- "Cough cough cough"
A burly man and a skinny boy looked at each other from time to time. A gust of night wind blew, and the skinny boy coughed a few times in the cold wind.
Seeing that the young man was coughing badly, the sturdy man advised: "The prince doesn't know when he will come back yet, why don't we go back first, lest the night wind blows too much and your condition gets worse."
The young man shook his head and said: "Since we are already here, let's wait a little longer."
The sturdy man looked at the street corner and said: "The prince just returned home yesterday, and today he went to reward the three armies. There is no doubt that there will be another banquet in the evening. We might as well wait for him tomorrow morning. As long as he leaves the palace, we can intercept him and wait for a few months. No need to rush on this day.¡±
The young man looked at the big man and said, "Brother, do you still have money for tonight's hotel?"
The big man was stunned for a moment, and then said awkwardly: "We have lived in Liu's store for a few months. Let's go back and talk to the store owner. We can use him for one more night and pay him the rent later. There should be no problem."
The young man shook his head and said: "Brother is such a hero. He has endured so much humiliation for my little brother in the past few months. He even pawned his sword. How can I let my brother suffer the anger of such a shameless person again? Those people only recognize money and goods." We ran out of rent a few days ago and kicked us out many times. Now he will definitely ridicule us when we go back, and he may not let us live there. It¡¯s better to suffer the consequences here. "
Seeing what the young man said, the big man couldn't persuade him anymore, so he could only shake his head sadly. They were so prosperous a few months ago, but they don't want to be in such a miserable state now.
The young man looked at the big man, but he was filled with gratitude.
His brother came from a wealthy family, but in the past few months, he had pawned his sword for him, worked as a porter at the dock, and scrimped on food and clothing in order to hire a doctor for him. His clothes were worn out from carrying things. Now he is wearing a shabby vest. Most poor people dress like this in summer, but it's already August, and it's the Mid-Autumn Festival in a blink of an eye. The weather has already turned cold, and there aren't many people in Tokyo dressed like this.
The two were not brothers originally, but in the past few months, the big man treated the young man as a brother, and he changed his tune. People who didn't know about it thought that the two should be brothers.
Chao Yong and Ren Jinnu ignited two wars in the ticket office, and chatted for a while in the office. When the ticket number was issued, it was already dark.
Ren Jinnu snuggled into Chao Yong's arms and said: "The profit from the ticket account has made many people jealous. A few days ago, someone asked me through my father whether I could issue a ticket number. I said I would wait for the prince to come back and give them a reply. I don't know what the prince thought. ?¡±
Chao Yong smiled and said: "Okay. This is their temptation, but they cannot absorb people's deposits, otherwise if something happens to them, the people's hard-earned money will be wasted."
Ren Jinnu patted Chao Yong lightly and said with a smile: "The prince is good or bad, they just focus on attracting people's deposits, otherwise there is no need to open a bill number. Just lend directly. The court does not prohibit private lending."
When Chao Yong first opened the ticket number, he also understood the laws of the previous dynasties. Private lending was allowed in all dynasties, but the interest rate was limited. In the early Tang Dynasty, the court stipulated that the monthly interest rate should not exceed six cents. That is 6%. At the end of the Tang Dynasty, interest was further restricted, and the monthly interest rate was changed to no more than 4%. The Song Dynasty followed the regulations of the late Tang Dynasty, which stipulated that the monthly interest rate should not exceed four points.
Of course, these are all decrees of the imperial court. Usury is still rampant among the private sector. Because most of the time people borrow money for emergencies, there is not much room for bargaining.
Chao Yong said seriously: "This is not my fault. Even if I agree, the court will not agree."
Ren Jinnu smiled and said, "Even if the court agrees, you won't agree."
Chao Yong grabbed Ren Jinnu's perky breasts and rubbed them hard, and said with a smile: "Smart, this is the royal business, how can we let them interfere. And we have exempted the world from agricultural taxes and corvee, we can't let the royal family Help them govern the world without eating or drinking."
Ren Jinnu was stunned for a moment, then bravely said: "Who are they? Isn't this world royal?"
Chao Yong smiled and said: "No, this world belongs to the people of the world, and the emperor only helps them maintain order. If the emperor does a good job and allows the people to live and work in peace and contentment, his descendants can continue to sit in that position. If he does If it is not good, the people of the world will be miserable, and the throne will have to be replaced. This is not the case every time there is a change of dynasty. Who really thinks that he is the emperor and does not regard the people of the world as a human being? The people of the world will rebel and overthrow him, so It is said that the most powerful people in the world are the people, and the emperor only governs the world for them. To put it bluntly, the emperor is a public servant, and he is a person who serves the public. If anyone forgets their identity and goes too far, the public will give him a slap in the face and let him know his identity. Zhao Ji now knows his fault, but he has no chance to be the first public servant. Although he is the first public servant, this position is still very important.in great demand. Hahaha"
Ren Jinnu looked at Chao Yong blankly for a long time before saying: "This is the first time that the Nu family has heard this statement. What the prince said makes sense, but it seems to be different from my past understanding."
The word ¡°public servant¡± comes from King Frederick II of Prussia, known historically as Frederick the Great. He once said: "I am the first public servant of this country." During the reign of Frederick the Great, he always used this sentence as his motto and carried out a series of reforms in Prussia, which made Prussia better in the following decades. It became a country that cannot be underestimated in Europe and laid the foundation for the subsequent unification of Germany.
Chao Yong smiled and said: "Water can carry a boat, but it can also overturn it. Sage Kong once said it, and Emperor Taizong Li Shimin also said it. In fact, many people know this, but they can't shame it and refuse to admit it. I want to say that I am the emperor, divide the people of the world into three, six or nine grades, compile a clan history, and rank myself first. I don't have their talent, and I can't explain the relationship between water and boat, so I have to use master and servant. Come on."
Ren Jinnu was already impressed by Chao Yong. He huddled in Chao Yong's arms like a kitten and said softly: "The prince is the most intelligent person in the world. In my eyes, both Saint Kong and Li Shimin are not as good as the prince. Even if they say that, If you say that, you can't exempt agricultural taxes and corvee, let alone the idea of ????this ticket number. Daliang is so good to the people of the world, and the people of the world will definitely support the royal family, and Daliang will definitely be passed down."
Chao Yong smiled and said: "I don't know who is smart, but my fists are definitely bigger than theirs. Only fists can spread the truth. Of course, times are different, and the power of the Tang Dynasty's powerful families is much greater than it is now."
Ren Jinnu said: "Even if the prince comes to the Tang Dynasty, I believe that the prince will do better than Li Shimin."
Chao Yong was stunned for a moment. Seeing Ren Jinnu looking at him infatuatedly, he was sure that she didn't know about his time travel. If he was allowed to live until the end of the Sui Dynasty, he might not be able to defeat Li Shimin.
"who?"
"Shi Bao and Fang Jie from Jiangnan ask to see the prince."
"Cough cough cough"
Today, Xiao Wen Hou Lu Fang, who was on duty today, looked at the two people who suddenly approached the convoy on the side of the road, a tall man and a thin boy. The young man seemed to be sick and started coughing when the night wind blew.
The young Marquis of Wen, Lu Fang, did not dare to be careless and stared at the two of them. He signaled to the soldiers next to him to report.
Before the soldiers arrived, Chao Yong had already opened the curtain in front of the carriage, jumped out of the carriage, and strode over.
Although Shi Bao and Fang Jie were still some distance away from the carriage, Chao Yong listened to the conversation between Lu Fang and Shi Bao.
Chao Yong has recognized Fang Jie. Before he arrived, he couldn't help but said: "Hundred flowers are here?"
"Cough cough cough"
Speaking of Fang Baihua, Fang Jie couldn't help but his eyes turned red, and he started coughing again when he got excited.
Shi Bao seemed to think it was more appropriate for Fang Jie to break the news, so he didn't say anything.
When Chao Yong saw Fang Jie¡¯s appearance, he strode towards Fang Jie. He grabbed Fang Jie's arm and said, "Is she sick?"
Fang Jie felt as if his arm was being clamped by iron pliers, but the pain was incomparable to the pain in his heart. He closed his eyes and said in pain: "Auntie is dead."
"What?"
Chao Yong glared at Fang Jie. The strength in his hands couldn't help but become a little stronger.
Shi Bao next to him heard Fang Jie's bones cracking as he was being pinched, or Chao Yong's finger joints snapping. In short, Shi Bao heard the sound of bones and hurriedly said: "Fang Jie is sick. The prince's men Show mercy.¡±
Chao Yong turned to glare at Shi Bao and said, "Isn't Baihua sick?"
Shi Bao saw Chao Yong¡¯s eyes as if he wanted to choose someone to devour. I couldn't help but take a step back, but I could only say: "The holy aunt has passed away."
Chao Yong felt as if he was struck by five thunders, and unconsciously let go of Fang Jie with both hands, and he swayed before standing still.
The prince¡¯s soldiers behind saw the prince shaking, who was motionless in the face of thousands of troops, and hurriedly gathered around him. They were about to reach out to support the prince, but the prince had already stood firm, as if the previous scene was just an illusion. But Lu Fang could see that the prince's straight back was bent a little. It was obvious that the prince had indeed shaken just now. This news was a big blow to the prince.
Chao Yong murmured: "Didn't you send me a letter earlier, saying that you had broken out of the encirclement and joined Lu Shinang? All the Western troops have returned to Shaanxi, and there is only one eunuch named Tong Guan left in the south of the Yangtze River. Is it possible that he can still harm him? Kill you? I was careless. I thought that even if you couldn't avenge Fang La, your life would not be in danger, so I didn't expect that I would kill you. Don't worry, I will send troops to help you. You take revenge."
Fang Jie was deeply moved when he saw Chao Yong lost his mind and said to himself.Auntie is infatuated with Chao Yong.
"It wasn't Tong Guan who killed my aunt, it was Lu Shinang who killed my aunt."
The truth woke up Chao Yong like a thunderbolt. Chao Yong opened his eyes, looked at Fang Jie and said, "Lu Shinang?"
Fang Jie nodded and said: "After breaking out from Bangyuan Cave, my aunt and I joined Lu Shinang. We originally wanted to avenge Shenggong and the others, but Tong Guan, the eunuch, blocked the wall and cleared the country. The army could not get food and grass, and could not attack Huzhou. So we had to He turned south and captured Wenzhou, but then his aunt and Lu Shinang had a disagreement. His aunt advocated leading troops north to attack Tong Guan, but Lu Shinang wanted to go south to attack Fujian Road and seize more while there was no rescue from the state capitals. Aunt Yuan has made an agreement with Lu Shinang to send people to Huzhou to spread the news that the Xixia people have invaded Shaanxi and are plundering Shaanxi, hoping to alienate the 20,000 soldiers around Tong Guan. If this strategy works, I led my troops north to attack Huzhou. If this strategy didn't work, I led my troops south to attack Fujian Road. But I didn't expect that Lu Shinang had evil intentions. That day, my aunt and I were practicing martial arts in the city, and Lu Shinang's confidant Shen Gang suddenly came. It was said that the prince sent a man to deliver a message to his aunt, and he was shot by a Song Dynasty officer. He was dying outside the city and could not move. When my aunt heard that the prince sent someone to deliver a letter, she came out of the city with me immediately. Unexpectedly, this was Shen Gang's trick. He had already ambushed archers on both sides of the mountain and wanted to kill us. Fortunately, brother Shi Bao broke out from Bangyuan Cave and came to Wenzhou to meet us. He felt strange when he saw the archers watching. When the people they wanted to shoot were my aunt and I, they scattered the archers, but there were too many archers, and my aunt was unfortunately shot in the center.¡±
Chao Yong thought for a moment and guessed Lu Shinang's motives, and said painfully: "I sent someone to pick you up before, but you rejected me and wanted to fight against the Song army with your brother. Your brother is dead. , you want to avenge your brother again. But without your brother, how can others be willing to let you take command? "
Fang Jie said: "My aunt said it before she died. She came to you after she came to avenge the Holy Duke."
Chao Yong said: "If she comes to me, I will help her take revenge. Is it different if I help her kill Tong Guan and the Manichaeans help her kill Tong Guan?"
Yuan Chao Yong just said it casually. But after this idea came up, Chao Yong thought of many things.
Fang Jie hurriedly said: "My aunt believes in the prince. My aunt just wants to use Manichaean people to avenge the Holy Duke."
Chao Yong shook his head and said: "Perhaps she also wanted to fight for something more for Manichaeism, but she didn't expect that she would die in the hands of Manichaeism in the end."
It is difficult for Fang Jie to answer this question. If Manichaeism really conquers Huzhou, it is likely to sweep Jiangnan again. By then Manichaeism had occupied the south of the Yangtze River, even if Daliang destroyed Xixia. After unifying the north, could Manichaeism still be willing to hand over Jiangnan to Daliang? I'm afraid everyone will think of fighting across the river with Daliang.
Fang Jie didn¡¯t speak, and Shi Bao couldn¡¯t speak.
Chao Yong understood a little bit when Fang Jie didn't speak. Said: "Did Baihua's strategy work?"
Speaking of this, Fang Jie gritted his teeth. When they went north, they heard that many of Huzhou Tong Guan's soldiers had fled. Tong Guan closed the city gate. He wanted to prevent his soldiers from escaping, but his soldiers mutinied. Huzhou was almost burned down, but in the end Tong Guan had to have the city gates opened and let the soldiers who were going back to Shaanxi out of the city. At the same time, he greatly increased their wages to retain some soldiers. Although I don't know how many of Tong Guan's soldiers have left, there are obviously many who can force Tong Guan to open the door.
In other words, Fang Baihua's original strategy was successful. If he followed Fang Baihua's strategy and went north, the Manichaean army would probably capture Huzhou and kill Tong Guan. Even if Tong Guan ran away, the Manichaean army would definitely be strong and might sweep across Jiangnan again.
It¡¯s just that Lu Shinang didn¡¯t wait for this strategy to work after all, so he killed him ruthlessly. When the news of the Huzhou mutiny reached Lu Shinang's ears, he had already led his troops south to Fujian Road. He missed the best time to go north. Moreover, he did not have enough food and grass and was unwilling to risk going north again, so he lost A chance for Manichaeism to make a comeback.
Fang Jie smiled bitterly and said: "It worked. Tong Guan's soldiers dispersed a lot. There was even a mutiny in Huzhou, and Tong Guan was forced to allow the soldiers to return home."
Chao Yong knew that Fang Baihua was a woman, and he also knew that Fang Baihua was smart, but he didn't expect that Fang Baihua was so smart. Perhaps Fang Baihua's intention was to go north to capture Tong Guan and avenge his family, but it is undeniable that if Fang Baihua really led the Manichaeans to conquer Huzhou and sweep across Jiangnan. Chao Yong will be in a dilemma. Daliang has strong soldiers and horses, and has the ability to dominate the world. It is difficult to accept the rule by dividing the river. But Fang Baihua was his beloved woman.
There are many women in the uterus of the Crown Prince, but Chao Yong only likes them for their beauty and talents, and there is no relationship between them. Of course there may be feelings in the future, but not now.
The only woman Chao Yong has feelings for is the woman before he took over Tokyo. One is Hu Sanniang. The two of them have been together the longest and have the most feelings for each other. The other one is Fang Baihua. Although the two have not been together for a long time, they have many good memories. In Chao Yong's heart, Fang Baihua's status is not even lower than that of Hu Sanniang.
If it really develops to the point where Daliang and Mani meet each other, there is no doubt that even if Fang Baihua has gone north to become Chao Yong's concubine, Fang Baihua will definitely have trouble with Chao Yong because of his daring love and hate temper. Turns out, although they won't draw swords against each other, the old feelings will definitely no longer exist.
"Maybe God doesn't want to ruin this beautiful relationship."
Chao Yong just had this thought cross his mind and immediately shook his head in denial. Lu Shinang had no choice but to not adopt Fang Baihua's strategy, but he should not kill Fang Baihua.
Chao Yong looked at the south and said: "Baihua, don't worry, I will definitely avenge you. Not only Lu Shinang, but also Manichaeism, all the religions in the world, I want them to be buried with you."
Fang Jie was shocked when he heard that Chao Yong was venting his anger on Manichaeism, and hurriedly said: "My aunt and I are both Manichaeism, and we ask the prince to let Manichaeism go."
Chao Yong looked at Fang Jie and said, "If it weren't for Manichaeism, Baihua would have returned to me long ago. Religions in the world are all deceiving people. To put it bluntly, they are all confusing the stupid people. Even smart people will not believe it. Otherwise, Master Lu Nang wouldn¡¯t dare to kill the Holy Aunt. Do you believe in the Messenger of Light?¡±
Fang Jie and Shi Bao are both Jianghu people. They believe in force and know all the ways to deceive people in Jianghu, but they do not believe in ghosts and gods. Manichaeism has some good teachings, but if you ask them to say that they are messengers of light, they can't say it.
Chao Yong said: "I am the god of heaven descending to earth, and there are not so many gods in the sky. Religions in this world may defraud people of money, or incite people to cause rebellion. I want them to be buried with hundreds of flowers. If you believe in me, follow me."
After saying that, Chao Yong turned around and walked towards the carriage. - Didn't finish reading? Add this book to your favoritesI'm a member and bookmarked this chapterCopy the address of this book and recommend it to your friends for pointsChapter error? Click here to report
