Chapter 695: Master Pan
Taishi Pan laughed, who doesn't know that you are in a high position in the Song Dynasty, your words are out, few people dare to object, if you agree to dig the canal, this canal will definitely be able to be dug successfully, everything, it is all up to Taishi Pan, of course, as long as Taishi Pan is willing to do his best, no
Whether things are successful or not, these are all small gifts from our Tang Kingdom to the Taishi. ”
Zhuge Kongming is very good at talking, he knows very well that as long as Pan Renmei accepts his gift, then Pan Renmei will have to do something for him.
People, that's what they look like, they take other people's money and don't want to contribute, then the consequences are only very serious.
Zhuge Kongming didn't need to get any promise from Pan Renmei, he just needed to let Pan Renmei accept the gift.
And after Pan Renmei heard Zhuge Kongming's words, a slight smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she said: "The excavation of the canal is indeed helpful to us in the Tang and Song dynasties, but this Taishi can only help you talk about it in the court, but there is no absolute certainty." ”
Zhuge Kongming nodded and said, "This is natural, as long as Master Pan is willing to help." ”
"Well said, well said."
After the two of them finished saying this, Zhuge Kongming felt that it was almost there, so he got up and said goodbye.
As soon as Zhuge Kongming left Pan Renmei's mansion, Pan Renmei couldn't wait to rush towards the boxes of gold, silver and jewelry.
"Mine, it's all my ......"
Pan Renmei is a military general, but he is famous for being greedy for money, he likes money too much, he doesn't seem to have any other hobbies, he just likes money.
Zhuge Kongming sent so much money at once, to be honest, Pan Renmei really liked it, she liked it very much.
And when Pan Renmei kept playing with those gold, silver and jewelry, he began to think about how to persuade them to dig the canal by the emperor and the ministers of the Song Kingdom.
He accepted Zhuge Kongming's money, so naturally he wanted to help Zhuge Kongming do things.
"There you have it, you have ......"
The next morning, the main hall was no different from usual, and everyone discussed the affairs of the court and China, or supported or quarreled, and so on.
The quarrel was almost over, and Pan Renmei suddenly stood up: "Holy Lord, after the minister went back, after thinking about it, I felt that this canal was still well dug." ”
Suddenly, Pan Renmei stood up and said such a thing, everyone was a little surprised, a little surprised, didn't you already say it the day before yesterday, this canal is not dug up, why did Pan Renmei stand up at this time and say that it was dug again?
"Holy Lord, don't dig it, if it is dug up, the Tang Kingdom will attack our Song Kingdom."
"That is, that is, after the excavation, it will not be of any benefit to our Song Kingdom, we can't do it, we can't do it."
“…………”
There were a lot of voices in the court, Pan Renmei stood on the top of the main hall, but he was not in a hurry, he glanced at Song Yuanlang, and after everyone else said about it, he finally spoke and asked: "Holy Lord, how does the military strength of my Song State compare with the military strength of the Tang State?" ”
Seeing Pan Renmei ask this question, Song Yuanlang's face was faintly ugly.
But there is nothing difficult to answer this question.
"The strength of my Song Kingdom is naturally inferior to that of the Tang State, I heard that the Tang Kingdom has some thunder, and the power is even greater, in this case, our Song State is not the opponent of the Tang State."
Admitting that his country is inferior to other countries is a very shameful thing for a monarch, but Song Yuanlang still said it, because he didn't seem to have any other better choice.
It should be said that it is still necessary to say, their Song Kingdom is not as good as the Tang Kingdom.
Pan Renmei nodded: "Then the saint, how does the economy of my Song Kingdom compare with the economy of the Tang Kingdom?" ”
Pan Renmei asked again, at this time, whether it was the ministers of Song Guoqun or Song Yuanlang, they all didn't understand what Pan Renmei meant, what did he want to do?
Could it be that he was comparing the wealth and strength of the two, and then persuaded them to accept Tang's demands?
In that case, it would be a waste of time.
Song Yuanlang was already a little impatient, he frowned, and said: "The Tang Kingdom is vast and very rich, although my Song Kingdom is also very good, compared with the Tang Kingdom, it is still a little worse. ”
Speaking of this, Song Yuanlang finally couldn't help it a little and asked, "Pan Aiqing, what do you mean by asking this?" ”
Pan Renmei said: "Shengshang, since our military strength is not the opponent of the Tang State, and the economy cannot compare to them, then if our Song State wants to destroy the Tang State, then what will we do, and what chance will we have to destroy the Tang State?" ”
This question is difficult to answer, destroying the Tang Kingdom is something that many of them have thought about, but how to destroy the Tang Kingdom is something they have not come up with.
They themselves didn't know how to destroy the Tang Kingdom, which was like a high mountain, a high mountain that they would never be able to climb.
How can they climb such a high mountain?
No, they don't have an answer.
Everyone talked about it, and everyone also turned their eyes to Pan Renmei, Pan Renmei said: "Saint, Tang Kingdom is a mountain, we can't climb it, unless the mountain collapses by itself." ”
"Collapsed by yourself, what does Pan Aiqing mean?" Song Yuanlang more or less heard a little meaning.
At this time, Pan Renmei continued: "Holy Lord, the Tang Kingdom is very powerful, if we want to destroy them, we can only let them collapse the Tang Kingdom itself, and how can we make the Tang Kingdom collapse by itself?" ”
When she said this, Pan Renmei paused slightly, but the ministers in the court and the central government all held their breath, although some people had already guessed a little, but they still had to listen to Pan Renmei. "It's very simple, let them dig canals, the five major water systems are connected together, the manpower and material resources required are only immeasurable, do the Tang countries have so much money to dig canals, even if they have so much money to dig canals, but use this money, do they still have money to fight, their manpower is digging canals, do they have soldiers and horses to replenish? Shengshang, digging a canal, working hard and losing money, will drag down the Tang Kingdom, as long as the Tang Kingdom collapses, won't our Song Kingdom have a chance? ”
Pan Renmei said his thoughts in one breath, and after he said this, everyone suddenly had a feeling of empowerment, yes, to consume the Tang Kingdom through the excavation of the canal, isn't it a very beneficial thing for them to the Song Kingdom?
They didn't want to dig the canal, just to prevent the Tang State from destroying them, but it would take many years to dig the canal, even if the Tang State really dug it, it would be very poor, in this case, the Tang State would have no energy to use troops against the Song State.
This is definitely a very beneficial thing for their Song Kingdom. Song Kuangyi stood on top of the main hall, his eyebrows moving slightly.
