Volume 10 Chapter 256

Chapter 256

I see! No wonder Tang Yin suddenly became so kind-hearted. It turned out that he had ulterior motives and other agendas. !. After Lingshuang understood in her heart, she stopped arguing with him and nodded in agreement: "Brother Wang has the final say!"

"Okay!" Tang Yin responded and said, "I will try my best to improve the tents and food. Do you have any other requirements?"

Unexpectedly, Tang Yin agreed so readily. The girl was stunned for a moment and said, "No more for now."

Tang Yin smiled and said to Jiang Hao: "I know all the requests made by Mr. Jiang Hao. However, due to limited conditions, I cannot agree to them all at once, but I will work hard to make everyone live comfortably. ”

Jiang Hao sighed secretly, looked at each other with the other literary representatives, and then they all bowed deeply in unison and said in unison: "Thank you, His Highness, King Feng." In their hearts, Tang Yin's expression at this time His generosity and easy-going are in sharp contrast to King Jeong Li Hong's indiscriminate killing of innocent people. Even the Feng King who invaded the Zhen Kingdom could treat the literati of the Zhen Kingdom well and listen to their advice. Why couldn't the monarch of his own country do the same? This is so ironic.

Tang Yin waved his hands with a smile and said: "Gentlemen, you don't have to be polite. I have prepared some light wine and vegetarian dishes. Please forgive me for any inconvenience in hospitality."

"Ah! His Royal Highness Feng Wang is so polite." Jiang Hao stood up in flattery and repeatedly held his hands.

Everyone enjoyed the meal with great enjoyment. After three rounds of wine and five dishes, everyone was almost done eating and drinking. Then they stood up and excused themselves to Tang Yin and Lingshuang.

Tang Yin stood up and personally escorted everyone outside the tent. He suddenly said: "Mr. Jiang Hao, please stay."

Jiang Hao was stunned, wondering what else he had to do. The others also stopped and looked at Tang Yin in confusion. The latter said with a smile to everyone: "I have a few words that I want to talk to Mr. Jiang Hao alone."

Hearing what he said, everyone couldn't stay any longer. They bowed and left one after another. The girl looked puzzled and looked deeply at Tang Yin, then at Jiang Hao. She didn't say anything more, and said thoughtfully. He followed several other literati and walked away.

Seeing that everyone had gone away, Jiang Hao couldn't help but ask: "His Royal Highness, Feng Wang, left this villain behind, what's the point of doing it?"

Tang Yin turned sideways and said, "Let's go back to the tent and talk!"

Walking back to the tent again, Tang Yin and Jiang Hao sat down again as guest and host. After taking two sips of tea, Tang Yinfang asked: "Mr. Jiang Hao is very knowledgeable. Does he have any intention of seeking fame?"

Jiang Hao's heart moved, he pondered for a moment, and said: "Your Highness doesn't know something. I am just a commoner. Even if I have the ambition to achieve fame, I have no way to achieve it."

In the Zheng Kingdom, where martial arts was extremely valued over literature, it was too difficult for literati to get ahead, especially those from civilian backgrounds. Even if they were knowledgeable and talented, it was difficult for them to hold an official position in the officialdom.

Tang Yin said with a smile: "Now is the time for Feng Country to employ people. I wonder if Mr. Jiang Hao has any plans to serve as an official in Feng Country?"

After hearing this, Lingshuang, who had not yet left, once again cast a confused look at Tang Yin.

What kind of talent does Jiang Hao have? Tang Yin can personally invite him to serve as an official in Feng Country. She really doesn't feel that there is anything special about Jiang Hao. This kind of scholar who has been studying for a few years and thinks he is noble can do it in any country. Caught a lot.

Jiang Hao was surprised and delighted at Tang Yin's invitation. Who among those who read this would not want to be an official? There are often some literati who consider themselves hermits, but in fact they just have no choice but to escape from the world because they don't have the right opportunity. Jiang Hao was stunned for three seconds, then fell to his knees with a plop, and said with a trembling voice: "His Royal Highness the Feng King's kindness of knowing me, I will never forget it..."

Before he could finish speaking, Tang Yin waved his hand, planning his compliments, and said, "Invite Mr. Jiang Hao to be an official in Feng Country. If he occupies a prominent position from the beginning, I'm afraid it will arouse dissatisfaction and hostility from others." Ah, after all, Mr. Jiang Hao has no merit and no merit, and he is a chaste person..." He deliberately did not finish his words, waiting for Jiang Hao to continue.

Jiang Hao asked: "What the king means..."

Tang Yin sighed deliberately and said: "Now, our Feng Kingdom has more than twenty counties, and there are large fertile fertile fields in the country that have not been cultivated. Seeing the land gradually being abandoned, I am very heartbroken! But Zhen Kingdom is different. The land is barren, and no matter how much cultivation it is, it cannot be turned into fertile land. The people have worked hard for a year, but in the end they can only receive a meager amount of food. After taking away taxes, there is not much left. In Feng Country, every family can have food and clothing, and every household can be prosperous. Moreover, at that time, young and strong men no longer have to bear military service, chores and hard labor, and can be reunited with their families all the time, living a carefree and free life. I don’t know how many times this is better than being in Zhenguo!”

He didn't make his words clear, and talked in a roundabout way. He had only one meaning, which was that he hoped that the people of Zhen Kingdom could migrate to Feng Kingdom and settle down.

When Jiang Hao heard this, he took a breath. No matter how bad the environment in Zhen Country was and how difficult the lives of the Zhen people were, this was his hometown after all, and the Zhen people had always come here like this for thousands of years.

According to Tang Yin's wishes, he wanted to move Zhenren to Feng Country, leaving his homeland and traveling to a foreign country. This was not an easy thing to accept.

"This..." He lowered his head and remained silent.

Tang Yin rolled his eyes and said, "Mr. Jiang Hao, the actions of Zhen Wang Li Hong have aroused the wrath of heaven and people, and have not left a way for the people of Zhen! Now the coalition forces of the six countries have attacked, and it won't be long before the entire Zhen will fall into chaos. By then, I don't know how many innocent people will die in the war. Fengguo is different, it is stable and strong. As long as the people of Zhen are willing to go to Fengguo, they can not only get a large piece of land for free, but I can also guarantee that the people of Zhen will be exempted from corvée and taxes for three years."

Jiang Hao's eyes lit up. Permanent exemption from corvée, exemption from taxes for three years, and large tracts of fertile land without spending a penny, the world is so big, but where can you find such a good thing?

He pondered for a long time and said, "Your Majesty, I will try my best to persuade the people after I go back, but my ability is limited. As for how many people I can persuade, I don't know."

Tang Yin smiled slightly and said, "Mr. Jiang Hao can first persuade the literati among the people. As long as the literati are on your side, you can get twice the result with half the effort. What's more, the people are easy to coax. First scare them hard, and then throw sweet things. Why worry about not being successful? There are hundreds of thousands of people gathered in the camp now. If Mr. Jiang Hao can persuade them all, it will be a great achievement. When you go to Fengguo in the future, even if I give you a high official of the third, second or even first rank, no one will dare to say a word of gossip."

Jiang Hao was moved by Tang Yin's words. He rolled his eyes and asked, "Can all the people I recommend be officials in Fengguo?"

Tang Yin understood what he meant. If he wanted to persuade other literati, he would always have to throw out some benefits. He nodded with a smile and said, "I trust Mr. Jiang Hao. As long as it is someone recommended by you, I will use him."

"I understand." Jiang Hao took a deep breath, no longer hesitated, and said with a bow, "Please rest assured, my king, I will do my best to fulfill your request."

"Yes! I feel relieved when you say that." Tang Yin turned his head and waved his hand and said, "Reward!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Ah San brought out a tray that had been prepared long ago, walked in front of Jiang Hao, put down the tray, and said seriously, "Master Jiang, this is the reward from the king."

As he spoke, he lifted the red silk of the tray, and Jiang Hao looked inside. Well, the tray was filled with gold ingots.

This must be at least several hundred taels. Jiang Hao had never seen so much gold in his life. He couldn't help but tremble. He raised his head and asked stutteringly: "My king, this... this is..."

Tang Yin said softly: "My king has never treated people who work for me unfairly. This gold is just a small gift. In the future, when Mr. Jiang Hao becomes a pillar of my Dafeng court, he will get thousands and tens of thousands of times more gold and silver than this, and he will be rich and prosperous, and his descendants will last for generations!"

Gulp! Jiang Hao swallowed a mouthful of saliva, stretched out his hand tremblingly, slowly picked up the tray, and then hugged it tightly in his arms...

After Jiang Hao left, only Tang Yin and Lingshuang were left in the tent. There were no outsiders, and Lingshuang could speak freely. She smiled bitterly and shook her head and said: "My brother is so clever. He actually picked Jiang Hao at once."

Tang Yin raised his eyebrows, smiled silently, and drank tea slowly.

"The more self-righteous a person is, the more inferior he is, and the easier it is to be bought." Lingshuang said, "Besides, he is good at speaking, and his ability to create public opinion and fan the flames is unmatched. If he is asked to persuade the people, it will basically be a sure thing."

"Oh!" Tang Yin responded without comment and continued to drink tea.

"Brother Wang actually hates people like Jiang Hao?" Lingshuang asked with a smile.

"Why does sister Wang say that?" Tang Yin put down the cup and looked at her puzzledly.

"Intuition."

Tang Yin nodded and said, "Today he can sell out Zhenguo for fame and money, and tomorrow he can also sell out Fengguo for these two things."

"So, when Jiang Hao accepted Brother Wang's conditions, he was doomed to die?!" Lingshuang admired Tang Yin's methods, but it did not mean that she agreed with Tang Yin's despicable approach.

"Everyone has his value. In this world, no one is useless to you. It depends on whether you can put him in the right position." Jiang Hao is the best cannon fodder!

Tang Yin stood up with the table, and walked out, saying expressionlessly: "The Chuan and Mo armies are about to arrive in Juan. I hope to finish our own affairs before they arrive."
