The female emperor fights, captures Yang Yuhuan at the beginning

Especially the story of Jinlian, Yinlian and Xiaofeigu is particularly fascinating.

It's really wonderful, unparalleled, full of details, just like experiencing it personally.

After finding a good place like Cuiwei Tower by chance, Qin Lang decided to come and join him if he had nothing to do in the future. Then he would bring Yuhuan and Long'er together to enjoy the fireworks.

Before leaving, Qin Lang took a special look at the storyteller. His beard and hair were all white, and his face was plain.

At this time, Mr. Storyteller is sorting out simple props, a white folding fan with the words "immortal guiding the way", a piece of wakewood, a gray towel, and a big red tablecloth.

Standing next to him was a young girl. Although she was dressed plainly, she looked very cute. Her chubby little face was slightly flushed, her figure was small, and she was curvaceous. Just one glance left a deep impression on her.

At this time, the girl was counting the rewards in the copper plate, counting each tip carefully, probably because today's income exceeded expectations, a smile appeared on the girl's face naturally.

Red lips and white teeth, plus dimples on both sides of the mouth, extremely cute.

"Grandpa, I have an extra thirty dollars today, so I can buy half a catty of good wine at night. I have to set up a stall at the night market in such a cold day. Drink more to warm up."

The storyteller had just put away his things, glanced at the extra copper coins in the copper plate, and touched the girl's ball head with a smile: "I'll make you a red padded jacket if you have more. Save it as a dowry."

The girl was a little unhappy when she heard the words, she pouted and tugged at the corner of her thin clothes and said, "I tell stories in the teahouse every day, it's not cold at all, I don't want new clothes, I'll buy wine for grandpa."

Looking at the well-behaved granddaughter in front of him, the old man was at a loss for words, then turned around and pretended to pack his things, but in fact he was wiping the tears that inadvertently appeared in the corners of his eyes.

"Okay, listen to Xiaohuan, go out to the stall at night, grandpa will try to do more calculations, and earn back the money for the wine."

"Okay, shopkeeper, half a catty of good wine, half a catty of pork head meat, and a bowl of broad beans, take it away."

The girl named Xiaohuan jumped up and down to the counter happily, divided the [-] Wen coins in her hand into two piles and put them on the table.

"Shopkeeper, the fifty cash is rent, is the thirty cash enough?"

Seeing the girl's big twinkling eyes, and having Qin Lang as a distinguished guest beside her, the shopkeeper naturally wouldn't lose her character at this time.

First, he accepted the rent for today's storyteller, and then took out twenty coins from another pile of copper coins, and said in a big way: "Today, I have a distinguished guest, and I will charge you half a catty of good wine. You will be free of food, and I will give you a few extra coins." Big meat bun."

The girl immediately refused when she heard the words, and the old man who had cleaned up behind him immediately put away the ten copper coins, and bowed his hands to the shopkeeper to thank him.

After receiving the food and drink handed over by Xiaoer, the old man wandered out of the teahouse with his inexperienced granddaughter.

It wasn't until he was far away from Cuiwei Building that the old man taught him a lesson: "Ten qian is not money? Wouldn't it be good to buy you candied haws and hair flowers? Why give them back."

"But..."

Just as Xiaohuan was about to explain, the old man slapped Xiaohuan on the buttocks, and continued to teach: "If it wasn't for that distinguished guest just now watching by, let alone ten cents, I wouldn't even give you one cent. Believe it or not ?”

"Huh? Why?"

The old man sighed and shook his head. He really had no choice but to change the subject and take Xiaohuan to buy the candied haws that she had been craving for a long time.

Qin Lang, who was standing at the counter, watched the two leave, and asked the shopkeeper who had been waiting beside him: "The shopkeeper really knows how to do business. Just now, this gentleman is here to tell stories every day?"

The shopkeeper waved his hand modestly: "Young master, it's just a small business. It's all about the world, and it doesn't hurt to do it occasionally. The grandpa and grandson have just been here for half a decade, and their skills are not bad. Don't be fooled by the old man's appearance, sir. The old man is a fine person, he talks about wild things in the world with me in the afternoon, and sets up a fortune-telling stall in the night market at night, so he has a dark heart."

The shopkeeper glanced out of the store, then leaned closer to Qin Lang's ear and continued in a low voice: "This old man claims to be Zhou Yixian, he can pinch and count, and he is looking for the rich wife and lady, don't think he can't make a lot of money by telling books. , the big head is at night, and I catch a fat sheep for half a year. The key is that there are many rich people in Fengyu City, and many people are deceived. The son is an outsider, so you have to be careful, don't be fooled by the cute girl next to you. .”

Qin Lang laughed, cupped his fists and said goodbye, and walked towards Fengyun Tower not far away.

Regarding the shopkeeper's reminder, Qin Lang was noncommittal. They were just charlatans. There were many of them in ancient times, and these people dared to play tricks among the people.

Soon Qin Lang came to the door of Fengyun Building, Xiao Er looked at the wooden sign and immediately led Qin Lang respectfully to Qingyun Private Room on the third floor.

The Fengyun Building is grand enough from the outside, but it is even more luxurious inside. Except for a circle of seats near the wall, the lobby on the first floor is extremely empty.

Opposite the main entrance is a semi-circular third-tiered stage, and behind the stage is a chessboard wider than Wutai.

The top of the entire chessboard is flush with the railings on the second floor, the latitude and longitude are vertical and horizontal, and the black and white chess pieces on the chessboard can be seen at a glance on the first, second and third floors.

The second floor is scattered seats, and a small square table can accommodate up to four people sitting on their knees.

The third floor is the private room, the door can be fully opened, and the bead curtain can only block the sight of the inside and outside, but it does not affect the high-spirited talk on the first floor.

The fourth floor is the floor for guests to entertain guests. The layout is luxurious, and there are special beautiful maids serving at the side. The tonality is extremely high, and it can meet the needs of honoring guests.

The fifth floor is a close room for drinking tea and chatting. The sound insulation is very good, and it is specially used for businessmen to discuss business.

It is rumored that there are four top-level suites on the sixth floor. Even if they have money, ordinary people can't go up to them. Without the invitation of the host Mrs. Bai, unless they can beat the eight masters guarding the stairs, they don't even have to think about it.

Along the way, Xiao Er described the layout and rules of Fengyun Building, and specially reminded Qin Lang not to go to the sixth floor without authorization, let alone rushing in.

It is said that Fengyun Building has been in operation for almost a year, and there are not many people who do not believe in evil, but no one has successfully gone up to the sixth floor. light.

Qin Lang's spending was quite generous, an ingot of ten taels of gold was enough to occupy the best private room and enjoy the best food and drinks, and he also gave a small ingot of five taels of silver as a tip.

For such a grand guest, Xiao Er will naturally reveal some secrets that are not secrets. For example, as long as you win the leader of the monthly talk tonight, you will have a chance to be invited by the host to go to the sixth floor for a talk.

Moreover, many nobles and important figures came to observe today, so Qin Lang should pay attention to his words and deeds, so as not to offend those people.

Thanks to Xiaoer for the reminder, after drinking tea and going to the toilet, my stomach was empty, and it was time for dinner. When the guys finished serving the food, Qin Lang closed the door and Dian Wei Yuhuatian and the three of them ate wildly.

The three of them ate three sets of banquets, Qin Lang felt sleepy after drinking and eating, Dian Wei was a little bit unsatisfied, Yu Huatian changed from the wolf-hunting just now, and stood at the door with a hint of enchantment in his indifferent expression, and licked the corner of his mouth with his tongue Then he stood like a green pine and began to close his eyes to rest his mind.

At this moment, a gong sounded from downstairs, and the noisy and chaotic restaurant immediately became quiet, and the good show began.

Chapter 067 Strategies to Discuss the World

Hearing the sound of the gong, Qin Lang lazily got up with a toothpick in his mouth, walked to the protruding viewing platform and looked down.

There were dense crowds of people, the entire first floor was full of human heads at a glance, and the fence on the second floor was also crowded with people.

It's really lively, let's listen to it.

"Today is the monthly talk. The landlord Mrs. Bai set up a reward of [-] gold. In the end, the winner can have a story with the landlord. The topic of the monthly discussion is: How Qinzhou seeks the world."

The owner of the restaurant stopped talking when he finished the question, but walked to the edge of the stage, folded his hands on his abdomen, and waited quietly for the first scholar to come on stage to express his views.

Everyone present felt excited when they heard this topic. The previous topics were all related to academics, but this time they directly discussed politics, and it was a grand topic like seeking the world.

A stone stirred up a thousand waves, and twos and threes began to mutter to each other. Some people rested their chins in thought, and some drank a light drink and applauded.

Inside the bead curtain, Qin Lang, who was sitting on the soft couch, smiled. The hostess, a woman from the host, has such a far-sighted vision. Is she picking talents and trying to poach Qinzhou's corner?

I have worked so hard to set up the Academy and the Office of the Staff for the purpose of discovering and cultivating talents. The Mrs. Bai in Fengyun Tower is really calculating, and wants to reap the benefits of the fisherman?

Have you asked me, the master of Qinzhou?

"Huatian, from tomorrow onwards, people from the academy and the staff office will be under strict surveillance. I want to see how this woman bought the talents I cultivated."

"Subordinates obey!"

Seeing through Fengyun Tower's trick of picking peaches, Qin Lang's cold face quickly returned to a leisurely state. At this time, he can't be fooled. As long as he is in Qinzhou, Mrs. Bai will not be able to make trouble.

Qin Lang wasn't worried about talents being poached away. Those who could be poached were of no use if they stayed. Qin Lang didn't like this kind of stuff, let alone hire them.

Now he wants to see how the level of so many scholars on the first and second floors is, and how Qinzhou can seek the world, which is really exciting.

After about half a stick of incense, a handsome scholar in brocade robes and long gowns suddenly walked up from the crowd, holding a folding fan with an extraordinary demeanor.

Seeing someone come on stage, the whole restaurant fell silent, and everyone looked at the majestic young Jun Yan on the stage.

The scholar clasped his fists and smiled and reported his family: "My lord, Yuan Qiao, was originally from Chen County. Qiao thought it was too early for Qinzhou to seek the world. Although Qinzhou monopolizes 24 cities in Qin and Zezhou, it seems to be stronger than other forces, but it is not. Think about it, everyone, is it easier to govern a county, or is it easier to govern a county? The 36 states in the world are all waiting for prosperity. The wider the area, the more cities it belongs to, which hinders development. I think... "

After listening to Yuan Qiao's point of view, Qin Lang didn't feel admiration. Yuan Qiao understood what the current problems of Qinzhou and Zezhou were.

It's a pity that Yuan Qiao only knew the disadvantages of blindly denying the vast territory, but failed to see the potential in it, which seemed a bit short-sighted.

Such talents can govern a county or a county. If they want to govern a state, their current ability and vision are still a bit short.

As soon as Yuan Qiao finished explaining his point of view, another person walked onto the stage. Qin Lang saw that this person seemed to be from a clan, suave and suave, with well-behaved manners and good senses.

"In Liu Muzhi, Xiaju County, someone thought Yuan Qiao's words were wrong, but he didn't know that the land is vast, the food is abundant, and the food is abundant. It's the time for Qinzhou to seek the world. I have three opinions. After listening to it, everyone can make their own judgments."

"In terms of the grain reserves in Qin and Ze prefectures, this year, the spring drought in April, the blessings from the sky, and the rain moistened the earth, so the autumn harvest was brilliant, and the grain alone produced [-]% more. In addition, corn, sweet potatoes In just one year, the hungry and cold Qinzhou people lived a life of adequate food and clothing. A certain person went to five or six granaries, all of which were full, and every family had more than a year's worth of food. Qinzhou has the foundation to compete with the world."

"Secondly, in terms of sufficient supplies, everyone is living and studying in Fengyu City. Has there ever been a shortage of supplies? Is there anything on Suzaku Street that you can't buy? Just the scale of the craftsman's workshop, the non-stop forging and smelting all day long, then Has the green smoke from hundreds of furnaces ever been cut off? Someone thought that Qinzhou had sufficient supplies and armaments, and could form a well-equipped army in a short period of time, which would have the strength to compete for world hegemony."

"Thirdly, the government treasury is full. I only arrived in Fengyu City in May. It is now the twelfth lunar month. I have witnessed the prosperity of the Fengyu cities from dilapidated cities to today. If the treasury is not full, how can there be so many construction sites? Thousands of construction sites How do Wan's craftsmen pay their wages? So far, I have never heard of any delay in wages. In the past two months, I traveled all over the twelve cities of Qinzhou, and there were all such earth-shattering changes. It is conceivable that the government treasury is full. What is the fight? The fight is economics and logistics."

"To sum up, a certain person thinks that Qinzhou will make big moves at the beginning of the new year, so why seek the world? Of course, seek the world with its strong economic strength."

Qin Lang nodded after listening to Liu Muzhi's remarks. This person is very useful. He sees things in detail and has Xun Yu's style.

This logistical statement also won the approval of many people at the scene. The development of Qinzhou and Zezhou is obvious to all. There have been earth-shaking changes in just one year, which is beyond anyone's imagination.

Among them were many scholars from other prefectures. They deeply felt the prosperity of Qinzhou, and they couldn't refute Liu Muzhi's three arguments.

While everyone was discussing, another person came to the stage.

"Wandering Ziyuan in Xia Dali County, I think the strategy proposed by brother Mu is not suitable for the current Qinzhou. I also have three points for you to judge."

"Qin monopolizes 24 cities. The vastness of the territory, the prosperity of the population, and the rapid development are indeed advantages that other forces cannot match. You can think about it. The wind does not adjust and the rain does not go well, and the supply of military supplies, food, grass, and logistics is not enough. It is a foregone conclusion that our army will move out. When the time comes, it will be difficult to ride a tiger, causing the surrounding enemies to fight together. Qinzhou and Zezhou have such a wide border, who dares to guarantee safety Safe?"

"Therefore, I think that next year is not suitable for large-scale use of weapons and weapons. We should continue to hoard food and grass, develop military affairs, sit back and watch the situation change, and wait for the opportunity to move."

"First, deepen farming, teach farming and mulberry, and develop handicrafts, commerce, and armaments."

"Secondly, train elite soldiers and formations hard, stand firm and wait for defense, and accumulate strength."

"Third, divide Pingzhou, Jingzhou, Lanzhou, Liangzhou, and Liangzhou, and isolate Xianyang City and Zezhou City."

"Develop steadily for two years. When the real country is rich and the people are strong, one strike will kill, attack will win, and not attack will be enough to deter others."

As soon as You Ziyuan's strategy was finished, there was a heated discussion on the scene. Liu Muzhi advocated an offensive, while You Ziyuan advocated a split. The people in the restaurant were immediately divided into the main fighters and the conservatives.

Some people think that the overall situation of other forces is not as good as that of Qinzhou. Qinzhou has an advantage, so it should take the initiative to fight for a larger territory and a larger population.

Some think that there are enough 24 cities in Qinzhou and Zezhou, and they are currently in the upper hand. They should not destroy the general situation that has just improved because of unsure wars. The enemy, paralyzing and destroying them and twisting into one rope to fight against Qinzhou is the best strategy.

Qin Lang maintained an attitude of neither supporting nor opposing these two strategies, regardless of whether they were suitable for Qinzhou's current situation, their strategies were not wrong, and they hit the point.

Qin Lang found this kind of public opinion and policy discussion very interesting, and it was indeed a quick way to discover talents.

With this feeling, Qin Lang became even more interested in this Mrs. Bai. If a woman can come up with such a way, she has a lot of political sense.

Just as the main fighters were arguing fiercely with the sticky splitting faction, a beautiful figure walked onto the stage.

Qin Lang looked curiously, and the corners of his mouth curled up unconsciously.

Women dressed as men?

Chapter 068 Ten Questions Ten Strategies

"In Xiabeiliang, Chen Weixiong, I think the previous two strategies did not involve the root of Qinzhou. Although there is nothing wrong, it is not a good strategy."

As soon as Chen Weixiong, who was disguised as a man, said this, the restaurant suddenly boiled.

Some people began to sarcastically say: "No war, no development, is there a third option? Stop talking nonsense and go on."

"Where did the ignorant child come from? If there is no war, how can Qinzhou strive for hegemony?"

"That is, although a certain person does not support immediate war, he still has the heart to fight for hegemony, but the time has not yet come."

"If you don't develop agriculture, industry and commerce, what do you use to fight?"

"Sissy, do you understand politics?"

Hearing the sarcasm and boos at the scene, Qin Lang quickly grabbed a handful of melon seeds, put one hand on the railing, and looked lively while knocking on the melon seeds.

Chen Weixiong ignored the booing and yelling for her to step down from the stage at all, but walked to the big drum next to him, and beat the Qinzhou army drum thump-thump-thump.

I saw him majestic, with his feet as stable as Mount Tai, waving his arms wide open and closing, vigorous and powerful, loud drums, passionate and passionate, instantly suppressing the noise of the scene, so that everyone was a little crazy watching.

Not to mention beating the military drum, half of the scholars present could not beat the drums so sonorously and forcefully continuously, let alone the extremely rhythmic and majestic military drums.

Qin Lang was shocked by what he heard. This kind of power is not something ordinary people can achieve. The army drum in the army is the main way for the commander to issue orders. It must be someone with extraordinary strength. A weak woman can finish a set The marching drum is indeed a bit breathtaking.

After a long while, the deafening drumming finally stopped, and many people started scratching their ears. Chen Weixiong turned around neatly like a normal person, clapped his hands, and looked around.

The voice said heartily: "My strategy is the way of hegemony."

"I traveled from Beiliang to Qinzhou. What I saw and heard along the way was no less than those present here. Moreover, I traveled around 36 states, and Qinzhou was the last stop. I can see the general trend of the world. According to the conditions of each state, I I thought that Qinzhou must be domineering."

"I have ten questions and ten answers, everyone will listen to it before making a judgment."

"One question, is the land of Qinzhou and Zezhou among the 36 states in the world, is it big?"

"Second question, is there enough food in Qinzhou?"

"Third question, is Qinzhou's military equipment advanced?"

"Four questions, is Qinzhou's business developed?"

"Five questions, is Qinzhou's army sufficient?"

"Six questions, is Qinzhou's civil society stable?"
