Chapter 152 Wei Xiang who is busy digging a pit (supplement 1)
Wei Yi.
On weekdays, Wei Prime Minister lived in the small courtyard given by Zhao Shuo in the lower palace, but these days were just a day of rest, so Wei Prime Minister returned to Weiyi.
Weiyi is full of vitality at this moment, and the wheat in the fields is rising gratifyingly. The Wei soldiers trained in the fiefdom are also alive.
"One or two, kill!"
"One or two, kill!"
Amid the neat command, the Wei soldiers in groups were drilled according to the Wei square formation proposed by Wei Xiang before.
The steel weapons whizzed in the air, and the cold light shone, making them extremely intimidating.
Wei Xiang likes to see this situation very much. As a time traveler, he is extremely convinced by the words of the founding great man - power comes from the barrel of a gun!
My father's evaluation of this Wei family phalanx is obviously not too high: "Although it is useful, it is of no use above the battle formation!"
My father's opinion is reasonable. Nowadays, chariots are the first combat power. Most of the infantry are recruited from civilian savages to follow the existence of the chariots and fighting soy sauce.
Now that Wei Xiang has raised the status of infantry to such a level, it is obviously contrary to the military insights of this era.
Wei Xiang smiled and looked at his father, saying, "Father, you lost."
The father was furious and said, "That's because there are no chariot soldiers! If you, the infantryman, will be dispersed by the chariot soldiers!"
Wei Xiang laughed: "Father, you are willing to bet and never give up, not the demeanor of a scholar!"
Many people say that women are unreasonable, but in fact, fathers are also unreasonable. It is a good habit for every father to just talk about children.
Seeing that his father had raised his hand, Wei Xiang, who was prepared, immediately spoke: "Father, Man'er is pregnant!"
My father's movements suddenly froze in the air, his face full of disbelief: "Take it serious?"
Wei Xiang laughed: "Of course it's true. I was diagnosed by the doctor yesterday."
My father was full of excitement and turned around and left: "I have to tell your mother this good news!"
Looking at the father's departure, Wei Xiang coughed and stretched out his hand to Wei Jing beside him: "Give the money!"
Wei Jing took out a small jingling wallet from his arms with a look of pain and put it in Wei Xiang's hand, saying, "You are cheating!"
Wei Xiang glared at Wei Jing: "Nonsense, I am winning by wisdom. Today, the Japanese brother will teach you a lesson. As long as we can grasp what a person is concerned about, we can start from this aspect, do you understand?"
Gambling is a pleasure, so even if you only win a small amount of money like 100, Wei Xiang is still in a good mood.
But this kind of good mood was immediately destroyed by a courier who was galloping from a fast horse.
After reading the letter written by Lan Jie, Wei Xiang frowned first, then slowly sootheed, and said to himself.
"This guy dared to attack the formation of more than 5,000 people with a hundred people... Do you really think he is me?"
Wei Xiang thought for a while and then went to find the sect leader cousin Wei Jiang.
Wei Jiang was holding a willow branch in his hand, scolding his eldest son Wei Shu with a serious expression: "Look at the words you wrote, they are twisted and twisted, what kind of style is it? Write it carefully for me. If you can't write it well, don't think about going there today! Hey, why are you here, brother,?"
Wei Xiang smiled and said, "There are some urgent matters that I want to discuss with the sect leader."
After a moment, the cousin of the sect, who learned the whole situation, readily agreed to Wei Xiang's request: "No problem, now the five hundred armored soldiers have been recruited, and the first batch of weapons and armor transported from Handan have been equipped, otherwise they will be given all of them?"
Wei Xiang smiled and said, "No need to have that many, only three hundred people."
The cousin of the sect master waved his hand: "No problem! Take my order to find Uncle Zhong and ask him to transfer people to you."
So Wei Xiang took the order to find his father.
The father looked at Wei Xiang with a strange expression: "You have to make trouble again in just a few days? The Wei family has just annexed the territory of Xu family, and the number of soldiers has only been trained for a month or two. If it is a loss..."
Wei Xiang interrupted his father directly: "If you don't send troops this time, the sales channels of ginseng will be cut off."
With a chorus, the big knife on my father's waist was unsheathed, and the cold light shone: "Who dares to cut off the ginseng channel? I must chop him up and feed him to the guard dog!"
As it turns out, even the real father will choose to surrender under the financial offensive!
Wei Xiang smiled and said to his father: "Father, remember to select the three hundred most elite people!"
After explaining to his father, Wei Xiang found his brother-in-law Shi Xie without stopping.
Shi Xie saw Wei Xiang grabbing his arm directly and refused to let go: "Tell me, when will the second batch of ginseng be shipped?"
I don’t know if there is a problem in the world line or what the hell is going on. In short, the reputation of ginseng, the “OK medicine”, has spread among many families of nobles and officials in the Jin State of Jiangdu, and there are a large number of flatterers who have personally experienced the effects of the medicine.
Therefore, countless people flocked to Shi Xie, asking when the next batch of ginseng would be the annoying thing about Shi Xie. Thinking of the behavior of helping Wei Xiang bring goods that day, it was - regret, very regretful.
Wei Xiang couldn't help laughing when he heard this: "Why are no one looking for me these days?"
Shi Xie glared at Wei Xiang: "You are in the Zhao family's lower palace these days. Who can enter that place casually? Unlike my family, they all come to me under the banner of visiting friends... Okay, don't talk nonsense, just tell me when the next batch of ginseng will arrive!"
Wei Xiang's eyes rolled and he smiled and said, "I came to you for this reason. In this way, tell them that the sale will be on time in thirty days, and the location will be... Well, just in the Shifu."
Shi Xie was furious and shouted, "Why are you in Shi Mansion? You are so noisy and annoying."
Wei Xiang stretched out three fingers and shook it in front of Shi Xie, saying, "Think about the profit Shi Shi can make in the ginseng business."
With a bang, a wooden clog flew out of the door and landed accurately on Shi Xie's face.
The old voice of Shihui came from outside the door: "It's in Shifu, it's settled!"
Wei Xiang did not dare to be negligent and quickly stood up to salute his father-in-law.
The Scholars looked up and down at Wei Xiang and suddenly said, "You kid looks treacherous. Could it be that you are thinking about how to cheat people?"
"Ah?" Wei Xiang was shocked and thought to himself that my thoughts were so easy to see through, or was this father-in-law practicing the legendary face reading technique?
Wei Xiang laughed and said, "No, it's just to ensure the safety of ginseng, let's make a small calculation."
The Shihui nodded and said, "You brought Zhao in too, because you were afraid that my Shisu would not protect your ginseng, right? It's just a few tens of thousands of dollars. Do you have any misunderstandings about the power of me and Shisu?"
Wei Xiang turned his eyes and said, "Why not, my uncle and son-in-law make a bet?"
With a bang, Wei Xiang ate a thunderous thunder on his forehead.
The scholar laughed and scolded: "Go and bet, and you're going to spend money every day. Go back and do your business, otherwise I won't spare you!"
Wei Xiang covered his forehead and walked out of the Shi Mansion, thinking that this father-in-law still doesn't understand the power of money, so let us time travelers educate you "ancient people" carefully next time.
Sitting in the carriage home, Wei Xiang's mood began to improve again.
