"Today, I will take advantage of Dugu Bo to ascend to the position of the patriarch of the Dugu family, and solemnly explain it to everyone present."

"The cost of investing in a road is one-tenth of the cost of building a road, but I guarantee that this money can be returned in the follow-up fees, and even make a lot of money, because if a road is charged, it can be collected for 50 years, up to 100 years, and the price of the toll is set by the road builder."

"As for the loan to build a community, the loan money needs to check your property to ensure that you can repay the money borrowed so much, and the interest and term of these need to be discussed at Huaxia Qianzhuang on the spot, but I can guarantee that as long as the loan is reasonable, the money can be stayed."

Fang Yuan said loudly.

The crowd was louder.

I am thinking about whether I can pay back in 50 years and 100 years, etc.

Another family patriarch wanted to ask other questions, but was interrupted by Fang Yuan.

"Today is Dugu Bo's inheritance of the patriarch's position, so we won't talk about these topics too much."

"If you're interested, you can come to me tonight, and we'll have a meeting to discuss the specific plot."

Fang Yuan said with a smile.

Let them think about whether it's worth it.

Give them a little time, so that these old foxes don't hesitate.

Now with Dugu Bo's cooperation, many families will respond after the news spreads.

There are so many families in the world, not all families are afraid of the five surnames and seven hopes, in the face of the opportunity, there will be people who want to fight.

Subsequently, Fang Yuan and Dugu Bo signed a grand agreement, reaching an agreement on behalf of the two parties, and will cooperate with the imperial court to build roads and communities.

On this day, the change of patriarch of the Dugu family spread all over the country.

Not long after, the original patriarch Dugu Xiongba died, and it was also rumored to be heard.

For a while, everyone speculated, and many people thought that Dugu Bo had killed Dugu Xiongba.

Among them, some people said that they heard a noise coming from Dugushi's house that night, and the sound was very loud.

As a result, some people suspected Fang Yuan who appeared in Luoyang, and suspected that Fang Yuan supported Dugu Bo with the legendary fire gun.

Only Huogong can intimidate the clan soldiers of the Dugu family in a short period of time, so that Dugu Bo can successfully ascend to the throne.

There are different opinions on this, but there is no accurate answer, and almost all of them are guesses.

This night.

The Dugu family held a meeting.

The people who came were all from Luoyang's family, and there were more than a dozen of them.

Among them, including the Dugu family, there are three first-class families and ten small and medium-sized families.

"You may not know, but my promise to Dugu Bo is to let the Dugu family surpass the five surnames and seven hopes."

As soon as Fang Yuan opened his mouth, it was Wang Bang.

Except for Dugu Bo, who was calm, everyone else was shocked.

The five surnames and seven hopes are all unsurpassable existences in their hearts, and they would rather offend the court than offend the five surnames and seven hopes.

"I think you've also heard that building roads and communities will not involve the five surnames and seven hopes."

"Why don't you let the five surnames and seven hopes participate? Because they are too powerful, and if they are involved in it, they will all surpass the imperial court. ”

"And why do I say that participating in road construction and community building can become an opportunity to surpass the five surnames and seven hopes?"

Fang Yuan said slowly.

Looking at the faces of the family elders present, he sighed in his heart.

The five surnames and seven hopes are the five surnames and seven hopes, which make the world's clans respected and feared.

"Fang Shilang, what do you say?"

Many representatives of the Maison asked why.

Although they are full of fear of the five surnames and seven hopes.

But the desire for family development outweighed the fear.

If you can really make the development of the family go beyond the five surnames and seven hopes, why can't you try?

"This will be explained by Dugu Bo for everyone."

Fang Yuan looked at Dugu Bo on the side and said.

Since Dugu Bo has been promoted to the position, he has to be allowed to perform more.

I don't know what his status is in the hearts of the family, but it's good to mean it myself.

The eyes of the families shifted from Fang Yuan's body to Dugu Bo's body.

"There's actually a very important point here, buying land."

Dugu Bo said slowly.

Explain the part and all of what Fang Yuan told him before.

After listening to Dugu Bo's words, the eyes of the families present lit up.

Many of their families have their own roots, and their roots are almost their territory.

In Luoyang City, they are gathered together, but in other places, it is their real main vein.

If according to Dugu Bo's words, then they can or really can surpass the five surnames and seven hopes.

After all, the land in many places belongs to the imperial court, and it is not a simple matter for them to want to annex.

But if there is the support of the imperial court, and the place is vigorously developed, that land is valuable.

They know both valuable land and barren land, and they know how important it is.

"You can think about it, but you only have two days to think about it."

"And the number of places is limited, and after the number of people who have decided to participate is reached, no more people will be accepted."

Fang Yuan spoke again.

The number limit is deliberately spoken out to scare them.

The more people support it, the easier things will be, and Fang Yuan won't be unaware of this.

"Fang Shilang, why do you want to limit the number of people?"

"Isn't it easier to build roads and communities with more people?"

Someone quickly found out about this question and asked in confusion.

Everyone looked at Fang Yuan with different expressions, wondering if Fang Yuan would deceive them.

"You'll know if you think about it."

"The imperial court wants to cultivate a new family and compete with the five surnames and seven hopes."

"There are too many families, and the court can't be busy, and they can't support so many families."

Fang Yuan explained.

"I see."

"Fang Shilang, although we want to participate, what if we are targeted by the five surnames and seven hopes?"

Someone asked again.

They want their family to develop beyond the five surnames and seven hopes.

But among them, they will definitely be hit by the five surnames and seven hopes, can they resist the five surnames and seven hopes?

These words asked the thoughts of the people and asked their scruples.

"There are two workarounds here."

"First, everyone who cooperates with the imperial court to build roads and communities will become a team, and the people in the team support each other and support each other, and I believe that the five surnames and seven hopes will be fearful."

"Second, in my own name, I promise that I will provide you with armed protection, and I will help you solve any difficulties involving force."

"In addition, insert a digression, what I said in Luoyang only represents myself, not the imperial court."

Fang Yuan said slowly.

Everyone almost wanted to laugh when they heard Fang Yuan's armed protection.

After all, they know how strong the force of the five surnames and seven hopes is.

But suddenly thinking of the powerful weapon in Fang Yuan's hand, they endured it.

And felt that Fang Yuan should really have that kind of confidence to protect them by force.

If you think about the change of the patriarch of the Dugu family, you will know that it will only take one night to change the dynasty.

However, they obviously overestimated Fang Yuan, Fang Yuan was just to deter the clan soldiers last night, and the rest was done by Dugu Bo.

"Fang Shilang, don't you represent the imperial court, only yourself?"

Someone asked.

Although they are only there to make money.

But Fang Yuan himself is still the imperial court, and the difference is quite big.

"You can just take care of yourself."

Fang Yuan said with a smile.

There is no specific explanation.

Everyone looked at each other and finally understood.

It was the imperial court that didn't want to offend the five surnames and Qiwang, so Fang Yuan stood up and presided.

"Alright, that's all for the meeting, let's disperse."

"I will go back to Chang'an City tomorrow, if any of you are willing to cooperate, go to Chang'an City to sign a contract with me."

Fang Yuan said with a smile.

It's been a few days since I left Chang'an City, and I have to go back to see Du Miaoyan's situation.

Moreover, Fang Yuan wanted to let the families present know that even without them, he could find a family to cooperate with.

"In such a hurry?"

"Fang Shilang, will you go back two days later?"

"It's rare for you to come, we do our best to be a landlord."

The families are really in a hurry.

They want to go back and discuss before deciding whether to cooperate or not.

But Fang Yuan would go back tomorrow, and they simply didn't have enough time to discuss.

But Fang Yuan just went back, could it really be said that there was a quota limit?

"No, thank you."

"The slut is pregnant, so she has to go back."

Fang Yuan shook his head and refused to keep them.

This was what Fang Yuan wanted to see, so he couldn't stay.

Everyone regretted it, but when they heard Fang Yuan mention Du Miaoyan, it was not good to force him to stay.

After a while, everyone dispersed, and Fang Yuan stayed at Dugu's house and was entertained by Dugu Bo.

"Lord Fang, when will we start working together?"

Dugu Bo asked.

He wanted to cooperate with Fang Yuan immediately.

Buy important land, as well as choose the best road.

Now he has just sat on the position of the head of the Dugu family, and he is not yet stable.

At this time, it is necessary to have deeper cooperation with Fang Yuan in order to get Fang Yuan's support.

As for the stability within the clan, if you can distract yourself, you just need to find your second brother and put him under house arrest.

"If you're in a hurry, build a road first, and build a road from Luoyang City to Chang'an City."

Fang Yuan thought for a while and said.

It would also be good for him to start immediately.

Since Dugu Bo is so knowledgeable, then I will satisfy him.

"How much do you want to invest?"

Dugu Bo's eyes lit up suddenly.

Luoyang City and Chang'an City are two big cities.

If the two cities succeed in opening the road, then there will definitely be no shortage of people.

The more people flow, the more money you will receive in the future, and the payback time will be faster.

"I'm not sure about this yet, so let someone calculate how long it is for you and how much the total cost needs to be invested."

Fang Yuan shook his head and said.

How far from Luoyang City to Chang'an City is uncertain.

And these things are no longer up to him, but to Hongxu Qingyuan and Xue Jiaoyan.

"How about starting first?"

"The total cost and investment are calculated and I will make up for it?"

Dugu Bo thought about it and said in a deep voice.

Since the cooperation has been decided, it is the same at all times.

Such a good path, he can't let others get ahead of him.

"It's not impossible."

"Since you're in a hurry, then ask someone to start working here."

"Starting from the official road, expand the width of it to become four horse-drawn carriages walking side by side."

Fang Yuan glanced at Dugu Bo and smiled.

It can be seen that Dugu Bo is in a hurry.

"Okay."

"I'll arrange for someone to do it later."

Dugu Bo has no opinion.

Subsequently, Fang Yuan said some precautions to him.

Originally, Fang Yuan wanted to hand over these projects to his own people.

Of course, his own people definitely can't do so much, but the imperial court has an army.

In the case of the imperial army, the money first entered the treasury from Dugu Bo and the like, and then to the hands of the soldiers, and the treasury was equivalent to filling a part of the money into it.

Next, Fang Yuan rested for one night, and left Luoyang City after breakfast the next day.

Before leaving, the two medium-sized family patriarchs found Fang Yuan and signed a cooperation agreement with Fang Yuan.

Hurrying up, Fang Yuan returned to Chang'an City in more than a day and learned about the situation in Chang'an City.

"Hehe, are you going to start talking about me again?"

Fang Yuan said with a smile.

His affairs in Luoyang City were reported.

There was a voice in Chang'an City, saying that he brought a fire gun to destroy Dugu Xiongba.

"Do you want to launch something to sell and divert the people's voice?"

Du Miaoyan suggested.

She saw that the public opinion was not big yet, so she waited for Fang Yuan to come back and deal with it.

"No, now there is more shocking news coming out soon."

Fang Yuan said with a smile.

Subsequently, Fangyuan Cement Plant recruited a large number of temporary workers in the name of the plant.

Temporary workers are priced the same as regular workers, with the same food and lodging, but they are no longer recruited after the temporary work is completed.

As the news broke, it became known that Fang Yuan was going to build the road again, and there were many responders, because the cement factory had a high salary and very good food.

Originally, he regretted not joining the Fangyuan factory, but at this time, he no longer regretted it, and responded immediately, and the local people in Fangyuan all screamed for the job, saying that they were willing to endure hardships.

A recruitment instantly crushed Fang Yuan's unfavorable news and caused a great shock.

Afternoon.

Fang Yuan returned to work in the household department.

"Yo, Fang Shilang is back."

Cui Zhentang just happened to meet Fang Yuan, and said in a strange way.

"Where are you going?"

Fang Yuan smiled indifferently.

The two stood politely at the doorway.

"Go and walk the relationship, save some people from taking my place!"

Cui Zhentang said with a smile.

The eyes staring at Fang Yuan were particularly sharp.

He had already received news from the clan that Fang Yuan and Li Shimin had reached some agreements.

Fang Yuan went to Luoyang City and reached an agreement with the Dugu family in order to compete for his position as the head of the household department.

In this regard, Cui Zhentang was very angry, so in the past few days, he has been exchanging feelings with various Shangshu and waiters.

"The one that has the most to do is the one above everyone."

"Cui Shilang, go ahead and see who will kill the deer in the end."

Fang Yuan smiled slightly.

Turning a blind eye to Cui Zhentang's angry gaze.

"We'll see!"

Cui Zhentang was very angry.

He naturally knew that the emperor was the one who played a key role.

But with Tang Jian's recommendation, and then ask some people of comparable status to recommend it, then the emperor is not easy to refute the opinions of the ministers.

Fang Yuan smiled slightly, staggered away from Cui Zhentang, and returned to his office.

As Fang Yuan returned to work again, the atmosphere in the household department changed again.

Now it is no secret that it is rumored that Fang Yuan and the Emperor have reached some agreement.

The officials who were angry with Fang Yuan's yin and yang before now regretted it to death, for fear that Fang Yuan would really sit in that position.

Originally, he worked with Fang Yuan, because after learning that Cui Zhentang was about to be promoted to the head of the household department, he immediately favored Cui Zhentang, and now he regrets dying.

They immediately reported to Fang Yuan in order to ask for Fang Yuan's forgiveness.

With Fang Yuan's return, the dark tide of Chang'an City surged.
