After Spring and Autumn

Chapter 87
At noon, Mengdi specially set up a banquet to entertain Bai Gui, hoping to deepen mutual understanding.

During the meeting, Bai Gui suggested to him.

"Now in Yan Kingdom, Duke Ping is in power, but he is seriously ill and will die soon. At this time, Bai heard that the son Ji Zai is also in Wuyang, and he is about to rush back to Jicheng. Brother Han, why don't you take this opportunity to make friends with him?" Young master Ji Zai?"

Meng Di didn't know the news yet, and his face showed joy when he heard the words, but then he hesitated and asked.

"I don't know much about the affairs of the Yan Kingdom, please give me some advice from Brother Bai."

"Well, if Brother Han pays attention to this matter, he will naturally know that Yan Pinggong's health has been getting worse and worse in recent years, and his son Ji Zai has a good relationship with Jin, and he will definitely be able to inherit the throne in the future, so Bai has this Word."

Hearing Bai Gui's words, Meng Di's heart was moved. If he had a good relationship with the future monarch of Yan Kingdom, it would be beneficial in the future, because Yan and Qi are not harmonious.

At the earliest time when Duke Huan of Qi ruled the hegemony, the Shan Rong invaded the State of Yan. Duke Zhuang of Yan was defeated and asked for help from the State of Qi. .

At that time, Duke Huan of Qi obeyed the etiquette, saying that he was not the son of heaven, and that the princes could not send him out of the country, so he designated the land where Duke Zhuang of Yan stepped on as the country of Yan.

But later, because of the strength of Jin State, Yan State was gradually influenced by Jin State, and the relationship between the two countries became delicate.

Thinking of this, Meng Di decided to take Bai Gui's suggestion and go to see his son Ji Zai.

After preparing the gift, Meng Di sent someone to deliver it. Young Master Ji Zai also felt a little strange after receiving the gift, but since the other party showed his kindness, he returned the gift and set up a banquet in the mansion. Please Meng Hagi went to the banquet.

Meng Di came with Bai Gui, and after the two parties sat down, Ji Zai said.

"Mr. Han, I heard that you are a businessman from the State of Lu. This time, you came to my State of Yan to buy horses. I wonder if you are satisfied?"

Hearing this, Mengdi thought of what Baiyi had said about building a racecourse before, so he wanted to test it out.

"Recently, I bought thousands of horses in Wuyang, and I am very satisfied. The horses of Yan State are of high quality and cheap, and they are exactly what Han needs urgently. Therefore, I intend to run a horse farm in Yan State. I don't know what you think?"

Yan State's focus is on guarding against the mountain rong, and it is not hard to manage the land adjacent to Jin State and Qi State, so Ji Zai doesn't care about these small things, and said with a smile.

"This is of course the best. The country of Yan is vast and the people are poor. If there are more businessmen like Mr. Han, it will also benefit the country of Yan. Of course, it would be great. I don't know where Mr. Han wants to set up a horse farm. ?”

Meng Di looked at Bai Gui, because he was not familiar with Yan State, so he wanted to hear what he meant.

Bai Gui thought for a while at this time, and then answered.

"The land of Renqiu is close to the seaport. It is quite convenient to use the waterway to travel to and from Yan land, and it is cheap to raise horses."

When Ji Zai heard the words, he nodded and agreed without any hesitation, because this place is close to Qi State, and Qi State's wealthy businessmen basically wouldn't come here.

Unexpectedly, things went so smoothly, after Meng Di thought about it, he asked Liu Xiatuo to go to Renqiu to arrange the opening of the racecourse with his left hand, and he returned to Gaotang with the remaining horses and Bai Gui.

In fact, Mengdi still has some money in his hands, just because there are only so many horses that can be bought in Wuyang, and he is also worried about Qi's attack on Lu, so he doesn't want to delay any longer.

Tian Chang had already returned to Linzi at this time, but the Tian clan was in charge here, and Mengdi then, with the help of the Tian clan, transported these horses back to the State of Lu.

When I saw Fei Yi again, a lot of sentry towers had been added, and they still looked very strong.

After entering the city, seeing Uncle Wang behind Ji Ran, Meng Di felt very relieved, nodded and asked.

"Mr. Ji, how could Feiyi's city be strengthened to such an extent in such a short period of time?"

"This is because I found a great talent who is good at construction. His name is Gongshuban. I asked him to be in charge of the city construction. In such a short period of time, he has achieved such results. He really has extraordinary abilities."

Gongshuban?Could it be the legendary Luban?Meng Di was quite impressed with this name, because he was also a fairy-like figure in the folks of the Han Dynasty. It is said that he has extraordinary skills and can do what others can't.

I once made a wooden bird in the sky, which can fly for a few days before falling down, but I don't know if it is true or not.

But this time is not the time to explore in detail, Mengdi introduced Bai Gui beside him to everyone.

"This Mr. Bai Guibai is a capable person I met when I was in Yan Kingdom, and he knows how to run a business."

Hearing this, Ji Ran thought of something, with a look of surprise on his face, he asked.

"Bai Gui! I heard that there is a high-ranking student in Guiguzi, that's the name, and a "golden book" must be passed on. Could it be Your Excellency?"

Bai Gui smiled and didn't hide it.

"Exactly, I don't know how to address this gentleman?"

"I'll make a plan."

"Ji Ran, the fisherman? I have met senior."

As he said that, Bai Gui bowed his head.

Ji Ran stroked his beard and smiled.

"I didn't expect that you would come back with my lord. Could it be that you want to stay with Ji as a companion?"

"Bai still had some doubts in his heart before, but now that he sees the senior, he will naturally stay."

After finishing speaking, Bai Gui looked at Mengdi who was beside him, and couldn't help but laugh.

"Bai's eyes are clumsy, but he didn't recognize it. It turns out that Brother Han is the Lord of Mengyi, Mengzi."

After the introduction, everyone walked towards the city, and after the banquet, everyone dispersed, only Ji Ran did not leave, he spoke at this time.

"Before that Uncle Wang came to Mengyi and told about my lord's stay in Qi, but now my lord hastily rushed back from Yan. Could it be that something happened?"

Meng Di sighed lightly, and said in a helpless tone.

"This time, in order to obtain the business of Yan State, I had no choice but to cooperate with the Tian family. The Tian family proposed a condition that I should take the initiative to attack when Qi State attacked Xiyun. I wonder if Mr. Ji has any clever plans?"

Hearing this, Ji Ran frowned and thought for a while.

"Qi is a country of thousands of chariots. It has been encroaching on the land of Lu over the years. If we go to war with them head-on at this time, I am afraid that the chances of winning are not great. However, the method of training the cavalry that the Lord has taught has merits. If it works properly, it may not necessarily lose. "

"Appreciate further details."

"The chariots on the plains have their advantages, but they also have their disadvantages. That is, they need to form an formation for a dignified battle. As long as we find a way to prevent the Qi army from taking over the formation, our army can win."
