Chapter 110: I'm Coming
Fang Xie stayed in the Sanjin Houfu for the whole afternoon, and Wu Yi caught thirteen fat carp by the small lotus pond, so Fang Xie was even more reluctant to go, because Wu Yi said proudly during the chat, his best skill is to make a whole fish feast.
Fang Xie is not a glutton, the reason why he stayed is because he still has a lot to listen to Wu Yiyi. Today, Fang Xie found that his understanding of the big city of Chang'an was almost zero. He thought he had inquired about a lot of things, but the longer he lived in Chang'an, the more ignorant he felt.
Wu Yiyi didn't have a sense of disgust for this young man who refused to say goodbye when it was almost dark, on the contrary, he liked this guy's greed very much. In his own words, it's a very good temper.
"Want to eat a whole fish feast?"
He asked with a smile.
Fang Xie shook his head and said seriously: "It is better to teach people to fish than to teach them to fish." ”
Wu Yiyi waved his hand again and again: "I didn't plan to give you fish, so naturally I don't have any fishing means to give it to you...... But when you eat, you have to drink, and when you drink, you have to talk and brag. I can tell you about some of the things about the old sesame seeds and rotten grains, but I'm idle and bored anyway. ”
"The more the merrier"
Fang explained four words.
"You're greedy."
Wu Yi pointed at Fang Xie and smiled: "I haven't seen such a greedy guy as you for many years...... But I like people to be greedy, and since I started in business, I've learned a truth. The most powerful reason for the growth and progress of people in this world is greed. If a man is not even greedy, what can fill him with strength? ”
"Love, justice, maintaining the stability of the world, protecting the homeland, etc., are also the reasons."
Fang Xie replied with a stinky fart.
"Fuck off"
Wu Yiyi scolded with a smile.
"Partial and non-rolling"
Fang Xie sat down by the lotus pond, picked up the pebbles at his feet and threw them into the pool one by one, scattering a lot of fish, and stirring up ripples in the originally peaceful lotus pond. He suddenly remembered that in his previous life, when he was a child, there was a small pond behind his house, and his favorite thing to do after school was to stand by the pond and float with stones. And in this life's childhood, it seems that there has never been such a simple and satisfying fun.
Wu Yi lifted the fish basket and beckoned to his subordinates, asking them to clean up the fish. He walked to the side of the recliner and lay down, looked at the sunset in the west and sighed: "You just threw a stone into the lotus pond, and the peace was broken by you." For example, you are the pebble, and the lotus pond is the entire Chang'an City...... Compared to the lotus pond, your pebble is insignificant. But who knows when a pebble will be able to stir up a pool of spring water? ”
He glanced at Fang Xie and said: "You have now made ripples in the imperial capital city one by one, think about it carefully, because a small person like you from the border city can rely on the splash of falling water to shake the big people in the court one by one, it is really a strange thing." ”
Fang Xie didn't quite understand what Wu Yiyi meant: "I didn't think I had such a big ability. ”
"You're not capable?"
Wu Yi glanced at him and said, "Do you know how much turmoil has been stirred up in the court since you entered Chang'an City?" First of all, starting from your departure from Fan Gu, those inspectors of the military department and Dali Temple died because of you, right? Wu Xiangsheng, the eunuch of the imperial study, died because of you, right? ”
"If there was no such thing, Li Yuanshan and Li Xiaozong would have done such a big evil thing? If they don't do evil, they don't spend money to win over the people of the government and the military department. Will Gao Tianbao die? The deputy commander of the Ouchi Guards will make Meng Wushu become one-armed? After Gao Tianbao died, his body was transported to Chang'an City and buried under the ground in front of the household department, and he was allowed to step on it, and he was never allowed to turn over. If it weren't for this incident, Hou Junci, the squire of the military department, and the dozen or so officials would have their heads cut off by His Majesty in anger? ”
"Later, after you arrived in the imperial capital, the Eagle Vulture of the Outer Lang, a member of the military department, wanted to kill you and tricked you into the martial arts arena, and then you met Luo Wen...... Because of you, Rowan won the first name of the Martial Arts Academy, and it was precisely because of this that he wanted to get rid of you. So there was the fact that Eagle Eagle and Luo Wen's people attacked at the same time that night, and the result was that Eagle Eagle was executed, and Yu Donglai, the secretary of the Ministry of War, struggled to maintain his official position and had to take the blame and resign. ”
"It's still because of you that Hou Wenji will go to see Luo Wen in private, as for what he talked about with Luo Wen, although there is no way to know what he wants to do. But it was precisely because of the incident in Keshengju that His Majesty was involved, so that Hou Wenji couldn't hide it if he wanted to! Maybe you don't know it yet...... After you left Keshengju, those border troops were full of praise for you, and faintly, you have become the leader of the border army. ”
Hearing Wu Yiyi finish speaking, Fang Jie's first reaction was: "How do you know so many things?" ”
Wu Yiyi first pointed to his eyes and mouth: "Because the position I am standing in is not low, I see far more things than ordinary people." And I'm a person who likes to ask about strange things, so I can ask a lot of news......"
He pointed to his head again and said, "If you think about what you see and ask about it, you can infer a lot of things." ”
"Why are you paying attention to me?"
Fang asked.
Wu Yi thought for a while and replied: "Because you have made the imperial capital not peaceful, besides, I am not the only one who pays attention to you?" ”
Fang Xie shook his head slightly and said: "If I can, I would rather be like when Li Fubo entered the Martial Arts Academy, no one pays attention to him when he enters the door, so that there will be a lot less trouble." ”
"You can't lower your profile and enter the Martial Arts Academy now."
Wu Yi smiled and said, "There are many people who have a clear attitude and want to hit you in the face, so they round their arms and hit them hard. If you slap your face swollen and still feel angry, it's better to knock out your mouth full of teeth. If you want to make a low profile, it is equivalent to sticking out your face for people to beat. ”
"I haven't found anything I've been able to make a splash until now."
"If you don't have the ability, you have to carry it."
Wu Yi was silent for a while and said, "After you fainted in Keshengju, Your Majesty said a word to those border soldiers...... Your Majesty said that he is the rear of all the border troops, and you don't need to be afraid of anyone. There are hundreds of famous families in the world, but none of them dare to say that they are as big as the royal family. Are you a frontier soldier? ”
"Yes!"
"Then you're still afraid of a fart? Let's think about it carefully, how to fight for His Majesty's face. By the way, it is good to move the atmosphere of the Yanwu Academy back, you must know that at the beginning of Taizu's establishment of the Yanwu Academy, the Yanwu Academy was not controlled by the children of the family. Most of the first batch of people who entered the Yanwu Academy that year were veterans under Taizu's command back then. Although there are no amazing characters, the atmosphere of the martial arts academy is very positive. After that, the country of the Great Sui became more and more stable, and the atmosphere of the Yanwu Academy became more and more worrying. ”
"Fortunately ......"
Wu Yi smiled and said, "Your Majesty intends to change, and you have caught up with a good time." ”
……
……
After dark, the bustle in the streets and alleys of Chang'an City gradually subsided. While business is still thriving, the streets have become deserted. Fang Xie listened to Wu Yiyi talk about some old things about the so-called Chen Sesame Rotten Grain in the Sanjin Hou Mansion, but in fact, he was openly and secretly pointing out how he would deal with the turmoil in Chang'an City.
Wu Yiyi didn't give Fang any solution, just told him that you have no way out. And, just in time for the best time for the military. Fang Xie couldn't know how many high-level secrets this richest man in the Great Sui could come into contact with, and he could only vaguely speculate that Wu Yiyi'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 earth-shattering battle that His Majesty is secretly planning. In the vault of Changchun Garden, the emperor told Yang Kai, the king of Xujun, that he had secretly mobilized grain from seven granaries north of the Great River to transport it to the northwest, and had also transported enough ordnance and armor from the three palaces to equip hundreds of thousands of troops. These things add up to a huge batch of materials, how difficult it is to secretly transfer them, and how can they hide from people?
If the imperial court wants to transfer the goods, it must work hard to mobilize the people. Such a big movement must be something that even a blind person can hear, not to mention that those people in the court are more shrewd than monkeys.
Without using the power of the imperial court, who in this world can have such a large amount of money to transport materials for His Majesty?
Of course, it is Wu Yiyi, who is the world's goods!
With the strength of the cargo pass world, although it is a little difficult to do this big thing for His Majesty, it is definitely the best choice, when people notice that the unusual move of the cargo pass is already too late, and a large number of grain and grass materials have 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 house!
And most importantly, the transfer of troops.
In addition to the imperial navy, only a cargo fleet that travels all over the world can secretly transport men and horses of this scale to the northwest.
Wu Yiyi's status is much higher than what Fang Xie guessed.
A merchant can be made a marquis by His Majesty, and can make his business and goods available to the world, and no one can find out what secrets are behind this. But what is certain is that without the support of the emperor, how could Wu Yiyi's trading house form such a huge scale? If Wu Yiyi hadn't secretly done a lot of things for the emperor, how could he have monopolized so much commerce?
When the identity of a businessman is preceded by an official word, it is terrible.
In the Sanjin Waiting Mansion, Wu Yiyi didn't seem to be stingy with his time, and he seemed to be happy to talk and get along with this little person who was impossible to have a relationship with him at all. Although as he himself said, he would never invest much money for Fang Jie, and could only tell him some news and some reasoning, but for Fang Jie, this was undoubtedly the greatest help to him.
A wild boy from a poor countryside wants to gain a foothold in a metropolis like Chang'an, and there are too many things that are lacking. Fang Xie is like a hungry greedy ghost, constantly eating, trying to fill his stomach, even if he can't fill it, he has to eat as much as he can.
South Twelve is a very ordinary street, such a street is as insignificant as a capillary in Baili Chang'an City. casually go around Chang'an City for half a day, so that ordinary streets can at least walk a dozen or twenty.
The most famous place in Minami Jujujo is an inn called the Guipeng Inn. It is said that when Emperor Shun of the Great Sui Dynasty, that is, the grandfather of the current emperor, was still in power, there was a son from the south who lived here, studied hard all day long, drank only one bowl of porridge for each meal, and ate some pickled vegetables given by the store. Although he didn't starve to death or couldn't afford to pay for the house, he did live a shabby life.
But it is such a person who has become the first champion in the history of the founding of the Great Sui Dynasty.
This scholar was a blockbuster, and when he was pointed out as the champion by Emperor Shun in the palace examination, he was surprised by the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty. Of course, because of this, the reputation of the Gui Peng Inn also became loud. So much so that later, even those who came to Beijing to take the exam, even those who had a lot of money in their pockets, would come here to live for a while, sticking to the blessings.
The first champion of the Great Sui is called Huairenli. Few people remember mentioning this name, because the name he later changed to himself was too loud, called Huai Qiugong.
It was already late, and the young man at the Gui Peng Inn was sitting at the counter and napping. Because it was not yet time to close, and at this time few people came to invest in the store, he was a little bored. When he was sleeping in a daze, he suddenly heard something startled him, he rubbed his hazy sleepy eyes and looked over, and subconsciously asked: "The guest officer stays in the hotel?" ”
I don't know when a person came in the inn, dressed very strangely, looking very cold and arrogant, and ignored the young man's questioning.
The young man took a closer look and immediately opened his mouth wide in surprise. If anyone is willing to try it, he will definitely be able to stuff an apple in his mouth.
The person standing in the room was a middle-aged man who looked to be about forty years old, with a tall figure. He has a wide forehead, angry eyebrows, a high nose, and a face that is sharp and angular like a knife and an axe. And the most striking thing is the clothes on his body, which are clothes that ordinary people will never and cannot dare to wear.
The big red robe is also embroidered with gold thread with a lot of complicated lines. I can't see the beginning or the end clearly, I can't see the end along any of the lines, and the patterns that all the lines gather together are complex and headaches.
The red-robed Grand Priest!
I drop an ancestor, alas!
The young man suddenly came to his senses and almost shouted in surprise!
"I'm coming"
The red-robed high priest looked up at a room on the second floor of the inn, and said three words in a flat tone.
