Chapter 182 Waiting for him to take the bait [6000,
At least you have to lean on the rocking chair and rock it."
After cheering himself up, Ning Chen lay down directly on the bed and prepared to sleep.
"It's getting late, Zheng Dadian. Stop shouting and hahaha outside. I can improve faster than you even when I'm lying down, so why are you practicing so hard!"
Ning Chen shouted to Zheng outside the window, who was still preparing to break through to the eighth level.
After hearing Ning Chen's words, Zheng Da roared even louder.
With Zheng Da's shouting, Ning Chen fell asleep with satisfaction.
Early the next morning, Ning Chen got up on time.
Xia Zhu and the others got up earlier than Ning Chen and had already prepared everything.
After breakfast, Master Ning went to court in his official uniform.
Outside the Meridian Gate, no one was willing to say hello to Ning Chen.
Only Wu Ang walked up to Ning Chen without any inhibitions.
"Brother Ning, my people in the north told me that Marquis Dingguo went to the north yesterday and went straight to the Zhu family.
I don’t know what happened after Marquis Dingguo entered the Zhu family.
But after Marquis Dingguo left, the Zhu family took over the Baijia brand.
It seems there is no need for me to help Mr. Ning deal with it."
Ning Chen was a little surprised after hearing Wu Ang's words.
Ning Chen never expected that Marquis Dingguo would help him.
"Brother Ning, you are now the leader of a hundred schools, and you have opened a farm road again.
It’s not surprising at all that Marquis Dingguo is helping you.
Even if I, Uncle Jing, stand up for you, it won't be a surprise.
As long as you don't want to be the emperor, Brother Ning, I, Prince Jing, will definitely be on your side.
What's more, if you take a step back 10,000 steps, even if you don't have Uncle Jing and Marquis Dingguo.
Master Kong will definitely protect you. Even though Master Kong is at the fourth level, he is still one of the few masters in the world.
What's more, Confucianism and Taoism are all about accumulation and development."
Ning Chen didn't expect that opening a farm road would have so many side benefits.
This was something Ning Chen didn't expect.
Of course, Ning Chen still accepted the favor of Marquis Dingguo.
Although they haven't met each other yet, Ning Chen already owes Marquis Dingguo two favors.
The first one is naturally that Marquis Dingguo is willing to allow Legalism to join the Hundred Schools, and the second one is this.
Although Ning Chen is not necessarily afraid of the Zhu family, it is still good to have less trouble.
"Brother Ning, I will return to the north after the court today. Do you have any poems for me?" Wu Ang looked at Ning Chen expectantly.
"You don't need those kind of poems that determine the path, just reach the level of a saint."
Ning Chen glanced at Wu Ang who looked expectant and said, "I have a poem here, but are you sure you want to listen to it? I'm afraid that after you listen to it, you may not be able to leave Fengjing."
Wu Ang said confidently: "I am the prince and I want to go back to guard the border.
It’s not a big mistake, even my imperial sister wouldn’t dare to force me to stay in Fengjing.”
Ning Chen smiled and said to Wu Ang: "Come here and I will tell you. If you are sure you want it, I will give it to you when you leave."
Wu Ang didn't take it seriously and put his ear directly towards it.
"My poem goes like this. When autumn comes on September 8th, all the flowers will bloom. The incense will soar to the sky and penetrate Fengjing, and the whole city will be filled with golden armor."
After Wu Ang heard this quatrain, he was so frightened that he almost knelt on the ground.
Such a poem is indeed domineering and heroic enough.
But if this was really given to me on the spot, then I really wouldn't be able to leave Fengjing.
Not to mention Wu Zhao, not even his own father could let him leave Fengjing.
This is a perfect anti-poem.
"Brother Ning, excuse me, I have never asked you for poetry!"
Wu Ang said this and planned to leave directly.
Ning Chen hummed and thought to himself: I don't even have to pay a tael of silver, so I just want to give you a poem for nothing. It's a beautiful thought, and I'll see if I don't scare you to death.
After walking only two steps, Wu Ang came back and said to Ning Chen: "By the way, Brother Ning, I plan to give you 10% of all my business in the four northern states. Brother Ning, if you think it's okay,
If so, we can just sign it after the court is over."
"Why are you so nice to me all of a sudden? Tell me about your additional conditions." Ning Chen asked Wu Ang.
Wu Ang smiled and said, "I knew I couldn't hide it from Brother Ning. That's what I thought, Brother Ning.
This business is my investment in your future, Brother Ning.
From now on, if you have any business with Ning Chen, I will own a quarter of the shares."
I have to say that Wu Ang has really good vision.
Directly invest in Ning Chen.
"Then what if I don't have any good business in the future?" Ning Chen asked Wu Ang.
"It doesn't matter if you don't have it. As far as this winery business is concerned, I'm not at a loss.
What's more, Brother Ning, you are the head of a hundred schools, and your future is boundless.
If you use 10% of your business to curry favor with Brother Ning, I won't lose money no matter what."
There is no reason for Ning Chen not to want the money he got, not to mention that Ning Chen really doesn't hate Wu Ang.
"Okay, I will accept the shares, and I agree to the conditions." Ning Chen simply agreed to Wu Ang's request.
After hearing Ning Chen's words, Wu Ang left with satisfaction.
There is not much to say about today's morning court, it is mainly about practice for the three princes and six feudal princes.
The three princes and the vassal prince are guarding the northern border for the country, and they are leaving Fengjing today. All the necessary rituals are indispensable.
After the dispersion of the dynasty, all civil and military officials followed Wu Zhao to the Guanghua Gate of Fengjing City.
This is the city gate to the north of Tokyo. The three princes and six feudal princes will also leave from Guanghua Gate and return to the four northern states.
This time, no matter whether it was the three princes or the six vassal princes who entered the capital, they did not get any benefits.
To force the palace, Ning Chen directly made a favor order.
To open up the Holy Way, Ning Chen helped Wu Zhao directly create a Jiuding.
Instead of being unstable, Wu Zhao's position has become increasingly stable.
They really came in high spirits and went back dejected.
The only one who is not disappointed is probably Wu Ang.
But the eldest prince and the third prince really don't like Wu Ang's tricks.
"Seventh Prince, I have a poem here specially for you. You should practice it for the prince!"
When Wu Ang heard Ning Chen's words, he tightened the reins directly.
Are you really reluctant to leave on your own, and are you planning to put your own skeleton at home and play with it after you die?
Wu Ang had thought about it. As long as Ning Chen said a word that he had just heard, he would tighten the reins and kick the horse's ass.
"I would like to hear Ning Yuan's first masterpiece." Wu Ang said while trying to keep his expression calm.
Ning Chen pretended to be thoughtful and glanced at the sky, and found that although it was sunny today, there was still a lot of loess rolled up outside the city because of the strong wind.
It makes the sun in the sky look a little white.
This is more suitable for the poem I prepared before.
After Ning Chen pondered for a moment, he said to Wu Ang: "Seventh Prince, sit tight and listen carefully."
Although Wu Ang nodded superficially, he pulled the reins tighter.
If something goes wrong, run away immediately without stopping to look back.
Ning Chen did not look at Wu Ang again, but said loudly:
“Thousands of miles of yellow clouds and white sun, and the north wind blows the geese and snow.
Don’t worry, there will be no friends in the future. Who in the world doesn’t know you?”
When Wu Ang heard the first word was "qian", he felt relieved.
After listening to the first pure description of the scenery, Wu Ang felt that the poem given to him by Ning Chen was a little too dry.
But after hearing the last two sentences, Wu Ang almost jumped from his horse.
Wonderful!
Famous saying through the ages!
An eternal quatrain!
"Just these two sentences are enough for me, Wu Ang, to leave my name in history."
"This poem alone is worth 10% of the shares!"
Wu Ang felt that the money he spent was well worth it.
To Wu Ang, money is just a number now.
Being able to leave a name through the ages is more important than money.
Ning Chen also winked at Wu Ang and told Wu Ang very clearly.
Your naming fee is not for nothing.
Not only did Wu Ang think it was wonderful, everyone present, whether educated or not, felt that as soon as Ning Chen's poem came out, Wu Ang's trip would have been in vain.
The faces of the eldest prince and the third prince looked even more ugly at this moment.
Everyone is obviously in the same boat.
If everyone is poor, then it really means nothing.
But you are poor, you are poor, and you suddenly win a lottery, and you get the first prize.
This made the fellow sufferers very unhappy.
"Master Ning, since this poem was given to me, why not let me name it?" Wu Ang said while sitting on the horse.
Ning Chen was paid, and if the customer wanted to name it himself, Ning Chen would naturally not object.
Wu Ang thought for a moment and said, "How about this poem be called "Send Wu Ang off to Northern Xinjiang in Winter"?"
Ning Chen nodded: "Since it is given to you, the prince, you can call it whatever the prince wants."
Ning Chen has no objection, but the eldest prince, third prince, and hundreds of officials.
After listening to this, I felt that Wu Ang was very shameless.
You said giving Wu Ang as a gift in winter, that's no problem.
But where did you get the idea for the expedition to Northern Xinjiang?
You are originally from Northern Xinjiang, and now you can only go home.
Of course, if you insist on saying it's an expedition, it's not impossible, it's just too far-fetched.
And if you add the words "going to northern Xinjiang", no one will know what you are thinking.
These people present know the inside story, but not everyone who heard this poem knows the inside story.
What will everyone think then?
Everyone will immediately associate Wu Ang with a general who went to war for his country.
Perhaps fewer people see it this way now.
But after hundreds of years, all of them were dead.
When future generations read this poem, they don’t know any more of the inside story.
By then, won’t you Wu Ang really become a general of the country and a hero of the human race?
mean!
Shameless!
Obscene!
Of course Wu Ang wouldn't care about this.
Are you kidding, I spent money on it.
There are poems and names.
Wu Ang directly led his personal guards to the northern Xinjiang with great dignity.
"Come on, please get out of your momentum and roar your military bugle! The louder you roar, the more rewards I will give you!" After about a hundred steps away, Wu Ang gave orders to his bodyguards.
"The enemy is stained with blood and his fighting spirit is overwhelming!"
"The blood in my body is boiling for it!"
"Drink the enemy's blood and your murderous intent will rise to the sky!"
"Live to fight, die to fight!"
Following Wu Ang's order, Wu Ang's personal guards uniformly shouted their marching bugle.
They were all warriors, shouting in unison.
You can hear it clearly even from a thousand steps away, let alone a hundred steps away.
Hearing the slogans of Wu Ang's personal guards, everyone felt more and more that Wu Ang was shameless.
Let’s look at Ning Chen, the instigator. These two people are the same.
To say that the two of them didn't do anything shady, I wouldn't believe it.
"Disgraceful to politeness!"
"Waste of poetry!"
…
Whispered curses were heard among the officials.
Of course, this is mainly said by civil servants.
After all, military attachés don’t have that kind of cultural literacy.
And they think relatively simply.
They mainly wanted to know the price of Ning Chen's poems.
In the future, when they have the opportunity to go on an expedition, they will also ask Ning Chen to write a poem.
There is no need for this kind of timeless saying, as long as it can be passed down as a family heirloom.
Ning Chen now also feels that Wu Laoqi is a bit insulting to his gentleness.
My own words are immortal, so why don't you give me such a second-rate bugle call?
This is simply a humiliation of my "painstaking creation".
"Did you help him come up with this military slogan?" Wu Zhao, standing in front of Ning Chen, asked Ning Chen without looking back.
Ning Chen just wanted to compose a poem for Wu Laoqi, so he walked ahead.
So now in the first row, there are only Ning Chen and Wu Zhao, and then there is Sun Banban.
With your grandson by your side, you don’t have to worry about your conversation being overheard by others.
"Your Highness, how could such an uncultured slogan come from me.
This is what Prince Wu Ang figured out by himself.
If he had said earlier that there was still something like this and more money, I would have even thought of a slogan for him."
Wu Zhao continued to ask Ning Chen: "How much does this poem cost?"
Ning Chen replied: "It's not expensive, it's just Prince Wu Ang and 10% of the shares in the North."
After hearing Ning Chen's words, Wu Zhao actually said in agreement: "That's not expensive, maybe you'll still lose a little."
After listening to Wu Zhao's words, Ning Chen felt that there was obviously something in his words.
"What do you mean by His Highness's words?" Ning Chen asked.
Wu Zhao explained to Ning Chen: "Wu Ang's business in the four northern states was profitable before.
Mainly because he has business dealings with many small countries in the Ten Thousand Monster Kingdom.
However, with the emergence of Jiuding, northern Xinjiang will inevitably tighten up in the next three years.
So Wu’ang may not make any money, and of course it may lose a little bit.”
After hearing Wu Zhao's words, Ning Chen clenched his fists slightly.
After flying wild geese all day long, I was finally pecked by a wild goose.
Still, I was prostituted once by Wu Angwo for nothing.
Ning Chen should have thought a long time ago, how could a profiteer like Wu Ang get up early without profit.
I am still too kind.
"His Royal Highness feels that the seventh prince is a prince.
Doing business directly by yourself will have a very bad impact.
This would appear as if the imperial court was competing for the interests of the people.
I think the seventh prince’s property should be confiscated.”
After hearing Ning Chen's words, Wu Zhao said, "Your brotherhood is really pure."
"Who is a brother to him? I don't have such a brother. I am His Highness's from head to toe!" Ning Chen simply drew a clear line with Wu Ang and at the same time expressed his sincerity to Wu Zhao.
After hearing Ning Chen's words, Wu Zhao was unmoved and instead said to Ning Chen: "I can help you get another 20% of the shares from him."
Then he started to avenge his man.
Fortunately, she is the eldest wife of her own empress. The brothel was so jealous that she directly sent a fourth-grade master to help her.
Now that I see that my man has been cheated, I will immediately take advantage of him and seize his shares.
"I'll help you get more shares, but you have to help me revitalize Northern Xinjiang's business.
We also need to find a way to help me gather more people to go to Northern Xinjiang."
After hearing what Wu Zhao said, Ning Chen guessed what Wu Zhao was going to do.
Wu Zhao obviously has thoughts about the Ten Thousand Monsters Kingdom.
Even if you don't have any ideas, you still have to take advantage of the number of people to prevent the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom from making any rash moves.
"I will do my best to help His Highness."
This transaction was not considered a loss for Ning Chen.
Let’s get the shares first, and then we’ll see if we can help Wu Zhao achieve Wu Zhao’s goals.
We’ll talk about this later.
You have to let Wu Ang experience the pain first.
After Wu Ang and his large army had gone far, everyone followed Wu Zhao back to the palace.
It's not that we can't disband on the spot, it's just that everyone's horses, sedans, etc. are still being stored in the palace.
After returning to the palace, everyone dispersed where they were.
Ning Chen ignored the group of civil servants, who had a sour grape mentality.
I sat directly in my Maslais and went to Wanhong's place.
Ning Chen still wants to hear Wan Hong's opinion on Wu'ang's northern business.
After two months of renovation by Wanhong, Yanzuofang has changed a lot.
Nowadays, the walls of Yanzuo Square are all built high and strong.
There are people patrolling the walls at all times.
And among these patrollers, there are many warriors.
Because all the wine was put on sale, and the roads in Yanzuofang were repaired.
Therefore, the congestion situation is almost invisible.
When Ning Chen arrived at Wan Hong's residence, Wan Hong also hurriedly went out to greet him.
The two of them arrived at Wan Hong's home, and Ning Chen briefly told Wan Hong about Wu Ang giving him shares.
After listening to Ning Chen's words, Wan Hong pondered for a moment and then said: "Sir, you can't be considered a loss at all.
The shares given to you by the Seventh Prince will always be given to you.
Even if you go by what the adults say, the border may be temporarily closed.
But it will not remain closed until the border is opened.
Still making money.
And the more the blockade is now, the higher the price of things shipped out.
Others don’t have this channel, but I believe His Highness Wu Ang must still have it.”
Ning Chen nodded: "I have also thought of this, so I judged Wu Laoqi and took the initiative to give me shares.
It shouldn't be a matter of making money or not, he should have predicted his imperial sister's prediction in advance.
He should have guessed that his imperial sister was planning to make some noise in the north.
He was worried that his royal sister would get more, so he distributed the shares to me in advance."
Ning Chen has no doubt that Wu Ang has this analytical ability and insight.
If Wu Zhao hadn't told him about her planned actions in the north, Ning Chen would have thought that Wu Laoqi might have tricked him.
But after hearing what Wu Zhao wanted to do, Ning Chen understood everything.
Wu Laoqi is definitely more thoughtful than his two brothers.
Especially Wu Laoqi, a businessman, has many sources of information.
With a little analysis, you can guess what Wu Zhao is going to do.
Planning in advance is always better than being passive.
What Ning Chen actually wants to know now is how they can gather some people in the northern border.
Complete your idea of being the eldest wife of Emperor Wu.
"Master Ning, to be honest, this is quite difficult. The four northern states are close to the territory of the demon clan.
Don't say we want to block the border now, well, that's when it wasn't blocked.
The demon clan and us have also been having constant disputes.
It can be said that the northern border has been experiencing constant wars for many years.
Under such circumstances, it would be too difficult to gather the population naturally unless they were forced to migrate.
Who wants to live a precarious life?
It would be okay if my life could be better.
The key is that it's not going well.
This is too difficult.”
After listening to Wan Hong's analysis, Ning Chen suddenly felt that the four states in northern Xinjiang felt very similar to the country on Earth where Ning Chen came from.
When Ning Chen took the world history elective course, the teacher also specially analyzed this country.
"So if we follow this country's path, we should be able to revitalize the four states in northern Xinjiang."
Ning Chen also had an idea in his mind.
However, whether this can be done depends on the specific conditions of the four northern Xinjiang states.
Ning Chen asked Wan Hong to help him collect the specific situation of the four states in northern Xinjiang.
Then he went home first.
For the next five or six days, there was no disturbance in the court.
But it is obvious that everyone is busy.
Wu Zhao has issued several very important government orders in succession in the past few days.
To gather the three tripods of luck in a short period of time, Wu Zhao would not simply count on Kong Jijiu, the others, and Min Si.
You still have to work hard if you should.
Coupled with the rejuvenated Lin Dunxin, everyone in the court except Ning Chen was very busy.
Ning Chen also had a job, and Wu Zhao asked him to directly select people from the Enke class she was overseeing.
Of course, Ning Chen left this job directly to Liu Zhongzhi. Ning Chen didn't want to waste his brain on such a complicated job.
After being idle for seven days in a row, when Ning Chen complained that nothing major happened to trigger the incident, the Minister of War, Wang Lin, actually came to the door.
"When the military minister comes to visit his humble abode, the subordinate officials will welcome him from afar!"
Ning Chen went out to greet Wang Lin and said politely.
Feeling the heat on the ground, he looked inside the room, where the servants were all wearing single clothes and working.
Wang Lin really didn't know how cold Ning Chen's mansion was.
It's true that I am relatively cold.
It started to snow in Fengjing two days ago. Although it was not heavy, the weather was really cold.
Although there is heating in Wang Lin's mansion, it is just a brazier.
The floor heating there can be compared with that of Ning Chen.
"Commander, please have some tea." Ning Chen extended his hand and said politely.
Wang Lin took a sip of tea brewed at Ning Chen's house, and the chill in his body disappeared.
But this made me feel more and more uncomfortable.
With a long sigh in his heart, Wang Lin calmed down his emotions and said that business was more important.
"Master Ning, I would like to ask you to propose to Your Majesty that our guards from the Ministry of War go to Yuezhou to suppress the bandits!"
