Conflict in the court has been the most dangerous thing since ancient times. Fighting openly and secretly to the death for the interests of each family, not to mention the interests of the world such as the reserve?
There is no greater lord in the world than Conglong.
Although the navy cannot rush to the front line to fight for His Royal Highness in the battle between the kitchen and the bathroom, such an invincible force to guard the sea and deter foreign countries is an extremely important improvement to the momentum of the East Palace. It also means that Jiangnan and Shandong are not
Some noble families had to stand behind the prince even for their own benefit, otherwise they would suffer heavy losses if they were suppressed by the navy.
Su Dingfang understood Fang Jun's intention. As long as the navy was still firmly in his hands, even if he was alone overseas, he could still be the most steadfast and powerful aid for the prince, keeping a group of Jiangnan nobles from making trouble.
The banquet was not luxurious, just a few simple home-cooked dishes, without any delicacies, but they were prepared with great care and attention.
Several people sat down at the table, and Su Dingfang repeatedly praised: "Sanlang is so polite."
Fang Yi smiled and said: "As Governor Su said, we are all one family, so the younger brother also makes things so fancy. Moreover, the second brother often teaches us brothers that it is better to have simple meals at night, otherwise it will be difficult after eating.
It is harmful to digestion, but it is harmful to the body. I have always heard of the reputation of Governor Su, and I am honored to be my host today. I would like to offer a toast to Governor Su."
After saying that, he raised his glass.
Su Dingfang also raised his wine glass and said sincerely: "Your Majesty, your brother is my superior. In front of him, I am ashamed to call you Governor Su. Personally, my brother and I share the same goals and have no objection, so I entrust you to me."
Damn, Saburo, you might as well call me brother, that would be real."
Fang Yi was overjoyed. He glanced at Fang Jun and saw him smiling and nodding. Then he raised his glass with both hands and said respectfully: "In this case, I would rather obey my order and give you a drink!"
He already knew that his second brother wanted him to go to Huating Town, and then go to the sea to open up a new world in Japan for backup needs, so he had to deal with the relationship with the navy. Moreover, he really respected Su Dingfang, and this "brother"
The cry was heart-warming.
The two clinked their glasses and drank in one gulp.
Fang Jun also had a drink with him and signaled Su Dingfang to eat. He took a mouthful of celery and put it into his mouth. He chewed it a few times and said directly: "This kid is running rampant in Beijing relying on his family background. In a few years, he will be an embarrassing dandy again."
Son. So after a year, a certain person wanted to let him go to Huating Town to take care of his family's property. After he got a little familiar with it, he went to the Japanese country, cultivated fields in the Tonegawa Plain, and set up a dock and port at the mouth of the sea. On the one hand, he could train his mental ability, and then
Then it can be used as an inheritance for him to settle down and live his life. My brother needs to take more care of me and supervise me. If you dare to act recklessly, please discipline me for me. I will be grateful."
Su Dingfang didn't know his deeper plan and said in surprise: "Sanlang is newly married, so why would he be thousands of miles away from home? The vicinity of the Tonegawa Plain is indeed a good place, but the general only needs to send a brigade of soldiers to occupy the place and wait until
It won’t be too late to go to Kaigen Farming and set up a port in two years.”
Fang Jun personally poured him wine and sighed: "If the situation in the court is stable, there will be no rush. But now there is an undercurrent in the court, and the variables are too great. How can we not prepare a way out?"
Su Dingfang's expression suddenly changed.
Fang Jun's previous speculation had already shocked him. He didn't expect that the situation in Chang'an would still be so corrupt. But what's more, he was shocked even more now. Would even a wealthy family like the Fang family have to arrange a retreat just in case?
After drinking a cup of wine, Su Dingfang's thoughts turned and he said: "My son is celebrating the festival. He is young and smart, but he is not familiar with official career. If the commander-in-chief does not dislike it, the general will also want to attach himself to Jiwei and let him accompany Sanlang to the Japanese country.
, I wonder if it’s okay to take advantage of the commander-in-chief’s honor and find a place with beautiful mountains and rivers to develop industry near the Tone River?”
Fang Jun happily said: "How difficult is this? The plains near the Tone River are vast, and castles can be built for garrison. There are many ports along the coast to facilitate shipping. It only takes a few years to develop it. By then, regardless of the nearby Ezo people
, the Japanese, or the common people and merchants of the Tang Dynasty will definitely flock here, and prosperity is just around the corner. Being able to have a place to set up a place here can be regarded as an inheritance for the family. It just allows these children to understand the hardships of starting a family business, and can also build a family business in it.
They have been tempered in the wind and waves, and even though we don’t expect them to be able to shine, we can still endure this family fortune, and we are happy.”
Fang Jun was extremely satisfied with Su Dingfang's proposal.
Does this mean that he wants to go to the Japanese country to create an industry? It is clearly that he will send his son under Fang Jun's nose, use him as a hostage, and swear allegiance!
No matter how Chaoju changes in the future, my Su Dingfang family will advance and retreat together with your Fang Jun, and we will live and die together!
And Fang Jun's words also showed his attitude. As long as I, Fang Jun, have a bite to eat, I will never let your descendants of the Su family starve or freeze...
The two confessed their feelings, and naturally they became more harmonious, and their conversation became slightly more relaxed. They expressed their opinions to each other on the situation in North Korea and China, and also discussed how to deal with various situations. Even if someone in North Korea coveted the strength and status of the Navy, they wanted to arrange it.
How should manpower be protected?
We didn't drink much wine, but we talked a lot. It wasn't until nearly three o'clock that the banquet was dismissed.
Fang Jun wanted to keep Su Dingfang in his house temporarily, but Su Dingfang insisted on saying goodbye because he had already gone to Li Jing's house before, and Li Jing had already told him to stay at Duke Wei's house, and he did not dare to break the promise.
Fang Jun naturally had no idea. It was precisely because Su Dingfang was able to stick with Li Jing when he was lonely, and would rather cut off his official career than change his family to seek glory, that's why he admired Su Dingfang so much. Otherwise, how could he let Li Jing win with his military talent alone?
Does Fang Jun trust him completely?
After sending Su Dingfang to the gate and watching him ride away under the guard of his own soldiers, Fang Juncai and Fang Yi returned to the courtyard.
Fang Yi drank the wine and became a little excited. He danced and said: "Second brother, Brother Su came to the house today to bring New Year's gifts. You haven't seen it. There are more than ten carloads of New Year's gifts, coral, agate, emerald, gold, etc."
There are so many of them that they are piled up in the warehouse, which makes my eyes dazzle!"
Fang Jun is not only funny.
This child had always been naughty and made trouble everywhere. His mother, Lu, who was very strict in educating her children, had always been very strict with him. Not only did he stipulate what occasions he was not allowed to go to and who he was not allowed to play with, he even had to control his money business.
Extremely strict, even though he is the legitimate son of the dignified Duke Liang, his expenses are not even half of those of other people of the same age.
There are mountains of gold and silver in the Fang family's warehouse. This guy can only drool as he looks at them, but he doesn't dare to reach out...
Now that I have a family, I can no longer take care of myself as before.
As he walked, he said: "Tomorrow, I will tell my mother, brother, to beg you for mercy. From now on, the expenses will also be raised. You can't go out for a meal and wait for others to pay the bill, right? Our Fang family can't afford it.
I can’t afford that person.”
Fang Yi was overjoyed at first, then smiled bitterly and said: "Second brother is not ignorant of his mother. Even if he lets go, he still has to keep an eye on her. If he goes a little too far, he will have to teach her a lesson."
He knew that the second brother wanted to support him now, and he would have to deal with some big shots on the stage in the future. If he was no longer as playful as before, the cost of the money would naturally be much higher. According to his mother's strict temperament,
Where would he be allowed to spend his money?
It’s not that I don’t have money in my house, but it’s all the dowry of my wife Lu. As the direct daughter of Fan Yang Lu, and she married into a family like Fang’s family, the dowry is naturally extremely generous, but Fang’s widow
No matter how shameless you are, how can you be so shameless as to spend your wife's dowry?
If word spreads, Fang Sanlang may become a laughing stock among the entire Chang'an family...
The two of them walked to the moon gate at the entrance of the backyard. Fang Jun stopped, thought for a while and said, "Brother, I won't go to see my mother anymore. It will be unnecessary and make her unhappy. You don't have much time in Beijing."
God, I will go to your sister-in-law tomorrow to withdraw some money to use for socializing in Beijing this year and after this year. As a brother, I will tell your sister-in-law later. When you go to Jiangnan, the money and silk on the books of Huating Town can be used by you.
That is, as long as you don’t mess around, you can spend whatever you want.”
The third child has also started a family, so social interactions can no longer be as casual as before, and when it is time to spend money, you must not save money.
As long as you don't mess around, it doesn't matter how much money you spend on those bad habits.
If a person doesn't even know how to spend money, what can he accomplish?
Besides, the Fang family simply can’t spend all their money...
