Although Fang Yuan's initial idea was to leave the next day.

But Fang Yuan couldn't resist Gentle Township, so he didn't leave until three days later.

The main thing is that the service of Hongfu and Qing Yuan is too powerful, and Fang Yuan can't think about it.

Noon on the third day.

Fang Yuan and Du Miaoyan took the specialties of the exquisite country and left under the farewell of Hongxu and Qing Yuan.

On the carriage, Fang Yuan leaned on Du Miaoyan's beautiful legs, closing his eyes and recuperating.

"Husband, are you tired?"

Du Miaoyan said suddenly.

"Huh? What do you mean? ”

Fang Yuan opened his eyes and didn't react for a while.

"Hongxu and Qing Yuan together, I see that you have black eyes."

Du Miaoyan said sourly.

In the past three days, she didn't bother Fang Yuan and Hongxu Qingyuan.

Thinking that it is rare for them to meet, and I don't know when we will be able to meet in the future, I give them more time.

But seeing the three of them glued together like paint, Du Miaoyan was still a little sour.

"Nonsense, how could I be tired, believe it or not, I won't let you get off the carriage now?"

Fang Yuan suddenly sat up and said angrily.

But before he finished speaking, Fang Yuan felt a sense of weakness.

"Hmph, I've been practicing martial arts since I was a child, so I can't see that you're tired?"

Du Miaoyan glanced at Fang Yuan, and the small fist punched Fang Yuan's abdomen.

The next moment, Fang Yuan sighed, felt his body soft, and lay back in Du Miaoyan's arms.

Fang Yuan suddenly felt embarrassed, turned his head to the side, and looked at Du Miaoyan embarrassedly.

Indeed, Fang Yuan was a little tired, and he felt a little empty.

The main thing is that the red floc and the young lady are very powerful.

The two of them are not like Du Miaoyan and Su Ziqing who can't let go.

gave Fang Yuan an unprecedented enjoyment, and he couldn't help but be tired for a while.

Next, there was some embarrassment inside the carriage.

I don't know how long it was, but the carriage suddenly stopped.

"Master, someone is in the way, suspected of us Tang people!"

Xue Rengui reported outside.

When Fang Yuan heard this, he immediately turned over and got up and walked out of the carriage.

It's too embarrassing to be in it, and I don't want to get along with Du Miaoyan.

"Really Tang people?!"

Fang Yuan looked ahead with some surprise.

There were two teams of hundreds of people, and the wagons were pulling a lot of goods.

Judging by what they were wearing, and occasionally hearing a word or two, it was certain that they were Tang people.

In addition, it was not them who took the initiative to block the path of Fang Yuan and the others.

Instead, they just happened to pass by here, not letting Fang Yuan's carriage approach.

This time, there were not many people who came back from Fang Yuan, only those guards at the beginning.

The female boss and the people who were hired in the outer cities of the Elite Country all gave them their wages and left, and now they are on their way back to the Rong Lu Kingdom.

"Why does this caravan feel familiar?"

Fang Yuan looked at the banner of the caravan in front of him in surprise.

Cui, like the Cui family who used to have five surnames and seven hopes.

"Five surnames and seven hopes?!"

Du Miaoyan also came out of the carriage, and when she saw the Cui character of the caravan, she immediately frowned.

The five surnamed Qiwang were driven to the Western Regions by Fang Yuan, and there was no news where they went in the end.

With the ability of five surnames and seven hopes, it is not difficult not to be discovered.

I just didn't expect to meet them again now?

"Go see?"

Fang Yuan was about to move.

It had been too long since he had met the five surnames and seven wangs, and Fang Yuan was curious if it was them.

If so, he wanted to know where Cui Runyu was and what they were doing.

These people are not to be underestimated, and no one knows what they are secretly preparing.

"Rengui, it's hard for you to ask."

Du Miaoyan looked at Xue Rengui and said.

Xue Rengui should be, immediately jumped out of the carriage and walked towards the caravan.

The people in the caravan thought they were doing something, and immediately scolded Xue Rengui to stop.

Xue Rengui didn't choose to do it as soon as possible, but talked to them first.

I don't know what was said, but one of the caravan left, and the horse was quick to report.

Not long after, that person returned, and even followed a carriage back, directly back to Fang Yuan.

Fang Yuan and Du Miaoyan both looked at the carriage with some surprise.

The next moment, the curtain of the carriage was lifted, and Fang Yuan and Du Miaoyan were even more surprised.

"Cui Runyu?!"

Fang Yuan and Du Miaoyan were surprised.

This person turned out to be the patriarch of the Boling Cui clan, Cui Runyu.

"Fang Yuan, I haven't seen you for a long time, I didn't expect you to become the king of Zhou!"

Cui Runyu laughed.

Get out of the carriage.

I haven't seen him for many days, and he's still like that.

The years have not left an extra stab on him.

"You're well-informed, but I haven't heard anything from you."

Fang Yuan said with a smile.

The news of his own kingship is just a little bit of time.

But Cui Runyu knew that it could be seen that he had been staring at the news of Chang'an City.

This is not good news, which shows that they still want to return to Datang and want to engage in some conspiracy.

"After we were driven to the Western Regions by you, we took root here, and we didn't have time to make a fuss, so naturally there was no news."

Cui Runyu laughed.

The situation in the Western Regions is very different from that of the Tang Dynasty.

They have everything in Datang, but they have to start from scratch when they come to Datang.

So during that time, almost nothing was done, and only one thing was done, and that was to stabilize.

It was only recently that they had some time to slowly do business and lay their fortune in the interior of the Western Regions.

"Is Patriarch Cui just delivering the goods himself?"

Fang Yuan smiled, then looked at his convoy and said.

There are only sixty or seventy cars, and there are not many things, but I can't tell what they are loaded.

"Yes, I came out to breathe, and I met you, it's really fate."

"Why don't you go to the side to enjoy the coolness, drink tea by the way, and talk about the past?"

Cui Runyu pointed to the big tree not far away and said.

There is a big tree there, and the shade is good, and it is worth enjoying the shade.

"Please."

Fang Yuan has no opinion.

He also wanted to talk about the past, and wanted to know what the five surnames and Qiwang had been doing recently.

It didn't take long for Fang Yuan and a few people to come to the shade under the big tree, and his subordinates immediately boiled water to make tea.

"After learning that you were crowned king, I was greatly shocked, and I couldn't believe that it was true, and I was sure of it several times."

"I really didn't expect that you would have the means to become the king and become the only living king with a different surname in the Tang Dynasty."

"I'm curious, how are you going to develop yourself after you become king?"

Cui Runyu stared at Fang Yuan and said in a deep voice.

He was shocked, shocked that Fang Yuan was actually crowned king.

With his understanding of Li Shimin, it is impossible for Li Shimin to be crowned king.

Unless Fang Yuan used some means to persecute Li Shimin and so on.

"Patriarch Cui has an opinion?"

Fang Yuan asked with a smile.

"I asked you."

Cui Runyu shook his head and said with a smile.

"The fiefdom of Lingnan, based on Lingnan, develops overseas markets."

Fang Yuan didn't hide it, Zhengsedao.

His relationship with Choi Run-ok is complicated, he is an enemy, and he is not an enemy.

But it is certain that the two are not friends, but it is not impossible to sit down and chat.

"It's a good idea, but over time, it's actually a huge family model."

"It's like our five surnames and seven hopes, if we develop for a long time and our forces are complicated, we will encroach on the court and control the court."

Cui Runyu smiled, with a slight mockery in her eyes.

Fang Yuan was silent and did not answer the question directly.

Du Miaoyan frowned slightly, wanting to refute, but seeing that Fang Yuan didn't react, she didn't refute after thinking about it.

"Sooner or later, you Fang Yuan will also become the same as our five surnames and seven hopes, and in the end, you will either override the royal family or be driven away like us."

Cui Runyu laughed.

It was a shame for them to be driven out of Datang, especially to come to such a backward place.

"No, maybe my descendants will override the royal family, but I won't be driven away."

Fang Yuan shook his head and said firmly.

"How so?"

Cui Runyu didn't believe it, and frowned.

"Because I already have a way out, I don't plan to stay in Datang forever."

Fang Yuan said in a deep voice.

Any family, as long as it continues to develop, will one day be intolerable to the imperial court.

The same goes for the prince, its development will only be faster than that of ordinary families, and it is easier to threaten the royal family.

At this time, you need to consider two ways to override the royal family or leave the Tang Dynasty.

Otherwise, he will eventually be disposed of by the royal family and become a guillotine.

"Oh? What do you mean by that? ”

Cui Runyu asked curiously.

"I chose a place and I wanted to build a world of my dreams."

"I want to support the old, educate the young, rely on the poor, help the difficult, and not rank the seniors by seniority, but the talent has his own world."

Fang Yuan said in a deep voice.

His eyes flashed with longing.

"Absolutely fair, paradise?"

Cui Runyu smiled and said with a slight mockery.

"No, absolute fairness is impossible."

"What I want is relative fairness, where people's lives are secure, where people don't have to run for life, and where people can be happy."

Fang Yuan shook his head and smiled.

"Hahaha"

"There are unforeseen circumstances in the sky, people have disasters and blessings, even if Yao Shunyu is alive, everyone can't be guaranteed."

"And if people don't run for life, then the world you are talking about will be peaceful, they will stare at your regime, they will rebel, and they will not be happy."

Cui Runyu couldn't help laughing.

I don't believe in the world described.

Since ancient times, eating too much has not necessarily been a good thing.

And men farming and women weaving, in the event of natural disasters and man-made disasters, there is no guarantee of life.

"Before the firecracker is studied, do you think there is a firecracker?"

"Do you think there are cement and red bricks until they are studied?"

"There are many more, and many more, did you think there would be them before they came out?"

In the face of Cui Runyu's ridicule, Fang Yuan was not angry, but asked three rhetorical questions in a row.

Cui Runyu's smile gradually disappeared, and finally became solemn, facing Fang Yuan squarely.

Yes, he never thought there would be cement, red bricks, banknotes, bicycles, etc.

So when Fang Yuan asked rhetorically, Cui Runyu seriously thought about whether it was possible to achieve the kind of world that Fang Yuan said.

After a while, Cui Runyu still shook his head, feeling impossible.

Because those invented by Fang Yuan are all things, there have been many pioneers who have invented some objects throughout the ages.

But Fang Yuan is talking about the world now.

The human heart is complex, and they will not have a satisfied day.

Therefore, the world that Fang Yuan said could not exist.

"If you don't believe it, I can't prove it."

"I just hope you live longer so you can see it."

Fang Yuan chuckled.

It doesn't matter if you don't believe it, I don't think anyone in this world will believe it.

But in the future generations, our country, as long as it has the ability and is willing to work hard, will live a good life.

"Okay, I'll see."

Cui Runyu laughed.

didn't take what Fang Yuan said to heart.

Instead, I wondered where Fang Yuan was thinking, could it be Lingnan?

"Hey, by the way, why did you appear in the Western Regions, you didn't come to find our five surnames and seven hopes, right?"

Cui Runyu was suddenly curious about how Fang Yuan was here, and looked at Fang Yuan vigilantly.

"I've heard about the Maritime Silk Road, I just happened to have something to do."

Fang Yuan said bluntly.

"The Maritime Silk Road is good, which greatly shortens the time for doing business between the Tang Dynasty and the Western Regions."

"But it takes so much effort to build such a big ship, and I don't know how much it costs to invest, so it's just used on this?"

Cui Runyu naturally also heard of the Maritime Silk Road.

In fact, he had seen the steel steamers during the first Maritime Silk Road.

It's terrible, I didn't expect to be able to build such a big ship, and it's made of steel.

This is also the reason why Cui Runyu came to see Fang Yuan in person after learning that it was Fang Yuan just now.

It was indeed too shocking to him, and it was estimated that there was nothing that Fang Yuan couldn't create.

If one day, Fang Yuan researched the human flying artifact, he would not be surprised.

"The Maritime Silk Road, listening to the name, can't just be the Western Regions."

"It's just a node opening one node at a time, starting from the Western Regions, and then other overseas worlds."

"Patriarch Cui, this world is very big, there are many countries, and there are many things that we haven't seen."

Fang Yuan said in a deep voice.

Now Datang's weapon strength is definitely the strongest in the family.

But now there are many countries around the world that are not weak, and it is difficult to conquer them by force.

Conquest by force is troublesome after all, and it costs money and effort, and in the end, it is easy to rebound.

But it's not the same to do business, to make their money with their own goods.

At the same time, paper money can be promoted and the status of the world economic hegemon can be formulated.

This is the real conquest!

Thinking of this, Fang Yuan knew that the implementation of paper money had to be replaced with Yanhuang banknotes.

Datang banknotes are used in Datang, and Yanhuang banknotes are used in the world.

"What a great idea!"

"I think you have traveled to the Western Regions twice, and you should already have a way not to get lost."

"Can you tell me about this way of not getting lost, or do business together overseas?"

Cui Runyu said in a deep voice.

The temptation of the Maritime Silk Road was too great.

It is precisely because of the birth of the Maritime Silk Road that the five surnames and seven hopes came out to do business in advance.

Otherwise, they are still using the money in their hands to control some countries and local families, and stabilize in the Western Regions.

"We've known each other for a long time, and this little request must be granted."

"It's called a compass, and the process of making it is very simple, and a little rubbing with a thin needle on the iron will have an effect."

"You see, when it's still in the direction it points to, it's what we call the north-south-east."

Fang Yuan generously took out the compass and introduced it to Cui Runyu.

As steel steamers began the Maritime Silk Road, people soon discovered the compass.

The problem of discovering early and late, Fang Yuan felt that there was no need to be so stingy, and he could tell Cui Runyu completely.

"The compass is such a magical thing?!"

Cui Runyu muttered, unable to believe it.

After taking the compass, I fiddled with it on the ground, and tried it according to real life, and the compass pointed really correctly.
