Turbulent Times Chapter 1420: Water can carry a boat, but it can also overturn it

Fanyang County City, Qin'an Prince's Mansion.

Wang Junlin smiled and said: "Mr. Wei has worked hard all the way to the east."

After saluting respectfully, Wei Zheng said, "Thousands of miles away are nothing compared to what I saw and heard in Fanyang County, not to mention being able to see such a wise master as Wang Ye, it is really worthwhile for me to travel here. "

Wang Junlin felt inexplicably comfortable when he heard Wei Zheng, who was famous for his poisonous mouth, praise himself in later generations. In the midst of the fire and water, if Mr. Wei likes my Fanyang County, he might as well live in Fanyang County permanently, as a great talent like Mr. who can help the world and govern the country, this king is eager to seek talents, so I will entrust him with a heavy responsibility."

Wei Zheng was naturally ecstatic in his heart, but he became more and more startled and uncertain. He hesitated for a while, and then asked out his doubts: "My lord, I am just a small official in Wu'an County. My lord thinks highly of me, and I feel very sorry for him." Uneasy, please ask the prince to clarify."

Wang Junlin smiled and said: "To tell you the truth, Mr. Wei, I have been looking for talent recently, and I just need a man with a thousand gold. Unexpectedly, Mr. Wei took the initiative to send it to my door. Of course, with the powerful intelligence capabilities of our Far East Army, Mr. Wei After entering Fanyang County, he was already under the surveillance of our Military Intelligence Office, and all the information about Mr. Wei was sent to me three days ago. A small official, not famous, but possesses a great talent, so this king plans to reuse Mr. Wei."

"So that's how I understand it, but it's my honor." Wei Zheng suddenly realized, although there are still some things that don't make sense, but they can barely explain, and apart from this reason, Wei Zheng really can't figure it out There are other reasons.

Although Wei Zheng was ready to serve Wang Junlin, out of pride and scruples about Wang Junlin's poisonous and infamous reputation in the past, he still planned to try it out, so he went on to say: "I heard movable type printing is a The prince personally instructed the craftsmen to invent it. When I saw it for the first time in Fanyang County, I felt that it was far better than engraving and printing. It was of great help to vigorously promote culture and education. It is ridiculous that before I came to Fanyang County, I listened to the original Some businessmen said that after someone introduced this technology to Luoyang, Kyoto, some Confucian celebrities were quite disdainful."

Wang Junlin naturally heard about this matter, he smiled and said: "Those so-called great Confucianism celebrities, who talk in exaggeration and abandon reality, are not the ones who really value culture and education. Those great

Confucian celebrities believe that engraving and printing are exquisite, and the characters are all copied and engraved by celebrities. As for printing with movable type, the fonts are the same and crudely made. In their view, this is blasphemy. "

Wei Zheng said: "It's ridiculous, it's extremely ridiculous! These so-called great Confucian celebrities are simply paying back the pearls, forgetting the fundamental meaning of the existence of books. They don't know that in today's troubled times, it is a great thing for scholars to have books to read." It is extremely difficult, but no one cares about these things. Moreover, letterpress printing has greatly reduced the cost of printing books, and has an irreplaceable role in popularizing books and disseminating knowledge. From the humble point of view, movable type printing will sooner or later replace woodblock printing, The world must also form the mainstream."

Wang Junlin nodded slightly, expressing that he thought it was true, and then his eyes flashed, and he said straight to the point: "This king intends to send troops to the other four counties in Hebei recently, so that the six counties of Hebei will be brought under my king. Why did you teach me, sir."

Wei Zheng said: "Since I entered Fanyang County, what I have seen all the way, what the prince has done... the eternal sage, I admire the most. The talent is shallow, and I can't teach it, but if the prince sends troops to the four counties , I have a word to dedicate to Your Majesty."

Wang Junlin looked at Wei Zheng with a solemn expression, full of remonstrance, thinking that this is Wei Zheng's nature, and said: "Mr. Wei, please tell me, I will listen to you."

Wei Zheng said solemnly: "Your Majesty, there are many reasons for the imminent collapse of the Sui Dynasty, but the root lies in the common people. I have heard an old saying in a humble position: 'A king is a boat; a man is water. Water can carry a boat, and so can it. Overturning the boat.' And the grievances are not big, but people are to be feared; when a boat capsizes, one should be cautious. The humble one thinks that the prince thinks that it is fearful, just like the imperial decree."

Wang Junlin suddenly laughed wildly. Seeing Wei Zheng's bewildered eyes, he stopped laughing suddenly and praised sincerely: "What Mr. Wei said is indeed a golden and jade good word. I should keep it in my heart. If I treat you kindly in the future If the common people make mistakes, Mr. Wei can blame them face to face."

Wang Junlin and Wei Zheng talked until dinner time, Wang Junlin stayed with the latter to have dinner in the mansion, Wei Zhenglue refused and readily agreed.

Until after the meal, Wang Junlin didn't mention any official position to Wei Zheng, because he didn't think about it either.

After Wei Zheng left, Wang Junlin returned to the backyard. Just halfway through, he saw a maid walking towards the backyard with a food box on her shoulders.

The maid who lived there was surprised and said: "Who is this food for?"

The maid turned her head and saw that it was Wang Junlin, she quickly knelt down and saluted: "This servant has seen the prince, this servant is going to deliver food to Miss Perfume."

Under Wang Junlin's strong insistence, except for formal occasions, his palace abolished the rule that people in the palace should kneel and worship him no matter when and where they saw him.

As soon as Wang Junlin heard that she was going to deliver meals to Xiangxiang, she knew that the time-limited homework assigned by Nie Xiaoyu to Xiangxiang was very difficult.

As for what homework Nie Xiaoyu assigned for Perfume, Wang Junlin was too busy to ask, but he just knew there was such a thing.

Wang Junlin waved his hand to let the maid leave, and walked towards the place where Chen Danying lived.

Passing around a clump of rockery flowers and trees, just as he was about to step onto the corridor, a little boy in a small jacket with pink make-up and jade staggered suddenly ran towards him: "Daddy!" ... ... Daddy ... hug."

Wang Junlin raised his head, and couldn't help but smile. This little boy is his precious son

He waved his hand to make the group of maids who were chasing up behind him retreat, and squatted down happily.

"Come on, give me a hug from Daddy."

The little boy opened his arms like lotus roots to his father with a pure and melting smile on his face.

Wang Junlin leaned over to pick up his precious son, and suddenly realized that his pants were wet, and he couldn't help but shyly said: "You are more than one year old, and you still pee your pants, are you ashamed?"

The little boy rolled his **** eyes, and his long eyelashes fluttered twice. He pointed to the clear sky and said, "It's not my pee, it's raining, and the rain fell on me." .”

Wang Junlin picked up his precious son and walked forward, looked up at the sky, and said amusedly: "Yes, the gods in the sky are really real, they dared to rain and wet my son's pants, look at me Spank them."

The little boy giggled and said happily, "Daddy is amazing..."

Wang Junlin didn't know whether to laugh or cry when he heard this, and he gave her a look and said, "You little brat, you've learned to lie before you're three years old."

The little boy's white jade-like face was full of anger, and he said in a childlike voice, "Daddy, I'm very good. Sister Xiangxiang and Sister Guoer have praised me like this!"
