Chapter 930
Fang Jun nodded and said: "The new bamboo paper will be officially launched on the day when Shibo is in operation. The cost of this bamboo paper is extremely low and the quality is excellent. Lu's has a long-term vision and doesn't plan to make a fortune at a high price. , but take the route of small profits but high sales, first pave the bamboo paper path all over the Tang Dynasty, and then sell it overseas."

"It's so good. Fame is more important than anything else. This move will definitely make the Lu family highly respected by scholars all over the world. With the voice of the people, wealth will naturally come naturally. This is the right path that a family should take."

Zhou Boxian said in admiration.

The two of them never mentioned the so-called "weapon sales"...

In fact, both of them knew what the other meant.

The Zhou family was afraid of Fang Jun, that's why they secretly supported Zhang Liang, instead of declaring their opposition with great fanfare.Fang Jun's charges were really serious, but most of them were to scare people. It is impossible to wipe out the Gu family just now, and then ransack the Zhou family's house later.

In that case, the whole Jiangnan will be in chaos, and everyone will be in danger.

What Fang Jun wanted was an attitude from the Zhou family, and today Zhou Boxian came to discuss the joint operation of Yangxian Black Tea in person, and he came to give this attitude...

They are all smart people, so there is no need to say anything superfluous.

"Since Brother Zhou is here, why don't you go to the Shibosi Yamen with me to witness a new system that has never existed in the Tang Dynasty?"

Fang Jun issued an invitation.

Today is the day when the Shibo Department is in operation. Merchants from the entire Jiangnan, Central Plains, and Guanzhong are gathered, waiting to see what the rules and regulations of this unprecedented new yamen are.The establishment of the Shibo Division is equivalent to cutting the flesh of the sea merchants. This is the consensus of everyone, but the extent to which the flesh is cut and whether it can be tolerated is unknown...

The whole world is curious.

Zhou Boxian smiled wryly, shook his head and sighed, "Master Hou still doesn't intend to let the old man go..."

The gentry and merchants in the entire south of the Yangtze River were there, and Fang Jun dragged him to appear together at this time, which meant something self-evident.From now on, the Yangxian Zhou family is completely on Fang Jun's boat, and they can't get off even if they want to.

Of course, what Zhou Boxian didn't realize was that this boat went aboard, but no one wanted to get off, and they couldn't drive away...

Fang Jun laughed loudly, and teased, "Brother Zhou, why did you say that? I have heard that the Jiangdong River is moist and the climate is beautiful, and there are many beauties from the Shen and Zhou clans. If this Marquis hadn't been recruited by His Majesty to be his son-in-law, he might have hired a matchmaker at this moment." Go to the Zhou family to find a beauty who you think is a good match, why not let it go?"

The fact that the Shen and Zhou clans produce beauties is an evaluation that has existed since ancient times.

Fang Jun was just making a joke, and the speaker didn't mean it, but Zhou Boxian's heart moved, and the listener was interested.It is certain that the future of this man in front of him is limitless, and there is almost no doubt about his success. Now there are folk legends such as "the court will be controlled by Fang Jun in 20 years", and many people admit this.

It is impossible to fight against Fang Jun, so it is inevitable to have a good relationship.

This is already the emperor's son-in-law, so if the Zhou family chooses a woman from the clan to be his concubine, it will not be considered an insult to the Zhou family. After all, the first wife is a royal princess with golden branches and jade leaves...

The two had their own thoughts, and as soon as they got up, they saw Sun Chengen, the magistrate of Rudong County, walking in from the outside.

This old man was always dressed in shabby clothes, and because it was raining outside, he held an umbrella in one hand and lifted the corner of his official robe with the other, revealing a pair of patched boots...

As soon as Sun Chengen entered the door, he saw that the eyes of the two people were all focused on his feet. He looked at his feet in surprise, then grinned and said, "It's raining, so I'm not willing to wear new shoes, and I don't feel bad when old shoes are dirty. Still following."

The demeanor is calm, without the slightest embarrassment and restraint.

Fang Jun was completely convinced by this one, and he politely clasped his fists and said, "I haven't seen you in half a year, brother Sun is still handsome, and this Marquis is very relieved."

Sun Chengen laughed, cupped his fists in return and said: "Why, Lord Hou is afraid that the next official will starve to death if he can't afford to eat? Then you have to show kindness. You are the richest man in the world, and helping us, a poor man, just shows it off. The noble virtue of helping others."

Every time he sees this poor official, Fang Jun is always unexpectedly at ease. How many officials are there in the world who both work and stick to their duties?

He really admires it!

"I heard that Brother Sun's family has a high hall, and he is already eighty years old?"

"Exactly. Jia Yan passed away very early, and Sun doesn't even remember his appearance now. Since he was sensible, it was Jia Ci's tireless teaching that made Sun what he is today. Fortunately, although Sun is not a great talent , but he was able to keep his heart and work for the well-being of the people, and never let down the teachings of Jiaci. A few days ago, a certain man talked to Jiaci about how the benevolent government of Lord Hou would benefit the elders of Rudong County. Jiaci was very happy to hear that, and said yes I will burn a few more sticks of incense in front of the Bodhisattva, praying for a long life for Lord Hou, and for generations to come.”

Speaking of his old mother, Sun Chengen has a serious face, and his eyes are shining with warmth and affection, which shows his respect and admiration for his mother.

Fang Jun clasped his fists in return and said, "The old man's reputation is too high... I heard that Brother Sun is renovating a new house recently?"

Sun Chengen was surprised and said: "Master Hou also knows this?"

Fang Jun laughed and said, "Within a radius of [-] miles in the south of the Yangtze River, no one can hide any disturbance from my eyes and ears! The most honest and upright magistrate Sun Da built a new house. ?”

Sun Chengen is famous for his incorruptibility. He has been an official for several years and is still a breeze. The sudden construction of a new house even caused great repercussions.The folks are speculating whether the upright officials have also joined forces, otherwise where did the money come from?But the official circles are full of praise, big brother, you are finally willing to spend money, you are always so clean, we officials don't bother to say hello to people when we go out...

Sun Chengen thought Fang Jun was joking and didn't take it seriously.

Zhou Boxian listened to Fang Junfu's words, but his heart skipped a beat, thinking of his family's secret support for Zhang Liang.I'm afraid Fang Jun's remarks may not be joking, otherwise, how could the Zhou family have such a secretive behavior and the boat was seized by the navy when it was on the Wusong River, and "all the stolen goods" were seized?
It seems that Fang Jun's control over Jiangnan is much stronger than all the Jiangnan gentry imagined...

Fang Jun patted Sun Cheng'en on the shoulder, and said kindly: "Ben Hou got a batch of rosewood when he went to sea this time. Since Brother Sun is building a new house, he will give Brother Sun a few pieces of furniture to make a set of furniture, and welcome the honor of sending it to him." It’s also good-looking. Integrity is the best moral character, but don’t isolate yourself from the officialdom, otherwise it will be difficult to do anything, and the loss will not be worth the loss. In addition, this Hou asked someone to choose a few more good ones The sandalwood, I kept it for my aunt to make birthday materials."

Sun Chengen wanted to refuse.

He has a low-key and simple personality, and the new house is only renovated on the basis of the old house, and there are not many pieces in total. What's the matter with the rosewood furniture?Prestige is precious, but I am afraid that I will have to keep my eyes open when I sleep in the future, lest the thief will steal it in the middle of the night...

But when he heard that Fang Jun gave his mother birthday materials, he couldn't refuse.

People in this era are not shy about such things. The old people even choose what they like to wear when they die, so as not to rush and make mistakes when they die, and what the children choose may not be the same. I like.How depressing is it to find that the wearables are not what you usually like when you get down there?I can't help dreaming about my children every day, scolding these unworthy bastards...

Shoucai should be prepared early.

The best materials for longevity materials are sandalwood and nanmu, but these two kinds of wood are extremely precious, not only expensive, but also very rare, and cannot be bought with money.Sun Chengen is a filial son, he can refuse to enjoy himself, but he can't refuse to have a sandalwood coffin after his old mother dies.

Taking a deep breath, Sun Chengen tidied up his robes, and bowed solemnly to the ground: "If that's the case, I'll be ashamed to accept it."

Facing Fang Jun several times, he has never saluted so seriously...

Fang Jun accepted it calmly, and laughed: "Brother Sun came today, is there something wrong?"

Sun Chengen straightened his waist, took out an account book from his pocket, handed it to Fang Jun, and said, "Thanks to Lord Hou's benevolence, most fishermen in the county have borrowed money from the Royal Bank to buy fishing boats. During the season when sea fish grow fat, every household has a good harvest. Especially the net pulling machine designed by you, Lord Hou, it is simply not very easy to use! Now eight out of ten families in the county have set up a shrine for you, three o'clock five If you offer incense on the festival, they say that you are the Buddha of ten thousand families!"

Fang Jun was so complacent that he was no longer reserved, and said with a smile: "Everyone in Guanzhong said that we are Fang's last love, but now Jiangdong says that we are Huating Marquis of Wanjiashengfo! According to this, is it true that Marquis Ben will be able to do it someday?" To be in the class of immortals, to become immortals and Buddhas?"

The comfort in my heart is ten times more comfortable than when I was promoted and made a fortune!
There is nothing more fulfilling than helping those poor people live a better life...
