Chapter 725: Another Journey

readx;

Fan Chunyou is still young, he can't hide his liking for a person, and if he doesn't like Chen Yuan, he just stands far away. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Looking at Chen Yuan's smug appearance, he really felt very uncomfortable in his heart. There is also that Xia Sui, Chen Yuan has just stepped out of Bianjing, and a smile of victory bloomed on his face, as if no matter what happens, as long as Chen Shimei comes forward, he can handle it.

Sima Guang walked to Fan Chunyou's side: "Prince Chunyou, didn't Ling Zun come?" ”

Fan Chunyou shook his head: "No, my father has not been feeling well in the past two days." ”

Sima Guang sneered: "Hmph, if I don't come, this Chen Shimei is simply too much, when he first entered the court, Lord Fan took care of him many times." But this time he came back and went to see Xiangguo and Bao Zheng, but he didn't go to visit Ling Zun, he was really born in Shangjia and was ungrateful! ”

Sima Guang said this to Fan Chunyou's heart, to be honest, Fan Chunyou was also angry that Chen Yuan didn't go to visit Fan Zhongyan when he came back this time.

In his opinion, Chen Yuan went to visit Xia Zhu because Xia Zhu was still powerful. Chen Yuan went to visit Bao Zheng because of Yan Chasan. In Chen Yuan's heart, maybe Fan Zhongyan is really worthless, or he is far inferior to Yan Chasan, which makes Fan Chunyou unacceptable.

Fan Chunyou's face was a little ugly, and he said with a tough mouth: "It's okay, even if he goes, I don't necessarily open the door for him." ”

Sima Guang said in passing, he didn't expect that this would make Fan Chunyou's heart extremely resentful, seeing that Chen Yuan had already stepped into the carriage, he pulled Fan Chunyou: "Let's go, he's leaving, let's go drink." ”

When Chen Yuan was waving goodbye to the crowd of farewells, the two of them had already turned to leave. After Fan Chunyou walked out for a while, he suddenly glanced back at the carriage that was about to disappear, as if he remembered something: "Brother Sima, do you think that when Chen Shimei came back this time, Lord Bao's behavior was a little abnormal?" ”

Sima Guang was stunned for a moment: "What's wrong?" ”

Fan Chunyou shook his head slightly: "I don't know, anyway, I think Master Bao seems a little too calm this time." Others don't know Lord Bao, but I know his surname very well, on the surface, Lord Bao never intervenes in government politics, in fact, his worries about the country and the people are not something we can imagine. ”

Sima Guang smiled: "If you think of something, just say it." ”

"I really don't know, but I think there may be something in between, think about it, why did Chen Shimei secretly see Yan Chasan immediately after she came back?"

Sima Guang pondered for a moment: "Listening to you say this, there must be a famous hall in the middle." Kaifeng Mansion behaved very neutrally this time, and later did not give Chen Shimei any help, there must be a reason why he was anxious to dissipate Yan, but we can't get a glimpse of it. ”

Fan Chunyou's eyes shone brightly: "I must figure out the things in between." ”

Sima Guang said: "Don't think about it first, it's important to drink, I heard that there is a singing woman from the Zhu Luo Kingdom in a restaurant in the south of the city, and the waist is quite attractive, let's go and see?" ”

The scholar's original surname was destined not to forget the romance, and now they were tired of the so-called Goryeo women and Dongying women, and the girls from the Western Regions who had recently come to the Great Song Dynasty, as well as the women of the Nanyang countries, were quite popular in Bianjing.

Sima Guang and Fan Chunyou didn't think about it at all, if it wasn't for Chen Yuan coming to the Great Song Dynasty, where would it be their turn to find these women now? The women of the Great Song Dynasty sang outside with a pipa, and they were humiliated.

That's how you do things, no matter how good you are, there will always be people who will look at you unpleasantly, and while they enjoy your achievements, they will also make nonsense about you, and even secretly stumble.

Chen Yuan also knew that many people in the Great Song Dynasty now had such an attitude towards him, especially this time Zhao Shi's matter, although he was finally suppressed by Chen Yuan, it had seriously hurt the trust of those scholars in Chen Yuan.

It doesn't matter, Master Don't care, he won't explain anything to those people. Because Chen Yuan didn't have the kind of thoughts they were worried about at all, he believed that in the future, as time went by, he would slowly show them and eliminate the worries in their hearts, which would be more effective than swearing to the sky.

The crowd of people seeing them off gradually moved away, and Chen Yuan knew that his next journey was about to begin. It is estimated that it will take half a month from here to Beijing, and in order to be in a hurry, Chen Yuan will change horses and cars along the way.

In other words, he will even sleep in the carriage, which determines that Chen Yuan's carriage this time is quite luxurious. The interior is not only spacious and comfortable, but also has all the necessary equipment.

Childe sat across from Chen Yuan, who had to use his efforts along the way to ask Childe about Europe. This guy is very dishonest, Chen Yuan can only believe in the words that come out of his mouth Chen Yuan, and the reason why he still needs to use him is because Chen Yuan feels that honest people have no way to help him get out.

In recent years, the official road of the Great Song Dynasty has been built very smoothly, but the carriage is still a little bumpy on it, although Chen Yuan's carriage is very good, the tea can only reach half a cup, and if you pour too much, it will spill.

"How about the envoy, my carriage is not bad, right?"

"Truth be told, I've never seen anything more luxurious than your carriage, and even our Roman nobles can't compare to you."

When Childe said this, his tone was very flattering, and Chen Yuan remembered that he had read a book before, and the name of the book was forgotten, and it was written about the life of the Roman aristocracy in Octavian's time. It seems to say in that book that the Roman aristocracy paid the most attention to their carriages, not only the luxurious and comfortable interiors, but also the exterior was usually inlaid with precious stones.

The carriages of the Song Dynasty were obviously inferior to this, because the Song Dynasty at most found some craftsmen with outstanding craftsmanship to carve the car plate. Gem-setting on the outside of the carriage? In the eyes of the Great Song Dynasty, this is an extremely unpopular way to show off, and only those who are not in the stream will do it.

Chen Yuan smiled and didn't ask this question, maybe his carriage was indeed the most luxurious among the carriages that Childe saw.

"You'll have a better carriage than I have now, until you're the envoy to us and Rome, and if there isn't enough to show off your status, you Romans will laugh at us Da Song."

Child's eyes lit up suddenly: "Really? ”

Chen Yuan nodded: "Well, I have thought very clearly in the past few days, I will make you like the returning Count of Monte Cristo, a figure that those Roman nobles are willing to befriend." ”

"You, what count are you talking about?"

"You don't need to know, when you return to Rome, I will choose a harbor near Rome, where a treasure ship will be moored for you, and the treasure ship will have enough wealth for you to squander, and all you have to do is to spend money for me, so that your nobles will know where your wealth comes from."

Childe smiled very happily: "I think this is probably the job I would like to do the most." ”

Chen Yuan didn't say anything more, leaned back on the cushion and pondered. In fact, his heart was also surging, this time Xia Sui and they didn't understand Chen Yuan's approach very much, especially those businessmen, they always thought that Chen Yuan had let go of the best opportunity.

According to their intentions, they should take advantage of the fact that Renzong was erected to exert a lot of strength to push Zhao Shizhen into the position. Zhao Shi is the son of Chen Shimei, and if he becomes the emperor in the future, it will be immeasurable for the development of the Chamber of Commerce and the improvement of the status of businessmen.

At least they don't have to worry that Zhao Shi will change the current policy, but Zhao Shu is different. Zhao Shu has nothing to do with merchants, his heart is inclined to those scholars, once he really takes power, whether he will increase the amount of taxes on merchants, or simply curb the development of the Chamber of Commerce, this is unknown.

And this is also a great benefit to Chen Yuan, his son is the emperor, then he is too emperor.

These people expressed their opinions to Chen Yuan bluntly, although in the end Chen Yuan suppressed them under the guise of maintaining the stability of the Great Song Dynasty and his own prestige among them, but what about the next opportunity?

The next time the opportunity erupts, these people will definitely jump out, and their methods will be more sophisticated than this one.

If Chen Yuan's ideal was only the Great Song Dynasty, he would be very happy to do this kind of thing. But his ideal is Arabia and Europe, and it is to let the Great Song Dynasty go further.

When a person's ideals are lofty enough, what does power and money count? It's just a tool for him to realize his ideals.

Chen Yuan took a deep breath, as long as he could get the Liao Kingdom done, go out with the Great Song Dynasty, and let everyone see how vast the outside world was, they would not fight.

Thirteen days later, Chen Yuan's convoy finally arrived in Shangjing, and although the carriage was very comfortable along the way, Childe was still a little overwhelmed, and felt like he was falling apart. Stepping out of the carriage, he stretched his arms for a long time, and was about to take a deep breath when he suddenly saw the huge military camp lined up by hundreds of thousands of soldiers of the Song Dynasty.

The rows of shiny spears in the barracks reflected the sun's rays, making Child's eyes a little uncomfortable. The soldiers who were training lined up in a neat formation, and the weapons pierced out with a shout, as if to tell the sky of might.

Child's arm stopped in mid-air, really, he had heard that the Song Dynasty had millions of troops, but when he really saw these first-line elite divisions, the shock in his heart was indescribable!

The two fast horses galloped towards Child's shock, and Di Qing shouted from afar, "Shimei, are you here?" ”

Chen Yuan came out of the carriage at this time: "Brother Di Qing, this time we are going to work together again." ”

Liu Ping, who was following Di Qing, and Di Qing turned over and dismounted together, and hugged Chen Yuan with both fists: "Master Ma, it's been hard all the way, there are some drinks and food in the barracks, please." ”

Chen Yuan smiled: "What? Be so kind to me? Doesn't that mean that life here is not too good now? ”

Di Qing nodded: "Yes, I can barely maintain the condition of an immortal, the war has just ended, and those Liao people often come to disturb this winter, they are cavalry, and we can't catch up with them." Although I can sometimes catch some, most of the time I can only watch them go. But don't worry, no matter how difficult it is, we can still fill your belly as shopkeeper Chen. What's more, you are the god of wealth, where do we starve you? ”

The people around laughed, and Chen Yuan was also angry: "Okay, I haven't drunk with my brothers for a long time, Child, come here." ”
