Chapter 106: Listening to the Rain on a Rainy Night
It suddenly rained at night, and the rain in early summer was quite powerful, especially in this city full of green tiles and stone paved streets, when it rained, the scenery was as beautiful as a painting, which made people have to sigh at the power of the brain, but it was a pity that it was at night, otherwise Fang Zhiwen would still be in a mood to appreciate the rain.
The rain in the yard was ticking on the stone floor, and the small waterfalls on the eaves hung down the eaves, crashing into the drainage ditch under the eaves, and the crisp ding dong sound of knocking on the green tiles, the dull popping sound on the courtyard floor, and the crackling sound on the leaves, like an ensemble on a rainy night.
Fang Zhiwen stood silently in the hall, holding the bow of the wild goose in his left hand, and opening the bow very slowly with his right hand, the whole movement was slow and powerful, without a trace of trembling, this is the foundation of an excellent archer, at the moment of opening the bow, it seemed that the whole world had stopped, and even the music of the ensemble on those rainy nights seemed to be paused for a moment, and then the sound of 'buzzing' strings shook, as if the switch was turned on, and the sound of rain filled the entire hall again.
'Bang Bang'" Adult martial arts are amazing! In the past, I thought it was a miscommunication, but it turned out that the martial arts were to the extreme, and it could really calm people's minds, and when the adult opened the bow just now, it seemed that the whole world was quiet and stagnant, and I admired it in the next 1
"Hehe, Gongzi Zhen is polite, it's late at night, hasn't Gongzi rested yet?" Fang Zhiwen didn't look back, in fact, when the faint fragrance came, Fang Zhiwen knew that this pseudo-girl was coming, but he could wait until now to find him, and he could be regarded as very calm.
"The sound of the rain disturbs people, and I can't sleep peacefully, I wanted to come out to breathe, but I didn't expect the adults to rest. What about Sister Ling? ”
"Hehe, Zhen Gongzi doesn't know that Xiangxiang is a stranger, so naturally he went down to rest."
"Oh, actually, I'm curious why adults have an alien sister." Zhen Ergongzi walked to the edge of the threshold, leaned lightly on the door frame, looked up at the upside-down waterfall on the eaves, and asked casually.
Fang Zhiwen curled the corners of his mouth, Zhen Ergongzi's question is a temptation, I want to know my attitude towards him, to be honest, this question is quite obscure, how I treat this issue actually represents an important value of my own.
"Hehe, what's so strange about this, I like her as a sister, and she also likes me to be her brother, that's it."
"Oh, that's fate, I believe in fate, between people, there is always an inexplicable involvement, then it's fate, just like we met."
Fang Zhiwen shuddered, looked at the back of Zhen Ergongzi, and was a little worried, this guy won't take a fancy to himself, we don't have that hobby! This kind of fate, don't do it!
Ignoring Fang Zhiwen's crooked thoughts, Zhen Ergongzi turned his back to Fang Zhiwen and talked eloquently.
"My lord, sea trade will be able to prevail, as long as the Zhu family is willing to work hard, the day of building a sea ship will not be far away, but the Zhu family has a big business, and the Jiangdong family is even more flourishing.
"I'm afraid I can't do it, right? Huh"
Fang Zhiwen said with a smile, as if he didn't care, while slowly raising the bow and starting to draw the bow again.
"Exactly, why should the adult directly inform the Zhu family of such a good thing, although my Zhen family is not involved in the matter of the boat, but it is not qualified to negotiate with it, others dare not guarantee it, but under the great grace of the adult, I dare not disappoint the adult."
Zhen Ergongzi turned his head and looked at Fang Zhiwen with a mountain of momentum seriously, there was actually a little grievance in his eyes, maybe he felt that Fang Zhiwen should discuss this matter with him first, and then negotiate with the Zhu family, so that he might be able to win certain benefits for Fang Zhiwen, instead of being easily pushed away by Zhu Zhi with a pretext like now, it is estimated that this matter will be completed by then, and there will be nothing to do with Fang Zhiwen.
Even if the Zhu family was afraid of reputation or Fang Zhiwen's strength at that time, they could give Fang Zhiwen certain benefits, but it was all a matter of no oil and water at the end of the soup, and Fang Zhiwen did not get any benefits at all from what he did this time.
'Buzz' 'Bang' 'Bang' bowstrings vibrated and the rain rumbled
"Haha Zhen Gongzi, you misunderstood, I didn't want to get any benefits from this matter from the beginning, just like you just said, this world is destined to rely on strength to speak, otherwise no matter how you cheat and cheat, there will always be a day of ruin. This sea ship and sea trade is a great fortune, but also a great disaster, people who have no strength want to get involved, it is really pure death. If nothing else, it's just aliens, can they easily give up the golden mountain of sea trade? ”
"Shhh None other than adults."
"No, don't think so badly of me, I don't just want to provoke the contradiction between the Jiangdong family and the aliens, this contradiction already exists, but the Jiangdong family has always underestimated the aliens, I just broke this matter in front of their eyes, so that they can see the truth of the matter clearly."
"My lord, this is the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain."
"Hehe, not exactly, I do hope that they can continue to fight each other so that we can profit from it."
"We?"
"Yes, we, although my strength is not enough to cooperate with the Zhu family or the Jiangdong family, but you Zhen Ergongzi, or the Zhen family, you can, and as a partner of Zhen Ergongzi, I naturally entered this interest chain, in fact, as long as I can solve my thirst for food, how to cooperate, how to participate in this interest chain, I don't care, at least not now."
Knowing what he needs, knowing what he can do, not doing things beyond his ability, but being able to leave an aftertaste for the future, Zhen Ergongzi's eyes narrowed, and he looked at Fang Zhiwen in a daze for a long time, and finally understood Fang Zhiwen's overall plan in this matter, in fact, Fang Zhiwen's plan is based on cooperating with himself, what if he doesn't cooperate?
Could it be that Fang Zhiwen has a way to force himself, and even force the Zhen family to cooperate with him? The foundation of the Zhen family is in Jizhou, but Fang Zhiwen is the Taishou of Fengning County in Youzhou, no matter what, he has no way to reach out to Jizhou? Is there anything else he can do?
Blinking his somewhat flattering eyes, Zhen Er Gongzi still decided to ask the words clearly first, and the province was uncomfortable in his heart: "The adults trust me so much?" ”
Fang Zhiwen looked at Zhen Ergongzi strangely: "Didn't you say that you would repay me with all your might?" Are you just talking? ”
"Ugh! However, as soon as I said this, the adults believed it, and based on this, they made this plan for sea trade? ”
"So you mean I shouldn't trust you? As for this sea trade plan, I didn't have anything to do with it originally, but now with the help of your second son Zhen, I can earn some money, if you don't help, then even if you owe me a personal favor, what can't I understand. ”
Fang Zhiwen replied casually as he continued to draw his bow, barely thinking, or had already thought about it.
Zhen Ergongzi was stunned again, frowning and thinking for a long time, although Fang Zhiwen said it very clearly, but he still couldn't be like Fang Zhiwen who didn't care that this golden mountain passed by by him like this, or compared with Fang Zhiwen, whether it was his open-mindedness or strategy and courage, he was too much different.
"Hey! Adults are broad-minded and admired. ”
Fang Zhiwen understood what Zhen Gongzi meant after a little thought, pouted his lips and smiled: "It's not that I'm broad-minded, but that the opportunities and positions of the two of us are different, you are a businessman's son, so you naturally pay more attention to practical profits, and it is normal to look at this big fortune and have hot eyes, and I am a general, and I value the swords and guns in my hands and the soldiers under my command more, so what you value is different from what I value, that's it." ”
Zhen Ergongzi thought about it, smiled with relief, and bowed his hand: "Your Excellency is wise, thank you for your teachings1."
"Hehe, don't you dare to be! So, is Zhen Gongzi willing to cooperate with this official? ”
"In the next place, only the adults and horses are the first."
"Okay, tomorrow, I'll trouble you to talk to the Zhu family about cooperation, in fact, the best way is to build a shipyard in Jizhou or Youzhou, there are big trees in the north, and the materials for shipbuilding are abundant, and the Zhen family should also build their own fleet, and the aliens can take advantage of the island, we can do the same, Zhen Gongzi, understand? Although I am not a general of the navy, I also know that no matter how strong the navy is, it still needs support on land. ”
Fang Zhiwen stood on the iron bow on the ground with one end of his hands in his hands, his eyes were projected into the dark night sky through the rain curtain under the eaves, and he slowly said the arrangement in his heart, but the faint words made Zhen Ergongzi's heart set off a monstrous wave.
Fang Zhiwen's implication was to let the Zhen family build up its own military strength, could it be that he had seen through the Zhen family's current strength was not enough to protect itself? Or do you have greater expectations for the Zhen family?
However, Fang Zhiwen's words are so tempting that Zhen Ergongzi can't at all, and he doesn't want to refuse, according to the island to self-control, this idea is too tempting, although the Zhen family is a giant businessman in Jizhou, but in the eyes of those traditional families, the Zhen family is like a fat sheep, and now the Zhen family can still be beautiful, the bigger reason may be that the Zhen family can still bring them enough benefits, but the more wealth the Zhen family accumulates, the more dangerous it is.
Therefore, the Zhen family has always sought to make a difference in their careers, but under the suppression of intentional or unintentional, the father of the second son of Zhen only served as a county magistrate, and although the second son of Zhen himself raised filial piety, he only had the actual position of a small official.
Therefore, Fang Zhiwen's words are like a magic spell, deeply imprinted in the heart of Zhen Ergongzi, the fleet, the navy, the island, and the huge wealth of the Zhen family, what does this mean? Fang Zhiwen laughed wildly in his heart! This means warlords! It means separation!
Fang Zhiwen didn't know when he had left, the rumbling sound of the rain woke up the pensive Zhen Ergongzi, looked left and right, except for his lonely figure under the swaying light, there was no one in the empty hall, and subconsciously tightened his clothes, Zhen Ergongzi shook his head with a wry smile, I'm afraid it will be another sleepless night tonight!
