"General Pang, don't underestimate me...!"
"Huh? Why doesn't everyone go in?"
Just as Wang Ben was about to give a warning, the young lady's carriage had already arrived in front of several people. A cute little face poked out of the carriage and asked in surprise.
"Your Majesty, Meng Tian, see you, young master!"
Meng Tian took the lead and bowed his hands in a salute. The other generals just bowed their hands symbolically, but did not speak, and there was no sign of respect on their faces.
"You two, please come this time!"
Pang Gaoyuan made an invitation gesture to Wang Bi and Zhang Han again, got on his horse and walked towards the city.
Before, he only thought that this boy was incompetent, but when the boy poked his head out, through the gap in the sedan curtain, he also saw two fair-skinned women inside, one was as tender as water, and the other was heroic. They are compelling, echo each other, and actually complement each other!
At such a young age, he didn't even have full hair, yet he learned how to live a debauched life, which made him even more disappointed!
His Majesty was really blind when he asked him to be the head coach!
If we can win this battle against the Huns, then they will really be haunted!
It was precisely because of these thoughts that he turned his horse's head and headed straight into the city!
"Young Master, Marquis Tongwu, and several generals, they have been working hard all the way. Let's go to the city and have a rest!"
Seeing this situation, Meng Tian was extremely embarrassed and quickly tried to smooth things over.
"Thank you, General Meng!"
However, Xiao Zhengtai did not mean to blame, but smiled and nodded.
…
"Two generals, you have worked hard all the way. Please take your seats!"
Even after arriving in the city, Pang Gaoyuan still regarded Xiao Zhengtai as a transparent person and directly invited Wang Bi and Zhang Han to sit down!
According to the rules, sitting down is the highest etiquette for distinguished guests.
This time, he first expressed his welcome to Wang Ben and others, and secondly, he also expressed his disdain for that kid!
Deliberately embarrassing him!
However, what he didn't expect was that the two of them ignored him. They stood next to the young lady, one on the left and the other on the right. They respectfully asked the young lady to take a seat, "Young Master, please...!"
Through what had just happened, the two of them had already understood that this guy was probably blind and didn't take the young master seriously!
But they knew the young master very well and knew whether he could offend them!
Besides, they both own shares in the young master’s wine shop, so they are like grasshoppers on the same rope!
If they offend the young master, their quarterly dividend of 50,000 yuan will be gone!
If you want to live a good life in the future, you can count on these dividends!
"Well! Everyone, please sit down!"
The young lady showed no intention of being accommodating, and took the main seat with her short legs.
Seeing that he was sitting firmly, Wang Ben and Zhang Han dared to sit down.
Han Xin, Ying Bu, Fan Kuai and other young generals waited for them all to sit down before sitting down.
"Come here, serve the food!"
After everyone was seated, Meng Tian ordered the soldiers to serve wine and food.
Pang Gaoyuan looked puzzled, thinking that Wang Bi and Zhang Han's status in the court was not low. I had never heard that they were so respectful to any prince before. I didn't know what was going on. Why were they so respectful to a stupid kid? ?
Is it possible that after a few years of not seeing each other, the always upright Marquis Tongwu has turned into a flatterer?
It shouldn't be. Looking at the posture, I'm afraid it's only for the emperor, right?
Your Majesty has not even decided on the crown prince yet. There are many princes above this kid. The possibility of becoming emperor is extremely small. Why don’t you start flattering him now?
"General, the food and drinks are here!"
Just when he was wondering, the soldiers had already served all the meals and were reporting to Meng Tian.
"Well, let's go down first!"
Meng Tian waved his hand.
"General Meng, do our soldiers in the army eat this every day?"
Seeing the food on the table, Wang Wan held the ballpoint pen given to him by Xiao Zhengtai in one hand and a small notebook made in Xianyang in the other hand, and asked.
Since you want to be a war reporter, you should start recording everything from the moment you enter the city, down to the smallest detail!
"Dare I ask...who is this?"
Meng Tian looked at Wang Wan, who was handsome and slightly heroic, and looked at Wang Bi and Zhang Han in confusion.
Normally, women are not allowed in the military, let alone sitting at the same table!
But they were able to ride in the same car with the young master, which proved that their status was extraordinary, so he didn't ask any more questions!
At this time, he asked about the food in the army, which aroused his curiosity!
"Oh! This is my daughter Wan'er. She is traveling as a war correspondent this time, so she is asking about the food in the army!"
Wang Ben introduced with a smile.
"Oh? So this is the daughter of Marquis Tongwu? Pang has long admired her name!"
Before Meng Tian could speak, Pang Gaoyuan took over the conversation, showed great admiration, and bowed his hand towards him.
"Have you... heard of Wan'er?"
This moment made Zhang Han confused.
This guy has been guarding the border with Meng Tian for many years. How can he know Wang Wan?
Even if you want to get close, you have to find some other excuse, right?
"Haha, not only General Pang has heard of President Wang's name, but everyone in Shang County and Yanmen County knows the names of President Wang Wan and Editor-in-Chief Chen Ping!"
This time Meng Tian also stood up and testified, saying that Pang Gaoyuan did not lie.
He also ordered people to take out recent newspapers and show them to everyone!
"Oh? I remember that the newspaper's branch hasn't reached Shangjun yet?"
Wang Wan stood up, took one, and said doubtfully.
But after taking a closer look, the date was already half a month ago!
It seems that traders brought it to Shang County and Yanmen County in order to earn the price difference!
"I wonder how much this newspaper costs in Shang County?"
Xiao Zhengtai's childish voice sounded in the room.
Although the sound is not loud, it is extremely penetrating and can be heard by everyone present!
"Fifteen cents a piece!"
Meng Tian looked at Xiao Zhengtai with a smile and said.
"Fifteen Wen? Are these businessmen too shady?"
Upon hearing the price, Wang Wan immediately exclaimed.
In Xianyang City, the price of newspapers was only three cents. Unexpectedly, in this remote place, the price increased five times. It was not very profitable!
"It's normal. Merchants have the risk of overstocking and hoarding goods. There are also transportation costs. The border areas are far away from Xianyang, so it is normal for prices to rise!"
Xiaozhengtai understood it very well.
If there was no profit, who would bring the newspaper so far to sell it?
Do good things to others?
Now the newspaper is expanding its branch, and within two years, it should be able to open it to border areas!
By then the people here will no longer have to pay high prices to buy newspapers!
"Report..."
"General Meng, the Huns cavalry came to invade the people of Yanmen Pass again. They robbed many of the people's food and livestock. Even the girls in the village were taken away, and many villagers were killed!"
At this moment, a soldier hurried in from outside and handed over his hand to report.
