Chapter 214 Wolf and Dog
After telling Li Guangyan that this matter was settled, as Sun Yue expected, he was soon received by Li Yixing.
Li Yixing is not young this year. He should be sixty in a few years. He should be about the same as Wang Quanbin. He may not have retired in the 21st century, but at this time he is a standard old man. He has a white hair and is meticulously combed. He even wears the full set of official uniforms and ceremonial guards when they were awarded the Tang Dynasty to show his importance to him.
Well, although it's actually out of date. Over the years, the clothing style of the Central Plains has changed a long time ago, but the focus of etiquette is not good. Just look back and remind the court and give them a new set of items.
"My nephew told me that the Song Dynasty planned to redevelop the Hexi Corridor and wanted our Dangxiang clan to be the vicious guardian dog of the Song Dynasty."
Sun Yue was stunned and hurriedly said, "What did the Jiedushi say? I misunderstood. I misunderstood. I am just a mutual benefit in cooperation and win-win situations. How can I say it so ugly?"
Li Yixing smiled disdainfully and said, "It's okay to fool my stupid nephew by saying this. My old man ate more salt than you eat. I can see at a glance what you think. Dangxiang people without a city are hungry wolves running on the grassland. Although they sleep in the wind and often endure hunger, they even have to fear lions and tigers. If we all live in the city, sooner or later, we will become guard dogs."
Sun Yue was a little confused for a moment, but when he thought about it, he realized that the old guy was bargaining with him. If he was really not interested in cement city building, he would never be able to meet him at all, let alone meet him so grandly.
Thinking of this, Sun Yue smiled and said, "Is there anything wrong with being a dog?"
Li Yixing suddenly looked up and stared at him coldly. The old man killed countless people in his life. He is now the nominal leader of Dangxiang, and his evil spirit is almost as good as Wang Quanbin.
"Mr. Jiedushi thinks it is better to be a wolf or a dog?"
"I only know that wolf eats meat through a thousand miles of road, and dog eats shit through a thousand miles of road."
"Haha, then the Jiedushi told me how many wolves and how many dogs are there in the entire Dingnan Five Prefectures? If wolves are really superior to dogs, why have you never seen a dog since you were a child, but every household has a dog? Who says it is not an evolution to a wolf?
Li Yixing was stunned. However, he had never heard of such a fallacy. He only felt that it was extremely absurd, but he didn't know how to refute it for a moment.
"Wolf, although the scenery is very glorious, in fact, it is just the leader wolf. Most of the wolves are hungry for most of their lives. They have to sacrifice their lives to fight for food in one bite. Is this kind of life really better than a dog?"
"But the wolf has dignity."
"Of course, of course, there is no doubt that wolves have dignity than dogs, but this is something that only the head wolf cares about. If the head wolf cannot let its wolf grandson live a good life, then he will talk about dignity with shamelessness. Isn't it a bit unfair to do his job?"
Li Yixing glared at the eyes, and almost substantial murderous aura came to his face: "Boy is so brave!! Are you not afraid that you can't get out of Xiazhou City by yourself?"
"If I can't get out of Xiazhou, the first one to fight you may not be Da Song, but your good nephew."
"you……"
Sun Yue had already figured it out. Li Yixing was strong on the outside and was not afraid of him at all. The biggest difference between nomadic people and agricultural civilization is that it does not have a sound set of legal systems as the basis for the existence of social order. The so-called rulers rely more on their own personal prestige.
If the Dangxiang people knew that their chance to live a good life was ruined by their own leader, how could this old man convince the public? You should know that Li Guangyan already knew about this and was extremely enthusiastic. You should also know that Li Yixing was not his nephew Li Jiqian, and that prestige was just that among the Dangxiang people.
The five prefectures of Dingnan are naturally nominally all of them belong to Li Yixing’s Jiedu, but that’s not just nominally. The decision you made is in line with the interests of the entire Dangxiang. You are the co-leader of the Dangxiang. Otherwise, you are just an old man. Do you really think Li Guangyan dare not beat him, his uncle?
Li Yixing might be able to see Sun Yue's sinister intentions, or he might not be willing to accept it, but what's the use? Unless he can make all four other powerful figures in the Five Continents of Dingnan accept it, unless he can make all the Dangxiang tribes agree with it, he is the whimsical one.
Seeing that Sun Yue seemed to have killed himself, Li Yixing glared at him for two or three minutes. Sun Yue should drink tea, eat snacks and snacks, and calmly. Finally, the dying old man sighed helplessly and said, "What a great national scholar, alas! I'm old, in the future, the world will belong to you young people. Whether it's better, I agree to this matter, but this price... Do you think it can be cheaper? In the bitter and cold land in the northwest, there are no dense rain or grass or fat, and there are not many horses."
Sun Yue smiled and said, "It's okay. In fact, from a geographical point of view, it is more convenient for us to build Yinzhou. If you have difficulties, let's help repair Yinzhou first."
Li Yixing looked bitter. He was already at this age, but in fact he had a good life in a few years. If Yinzhou first built a city that was even more magnificent than Xiazhou, when he left the world, would his son still bear the title of the governor of Dingnan Army?
"Well, I will follow the price of Yinzhou. I can take out all 50,000 horses, but I want to build Xiazhou first. Xiazhou city does not need to be built. I want to build four Xiazhou roads to Yin, Sui, Yu and Jing, and then connect the surroundings to each other. First build the road and then build the city."
Sun Yuele's eyes narrowed into a line, fifty thousand horses! How important this is for the Song Dynasty. He said happily: "Yes, no problem, no problem, then this matter is decided. If you prepare a horse, I will write a letter to my father and ask him to arrange someone to come here to construct."
Li Yixing suddenly spoke, "There is something I want to remind Mr. Sun."
"Don't dare to take it, you said."
"This watchdog is indeed more obedient than a wolf. If you give it a piece of flesh and bone, he can wag his tail and have fun for a long time. If anyone comes to the door, he may not be able to beat the wolf. However, if this dog is not full and hungry, no matter how good the watchdog is, it will bite the owner."
Sun Yue smiled and said with a smile: "I am twelve years old this year, and I have at least forty years to live. Then at least forty years, I promise that Dangxiang will not go hungry."
