Chapter 51: Simon Wentian

Qin Chuan understood the truths that Wang Jizong said, and he also understood the truth that speaking and doing are different.

But Wang Jizong finally came to surrender, so he had to act like a gesture, let Wang Jizong perform, and then he looked like he suddenly realized.

He is a later generation, knows the historical trend, and roughly knows what changes will happen in a certain period of time in the future, and of course he knows what to do in the future.

What is commendable is that Wang Jizong, a native and a poor scholar, had a strategic vision that was almost the same as him.

He was right. He should restrain himself from many parties, take advantage of the situation and take over the Luliang Mountains, but he should not expand outward blindly and act rudely. He should not anger the court before he does not have enough strength, so as not to overwhelm the army.

Qin Chuan is not a bandit. He can escape if he is beaten, but he is a wealthy man with a territory and a family business. He cannot leave his family business and escape. He must try his best to avoid being beaten.

The land of Luliang mentioned by Wang Jizong refers to a triangular territory that starts from Ninghua's guarded Qianhushou in the north, reaches Fangshan Fort in the west, and reaches Luyukou in the east. The main areas are Jingle County and Lan County, which also occupy part of the territory of Lin County and Jiaocheng.

This land is located in the hinterland of the Luliang Mountains. To the north is Luya Mountain, the branch of the Luliang Mountains, to the east is Yunzhong Mountain, and to the south is Guandi Mountain. There are only three roads to enter and exit. Surrounded by mountains, it is an easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Qin Chuan's strategy is similar to what Wang Jizong said. First control this territory and build an old nest. When the strength is not enough, you cannot go out to wander casually. First, shrink into the Luliang Mountains to develop lewdly, and at most, you can go out occasionally to rob and supplement your family.

With a consistent strategic vision, Qin Chuan and Wang Jizong had a very speculative conversation, and he found that this poor scholar knew a lot, from politics, law, agriculture, iron smelting, animal husbandry to military, even astronomy, geography, geographic feng shui, etc., almost everything.

After asking, it turned out that Wang Jizong was not a traditional Confucian student, but was versatile and learned everything. In addition to the four subjects of Confucius, he also studied other nine-rate knowledge such as the Legalists, Mohists, Zonghengists, Yin-Yangists and Farmers. In addition to studying under Mr. Xiling, he also went to the capital and Liudu to study with Xu Guangqi, Huang Daozhou, Dong Qichang and others.

When Qin Chuan heard the name Xu Guangqi, he suddenly remembered two things, one was artillery, the other was new food such as potatoes and corn.

He wanted both of these things.

Immediately, Qin Chuan asked, "Sir, did you ask Xu... Paul for advice on how to make artillery when he was studying? Also, have you heard him mention the food species introduced by the Red-haired Yi people?"

Wang Jizong was slightly stunned, then stroked his short beard and smiled, "The big manager, the art of making cannons is a secret of the court. Jizong is just a mere common man. How could Mr. Xuan Hu teach it easily?"

When Qin Chuan heard this, he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

"However, the great manager not only knows that the crops of the Nayi people have also been cultivated."

"Oh? What do you have?" Qin Chuan became interested.

"One is taro, the other is jade wheat, and the third is sweet potato. When I was studying at Mr. Xuanhu, my husband recommended this type of crop to me and gave Jizong two stones of good seeds. After Jizong returned home, he tried to plant a few acres. The harvest was quite good. During a severe drought, the yield per mu could reach four or five stones, and then he would rotate it with wheat, soybeans, etc., which would achieve the effect of harvesting for three seasons in two years."

Speaking of this, Wang Jizong suddenly sighed and said, "Oh, what I sowed this year is winter wheat. There were originally several stone stalk taro and jade wheat seeds in my family. I wanted to bring them to sow potato and jade wheat after harvesting winter wheat every year. I never thought that the guy from Bashan tiger turned my Wang family upside down and all the seeds were taken away by that guy. I am afraid that now it has become the food of those foolish thieves. It's a pity that those few stones are selected for good quality."

Hearing this, Qin Chuan suddenly realized and sighed helplessly.

The taro that Wang Jizong mentioned should be potatoes, jade wheat is corn, and sweet potatoes are sweet potatoes. I thought I had to spend some time looking for these seeds, but I didn’t expect that Wang Jizong’s family originally had them.

"Don't worry, great manager." Wang Jizong smiled indifferently again, "These crops are not rare. Mr. Xuan Hu still exists in the capital. There are many enlightened people in Shuntian Prefecture who try to cultivate. There are countless people going to Huguang area. I will wait to write a letter and send some silver to Shuntian. I will transport it back soon."

"Okay, okay, then I'll be there." Qin Chuan patted his thigh and smiled.

"The big manager doesn't need to be polite, Jizong's affairs are just for his own affairs."

The two were chatting enthusiastically, while Song Zhiting sat alone next to him and drank tea leisurely, only laughing a few times from time to time.

He knew how much he had, and he was not his specialty and was not his favorite, and he was busy dealing with matters inside and outside Mengjiazhuang, so he was so busy that he almost stopped doing it.

In his life, he was just like painting ink and painting. He lost his reputation at that time because of this one. Later, he was deceived by the boss to go to Jiuji Mountain to become a military advisor in the village. He had no worries about food and drink, and he also spent a lot of time painting every day. He was free and happy, and he had already thrown away things like fame, wealth and wealth.

Now that Wang Jizong is coming to share the work, he is too happy and is eager to throw everything to Wang Jizong and then play with his paintings and ink paintings.

Even so, Wang Jizong was still a little worried and dared not talk loudly. He sometimes asked Song Zhiting for tea.

After all, Song Zhiting is Qin Chuan's military advisor, so he is equivalent to robbing someone's job, so he said the four words "admiring the last seat" to show that he has no desire to fight for power.

Qin Chuan had already seen it, but he just didn't point it out.

As we chatted, we accidentally talked about the two shops in the county town. When we knew that Qin Chuan was worried about the shopkeeper, Wang Jizong took the initiative to recommend a person. His classmate and friend had a very domineering name, Luo Wentian. His home is in Jingle County. Because of his fun and love to make friends from all over the world, his studies were abandoned. He failed to pass the state exam twice, and he couldn't even make a scholar.

Later, Luo Wentian simply stopped taking the exam and served as a accountant for the Wu family, a wealthy family in Jingle, and his life was very prosperous.

But Luo Wentian is not only funny by nature, but also romantic, but he has a good skin. He often appears in the tramp, but he actually hooks up with the second lady of the Wu family. He was caught and raped by Mr. Wu in the bed and almost beat him to death.

The Wu family is a wealthy family, while Luo Wentian is just a small family. He has a wife and a child at home. Of course, the Wu family cannot marry the second lady to him as a concubine.

So, Luo Wentian was shot out of the Wu family. Not only did he lose his job, he almost couldn't stay in the county town. As long as he walked on the street, he was seen by the Wu family's servants' guards, he would beat him up and beheaded, and his nose was blue and swollen every few days.

Later, the teacher who was still far away in Taiyuan couldn't stand it and spoke, and the Wu family gave up.

But since then, Luo Wentian has been unemployed at home. No matter whether he is a shop or a businessman or a child hired a husband at home, he dared not invite him, for fear that he would hook his wife and daughter.

His wife was rolled every day and kept talking. In anger, she took the child back to her parents' home. Luo Wentian rushed to beg, but was driven out of the house by his father-in-law and threw him a divorce letter.

From then on, Luo Wentian became a laughing stock in the local area, and his parents were so angry that they almost drove him out of the house.

Wang Jizong guessed that he was worried about his job at this moment because his parents were old and had little land at home, and the harvest was small every year. Not long ago, Wang Jizong sent someone to help him.

After hearing Wang Jizong's words, Qin Chuan rubbed the rough and hard bearded scum on his chin and was a little hesitant.

This guy is Ximen Qing. He must have snatched a few beautiful women back to be the wife of the village. What if he gets green?
