Chapter 199

Chang Lin led people out of the palace, looked up at the drowsy sky, and smiled silently. Liu Guo did not give an answer on the spot, but said that he would discuss it. Chang Lin didn't care about this. Because Anyang's production capacity is limited now, it is still unable to fully open trade with the outside world. Therefore, it doesn't matter whether Liu Guo agrees to trade or not.

The important thing is that through this excuse, I can enter the Liu country for investigation and further plan to recruit talents. This is the only purpose of coming to Liu Guo!

Just as Chang Lin walked out of the palace, a man with disheveled hair and a disheveled suit suddenly came to Chang Lin and asked, "Are you from Anyang? That's Anyang where Li Xian, who said business and industry revitalized the country, is located?"

"Yes." Chang Lin replied without thinking; because the concept of rejuvenating the country through industry and commerce prevails, the people of Anyang are very proud of it.

The man with disheveled hair immediately raised his head, showing a pale face, "Can I go to Anyang?"

Chang Lin frowned slightly, but still calmed down, "Everyone can go to Anyang now, we welcome anyone."

"Really? Then can I go with your big ship?"

Chang Lin's feeling at this moment is - why is this person getting more and more insatiable.

Seeming to see Chang Lin's hesitation, the man with disheveled hair immediately took out a jade pendant from his pocket, "This jade pendant is a low-level magic weapon. It has the effect of purifying the heart and eliminating fire. It is worth a hundred taels of gold. I use this for travel expenses."

Chang Lin looked at this person and pushed his hand back, "If you have the ability, I can give you a ride for free. But if you don't, then I'm sorry, you are not eligible to board the ship!"

Hearing this, the man with disheveled hair suddenly moved, holding a spell in his hand, uttering a spell in his mouth, and a gust of breeze swirled in an instant; a moment later, a pale young man stood in front of Chang Lin. It's just that this person's clothes are a little ragged, and there are bloodstains in his hair, but his image is much better than before. At least, no more disheveled hair.

The man then recited a cleansing spell, and the messy blood on his body disappeared without a trace.

With this transformation, this man has changed from a beggar to a half noble son. If it weren't for the pale, blood-stained, even slightly sad expression and a kind of indescribable despair at the moment, if it wasn't for the ragged clothes, he might be a handsome nobleman.

After sorting it out, this person introduced him seriously, "Hello, my name is Gongsun Wushang. I think, just by my name, I am qualified to step on your big ship!"

Chang Lin frowned slightly, "Sorry, I just came here and didn't hear your name."

Gongsun Wushang pointed at the surrounding crowd, "You can ask everyone. With so many people, you can always ask for some information."

Chang Lin was not polite, and immediately asked people on the street. As a result, no one was willing to say an extra word! As long as the words "Gongsun Wushang" are mentioned, everyone's eyes will start to flicker.

This situation is a bit wrong; Chang Lin changed his method as soon as he turned his eyes, and asked the old man, "Old man, there is no such person as Gongsun Wushang in Liu Guo!"

The old man replied very interestingly, "Yes, no. It was gone two hours ago."

This answer is so interesting. No matter what Chang Lin said, he is also a great general, and he is still a master of Jindan stage, so of course he is not stupid. Then I turned my head to look at the guy who called himself "Gongsun Wushang", and immediately made a decision, "Let's go, I'll take you to Anyang. But let's talk about it first, if you are not Gongsun Wushang, or yours If you’re not capable enough, it’s too late to regret it now.”

Gongsun Wushang walked forward arrogantly, "Don't worry, I will take special care of you in the future."

Chang Lin did not return to the big ship at night, but lived in the house arranged by Liu Guo; but he asked the people around him to send Gongsun Wushang to the ship. Since it was determined that this person might be a talent, of course Chang Lin had to hold it in his hands. That Gongsun Wushang didn't look like he was only in the foundation building stage, and he wasn't good enough to wreak havoc on the ship.

Not to mention Gongsun Wushang's surprise at seeing the iron-clad ship, but to say that Chang Lin finally understood how Liu Guo and the Legalists governed the country at night. Orders are prohibited, and the country is ruled by law; but the law is a cool law! For example, in the afternoon, the imperial palace issued an order, "Don't talk about Gongsun Wushang", but no one dared to talk about it; anyone who dared to talk nonsense would be beaten with a board, and his tongue would be cut off if it was serious; head!

"Is the law here really suitable for Anyang?" Chang Lin was dumbfounded listening to those bloody cool laws and regulations. This is not the law of governing the country at all, but the prison law in the prison! The laws are strict and detailed, and even swearing is prohibited.

"It's almost stipulated that the right foot or the left foot should be used first when walking!" said a guard.

Chang Lin didn't speak, but quietly read the law. Here the laws are public, even printed by the state. Perhaps this is one of the few advantages of Legalism.

After reading the legal provisions, Chang Lin suddenly sighed, "This law is really strict. This legalist idea is to keep the common people in captivity like pigs and dogs! Such a law is really...too harsh. .”

The surrounding guards all agreed, and they all said: The people of Liu Guo are really pitiful. But then everyone began to think that the young master seemed to be looking for talents from the Legalist school, and would this be the case in Anyang in the future? I heard that the young master likes a so-called "standardization" very much.

"What are you thinking about, take a rest, and you will be busy tomorrow!"

Chang Lin drove away the guards around him, but he was worried that the legalist thinking was too extreme. Only three kinds of people are allowed to exist in the whole country, but in the end everything is concentrated on the emperor alone, making the whole country into a private paradise exclusive to the emperor.

The next day, Chang Lin met Liu Guo's prime minister again; to be precise, Liu Guo's prime minister took the initiative to visit. This really made Chang Lin a little flattered and "surprised". There is a saying that is good: if you don't have anything to show gallantry, you can either rape or steal. The prime minister actually came to visit, there must be some request.

Sure enough, the first sentence of the meeting, Liu Guo's prime minister said, I want to follow you to Anyang to see.

Want to visit Anyang? Chang Lin frowned a little, not knowing what the prime minister was up to. But the two sides want to cooperate, so it is normal for Liu Guo to send someone to Anyang to have a look, and Chang Lin has no reason to refuse.

This purpose was determined, Prime Minister Liu Guo immediately smiled, "General Chang, I will trouble you from now on. Also, my humble Han Yuanchang, you can just call me by my name."

"Then I won't be polite. I wonder when you are going to leave?"

"How about tomorrow? I'm going to prepare a little gift today."

"good."
