Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 922 The Curve to Save the Nation
It is a kind of helplessness for a clever woman to cook without rice.

It is a tragedy to have a daughter-in-law who has both rice and cooking pots but no firewood...

Fang Jun sighed irritably when he saw the plan he wrote with all his energy.

What kind of channels should be used to build Da Nang?
While feeling depressed, the leisurely young master Yuming walked in...

Since the fleet arrived in Linyi country, this man has been walking around to see and appreciate the scenery of Linyi and appreciate the exotic customs, but he can't catch anyone all day long.Even when Fang Jun led the navy to fight the Chenla elephant soldiers in Singapura, this guy didn't know where he was...

"Hehe, Young Master Yuming, I haven't seen you for a long time, my little brother misses you like years..."

Fang Jun was clearly resentful.

You are a master, usually you can do whatever you want, but when we are on the battlefield with real swords and guns, at least you should stand by our side and act as a qualified bodyguard, right?
Yu Minglei didn't seem to understand Fang Jun's complaint, he sat on the chair without hesitation, poured himself a cup of warm tea, and let out a long breath.

"Sure enough, reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles. I used to live in the Central Plains for a long time. Who would have thought that there would be such a country with such different customs on the coast of the sea thousands of miles away?"

Fang Jun asked curiously, "Where have you been these days?"

Yu Minglei said: "Going to a few places, Lord Hou probably doesn't know that this Linyi country worships Brahma and holds sacrifices without restriction. It is believed that through sacrifices, people and gods can communicate directly. The people respect and sing about nature. , especially worship the deified natural gods-Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva. The reason for worshiping them is that the three main gods perform their duties and jointly rule everything in the universe. Brahma creates the universe and dominates the destiny of mankind; Vishnu maintains the peace of the universe and shows the fearless spirit of rewarding the good and punishing the evil, so it is most admired by people; God Shiva can not only destroy the universe, but also subdue demons and reproduce...so people can only obey the power of God, Worshiping the life given to people by the Lord God, while strictly following the existing unequal caste system... well, it's just bullshit."

A look of disdain.

Fang Jun became more and more curious: "Isn't your Yuming family a servant who claims to be a god? How come you don't believe in gods when you get here?"

Yu Minglei rolled his eyes and said, "Who is a god? God is beyond the five elements, invisible and omnipotent. The so-called Brahmanism in Lin Yiguo is not even as good as the Buddhism that prevails in the Central Plains, let alone the gods and Buddhas of Buddhism. Existence, just persuading people to do good, and then they can only be praised. But this Brahmin is just wearing the cloak of a god to perform obscene acts of slavery and exploitation, what has it to do with the gods?"

The corner of Fang Jun's mouth twitched: "Hehe..."

Isn't the most fundamental meaning of all religions in the world to artificially create unequal classes to achieve the purpose of exploitation?
That god you believe in is a crap...

But when it comes to this Brahmin, Fang Jun's heart is moved.

Maybe make a fuss all at once?
Liu Rengui's expression was solemn: "Master Hou, in the end, the general should strictly believe in the religion of Linyi people in the garrison. If someone is corrupted by this Brahmin, once found out, he will be severely punished."

Fang Jun thought so.

Don't talk about freedom of religious belief. Since it is an army and a violent machine of the country, there can only be one voice and one belief-serve the country with loyalty!
If a soldier believes in a religion, he will inevitably feel sympathy for the believers of the same religion, which is absolutely unacceptable...

But there is no need to be so nervous now, Fang Jun just thought of a method that might be able to save the country with a curve.

"If the Marquis donates a large amount of money to the Brahmins in the name of respecting the Brahmins, and then the Linyi royal family undertakes the construction of Da Nang in return, what do you think?"

Yu Minglei didn't even want to hear about this kind of thing: "It's pretty good..."

He is only interested in purely technical matters.

Liu Rengui's spirit was shaken: "Selling dog meat as a sheep's trick?"

Fang Jun coughed dryly, and said in displeasure, "Actually, you can say 'Mingxiu plank road secretly darkening Chencang'..."

Liu Rengui chuckled: "Isn't that all the same thing?"

Allowing merchants to undertake the construction of Da Nang will lead to opposition from the rotten scholars in the country. Using merchants’ money to donate to local religions has achieved the goal of harmonious relations. You can’t object to this, right?In order to thank the navy for respecting the gods they believe in, the royal family of Linyi undertook the construction of Da Nang. You can’t object to this, right?
Although it is all the same money in the end, it becomes reasonable and legal to transfer it like this, just like money laundering in later generations.

As for whether the royal family of Linyi will be willing to spend the money, there is no doubt at all.The so-called Brahmins are simply playthings under Lin Yiguo's state apparatus. In other words, the money that Fang Jun donated to the Brahmins went into the pockets of Fan Fanzhi and his son...

"In that case, let's go to Sangapura immediately and discuss with Fan Zhenlong."

Liu Rengui responded, and went ashore to prepare the carriage.

"Let's go by boat!"

Fang Jun said.

Liu Rengui was puzzled, Da Nang was only less than [-] miles away from Singapura City, but it would be far away if it was by water.

Fang Jundao: "Go to Dazhanhaikou to have a look, isn't it said that it is the most prosperous port in Linyi Kingdom? See how big the gap is with Datang's seaport, and also see how many merchants there are in Datang. They all want to come to Da Nang to do business!"

It is necessary to build Da Nang into the center of trade between Datang and Linyi Kingdom.Otherwise, what's the point of just garrisoning troops?The tax brought by commerce and trade is incomparably huge...

*****
The fact that Da Nang was purchased by the Royal Navy of the Tang Dynasty and became the territory of the Tang Dynasty from now on is almost spread among the Han people who occupy the mouth of the sea with the sea breeze!

The merchants of the Tang Dynasty who occupy Haikou are like a group of old naked people in their thirties. When they suddenly hear someone come to say goodbye, they are ecstatic!
How could you not be happy?
It is not easy to live in a foreign land, and what you do is a lowly businessman's business, and you have been bullied a lot!Lin Yiguo and his bastards didn't take the merchants of the Tang Dynasty too seriously. After all, they did a lot of trouble with the Han people head-on.

What's more, although the Han people are strong, what does the army they refer to have anything to do with merchants?
The whole world knows that Han people discriminate against businessmen, and many countries follow suit and look down on businessmen.Even if businessmen were insulted and oppressed in other countries, the Han court mostly ignored it.

As a result, it naturally encouraged the atmosphere of oppressing Han merchants in various countries.

In order to make money, Han businessmen can only swallow their breath. Who told the ancestors to have nothing to do to create a low class of "scholars, farmers, businessmen" and classify businessmen as lowly for thousands of years?Doing business in Lin Yiguo is really angry. These bastards are really stupid when they do business, and Han merchants make a lot of money casually.But when it's unreasonable, it's really muddled!Just do what you want, there is no reasoning at all!

Although the Jiaozhou General Manager's Mansion is in Songping County not far to the north, those officials and lords don't care about things at all, and they are doing small business leisurely. As for the other Han merchants, they are happy...

it's good now!

Da Nang has become our territory, and even the garrison is our Han family men, who else would dare to bully us?Even if you are bullied, it is still being bullied by your own family. We feel at ease...

Furthermore, it was Huating Hou Fangjun who spent money to buy Da Nang. Who is Fang Jun?

That is the man with the title of "God of Wealth", he can be said to be the richest businessman in Datang!The merchants who came to Linyi State to do business often traveled between Linyi State and Datang, and naturally they were very familiar with Fang Jun's reputation.In today's Datang business world, Fang Jun is like a god!

Who has never heard of Fangjiawan Wharf, which has long been a commercial distribution center in Guanzhong?

There, all transactions are handled in accordance with the rules and regulations, and there have never been any scandals of using power for personal gain or oppressing others!All businessmen are treated equally, whether you are a wealthy businessman or a small family with scattered needles and brains, you will never be treated differently!
This is simply the gospel of all Han merchants!

If you can get the protection of the Royal Navy, is there any place in the South China Sea that is not allowed by the merchants of the Tang Dynasty?

Therefore, when more than a dozen warships of the Royal Navy sailed into the harbor of Dazhanhaikou, countless merchant ships rushed over like sardines.

Who wouldn't want to get acquainted with this "God of Wealth"?
　Last night, my friend's mother had a cerebral thrombosis. After a simple treatment at the local hospital, she was transferred to Shenyang overnight, so the update was delayed, and I didn't even have time to announce the notification. Sorry everyone!It’s still two shifts today, I didn’t sleep all day and one night, I drove hundreds of kilometers, forgive me...
