Playing intrigue is worse than engaging in infrastructure

Facing the repeated inquiries, Song Qingyuan did not rush to answer.Instead, he lowered his eyes and remained silent, pretending to be thinking.

Is he helpless?Not really.

On the contrary, there are too many ways to destroy a country without fighting.

In the long history of mankind for thousands of years, Song Qingyuan can list countless ways to make a country collapse from the inside without bloodshed.

Manipulating public opinion, intensifying social conflicts, economic sanctions, food wars, peaceful evolution...

Taking out any one of them at random can be regarded as a dimensionality reduction blow for countries in this era.

"Your Highness, do you have concerns?" Seeing that Song Qingyuan remained silent for a long time, Lian Ti couldn't help asking.

Is there any concern?Song Qingyuan questioned himself in his heart, what are you worrying about?

Many people followed him, willing to follow him to this strange capital, to be a proton restricted everywhere.

But he let these people follow him to waste time.

Song Qingyuan asked himself countless times, what is the meaning of his dormancy?

It's not that I can't do anything to change the status quo, it wasn't in Yanyun, and it wasn't in Southern Zhou.

Song Qingyuan knows very well that since the knowledge in his mind from later generations can benefit countless people, it can naturally make a country stronger in a short period of time.

But the so-called "prosperity, the people suffer, and the death of the people, suffering." He didn't understand the meaning of this sentence before, but now he really understands it.

Mobei was divided, and the people were displaced, so they were naturally miserable.But if you use your own means to solve the problem of the separatist rule of various tribes, let Mobei unify.Will the people be spared from suffering?

That's not the case, is it?

In the Spring and Autumn Period, there were allusions of "Qi Wan Lu Jin" and "Buying Deer to Make Chu".

At that time, Qi State conquered Lu State and Chu State, relying on trade wars.Guan Zhong just used a foot of plain onyx and a few live deer to let the state of Lu cede the land and sign the contract, which greatly injured the vitality of the state of Chu.

It is not difficult to replicate this trade war in Mobei.Even because of Mobei's inconvenient transportation, single agricultural and animal husbandry industry, and underdeveloped foreign trade, this matter is more likely to succeed.

But he knew that wars without bloodshed were often more cruel, just like the price of Qi's conquest of Lu was that Lu starved and killed countless people.

He didn't know if he was doing the right thing.Song Qingyuan was silent for a long time, and spoke slowly with some difficulty: "I have heard a story before."

"What story?" Lian asked.

"On a certain continent, there used to be two bordering countries "Qi" and "Lu".The monarch of Qi State wanted to annex Lu State, but Lu State was too powerful to be defeated.A minister named Guan Zhong offered such a strategy to the king of Qi. "

"At that time, both Qi and Lu were rich in a kind of silk that was loved by the nobles of the two countries. Guan Zhong ordered the people of Qi to forbid the production, but let people go to Lu to buy. As a result, the price of Lu's silk soared, and many Lu people Seeing this, they all gave up growing grain and turned to producing silk, and then used the money they earned from selling silk to buy grain in Qi."

Lian Ti slowly put down the wine cup, gradually frowned, and stared at Song Qingyuan thoughtfully.

Song Qingyuan sighed, knowing that Lian Ti already understood the meaning of what he said.

He thought to himself, what king can refuse such a way to deal with the enemy without a single soldier?

But Song Qingyuan insisted on telling the story.

"In the second year, the State of Qi issued an order prohibiting the nobles from buying silk from the State of Lu, and not allowing merchants to sell grain from the State of Qi to the State of Lu. As a result, the silk products of the people of the State of Lu could not be sold or exchanged for grain. The arable land of our own country was abandoned again, food was in short supply, and many people starved to death. But Qi State not only hurt the vitality of the powerful neighboring country without a single soldier, but also signed a treaty of submission to itself. In addition, it also They made a lot of money by selling grain at a high price later on.”

"What do you think, Your Majesty?" Song Qingyuan looked up at Lian Ti, observing his expression carefully.But he saw that Lian Ti was just sitting quietly and meditating, not showing any joy.

He was unmoved?Still haven't understood the essence of the trade war?Song Qingyuan was a little puzzled.

Just when he was about to ask aloud, he heard Lian Ti say: "This Guan Zhong is indeed a rare counselor."

Song Qingyuan pouted.Guan Yiwu is such a powerful economist and politician, from officials to state ministers, and even Duke Huan of Qi respectfully calls him "Zhongfu". In your mouth, he is just a counselor?

Lian Ti continued: "Although this plan is good, it seems that His Highness does not agree with it?"

Song Qingyuan glanced at him in surprise, and saw that he was in a good mood with raised eyebrows and a smile.

He was speechless.Please, we are discussing about your Mobei now.Can you be more serious?

You are the monarch of Mobei, and you are not a passerby who has nothing to do with you. Why do you put on such a look to watch the excitement?

Song Qingyuan was a little tired, and his original thoughts were thrown to the back of his head. He nodded, "I just think that the people of Lu State are innocent."

This sentence originally had another sentence, "No matter what, it will always be the people who suffer."

But Song Qingyuan felt that this remark was inappropriate and useless, so he paused and did not say it.

"What Your Highness said is indeed a rare and wonderful plan." Lian Ti said.

"If it is used to deal with other countries, the king may consider it. However," Lian Ti paused and looked at Song Qingyuan, "Other tribes are also the subjects of the king, and the king is unwilling to use this strategy to cause the people to suffer. "

Song Qingyuan was stunned in surprise, and looked at Lian Ti in disbelief.

Since ancient times, kings have always used everything to maintain their rule.

As long as their country is strong, in their eyes, what does it matter to them to kill a few insignificant civilians?

No one cares about the life and death of ants.

It is their rare luck to be praised by others as "a well-deserved death".

Song Qingyuan sighed. He originally thought that Lian Ti should be like the young Ying Zheng or Xiang Yu, who was committed to expanding the territory and achieving great achievements, but he didn't expect that he was mistaken. up.

For some reason, there was a lightness in his heart.

Song Qingyuan poured himself a glass of wine, and said in a deep voice, "This is not the only way. It's just that if the king doesn't want the people to suffer, it will take several years of planning."

Lian Ti's tone was hearty, and his laughter was crisp, "This king is only a year old, so why worry about waiting for the plans of those years!"

Even mentioning high-spirited, Gu Pan is full of the self-confidence of a young king.

Song Qingyuan was affected by his aura, so he couldn't help but nodded with a smile, and held up the wine cup, "Since the king is so confident, I am willing to do my part for it."

Lian Ti shook his head, "This king is not confident in himself, but in His Highness's ability."

Song Qingyuan raised his eyebrows. In fact, he never understood why Lian Ti had such inexplicable trust in him.

He thinks he has the ability to change the situation because he believes in the crystallization of the wisdom of the Huahua family people stored in his head for thousands of years.

But Lian mentioned that he has only met him a few times, so where does the trust in him come from? It can't be based on appearance, can it?

The two were not familiar with each other before, so it was inconvenient for him to ask.But now that he has reached a preliminary cooperation intention, he still decided to ask Lian Ti to answer the doubts that have plagued him for a long time.

He asked his confusion out, thinking that Lian Ti had found something along the Xiangguo Temple incident.But he didn't expect the other party to give an answer that made him quite speechless.

Lian Ti casually said: "That day when I was hunting in autumn, I accidentally ran into one of His Highness's subordinates surnamed Qin. He was too obvious. Kung Fu. Your Highness must be an extraordinary person to be followed by such a soldier with superb martial arts skills."

Song Qingyuan remained silent, but Qin Zizhen had already made a strong memory in his heart.

That day, the Japanese ordered him to lead people to sneak into the paddock, secretly protecting the group of people.

Qin Zizhen was born as a military general, and he has never been willing to work as a secret guard.But in those few days, I didn't listen to Qin Zizhen complaining that the task was boring.

He thought it was Qin Zizhen's change of temper, and he probably sneaked out to hunt by himself.

Seeing this, Lian Ti chuckled, "I also saw it by accident. It was dusk at that time, and the location was remote. It must be because of General Qin's negligence."

It doesn't matter whether it was negligent or not, anyway, Qin Zizhen's punishment is inevitable.Song Qingyuan thought to himself.

"Your Majesty trusts me so much, I am very grateful, but," Song Qingyuan paused, "How will Your Majesty let me follow you to Mobei?"

Song Qingyuan raised his eyebrows and looked at Lian Ti. He had already thrown a few cards to him, and now he had to see Lian Ti's performance.

Lian Ti blinked, "Why, Your Highness doesn't trust me?"

Um?This person wouldn't want to be an empty-handed white wolf, would he?

Song Qingyuan looked pale, "I really don't trust King Mobei that much."

His first impression of Lian Ti was not very good. The story of "fading color and love to drive" is still vivid in my mind.

Song Qingyuan's original intention was to warn Lian Ti not to fall for his beauty tricks, so that he would not have to do useless work, not that he had plans to serve others in Israel.

But even mentioning the performance at that time, it really didn't look like he had no interest in him.

At that time, the two met for the first time. Although there was the matter of selling grain to Mobei merchants in Dongri, it was not a major event worth mentioning.Lian Ti's performance at that time was very unusual.

Lian Ti laughed loudly, "Although I don't know why Your Highness would think this way, but this king will never let His Highness's situation be worse than being trapped in Huijing, won't he?"

It is true.Song Qingyuan thought, how bad could it be?

But he didn't answer the words, but also laughed along with Lian Ti, "Why not? Being rumored to be good at Long Yang is not a lesson from the past."

Song Qingyuan's tone was faint, and when he looked at the other party, Lian Ti's smile froze on his face for an instant.

Lian Ti gritted his teeth. It was obviously a few provocative tribal leaders who did the shit, but he was asked to bear the consequences.

"If I leave Huijing with King Mobei, I will be controlled by the king and locked in a secret room to be a male favorite. Then the loss outweighs the gain."

Song Qingyuan took advantage of the victory and pursued him with a calm expression, without any embarrassment.Naturally, it seems to be discussing the question of "how is the weather today".

As long as I'm not embarrassed, it's others who are embarrassed.

Song Qingyuan raised his eyebrows, only to see that Lian Ti muttered something in a low voice, which should be Huye language.

But because the speech was too fast and the voice was low, Song Qingyuan couldn't hear clearly.

Just looking at Lian Ti's expression, he guessed it wasn't some kind of compliment.

Song Qingyuan was about to speak when there was a knock on the door.Jiang Duo, who was guarding behind him, walked over and opened the door upon hearing the sound.

The person who knocked on the door was dressed in Mobei costumes, and the accessories should be the leader of a certain tribe.

Probably the news came from Mobei, and he was in a hurry to report to Lian Ti.Song Qingyuan thought to himself.

Sure enough, Lian Ti said excuse me, put down the wine cup, and followed the leader out.

Jiang Duo closed the door under Song Qingyuan's signal, and whispered in Song Qingyuan's ear: "Your Highness, don't you want to go to Mobei with King Mobei?"

Song Qingyuan shook his head when he heard the words, "The situation in Yanyun is unpredictable now, except for Mobei, we have no better place to go."

"Then why, Your Highness?" Jiang Duo didn't finish his sentence, but Song Qingyuan understood what Jiang Duo was referring to.

His last remark was indeed a bit of a joke, but it was not a casual remark.

Song Qingyuan looked unpredictable, glanced at the figure of Lian Ti who was listening to his subordinates at the door, waved his hands and said to Jiang Duo, "Just watch."

After he finished speaking, he straightened up and looked at King Mobei who pushed the door in.

Lian Ti sat down again, took a sip of plum wine from Furong Pavilion, clicked his tongue in dissatisfaction, and said casually, "This wine is as light as water."

"Since that's the case, I will give His Highness a reason to return to Mobei with me in an open and honest manner. How good is that?" Lianti looked at Song Qingyuan, his tone quite sincere.

Song Qingyuan caught a glimpse of Jiang Duo's surprised expression from the corner of his eye, and nodded as usual, apparently as expected.

"Then I will wait for the news from King Mobei." Song Qingyuan raised his wine glass and drank the amber liquid in the glass.

Standing behind him, Jiang Duo's admiration for Song Qingyuan was even higher.Heart said: "Your Highness is really powerful. It was His Highness who wanted to find a way out in Mobei. As a result, King Mobei gave His Highness a promise that sounded quite weighty."

But in fact Song Qingyuan himself was a little surprised, but he didn't show it.

As the proton sent to Huijing by Yanyun, it is not easy for him to leave Southern Zhou, let alone mention Mobei in a logical manner.

I have already prepared the medicine for feigning death, but leaving Beijing with feigning death is not only troublesome, but the plan is not foolproof.

How can Lian Ti make him leave in an open and honest manner?Song Qingyuan couldn't help feeling a little curious.

Today is the king of Mobei who impresses Xiao Song and is very easy to deceive.
