The Wind Rises and the Pure Yang Chapter 155 Shangguan's Mansion
As the sun set, Li asked that it was already evening when the three of them arrived at Changling City, and the three of them walked slowly, and by the time they arrived at Shangguan's house, the sun was about to set completely.
I just arrived at the mansion of the Shangguan family, and although the mansion in front of me can be regarded as a splendid atmosphere, it is also a little different from what I imagined in a few questions.
It's not that the Shangguan family's mansion is not good enough, it's just that Li Wendao feels that it is not as big as he imagined. Judging from the scale of Changling City, the Shangguan family's mansion, which is the top magnate in Fujian, should be much larger than the Xianling Pavilion in Tianfang City.
After all, this is the capital of a country, and the area of the city is already much higher than that of Tianfang City, but looking at it like this, it doesn't seem to be the case, the mansion in front of him doesn't seem to be as big as Tianfang City, which is much higher than the Fairy Spirit Pavilion, seeing this scene, Li Wendao is really a little puzzled.
The location of Shangguan's house is a good place, it can be said that it is the most luxurious place in Changling City, after all, the unique layout of Changling City basically brings all the big forces together, so the center of the city should naturally be the most luxurious place.
This place is said to be an inch of land, but even if it is so, it should not be that the Shangguan family can't afford to buy a place, right? A mansion is actually built so "shivering", which makes Li ask is really a little strange.
But after thinking about it, I probably guessed what was going on, and I thought that this should be Shangguan Yunlong's frugality. Maybe this is because Shangguan Yunlong doesn't want his family to occupy too many resources.
After all, from where Li Wendao understood, Shangguan Yunlong seemed to really regard the Min Kingdom as more important than anything else, so it was natural to understand Shangguan Yunlong's approach.
In order not to occupy too many national resources, an old man is willing to build the mansion relatively small, and Li Wendao still admires this matter.
But because of the status of the Shangguan family, then it is definitely necessary to need a mansion instead of a mansion, so the mansion in front of you may be the most frugal.
Although this may be something that many people can't have for a lifetime, according to the status of the Shangguan family, it really seems to be very frugal.
Seeing the "cold mix" of the Shangguan family's mansion, Li asked and probably could guess what the families of other powerful people in Fujian were like. After all, as the strongest family in Fujian, this is the case, so the other families will not be far behind.
Even some families didn't want to do this in the end, but even if it was to take care of the Shangguan family's face, they had to do it. After all, everyone lives together so closely, you can definitely see the difference.
You said that if you build the mansion so magnificently, and it turns out to be in tatters when you come to me, is that a little too much? After all, even if everyone doesn't say anything, outsiders' eyes are not blind.
If you really do that, then the face of the Shangguan family will definitely not look good, even if Shangguan Yunlong thinks that this matter is nothing, but it does not mean that others will not think so.
Before this, Li Wendao also heard Chen Wan'er and others talk about the situation of the Shangguan family, and the three sons have made good achievements in the three aspects of official, business, and military. Although there is nothing particularly surprising about the youngest daughter, she is also a literary person.
These things are destined to make the connections of the Shangguan family definitely not too bad, and these people who have a relationship with the Shangguan family can be called people from the Shangguan faction. Although Li Wendao did not know whether there was such a thing as party struggle in Fujian, Li Wendao knew another thing.
That is, the people of these Shangguan factions are destined to have a close relationship with the Shangguan family, and they are in a relationship of both prosperity and loss. It's just that the Shangguan family occupies the main position, and the members of the other Shangguan factions are subordinate.
So if someone embarrasses the Shangguan family in the matter of the mansion, then naturally they are embarrassed and embarrassed, then there is no telling what is going to happen here.
Even if there is no particularly obvious party dispute here in Fujian, if someone embarrasses their faction, then the absence of party dispute may become a party dispute.
And if there is a party dispute, then there may be some other problems in the relatively stable court. Not to mention how many people will be affected by this party struggle and how many people's careers will be ruined.
Just because of the turmoil brought to Fujian by party strife, it is fatal, which is undoubtedly the worst thing for a country that has just developed steadily.
At the same time, because the development of Fujian has been affected, the interests of these magnates will naturally be affected, and this kind of thing is unacceptable to these magnates.
So whether it is for the sake of Fujian or to protect their own interests, they will not allow these things to happen. Especially since these things are caused by such stupid things as the size of the mansion.
If it's because of this, then they really don't know how much they will regret it in the end, it's really not worth it. What's more, don't you see that the Shangguan family is so frugal? Their group of people is not as strong as the Shangguan family, what can they do if they are more restrained?
So whether it is sincere or forced by the situation, the other magnates will definitely not build more luxurious mansions. Even the palace may be like this.
Although the palace should be the most luxurious mansion in a country, if a group of his ministers are very frugal and do not waste extravagantly, then as a royal family, it will definitely not be too bad.
After all, if there is a sharp contrast with the ministers, on the one hand, it can certainly show the difference between the monarch and the minister, but on the other hand, it will also appear that the king is too mediocre.
After all, their courtiers all know that they should live frugally, so it would be really bad if they didn't know it as a royal family. Of course, this kind of thing is generally something that only Ming Jun will consider, if he is a mediocre monarch, then he will naturally not care about these things.
But in Li Wenwen's opinion, the monarch of the Min State is not a mediocre monarch no matter what. After all, if the monarch of a country is really mediocre, then in the end, it will definitely not be able to establish a country that is prosperous and powerful in Li Wendao's opinion.
If a king is mediocre, then no matter how many virtuous and capable ministers he has, he will not be able to carry a country in the end. Because in the final analysis, the courtiers can only play an auxiliary role, and it is the monarch who can really play a decisive role.
From this point of view, the king of Min should be a rather virtuous person, so Li Wendao can roughly imagine what the palace of Min looks like.
Although it is definitely not the kind of glorious atmosphere that he imagined, it makes Li Wendao feel that it will feel better than he imagined. Because this is destined to be a people-oriented country, Li Wenwen is naturally very happy about this.
Of course, Li Wendao also knew that things might be a little biased from what he imagined, maybe this kind of frugality was Fujian's own consistent style. After all, these people are people who have come out of the war, and they naturally know how difficult life is now.
Coupled with the difficult environment at the beginning of the establishment of the Fujian State, it is understandable that they were relatively frugal in the end.
But no matter what point it is, at least these people are not overly extravagant and wasteful, as long as this is determined, Li asked at least to know that these people are still a fairly good management group.
Then let them come over and take control of a new country in the future, Li asked and felt that there was no problem. Li Wendao has never been an emperor in this life, but the reincarnation memory of thousands of generations still allows Li Wendao to be sure that these people will definitely not be bad when they come to be the new rulers.
Although strictly speaking, Li Wendao may be more suitable to be the emperor, after all, he is just repeating what he "once did" before moving here.
Maybe doing it again here will be different from the previous memory, but Li Wendao should still be able to grasp the general context of the matter, so naturally it will be relatively easy to deal with things.
In addition, because of those experiences, the intrigue in the court Li Wendao will definitely not be afraid of anything, and it can even be said that compared to scheming, this group of old guys may really not be Li Wendao's opponents.
Taking a step back, even if Li Wendao didn't play any tricks with them, just by virtue of his strength, Li Wendao could directly crush them.
After all, in this world, in the final analysis, strength is respected, and any conspiracy and trickery in the face of absolute strength is just a joke. Of course, maybe there is really some kind of wisdom that is close to the existence of demons, and it is possible to play with intrigues and tricks without caring about strength, but at least in Li Wendao's opinion, there should be no such existence in Fujian.
It's just that Li Wendao really doesn't want to be an emperor, in his opinion, imperial power is tantamount to the most rubbish thing in the world, and if you can't touch it, you will definitely not touch it.
What Li Wendao wanted to do was just not to waste Master's arrangement, and by the way, he didn't want to let the efforts of these former Li Tang ministers all their lives be in vain, so Li Wendao wanted to help this group of people restore the country.
It's just that he wants to help them, but it doesn't mean that Li Wendao wants to do that position, what he needs to do is just help them, and by the way, he still has to wait for Su Xinyu to return in Changling City.
Although he doesn't know how long this process will take, Li Wendao believes that Su Xinyu will definitely come back, all he needs to do is wait quietly, and by the way, in the process of waiting, he will build this Changling City into the most beautiful city, I just hope that Su Xinyu can feel happy the moment he returns.
If someone knew what Li Wendao was thinking at this time, they might really not know what to say, where is this not to love the country and love the beauty, this is already to the point of winning the world for the beauty.
If you want to make Min the most beautiful city, Li Wendao doesn't know what to do, anyway, he will help Min unify the continent first. After all, Fujian already has a lot of conditions, but this process requires Li Wendao to come over.
As for how long it will take and how difficult it will be, these things are not things that Li Wendao needs to consider. Now Li Wendao just wants to do it, and he believes that he can definitely do it.
At the same time, the unification of the continent by the Min Kingdom was also very helpful to him, after all, he still needed to find the Sansheng Soul Shaping Grass within a year. Although he now knew the characteristics of these things, Li Wendao was only one person after all, and this continent was too big, so Li Wendao could only count on others to help him find them.
Although it is said that the cultivation of monks in secular countries is not high, but there are many of them, and the so-called number of people is powerful, Li Wendao believes that with so many people, he will definitely be able to find clues. As long as there are clues, then naturally everything will be easy.
After all, in addition to these things, Li Wendao really didn't think that there was anything else worth doing in Fujian, and the secular imperial power was really boring.
But fortunately, it seems that it is worth doing this now, otherwise, if the people of Fujian are quite mediocre, although Li Wendao will still do this, but it is inevitable that there will be some discomfort in his heart.
After all, there is no one in this world who wants the person he helps to be a mediocre and incompetent person, and who doesn't want to be able to help a virtuous monarch? Although Li Wendao doesn't care too much about how the people in the world are, if he can, Li Wendao still hopes that the people in the world will not be entrusted to non-people.
After all, a large part of his own help is still for his own selfish desires, and in the final analysis, it is for Su Xinyu and himself. Although it is common to harm others for one's own sake in the course of cultivation, no one will blame them.
After all, there are so many resources, if you don't fight for it yourself, then it must be given to others in the end, so you naturally have to fight for it. And if you fight for yourself, then others will naturally have no way to get it, so this is naturally encroaching on the interests of others. But this kind of thing is normal, after all, everyone has to cultivate, and they must take care of each other, and the path of cultivation is destined to have no selfless people.
Moreover, this kind of resource is nothing, and what's more, some people may directly ruin their luck in the end in order to cultivate. You must know that the dragon vein is the place where the aura of heaven and earth gathers, and in that kind of place, there will definitely be no shortage of heavenly and earthly treasures, so naturally there will be people to pick them.
If it's a person with a conscience, it's okay and won't destroy the dragon vein, but if it's a person who acts unscrupulously, then he won't care so much, and he may not know what he will do when the time comes.
And if the dragon vein is damaged, then the damage caused is especially comparable to that of ordinary countries?
So Li asked, although the starting point is selfishness and what will hurt, but in the end, there is nothing wrong with it, and the practice is like this, so what is worth saying?
But fortunately, it seems that what Li Wendao did would not bring much harm to the people, and maybe even be good for them, so naturally Li Wendao was much more comfortable.
