Chapter 26 Thought and Wisdom
"Hey, that's so embarrassing!"
After Ren Xian heard that he would share the credit and glory that belonged to Chang Sun Sheng, he rubbed the back of his head in embarrassment.
But he didn't expect that what he touched was his own helmet, and he immediately felt even more embarrassed. He didn't know whether to put it down or just keep his hands raised like this!
Changsun Sheng glanced at him angrily and said, "Why are you giggling? Then I will test you again?"
When Ren Xian heard that the other party wanted to test himself again, he suddenly no longer felt embarrassed or embarrassed. He put down his hand and said with a grimace.
"Do you still have to take the exam?"
"Stop talking nonsense!" Changsun Sheng said seriously with a straight face: "Let me ask you, why did General Di use me to highlight your existence despite the consequences of offending me?"
"Not to mention that you already have merit, even if you don't reveal your face this time, your merit will not be in vain!"
"Let's just say that your army already occupies a large position in the monarch's heart. Why do you still do this?"
Changsun Sheng looked at Ren Xian's hard thinking expression and said without further explanation.
"You don't have to answer me now, this is a question I left for you! You just have to figure it out before we arrive at Tianqi City!"
Ren Xian didn't feel relaxed when he heard it, but felt pressured.
I don’t even expect myself to be able to answer this in a day or two!
Changsun Sheng looked at Ren Xian who looked even more bitter and thought to himself: Brother Ren Xian, I am doing this for your own good. When you figure it out, you can become a senior officer!
In fact, he didn't expect Ren Xian to be able to answer it at all!
And Ren Xian also knew that this was for his own good, and that Changsun Sheng was helping him improve his abilities, so he would always cooperate!
…
Following this smooth road in the mountainous area, the group passed a mountain today.
Changsun Sheng said to Ren Xian: "The front should be Central Town, I don't know what's going on now!"
"Brother Sheng, is there a small town ahead?" Ren Xian asked curiously: "I remember we haven't reached Tianqi City yet. How can there be a small town?"
Changsun Sheng replied: "Ahead is a new town being built, called 'Central Town'! The monarch is expanding his territory!"
"Oh? Expanding the country towards the north? Isn't the land south of Tianma Pass all domestic?" Ren Xian asked doubtfully.
In the eyes of many people in the country, since they occupied the entrance to the mountain range and established Tianma Pass, the land south of Tianma Pass should be their own!
This view is actually correct, but the actual scope of control is still only the land in the original territorial period. This expansion is to increase the scope of the country's control!
"Haha~! You are right, these lands all belong to the country, but there are no people. This expansion is to let these lands play their role!" Changsun Sheng explained with a smile.
"The monarch plans to build five new towns on this passage, and the town in front is the first to be built. It is also the town in the center of this passage, so the monarch named it 'Central Town'!"
"I see!" Ren Xian then realized that there were such changes in the country and said, "I didn't expect the country to develop so fast! These small towns are not only used to expand land, right?"
"Oh! I didn't see it!" Changsun Sheng looked at Ren Xiandao with surprised eyes: "You can think of these small towns as having other uses, I really can't underestimate you!"
"Haha~! Big Brother Sheng deserves the prize!" Ren Xian said a little embarrassedly: "I have been with you for such a long time, and I have learned a little bit. I have learned to look at something and not just take it at face value!"
Seeing Chang Sun Sheng nodding and looking at him expectantly, Ren Xian continued: "I think the establishment of these small towns has something to do with our army!"
"The general and staff have been leading us to be stationed at Tianma Pass, and the logistics supplies are more than two hundred kilometers long. Without these small towns, the transportation losses of logistics supplies would be a bit big!" Ren Xian guessed.
Changsun Sheng could hardly hide the smile on his face. He nodded in praise and encouragement. After seeing that Ren Xian had no other ideas, he said.
"Very good, it seems that you have grown a lot!" Changsun Sheng sighed with emotion at Ren Xian's growth, and then gave guidance: "But I didn't tell you everything!"
Ren Xian cupped his fists and said sincerely: "Brother Sheng, please give me some advice!"
"In addition to reducing logistical losses, it also has something to do with the local civilization discovered outside the customs!" Changsun Sheng said, stroking the beard on his chin.
"The opening of the trade route will make this passage prosperous. Although outside caravans will not be allowed to pass through customs, the caravans from this country alone will make this passage full of wealth!"
"Brother Sheng, why doesn't the monarch allow people from outside the customs to enter the country?" Ren Xian asked a little curiously when he heard Changsun Sheng said that people from outside the customs were not allowed to enter the country.
"There are many reasons for this!" Changsun Sheng heard this question and thought for a moment: "The most important thing should be to prevent the leakage of domestic intelligence!"
Because he was bragging to others outside about millions of people and hundreds of thousands of soldiers. If the real domestic information was leaked by these businessmen, wouldn't it be a slap in his face?
As for whether businessmen in this country will leak information, that depends on Chen Ping's ability!
"Oh, if I know about it, I will also pay attention!" Ren Xian noted this down!
"Look, there is this newly built town ahead!" Changsun Sheng motioned to Ren Xian to look ahead and said, "The changes are quite big!"
When Chang Sun Sheng passed by this place before his mission, it was still a deserted place. Only a camp was built with tents in a sheltered place!
Now, looking at a busy construction site, there are people everywhere, and a large amount of wood is placed in a corner of the construction site, which has been piled up into a hill!
They passed the pontoon bridge on the river and arrived in front of the camp. Changsun Sheng said: "It's getting late now. Let's rest here tonight!"
"Yes, I'll make arrangements right away!" Ren Xian said, cupping his fists.
"No, look, the person in charge here is coming soon!" Changsun Sheng motioned for Ren Xian to look in another direction.
Ren Xian turned his head and looked to the other side and found several people walking towards this side.
"Haha~! I'm sorry, I'm sorry! I didn't know Director Changsun came so quickly. I didn't go far enough to greet him. I hope I can atone for my sin!" When he was still far away, the person who came came shouted loudly from afar.
When Chang Sun Sheng saw the person approaching, he raised his hand and said in salute: "Mayor Yan, you are so polite. I have a heavy responsibility, so I don't dare to delay for a moment!"
It turns out that the mayor of this place, Yan Ming, is here!
This Yan Ming is the official holding a tin trumpet to maintain order outside Tianqi City!
As for the whereabouts of Chang Sun Sheng and his party, when they arrived at Tianma Pass, Di Qing sent out his personal guards and asked him to rush to Tianqi City to report the news. While passing by, he notified this small town that Chang Sun Sheng and the others were coming.
thing!
"Mayor Lao Yan, we will repair here tonight and set off early tomorrow morning. I hope it will be convenient!" Changsun Sheng explained the purpose of his visit!
