Wei Shu

Chapter 136 Hesitation
This kind of miraculous news spread very quickly, not to mention that the various people who delivered the news also had their own thoughts, and there was no need for anyone to push the waves, and the wind and waves had already risen and followed. The catastrophic storm is already brewing, and what they have to do now is to take advantage of this good time when the storm is not blowing and the chaos is full of chaos, to seek the greatest benefit for themselves.

What better way to fish in troubled waters than in such chaos?

As long as you are strong enough, so strong that no one dares to ignore it, then the so-called storm is nothing more than a light rain that wets your clothes.

"Father Mu Wen, when you were in the capital, did you hear any news about Song Nu?" Bush asked suddenly.

Although it is not abnormal for Mangtai to intervene in the slave trade, Bush still wanted to verify the news again, in case he misjudged the situation.

Mu Wen gave him a strange look, as if he didn't understand why he asked about this matter, but he still said: "The New Deal will be enacted in September this year at the earliest."

The so-called New Deal refers to the "New Regulations on Foreign Nationality Attachment" advocated by His Majesty, which is a number of laws and regulations promulgated specifically for foreign nationalities headed by Song people.

This law will partially abolish the old law of the Song people in the Kingdom of Jin that "be the last people, and be slaves according to their needs".To be more precise, only the article of "the last class of people" was retained, and the second half of the sentence "Song people are regarded as slaves when they enter the Dajin" was abolished, and more lenient rules were given to the rich and educated Song people. Membership conditions.

If they can serve the Kingdom of Jin and improve the agriculture, commerce, water conservancy, and even the military of the Kingdom of Jin, the Song people can be directly granted Jin status, and their descendants will be treated as officials of the Jin family forever.

In addition, the young and strong people of the Song Dynasty can also earn "Fanhu" for the whole family by mining, construction, and labor.

In other words, when the new policy is promulgated, the status of the Song people in the Kingdom of Jin will be greatly improved. Correspondingly, the trading of human slaves will be greatly restricted, and the slave market in Baishuang City will naturally be difficult to survive alone.

"No wonder I have such a big appetite." Bush laughed lowly.

Mu Wen was puzzled, but he didn't ask any questions, and only looked at him with concern.

Bush shook his head and smiled, "It's nothing, Father Muwen, it's just a trivial matter."

Mang Tai suddenly became a slave of many people, presumably he wanted to make a fortune before the New Deal was promulgated.

This also reminded Bush.He planned to recover all the capital of the slave market in a few days, and those in Beijing must be about to take action. If they are late in the news, Bush doesn't mind reminding them and giving them a favor.

However, compared to the upcoming events, these are all minor details. If the plot is successful, what is the little money in the slave market worth?
Bush put his forehead on Mu Wen's knee, touched it lightly, then stood up, sat on the opposite side of the desk, stared at his adoptive father, and said in a deep voice:
"I have received definite news that the mice of the Song Kingdom are planning to do something on the day of the Lantern Festival."

When he spoke, his eyes were focused and eager, as if he was not only looking at his adoptive father, but at a certain god he believed in: "Father Muwen, I need your guidance."

His voice was very low, and the expression on his face was somewhat hesitant:

"I thought I was ready to do it, and the timing was very good. But I was worried that I was not prepared enough. But if I keep delaying, I may never find a better opportunity than this. I... am a little undecided. "

In just two sentences, the meaning has been repeated several times, which shows that his thoughts are stalemate and it is difficult to make a decision.

The once-in-a-lifetime opportunity is right in front of you. If you don't seize it, you don't know when the next time will be.But at the same time, the time was really rushed, he didn't have much confidence, and after all, he was taking risks, if he missed, the outcome would be unpredictable.

Bush admitted that he was actually a little timid, or that he underestimated the upcoming changes and the price to be paid for them.

"The ceremony held by the Nadan family in Canghe is also scheduled on the day of the Lantern Festival." He finally said.

For some reason, he said this sentence with extra emphasis, as if to prove something.

"Son, you should make up your own mind." Mu Wen's tone was reproachful again, obviously he didn't agree with his adopted son's dependence on him, and he was dissatisfied with his hesitation at this moment.

There was a trace of shame on Bush's face, and he lowered his head in shame.

Mu Wen lowered his eyes to focus on him, suddenly smiled slightly, narrowed his one-eyed eyes that were as clear and deep as a deep lake, and his tone became extremely gentle: "However, I want to tell you good news. I prayed to the God of Wind and the God of Rain, and got their response."

He stood up slowly, put his hands on his chest, and took half a step forward.

The sunlight fell on his body, illuminating his face cut by the long and narrow black scarf, and also illuminating the flame dancing deep in the blue pupils.

He raised his head, and there was a bit of fanaticism in his raving voice, and he said dreamily: "My son, I will convey the divine will to you. On the day of the Lantern Festival, the wind and rain will obey your arrangements, and even the water in the Cang River The god of water will also be your help.

Hear the will of God, my son.The stars will eventually shine in the night, and the eagle will fly high in the sky.Daikin will usher in a new king.On this land, under the gaze of the gods, amidst blood and fire.King, coming soon. "

He closed his eyes, opened his arms, and his thin body stretched out, as if he wanted to embrace the scorching sun that covered his whole body.

At that moment, his demeanor was so pious and his emotion was so strong, Bush could not help being infected, those ambitions buried deep in his heart were like weeds growing wildly in spring, from every pore of his, With each breath overflowing, he couldn't help shaking his face, shaking his hands and feet, and trembling all over his body.

The sunlight slanted through the window lattice, projected on the unrelated father and son, and poured their shadows on the ground.

Bush was completely immersed in this dreamlike atmosphere, with his eyes closed and his body swaying slightly.But at that moment, his adoptive father suddenly opened his single eye, and the blue pupils quickly slid out of the window.

In that short moment, Mu Wen's eyes fluctuated, as if a little surprised, but also a little curious, and finally turned to ridicule.

He quickly closed his eyes, as if he had never had such a glance.And after ten breaths, the sarcasm that had appeared on his face was transferred to Bush's face.

He heard faint footsteps, and when he turned his head, he saw a group of people walking on the sandy ground beyond the window pane. Among them, a young man was walking in the front. He was wearing a luxurious brocade robe and a golden crown on his head. With every step, the jewels on the top of the crown will flash with dazzling light.
