C93 Tarantula caught in a net (1/2)
Hearing Xiao Wen's request, Huan Yan was at a loss. After all, the wool textile industry was indeed of great help to the burly man. If he did the right thing, then with this contribution, he could absolutely make a commoner rise to become a marquis.
However, at this time, Huan Yan didn't know that Xiao Wen already had the position of the Left Scholar. It was much easier to advance to a marquis than a commoner.
Seeing how Huan Yan was deep in thought, Xiao Wen said, ”In fact, the merits and historical achievements brought about by the woolen textile industry are not something that I, Xiao Wen, can take all of it for myself. All I did was open the door to the woolen textile industry, and this was enough to make me pay my respects. But the extra credit, you can definitely in the process of promoting the wool textile industry, create some difficulties, and let your people to overcome the way, absorption. ”This way, your Yang family can also gain great benefits.”
”There's such a thing?” When Huan Yan heard how skillful Xiao Wen was in stating the pros and cons, he was shocked. His mouth was wide enough to fit a goose egg. He didn't even try to conceal the astonishment in his heart.
He didn't know that Xiao Wen was originally just a commoner. How could he have such excellent political strategy?
With just this, even if it was Xiao He, Zhang Liang, and other elders of the imperial court, it would be difficult for them to fight a political battle with Xiao Wen on the same level.
Seeing the shocked expression on Huan Yan's face, Xiao Wen felt disdain in his heart.
”The picture shows Tucson breaking. I do have the wily manipulation of countless political fighters from ancient and modern times. From the Grand Law of the Earl of Grammen in Britannia to the system of succession to the Imperial Guard in the Byzantine Empire. From Qin Hui's fall into the trap of loyalty, to Heshen's corruption. What kind of tricks do I not know how to use? The only thing that can stop me is my conscience. ”
While thinking about this, Xiao Wen still showed a gentle expression.
He looked at Huan Yan, patiently waiting for an answer.
However, Huan Yan didn't have the guts to bypass his uncle and engage in such an important transaction with Xiao Wen.
Thus, in order to temporarily stabilize Xiao Wen, and to buy more time to discuss with his uncle, Huan Yan turned to Xiao Wen and said, ”Although Mister said that woolen textiles are very valuable, there is no proof. I hope that you can use half a year of this autumn and winter to verify whether this method is effective or not. ”
”No problem.” Although Xiao Wen saw through Huan Yan's thoughts, he believed that he had Uncle Lee as his backer, and he himself also had the position of the Left Scoundrel. No matter how amazing the Yang family was, they could swallow a little commoner's credit, so how could they swallow a Left Sage like him?
Taking away the contribution of a noble was a privilege that only the emperor had. If the Yang family wanted to desecrate this power that belonged solely to the emperor during the feudal era, they would only be met with a calamity.
This was what made Xiao Wen so confident.
”That's why, when I went to the army camp to treat the sick and help people gain military merits, it was a wise choice. Giving yourself 100 points, you're not afraid of your own pride! ” Seeing that Huan Yan had already fallen into his bag, Xiao Wen excitedly thought to himself.
Soon after, Xiao Wen ordered his five hundred and fifty knights to put on the armor and equipment of the Tarantula.
”Although our village is poor, we still have one or two carriages. If you don't mind, you can use the car to drag away the weapon. After all, not only did the Towers leave behind a lot of equipment, they also stank. ”It's not good to let the soldiers take it.” Before leaving, the Village Chief said.
He was also kind. After all, from an efficiency point of view, it was completely possible to travel a few times less by car.
Moreover, the Manchuria of Manchuria, where the Manchu Tarantula lived, was situated in the northeast, and the cold weather, coupled with the fact that the Tarantula were a half-fishing, half-nomadic people, weighed more heavily on their body odor.
Therefore, not only did these armors give off an unpleasant stench, they also contained lice.
However, Xiao Wen shook his head and said, ”Old sir, please have the men pack the armor. We will use a carriage to transport the armor next time. ”However, this time, I have a special request. I have no choice but to let the warriors wear the armor of a Tarantula.”
”Alright then.” When the village chief saw that the cavalry soldiers did not refuse to wear armor because of Xiao Wen's prestige, he nodded his head.
