Martial Arts Master Travelled to Ancient Time and Farms

Chapter 252: What you thought was a chance encounter was actually intentional

  Songyang Inn, a corner of the lobby.

  Cheng Ling heard someone talking and looked sideways.

   It turned out that the man who suddenly made a noise was a man at the next table. This man looked like thirty or so, with a national character face, a heroic temperament, and even a little rough.

   There were two others at the table with him.

   The two are a little older, with a white face and no beard, with wrinkles at the corners of their eyes, looking round and round, with a kind and kind look.

The other old man was a burly figure. He was sitting right in front of Cheng Ling. Cheng Ling's eyes just fell on him when he suddenly raised his eyebrows. Has the tendency to not be angry.

  Cheng Ling's heart moved slightly. If ordinary people were given such a glance, I was afraid that he would be trembling and timid at that time.

   If this person is not a top expert, he must have an extraordinary status, or maybe both.

  The capital of Wei State, as expected, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, just find a place to sit, and there may be experts haunting the next table.

  Cheng Ling bowed his hands to greet the three at the next table, and then smiled slightly, answering the question from the talented man just now.

   She said: "I'm just an idler in the countryside. I'm neither a court official, nor a general in the army. The word cowardice is really not dare to be."

   In other words, I have no status or position, an ordinary commoner, why should the saying "cowardly fight" be detained on my head?

Although   Cheng Ling is graceful and does not show anger and gaffe even if she is ridiculed by others, but she does not give an inch of her mouth.

He also said: "Minions have a shallow opinion, so I'll just say a few words. In this war, the first priority is logistics, which is a safe way. Why, in your opinion, the front-line soldiers are just fighting and don't need to bring food. Did you eat?"

  The Yingwu man was choked up and couldn't answer for a while.

   "For the matter of war, the first priority is logistics?" The burly old man repeated this sentence, which seemed to be chewing.

"It's interesting for you to say something from a later generation, but now the state of Qi is at war and it is when its national strength is weak. If you miss such a good opportunity, when the state of Qi is fully stabilized, and our country will send troops again, the difficulty of the war will increase by many times. ."

   The old man sighed, "Don't miss this opportunity, the time will never come again!"

   This old man is actually Emperor Wei who travels in WeChat!

   The white-faced old man beside him is Chang Hong, the servant, and the heroic man is Wang Wen, the regular servant of Sanqi.

   When Emperor Wei traveled and met Cheng Ling, it was not a coincidence.

   It is true that the matter of the Southern Expedition has been brought up again in the court recently. The civil and military officials have been quarreling with each other. The main war faction and the anti-war faction have their own reasons, and they can bombard the court eight hundred times a day.

  Emperor Wei didn't make a decision, didn't express his attitude, he just kept a cold eye on the quarrel of the audience, occasionally arguing over the fire, occasionally pressing again, suppressing the left and balancing the right, the emperor's ingenuity was a thief.

   However, seeing that everything was under control, Emperor Wei was not in a good mood.

  Southern Expedition, not only was the hundred officials arguing about it, but Emperor Wei himself was actually suffering because of it.

   No one on both sides of the main war faction and the anti war faction could convince the other, and neither could they convince Emperor Wei.

This decision was too difficult. Thinking of the difficulty, Emperor Wei took the book "Nongsang Shiji" and said to Chang Hong with emotion: "Although the person who wrote this agricultural book has great talent, it is a pity that cotton is not food after all. !"

  It was cold in the north, and the existence of cotton was a good thing for the soldiers guarding the Hu-Han border, but it did not help the southern expedition.

  Cotton can't fill the granary of the Great Wei after all, and can't promote the southern expedition.

Emperor Wei expressed this emotion to Chang Hong, and Chang Hong said: "Your Majesty, Mr. Cheng, who wrote the "Nongsang Shiji", has already entered the capital. Today, he received an invitation letter from the inner servant. You see, when will he be announced? "

  Which day did Xuan Chengling enter the palace?

   Chang Hong's question made Emperor Wei suddenly very quiet and thoughtful.

   "Cheng Yuzhi has entered Beijing? Where is he now?"

   Chang Hong was always concerned about the people who were summoned to Beijing by Emperor Wei. He immediately said: "Go back to Your Majesty, Mr. Cheng is currently staying at the Songyang Inn in the east of the city."

   Right at Songyang Inn? That's great!

   Wei Huang laughed and stood up immediately. They didn't ask people to go fishing in the imperial garden, let alone stay in the palace, so they brought Chang Hong and Wang Wen with them.

   Seeing and not seeing Cheng Yuzhi, that is secondary. The point is, if you can't fight a battle, and you're bored, it's better to go out of the palace to relax and get rid of sulking!

Cheng Ling didn't know that the old man who was talking to him was actually Emperor Wei, so he just said as usual: "What the old gentleman said is that the opportunity must not be lost, and the time will never come. Therefore, if you want to be safe and seize the opportunity, then only …”

   Having said that, she stopped.

   Hey, good boy, it's a close call!

  The Emperor Wei was immediately displeased and said: "What? What an earth-shattering good idea, you can't say it?"

   Cheng Ling's eyes turned slightly, and swiped at Chang Hong's Adam's apple next to him. She lowered her eyes, but suddenly put one hand on the table, leaned forward slightly and said, "It's not impossible to say, but I need to lower my voice and say, this idea is a bit damaging, and it's not easy for others to hear."

   A bad idea?

   Wei Huang suddenly became interested, he also leaned forward and lowered his voice: "Okay, then you can be quiet and listen to it."

  Wang Wen frowned, Chang Hong pricked up his ears, Wu Yun, Yang Lin and Xu Yi quickly moved their bodies and sat closer to Cheng Ling.

  Cheng Ling lowered his voice and said, "We don't have enough food. If we want to maintain domestic stability and obtain enough military rations in a short period of time, there are two strategies. One strategy is to internalize, lightly swindle and pay less money, so as to reassure the hearts of the people..."

   Light and thin?

   If Emperor Wei hadn't been by his side, Wang Wen would have almost scolded him.

  Good guy, you have to get food for war, you kid still want to spend less money?

   He heard Cheng Ling say: "One strategy is to go abroad, especially for Chen and Shu, you can buy food from these two countries."

What?

  Emperor Wei frowned slightly and said, "Chen and Shu know that my country is powerful, how can they sell food to our country?"

Cheng Ling chuckled: "Of course it's not directly looking for the lords of the two countries to buy food, but if there are those who are timid, who like to ride the wall, who are greedy for money, or who are lecherous... In short, there are scholar-officials with various weaknesses, look for them to buy food. Grain, the old gentleman thinks about it, will they not sell it?"

   How about saying this idea is bad?

  The Emperor Wei was silent for a moment, and after a while he laughed out loud.

The    laughter even disturbed the students who were still talking eloquently next to him, and this corner immediately attracted a lot of attention.

  Wei Huang glanced left and right, and gradually stopped laughing, but the gazes of others obviously did not really affect him. His bright eyes fell on Cheng Ling, and he smiled and said, "You young man, you look honest and simple, so it's not."

  Cheng Ling blinked, but said innocently: "Old sir, is this junior dishonest?"

   Emperor Wei:…
