Feng Zhi wears long sleeves and is good at dancing, and treats people and things like a spring breeze.
When he entered the capital, he was not only the hostage of the Feng family in the hands of the emperor, but also the liaison between the Feng family and the Guanzhong clan. He single-handedly shouldered the qualifications and status of the Lingnan Feng family in front of the Guanzhong gentry. He was good at using money to win over people's hearts, but he
It's not just about using money, you also have your own unique way of treating people.
He did not dare to provoke Fang Jun, so he came to apologize in person in a humble manner. However, he unexpectedly entered the top dandy circle of the Tang Dynasty and seized this opportunity very well.
In the Tang Dynasty, there was a kind of dandy called "consort".
Xiao Yu's eldest son Xiao Rui, Wang Gui's youngest son Wang Jingzhi, Dou Jing's son Dou Kui, Chai Shao's son Chai Lingwu, Gao Shilian's son Gao Xuxiong, Cheng Yaojin's son Cheng Chuliang, Du Ruhui's son Du He, Fang Xuanling's son Fang Jun...
These people themselves were from high-ranking families, and they became princesses. They became the best among the young talents of the dynasty, and were regarded as the mainstay of the Tang Dynasty in the future.
Among them, there is no doubt that Fang Jun is the most shining one...
It can even be said that Fang Jun has come from behind, far surpassing the princes-in-law of the same class as him, and becoming a force that cannot be ignored in the court. And Fang Jun's political philosophy of expanding the ocean and forging ahead is in line with Feng's
The interests coincide with each other.
How could Feng Zhidai not seize the opportunity to hug this thick leg tightly?
After returning home, he ordered his servants to rummage through the warehouse and deliver many rare things to Fang's house one by one as a greeting gift. He knew that Fang Jun was not short of money, so he took money seriously.
Even the Feng family from Lingnan might be slightly inferior to him, but what he gave was not money, but respect and attitude!
Look, all the aristocratic families in the world are resisting Fang Jun's plan to rebuild the east and west cities, but this man is still determined to go his own way. Who can really stop him in the slightest?
How could Feng Zhidai not be allowed to make friends with such a rising star in officialdom with the utmost sincerity?
At the same time, Feng Zhidai carefully revised a letter and sent someone south overnight to send it back to his father in Lingnan to ask whether he would respond to Fang Junzhi's invitation to join the "Eastern Datang Company".
This matter is really important...
It is no exaggeration to say that no matter what Feng's choice is, it will directly determine Feng's status, weight, and future treatment in the Tang Dynasty!
Is it to segregate the country into a king, support its own troops, and use the unique geographical environment of Lingnan to achieve the goal of continuing to dominate the south of the world, and the descendants of the Feng family to dominate for generations?
Or are you willing to be an obedient citizen, present all the secrets of Lingnan to the court, and then become attached to the Tang Dynasty and become an obedient citizen in the prosperous times?
Feng Zhidai didn't know how to choose or which one was the right one. His experience and status were not enough to make a decision on this matter.
Fortunately, he had a father who had experienced three dynasties, had tens of thousands of troops, and divided one side. After experiencing the Zen throne in the Northern Zhou Dynasty and the chaos in the late Sui Dynasty, Feng An had unparalleled wisdom in his life, which was enough to make the most correct decision.
*****
Spring rain is as precious as oil.
A light rain fell all night, and it didn't stop until dawn.
Fang Jun opened the window, and a blast of cool air accompanied by moist vapor hit his face, which was refreshing.
The mountains in the distance were washed as green as black by the rain, and the pavilions and flowers in the courtyard were also lush and green. There was no sunshine, and the sky was still shrouded in gray clouds, but it did not make people feel depressed at all. Instead, there was a feeling.
A feeling of vitality all over the body.
Spring plowing is around the corner, and a well-timed spring rain is simply a gift from God...
Fang Jun looked back at Wu Shunniang, who was sleeping on the bed in Shanghai Tangchun, smiled slightly, and allowed Xiuyu Xiuyan to cleanse her face, wash her hands, change her clothes, and then walked to the front hall alone under the resentful eyes of the two women, and hurriedly enjoyed the meal.
Had a light breakfast of porridge and side dishes.
After the meal, they put on their raincoats, hats, and straw sandals, and led their generals, roaring on horseback, out of the gate of Defu and the city gate, whipping their horses and riding straight towards Lishan Farm.
When pedestrians in twos and threes on the streets outside the city saw this group of knights galloping, they knew it must be a dandy young master or a arrogant slave of which family. They were afraid to avoid it and gave way to the roadside one after another, even if the horses' hooves trampled on the road.
The puddles are filled with water splashing everywhere, but I don't dare to say anything disrespectful or dissatisfied at all.
In the Tang Dynasty, class was a natural chasm, and the nobles almost had the power of life and death over the common people...
An old woman was wearing a tattered raincoat, carrying a food box with paint peeling off in her hand, and was being helped by a child who looked like a grandson and hiding on the roadside. However, the hem of her clothes was still wet from the muddy water splashed by the horse's hooves. The child was very aggrieved.
Called: "Mommy, are you okay? Do you want to go home and change into a set of clean clothes? It would be terrible if you catch a cold! Whose knight is this? He is so overbearing. Could it be that your family drove this road?"
"
The old woman was startled, and quickly stretched out her withered and thin palms, covering her little grandson's mouth tightly, and said with a panicked expression: "Don't dare to talk nonsense... Don't dare to talk nonsense... Those are all noble people, if you hear them
, the whip will kill anyone without even paying for their lives..."
The little grandson opened his round eyes and nodded in understanding.
The old woman breathed a sigh of relief.
The most despicable ant people don't even have the right to complain...
With a cry, a strong horse came back and came straight to the old woman.
The old woman's complexion changed drastically, and she knelt down in the muddy water on the roadside with a "pop" sound. Her whole body was like sifting chaff. She tightly protected her little grandson behind her and begged: "My dear, spare my life, my dear, please spare your life... You are a naughty boy who talks nonsense."
The adults do not remember the faults of the villain..."
"Click"
With a soft sound, a bunch of copper coins were thrown from the hands of the knight on horseback and dropped on the old woman. The old woman subconsciously caught it.
"The person who just passed by was Erlang of the Fang family. He accidentally splashed muddy water and wet your clothes. Erlang was afraid that you were old and frail and would catch the cold, so he rewarded you with half the money to go back and make a good set of clothes. But you
What is the old woman mumbling about? Naughty boy? Hahaha, do you think that our Erlang will be as ignorant as a child with a yellow mouth?"
The knight laughed.
The old woman was holding the copper coins. When she heard that it was Fang Jun who had just passed by, she immediately held up the copper coins in her hand as if she were holding live coals. She piled up the coins and said, "It's actually Fang Erlang? Oops, the old woman's eyesight is dim. I didn't see it just now."
Look clearly, if I had known it was Fang Erlang, I would definitely kowtow... I don’t dare to ask for Fang Erlang’s money, he is the blue sky of our Jingzhao Mansion!”
Looking at the Tang Dynasty, among the noble people who could make money after riding a horse and wet the old woman's clothes, who else could be out of Fang Erlang?
In the eyes of the people in Guanzhong, Fang Erlang is the blue sky, the Buddha of thousands of families, and the backbone of all common people!
How dare you ask for Fang Erlang's money?
Afraid of being poked in the spine by neighbors...
Even the child puffed up his chest and said plausibly like a young adult: "We don't want Fang Erlang's money! I also want to study, and when I grow up, I want to be a good official who loves and cares for the people just like Fang Erlang!"
The old woman turned around and caressed the horns on her grandson's head, her face full of kindness and her eyes pleased.
Immediately, the knight was stunned, then laughed, nodded and said: "Then the money will not buy clothes for the old woman, but will give this young man one of the four treasures of the study. I wish you a gold medal in the future! Oh, by the way, not yet
May I ask who's Xiaolang's last name? If he were in high school in the future, maybe someone would be able to come to your door to ask for a glass of water and wine based on today's friendship!"
The child then puffed up his chest and said loudly: "This person is from Guanzhong, and his name is Song Shoujie!"
"Okay, okay!" The knight laughed loudly, sitting upright on his horse and clasping his fists in the distance: "I'll see you later."
After saying this, he turned his horse's head and chased the large army.
"Alas..." The old woman was so anxious that she shouted with half a stack of money in her hand, but with a cry, the knight gradually disappeared at the end of the official road, where could he stop even half a step?
A passerby next to him laughed and said: "You old woman, you are so ignorant! Who is Fang Erlang? He is the one who doesn't take advantage of the common people at all. He splashed your clothes with his horse and wanted to pay you. You should pay for it."
Just accept it. You are also lucky, tsk tsk, this is half a pound of money..."
The tone was very envious.
The old woman was at a loss, so she had to quietly collect the money, and then made up her mind to buy her grandson a set of Four Treasures of the Study, so as to urge him to study...
Fang Jun didn't know what was happening behind him. He rode all the way to the mountainside of Lishan Mountain and saw countless farmers busy in the fields. This spring rain came just in time, and the spring plowing in Guanzhong was just beginning.
The drizzle is misting, the green mountains are green, the streams are gurgling, the swallows are flying low in the sky, the streets are crisscrossed, and the chickens and dogs are hearing each other. It is a scene of a prosperous age and the splendor of the Tang Dynasty!
