Chapter 259: Promotion (2)
Fang Xin, I didn't expect you to blow Xiao so well! After a while, the two walked beside them and spoke. γLatest chapter reading. γ
Fang Xin looked at it, but he knew that it was He De, a descendant of the hereditary aristocratic earl of the He family, followed by one of his female distant relatives, Hong Li
He De's identity is not simple, he graduated from the Imperial Capital Central University (adapted from Tai Academy), and the wealth in his hands is also wrong, and he has the title of viscount (of course, this is not a lord, it is a property).
Hongli inherited her father's inheritance, owned a "shi", owned a large piece of land in the countryside, and had a stake in a textile factory.
The two of them have a certain relationship with Fang Xin and are more familiar.
"Just give it a try, what are you going to the imperial capital this time?" Fang Xin said with a faint smile, this body is the son of the Fang family, and he inherited half of his father's wealth, but when he inherited it, it was only two million silver yuan, and it turned to six million in three years, which is his ability.
Of course, this is also the reason why there is an emperor in the center, and the great government knows it, just like on the earth, some people know the inside information, and if you don't make money, you are incompetent, not because Fang Xin is very good at business.
"The imperial court built a new council, my grandfather reported to the imperial capital parliament, and we also went to see it, and I rarely went to the imperial capital Central University, and I also went to see my classmates."
"I see!" Fang Xin nodded, paused, and said, "This is the second session, right?" β
"Yes, the first councils at all levels were still a little empty, but the second session was much more substantial, and the Holy One is still intimate! Don't be evil for the things of the fourteenth year, well, Fang Xin, you are now in the title of knight, and you can also enter the Central Council of the Empire. He De said, "Are you interested?" If so, I can introduce my grandfather to you. β
"Nope. I am already a member of the Wanhua Prefecture Council. Pretty much this. That's enough. Fang Xin shook his head and said
In the spring of the fourteenth year of the following year. A palace coup involved many nobles. This thing. And there was no hype. But as a punishment. Twenty-seven nobles were cut to death. And the hereditary aristocratic class in this time. Lost the privilege of tax abatement
But in the following year. That is, in the fifteenth year of the following century. The emperor established a parliament. Nobles at all levels are abundant. Generally speaking. Hereditary nobility went directly to the Imperial Central Council. The following is divided into three levels: province, prefecture and county. It was filled by the non-hereditary aristocracy, who were responsible for overseeing all levels of government
Twenty years have passed. The old aristocracy weakened. The scholar looked up. If it continues. It will form a one-sided downward trend. Destroying the foundations. So at the disposal of the nobility. Dismantled the last core. and gave them sweet dates. It has been given the power to supervise all levels of government and officials
Although this provoked a strong opposition from the scholars. Newspapers in the areas controlled by the scholars strongly condemned them. But on the contrary. The vast number of people who are determined by wealth. They say that it is analogous to the county magistrate's rank. But there is not the slightest power - there is no power. There is a knighthood alone. It is also not enough to protect yourself
So this time there is a council. Transfer of part of the right to supervise. The response was unprecedented. Not only the old aristocracy was very pleased. I feel that the royal family has not forgotten them after all. And a large number of new nobility among the people. They have spoken in support. Let the old aristocratic and scholar class be cut off with the Tui En Order. Suddenly I found out. At the same time, I overwhelm my old opponent. Unleash more powerful monsters
From then on, the Imperial Historical Observatory was only an internal oversight, while the Parliament was an external oversight, and the aristocracy and the scholars were further restrained and antagonized against each other
It was only after the new capitalist aristocracy had mastered its enormous power that the so-called parliament came into being
Those who are good at fighting have no outstanding achievements, and Fang Xin has established a great fan, and it has been 280 years since it was completed
"Councilor of Wanhua Mansion, it's just the prefecture level, Mr. Fang, with your local and financial resources, even if you don't go to the central government, you can go to the provincial level." He De has a strong sense of centrality and hierarchy.
"No, when I arrived in Lanlin City, I was ready to participate in the voyage." Fang Xin replied.
"Voyage? Is it the third search fleet? β
The emperor discovered the silver mines of Tongmu Island, which was the envy of the whole world, and the nobles and the people organized a search fleet and began a formal search of the 50 kilometers of the ocean, which had previously been considered barren and dangerous, with few voyagers
The first and second voyages, mainly for an inventory of offshore kilometres, were supported by the Imperial Government, with the participation of government officials, who drew up a map of the near sea, and discovered many islands, but not yet the second Silver Island, which concealed great wealth
This is the third time, and it is said that it will go 1,000 kilometers to the sea, so the momentum is particularly huge, and it is difficult for the government and the aristocracy to support it, so a large amount of private capital is involved
"This is too dangerous, it is said that this voyage will last several months, far into the unpredictable land of the deep sea, the son of a daughter, can't sit down, why should Brother Fang go?"
In this kind of voyage, most of them send people away, but they will not go themselves.
Fang Xin smiled and didn't answer, this voyage, I'm afraid that I will encounter other continents, after all, according to my own distant view, basically the other continents are initially in place, the reason why it looms is because there is no communication yet, once the exchange begins, the whole world will immediately stabilize
Each continent has its own laws, but when they are mixed, they will interact with each other, but this exchange is not equal, although both exist, but there is also a bias
Dafan Continent, if you take the lead, you can also get a lot of benefits
So this time, Fang Xin must go
The three of them all knew each other, but they didn't know each other very well, and when they saw Fang Xin smiling and not answering, they didn't say much, chatted for a while, and then dispersed
Late at night, Fang Xin left the deck and returned to his cabin.
As soon as I woke up, I arrived in Lanlin City
When Fang Xin went ashore, he took a carriage and arrived at the Fang family's mansion in Lanlin City.
This mansion is now a garden villa in Jingjiandi, with three small buildings, surrounded by gardens, which is the property purchased by Fang Xin, not the original Fang family's real estate property
This villa is naturally managed by the Fang family, and the housekeepers are Yuan Shang and his wife, and when they arrived at the door, someone notified them, and after a while, Yuan Shang personally opened the door and greeted Fang Xin
"Young master, you're finally here!" Yuan Shang looked at Fang Xin with a concerned face, he looked at Fang Xin and said with a smile: "The last time I sent a telegram, I said that I would arrive the day before yesterday, but today, these days really make the old servant worried!" β
With the development of the mainland's economy and transportation, there is an urgent need for a communication tool that is not affected by the weather, has no time constraints, and can run faster than a train.
As a result, the cable telegraph was invented and soon found its application in government communications.
Each post station was also officially renamed the post office.
"Uncle Yuan bothered, in fact, there was nothing, just a two-day stop!" Fang Xin got out of the carriage and said.
"Voyage Exploration Bureau, did you send a post?" Fang Xin
, the first thing is to ask.
"Yes, in the study, it was said that the young master was invited to arrive at the club at nine o'clock in the first month of April."
"That's the day after tomorrow, I know, just take a break." Fang Xin smiled slightly and entered the small building
As a style influenced by the traverser, this small building is combined with classical art, the small building is elegant and luxurious, and the study is placed with fine rattan recliners, the sun shines up, and it is not too bright, which is very suitable for reading
There was no one around, Fang Xin stretched out a hand, his hand stretched out, and a faint golden light appeared, and for a moment, Fang Xin shook his head
The consequence of the promotion of the world is that the concentration tends to be material, and in this way, it will be more and more difficult for the supernatural powers to interfere in the world, and the power floating in the air that can be easily absorbed by the human body will become less and less
Although the world still has negative power, it is difficult to have a direct effect on matter
Even merit and luck can only affect the connection of fate in the underworld and give influence, and it is difficult to directly interfere with matter
Having said that, Fang Xin still took out a small seal
This seal is made of topaz, and the light reflected in the sunlight is particularly soft. It is engraved with very fine yin characters and symbols, and on the bottom of the seal, there is only one Taiji diagram
The so-called number of qi, qi is the element, and the number is the number or scale of your qi that can reach the earth
A person, or all things, always has their own lifespan, the length is different, and the number of fortunes is different, and the scale is not the same, so it forms a blessing and a blessing
When the number of qi is high, it will encounter lucky things, and when the number of qi is extremely low, it will encounter the so-called calamity, for example, a fish, when the luck is extremely low, if it is not caught, it can rise again, and it can continue to survive, but if it is caught when the luck is extremely low, it will die, and the number of qi will not have a chance to rebound
But no matter what point it is, with the passage of time, these qi numbers will continue to decrease, just as people are going to die, trees are going to rot, and stones are going to rot, and this is the real number of qi is exhausted
And the meaning of the suppression of the number of gases
Extending the overall lifespan and making the original 200 years become 500 years, this is to increase the thickness of the yuan capital of the number of qi, increase the scale of the number of fortunes, and make the originally mediocre now higher than the people, followed by the upper and lower limits
The lower limit is easy to understand, that is, the luck does not fall to the bottom, that is, there is a certain lower limit (the stop loss line) that is supported, so that there will not be too difficult "robbery"
Some people don't know the upper limit, but the sentence "climb high, fall miserably" should be known, if luck is higher than fate, the end is also tragic
This small seal is a magic weapon made by Fang Xin based on the above principles, which can suppress the number of qi
However, the so-called suppression of gas, the vast majority of them, refers to the incompleteness, should die or die, but its life expectancy has become longer, and the capacity cannot rise indefinitely, there are limits
This is the content of Taoism, in fact, there are all in the world, such as official titles, titles, and imperial positions, all of which are things that suppress the number of qi, and the sons of heaven in the past dynasties are not all true fates, but if they ascend the throne as emperors, unless the emperor is gone, no matter how the fortune of the individual evolves, they will be suppressed by this "artifact" and will not fall there
For another example, if someone is the governor of a province, then no matter how his fate evolves, as long as the official position is not removed, then your fall and rise will remain within a certain range, which is a public weapon
For example, if someone takes advantage of luck and earns 10 million silver yuan, and this person invests it cautiously, or simply keeps it in the bank to eat interest, as long as you don't go crazy and invest wildly, or encounter some financial storms, then you will not fall there in the rest of your life, no matter how your qi goes up and down, you will not fall there - worry-free food and clothing, cheerful mood, you can guarantee it, and this, and ensure your good health, etc
The principle of the Great Dao can be extremely deep, shallow or extremely shallow, and Fang Xinming is the same as the principle of luck, so that he can make this simple and ingenious magic weapon - if it is simple and profound, it is not the right way
In terms of Fang Xin's luck, there is no need for this, but because there are two doppelgangers, in order to avoid mutual interference, this time he did not carry any qi of his own, and inherited the qi of this body, so he made this seal to suppress the qi number
In the Heavenly Eye, the slightest auspicious qi belonging to this body, and even some families, is absorbed from its interior, and it is not leaked when it is idle, and it is not consumed by external forces, and the fluctuations are much less
And the money earned, the good deeds done, and the slightest merit hanging down from the void and pouring into the seal, but the quality is several levels worse than the merit of the origin of heaven and earth
It is beneficial to people and merit to people, and it is only rich and noble, but it still has a considerable effect on this body
If you look at this shipment, you can see a golden light running through, which shows that this voyage is protected by luck, and you can also take advantage of the time to absorb some luck
However, this does not guarantee absolute security
Fang Xin thought for a while, looked at the sword hanging on the wall again, thought for a moment, opened a drawer in the study, and took out a pistol
This pistol is also a front-loading pistol with a muzzle-loaded projectile, and the bullet is a paper bullet that can be loaded in one shot
As a nobleman, you have the right to carry a gun and a sword
The world is gradually materialized, and the supernatural powers are restrained, but martial arts and marksmanship will not be restrained, thinking of this, Fang Xin appeared with a smile
Calmed down and shouted: "Uncle Yuan! β
"Hey, young master, what are your orders?" The housekeeper next door, Yuan Shangying.
"Fetch me ten thousand pieces of silver, and ask for silver." Originally, paper money was mostly used, but if you go to other continents, it is still silver as hard currency
"Young master, there are five thousand silver yuan in the house, if you want to withdraw it now, there are five thousand, let the old servant run the bank once." The housekeeper Yuan Shang immediately responded and asked what it was for
A silver dollar, in fact, weighs about a gram, not a tael (although when the value of a tael is calculated), even so, 10,000 silver yuan, a kilogram in weight, must be carried up when you get on the boat, Fang Xin thought with a dumb smile.
"Okay, you can do it!" After giving the order, he was a little surprised to see that the housekeeper Yuan Shang had not left for a while
"Young master, you are going on a long voyage, and the old servant can't persuade you, but the sea is far away, and there are many people on the boat, do you want to bring a few people up to serve you? It's also a lot safer. Butler Yuan Shang said loyally.
This voyage, as long as it can reach the other continent, it will complete a great merit, Fang Xin just goes to see it, and then collects some merits, although it has a lot of merit now, but it will not be left behind
If so, what can a few servants do? The Fang family of this body in this world is not yet a family, and there is no such elite general, so he shook his head and said, "No need, you go and do something!"
