Chapter 671 Collaboration
Do you hate me or don’t you
I'm right there
Not sad, not happy...
According to Fang Jun's reflection, Tsangyang Gyatso is probably a senior time traveler. He has long looked down upon the rise and fall of clouds in the human world, transcending life and death, and not being able to hold on to all things. But Fang Jun is a common man, far from being free and easy and proud to treat the common people like a stupid dog.
What's more, how could Changsun Wuji's status in the heart of His Majesty Li Er and the Changsun family's influence in the Tang Dynasty be taken lightly? Being resented by such a person and such a family, I have to be careful whether the beam will fall and hit my head when I sleep...
In Chang'an City, Changsun Wuji might not dare to openly do anything to him, but it can be expected that there must be a series of methods waiting for him in Jiangnan.
Fang Jun raised his head and cast his eyes from the desk to the window of the study room. The thin and dense rain washed the trees, flowers and plants in the yard, making them green and green.
In the past, Chang'an City, where scholars gathered and was noisy and bustling, took the opportunity to be safe during this spring rain. All the scholars were writing furiously in the examination room prepared by the Ministry of Rites, using knowledge to gain a future for themselves.
The imperial examination has begun...
Exhaling softly, his mind returned to the book desk again, and he wrote vigorously.
The establishment of the new navy and the planning of the city shipping department all involve perfect systems, abundant talents, and massive funds. This is a huge project that requires long-term planning and thorough preparation, and a solid plan is necessary.
Fang Jun wrote down the information about the Municipal Shipping Department in his memory, as well as some systems of later customs, and then summarized them, prioritized them, and gradually formed a complete plan.
If anyone in this era is asked to build a shipping company out of thin air to take charge of maritime trade, no matter how outstanding the IQ is, it will not be possible in one step. Problems will have to be discovered and corrected in the long management process...
But Fang Jun can improve the system to the greatest extent. He knows what kind of system has what advantages and disadvantages, how to maximize strengths and avoid weaknesses, and how to optimize resources.
This is a benefit for travelers.

The drizzle continued, and there were puddles on the long street. Horses' hooves stepped on them, splashing water droplets. The houses along the street were shrouded in fine rain, like smoke and mist. Even the dark green tiles on the walls were washed to shine. The green mountains in the distance were even more hazy, like green and dark green.
The long street is like a wash, misty rain is misty, and the mighty Yangtze River flows slowly outside the city, like an ink painting, full of quiet etherealness and the elegance of the south of the Yangtze River...
Haiyu City continues its exquisite beauty for thousands of years, and is as quiet as a girl in a boudoir in a drizzle.
In the northeast corner of the county seat, in a street lined with wine flags, there is a two-story wooden building paved with bluestone. The red paint on the window and door frames had obviously just been painted recently, and it became even brighter and more beautiful after being wetted by the rain.
In the room on the second floor, the floor is as smooth as a mirror, and there are washed fresh fruits and vegetables on the small and exquisite carved lacquer coffee table, as well as a white porcelain teapot that exudes the quiet fragrance of tea.
The four of them sat around the coffee table, talking softly, sometimes picking up a cherry and putting it in their mouths to chew, sometimes taking a sip of warm tea, savoring the distant fragrance.
It looks relaxed and freehand, and the atmosphere is pleasant...
But when an old man with white beard and hair on the left picked up the delicate and crystal clear tea cup, his slightly trembling hands revealed his inner nervousness. He took a sip of tea and pretended to be calm on his rosy face, but from time to time his eyes looked through the propped-up window at the sparsely populated alleyway where the rain was falling.
A middle-aged man with a square face opposite him smiled "haha" with some disdain in his eyes. He looked at the old man and said teasingly: "Brother Wang, please be patient. With Magistrate Xiao here, the entire Haiyu City is in control, as if it's in the palm of your hand." Why should we be frightened when we look at patterns?”
Brother Wang looked at the smiling, fair-faced, beardless middle-aged official sitting on one side and showed a wry smile: "To say it's frightened is a bit exaggerated. But it's inevitable that I feel anxious. Everyone, those things are... The imperial court has built a new navy. If this happens, the emperor will have his head chopped off?”
The atmosphere in the room became slightly tense.
The square-faced middle-aged man curled up his lips and snorted with disdain: "Idiot! Your Majesty is involved in the south of the Yangtze River, and his intentions are obvious. Do you think your Majesty will be able to spare you if you just shrink your head and act like a turtle? Others may There is still a slight change There is no room for you, but your Wang family... Could it be that Brother Wang is so forgetful that in a few days, he can't remember how your brother slandered Fang Jun in Chang'an City, how he lost face, and how he made His Majesty Long Yan furious? "
Brother Wang's thin body trembled uncontrollably, and his face turned pale.
Another old man with a round face like the Maitreya Buddha smiled before saying anything and said comfortingly: "Brother Changsun, why do you need to scare Brother Yu'an? If we were in Chang'an again, we would be under the might of His Majesty the Dragon, and we would be able to bear the thunder, rain and dew easily. But. This is Jiangnan, and this is Haiyu City. Even if you are slightly disrespectful to Your Majesty, it is just a slip of the tongue. Your Majesty has a broad mind. Can you still chase Jiangnan and punish us? "
The room was quiet again.
These words...are vaguely disrespectful!
You were afraid of the emperor in Chang'an, but when you arrived in Jiangnan, the emperor had no control over you?
There was even more contempt for Brother Wang in his tone.
The face of the square-faced eldest grandson changed slightly, then returned to normal, he chuckled and said: "The eight Jiangnan surnames have been reproducing for hundreds of years, and they are already as good as those of Shandong counties and Guanzhong clans. Your Majesty is kind and virtuous, if it weren't for the great cause of the Eastern Expedition. , they are definitely willing to let the Jiangnan gentry govern Jiangnan.”
He had to flatter these arrogant Jiangnan nobles, but he had already cursed in his heart - living in a corner and short-sighted, how could that emperor be a good man and a believer? If the Jiangnan nobles continue to be so arrogant, they may be destroyed by His Majesty Li Er one day!
Speaking of which, cooperation is cooperation. Apart from cooperation, it is better to keep a distance to avoid being dragged down by these idiots...
Brother Wang was irritated by the round-faced fat man's words. He glared at him and said loudly: "Zhu Qu, don't get angry with a certain yin and yang! Although my younger brother failed in Chang'an this time, he still stood up for all the Jiangnan nobles! Before my brother set off for Jiangnan, you kept saying that you had never forgotten your kindness. Why did you turn your back on me in the blink of an eye? "
The fat man named Zhu Qu sneered: "I thought that my brother was well-known in the south of the Yangtze River and was a well-known figure. How could he have some talent? Who knows, but it was just a reputation that was praised by everyone, and he had no ability at all! He was beaten with a stick and a bamboo tube. That yellow-mouthed boy is so shameless that you still have the nerve to scream in front of someone?”
Brother Wang almost burst out of anger. He stood up, pointed angrily at Zhu Qu, and cursed loudly: "Fart! You are treacherous and cold-hearted. I am ashamed to be in your company!"
Zhu Qu also lost his temper and stood up to confront each other without giving in. He rounded his eyes and retorted: "I consider Chinese and foreign figures to be the best in the world. Although the Wang family is a minister, I only use it to serve the emperor and have merit, and I don't want to be with you!"
The Wang family thinks that it is the best at home among Chinese and foreign figures. Although there are many ministers in the family, I despise them and will not associate with them!
Wang Yu'an was so angry that his face was filled with blood, his whole body was shaking, and his beard stood up!
These words came from Zhu Qu, but they were not the first ones he said. The first person to say this was called Yuan Lang. This man lived through the three dynasties of Chen, Sui and Tang. He was upright, righteous, cautious and kind, and was respected by the world.
Because although the Wang family had a high status, first Wang Dun made a rebellion and then Wang Meng surrendered to the Sui Dynasty, so he was despised and ridiculed by Yuan Lang.
This sentence was widely circulated in Jiangnan, and the impact on Wang's reputation was almost devastating. Perhaps it was because of his bad reputation that Wang Xue'an volunteered to stand up for the Jiangnan gentry and went north to Chang'an.
Who would have thought that he would end up in ruins? Not only did he fail to achieve his goal, but he also lost his lifelong reputation...
The Zhu family of Wu County suffered heavy losses after Hou Jing's Rebellion and did not recover for many years. As a result, Wang Meng descended on the Sui Dynasty and rebelled against the enemy. The Zhu family of Wu County was almost wiped out. Among the four surnames in Wu County, the Zhu family was the weakest. , how could you not be filled with hatred for the Wang family, like a lump in your throat?
Seeing the two of them staring at each other cross-eyed, the square-faced eldest grandson refused to listen to his advice. Magistrate Xiao, who had been sitting calmly over there, knocked on the coffee table in front of him and said in a cold voice: "You two want the whole world to know. What did we do, and then let Fang Er come to Suzhou and kill him directly to settle the score? "
The two of them stared at each other angrily for a few times and sat down separately.
The stairs creaked and someone walked up the stairs quickly. (End of chapter)
