"Master Bao seems to be quite interested in jade antiques?" Qin Xi frowned slightly, looking at Bao Daren with a look of contempt in his eyes.

The place where his adoptive father Qin Hui met Bao Daren was in another courtyard. It was the place where he usually chanted the wind and made the moon. The four walls were covered with calligraphy, painting and poems by famous masters of the past. People who can meet him here on weekdays are all Everyone uses calligraphy and calligraphy to express their own elegance and cultivation, to provoke their own words, and to win their favor, but this Bao Daren has looked directly at it since he entered the house. The few rare jade antiques placed on the shelf have never even glanced at the calligraphy and painting on the wall.

Although the Xiangfu collections are all extraordinary items, this is not a place to hide treasures. The precious jade and antiques placed here are mostly designed for the artistic conception of harmony with the scenery. Although it is expensive, it is not a lot of acquaintances. With regard to the background, Bao Daren's appearance as little as the water came out of his mouth really made Qin Xi feel a little more despised for this humble actor in his heart.

Perhaps it is precisely because of this that this actor will switch to the generals headed by Yue Fei without any stubbornness.

After all, the actor is an actor, even if Wan Tsumao was blinded for a while and made him a background, he still can't learn the grace and elegance of a real literati no matter how he learns it.

Therefore, he has been wondering why he, his adoptive father, would have worked hard for a while, thinking about seeing this actor.

In his opinion, this actor is nothing but a beam-jumping clown who is good at seeing the wind and making the rudder. He has climbed to this position by chance. There is no real learning at all, not to say that it is his foster father, even if he is in his position. , And a little bit of a lie about this actor is quite self-deprecating.

It’s just that his adoptive father, who is sipping tea on the side, still looks at all this in that unfathomable manner, not irritating, so he also restrained his tone as much as possible, trying to show himself a little bit. You're welcome.

Bao Daren raised his mung bean eyes and smiled lightly: "Yeah, yeah, Master Qin really has eyes like a torch. The villain always gets dizzy when he reads too many poems, calligraphy, and calligraphy. On the contrary, he sees these jewels. It’s so weird to be more energetic, and I don’t know where the root of the disease was planted!"

"Cough...cough..." Qin Xi didn't expect Bao Daren to speak so facelessly and frankly. For a while, he didn't know how to deal with it. He coughed twice and took up his teacup to cover it up.

But Bao Daren smiled more and more cutely: "I knew that there were so many rooms with elegant calligraphy and paintings in Xiangfu, but there were so many jeweled treasures in them. The villain had long since begged to come in and take a look. Master Qin summoned the villain to come today. Could it be that you also know the villain's hobbies and want to pay the villain's wish?"

Qin Xi couldn't understand whether Bao Daren's words were sarcastic, deliberately sarcastic, or whether he was blatantly asking for bribes without skin and face, but only slightly lowered his face to drink tea, but pretended not to hear it and did not answer.

If it is the former, look at his greedy and salivating look, and he still speaks this calmly in front of him, but it is not like it.

The latter is more in line with Qin Xi’s original judgment on Bao Daren. He is the rudder of the wind, and only profit is the plan. He should have been the master of this guy. In the past, he had treated him not badly. Then he saw that Yue Fei was gaining power. Taking a bite of self-reflection, and now he even went to the Yue Fei camp, it was truly a wall of grass.

It's just that such a villain, although you cannot rely on it as a confidant, it is easier to buy and use after all.

In any case, Bao Daren's status is quite subtle at the moment, and it is not unprofitable to make good use of it.

As soon as he thought of this, Qin Xi's expression eased slightly, and he squinted at Qin Hui, who had been sitting aside, seemingly out of control.

Qin Hui laughed dumbly, and slowly said: "The old man asked Master Bao to visit the house, just want to see clearly, this can come up with a way of doing two donations to benefit the widows, widows, young and weak, and the rich and the poor. Daren, what kind of character is it?"

The smile on Bao Daren's face was a little stiff, frowning slightly, and before he had time to speak, Qin Hui had already spoken first: "I can't help the merchants of the Song Dynasty, and the livelihood of the people is prosperous, but freedom is also the cause of the rich. The rich and the poor benefit the poor. Over time, the poor will succumb to the end of farming and the end of the business, which will inevitably shake the foundation of our country. And if the circulation of commodities is forcibly prohibited by the power of the country, it will inevitably fail. , The prosperity is no longer. The old man has been in office for more than 30 years and has served in Taige. For such a situation, he has been thinking about it for a long time, but he has no good ideas. When he sees Mr. Bao’s discussion, Fang Zi suddenly opens up. After that, I always wanted to see Master Bao."

"In addition," he looked at Bao Daren and smiled slightly: "If the old man infers that it is not bad, the two donation proposals this time are just the first step in Bao Daren's overall plan, and the old man really wants to teach Fang's family as soon as possible. Get a glimpse of the whole leopard, and listen to Master Bao's ideas about the future of the Song Dynasty, the wealth and the people's livelihood."

Bao Daren was speechless by him, and could no longer pretend to be crazy, but he was speechless for a while.

Qin Hui has been holding the country's handle for a long time. At this time, speaking lightly, there is a bit of indisputable majesty and sincere tone in his voice, which makes it difficult for people to produce a half-resistance mentality for a while. Even though he already knew that Qin Hui's mouth was wrong, he could hardly help believing what he said.

Qin Hui was able to stand in charge of the court for more than ten years, and he stood firm in the wave of political struggles. It was indeed not easy to follow him.

After a long while, Bao Daren breathed a sigh of relief, and then he came to his senses, and said in a light tone as much as possible: "If there is no overall plan, if Qin Xiang nodded, after all, it will be nothing more than a beautiful picture. ?"

Qin Hui laughed dumbly: "Master Bao thinks he has a misunderstanding of the old man."

Bao Daren frowned and was about to speak, but Qin Hui took it on his own accord: "The strategy of Master Bao is indeed the best way to manage the country and finances, but if it is improperly implemented, it will not be a good one, but he is afraid that it will be a disaster for the country and the people. Yes, it is the implementation of Master Bao's plan here and now, but it is not against Master Bao's plan itself. The two must not be confused."

"Oh?" Bao Daren was a little confused by him for a while, frowned slightly, and looked at Qin Hui.

Qin Xi seldom saw his adoptive father say so many things in one breath, and was a little stunned for a while.

Qin Hui took a sip from his teacup, smiled faintly, but suddenly changed the subject: "I wonder if Master Bao has any thoughts on Fang's overall situation today?"

……

"Drink!" With a loud roar, even the sound of hundreds of thousands of troops fighting between Song and Jin were suppressed for a while.

Niu Gao's meteor hammer pierced the void like a black lightning, and blasted directly on a tall catapult.

Amidst the shouts of soldiers from all around, there was a loud "bang", and the catapult, which was more than ten feet high, was torn apart by Niu Gao's hammer.

Jin Wushu frowned slightly, Xuan stretched out again.

Although these siege weapons are powerful, they are also inconvenient to transfer because of their huge size. The Yue Family Army has quite experience and well-trained to deal with these things. Often inadvertently, they rushed out for the surprise soldiers to break through, either with fire or with force. It is these few sunlight scenes that have destroyed many of their siege treasures.

Fortunately, the Emperor of Song State in Shuzhou City yesterday was really ignorant.

In the secret battle report that Han Chang sent him, it was naturally mentioned that the two artifacts were damaged, and the method of making these two statues of gods and demons was only known by the "devil god" Pu Cha Xuanling. I'm afraid In this battle of Song Dynasty, it is difficult to play any role.

But this is nothing.

He has been leading the army for more than ten years, and he is not relying on the power of gods and demons.

To defeat the enemy, the most fundamental thing is the morale of one's own army, and the commander must know how to find the weakest place to attack the opponent.

Now these two things can already be held in his hands.

The two statues of gods and demons yesterday were insured by the sudden thunderstorm. In any case, they were blessed by the gods. Under the guidance of Da Shanbaran, the army of Han Chang has now walked out of the generals of Song Guojian. The shadow cast by a single arrow, everyone is convinced that the fate is returned, victory will surely bring one's own side, the morale of the army, has reached the highest point.

In Shuzhou City, not only the faint and cowardly Emperor of Song Dynasty really lived, but the fear in that emperor's heart had begun to sprout, and he began to command indiscriminately as he did in the past, and toss his army in the most stupid way.

It's just that there is the unpredictable Song Jianjun in Shuzhou City after all. Han Chang wants to win, I'm afraid it is not so easy to win.

Just like this battle under Shunchang City.

To gnaw off this hard bone, I am afraid that even more painful costs will be incurred.

Song Dynasty’s emperor official’s family was trapped, and I was afraid that the news would spread to all quarters in an instant.

Therefore, the next battle in Shuzhou City must be done quickly, and there must be no delay, otherwise the delay will change.

Maybe I should put more fire on them.

"In the city of Shunchang, the treasury is full. On the contrary, you are rushing for a long distance and it is not easy to supply. It is really necessary to besiege the city for a long time. I am afraid that the ditch dug is suitable for your burial place." Xin Qiji looked at the Jurchen Sergeant who was digging the Haogou around Shunchang, frowning slightly, but he made a faint sarcasm in his mouth.

"You..." A bunch of Jurchen soldiers who were close to each other were angry at Xin Qiji almost at the same time.

Wan Yanyong pressed down the unsheathed waist knife of a general next to him, and gave Xin Qiji a cold glance.

He didn't understand why his Fourth Uncle had strictly forbidden anyone to hurt him, but at this moment, he also felt that this southern country's little white face was indeed a bit weird.

He has never been as determined to die as a general captive, but in the forest of swords and arrows on his side, he ridicules, laughs and swears, but it is day-to-day.

Perhaps this can only be done by people who really put their lives and deaths out of their salvation.

Jin Wushu stared faintly at Xin Qiji, then suddenly looked around and said, "Do you know that every time we hear him say something like this, it is a time when we should be happy."

Everyone around her body showed a puzzled look, but Xin Qiji sighed softly.

Jin Wushu looked into the distance: "A true soldier should understand that victory is not on the lips, but he still can't help but say something bold."

He turned his head and smiled slightly: "Because of this true soldier of the Song Kingdom, and because of our Dajin invincible army, I feel terrified."
