Fang Jun somewhat hated the fact that iron cannot become steel: "You shake your head."
Liu Shi was confused, but he shook his head anyway and asked in confusion: "Why do you let the official shake his head?"
Fang Jun asked: "Did you hear the sound of water?"
Liu Shi thought for a while, shook his head again, and said uncertainly: "It seems... not?"
Fang Jun said: "That's right. Normal people will hear the sound of brain sloshing when they shake their heads. If you don't, it means your brain is full of shit. You have a low IQ and don't know how to adapt. There is no cure.
save."
"Can normal people hear the sound of brain rattling?"
Liu Shi looked confused, strangely not wondering whether his mind was full of shit...
Fang Jun said: "Let me think it over carefully first. After discussing the business of bamboo paper and books with Guanzhong merchants in the afternoon, we will then consider how to make money by using our stations all over the world."
There are thousands of water and land stations all over the world. What a huge wealth is this?
Any idea you come up with will make you a lot of money. Unfortunately, the big bosses in the Ministry of War were so poor before. They really were sitting on a treasure trove without realizing it. They deserved to be hungry and poor...
"Just listen quietly to the Chamberlain's instructions."
Liu Shi responded, and when he saw Fang Jun starting to think about things, he quietly left.
As soon as he walked out of the staff room, he saw Cui Dunli walking towards him. He hurriedly stepped forward and stopped him, saying: "I urge you, doctor, to keep your head away."
Cui Dunli looked confused, and subconsciously turned his head away, wondering: "Why?"
Liu Shi asked: "Have you heard the sound of your brain sloshing around?"
Cui Dunli said: "Are you kidding? You can hear his brain shaking, can that person still live?"
Liu Shi asked back: "If you can't hear it yourself, do you mean that others can't hear it either?"
Cui Dunli thought about it and it seemed to make sense.
Of course Liu Shi knew that Fang Jun was scolding him for being stupid when he said his mind was full of shit, but were others really different from him and could hear the sound of his brain wandering?
He has never studied statistics, but he also knows that one or two can be isolated cases and not representative.
Ever since, this guy would make people shake their heads when he saw someone, making everyone in the Ministry of War yamen dizzy...
*****
Chengnan Pier.
Fang Jun sat in the empty office lobby and kept sneering.
Wu Meiniang, who was sitting upright next to her, also had a small face covered with frost, and her bright eyes were filled with murderous intent!
The booksellers from all over Guanzhong who originally made an appointment to discuss joining the "Datang Culture Promotion Association" actually didn't come...
There is no such thing as collective dove releasing, but it is surprising that it happened to Fang Jun.
Fangjiawan Wharf has now become a distribution center for Guanzhong commodities. The gathering of bulk commodities can save Guanzhong merchants at least 20% of costs, and the price of local Guanzhong commodities shipped out of Guanzhong can also be greatly increased.
Offending Fang Jun means that these benefits may not be available...
Wei Ying strode in, bowed and saluted, and then said: "Those booksellers have been warned by the aristocratic families behind them and are strictly prohibited from joining our 'Revitalization Association'."
Fang Jun sneered: "As expected!"
The most basic duty of the "Datang Culture Promotion Association" is to support poor students and allow more poor students to read. This is completely contrary to the purpose of monopolizing political resources through "monopoly education" by aristocratic families.
Today, the status of merchants is low, and the vast majority of merchants have the support of aristocratic families. Merchants who have nothing to do with aristocratic families cannot be said to have no connection, but they will definitely not be able to become big.
It is somewhat unexpected that the family members resisted Fang Jun through their control over merchants. After all, Fangjiawan Wharf occupies a pivotal position in Guanzhong's commerce, and the consequences of offending Fang Jun are somewhat serious. However, considering that the family members often have no choice but to protect their own privileges,
It’s not done to the extreme, but it’s reasonable…
Wu Meiniang's tone was cold and she said in a clear voice: "Since these booksellers are going against Lang Jun, then naturally we at the dock don't have to give them face anymore... Wei Ying, immediately took people to the warehouses rented by all the booksellers on the dock, and put all the booksellers in the warehouses
Throw everything into the river, not even a scrap of paper left!"
Wei Ying was startled and said hurriedly: "Well...if those booksellers make a fuss and report it to the government, they will still have to pay compensation."
“Can’t my family afford the compensation?”
Wu Meiniang's eyes were filled with evil, and she slapped the table hard with her delicate white hands. She gritted her silver teeth and said, "If they are capable, they can just report it to the official. How much compensation should be paid? Our Fang family will give them a copper penny."
But when they can get the compensation money depends on their ability!"
No matter how much the loss is, the Fang family will make up for it and not lose a penny.
But since it is a lawsuit, the necessary procedures must be gone through. The first step is to check the amount and estimate the compensation. Once paper, books and other things are soaked in the river water, it is almost impossible to count the amount. You can't just say how much it is.
How much?
Counting numbers is a troublesome thing.
In addition, the Jingzhao Mansion will inevitably launch an investigation and evidence collection. After all this trouble, it will be impossible to close the case within a year and a half...
In Wu Meiniang's view, this is not a matter of how much money, but about the husband's trust. Controlling the dock is equivalent to indirectly dealing with the merchants in Guanzhong. As a result, these booksellers actually embarrassed their husband and did not show off.
If she is tough for a moment, if her husband mistakenly thinks that she is incompetent and her status in his mind drops, that will be a big deal...
Wei Ying understood and praised in his heart that Mrs. Wu will indeed retaliate. She glanced at Fang Jun and saw that he was distracted. He did not say anything to stop him, so he responded, walked out, summoned a group of generals, and shouted.
Drink and go straight to the warehouse area on the dock.
Wu Meiniang stood up and sat next to Fang Jun, stretched out her slender hand to gently hold one of Fang Jun's palms, and said softly: "Mr. Lang is angry?"
Fang Jun came back to his senses, covered Wu Meiniang's tenderness with his backhand, and said with a smile: "Why is it so easy to get angry? Besides, even if you are really angry, aren't you taking it out for me? I really hope that those guys
The bookseller looked miserable when he saw the paper books being thrown into the river, haha..."
Seeing that Fang Jun was not angry, Wu Meiniang breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Mr. Lang is really broad-minded, not an ordinary man can compare... But you were lost in thought just now, what were you thinking about?"
Fang Jun said: "I was a bit fanciful before, thinking that by conceding some profits, these booksellers could willingly join the 'Revitalization Association', but I ignored the sensitivity of the aristocratic families towards poor students, or the natural
The sensitivity to political monopoly is their foundation and must not be touched."
Wu Meiniang was a little suspicious: "Isn't it more than that?"
The so-called husband and wife are of the same mind. It is natural that Wu Meiniang, who is ice-snowy and smart, cannot understand Fang Jun's style of conduct and temperament. If it was just because of the boycott of booksellers, how could she appear solemn?
Fang Jun laughed dumbly, tightened his hands, felt the soft and smooth softness in his hands, and said: "My parents are the ones who gave birth to me, and my beautiful mother knows me!"
Even though she is as strong-willed as Wu Meiniang, she is still shy in front of such love words, and her heart is filled with joy. She purses her lips and smiles, glances at her charmingly, and says coquettishly: "Mr. Lang thought that Meiniang is one of those people who has never seen her before."
A little girl in the world can be so confused by just two kind words? Tell me, what were you worried about just now?"
In her heart, Fang Jun is that man who is as strong and solid as a mountain. Even when faced with huge difficulties, he can face them calmly and resolve them while talking and laughing.
Things that can make Fang Jun feel solemn and worried are definitely not trivial...
Fang Jun said helplessly: "It is virtue for a woman to have no talent, so what can she do if she is smart?"
Wu Meiniang's nose wrinkled slightly, she glared at Fang Jun angrily, and said, "Is your husband scolding me for being immoral?"
It is virtuous for a woman to have no talent, but if she is talented, it is naturally virtuous...
As a couple, Wu Meiniang naturally understands Fang Jun's alternative style that pops up from time to time. He often scolds people with this sentence, but most people don't know it after being scolded.
Fang Jun smiled and said, "How dare you, Mr. Lang?"
Wu Meiniang pinched Fang Jun's palm with her backhand, bit her lip and said, "Don't change the subject, tell me what are you worried about?"
Fang Jun sighed.
A man must take on the responsibilities of a man, and the male should lead the outside and the female should lead the household. This has been a custom in Chinese culture since ancient times, and Fang Jun is not exempt from this custom. However, Wu Meiniang is not an ordinary woman who is content in her own home. She has a womanly spirit in her heart.
She has great pride and responsibility, and never thinks that she is inferior to men. She can do everything that men can do.
Since it was difficult to hide it, Fang Jun had no choice but to express his worries.
"There is an unusual atmosphere in Chang'an City recently. The things that are happening are really weird. Everything seems to be logical, but when put together, it makes people feel uneasy.
I always feel like something big is going to happen, or someone is doing something under my nose, but they are completely hiding it from me..."
