Chapter 759: Prince Wei's Stubbornness
The King of Wei was quite talkative. After mentioning the Tang Family Trading Firm, he changed the subject to the people's livelihood. He likely didn't want to dwell on the firm after suffering a loss at their hands.
"The people's livelihood is secure across the lands governed by the King of Wei, so the commoners hold the King in their hearts. As the saying goes, water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it. The same is true of the people..."
The King of Wei listened to these words very earnestly.
"Mister Chen, how is it that you seem to know everything?"
Chen Changsheng smiled. "I've traveled far and wide. The more I chat with people, the more I naturally learn. Even if I'm just spinning wild tales, I can still manage a few convincing lines."
Prince Wei shook his head. "You don't seem to be spinning wild tales, Mister Chen. To my mind, what you've said about many of these matters makes eminent sense."
Chen Changsheng merely offered a faint smile and waved his hand. "Only a few things make sense. Most of the time, This Chen just spouts crooked logic."
The two chatted for a long time, eventually sharing a meal in the Daoist temple.
The food at Qingxian Temple was relatively simple, but the King of Wei didn't mind. He had endured hardship since childhood and eaten just about everything.
