Chapter 781: Combined vertical and horizontal seven
"Master, Shuocheng is here."
Butler Wang's voice came from outside.
Wang Congben lifted the curtain of the car, poked his head out, and looked at it. Not far away, a mighty city came into view. On the straight official road, caravans came and went. Among them, they could occasionally see caravans composed of Han people. They traveled thousands of miles to trade here with more or less goods.
There are vast grasslands around the city, and there are tent groups of large or small sizes. They are the garrisons of tribes. If you look far away, you will find that there are huge numbers of cattle, sheep and horses. These cattle, sheep and horses are just daily food for the Hu people, but for some other countries, they are necessary production tools for a family. For example, the merchants of the Jin Dynasty, the ones they like and buy the most are cattle that can be used as farming land and horses that can form transportation. Of course, the Hu people have strict control over the Hu people, which is difficult for outsiders to buy, or it is difficult for them to buy in large quantities. Especially for the Jin Dynasty, war horses are prohibited items, and no matter how much money they cost, the Han people would not buy them. Of course, the Jin Dynasty was the same for the Liao Kingdom. Important materials used in war were also strictly prohibited.
After observing the surroundings for a while, Wang Congben put down the curtain and sat back.
"Father, what kind of person is King Tu Meng of Qi?"
son Wang Dan asked softly.
Wang Congben touched Wang Dan's head and asked with a smile: "Shan'er, what do you think?"
Wang Dan frowned, thought for a while, and finally raised his head to look at his father Wang Congben, and said in a very mature manner: "Tumeng, King Qi, is not simple."
Wang Congben jumped and asked calmly: "Where isn't it simple?"
Wang Dan whispered: "Along the way, there have been many children who have seen it. I found that although the land is vast and sparse, the people can settle down and work. The Han people were not bullied or insulted by the Hu people. Instead, everyone has land to grow. The taxes are much lower than those of our Great Jin Dynasty, and the daily necessities are also very low. Rice is almost equivalent to meat, which is almost unimaginable in our Great Jin Dynasty."
Wang Congben smiled softly. His son was young and young, and he didn't understand many things. Every place has its own environment and cannot be compared with others.
Wang Dan continued: "The Han people here get along very well with the Hu people. I heard from the Hu centurion that the Hu people can carry weapons into the city with them, but in the city, once the weapons are drawn, they will be convicted of attempted crimes regardless of their purpose. From this point, it can be seen that the system and order of the King of Qi Tu Mengfeng in the country are becoming more and more perfect, and they are implemented very strictly and firmly. As long as there is a perfect system and order, it will gradually grow and flourish with the development of time."
Wang Congben looked at his son with admiration in his eyes. He was less than ten years old and could see so many things, which was extremely valuable.
“Is there any more?”
Wang Congben asked with a smile.
"My child's opinion."
Wang Dan hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "Qi King Tu Meng has an army of hundreds of thousands, and his military power is far superior to that of the Liao court. He himself has a very high prestige in the Momeng grassland. At the same time, he is supported by many Hu tribes. It is not difficult for him, or even very simple. However, Tu Meng did not do this. Instead, he was very obedient and humble to the Liao emperor. His status and power are so prominent, but he is very low-key in his daily life and rarely interferes in the internal affairs of the Liao court."
Wang Congben looked at his son in surprise: "Are these things told you by those Hu people?"
Wang Dan nodded and said, "Sometimes the child would take the initiative to chat with them and ask about Tumon, but they didn't know much. The words just now were made by the child to integrate some information and then speculate on his own."
Wang Congben looked at his son, and the admiration in his eyes became even stronger.
"Shan'er, what do you think the purpose of King Tu Meng of Qi doing this?"
Wang Dan glanced at his father, pondered for a moment, and then said softly: "Now that when he arrived at Shuocheng, the child found that King Tu Meng of Qi arranged most of his tribes and troops all around Shuocheng. This place was like a melting pot that concentrated all his resources and troops. Once it broke out, it would be a destruction of the world. Tu Meng had such a huge power. Since he was not interested in the battle between the throne and power of the Liao Kingdom, his goal might be... from Shuocheng to Anbei, the journey may be a bit far, but it only takes three days to penetrate directly into Huizhou..."
Although Wang Dan did not say it clearly, his meaning was already very obvious. Tu Meng concentrated all his resources and troops to Shuocheng. Since the goal was not in the Liao Kingdom, it must be external. To be clear, Tu Meng obviously had the ambition and ambition to go south to destroy the Jin Dynasty.
Wang Congben looked at his son with shock. Wang Dan is less than ten years old this year. Most of the children are just starting to study at his age, but his son can think of so much and see so far.
When his father stared at him, Wang Dan suddenly felt a bumpy look on his face and said timidly: "Father, did the child say the wrong thing?"
"Dan'er, you said it well, and you are very pleased with your father."
Wang Congben looked relieved, hugged his son tightly, and then burst into laughter with extraordinary joy.
Tu Meng wore a casual clothes and was practicing calligraphy in the study. He did not just write one kind of words, but first wrote the Hu people's words, and then wrote the Han people's words with the same meaning below. This is Tu Meng's style. Although he vigorously promoted and imitated the Han people's system within his fiefdom, he did not give up the Hu people's old culture, but still respected it.
"Prince, I have something to report."
"Come in."
The door was pushed open, and a Han man in his early thirties walked in and put a prayer letter on Tu Meng's table.
"Prince, Amire brought a Han man to see His Highness."
Tu Meng said without raising her head, "You will go to see me on behalf of me. If you are talented, stay. If you are useless, give him some money to send him away."
Liu Shangzhi did not leave and was still standing there, which attracted Tu Meng's attention. He couldn't help but look up and ask, "What else?"
Liu Shangzhi bowed and said with a serious and serious look on his face: "The person who came is named Wang Congben, who is the left minister of the Ministry of Justice of Jin State and the confidant of the current emperor of Jin State. It is said that this person is extremely talented and strategic."
Tu Meng was slightly stunned: "He is here on behalf of Jin?"
"personal."
It represents an individual, that is not an envoy to go abroad, but a fleeing here.
Tu Meng put down the pen in his hand and said in a low voice: "Take him to the small study, I will arrive soon."
"Yes, Your Highness."
