Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 685 News from the South

The news that the house in Quchifang was sold at a sky-high price of 160 million yuan was like a sudden hurricane sweeping through the entire city of Chang'an!

Every thousand coins is consistent, if all of them are copper coins, how much space will it occupy if nearly [-] million pieces are placed in one place, how high will it be piled up, and what kind of majestic and shocking scene will it be?
This number shocked the city of Chang'an into silence, even the well-informed aristocratic families were all stunned.

Immediately uproar!

The public opinion was like a pot of boiling water boiling, surging and surging, directly pushing Fang Jun to the top!
Some people praised that Fang Erlang was worthy of the name of "God of Wealth", and that he could charge a breathtaking sky-high price by messing with a piece of wasteland casually; Some people are going crazy with envy, how can they make so much money with this stick; some people are gnashing their teeth in hatred, no wonder this bastard would rather beat up his grandson Chong, not hesitate to offend his family and even be punished by the emperor, and die Hold this piece of land in the palm of your hand; of course, some people are so excited that their blood boils!

Damn!What else can you say about accumulating money so arrogantly?

That night, when the news spread in the city of Chang'an at the speed of a gale, many people had mysteriously linked up and cooperated, sent each other's servants to exchange information, and even went out to exchange ideas in person...

This night, Chang'an was almost sleepless!

To be honest, although Fang Jun thought that Quchifang would sell for a lot of money, the super outrageous figure of 160 million Guan still made him unpredictable.If he hadn't listened to Wu Meiniang's suggestion to dedicate all the money to His Majesty Li Er, Fang Jun could almost imagine what a fierce storm he would face next.

This number is terrifying!

It is foreseeable that what will follow will inevitably be those imperial officials who were deflated by him last time and ministers from the Jiangnan gentry who are deeply resistant to him to attack him.

The practice of "directly attacking privacy" that is almost like a rogue like last time can never be repeated.After using it once, everyone was frightened and angry, but they could still maintain restraint.If it goes on and on, it will inevitably lead to the resentment of irrelevant ministers, and thus join the ranks of opponents.

They are all officials, who is easier than the other?Who hasn't crossed the line a little bit?

If this method of seizing the other party's privacy and attacking them becomes popular, it will be a disaster for the officialdom of the Tang Dynasty!Throughout the ages, there are only a few saints, who can have no clue?You attack indiscriminately, can others still get along?

When you become a public enemy and are contradicted by the entire class, there is no so-called justice or even national law.If His Majesty Li Er doesn't want the official system of the entire empire to collapse, dealing with Fang Jun is the only way.

Fortunately, I was not greedy and donated the money.

Now it is His Majesty Li Er who bears the pressure. As long as His Majesty Li Er takes the money, Fang Jun can hide behind the emperor and sit back and relax, laughing at the wind and clouds...

*****
Returning home from the palace, Fang Jun happily thought of praising Wu Meiniang after returning home. Although this girl is far away from the palace, a dark and dirty place where one's will is tempered, her political talent is not bad at all.

A simple trick to divert the water to the east, not only extracting himself out of it, but also receiving compliments from the emperor and the people, the loss is only money...

Does Fang Jun care about the money?
The answer is - yes!

After all, this is 160 million guan!If this money is in hand, the framework of the entire navy is basically completed. If it is greedy to put it into the warehouse, the Fang family will not be able to spend it all in a few lifetimes...

Fang Jun likes money, but he will never be kidnapped by money.

First of all, if there is no means of "using power for personal gain" such as exchanging houses for naval positions, it is absolutely impossible to collect so much money.Secondly... what is the use of him asking for so much money?He has long since run out of money to spend, and just one Fangjiawan Wharf can guarantee that the descendants of the Fang family will live a life of dude for several lifetimes, so why should he be greedy?

Deng Tong of the Western Han Dynasty, Shi Chong of the Western Jin Dynasty, Shen Wansan of the Ming Dynasty, He Shen of the Qing Dynasty...these are all rich and powerful existences, and none of them are worse than the time traveler Fang Jun, but look at their final fate, Which one can get a good death?

Every husband is not guilty, and he is guilty of his crime.

With so many lessons learned from the past, Fang Jun clearly knows what position he should put himself in and what kind of path he should take.

Money is important, but it is more important to live longer and more comfortably...

Fang Jun returned to Fangfu in a happy mood, and before he had time to go to the backyard, he was called by Fang Xuanling.

It is natural to first understand the situation, then criticize the education, and finally let it go...

Fang Xuanling found that his son was really capable of tossing around. Although Fang Jun often acted flattered as if he didn't have much ambition, he often made big things happen inadvertently...

Fang Xuanling didn't know whether it was talent or fate.

Hearing that Fang Jun had dedicated the money to His Majesty, Fang Xuanling heaved a long sigh, and was extremely pleased with his son's political sensitivity.Throughout the ages, talented and capable people are as numerous as the sands of the Ganges River, but those who have achieved great success in the end are all people who are determined and know how to choose.

Giving up and gaining seem to be diametrically opposite, but many times they are two in one.

If you can measure the relationship between the two, you will not suffer a big loss at the worst...

Fang Xuanling praised a few words, then took out another letter and handed it to Fang Jun.

"Just now the King of Hejian County sent someone to look for you. Seeing that you hadn't returned, he put down this letter and said that it was written by the king himself. He asked you to read it as soon as possible when you come back."

Fang Jun took the letter and saw his father's tired face, knowing that because of the big scene he created today, his father must be worried and anxious.It's just that time is not forgiving, the original "Fang Mou Duan" has died and the other is old, and an era will come to an end...

He bowed back and told his father to take good care of his body before returning to the back house.

Sit in the study and unfold the letter.

This is Li Xiaogong's letter informing him of the situation in Jiangnan.

Fang Jun read it quickly, his black face became more and more gloomy...

Li Xiaogong's former subordinate Wang Wendu was in charge of the giant logs harvested from central Shu and Kuizhou to build ships. After the logs were felled, they were tied into rafts and flowed downstream along the spring's soaring river to Suzhou.

Yet these timbers are coveted.

The letter stated that after arriving in Jiangnan, the timber was hoarded at the mouth of the Liujia River west of Suzhou, in order to wait for Fang Jun to build a shipyard and start shipbuilding after Fang Jun arrived in Jiangnan.According to Fang Jun and Li Xiaogong's discussion, the new shipyard was located in the west of Suzhou, the Liujiagang Wharf of later generations-at that time, he didn't know that Huating Town was not far away.

But after these timbers arrived in Suzhou smoothly, they began to be lost in large numbers.Especially in the waters near Haiyu Town, many soldiers of the local Zhechong Mansion even openly robbed them under the command of the officers, and those stored in Fushan Port and the mouth of the Liujia River were continuously stolen and suffered heavy losses.

The local government did nothing in the face of theft and snatching, and it seems that they were also involved...

At the end of the letter, Li Xiaogong suggested that Fang Jun should leave for the south as soon as possible. If the bandits in the south of the Yangtze River are allowed to run rampant like this, it will greatly affect the construction of the shipyard and the speed of the formation of the navy.

After reading the letter, Fang Jun squeezed out a sinister smile from the corner of his lips.

Bandits?

I'm afraid it's a family of officials and bandits!

The Jiangnan gentry couldn't stop him from going south, so he used this dirty method to draw his salary from the bottom of the pot, interfering with and hindering his plan.Even if the imperial court cannot be forced to give up the purpose of marching to the south of the Yangtze River, it will be delayed indefinitely, making it difficult for him to move forward.

Make a good deal!
Is it true that your house second master is made of wood and clay?

After a moment of contemplation, unfold the rice paper.

Fang Jun's vision for the shipyard and navy is too vast to be accomplished in one step, and he can only do it step by step.List the projects to be prepared in the near future one by one, sorting out the priority.

The Jiangnan shipyard carries Fang Jun's ambitious ambitions, how can he allow a bunch of jumping clowns to disrupt his plans?He had to figure out countermeasures before he arrived in Jiangnan. Once he arrived in Jiangnan, he immediately took control of the situation with a thunderous force, shocking Xiao Xiao!

If I don't show you how powerful it is, you don't know how many eyes Prince Ma has!
　Brothers are too awesome, little brother has nothing to say!The request for tickets is still the same, the request for subscription is still the same, and the [-]D update is still the same!

Fang Er is about to go to the south of the Yangtze River, opening a new chapter, traveling across the world, sweeping up the crowd, so stay tuned!
