"The people of the Northern Desert are not insurmountable, right?"
"You do not understand."
Prince Wei sighed and said: "In the early years, my men followed Taizu through the border areas. Taizu was unparalleled in bravery. However, when Xixiao destroyed the country, those people still retreated to Mobei. In the past hundred or so years, The people of the Northern Desert have always been a major concern, but have you ever thought about why Taizu didn’t drive them all away?”
The old man thought for a while and said, "Not worth it?"
Prince Wei said: "Of course there is this part of the reason, but the more important reason is actually that our army cannot march to the high mountains. Once it passes, they will have headaches and lethargy. In severe cases, they may even be unable to move. In addition, the weather is extremely cold. , the combat power will also be reduced sharply, and the cost will be even greater."
"Um?"
The old man was stunned for a moment and said, "Is there such a thing?"
Prince Wei nodded and said: "The terrain in the Northern Desert is steep. There are mountains and obstacles everywhere, which are difficult for the army to overcome. People living here in the Northern Desert have long been used to it. This is God helping them, but such things also happen. The price is the barren land and scarce food.”
The old man raised his eyes, looked at Prince Wei and said, "Can you understand why the court and the other princes don't understand?"
Prince Wei said: "It's nothing more than different opinions. I don't think it's worth it, but if it falls into the hands of King Jin, then it's worth it. All he wants is population. After arresting people, Bianyu will not do anything to him." It’s a matter of fact, and he is probably the only one who is confident that he can capture these people.”
"Who will guard the territory over there?"
"Who else could it be?" Prince Wei smiled and said, "The imperial court."
The imperial court will always be the one to take over.
We will definitely never have to fight against foreign enemies together like this in the future.
It seems that all this is the failure of the court.
But there is nothing that can be done about it, because it is the court, not the prince. He has to do some things. The King of Jin can be reviled by the people in the world, but the court cannot, because this will make him lose his only advantage. , that is the orthodoxy recognized by the world.
"Let's play." Prince Wei said, "It will collapse one day."
Now the situation is getting more and more chaotic.
………
Go to Beijing.
In these troubled times, Shangjing City has lost some of its prosperity.
But compared to this, the tranquility of Shangjing is not comparable to any other place.
Because in the eyes of the world, no matter how chaotic the world is, it will never come to the capital.
At the emperor's feet, the Forbidden Army troops guarded this place impregnably, making it difficult for foreign enemies to attack this place.
Both the common people and the literati are now talking about this general trend in the world, and there are always such voices in teahouses and inns.
Everyone has their own opinions, but most of the voices are denounced for the incompetence of the court. With the achievements of the previous emperor, the prince who is now in charge of the court is undoubtedly incomparable. In addition, the previous emperor in the Northern Desert As things happened, there were more and more discussions about this in the capital city.
Many people feel that today's court is not only inferior to that of the late emperor, but even those rebellious princes.
“Nowadays, this momentum is really getting more and more incomprehensible.”
"Yes, King Kang died suddenly. I heard that in the end King Kang's territory belonged to King Yan. I thought it belonged to King Jin..."
"Ah? King Yan?"
"How is this possible? King Yan's territory is far away from that territory. How can it be possible that the two sides are so separated? Is King Yan confused?"
"Who knows."
"I thought it was Prince Jin."
"Well, no matter who it is, it's not necessarily a good thing. The past two years have been relatively peaceful. I always feel that chaos is about to break out."
"I think so too..."
The situation now is indeed a bit serious.
Many people were a little worried, but the court did not make any move, which made people think deeply.
It's unlikely that the rebellion will be successful.
Yu Hongjin, who came to the street to buy wine, couldn't help but think deeply when he heard all this mess.
After thinking about it for a long time, I couldn't figure out why.
I simply bought some wine and went back.
The Tang family has a large house in Shangjing City, which is not ordinary big. When Yu Hongjin came here, she spent a lot of time shopping around.
After entering the door, I saw a young man coming.
"Well, you Yu Hongjin, you went to buy wine again! Auntie has to spank you again!"
Yu Hongjin quickly put away the wine, looked at Tang Shijing in front of her and said, "You are the only one who talks a lot!"
Tang Shijing smiled, then stepped forward and snatched the wine bottle from Yu Hongjin's hand.
"Hey, give me back!"
"It's mine."
Tang Shijing smiled and touched the fish's red brocade head.
Yu Hongjin stamped her feet angrily and said, "I'll tell Sister Yun to go."
Tang Shijing smiled and said, "You can go and sue me. My aunt asked me to keep an eye on you and tell you to drink less."
Yu Hongjin curled her lips and gave Tang Shijing a cold look.
Tang Shijing smiled, then carried the wine gourd and headed outside.
After leaving the house, we walked towards the shopping mall.
When I arrived at the business, I went up to the third floor and turned the corner into a study room.
"Knock knock."
Knocked on the door.
After the people waiting in the room responded, Tang Shijing walked in the door.
"Dad, you're still busy."
But he saw a gray-haired old man sitting in front of the desk, holding a pen in his hand. There were countless account books and documents, including many letters.
Tang Mingjing glanced at him and said, "You have nothing to do, why do you come to my place?"
Tang Shijing picked up the wine in his hand, smiled, and said, "Dad, please drink."
Tang Mingjing took a look and said, "I must have snatched it from Yu Hongjin."
"Daddy knows things like a god."
Tang Mingjing snorted softly and said, "If you don't do some serious business in a day."
Tang Shijing came up and sat down and said, "Why don't you do something serious? Dad, I helped you solve a problem earlier."
Tang Mingjing glanced at him, rubbed his brows and said, "Come on, why are you here this time? You don't have anything good to hold in your stomach."
"Then I won't be vague."
Tang Shijing said, "Dad, please lend me some money."
Tang Mingjing glanced at him and asked, "Why do you want money?"
Tang Shijing said: "The business over there in the border area seems to be pretty good."
Tang Mingjing was stunned for a moment after hearing this.
He closed the account book in front of him and raised his head to look at Tang Shijing.
"You really dare to think about it." Tang Mingjing said in a serious tone: "The chaos in that place is unimaginable. Is it possible that you want to do this loss-making business?"
Tang Shijing said: "Dad, you are joking. Don't you know whether you are losing money or not?"
Tang Mingjing pondered for a moment, during which he glanced at Tang Shijing from time to time.
Seeing his hesitation, Tang Shijing said, "Dad, just let me try it. It won't cost much anyway."
Tang Mingjing shook his head, but was still thinking.
This is no small matter.
