Chapter 249: Confusion (I)

The letter walked in the corridor, suddenly, remembering the replacement of the Dafan Sheji, the time, at that time, it was really the beginning of all things, like the rising sun, now, the court has become old, the old feather is withering, the new feather is not abundant, and the authority is declining day by day, it is really "Si Chuan has passed", this kind of mixed feelings of melancholy......

A trace of cold wind fell on his face, and Fang Xin was refreshed and dissolved these feelings.

Entering the inner door, I saw a few maids along the way, all of them came forward to salute, Fang Xin waved his hand, signaled, and then went inside, it was the courtyard of the concubine, a daughter-in-law was under the dripping eaves, fanning the stove to make tea, seeing him coming, got up and saluted: "Slave Qiu Ju, I have seen the prince!" ”

This daughter-in-law is also the foreman's eldest maid, she promised a person in the house last year, and now she is still in her old position, Fang Xin smiled: "How is the concubine doing today?" ”

"The concubine is happy today, and she is calling the side concubine and them to come over, and the county lord is all there, talking!" As she spoke, she lifted the thick curtain and invited Fang Xin in.

Fang Xin went in and saw the concubine and a few female dependents looking at a pair of words.

Fang Xin stepped forward to take a look, only to see that this book was like a dragon, vigorous, and full of charm inside, Fang Xin saw it, and couldn't help but praise it: "Good calligraphy!" ”

Everyone turned their faces together, and seeing that it was Fang Xin, his sister, and even the two side concubines, all of whom had to salute, Fang Xin waved his hand and said, "There are no outsiders here, so there is no need to be like this." ”

Saying, take a closer look, see that this scroll is very well maintained, the space is pressed with more than ten stamps, goodbye inscription, is a smile, said: "It turned out to be Zhang Chengdao's calligraphy, and he is a famous artist." ”

The concubine took off her reading glasses and said, "The prince is here, this is your Zhao Xueruo sent it, it is said that it cost a thousand silver yuan, saying that it is to give me a birthday, you can take a look." ”

"Yes! Look like this. Presumably the real thing. He has a heart! Fang Xin just took a closer look. He said: "Zhang Chengdao's calligraphy is a generation of masters. Now the number of years is less. It's only been a hundred years. Otherwise, it will be worth more! ”

After speaking. Retracted his gaze.

"Since it's the prince, it's true. It must be true. Come on. Put it away. and put it in the pavilion. The concubine commanded.

Actually, the concubine. He was only about forty years old. This is also the reason why the first generation of county kings gave birth to children in their thirties.

Someone else took it. The concubine smiled. Looking at his son. In a consultative tone, he said, "The prince hasn't eaten yet." Let's go together today! ”

This son has been extraordinary since he was a child. Slightly older. There is a kind of majesty. Even motherhood feels that it is difficult to reprimand at will.

Fang Xin listened, smiled, and said, "Of course! ”

As he spoke, he saw a few maids and daughters-in-law in the back, carrying the food box and serving the food on the cloth table.

The dishes are not much, but they are very exquisite, and the hot pot is placed in the middle, and the chicken is fried in the palace, the bamboo shoot chicken, and the tofu are ...... Hot and fragrant, they sat down

Of course, the concubine was in the center, Fang Xin sat with him, the two side concubines, as well as a county lord and a second son, all sat on it, the weather was still cold, eating and eating, the atmosphere gradually became lively, and the concubine said: "This year is good, the house is also more comfortable, is this business still profitable?" ”

"In this world's industry and commerce, there is oil and water, most of them are controlled by nobles, this Zhao Xue can earn four times the profit a year, and he is also a talent, I also appreciate it very much, but the account has to be verified. Someone was already sent the day before yesterday! Fang Xin said lightly: "He did a good job, I am not stingy with rewards, from top to bottom in the palace, there are thirty-one officials, although they are only grades, not in real power, but they are also born, and they should be rewarded with a draw, if it is not good, it is useless to beat, then kill it." ”

Fang Xin's tone was indifferent, but if he wanted to say that he wanted to kill someone, he couldn't hear it at all, and the people in the room were all choked by these words, and a chill surged up.

If you want to talk about killing, a hundred years ago, what was it for the prince to kill someone, but now, it is rare.

After a while, the concubine said: "You are the prince, naturally under your control, but this killing is still more serious, kill it, this person's head will not grow back." ”

"Mother's teachings are yes!" Fang Xin smiled and didn't say much.

The concubine didn't talk about it, turned her face, and asked in a whisper: "Sister Qi, there is a lot of room in the house this year, and many things can be done, do you have any plans?" ”

The Qi family had long known that this was meant for Fang Xin, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and said: "It's okay to take care of the house, this is all thanks to you and the prince's blessing, but my second son ......"

"Oh, East Germany is also fourteen this year, and it will be fifteen next year, does the Zongren Mansion have anything to say?" The concubine asked, when she is fifteen, she can't live in the palace, and she has to move out of the palace.

"According to the imperial court system, you can reduce the second-class title to a marquis, and there is also a portion, but ......," Qi said with low eyebrows.

"I know this, how can I not take care of the ground now." The concubine sighed, turned to her son and said, "You are the prince, do you have any regulations?" ”

Fang Xin couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, and then he smiled and said, "Of course. ”

His eyes were dark, he thought for a while, and said: "Li Dongde is also fourteen this year, fifteen next year, and he should also plan, and his sister is thirteen years old, this matter is also going to be done, I sent Ren Zhi to do it, he is the father-in-law who came out of the palace with his father back then, he understands these things best, and some people know them, so it is naturally convenient for him to do it - I am the king of the iron hat county, and I can directly play the heavens, those people from the Zongren Mansion."

It was too presumptuous, so I asked him to bring six thousand silver yuan, and this matter could be done together

Suddenly, the concubines on both sides, together with their younger sisters, immediately saluted: "Thank you, Lord Wang." ”

"This thing is as it should be, I can't talk about any thanks, but now the county king is only 30,000 silver yuan, the prince is only 10,000 silver yuan, the marquis is only 5,000, and the county lord is equivalent to the earl, only 3,000, this is a detailed point to keep a family, but it is not enough to live a better life." Fang Xin said calmly: "And the second level of treatment, the son of the next generation of younger brothers, only the viscount, will take a thousand silver yuan, and the sister's son will only have five hundred silver yuan, this is a year's salary, it is a little low, so I calculated, when the business of the chamber of commerce is better, everyone will take some shares, and there will be a place to come in the future." ”

Fang Xin opened a firm, one is relying on the iron hat Wang Di brand, the other is relying on the ability to recognize people and employ people, although everyone looked at the red eyes, but no one thought about dividing it, just hoped to continue some business in it, and it was done, hearing this, I couldn't help but be surprised and happy, and hurriedly thanked him.

"As for the matter of leaving the house and setting up a family, when the name of the court is determined, Yu Lu will take it, and it can be done." Fang Xin thought about it and said.

My sister, who is only thirteen years old now, although her appearance is very beautiful, but her body has not yet grown up, but she is also silent and never speaks, which makes it difficult to impress.

It is enough for his own family to advance 6,000 silver yuan and share some shares, but the money for this mansion does not have to be paid by himself.

After eating, after saying a few words, Fang Xin took his leave.

When I got outside, I saw a middle-aged man come forward: "Say hello to the prince." ”

When Fang Xin saw it, he couldn't help but smile and said, "Jiang Zhong, how are things going?" ”

Jiang Zhong said solemnly: "Back to the prince, it has been done, under the subordinates, there are some chickens and dogs and thieves, and it is not possible to do other things, this is placed in the commercial house, and some things are checked, it is all smooth." ”

This Jiang Zhong is not an idle person, he is a person in the martial arts, and he is also somewhat famous on the road, and he has hundreds of people under him, and he was later arrested for his crimes, Fang Xin secretly received it from his subordinates, and he was saved, so he naturally worked under Fang Xin's door.

"Well, the water is clear, there is no fishing, I understand this truth, so you just need to report his affairs, if there is any mistake, in addition to what to do, what to do, report it, I will naturally do it, you don't need to care." Fang Xin said lightly, now the competition between the nobles is also fierce, if Zhao Xue shows his talent, rolls up the money, and takes refuge in other nobles, he, the new county king, may not be able to hold back, and may not be able to find the field, after all, it is not the same time.

Politics is becoming more and more corrupt and loose, and economic power is shown to be very good, and when it is impossible to kill with violence, economic and cultural power is becoming more and more important.

Some veteran aristocrats, with a two-hundred-year-old foundation, are about to become behemoths, not only can the workers who are pressed can't breathe, but even the imperial court feels heavy.

Fortunately, he also set the title of nobles not to join the army, and also set the national policy of the imperial examination of scholars, doctors, and doctors, and now the military and bureaucratic parts are still so-so, otherwise it would really be a monopoly on the aristocracy.

Three hundred years ago, Fang Xin could rely on Confucian articles to launch the six books of the Li family, which moved the world, and the times have developed to the present, but I am afraid that this article is not even enough as a stepping stone!

Fang Xin didn't know why, he actually thought of this, laughed a little, and said, "You did a good job, come in!" ”

As he spoke, Fang Xin casually took out five silver yuans, which were rolled up in light cyan mulberry paper, a roll of twenty silver yuan, sealed with red wax, and said: "This is your reward, take it!" ”

When he went out, it was raining outside again, Fang Xin opened the window and sat down on the side.

The rain slowly became heavier, and the cool rain sprinkled all over the sky and the sky, carrying a chill. The sky and the earth were white, as if the whole world was flooded in the rain, Fang Xin took a deep breath and felt this blankness

For this world, it is absolutely impossible to go back to the present, but to move forward, and not know what the future is, it is as vast as the rain now

Chen Yonggui rebelled, and the war lasted for eight years, causing 20 million people to die, and it took the imperial court 200 million taels of silver to encircle and suppress it, which can be said to be the last of the traditional peasant uprisings

This Chen Yonggui actually came into being, he is the last batch of traditional emperors, there is an emperor's spirit, otherwise there would not be such a big momentum, as far as he knows, he has also gathered a large number of talents

But this man killed the nobles, killed the corrupt officials, destroyed the factories and burned the shops wherever he went, but the vested interests of the aristocratic capitalist class united and tried their best to strangle them, so they were flattened in eight years

Of course, in the sixteen provinces, the aristocratic class was also severely hit, and it could not recover in a short time, which was originally an opportunity, but unfortunately the imperial court had no clue at this time

All in all, although Fang Xin knew it in his heart, he also felt this confusion - where is the future?

This is the confusion of people of insight in the country now

As for human rights and democracy, in this country with deep-rooted traditions, there is no such thing as on the earth, where foreign countries invade China and break the myth of the Celestial Empire, no matter how much they publicize it, it will be useless and will not ascend to the platform of Yazhi.

The ups and downs of history, the rise and fall of confusion (to be continued, if you want to know what will happen next, please log in.)
