After fighting all night, Wu Meiniang lay slumped on the kang to catch up on her sleep, but Fang Jun was in high spirits, which made his vanity unprecedentedly satisfied, and he walked with vigor...
I simply freshened up, changed into a set of sapphire blue brocade robes, and went to the front hall to meet the guests.
As soon as he entered the front hall, Fang Jun glanced at the guests sitting on the chairs, and said lukewarmly: "Your Majesty's visit really makes the humble house shine, and the common people have not come far to welcome it. It is a capital crime! It's just this
Early in the morning, the prince was not at home with his beautiful concubine in his arms, and went to Wushan to play music and music, and came to disturb people's dreams. I don't know why? "
After saying that, he sat down on his own, picked up the tea cup on the table and took a sip, squinting at the thousand-year-old King of Han in front of him.
King of Korea Li Yuanjia looked embarrassed...
Listen, is this what the brother-in-law said to his brother-in-law?
In the entire Tang Dynasty, how could a brother-in-law talk to his brother-in-law like this, not to mention that this brother-in-law was a prince and a member of the royal family?
But, Li Yuanjia was helpless...
Regarding this brother-in-law, Li Yuanjia had a severe headache and couldn't beat him again and again, and he couldn't scold him again and again. As a last resort, he had no choice but to lower his voice and try his best to win over him...
"My king is here, so I naturally have the advantage to take care of you." Li Yuanjia said with a smile. He didn't feel at all that his smile looked a little cowardly and insulted the majesty of the royal family...
Fang Jun rolled his eyes and was noncommittal.
In fact, Fang Jun didn't particularly dislike this brother-in-law, but he just felt that this guy was a bit soft, whether in court or at home.
Originally, Fang Jun did not object to Li Yuanjia taking a concubine. Now in the Tang Dynasty, three wives and four concubines were the trend, and even the head wife herself did not think there was anything wrong with it. Of course, the old lady in Fang Jun's family was the only exception...
…
But you took a concubine and forgot about the main wife. You allowed the concubine to ride on the head of the main wife and dominate her. This is too much!
That's why Fang Jun, after learning that his eldest sister had been offended in Prince Han's Mansion, got angry and rode on Prince Han's Mansion, smashed Li Yuanjia's concubine Cao's boudoir to pieces, and humiliated Cao's two brothers and whipped them.
A whip.
He was warning Li Yuanjia, it's okay if you like young and beautiful girls, but if you dare to make my sister suffer, it's definitely not okay!
In fact, after Fang Jun went crazy that time, Li Yuanjia probably realized his mistake. Although he never divorced Mr. Cao, he was extremely considerate and respectful to his wife, Mr. Fang.
It was Li Yuanjia's behavior that gave Fang Jun the feeling that "this guy is a donkey, and he will go backwards if he is not led away." He had to maintain pressure on him at all times. This pretty boy shouldn't be doing whatever he wants.
Wronged!
Therefore, today, when Li Yuanjia came to visit in person, Fang Jun not only showed no courtesy or respect at all, but instead made sarcastic remarks and looked like he didn't want to see him.
Hearing that Li Yuanjia was sending favors, Fang Jun didn't seem to care. He yawned and said casually: "Did it come? If it did, then please come back and I won't leave any food. If not,
There is no need to send it, we don’t care about it..."
When Li Yuanjia heard this, he seemed to be struck by lightning and froze there.
The anger in my heart is overwhelming!
Mother!
Let’s not talk about brother-in-law and brother-in-law. We are still a prince after all. We eagerly come to your door with benefits. Is this your attitude?
This is simply unreasonable!
But he was so angry that he really didn't dare to fight back.
Why?
This guy is a stick! Li Yuanjia can’t guarantee that if he offends this guy, he will give him a good beating and then throw him into the street...
I'm a bitch myself, my brain got caught in the door or something, why do I have to chase after him and send him to the door?
But think about the emperor's hint, and then think about his wife's instructions...
Li Yuanjia had no choice but to touch his nose, automatically filtering out the kid's bastard words, and said in a sullen voice: "Li Yuanchang was executed for his rebellion. All the adult men in the mansion were sent to Lingnan, the female family members were transferred to the Jiaofang Division, and all the property was confiscated. I cleaned up yesterday.
The land account books of the Han Palace will be sold to the public after the new year. I didn't see a piece of land right next to you, Yiai, Zhuangzi, so I wanted to keep the wealth from flowing to other people's fields, so I came to ask if you are interested in buying it."
Fang Junqi asked: "Is there such a good thing?"
King Li Yuanchang of Han Dynasty was the biological son of the great ancestor Li Yuan, and he was an upright nobleman of the royal family. Regardless of whether Li Er wanted to see him, the fiefdom under his name must be excellent and high-grade farmland. If Li Yuanchang rebelled and was executed, this family property would definitely be
To confiscate it, the emperor must either reward it to meritorious ministers, or sell it publicly to add to the national treasury. No matter which path is taken, it is certain that people will flock to it.
Li Yuanjia was hurt by Fang Jun's suspicious eyes, and said helplessly: "Is this true? You are also close relatives after all, and it is within my authority to act as the Prime Minister of Zongzheng Temple. With such a good thing, how can I not think about Erlang?
?Although there is a lot of land in your village, most of it is dry farmland in the mountains. The output is not high. It is really difficult for you to feed so many victims. Li Yuanchang, these fields are all high-quality paddy fields, and they can be productive as soon as they are taken over.
worth."
He said this, but he was thinking in his heart that the emperor didn't know what he was up to. Since he wanted to compensate Erlang for being dismissed from office and reduced his rank, he could just give Erlang these fields. Why should he have to sell himself a favor?
, unnecessary?
When Fang Jun heard this, he thought this was a good thing!
There are more and more people under his control, but the original fields are not enough. Although the land bought from Xinfeng County is cheap, it is mostly on mountainous slopes and the land is barren, and only fruit trees can be planted.
Fruit trees are different from large fields. They are very convenient to cultivate and require very few manpower. This results in a waste of manpower. If there is more land, the advantages of manpower can naturally be fully utilized.
Then he said: "Okay, to give you face, let's go and see the land right now?"
Li Yuanjia almost twisted his nose with anger!
I brought it to you with all the benefits that I coveted, but you still reluctantly gave me face?
What's even more outrageous is that we are the prince and your brother-in-law, and we came to your house and why don't we have a nice cup of tea and a meal?
This stick is out of control...
Li Yuanjia stood up with a dark face and flicked his sleeves: "Then let's go!"
Fang Jun squinted his eyes, looking at Li Yuanjia's angry look, he couldn't help but feel suspicious.
The so-called showing courtesy for nothing is either cheating or stealing!
As the Prime Minister of Zongzheng Temple, Li Yuanjia was in charge of royal affairs. Li Yuanchang conspired to confiscate the family property and now sell it to the public. Li Yuanjia thought of giving some benefits to his brother-in-law. This is reasonable and understandable.
But Li Yuanjia didn't take it seriously when he was stimulated by his cold words and still enthusiastically wanted to help Fang Jun buy a good piece of land. If there was no hidden secret in this, even Fang Jun wouldn't believe it to his death!
But if you think about it carefully, although Li Yuanjia has a softer temper, he has always been decent and honest, and he would not dig a trap for himself. So what is the hidden secret in this?
Fang Jun thought for a while and couldn't figure it out, so he simply didn't think about it.
It's not his style to refuse to eat the meat that's put in his mouth...
The two came out of the front hall. Fang Jun told Xi Jun to buy a horse, and Lu Cheng came over from a distance.
Seeing Li Yuanjia, Lu Cheng was stunned for a moment. Obviously he didn't know when the eldest uncle of the Fang family came to Zhuangzi. He quickly saluted and said hello: "I have seen the prince!"
Li Yuanjia said: "Old housekeeper, you don't have to be polite, you are getting more and more handsome!"
They were all old men from the house, so Li Yuanjia naturally recognized them and exchanged pleasantries with them. It was obvious that Li Yuanjia was always very approachable and was not aloof and untouchable.
Lu Cheng said with a smile: "Oh, Your Majesty, you have done a good job for this old slave. Speaking of it, it is also comfortable to follow Erlang. There are not so many miscellaneous things, and he eats more and sleeps well. This can be regarded as what the old slave has cultivated in his previous life.
Blessing."
Fang Jun was a little flattered by this little flattery, and couldn't help but look at Lu Cheng with admiration. Lu Cheng's face looked like it had been burned with an iron, and he could barely write "I have a good master" on his face.
Such a big character, it makes Fang Jun look good!
After exchanging a few words, Lu Cheng did not ask Li Yuanjia what important matter he came to. That was the head of the family's business. He would tell him what he should know, and he could not ask about what he should not know. How could Lu Cheng follow this rule?
I don't know.
He asked Fang Jun for instructions: "Zhuangzi has made preparations. There are thirty fat pigs in total, which will be slaughtered later. I wonder if Erlang has any other orders?"
A few days ago, Fang Jun decided to kill the New Year pig today.
If you don't kill pigs during the Chinese New Year, the flavor of that year will be a little worse. Now that you don't need money, you will naturally make it lively.
"I have nothing to say. You can tell me that the rebellion a few days ago caused heavy casualties in Zhuangzi. We are all thinking about it! During the Chinese New Year this year, each household will have five kilograms of pork, a lot of money, and a lot of money at home.
The number of people who died in this conspiracy will be doubled if one person dies! The rest will be slaughtered for pigs and vegetables, so that the vegetables will be enough and the wine will be enough, so that everyone in the village will be happy!"
Lu Cheng smiled brightly and nodded: "Okay! Looking at the world, there are not many masters who are as generous as Erlang, and they treat the servants in the village first-class! A house that accumulates good deeds must have Yu Qing, let's
The Fang family is like this in the whole Guanzhong!" Old Lu Cheng raised his thumb high!
For this Erlang, there is only one word: surrender!
Don't look at this man who can do a lot of things, and when he spends money, it is like running water, but in the same way, this man can also make money, and when he makes money, it is even more humming! The most important thing is that this man is willing to
Spend money on the banker tenants!
Those villagers and tenants are not the servants of the Fang family. If they are in your house this year, they may pack up and go to another house next year! Even so, Erlang has never been stingy with money and food, and he has given no benefits at all.
not bad!
Nowadays in Zhuangzi, everyone almost only knows Fang Erlang but not Fang Xuanling...
Li Yuanjia glanced at Fang Jun, and the anger in his heart inexplicably dissipated a little, and then said: "Hurry up, go see the land as soon as possible, and make a decision as soon as possible, lest someone with sharp eyes and quick hands intervenes and causes trouble!"
Fang Jun looked sideways at Li Yuanjia and snorted: "Why, your majestic prince is in charge of Zongzheng Temple, and you have to be careful not to be robbed by others even if you give your brother-in-law any benefits? Look at how promising you are!"
Li Yuanjia almost fell down in anger!
Staring at Fang Jun angrily, he thought to himself that this little bastard is my brother-in-law? He is really unlucky for eight lifetimes!
The good feeling that had just arisen suddenly disappeared!
