- Chapter 213 Worrying
When Fang Jie returned to Sanjin Houfu, the sky had already darkened. When the carriage stopped at the door, Fang Jie found that the Houfu was a little different from usual. The courtyard was brightly lit and people were coming and going, which was completely opposite to the usual silence and desolation. . Qilin looked at the yard and was startled for a moment, and couldn't help but ask: "What happened?"
Fang Jie thought for a while and said, "Nine times out of ten, the real owner of this courtyard is back."
Fang Jie guessed right. The reason why the servants in the yard were busy was precisely because Wu Yiyi, the Hou of Sanjin, came back from the northwest, not long after he entered the house. The servants were busy boiling water for him to take a bath, and also moved the things he brought back, which looked very lively. As soon as Fang Jie entered the door, he saw the fat man standing in the yard gesticulating and directing the servants to do things.
"Oh, isn't this Master Xiaofang? It's rude and rude not to be able to welcome you from a distance."
The drunken man came up to him with a smile.
Fang Jie rolled his eyes at him and said, "I paid the rent."
The drunken woman was startled, and then she remembered that Fang Jie and the others had been living in Sanjinhou Mansion. She blushed and said with a smile, "Didn't you forget to go out for a long time? Since you have paid the rent, we are naturally a family. Don¡¯t worry, I will take care of you until you feel at home.¡±
"You ran thousands of miles northwest and back, why didn't you lose weight?"
Fang explained the question.
Jiusecai smiled and said: "It took a lot of effort to gain weight. If I lose weight, wouldn't it mean that all the good things I ate before were wasted? I am the simplest person who doesn't want to waste things, so I ate really hard this time to maintain the results." Hard."
"The Marquis asked you to be your helper just to make him look more handsome, right?"
Fang Jie made a malicious guess.
The drunkard laughed and said, "No, no, no, the Marquis asked me to be his helper to show off that he is really rich."
Fang Jie burst into laughter and said, "Your name is really not for nothing. You are not angry. You are so good-tempered. I like you so much."
The drunken man's face turned red and he said, "Don't I still like girls more."
Fang Jie laughed loudly and asked as he walked inside: "Where is the Marquis?"
"I'm taking a bath. The Marquis has lost a lot of weight after this trip. But he is happy to be able to carry out the errands assigned by His Majesty smoothly. You have never seen such a huge team with such huge supplies. , our goods are shipped all over the world to the northwest. The fleet stretches for dozens of miles, and the masts are like forests. You don¡¯t know how proud I am to see this scene. Since ancient times, which trading company can have such strength? "
"Tens of millions of supplies and hundreds of thousands of troops were transported all over the world from various parts of the Sui Dynasty to the northwest. After they met on the Shandong Road, the spectacle was so spectacular that I will never forget it in my life. This moment also Let the world know about my ability to spread my goods all over the world, who wouldn¡¯t give me a thumbs up and say it¡¯s amazing?¡±
After hearing what he said, Fang Jie's expression visibly stiffened for a moment but he stopped joking: "Excuse me, if it is convenient for the Marquis to wash up, I would like to see him."
"You're welcome."
The drunkard smiled and said, "You paid the rent"
Fang Jie smiled, clasped his fists and left, his face becoming a little solemn. Shen Qingshan saw the difference in his expression and asked softly: "What? Did you think of something bad?"
Fang Jie slowly shook his head and said softly as he walked: "This time Huotong Tianxia has shown its strength. The people are shocked, and the court must also be shocked. A private trading company can have such strength. If it holds this The people in the family business have evil intentions Isn't it a serious problem for the court? I'm afraid that San Jinhou came back in such a hurry because someone in the court was targeting him. How could he be so unreserved? Showing all his strength? Even if it is His Majesty's will, he shouldn't do this Now that the war situation has been decided, the imperial court no longer needs goods to go all over the world, so the navy of the Sui Dynasty will naturally be used to transport troops and materials to the northwest. "
"Are you worried that the emperor will kill the donkey?"
Shen Qingfan asked.
Fang Jie nodded: "It's too big to transport goods all over the world Your Majesty's use of the merchant fleet to transport troops and food has already made many courtiers dissatisfied. But since your Majesty uses it to the Marquis, he will naturally be more interested in the court." Suppress the voices inside. Now that the war is a foregone conclusion, the emperor no longer needs to hide anything, and naturally there will be no need for goods to be circulated. If the voices in the court against the Marquis become louder, the emperor will not be able to do so. I will attack Mr. Hou."
"too big¡¡"
Fang Jie frowned and said, "The circulation of goods all over the world is so huge that it has already made people in the court uneasy."
Shen Qing fan said: "San Jinhou may not have thought of this. Since he can have today's wealth and status,, his city government's scheming must not be comparable to that of ordinary people. It is expected that he must have thought about it before the business bank went all out. "
"What I'm worried about is"
Fang Jie frowned, thinking of the little girl who was forced to leave Chang'an and return to Qingle Mountain because of certain things: "If the Marquis tried his best to help His Majesty with the affairs in the northwest, was it because of some threats?"
Shen Qingshan Bingxue was smart and immediately understood what Fang Jie meant: "Before San Jinhou went to the northwest, he sent his daughter to Qingle Mountain. Could it be that the emperor used his daughter to blackmail him? What if he didn't try his best to solve the problem in the northwest? Once that is done, he will bring his daughter into the palace For a little girl who is only fifteen or sixteen, entering the palace is nothing short of a disaster. "
"so¡¡"
Fang Jie said with some seriousness: "I'm worried that Mr. Hou is about to make some big decision."
"What decision?"
Shen Qingfan asked.
Fang Jie shook his head and said: "If you want to avoid disaster of course you can only dedicate all the goods from all over the world to Your Majesty! In this way, it is just like he donated tens of thousands of gold to repair the city wall, spending money to buy peace. Your Majesty forced him to do so at the beginning. He may not have this intention when it comes to matters in the northwest. If the Marquis wants to be safe, he can't leave the goods to the world! "
Shen Qingfan was startled, and then murmured: "What a vicious person who kills two birds with one stone"
¡¡
¡¡
A trading house has the power to affect a war, or even the foundation of a country. This is definitely not a good thing for the court. Huotongtianxiaxing did a really good job this time. Such a huge supply of materials for such a huge army could be safely transported to the northwest. You don't have to think carefully about it to be shocked by Huotongtianxiaxing's ability.
Fang Jie¡¯s worries are not without reason.
The adults in the imperial court would not allow a trading house to threaten the stability of the Sui Dynasty. Moreover, the reason why His Majesty chose to transport troops, food, and armor by transporting goods all over the world was to hide it from the adults in the court. The emperor trusts a businessman who is the owner of a trading company and does not trust the courtiers Will the courtiers feel happy? They can't do anything in front of the emperor, but they can do anything to Huotongtianxiaxing.
It is not difficult for a group of powerful adults to renovate a business.
"And if the affairs of the adults in the court against Wu Dao become more and more serious, His Majesty will naturally step in to appease him. Wu Yiyi has made great contributions to the Sui Dynasty. He first donated tens of thousands of gold to repair the city of Chang'an, and then tried his best to manage the affairs in the northwest. Your Majesty will not kill him easily He will definitely give Wu Yiyi a very appropriate reminder, then If you just want to save your life, you have to give up something.
The circulation of goods is big enough to make an emperor greedy. This is the most worrying thing.
Fang Jie didn¡¯t pay much attention to this matter at first, but now that he thought about it carefully, he realized how terrifying it was. Only then did I understand why Wu Yiyi hurriedly sent Wu Yinyu back to Jiangnan. He had already been arranging his retreat before going to the northwest, but Wu Yiyi also understood that as long as he was still in Sui Dynasty, he would have no way to resist the Supreme Being.
The emperor¡¯s words can take away half of his life¡¯s hard work.
When he thought of this, Fang Jie felt very sad. Wu Daodao was the person who helped him a lot after he arrived in Chang'an City. Fang Jie thought that he was not a good person but he had his own bottom line. Kindness was kindness. Let him stand by and watch He couldn't do it. When the fat man was talking about his trip to the northwest, Fang Jie immediately thought of the worst possibility, so he was anxious to see Wu Yiyi.
But he didn¡¯t know what he could do to help.
So, when he sat down face to face with Wu Yiyi, he didn't know how to speak. He really regarded the gentle man in front of him as an elder. Although Wu Yiyi always deliberately kept some distance and even cared about Fang Jie and the others having to pay rent when they lived in Sanjin Houfu, Fang Jie was indeed full of gratitude to him in his heart. When he first entered Chang'an City, without Wu Dao's help, he knew that he would never be in the situation he is now.
And when he thought about Wu Yiyi's fussing over everything, he understood something again. The reason why Wu Yiyi was so clear about many small matters was that he was not deliberately trying to distance himself from Fang Jie? If something really happened to Wu Yiyi, Fang Jie would be living in Sanjin Houfu, so it would be unclear what the relationship was. When the time comes, Wu Yiyi will be able to kick Fang Jie out of the game by simply saying that this is just business. If this is the case, it can only mean that when Fang Jie first met Wu Yiyi, Wu Yiyi already knew what kind of situation he was going to face.
Therefore, Fang Jie felt even more sad.
No matter what the purpose of Wu Yiyi¡¯s help to him, it was sincere, even in many cases.?I have considered helping him escape before With such wisdom and foresight, I am afraid that few people can match him.
But even so, he couldn't escape His Majesty's grasp. Because this is the Great Sui Dynasty, and His Majesty is a god in the Great Sui Dynasty!
"If you have anything to say, just say it. Why are you so coy after we haven't seen each other for less than a year?"
Wu Yiyi said with a smile while eating. He seemed to have a great appetite. Although there were only some light side dishes on the table and no wine, and he was holding a bowl of white rice in his hand, he ate it with relish and it was very sweet.
Fang Jie took a deep breath and decided not to test anything.
"The goods are flowing all over the world, is it impossible to keep it?"
He sat up straight, looked into Wu Daodao's eyes and asked.
Wu Yiyi stretched out his hand to pick up vegetables and stopped in mid-air, then shook his head and said: "It has nothing to do with you But starting from tomorrow, you'd better live back in your own shop."
He pointed at a wooden box on the table with the tip of his chopsticks and said: "Here is the title deed for the shop you rented. Take it. I don't have many things to give you. This house can at least give you a place to stay." The place."
Fang Jie¡¯s nose felt sour: ¡°It¡¯s irreversible?¡±
Wu Daodao smiled and said: "I'm surprised that you can guess so much. It's true to the old saying, you should treat each other with admiration after three days apart. You are much smarter now than when you first entered Chang'an City. But you're not smart enough. Some things you see may not be true, and some things you think you see clearly are actually just the tip of the iceberg. The Chang'an City you see now is definitely different from the Chang'an City you saw when you first arrived. It¡¯s the same, but you still don¡¯t see enough of it.¡±
He talked while eating, and soon finished the bowl of white rice. Fang Jie stretched out his hand to serve him another bowl. However, Wu Daodao ate the last grain of rice and put down the bowl and chopsticks: "If you don't want to eat, it's enough to eat only seven percent of the rice. Don't do anything too full, otherwise there will be no way out."
"Have you been approaching Prince Yi recently?"
he asks.
Fang Jie was silent for a while, then nodded.
"Your Majesty's will?"
He asked again.
Fang Jie obviously didn¡¯t expect Wu Yiyi to be able to see through it at a glance. His expression changed and he nodded again.
Wu Yiyi smiled and said: "You don't need to worry about my affairs. If I can't bear it, you won't be able to help me. The reason why I gave the shop to you is because I thought that if I lose everything in the future, I can still do it." I have a place to stay. Of course, if you don¡¯t take me in then, there¡¯s nothing I can do about it But, how can those who want me to bow down easily get their wish?¡±
He said in a gentle tone: "As for you, as I said just now, don't do anything too full. There is no way out if you are too full. Your Majesty entrusts you with this matter because he trusts you, but you yourself are not important. Do you understand? Why? Success in anything is not the first goal, but not dying in it.¡±
Fang Jie nodded: "I understand."
Wu Yiyi hummed, stood up and said, "Go out for a walk and chat while walking."
Fang Jie followed Wu Yiyi out of the room. He looked like he was a student or nephew of Wu Yiyi. When two people walk together, it's as natural as a family. - Didn't finish reading?
