Chapter Thirty-Seven: The Idea of Traveling Far Away
Fang Dingguo said: "These stones and soil can be burned to make money?" Fang Xiaoyu nodded: "That's right, as for building the road, let's build it here to the villa first, it is also easy to transport, and the road to the capital will be repaired later." Fang Dingguo subconsciously nodded and didn't speak, although he didn't say it, but in his heart he still couldn't believe it in burning stones to make money.
Fang Xiaoyu comfortingly patted Fang Dingguo, who was a little stunned, on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, you will definitely make money, I promise." And I've already sent two hundred Iron Guards and five hundred Guards to protect this place, and it's going to be fine. Fang Dingguo said with a bitter face: "Let's take a look first, I think there is no one to protect it, and others can't steal the formula, who would think that stone and soil are raw materials?" Even if it is stolen, it is estimated that it will most likely be considered our trick. ”
Looking at Fang Dingguo, whose face was full of bitterness, Fang Xiaoyu suddenly fell silent. Seeing Fang Xiaoyu's abnormality, Fang Dingguo asked, "Xiaoyu, do you have anything on your mind?" Fang Xiaoyu raised his head and said, "Big brother, I want to ask you for a favor." Fang Dingguo came to the spirit at this time: "What help?" Fang Xiaoyu said: "I want to go out for a walk." ”
Fang Dingguo was puzzled: "Why do you want to go out for a walk?" Where do you want to go? Fang Xiaoyu said: "I have something to do, I hope that my eldest brother will take care of my villa and property before I come back." Of course, there are people in charge of daily work in my villa, and what I need is the eldest brother to help in the official face, after all, the people of the Fang family are relatively strong outside. ”
Fang Dingguo nodded: "Xiaoyu, don't worry, I will help you take care of Haolu, it's just how long you plan to go." ”
Fang Xiaoyu said: "About two or three years." ”
"For so long? Where do you want to go? Fang Dingguo was a little puzzled.
Fang Xiaoyu said with a smile: "I plan to go to the Western Continent to have a look, it can be regarded as traveling around the world." ”
Fang Dingguo didn't ask Fang Xiaoyu what he was going to do, because he knew the temper of this little brother, and since he didn't want to say it, he couldn't ask.
Back at the villa, Fang Xiaoyu gathered his cronies. Seeing that everyone had arrived, Fang Xiaoyu said, "I'm going to go out for a while." Hua Dongxing asked, "The young master wants to go out?" Is there something very important? Fang Xiaoyu said: "I learned from the Ministry of War, the Monte Empire is actively preparing for war, and it is estimated that it will attack us in five years at most, before that, I must go to the Western Continent, I want to see their development, and set our future development plan." ”
Thoble asked, "The war with the Monte Empire is so imminent, isn't it inappropriate for the young master to leave, or wait until the battle is over?" Fang Xiaoyu shook his head: "The people sitting here are all my own people, so I won't hide it from you, Marshal Xia and our Fang family plan to rely on this war to push me to the throne and make me the lord." ”
Listening to Fang Xiaoyu's words, everyone gasped. The lord represents the highest achievement of the empire except for the central ministers, which is simply the emperor of a county, and even several lords privately said that they were unwilling to exchange the official position of marshal or chief assistant with him, which shows the attractiveness of the lord's position.
It's a pity that not everyone can be a lord, except for the two territories inherited by the Xia Cheng family by relying on their founding merits, only Wang Xuan, the imperial god of war who made great achievements twenty years ago, won this honor, and the Wang family also became a big family.
In the past 30 years, the Wang family has grown rapidly from a small and medium-sized family, and in recent years, there have even been three squires and seven prefects, the Wang family has not only dominated the southeast Tubo County controlled by Wang Xuan, but also radiated outward, and has now become one of the largest families in the southwest of the empire.
After everyone's emotions calmed down a little, Fang Xiaoyu continued: "Once I become a lord, in addition to being ordered to enter Beijing, leaving the territory will be held responsible, and the heavy one will even lose the territory, so I must investigate the Western Continent in advance." ”
Sun Huaizong asked, "Young Master, is the Western Continent so important?" ”
Fang Xiaoyu nodded: "Based on my calculations, we are very sure of our hegemony in the Eastern Continent and even the Central Continent, but I don't dare to say so about the Western Continent, I conclude that the Western Continent will definitely be our strong opponent in the future." ”
Zhao Quan said: "Recently, many former brothers have come to join me, and the intelligence organization has also begun to develop, I plan to find a few people to accompany the young master to establish the intelligence organization in the Western Continent first." ”
Fang Xiaoyu nodded: "Send a few more people, and the intelligence organization of the New World will also be established as soon as possible." ”
Fang Xiaoyu looked at everyone and said, "When I was away, Sun Huaizong was in charge of the overall situation. Sun Huaizong immediately objected: "Young master, at this time when you leave, you can't take too much care of my face, this is the foundation of the young master, there is no room for mistakes, I know that I don't have such ability, so I think Mr. Hua should be the manager." ”
Seeing Sun Huaizong's determined eyes, Fang Xiaoyu knew that he was really good for himself. Fang Xiaoyu nodded: "Okay, but Sun Huaizong is still the head of Lanting Villa, mainly in charge of agriculture and vegetable wholesale, as well as the supply of his own shops." Let Mr. Hua take charge of the overall situation and focus on the production of the industrial zone, and you will still manage it in the name of my senior advisor. Hua Dongxing nodded and didn't say anything, he knew that among the people present, it was most suitable for him to pick this burden.
Fang Xiaoyu said again: "KFC fast food restaurant let the money shopkeeper worry about it, I will leave enough secret seasonings for them, but these must be stored in the villa, don't give them all at once." Soon after he took refuge in my command, I had to guard against him. Tobul is still in charge of the military, and I hope you can train an iron army before I return. Toble nodded. Lin Feng is in charge of the children, and you can also take in some more orphans. Lin Feng said: "I know the way." ”
Fang Xiaoyu turned to Zhao Quan again and said, "Zhao Quan, your task is the heaviest, the advance warning of the entire mountain villa depends on you, and at the same time, you have to help them screen people, don't let other powerful people get in." There is also the situation of the escort army, I estimate that Liu Junxi will be back in a month or two, and when he returns, there will be 3,000 escort troops. You must remove all other powerful elements from the convoy before I return. ”
Zhao Quan asked, "What should those people do?" Fang Xiaoyu said with a firm look in his eyes: "Dispose of it secretly, don't leave traces." Zhao Quan listened to Fang Xiaoyu's words, and a flash of joy flashed in his eyes, in fact, he wanted to test Fang Xiaoyu's attitude with this question, because those who do great things must be decisive, Fang Xiaoyu has such a decisive decision, Zhao Quan is very pleased. He nodded and said, "I must take care of it, and when the young master comes back, I will let you see an iron bucket-like Lanting Villa." ”
"Al and Browning's Hammer, you two also need to assist them, Al is mainly to prevent others from infiltrating the villa, and Browning is to take care of the industry in the industrial area." Fang Xiaoyu said. Browning's hammer nodded, and Al muttered for a long time before saying, "Young master, can you bring my sister with you?" ”
Fang Xiaoyu was surprised: "Take Elena?" For what? Al said: "There are not many masters around the young master, most of them rely on the advantages of weapons, such guards are invincible against ordinary enemies, but not against assassination masters." And our elven clan has always had ancient methods of training physical arts, and my sister is a few masters among the younger generation of our elven clan, which is very helpful to the young master. And we elves have some secrets that are not known. ”
Al glanced at the people around him and said, "All of you here are the young master's cronies, I hope you will keep it a secret for me." Seeing that everyone nodded, Al continued: "The vision and hearing of our elves are not several times stronger than those of ordinary humans, but about twenty times, and our eyes also have the ability to see at night. That's what makes us the best jungle hunters. ”
"So strong?" Fang Xiaoyu gasped, he didn't expect the elves to have such strength, he really underestimated them before. Fang Xiaoyu felt that this world was becoming more and more like a magic novel.
Browning's Hammer also said: "It is estimated that each sub-human race has its own advantages, and the advantage of our dwarves is that we have ten times greater strength and more exquisite craftsmanship than ordinary humans, and at the same time, our sense of smell is relatively developed, and we can smell the minerals underground, so we dwarves are the best miners in addition to forging." Seeing that El told the secret of the clan, and the Browning Hammer also said the advantages of the dwarves, everyone inhaled again, Hua Dongxing and the others were shocked by Fang Xiaoyu's foresight, and actually recruited these such powerful races, with such a group of powerful helpers, their careers can be described as having a bright future.
