Chapter 13 Yangcheng Zhang Family

After hesitating for a moment, Chen Sheng said with a bitter face: "Mr. Zhang, I appreciate your kindness, but the elderly at home are sick recently, so I can't travel far!" Chen Sheng suddenly remembered that he still had the important task of studying with the teacher. If he wasted his studies, the teacher might be unhappy. Compared with the teacher's unhappiness, earning Zhang Liang's little reward is really not worth it. Eight√1    Chinese website

"It's okay." Zhang Liang said: "My caravan will take half a month to leave, so there is enough time for you to prepare. You should think about it carefully." After that, Zhang Liang greeted Han Cheng and others and left.

Speaking to this point, Zhang Liang's meaning was already expressed clearly. Chen Sheng looked entangled and didn't understand what Zhang Liang liked him and kept him by his side. Chen Sheng did not have the awareness of a scholar dying for his confidant, but he just felt that Zhang Liang's behavior was quite artificial and suspicious.

After Zhang Liang and others left, Zhou Wen walked over from a distance and his attitude towards Chen Sheng became gentler. In front of Zhang Liang, he was not even qualified to listen, but Chen Sheng could sit aside and chat and laugh with Zhang Liang. With this, his attitude towards Chen Sheng was enough to change drastically.

"Brother Chen, what did this young master Zhang say to you?" Zhou Wen seemed a little careless, but in fact he was very careful about the relationship between Chen Sheng and Zhang Liang.

"Nothing." Chen Sheng shook his head and smiled: "Young Master Zhang seems to want to invite me to be his caravan's veterinarian."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Wen's face looked a little strange. He knew that Chen Sheng had a little understanding of medical skills, but he knew better that there were no talents in Zhang Liang's caravan. Even if there was a shortage of veterinarians, there would be servants going to do some searching. How could Zhang Liang take action personally to find such a young boy?

"That's it?" Zhou Wen asked in confusion.

"Of course this is the case." Chen Sheng was a little curious and asked, "Manager Zhou, what kind of business does this young master Zhang do?"

The Zhang family itself was a nobleman in the old land of South Korea. Later, the governor of Nanyang County, Han, rebelled against Han, defected to the Qin people, and was named Neishi. Neishiteng led his troops to destroy Han. In order to gain wealth, the old man of the Zhang family sold a lot of military information to his former boss Neishiteng. As a result, after destroying Han, the old man of the Zhang family also obtained a title and rewarded a lot of wealth and land in Chen County. From then on, Mr. Zhang became the largest wealthy person in Chen County Yangcheng.

Because the origin of this title is a bit disgraceful, the Zhang family avoids taboos themselves and outsiders dare not talk about it on their own. Therefore, Chen Sheng, a person from another world, knows even less about the situation of the Zhang family. It is only when he hears the lords mention it that Mr. Zhang is about age, and there are young men and ladies in the mansion, etc. Chen Sheng doesn't know much about Zhang Liang's deeds.

Seeing Chen Sheng asking about Zhang Liang, Zhou Wen's face suddenly became energetic. He pulled Chen Sheng down and scooped up a spoonful of herbal tea to drink it. Then he sighed and said, "This Zhang Liang, Mr. Zhang..."

It turned out that Zhang Liang was the nephew of Mr. Zhang, and he basically managed the Zhang family's business. In previous years, Zhang Liang would sell the harvested rice and wheat to the Hu people on the grassland, exchange the Hu people for cattle, sheep, horses and fur, and sell these livestock materials to the major Warring States countries at high prices, exchange salt and iron weapons from various countries, and then sell them to the grassland. The wealth earned as much as tens of thousands of gold every year. However, with the annexation of the Warring States by the Qin State, the Zhang family's business is now a bit unsustainable. Only some trade with the imperial military, and their income is much worse than before.

However, Zhang Liang's ability is not low. The commercial exhibition has changed from simply trafficking materials to other businesses. Opening inns and brothels in the prosperous places of the empire is no problem to make money every day. However, although the profits of selling goods are getting worse, Zhang Liang still insists on continuing to maintain it. Therefore, the sons of the Zhang family also made a lot of remarks about this, only Mr. Zhang still supports Zhang Liang.

After listening to Zhou Wen's introduction, Chen Sheng nodded slightly, knowing the reason why Zhang Liang insisted on the trafficking of goods. Zhang Liang was a stubborn person who firmly opposed the empire, and his actions must be based on anti-Qin. With such a caravan, he could quietly accumulate a large amount of supplies and prepare for restoration at any time.

Of course, Chen Sheng could only keep such a guess in his heart and could not tell Zhou Wen, but Chen Sheng became interested in Zhang Liang and wanted to know how Zhang Liang works. Chen Sheng knew very well that if he wanted to change his destiny, he had to completely change the fate direction of the people related to his destiny.

He suddenly wanted to try it out and change it, starting with Zhang Liang and Wu Guang he knew.

...

In the evening, Chen Sheng told Wei Liao about the recent trip to a long door. Chen Sheng did not expect that Wei Liao was not unhappy, but was very supportive. It would be better to walk a thousand miles than to read thousands of books. Wei Liao nodded and said. However, he reminded that even if he was away, he would not be able to relax his studies.

After chatting about the chores, Wei Liao began to examine Chen Sheng's studies again. Every morning, Chen Sheng had to follow Wei Liao to practice Qi. He didn't recognize the words in the classics, and Wei Liao could only teach him one by one, and he had to demonstrate on the side. Fortunately, Chen Sheng was talented. After Wei Liao demonstrated several times, he could master the skills and practice freely.

On the night, Wei Liao taught him to recite military tactics, and listed many battle examples since the Spring and Autumn Period, explaining in detail the meaning of military tactics.

The military tactics described by Wei Liao do not emphasize the quality of the general, the training of soldiers and the skills in war, just like "The Art of War". They explain war more from all aspects of the country's political and economic aspects. They point out incisively that fighting is a comprehensive national strength, rather than a simple battle of victory or defeat.

Wei Liao's military thought made Chen Sheng respectful. Because in his era, most people might not be able to understand what the word comprehensive national strength meant.

In addition to explaining his own military strategy, Wei Liao often said one or two famous quotes from "Sun Tzu" or "Wu Zi" about the works of the Great Sage of Military Arts and Sages. These works were rarely circulated in this era, and even if someone missed them, they were regarded as treasures and treasures. However, Chen Sheng often echoed a few words like "Soldiers are the gods, Fenglin and Volcanoes" from time to time, which made Wei Liao feel difficult to calm down. Wei Liao didn't know that in Chen Sheng's era, these thoughts had begun. Even a child aged six or seven could almost say a few words in his mouth, and books that interpret such ideas for various industries were even more prevalent. He thought that his students were a genius of military studies and had learned without a teacher.
