Chapter 516: No One Is Perfect
Tong Jian's words were very meaningful, Feng Zhiping glanced at the loneliness on his face, smiled, and didn't want to talk deeply.
"Brother Tong asked me over today, I think there is an answer, right?"
Tong Jian smiled: "What is the answer?"
Feng Zhiping frowned, and said lightly: "Since Master Tong doesn't know what I'm talking about, forget it." ”
After saying that, he turned around and left.
Tong Jian didn't expect Feng Zhiping to be so straightforward, and only then did he stop him when he took five steps.
"Brother Feng stays. ”
Feng Zhiping turned around with a faint expression.
He has to ask for Tong Jian, but he doesn't have to ask for it, although Tongxian is good, it is not the only choice, and he can make money by choosing another place.
Tong Jian took two steps closer and said with a smile: "Brother Feng, why should you be in a hurry, the weather is so good, why don't you stay here and chat with you?"
"I'm busy, not as busy as you. Feng Zhiping turned around, "Is there anything else?" I'm leaving. ”
Tong Jian frowned and looked: "Brother Tai seems to be in a bad mood today?"
Nonsense, there is a whole mountain of gold waiting for the young master to dig it, you are still delaying your efforts here, who can be in a good mood?
Feng Zhi slandered and said lightly: "Talking to people, talking to ghosts, I have met enough ghosts, and I don't want to add another one." ”
Tong Jian chuckled: "It's just a joke, why take it seriously? Besides, there must be a process to talk about business, is Brother Feng too anxious?"
Feng Zhiping sneered: "Co-authoring is not Lord Feng's money." ”
Turning around and holding on to the guardrail, looking at the turbulent river, Feng Zhiping said: "I heard that Master Tong is about to be transferred to the household department, it must be a good number, you know how much investment it takes to transform a place like Tongxian." My money is not swept by the sea of clouds, you mysteriously invited me to come, and you have this attitude when you meet, how do you feel in exchange for you?"
Tong Jian said: "The son of the world is too worried. ”
"Isn't it too much for you to know. Feng Zhiping turned his head to look, "I'm the most tired of turning around and talking, when talking about business, you have to have the attitude of talking about business, if that thing is successful, you give a sentence, if it doesn't work, you can continue to talk, if it doesn't work, forget it, you continue to stay here to drink the wind and lament the suffering of your hometown, I'll go busy with my business, every inch of time and every inch of gold, none of us will delay anyone's time." ”
Tong Jian frowned deeply, today's Feng Zhiping spoke too impulsively, which was very different from the cynicism of that day.
After thinking about it, he stretched his eyebrows and said, "If I agree, how do you want to transform Tongxian." ”
"That's right. Feng Zhiping smiled and patted the railing, "Just like I said that day, the entire area, from the inside out, has been completely transformed into a monster paradise!"
"Paradise?" Tong Jian was a little dissatisfied with this word, "How can the safety of the people of Tongxian County be guaranteed?"
"According to what you mean, there will be no dead people in Tongxian now?" Feng Zhiping was very amused, leaning on the railing and said, "Go up the mountain to collect firewood and go into the water to catch fish, but there is no danger in making a living? Let's just say that in Tongxian now, on the way to the Zhuangyuan Temple that day, I saw a lot of people who planted grass and sold themselves, there were men and women, the oldest half of them were cut into the ground, and the youngest was just hobbling, are they not pitiful? Will they be safe or dangerous in the future?"
Tong Jian frowned: "You know I didn't mean that." ”
"I just know what you mean, that's why I want you not to use the safety of the people as an excuse. Feng Zhiping said, "You are a smart person, I am not stupid, we don't say dark words, don't you just want to ask if there will be chaos, and if there is chaos, will it affect your career!"
Tong Jian was slightly stunned, but did not refute.
Feng Zhiping smiled slightly and pointed around: "What does Master Tong think of the current capital?"
"It's a mess. "Tong Jian eats a trench and grows wise, and he is outspoken.
"It's messy, but it's also lively, isn't it?"
Feng Zhiping smiled and pointed to a ring built on the other side of the river, where a person had just been knocked out of the ring and fell into the water, causing a burst of exclamations and whistles.
"Do you see them? Do you see the people who are selling among them? The sugar gourd that usually costs five cents and two strings is now twenty cents a string, and a bowl of well water can be sold for two copper plates, and the cool fruit is more expensive, how do you think they are, are they happy, and are they safe?"
Tong Jian was silent, unable to answer.
It is natural to be happy to be able to earn more money, but prices are soaring, prices are inflated, and you have to be sprayed on your face if you don't get beaten up by others, and it is only now that this special moment can be tolerated, but it is not safe.
"And the ones who pull bets. Feng Zhiping nodded the yellow vest, "They are all from various casinos, and the guests bet in and out, but they generally come in more than they go out, and the money flows into the casino and then turns into tax money and flows into the pockets of the imperial court, what do you think of the tax revenue in Gyeonggi this year?
Tong Jian nodded, there was no doubt about it.
Casinos are just one part of the story, and the food, housing, transportation, and entertainment industries are all full of money because of the Tian Yuan competition, and the tax capital for these industries in Gyeonggi is heavier than that of most other regions, and the tax revenue will skyrocket.
"So, the chaos is a little messy, but on the whole it is still thriving, as long as the people with money bags are not misers, they will definitely go to consume, the money is circulated, and the people's money bags can also be puffed up, and the money bags are definitely happy, even if it is worth taking a little risk, so the court knows that there are many hidden dangers but always insists on holding the Tianyuan Dabi in Beijing, this is the reason, does Lord Tong think so?"
Tong Jian disagreed: "No, the imperial court held the Tianyuan Contest in the capital to demonstrate the orthodoxy of the emperor!"
"Really?" Feng Zhiping snorted and shook his head towards the south, "Isn't it good to have a palace eighteen miles outside the southern city?
Tong Jian was silent again, and shook his head with a bitter smile for a long time.
Immersed in officialdom for many years, he is no longer the original scholar who was full of sages and sages, and he climbed to his current position step by step with a clear doorway, and he knew the true purpose of Tianyuan Dabi.
The emergence of Tianyuan Dabi originated from the Three Kingdoms War after the meeting of the three continents, and its purpose was two, one bright and one dark.
On the surface, the Tianyuan Dabi is a means of selecting generals, and under the table, it is to take the opportunity to accumulate wealth to enrich the treasury for the upcoming war.
Don't underestimate the income of this period, you must know that taxation is only one part of it, and it is a very low-ranking link, and the real bulk is in the purchase and sale of weapons and medicines.
Tianyuan Dabi does not require an entry fee, but martial artists participating in the competition will definitely lose their blades and will definitely be injured, which gives the imperial court a chance.
Why are those human-level and earth-level spiritual weapons on the market that are hard to buy on weekdays in supply, and why do those rare elixirs appear in batches?
Isn't it because the court secretly let go?
The capital is the base camp of the imperial court, here, the imperial power is supreme, incomparable, if the imperial court does not let go, who can transport those weapons and elixirs in, and how to ensure sufficient supply?
Few people know that many of the things they buy are actually from various workshops controlled by the government and a number of dignitaries, taking medicine as an example, the "Zichou Jin Chuangsan" with good efficacy and low price can only be bought by Zhou, Wang, and Li, and the owners behind these three old names are actually the three foreign offices released by the Sun family a long time ago.
The Sun family here is the maiden family of Aunt Sun in the Jianhou Mansion, who has worked in the Tai Hospital for several generations, holding countless miraculous elixirs in their hands, they dare to take out the royal things and sell them to the public, can the emperor nod his head?
"This is just for a while, and I will make Tongxian County so lively forever. ”
Tong Jian raised his head, and Feng Zhi looked at him calmly, his eyes blazing.
"As long as you are willing to cooperate, I am confident that Tongxian County will be the same as here, no, it will surpass, far surpass, far exceed the scene here!"
Tong Jian hesitated: "But this is not a long-term solution. ”
"What is the long-term plan? Grow vegetables and cultivate the land?" Feng Zhiping sneered, "Southern orange and northern orange, you have to ask people to cultivate the land that can't support things, isn't it uncomfortable to find it?"
Tong Jian said: "I didn't mean that, I just wanted to say that your plan is biased, there are too many variables, and I am afraid it will not last." ”
"Oh, are there many variables? Can you name one or two?"
"For example, as I just said, demon beasts hurt people, how to ensure the safety of the people?"
"Look at you, the words come back again, I still say the same thing, what kind of business is not dangerous?"
"But it's not so dangerous. ”
"Yes, Lord Tong has a lot of opportunities every day, have you ever known how many people who beg for a living in the water die a year?"
"This..."
"Let me tell you, taking my hometown of Quanzhou as an example, last month's great storm killed 142 fishermen overnight, five fully loaded passenger boats sank to the bottom, and more than 700 families living along the coast were affected. If you count the entire coast of Longting Lake, the number of casualties will have to more than triple, and the fishing waterways are what you call a 'serious' business, do you think it is safe?"
Feng Zhiping saw that Tong Jian was dumbfounded, and smiled confidently: "Natural disasters are measured, man-made disasters can be prevented, as long as you are well prepared, properly protected, and strictly implement all rules and regulations, the situation you are worried about will not happen at all." Oh, except for those who volunteer to participate in 'entertainment', there are life and death situations, and it doesn't matter to us whether they die or not. ”
Tong Jian was speechless, thought about it and said, "But if the superiors inquire about it...?"
Feng Zhiping smiled: "You take care of it, and my people supervise it, and the taxes that should be paid are enough to pay the silver that should be stuffed, who will ask?"
"But if something happens to a noble son, there will be a disturbance at home..."
Feng Zhiping waved his hand and stood proudly: "Brother, think about who I am." I am Feng Zhiping, the prince of Jianhou, my maternal great-grandfather is called Sheng Zhongzhang, my grandfather's name is Sheng Changming, who am I afraid of in the martial arts? Oh, by the way, I still want to be a colt, there is nothing special about Neizi, it is more painful to His Majesty, who do you say I am afraid of? Only people are afraid of me, I am not afraid of people! Alas, thinking about it this way, I am quite afraid of myself, tsk~!"
Tong Jian was completely speechless.
Feng Zhiping's boastful face is quite unbeatable, but I have to say that there are really few people who dare to provoke him now.
"Tell me about your conditions. Feng Zhiping said coldly, "Don't say no, no one is perfect, I really wouldn't have written that letter without you, and I wouldn't have written it so much, what do you want me to do for you?"
Tong Jian really wanted to say that if he was really the kind of benevolent and righteous person who was dedicated to the people, but looking at Feng Zhiping's expression, he smiled and scattered his thoughts, and said in a low voice: "I do have something to ask for, I want to ask Brother Feng to pass the word on my behalf and let Master Sheng do me a favor."
"Let my great-great-grandfather help?" Feng Zhiping was stunned, "You are officials in the same dynasty, and you want to ask yourself to go to the Sheng Mansion to say it, why do you want me to come forward?"
"Because of this, I can't show up directly, let alone talk to him directly. ”
Feng Zhi was surprised: "What's the matter, let's hear it." ”
Tong Jian took two steps closer and lowered his voice: "Lord Zhongcai, the servant of the Ministry of Officials, is about to tell his old man, and His Majesty has approved his excerpts." I want to ask Mr. Sheng to help me say a word, don't transfer me to the household department, I want to go to the official department to fill in the vacancy. ”
