Chapter 1381 What exactly do you want?
Kong Yingda asked curiously: "That Dong Datang firm is so profitable?"
His family also has some shares in the company. Although they have cents, they have never heard the manager of the family say how much they share, so it must be not much. Could it be that this kid has taken advantage of him and presented everything to the shareholders? Is it a false account?
Fang Jun said: "I didn't plan to make too much money before, so as not to have trouble when dividing the money. Now that I need money, just go out and make money. The Eastern Datang Company is connected to the ocean, and its goods are shipped across the seven seas. It has collected the wealth of hundreds of countries, how can it provide for it? Can’t afford a college?”
Fang Xuanling's eyelids twitched. What kind of nonsense are you talking about?
He Zui has never distributed large-scale dividends. Is it because you think it is too troublesome to distribute money?
If this word spreads, I am afraid that all the aristocratic families who have shares in the company will scold you to death...
His Majesty Li Er probably also felt that this boy's words were too irritating, so he stood up and said: "After the court meeting in three days, come up with your plan in the political hall and let the prime ministers and ministers discuss it."
This sentence almost expresses His Majesty Li Er's attitude towards this college...
When he turned around, he saw Fang Jun looking strange, and he couldn't help but wonder: "What's wrong?"
Fang Jun glanced at his father and saw that his father lowered his eyebrows and said nothing, so he had to say: "What the hell... In three days, it will be the day of the banquet at Weichen's house..."
His Majesty Li Er suddenly understood and nodded: "Then I will come over to join in the fun after the big court meeting. After the banquet, I will find a place in the house to discuss with the ministers."
When Fang Xuanling gave birth to a grandson, naturally all the officials were present. Even the eldest grandson Wuji, who had always been in disagreement with him and had been in conflict with each other recently, was also present to congratulate him. Otherwise, wouldn't he be said to have no courage? Since there is no shortage of ministers and ministers, it is no different from the political hall meeting.
Anyway, it’s not that we need to come up with a policy right away, we’re just discussing its feasibility, and there’s no need to be so particular about it.
After saying this, His Majesty Li Er took the prince and left.
Kong Yingda has not returned home yet, so he naturally has to go home first, otherwise a large group of filial sons and grandsons may not be able to sit still. The head of the family has traveled thousands of miles to Beijing but has not returned home. How do you want the people in the city to talk about it? If a descendant is not labeled as being unfilial, it could cost someone his life.
Fang Xuanling and his son rushed to see each other off.
*****
After seeing off His Majesty Li Er, the Prince and Kong Yingda, Fang Xuanling invited Yu Ming to drink tea in the backyard, but Yu Ming refused. He stayed in Jiangnan for a long time, thinking about his grandchildren, and wanted to go and see them before he could feel at ease.
Fang Xuanling returned to the house. Fang Jun said goodbye to Yu Mingshi and ordered his servants to bring out the horses and go to see Zhuangzi in Lishan Mountain.
Yuming asked: "Where does Erlang want to go?"
"The spring plowing in Zhuangzi has not yet ended. I went over to take a look, especially with the large-scale cotton cultivation this year. Most of the dealers are inexperienced. I really feel uneasy if I don't go and take a look."
"Then I'll go and have a look too."
Yu Ming knew that Fang Jun attached great importance to cotton, but he didn't understand why. For a person like him, there were some things that he couldn't understand and some moral principles that he couldn't understand. That was simply more unbearable than not eating for ten days.
Fang Jun didn't care, so he immediately ordered someone to lead an extra strong horse, and brought a large group of generals with him to gallop through the city, attracting the attention of passers-by on the street. Occasionally, police officers from Jingzhao Prefecture or Chang'an and Wannian counties saw someone riding on the street and came to stop them. When they saw Fang Jun, his former boss, from a distance, they immediately stayed away and did not dare to do so. Step forward...
Yu Ming has lived for a long time, and Xianyun Yehe is used to living alone. He has always acted in a low-key manner. How has he ever experienced such ostentation? Instead of feeling that Fang Jun was arrogant and doting on Meng Lang, the old man found this novel feeling quite interesting and accelerated continuously along the way.
After leaving Chunming Gate and crossing Baqiao, my horizons instantly became brighter.
The land in the fields is flat and criss-crossed with criss-crossing roads. As far as the eye can see, Li Mountain is covered in green indigo, which is refreshing. This group of knights accelerated their horses even faster, with the wind whistling in their ears, and they galloped along the cement road until they reached the mountainside.
In the fields on both sides of the road, farmers were working with hoes and pickaxes, and children riding bullocks passed slowly and leisurely. The sky was blue, the spring was bright, and the scene was peaceful and peaceful.
"Lead the peasants of the time, sow hundreds of grains, and the horses will send you privately. After thirty miles, I will also serve you and cultivate, ten thousand dimensions... When the king became king, he led the farmers to the fields, sown hundreds of grains and worked diligently. The monarch and the people farmed together. , it can be said that it is a prosperous and peaceful time, and people's livelihood is worry-free. Now, looking at the land of Guanzhong, things are prosperous and people are prosperous, and the weather is good, which is the harbinger of a prosperous age. You are born at the right time, and your blessings are endless. "
Yuming jumped off his horse and became very popular with poetry. He recited a verse from the Book of Songs to express his feelings.
Fang Jun also dismounted, holding the horse's reins with one hand and pointing to the farmer carrying a hoe, shovel, and shovel in the field, and said: "Everyone in the world has seen that a certain iron factory is making money every day, but they have never seen that because of a certain iron factory, it is constantly making money." The investment in new technologies has made the quality of iron materials better and better. That is to say, it is strong and tough. As a result, farm tools have been greatly improved, and the work efficiency has been more than doubled. Not to mention that the army's swords and armor have become stronger, greatly reducing wear and tear, and indirectly saving the treasury half of the military expenses for maintenance and replacement. "
Yu Ming naturally knew what he meant and nodded: "With iron smelting, just a slight improvement can benefit the national economy and people's livelihood a lot. It can be seen that every technology used to the extreme benefits all people and makes the country rich and strong, so Erlang From the construction process of a super academy, the technology of all walks of life can be improved rapidly. ”
Fang Jun laughed loudly: "The one who knows me is Yu Ming!"
The two of them each held their horses and walked in the fields. Fang Jun would throw away the reins and walk into the fields from time to time, instructing the farmers on the details of farming and answering some questions about farming.
Yu Ming looked at the satisfied smile on Fang Jun's face when the farmer got answers and advice, and suddenly felt that at this moment, Fang Jun was getting far more joy than when the world praised him for his "genius in poetry and peerless literary talent." When I smile, I smile more happily, more sincerely, and more satisfied...
Maybe... this kid would rather be called a farmer?
Yu Ming was speechless and laughed.
Coming out of the field and stomping the dirt on his feet, Fang Jun looked at Yu Ming's old face in surprise: "Why does my husband smile so happily?"
Yu Ming's smile remained unchanged and he smiled without saying a word.
"What a mess..." Fang Jun muttered and continued to move forward.
The group of people climbed a gentle hill, and a small village appeared in front of them.
Fang Jun pointed out: "Here are all the refugees who were homeless due to the snowstorm two years ago. Fortunately, His Majesty's kindness gave this place to the younger generation, so the younger generation resettled these refugees here. After all, they have a home to return to. Having fields to farm is truly a blessing among misfortunes.”
Yu Ming traveled around the world and saw all the suffering in the world. Naturally, he knew what a miserable end these homeless victims would face if they had no place to take them. The able-bodied laborers among them may be spared, and will either be sold into slavery or become bandits. Don't think that there will be no bandits and bandits now that the world is at peace. The world is too big, and there are countless places in the mountains and old forests in every corner. There are fierce bandits everywhere.
As for the old, weak, women and children, they can only resign themselves to their fate and wait for as long as it takes.
What's more, once there is no food, Yu Ming has seen this kind of thing more than once or twice... That is truly the most miserable situation in the world.
"I still don't understand." Yu Ming stopped and stood on the hill, with the mountain breeze blowing slightly and his clothes flying.
"What don't you understand?" Fang Jun asked in surprise.
Yu Ming turned around and stared at Fang Jun with his eyes: "What do you want?"
Fang Jun was stunned and confused.
Yu Ming continued to ask: "You said you don't care about such a college that can be remembered forever, but you only care about the process of building the college... But I don't understand, what do you want?"
Fang Jun was stunned for a moment, then laughed, turning to look at an old man walking up from the hillside tremblingly on a cane.
The old man's beard and hair were all white, and his body was relatively strong. He greeted him from a distance: "Erlang is here? Oh my, the old man's eyes are not blind yet. It looks like he is here from a distance."
Fang Jun hurriedly took two steps forward, supported the old man, and said with concern: "Please be patient! Why are you wandering around by yourself when your family is not here?"
The old man smiled: "My son and daughter-in-law have all gone to the fields, and my grandson has also gone to study in the school built by Erlang. Only a loser like Old Man is left in the family. It is a good time for spring plowing, so you must plant the seeds quickly, otherwise How can I deal with this God, how can I deal with Erlang? The old man wants to go down to the ground to help, but if the children don't use it, how can he dare to hinder the children's hands and feet? "
"Then you have to pay attention. If it falls, wouldn't it make the children more worried?"
"Hey, I'm not so squeamish! It's already noon, do you want to go to Lao Chen's house to sit and have a drink? It happens that Lao Chen has just made lunch, and Erlang also wants to try Lao Chen's craftsmanship!"
"Isn't this bad? My son is working in the fields. If someone eats his lunch, wouldn't he be hungry?"
Farmers are used to being poor. Even if their lives are a little better now, they will never waste food. There will be one person's share, and there will never be any extra.
The old man glared and said: "How dare they? They dare not fart even if they starve to death! Without Erlang, a living Bodhisattva like you, they would have starved to death many times now. Let alone eating a meal, they would just cut their throats." They don’t dare to say no to eating meat!”
Fang Jun laughed and looked at Yu Ming: "How about we bother you a little bit?"
Of course, Yu Ming was indispensable, but he was surprised that Fang Jun was really an anomaly. As the emperor's son-in-law, a son of an aristocratic family, and a high-ranking official in the dynasty, he could talk and laugh with an old farmer, and even go to someone else. Have a lunch at home...
What an interesting guy. (End of chapter)
