Red Chamber: Bring Xue Baochai home at the beginning

Chapter 348 The Duke of Donghai has benefited, so what does it have to do with me, Feng Yuan?

Chapter 348 The Duke of Donghai has benefited, so what does it have to do with me, Feng Yuan?

"Since it came to the world, every pore of capital is dirty and bloody, expanding outward at any time.

If there is a 10% profit, it is guaranteed to be used everywhere.

With a 20% profit, it becomes active.

If there is a 50% profit, it will take risks.

For 100% profit, it dares to trample on all human laws.

With a 300% profit, it dares to commit any crime, even risking hanging its head. "

The passage discussed in "Das Kapital" talks about the idea of ​​capital.

But before the idea of ​​capital was born, other classes also had some of the attributes of capital.

That is, they are all profit-seeking to a certain extent.

It's just that the degree of depth is different.

As Feng Ziying said now, it is profit-oriented.

Since war can bring benefits, why not fight another war for benefits?

To a large extent, this also represents the current thinking of the founder of the country.

They were unable to participate in dividing up the interests of the Japanese nation, so they wanted to repeat such a war.

Dawei has the motivation to expand abroad, and Feng Yibo has always wanted to see the results.

But at this time, he did not agree easily.

"To be honest, there are too many coincidences in the terms of the peace negotiation this time. For example, if Donghai County hadn't happened to discover the silver mines in Wa Kingdom, then there would be no talk of compensation."

Feng Yibo shook his head, looked at the crowd with a smile that wasn't a smile, and asked again:

"It's impossible. Every war happens to be at the right time and place, and the other side just happens to have a silver mine, right?"

The founding group only saw the benefits, but did not see the dangers.

If it hadn't been known in advance that Wa had a huge silver mine, it would have been impossible for Wa to agree to pay compensation.

Moreover, although the Wa Kingdom was defeated at the time, it was not really at the end of its rope.

It was Feng Yibo who used some means to stir up internal fighting among the Japanese daimyos.

Let them be wary of each other and hold each other back.

In particular, the death of Toyoda Taiji left Japan without a leader.

The lord of the country, Shan Asakusa, is eager to take advantage of the situation to rise to power.

Such a mix of many factors can be regarded as the completion of the foreshadowing before the peace talks.

But even so, Feng Yibo still needs to borrow the power of the Great Wei Frontier Army, and even the Koryo State.

There are too many operations that are difficult to replicate in the signing of the terms of the agreement.

If the founding group expects the same rate of return, they are doomed to be disappointed.

Even if they really fight again, the cost they pay will be much higher than this time.

However, it is difficult to get such a rich return.

"There is no silver mine, and it is just that there is not such a big interest, but it does not mean that there is no interest."

Obviously, the King of Beijing has heard Feng Yibo's meaning.

He was advising himself that the benefits of war were not as great as he thought.

But after listening to it, Shui Rong couldn't give up the idea of ​​war.

The war on the Japanese side had been completely divided up with the signing of the peace agreement.

Now even if the founder of the country wants to get involved, Donghai County and the new nobles will not budge.

At most, it's just drinking some soup from Dawei.

Since it is doomed not to share the benefits this time, it is better for the founding lineage to lead a war by themselves.

As the leader of the founding line, Shui Rong has already been riding a tiger these days.

He must lead everyone to earn enough benefits, otherwise the founding line may fall apart.

Those forces on the periphery can also sit on the fence and watch the situation, or they can choose to seek refuge with the upstarts.

But a core like the Four Kings and Eight Dukes is doomed to die.

"You may not believe it when you tell it."

Feng Yibo could hear the desire for profit, but he didn't respond directly.

"It happened to catch up with me this time, and when I learned of the huge benefits contained in it, what I thought at the time was to win one or two for our Great Wei, and not let Donghai County take it all alone."

He smiled, and described the process of negotiating peace to himself.

"Although the matter of peace negotiation was urgent at the time, I also tried to mediate it repeatedly, and finally came up with such a compromise."

The three of them were a little confused, so they didn't know why Bai Feng Yibo complained about his suffering.

At this moment, Feng Yibo said again:

"Speaking of it, it's because of the situation. Otherwise, who would want others to take a bite of the fat in his mouth?"

What he wanted to say was that this time he took food from Donghai County for the sake of Wei.

The implication is actually a polite refusal later in the foreshadowing.

But to the King of Beijing, these words sounded like...

"If this matter can really be facilitated this time, Xiao Wang can guarantee that he will not let the husband's busyness go to waste."

Got it!

Shui Rong took Feng Yibo's words as an advantage.

He thought that what Feng Yibo meant was that the distribution of Donghai County to Da Wei did not benefit him.

So complaining at this time is to say that you have been busy for nothing, and you are busy for Dawei in vain.

"Junjia misunderstood me, just like this time in Waguo, Feng Yuan didn't do it for any benefit!"

Feng Yibo couldn't laugh or cry, he hurriedly explained, and said righteously:
"As long as it is beneficial to Da Wei, it is not a waste of time for me!"

joke!

What he wanted, he was afraid that the other party would not be able to give it to him.

"Mr. Gao Yi!"

The king of Beijing County smiled, followed suit, and said:

"Of course, Xiao Wang believes in your husband's character, but as the saying goes, you don't get rewarded without merit, but you should not empty your hands for merit. Doesn't this chill the hearts of those who have merit?"

To the King of Beijing, Feng Yibo's words were naturally correct nonsense.

He was telling Feng Yibo that as long as he helps, he will definitely get the reward he deserves.

"It doesn't matter if you are successful or not, money is like floating clouds to me."

Feng Yibo waved his hand again, and said with emotion:

"It's just that I didn't expect that everyone who participated except me would get the benefits, but now that I'm back, everyone is making things difficult for me, the only one who doesn't benefit!"

It sounded like he was complaining, but at this point, he glanced at the three people present.

Seeing that the eyes of the three were all focused on him, he sighed heavily and said:
"Hey! Tell me, this is really hard for a good person to do!"

What he said came from the bottom of his heart.

These days, he always hides when he can, and delays when he can't.

Tai Chi Kung Fu is perfect.

In the eyes of outsiders, he is naturally the beneficiary.

The one who can benefit is the King of Donghai County, so what does Feng Yibo have to do with him?

When the King of Beijing County heard this, he felt a little tired.

But he could only continue to hold him, and echoed with emotion:

"Sir, for the country and the people, I really suffered too much alone!"

This time Feng Yibo didn't deny it, and nodded, before saying:

"Because of this, I really don't want to participate in these things anymore. If the county driver is interested, you might as well let someone communicate with the king of Donghai County directly, and don't ask me to be this middleman again."

Is not this nonsensical?

If the Duke of Donghai can be found, who will come to him?
"Speaking of which, the heart of the country is known to everyone."

King Beijing nodded again, echoed, and said:

"I've also heard that some small countries in Nanyang are obedient on the surface, but in fact they hide their disobedience. Among other things, the small countries that border each other provoke my Wei border from time to time."

Are you not for the country and the people?

Now someone is disrespectful to Great Wei, shouldn't you express it?
After hearing this, Feng Yibo's heart turned.

Is the founder of the country eyeing several countries in Southeast Asia?

The north of Jiaozhi is backed by the Great Wei, so it goes without saying.

It is bordered by Canglan Kingdom to the west and Champa Kingdom to the south.

Speaking of dishonesty, I should be referring to Champa.

Over the years, the Champa Kingdom was ambitious, provoking Wei from time to time and trying to expand northward.

The other party's idea is good, but...

In Feng Yibo's plan, Nanyang has long been in Donghai County's pocket!

If it wasn't for fighting the Wa Kingdom first, Feng Yibo would have unified the Nanyang Islands long ago.

At this time, it is time to develop to the peninsula!
Originally, he was not prepared to agree easily.

Now that it is a small country in Nanyang, I don't even want to agree.

"Although I am now a hereditary second-class noble, I do not have the right to lead the army. I am only in charge of overseas affairs in the Ministry of Rites."

Feng Yibo listened to the words of King Beijing, and first emphasized his own job.

He smiled and cupped his hands in the direction of the palace, and said:
"If any small country is not a minister, the county driver may as well tell me directly, and when I return to the ministry, I will draw up a statement, and ask the emperor to issue an order!"

When he said this, he paused slightly, put down his prostrating hands, and said with a smile:
"If the other party still provokes, I can cooperate with Nan'an Palace to play, and ask the Ministry of War to come up with a plan for sending troops, and then make plans."

Feng Yibo's rhetoric is strictly in accordance with court procedures.

But the king of Beijing frowned frequently.

If you follow this process, [-]% of you will call back directly when you reach the cabinet.

Zhang Songyue's style has always been steadfast.

If it is not necessary, we will never start provocations lightly.

"Small country, why disturb Shengjia?"

King Beijing forced a smile, and continued:

"Speaking of which, it happens to be close to Donghai County, why don't you relay the answer for me, and ask the king of Donghai County if he is interested."

Having said that, he also explained:
"It's not a war to destroy the country, it's just to help teach those disobedient vassals a lesson, lest they often provoke and ignore the warnings of Nan'an Palace."

Nan'an Prince's Mansion dare not initiate border quarrels, but it is the responsibility of guarding the land.

If it is an excuse to fight back against Champa, normally there is no problem.

It's just that the Nan'an Palace's deterrence against Nanyang is mainly based on the Great Wei.

In itself, it does not have the strength to crush the nations.

And Donghai County's fleet is famous in the East China Sea, which has long been feared by the governments of Nanyang countries.

This naval battle, let people see more strength.

Although the rumors of spells are a bit exaggerated, the record is real.

20 troops, thousands of ships.

Say no to it!
If you can unite with Donghai County, no matter which small country in Nanyang is attacked, it will be easy to capture.

Speaking of this, his posture was a little lower, and he said expectantly:
"Everyone is a big Wei Xungui, so they should watch out and help each other. What do you think, sir?"

how is it?

If I want to fight Champa, why don't I play with you?

Feng Yibo couldn't help but want to laugh, nodded and said:
"As a member of the Great Wei, we should watch out and help each other, but..."

He first emphasized that it was not because of Xungui, but because they belonged to the Great Wei.

But while talking, he changed the subject and said:

"But I can't control whether the king of Donghai County agrees or not. It's better for the county driver to let Nan'an Palace try first. If the army is defeated, Donghai County will definitely not stand by."

If they lose, will they still have the right to speak when they are divided up in the future?
These words made King Beijing as uncomfortable as if he had eaten a fly.

"Sir, what you said is wrong. Since you are both members of the Great Wei, you should advance and retreat together. How can you just sit back and watch the Nan'an Palace be defeated?"

You still say that you are one of your own, are you ashamed to watch Nan'an Palace fail?
"What Jun Jia said is true, but if you are not sure, why do you force it?"

Feng Yibo could hear the resentment brought out by the other party's words, he smiled and shook his head and said:
"If you want me to say, it is better to accumulate strength, and then fight when you are sure."

Don't do porcelain work without diamonds!
From this point of view, the founding lineage was really pushed into a hurry.

Knowing that the strength is insufficient, but still want to be good at starting the war.

"I can't wait for the time!"

The King of Beijing County sighed heavily, and said with a miserable face:
"To tell you the truth, sir, the interests of the Japanese peace talks have affected too many people's hearts this time, and everyone is a little impetuous. If there is no fight, people's hearts will be scattered."

Seeing that the other party was a majestic county king, he began to sell miserably.

The corner of Feng Yibo's mouth trembled slightly, he suppressed a smile and said:
"Since Junjia doesn't treat me as an outsider, I'll just say something straight."

"Appreciate further details."

Shui Rong hurriedly sat up straight, as if listening attentively.

"Donghai County has just finished a battle, not only to consolidate the newly occupied territory in the Wa Kingdom, but also to support the people."

Feng Yibo laid out the facts, then sighed softly:

"Even if I communicate with you, I'm afraid Donghai County will not be able to send many troops to help Nan'an Palace fight."

It is true to consolidate the territory, but it is not necessary to support the livelihood of the people.

Donghai County's army is a professional army, not a militia.

However, gunpowder and ammunition were almost emptied during this battle, and it did take some time to accumulate.

"Xiao Wang is very grateful to have my husband tell you the truth today."

Shui Rong nodded gratefully, and said:
"There is really no rush for this matter. I just ask you to bring the word to me first. As for the day when the troops will be dispatched, we can continue to negotiate."

After all, he started out with military exploits, and he hangs out with Wu Xun on weekdays.

He also knew something about the war.

It can wipe out 20 troops, even with more victories than few, I am afraid that the battle damage will not be too small.

So once he heard what Feng Yibo said, Shui Rong believed it eight out of ten.

"The prince's words are all for this sake, if I refuse again, I will be a little ignorant."

Having achieved today's goal, Feng Yibo followed the original plan and said with a smile:
"Well, it's winter now, and the port of Jinmen is about to be closed. After the port is unsealed in spring, I will contact Donghai County immediately."

The king of Beijing County received an answer, and at least he had an explanation with the founding of the country.

Moreover, the situation at sea is indeed the same.

He nodded at the moment, raised his glass and said:

"Then there will be Mr. Lao, and there will be a big reward later!"

Feng Yibo raised his glass too, and replied:
"We're all for Wei, you don't have to be polite."

After speaking, the two drank their own drinks.

Seeing that the business was over, Feng Ziying got up immediately.

After filling up the wine for both of them personally, he said loudly:

"Come, come! Although it's a bit late, today is a good day for Yibo!"

Jia Lian on the side had been afraid to vent his anger, but at this moment he finally breathed a sigh of relief, and echoed:
"Yes, yes, yes! Today, Junjia is here to welcome the wind together, so it should be clear!"

The king of Beijing County finally let go of his worries after finishing his business talk.

Hearing this, he raised his glass and laughed:

"Although Xiao Wang is too strong to drink, today he can't think of himself. I swear that I will get drunk with my husband!"

Everyone toasted frequently in a joyful and peaceful atmosphere.

"Drink wins!"
