The sun peeked out between the mountains in the east, its red rays illuminated the rivers and mountains, and golden lights fell on the river. The breeze stirred the water, like thousands of golden snakes twisting and dancing wildly.
The Chengnan Pier was bustling with people.
As the private wharf closest to Chang'an City, Fangjiawan Wharf is larger than several official wharves on the Wei River, and its facilities are more complete. Huge financial resources have been invested in the construction of infrastructure, and in return
Merchants gather here and there are mountains of goods.
The opening of the Grand Canal allowed waterways to connect the north and south, and the various state capitals and cities in the Yangtze and Yellow River basins were connected in series to exchange supplies and trade with each other. Goods from the north to the south could flow freely through the waterways, making cargo value logistics more developed than ever before, and together with this, the huge
The wealth is gathering toward Guanzhong, the center of the world.
Here, you can find everything from wild ginseng and fur from Liaodong, to silk and paper from the south of the Yangtze River, and even rare treasures from Japan and South Asia.
The world's goods are gathered here, and then transported to various places in Guanzhong through different routes by water and land, even directly to Yumen, and exported to the Western Regions.
…
A luxurious motorcade, surrounded by guards in helmets and armors, meandered from the direction of Chang'an and arrived near the dock. Three riders were walking side by side. The guards on horseback were strong and powerful, wearing horizontal swords on their waists, which looked majestic.
He was so murderous that all the merchants and porters on the left and right hurriedly avoided it.
Even a fool can see that this is a trip for a noble person. Thinking about the few naval warships parked in the river, he is afraid that if he is too slow to evade and blocks the road, he will have to walk around without food...
The busy crowd gave way, and the convoy went straight to the pier. Under the stone revetment were several navy warships moored here.
The convoy stopped, and Du He looked around on horseback. All he could see were merchants and porters sweating profusely loading and unloading goods. The tall booms on the shore were going up and down, loading or loading mountains of goods onto ships.
Or unload it on the shore and be in full swing.
This shocked him.
In the past few years, Fangjiawan Pier has become a legend passed down by people in Guanzhong, and it has been regarded as a benchmark for family building and real estate by aristocratic families. Countless noble princes have made complaints about Fangjiawan Pier from time to time, teaching their sons to be modest.
Imitate how.
It’s no wonder that everyone is short-sighted. In fact, the prosperity of Fangjiawan Pier in Chengdu far exceeds everyone’s imagination. Although it is not known how much revenue it can bring to the Fangjia, we only need to see how this radiates to the entire Guanzhong and even Guanzhong.
The cargo cultivation in the Western Regions can also be glimpsed.
No one can have trouble with money. The "Brother Kong Fang" who was slandered and disdained by the great scholars is the necessary foundation for the prosperity of the family. Just as Fang Jun once said in the past, which is regarded as a guideline by countless people, "Money is not everything, but no money is everything."
Money is absolutely impossible"...
The prosperity of Fangjiawan Pier can keep the Fang family in the top wealthy class for at least thirty years.
This was still the case when the Fang family had no outstanding children and had to remain hesitant and stay away from the center. Now Fang Jun is rising to the top, with flowers blooming in the sky, with Fang Xuanling's shadow in front, and the abundant financial resources of Fangjiawan Pier behind him.
, who can guarantee that the Fang family will not be able to lay a solid foundation from now on and become an existence on par with the Five Surnames and Seven Sects?
Although the news about Fangjiawan Pier has never stopped in his ears, Du He has a lazy temperament and is usually impatient with such business affairs. He even refuses to set foot in the east and west cities, so he has never come to visit this pier.
Pass.
Now that he can see all this prosperity, no matter how proud he is, he has to admit that Fang Jun, who has single-handedly created such a huge wealth, is indeed not something he can compare to.
But people in the world are always narrow-minded. When they see others being nice, they don’t immediately want to learn from their successful experiences and see if they can learn something from them and apply them to their own use. Instead, they inevitably develop feelings of envy, jealousy, and hatred, thinking that if
I may do it better than you. Your glory days will not be long, and then you will find out 10,000 reasons why you should fail through self-hypnosis...
The servant and maid behind him opened the door and helped Princess Chengyang out of the carriage. Du He then put away his jealousy, got off his horse, walked to Princess Chengyang with a smile, and said: "It seems that we are a little early, others
They haven’t arrived yet.”
Princess Chengyang did not wear palace clothes today. She wore a snow-white arrow sleeves with red edges, tightly wrapped around her petite and exquisite body. She was no longer cold and aloof in the past, but she was more heroic. But facing Du He, she was
As indifferent as ever, with no emotion or anger on her beautiful face, she just walked a few steps forward, looked at the busy crowds up and down the river, and said calmly: "This time it was just us who were abrupt, so naturally we should have arrived earlier. If we had asked them to wait for us
That would be rude."
Du He looked embarrassed, closed his mouth, and stopped asking for trouble.
I married a princess and came back. I didn't feel the glory and respect at all, but I fully realized what it meant to be in the same bed with a different dream.
The dignity of a man was completely crushed in front of Princess Chengyang's unpretentious words...
There was a commotion in the distance. Du He looked up and saw that it was Fang Jun riding over on horseback, followed by a long convoy of vehicles.
The soldiers surrounded Fang Jun in the middle. When they arrived at Princess Chengyang's carriage, they did not dismount. Instead, they sat on the horse and nervously patrolled the surrounding crowd. Their eyes searched for the slightest abnormality in the crowd, never giving it a chance.
The assassin who appears has little chance.
Fang Jun felt relaxed, jumped off his horse, walked towards Princess Chengyang and his wife with a smile, clasped his fists from a distance and said with a smile: "It is a sin to let His Highness and Prince Consort Du wait for me."
Although the Guanlong nobles may take this opportunity to attack him, he does not think that the other party dares to risk the world's disapproval in Chang'an. It is more likely to wait for the opportunity after arriving in Jiangnan. After all, Jiangnan belongs to Fang Jun.
No matter how hard we try to defend our territory, we are unable to do so. There are so many opportunities to expose our flaws.
Du He adjusted his facial muscles, squeezed out a smile, took two steps forward, and said politely: "My Highness has been a lot of trouble during this trip. I hope Erlang will take care of you along the way. What's a sin or not? In the end, it's still
We should cause trouble."
Fang Jun was slightly surprised. When did this kid become so sensible?
Looking at Princess Chengyang standing beside her, she suddenly felt her eyes light up, and she once again criticized His Majesty Li Er's excellent genes...
"Have you prepared all your personal belongings? If there are any deficiencies, please speak up and I will definitely prepare them for you."
This trip to the south lasts for anywhere from two months to three months, and we will not be able to return to Chang'an until the end of the year at the earliest. This is not an easy time for the pampered princesses. They are used to being pampered and pampered, so it is inevitable that they will spend a lot of time away from home.
There is inconvenience.
If you are pretentious, it is not impossible that you will not be able to sleep well after changing the pillow...
Princess Chengyang showed a rare smile, her beautiful jade face was like ice and snow melting, spring flowers are blooming, and she said softly: "The Duke of Yue is interested, but my husband has been working all night, and all the utensils that need to be prepared have been prepared, so there is no need to worry.
The Duke of Yue is worried."
Du He was suddenly pleasantly surprised. Princess Chengyang had rarely expressed such an intimate tone in front of outsiders since she got married. He was even a little flattered.
Princess Gaoyang came forward surrounded by maids. When she saw Princess Chengyang's dress, she was pleasantly surprised and said: "This outfit is really beautiful!"
He stepped forward and took Princess Chengyang's hand, whispering something in a low voice.
In the distance, a larger convoy slowly approached. Hundreds of horses arrived at the pier, causing the entire pier to be briefly jammed. Many carriages were transporting goods, and the porters had to stop what they were doing and dodge.
I stopped to watch and marveled.
Everyone knew that several princesses were going south today, but they had never thought that the ceremony for royal princesses to travel would be of such scale.
When the motorcade came to a stop, King Li Tai of Wei, Princess Changle, and Princess Jinyang got out of their cars respectively, and the crowd around them became even more commotion.
Not to mention anything else, just saying that these princesses are so beautiful that they are as beautiful as gods, it is enough to make everyone talk for several months. I am afraid that today's scene will never be forgotten in their lifetime...
Everyone met at the pier. Fang Jun looked at the continuous cars and said speechlessly: "It's just a trip to Jiangnan. Are you planning to move?"
Princess Jinyang stepped forward with a smile and said crisply: "My father is not worried about this or that. He didn't sleep well last night. He ordered the servants to keep adding things. Not only did they prepare everything for Sister Changle and me,
I also prepared a lot of things for Sister Gao Yang and Sister Chengyang."
