Bai Guo chuckled, "Kang Le doesn't say arrogant words, and some things don't need to be heard by others. But today Kang Le just wants to hear some of Mr. Yan's true opinions, and doesn't..."
The tail of his eyes raised slightly, all with wantonness, "The intention is to embarrass Mr. Yan."
Bai Minghong's eyelids twitched.
During this time of his company, I didn't hear any words that were not embarrassing.
"Kangle asks again, how does Mr. Yan view the affairs of his family and country?"
Bai Guo didn't say to put aside Mrs. Yan, put aside the general's mansion, or put aside his identity, because these are all aspects that have become opinions.
Yan Ren became cautious, he must force himself to say something today.
His eyes swept over the people present.
They are all members of the Bai family, so even if they bring trouble to the emperor, as long as he doesn't admit it, it's just a one-sided statement, and others will even think that he has been wronged.
"The Wuhongliang Kingdom of the Chengzhou Kingdom has many iron mines, the Wuhongliang Kingdom has many heavy armored soldiers, and the Wuhongliang Kingdom has sophisticated equipment, but it also does not occupy as much land as the Hongliang Kingdom."
Yan Ren looked serious, "But the Chengzhou Kingdom can make Hongliang Kingdom fearful, so that Hongliang Kingdom does not dare to easily mobilize troops, and there is a vague intention of resisting each other. Does the County Master know why?"
Ging Guo raised his eyes slightly, too lazy to answer.
"Because the Chengzhou Kingdom has the largest population, and because it has the most people, it can plant more, and the more it can raise, the more people it can raise. Therefore, the Chengzhou Kingdom has always had the largest army, and these people and soldiers are the foundation of the country. Let Hongliang The root of the country’s fear.”
Yan Ren said: "There are people for the people, and the people are for the army. Only when there is an army, there is a king, and when there is a king, there is a country. And the people come from home."
These words left Bai Mingshao speechless and made him start to reflect.
"I really envy Mr. Yan." Bai Guo said with a smile, understanding and relief in his eyes.
This sentence made Yan Ren and Bai Mingshao a little confused, and they didn't understand why they said it.
"When Mr. Yan was born, the emperor had been on the throne for several years. Although there was a war in Chengzhou, it did not have much impact. That's why the words Mr. Yan said were so... one-sided but enviable."
These words made Bai Minghong blush again.
Yan Ren was about to be seventeen. He had just turned sixteen, and Bai Guo was only a few months shy of fourteen. But as the youngest, how did she say this?
"The Kingdom of Chengzhou has an army called the Xuan Family Army. Does Mr. Yan know where it came from?"
Although Bai Guo asked, he did not wait for Yan Ren to answer. Instead, he continued: "There are three generalizations in Mr. Yan's words."
"It is true that the Chengzhou Kingdom has the largest population among several countries, but it also has the best land area. The Hongliang Kingdom has a lot of land, but not so much can be planted. On the other hand, the Chengzhou Kingdom has only five pieces of land. There is a high-yield area, so we can plant it in large quantities and raise more people. This is not because Hongliang Kingdom has not enough people, but because their conditions are limited and they cannot plant more."
The Chengzhou Kingdom occupies the best land, has the largest population, the most planting, and the largest army. Although the iron ore is not as good as the Hongliang Kingdom, it is enough for the army. The only thing is that the equipment is not as good as the Hongliang Kingdom.
"And these good lands were conquered by the Xuan family's army. The Xuan family's army did not fight for the sake of the people, but for the sake of the king, and they sacrificed their lives for the country and the people."
The Xuan Family Army was established by the emperor who was the prince at that time. These people were not afraid because the prince dared to go to the battlefield. It was also because of the emperor's character, ability, wisdom... that they chose justice and firmness. believe that their sacrifice must be worth it.
In fact, the same is true. The achievements of the Xuan family army have been recorded in history, and they are the founders of Shengshun's prosperity.
"On the surface, the people that Hongliang is afraid of are the people, but deep down, it is the king. A king who can go to the battlefield for peace and prosperity, who is not afraid of dying in battle, and who is not afraid of not being able to sit on the throne is feared.
Because the king of the Zhou Kingdom led the people to a prosperous and prosperous age, the people were willing to join the army, sacrifice their families, and be stained with blood on the battlefield. This courage made the Hongliang Kingdom fearful. "
Bai Guo raised his eyes and said, "Master Yan is in the army. How could he not understand how important the generals are to the soldiers? How could he not understand how important the king is to the country?"
The emperor of Chengzhou Kingdom was a wise king, so Yan Ren thought that everything in Chengzhou Kingdom was as it should be and as it should be.
That's why Yan Ren wanted to sit in that position in his previous life, because all he saw was the stability of a prosperous age, but he didn't see why the emperor had no time to teach the thirteenth prince in the past few years.
Yan Ren never understood the meaning of being a king from beginning to end.
Yan Ren's face turned red when he was told this.
"Although Kang Le is a woman, Mr. Yan should read more books. He doesn't know how important it is to be a king."
Bai Guo looked at Yan Ren with her beautiful eyes, "I would also like to hear Mr. Yan's views on benevolence, justice, integrity, loyalty and filial piety, and the affairs of kings and ministers, but now... there's no need for that."
Bie Xia stepped forward and let Ging Guo help her stand up.
"The Bai family has prepared a guest room for Young Master Yan. Young Master Yan can do as he pleases." Bai Guo glanced at Yan Ren with a distant and indifferent look.
The doubts in his heart were cleared, and Bai Guo no longer loved or hated the person in front of him.
Pang Yan lifted the gauze, and Bai Guo looked at Bai Minghong and Bai Mingshao, "Thank you two cousins for accompanying me. My cousin's business is done, let's go back."
Bai Minghong stood up and bowed his hands politely to Yan Ren. He followed Bai Guo and was about to leave, but Yan Ren suddenly asked: "Is the Lord of Kangle County calling Yan Ren here today just to tell Yan Ren this?"
Bai Guo smiled politely and said, "Kang Le said it before, just to listen to Mr. Yan's opinion, and there is no other intention."
Yan Ren asked again, "Why does the county leader want to listen to Yan Ren's opinion?"
Pang Yang stood up and clenched his strong palms into fists. Blood flowed from his fingers and dripped down his white finger bones.
"Kang Le is from Kyoto, Mr. Yan, why do you think he is here?"
Bai Guo turned around and looked at Yan Ren with a slightly meaningful smile, "The Yan family is loyal and loyal to the country, to the emperor, and to the people. This is why they are admired by the people in the world. But if the Yan family does it for their own selfish desires, they will also lose the respect and admiration of the people in the world. , can make the soldiers of the Zhou Kingdom alienated and look down upon... This difference lies in the choice of the Yan family."
Cold sweat broke out on Yan Ren's back.
Is this the emperor's warning to them? !
Bai Guo withdrew his eyes and didn't want to say anything, but when he thought of the young man on the battlefield who was fighting hard to lead the Tiger Army soldiers out of the encirclement, he finally couldn't help but say something more, "Master Yan, you might as well ask more about why the ancestors of the Yan family are so brave. Think about why the ancestors of the Yan family are so loyal."
After all, the Yan family became the generals of the Zhou Kingdom.
If Chengzhou doesn't guide, who can come?
Not everyone can be loyal to a whole family, and it is not something the emperor can bear to see.
The Yan family should be admired by the world, and its name and history should be passed down to generations to come.
Rather than let the selfish desires of future generations ruin their righteousness to put down troubled times and the tragedy of being shrouded in horse hides.
Yan Ren looked at Bai Guo's back and was stunned on the spot.
After sending Bai Minghong and Bai Mingshao away, Bai Guo looked at Pang Yan.
Pang Yan felt a thump in her heart when she heard Bai Guo say: "I smelled blood on Brother Pang Yang just now. Please bring some medicine to see if Yan Ren was injured when he was forcibly brought here."
Pang Yan quickly lowered her head and responded, "Yes, I'll go take a look right now."
"Well, tell Brother Pang Yang that I hired a teacher for him and let him study in cousin Minghong's study after noon."
After today's incident, Ging Guo found reading more and more useful.
But you must not be left speechless by other people's one-sided words, or such a superficial side.
Pang Yan quickly took the order and retreated.
"What about you? Have you studied hard recently?" Bai Guo looked at Bie Xia beside him.
Bie Xia nodded quickly. "My slave has learned a lot of words recently and can also do abacus."
Yu Die's progress has already surpassed that of Bie Xia, and now accounting is no longer a problem.
"Well, just pack up your things. Don't take anything that is required by the county magistrate. We will go out to do business tomorrow."
Bai Guo's tone was as usual, but Bie Xia heard something different. After thinking about it for a moment, he lowered his voice and asked, "Do you need me to pack the clothes for a few days?"
"Before my birthday." Ging Guo felt helpless.
Her second uncle and second aunt would definitely not let her go out on her birthday. "I remember that I made a lot of clothes made of ordinary materials to accompany my grandmother to the temple, so these will be fine."
I'm talking about ordinary clothing materials, but they are actually the materials most commonly worn by young women from wealthy and noble families in Fengzhou.
Sober and beautiful, it makes a woman appear gentle and tranquil.
It's just that the old lady raised Gingguo so well that she thought these ingredients were ordinary.
"I'll take care of it when I get back." Bie Xia naturally wouldn't say this specifically. The county master said it was ordinary, so naturally this trip requires such ordinary things.
Ging Guo nodded slightly.
After dinner, Bai Yujing called Bai Guo to the study and took out the identity certificates of five female businessmen.
"Two of these five people are from Lehua Prefecture, and three are from Fengzhou Prefecture. Even if we go to Dali Temple, we won't be able to find out whether you and your identity are true or false."
Bai Yujing is very confident in this.
Bai Guo looked at the five identities one by one. The names inside were Yun Yan, Liang Hanjiao, Ai Lingzhu, Wen Shuwen, and Jin Meixue.
"Thank you, uncle." Bai Guo put all these away, "I will leave first tomorrow..."
"Tomorrow?" Bai Yujing blew his beard and stared, "What are you in a hurry for?!"
Bai Guo immediately expressed his position, "I will come back before my niece's birthday and will not leave until August 15th."
Bai Yujing then nodded, "You came back in a hurry this time, so I won't keep you much longer, but you must remember to come back from time to time. This guy Mingzheng likes you."
Bai Guo smiled and nodded, "I can do it, uncle."
When Bai Guo walked out of the study, he happened to see Bai Mingshao coming this way. Bie Xia, who was guarding the door, curled his lips, but still followed Bai Guo obediently and walked in the direction of Bai Mingshao.
"Cousin." Bai Guo saluted.
"Cousin." Bai Mingshao didn't say anything, "Dad is in there."
Bai Guo nodded, "Since my cousin has something to do, my cousin will go back first."
"Cousin, walk slowly." Bai Mingshao watched Bai Guo leave again.
It wasn't until he was far away that Bie Xia complained softly, "The second young master really doesn't see the benefit of the county lord and the eldest young master."
Bai Mingshao was raised by Aunt Qiu since he was a child. It wasn't until he was ten years old that Bai Yujing discovered that Bai Mingshao was being raised as a small family, so he took him away forcefully and raised him in front of He Mei.
From this point on, Bai Mingshao must always compare with Bai Minghong, and when Bai Minghong learns something new, he immediately asks to come over.
But now that Bai Guo's status was high, Bai Mingshao was worried about what benefits Bai Guo would gain from Bai Yujing.
"Be careful what you say." Although Bai Guo said this, he didn't mean to scold him.
Bie Xia quickly shut her mouth and stopped talking.
If she was really scolded, she would be replaced directly.
