People of the same kind will have the same kind of fun. Even if they don't have fun, they will force themselves to learn these fun. It is impossible for those second-generation officials of the founding generals and their circles to come to Linjia Village to play all the time. They only come once in a while to experience things.

.

Therefore, Liu Fan did not design those high-end restaurants at the beginning of the design. It was not because his strength did not allow it, but because there was not much need. It was faster and safer to make money from businessmen and some outside literati.

It can be seen from Cheng Chumo's previous attitude, and it can also be seen from Cheng Yaojin's attitude that Liu Fan is more of a use than an admirer.

People who can be used by others are valuable people. They are either being used or taking advantage of others. Liu Fan sees this very clearly, so he has no resistance in his heart.

Entering Cheng Yaojin's mansion, in Huaidefang in Chang'an City, Cheng Yaojin's family did not have so many rules, so he was taken directly to the martial arts field of the old Cheng family by his servants. Old Cheng was using a horse to dance with tigers and tigers.

, Liu Fan saw Cheng Yaojin getting closer and closer to him without moving. When Ma Shan suddenly stopped in front of his door, Liu Fan actually felt his face hurt as if he had been slapped.

Cheng Yaojin left the horse on one side, and naturally someone carried it and put it on the shelf.

Cheng Yaojin wiped his sweat and said with a smile, "Are you the Zheng Liufan from Linjia Village?"

"Exactly, see the general!" Liu Fan said, cupping his hands.

Cheng Yaojin waved his hand and ordered people to serve wine and food. The quality of the wine seemed to be average. In the Tang Dynasty, it was also very simple to distinguish wine. There were 骠, which is clear wine, mash, which is cloudy wine, 醴, which is sweet wine, 醍, which is red wine, and sour wine, which is white wine.

Wait, what I drank today was green ant wine.

The alcohol content was not high. Cheng Yaojin drank a large bowl by himself first and then motioned for Liu Fan to drink too. Liu Fan was not used to drinking this kind of wine, so he had been in Datang for so long and would not drink unless it was the Chinese New Year.

The quality of the wine is so bad that people who were used to drinking Wuliangye Moutai Yanghe in their previous lives will naturally drink it.

The two drank for a while, and Cheng Yaojin took the lead and said: "I am a martial artist, and I can't talk in circles. I have already ordered someone to take over the recliner business that you sent me, but this is not enough for me, Cheng."

I have regained the face of the eldest son of the government. If everyone is like you, then I will not have the dignity to hold my head high in the capital from now on!"

Liu Fan smiled and said: "This is the greatest sincerity I can give you. I am not a businessman, but an upright person. This involves the interests of many villagers. Being able to give you a recliner is already the biggest concession. Of course, for Young Master Ling in the Lin family

Everything the village received was considered by a certain family to be fair and reasonable treatment, and there was nothing wrong with it!"

Cheng Yaojin put down the wine bowl in his hand, looked at Liu Fan coldly and said, "Do you think that because you contributed the method of making salt and wrote a few poems, no one would dare to touch you?"

"Of course I don't think so. A certain family has always believed that this world has always been a place where there are people outside the world and there are people outside the world. What does the general think?"

Cheng Yaojin sneered and stopped talking. Liu Fan's words were nothing more than reminding him that Li Shimin valued Liu Fan, not to mention the relationship with the old god. If the old god had not given Liu Fan an official position before, this little one would

If you kill him, you will kill him. It will be equally profitable to send someone to manage Linjia Village.

Liu Fan continued: "If the general still feels that it is not enough, then a certain family will not know how to deal with it!"

Cheng Yaojin said after a while: "Is this how you usually talk to people?"

"I haven't liked to communicate with others since I was a child. Unless invited by the general, a certain family would not come!" Liu Fan said sincerely.

I have social phobia myself, and I am used to talking so much to strangers. It is not a disrespect for these powerful people, but that you have to express your personal opinions even if you can't resist, so I will give you whatever you want.

, Li Shimin is still young now, if you try anything, the censor will impeach him to death.

And just taking it made Liu Fan very unhappy, so naturally he would not spoil him at this moment.

Cheng Yaojin naturally knew the stakes involved, so when he saw Liu Fan not following his own example, he felt a little headache. Dealing with Liu Fan felt like dealing with the censor.

"You are not afraid of death!" Cheng Yaojin said in a low voice.

"I'm afraid of death. I'm more afraid of death than anyone. When I was imprisoned for rebellion, I was so scared that I didn't sleep all night. I don't know whether I will be beheaded or quartered tomorrow, or whether all the tribesmen involved will be buried with me. Oh no, I guess I won't even be able to sleep."

There is no place to bury them, they can only be exposed in the wilderness, but what if I am afraid of death? There are so many people behind me who have to live on their own. Even if there is Mount Tai in front of us, we can only bite the bullet and try to see if we can bear it!"

Cheng Yaojin burst out laughing, filled Liu Fan's glass of wine and said, "Fuck! I'm starting to appreciate you a little!"

Liu Fan drank it and continued: "There are many people who rely on the general to live. It is really not feasible to rely on fields, cloth mills, and other miscellaneous businesses. The profit is limited. I, the junior, can give the general a suggestion!"

"

"Oh? What's your suggestion?" Cheng Zhijie took a big sip of wine and fell on the back of the chair. This chair still comes from Linjiacun. Now with this kind of chair that is more in line with the human body's physiology, the original chair becomes more and more beautiful when you sit down.

Feeling uncomfortable.

Liu Fan smiled and said: "Develop the navy and plunder the surrounding sea areas. There are countless jewels, spices, food, and beauties. The key is that their military strength is not worth mentioning. That is the greatest treasure. Even the Tang Dynasty looks at it

There is countless gold and silver in the Japanese country, tsk tsk, just thinking about it makes people want to bring that wealth back, and then replace all the stone slabs on Suzaku Street with gold paving, that is the real wealth!"

Cheng Yaojin gasped and asked with red eyes: "Is what you said true?"

"I don't know!" Liu Fan shook his head and said: "But the general can take a look at these barbarians who came to Chang'an. What are the goods they brought from thousands of miles to the Tang Dynasty in exchange for? The money is available in that place, but

It comes down to getting something he doesn’t have, isn’t it?”

Cheng Yaojin fell into silence, and after a moment he shook his head and said: "Now that the Turks have not been determined, the rebels have not been suppressed, and the small forces in various places are complicated, it will take a long time to sort them out. At this moment, the navy will undoubtedly

No one can take the risk of increasing the burden on the court before seeing specific benefits. Besides, the Tang Dynasty is already the center of the world, so why bother looking far away!"

Liu Fan smiled and said, "Soon, the eminent monk Xuanzang will go to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures. A detailed record will naturally be sent back then, if he can come back alive!"

Cheng Yaojin was shocked and said: "He requested to go west, but His Majesty refused. Could it be that he dared to resist the order?"

"He has the heart to seek Buddha!"
