When receiving the people from the southwestern tribes, Xiaobei and his men appeared to be very relaxed. They pretended to be kind and friendly, which was a hundred times better than their attitude towards the Japanese.
Only Pan 'er and her brother would always show malice. In the eyes of adults, this was just a child's mischievous behavior.
After arranging for the tribesmen, who deliberately wore gorgeous clothes but always acted like rustic people, to enter Ocean Cloud Restaurant, Xiaobei returned to where the royal carriage was at night. He could no longer hold back the hatred in his heart and muttered, "That's right.
"Damn it, I want to hook them all up with hooks and throw them into the sea to catch sharks. They're even more detestable than the Maneaters and the Japanese. The Maneaters are a result of strategic intentions, while the Japanese are a result of geographical limitations. I can understand why they're plotting against the Great Tang, but the most disgusting thing is that they're just a bunch of small tribesmen playing the drums and banners on the sidelines.
They are just a bunch of wolf cubs who have abandoned their dignity and credibility. No, they are worse than wolves. At least dogs are trained from wolves. If I still have the slightest bit of kindness to them in the future, my surname will not be Wang. "
Hearing Xiaobei's angry words, everyone was stunned. Li Longji even recalled the various things that happened during the day reported by the intelligence personnel. It seemed that the people from the southwestern tribes got along well with Xiaobei. What was wrong with Xiaobei?
Xiaoyuan said, "Xiaobei, your surname is Zhang."
"My mother's surname is Wang. Now others call her the Jang Wong Clan. Well, I know what you mean. Wait for me to grow up …"
"Ha, ha, ha, Xiaobei, I suddenly thought of a very important thing. That is to follow your footsteps, listen to your voice, support your will, and understand your feelings. In fact, I also want to hook them up to catch sharks. Really."
Xiaoyuan did not wait for Xiaobei to finish his words and hurriedly expressed himself. He did not feel that it was shameful for him to flatter a girl.
"Hmm! Xiaoyuan, you will be a man in the future. Don't yield to others. Stick out your chest. " Wu Huifei looked at Xiaoyuan dotingly and said. She thought highly of Xiaoyuan, who had a photographic memory, but her son did not have this ability.
Xiao Yuan was finally embarrassed and muttered in a low voice, "Actually, I'm not really afraid of her. I just feel that I should spoil her a little, like how an older brother treats his older sister."
No matter how low Xiaoyuan's voice was, the people around heard it. Zhang Xiaobao glared at Xiaoyuan, then turned to Wang Juan and said, "Did you see that? Did I teach my child the wrong things? Is a man who bows his head to a woman a good man? "
"No." Wang Juan smiled and said, "Only a man who bullies his wife is a hero. A man's greatness is highlighted in his family. Even if he is a dog outside, he has to shout at his wife and children at home."
"You're talking about Japanese men. Please don't compare me with them. Although Japanese men are also human, it seems that we need to change our living environment." Zhang Xiaobao said with a serious expression.
Wang Juan was confused by his jumping words and asked in surprise, "What does it have to do with living environment?"
"I'm not worried about Xiaoyuan and Xiaobei. Both of them are very lively. Xiaohai and Xiaozhu only know how to study mathematics, and the other only knows how to draw. Both of them are too dull. Do you think they have a common language?"
Zhang Xiaobao said worriedly.
"There should be, right? For example, after the computer is made, drawing itself is a digital simulation. You're saying that the environment determines one's personality. Do you want to change their personalities? If not, this is the bad thing about the family. The adults of both sides have to worry about it, and it's easy to be criticized by others. "
Wang Juan looked at Xiaohai and Xiaozhu, who were standing beside Li Longji and Xiaobei, who were talking to Li Longji.
"So what if they're family? In Dream of the Red Chamber, they're all close relatives. Which one of them isn't smart? Look at our Emperor Xuanzong. His family has done this many times. Wu Huifei's surname is Wu, right? Wu Meiniang's surname is Wu, right? Then they … "
"How can you talk nonsense like that? He's not dead yet. What Xuanzong? Listen, listen to what Xiaobei has to say." Wang Juan interrupted Zhang Xiaobao's words. She looked around and saw that no one had heard what she had said. She felt a little relieved.
Zhang Xiaobao yawned and said, "What else could it be? It's nothing more than saying insincere words during the day and wearing a hypocritical mask. She feels uncomfortable in her heart. Diplomacy is like this. Not everyone is suitable to be a diplomat. In addition to the support of national strength, you also have to show your personal charm. In the same country, different diplomats have absolutely different effects.
Don't be fooled by Xiaobei's complaints now. If you really don't let her do this, she will feel even more uncomfortable. Nanzhao, I'm also very annoyed with them. If they have nothing to do, they should just stay there. Why are they joining in the fun? If it weren't to complete the strategic deployment, I would have directly rejected them. "
Zhang Xiaobao also complained.
Xiaobei finally vented the anger in her heart toward Li Longji and the others. She took a deep breath and said, "I'm fine. Tomorrow, I will continue to welcome them with a smile. I request that when we occupy their place, I will still be the one to interact with them.
Today, they actually told me that because we helped them for free, they decided to maintain the peace of this period. Aren't they threatening me? Pah! If it weren't for brother and sister wanting to beat Duoshi first, I would have used money to smash them to death. "
"Hahaha! Yo yo yo, look at how angry our Xiaobei is. She must have suffered a great grievance. Come, let Uncle Emperor hug you. "Li Longji laughed and hugged Xiaobei to comfort her.
"It's only me. If it was anyone else, they would have gone crazy from anger. They look dark and skinny, but they dare to put on a show in front of me. Let's not talk about them, let's not talk about them. I don't care about their attitude. According to sister, it's … it's what? Xiao Yuan. "
Xiaobei complained again and turned to look at Xiao Yuan.
Not only did Xiao Yuan have to have a photographic memory, she also had to have a telepathic connection. After thinking for a bit, she said, "It's the wind that blows away the bamboo, the wind that blows away the bamboo leaves no sound; the wild goose crossing the cold pond, the wild goose leaving the pond without leaving a shadow. But I remember you once said that the wild goose leaves its sound, and the man leaves his name."
"I also said that I came, I saw it, I conquered it. Since I conquered it, how dare you refute me?" Xiaobei always had something to say.
Li Longji was confused. He couldn't think of what Xiao Bao and Cuckoo usually taught their younger siblings. It felt very profound, but was it suitable for children to say it?
"Alright, alright, stop arguing. It's such a mess. Uncle Emperor doesn't understand. Prepare to eat, then let your brother and sister tell you a story. Just tell them that I'm here and I've conquered something. It sounds very arrogant."
Li Longji persuaded the two children and glanced at Gao Lishi. Dinner began.
*****
The next day, Xiaobei led his team and amiably smiled as they discussed construction with the southwest Zhao.
In truth, it would have been better for the adults to handle this matter, but Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan refused to receive them, expressing their attitude that they were acting like children.
But they were not short on actual benefits. They were helping to build factories in the southwest, providing food for the ordinary people, and luxuries for the local upper class. All of this required the Great Tang to pay for.
"This is the sorrow of relations between countries. Fortunately, there are no other countries that can contend against my Great Tang in terms of economy and military, or else we would have to pay an even greater price. It's just that our economy is not strong enough to wage war everywhere."
After sending off the people from the southwest, Zhang Xiaobao spent the night chatting with Wang Juan.
"To be more precise, it's that our industrial base is not strong enough. Our country can supply the food needed for war, and transportation is no problem. It's just that we don't have enough weapons and ammunition. We can't just use sabers and spears like we used to. Once winter is over, we can start next year."
Wang Juan looked at the sky that was still as bright as day and said longingly.
