Chapter 746 Xue Rengui surrenders to the army (for the leader of the alliance)
Xue Rengui's heart skipped a beat!
Fang Jun’s navy?
When I was at home just now, I was sighing, "This is what a man should be like"!
Dang Ji said gratefully: "If that's the case, I should thank my uncle for his great kindness!" After saying that, he turned over and bowed down.
Zhang Shigui quickly stopped him, patted Xue Rengui's generous shoulders with a pair of big hands, and said happily: "The navy has not yet been established, but Fang Jun has unpredictable opportunities. Not long ago, he became famous in the battle at Niuzhuji, and he was powerful.
Shake the south of the Yangtze River! Besides, His Majesty’s Eastern Expedition is imminent, and the Navy is the top priority. This is a good opportunity.”
Xue Rengui nodded quickly and said: "This junior naturally knows that the navy can be a hot cake right now, and I don't know how many people are watching."
Zhang Shigui laughed, and then thought a little: "With such a face, I don't think Fang Jun will refuse. But this son has an arrogant temperament, so he may not be willing to look up to you. Nowadays, anyone with some connections in Chang'an Xungui wants to take him to
Fang Jun is also very worried when his own children are thrust into the navy. Your nephew is leaving, so you should calm down. Even if Fang Jun treats you as an ordinary soldier, he must calm down. There are many things involved in the restructuring of the navy.
Rapidly increasing combat power is the first priority. If you come to Fang Jun, you will definitely destroy pirates along the coast. As long as you have the ability, you will have plenty of promotion opportunities!"
To be honest, Zhang Shigui was also very frightened of Fang Jun.
Although Fang Jun will definitely give up his face to accept Xue Rengui, but that's all. That fool is very energetic, but no matter who introduced you, you will be dealt with as you should, and even those with background will be dealt with more harshly.
!
Zhang Shigui is actually very reluctant to deal with Fang Jun if it is not necessary. That boy is incompatible with the entire officialdom. Many things that others take for granted will not work with him. He is really difficult to serve...
However, he and Xue Gui were old friends, and he really liked Xue Rengui. When his old friend came to meet him, he naturally wanted to try his best to find a good future for him.
Xue Rengui is also a calm person. Hearing this, he said: "Uncle, don't worry. It's a great favor for you to worry about the younger generation. How can the younger generation embarrass my uncle? I will do my duty and bring honor to my uncle's face when I mention Xue Li in the future!"
Zhang Shigui was overjoyed.
The two of them spoke in harmony and were happy with each other, and they chatted for a long time without realizing it.
When all the Zhang family's carriages, horses and goods had been ferried across the river, and the housekeeper came to urge the departure, Xue Rengui took Zhang Shigui's letter and left.
Zhang Shigui ordered his servants to bring two gold-cake soldiers and ten copper coins, and gave them to Xue Rengui as a means of settling down his family and paying for his trip south.
Xue Rengui refused to refuse.
Having already received great favor from Zhang Shigui, how can we collect this money again?
Seeing that Xue Rengui was in a difficult situation but was not moved by the huge sum of money, Zhang Shigui increasingly felt that this son would have great potential in the future and insisted on letting Xue Rengui accept it. Xue Rengui refused several times and finally had no choice but to accept.
Seeing the Zhang family's carriage and horses leaving in the distance, Xue Rengui stopped his thoughts and returned home.
This night, there were whispers that were hard to part with, countless tender thoughts and sorrows about parting, endless tears and affection like water...
Early the next morning, Xue Rengui invited his neighbors to make a solemn entrustment, imploring everyone to take good care of Mrs. Liu. Naturally, he could not bring his family members with him when he went deep into the military camp. Xue Rengui could only leave Mrs. Liu at home, and left most of the gold cakes and copper coins given by Zhang Shigui.
, I only took a small amount of money with me on the road.
Walking to the entrance of the village, looking back, he still saw Mrs. Liu's thin figure leaning against the door frame of her house and waving her hands constantly.
go.
Mrs. Liu watched Lang Jun's tall back go further and further away, gradually disappearing at the end of the official road. Tears had already blurred her eyes, but the sound of the wind chimes from the Sheyan Pagoda in her ears was still as clear as yesterday.
Will one day, I suddenly see the willows on the street, and I regret teaching my husband to find a prince...
*****
From Niuzhuji to Huzhou, there is no need to detour through the river. There is an own waterway connected to Taihu Lake, and the distance is shortened by more than half.
Fang Jun took care of things at the Nanshan Mine, and the Zhou family in Huzhou sent people to Niuzhuji. In the battle of Niuzhuji, Fang Jun slaughtered all the dead soldiers of each family.
It has not been made public, but how can any family with some eyes and ears in Jiangnan not know about it? Coupled with his achievements in quelling the Shanyue rebellion, Fang Jun's name has already shocked Jiangnan, like thunder.
Not to mention that the Zhou family's "Hubi" is sold as far away as Guanzhong, and it relies on the Fang family's trade routes. If Fang and Jun are attracted by each other, how dare the Zhou family not come?
Not only did they come, but they also sent Zhou Wenhai, the eldest son of Zhou.
Zhou Wenhai is over 10 years old, but his face is fair and gentle, and he looks as handsome as a young man. He seems to be no older than Fang Jun...
Fang Jun is not narcissistic about his appearance, nor does he feel inferior and jealous when he sees someone who is handsomer than him. There are really too many handsome guys in the Tang Dynasty, and it would be a waste if they were all jealous...
"I have always heard of Erlang's name, and I have always been in love with him. It was only today that I met his true face. I am really lucky."
Zhou Wenhai was very polite, well-mannered and generous, and was not nervous because of Fang Jun's reputation as a "brain-sucking person." It is not unreasonable for everyone in Jiangnan's scenery to regard themselves as Han Dynasty orthodox. At least this profound literature
The background is heartbreaking, and it is very different from the crude and bold customs of the North.
Fang Jun smiled and said: "Zhou Xiong doesn't need to be so polite. What kind of good reputation can I have? It's nothing more than a murderous nature and a fondness for eating human brains. It is said that my name can stop children from crying at night. I really appreciate it.
So ashamed."
"Why do you need to belittle yourself, Lord Marquis? Rumors stop only the wise, and the pure will be pure themselves. The more capable a person is, the more he will be envied and slandered by others. If he is not jealous, he is a mediocre person, haha!"
Fang Jun sighed slightly, this pretty boy could talk, and he had a good impression.
After letting Zhou Wenhai into the barracks, Fang Jun got straight to the point: "Inviting Brother Zhou here this time, I really have a favor and I want to ask Brother Zhou for help."
Zhou Wenhai smiled and said: "No matter what the Marquis orders, as long as it is within the Zhou family's ability, I will never refuse."
The words were spoken politely, but they also left room.
We will help those who can do what we can, and you can force us if we can't do it! As for the balance between what we can do and what we can't do, isn't it decided by others?
Naturally, Fang Jun could not fail to hear such polite greetings, and he had no intention of playing tricks with the Zhou family. He said bluntly: "Things to help are trivial, but I have a business that I would like to discuss with Brother Zhou."
Fang Jun is known as the "God of Wealth" in Guanzhong. Who doesn't admire his ability to amass money? A single square built in Chang'an City can sell millions of coins, which is enough to shock the entire business world of the Tang Dynasty!
Having the opportunity to do business with such a person would make me laugh out of my dreams!
"I heard that in addition to the Hubi business, the Zhou family also has a papermaking workshop?"
"Master Hou Mingjian, it is indeed true."
"I have a secret recipe for papermaking in my hands. The paper produced is as white as snow, smooth and tough, and is more than ten times better than the current bamboo paper. If I want to use this secret recipe to invest in the Zhou family's papermaking workshop
, I wonder if it’s feasible?”
Zhou Wenhai's breathing suddenly became heavy and his heart was beating wildly.
If others had said this, Zhou Wenhai might have thought it was just nonsense, but when Fang Jun said it, Zhou Wenhai believed it! Fang Jun said it was ten times better than the current bamboo paper, so it was ten times better.
!
It should be noted that what businessmen value most about Fang Jun is not his literary talent or his high status, but his ability to turn stone into gold!
Not to mention other things, how much profit can glass alone bring to Fang Jun and the royal family? Just thinking about it makes people jealous!
But then, Zhou Wenhai calmed down. He didn't know the saying "There is no free lunch in the world", but he knew that pie would never fall in the sky. The better Fang Jun's secret recipe, the better the quality of the paper he produced, which brought about
The greater the profit, the more the Zhou family will have to pay now...
I'm not afraid of giving. Fang Jun has a good reputation in business. The most important thing is whether I can get more from Fang Jun.
What an opportunity...
Taking a deep breath, Zhou Wenhai said frankly: "Master Hou may not know the situation of my family. The Zhou family started with Hubi and has always been in the Hubi business. It was not until recent years that they got involved in the papermaking business. This is thanks to Cao Min's uncle's family.
The Zhou family's paper-making equipment was a gift from my uncle's family, and the Zhou family's papermaking workshop also has members from my uncle's family, so I apologize for not being able to specialize in it."
Fang Jun asked curiously: "I wonder who your uncle is?"
