Ever since they had left Zuo Feng's place, Yang Lin had brought his brothers, along with his two strategists Xin Ping and Xin Pi to the taiwai's Palace. At this time, the taiwai's Palace was already brightly lit, and Wang Yun and a few of his strategists were anxiously waiting. After meeting each other, everyone greeted each other and sat down.
This was the first time Yang Lin brought his brothers to attend a feast in the official residence. Under the flickering candlelight, all the guests were brimming with energy, their faces brimming with excitement. People were talking to each other, talking to each other, bursting into laughter.
The welcoming banquet in the taiwai Residence was indeed luxurious. The Lunan was a rich place, there were many Wealthy Classes, and the entertainment industry was also very developed. Wang Yun had invited a few kabuki that were extremely beautiful, this fellow had good taste in picking pretty girls, I really don't know where he obtained them from.
The main character in the banquet was neither the Arrowhead of Henan Province nor the King's End. Instead, it was the renowned talented youth, Kong Rong. As an arrogant scholar, Kong Rong unrestrainedly showed off his skills, not caring about anyone's feelings.
When everyone's attention was focused on Kong Rong, Yang Lin buried his head and wiped out the dishes in front of him. The food that Wang Yun had arranged was very sumptuous, but they were all big fish and big meat. Due to lack of seasonings, their cooking level was limited, which was still far from what Yang Lin had requested.
The thing that made Yang Lin deeply moved was that the taiwai Palace's feast was split into two tables. Each of them had a plate in front of them, and each of them had their own food to eat. How could such a fine tradition of our ancestors, so early in life, be lost to our ancestors when it was both civilized and hygienic?
There was something that Yang Lin was not used to, it was that the table in front of him was too short, there was no chair, and there was only a cushion, and all the guests were sitting on it while kneeling, which made Yang Lin very uncomfortable. He was still used to eating at the high tables and low stools, and it was better to abandon the way the low tables were kneeling.
What he didn't like the most was the wine at this time. It was produced by a family workshop and not only was the quantity of the liquor low, it was also turbid and had an extremely poor taste. Although Yang Lin had drank it many times, he still could not adapt to it.
It was unknown when the banquet's topic had begun to talk about the current chaos in the yellow cloth, but of course, everyone kept scolding decathlon, blaming the chaos on the power of the eunuchs. When they spoke excitedly, they were even more furious, and wished that they could hack these eunuchs into a thousand pieces, as if killing the decathlon would bring peace to the world.
"Lord Commander, the power of the decathlon over all, provoking chaos and annihilation of all lives and spirits. Everyone thought that as long as they killed decathlon, the world would be at peace.
Just as Yang Lin was busy eating and drinking, Wang Yun had been paying attention to him. He realised that from the moment Yang Lin entered the banquet hall, other than greeting and laughing with everyone, Yang Lin did not say a single proper word. Seeing that everyone was talking about the chaotic matter, they intentionally brought up the topic of conversation with the decathlon, found an opportunity, and asked Yang Lin by name.
"Oh …"
Yang Lin raised his head, he glanced at everyone and realized that everyone was staring at him, and immediately understood what Wang Yun was trying to do. He was trying to force himself to draw a clear line between himself and the Eunuch. No matter what he said here, it would definitely become the center of discussion tomorrow. If he didn't become the enemy of the Eunuch, he would become the enemy of the court officials.
This Wang Yun is really insidious, I can't let you be a spear wielder! Yang Lin's mind started to spin faster. There had to be a scapegoat for the incident that happened with the yellow cloth, who would be the scapegoat for this? Only then would he not offend the eunuchs, not the courtiers, and even the Emperor would be happy.
"My lords, as a result of my foolish views, natural disasters have occurred frequently since the beginning of the year, drought, floods, locust disasters have occurred continuously for many years. Furthermore, there was the plague, which allowed Zhang Jiao to take the opportunity to bewitch the refugees into causing trouble. As long as we eliminate the evil and settle down the displaced refugees, the chaos will immediately be resolved. "
It wasn't easy for Yang Lin to finish his piece, so he quickly took a sip of wine. Hurry up and comfort that frightened heart. Good heavens, this isn't something to be happy about. No one would be able to get what they wanted if they angered him. It truly wasn't easy. Don't interact with these schemers too much in the future, and don't let them sell you out.
"Hehe, Lord Commander is truly brilliant. According to the Lord Commander, as long as Zhang Jiao was eliminated, the chaos would be resolved immediately. But after calming down the chaos, will the world be at peace? "
Wang Yun saw that Yang Lin had talked for a long time and actually pushed the responsibility of the Yellow Turbine onto the heavens. He didn't know if Yang Lin was truly blaming the heavens or if he was intentionally avoiding this sensitive topic. No matter what, Yang Lin had to make a choice between eunuchs and court officials today.
Of course, Yang Lin understood Wang Yun's intentions, he knew that he was just a small fry right now, what Wang Yun valued was no more than strong force, he wanted to pull him into his camp. If he stood by the eunuch's side or displayed a tactful attitude, Wang Yun and the group of scribe would definitely look down on him.
"The current level of agricultural production is far from meeting the living needs of the people, much less resisting the invasion of natural disasters. Therefore, in the event of a huge natural disaster, there would still be people who would get up and stir up trouble. Even if we eliminate Zhang Jiao, there will still be Li Jiao and Wang Jiao. As long as there are still refugees who starve to death in the world, there will not be absolute peace in the world. "
"Oh …"
Wang Yun's eyes widened in shock. In his world view, as long as the Emperor has virtue, the ministers would work hard and the world would be peaceful. On the other hand, only with the King's disgrace and the neglect of government by the ministers would the world be in turmoil. As long as these eunuchs and treacherous officials were wiped out, the world would return to peace and tranquility once more.
Yang Lin shook his head, his expression as heavy as his mood. This was the difference in knowledge. The peace that Wang Yun wanted was for the The people of the world to be like a horse and an ox, to starve to death and to unconditionally obey the rule of the imperial government. And Yang Lin's meaning was exactly the opposite.
If you want to live under the heavens for a long time, you need to continuously raise the level of your agricultural production, produce more food and clothes, and let the The people of the world eat their fill and wear their warm clothes, so that the farmers have their own land, the inhabitants have their own houses, and the citizens will also come and make trouble?
Only now did Wang Yun seriously think about what Yang Lin had said. He felt that Yang Lin's words made a lot of sense. Initially, he had suspected that Yang Lin was avoiding denouncing and accusing the eunuchs, as he did not dare to offend the eunuchs. But now, he realized that Yang Lin truly had that thought in mind, and couldn't help but become curious.
"Lord Commander, how can I raise the level of agricultural production?"
At this time, Yang Lin revealed a slight smile, and finally changed the topic. As a modern man, although he wasn't an expert in agriculture, he still knew a bit about increasing the production level of agriculture. It shouldn't be a problem to hoodwink such an ancient person.
"It's about mobilizing the power of the nation, and everybody's going to think about it. "For example, developing water conservancy, breeding improved seeds, reforming farm tools, meticulously farming, reasonable fertilization, and so on, in order to improve the ability of agricultural production to resist natural disasters, and at the same time vigorously developing doctors to protect against diseases and plagues."
Everyone present looked at Yang Lin in absolute silence. Even Wang Yun's face revealed a shocked expression. In their minds, those who were so talented, were either like Kong Rong, who knew how to fill in poems or were like Zhang Liang, who was able to settle down and rule the country and settle down, who would bother about farming?
"Lord Commander is truly a considerate person, no wonder you need so many captives. It turns out you want to use this opportunity to place these refugees in order to prevent them from getting into trouble again. This is truly admirable, This Official will definitely support you. I will give you all the village bravery and grain you requested, in addition, I have decided to give you fifty thousand yuan worth of grain as a reward to the soldiers participating in the Peng Tuo extermination. "
"Thank you Lord Wang."
It had to be said that Wang Yun was indeed a loyal subject, and a brave man who dared to take responsibility for it. Once he understood Yang Lin's intentions, a knowing smile immediately appeared on his face. He would never mention anything about a eunuch again and he was even sincerely preparing to help Yang Lin.
After the feast, The King of Rennan accompanied Yang Lin to cavalry of Youzhou's camp. The female cavalry soldiers had already followed cavalry of Youzhou to the camp. The King of Rennan was here to pick up his two precious daughters, Wang Ping and Wang Ling, to go home.
Seeing Wang Zhiqiang, Wang Ping and Wang Ling, the two little girls, quickly ran over and hugged his arms. Wang Zhiqiang was so happy that he laughed out loud. However, when Wang Zhiqiang brought them home, the two sisters seemed to hesitate.
"What is it? Don't you want to see your mother? "
When the two little girls heard that they were going to see their mother, they had no choice but to follow Wang Zhiqiang. However, from time to time, they would turn around and look at Yang Lin and their sisters. It was unknown if Wang Ping and Wang Ling were unwilling to part with their sisters, or their Lord Commander s.
Everyone returned to their tents to rest, and the camp immediately fell silent. Just as Yang Lin was preparing to rest, Zheng Wei suddenly barged in. This was the first time they had met since Yang Lin led the cavalry to chase after Bo Cai, Yang Lin did not know what to say, and immediately invited her to sit.
"Lord Commander, I'm here to confess my crimes."
"Oh, what are you guilty of?"
Of course, Yang Lin understood what she was trying to say, but Yang Lin did not plan to pursue the matter. Although Zheng Wei had secretly mobilized the troops, it was understandable, not only did she win the battle, he even recruited Xin Ping and Xin Pi as strategists, which was also for a greater contribution than the last.
"Lord Commander, I sent troops without your permission, I hope Lord Commander can punish me."
"This is indeed a great sin. I must think carefully about how I should punish you."
Yang Lin couldn't help but feel intoxicated when he saw Zheng Wei sitting there. Waves of light winds blew by, and under the flickering of the candle, Zheng Wei sat there quietly, with a serious face as he looked at Yang Lin, but when she saw him smile, she could not help but bury his head in front of his chest.
"I've thought about it, I should spank you!"
Yang Lin slowly walked over and sat down beside her, and started admiring her slim figure, only to see her standing tall and perky, making others want to hug her. Yang Lin had originally drank a few cups of wine, but he was already somewhat excited in his heart. Seeing this young girl's beautiful figure, he finally couldn't resist and reached out to embrace her.
