Chapter 90: The Crazy Young Patriarch
The sages once said: The nine-story platform starts from the soil; Great oaks from little acorns grow.; If you don't accumulate steps, you can't reach thousands of miles, and if you don't accumulate small streams, you can't become rivers and seas. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
There are some things that you don't do, and you simply don't know what the outcome will be.
As for the result, to use a phrase from Chicken Soup for the Soul: the result is not important, it is the process that is enjoyed.
I don't think about whether I can succeed, since I have chosen a distant place, I only care about the wind and rain.
Since you have long been out of step with this world, and you can't fit into this world, let's try to change this world. Even if you can't change the whole world, at least you can change everything around you.
For a long time, Feng Junyan didn't want to admit that in fact, he had long been on the opposite side of this world. Half a step ahead is a talent, one step ahead is a genius, and a century ahead is a madman, so what is an era ahead?
Instead of cowering and holding back, it is better to declare war directly on the world. The proletariat is fearless, and all reactionaries are paper tigers.
Feng Junyan didn't want to be abandoned again.
Taizu once said that where there is oppression, there is resistance. In that case, let the rebellion begin with me.
Building high walls, accumulating grain, and slowly becoming king, some people have proved with facts that this is the right path, so let me try it too.
What kind of prince will Xiangning have? I know you're going to be swept into the garbage one day, but I can't wait that long.
The next day, Feng Junyan began the first step of his own resistance.
The world is bustling, all for profit; The world is crowded, all for profit. No matter what to do? There is always money. Of course, money is not everything, but no money is definitely impossible.
Before the industrial society came, salt was one of the most important people's biological resources, since Emperor Xiaowu, salt and iron was an important source of income for the imperial court, and the smugglers of salt were definitely the targets of the imperial court. As for why so many people can't afford to eat salt, and illegal salt dealers are not allowed to exist, it can only be blamed on the lack of development of productive forces, the long distance, the lack of money, and so on. These are force majeure factors and are no longer within the consideration of the imperial court. Of course, if you want to say that the current imperial court is just a tool of a few great families, and those people are full of private pockets, giving and receiving from each other, and harming the public and private interests, this is another matter.
Feng Junyan had never eaten coarse sea salt in his previous life, but he had still seen coarse-grained sea salt. Although it is a post-90s generation, in Jiaozhou, a land of southern barbarians, there was still a war in the 80s, so the standard of living is not high, and it can even be said to be backward, so poor people will still buy a load or two of raw salt to pickle pickles.
Of course, Feng Junyan knows how to dry salt, how can people who have read hundreds of time-traveling novels be unfamiliar with this kind of thing. More importantly, thanks to Feng Junyan for being a person who likes to watch documentaries in his last life, although CCAV will be ugly and blind the audience's eyes every time he shoots a large-scale celebration, it is undeniable that CCAV's documentaries are still very good, and Feng Junyan just watched a show about salt drying in Beihai.
That's right, it's in Hepu.
"Brother Bing, do you think salt is expensive?" Determined Feng Junyan, he planned to ask the people around him what they thought first.
"Of course salt is expensive. When I talk about salt, my heart aches. The last time the young patriarch gave Baozhu Village so much salt for nothing, it was really a waste. That's snow-white refined salt, although the man is poor for his own pleasure, but the price is too great, the most important thing is that the young patriarch didn't have any thoughts about the delicate little lady in the end, if you can exchange it back, I won't say anything, and I will give it away for nothing. ”
Feng Bing didn't know if it was because he had been by Feng Junyan's side for a long time, and his ability to complain had risen in a straight line, making Feng Junyan directly have a black line. As for Shui Linglong, Feng Junyan didn't have anything else to think about.
"You're enough, I'm going to get down to business?" Feng Junyan didn't bother to explain to this second goods.
"What would you do if there was a way for us to have the salt we won't be able to eat for the rest of our lives?" Although Feng Junyan had already decided to do it, he still wanted to find a reason to convince himself.
"Young Patriarch, have you thought of any way?" Feng Bing's brain was obviously much clearer this time than before.
"That's right, I do have a way to get salt very quickly, but Qiyu is not guilty, if this matter is known, it may bring unpredictable danger to our entire family, and may even become our annihilation, so I hesitated for a while." Feng Junyan didn't look at the surprised look on Feng Bing's face, but said to himself a little.
Feng Junyan was not in a hurry, but Feng Bing couldn't help it when he heard this. As Feng Junyan's follower from childhood to adulthood, Feng Bing did not doubt the truth of Feng Junyan's words, for Feng Bing, the young patriarch is always right, which is his consistent principle. Just like when Feng Junyan asked him, what he said, what the patriarch said was always right. Now that Feng Junyan is the patriarch, what Feng Junyan said is of course right. So after Feng Bing listened to Feng Junyan's words, he couldn't help it when he saw Feng Junyan's hesitant look.
"What's there to worry about, we Feng Jiaerlang haven't seen anything, if someone wants to snatch something from us, we will fight with them." Feng Bing pulled his throat and immediately became excited, but Feng Bing, who said this, remembered the loneliness of the Feng family being driven out of Ramie Town by the Gan family not long ago, and the anger he had just brought up suddenly leaked. The Feng family really didn't have the ability to deal with those big families.
"Let's just come secretly, Hepu County is far away from the high mountain, who will care about us here." And young patriarch, didn't you just recognize the uncle of Lord Taishou? If you really want to do something, you can ask the Taishou master for help. ”
The biggest official Feng Bing has ever seen in his life is Du Huiqi, and in his opinion, Sun Shen, the Taishou, is already a great official. He didn't think at all about how much benefit Feng Junyan would have if he could really get countless amounts of salt, and how much crisis these benefits would bring.
The collusion between officials and businessmen is of course the safest way, but Feng Junyan doesn't think that his cheap uncle is a reliable person. Judging from his limited few meetings, it is more cost-effective to want Sun Shen, the Taishou, to join him in the same stream as he is. If Sun Shen was not a stubborn guy who was loyal to the monarch and the country, how could he recognize Feng Junyan, a nephew who obviously had black spots, and only this kind of fool would know that Feng Junyan had thunder on his body, and he would willingly drill into it.
Speaking of which, Feng Junyan still admires Sun Shen, although this guy is a little stubborn, but he is also a rare good official, he is a loyal monarch with a mind, always thinking about repaying the king's intentions on the golden platform, and carrying the jade dragon to die for the king, the point is that he really did it. Hepu County can meet such a Taishou, and I don't know if it's good or bad.
"Brother Bing, you said that one day if I bring one powerful enemy after another to the entire family because of me, am I not a sinner of this family?" Feng Junyan raised his head with some self-deprecation.
"Actually, I'm also selfish, if it weren't for me, everyone would still be living the same life as before, and there would be no need to leave the familiar place like now, and even if it weren't for me, Ah Father, they wouldn't have died at all, and now everyone is still living and working in peace and contentment in Ramie Town. Do you think I'm a broom star? ”
Feng Junyan thought that Feng Bing would say something, but when he raised his head, he only saw Feng Bing's tangled and confused face.
"Young Patriarch, are you alright? Although the patriarch is gone, the entire family still depends on you, don't you think about it. After Feng Bing struggled for a long time, he said something that made Feng Junyan vomit blood.
"Dare to love my sad words just now, it was in vain. The patriarch is in a bad mood and wants to find someone to talk to, but you actually think I'm crazy, you're really a stupid cow. Today, I finally know that Boya and Zhongzi period, why Guan Zhong and Uncle Bao have been praised for thousands of years, it is really difficult to find bosom friends. But soon he didn't think so.
"Okay, it's okay. You go, Brother Hei and Brother Shun, they called, I have something to order. ”
After feeling a lot, Feng Junyan decided not to be bored anymore. Now that it's decided, don't hesitate any longer. The greater the benefit, the greater the risk, and Feng Bing is right, as long as you are careful and control the shipment, there will be no danger in a short period of time. As for his insistence on going his own way, he might lead the entire family to a dead end, which was indeed a problem, so Feng Junyan decided not to tell the rest of the clan about this matter first.
The young man who had nothing to do was soon brought over by Feng Bing. Since he had been to Baozhu Village once, Feng Junyan had aroused these four guys, and he had become more and more comfortable.
"Now I have a matter for you that concerns the fate of the entire family, can you keep it a secret?" Feng Junyan looked at the four people in front of him, very serious.
"Yes!" The four of them raised their heads and swore an oath.
"Okay, come with me." Feng Junyan didn't wait for the four of them to understand, and directly took them to the place he had found before.
"Seeing that there is no place here, you can send me a big pit here, and then bring in the seawater, not too deep, not too big, just about one acre." After the instructions, Feng Junyan, who ordered them to keep it secret, directly began to guard the surroundings and not let others know, leaving the four guys with farm tools to look at each other.
"Ah Bing, what do you mean by this, patriarch?" Feng Shun, who was holding a hoe, looked at Feng Junyan's distant back, looking confused.
"This, the young patriarch said, he wants to dry salt?" Feng Bing didn't know how to get back to their questions, so he could only tell the truth.
"Salt? The patriarch isn't crazy. Feng Hei, who was more off the line, said what was in his heart on the spot, fortunately, Feng Junyan had already gone away at this time, otherwise he must turn Feng Hei into Feng Bai.
"What's so much for? The patriarch must have a reason for doing this, anyway, being idle is idle, just dig a pool, Uncle Ji is gone, those of us who are brothers, can't we allow the patriarch to be willful once. ”
In the end, it was Feng Gang, the eldest, who said the reason that convinced everyone. After hearing this, everyone said yes.
