Fang Jie stayed at Sanjin Houfu for the whole afternoon. Wu Daodao caught thirteen fat carps by the small lotus pond, so Fang Jie was even more reluctant to leave, because Wu Daodao was chatting while chatting. He proudly said that his best skill is making a whole fish feast.
Fang Jie is not a greedy man. The reason why he stayed is because he still needs to listen to Wu Daodao to explain many things. Only today did Fang Jie realize that he still knew almost nothing about the big city of Chang'an. He thought he had figured out a lot of things, but the longer he lived in Chang'an, the more ignorant he felt.
Wu Daodao did not feel any disgust at this young man who refused to leave even when it was almost dark. On the contrary, he liked this guy's greed very much. In his own words, he has a good temper.
¡°Want to have a whole fish feast?¡±
He asked with a smile.
Fang Jie shook his head and said seriously: "It is better to teach a man to fish than to teach him to fish."
Wu Daodao waved his hands repeatedly and said: "I have no intention of giving you fish. Naturally, I don't have any means to give it to you But when you eat, you have to drink, and when you drink, you have to talk and brag. Some old sesame seeds and rotten millet things are fine. Let me tell you, I¡¯m bored anyway.¡±
"The more, the merrier"
Fang explained four words.
"You are greedy."
Wu Dao pointed at Fang Jie and said with a smile: "I haven't seen a guy as greedy as you in many years But I like people to be greedy. Since I started doing business, I have understood a truth. In this world, people are motivated The most powerful reason for continuous growth and progress is greed. If a person loses greed, what else can make him full of strength?
"Love, justice, maintaining the peace of the world, protecting the homeland, etc. are also the reasons."
Fang Jie replied rudely.
"Get out of here"
Wu Yiyi laughed and cursed.
"I won't go away"
Fang Jie sat down by the lotus pond, picked up the pebbles at his feet and threw them into the pond one by one. This shocked many fish and caused ripples in the originally peaceful lotus pond. He suddenly remembered that when he was a child in his previous life, there was a small pond behind his house. His favorite thing after school was to stand by the pond and hit the water with stones. It seems that childhood in this life has never had such simple and satisfying fun.
Wu Yiyi picked up the fish basket and waved it to the servant, asking him to pack the fish away. He walked to the couch and lay down, looking at the setting sun and sighing: "You just threw the pebble into the lotus pond, and your peace was broken. For example, you are the pebble, and the lotus pond is the whole lotus pond." Chang'an City Compared to the lotus pond, your pebble is insignificant. But who knows when a pebble can stir up a pond of spring water?"
He glanced at Fang Jie and said: "You have now caused ripples in the imperial capital. Think about it carefully, because you, a little person from a border town, can actually rely on the splash of falling water. , it¡¯s really a strange thing to shake up all the big shots in the court.¡±
Fang Jie didn¡¯t quite understand what Wu Daodao meant: ¡°I didn¡¯t think I was that capable.¡±
"You have no ability?"
Wu Yidao rolled his eyes at him and said, "Do you know how much trouble has arisen in the court since you entered Chang'an City? Let's start with when you left Fan Gu. The inspectors from the Ministry of War and Dali Temple were killed because of you. Die, right? Wu Peisheng, the eunuch of the imperial study, died because of you, right?"
"Without this incident, would Li Yuanshan and Li Xiaozong do such a big evil thing? If they didn't do evil and didn't spend money to win over people from the Qing Yamen and the Ministry of War. Would Gao Tianbao, a thousand households in the Qing Yamen, die? Ouchi Guards Department Will the deputy commander Meng Wudi become one-armed? After Gao Tianbao died, his body was transported to Chang'an City and buried under the doorstep, where he could be trampled on. If it hadn't been for this incident, the Ministry of War would never be able to stand up again. Will the minister, Hou Junci, and those dozen officials be beheaded in anger?"
"Going further, after you arrived in the imperial capital, Yingjiu, a member of the Ministry of War, wanted to kill you and tricked you into the martial arts field. Then you met Luo Wen Because of you, Luo Wen won the first place in the martial arts academy, and he was also the right one. Because of this, he wanted to get rid of you, so Yingjiu and Luo Wen's people attacked at the same time that night. The result was that Yingjiu was executed, and Yu Donglai, the Minister of War, struggled to maintain his position. I had to take the blame and resign.¡±
"It's because of you that Hou Wenji went to see Luo Wen in private. As for what he talked about with Luo Wen and what he wanted to do, there is no way of knowing. But it was precisely because of the incident at Ke Shengju that His Majesty was affected. You are so close that Hou Wenji couldn't hide it even if he wanted to! Maybe you don't know yet After you left Keshengju, the border troops were full of praise for you!, faintly, you have become the leader of the border army. "
After hearing what Wu Yiyi said, Fang Jie¡¯s first reaction was: ¡°How do you know so many things?¡±
Wu Daodao first pointed to his eyes and mouth: "Because I stand at a high position, I can see far more things than ordinary people. And I like to inquire about strange things, so I can ask Got a lot of news"
He pointed to his head again and said: "If you think about what you see and ask, you can infer a lot of things."
"Why do you pay special attention to me?"
Fang explained the question.
Wu Daodao thought for a while and replied: "Because you have made the imperial capital uneasy. Besides, I am not the only one paying attention to you?"
Fang Jie shook his head slightly and said: "If possible, I would rather do what Longyou Li Fubo did when he entered the martial arts academy. No one paid attention to him when he entered. This will save a lot of trouble."
"You can't even lower your profile and enter the martial arts academy now."
Wu Daodao smiled and said: "There are many people who have made it clear that they want to hit you in the face. They rounded their arms and hit you with all their strength. If your face is swollen and you still don't feel relieved, it's best to knock out all your teeth." If you want to show some low profile, it is equivalent to sticking your face out and letting others hit you."
¡°I haven¡¯t discovered that I have any extraordinary ability until now.¡±
¡°You have to carry it even if you don¡¯t have the ability.¡±
Wu Daodao was silent for a while and said: "After you passed out in Keshengju, His Majesty said something to the border troops His Majesty said that he is the backstage of all the border troops, and you don't need to be afraid of anyone. There are more than a few famous families in the world. There are hundreds of families, but none can be said to be bigger than the Royal Family. Are you a frontier soldier?"
"yes!"
"Then what are you afraid of? You should think carefully about how to save face for His Majesty. By the way, it would be better to bring back the atmosphere of the Yanwu Academy. You must know that when Taizu established the Yanwu Academy, the Yanwu Academy was not a It was controlled by the children of the aristocratic family. Most of the first batch of people who entered the Yanwu Academy were veterans under Taizu's command. Although there were no outstanding figures, the atmosphere of the Yanwu Academy was very good. The Sui Dynasty is becoming more and more stable, and the atmosphere of the Yanwu Academy is becoming more and more worrying. "
"Fortunately"
Wu Yiyi smiled and said: "Your Majesty plans to change, you have caught up with a good time."
¡¡

After dark, the bustle in the streets and alleys of Chang'an City gradually subsided. Although places like restaurants and brothels are still doing brisk business, the streets have become deserted. Fang Jie listened to Wu Daoyi in Sanjinhou's mansion talking about old things about so-called sesame seeds and rotten millet. In fact, they were all overtly and covertly instructing him on how to deal with the turmoil in Chang'an City.
Wu Yiyi didn¡¯t give Fang any solution, he just told him that you had no way out. Moreover, it happens to come at the best time for soldiers. Fang Jie had no way of knowing how many high-level secrets the richest man in the Sui Dynasty had access to, and he could only vaguely speculate that Wu Daodao's true status might be more important than many officials in the imperial court.
In fact, he was right.
Wu Yiyi knew more secrets than most officials in the imperial court. For example, the terrifying war that His Majesty is secretly planning. In the dome of Changchun Garden, the emperor told Yang Kai, Prince of Xu County, that he had secretly mobilized the grain from seven granaries north of the river to be transported to the northwest, and had also transported enough weapons and armor to equip hundreds of thousands of troops from three palaces. . These things add up to a huge batch of materials. How difficult is it to transport them secretly? How can we hide it from others?
If the imperial court wants to adjust its fortunes, it must mobilize its troops and mobilize its troops. Even a blind person would be able to hear such a loud noise, not to mention that the people in the court were all smarter than monkeys.
Without using the power of the imperial court, who else in the world can be so generous in transporting supplies for His Majesty?
Of course it¡¯s Wu Yiyi, the world-famous man!
With the strength of Huotongtianxiaxing, although it is a little difficult to do this big thing for His Majesty, it is definitely the best choice. By the time people noticed Huotongtianxiaxing's unusual behavior, it was already too late, and the large amount of grain and grass supplies had almost been Sent to the northwest of the empire. Because no one would have thought that His Majesty would hand over such a big matter to a trading firm!
The most important thing is to mobilize troops.
¡°Except for the imperial navy, only the world-wide cargo fleet can secretly transport such a large number of people to the northwest.
Wu Yiyi¡¯s status was much higher than Fang Jie had guessed.
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? A businessman can be made a Marquis by His Majesty, and can make his business available to the world, no one can find out the secret behind this. But what is certain is that without the support of the emperor, how could Wu Daodao's trading firm be able to survive?To achieve such a huge scale? If Wu Yiyi had not done many things secretly for the emperor, how could he have monopolized so much business?
¡°It¡¯s scary when a businessman¡¯s identity is preceded by an official character.
In Sanjin Houfu, Wu Yiyi seemed to be generous with his time. He seemed to be happy to talk to and get along with this little person who logically had no chance of establishing a relationship with him. Although as he said himself, he would never invest any amount of money for Fang Jie and could only tell him some news and tell some truths, but for Fang Jie, this was undoubtedly the greatest help to him.
A wild boy from a remote country lacks many things if he wants to gain a foothold in a big city like Chang'an. Fang Jie was like a hungry greedy ghost, constantly eating, trying to fill his stomach. Even if he couldn't fill his stomach, he would eat as much as he could.
Nan Twelve is a very ordinary street. Such a street is as insignificant as a capillary in Chang'an City, a hundred miles away. If you wander around Chang'an City casually for half a day, you can walk at least a dozen or twenty ordinary streets.
The most famous place in Nanshitiao is an inn called Guipeng Inn. It is said that when Emperor Shun of the Sui Dynasty, the grandfather of the current emperor, was still on the throne, a man from the south lived here. He studied hard all day long and only drank a bowl of porridge and some pickled vegetables given away by the store for each meal. . Although I am not starving to death and cannot afford to pay for my house, my life is indeed very shabby.
But just such a person became the first number one scholar from a poor family in the history of the Sui Dynasty.
This scholar became a blockbuster. When he was selected as the number one scholar by Emperor Shun in the palace examination, the whole civil and military court was astonished. Of course, because of this, the reputation of Guipeng Inn immediately became louder. So much so that later on, even wealthy people who came to Beijing to take the exam would stay here for a while to soak up their good fortune.
The first number one scholar from a poor family in the Sui Dynasty was called Huai Renli. Not many people remember this name because he later changed his name to Huai Qiugong, which was too loud.
It was getting very late, and the boy at Guipeng Inn was sitting by the counter and taking a nap. Because it wasn't closing time yet, and at this hour there were very few people coming to shop, so he was a little bored. While he was drifting off to sleep, he suddenly heard some noise that startled him. He rubbed his sleepy eyes and looked over, subconsciously asking: "Is your guest staying in the hotel?"
At some point a man came into the inn. He was dressed strangely and looked cold and arrogant. He ignored the boy's questions.
The boy looked at it carefully and immediately opened his mouth in surprise. If anyone is willing to try it, he will definitely be able to stuff an apple into his mouth.
The person standing in the room is a middle-aged man who looks to be about forty years old, with a tall and tall figure. He has a wide forehead, glaring eyebrows, a high nose, and a face as sharp and angular as a chisel. The most eye-catching thing is the clothes on his body, which are clothes that ordinary people will never and cannot wear.
The bright red Taoist robe has many complicated patterns embroidered with gold thread. You can't see clearly where you start or where you're going. You can't see the end if you follow any of the lines. The pattern of all the lines is so complicated that it makes people have a headache.
The great red-robed priest!
I have an ancestor!
The little guy suddenly woke up and almost shouted in surprise!
"I am coming"
The red-robed high priest raised his head and looked at a room on the second floor of the inn, and said three words in a calm tone.
