Chapter 1041: Is It Wrong to Be Diligent and Thrifty? [Ask for a ticket! 】
His Majesty Li Er glanced at Fang Jun with a smile.
When it comes to fallacies and heresies, who in the world can compare to Fang Jun's mallet?
There was a sound of footsteps outside the hall, and a maid came in with a soup can, first greeted her, and then said: "The slave maid is the maid next to Her Royal Highness Princess Jinyang, and she came to deliver sea cucumber soup to the house and horse on the order of Her Royal Highness." ”
His Majesty Li Er was surprised: "There are still sea cucumbers in this world? ”
Something that can surprise His Majesty the Emperor must be extremely scarce. In the middle of winter, the sea freezes, and the sea cucumbers burrow into the crevices of the reef to hibernate, and it is extremely difficult to fish, even if it is the emperor's right, it is extremely rare.
The maid didn't know how to answer, so she had to say, "It was sent by the Fang Fu Ma when the fast boat brought the East Seafood Fish." ”
Princess Jinyang has shortness of breath, in Fang Jun's opinion, this is a cardiovascular disease, and long-term consumption of marine fish can effectively alleviate the condition. Therefore, the royal sailors were specially ordered to send fresh fish from the East China Sea to Chang'an every few days. After the river was frozen, the land route was rerouted, and although the transportation time was longer, the survival time of marine fish was not shortened due to the low temperature. Fang Jun made a large tank at home, every time the sea fish are delivered, there will be fresh seawater to replace, the tank is very shallow but large, which can ensure that more oxygen is fully dissolved into the water to the greatest extent......
Since it is a perennial channel, of course, it will not just transport marine fish, all fresh seafood and even rare products in the South Seas will be transported to Chang'an through this channel.
Who is the most extravagant in Chang'an City?
It's not the emperor, it's not the family lord, it's not the emperor's relatives, it's the princess of Jinyang......
His Majesty Li Er glanced at Fang Jun, and the anger in his heart disappeared in an instant.
To be able to take such pains for the sake of his son's illness, and not hesitate to spend manpower and financial resources to transport sea fish to his son, this is a treatment that even he, the emperor, dare not enjoy!
As a father, what other sin should not be forgiven?
Waving his hand, His Majesty Li Er said gently: "Since it was specially prepared for you by the son-in-law, take it aside and eat it." ”
"No!"
Fang Jun was so hungry that he stuck to his back, and the latest vomit spit out all the things in his stomach, can he not be hungry?
After getting the emperor's order, he took the soup can to a stool in the corner and sat down, snoring and drinking it to the bottom.
When the maid walked away, Wei Zheng frowned and glanced at Fang Jun, who was stretching comfortably, and said unhappily: "Sea cucumber is nourishing, but although this thing is good, it is not easy to get." Our minds are struggling with material resources, and it is inappropriate to work so hard and hurt people and money. ”
Fang Jun is angry!
Lao Tzu drinks the soup made by his sister-in-law, and has a bird feather relationship with you?
If you are idle, you will supervise the emperor Lao Tzu, and if you walk a bird and build a house, you can be impeached vigorously, and I didn't mess with you!
That's not the attitude of you, old boy, when you asked me for a coffin board......
He shook his head and said, "Wei Shizhong's words are not good. ”
Wei Zheng glared and said, "Is the old man wrong?" In the middle of winter, to dig open the ice and dive into the icy water, each sea cucumber contains the hardships and sadness of the fishermen, and then transported to Guanzhong thousands of miles away. ”
He just asked rhetorically, meaning to make Fang Jun feel his luxury.
But Fang Jun said casually: "I've calculated, every catty of sea cucumber transported to Guanzhong is probably worth about eighteen guan." ”
Everyone in the room froze for a moment, is the gavel really counted?
Wei Zheng snorted and said, "Since the Marquis of Huating has calculated, it must also be difficult for the people to think about it, why do you want to be extravagant?" You must know that eighteen yuan is enough to support a family of five to save money for two years, but you will eat it with a few bites, which is too extravagant! ”
His Majesty Li Er's face was ugly.
Old thing, do you mean Fang Jun or me?
If you talk about the number one in the world, I'm afraid that no one can be extravagant as me, the emperor......
Fang Jun asked rhetorically: "Then may I ask, if you don't eat this catty of sea cucumbers, where is the eighteen yuan now?" ”
Wei Zheng was stunned when asked: "The eighteen yuan ...... Naturally, you saved. ”
His Majesty Li Er didn't answer Fang Jun's question, and even Princess Changle stopped studying ink, and stood there looking at Fang Jun with great interest, watching him quarrel with Wei Zheng. When it comes to the benefits of the tongue, there are really few civil and military forces in the Manchu Dynasty who can compare to Wei Zheng, otherwise why would his father be embarrassed and angry by Wei Zheng every time he was pushed against the wall?
I saw Fang Jun say seriously: "It was indeed saved by a certain person, to be exact, the eighteen yuan should still be in the treasury at home, let the dust accumulate, spiders form webs, how is it different from dust?" And in the next eighteen guan for a pound of sea cucumber, Wei Shizhong can know where these eighteen guan are now? In the hands of the farmers who dig the ice in the East China Sea, in the hands of the fishermen who go to the sea to fish for ginseng, in the hands of the boatmen who transport along the way, and in the hands of the porters in the Chang'an Street Market......"
He looked at Wei Zheng and asked, "If there is no such eighteen runs, Wei Shizhong can know the result?" It may be that the fisherman who chiseled the ice had no money to buy rice and starved to death, it could be that the fisherman who went to the sea to fish for ginseng had no money to buy firewood and froze to death, or it could be that the boatman or porter got sick but had no money to ask for medical advice and died. Now none of this will happen, everyone can live a better life after making money, and after spending money to eat delicious sea cucumbers, everyone takes what they need and is satisfied. So the question is, Wei Shizhong's duties are extravagant, what is wrong? ”
Wei Zheng was dumbfounded.
His Majesty Li Er was dumbfounded.
Princess Changle looked sluggish......
Yes, since ancient times, it has been said that luxury is wrong, and you should live diligently and thriftily. But now that Fang Jun is extravagant, where is the wrong place? On the contrary, if he is not extravagant, then there are many people who can't make money, can't afford to buy secrets, can't afford firewood, can't afford medicine, can't afford to hire Langzhong......
Could it be that it is industrious and thrifty?
Princess Changle felt a little brain pain and couldn't figure it out......
Wei Zheng's mouth trembled a few times, racking his brains to refute, but he found that he was speechless!
Is there anything wrong with extravagance?
Definitely! Otherwise, why do all the books and canons say that luxury should be curbed and thrift should be celebrated? Luxury is the root cause of the country's disaster, how many faint kings are ruined because of poverty and luxury?
But now listening to Fang Jun, it seems to be extravagant......
What's going on?
Lao Wei's head was confused, and his nerves were completely deranged.
His Majesty Li Er couldn't figure it out, but he didn't want to think about it at all!
He squinted at Wei Zheng, who had a tangled face, and his heart was as refreshing as drinking chilled Western Regions grapes on dog days, and it was refreshing to be cool!
You are a tough old man who has been looking for my faults all my life, I can't build a summer retreat, I can't want to take in a few more beauties, and I can't even play with birds......
Now you have an opponent, right?
Do you hear that?
Extravagance is justified!
There is something wrong with thrift!
Wowhaha! Special old Wei, you also have today?
His Majesty Li Er's eyes when he looked at Fang Jun were full of praise, what a good Fang Er! is worthy of being my good son-in-law, worthy of being the first minister of the Tang Dynasty, I am deeply hearted, I am deeply hearted! Wouldn't it be much easier for me if such a son-in-law could come ten or eight? In the future, if this Wei Zheng jumps out and twitters crookedly when I want to do something, I will use this set of rhetoric against him!
His Majesty Li Er couldn't help but think longingly, without Wei Zheng's stumbling blocks, he wouldn't be able to do whatever he wanted in the future? The eldest grandson Wuji and Fang Xuanling don't care about chaos or spending money, as long as they don't come up with bad ideas and harm the government, they don't bother to care!
Now that I have countless internal debts, and there are no people who are unrestrained, a beautiful life beckons......
Wei Zheng couldn't think of how to refute it after thinking about it for a long time, he was so angry that his nose was about to smoke, his fingers trembled and pointed at Fang Jun, and said angrily: "Clever words, crooked reasoning, heresy, nonsense...... Where does this fallacy place the teachings of the sages and sages? Could it be that His Majesty is now going to build countless palaces on a large scale? ”
really couldn't think of a rebuttal, and Wei Zheng had no choice but to use the big hat of the sages and sages to oppress people. You don't dare to say that the ancient sages advocated thrift and opposed luxury, right?
His Majesty Li Er almost died of anger, and said angrily: "You two talk about you, don't talk about me!" ”
Wei Zheng knew that he was speechless, and said embarrassedly: "Weichen knows his mistake, he is really confused by this kid." ”
Princess Changle pursed her lips and couldn't help laughing.
This Fang Jun is so bad that he almost faints Wei Zheng......
