Chapter 214: This is Tuogu
Wu Yiyi walked in front, and Fang Jie followed half a step behind. The two of them walked slowly, one behind the other, into the small garden of Sanjin Houfu. Fang Jie took a splash by the lotus pond in the garden. Wu Yinyu was pissed and angry. It seems like it was yesterday, but after thinking about it, I remember that it has been almost a year since Wu Yinyu went to Jiangnan.
Wu Yiyi sat down by the lotus pond. The pond looked a little bleak in the night. Fang Jie did not sit down, but stood at the edge of the pool with his hands behind his back. For some reason, Fang Jie suddenly felt a strange feeling. It has been more than a year since he entered Chang'an City, but he has not fully understood even the Sanjin Houfu.
"The matter entrusted to you by His Majesty is not easy to handle."
Wu Daodao pondered for a while and said slowly: "To put it bluntly, no matter how much problems there are between the emperor and Prince Yi, they are brothers after all. Since Your Majesty had graciously allowed Prince Yi to live in Chang'an City for a long time, it shows that Your Majesty has a deep love for you. He still has feelings. Now His Majesty asks you to approach Prince Yi because he wants to see what Prince Yi is thinking. Remember one thing no matter what you find, report it truthfully, but don't make any comments. Because you are not qualified."
Fang Jie nodded and said: "I know, no matter how big the fault is, if Prince Yi kneels at the emperor's feet and cries loudly, your majesty will become soft-hearted and think that nothing happened, and I will no longer be a human being."
¡°That¡¯s the truth, but it¡¯s not comprehensive.¡±
Wu Daodao said: "If you can't get involved in royal affairs, don't get involved. Although you seem to be in a good position now, you are still far away from the court. The emperor gave you a right servant, this thing is something that a child born from a noble family will do as soon as he is born. Yes, it's not an honor to be on the stage. The emperor seems to rely on you now, but it's actually because you are still a nobody. Let me say something that shouldn't be said It would be easier to say that Prince Yi committed an unforgivable crime. Because of this, you can officially establish yourself in the imperial court. If Prince Keyi made a small mistake you will definitely die."
"If you die, you will have no impact on the court or the country at all."
Fang Jie snorted: "I understand this. If I can refuse, I won't wade into this muddy water."
"It's not a good thing, and it's not necessarily a completely bad thing. It depends on how you choose to get wealth and wealth from danger."
Wu Yiyi smiled and said: "You are quite smart, but don't be conceited. Prince Yi's foundation in Chang'an City is by no means as superficial as you see. It's not just in Chang'an City, there are some things I shouldn¡¯t tell you, but since you are on such an errand, I will say a few words.¡±
"Prince Yi's hand can reach far. Far further than you can imagine."
He said.
Fang Jie was silent for a while and asked: "For example Northwest?"
Wu Daodao nodded: "If I am not wrong, does your Majesty ask you Prince Cha Yi just to get involved in the military power in the northwest? If that is the case, your Majesty is nothing more than beating. I tell you this, if Prince Yi It is definitely not difficult to make the current situation in the northwest more chaotic, but he still abides by the general rules, and it is not easy for Your Majesty to touch him After all, the Queen Mother is still there, and after Prince Zhong disappeared, Prince Yi was the youngest in front of the Queen Mother. 's son."
Fang Jie sighed: "Mother will always show more favoritism to her youngest son."
Wu Daodao smiled and said: "That's the truth. Your Majesty is extremely filial, so there are some things you can't do. As long as it's not a major matter that harms the national system, just turn a blind eye. You have already been to Prince Yi's Mansion, so naturally you can see Passing that building ship. According to the system, it is already an overstep. It would be enough for an ordinary minister to be executed, but your Majesty, why don't you just follow Prince Yi's temper? "
When he said this, Fang Jie suddenly remembered something: "Qin Liuqi, the steward of Prince Yi's palace, said that Prince Yi also has a role in Huotong Tianxia?"
Wu Yiyi hummed and said: "This is not a big secret at all. Your Majesty knows it. Not only Prince Yi, but also the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty are very few who have no role in my world-wide business."
"So you're not afraid of them?"
Fang explained the question.
Wu Yiyi smiled: "Those adults can take out stocks at any time if they want. If they want to rectify the downward trend of stocks, there are many ways. This is not a bargaining chip that I can use to manipulate them."
Fang Jie thought for a while and said: "That's right. Even if the emperor takes the goods from all over the world and owns them to the government, the role of the adults will naturally still be there. There is a saying that the law does not blame the public, and there is no law in the Sui Dynasty that prohibits officials from doing business. , His Majesty cannot possibly defeat so many adults in one fell swoop, but presumably they don¡¯t really want the goods to be transferred to the world and belong to the emperor, after all.?The dividends they received were much smaller. "
"It's me they want to deal with, not the money circulating around the world. If I die, many of their problems will be buried with me. Compared to this, losing a little money is nothing to them."
Wu Daodao said in a calm tone: "It is precisely because they are all members of Huotong Tianxia that they are angry. They will feel that I betrayed them and did not tell them that His Majesty secretly used me to transport troops to the northwest. It will also make you wonder whether I have told the emperor their secrets."
Wu Yiyi stood up and walked to Fang Jie: "Don't worry, as long as His Majesty doesn't say anything, those people really don't have much to do if they want to beat me. They are supported by the world's wealth, so naturally they have some leverage. . If you really piss me off, you might as well knock over a whole boat of people."
Hearing this sentence, Fang Jie truly realized how terrifying Wu Dao was.
A businessman who can threaten the entire court is undoubtedly successful to the extreme. But precisely because of this, he must not be able to truly be at ease every day. This transport of troops to the northwest exposed the true scale of the movement of goods across the world, and also offended the adults. But this is not the most terrifying thing. There is only one person who is the most terrifying, and that is the emperor.
"I still say the same thing"
Wu Yiyi looked up at the sky and said in a calm tone: "You have only been in Chang'an City for a little over a year. How big Chang'an City is is not what you see with your eyes Don't be too conceited in everything, because you can't afford to offend anyone here. There are too many people. But don¡¯t be too afraid. Just because you are insignificant, you can¡¯t walk away, as long as you can.¡±
Fang Jie was startled, then laughed: "If I can really disturb a pool of spring water, should I be proud?"
¡¡
¡¡
Early the next morning, Fang Jie left Sanjin Houfu with Da Quan and the others. The big dog held the wooden box containing the title deed in his arms, which was the first property Fang Jie owned after arriving in Chang'an City. Fang Jie did not open the box and take a look at the land deed, because he knew that it was not actually his own property.
It¡¯s not very close from Sanjin Houfu to Dong Ersantiao. Qilin drove for more than half an hour to get there. The tailors in the shop have been waiting for news from Fang Jie, but Fang Jie has not said when the clothes will be sold. But fortunately, Fang Jie is a reliable boss, and the money is paid every month. Recently, Fang Jie asked them to accept a few apprentices, all of whom were young and clever.
Seeing Fang Jie coming back, several tailor apprentices quickly came up to salute.
¡°I¡¯ve met the proprietor.¡±
Fang Jie said hello with a smile, asked a few random questions and went up to the second floor. The big dog followed him and opened the wooden box curiously, then was stunned for a moment.
"Fang Jiethere is something else here."
"What?"
Fang Jie turned around and asked.
Da Quan took out a thick stack of banknotes from inside, and after counting them for a while, he couldn't help but cracked his mouth: "See for yourself, I was so dizzy when I saw it."
Fang Jie¡¯s expression changed and his heart tightened. He didn't mention this when he was chatting with Wu Yiyi last night. He probably didn't want Fang Jie to refuse, and there was something else he couldn't say directly. Fang Jie rummaged through the banknotes and saw a small note.
He closed the door and quickly walked behind the table and sat down.
There are not many sentences on the note, but it probably means that Fang Jie will use the money to build a garment workshop. This money is not in the account of Huotong Tianxiaxing, so it cannot be traced. Fang Jie guessed that Wu Daodao's intention must be to leave a way out for himself. If the currency went down, this money would be the capital for his comeback. Wu Daodao's arrangement must have some other meaning, but Fang Jie couldn't figure it out for a while.
He counted the banknotes carefully, and the amount was ridiculously large.
Fang Jie looked at the bank note and was lost in thought. Shen Qingshan walked up to him and took a look at the note. He frowned and thought for a while and suddenly said: "This money may not have been left to him by him, so it certainly wasn't really left to him." For you."
A woman¡¯s intuition is always sharper. She looked at Fang Jie and said seriously: ¡°Maybe it¡¯s for her daughter.¡±
"Big Dog"
Fang Jie was stunned for a moment and then suddenly said: "You and Qilin will leave tomorrow for a long trip In addition, you should go see Tie Nu and Ye Xiao now and ask them to go together. I know that they must be together now. They won¡¯t listen to me, but you can ask them to make a price. As long as you can do it with money, it¡¯s not difficult.¡±
"where to?"
The big dog asked.
Fang Jie looked out the window, and then whispered: "Go to Qingle Mountain in the south of the Yangtze River and watch the Yiyi Temple."Wu Yinyu, the daughter of Jin Hou. If anything happens, take her out. Don't go back to Chang'an. Find a secluded place to stay and tell me when you come back. Also, you must not tell the truth to Tie Nu and Ye Xiao. The two of them have left the Taoist temple, but I am not sure if they still have contact with the Taoists of Yiqi Temple, especially Mo Ningzhi cannot know. "
After Tie Nu and Ye Xiao were free, they left the Taoist temple and now work as bodyguards in a security bureau in the capital. They must have had some conflicts with Mo Ningzhi. Besides, if the two of them and a group of Taoists were allowed to live such a miserable life, they would definitely not be able to stay. If Fang Jie can find more manpower, he may not consider the two of them. Another reason is that the people following Fang Jie are all masters of escape.
Da Quan thought for a while and asked: "There must be many masters in Sanjinhou's mansion, and Sanjinhou may not have no arrangements."
Fang Jie shook his head and said: "Perhaps, all the people under the Marquis have been crucified now. Moreover, if the court really wants to attack the Marquis, his daughter must be controlled. Maybe they have already sent people south. Luo Weiran didn't mention this matter, which means that it would be even more difficult if the Imperial Guard had not intervened. Also those people in the court might come up with some dirty tricks, but Wu Yinyu must not do anything. There's not much we can do to help Mr. Hou, maybe this is the most important thing to do."
He stood up and said: "You go find Tie Slave and Ye Xiao first. I will go to Hongxiu to meet the old man now. He has a wide range of people in the world. As long as you can hire experts with money, the more the better!"
Sanjinhoufu
Fatty Jiusecai secretly glanced at Wu Daodao's face, hesitated for a while and asked, "Can Fang Jie guess what you mean, Mr. Hou? Why didn't Mr. Hou tell him directly last night?"
Wu Yiyi sat on the lounge chair in the pavilion that he was accustomed to, and took a sip of tea: "Yes almost all the people in our hands have been crucified, and it is difficult to think of Chang'an. The reason why I didn't tell Fang Jie directly is because if I As I said last night, he may not leave Sanjin Houfu so happily. He is afraid of death, but if he guesses what I mean today, he will do his best to do Yinyu. It¡¯s okay, Jade, let¡¯s go down to Chang¡¯an City and fight with those people.¡±
He smiled and said: "I want to see who can really force me to use my last bargaining chip."
