Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 1755 There Is A Fool Who Just Says He Doesn’t Know
Still the same sentence, from frugality to extravagance is easy, from luxury to frugality is difficult, after tasting the huge profits of maritime trade, even if you are cut off, you don’t want to be deprived of the qualification of maritime trade!
That simply does not make people live...

He Pingchuan was so angry that his beard trembled wildly, and he said angrily: "How can the son-in-law be so overbearing, cancel it as soon as he says it will be cancelled, and oppress and bully us Jiangnan gentry like this, aren't you afraid of causing trouble?"

Although the He family in Kuaiji is not considered a top family, but since the Three Kingdoms and Jin Dynasty, it has been a famous family. It seems that the elders of his family can be regarded as respected figures in the local area. Seeing Fang Jun with such a stick, I'm not used to it.

The tough posture was subconsciously displayed...

He didn't notice anything, but Xiao Jing's face changed drastically, and he secretly yelled that it's not good!

This stick is like a donkey, if you choke him like this, do you forget how the Gu family wiped out...

Xiao Jing quickly reprimanded He Pingchuan: "You can't be drunk, what nonsense are you talking about?"

He Pingchuan also realized that he had said something wrong, his face was disturbed, and he bowed his head in silence.

His usual pride made him unable to say the words of admitting his mistakes...

But Fang Jun didn't intend to let him go, he stared at his old face, and said word by word: "What He said, can this officer be understood as threatening me, His Majesty, and the court?"

He Pingchuan's face trembled, and only then did he remember how cruel and merciless things had happened to the stick in front of him...

Uneasy in his heart, he said quickly: "Master Hou misunderstood, this old man is just talking about the status quo, without any threat at all."

Fang Jun was unmoved, his black face was full of seriousness: "That is to say, the current situation in Jiangnan is that if the Shibo Department cannot reduce taxes, there will be immediate turmoil, which will not only endanger His Majesty's great cause of Eastern Expedition, but even endanger the great cause of the Great Eastern Expedition. The stability of Tang Jiangshan?"

When this statement came out, the whole audience was shocked.

The people in power of this group of aristocratic families are sweating profusely, but no one dares to intervene...

Endangering His Majesty's great cause of the Eastern Expedition?

Endangering the stability of the Tang Dynasty?

Either one must be the death penalty for exterminating the family...

He Pingchuan was so frightened that his complexion turned pale, and his whole body was like sifting chaff. He got up and left his seat, and bowed to the ground: "It's the old man who was confused and said the wrong thing, but it definitely didn't mean what Lord Hou said."

Fang Jun said coldly: "That means I'm slandering you?"

He Pingchuan: "..."

How do you answer this bitch?

No matter how you say it is wrong...

He almost wanted to bite Fang Jun to death in his heart. This black boy is too cruel. He clearly just said that if the tax cannot be reduced, it will be very difficult for the imperial court to collect taxes in Jiangnan in the future. Said to hinder His Majesty's great cause of the Eastern Expedition, who said it would endanger the stability of the country?
If this crime is confirmed, then the Yi tribe...

Xiao Jing almost died of anger, staring hard at the bewildered He Pingchuan, wondering if this old man is too old to live, and wants to taste the taste of ghost knife?

If you want to taste it, you can try it yourself, but talking like this will not only implicate your family, but also make the whole family fall into a passive position, it is really stupid!
But no matter how angry he was, he had no choice but to come forward to save him, otherwise Fang Jun's stick would really go crazy, who knows what frightening things he could do...

"Don't be annoyed, Lord Hou, it's just a country old man talking nonsense, why should we take it seriously? We, the gentry in the south of the Yangtze River, have lived in a prosperous place for generations, and we are most grateful for the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty and the people's safety. We are grateful for your majesty's wisdom and martial arts, and for the court group Xian Biji, no matter what policies the imperial court has, they will definitely go all out to support them, and they will never dare to be embarrassing in their hearts, and obey them in the dark."

"Yes, yes, we are just a squire in the south of the Yangtze River, the most important thing is to live in peace and stability."

"We are all loyal to the emperor and patriotic. We were born as people of the Tang Dynasty and died as ghosts of the Tang Dynasty. We must never dare to have different ambitions."

……

Everyone was chattering, and hurriedly clarified themselves.

Fang Jun looked around for a week with a serious face. After seeing everyone jumping in fear, he suddenly smiled and said, "It's just a joke, why should you take it seriously?"

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and almost cursed!

Is there such a joke?
I'm almost scared to pee by you...

Fang Jun sat down with a golden knife, poured himself a cup, and then said meaningfully: "One must be self-aware, spare no effort to do what should be done, and avoid keeping secrets about what should not be done. He who knows others is wise, Those who know themselves are clear, those who know themselves do not blame others, those who know their fate do not blame heaven, those who blame others are poor, and those who blame heaven have no ambition. I once met a fool in Guanzhong who didn't know people, let alone himself. When others asked why, They all just said 'I don't know', and in the end they couldn't even beg, and their wives and children died of hunger and cold, and they didn't die well... Oh, everyone in Guanzhong knows about this, do you also know that you have lived in Jiangnan for a long time?"

This is beating us what should not be said, what should not be done, otherwise the wife and children will be separated, hunger and cold will not be able to die well?
Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, feeling the strong pressure brought by Fang Jun's fierce aura.

He Pingchuan was eager to improve his impression in front of Fang Jun, so he acted like a joke: "I don't know."

As soon as the words came out, I felt something was wrong...

They are all smart people, even if they make a mistake and fall into the pit, how can they not react?

Everyone glared at Fang Jun one after another!

What's wrong with this motherfucker is to teach everyone to be self-aware, she's clearly scolding others, treating everyone as fools...

Xiao Jing couldn't laugh or cry, this emperor's son-in-law was really a stick, really domineering.

Smiling, he turned around and said: "Master Hou's talent is unsurpassed in the world, and what he said casually is an incisive theory. This old man really admires it."

Fang Jun smiled and said, "This is what I said."

"He who knows others is wise, and he who knows himself is wise" This is the saying of Lao Tzu, the Lao Tzu of the Taoist patriarch, the Lao Tzu riding a green bull, but Fang Jun's words sound paradoxical, as if there is a bit of "Lao Tzu (your father and me)" the taste of……

Xiao Jing's smile froze on her old face, unable to speak.

For a while, he wasn't sure if Fang Jun was taking advantage of him...

The banquet was spent in an embarrassing atmosphere. The gentry in the south of the Yangtze River put on a big show and gave Fang Jun enough face, but they didn't get the desired result. Cheap meal.

Standing on the pier, looking at the undisguised resentment and disdain of these Jiangnan gentry, Fang Jun had a smile on his mouth and deep eyes.

Do you really think the young master doesn't know what you guys are doing secretly?
Or what if the young master can't treat you?

How can the world of the Great Tang allow you to be lawless and selfish, and think that you can rely on your family background to dominate during the Northern and Southern Dynasties?
The times have changed.

If you can't keep pace with the times and don't have self-knowledge, you are destined to be eliminated by the times.

Since you have decided to go all the way to the dark, then when you are in pain, you can't blame the young master for not predicting today...

"Let's go! Head to Huating Town!"

"Here!"

The soldiers on the ship promised loudly, lifted the anchor and raised the sails, and the fleet left the wharf of Haiyu Town, went down the river, and headed straight for Huating Town.

*****
When they arrived at the wharf of Huating Town, all the officials put down their official duties and gathered on the wharf to wait.

Huating Town is Fang Jun's fiefdom, and the Shibo Department was created by Fang Jun. It can be said that all the officials here rely on Fang Jun's nose. At this time, the big boss arrives, how could he not welcome him?
When the warship docked, all the officials stepped forward to salute.

Fang Jun smiled and nodded one by one, and then said loudly: "I will stay for a while when I am going south. Among you, many of you have old robes and haven't seen them for many days, and I miss them very much. Tonight, I will hold a banquet Treat everyone, we will not get drunk and we will never return! Now please return to the Yamen quickly, the most important thing is official business, and don’t waste the public for personal reasons.”

Ben came here to express his heart, but when he saw what Fang Jun said, he naturally dispersed in twos and threes.

Fang Jun looked at Liu Renyuan, who was becoming more and more heroic in his military uniform, stepped forward to tap his shoulder, and asked with a smile, "Is my father here?"

Liu Renyuan said respectfully: "The Prime Minister is drinking tea with Song Guogong in the official residence."

Fang Jun raised his eyebrows: "The old guy hasn't left yet?"

Liu Renyuan sweats profusely. He is also the Duke of the court. You call him an "old man" like that... you can only nod your head.

Fang Jun turned around and said to Pei Xingjian and others: "Everyone is busy first, I will go to pay my father's greetings first, and let's have a few drinks in the evening to catch up on the old relationship."

Pei Xingjian and others naturally responded.

Fang Jun, surrounded by Liu Renyuan and a group of soldiers, went to his official residence.

The maids and servants in the mansion had received the news a long time ago, and when they saw Fang Jun walking in surrounded by everyone, they stepped forward to salute.Huating Town is Fang Jun's fiefdom, and everyone in this mansion is Fang Jun's servant and his private property.

Fang Jun nodded slightly and walked straight into the main hall.

In the hall, Fang Xuanling is playing chess with Xiao Yu.

Fang Jun stepped forward and saluted, "I have seen Song Guogong."

After Xiao Yu smiled and excused himself, he bowed to Fang Xuanling and said respectfully, "I have seen my father."

Fang Xuanling nodded kindly, waved his hands and said, "Sit aside and wait for me and the Duke to finish this game of chess, and then discuss with you about taking a concubine."

Fang Jun was stunned, looking at Xiao Yu who looked like a gentle elder, he sighed helplessly in his heart.

The young master knows that he is handsome, and even more that he has a bright future, but your family is also from the Lanling Xiao family, so rushing to send your daughter to me as a concubine, is it too shameful?
Or is there something to be gained if you give up, and you are willing to spend a lot of money, just for a higher return...
