Chapter Twenty-Five: The Caravan of the Old Wang's Family
After Meng Tian saw the content of the letter, he couldn't help but be a little surprised in his eyes, and seemed to have some doubts that the kid in front of him could come up with such a solution, puzzled and a little surprised at the same time, and said, "This method was come up with by the kid?" ”
Wang Li's face was light, and he said: "Uncle Meng Tian, it's just a trivial matter, not worth mentioning......"
Meng Tian knew what this kid was going to say next, so he immediately interrupted and judged: "If this plan can be implemented, it must be a strange plot in the world, and it should be a great contribution to the end of my Great Qin and the suffering of the Huns." ”
Before Meng Tian finished speaking, he deliberately paused and looked at Wang Li in a daze.
Wang Li listened to Meng Tian's pertinent evaluation, and was naturally extremely happy, and said: "Uncle Meng Tian, there shouldn't be any big problem with this grain matter, if the small Xiongnu tribe over there is really starved to death, then it will be extremely difficult to break into the Xiongnu tribe next time." ”
Listening to Wang Li's words, Meng Tian nodded from time to time, but his face showed a heavy look, he still knew Wang Li's urine, if he didn't tell this kid the truth, maybe something would happen to this kid. Even if Wang Li went to Zhang Yun to grab food in a hurry, Meng Tian would not feel anything strange.
Said: "Wang Li, it's not that the old man doesn't support your decision, but this year's world is in a great drought, and the harvest in many places is bleak, and the grain is not available at all, after all, the grain is not like the white salt you make up, it can be made in an instant." It still takes time for the grain to grow. ”
"So there's really no way to allocate food to you, and you don't have to go elsewhere to make ideas, if you go and get other people's food, then they won't have enough to eat."
Meng Tian still didn't worry about Wang Li, for fear that this kid would do something, so he reminded him again.
Wang Li looked at Meng Tian with disdain, feeling that Meng Tian had mistaken himself, he was that kind of person.
However, Wang Li knew that now was not the time to talk about this, if there was no food supply, then the great policy he had set against Hungary might be in vain, and he couldn't help but feel a pang of grief in his heart.
asked: "Uncle Meng Tian, then should I call Li Shang back, if there is no food, Li Shang's kid is also weird, and he won't do anything big over there; That kid is also a talent, so instead of letting him stay over there, it is better to call him back and do something. ”
After Meng Tian heard that Wang Li was leaving, his eyes widened, and he said: "You kid insist on doing this thing, if you don't continue to do it, believe it or not, the old man will let you stay here for another ten years." ”
From the time he saw that letter, Meng Tian had a keen eye to perceive the unusual nature of this matter, if this matter was successful, the possible benefits would be unimaginable, and now listening to Wang Li's withdrawal, how can this be done.
And Wang Li listened to the change in the wind of Meng Tian's words, and he couldn't turn around for a while, he didn't give himself food, he had to let himself work, the key was to threaten himself, this is what people do.
said: "Uncle Meng Tian, it's not that I don't do this, it's that I don't have food, I can't watch Li Shang starve to death over there, or don't do it." ”
Meng Tian glared at him again and said, "The old man doesn't care about this, as long as you kid don't touch the food in the army, whether you go to exchange it or sell it, you will definitely send the food to that kid." A small tribe, how much grain can it eat, the most important thing is that this time the old man will send someone to transport grain and grass with him, and see if that Xiongnu tribe has the potential to do this great work for my Great Qin......"
Meng Tian's tirade, Wang Li did not listen carefully, but focused on the words sell and exchange.
Thinking about it carefully, since he improved the salt-making process, under the leadership of Lynch, he has worked overtime, and now there is some surplus salt in the entire military camp, but I don't know if I can use that salt to exchange for food now, this world has just been unified for eight years, and the real food is actually in the hands of those clans.
Wanting to get food from those stubborn clans is tantamount to a fool's dream, so the only way to change it is to exchange it, and at present, in his own hands, I am afraid that the only thing that can interest those clans is white salt.
The more Wang Li thought about it, the happier he became, he finally had a way, if he had thought of this method earlier, he would have come to Meng Tian to do anything.
Meng Tian saw the light in Wang Li's eyes, and his heart couldn't help but become vigilant, and said, "What do you kid want to do." ”
For Meng Tian, Wang Li still trusts him, and said directly: "Uncle Meng Tian, don't we have a lot of salt in our hands now, I plan to set up a caravan to exchange Yang for a little food and come back, do you think it's okay?" ”
Looking at the extremely heavy expression on Meng Tian's face, Wang Li panicked inexplicably, for fear that Meng Tian would say a word, and was already slowly thinking about what to do if Meng Tian didn't agree.
But after a while, Meng Tian slowly spit out a word in his mouth, and said at the same time: "When your caravan departs, I will send someone to follow you, but you kid must remember that if this thing is messed up, the old man will let you stay here all the time, don't think about going back to Xianyang." ”
Facing Meng Tian's threat, Wang Li had long been accustomed to it, and withdrew from the handsome account with a smile and went to find Li Zhi.
said: "Li Zhi, General Ben has a big thing for you to do, I don't know if you want to." ”
Li Zhi's face showed surprise, this was the first time he had heard the word "big thing" from his son-in-law's mouth.
Heartily: "Whatever Childe asks me to do, I'll just do it." ”
Wang Li's eyes were full of appreciation, he really won the hearts of the people, and said: "It's not a big deal, I just want you to bring some people to exchange salt for some food, and then send them to Li Shang together." ”
After hearing the words "exchanging salt for food", Li Zhi immediately changed his face and said: "Childe, this matter is not the villain's reluctance to go, if the villain goes, there will be no one around the villain, and the villain is not at ease, there are many people on the child's side, or choose a new one to replace the villain." ”
Li Zhi understood tightly in his heart, that salt is the important weapon of the country, and it cannot be smuggled, if you don't find out, you won't be able to eat it, so you will go around.
Wang Li looked at Li Zhi, who was changing quickly, and wondered a little, didn't he look loyal and brave just now, how could he suddenly become a human.
Immediately a little unhappy, squirted: "You kid don't give me so much, if you kid dares not go, I'll break your dog's legs." ”
"General Meng Tian has already agreed, I have also thought of the name, and I have found a person for you, you can go quickly, and then if you arrive in Pengchengpei County, you will bring Liu Bang and Xiao He to me together."
Hearing Wang Li's full preparation, Li Zhong was about to cry when he was moved, and asked with a sad face, "What's your name?" ”
Wang Li responded sonorously: "The old Wang family caravan ......"
