Chapter 106: The Crown Prince Teaches and Educates
"I think that's inappropriate. Keeping him will definitely be more useful." Yu Heng blinked his big eyes, looking completely harmless.
Jiang Jinshi glanced at Yu Heng and suddenly said: "You don't want to take this opportunity to save the Crown Prince, do you?"
These words were not a joke; Jiang Jinshi really thought this of Yu Heng. After all, one side was mountain bandits and the other was the Crown Prince; did one even need to think about how to choose?
Moreover, few people could resist the temptation of the merit of following the dragon!
Yu Heng, however, patted his chest and said: "Since I have chosen to assist you, I will definitely not have two hearts. This is what my master taught me."
"Really?" Jiang Jinshi looked disbelieving.
"You said keeping him is useful, tell me about it." Li Xinyue chose to listen to Yu Heng's thoughts first and then make a judgment based on them.
Although Yu Heng had stayed at Yangguangzhai, his presence had not been strong, and this was a good opportunity to prove himself.
"You two stars will definitely compete for this world in the future, so..."
"Pause for a second, when did we say we wanted to compete for the world?" Hearing this, Jiang Jinshi had to interrupt the other party. What he could be sure of was that for now, he just wanted to live a better life and let the brothers who followed him live a good life too.
And Li Xinyue was even simpler; she just wanted to make money and enjoyed the process of making money.
Neither of them had thought about longer-term issues so far. Moreover, Yangguangzhai didn't even have a thousand people; talking about the 'world' seemed impossible for them.
Yu Heng said with rare seriousness: "This is the trend; there will definitely be that day!"
"Then you continue!" Jiang Jinshi raised his hand to signal Yu Heng.
Although he didn't have such thoughts for the time being, it wouldn't hurt to listen to what Yu Heng had to say.
"So keeping the Crown Prince has many benefits. First, the Crown Prince is not dead, and the Imperial Seal has not fallen into the hands of the Second Prince, so the Second Prince's ascension will naturally not win the hearts of the people.
Second, our uprising has a justification. Holding the Imperial Seal and fighting under the Crown Prince's name can save us a lot of trouble.
Third, although the Crown Prince was defeated in the capital, he should still have many supporters underneath. As long as we can use the Crown Prince's hand to win over these people, at least one-third of the world will be in our pockets." Yu Heng spoke broadly, becoming more and more excited as he spoke, as if he had already seen this scene.
After listening to Yu Heng's words, Jiang Jinshi's first reaction was: is this kid trying to trick me into being a wage earner for the Crown Prince?
Before Jiang Jinshi could think too much, Yu Heng continued: "As long as we kill the Crown Prince the moment we break into the capital and have the edict drafted in advance, we will sit in that position legitimately.
We could even make it simpler: use the Crown Prince until he is completely drained, and when he has no value, we can kill him. By then, others will have been tied to our pirate ship, and it will be difficult for them to get off; they will only be able to follow us to the end."
Jiang Jinshi took back his previous thought. It had nothing to do with the Crown Prince; this kid really wanted to conquer the world!
"Although I don't want to pour cold water on you, the fact is, if the Crown Prince still had people he could use, he wouldn't have had to travel all the way from the capital to Beijiang." Jiang Jinshi said so.
Li Xinyue thought for a while and added: "The Prince of Zhenbei might not be able to help him either, unless he can provide the Prince of Zhenbei with enough supplies to help him expel the Xiongnu, and then go south to retake the throne."
What made both of them breathe a sigh of relief was that although the other party's identity was far more noble than they had imagined, they no longer had to worry about a large army coming to wipe out Yangguangzhai.
"Keep him for now! We might not necessarily use him, but having him is better than not." Jiang Jinshi finally made up his mind. Keeping the Crown Prince was more cost-effective than killing him; he could still afford that bowl of rice every day.
Seeing his proposal rejected, Yu Heng was not discouraged. He only needed to do what he was supposed to do.
Jiang Jinshi went to see Wei Xikang and said straight to the point: "I cannot let you go. To prevent you from being bored in my stronghold, how about I find you a job?"
"What job?" Wei Xikang was dumbfounded. Being treated as a prisoner was one thing, but he actually had to work?
"There are many children in my stronghold. I wanted to find a teacher to enlighten them, but I haven't found one yet. You can fill in for me for a while." Jiang Jinshi naturally wouldn't tell Wei Xikang that he hadn't looked for one at all.
Wei Xikang was speechless. Although he didn't resist this, how could he teach students?
Jiang Jinshi took out the Three Character Classic that Li Xinyue had purchased and placed it in the other party's hand.
"Just teach this!"
"Three Character Classic?" Although Wei Xikang couldn't be considered well-read, he was a scholar, and he had never heard of this book.
"No problem, right?" Jiang Jinshi grinned, showing his teeth. He had found a free teacher to teach, and didn't even have to pay a monthly wage. Comfortable!
"Do I have the right to refuse?" Wei Xikang smiled bitterly.
"No! Then it's settled. Read the book carefully; don't embarrass yourself by teaching it wrong later!" After Jiang Jinshi finished speaking, he got up and walked outside, preparing to call everyone to gather.
Wei Xikang didn't respond, always feeling that Jiang Jinshi underestimated him too much.
When Wei Xikang opened the Three Character Classic, the more he read, the less he could hide the shock on his face.
"Catchy, concise, and clear. This... this is simply a good book for enlightenment!"
Upon receiving Jiang Jinshi's notification, the entire Yangguangzhai gathered, and for a time, everyone was worried.
The reason was none other than that Jiang Jinshi had just driven away Li Feng's family. This matter had only happened a short time ago, and everyone in the stronghold knew about it.
Jiang Cai brought Li Feng up the mountain. Li Feng didn't say a word the whole way. After arriving at the stronghold and seeing his parents, he fell to his knees with a thud and began to cry loudly.
This also attracted everyone's attention. From Jiang Cai's mouth, everyone learned the reason. Obviously, Jiang Cai also deliberately chose to say this when there were many people, so that everyone could avoid making mistakes in the future.
And Li Feng's parents' faces were livid with anger, and even his wife couldn't help but cry along.
They had only lived a good life for a few days; how did it end up like this? What should the whole family do in the coming days?
Li Feng's father raised his hand, wanting to hit his son, but in the end, he couldn't bring himself to do it. He only said to Jiang Cai:
"Trouble you, Jiang Cai, to pass a word to the Big Boss. It was my son who did wrong; I hope the Big Boss won't be angry."
Just a moment ago, everyone was working together, and in the blink of an eye, Li Feng's family was about to be driven down the mountain. This gave everyone a sense of crisis for the first time since coming up the mountain.
Especially Granny Li's children, who scrambled to find Granny Li, fearing that something might happen.
This matter had only just happened, and Li Feng's family was still packing their luggage and hadn't even left the mountain yet! Jiang Jinshi's notification had already come, which couldn't help but make everyone think more.
Especially those who were usually more active, they were now wondering if they had done anything wrong.
Even the elderly at home were uneasy and hurriedly questioned their children one by one, asking if they had done anything to wrong the stronghold. ===== CHAPTER 107 =====
