Chapter 1124 The Prince’s Visit
Fang Jun left Prince Wu's Mansion in a happy mood.
As for why you still feel happy after receiving one share of capital and giving away two shares of profit?
Hey, even if I kill you, I won’t say anything...
Men always have a little secret in their hearts.
When he arrived at Jingzhao Mansion Yamen the next day, Dugu Cheng put an official document on his desk.
Looking at the large red seals above and his own personal seal below, Fang Jun's mouth split open and he almost burst into laughter...
Dugu Cheng was puzzled and took another look at the "military order" approved by His Majesty. He thought to himself that this was obviously a big pit. Why was this stickman so happy after jumping in?
Then he asked: "Fu Yin, this... what are you going to do?"
Everyone knows that the renovation of the east and west cities requires a huge amount of manpower, material resources, and money. Jingzhao Mansion alone cannot afford it. The "Urban Management Bureau" has been vigorously rectifying the two cities in the east and west recently, and fines are flying...
This caused the merchants and shops to complain and complain, but even so, it was just a drop in the bucket, and it was far from being able to afford the renovation and renovation of the east and west cities.
Everyone is waiting to see Fang Jun’s joke...
Fang Jun glanced at Dugu Cheng and said with a smile: "The mountain man has his own clever plan!"
Dugu Cheng complained wildly in his heart: I will silently watch you pretending to be cool, and when you cry, we will laugh at you again...
Soon, Wang Xuance came to report.
Fang Jun waved his hand and drove Dugu Cheng away. This guy is from the Guanlong Group. Although the Dugu family is now ambiguous and uncertain, they are in the same camp as the Guanlong Group, and their hearts are still leaning towards that side. If he is When he detects his intentions, it is inevitable that there will be many complications, which is not beautiful.
Dugu Cheng resigned full of doubts.
Originally, Fang Jun planned to let Wang Xuance go to Tubo to manage the highland barley wine affairs of the "Eastern Datang Company", but Wang Xuance's ability surprised Fang Jun. No wonder every time traveler has the habit of collecting famous officials and generals. It is really Because it’s so useful!
So he postponed Wang Xuance's trip to Tubo to help him carry out his big plan...
Putting a thick stack of account books on Fang Jun's desk, Wang Xuance said: "Fu Yin, I have already followed your instructions to investigate the backgrounds of merchants and shops in the east and west cities, and they are all recorded here. It's just that among them Some of them involve the privacy of various wealthy families, so the information will inevitably be distorted, but generally there will not be any major omissions.”
There are more than a thousand merchant shops in the east and west cities?
It involves almost most of the powerful families in the world, and there are many cross-shareholdings and so on. It is really difficult to keep track of it. Fang Jun is deeply gratified that Wang Xuance has been able to achieve such results within a few months from a year ago to now.
A great god is a great god, his attributes are incredible, and he can level up quickly...
After staying in the Yamen for a while, Fang Jun headed back home.
All actions have to wait for spring to bloom, and it is useless to be anxious at this time.
Returning to the mansion, he went to Fang Xuanling's study to sit for a while.
Fang Xuanling is now more and more free, and most of the affairs of the Shangshu Province are ignored. They are all dealt with by his subordinates Wei Cong, Pei Xizai, Li Xinglian and other ministers. When I have nothing to do, I take a nap, go back to my hometown to drink tea and read, or go to the farm outside the city to supervise the compilation of the "Dictionary". Even if something happens, most of the time I don't say anything. I live a leisurely life and just wait for the day. His Majesty Li Er was gracious and allowed him to retire in office.
The two men chatted for a few words, and then they got to the topic of "military orders"...
Fang Jun had explained to Fang Xuanling beforehand and explained his strategic layout in detail, and Fang Xuanling approved it. It's just that Fang Jun's approach is indeed a bit "deviant", and Fang Xuanling can't help but worry.
"As you wish, Changsun Wuji has become your boss. The three provinces have issued documents together and approved by His Majesty. You can go all out and do something big. It's just that my father feels that this method is a bit rash. If What if we can’t raise that much money?”
"Father, don't worry. The aristocratic families have been in business for hundreds of years. Which one of them doesn't have a cellar full of copper coins, gold, and jade treasures? A corner of the south of the Yangtze River can raise tens of millions of dollars from a salt farm, let alone Guanzhong, where the emperor has been established since ancient times? There will only be more, No less.”
Seeing her son's vow, Fang Xuanling didn't ask.
There is always time for a young eagle to spread its wings. In the vast sky, it has to rely on its own pair of wings to soar. Even if a father can protect him for a while, how can he protect him for a lifetime? After all, he still had to go out on his own.
It would be a good thing if he made some mistake now and received a lesson. After all, he is here and can bear some of the burden for him, which is better than suffering a loss after he retires and leaves the tea to cool without anyone to look after him...
So we simply stopped talking about political affairs and talked about poetry and songs.
Fang Xuanling was born as a serious Jinshi and had a profound foundation. How could Fang Jun be comparable? Let him write, and he can "write" famous works through the ages at will, but let him put the theory...
Isn't this difficult?
After chatting for a few words, Fang Jun was sweating profusely.
It happened that a servant came to report that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had come to visit Princess Gaoyang, and Fang Jun quickly escaped.
Fang Xuanling was left speechless and shaking his head.
With such a stick and only a smattering of knowledge about the Four Books and Five Classics, how could he be able to write such a masterpiece that will last through the ages?
I can’t figure it out...
In the back house, Prince Li Chengqian was very happy to see Princess Gaoyang, who was gradually becoming more and more beautiful. He asked her about her physical condition and daily diet, told her to take care of herself, and then ordered the accompanying chamberlain to hand over the gift list. Most of them are some supplements given to Princess Gaoyang by His Majesty Li Er, and there is also a share from Li Chengqian himself.
Li Chengqian is a generous man, so naturally he will not miss Wu Meiniang's share...
Princess Gao Yang was very happy and chatted with Li Chengqian for a while. When Fang Jun came in to meet Li Chengqian, she got up to avoid it and asked the cook to prepare a banquet.
The two sat down.
Li Chengqian looked at Fang Jun and complained: "You are not kind."
He learned this from Fang Jun...
Fang Jun was slightly stunned: "When did I offend His Highness?"
Li Chengqian had a look of resentment on his face: "The third son's "Prince Wu's Family Instructions" has now been spread throughout the capital. The calligraphy is good and the article is better. It is enough to warn future generations and should be regarded as a family heirloom."
Fang Jun understands, this is jealousy, jealous that Li Ke has it but you, Li Chengqian, don't...
"At that time, I felt something in my heart, and my thoughts came to me like a god. I just wrote that article. If I wanted to write it again, I would definitely not be able to write it."
Fang Jun said perfunctorily.
Such a classic article, do you think it is just Chinese cabbage? You can have it whenever you want it?
Of course Li Chengqian also knew this truth, but he was inevitably depressed. That article was really good!
"Okay, Gu Gu originally wanted to ask for one to be used as a family heirloom. Since you can't write it, it won't be difficult for you. It's just that you brought the third child and Li Zhi to make money, but left Gu, the prince, aside. Isn't it a bit Too much?”
Li Chengqian seemed to be competing with Fang Jun today, always finding faults.
Fang Jun said helplessly: "Your Highness Mingjian, you also know the situation of King Wu. To put it nicely, he is cautious, to put it badly, he is trembling. It is not easy to be a prince! Your Highness, you naturally have brotherhood and brotherhood, and brotherly harmony in your heart. But how can you resist what others think? Do? If His Highness and King Wu change places, Wei Chen will still take care of His Highness. But now that you are the crown prince, you have to keep a low profile. Wei Chen can bring King Wu to make money, but he cannot drag His Highness along. Then the nature will change.”
This is true.
The cowardly Li Chengqian is serious, soft-hearted, generous and kind, while Li Ke is a charming and sincere gentleman. These two are more worthy of dating.
In comparison, Li Tai, who has a fat head and big ears, looks easy-going but is actually cunning. Li Zhi, a young young lady, is too obsessed with being cute all day long. These are not good things...
Besides, who else knows the character of these two people better than Fang Jun?
Speaking of Li Zhi alone, he seemed to be a submissive brother and brother. The bad things were all caused by Wu Meiniang and Xu Jingzong and Li Yifu. He, the emperor, was jointly and severally responsible for his lack of restraint.
But is Li Zhi really so incompetent?
Absolutely not.
There is no need for specific examples to prove Li Zhi's ability. You only need to look through the history books and you will find that everything Li Zhi wanted to do was not accomplished in the end!
Among His Majesty Li Er's sons, if you ask who Fang Jun admires the most, it is Li Zhi! If asked who he wanted to stay away from most, it would be Li Zhi!
If you were to comment on who was the most powerful "schemist" in the Zhenguan Dynasty, Fang Jun would not vote for Wu Meiniang, but for Li Zhi...(End of Chapter)
