Three hundred and forty-six Datang needs war

Wei Zheng squinted his eyes and looked at Suning for a while, probably because he couldn't see anything, so he shook his head helplessly and said, "Mr. Su Hou, please say something directly. What are you going to do? I have no friendship with you, and even set obstacles to you everywhere. If you are dissatisfied with me, it is understandable. Are you going to settle accounts with me when you come here?"

Suning sat opposite Wei Zheng's case with a food box. He didn't care about anything. He sat cross-legged. Wei Zheng's eyes twitched and asked depressedly: "Master Su is too unlucky to take the master of me seriously, right?"

Suning laughed and said, "What's the point? Mr. Zheng, look, this is the new dish of Weixianju. These five things are all, and this good wine is extremely fragrant and not something that ordinary people can drink. I know that Mr. Zheng has always lived a simple life and has no talent in the family, so I will definitely not be able to eat these expensive dishes. In this case, a family has a lot of family resources, so I specially brought these good dishes to Mr. Zheng to try them out. I think Mr. Zheng would not refuse?"

Wei Zheng looked at Suning suspiciously, then shook his head: "Mr. Su Hou is kind to me, but it is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but it is difficult to go from extravagance to frugality. After living a hard life, I feel it is delicious. The simple rice, the pen, ink, paper and ink, really complement each other. These dishes are all in flavor and flavor, and it looks really a big move for me. However, if I set this precedent, I don't know if I can still eat simple rice and live a hard life. So, Mr. Su should invite me back!"

Old guy, I'm giving an order to expel guests...

No matter how depressed he is, no matter how unhappy he is, he is not happy, but he is not. This old guy has no character and is stubborn. He is definitely a feudal and die-hard paternalist, but his character is really admired by Suning. The Confucianism's skill in self-cultivation is light, but how many people can do it? Wei Zheng did it, so Suning admires him.

By the same token, no matter how much you admire, you must do things that should be done, and it is inconvenient for others. This old guy is convenient for you. The order to pass the guest to pass a group of people. Can you pass the second group of people like Suning? Suning immediately sat upright and said, "I heard a saying in Buddhism that wine and meat pass through the intestines, and the Buddha stays in his heart. It means that wine and meat are just things that pass through the intestines. They will not stay in the body and will still be excreted, but the Buddha has always been in the heart of monks and has never left.

Similarly, these foods are just passers-by, and will not stay in the body, nor will they have any impact on Mr. Zheng. What's more, if Mr. Zheng is really a person with firm beliefs and integrity, how can a mere meal of food move Mr. Zheng's heart? Unless Mr. Zheng was originally a person with weak will, and a mere meal of food would ruin Mr. Zheng's achievements in the practice of cultivation for decades. In this way, anyone can destroy Mr. Zheng's ethics with anything. What does Mr. Zheng think?"

Wei Zheng was stunned for a moment, and then laughed and said, "I have heard that Tang Jian said that Su Hou was a descendant of the pre-Qin Zongheng family. Now it seems that Su Qin and Zhang Yi are really talking about fighting against the seven kingdoms. It is a good technique. Well, although I have never heard of the so-called Buddhist saying "Wine and meat pass through the intestines, and the Buddha stays in his heart", Su Hou said it very reasonably. If he was sincere and firm, how could he ruin his virtue for decades because of a mere delicacy?

Since that's the case, I accepted the kindness of Su Hou. Not to mention anything else in Weixianju opened by Su Hou, it looks really delicious. No wonder others always rumored that Weixianju's food is so delicious and unforgettable. Just as it happened that this meal was free and not eaten without eating. Well, it looked wonderful. I don't know how it tasted. Hahaha, I'll try it, thank you for the hospitality of Su Hou."

Suning was so depressed. At first glance, this old guy was waiting for Suning to say that he could shirk all his responsibilities before going to eat. He shirked this favor completely, which became Suning's problem. He had no problem at all. Old guy, old fox, there was no honest person in the Tang Dynasty. He obviously wanted to eat a lot, but he wanted to bully us honest people!

Suning thought of this.

There is no way, if you ask for it, you can only do this...

"Well, delicious, delicious, oh, I'll eat so delicious in my lifetime, it's worthwhile to eat this kind of food every day, which really makes me envious. Well, this meat is so tender and juicy. Oh, it's incomparable. Su Hou, I'm still talking about your words, oh!" Wei Zheng ate while complaining about Suning, which made Suning really want to kill him. The old guy, taking advantage while not forgetting to shirk responsibility. Can this guy become a counselor for the ages? I guess he was sure that His Majesty Li Er would not kill him, so...

Suning complains about the old guy's slipperyness, but this guy has a good character and is not worried about him taking advantage of the situation. In fact, he has always treated himself so severely. Suning admires him quite a bit, because of his severity and seriousness, as long as he does not do wrong things, he doesn't have to worry about being framed by others. Wei Zheng's name is here, do you suspect that Wei Zheng and Suning are colluding? Hahaha, are you teasing me?

This is the effect you want!

Suning began to speak: "Mr. Zheng, how comfortable is eating? If you want to eat something else, I immediately asked someone to go to Weixianju to find someone to make it and deliver it now. Although Weixianju has opened three branches, it still cannot meet the needs of Chang'an. I also plan to open another branch. In addition, Weixianju has also launched a delivery service. No matter when and no matter how far it is, it can be delivered in the fastest time, which is very warm!"

Wei Zheng swallowed the last piece of meat in the stewed mutton, and burped it with no grace. He picked up the wine glass and drank the wine in it, breathing a sigh of relief: "Ah! The delicious food in the world! I taste such a delicacy in my lifetime. I will die without any resentment. Since that is the case, why should I have more? Everything must be moderate. Su Hou. If you have more things, you will naturally be able to kill Su Hou!"

Suning's expression remained unchanged, and she laughed in her heart. The old guy began to indirectly criticize him. There was something in his words. This was a secret warning that Weixianju had made enough money and no more, otherwise he would lose money if the moon was full and he would inevitably suffer backlash. This can be right or wrong. At least it is not right for Suning now. It is far from enough now, but it is enough to have four Weixianjus in Chang'an City, which radiates to the entire Chang'an City and is enough to provide those high-ranking officials who often ask for takeout.

However, outside Chang'an City, the reputation of Weixianju, which gradually became popular with the migrant population, was a huge invisible wealth. If it opened outside Chang'an City, it would be a big profit. The entire Tang Dynasty market was far from saturated, and there were many places left for Weixianju. Wei Zheng still did not see outside Chang'an City. He only thought it was a matter within Chang'an City.

But he at least began to warn himself. This means that Wei Zheng has already opened his mouth and accepted his kindness.

Suning smiled and said, "Mr. Zheng, we can't just look at home. What's the point of staying at home? Men, you have to go around and go around to make a name for yourself. What will happen if you stay in Chang'an City? Sooner or later, we have to go outside, right?"

Wei Zheng frowned, put down his chopsticks, and said, "Mr. Su, I cannot interfere in the matter between you and Your Majesty, and Your Majesty will not allow me to interfere. The other dukes will not allow me to interfere. I wanted to interfere before, but I have been warned. Your move is really powerful, and it has directly won over the royal family and several major dukes. No one dares to touch Weixianju. At least, no one has yet.

But, Mr. Su, you are still young and have become a marquis of the country at the age of fifteen. What else do you want to do in the future? Your road is still long and long, why bother to stay for a while? Your movements are very big and your steps are also very big. These days, I have obviously felt that Your Majesty is a little impatient and aggressive. If this continues, it will not be a blessing for the country. It will last for more than ten years in the early Tang Dynasty. It is not until then that time. Mr. Su, you, have made the Tang Dynasty's unfilled body even weaker."

Suning smiled and said, "Mr. Zheng is worried too much. It is not good to be impatient and aggressive, but sticking to the rules and regulations is the greatest enemy of life and death of the country. Once we all limit our vision to the Tang Dynasty and even Chang'an City, then we will be finished. If we lose the will to enter, the country will be finished."

Wei Zheng said seriously: "So, what Mr. Su did was to make the Tang Dynasty always be full of enterprising will, and always be in a state of war. He always had to fight with other countries? Didn't Mr. Su hear that even though the country was very wary, he would perish? Some of the statements of his ancestors were correct, and he should continue to persevere!"

Suning retorted without hesitation: "That's because our ancestors never knew how to obtain a lot of benefits from war! The victorious country should enjoy everything from the defeated country, the masses, land, and wealth of the defeated country are ours! Even if we cannot destroy them, everything from them is ours! We can control everything from them by signing treaties and garrisoning the army and take over everything from them!

Compared with all the wealth of the other party's entire country, what are our wars? What are the losses? If we lose a warrior, we can get ten or even one hundred prisoners to do things for the people of the Tang Dynasty. The feat of our Tang Dynasty abolishing corvee forever can be accomplished! Zheng Gong, don't you want to see this day?!

Although the country is big, war is always perished. That is because our ancestors follow etiquette and the most basic moral norms in fighting. This is the noble quality of our ancestors and the Spring and Autumn quality. However, now, the Spring and Autumn quality is no longer applicable to wars between countries. At that time, it was a civil war in China, not a national war! Now, the Tang Dynasty does not need civil wars, the Tang Dynasty needs to open up wars outside, and the Tang Dynasty's enemies are all foreign races, not our Chinese race!

Duke Xiang of Song would rather be defeated than take advantage of others' danger. That was the noble ethics among the nobles in the Spring and Autumn Period, and the minimum bottom line for dealing with people and things. Duke Xiang of Song was an excellent nobleman. He could afford the word "noble". Everything in that era was what we need to learn today, but it was limited to treating ourselves, not foreign tribes! Treating foreign tribes must follow the basic principle of maximizing interests. They will not be grateful for our kindness. If they should be betray them, they will definitely betray them. Instead of ending rebellion at that time, it is better to make them lose the possibility of betrayal once and for all!

Someone also knew that killing was not good, so they were also very opposed to killing prisoners, which led to the labor reform policy that is now well received. Duke Zheng also knew that the Tang Dynasty had a good influence on this. Many Daozhou and counties were asking the court to popularize the labor reform policy to their jurisdiction, and they would fight for it. This is what the people want. The interests of court officials and the people reached an agreement, and this matter could never be changed!
