But one can be two, but it can't be repeated, so that this kind of thing is nothing by chance, but if it is like this every time, it will be punctured sooner or later. So when Fang Yingwu moved out of Sister Lan and scared off the first group of counselors, she had to move to live.

said that he asked Wang Dahu to buy a house, but its practical use was still the money of Fang Yingwu. At the beginning, Fang Yingwu put the bills equivalent to 1,000 taels of salt in his hand to Wang De and Wang Kui as capital, and helped them to connect with the eunuch Li Yi and Shaanxi, and successfully opened up the trade routes in the southeast and northwest, making several times the huge profits.

Now the 1,000 salt tickets have already become three or four thousand taels of silver, which is definitely a huge amount of money for ordinary people, not to mention buying a house, even ten places are about the same.

It's just that I can't buy a house on Qingyun Street, which is full of people, so I can only go to other districts, and Zuihou buys it in Wulinmen, which is convenient. But the original apartment still continued to be rented, and it was used as a foothold for the exams, after all, it was relatively close to the Gongyuan.

The Wang family sent a few servants to assist, and Fang Daxiucai moved his nest overnight and temporarily disappeared from the scholars of Qingyun Street. Also aware of this new place were Hong Song and Xiang Chengxian, who came to congratulate the "housewarming".

Xiang Chengxian sighed and said, "You have just made a name for yourself, and I don't know how many people are admiring you." Wouldn't it be a pity that you just stayed away from the crowd? ”

Hong Song disagreed with Xiang Chengxian's opinion, "This is a bad statement, studying quietly is the industry, and the flashy hustle and bustle is just a move to abandon the basics." ”

Fang Yingwu asked Xiang Chengxian a very strange question: "Then do you admire me?" Xiang Chengxian shouted: "What are these words! What do I admire you for? ”

"Yes, yes, the reason is that you and I are too familiar with each other." Fang Yingwu said: "The saint has also passed by: the near is inferior, and it is often said that distance produces beauty." That's it. Therefore, it is not necessarily bad to stay away appropriately, but it is easy to maintain a noble image. ”

Xiang Chengxian smacked carefully. Although it is a distorted interpretation, it seems that there is some truth in it. Weishenme uses the style of the ancients as a word of praise. I think it's also because the ancients are far away from us. ”

Fang Yingwu showed a teachable expression, "What's more, it's okay to have an eye-catching thing every once in a while, there is no need to stir it up every day, otherwise it will backfire." The saint has passed away, but he is too late. ”

Hearing the sage cloud again, Hong Song couldn't help frowning and complaining, "How did you read this sage book?" How do you feel that the reading is different from ours? ”

Fang Yingwu took out a few more pieces of paper and handed them to Xiang Chengxian, "These are some of my poems, when the two brothers usually travel." Preach for me. ”

Although Xiang Chengxian took it, he said with a bitter face: "Alas, it's a pity that I am a dignified man from a wealthy family in Jinxi, and I have unknowingly become a helper for you, and I never thought of it at the beginning." ”

Fang Yingwu said with a smile: "Little brother, I am lucky, I have a chance to meet with the two brothers, so I have to ask the two brothers to help me." Don't you hear: If one person attains the Tao, the chicken and the dog ascend to heaven? I'm famous, and it doesn't hurt you. ”

Xiang Chengxian sighed and said helplessly: "This is indeed the truth. Hong Song was noncommittal. Just follow the nonsense.

Time is like flowing water, and another month has passed, and the time is closer to the August Township Test, so there are more scholars gathered in the provincial capital. Qingyun Street is even more full. If a month ago, a single brick could hit seven or eight scholars, now a brick is falling. Can smash a dozen.

Fang Yingwu lives in his own exquisite house and reads beautifully. Didn't get too involved in foreign affairs.

Of course, it doesn't mean that they are ignorant of the outside world, and two friends, Xiang Chengxian and Hong Song, come to the party from time to time. can bring a lot of outside news.

On this day, Xiang Chengxian and Fang Yingwu said: "Do you know that the Shao family, a wealthy businessman in this city, has spent a lot of money, and has recently held two different elegant gatherings in a row, one is still in the West Lake, and the other is by the Qiantang River outside Wangchaomen. Both were rare large-scale events, with hundreds of people attending and singing hundreds of poems! ”

Fang Yingwu asked with a bit of ridicule: "Presumably Young Master Shao is very outstanding?" He must have become a man of the hour. ”

Xiang Chengxian said angrily: "It's nothing if he is brilliant or not, that is also his family's ability." But there is one thing that is very hateful, openly criticizing your poems and behaviors, and there are also a group of people who wave their flags and shout for it, echoing it from beginning to end, and at first glance it is the childcare you have found! ”

"Is that so?" Fang Yingwu frowned. Fame is originally based on ability, and whoever has the ability and talent will go up, which can be regarded as healthy competition. But the Shao family's behavior of directly stepping on people is a bit of a violation of the rules

Xiang Chengxian asked, "They must still be trying to get out that Shao Chen." And a while ago, you were too in the limelight and ruined their plans, so now I want to deliberately suppress you. What do you think is good? Can't you just watch him be bullied? ”

Is it true that my grandson, the governor, is a vegetarian? Fang Yingwu scolded a few words secretly, but he didn't think of any immediate ideas for a while, so he could only think about it in the long run.

Xiang Chengxian was sent away, but someone came to the door and sent a post, the owner of the post was Li Yi, a lieutenant in Zhejiang.

Fang Yingwu was silent, at first he wondered that there was no impermeable wall in the world, how did Li Yi know where he lived? After thinking for a moment, it suddenly dawned on him that he must have learned the news from the Wang family. If Eunuch Li wanted to ask, the Wang family would not fail to tell him.

Since he left Hangzhou last time, Fang Yingwu has not zaijian Li Yi, and he does not plan to see Li Yi when he goes to Hangzhou to participate in the township test this time.

First, there is no necessity, and second, self-motivated scholars of course meet as few eunuchs as possible, and scholars who often mingle with eunuchs are underestimated by Shilin.

Unexpectedly, Eunuch Li took the initiative to post to find other Fang Yingwu and thought about it repeatedly, there was really no need to offend a powerful eunuch, just go quietly, and no one could die.

What's more, if there is really something and Li Yi must see him, can he avoid it? After making up his mind, Fang Yingwu did not hesitate and followed the person to the eunuch's mansion in Xicheng Town.

When he arrived in the hall, he didn't wait for long, and Eunuch Li showed up, and he never slacked off those who shouldn't be neglected.

Now Li Yi's demeanor is much more relaxed than a year ago, and I think it is also because of the harvest this year, thanks to Fang Yingwu. For the local town guard eunuchs, as long as there is a sufficient amount of silver to worship in the palace, this position will be stable and comfortable.

After a few words of greeting, Fang Yingwu took the initiative to ask: "Li Gong summoned me to come down, I don't know what to see?" ”

Eunuch Li took out a letter from his sleeve, "It's not that I'm looking for you, it's Wang Gong looking for you." This is a handwritten letter from Wang Gong, which was addressed to you, but it was sent to me and entrusted to me to pass it on to you. ”

Wang Zhi's letter? Fang Yingwu hurriedly took it and started reading it on the spot, I don't know what Wang Zhi suddenly wrote to him about, did he miss it? That's not her cold style.

Looking closely, I saw that the gist of the letter was: This eunuch patrolled the border to Liaodong, because of his meritorious service, he "mistakenly killed" several Jurchen tribute envoys as military merits, which provoked the accusations of the princes of the imperial court, and the Son of Heaven was wise and did not care.

Now that I am bored at the border of Datong, I would like to ask you if there is any good way to brush up on military merits? It's also good that this eunuch will make up for his mistakes and show his face in front of Bixia.

After reading the letter, Fang Yingwu felt a deep pain, this Wang Zhi was really full of food, and ran to Liaodong to kill the tribute envoy and pretend to be military merit, this must be obsessed with military merit, but as Fang Yingwu, who knows the history of later generations, he really can't sympathize with those Jurchen tribute envoys who were unjustly killed.

Now Wang Zhi came to him again to ask for ideas, did he really regard him as a wise man who strategized and won thousands of miles, should he come up with this idea or not?

Thinking about it, it's better to deal with it a few times, there is no need to get along with Wang Zhi, Sun Xiaoniang is still there with her; Second, it is also for the righteousness of the country and the people, after all, at the border, Wang Zhi is the party representing the Ming Dynasty.

Fang Yingwu recalled the historical materials of his previous life, and said to Li Yi: "Borrow a pen and paper from the house, and write a reply letter here, please help send it to Datong." ”

This is not a bad thing, Eunuch Li said happily: "Fang Xiucai doesn't have to be polite, it's all wrapped up in me." Through this time, he could see that the relationship between Wang Gong and Fang Yingwu was closer than he imagined, so he had to treat Fang Xiucai more enthusiastically.

Fang Yingwu wrote: "I heard that two hundred miles north of Datong, there is a place name called Weininghai, because the water and grass are fertile and beautiful, it is often the place where a large number of northern captives gather to live. If the time arises, you can lead the army to carry three days of dry food, and run day and night to attack Weining Sea, which can naturally be accomplished. ”

In these years, the border army still has a certain combat effectiveness, and when the time is right, it can indeed take the initiative to attack and fight, if it is replaced by Jiajing, the army is slack, Fang Yingwu will never dare to put forward this kind of death proposal.

However, Fang Yingwu didn't know at this moment that he made this suggestion out of casual coping, but the consequences were so bad

Fang Yingwu finished writing the reply letter and handed it to Eunuch Li to send away. After a few more gossips, he was about to say goodbye, but he heard a noisy voice faintly from the front.

Li Yi rubbed his forehead with a headache, "Here we go again." Fang Yingwu asked strangely, "Is there anything else that makes it difficult for you to solve?" ”

Eunuch Li shook his head and replied helplessly: "The day before yesterday, the eunuch of the city commander of Ningbo came to me to pay tribute, and a scholar rushed into his servant on the street, and was pushed aside by the guide of the road, and the middle may have been rough.

I don't know what was wrong with this scholar's body, but he fell to the ground on the spot, and then died. Immediately rumored that the eunuch had killed the scholar by force, and in the past two days, a large number of scholars have often gathered in front of my door to make a noise, telling me to severely punish the murderer. I really didn't know what to do for a while, so I could only drag it first, and after a long time, it would be delayed. ”

If what Eunuch Li said was true, Fang Yingwu was extremely sympathetic, and of course he could only be extremely sympathetic. At the most sensitive time when the province's scholars gathered in the provincial capital, this kind of thing happened, what else can you say except bad luck.

It is estimated that in normal times, Eunuch Li would have ordered the crowd to be scattered with sticks. But in this special period, Eunuch Li did not dare to act rashly. (To be continued......)

PS: I wanted to send two chapters together, but I was afraid that it would be too late, so I sent this chapter first and continued to write the next chapter
