Chapter 2: Fang De and Li Xiaohuan

Yongzheng died, Prince Bao Hongli ascended the throne as the emperor, changed the Yuan Qianlong, and was known as the Qianlong Emperor in history.

After Qianlong ascended the throne, first sent the emperor's cronies and important ministers Ordo to Xijiang, as the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, and directly moved his governance from Fuzhou to Hangzhou, and then all the years have been rewarded to the south of the Yangtze River, in governance, he also inherited the legacy of the emperor, and worked hard to govern, in just 20 years, the Qing Dynasty has appeared an unprecedented prosperous situation, the country is stronger than the Kangxi period, and chased the Han and Tang dynasties.

Although the Qing Dynasty in his reign, in the population and economy have a leap discovery, so that the Qing Dynasty appeared the most prosperous and prosperous period, and was called the Kangqian Dynasty together with the Kangxi Dynasty, but in the eyes of Western countries, it is a complete joke, their so-called prosperity is simply the Manchu Dynasty is deceiving itself, whether it is the economy or population has not broken through the value of the Ming Dynasty, as for science and technology is in a straight line of regression, and at the same time, the United Kingdom, far across the ocean, is in full swing at this timeIn order to find a new market, they expanded rapidly outward and developed their colonies, and India and China, a rich country in the far east, became their ultimate goal of conquest; at home, because Qianlong's administration was too lenient, the officials had something to fear, and wantonly looted the people's fat and ointment, resulting in the emergence of anti-Qing organizations among the people, and they killed corrupt officials and eliminated corrupt officials in various places, and often became enemies of the imperial court, and the most active was the Heaven and Earth Society。

Heaven and Earth will be the former Ming Dynasty Zheng Chenggong's love will Chen Yonghua created, to oppose the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty as its responsibility, its power all over the country, can be said to be the world's largest anti-Qing organization, although Taiwan eventually surrendered to the imperial court, but the Heaven and Earth Society has survived tenaciously, and the power is getting bigger and bigger, its power throughout the northern and southern provinces, has become the court's henchmen, and many times into the palace assassination, become the Manchu court's henchmen. Although they were repeatedly suppressed by the imperial court for a long time, they still survived tenaciously and became a major problem for the Qing court. For this, Qianlong already knew well, after he ascended the throne, he immediately set out to eradicate the matter of the Heaven and Earth Society, in the matter of clearing the Heaven and Earth Society, he went all out, selected elite soldiers and strong generals, and used two people, one is Ordo, and the former general Wang Yunyu, the general Wang's martial arts are not under Yongzheng, but also a fierce rival with his father for the throne, and even because Yongzheng implemented the policy of paving the Ding into the house, it violated the interests of a large number of gentry, as for the legitimacy of his throne, it was doubted by many people, so that there were such rumors among the people, saying that Kangxi was originally going to pass on the general Wang Yunyu, and it was Yongzheng who forced his father to die, modified the edict in order to ascend to the throne, and this statement is very marketable, once spread among the people, so that in the twentieth century there is still a big market, and this kind of film and television works are still emerging. Ordo is the most confidant general Ordo under Yongzheng in the later period, Wen Tao Wuluo, the crown of the dynasty, its martial arts are exquisite, and Yongzheng was named "the first warrior of the Manchu and Han Dynasty".

After receiving the order, they did not dare to slack off, and immediately secretly deployed, planned, and put it into practice, and it took them five years to find out the rudder of the Heaven and Earth Society in various places, and they prepared for another three years, and finally launched an attack on the same day to completely eliminate the Heaven and Earth Society.

In this battle, the seventy-two rudders of the Heaven and Earth Society in the country were destroyed and disintegrated at the same time, and the masters of the Society were about to die, and only a few people escaped.

In this battle, our former general Wang Yunyu fully showed the world his extraordinary wisdom, courage, and determination to kill, and made great contributions, so Qianlong crowned him as Prince Rong.

In the year when heaven and earth would be destroyed, Fang De had just turned twenty or twenty years old, and he began his years in the business world in the south of the Yangtze River.

Fang De is the only son of the Jiangnan family of this generation, the ancestral home is in Guangzhou, his great-grandfather, grandpa went to Nanyang three times, made a fortune in Nanyang, brought back a large amount of wealth, and moved from Guangzhou to Hangzhou, founded the famous "Fanglong" firm. Fang Long's business was mainly based on leather goods, jade and silk at the beginning, and after several generations of painstaking management, it has extended to all levels of society and all walks of life, including wine, grain, groceries, tea, medicinal materials, Western goods, etc., but unfortunately Fang De's father died early in middle age, leaving only a pair of orphans and widows, and their business has shrunk a little over the years.

When Fang De took over all the business of Fang Long, he was only eighteen years old, at that time he had just married Ouyang Sihai, the eldest lady of the Salt Gang, after marriage, his stepmother Lan Sisi handed over all the business to this young couple, they did not disappoint the stepmother, it took less than three years to make Fang Long glow with the glory of the past, and the business radiated to the surrounding provinces.

Fang Long can reproduce the glory of the past, the young lady Ouyang Sihai is extremely great, this young lady is not only smart, dignified, beautiful, but also a talented woman, strong martial arts, erudite and talented, with extraordinary business methods, and it is precisely because of such a virtuous help, Fang De can develop Fang Long's business outside without worries.

When heaven and earth were to be destroyed, Fang De was returning to Hangzhou with his caravan south along the canal, escorting Li Xiaohuan, the daughter of Li Bashan, the leader of the Cao Gang. Although Li Xiaohuan is a girl, her martial arts have been passed down by her father, and her seventy-two consecutive legs have been out of the ordinary, and she has kicked down many heroes and martial arts heroes.

It is not the first time that Li Xiaohuan and Fang De have met, they first met two years ago, when Li Bashan's father and daughter were still in Hangzhou. As soon as they arrived in Hangzhou, they had a gladiatorial fight with a bully, in the gladiatorial fight, they were killed by mistake, and they were slandered by the officials, because the bully's family had money, bought off the government, and convicted Li Bashan of a capital crime, and asked for beheading after the autumn, Li Xiaohuan was also used as an official prostitute, that is, they really had no way to ask for help, and later, Li Xiaohuan heard that Fang Dehao was righteous, so he held the mentality of giving it a try, and found Fang De, after listening to his story, Fang De ordered his subordinates to carefully investigate the incident, and after knowing the details, he decided to overturn the case for Li Bashan, the governor Wang Wangwang, exonerated him. Ordo also cherished Li Bashan's martial arts, and when he saw that he was indeed innocent, he personally interrogated the case and cleared his name. After Li Bashan was released from prison, he stayed in Hangzhou, and sat on the position of the leader of the Cao Gang with the support of Ordo, Li Xiaohuan also became a frequent visitor to the Fang family, this time she escorted Fang De to the north for her father to purchase goods, and had her own selfishness, as early as the first time she met Fang De, she had already deeply liked Fang De, just because he was a married man, and he had not shown it.

Now, Fang De was watching the scenery on both sides of the canal on the bow of the boat, but when he saw the willows hanging low in the two rocks, the green shade and the clear waves contrasted with each other, he couldn't help but think of the song "Jiangnan Spring" by the famous minister Kou Zhun of the Northern Song Dynasty, so he casually recited it: "The waves are misty, the willows are Yiyi, the lonely village is far away, the apricot blossoms are flying in the slanting sun, the spring in the south of the Yangtze River is far away from the intestines, and the people of Tingzhou have not returned."

Before his voice fell, Li Xiaohuan's close-fitting girl Xiaoyu had already poked her head out of the cabin next to her, and asked with a smile: "Boss Fang, you are composing poetry again!"

Fang De smiled: "What kind of poems will I write there, it's just to pick up people's teeth and wisdom to pass the boring time." ”

"That's right," said Xiao Yu'er, "it's very boring to take a boat." ”

She blinked and continued, "That's fine, when we get to the dock in front, let's go ashore and take a walk."

"It's good!"

Fang De did not object.

At dusk, the fleet stopped at the dock in front of them to replenish water, vegetables, food, and daily necessities, while Fang De, Li Xiaohuan, and Xiao Yu'er went to the downtown in front.

Xiaoyuer is beautiful, lively, and full of the aura of the water town in the south of the Yangtze River, Li Xiaohuan is charming with two points of fortitude and three points of stubbornness, and Fang De is unpretentious, approachable, and has a kind of affinity.

After entering the downtown area, Xiao Yuer bought two strings of rock sugar gourds and ate them.

Li Xiaohuan was very reserved: "This girl is good at everything, she is greedy." ”

"She's still a little girl, so let her be!"

Fang Dewan didn't care.

"Do you think we should buy some gifts for Erniang and Sister Rou to go back?"

The second mother in her mouth is Fang De's stepmother Lan Sisi, since the death of her biological parents, she has been raised by this stepmother and cultivated into a talent, Sister Rou is Fang De's wife Ouyang Sihai.

"It's time to prepare, I've been ready for a long time, you don't have to break the bank, it seems that someone is practicing a single knife and breaking a spear in front, let's go and see." ”

Li Xiaohuan said disdainfully: "Those who go to the rivers and lakes to sell their arts are all deceitful, what chest broken boulders, single knife and broken flower gun are fooling you laymen, in fact, as long as the way is set, anyone can do it, for example, those who practice iron head skills, they soak the bricks in vinegar in advance, and then take them out and use them when they are used, at this time the bricks have already become crispy, and they will break when they are touched." ”

"Let's just watch the excitement. ”

Fang De had already dragged her over to join in the fun.

The father and daughter are not ordinary performers, some are real kung fu, which Li Xiaohuan can still see, but she feels that the father seems to have internal injuries, and the horse step is a little unstable, and the woman's knife skills are exquisite, and she is definitely not under herself.

After watching it for a while, Fang De dropped more than a dozen copper coins, and went to the restaurant with Li Xiaohuan and Xiaoyu'er to eat.

After having a meal, they began to return to the fleet.

On the way back, they met the father and daughter again, who were being besieged by a group of strong men.

Seeing this, Xiao Yu'er was unconvinced and said, "It's really shameful for a few people to beat the two, Miss, should we go up and help?"

Li Xiaohuan glared at her: "Are you very good at fighting?"

Xiao Yu'er laughed: "How can I compare to Miss?"

"Then you don't have bad ideas," Li Xiaohuan said: "It's better to have more things to do when you're out of the house, and you don't even know who the other party is, so you rush to make a move, if you save a good person, it's okay, if it's a bad person or get into trouble? ”

Xiao Yu'er's eyes widened: "It can't be such a coincidence, right?"

Fang De smiled: "We still listen to your young lady, let's go!"

He had already walked back with Li Xiaohuan.

The little fish had to follow behind them.
