The two sang and harmonized, which moved Gong Shuwu.
After seeing them finish speaking, Zhai Le said, "If you ask me, Brother Shen, you might as well find a way to leave the northwest and go to the southeast."
Shen Tang asked: "Going to the southeast? There is no war in the southeast?"
I thought Zhai Le would say something like "the situation in the southeastern countries is stable", but unexpectedly he opened his mouth and said: "Fight, why not fight? Are there any vassal states that are not at war now? But there is one thing about the southeast that is better than the northwest. There won’t be droughts there every now and then.”
Qishan didn't even bother to raise his eyelids after hearing this. He laughed: "It is true that the southeastern countries have a lot of rain, and it is true that droughts will not occur, but floods will occur. Some floods are natural disasters that cannot be resisted by human power, while some floods are man-made. The princely states in the upper reaches of the river control the water veins and cut off the river before the rainy season, causing drought in the lower reaches. Once the rainy season comes, they release water to ensure stability upstream..."
There are more tricks that take advantage of geographical advantages.
As far as he knew, there was a vassal country whose secret to getting rich was "selling water." If the vassal states in the lower reaches of the river disobey and do not pay the annual coins, their water sources will be cut off. If they do not cooperate, they will release floods to flood the small vassal state, and rely on collecting "protection fees" to enrich the national treasury.
Because he really went too far and made people angry, the princes in the lower reaches of the tributary united to attack him and destroyed him.
Qi Shan would rather squat in the northwest than run to the southeast.
the most important is--
He is a landlubber and hates water!
Zhai Le pursed his lips, seeming frustrated that he had not sold Amway. But after a second thought, I can understand that a golden nest and a silver nest are not as good as one's own doghouse. He was born in the southeastern border. He has good water skills and is a good hunter and fisher. He has never suffered much.
No matter how chaotic the motherland is, it is better than elsewhere.
Mr. Qi Shan must have the same idea.
Zhai Le: "Even if they refuse to go south, the Geng Kingdom is not safe. Either move to a vassal state with a relatively stable political situation, or simply live away from the world and stay away from the war... My brother said that the Geng Kingdom will not last more than five years."
Qishan's brows moved: "Your brother?"
"Cousins from the same clan, we are similar in age. We have played together since we were young, and we are better than brothers. He is very powerful. He plans to become an official after this trip. He also said that Zheng Qiao, the leader of the Geng Kingdom, is a narrow-minded person with a low temperament. He is a disciple with high eyesight but low hand but big ambition. There are jackals and tigers and leopards in the northern desert. If he dares to seek the skin of a tiger, his body will be destroyed. I think he is right..."
Qishan used his peripheral vision to pay attention to Gong Shuwu's expression. Seeing that he seemed to be distracted but was actually focused on the conversation, he said, "Brother, you can see Zheng Qiao quite accurately. This man has little virtue, no honor, no intelligence. A small plan leads to a big one, and coupled with a narrow-minded nature, the evil will inevitably be repaid, and there is indeed no sign of a clear master."
"From your perspective, sir, what is a Ming Lord?" Gong Shuwu, who had always been silent, suddenly said, "A king who has made outstanding achievements and opened up new territories?"
Qi Shan did not answer but turned around and asked Shen Tang.
"What do you think Mr. Shen Xiaolang?"
Shen Tang was suddenly called: "Ask me???"
Qishan: "Yes, I'll ask you."
She replied casually: "You have a mouth to live. I think it is wise to make the people well-fed, clothed and live a stable life. A well-stocked warehouse shows etiquette, and having enough food and clothing shows honor and disgrace. The people live a prosperous life, have surplus food in their hands, and have stable hearts. Naturally, the country will also be stable, and the political situation will become clear. Lord Ming, isn’t that the purpose of working so hard to achieve this effect? "
Gong Shuwu: "..."
Qishan: "..."
Shen Tang felt uncomfortable being stared at by the two.
Then he said bravely: "Whether it is the expansion of territory or outstanding achievements, martial arts is very beautiful to the monarch, but how much benefit will the people receive? Not only is there no benefit, in order to raise military expenses, the court will also increase taxes. In the end, it will all Put pressure on them. If you collect more taxes for military expenses, they will be hungry, and they may even starve to death. Look, how many of the remaining people miss their homeland after the Xin Kingdom was destroyed? Don't they just pat their butts and continue to live their own lives? "
Even if the Geng Kingdom is destroyed in the future, the people will still be like this.
Maybe they would even raise it and take a sip to celebrate that the tyrant above their heads had finally burped and they could take a breather.
Uncle Gong Duan didn't speak, and Zhai Le didn't speak either.
Qishan shook his head: "It doesn't apply to this world today."
For example, Shen Xiaolangjun's "The Way of the Princes".
Other princes use the "Way of the Princes" to recruit talents, recruit talents, recruit troops and horses, but Shen Xiaolangjun focuses on "farming". No matter how good he is at farming and how many granaries he has, what's the use if he can't keep them? It is not attractive to those talents and does not benefit them.
Food is something that can be snatched with force.
"Yuan Liang is right, as the saying goes - if you don't plant guns in the field, your home will become a granary; if you don't plant guns in the fields, everything will become a granary. How can the food grown in your own field be as fragrant as that of other people's granaries?" Shen Tang considered. Express understanding of the current situation.
but--
Why do adults make choices?
Naturally, both guns and fields are needed.
Never mind me, the King of Heaven, let’s feed my stomach before talking about it.
Shen Tang said abruptly: "If I want to find a job with any prince in the future, I will definitely not consider those with arrears of salary and low remuneration..."
I go out to work just to have enough to eat.
Don’t talk about ideals, let’s talk about belly.
If a boss can pay wages on time, give raises, don't give chicken soup indiscriminately, doesn't pay lip service but pays as much as he wants, and allows employees to support their families, then he is considered a boss. Good boss.
Not to mention 996, 007 can do it.
"Do you want to serve?" Qishan's eyes darkened a little.
Shen Tang: "..."
Inexplicably, I feel that this question should be answered carefully.
She shook her head and said: "That's what I said. Why do you work for others when you have nothing to do? It's not like I don't have enough to eat..."
In this era, if you do your job well, you may not get a promotion or salary increase, but if you do it poorly, you will definitely bring down the whole family, and your efforts will be out of proportion to your benefits. Therefore, starting a business with others is not a good choice. It is better to go solo.
She can also use her word spirit to conjure food.
Maybe she couldn't help others, but she wouldn't starve to death.
Qishan's expression softened slightly.
"That's fine."
Shen Tang looked at him in confusion: "...What's the matter?"
"It's good to try to eat enough."
Feeding not just one person, but tens of thousands of people.
Shen Tang: "???"
Although she didn't quite understand what was brewing in Qi Yuanliang's belly, her intuition told her that it wasn't a bad thing, so she ignored it.
Gong Shuwu on the side looked at Qi Shan and then at Shen Tang. He vaguely noticed something, but felt that his guess was absurd, so he pressed it down for now.
The bonfire will be extinguished and the night will end before dawn.
With their cultivation almost complete, the group was ready to enter the city.
Shen Tang, Zhai Le and Qi Shan were okay, but Gong Shuwu was really eye-catching. At dawn, when Gong Shuwu stood up, Shen Tang noticed that this strong man was nearly two meters tall, with a tall and muscular body, wide shoulders and narrow waist, and strong muscles in his limbs. One person was as good as two of her!
It is eye-catching and can be recognized immediately if thrown into the crowd.
