Chapter 860: I Want to Be Emperor!
Chapter 860: I Want to Be the Emperor!
The world is too big
Whether it is Fang Jie's past life or the present life he is in, the world is so big that no one can grasp even the news about himself, and the more famous he is, the more so. The more famous a person is, the more people will mention him, and there are countless things that directly or indirectly involve him, so no one can have all the information about himself.
Comparatively speaking, it is easier for people who are confined to the wilderness. A village with only a few dozen people, even if it is a famous person like the village chief, at most, dozens of people will mention him? In another village hundreds of miles away, I am afraid that few people know about other people's villages.
Fang Jie's fame is already great.
It's not a matter of a day or two that he became famous, in Fangu, he is a famous person, because he relied on his little wisdom and experience brought back from his previous life to help Fangu people live a life where they have meat to eat and surplus food and money at home. After entering Chang'an, Fang Xie was also famous, because his pinyin annotation and small character calculation method shocked a group of scholars in Chang'an City, and those respectable and lovely old guys were amazed.
Although the war was raging, in the past few years, the small character calculation method and pinyin annotation method have been used throughout the country, and even the private school teacher has to hold an officially printed book to study by himself in order to get his own job, and then teach it to his students. However, speaking of which, if Fang Xie could have taken it over and printed it himself, it would have been a lot of silver. Of course, that's not possible.
The current Fang Xie is even more famous, because he is already the Duke of Zhenguo.
It is not necessarily known how many stories have happened behind these three words, but anyone who knows that Lu Dao Fang Xie has been promoted to the rank of national prince can tell one or two things more or less.
And many people began to tell the story of Fang Xie in the way of narrating legends. Isn't it a pride to be a legend in the eyes of a big, large group of people?
Fang Xie didn't dare to be proud, because he knew what kind of hardships he would have to face in the future. When he walked out of Fan Gu, what he wanted was to rely on the strength of the Great Sui to let himself live in peace and stability, if he couldn't enter the Yanwu Academy smoothly, then find a yamen to be a small official, at least worry-free about food and clothing.
There was still a lot of suffering then, let alone now?
The current solution is no longer as simple as wanting to live in peace.
He was already standing high enough that he had to keep climbing higher.
The ancient town of Shengfangting is still so comfortable as when it came. Fang Xie and his party were not in a hurry, they had a comfortable lunch in the town, and then he was still in the mood to take his women around the street and buy some small snacks such as spiced melon seeds, ready to spend the boring time on the boat. Fang Xie found a bookstore by the way, and actually bought a biography of Yang Jian, the emperor of Taizu of the Great Sui, it is said that the author is a person from the Taizong period, and the person who wrote this book was born in a small rich family, and the reason why he dared to truthfully write some words that were slightly disrespectful to Emperor Taizu was mostly because he really loved literature. A small half of the reason...... It's stupid to read.
He wrote and printed it at his own expense, and then sent a few copies to relatives and friends, thinking that it would be okay to be popular in the small circle, but who would have thought that he would poke out a big case. I don't know how this book got into the hands of Emperor Taizong, and Taizong ordered it to be confiscated in anger. The writer of the book was beheaded all over the house, and the man who circulated the book died and was exiled, and then suffered.
Such a book would never appear in any bookstore during the Taiping period of the Great Sui, even if the owner of the bookstore was bold, it was not this way to die, because it would affect the family.
The biography of Taizu that Fang Xie bought in the ancient town of Shengfangting worth one hundred and twenty taels of silver is not much worse if it is not a unique one, if the Great Sui is really destroyed, after the arrival of the next Qingping prosperous era, if this book is taken out and sold, it will definitely be more than one hundred and twenty taels.
"Taizu is indeed the first male lord in the world without precedent, but the twelve emperors of the previous dynasty are also unmatched."
Fang Xie couldn't help but sigh when he saw this sentence, someone dared to write like this during the Taizong period, and he really died by himself. After all, this era is still an era of imperial supremacy, where is there any freedom of speech? It's not like Fang Jie's previous life, although he is still slightly imprisoned, but at least everyone dares to joke with the name of the saint.
"The Lord"
Chen Xiaoru came in from outside and handed over a note in his hand: "The news sent by Zuo Mingcia ......"
Fang Xie opened it and looked at it, there were only a dozen words on the note, but he explained almost everything clearly. It boils down to that Zuo Mingcian took the people of the Xiao Riding School to fill up some mess for Luo Tu in Muping, and this time more than a dozen carts of firearms purchased with the rebels of the Principality of Rus were robbed by Zuo Mingchan, because of the manpower and siblings, coupled with the support of the goods through the world, this batch of things was not burned, but transported to the southwest by boat.
Recently, more and more foreigners have appeared in Muping City, and at most even half of the market is occupied by foreigners, and the other half of the market is occupied by the harvested Dasui merchants, as for the Dongchu merchants who once occupied almost the entire market in Muping City, it seems that they have disappeared overnight, and it is difficult to find them now.
It was precisely because a large number of foreigners entered Muping City that the rebels of the Principality of Rus, who were doing business with Luo Tu, were also more careful, Zuo Mingcian captured a few of Luo Tu's subordinates, and the interrogation revealed that Luo Tu had ordered a huge number of muskets and artillery, but the people of the Principality of Rus wanted such a large sum of silver but couldn't take out so many weapons.
What Zuo Mingcian didn't find out was that because of such a large order, he actually quietly helped the people of the Oplu Empire solve a trouble.
Luo Tu took out enough silver that the rebel leaders of the Duchy of Rus' had forgotten that they wanted it to expand their army to avenge it. Several leaders looked at each other with greedy eyes, and then said with a smile that we have so much silver and are still resisting fart, let's take out the weapons and sell them to those stupid hats, let them go to war, let's take the silver and fly away, how good it is to find a good place to be an uncle.
Hit it off.
Perhaps even Lyman the Great of the Opru Empire did not expect that the rebels of the Principality of Rus would disappear like this.
"Something is wrong"
Fang Xie shook his head after reading the secret letter: "What is the movement of Yang Shunhui's side?" ”
Chen Xiaoru replied: "Yang Shunhui has been in close contact with foreigners recently, and Yang Shunhui nodded that foreigners can enter Muping City to do business, so Yang Shunhui must have received a lot of benefits from it." Therefore, every time foreigners enter the general's mansion of Yang Shunhui, they carry boxes of gifts into them. ”
"Not so good"
Fang Xie was silent for a while and then ordered: "Go, find a way to contact Sanjin Hou, and let him send people who travel all over the world to find some Eastern Chu merchants as soon as possible, don't drag this matter on...... I suspect that Dongchu has already destroyed the country. ”
Chen Xiaoru was startled by these words, and he paused for several seconds before reacting: "My God! The lord said that all the merchants of Eastern Chu have disappeared, not because the supply of foreigners is cheaper and direct, but because the foreigners have already destroyed Dongchu under the pretense of covering up such things? ”
Fang Xie nodded: "That's what I'm worried about, the emperor of the Opru Empire named Lyman is ambitious, he already has no opponents on the other side of the ocean, and for an emperor who has been expanding, it is painful to not find a new place to start a war...... Dongchu is his springboard from the other side of the ocean, as long as Dongchu is destroyed, the next step is to point directly to the Central Plains. ”
"Ahh
Chen Xiaoru suddenly thought of something: "What if...... If the people of Mufu led troops into Shanhaiguan and entered the Central Plains at this time, wouldn't Dongjiang be empty? If foreigners know the Tao...... The consequences are unimaginable! ”
"Tell the boatman, stop the boat!"
Fang Xie suddenly ordered: "Dock, I have to wait for someone!" ”
Chen Xiaoru was stunned, he didn't expect who Fang Xie was waiting for for a while. Everyone has returned, and the people in the shadows are also going back with the fleet, who else needs to wait? But Chen Xiaoru knew that there were some things that the lord himself said was okay, but he couldn't ask. The greatest duty of being a subordinate is to control the mouth, ears and eyes, and those who can know the Tao do not need you to look and ask and listen.

Gangnam
Jin family compound
Looking at the courtyard that had changed beyond recognition, Jin Shiduo's eyes were full of sadness. I think that when the old lady was still alive, although she didn't go out, there was a seat for her in the Tonggu Academy. Because there are seats, Jinjia is a first-class wealthy family in Jiangnan!
But Jin Shiduo also knows that the things behind the wealthy family are even more cold and cruel. So he felt that he was ready for the gradual decline of the Jin family after the death of the old lady. But when Wan Xingchen's sword slashed down without warning, he found that he was not ready at all.
The old lady died, the boss of the Jin family was a weak character who defended the city, and was squeezed out by the people in the Tonggu Academy without any status, and finally the Jin family became the person who was launched by the Tonggu Academy after the Pang family, Pang Ba was killed by Luo Yao in Jiangbei, and then the Pang family plummeted, and now no one even mentions it.
Now, it's his turn to suffer the disaster.
He was pushed out by the people in Tonggu Academy to lead the troops, it was really helpless, if he didn't take this matter, then the Jin family would be destroyed. If you take it, it's still a disaster...... Of the two choices, you can only choose the calamity that comes later. But who would have thought that Tonggu Academy would disappear so soon?
Legend has it that the person behind the academy didn't show up at all when the academy perished!
As a result, the Jin family was lucky enough to avoid the calamity, and the calamity that was unlucky to eat came after the destruction of Tonggu Academy. He himself led his troops to fight Yang Jian in Jiangnan, and his second brother Jin Shixiong led his troops to fight fiercely with the man named Fighting Tiger in Jiangbei, so Yang Jian was angry and sent a team of ironclad troops to attack 600 miles and slaughtered his Jin family first. His eldest brother died unexpectedly, and there were almost no living people left in the family.
The once famous family garden has also been burned to the ground.
"Lord Wang, now is not the time for you and me to intrigue."
Jin Shiduo looked at the devastation and felt his heart twitch.
Tu Mian, who was standing on his side, looked at him expressionlessly: "You mean, beg me to avenge you?" ”
"Please?"
Jin Shiduo repeated the word, then nodded with a wry smile: "Please!" I'm begging you to help me take revenge, I know that your cultivation is amazing, and I am by no means Yang Jian's opponent, so I can only beg you! ”
"Two conditions."
Tu glanced at Jin Shiduo: "First, your people, Jin Shixiong's people all belong to me, and the same goes for the two of you." Of course, you don't have to worry, you can send someone to contact Jin Shixiong in Jiangbei, and I will give you half a month. Second, the Jin family will do their best to help me do one thing, so that everyone in the world knows! ”
"What's the matter?"
Jin Shiduo asked after hesitating for a moment.
Tu raised his head and looked at the sky, muttering to himself, "If I have this achievement to fight Yang Jian, so I don't have any choice...... Why can't I do one thing on my own terms? Regardless of the success or failure of life and death today...... No matter how notorious he is, I have done it after all...... I want to be emperor! ”
Jin Shiduo's body trembled in fright, and he took a few steps back: "Wang ...... Lord Wang, it is extremely inappropriate to be called emperor now, right? I'm afraid that as soon as the news of this emperor comes out, we will have no way to retreat and no helper, not only the people of the imperial court, but also other powerful forces will immediately declare war on us...... Think twice. ”
Tu Leng sneered: "What am I afraid of?" If I can't defeat Yang Jian, I will die, what enemy am I afraid of, what will I be afraid of? If I defeat Yang Jian, who else in this world needs me to be afraid of? As for infamy, who would dare to scold me? ”
He shook his sleeves behind him and stood with his hands: "No matter what, I will do that, whoever stops me will die first!" ”
