Chapter 732 Golden Ge and Iron Horse, galloping like a tiger (Another ten thousand, please ask for a monthly ticket!)
His Majesty Li Er sometimes thought about it carefully. Although he didn't want to admit it, Fang Jun did have a lot of achievements.
Glass, cement, printing... any of them can make a huge fortune, which can be passed down to future generations, and generations of prosperity can even shake the world and leverage the general trend of the world. But he did not hide it, no matter what he was doing,
Regardless of whether they were forced or voluntarily, they finally took it out to contribute to the prosperity of the Tang Empire and make His Majesty Li Er's rule more stable.
Even the "Three Character Classic", which seems to only benefit individuals, will inevitably have far-reaching influence once it is circulated.
Unknowingly, this person who was timid and dull when he was a child, but became rebellious and fiery when he grew up, and who has grown up to be a rising star with a rich belly, outstanding talents, and growing wings!
Especially when this boy spoke confidently in front of me that "I will put the mountains and terrain of Goguryeo in front of His Majesty within two years", his calmness, grandeur, and confidence showed that he was already a character!
The dissatisfaction and anger at being contradicted in the court discussion gradually faded away unconsciously.
His Majesty Li Er has a somewhat split personality. Sometimes he is shameless, but other times he is so open and endearing...
************
The conversation this time had no substantive results. Regarding Fang Jun's brazen proposal of "exchanging merit for freedom", His Majesty Li Er did not comment and drove him away.
Fang Jun naturally didn't dare to ask. He wasn't so mean that he had to be kicked by others to feel comfortable...
But the next morning, Fang Jun, who was calling all the farmers in Zhuangzi together to hold a "spring plowing mobilization meeting," received an unexpected edict.
The person who came to deliver the order was not a eunuch, but a young official from the province.
"Under the sect: Fang Jun, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, who is both civil and military, loyal and brave, diligent in his duties, shows off the city, and is appointed as the Chief Supervisor of Military Weapons. He is bestowed upon by the emperor. Zhongshu ordered Yang Shidao to make the imperial edict."
Fang Jun was a little dizzy. What kind of thing was His Majesty Li Er playing?
Our Ministry of Industry has done a good job, and the Laizhou Shipyard, which has invested hundreds of thousands of dollars, is still playing a big game. Could it be that it is a wedding dress for others?
So depressed!
The official waited for Fang Jun to take over the imperial edict with both hands. At this time, he did not have the problem of "stuffing red envelopes" like in the Ming and Qing dynasties. Then he was about to leave. Fang Jun quickly pulled his hand and said politely: "It's such a long journey.
Come on, it’s not too late to have a cup of tea before leaving.”
The official declined with a smile: "Today, Your Majesty has reviewed the documents that have been sent to various places in the Hu Department in recent years. The subordinates and middle secretaries are all busy. Originally, I wanted to go to Duke Yun's Mansion to deliver a decree, but Duke Yun just left Xiangzhou.
When he returned to the court, he had not yet settled in properly, so the lower official chose to go far away. He first came to Fang Shaojian's house. He was about to go to Yun Guogong's house, and then he had to meet with his subordinates to listen to him. Therefore, Fang Shaojian was so kind, and the lower official could only feel ashamed.
Resigned."
When Fang Jun heard that it was Zhang Liang, Duke of Yun, he couldn't help but curiously asked: "Didn't Duke Yun serve as the governor of the governor's office of Xiangzhou? Does he have another appointment when he returns to the court?"
"this……"
The official pondered for a moment and then smiled and said: "According to the rules, the content of the imperial edict cannot be revealed in advance. However, after a while, a certain person went to the Duke Yun's Mansion to deliver the edict. In less than an hour and three, the imperial edict was also announced to Guanzhong.
." Even so, he still lowered his voice and said: "Your Majesty transferred Duke Yun back to serve as Minister of Industry."
After saying that, he smiled slightly and gave Fang Jun a "take care of himself" look.
The feud between Fang Jun and Duke Yun Zhang Liang is known to everyone in Guanzhong. Back then, you were so arrogant that you went to Duke Yun's house and chopped off the wrists of Zhang Liang's second son, which was equivalent to peeling off Zhang Liang's face.
of stepping on.
At that time, Zhang Liang estimated that Fang Xuanling was intimidating and held back for a while, but that didn't mean that he didn't hate Fang Jun to the bone in his heart.
Now Fang Jun has obtained the official position of Military Superintendent and Young Superintendent, but his position as Minister of Works has not been removed. In other words, Zhang Liang, Duke of Yun, will soon become Fang Jun's commander.
With Zhang Liang's vicious and vicious character, please be careful...
After seeing off the provincial official who had delivered the decree, Fang Jun was unhappy.
Others may not know what His Majesty Li Er meant by this move, but Fang Jun knew it clearly.
His Majesty Li Er is once again preparing for the eastern expedition to Goguryeo...
Although the Tang navy at this time is not considered weak, it is definitely not that great. Especially in recent years, the imperial court has invested all its power on land, and the resource tilt is quite serious. For the navy, which is relatively more expensive, it is almost equal to
Wasted relaxation.
However, Goguryeo was far away on the Korean Peninsula. Although the land route was still the main force, if the navy could take on the important task of transporting grain, grass and baggage, it would greatly reduce the pressure on the land route.
All ships in Datang are under the jurisdiction of the Water Department of the Ministry of Industry. If you want to build a fleet that can take on the task of transporting heavy equipment, you must integrate the ships that can be mobilized at present and prepare for a rainy day.
Zhang Liang was entrusted with this task by His Majesty Li Er.
Otherwise, at the beginning of the Eastern Expedition, all ships and naval forces would not have been handed over to his command, and he would have been granted the title of Commander-in-Chief of the Canghai Road March.
Fang Jun was a little frustrated. When he asked His Majesty Li Er for an official position that day, His Majesty Li Er did not explicitly refuse. He thought His Majesty Li Er had some intentions.
Now it seems that people have already planned it, just like playing chess. The role of each chess piece has been clearly thought out. How can it be changed easily?
but……
Since it is the next period, there are endless variables. Who dares to say that all the steps of the chess game have been figured out and under control before the whole game has been played?
It all depends on people!
Fang Jun cheered himself up. This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Can the Tang Dynasty be pushed onto another path completely different from history? Can it break the deep-rooted shackles of Confucianism for thousands of years? Can it win Goguryeo?
, is the top priority!
How could that vast sea be allowed to swell with waves, but the people of the Tang Dynasty could not touch it?
In the next "mobilization meeting", Fang Jun went all out, inspiring all the dealers and victims to be enthusiastic and high-spirited!
"The heavy snow collapsed your houses, froze your relatives to death, and turned you into homeless refugees and disaster victims! Those aristocratic families with hundreds of mansions and vast tracts of fertile land, the noble and wealthy, treat you with indifference.
, let you fend for yourself! The world is so big, but there is no place for you to stand up, and grains are like the vast sea, but there is no food for you to feed! You are like orphans abandoned by heaven and earth.
My dear, I am helpless!"
Fang Jun stood on a temporary high platform outside the main entrance of the farm. He glanced at the victims gathered in the front yard who were reminded of their sad past and worried about their future lives. He waved his arms vigorously and said in a sonorous tone: "
Tell me, are you willing to wander like wild dogs, with no place to stay, starving, and one day going bankrupt in a gutter or on the side of the road?"
"I don't want to! I don't want to!"
"Then, tell me, what should I do?"
The dark crowd was silent for a moment, and then someone shouted in the crowd in twos and threes: "Follow Erlang, Erlang will give us food!"
"Follow Erlang, Erlang will give us food to eat!"
If there is one, there will be two. The victims and dealers in the courtyard immediately raised their arms and shouted, and the sound was quite overwhelming.
These "shills" are doing well...
Fang Jun secretly praised and raised his arms to signal for silence.
In an instant, nearly a thousand people in the entire venue stopped talking, and there was silence and silence.
"All the people in Fangjiawan, whether they are former villagers or current victims of the disaster, will have only one name from now on, and that is the servants of the Fang family! I, Fang Jun, swear once again: I will have something to eat."
, don’t allow anyone to starve to death in Fangjiawan! If God wants you to starve to death, I will take you to kill him, for God’s sake! From now on, we will unite sincerely, overcome the difficulties together, and build Fangjiawan into our most beautiful place
Home! Now, I declare that spring plowing has officially begun!"
Before he finished speaking, a roar of cheers could be heard in the courtyard.
If I have something to eat, no one in Fangjiawan will starve to death!
This man who pulled himself and his relatives back from the gate of hell, gave them a house and food, just made such a solemn promise unequivocally!
These victims, originally relying on the government's relief, did not know when they would starve to death or where their bones would be buried.
But suddenly, they suddenly transformed into servants of the then Prime Minister Fang Xuanling. This alone was enough to make the eyes of the entire Guanzhong people red with envy!
Why?
Sowing the land does not yield food!
Now, Fang Erlang, who is equivalent to a savior to them, has made such a promise, what else is there to say?
One word, do it!
When the farmers in Fangjiawan gritted their teeth and planted the seeds one by one into the ground and built the canals one by one, their crazy energy was like no other in Lishan Mountain.
The people who had land nearby were all dumbfounded.
