Suffering a loss is not necessarily a bad thing, but it is not necessarily a good thing either...
At least that's what Ju Wendou thinks.
A few days ago, I was beaten so hard by Puchuluo that my old bones almost fell apart. I will be recuperating for a few days after returning home. Although my injuries are mostly healed, I still feel a sullen feeling in my heart.
But it made him extremely depressed.
He was so depressed that instead of being beaten up by Puchuluo, he was played like a fool by Fang Jun...
As long as he thinks about his attitude that he wanted to kill all the Pu family members, Ju Wendou regrets it so much that he wants to hit the wall...
Careless!
Why did I get into such a low-level alienation plan so dizzy?
Lying on the bed, Prime Minister Ju Wendou sighed and regretted his mistake.
The weather is still hot, but autumn is approaching, and the autumn wind carries heat waves rolling outside the window, making people feel inexplicably irritable.
The maids and servants stay far away. The master of the house has been in a bad mood recently and is always angry for no reason. Everyone is afraid of being punished in vain. Unless it is absolutely necessary, they will not come within ten feet of the main hall...
Ju Wendou sighed, looked at the white-haired old man sitting in the bedroom, and said helplessly: "It's all my fault for being careless and falling into the trap of that little thief, which caused the relationship with the Pu family to be completely broken... I
It’s your fault!”
The old man had kind eyes and stroking his snow-white beard. He raised his triangular eyes slightly and looked at Ju Wendou lying on the hospital bed. He said in a deep voice: "Pu Quluo is an idiot and cannot see through Fang Jun's plan to divorce.
But the Pu family is not just a Pu Quluo. After all, there are still smart people, and perhaps the relationship can still be repaired. After all, without the support of our Ju family, the Pu family is just a businessman, what can he do?"
Ju Wendou smiled bitterly and looked at the Ju clan leader in front of him: "How can it be so simple? Pu Quluo was a little stunned, but he was definitely not stupid. He dared to attack me in front of so many people because he wanted to express his stance to Fang Jun
, the Pu family has decided to openly break with me, the Ju family! Once Fang Jun's woolen mill is built, the Pu family will benefit the most. Tell me, how can the Pu family become our ally again and fight against the Tang Dynasty together?
Woolen cloth?"
Once Fang Jun's woolen mill is built, the price of wool will inevitably soar. The Pu family owns the largest pasture in Gaochang, and their family has cattle and sheep everywhere, so they are naturally the biggest beneficiaries. With this level of interest, how can they not
What about following Fang Jun wholeheartedly?
Hearing this, the old man sighed and said: "Even if that's the case, why do you insist on going against Fang Jun? He has the support of the Tang Dynasty behind him, and he has united several major forces in Gaochang State, and it has become a climate. You can rashly confront him.
, if you are not careful, the entire Ju family may be involved, be careful, be careful!"
"Is it possible to just watch the efforts of the ancestors of the Ju family be cut off?"
When Ju Wendou heard this, he shouted in a low voice with some excitement: "The Ju family's foundation for more than a hundred years has now been destroyed! The ancestors below have spirits, how can we, the unfilial descendants, face it? Patriarch, it was you who supported Ju in the first place.
That idiot Wentai ascended the throne, and now that Ju Wentai is dead and Gaochang has been destroyed, can't you support me once and regain the glory of the Ju family?"
The old patriarch sighed, looked at Ju Wendou with an angry expression, and sighed slightly.
Twenty years ago, when the previous King of Gaochang, Ju Boya, was seriously ill and on his deathbed, it was actually Ju Wendou who was his son who wanted to inherit the throne.
But at that time, I was afraid that there would be a dispute over the throne in the future, so I insisted on helping Ju Boya's eldest son Ju Wentai ascend the throne. Speaking of it, I was really ashamed of Ju Wendou.
The Ju family has been rooted in the Gaochang Kingdom for hundreds of years, and their roots are deep and luxuriant. The family influence has already penetrated into all aspects of the Gaochang Kingdom. The king does not represent the Ju family, the clan leader is the most powerful person in the entire Ju family!
But in the current situation, if you rashly support Ju Wendou, wouldn't it mean that the entire Ju family is tied to his chariot? If it fails, it will be a disaster that will destroy both the jade and the stone, and the annihilation of the entire race...
The old patriarch sighed softly and advised: "According to what you said, Fang Jun's various methods have already firmly grasped several forces in Gaochang Kingdom. Even if you expel the Tang Dynasty, what can you do to these people?"
What about interests? People’s hearts are selfish, and without enough interests, who will follow you to oppose Datang?”
He was originally telling the facts and persuading Ju Wendou to recognize the reality. Since the Tang Dynasty has not attacked the Ju family and is still trying to win over them, why should they take the risk of genocide and wait to seize the throne of a king?
Even if the Tang Dynasty is expelled now, hundreds of thousands of troops will march westward again in the next moment. At that time, what will be able to resist the invincible military power of the Tang Dynasty? You know, when the Tang army is pressing down on the border, it will
Didn't the Turks, who have always been unruly and rebellious, run away far away, not even daring to show their faces?
Who would have thought that his words of admonishment would make Ju Wendou even more angry!
"I have finally seen it clearly. All these guys are white-eyed wolves! In the past, when our Ju family was in power, one or two of them bowed their heads like servants and obeyed. But now that our Ju family has declined, they immediately abandoned us and joined the Tang Dynasty.
The camp is so shameless! I must make them understand that if they betray our Ju family, they will have to pay a heavy price!"
Looking at Ju Wendou's blood-red eyes, the old patriarch frowned, feeling faintly worried, and warned: "Don't do anything stupid, which will bring down the family!"
"Family, family, you only have family in your eyes!" Ju Wendou suddenly sat up from the couch and said angrily: "The country is dead, how can there be any family? Now it's just that the Tang Dynasty cannot control Gaochang State for a while, and it is temporarily wooing us.
That’s it, when all the forces in the Tang Dynasty surrender to it, the first one in the Tang Dynasty will be our Ju family! Do you think that the Tang Dynasty will let a Ju family who has occupied Gaochang Kingdom for hundreds of years and has unparalleled influence exist?
"
A bunch of old bones, but he stole the position of the clan leader, it is really short-sighted, and the corpse is a piece of cake!
If you only look at the little thing in front of you, you can't see what kind of fate awaits Ju in the long-term future?
Instead of facing a miserable ending in the future, why not take advantage of the fact that Datang's foothold is not yet stable and give it a try?
The old patriarch remained silent.
Just the hand stroking the beard is getting faster and faster...
***********
Fang Jun didn't know about the distant capital. He was tricked by Changsun Wuji and lost an opportunity to stabilize the Western Regions and establish meritorious services. Of course, he never thought about staying in the Western Regions and completing the great cause of unifying the Western Regions.
The Western Region has a harsh environment, complex terrain, and intertwined Han and Hu tribes. It is extremely difficult to truly unify the region. Even if we rely on strong methods to unify, once the situation changes, it will only fall apart overnight.
As long as his two methods continue to work and tightly control the economic lifeline of the Western Region, even if he has the Western Region in his hands, this is more practical than de facto unification.
Of course, he didn't know that Ju Wendou was still determined to restore his country and was still thinking about how to give Datang a fatal blow...
He is currently riding a horse and standing on a slope, looking at the endless wilderness in front of him, his heartbeat is pounding faster!
This field is located on the northern slope of the sand dune, with three-foot-tall plants growing chaotically. The leaves have been blown by the autumn wind and have turned yellow and curled, shrinking and dilapidated. There are only some hairy fruits in the middle, but they are like the cracked mouth of a child.
Revealing the snow-white silk wadding between them...
Pu Quluo looked at Fang Jun who was in a daze in front of him, a little puzzled, and said curiously: "Master Hou has never seen this thing before? The name of this thing is Bai Diazi, the grass is as solid as a cocoon, and the silk in the cocoon is as fine as silk.
The people of the country often use it to make cloth, and the cloth is very soft and white, and the food-eaters love it very much."
Bai Diazi?
This is cotton!
Fang Jun was so happy that he almost went crazy. Who would have thought that on a whim, he wanted to go to Pu's ranch and accidentally discover such a treasure?
The cotton fields in front of me are like white clouds falling from the sky to the world. Looking around, the cotton fields blooming with thousands of cottons are like big quilts, like layers of white waves, like groups of marshmallows. Fang Jun seems to be watching
Holding a string of copper coins, she waved gently at herself...
As an agricultural professional, how could he not know the uses of cotton?
