Chapter 705 National War Discussion 1
Bi Yuntao nodded and said: "That's right."
Meng Ruolang nodded: "Brother, you do have a good way of running this business. If all the people in the world were like you and focused on business, how could there be any trouble in the world?"
When Bi Yuntao heard this, he smiled. It turned out that Meng Ruolang was beating around the bush for this reason. It seemed that someone was behind the scenes to come to him this time. Meng Ruoxi is the only one who knows about these things he has opinions about, so the person who ordered him to come is ready to come out.
Bi Yuntao said with a smile: "If you want the world to be free from disasters, it's extremely simple. Just make the people's livelihood sufficient."
"Oh?" Meng Ruolang glanced at him with interest and said, "Brother, please tell me."
Bi Yuntao said: "People's livelihood, people's livelihood, to put it bluntly, is the people's livelihood. The word livelihood cannot be simpler for ordinary people. The people in China are the kindest and most simple. Everyone has food to eat and clothing to wear. As long as they have something to support them in their old age and have enough food and clothing, they will be satisfied and they will not want to cause any trouble."
"When you are young, you have something to support, and when you are old, you have something to rely on." Meng Ruolang murmured thoughtfully. The guard behind him couldn't help but look at Bi Yuntao in a different light. This sentence means that when you are young, you have something to support, and when you are old, you have something to rely on. It really spoke to his heart.
"Food and clothing are naturally important. We are afraid that people will harbor evil intentions." Meng Ruolang added: "Just like when the White Lotus Sect caused chaos, they were taken advantage of by people with evil intentions."
Bi Yuntao laughed and said, "Ruolang, I don't fully agree with your statement. The cause of the White Lotus Sect's rebellion was the riots of the hungry people. Later, they were exploited by the demons, and they became the evil deeds they are now. If the people have food and clothing, and Why do you want to cause trouble?"
Meng Ruolang nodded, acquiescing to his remarks, and then said: "In my opinion, the White Lotus Rebellion has harmed the foundation of China. How should we eradicate it?"
Bi Yuntao didn't have a good impression of the White Lotus Sect. Although he was a little grateful because of the White Lotus Sect, he got rid of poverty and married Meng Ruoxi, but the White Lotus Sect made the pretty widow suffer from illness, and even Bai Lian Jiao Huan and Tao Pengju colluded with each other and took advantage of people's danger to do evil things. It was only through him that he left in time and a crisis was avoided.
Bi Yuntao frowned, murderous intent appeared in his eyes, and his tone was slightly cold: "Divide the dissension, take its leader, attack from inside and outside, and rule it with heavy rules. The thirty-six strategies are all clever strategies."
Meng Ruolang pondered for a while, nodded, and said, "What do you think about the invasion of enemies from the north?"
"An invasion from the north?" Bi Yuntao was stunned for a moment. If he remembered correctly, those people in the north were Turks. The military capabilities are not weaker than those of the Chinese, and they can fight against the Chinese. In recent years, there has been a faint tendency to surpass the Chinese. Fortunately, the emperor is wise and powerful. After the Turks defeated three cities in a row, he decisively chose to trust firearms and invested a large number of firearms into the country. The battlefield has rewritten history. Otherwise, China would now have to cede territory to pay compensation and pay tribute to the Turks every year.
"Yes, the Northern Turks are ready to make a move." Meng Ruolang nodded solemnly, "Recently, spies came to report that the Northern Turks frequently sent troops to harass our northwest border. The people in the northwest are miserable and miserable." When he said this, there was a look in his eyes. With endless sorrow, he is nothing like the once playful and smiling Meng Ruolang.
Bi Yuntao laughed loudly, "Does this kind of question still need to be thought about? Others have already invaded. Is there any other way besides fighting? One thing must be known, if you are not from my tribe, your mind will be different."
"Hey!" Meng Ruolang sighed and said, "If everyone thinks like big brother, then there will be no worries."
"The Hu people have only temporarily attacked a few of our cities, but have not yet invaded our hinterland of China. Public opinion is arousing in the DPRK, and the main war faction and the peace faction are quarreling."
Bi Yuntao was extremely speechless. As expected, our nation likes to cause civil strife no matter what time it is. I really don’t know what to think. The enemy comes to your door, burns, kills, loots, sleeps with your women, beats your children, and doesn’t resist. What else can you think of? Regarding how to please the enemy, I really don’t know what to say.
"The treasury is empty, the soldiers lack fighting power, the court has no good generals, and the country has no strong soldiers. The ministers in the court suggested that it is better to seek peace first and then seek plots." Meng Ruolang glanced at Bi Yuntao and said, "Brother, what do you think?"
"Hmph! Ignorance!" Bi Yuntao scolded angrily: "Who doesn't know what the people who are seeking peace think? Such remarks about seeking peace are indistinguishable from fine work!"
Meng Ruolang said slightly excitedly: "Brother, are you the main site?"
"This is natural!" Bi Yuntao snorted: "We will fight as long as they want to fight. They Turks have cavalry, and we Chinese have firearms. It is still unclear which one is stronger and which one is weaker. If you win, you have to fight, and if you can't win, you have to fight even more. Fight. If we can't win in one year, we just lose the city. We can fight again the next year, and fight every year until we win. The whole country will fight until the last person is alive! If we don't dare to fight, we will lose the support of the people. Ruolang, there is a saying you need to know. Family is the smallest country, and a country is made up of thousands of families. Only when there is a country, there is a family, and only when there is a family, there is you. When the country is gone, where is the home? Losing the city or losing the country, you are willing to choose which one?"
"Lost the city and lost the country?" Meng Ruolang murmured and fell into deep thought. Bi Yuntao's words really benefited him a lot.
"Family is the smallest country, and a country is made up of thousands of families. It's really wonderful!" While thinking, a guard standing behind Meng Ruolang praised loudly.
"It's you!" Bi Yuntao looked over after hearing this, and then realized that the person who spoke was the person who painted on Su Ti.
"Haha, you're well, little brother!" The old man said with a smile: "I didn't expect that you and I would meet again at Chong'en Xianqin Temple in Lingyin Temple after we parted ways in Suti. It seems that the relationship between you and me It’s really quite a fate.”
Bi Yuntao is not a fool. Any chance of meeting him again is nonsense. This old man can pretend to be Meng Ruolang's bodyguard here, so he must have an ulterior identity. So he cupped his fists and saluted, and said respectfully: "I am honored to meet you again today. May I ask your surname?"
The old man smiled and said: "I didn't expect you to know Nephew Ruolang. I borrowed the pseudonym of the left prime minister. Please don't mind, little brother."
Bi Yuntao raised his eyebrows. The old man's answer was not what he asked. Obviously deliberately avoiding this topic. In this case, don't blame me for not being honest.
"I don't mind. The old gentleman generously donated the painting. How could I mind?" Bi Yuntao said with a smile, "I just don't know if the Prime Minister Zuo would mind. If I go to him with the painting, let me know that someone is borrowing it in his name." I don’t know what he can do with his pretentiousness.”
The smile on the old man's face did not change at all, and he smiled as usual: "Little brother, you really can't suffer a little loss with your temper! In that case, forget it! I will tell you my surname, so I won't give you the surname Huang. He is the fourth eldest child in the family, so he is nicknamed Huang Laosi."
