In the study, Lin Feng and Huan Su sat down.
The two wanted to do it face to face.
Huan Suzhi looked serious and said: "Mr. Lin's background, circumstances, and talents have made me admire him for a long time. If I had endured Mr. Lin's situation, I might not be able to achieve this step of Mr. Lin. Falling into a desperate predicament, Even if one's martial arts skills have been abolished, it is not easy to remain determined and rise again."
Lin Feng said with a smile: "The sages once said that when heaven is about to entrust a great responsibility to this person, he must first strain his mind, strain his muscles and bones, starve his skin, deplete his body, and mess up his actions. If I give up, everything will be ruined. Everyone rests. As long as you think about it, there is always a glimmer of hope. Of course, it is only by chance that you can recover."
Huan Suzhi's eyes lit up and he said with approval: "It's hard for one's mind, strain one's muscles and bones, starve one's body and skin, and deplete one's body. This sentence is very good. In the past, my grandfather once said that he was too tyrannical and too shrewd in his life. It has exhausted the heritage of the Huan family. I don’t know how many generations will pass before there will be another person like a grandfather. Because of the existence of the grandfather, the descendants cannot sharpen their spirits and appreciate the hardships."
Lin Feng smiled and said: "In my opinion, Brother Huan will have this opportunity to surpass your grandfather's achievements."
Huan Suzhi shook his head and said: "Is it possible that Mr. Lin doesn't know that everyone in Jinling keeps away from me? My title of Fengchu is just because Xie Chong is grateful to his grandfather for his support, so saying that I have the qualifications of Fengchu is just flattery." That’s all, not worth mentioning.”
Lin Feng said: "The Huan family has this strength. Brother Huan also has this confidence and background."
Words, firmness.
It's even more clear and beyond doubt.
Lin Feng learned a lot about Huan Suzhi's situation. Not only the information Ying Wu found out, but also the information he learned while chatting with Gu Xi, Xie Xuan and others.
This person is not simple.
After Huan Yu died of illness, the Huan family indulged in pleasure and their family fortune began to decline. Although the Huan family is still wealthy, there is no shortage of money, food and clothing. But for the top big families, the loss of power in the officialdom is a decline.
Huan Suzhi, however, stood on Huqiu Mountain amidst the chaos of the Huan family. No matter how the outside world conquered, he had his own beliefs and perseverance.
This is Huan Suzhi's ability.
If it were an ordinary person, he would have long been indulged in pleasure, or he would directly become an official.
In fact, the Huan family seems to be in decline, but it is difficult to say how big a blow the Huan family has suffered, because what the Huan family has lost is only its influence in the officialdom, and the foundation of the Huan family's foothold is still there.
Family inheritance is not only the inheritance of rights, but also the inheritance of knowledge.
This is fundamental.
The knowledge here is not about that.
It is impossible for a person like this to be a scholar who studies the classics and writes poems with great talent. It is impossible to think that a person like him can become a master and become a high-ranking official in charge of a country.
The Huan family's family knowledge includes how to gain a foothold in the officialdom and how to handle government affairs, as well as an analysis and explanation of the entire world. These sophisticated means of dealing with people are the foundation of the Huan family.
As long as these things are there, even if the Huan family is in decline, the Huan family will naturally rise again if there are talents in the future.
This is also the foundation of the family.
Huan Suzhi smiled softly and asked, "Why did Mr. Lin come here today?"
Lin Feng got straight to the point and said: "I came to Huqiu Mountain to invite Brother Huan to join the officialdom in Da Qin."
"Hahaha……"
Huan Suzhi suddenly laughed loudly.
Laughter, full of wantonness.
In this way, Huan Suzhi changed his previous attitude. He was not as calm as he was eating meat and drinking just now, nor was he incompatible with his quietness. He was more tough and aggressive.
His posture is even more soaring.
Huan Suzhi's eyes were brighter than ever before. After he stopped laughing, he stared at Lin Feng and said loudly: "Mr. Lin, my Huan family is in the Jin Kingdom. Although it has declined. But the influence of the Huan family is still there. My grandfather Huan Yu's connections There's some left."
"The imperial court of Jin State also made several conquests, but I rejected them all. Compared with Da Qin, Jin State is much better. I not only have roots in Jin State, but also have connections. If I want to serve as an official, I will not go to Jin State. The country, but the Qin Dynasty, are you crazy?"
Huan Suzhi shook his head and said: "Sacrificing the near for the distant is not what a wise man does."
Lin Feng's expression was calm as never before, without any panic. Recruiting Huan Suzhi was not an easy task.
This is a tug of war between the two sides.
Confront each other.
Lin Feng smiled and said: "Brother Huan, such words should not come out of your mouth. Although I know that this is your test question, such a question seems a bit too simple."
Huan Su said: "I would like to hear the details."
Lin Feng is a wise man.
He is also a wise man.
Between the two parties, although they could exchange cups while eating meat and drinking wine before. But now, when it comes to business matters, he will not give in at all.
What should be done? So be it?
He wanted to see what kind of person Lin Feng was and what shocking words he would say?
Lin Feng explained: "The reason is very simple. The Jin State does not have the space for you to display your talents. The space I mentioned is not that Brother Huan cannot become an official. On the contrary, it is very simple for you to become an official in the Jin State."
"As you mentioned, the Jin State has conquered many times and asked you to serve as an official."
"But the Jin State itself has many problems. For example, the aristocratic families are intertwined and control too much power; for example, the Jin State is located in a corner and has no aspirations for the Northern Expedition; for example, the Jin State is rich and peaceful, but has no will to fight."
"Even if Brother Huan served as an official in Jin State, he would have followed the old path of Duke Huan Yu at most. Even Duke Huan Yu was a genius and made Jin prosperous and prosperous with his own efforts. Even when Duke Huan Yu was there, the Xia State I don’t dare to underestimate Jin either.”
"The reputation that Duke Huan Yu earned was not only due to his outstanding abilities, but also his brilliant methods."
"Almost, out of reach."
"So even if Brother Huan is extremely talented, in the Jin Kingdom, you are at most the second Duke Huan Yu."
"Such a meritorious service is a lifelong goal for ordinary people. But Brother Huan, you come from a famous family, have an outstanding family background, and are talented and learned. Is it just limited to this? If you want to follow the old path of Huan Yu Gong again, Don’t you want to make greater achievements?”
Huan Suzhi listened carefully, and his mind became even more agile. After listening to Lin Feng's words, he knew that Lin Feng's words made sense.
He also has big ambitions.
He also has big ambitions.
That's why he has never been an official.
Huan Suzhi did not reveal what he was thinking, but retorted: "Mr. Lin's words can be called morning bells and evening drums, which are alarming. But I have a problem, which is what I just mentioned. The strength of Jin State far exceeds that of Qin. I Why bother to go to Da Qin instead of going far away? Da Qin cannot give me greater merit."
"Wrong, very wrong."
Lin Feng shook his head and said seriously: "This involves the second issue I want to elaborate on. First, the Jin State cannot accommodate Brother Huan's ambition. Second, the Jin State cannot give you a platform, and Da Qin It allows you to express your ambitions and gives you a big platform to display your talents.”
"In terms of vast territory, Da Qin cannot compare with Jin. After all, in the south of Jin, there are places such as Qiongzhou, which are vast. In terms of wealth, Da Qin is far beyond comparison and is quite poor. Jin is prosperous in commerce and its people live a comfortable life, but Da Qin has a poor environment. It’s hard, business is poor, and taxes are low.”
"In fact, it is quite difficult for Da Qin to maintain an army. In terms of population, Jin still has more people. Da Qin is located in a remote place and has a smaller population."
"These many factors mean that Jin is stronger and Qin is absolutely weak."
"However, Da Qin does not have so many constraints. Although Da Qin has old nobles and some big families, compared to the aristocratic families in Jin State, Da Qin's aristocratic families are far behind. Da Qin's imperial power can easily suppress big families, and there are no aristocratic families in Da Qin constraints."
"Everyone in Da Qin is martial. Although the population is smaller, and even the food and clothing of the people are worse, the people dare to fight. They know that their porridge and rice must be taken back through force. The people of Da Qin are not afraid of fighting to the death, so Da Qin It is called the Qin of tigers and wolves.”
"This is Great Qin's good war."
"Exactly like this, Da Qin forced its way into the barren land of the northwest, carved out a piece of the sky, and established a firm foothold in the northwest."
"Emperor Ying Jiuxiao of the Great Qin Dynasty worked hard to govern. Moreover, the crown prince of the Great Qin Dynasty Ying Yuqian also had a kind and honest temperament. The civil servants of the Great Qin Dynasty were not greedy for money and the generals were not afraid of death. They were united. All the people of the Great Qin Dynasty had the ambition to go eastward."
"This is the difference between the monarchs and ministers of Great Qin."
"Looking back at the kings and ministers of the Jin State, although the emperor Sima Chong was diligent and tried his best to govern. However, Sima Chong's main energy and thoughts were on the struggle between imperial power and ministerial power. He wanted to regain the power controlled by the aristocratic family. The division between the emperor and his ministers was not the same as the monarch and his ministers. .”
"So under this premise, although Jin has many advantages, it actually has too many constraints."
Lin Feng was talking eloquently, and his eyes were shining brightly.
Da Qin has too many disadvantages.
However, everyone in the Qin Dynasty was determined to go eastward.
This is fundamental.
Lin Feng said seriously: "Brother Huan went to Da Qin so that you could have a bigger platform that would allow you to show your talents. Perhaps Da Qin's platform is far inferior to that of Jin for the time being, but Da Qin's potential is unlimited. He can continue to improve and has unlimited room for growth. I think this platform is more suitable for Brother Huan."
Huan Suzhi's eyes rolled, somewhat surprised by Lin Feng's analysis.
But it felt like it was expected.
Lin Feng is a wise man.
Lin Feng's analysis was not bad. Jin did have many problems.
Huan Suzhi thought for a while and then said again: "Mr. Lin's analysis makes sense. However, I still have a question."
Lin Feng said: "What's the problem?"
Huan Suzhi said sternly: "Perhaps Great Qin has certain potential, but it is not easy for Great Qin to go east. Although Xia Kingdom is decadent, Xia Kingdom is the suzerain country after all, and all the talents in the world are in Xia Kingdom, not to mention Xia Kingdom's soldiers The front is not weak either."
Lin Feng's expression changed slightly, and his eyes gradually became scorching, and he said loudly: "It is indeed not easy for the Qin Dynasty to go eastward. But the Qin Dynasty's march eastward is an immortal feat. Once the Qin Dynasty goes eastward and defeats the Xia Kingdom, and then weakens the Yan Kingdom, If it further begins to gradually encroach on other countries, the general trend of the world will change."
"Great Qin's goal is to go eastward."
"But when I arrived in the Qin Dynasty, my goal was to unite the Qin Dynasty and unite the world."
"Brother Huan, this is what you and I should do. If people of our generation repeat the ambitions and footsteps of our predecessors, then all we have learned will be in vain. The world has been divided for hundreds of years, and we should Unified.”
"This is an immortal feat."
"Brother Huan doesn't have this opportunity in any country. Even the Xia Kingdom doesn't have the courage. But Da Qin has always had the dream of going east and the ambition to swallow up the world. Although Da Qin is poor, it dares to do it. Da Qin, Dare to think more.”
Lin Feng's voice was passionate and he said loudly: "Only Da Qin can allow you to show your talents and establish immortal achievements."
hiss! !
After hearing this, Huan Suzhi couldn't help but gasped in shock.
The world is unified!
This is something that countless people dare not think about.
Even Huan Suzhi didn't have such courage. He just wanted a better platform to display what he had learned. It even caused the country it served to replace Xia's suzerain status.
Unexpectedly, Lin Feng was stronger.
Not only does it want to replace Xia's suzerain status, but it also wants to annex other countries.
Huan Suzhi looked at Lin Feng with a touch of shock and admiration on his face, because Lin Feng's ambition was indeed admirable.
