Chapter 905: Collecting rent [asking for votes]
"Why did Uncle Shi teach me?"
Hearing this, Changsun Wuji laughed happily.
Compared with the previous politeness, alienation and secret vigilance, Feng Yandao at this time was truly bowing his head to ask for advice.
As long as Feng Yandao can stand on his front, then he has high hopes for Feng Yandao's move south.
The Feng family’s heritage is absolutely profound and unfathomable...
Feng Deyi is indeed an anomaly.
This man was born in the Bohai Feng family, the grandson of Feng Long, the crown prince of the Northern Qi Dynasty, and the son of Feng Zixiu, the governor of Tongzhou in the Sui Dynasty. In his early years, he served as Yang Su's staff, and later he was responsible for supervising the construction of Renshou Palace. He was promoted to the internal history minister and was highly relied upon by Yu Shiji. After the Jiangdu Incident, he took refuge with Yu Wenhuaji and served as the internal historian. After Yu Wenhua's defeat, Feng Deyi surrendered to the Tang Dynasty and gradually gained the trust of Emperor Gaozu of the Tang Dynasty. He was promoted to the rank of Zhongshu Ling and sealed as the Duke of the State. Later, he became an official of Tiance Mansion under the then Qin King Li Er.
Moreover, all the members of Prince Jiancheng’s party are familiar with each other...
If Lu Bu is said to be a "domestic slave with three surnames", Feng Deyi is no different, or even more so. However, unlike Lu Bu who changed his surname from one family to another and ended up being yelled at and beaten until he died tragically in Baimen Tower without even being a sweetheart, Feng Deyi was smooth and well-liked, and almost every "leader" praised him greatly. There is a lot of trust.
It can be said that the civil and military personnel of the Manchu Dynasty had a deep relationship with Feng De Yi.
And Feng Yandao himself is also talented and intelligent, and has great talent for official career...
"My dear nephew, don't panic, let alone be depressed. The situation on Canghai Road is grim, controlled by Fang Jun and suppressed everywhere. It seems that the future is slim and there is no chance, but how can it be an opportunity? Everyone knows the situation well, and there is no way to do anything. No one will be surprised, and no one will criticize him, but if he can thunder in a silent place, he will definitely make his nephew soar to the sky and become famous all over the world. "
Changsun Wuji smiled broadly and encouraged him.
This is true.
Now Canghaidao is like a stepmother, being suppressed by Fang Jun. Isn't it true that Zhang Liang, who has made great achievements in hundreds of battles, is helpless and allows himself to be bullied? It's normal to do nothing, but if a glimmer of hope can emerge under such circumstances, who dares not to praise it?
"Whether it is a Jiangnan family or a Shandong noble family, not to mention our Guanzhong clan, they will stand behind my nephew and give their full support. My nephew can deal with Fang Jun without any scruples, but there is only one thing we must remember, the salt field Don’t move lightly with Shibo Division!”
Feng Yandao's face was full of excitement: "My nephew knows!"
Just kidding, he's not a fool. Why is Fang Jun so trusted and protected by His Majesty? The main reason is that this product can make money! Your Majesty is thinking about the plan of the Eastern Expedition. Even the Goguryeo people know this clearly. How could Feng Yandao not know? It can be said that whoever can raise money and food for His Majesty Li Er will definitely rise to the top at this stage!
His Majesty Li Er can ignore the attacks against Fang Jun by the aristocratic family members, but there is a limit to this, that is, the salt field and the Shipping Department must not be destroyed!
This is His Majesty Li Er's money bag. Whoever touches it, I'm sure His Majesty Li Er will be in a hurry!
Changsun Wuji straightened his back, raised his hand to Feng Yandao, and said sternly: "My nephew must also know about the grievances between my eldest grandson's family and Fang Jun. Due to my status, I can't attack that guy directly, but I am so angry that I can't help it." Venting everywhere. My nephew’s trip, although it is You have worked hard for your own future, but I have also benefited from it. Here, I wish my nephew Qingyun a prosperous career. If Fang Jun loses his army, I will be deeply shocked. I will personally pour wine for my nephew in the future!"
Feng Yandao quickly stood up and avoided it, refusing to accept the gift: "My nephew will definitely do his best to live up to his great uncle's love!"
It was obvious that Changsun Wuji was the one who used Feng Yandao as a spearman, and used him to deal with Fang Jun to vent his hatred.
But Feng Yandao didn't feel that he was being used at all.
This is a conspiracy by Sun Wuji, his tricks and words are all in the open, so that you can clearly understand that I am using you, but also make you unable to refuse. After all, the benefits of Feng Yandao are self-evident.
It is said that Changsun Wuji is a "yin person", but he is still very proficient in scheming, making people willing to take advantage of him, and he is still happy and grateful after being used...
*****
Almost at the same time, a roar came from a courtyard not far from the Huating Town Office...
This is the office space of Canghai Road. It is a courtyard composed of a two-story building and several wing rooms. Originally, when Fang Jun was the general manager of Canghai Road, he never worked here because he controlled the affairs of the Royal Navy and Huating Town. Instead, all matters were handled at the town office.
Now that Zhang Liang has taken over the position of general manager, he is clearly separated from Huating Town and the Royal Navy, so he has no choice but to set up the Yamen of Canghaidao here. Fang Jun was kind enough to prepare an office space for Canghai Road in advance, otherwise Zhang Liang would have to face the dilemma of being "homeless" when the entire Huating Town was occupied by Fang Jun's land...
But Zhang Liang was not grateful to Fang Jun at all.
He even believed that the reason why Fang Jun gave him an office was to keep Canghaidao in his sight and to maintain control and suppression of Canghaidao at all times.
As for kindness, does Fang Jun have that kind of thing?
And now, Zhang Liang confirmed that his guess was correct...
He stared angrily at the clerk in front of him, wishing he could pull out his sword and cut him in two!
"Are you looking for death? How dare you ask me for rent?"
Zhang Liang's eyes spit fire.
How could you make Zhang Liangqing embarrassed when he was once the duke of the country and the general manager, but he was chased by others to pay the rent?
But the clerk in front of him didn't care. He was frightened by Zhang Liang's rage, but he still said clearly: "General Manager, please calm down. You are not seeking death, but this is the rule in Huating Town! The entire Huating Town The town is the fiefdom of our Marquis, and all the houses were built by the Marquis. Until now, not a single house or piece of land is for sale in Huating Town, and all the properties are It belongs to the Marquis, including the courtyard where you live... Canghaidao owned nothing at the time. In order to clarify each other's rights and responsibilities, the Marquis leased this courtyard from Huating Town in the name of the general manager, stating that the monthly rent was one thousand guan. Now that you are the general manager, you will naturally bear the responsibility for the past in the lease contract... You are a sensible person, how can there be any reason in the world to rent someone else's house without paying? "
This actually makes sense.
Although Fang Jun had the final say at the beginning, Canghaidao is Canghaidao and Huating Town is Huating Town, and they cannot be confused. Canghai Road has no direct jurisdiction, so there is no office space, not even a place to station troops. Since it is located on the boundary of Huating Town, it is natural to pay rent to Huating Town.
Even Fang Jun didn’t ask Canghai Dao for the parking fee of the warship, which is enough to be noble and upright...
But is the problem so superficial?
Of course not!
When Fang Jun and His Majesty Li Er wanted to get the position of General Manager of Canghaidao March, they patted their chests and boasted to Haikou that he could pull up Canghaidao without any money from the court, and he would definitely lead the charge during the Eastern Expedition. Charge into battle for His Majesty Li Er!
Therefore, unlike all the state capital marching roads in the world, Canghai Road does not have any funding from the court, and everything must be self-reliant.
So here comes the problem. Fang Jun was the general manager back then, and Huating Town was his fief. The so-called "rent" was just a formality, just switching from left hand to right hand. But now that Zhang Liang has succeeded as the general manager, he must spend real money.
But have you ever seen a yamen where even government offices have to pay rent? !
It's not that Zhang Liang can't come up with the money. Even if Canghaidao doesn't have a penny of financial allocation, it's not like he can't pay it out of his own pocket. But he can't afford to lose this person!
After working so hard to get the position of Chief Superintendent of Canghai Road, only to end up having to pay rent for the official house?
Where to put his bright face!
Zhang Liang's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot, and he glared at the clerk in front of him with blazing eyes: "You can't talk to me. If you want to collect rent, let your Lord Marquis come and tell me in person!"
Fang Jun, this bastard, is nothing!
Is he short of this little money?
Just to disgust people...
The clerk did not press hard and said after hearing the words: "Okay, but I have a small responsibility. Why don't you take a look and sign and make a guarantee?"
Zhang Liang couldn't bear it any longer, he pointed his halberd and said angrily: "If you dare to make noise again, believe it or not, I will chop you with a knife?"
Are you kidding me? A dignified prince writes an IOU for rent?
This is simply unreasonable!
Zhang Liang was also the one who rolled in the sea of blood while charging into the battle. This time, he became so angry that the clerk was so frightened that he peed his pants and ran away...
Zhang Liang was so angry that he turned around and kicked a chair out with a bang.
It costs money to eat, drink water, and live in a house...
Damn it, Fang Jun, you’ve gone too far!
No way, there are still two updates today. I will try to write more tomorrow, please bear with me...
