Chapter 2860 Confess your feelings
Conflict in the court has been the most dangerous thing since ancient times. They fight openly and secretly to the death for the interests of their respective families, let alone the interests of the world such as the reserve?
There is no greater lord in the world than Conglong.
Although the Navy cannot rush to the front line to fight for His Royal Highness in the kitchen and bathroom battles, such an invincible force to guard the sea and deter foreign countries is an extremely important improvement to the momentum of the East Palace, and it also means that Jiangnan and Shandong will not Some noble families had to stand behind the prince even for their own interests, otherwise they would suffer heavy losses if they were suppressed by the navy.
Su Dingfang understood Fang Jun's intention. As long as the navy was still firmly in his hands, even if he was alone overseas, he could still be the most steadfast and powerful aid for the prince, keeping a group of Jiangnan nobles from making trouble.
The banquet was not luxurious, just a few simple home-cooked dishes, without any delicacies, but they were prepared with great care and attention.
When several people sat down at the table, Su Dingfang repeatedly praised: "Sanlang is so polite."
Fang Yi smiled and said: "As Governor Su said, we are all one family, so the younger brother also makes things so fancy. Moreover, the second brother often teaches us brothers that it is better to have simple meals at night, otherwise it will be difficult after eating. Digestion is harmful to the body. I have always heard of the reputation of Governor Su. I am honored to be my host today. I would like to give you a toast to Governor Su.”
After saying that, he raised his glass.
Su Dingfang also raised his wine glass and said sincerely: "Your Majesty, your brother is my superior. In front of him, I am ashamed to call you Governor Su. Personally, my brother and I share the same goals and have no objection, so I entrust you to me." Damn, Saburo might as well call me brother, that would be real.”
Fang Yi was overjoyed. He glanced at Fang Jun and saw him smiling and nodding. Then he raised his glass with both hands and said respectfully: "In that case, I would rather obey my orders and give you a drink!"
He already knew that his second brother wanted him to go to Huating Town and then go to the sea to open up a new world in Japan for backup needs, so he had to deal with the relationship with the navy well. Besides, he really admired Su Dingfang, and he was convinced by calling him "brother".
The two clinked their glasses and drank in one gulp.
Fang Jun also had a drink with him and signaled Su Dingfang to eat. He took a mouthful of celery and put it into his mouth. He chewed it a few times and said directly: "This kid is running rampant in Beijing relying on his family background. In a few years, he will be an embarrassing dandy again." Therefore, after the year, a certain person wanted to let him go to Huating Town to take care of his family's property. After he got a little familiar with it, he would Go to the Japanese country, cultivate the fields in the Tonegawa Plain, and set up a dock and port at the mouth of the sea. On the one hand, it can train his mental ability, and on the other hand, it can be used as an industry for him to settle down and live. My brother must take care of him, and he must also supervise me. If you dare to act recklessly, please discipline me for me. I would be very grateful.”
Su Dingfang didn't know his deeper plan, and said in surprise: "Sanlang is newly married, so why are you thousands of miles away from home? The vicinity of the Tonegawa Plain is indeed a good place, but the general only needs to send a brigade of soldiers to occupy the place, and wait until it is over. It won’t be too late to go to Kaigen Farming and set up a port in two years.”
Fang Jun poured him wine himself, sighed and said: "If the situation in the court was stable, there would be no rush. But now the undercurrent in the court is surging, and the variables are too great. How can we not prepare a way out?"
Su Dingfang's expression suddenly changed.
Fang Jun's previous speculation had already shocked him. He didn't expect that the situation in Chang'an would still be so corrupt. Who would have expected that the current shock would be even greater? Would even a wealthy family like the Fang family have to arrange a retreat just in case?
After drinking a cup of wine, Su Dingfang's thoughts turned and he said: "My son is celebrating the festival. He is young and smart, but he is not familiar with official career. If the commander-in-chief does not dislike it, the general will also want to attach himself to Jiwei and let him accompany Sanlang to the country of Japan. , I wonder if I can take advantage of the commander-in-chief’s glory and find a place with beautiful mountains and rivers to develop industries near the Tone River?”
Fang Jun said happily: "How difficult is this? The plains near the Tone River are vast, and castles can be built for garrison. There are many ports along the coast to facilitate shipping. It only takes a few years to develop it. By then, regardless of the nearby Ezo people , Japanese people, or the common people and merchants of the Tang Dynasty will definitely flock here, and prosperity is just around the corner. . Being able to have a place to live in it can be regarded as an inheritance for the family. It just allows these children to understand the hardships of starting a family business and temper them in the storm. Even if they don't expect them to be able to shine, they can at least be able to do so. We are happy to be able to endure this family fortune.”
Fang Jun was extremely satisfied with Su Dingfang's proposal.
How is this that he wants to go to Japan to create an industry? It was clear that he was sending his son under Fang Jun's nose, using him as a hostage and swearing allegiance!
No matter how Chaoju changes in the future, my Su Dingfang family will advance and retreat together with your Fang Jun, and we will live and die together!
And Fang Jun's words also showed his attitude. As long as I, Fang Jun, have a bite to eat, I will never let your descendants of the Su family starve and freeze...
The two confessed their feelings, and naturally they became more harmonious and relaxed in their conversation. They expressed their opinions to each other on the situation in North Korea and China, and discussed how to deal with various situations. Even if someone in North Korea coveted the strength and status of the navy, they wanted to arrange it. Manpower, how to prevent it.
We didn't drink much wine, but we talked a lot. It wasn't until nearly three o'clock that the banquet was dismissed.
Fang Jun wanted to keep Su Dingfang in his house temporarily, but Su Dingfang insisted on saying goodbye because he had already gone to Li Jing's house before, and Li Jing had already told him to stay at Duke Wei's house and did not dare to break the promise.
Fang Jun naturally had no idea. It was precisely because Su Dingfang could never leave Li Jing when he was lonely, and would rather cut off his official career than change his family to seek glory, that's why he admired Su Dingfang so much. Otherwise, how could he let Li Jing win with his military talent alone? Does Fang Jun trust him completely?
After sending Su Dingfang to the gate and watching him ride away under the guard of his own soldiers, Fang Juncai and Fang Yi returned to the courtyard.
Fang Yi drank the wine and became a little excited. He danced and said: "Second brother, Brother Su came to the house today to bring New Year's gifts. You haven't seen it. There are more than ten carloads of New Year's gifts, coral, agate, emerald, gold and so on." There are so many of them in the warehouse that it makes my eyes dazzle!”
Fang Jun is not only funny.
This child had always been naughty and caused trouble everywhere. His mother Lu, who was extremely strict in educating her children, had always been very strict with him. Not only did he stipulate what occasions he was not allowed to go to and which people he was not allowed to play with, he even had to control his money business. Extremely strict, even though he is the legitimate son of the dignified Duke Liang, his expenses are not even half of those of other people of the same age.
There are mountains of gold and silver in the Fang family's warehouse. This guy can only look at them and drool, but he doesn't dare to reach out...
Now that I have a family, I can no longer take care of myself as before.
As he walked, he said: "Tomorrow, I will tell my mother, brother, to beg you for mercy. From now on, the cost will also be raised. You can't go out for a meal and have to wait for others to pay the bill, right? Our Fang family is embarrassed. I can’t afford that person.”
Fang Yi was overjoyed at first, and then smiled bitterly and said: "Second brother is not ignorant of his mother. Even if he lets go, he still has to keep an eye on her. If he goes a little too far, he will have to be taught a lesson."
He knew that the second brother wanted to support him now, and he would have to deal with some big names on the stage in the future. If he was no longer as dandy as before, the cost of the money would naturally be much higher. With his mother's strict temperament, how could he let him spend money as he pleases?
It’s not that I don’t have money in my house, but it’s all the dowry of my wife Lu. As the legitimate daughter of Fan Yang Lu, and she married into a family like Fang’s family, the dowry was naturally extremely generous, but Fang’s widow No matter how shameless you are, how can you be so shameless as to spend your wife's dowry?
If word spreads, Fang Sanlang may become a laughing stock among the entire Chang'an family...
The two of them walked to the moon gate at the entrance of the backyard. Fang Jun stopped, thought for a while and said, "Brother, I won't go to see my mother anymore. It will be unnecessary and make her unhappy. You don't have much time in Beijing." God, go to your sister-in-law's place tomorrow to get one. Some money will be used for socializing in Beijing this year. I will tell your sister-in-law when you go to Jiangnan. You can use the money on the books in Huating Town as long as you don't do anything wrong. You spend.”
The third child has also started a family, so social interactions can no longer be as casual as before. When it is time to spend money, you must not save money.
As long as you don't mess around, it doesn't matter how much you spend on those bad habits.
If a person doesn't even know how to spend money, what kind of future can he have?
Besides, the Fang family simply can’t spend all their money...
Fang Yi almost jumped for joy. (End of chapter)
