Chapter 493 Throwing a Bone to the Dogs

Ran Ming secretly sighed, no wonder "all the people in the world look forward to Xie An, and the prime minister in Guanzhong is only Wang Meng". The second generation of the contemporary era, the one who almost single-handedly made Di Qin from a small unknown tribe to become a majestic strong Qin who unified the north. Wang Meng.

Wang Meng's strategy does not see the benevolence of Confucianism. It can be summed up in four steps, that is, the first step is to divide interests, the second step is to bind interests, the third step is to annex the race, and the fourth step is to destroy the family.

Ran Ming said: "Sir, can you solve Gu's confusion?"

"This can also be called killing three men with two peaches, or in popular terms, throwing a bone into the dogs, causing them to loot them." Wang Meng said with a smile: "Let's talk about the first step of the division of interests. The various ethnic groups in Pingzhou and Yingzhou The common people are actually living a very hard life. If our Great Wei can improve their living conditions, they will appear in different camps. For example, Prince Yu Wei of Fuyu and Goguryeo, who contributed the most in the Battle of Dragon City, His Highness can trade , Buy Liaodong specialties from them, such as ginseng, deer tendon, cowhide and even cattle and sheep, at a reasonable price, even at a price that makes people jealous, buy these materials from them, and then sell them grain, tea, and silk! Giving this huge benefit to Goguryeo, Fuyu, and the meritorious ministries can not only reflect the magnanimity and credit of our Great Wei, but also provoke disputes among them. With interests, there will be divisions. The clans and tribes don't care about anything, and Goguryeo and Buyeo will definitely become the target of public criticism. They will no longer unite to fight against Wei, but will fight Goguryeo and Buyeo because of the huge benefits. "

"Throwing bones in a pack of dogs!" Ran Ming laughed loudly. Using economic means to solve strategic goals at the least cost is not only Ran Ming's favorite method, but also the method that Ran Ming is best at.Wang Meng's methods are very high and it is exactly to Ran Ming's appetite.

Ran Mingdao: "Actually, there is another way, that is wool. Cashmere wool can not only be woven into fine and warm cloth, but also can be woven into blankets, spun into wool, or knitted into sweaters. It is no less than a down jacket in winter. , although there are still technical problems that have not been resolved, but sooner or later."

"Wool?" The expression on Wang Meng's face suddenly became exciting. You must know that wool is a waste in the hands of nomads. They don't know how to weave. Even a pound of wool is enough to drive those nomads crazy. This is almost a wealth picked up for nothing.

In fact, Wang Meng doesn't need to explain below, Ran Ming also knows Wang Meng's intentions, because of conflicts of interests, they will fall into war and cannot develop, the workshops in various parts of Wei State need a lot of labor, men can go to the mountains to dig mines, build bridges and pave roads , Digging canals, and even doing some high-intensity physical work, and women are also useful, can weave, can do those handicrafts, and now Wei Guo is looking for a shortage of people everywhere.

As long as Wang Meng's four strategies are implemented smoothly, Wei Guo can not only solve the Liaodong issue once and for all, but also add tens of thousands or even more labor force.

Just when Wang Meng wanted to explain his way of assimilating with Confucianism "benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and trustworthiness" to digest the cohesion of his nation's centripetal force, he suddenly received a report from the guards, "The middle base army, Dubo Maqiu, please see me!"

"What are you talking about? Louder!" Ran Ming said.

The guard said: "Du Bo Maqiu is kneeling outside the camp, bare chested and backless, pleading guilty!"

"What?" Ran Ming said in disbelief: "Could it be that Ma Qiu doesn't want to live anymore, it's minus ten degrees outside, and it's too cold to wear a down jacket, so he's not afraid of freezing to death?"

"This, I don't know if you are humble!"

"Sir, let's go and see this idiot together!" Ran Ming got up and said fiercely to Wang: "I'm still guilty of pleading guilty, hey, I'm so mad!"

"You guy, don't you think it's cold in such a cold day?" Ran Ming and Wang Meng came outside the tent and saw Ma Qiu kneeling on the ground with blue lips from the cold. Ran Ming asked in puzzlement, "Why are you doing this?" A big battle?"

"Mo...humble, this is an apology, apology!" In fact, Ma Qiu had never had such a close chance to see Ran Ming.However, as the only prince with military power in Great Wei, he had heard too many rumors about Ran Ming.Seeing Ran Ming so close, Ma Qiu felt his heart was about to jump out of his body.This is the son of Emperor Ran Min of Wei State, and this is the new generation of Ran's God of War in Wei State.

Ma Yu's eyes were full of determination, a trace of determination.He was originally a man slave. Before he surrendered to Wei, he was threatened with death almost every day.As a slave, he has no human rights and no freedom.But Ran Min pardoned his slave status and made him a free civilian.Ran Min gave him a chance to be a man, and he used the spear in his hand to prove his dignity and value.

Ran Ming helped Ma Yu up, and put the expensive fur cape on his bare upper body.

"Your Highness, I want to make an apology." Ma Qiu said excitedly: "This is an apology. I am a little impatient." After speaking, Ma Qiu handed the letter from Yecheng in his arms to Ran Ming.

As soon as Ran Ming read the beginning, he understood that it was a letter.Even if Ran Ming only read the beginning, he knew that someone wanted to stick his gun into the middle base army, wait for the opportunity to create a mutiny in the army, and take his own life casually.Although there is no way to infer who wrote this letter from the handwriting and signature, but in terms of specific benefits, Ran Ming can figure it out with his knees even if he doesn't use his head.

Soil still has three parts, let alone a person?Ran Ming was really angry this time.A tyrannical murderous aura slowly emerged from Ran Ming's body, a substantive aura, that kind of domineering arrogance, filled the entire handsome tent.

Ma Qiu had felt this majestic aura from Ran Min before.At this moment, Ma Qiu and the surrounding soldiers felt the high fighting spirit, their blood was boiling with enthusiasm, and there was a kind of fanaticism in their hearts, that is to die for Ran Ming.

"Sir. Please take a look!" Ran Ming handed the letter to Ran Ming, and then turned around and said to Maqiu, "In this way, not only are you innocent, but you have made meritorious deeds. How can you say that you are guilty?"

Maqiu knelt down again, this time he performed the great gift that a slave would give to his master, throwing himself on the ground.

Ma Qiu said: "Humble...humble, my heart is too greedy, and I almost didn't keep the door of my heart. Facing temptation and temptation is a great crime!"

Ran Ming did not help Ma Qiu this time, but said seriously: "Tell the lonely king, what is your ideal?"

"Ideal?" Looking at Ma Qiu's blank expression, Ran Ming explained again: "Ideal can also be understood as your dream. What is your dream?"

"Humble..." Ma Qiu said with a very respectful attitude: "From now on, I will no longer be a slave, I will have enough food every day, and I will have a woman and a home!"

Ran Ming said: "You are a Dubo now, and a Dubo is not a slave army. As a general of the Great Wei, a Dubo, this is the most basic thing. I'm afraid you already have these things, right?"

Hearing these words, Ma Qiu turned pale, he really didn't understand what Ran Ming meant.

"As long as you are loyal to the Great Wei and don't break the law and discipline, the lonely king will protect your wealth and honor for the rest of your life!"

Ran Ming returned to the tent of the Chinese army commander, his face turned blue with anger, he pointed at the door, and after a while Ran Ming said angrily, "Someone is really haunted!".

"Your Highness...what are you going to do?" Wang Meng's worried question finally turned into a terrifying fact.Ran Zhi couldn't tolerate Ran Ming anymore. Now that Ran Ming is not in Jiankang and no longer has military power, his safety has become the biggest problem.

"Someone wants to slap Gu in the face, but Gu has never had the habit of stretching out the right cheek when others slap Gu in the face." Ran Ming calmly said, "Since it's inevitable, it's no big deal, let's fight!"

Wang Meng asked: "Your Highness is going to fight back? Fighting back at this time may not be good for the country!"

Ran Ming said: "Gu's biggest wish is to be a prince of peace and happiness, and spend time with his wife and concubine, drunk and dreaming of death. However, Gu Yi retreated again and again, but was considered weak by someone. This king has no intention of spying on that seat, but there is no way to avoid it." , There is no way to retreat, and I will continue to go forward courageously as always!"

Although Ran Ming didn't tell Wang Meng clearly who that person was, Wang Meng also understood what Ran Ming was secretly referring to.Wang Meng has been waiting for this day ever since Ran Ming hugged the eldest concubine and said "the little princess of the Ran family".

Wang Meng was actually looking forward to this day.

Although Ran Zhi is capable, his heart is also tenacious.However, the thinking is too extreme, a little too eager for quick success.As a subject, this problem is harmless, but as the king of a country, it is the greatest misfortune.But Ran Ming is different, he can assess the situation and make the best use of his talents. More importantly, Ran Ming has the demeanor of a wise king, respects the virtuous and corporal, listens to advice and accepts advice.More importantly, he does not have high requirements for material life and will not be harsh on the people. Such a monarch is the greatest luck for the country.

Wang Meng is in an excited mood at the moment. He has ideals and ambitions, but lacks a platform. Both Ran Min and Ran Zhi only value him as a capable official, not a pillar.

What's more, Ran Ming's policy of governing the country and his ideal policy of governing the country miraculously agree with each other.

On the surface, Wang Meng looked normal, but the excitement in his heart was beyond words, "How does Your Highness plan to fight back?"

"Counterattack?" Ran Ming said seriously: "To be honest, I really don't have a clue. Sir, you also know that in Yecheng, I have no foundation and no allies. Their strength is too weak, if they are allowed to charge alone, it is very likely that the originally weak merchants will die. Seeing that the master is so confident, I am afraid that he has a plan in his chest?"

"It's impossible to be confident!" Wang Meng said: "According to the information from Tianyan, there are people in Yecheng who want to turn those rumors into a solid case!"
