Chapter 508: Come on, Ill give you the knife. You go ahead!
"My son, what do you think of Wang Xuan?" A man with a half-white beard but a strong spirit asked, looking at the young man beside him.
"Wang Xuan." The young man frowned and began to think carefully. If it were in front of outsiders, he could say whatever he wanted, but he didn't dare to face his own father.
He is the eldest son of the family and has been trained as the next head of the family. When faced with his father's inquiries, he must answer carefully and not be affected by other outside comments.
"Ruthless, flamboyant, egotistical, domineering, not caring about anyone else's comments, acting decisively, eclectic, unaffected by worldly rules and regulations... How can I put it this way, many of his governance plans run counter to ancient rules.
, it’s ridiculous to say that the Southeast Asian Institute of Flora and Fauna, that’s what it’s called, is actually based on a martial arts sect that makes poisons. It’s just nonsense. Since this period of time, Jiangnan Shilin has been shocked.
From all the great scholars to ordinary young scholars, no one has not scolded Wang Xuan. This is simply an insult to the most holy teacher. They are a bunch of martial arts scum. Even a few guys who cannot read Chinese characters dare to call them dean and professor.
It is simply the most ridiculous thing in the world..."
He was talking with great enthusiasm, and when he was about to curse, he suddenly realized that his father's face was not good-looking, so he shut his mouth softly.
To be honest, his understanding of Wang Xuan was only superficial. Most of them were learned through discussions with some friends at daily gatherings. In the end, he inevitably brought in other people's comments about Wang Xuan.
The muscular man opposite frowned slightly when he heard this and sighed, "I support you to have more contact with your peers. After all, these are the more outstanding children of each family, and in the future, they will also be the heirs in charge of each family.
However, when it comes to people and things, you must have your own judgment, and don't follow what others say. How do you know that what they say is what they really think."
"In addition, you must also understand that those great scholars are just promoted by our big families. What they say and do are all purposeful. Don't be misled by their remarks. You must know that let these
What the great Confucian said is for other people to listen to, not for yourself. Furthermore, every word you say has a purpose. It is based on interests and is not nonsense."
"As the saying goes, listen to the words and listen to the sound, not just superficially, but listen to what is involved in this sentence. As for what insults the Holy Master, what big words you don't know, it just touches the foundation of their foundation.
Forget it, if those martial arts people are not of great use, then Wang Xuan will go out of his way to support them. You don't even think about it, he has never treated other people with such courtesy. Even those famous scholars in the world, he has never sent anyone
Contacted no one."
"How can Wang Xuan, who has built such a huge foundation, be the most deceitful person in the world as you say? How can you be so capable? Come on, I'll give you the sword. You can do what you want!"
"Those so-called great Confucians are proficient in playing chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, poetry, and poetry, but if you really let them do something practical, hey, no matter how big their family fortune is, they won't be able to corrupt them."
After being lectured by his father, the young man's mouth twitched. He did not dare to defend himself and could only listen honestly. He didn't understand why his father was so optimistic about Wang Xuan. You know, if you really talk about it, this man named Wang is a sworn enemy of his family.
.
"Okay, I asked you to come here today for something. When I tell you to go out the day after tomorrow, let's tell others that we can go to the capital, but we will divert to Fujian in the middle."
"Ah!?" The young man was stunned for a moment, feeling that he must have heard wrong, and said in shock: "Dad, let's go to Fujian. Isn't this a joke? If people know, we will live together with the country."
Duke Guo of Wei went to see Wang Xuan. This...not to mention whether it is embarrassing or not, I am afraid that if the news spreads, the court will not let it go, and even the lineage of Duke Ding in the capital will be implicated."
"Disgraceful? It's just a joke. You are so used to being pampered in this city of Nanjing that you no longer know how high the world is when you are flattered by others!" The old Duke's face changed and he reprimanded coldly.
"So what if it really spreads out? Why won't the imperial court just give up and take a look? If the imperial court really has a way, it won't pinch its nose and grant Qi Hongliang a title. What kind of reward for meritorious soldiers is just force.
It’s just a show of respect, but Wang Xuan’s 100,000 troops are pressing down on the situation, forcing the four major parties to give in!”
"As for being implicated, I, the Xu family, have two kingdoms, who dares to implicate one of them? I, the Xu family, have been vegetarians for more than two hundred years!"
Having said this, the old man became imposing and exuded a majestic look that no one dared to look down upon.
"Hey, rest with the country, this sentence has been circulated for more than two hundred years, but you know, among these four words, the most important is the word 'rest', which means that as long as the Ming Dynasty is over, then we
Xu family, these two princely palaces are completely over! The Ming Dynasty has been more than 260 years ago. Do you know how many years there are in the Eastern and Western Han Dynasties, how many years in the Tang Dynasty, and how many years in the Southern and Northern Song Dynasties? Go and do the math. I
How long can the Xu family exist?!"
The old Duke's words made the young man turn pale and tremble all over. The underlying meaning of these words was that the Ming Dynasty was almost at the end, "This, this, how is this possible?"
, the Holy King is on the throne, and the people are in full swing, our Ming Dynasty will surely be able to last for generations to come..."
Looking at the expressionless face of the old prince, the young man's voice became softer and quieter, his confidence became weaker and weaker, and in the end it was so low that it was unheard.
"Jue Wen, I, the Xu family, will retire with the country. No matter who wins the world later, they will not keep our Xu family. Even if we surrender, it will be useless. The Xu family has received too much favor from the emperor. If we keep it, it will be a disaster.
You can't really just wait for the family to be wiped out." Old Duke Xu Hongji murmured in a low voice.
"Father, do you really want to do this? Do you think that Wang Xuan is expected to win the world?" A young man in his late twenties couldn't help but twist his body when he listened to his father's whisper in front of him.
It really made him a little uneasy.
"That's not necessarily true. Regardless of whether he can conquer the world or not, it has nothing to do with our purpose this time. It's just about finding a way out!" Xu Hongji said with a mysterious smile.
This old fox has been a noble for twenty-three years, and it has been twenty-four years now. He is used to seeing the treacherous clouds and waves in the court, and he is very scheming. Every word he says has a profound meaning.
An inconspicuous merchant ship set out from Nanjing. This ship, no matter where it was checked, had nothing to do with the Xu family. Ten days later, it arrived in Fuzhou Prefecture, Fujian Province from Nanjing.
Standing on the bow of the ship, queuing up to enter the port, Xu Hongji and his son looked at the huge port, with ships coming in and out like densely packed tadpoles. They were speechless for a moment, even though they were used to the prosperity and were conceited and knowledgeable.
Xu Hongji was stunned by what was going on, let alone the young Xu Wenjue.
"How can there be a more prosperous place in the world than Nanjing City, this port, these ships... there are too many!" Xu Wenjue, who only came back to his senses after a while, couldn't help but exclaimed.
"Young master, I don't know. If we really want to talk about prosperity and wealth, our city of Nanjing must have been the most prosperous five years ago. But now, with the experience of running a business for so many years, Fuzhou is now the most prosperous in the world!" Standing aside
The captain explained to Wei Guogong and his son: "In terms of money alone, Mr. Wuzhou first massacred seven families in Fujian, and then massacred many big families in Guangdong and Guangxi. The gold and silver they confiscated were countless, and according to rumors, they were no less than three thousand.
More than 10,000 taels, not to mention that he led troops to Annan and massacred the city several times, killing more than 700,000 people. The remaining Annan people were also captured and made prisoners. The treasures accumulated by the Annan Kingdom for thousands of years were basically plundered by him.
, I heard that the gold and silver has piled up like a mountain, it’s impossible to count!”
"That's it, it was stolen. It is said that there are 20 million acres of cultivated land for sale in northern Annan, and the price starts from ten taels of silver per acre... In addition, the properties under Mr. Wuzhou's name are all treasures. If nothing else, but
The annual output of iron, hehe, is four times that of our Ming Dynasty, not to mention that it does not sell iron, it is processed into various parts and products. Once, Mr. Wuzhou said this, I don’t like money, I don’t like money.
Money has no interest!”
"..."Xu Hongji.
"..." Xu Wenjue.
What a ‘f*ck’ sentence!
All over the world, who dares to say this, even if you are an emperor, you don’t dare to say it!
Xu and his son raised their heads and shed tears of poverty. They thought about the countless mountains of gold and silver, and the iron output four times that of the Ming Dynasty. For a moment, they seemed to see Wang Xuan standing on the top of the mountains of gold and silver.
, with a helpless expression on his face, he was worried, when will he be able to spend all the money at his feet?
There is really no place to save it!
At this moment, I heard the captain say again: "If you don't come to Fuzhou, you don't know how little money there is. The people here are so rich. Even the most ordinary people live in buildings and can eat meat every day.
Every time I come here, I feel like I don’t have enough money and there are too many good things. If I don’t plan carefully, the little money I have saved over the years will be spent in no time!”
After finally queuing up and entering the port, Xu and his son got off the boat and it was an eye-opener for them. This place seemed like it was not the Ming Dynasty at all. The first impression they had on them was that it was clean and tidy, and the second impression was that the rules were very strict, even walking.
, there must be a fixed route, and the third is the bustling, dazzling array of shops, with too many unfamiliar objects, making the two of them feel like country people.
I let the captain take me around for a day before giving up. In the evening, I found the largest inn in the new city. I wanted to book a courtyard, but after asking, I found out that it was impossible. It was not a matter of money. The land in the city was too tight.
There is no yard at all. If you want to live in a spacious place, you can only go far outside the city. As for renting an inn, it is even more of a joke. Who can live here is not the master of the wind and rain, who can do anything wrong?
money!
They had no choice but to live in the two best houses. Of course, they did not forget to send greeting cards to Wang Xuan's mansion. They had heard that the greeting cards received by Wang Xuan every day had to be carried in a car.
, and Mr. Wang rarely sees anyone. Although they are noble enough in terms of status, he doesn't know if Wang Xuan, who behaves surly and doesn't care about the rules at all, will care...
After all, if we really talk about it, the Xu family is too deeply involved with the imperial court.
…
"It's interesting!" Wang Xuan looked at the greeting card in his hand and was stunned for a long time. He never expected that the Xu family would come to see him in person!
