"Japanese, Watanabe Juichiro, tried to bribe this official. Men, arrest him."
While Watanabe Juichiro was thinking about this, Xiaobei, who felt greatly insulted, gave the order to arrest him.
Xiaobei was furious. He had thought that it was 100 million strings of string of cash, but his family couldn't take out 100 million strings of cash. There were only three ways to raise it.
One was to sell all his family properties, which would give him more than 300 million strings of cash. But that was impossible. What about the military? What about the laboratory? What about the industrial chains in various places? What about his family's house and jewels?
The second method was for his brother to use his identity to raise money from all the merchants of the Great Tang. He believed that with his brother's call, let alone 100 million strings of cash, he would be able to raise one billion strings of cash. The Great Tang was no longer the same as before, and its productivity was more developed.
The third method was for his brother to use the Great Tang Bank. There was a lot of money there, but was that possible? His brother wouldn't touch the Great Tang Bank's money. The Great Tang Bank's loans and investments were all for Uncle Emperor to earn.
Other than these three methods, even the Great Tang's treasury couldn't take out 100 million strings of cash. Although his family's policies and productivity reforms had made the treasury's income exceed 100 million strings of cash, the treasury's money had to be spent. His brother and sister had even discussed this matter. In any case, he didn't really understand. He only knew that his brother wanted to spend a lot of money on infrastructure, but his sister didn't agree. She said that they couldn't adopt a deficit economic strategy because their productivity wasn't advanced enough and they didn't plunder enough money.
In any case, 100 million strings of cash was a lot. This Watanabe Juichiro had made him happy for nothing. Even 10 million strings of cash would have been fine. He actually dared to lie and say that 10% of the shares would only earn him 300,000 strings of cash a year.
He was clearly scolding him, bullying him because he hadn't seen 300,000 strings of cash before. It was too infuriating. It wasn't right to play with children. It was a crime to bully children.
Of course, Xiaobei would never admit that the biggest reason for his anger was that his attitude when he thought it was 100 million strings of cash had been a little embarrassing. In the end, not only did he lose his face, he also lost his money.
Watanabe Juichiro didn't know that the high and mighty child in front of him had such thoughts. Seeing Xiaobei turn hostile and arrest him, he immediately panicked. If he was arrested again, what would happen to the goods at the port? That was the hope of the country this year.
"You can't arrest me. You can't arrest me. I didn't say a hundred million strings of cash. It's what you think. Why don't you think about it? Where can I get a hundred million strings of cash from in Japan? I can't even take out ten million strings of cash. "Shuichiro Watanabe didn't dare to resist and could only shout.
"How dare you ask us to bribe you without ten million strings of cash? What do you take us for? Push him down and behead him. Stay away from him. Don't let me see any blood. "Xiao Bei became even angrier when he heard Shuichiro Watanabe mention the previous incident again.
Watanabe Juichiro was escorted to the riverside. He didn't want to die in such a cowardly way, so he had to use his last trick. "Hahaha!" He threw his head back and laughed three times.
When Xiaobei heard the laughter, he felt that the scene was a little familiar. He turned his head and asked Xiaoyuan, "Xiaoyuan, I feel that it's a little familiar. I seem to have seen it somewhere before."
"In the stories, the Spring and Autumn Period, the Warring States Period, and the Three Kingdoms Period that Big Sister told us about all had such situations. When the envoys were beheaded, they would laugh loudly and survive. Some of them even achieved their goals. As for those who didn't survive, Big Sister said that the stories didn't include them."
Xiaoyuan originally wanted to tell all the stories, but when she saw that Shuichiro Watanabe was about to be killed, she was afraid that there wasn't enough time, so she could only make it short.
Xiaobei blinked and thought of a plot. Thus, he hurriedly shouted at Shuichiro Watanabe, who was being escorted dozens of steps away, "Why are you laughing?"
After shouting, he compared the plot of the stories and felt that there was a discrepancy. He ordered, "Men, bring Shuichiro Watanabe back. I have something to ask him."
Just like that, Shuichiro Watanabe returned.
"Shuichiro, I ask you, why are you laughing?" Xiaobei blinked and stared at Shuichiro Watanabe. There was a hint of expectation in his expression.
Shuichiro Watanabe originally thought that he was going to die, but he didn't expect to be brought back. He felt that his plan had succeeded. He didn't know that if his answer was different from what Xiaobei heard in the story, Xiaobei would be very disappointed and might even kill him. Yes, children's thoughts were often so strange. You couldn't reason with them. This was also why the officials of the Tang Empire were so afraid of Xiaobei.
Although Shuichiro Watanabe couldn't guess why Xiaobei put him in the story, he also knew that this was his last chance. He hoped that Xiaobei could be as smart as when he said the legendary diplomatic words before and be able to understand his words.
In order to live, Shuichiro Watanabe summoned his courage and looked up fearlessly at Xiaobei. What he saw was Xiaobei's expectant gaze. He didn't know that Xiaobei expected him to follow the plot of the story. If he knew, he might rather hold his breath and suffocate himself to death. After all, it was very sad to associate life and death with the story.
He only knew that Xiaobei in front of him was not a child who could be easily deceived as he imagined. He had to treat her seriously.
Shuichiro Watanabe quickly organized his thoughts and said, "I laughed at the Tang Empire's officials for being narrow-minded. When two countries are at war, it's normal not to kill the envoys. Why not kill the envoys when money is a small matter?"
Xiaobei first nodded in agreement with Shuichiro Watanabe's words and then asked Xiaoyuan in a low voice, "That's right, that's right. Is it the same as the story?"
She understood what Shuichiro Watanabe was trying to say. When two countries are at war, it's normal not to kill the envoys. Would there be a conflict and kill for a little money?
Xiaoyuan nodded and said, "It's about the same. Let's listen to him."
So Xiaobei asked again, "What about Erxiao? You laughed three times. "
Shuichiro Watanabe Weiwei breathed a sigh of relief. With Xiaobei's words, it meant that he could live for the time being. She lowered her head and thought for a moment, then said, "Erxiao, Erxiao has forgotten the Rites of Zhou. We don't teach right or wrong, we only use force. Taking life is nothing more than a nod of the head. How can we seize the will with weapons? "
"Very good, not bad." Xiaobei continued to agree. What Shuichiro Watanabe meant was that she had forgotten the Rites of Zhou. It was easy to kill someone, it was just a nod of the head. However, the commander of three armies could be seized, but an ordinary man could not seize the will. She could kill him, but could she kill all the Japanese warriors?
Xiaoyuan also nodded and said, "Yes, Shuichiro Watanabe, it's really hard for you to know so many things. My army, oh, my Tang Empire's army, does this. Everyone has to be literate. If the general dies, the battalion commander will take over. If the battalion commander dies, the captain will take over. If the captain dies, any soldier will do. It will not affect the intention of the battle. Therefore, it's not scary to seize the commander, but it's scary to lose the morale. My army, oh, my Tang Empire's army, as long as the commander's flag doesn't fall, we will fight to the death and never retreat."
"Yes, yes, Bian Yi, you are really good. Now you are talking about Sanxiao?" Xiaobei also admitted that Shuichiro Watanabe was right. It was in line with the plot of the story.
Shuichiro Watanabe was stunned for a moment. He really did not know that the private armies of the Zhang Family and Wang Family had reached the point where everyone was literate. What a terrible thing this was. As Wang Xiaoyuan said, if one died, the other would take over. The intention of the battle could be understood. When encountering such an army, unless everyone was killed, there was no way to stop the opponent's tactical arrangement.
Then he thought about how he could not manage the army and how to survive the things he faced. Only then did he calm down and said, "Sanxiao … Sanxiao is powerless to manage the general trend. If you don't blame the officials, you blame the distant border. There are thousands of things in the world, but it's difficult for a fly to land on a seamless egg. "
"Oh ~!" Xiaobei nodded again. He said that he could not control the officials of the Tang Empire, but he blamed the distant Japan. If the officials of the Tang Empire could do well, then the Japanese could not do anything.
"Okay, I won't kill you. It's similar to what you see in the story. Bian Yi, let me ask you something. Have you also heard of the Three Kingdoms that sister told you?" Xiaobei was moved by the story and decided to let Shuichiro Watanabe go. Otherwise, if he really killed him, wouldn't it make the story seem unreal?
"What Three Kingdoms?" Shuichiro Watanabe was confused.
"The Romance of the Three Kingdoms. It's much more exciting than the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. It's the three kingdoms of Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and Sun Quan. As for Wei, Shu, and Wu, in the end, that kid surnamed Sima succeeded. It became the West Jin Dynasty and the East Jin Dynasty. Mmm, this is another story. "Xiaobei counted with his fingers and told Shuichiro Watanabe.
Shuichiro Watanabe shook his head.
Xiaobei was very regretful. "You really haven't heard of it? It's the rolling Yangtze River flowing to the east, the waves washing away the heroes … The mountains are still there, and the sunset is still red … So many things in the past and present are all jokes. Sister told us about the Three Kingdoms period. It's very interesting. I'll find someone to organize it and print it into a book. I'll sell it to you at a cheap price, okay? "
Xiaobei told Shuichiro Watanabe the part where Han Ze was almost killed by Cao Cao, the part where Lu Bu wanted to kill Chen Deng, the plot of Sun Quan and Deng Zhi, and so on.
Watanabe Juichiro listened to Xiaobei tell him about 'laughing' from one storyline to another. He finally understood why he was still alive. Xiaobei had placed him in the story and was playing with him.
Shuichiro Watanabe was angry and shocked. He was angry that Xiaobei and the others treated him as a toy. He was shocked that Xiaobei could remember so many things and selectively pick out the plot of such a long story. The so-called Romance of the Three Kingdoms story couldn't be done without great wisdom and courage.
"I see. Zhang Xiaobei's nine children usually learn these things. No wonder they're so good. Wang Juan and Zhang Xiaobao are really good. In order to let their younger siblings learn more knowledge, they actually made history into stories to teach. How much effort did they put in?
It can't be blamed that the adults of the two families let Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan take care of the nine children. The things they teach are really different. Compared to the children of the Tang Dynasty and the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, what Xiaobei and the other nine children taught can be one in ten. Who can teach like Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan?
However, Wang Juan usually had to teach military lessons to the generals of the Tang Dynasty, adjust the deployment of the Tang Dynasty's army, and help Zhang Xiaobao. Zhang Xiaobao didn't need to be mentioned. He was in charge of a large area in the northern part of Hebei Province, his family's business, the operation of the Tang Bank, and the application of 'technology'.
Where did they get the time to make up stories? If it were an ordinary person, they would have been exhausted to death. Could it be that the legends were true? The two of them were extraordinary and divine? Immortal? I heard that Zhang Xiaobao still had time to play cards and cook. The most important thing was that he was still scheming against Xinluo and Japan, where he was.
According to the current situation, the two of them are planning to train Xiaobei's nine children in the same way as them. If that's the case, how can others live? "
Watanabe Juichiro thought about it. The fact that he had just survived made him feel no longer happy. With Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan, when could Japan turn over?
At this time, Xiaobei had already recovered from the excitement of telling stories. Seeing that Watanabe Juichiro lowered his head and didn't say anything, he said, "Well, Juichiro, you can go. Go back quickly. Otherwise, don't blame me if you are caught again."
Shuichiro Watanabe followed Xiaobei's words and replied, "Oh." He turned around and was about to leave when he suddenly stopped and turned his head unwillingly. He said to Xiaobei, "I have one more thing. I wonder if Master Zhang can let me say it."
