Chapter 249 Confusion (Part 2)

If Fang Xin had done anything in the past thirteen years, it might not have been possible

No talented soldiers and political backbone

If you say nothing is done, it may not be

Reading, writing, and training are all indispensable, and it has been famous one after another

There are hundreds of people in the mansion, and several of them are considered confidants. They also opened a small business, using the hat of the prince and their professional talents to go out to make money.

But that's all.

After a few days, my uncle Xie Yunchuan came here

If it is noble, Xie Yunchuan was just his father gave birth to two prefectures, so he naturally could not compare with the prince's family. However, if it is rich, the Xie family has 200 hectares (20,000 mu) and six business companies. The family's wealth is estimated to be around 3 million silver dollars.

My father built this palace and was given by the court. My father was the emperor's own son. The emperor rewarded 200,000 silver dollars at one time, but it was built after his uncle's family invested 100,000 silver dollars.

My uncle Xie Yunchuan was about 35 years old. When he met, he bowed a little, and Fang Xin took a walk with him.

The corridor is made of wooden walls and is separated by a low wall to make it clear. Now the plum blossoms are blooming, and it is the season for peach blossoms to bloom again.

The fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold, which brings about the vitality of winter and spring.

But the peach blossoms are sucking the spring that is full of slowness, and they will compete for spring and beauty. From a distance, they look like a fiery morning glow.

Fang Xin first chatted with his uncle and nodded with a smile. Xie Yunchuan said with a smile: "I have been to many places. Over the years, I have seen countless gardens, but your home is still unique..."

"Just just learn from home. By the way, Taizu was also obsessed with gardening art back then, and my father was also very addicted to this..." Fang Xin said, without wearing a royal robe, he wore a green robe, a light yellow belt around his waist, and his face was like a moist jade and eyes like a faint star. He was only fourteen years old, which made people unforgettable at first sight.

Looking at Xie Yunchuan admired in his heart, he was the descendant of Taizu and the prince of the court. His kind and gentle temperament were not necessarily obtained by ordinary people who spent their whole life qi cultivation.

Today, the weather was clear and there was no cloud. The sun was shining, but it didn't feel hot. It was just that the trees, grass, and vines all spit out green at the sun. A trace of the cold fragrance of flowers came, cleaning the turbid air, and the feeling was relaxed and happy. Both of them enjoyed it.

"I heard that the business you are running now is okay?" Xie Yunchuan finally said this.

"Well, this is OK. Zhao Xueruo is still a talent." Fang Xin responded and said.

"Since you are going to run a business, why not say hello to your uncle and invite outsiders?" Xie Yunchuan said with some complaint.

Fang Xin pursed his lips and said, "I am the prince's family. I always have to establish a foundation for myself. It is not a long-term solution to rely on my uncle. However, if I do something appropriately, it is also worth it. I will never look for others."

These two paragraphs are unconcealed, and they are shocked.

The meaning of the first paragraph is very clear. It is impossible for our prince family to establish a career. If you are the closest relatives, you must establish your own foothold and last longer.

The meaning of the second paragraph is even more clear. I know that my uncle wants to lend some rights granted by the imperial court of my county prince family. I will definitely cooperate with my uncle's family and will not be sent to outsiders.

The second paragraph is plain, but the tone is really impressive.

Xie Yunchuan stared at his nephew, not knowing how he felt, but this also achieved the purpose of coming this time, and said, "It's so great... Alas, it would be great if my Yishu could have half of you."

In the past ten years, Fang Xin has taken advantage of the time to write and write. The articles that are anti-simple and true, and the articles that are revealed are simple and not brilliant. When carefully read, they become more and more interesting - not astonishing, not silly, not gorgeous.

The prince does not need to and cannot be admitted to the imperial examination, but the officials and scholars of the county governments around him commented: "This prince is calm and composed, and has a strong mind and strong mind, and is more than enough to take the imperial examination!"

This is of course the effect Fang Xin wants to obtain

You should know that this comment "calm and leisurely spirit, deep and strong thinking" is a rare saying. It is not rare for outsiders to think it is not rare, but those who have been studying for a long time know that only by understanding the subtle and righteousness of sages, being at peace in their hearts, not being slandered or floating, can they get the qi of this article be achieved by understanding the subtle and unreliable meaning of sages, not being rude or floating.

Fang Xin just smiled and said, "My cousin Yishu is already a scholar, so it's okay to go further. It's just that reading is a matter of detail. You should focus on your heart from preventing the problem and be sincere and sincere. You can do it in a few years."

After saying that, Xie Yunchuan nodded with a hint of melancholy in his eyes and said, "That's true. If you are not a prince, you cannot escape this Jinshi-but now the world is changing. Even if you pass the imperial examination, you don't know what your future will be!"

The imperial examination, with the sages as the outline and the six books as the purpose, has been taking the exam for 200 years, but with the invention of the steam engine, industry and commerce have developed, the aristocratic power has expanded more and more, and the entire society has surpassed the scope of the agricultural society, so countless new situations have emerged.

The world of the court is changing with each passing day. People with insight have long realized that even if the original academic emphasis is emphasized in the world's laws - the great power of those who are benevolent, it is difficult to catch up with complex situations.

This imperial examination seems to be declining more and more. It is not a problem of the court, but academia cannot keep up with the times, so a deep breath naturally appears.

For example, a hundred years ago, Fang Xin became the prince, and his uncle had to kowtow when he saw him, and he had to report back. That would have been such an atmosphere of losing his ranks and inferiority, but now, this has become a kind of normal state.

There are always knowledgeable people in the world, and Xie Yunchuan is also one. Fang Xin could only laugh at his concerns and said, "Uncle, you are too worried. The Xie family has tens of millions of fertile land and has opened six business companies. Yishu's cousin is already a scholar. It is okay to go further. Even if he does not pass the imperial examination or becomes an official, it is good to be a Taiping scholar. Could it be that he can't support him?"

"Haha, that's right. Yishu is my son. I can understand that even if he can't develop, he can still maintain the family business. Since he can maintain it, my Xie family will not eat all the food for five lifetimes... Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. Unfortunately, you are the right one. Hey, a prince, with an annual salary of only 30,000 silver dollars, and you have to get a discount." Xie Yunchuan said regretfully.

As a prince, he could barely allow the mansion to open a business, imperial examination, official, or general. In Xie Yunchuan's opinion, this smart nephew wasted like this. It was a pity - it would be great if he was my son, he thought so.

Fang Xin smiled indifferently: "The world has enjoyed the country for 260 years. The descendants of Taizu passed down by this ancestor are as many as three million. The greed of a gentleman has been killed for five generations. Although there is a system of only one generation of iron-hat kings, and a system of inherited titles with one level and other second-class inherited titles, the court also has a heavy burden. It is good to have these 30,000 silver dollars to get. In the future, we must always be independent. With the hat and power of the hereditary prince, it is hard to say that it is rich, but it still meets the needs of the mansion."

"That's right!" Xie Yunchuan said with emotion. He looked at the sky and found that it was almost ten o'clock in the morning. He couldn't help but laugh and said, "It's been an hour in the blink of an eye, so I'll go back first!"

"Then I'll take you to the second gate." Fang Xin said

Xie Yunchuan didn't refuse, this county prince's mansion is now like this

I was walking leisurely, and a small lake was blooming in the garden. The willow trees were hanging like rain, and the green was fresh and tender.

But after only a few steps, there was a sudden noise outside. Fang Xin frowned and suddenly saw someone rushing in and said, "Prince, Prince, an angel is here!"

Fang Xin was shocked and happy, and a bitter and sweet taste appeared in his heart.

Xie Yunchuan changed color, but the angel came and should have notified him early, and he did not know what he meant to do so.

Fang Xin ordered: "Please wait at the second gate, wait until the orphan changed his clothes and put on an incense table before coming out to receive the order!"

As he said that, he turned around and naturally someone was waiting for him.

Fang Xin hurriedly changed into the dragon robe and put on the prince's three east beads. When he arrived at the second gate, he saw a group of armored soldiers outside, and he also held muskets. It must be the newly replaced musket soldiers of the court.

There was already a table of incense at the middle gate, and everyone in the mansion was kneeling. There were normal decrees and previews. According to the convention, this kind of sudden decree was either a great disaster or a great fortune. However, the prince of his family was already a prince, so what else could he give him favor?

And a large number of emperor guards came, could it be that they were scouting their house? Just thinking about this, the people who were kneeling all over the ground all changed their faces, sweating profusely, and their whole bodies trembled.

After a moment, the two doors opened wide. Fang Xin was wearing a royal robe and knelt down in front of the incense table. The eunuch stood in the middle and said, "Due to the imperial edict, the prince of Changtu will receive the order!"

Everyone hurriedly shouted long live the mountain. After three shouts, they closed their breath and listened to the eunuch reading: "The emperor's edict of the Emperor Chengyun in Heaven, Li Weiyuan, the prince of Changtu, is cautious in law and virtue, and has a noble character. He is deeply impressed by me. He is appointed as the crown prince of the country on the day of his decree. He is appointed as the crown prince of the country and the crown prince of the capital on the day of his decree. - This is the imperial edict!"

As soon as this will was released, everyone was stunned, all of them were as stupid as a wooden chicken

But the father-in-law ignored it and put down his will of representing the emperor. He hurried forward and smiled at Fang Xin: "Triumang, please get up, oh, the eighth-rank Feng Feng, the minister, pays homage to the grandson."

As he said that, with a wave of his hand, a pair of guards behind him, the maid stepped forward

While playing the music, he came over with a purple furnace and burned the imperial incense, wearing a golden imperial umbrella, and then carrying the grandson's imperial crown and jade robe. The eunuchs at the back also held various ceremonial guards, and teams came over to pay their respects. At the end, eight eunuchs carried a golden imperial chariot, which was the prince's chariot.

Fang Xin glanced at Xie Yunchuan. No matter how clever and calm he was, he was also kneeling there in a daze, as if in a dream. Fang Xin ignored him and went back to help his mother up.

As soon as he helped him up, his mother grabbed his hand tightly and said, "I'm not just dreaming!"

"My mother, this is a fact, but you'd better go back and take a rest first." Fang Xin was lucky that his mother was young and strong, and she was only thirty now, otherwise something might happen if she was excited for a moment.

Fang Xin calmly returned and said, "The imperial edict said that he would set off and return to Beijing immediately. I wonder if he could allow me some time?"

"Triumang, the imperial edict is about to set off on the same day. I am ready. As long as the grandson sets off before sunset, even if he gets on the boat, I will be the Marquis Gong." Feng Feng replied respectfully.

Fang Xin nodded and followed him back. When he got inside, he ordered someone to serve tea first, and he didn't say anything.

After drinking tea, the concubine gradually calmed down. She looked at her son from time to time, as if she was confirming whether it was the truth. After waiting for a while, she sighed and said, "When I gave birth to you, I felt that the sun and the moon were in my arms, and the golden dragon was in my body. Your father told me not to say much, and it would be unexpected that I would respond today."

Fang Xin comforted the novel for half of the time, and after his mother calmed down, he also said something, and then said: "Mother, there is not much time, let the child arrange the mansion first."

"It's this, it's this." The concubine finally calmed down.

Fang Xin arranged one by one. After the arrangement was made, a voice came from outside: "Taisun, it's getting late."

Fang Xin knelt down and kowtowed three times: "Mother, the child is gone."

The concubine suddenly burst into tears and said, "Go!"
