Chapter one hundred and seventy
"How nice, it's already afternoon." Bai Mei said.
The sun is warm, so warm that people are tired.
"Yes." Mo Shiran replied and then asked, "Do you want to see Su Yan? I haven't seen him since you came back."
Bai Mei lowered her eyes, and no one saw the guilt in her eyes. She said: "I am going to see several ministers sent by Chen Guo, one of whom is called Meng Wu. It is said that he is a great scholar of Chen Guo. He reads through ancient and modern times, cares about people's livelihood, and is a good official praised by everyone."
"Bai Mei!"
"Momo, you should know that I have my difficulties in seeing who I don't see."
Don't grind your teeth, but you can only be speechless.
A delicate and round purple clay teapot was carefully placed on the tea case by Bai Mei.
There is a small stove beside the tea case with an iron pot burning on it. The well water just pumped up in the stove is still chilling quietly.
"Bai Mei, I don't understand," Meng Wu said. "You want to subvert our country, but you still want us to serve you."
"No, I just want to destroy the royal family of Chen, which has not kept its promise, violated the way of heaven and threatened the peace of my country. I don't want my fighters to walk all over every inch of Chen's land and make the people of Chen's country miserable." Bai Mei took out two tea cups, rinsed them one by one, and placed them between them. He said slowly, "The people are innocent and they should be taken care of by the government."
"After all, you want to replace Chen Guo."
"It was never the country that destroyed Chen Guo, and it would not be a person like me who could not help himself." Bai Mei looked up at Meng Wu's face and said: "With all due respect, Chen Guo's demise lies in the fact that Chen Guo's king did not care for his people, did not trust his officials, and did not understand reason..."
"Please forgive me for speaking bluntly," Meng Wu seemed to be offended by this criticism, and looked up to contradict him with some brains: "The emperor of Ringuo is close to women and spoils adulterers, that is, he understands reason? I don't need to say much, Bai Mei, you should know what kind of person you are, and you should also tell me what to do!"
Bai Mei smiled, not annoyed, stretched out his hand to explore the temperature of the boiling water in the pot, picked up the pot, and poured boiling water on the tea cup and purple clay pot, leaving warm and wet traces.
Without a response, Meng Wu was slightly calm and ashamed. For his radical remarks, the gentle and freely spoken woman in front of him was not as brave as the people of Rin, but it was obviously not as unbearable as the legends of Chen's court.
"Mr. Meng, I heard that the west of Chen State is the same as the south of Lin State. The climate is humid and warm. It is good weather, but there are many mountains and gullies. It is impossible to grow rice, but it is barren."
"Yes."
"Four years ago, fiercely state-owned people created the method of terraced fields, turn barren hills into fertile land, has been to feed several provinces of the family. Just though the two places are close, it is not news. The country is rich, but Chen country is still starving because of lack of food. Many people on the border try to sneak into the country of Lin country... If Chen country is merged by Lin country, the method of terraced fields can naturally be promoted. "
"..."
"I also heard that Chen north and fiercely north, are close to hu. Hu people are nomadic and have no production in autumn and winter. They often invade on a large scale. Three years ago, the countries of Lin signed a treaty with them, intermarriage, trade and non-aggression. Since then, the countries of Lin have changed their grain and cloth for countless Hu Renliang Ma Jun riders. They have also got a lot of iron ore and their equipment has been greatly improved. Chen Guo still can't reach a consensus with the conference semifinals, and the war is still going on year after year, suffering the frontier people... If Chen Guo is merged by the countries of Lin, the harm of the conference semifinals can be alleviated a lot. "
"..."
Tea fragrance overflowed, Bai Mei smiled and handed a cup of tea to Meng Wu's hand.
"I also heard that..."
"Have you still heard that the officials of my country are shameless and loyal, and a cup of fragrant tea can make us change hands?"
"Of course not," Baimei was interrupted, But it doesn't seem to be dissatisfied with it, Just took a sip of tea, "I just heard that, There is a Mr. Meng Wu in Chen State who knows ancient and modern times, Xiao current affairs, very care about the life and death of the people, care about the survival of the people's livelihood... Now the western border town of the original Chen country is also a famine. Since my country has occupied it, it naturally shipped relief food and grass, but there is no one who knows the environment, and the action is quite blocked. If Mr. Wang changes his mind and is willing to help, it must be beneficial to the people and harmless to the people's livelihood. "
"You're right." Meng Wu swallowed the tea and reluctantly agreed: "Bai Hou, I think I have changed my mind. However, you must promise that at least you will be kind to the people of our country."
"They are already the people of my country, Mr Meng. And I will not mistreat any people in the country. They live and work in peace and contentment, so that we can sit back and relax."
"Bai Hou, give me another week."
"Good." Bai Mei smiled: "In a week, Mr. Wang might as well arrange for his family to pack up before going on the road."
"No, a week. I'll convince the rest for you." Meng Wu said: "Even I did the first thing for you to express my sincerity. Just, you have to remember what you said."
Bai Mei bowed deeply: "So, please sir."
As long as they are willing to support me, I will give them a chance to live.
