Chapter Seventy-Nine: Planning
"Fang Tang? Why did Taifu recommend this Fang Tang? "When Tang Jingzong assumed the name of Wan Xiang, he had a brief contact with Fang Tang, and in Tang Jingzong's eyes, Fang Tang was just an ordinary businessman.
Although he is more clever, let him enter the palace as a minister...... Isn't that too much to exalt him?
"Your Majesty doesn't know, this Fang Tang is now famous in Youzhou with a cloth coat, and it only took him less than a month."
"Although the appearance of short sleeves and cheongsams has made him controversial, it is undeniable that this person's economic acumen is by no means ordinary."
"In addition, he recently founded Datang Express Company, although it has just been established, but in the eyes of Weichen, this Datang Express Company definitely has an immeasurable future in the future." Liu Tiannan's continuous praise also made Tang Jingzong interested.
"Why does Taifu think that Fang Tang's Datang Express Company will definitely have some achievements in the future?"
"Your Majesty doesn't know that Fang Tang's Datang Express Company was established for the people, and its appearance is, to put it bluntly, to run errands for everyone."
"Datang Express Company is open to anyone, as long as anyone pays a certain fee, then no matter what it is, Datang Express Company will send you, Your Majesty, imagine such a novelty, how can the people not be interested in it"
"What Taifu said does mean something." Tang Jingzong stroked his beard and smiled
"Actually, there is another reason why I recommend Fang Tang." Liu Tiannan continued
"What other reasons are there for Taifu?"
"Your Majesty, just imagine, in the future, if that place is hit by a natural disaster, Your Majesty will definitely mobilize the national treasury to relieve the disaster, but my Tang Dynasty has a lot of land and resources, and the roads in it are even more winding and innumerable."
"What if the disaster relief is delayed because I don't know the way...... I'm afraid Your Majesty doesn't want to see this either. ”
"But if we leave the disaster relief to Fang Tang to do, then the situation will be different."
"Oh? How is it different? ”
"Your Majesty, as Wei Chen said just now, Datang Express Company is running errands for the people, although there are only a few places where they go now, but Wei Chen believes that with the passage of time, Fang Tang's Datang Express Company will definitely appear in every corner of the Tang Dynasty, and when the time comes...... Your Majesty will save a lot of unnecessary time. ”
"Taifu actually has such a high opinion of this Fang Tang?" Tang Jingzong knows Liu Tiannan's temper very well, Liu Tiannan is the head of the world, his vision is also surprisingly high, and it is not easy to make Liu Tiannan open his mouth to admit a person.
But today, Liu Tiannan unexpectedly opened his mouth one after another to praise a little-known Fang Tang?
"Could it be that this Fang Tang really has some ability?"
"Everything depends on what Taifu said, as for the other candidates, Taifu then made a list for me." Tang Jingzong also said with a smile.
"Wechen obeys!"
Although Fang Tang had some ability, according to his current performance, he had not yet reached the point of being a courtier. Liu Tiannan didn't let Fang Tang move into the household department because of Fang Tang's ability, he actually valued not Fang Tang, but Li Xian behind him.
After Li Xian came into contact with Liu Tiannan, he entered Liu Tiannan's sight.
Even if the account book of the King of Jin embezzling tax and silver was not in his hands, Li Xian also knew a thing or two about this matter.
Li Xian's purpose has not been revealed at this time, but the unknown purpose hidden behind him still makes Liu Tiannan jealous.
Although Youzhou is not far from Chang'an City, they are two cities after all, in order to prevent Li Xian from doing anything excessive, Liu Tiannan must always keep Li Xian's situation in his hands!
And Fang Tang is the link between Liu Tiannan and Li Xian.
Listening to Liu Shihan, Li Xian and Fang Tang have a good relationship, and the page that records that the King of Jin embezzled tax silver also flowed out of Fang Tang's Datang Express Company.
Although Liu Tiannan didn't know if Fang Tang knew about this matter, this Fang Tang was definitely part of Li Xian's plan!
Fang Tang came to Chang'an City, which was equivalent to Li Xian entering Liu Tiannan's grasp, and if Li Xian made any moves in the future, Liu Tiannan could also know and make corresponding decisions at the first time.
Because of this, Liu Tiannan recommended Fang Tang.
Not all literati are called Liu Tiannan, and Liu Tiannan's position today is entirely due to his meticulous thinking.
Every one of his actions has a corresponding reason, and others don't see that they just don't do enough.
……
Of course, Fang Tang, who was far away in Youzhou, didn't know what happened in Chang'an City, but after the eunuch wearing an official uniform came to Youzhou with a holy decree later, he suddenly changed. After the eunuch finished reading the holy decree one by one, Fang Tang suddenly became overwhelmed.
"Fang Tang, still don't accept the order?" When he saw Fang Tang kneeling on the ground and confused, the eunuch reminded Fang Tang in a sharp voice.
"Oh...... Oh, take the order, take the order. Fang Tang took the holy decree from the eunuch's hand with a forced face.
When the eunuch saw Fang Tang standing motionless, he also sneered
In his eyes, Fang Tang must have never seen the world, Yijie Buyi suddenly became an official of the Tang Dynasty, and this sudden change in identity was enough for Fang Tang to digest for a while.
"Brother Eunuch...... Wrong...... My lord, I have one more thing to ask you. Fang Tang, who reacted, also stammered
"Say!" The eunuch said with a haughty face
"What if I don't want to be an official?" Fang Tang said this in the eyes of everyone looking at fools.
Since Fang Tang had not yet gone to Chang'an City to take up his post, he was not yet an official, and the eunuchs also called him Fang Gongzi.
"Young Master Fang, you have already accepted the holy decree, if you don't go to Chang'an City to serve at the specified time, then you have committed the crime of defrauding the king, as for this crime of defrauding the king, I don't think I need to explain it to you, right?"
"No, can't I become an official?" Fang Tang said this as if he was going to die.
If you stop a random person on the street and tell him that Your Majesty wants you to be an official, then he will be 100% overjoyed and crazy, even if he is not crazy, he will not open his mouth and refuse directly like Fang Tang.
How many people will there be such a strange thing as Fang Tang? How unlikely is this?
What made the eunuch even more unbelievable was that he had actually encountered this strange person who did not want to be an official!
"I'm good enough to carry it!"
After the eunuch announced the holy decree, he left, and as soon as the eunuch left, the entire Datang Commissary fell into a festive atmosphere.
In their eyes, Fang Tang is an official, even if no matter how big or small the official is, it is better than being a businessman.
Li Yuerong went out to buy vegetables and was ready to celebrate, and Wu Xun Wuneng also hurriedly cleaned up the store, looking like she was ready to hug Fang Tang's thighs.
Everyone was busy, except for Fang Tang, who stood alone and motionless.
"I'm going to be an official?"
"That's too hasty, isn't it?"
