Lin Wanrong looked around and made sure that he was the only one, so he smiled at the person, "Brother, are you calling me?"
The man in yellow made the man in yellow laugh and said, "I'm talking to you."
Lin Wanrong was surprised, I don't know you, but what did you say to me? The man smiled and said, "Don't worry, I have no ill intentions towards you. Do you know Wei Xian?"
"Wei Xian? I don't know." Lin Wanrong said.
"Not necessarily, you seem to call him Uncle Wei." The man said again.
"Uncle Wei?" Lin Wanrong asked in surprise, "How do you know him?"
Wei Xian? Uncle Wei's original name was Wei Xian, but Lin Wanrong didn't know his name until now, and it turned out to be only one word different from Wei Zhongxian, so dangerous.
The man smiled and said, "I'm an old acquaintance with him, so why don't I know him? Not only do I know him, but I also know you. Your name is Lin Wanrong, and you are now working in Xiao's family. Lin Sanna's alias was chosen by Wei Xian for you. Right or wrong?"
After saying this, Lin Wanrong no longer had any doubts. The name Lin San was indeed given by Old Man Wei. Only Old Wei and Lin Wanrong knew the details.
"How is it? Believe it, can you come forward and talk about it?" The man smiled, his eyes were bright, and although he was smiling, there was an aura of calm and prestige.
"Old man, do you really know Uncle Wei?" Lin Wanrong stepped forward and asked. Look carefully at this person, at first he looks middle-aged, but on closer inspection it may not be the case. Although this old man is in good condition, his face is a little sickly pale. It can be seen that he is not in good health. His temples are all gray. Looking at his age carefully, he may be in his fifties or sixties.
Seeing that Lin Wanrong was approaching, the brawny men nearby became nervous. The old man in yellow robe shook his head slightly, and those people calmed down.
The yellow-robed old man narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at him, and said in an unhurried manner: "You are Lin Wanrong?" Although his voice was not loud. But there seemed to be a strange rhythm, which sounded in Lin Wanrong's ears like a heavy drum, making him feel oppressed. Damn, this old man is a bit weird.
"I'm Lin Wanrong. I don't know what this old gentleman wants from me?" It was really strange. Although the old man was smiling and talking, Lin Wanrong could always feel the pressure. It seems that the old man in yellow robe has a majestic aura that makes people have to surrender.
After coming to this world, Lin Wanrong felt a bit cautious for the first time, as if in front of this person, no matter how many abilities he had, he couldn't use it.
Lin Wanrong glanced at the old man. But he saw him looking at him with a half-smile, as if in his eyes he was a mouse waiting to be caught.
Are you right? I can do it too. Lin Wanrong's stubbornness came up, and he looked at the old man without saying a word, and was a little cautious at first. Gradually, I got used to it, no matter who you are, you still have one nose and two eyes like Lao Tzu, I'm afraid you will be a ball.
As soon as he let go of his mind, the pressure in his body dropped suddenly, and the old man's eyes were no longer sharp.
"Old man, you didn't come here just to see me, did you? Do you want to treat me to dinner? Please speak up if you have something to say. I'm not very polite." Lin Wanrong said with a smile, in this majestic In front of the old man, he became more and more comfortable. In this world, there are really few who can overwhelm him in terms of momentum.
The old man laughed, and his aura softened a lot, he said: "Wei Xian is right, you really have a thick skin."
Day, the old man didn't know how to be more tactful. Isn't this just scratching my face? Lin Wanrong smiled and said: "People live in this world, the most important thing is this face. The same face, but a hundred kinds Life. Laughing on the outside, crying on the inside; laughing on the inside, crying on the outside. This face is the most unreliable thing in the world, what is the use of it.”
The old man laughed loudly, the sound actually penetrated the entire bamboo forest, startled a few birds hidden deep in the forest, the momentum was really extraordinary. Lin Wanrong glanced at him, you old man, what are you doing laughing so loudly, aren't you scaring people
The old man laughed a few times, but coughed sharply again. A attendant-looking man next to him hurriedly handed over some pills. The old man swallowed the pills, his breath became calmer, his face became more bloody, and he looked at Lin Wanrong. He smiled and said, "I didn't expect you to have such a feeling at such a young age. You are right. In this world, the skin is the most useless thing. Someone has a good-looking skin, but no one knows what is in his stomach." What's the use of such a face if you're pretending to be something."
He calmed down for a while, and said with a smile: "I knew from Wei Xian that you are a good person. I saw you today, but you really have some skills. Would you mind chatting with me, an old man?"
Lin Wanrong smiled and said: "Old man, I have already come here, so why don't you mind or not. To tell you the truth, Uncle Wei is my savior, and you are his friend, so you are also my friend." .Talk a few words with friends, what else do you mind or not?"
The yellow-robed old man glanced at him and said, "What a mouthful." His eyes flashed sharply, and he said, "You said Wei Xian was your savior, but if one day you had to kill him, would you do it? Woolen cloth?"
The old man's eyes opened and closed, and there seemed to be a kind of divine light, as if he wanted to see through everyone, but Lin Wanrong was not afraid, and said with a smile: "Is there such a possibility? Even if it is, I will not do it. People The reason why I am different from beasts is that I have my own thoughts and feelings, if I can't stand Uncle Wei, how is it different from beasts?"
"The benevolence of a woman!" The old man closed his eyes and sighed, "Those who achieve great things must not care about small things. You are still too young."
Khan, people in their twenties still say they are young and don't know what the old man has experienced. Lin Wanrong didn't argue with him, and said with a smile: "Mr. Say these things?"
The old man changed his expression and said with a smile: "Not necessarily. Where are you from?"
I also want to know how to answer this question. Lin Wanrong shook his head helplessly and said, "It's from Jingchu."
"I heard that the Xiao family's business was planned by you, isn't it?" the old man said again.
Lin Wanrong nodded and said, "That's right."
The old man nodded: "You really have a good idea of this business. If the people in the world were like you and put their minds on business, how could there be any troubles in the world?"
Lin Wanrong smiled and said: "If you want to have no disasters in the world, it is extremely simple. People's livelihood is sufficient."
"Oh," the old man glanced at him with great interest. Said: "Tell me about it."
"People's livelihood, people's livelihood, to put it bluntly, is the livelihood of the people. Livelihood is the word. For ordinary people, it is very simple. They have food and clothes. The people of Dahua are the kindest. They are content when they have enough food and clothing. How could I want to cause any trouble." Lin Wanrong said.
"Food and clothing are naturally important. I'm afraid that people have evil intentions." The old man glanced at him and said, "It's like the White Lotus Sect's chaos, which was used by people with evil intentions."
Lin Wanrong laughed and said, "Old man, I don't agree with your statement. The cause of the White Lotus Sect's rebellion was the riots of the hungry people, and it was only later that the demons took advantage of it. It has become what it is now. If the people have food and clothing, they will Where do you want to be in trouble?"
A cold light flashed in the old man's eyes and he said: "The chaos of the white lotus has harmed the foundation of my great flower. In your opinion, how to eradicate it?"
One day, why did this old man discuss these matters with me? Lin Wanrong smiled and said, "Old man, this matter is out of my control, right?"
The old man in yellow robe said with a smile: "I'm just chatting with you casually, you can tell me your opinion."
Lin Wanrong didn't like Bai Lian very much. The old man was also a friend of old man Wei, so he said, "Divide and separate. Take the leader, attack both internally and externally, and deal with it severely."
The old man pondered for a while, nodded, and said, "What do you think about the heavy enemy invasion from the north?"
"Heavy enemy invasion from the north?" Lin Wanrong was stunned for a moment, why did the old man ask about this, the more he heard it, the more mysterious it became, and his tone was a bit like Qingxuan, he smiled and said: "Is there any need to think about it? Others have come in, besides fighting, is there any other way?"
"If everyone thinks like you, then there will be nothing to worry about." The old man snorted heavily and said, "The barbarians only attacked a few of my cities temporarily, and have not yet invaded the hinterland of our Dahua. There were four incidents, and the main battlers and the main peace faction quarreled."
Lin Wanrong shook his head, "Damn it, what's the matter with our nation, we like to cause civil strife when we have nothing to do, and when the enemy comes, we will fight, and we will make a fart."
"The treasury is empty, the soldiers lack combat power, the court has no good generals, and the country has no strong soldiers. The ministers in the court suggest that it is better to seek peace first, and then seek schemes." The old man glanced at him and said, "What do you think?"
"Please make peace, fuck your mother." Lin Wanrong cursed angrily.
The old man smiled slightly: "Are you the main battle?"
Lin Wanrong snorted: "If you win the fight, you have to fight. If you don't win, you have to fight even more. If you can't win in one year, we just lost the city. You can fight again in the next year, and fight every year until you win. If you don't dare to fight, Then you will lose the hearts of the people. Lost the city or lost the country, old man, which one do you want to choose?"
"Lost city and lost country?" The old man sighed, and said with a smile, "What a lost city and lost country. I didn't expect you to have such insight. The people in the imperial court don't understand like you, a grassroots."
Lin Wanrong shook his head and said, "It's not that they don't understand, but they understand it too well. If the country is subjugated, they will surrender, and they will be high-ranking officials and rich in salary. Only the emperor sitting on the golden throne is the most nervous. Everyone else can surrender. But he couldn't surrender. Who do you think is a sensible person? People's hearts, people's hearts—"
"Hahahaha—" The old man in Chinese clothes laughed a few times and said, "Well said, people's hearts are all people's hearts. Since ancient times, it has been the bad thing about people's hearts. Lin Wanrong, you are not very old, but you have a thorough understanding of people's hearts, okay, Very good."
The old man chatted more happily, and said: "If it is the main battle, the Hu people are big and powerful, and my Dahua soldiers are all in a weak position. How should we fight?"
Damn, come ask me this question too? I have never fought a war. Lin Wanrong smiled wryly and said: "Mr., I have never been to court, nor to a battlefield. I don't know much about this duel."
The old man waved his hand and said: "It's better not to go to the court, you can say anything, if you go to the court, I'm afraid you can't say anything. You just talk, if you don't understand state affairs and war affairs, disturb Once you get in, what will you do? Maybe you can see it more clearly than those of us in the middle.”
Lin Wanrong saw that this man had a good manner, and his conversation was quite imposing, so he thought. Uncle Wei's friend didn't know who he was from, he spoke with a bit of authority, and his tone was very confiding, and he was able to handle all the affairs of the country and wars at his fingertips. Without any scruples, I am afraid that there are some powerful forces in Beijing.
He's a profiteer, he can't get ahead without profit, so he said with a smile: "Mr., these things are not something that I, a grassroots person, can talk about, so let's not talk about it.
The old man said with a smile: "I know you are a businessman. I asked you to say this today, but I won't let you waste this talk in vain. I owe you a condition. Come on When you arrive in Beijing, come and look for me, and I will grant you one wish."
Sure enough, this old man has a lot of background. It's just that he doesn't know what kind of official he is, and how could Lao Wei know such a high-ranking official.
The yellow-robed old man took a badge from his waist and said: "This is a token. If you go to the capital in the future, you will find this token in the Yamen. Someone will take you to see me."
He handed the waist card to Lin Wanrong, Lin Wanrong took a look in his hand, but saw that it was half the size of a palm, it was made of pure gold, it was very heavy, and there was a golden dragon engraved on both sides, other than that, there was nothing else. other things.
"Old gentleman, are you from the palace?" Lin Wanrong asked in surprise. He has never seen this thing before, why does it look a bit like an imperial envoy badge? However, there should be at least one side of the imperial envoy's badge engraved with words, usually with the character "御", symbolizing imperial power, and the more advanced character "望", which means that I am here in person. It is a high-end product, and it is rare to see. But Kelongdi has never seen these two sides, and he doesn't know what it is. However, judging from the weight of the gold medal, it might be worth a lot of silver.
Seeing him playing with the gold medal, the old man said with a smile: "If you come to the capital in the future, you will know who I am. Today you can safely and boldly say, if you are an outsider, how should you deal with this national war. "
Waste a few mouthfuls of water, get a gold medal, this business is full, Lin Wanrong smiled and said: "Since the old man asked me to say it, then I will say it straight. It is true that there are foreign enemies in the north, but the foreign enemy is not as powerful as we imagined." They must also have enemies, and the enemies of the enemies are our friends. Why don't we, Dahua, unite with them and attack powerful enemies together
"Furthermore, although these nomadic peoples are powerful in battle, they are also easy to split. The dispute between father and son is very fierce. Why don't we take advantage of it? I have many advisers in Dahua, and there are not a few people who are eloquent and good at lobbying. If someone goes deep into the enemy's territory, agitating for a three-inch house, and promising some short-term benefits, it is not impossible to split from the inside." Lin Wanrong finished speaking in one breath, and he admired himself a little. Damn, I can really fool, It's true.
"An eloquent person, a good lobbyist?" The old man muttered to himself, but he glanced at Lin Wanrong intentionally or unintentionally.
Lin Wanrong's heart skipped a beat, ouch, isn't this just about myself? Damn, I accidentally got Lao Tzu into it. If I go to the hinterland to persuade the enemy, I will die without life. I can't do such a loss-making business.
The old man was silent for a long while, then glanced at him, and said: "From the perspective of an outsider like you, this method is simple and practical, and it also makes sense. Then talk about the war, what do you think?"
Lin Wanrong made a fuss, and seeing the old man seemed very satisfied, he thought to himself, I am summing up experience in history books, and I don’t know how many TV novels I have read. Isn’t it easy to give you some big and empty ideas? These words are like floating clouds in the sky, they can be heard clearly, but they can be seen but cannot be touched, and they are very empty.
Speaking of war, Lin Wanrong said flickeringly: "I have never been on the battlefield, but everything needs to use strengths and avoid weaknesses. This trick is universal. For example, if the enemy is a good cavalry, he will be trapped in urban battles and street battles. If you are proficient in infantry, then you are limited to cavalry warfare. Those nomads are experts in cavalry warfare, but they are not good at attacking cities, and they are thousands of miles deep. This logistical support is definitely unsustainable. On my own land, Dahua , As long as there is a call, it will be an inch of rivers and mountains, an inch of blood, one hundred thousand young people, one hundred thousand soldiers, and the people of Dahua are all over the place, and there are all available soldiers everywhere. How can there be no soldiers, and why can't we win? say?"
When Lin Wanrong talked about the end, he was a little too involved, and hurriedly restrained his emotions.
The old man glanced at him and said: "If your words are in the court, I'm afraid you will become the target of criticism again. Every inch of rivers and mountains, every inch of blood, one hundred thousand youths and one hundred thousand soldiers, if I am full of civil and military affairs, there will be people all over the country." If you think this way, why worry about the Tartars not being destroyed and the rivers and mountains not restored?"
He sighed, and said with a smile: "It's just that in this matter of war, enthusiasm alone is not enough. Your words are just on paper, but they may not be practical on the battlefield."
Lin Wanrong said with a smile: "Mr., although my words are superficial and a bit on paper, they can be regarded as the general direction of the program. It is enough to outline the outline and know how to use it well. As for how to implement it, it should be my military officer and general in Dahua. Let’s figure out a way, the imperial court gives them salaries to let them defend their families and the country, otherwise what’s the use of it.”
The old man nodded and said with a smile: "I didn't expect you to have some knowledge, and Wei Xian is right."
An attendant came over and said something softly to the old man. The old man nodded and said to Lin Wanrong: "I have some things to leave first. If you come to the capital in the future, you can come to me as I said. Remember, remember."
Seeing the old man get into the sedan chair and gallop away under the guard of his attendants, Lin Wanrong was still wondering why I had been talking nonsense with this old man about state affairs and wars for a long time for no reason, I couldn't believe it myself .
He took a look at the gold medal in his hand, it was heavy and very important, and put it in his arms, this was probably the only gain from this battle of words.
