Happy holidays everyone! I'm going to have some fun too!
After their laughter and chatter ended, servants brought in wine and food, and the three of them immediately took their seats.
"You two rushed here just for this reward?" The wicked husband stuffed a mouthful of food into his mouth and asked the two of them.
Meng Tian explained, "Brother, when my grandfather and father returned from court, they praised you highly, saying you were brave and invincible, and had great strategic acumen."
“That’s right!” Wang Li chimed in, “That’s why they sent the two of us to come and help you out.”
The wicked man revealed a hint of understanding. For a family to survive, the most important thing is talent. At least each generation needs a person who can establish a stable foundation.
These two old guys are planning to use me to train these two lads!
“Sure, I need someone to run errands for me too, you two can stay with me.”
The wicked man naturally wouldn't refuse. Putting aside his relationship with the elders of both families, he also owed them a debt of gratitude for Wang Jian and Meng Ao's support last time.
Besides, he got along well with both of them, always calling them "Big Brother," and Meng Tian had even helped him out. How could he not care?
The wicked man picked up his wine glass, took a small sip, and his eyes gleamed with a deep, penetrating light, as if he could see into people's hearts. "However, staying by my side isn't just about running errands. You'd better be prepared; the road ahead may be far more difficult than you imagine."
Upon hearing this, Meng Tian's eyes hardened even more. He patted his chest and laughed heartily, "Brother, don't worry! Since we've decided to follow you, we're fully prepared. Besides, we can learn a lot from you!"
Wang Li chimed in, "Yes, Brother Evil Husband, we're not afraid of hardship or fatigue, we're just afraid of not having the opportunity. Just give us your orders, and we'll do our best to ensure you don't let us down!"
Looking at the two men's spirited expressions, the wicked man nodded inwardly. Meng Tian needed no further introduction; the Meng brothers were destined to become renowned figures in Qin. Wang Li, though less accomplished, was unwavering in his loyalty to Qin.
With proper training, their achievements will far surpass those of their predecessors in history.
"Alright, since you're so determined, I won't say anything more." The wicked man put down his wine cup, his expression turning serious. "Go back and pack your valuables, and you'll be staying at my residence from now on."
"And call Zhang Han, Li Balang, and Zhang Erhe over as well."
Meng Tian and Wang Li exchanged a glance, their expressions immediately turning serious. "Brother, let's go back and pack up now. We'll wait until all the brothers are here tonight to eat together."
After saying that, the two got up and left quickly.
Reaching the door, Meng Tian paused, turned back, and asked, "Brother, where are Erniu and Chun Ning?"
The wicked man shook his head. "Send someone to tell the two of them that they will be in full command of the Black Dragon Armored Army from now on, and Zhang Han will be transferred to my side to take orders."
"good."
Neither of them said or asked any further questions, assuming that the wicked husband had other plans.
"well..."
Watching the two figures depart, the wicked husband sighed repeatedly.
His progress was so rapid that his fellow townsmen, Erniu and Chuning, could no longer keep up, just like Tieniu had been back then.
The two were originally country boys who had been taken care of by him to get to where they are today, but due to their inherent limitations, they were no longer suitable to continue climbing the social ladder.
Now there are countless things waiting for him to handle, and he can't personally train the two of them. It's better for him to continue honing his skills in the Black Dragon Armor Army.
We can wait for a suitable opportunity in the future to promote them.
...
That night.
Everyone gathered together, and even Wu Shilu was summoned by her wicked husband.
The wicked man raised his glass and said, "You are all people I, the wicked man, trust. I have called you here today to make preparations for what is to come."
Li Balang smiled wryly, “General, your plan is brilliant. I admire it greatly. It is precise and effective, and perfectly applicable to the Qin state today.”
"Alright, there are no outsiders here, so let's not say such things." The wicked husband was a little embarrassed. He had also plagiarized from the 'descendant' Li Shanchang, only making slight modifications.
Everyone burst into laughter and began to toast each other.
After several rounds of drinks and five courses of food,
The wicked man wiped the smile off his face, looked at the crowd, and suddenly said in a deep voice, "Meng Tian, Zhang Han."
"General, please give your orders!"
"Brother, please speak."
The two quickly straightened up, their eyes regaining their clarity; this was the moment they had been waiting for.
After a moment of contemplation, the wicked man said, "Tomorrow morning, select talented individuals from all the soldiers within the Qin territory and give them free rein to train them."
"Zhang Han is in charge of training, and Meng Tian assists him."
Zhang Han had grown up alongside the Black Dragon Armored Army and was intimately familiar with their training methods, making him the most suitable instructor.
Meng Tian was nominally there to assist him, but in reality, it was also to train and learn from him so that he could be able to stand on his own in the future.
"Baliang, I'm entrusting the matter of military equipment to you. No one else can do this." The wicked man's eyes were full of trust. Don't let this ugly freak's half-baked background fool you; his loyalty is absolutely unquestionable.
Furthermore, his brain, comparable to a 14th-generation CPU, is perfectly suited for handling complex matters like military equipment manufacturing, and he can definitely manage everything in an orderly manner.
“Wu Shi Luo, I need you to expand the scope of trade and open up a real trade route.”
"and!"
At this point, his expression became even more serious. "I need you to gather detailed information on the location and wealth of the surrounding countries and tribes. This is of utmost importance."
Having been a merchant for many years, Wu Shilu had a quick mind and immediately understood the evil man's intention. He then said in a deep voice, "General, rest assured, with your support, I can open up a large trade route."
The wicked man understood that he had taken his meaning to heart, so he stopped talking.
Seeing that everyone else had been assigned tasks but he hadn't, Wang Li became impatient, but hesitated to speak.
Seeing this, the wicked man revealed a smile and said softly, "Wang Li, from today onwards, you will stay by my side."
"Okay, no problem, big brother!" Wang Li nodded repeatedly, a very excited smile on his face. Being able to follow the wicked husband was far better than doing anything else.
"Come on, keep eating and drinking!"
......
"Oh, an alliance?"
The Xiongnu king looked at the Yuezhi envoy before him, his expression constantly changing.
"Yes!"
The Yuezhi envoy nodded and said in a deep voice, "Qin has made a fortune by opening up trade channels. Doesn't Your Majesty feel tempted?"
The news of Qin opening up trade had already spread far and wide, and not only the states of the Central Plains, but even foreign tribes were extremely envious.
If they could obtain the necessary supplies without losing a single soldier, would they think they were fools, willing to take up arms and fight against the people of the Central Plains?
He had previously sent people to find the Rong people, hoping to exchange them for supplies, but the price was far too high, several times higher than that of the Qin people.
He had no shortage of cattle, sheep, and horses, but he didn't want to be taken advantage of, so the matter fell through.
