Chapter 648: Immeasurable Merit
"Little brother, you can talk about this victory carefully, by the way, what you thought at the time, and the whole process. I'd like to see how you used 10,000 men to kill the 80,000 armies of the Northern Han and Khitan. At first, I didn't even believe me, who was the big brother, I really didn't expect you to really win, and it was a big win. ”
Zongxin put down his wine glass, and then began to tell the story of the journey. Since entering the Khitan, Zongxin has been making arrangements, including Meng Chang of Shu State, who has installed a confidante of his own, just to disrupt Shu's plan to send troops.
After the whole process was finished, everyone present was dumbfounded, except for Lei Hong and Lei Tianxiao, everyone else saw it with their own eyes, but after listening to Zong Xin's description, they were all suspicious of one thing, what they saw at the beginning was not the truth at all, what Zong Xin said was the truth.
When the war was fought, everyone didn't think about the problem of Shu, and they also didn't know what Liu Chong was thinking at that time. But Zongxin can speak clearly, and people can understand it as soon as they hear it. Zong Xinzui's war is almost a game of numbers, and Zong Xin can clearly guess what the other party's mentality is, plus the ability to call for wind and rain, so Liu Chong was defeated so miserably.
Now they know what it means to see what is not believing, and hearing is not false. The matter between truth and falsehood is too complicated, and I can't imagine that Zong Xin has hidden so many secrets.
These people felt terrible, but Lei Hong and Lei Tianxiao became more and more excited the more they listened. It's just that the reaction of these people around Zongxin feels ...... It seems that Zong Xin is bragging, but this matter has spread all over the world, Zong Xin really did it, he is not bragging.
After Zong Xin finished speaking, he said depressedly: "Demon demon, look at your expression...... It's like you're hearing about it for the first time, haven't you experienced it yourself?"
"Yes, but I thought I knew the whole thing, but now I realize that what I saw was only superficial. The demon sighed and said, "Of course, there is one more thing that surprises me. You are still in contact with Mrs. Hua Rui, are you going to take Hua Rui back to live when are you, a monk of water-based poplar flowers?"
"That's it, you already have three of our wives, and you're still hooking up outside, and the three of us haven't left your side, you still have this kind of ability?" Dugu Xingyue was surprised: "I knew that being a monk was not honest, I didn't expect you to be so dishonest." Isn't Madame Blossom so beautiful that she is so fascinated by you that you are having an affair with you under the noses of your three wives, and we don't even know yet?"
Ning An said aggrievedly: "Xianggong, how many people are there outside you, tell me honestly." Be lenient in your confession and strict in your resistance, otherwise we won't be done with you today. ”
Lei Hong nodded and said: "Tianxin, it's over if you fool around, why do you have to say it? It doesn't matter if you say it, why do you have to say it in front of three such beautiful daughters-in-law? This is your mistake, punish three glasses of wine." ”
"Oh~" Zong Xin took a drink from the wine glass, and then said: "It's all in the past, don't mind." Anyway, it doesn't matter where my heart is, just be around you. ”
"By the way, Tianxin, you just said that the golden thread is entwined with veins, and I have also heard of this kind of medical technique. I didn't expect you to have received this kind of advanced medical treatment to heal your injuries, and it was really a blessing. In this way, you are about to go to the Western Regions, so you left Kaifeng Bianliang and came to Chang'an, you want to go to Fengzhou by the way, right? "Lei Hong is also extremely smart, and he knows what Zongxin is going to do next when he hears it.
Zong Xin nodded and said: "Helpless, although the golden silk vein cured my injury, I didn't know it, and I thought that my skills had improved greatly, but it turned out to be a big step back." Now only the Western Regions can pull out the golden wire, there are always other things in the body that feel really wrong, only to go to the Western Regions for a run, I hope this trip will not disappoint me. By the way, I can also re-walk the Silk Road and bring a little stuff back from there, and then I have this stuff...... You can make a lot of money again. ”
"What's that?"
"Wine. ”
Lei Hong pouted and said, "What is wine? There is wine everywhere, what is there to earn?"
Zong Xin said: "You don't know, the wine we drink now is collectively called rice wine, the alcohol content is not high, and the taste is not pure. But there is a way to completely separate wine from water in the Western Regions, so that almost all we drink is pure wine, the color is clear and transparent, the wine is strong, and the wine is fragrant and mellow, and that kind of wine is called soju, and it must be used to honor our father first. ”
"The father must be waiting for your soju, or the younger son has filial piety, unlike the eldest two, I don't know what to say about them. Lei Hong said depressedly: "Tianxiao, I used to think that you were very lonely when you were not at home, but now I feel very annoyed that you don't go out, so why don't you go out and do something." Is it appropriate to catch a few bandits or kill a few hooligans, but is it appropriate to stay at home all day? In the past, the second child did not stay at home all day, and it was better to take a few servants to the street to molest women. ”
Lei Tianxiao said depressedly: "No way, the third brother killed Liu Chengyou, I have nothing to do now, and it's good to read books at home." As for molesting women on the streets...... I can think about it, as for the rest, tired ......."
Lei Tianxiao has been staying in Chang'an almost all since Liu Chengyou's death, and he, the world's number one arrester, doesn't want to catch thieves, because he can't tell who is a thief and who is a soldier. A person who is a thief now, as long as he has defeated the country, he is a soldier, and a person who is now a soldier, as long as he loses the country, he is a thief.
How can a head catcher who can't distinguish between a soldier and a thief be a head catcher again? Therefore, Lei Tianxiao has been staying in the Lei Wang's Mansion and has no other pursuits. But it's not bad now, life is good, no pressure, no tasks, sleep when you're full, enter martial arts when you're full, talk to your dad when you're fine, and don't even want to go out of the door.
Zong Xin nodded and said: "It's also good, it's good not to invite disasters and not cause trouble at home, anyway, the money in the Thunder King's Mansion is enough for our family to squander for several lifetimes, and soon the Thunder King's Mansion will make more money." By the way, Father, should you consider cutting some military power? It's better to let these soldiers do something than to stay in the Thunder King's Mansion, and it shouldn't take too many troops to maintain law and order here. ”
Lei Hong said: "I'm your father, in order to make Guo Wei's life better, you have to cut even your father's interests, it's not appropriate." ”
"This is also for your benefit, it doesn't matter how much military power there is now, the Great Zhou has been settled, and Guo Wei's country cannot be shaken. So you don't have to stare at Zhao Valve, Zhao Valve will never succeed. Zong Xin said: "This can save a little more money, and after cutting the troops, you can also let these soldiers do some serious things, and staying in the barracks is just a waste of productivity." ”
Lei Hong said depressedly: "I sent 20,000 soldiers to guard Yandao, and now Chang'an still has 120,000 troops, how much do you say." ”
"Cut in half. ”
After Lei Hong heard half of the two words, his whole body was uncomfortable. However, this is his son's request, and since his son said that Guo Wei's country cannot be shaken, there is no need for so many troops, which is indeed a bit of a waste of money. There's nothing wrong with keeping a little extra money.
Lei Hong gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, my son said that if he cuts soldiers, he will cut soldiers." Anyway, the strength of my Lei Wangfu is strong enough, and it doesn't matter if I cut it a little, and no one dares to mess with me here in the name of Lei Hong alone. ”
"Father, this is really a great merit~ The child toasts you. Zong Xin stood up and respectfully gave Lei Hong a glass of wine, and Lei Hong also happily picked up the glass.
In fact, Zongxin originally thought that Lei Hong would not agree, but he really didn't expect Lei Hong to agree to his request to cut troops, although he was not his own father, but Lei Hong really regarded himself as his own son, and he loved himself far more than other children, just a few words, he was willing to cut 60,000 soldiers, 60,000 is a large number, and he can dominate the world.
Lei Hong has no pursuit of the world, he doesn't want to be an emperor, as long as he keeps his wealth and status. In fact, Lei Hong has always had an army of 100,000 and stood opposite Zhao Valve. Before that, Lei Hong used illegal means to make money to ensure his income, until after the completion of Salt Island, Lei Hong did not need to use this means to make money to raise soldiers, and the income of Salt Island was completely enough for him to raise more troops, so the world was much more peaceful.
Now Lei Hong has reduced his troops by 60,000 troops, which means that 60,000 people will be unemployed, and at the same time, these 60,000 people will also be idle, they must find a way to work to support themselves, and if 60,000 people work in Chang'an, they can promote social development. People are the most basic productive forces of society, and they are also the consumption power. These 60,000 people are redundant, and it is not a good thing for them to only consume and not produce.
Lei Hong said: "Tianyong, since your father promised you one thing, should you also promise one thing for your father, so it's fair." Sixty thousand troops is not a small number, if you think about it, Song Valve only has one or two thousand troops now, and you let me cut so many troops at one time, I should always make a little too much request, right? ”
"Yes, if my father tells me anything, I will never shake my head as long as I do it. ”
Lei Hong said: "I want to hold my grandson, and you have a lot of wives, so let's give birth to a grandson for me." I promise that you will go out to surf casually, I will watch my grandson at home, and I will definitely raise him for nothing, and I will definitely not cause you trouble. ”
Zong Xin pouted and said, "Father, this kind of thing is not in a hurry. I would also like a son, but ...... It's strange that you can't get pregnant. I guess I have some problems, after all, there are three women here, and all three women can't have problems, I think the problem should be me. ”
"That's right...... I'm wondering, are you misplaced?"
"I'm not so sloppy, I promise to work hard and do it in the right way, but I just can't get pregnant...... Anyway, this time I'm going to treat the golden silk veins, and by the way, I'm going to find a doctor in the Western Regions to see if there is really something wrong with my body. Zong Xin also felt strange, the demon and Dugu Xingyue had been following him for several years, and their stomachs didn't react at all, and Ning An also had a lot of time with him, and she didn't react either.
Originally, Zongxin thought it was a problem with the demon or Dugu Xingyue, but now it seems that he may have a problem. But Zong Xin is embarrassed to tell others about this kind of thing, and Zong Xin also has some guesses, so he is not in a hurry about it, maybe this is fate.
