"As long as wars never stop in this world, it is true that Shanlan City can get quite a lot of money from it. But you might as well think about why Shanlan City is worth sending troops to plunder from several countries during the war. Fortunately, it can be obtained from this continuous war. The blacksmiths and craftsmen in the city rarely leave the city to seek refuge elsewhere."
Jiang Baigui no longer went to talk to Yun Zhong about the old man. Instead, he calmed his eyebrows, took out a candlestick, cleared a space between the tables and cases, placed the candlestick in the center, and then took out a few candlesticks. Neat cups that had not been stained with wine were placed around the candlestick, and the fire lit the candlestick. Then he continued, "I am from Shanlan City. I have no shame to say that Shanlan City is a must-have place for military strategists." If you make Brother Yun Xian laugh by fighting for land, please forgive me a little, and never think of me as a ignorant, proud and complacent person."
"Shanlan City is like a candlestick. Its light can slightly increase the power of some soldiers and horses in war. After all, swords hurt people, and armor protects lives. If one party can hold on to the swords forged in Shanlan City, the rest of the physical strength When the morale and strength of the army are equal, this slight deviation may cause one side to retreat in an instant, and those with sharp and strong swords can win the most difficult battle. This principle, even in the market Ordinary people can see clearly if they think about it for a moment, the details may not be the way to win."
Yun Zhong was also flushed and very drunk. Hearing Jiang Baigui's words, he agreed very much. During the war period of the Great Yuan Dynasty, he could best see some clues. When he gathered his troops to fight, it was enough to say that the skills of the two men were not comparable. warriors up and down
, there are subtle disputes, but any clues must be taken into account, and as long as there are even the slightest details in the soldiers and horses, flaws that are inconspicuous to others, in the event of a war, most of the hundreds of miles of heavy troops will often be defeated in an ant nest, and it will be in vain. Suffer defeat.
And it happened that the person in the main court was facing the scholar who was the best at calculating and planning, not to mention that the latter used every possible means. If he was even half inferior, then half inferior would often turn into a total defeat.
When it comes to kung fu and skill, when it comes to fighting over the smallest details, in war, we have to consider the right time and place, and the importance of people and soldiers. I wish I could organize a battle from big to small, and use astonishing calculations to make the two as equal as possible to make up for the omissions. If there are shortcomings, you should emphasize your superiority and pay attention to the formation of troops and horses, so that you can have a slight chance of winning. At first, the royal court almost clung to an old house, which was open on all sides and could not block any wind, frost, let alone rain and snow. It was precisely because of this that when the war started, they were overwhelmed by the brave and sharp soldiers led by the scholar. They were retreating steadily, almost leaving the entire Yuan Dynasty in the hands of scholars. Fortunately, there were Cen Shixiang and other talented people who were able to delay the troops of Xumeng Mansion during the war. , and by leveraging the complicated and confusing selfish thoughts among the tribes, and leveraging the popular prestige of the previous generations, they were able to sustain their offensive.
"Indeed, what Brother Jiang said is true. The battle for the smallest details can change in an instant. Shanlan City may not be considered important. It is still far away from the Zihao Kingdom of the Yuan Dynasty, and it is not a battle that military strategists must fight for. The earth, with its sharp weapons and good armor, can naturally be compared to a candlestick. Those who are illuminated will benefit, while those who have not inherited its brilliance may be weaker."
Jiang Baigui glanced at Yun Zhong again with raised eyebrows.
, but his smile became more and more unpredictable.
The candlestick is placed in the middle, and the brilliance flows.
"There is such a big event in the world in the front line. Although it has not spread yet, I have some connections. I heard that Yizhang has such a strong army. They are all covered in heavy armor. The skills on the armor are not as good as armor making alone. In his profession, Yizhang is now not weak in Shanlan City's superb skills that have been passed down from ancient times. Although he cannot know whether there is much difference in swordsmanship, but seeing its potential, this candlelight has become weaker and weaker. If one day , several countries in the world no longer need the swords and instruments in Shanlan City, and by then, all the wealth and honor will disappear in an instant."
"Brother Yun Xian, where do you think the brilliance of this candlestick exists?" Jiang Baigui was almost tempted step by step. Not only did he report his sincerity, but he actually sat down with Yun Zhong to discuss the matter on an equal footing. Rather than just being polite, It's much better, not to mention that Yun Zhong also heard a little bit about this matter when he was walking in the earth building, and it is related to the capital of Yizhang, which is the most rare thing. There is still some weight in the news, but it is not a blind test.
"The brilliance of a candle has nothing to do with a candlestick."
After all, he didn't want the old man to lie drunk on the floor of the inn. Yun Zhong stood up and helped him to Chu Xin's desk. The latter seemed to be conscious and raised his head with difficulty. He quickly hugged the package in his arms and raised his head to find that it was Yun Zhong. And it wasn't the sword box in his arms, it was Hanhan who grinned stupidly and continued to fall drunk at his desk.
Taking advantage of this gap, Jiang Baigui poured two full glasses of wine for Yun Zhong and himself, his expression gloomy for a moment.
In fact, walking around the city during these days is not only Yun Zhongzi’s
I was already aware of some of the things that were kept secret in the city. Even the old man who was often confused had told Yunzhong earlier that Shanlan City looked nothing unusual, but among the surrounding mountains, there were many exposed mountains. The rocks taste very sweet, and they are completely different from other places. Especially this time, almost no one in the Xumeng Mansion soldiers in the north of the city is very bossy to the highly respected and skilled blacksmiths in the city. If you show more respect, you can get some clues. It is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice. The reason why Shanlan City became a heavily contested area was not necessarily due to the skill of the craftsmen.
"I would venture to guess that most of the candles that Brother Jiang mentioned are made of iron and stone around Shanlan City, and only a small half are maintained by the craftsmen in the city. But as long as there is a possibility of war in the world, or the army is preparing for war, the skills of the craftsmen must be The rising tide lifts all boats, and the only thing Shanlan City has to rely on is the surrounding iron and stone. After all, it is better to have access to it from time to time than to have to pay generous amounts of money every time."
Ignoring Jiang Baigui's worsening complexion, Yun Zhong took the cup and drank it in one gulp, his face flushed but not at all.
"Brother Yu, I admire you." Jiang Baigui relieved his anger as if he had swallowed a glass of bitter wine, and his face became even more drunk. He looked around the inn and smiled bitterly, "People like me who are willing to do business and practice the way of merchants do not like to rise to the top in my life, and I ask myself that I have nothing to do with it. This kind of ability, after all, even if you have countless gold and silver that can rival the country, it is still not as good as gold and gold, right? Although it is better than ordinary people who live in the open and are anxious for food, clothing and money, they are still far from daring to step into that road. After all, I don’t even have the slightest ability to practice martial arts. I have to live by it. Who would be happy?
Resigned to one place, being an incompetent innkeeper. "
"The three families of Zhang Wang and Li have never cared about where Shanlan City will go in the future. Instead, they rely on their own methods to secretly collude with powerful people from all over the country who come to buy swords and armor. They seek escape routes from outside and keep money inside. As for staying here, The skills of the craftsmen are no longer comparable to those of other countries in the world, or when these three families left Shanlan City, the situation has changed, and the remaining people in the city have to rely on what they have to live. Can they find such a slim way to live and work in peace and contentment in the troubled world? Total disregard.”
"I once sent my servants to investigate among these three families. Although I haven't penetrated into the depth, I already roughly knew that in just one year, the profits swallowed up by these three families were nearly 60 to 70%. However, It is both beneficial and relaxing for people from other places to contact these three companies. They have never done business with the blacksmiths in the city who are very skilled in craftsmanship. In the end, most of the money they originally earned through hard work has been exploited without them knowing it, or even if they have done so. I don’t know, but I can’t do anything.”
"With these three mountains pressing down one after another, breaking bones, squeezing blood, cramping muscles and grinding skin, how can the people in Shanlan City compare to fish and meat? Bai Gui is incompetent."
The cup exploded into pieces. Jiang Baigui was completely unaware that there were several fragments of the cup on the table, which had pierced the back of his hand and made his eyes blood red.
"It is so difficult to get rid of the disease. I deeply think that Brother Jiang has such a great wish, and I really admire him. However, it is as difficult as climbing to the sky to cut off the hands of these three families that control the city of Shanlan. For a time, there is blessing in the world, and there will be a day when a place is prosperous. In the midst of decadence and ups and downs, Brother Jiang wants to be the saint of Shanlan City and protect the city's long-term prosperity?"
The old place of Mocheng and the ruins of an ancient country were also visited by a series of
The endless palace palaces are interlocked and connected in a chain. They have probably been retreated. By that time, their splendor and beauty were hard to find in the world, but now they are all turned into yellow sand.
"I am a wanderer. Maybe the old man committed a heinous crime when he was really young. Fortunately, he has similar interests and likes his temper. What's more, I have been running around for this sword fetus all these days. Although it is to return the favor, but After all, when we are in contact and have friendship, we can't have too many doubts. The principle of treating others with sincerity is the most transparent and easy to understand." Yun Zhong found a cloth handkerchief for Jiang Baigui to suppress the blood on his palm, he was very calm and calm. Pointing at Chu Xin who was sleeping peacefully, "This person is said to be quite timid in temperament. He is not much different from me when I first entered the spiritual path. Looking back today, I feel that I was stupid and naive back then, but I still feel that my original intention is still there." .”
"Let's just go back to what Brother Jiang said just now. The three families of Zhang, Wang and Li are unfair and only pursue their own selfish desires. But it may not be that all three families thought at first for their own benefit. Therefore, even if Brother Jiang expels these three families, it may not be possible later. There will be no more Jiang family, Liu family, and Zhao family. If Brother Jiang takes over such a big responsibility and leads the people in the city by himself, where should he go? I dare to ask Brother Jiang, can you think about it? Since you don’t want to live in the same world, your heart To save a city, the people must know a clear path."
Jiang Baigui couldn't stand being so drunk, so he went back to his room to rest and sober up. Yun Zhong picked up the old man and Chu Xin by their hands and threw them into the room. The troublemaker was not in a hurry to get up the mountain. Instead, he moved a bench in front of the inn and lay down crookedly.
The ability to persuade people must be as high as those in the four realms and five realms.
It's a pity that even I have never found what I want to do.
Even though the sword wind is like a sudden rain, it still smooths over the endless and endless depression.
Taking advantage of the still-yielding skylight, Yun Zhong pulled off the red rope from his wrist, smacked his lips and threw it aside. He took a nap and felt a little guilty.
