On the surface of the lake, which seemed dark and quiet in winter, the colorful feathers floated and moved, and Fang Guozhen waited patiently for a while before he accurately lifted the rod, and the rope brought out a black shadow that struggled and bounced.

This is a kind of black-backed crucian carp unique to Xuanwu Lake, which is delicious and scarce.

Carefully carrying the struggling crucian carp over and unhooking the hook, Fang Guozhen pretended to be proud and showed it to Zhu Yuan, and said with a smile: "Pingzhang, let's just say it, I have to be from a fisherman like me, and I am better at fishing." ”

Zhu Yuan also laughed.

However, this time, I can feel that compared with before, Fang Guozhen deliberately mentioned his background, obviously deliberately lowering his posture.

didn't let the other party bother to find a topic, Zhu Yuan said directly: "Old Fang, what's the matter, let's talk about it?" ”

Fang Guozhen re-hung the bait, threw out the fishing line, and after a little brewing, he still didn't dare to mention it directly, but said: "Pingzhang, this, take back Sichuan and Shu, our Daming land...... But it really surpassed Song Shihe. ”

Zhu Yuan still didn't understand where Fang Guozhen wanted to go for a while, but when he heard the words, he also sighed: "Yes, the sun and the moon reopened the Great Song Dynasty." ”

In the Song Dynasty, even if it was the most prosperous Northern Song Dynasty and the largest frontier, it was not as good as the current Ming Dynasty after the recovery of Shudi, not to mention that in the past history, the Ming Dynasty once expanded again.

And that's just the territory.

I remember once looking at a picture of the historical inheritance of Chinese civilization, one of which is a very important node, in the Yuan Dynasty, the orthodox Chinese civilization was almost squeezed to the point of dying, because the Yuan Dynasty did not take the initiative to accept the assimilation of Chinese civilization after foreign people entered the Central Plains like the Jin Liao or earlier Northern and Southern Dynasties, Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, etc., but adopted a strong suppressive attitude.

It can be said that if this state of affairs lasts for two or three hundred years, under the Yuan Dynasty's squeezing policy of ranking the Han and Nan people as the inferior, the Chinese civilization is likely to be completely annihilated just as the ancient Indian civilization was completely annihilated after the Aryan invasion.

However, fortunately, it did not.

Because of Daming.

The sun and the moon reopened the Great Song Dynasty.

What opened was not only a piece of land, but also the revival of the entire Chinese civilization.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, why was there a saying of 'dying in the world', because at that time, it was thought that it would be a comeback similar to the Mengyuan Dynasty, but in fact, the Manchus were both smart and lucky to choose the active assimilation policy again, and in the end, even their own emperors did not speak Manchu, to some extent, the Qing Dynasty also had a considerable Ming Dynasty for more than 200 years.

In short, is all this happening, is it necessary?

Matter.

On Zhu Yuan's side, Fang Guozhen heard the young man Pingzhang's chatter, he didn't think about it so much, but nodded again and again: "The sun and the moon reopen the Great Song Heaven, this sentence ...... It's good, it's good. ”

Zhu Yuan just turned his head to glance at someone, and then turned back to the fish float outside the cabin, which was always moving.

Fang Guozhen also continued: "This ...... After destroying the Xia Kingdom, the world will be unified, and it will ...... in the future I'm afraid I'm going to put knives and guns into Kuma and put them in Nanshan? ”

When Fang Guozhen said this, Zhu Yuan only reacted.

The knives and guns are put into storage, and the horses are put in Nanshan.

Then, it's usually 'the cunning rabbit dies, the lackey cooks'.

The lackeys are all going to be cooked, and some guy who can probably only survive the 'cunning rabbit', this is ...... Scared.

Smiling, Zhu Yuan said: "Lao Fang, I have learned about your previous deeds in Zhejiang, you are a person who seeks stability, you have no big ambitions, and you can be regarded as knowing the current affairs, so you can be here." However, the ancestors are eloquent, and now, taking Xishu, the Ming Dynasty has only restored the old land of the Song Dynasty, but this is far from enough. Daming's goal is to chase the Han and Tang Dynasties, and even eventually surpass the Han and Tang Dynasties, if you want to do this, you must not only work together, but also cannot complete it without the accumulation of one or two generations or even more time. ”

Zhu Yuan did not directly answer Fang Guozhen's question, however, Fang Guozhen was greatly relieved after hearing this.

These words are saying that His Majesty the Emperor is eloquent and strategic, and the reopening of the Great Song Dynasty is not the ultimate goal of the Ming Dynasty, chasing and even surpassing the Han and Tang Dynasties is the goal, and if you want to do this, it takes time and manpower, so Lao Zhu is therefore impossible to be like some emperors in the previous dynasty, cunning rabbits to death, lackeys to cook.

Because you have to use people.

And there's also the key to it, which is to last for a generation or two or more.

Fang Guozhen has also been quietly observing and thinking about it for the past year, and said that the eldest son took up the Yinghai Division, which was unprecedented in the previous dynasty, and achieved great results, and it is still continuing.

This is the most direct evidence.

Not to mention the first 'three-year plan' that has been discussed for a long time and finally finalized recently, and all kinds of ambitions.

Fang Guozhen can also deduce some conclusions as a result.

However, the derivation is the derivation, the derivation is a hundred times, and there is no one who can rest assured that there is a certain teenager who has a sentence of accuracy!

Since Zhu Yuan's strategy woke up Fang Guozhen, so that the Fang family was stable, of course, as well as Zhu Yuan's performance over the past year, and even His Majesty's favor, all of these have made Fang Guozhen absolutely convinced of a certain young man Pingzhang, and even, the entire Fang family is actually attached to Zhu Yuan.

Fang Guozhen never forgot his statement when he told his eldest son to be in Mingzhou, even if Zhu Yuan later recognized his ancestors and returned to his ancestors and became the nephew of His Majesty the Emperor, he was not shaken by the subtlety of Zhu Yuan's identity.

This thigh is worth hugging.

Zhu Yuan looked at Fang Guozhen's relieved expression, but remembered the past.

In the original timeline, in the southeast of the town, there were two families that ended better when the Ming Dynasty was founded, one was Fang Guozhen, and the other was He Zhen, who was also named 'Dongguan Bo'. If there were no ups and downs in the last years of Hongwu, the two families should have been able to pass on their wealth in peace and stability.

Unfortunately, history is always full of uncertainties.

Zhu Yuan only remembered that the He Zhen family was all involved in the Lanyu case, but it was the Fang family, and after Fang Guozhen's death, there were not many records.

Therefore, it is inevitable to think of the present.

Can all of this really be done as expected?

Zhu Yuan believes that history must have changed, and it is not much worse to say that it is unrecognizable. Then, the problem arises, the subsequent trend of history is not necessarily only in a satisfactory direction, but also may be more unpredictable because of some unpredictable emergencies.

And, implicate yourself.

It's distressing to think about.

Fang Guozhen got the words from Zhu Yuan and relaxed, but soon found that the young man Pingzhang next to him seemed to be distressed, and happened to catch a black carp again, so he couldn't help but find a topic and said: "Pingzhang, I heard that you are here...... Have you made a fortune recently? ”

If you can't think of the result, you can't think about it, Zhu Yuan retracted his thoughts and looked at Fang Guozhen, who took off a big crucian carp again: "You are well-informed?" ”

Zhu Yuan didn't expect that some things in Shangshanju and Zhiyongzhai would be airtight, but he didn't expect it to be so soon.

"Hey, the relationship between our two families ......" Fang Guozhen made a small statement again, and then said: "Anyway, I look a little red." Pingzhang, I just thought, I still have some savings at home, you ...... If there are other suitable livelihoods, can you take me with you, and I can also do some business, so as not to be too idle on weekdays, which ...... If you earn it, you can also leave some savings for your children and grandchildren? ”

Zhu Yuan laughed: "It's really a coincidence that you ask this, there happens to be a livelihood, and I just discussed it with my ancestors at noon." ”

Discuss business with His Majesty the Emperor?

At first glance, Fang Guozhen felt a little surprised, but it was not surprising to think about the composition of the shares of Shangshanju.

It's just that the business discussed with His Majesty the Emperor can have its own share?

Thinking like this, Fang Guozhen showed a curious expression: "Pingzhang, tell me carefully?" ”

Zhu Yuan pointed to the north: "I plan to build a commercial street." ”

Then he roughly elaborated on the concept of commercial streets, which are basically the ones I talked about with Lao Zhu before.

After hearing this, Fang Guozhen was quite interested, and nodded again and again: "Then I must be a shareholder, no matter how much money I have, it doesn't matter if I lose money or make money, this ...... Benefit the country and the people. ”

It is beautiful to say, but in fact, being able to do business with the royal family is something that many people can't ask for.

Because, as long as it is done, it is equivalent to getting closer to the royal family.

Zhu Yuan saw Fang Guozhen's eagerness to try, obviously he really had no ambition, so he asked for a family to be safe and stable, so he went one step further and said: "In this case, Lao Fang, I also discussed with my ancestor about a 'family asset management group', which is roughly that in the future, each family will set up a similar group...... Well, a lower-grade company can also be a company, such a company needs to be registered with the Ministry of Commerce, subject to the supervision of equity, taxation and other aspects, but at the same time, it can also do all kinds of business more justifiably. Well, my thoughts, you can set an example, when the time comes, the policy will come out, and you will be the first to register one with the Ministry of Commerce, which will also give a good impression to your ancestors. ”

Zhu Yuan understood it, and Fang Guozhen also understood it at once.

The first reaction is hesitation.

In this land, for thousands of years, it has been important to pay attention to the fact that wealth is not exposed, which ...... Registering one's own assets publicly is too subversive.

However, it was only a short hesitation, Fang Guozhen still nodded quickly: "When will it start, just let me know?" ”

Fang Guozhen understood that this matter would definitely be able to please the emperor, but if he was too active, he would definitely make the officials and nobles unaccustomed to it. However, he did not forget Zhu Yuan's original reminder that all he needed to do was to please His Majesty the Emperor alone, instead of trying his luck everywhere.

After that, it worked.

This time, too.

Think of His Majesty the Emperor...... Think about your former self again, the gap, you can't be unconvinced.

Zhu Yuan saw that Fang Guozhen's promise was quite simple, so he reminded again: "It's just that the family asset management company is registered and subject to all aspects of supervision in subsequent business affairs, it doesn't mean that you should declare how many catties and taels you have in the treasury at home." ”
