This is a house without a door plaque, but the surrounding neighbors know that this is a field house. In the courtyard of the imperial capital, this kind of house with only seven or eight courtyards is not large, and the door of the house is rarely opened, mainly because the owner rarely returns here, and the people buy and take away the side door.
In the depths of the house, among the young green leaves, there is a small courtyard, this courtyard is relatively small, compared to the other courtyards of the house, it is the smallest and the most inconspicuous.
This courtyard was chosen by Wang Fen for himself, he liked the quietness here, he didn't like God to come before, but he felt that it was too noisy and difficult to find a quiet place.
On the day he arrived in the imperial capital, Wang Fen ordered everyone in the Wang Xu family to stop and hide. This order made many people in the two families very dissatisfied, but he had the highest token of the ancestors of the two families of Wang Xu in his hand, and although these people were dissatisfied, they could not fail to obey it.
Sitting under the tree, lying on the chair leisurely, holding this poetry book in his hand, and the newly listed incense pieces are soaked on the table next to him, he does not study much tea, and he does not pick tea, in fact, he does not drink much, mainly to enjoy the fragrance.
A somewhat childish little girl knelt on the side, waiting carefully, and quietly glanced at the lying third master from time to time. The little girl didn't understand the poems in the book, but the third master was very interested in watching it, and fought back from time to time.
"Good poem!" the third master blurted out again.
"You've been looking at it for a few days, and what do you see?"
The little girl hurriedly raised her head, and saw Mr. Gong walking in slowly with his hands behind his back, and the third master looked up at him and beckoned, "Sit down, sit down." I haven't seen such good poetry for many years, and it's refreshing to read, and it's a world of difference from those pretentious works. ”
"Three articles that shook the imperial capital, the poems are naturally good. Mr. Gong said and sat down opposite him, and motioned to the little girl, who got up and bowed and retreated, and the two of them were left in the courtyard.
"His poems are wonderful, and even after a thousand years, they still linger. The third master sighed, seemingly very sorry.
"Childe cherishes talents. Mr. Gong smiled, and the third master smiled, turned the page, and sighed: "I never get tired of looking at it, how can I not use it!"
"Childe has been watching for six days, what do you see?" asked Mr. Gong.
"Alas, the world makes people, but I really want to be good friends with him and travel the world with him. Wang Fen sighed, full of regret, Mr. Gong did not speak, silent for a while, the third master said cautiously: "Generally people who can write such poems, or arrogant, or proud, or out of the dust, but he is a businessman, and the businessman is a person who must be compared, absolutely realistic, how can such a person have the feelings of the desert and the sunset; how can there be the romance of returning by the wind; not to mention, the moonlit night of the spring river, that is the feeling of being born and cultivating, and after thousands of years, it is still sung." ”
"How can such a poem be embodied in a person?" the third master sighed, his expression very confused.
Mr. Gong has no doubt about the third master's appreciation, the third master has a very high taste in this regard, those vulgar poems have never entered his eyes, and the third master is best at viewing people with literature.
For this reason, after arriving in the imperial capital, the third master ordered the collection of all Liu Han's articles, including three poems written in Chang'an, Liangzhou, several poems written in Cui's Mansion and Yanping County's palace, and the ones he collected when he was in Jizhou.
Of course, it is impossible to fully understand Liu Han, but it can deduce Liu Han's personality, habits, and hobbies, and figure out some rules for him to do things.
"What did you collect?" the third master asked, turning his head.
Mr. Gong shrugged: "There is no more, except for the public one, nothing else." ”
During this time, the third master read poems at home all day long, while Mr. Gong was active in the government and the opposition, visiting officials and businessmen who were good friends with Wang Xutian's family to understand Liu Han's support in the court.
Many of Liu Han's things are public in the imperial capital, such as he became friends with Qiu Ge, sent food to the Tuoba tribe for Qiu Yun, was a poetry friend with Lu Fan, the king of Yanping County admired him very much, Xiao Zhao and Xue Mi were friends of wine and meat, and Xiao Zhao Wang Ye also fought with the Tian family in Baiyi Garden for him.
On the rivers and lakes, Liu Han and Fengyulou Xiao Yu became friends, and the two joined forces to drive the Cao Gang Fang Zhen out of the imperial capital, forcing the Cao Gang to hand over the waterway north of Pengcheng.
In the shopping mall, Liu Han also performed well, Hanhai Jewelry is already the second largest jewelry store in the imperial capital, only a little worse than Ming Yuzhai, this is mainly the palace procurement, the palace has to purchase jewelry every year, Liu Han doesn't seem to care about this, he didn't take the initiative to rob it, Ming Yuzhai almost monopolized the palace procurement.
In addition to jewelry, Hanhai Trading Company has developed fiercely for more than a year, and the weaving and dyeing workshops have risen together, and soon seized three or four percent of the market in the imperial capital, you must know that the imperial capital is a city with a population of more than one million, and the cloth needed every year is a large amount of money.
"Jewelry is good to say, but the weaving workshop and the dyeing workshop are different, many businesses in the imperial capital are involved in weaving and dyeing, the Confucian family in Qingzhou, the Chen family and the Xie family in Yanzhou, and the Zhang family in Jingzhao all have weaving workshops and dyeing workshops, which have been greatly impacted, and in just a few months, the profits have decreased by five or six percent. ”
Mr. Gong sighed and said: "If you want to talk about business, this Liu Han is really a genius, the cloth woven by his weaving workshop can't help but be beautiful, and it is very thick, and the dyed cloth is bright in color and does not fade, I have tried, no matter how you wash it, it will not fade."
Not to mention, the way he adopts the business, can be said to be wonderful, in the words of the industry, is the way of joining, each franchised store, as long as you pay a deposit, you can go to Hanhai Trading Company for training, Hanhai Trading Company is also responsible for providing all raw materials, raw material fees are also settled once a month.
I estimated that at this rate, in less than two years, the dyed cloth of the entire imperial capital would have to be eaten by him. ”
"Then what is the chance of success from the court?" The third master asked, Mr. Gong thought for a while, and shook his head slightly: "I don't think there is much hope, unless it is said to pass the Pan chain." ”
"Oh, why?" asked the third master, who put the book of poems on the desk and picked up the teacup.
"He has a good relationship with the King of Yanping County and the Prince of Xiao Zhao, these two are newly emerging clans, in addition, I heard that he was recommended by Xue Mi to enter the forbidden army, if it is the King of Yanping County and the Prince of Xiao Zhao who have not spread their wings, Xue Mi is different, he is in the middle of the book, he is the emperor's close attendant, if Xue Mi wants to speak for him, it will be difficult to bring him down through the power of the imperial court. ”
"Long sleeves are good at dancing, which is in line with the characteristics of businessmen. The third master smiled, and then sighed in wonder: "How can so many characteristics be concentrated in one person, it is really puzzling." ”
Mr. Gong couldn't help sighing, so much information, after careful analysis, he felt that Liu Han was even more tricky, and he was very puzzled......
"Childe, do you want to negotiate with your ancestors and negotiate with Liu Han to force him to give up the waterway north of the Yellow River. ”
Wang Fen smiled bitterly, took out a piece of paper and handed it to Mr. Gong: "This was just received in the morning, the ancestor has made up his mind, alas, if you continue to fight like this, I'm afraid it will only be a lose-lose situation." ”
Lose both!
This is the conclusion reached by Wang Fen.
Mr. Gong agrees with this conclusion.
This time, Wang Xutian's three families joined forces to deal with Fengyulou, the purpose was to grab the golden waterway from Pengcheng to the imperial capital, this waterway connected Jiangnan to the north, and all materials from Jiangnan to the north had to pass through this waterway, and the annual shipping income alone was 100,000 taels of silver.
But Liu Han is too tricky, the masters sent to the imperial capital some time ago were almost killed and wounded, Shi Lao with the ability of a middle-grade grandmaster, also folded in this formation, and the others included the Weeping Blood Knife, Yin and Yang Elders, all of them were damaged, and the loss of family strength was amazing.
Judging from the strength that Liu Han has shown so far, he himself has the strength of a top-grade grandmaster, and there are several high-grade martial artists under him, in addition to the assistance of Fengyulou, Xiao Yu is obviously not dead, he is hiding in Liufu to recuperate, and behind Xiao Yu, there is also the Demon Gate.
If you continue to fight like this, even if you defeat Liu Han, the strength of the family will inevitably be lost by half, and without ten or twenty years of hard work, I am afraid that it will not be able to recover.
Mr. Gong quickly read the content of the biography, and couldn't help but smile bitterly, the ancestor severely reprimanded Wang Fen in the biography, telling him that this waterway must be obtained, at any cost, with more help from the imperial court, and the family has sent reinforcements.
"I'm afraid the old ancestor made a mistake this time. Mr. Gong sighed deeply: "If you continue to fight like this, even if you grab this waterway, the family's losses may be extremely amazing, and if you can kill Liu Han, it will be fine, if you let him escape, I am afraid that there will be no peace from now on." ”
Let a top-grade grandmaster be hung up, it is very terrifying, only a thousand days to be a thief, that has a thousand days to prevent thieves, thinking of a high-grade grandmaster lurking in the shadows, I am afraid that none of the Wang Xu family can live at ease.
"I'm not so worried. Wang Fen sighed, the more he pondered about Liu Han, the more tricky he felt, unless he could kill him in one fell swoop, how difficult it was to kill a high-grade grandmaster.
"Well, if you don't pause, let's start with the impeachment of Chen Xuan. Mr. Gong proposed that the impeachment of Chen Xuan was set by the ancestors, the purpose was to bring Chen Xuan down from Jingzhao Mansion, but it didn't work out, Chen Xuan made a bad move, let those Jianghu people fight to the death in the school field, and quickly stabilized the security of the imperial capital, this matter is bright and bright, no one can blame, but it skillfully defuses the attack of the courtiers.
"What is the impeachment of him?" Wang Fen asked rhetorically, "Exiles?"
Wang Fen threw out these two words, indicating that he had already thought about it, the ancestor asked him to come to the imperial capital this time, not just because of Liu Han, but also because of Chen Xuan, the latter even on top of the former, to overthrow Chen Xuan, and let the people of Jizhou Wang Xu and the two families take over.
"Maybe you can use this name to impeach, in addition, I heard that Chen Xuan has two wives and concubines, and his brother-in-law is in charge in Beifang, and his hands are not clean. Mr. Gong said, Wang Fen frowned slightly when he heard this, the steward is just a petty official who is not in the stream, and he doesn't even have a grade, and the impeachment of this person is at most just a little water on Chen Xuan, which is not enough to shake Chen Xuan's position at all.
"There is one more thing," Mr. Gong said, and Wang Fen looked up at him: "A few days ago, the second child of the Tian family did something stupid, and he sent someone to burn the archives of Du Zhicao. ”
"What?!!!" Wang Fen was extremely surprised, looked at Mr. Gong in disbelief, Mr. Gong nodded silently, Wang Fen was furious: "This idiot!"
"Alas, he's a fool, but fortunately, he's gone," Mr. Gong said, and Wang Fen shook his head: "It's already a startle!
"The prince is nothing, he still just sealed the previous account, but Liu Han no longer cares about the old file library, and the impact of this matter is not big?"
Wang Fen thought about it and shook his head: "Sir, I'm afraid it's wrong, even if the prince and Liu Han don't pursue this matter, when I'm sure that it has alarmed the palace, Grandpa Mu is not a fuel-efficient lamp." ”
"But it's been a few days, and there's been no movement. Mr. Gong said, Wang Fen smiled coldly: "It's over?!! it's because Gonggong Mu can't be busy, the imperial court is in Chenguo, in Yangzhou, there are too many things, and I don't have the energy to pay attention to this for the time being. ”
Wang Fen paused and exclaimed: "The prince is smart, he knows that those old files can't be checked, and he doesn't want to memorize them, so it's a matter of crispness, it's already very good to deal with it like this, the idiot of the Tian family, looking for death by himself, has to pull someone back!"
Mr. Gong sighed heavily, he knew the joints well, but the problem was that it was like this now, and suddenly he had an idea, and proposed: "Otherwise, Gan will use this as an excuse to impeach Wei Wei, and then suggest that Chen Xuan replace Wei Ming." ”
"This is not again..."Wang Fen wanted to say that this was another battlefield, but he paused halfway through speaking, this Wei is a person from the Wei valve in Xuzhou, and he has been in control of Tingwei for six years, and the Xuzhou gate valve and the Qingzhou gate valve have always been suspicious, and the relationship with the Jiangnan gate valve is not good, but the relationship with the Runan gate valve is better, but the strength of the Runan gate valve is weak.
"Maybe that's the way to do it. Wang Fen made up his mind as he spoke: "However, don't use our people, let the people from Yongzhou or Shilin go up, by the way, it's best to go up with people from the state." ”
"Let's report to the ancestors first. Mr. Gong reminded, Wang Fen nodded: "This is natural, you will go to Lord Ding's house later, and ask him if there is anyone in this area." ”
"Okay!" Mr. Gong said and entered the house, and after a while came out, and gave the written handbook to Wang Fen for a look, and after Wang Fen read it, he signed his name, and then tore it into several notes, called in, and asked him to send it out immediately.
"I went out first. After Mr. Gong finished speaking, he didn't wait for Wang Fen to speak, and swaggered out of the courtyard.
Wang Fen didn't speak, and picked up the poetry book again to look at it, but he didn't turn a page for a long time.
The emperor was in a hurry, the movements of the Saiwaihu tribe were getting bigger and bigger, the king of Qin and the king of Taiyuan had already played several times, the Huns of Baishan had begun to move towards the Qinshui River, and the Xianbei sheep horn tribe moved south, invading the grasslands of Xianbei in the south, and clashing with the white camel tribe of Xianbei in the south.
The war of the Saiwaihu tribe is about to break out!
However, the imperial treasury was still empty, and even the arsenal of Yongzhou could not be filled, so Qiuyun suggested that the equipment in the arsenal of the imperial capital be urgently transported to Chang'an to enrich the arsenal of Chang'an, and another 100,000 taels of silver were allocated from the Shaofu to compensate for the military salaries of the border army.
But this suggestion was rejected by Ding Xuan, who put the accounts of Shaofu in front of the six auxiliary ministers, and clearly told the six auxiliary ministers that after the Shaofu put the first emperor Zi Palace into the earth, there was no 100,000 taels of silver left, and only 20,000 silver remained, and the 20,000 silver would also ensure that the expenses of the people in the palace this year must not be moved.
In the face of the tough Ding Xuan, although the six auxiliary ministers did not believe that Shaofu had no money, no one could do anything, Shaofu was the emperor's private money, so he couldn't check the emperor's private money!
