to open up the territory and spend the treasury, and now the treasury is empty."
Zhuo Shan said, "If you don't have money to raise soldiers, why don't you go to the Wa Kingdom to dig silver mines? If you don't have food, why don't you go to Jiaozhi to transport food?"
Lang Zeqing was stunned and said, "The Japanese state has silver?"
Zhuo Shan said: "Of course there is, and gold, the old man heard that the Japanese people from the East China Sea used yellow and white things for trading, and the Japanese state has gold and silver mines. Cochin and Champa have rice that crops five times a year, and the miasma in the south is not short of grain."
Lang Zeqing said: "The mountain is high and the road is far away."
Zhuo Shan said: "Lang Gong's intention is to persuade the Holy Lord's strong soldiers to open up the territory, if the sea is wide and the road is far away, the soldiers are not strong."
Lang Zeqing felt that Zhuo Shan was too far away, but the matter of gold and silver in the Japanese state could really be brought out. There are only a few ships in the Najing Navy, but the establishment of sea ships is the same as that of the Tiger Ben Army, the Yulin Army, etc., which have the status of tens of thousands of elites! If the Holy One wants to form
The division of the sea, what can you do if you are not profitable?
The most important thing is that the mine is dug out and used as money, and the benefits are very direct.
Lang Zeqing looked at Zhuo Shan and said, "If Mr. doesn't give up, he will go to the Guogong Mansion and walk around often, and he will be a guest at the door, so we can meet each other."
Lang Zeqing and Zhuo Shan discussed and deliberated, and wrote a book called "The Theory of Famine". Take out some of Zhuoshan's arguments, such as the lack of land and the number of people, famine and so on, and talk about it in detail.
He also boasted that the Tang Dynasty was an empire, and it wanted to take horses from the grassland, grain from Jiaozhi, and gold and silver from the East China Sea. The word empire is that Lang Zeqing specially took out Wang Rong's previous remarks in Luoyang, and bragged about it for the saint first. At that time, Wang Rong fooled those scholars in Yingchuan County, and planted an imperial tree!
Of course, all these sweet dreams have to maintain the number and power of the warriors, and they have to be given a lot of money and food! This is what Lang Zeqing and other martial artists are saying.
Lang Zeqing's performance was immediately ridiculed by the Chinese officials of the DPRK, and the "famine theory" in the performance chapter was ridiculed as "not reading the scriptures, whimsical."
But what people didn't expect was that this kind of strange talk suddenly reached Wang Rong's heart.
Wang Rong read this book several times, and when he saw it, he was enthusiastic and had an urge to try. For several days, he couldn't calm down.
There is an intuition that he is a very special person in this plane, as if there is a destiny in the dark. The question is, how do you prove that you can do it? This piece made Wang Rong seem to have found a "theoretical basis" as happy.
However, Wang Rong is still calm, the complex and chaotic reality is in front of him, and it is too difficult to implement, at least not in a hurry. After thinking about it, it is still the most important thing to sit on the throne, otherwise you can't live.
