If anyone else dared to be so rude to their coach, these desperado-like soldiers would surely swarm him and cut him into pieces to defend the majesty of the coach! But this little girl is so cute, so cute, and a very nervous soldier.
People actually thought that this scene was quite harmonious. This girl should be so unconventional and such an otherworldly person...
Fang Junyan said insincerely: "It's not bad, I'm a little weak."
"Humph! What do you understand when you are so boastful? I can beat you to the ground even if you have no strength!" Yu Mingxue was very unhappy and said angrily.
The lines on Fang Jun's forehead turned black and he glared at Yu Mingxue angrily. How could you belittle me like this in front of my soldiers? Don't you know how to save some face for men? Although the fact is indeed what you said.
…
The soldiers on the side were watching with great interest just now. When they heard Yu Mingxue's words, they all froze for a moment, then dispersed and ran away. In the blink of an eye, not even a single person was seen...
Fang Jun was furious. Could it be that all these bastards were bribed by this little witch?
Your general manager is being ridiculed and despised by others, shouldn't you stand up and defend the reputation of the coach to the death?
Damn, they are all a bunch of white-eyed wolves!
Fang Jun turned around and left with a dark face.
The girls are rude and not cute at all...
But Yu Mingxue jumped up to catch up, reached out and grabbed Fang Jun's arm, blinked her big eyes and gave him a sweet smile: "I heard from my uncle that you are good at composing poems and lyrics. Why don't you compose one and listen to it?
?”
Fang Jun flatly refused, saying that it was too bitter to be an artistic young woman.
Yu Mingxue pouted and held Fang Jun's arm without letting go, with a sad look on her face: "My uncle also said that you are a broad-minded, kind-hearted and virtuous man, and that you will be a big brother who is very good at taking care of others. That's all nonsense.
Not even allowed to write a poem..."
Fang Jun was so entangled by her that he could neither scold nor beat her, nor could she offend Yu Ming so much that it would affect Yu Ming's impression of him, so he could only say perfunctorily: "Let's talk about it later when we have time. If you think of it as poetry and lyrics, it's just picking up the lyrics."
Wocai? By the way, the sword dance you just performed was quite good. If you have time, show it to me again, and maybe I will be inspired."
"You idiot, you have no idea! That's not a sword dance, it's a very good swordsmanship!"
"Okay, okay, I am a country bumpkin, so young lady, can you please stay away from me?"
"Humph, boring black boy, it's not fun at all!" Yu Mingxue rolled her eyes, gave Fang Jun a hygiene ball, turned around and skipped away.
Fang Jun almost died of anger. How dare you call me a black boy?
However, he really had nothing to do with this girl, so he could only mutter a few words angrily, get off the boat and go to Xiao's residence.
*****
The Xiao family's house is located in the center of Haiyu City, not far from the county government office. It occupies more than ten acres of land for a small amount of money. It is truly extremely luxurious.
This house looks very ordinary. There is a stone archway on the street in front of the door. There are only two middle pillars, Wuming Tower. The shape is very simple, and there are no exquisite and complicated patterns. On it is engraved "Jifeng Biyu"
The four words should be praising the incorruptibility of officials.
The gatehouse is not big, and has a somewhat primitive and simple feel.
But when Xiao Ban, who was guarding the door, personally greeted Fang Jun and invited him into the house, it was a different world. The continuous houses were slightly exposed between the gaps of the camphor trees that blocked the sky and the sun. They were far-reaching and vast, and the courtyard was deep.
Walking in the courtyard, the tall camphor branches cover the sky and cast a shade.
Xiao Yu was already waiting in the main hall.
Xiao Ban let Fang Jun into the house, then gently closed the door, waved away the maids and servants, and stood by the door himself to prevent others from approaching.
There are windows on both sides of the main hall, and tall camphor trees block the sun and bring in bursts of breeze, keeping the humidity and stuffiness at bay.
Fang Jun saluted first, and Xiao Yu then smiled kindly and said, "Why do you need so many courtesy, Erlang? You two here, just be casual and don't be so particular."
So the best…
Fang Jun cursed, glanced around, and suddenly became sad again.
The hall is very spacious, with thick wood and exquisite carvings, but there are not many furnishings, making it seem a bit empty. Facing the door is a rosewood screen with the four-character ancient seal "Ming De Wei Xin" written on it. However, the meaning of this screen
The wood has extremely obvious patterns, which are complex and profound, and are very precious.
Except for a short coffee table in front of Xiao Yu, there was nothing else.
In other words, there are no chairs, not even a spoon...
Going out as a guest is the phenomenon that Fang Jun hates most, because it means he has to sit down on his knees. If he is in front of others, he can deal with it more easily, but in front of Xiao Yu, he can't be careless at all.
He can sneer at Xiao Yu, or even argue with Xiao Yu, but he must not sit down in front of Xiao Yu. That is an extremely serious disrespect. If Xiao Yu is a little more extreme, he can even think of it as a kind of disrespect.
humiliation……
There is no other way, just sit down and suffer.
Fang Jun sat down with a frown on his face. Seeing his gloomy expression, Xiao Yu couldn't help but wonder: "Erlang just made a fortune, why does he look so worried?"
Can I tell you that we are not used to sitting on our knees?
Sighing secretly, Fang Jun had no choice but to say: "There are so many things in front of me, and I am completely confused. The juniors have just taken power, but they feel that they have heavy responsibilities on their shoulders and their abilities are limited. Therefore, they are walking on thin ice, and they don't know how to eat or sleep. The trouble is real."
Too much trouble."
Xiao Yu chuckled and could understand Fang Jun's situation.
Establishing a new navy and preparing to establish a city shipping department are both extremely difficult tasks. Perhaps the former is relatively easy, but it also requires strong troop leadership capabilities and military literacy. As for the latter, it is even more difficult to achieve success due to numerous obstacles.
This is not to say that it is difficult to establish a municipal shipping department, but that it is too difficult to fully utilize the functions of a municipal shipping department.
Most of the gentry in the south of the Yangtze River were engaged in maritime trade, and they could travel freely without any government supervision. Therefore, they made a huge profit every time. Now, a shipping department suddenly appeared to take charge of maritime trade affairs and collect customs duties. This is obvious.
How can you easily get what you want by cutting off the flesh of the Jiangnan nobles?
Xiao Yu even thought that this Shibo Division was created by Fang Jun to disgust the Jiangnan nobles. Aren't you afraid that I would harm your interests when I came to Jiangnan? Well, I will kill you where you have the most profits.
!
This is actually the most fundamental reason why the Jiangnan gentry wanted to kill Fang Jun in Niuzhuji...
Xiao Yu personally served tea to Fang Jun and said with a smile: "When someone is given a great responsibility from heaven, his mind and body must first be starved. A young man must be energetic, but more importantly, he must be responsible and able to withstand difficulties.
The sky is bound to be brighter. Besides, with a huge sum of 600,000 yuan at the bottom, many things must be much easier."
Fang Jun took the teacup respectfully and said with a wry smile: "My lord, please don't ridicule me. If it really doesn't work, I will just return the Xiao family's 200,000 yuan."
Xiao Yu chuckled and said: "You kid is trying to frame me! You took other people's money, but you still want to return the Xiao family's money. Could it be that my Xiao family is colluding with you? If this is true, the Xiao family will need people in Jiangnan."
People are calling for a fight!"
Fang Jun knew how to get on with it: "You don't want this, it's not because I won't give it to you. Please don't mention this matter again in the future. I feel very sorry for you."
Xiao Yu burst out laughing, seemingly very happy: "Fang Xuanling has been a gentleman all his life, as gentle as jade, humble, kind, and benevolent. How could he be such an anomaly like you? This insidious and shameless demeanor is quite a bit like the old fox Changsun.
!”
"My lord, you have given me too much praise. Uncle eldest grandson is an outstanding figure among men. This younger generation is far from being good enough. We must keep up our efforts and learn with humility."
The implication is that Changsun Yin is much more sinister and shameless than me...
The old man and the young man chatted and laughed happily, just like a loving elder facing an outstanding junior, like a pair of friends who have forgotten their years, harmonious and harmonious.
Xiao Ban, who was outside the door, secretly shouted that his seventh brother was the best at socializing. He often talked with people all day long without mentioning any serious matters. Now, this Fang Jun has quite a bit of the seventh brother's demeanor in the past.
He was obviously invited by the Seventh Brother, but the Seventh Brother didn't mention anything serious, so he just kept making jokes. He was neither impatient nor impetuous, he was clearly a veteran!
But how did he know that Fang Erlang had been in the officialdom all his life in his last life, and he had long been tempered with the "doing everything but not doing serious business" attitude, although it may not be as good as the old man.
Xiao Yu is by no means a newcomer to the officialdom...
