Chapter 344: Fan Family Immortal Fate
This is Liu Bu's criterion for hiring people. Since he decided to use someone, he would make up what he wanted and let him do his best to fight for it and fight to the death.
Liu Bu is now maintaining such a big mess of the Liu family, which is actually very difficult. You must know that so many people rely on them to make a living, and they must ensure that these people have food to eat and do things. If they cannot maintain such a situation, it will cause his current situation to collapse.
It can be said that their current situation is that they will retreat if they don’t advance, so in order to make themselves go further, they can only try their best and do everything they can.
In fact, people like Liu Bu and others who try their best to steal money are not just him. Basically, every official is like this, and that is not the case with the imperial court.
Perhaps they were from a poor family, and through ten years of hard study, they were all on the list of the imperial court, and successfully received various benefits. It can be said that in the Ming Dynasty, which official at the level of the central government was not worth millions?
But these people made money and used their personal enjoyment to build houses at home, buy beautiful concubines or hide them at home, while the Liu family just used the money they embezzled and obtained to expand their actual power.
When others get money, they may buy some luxury houses, beauties, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, etc., but Liu Bu did not pursue these things, but took the initiative to sell some of the antiques, calligraphy and paintings in his hands. Even the beauty Chen around him was snatched by him directly. Although he had money, he thought it was too unfair to spend it like this, so he directly instructed his men to snatch it.
Chen Yuanyuan, a beauty who was once famous in Suzhou, was taken away by someone half robbery. At that time, it was a major case that caused a sensation in Suzhou. Her boss, Li Laoguai, even reported the case, but in the end it was left unresolved and no one could find it.
Even if there are government forces, they can find Shandong and Liu's family, why can't they be able to survive?
Today, Liu Bu has an extremely high status, and his status is second. He has real power that many court ministers cannot have. What is real power? It is because he owns the army. For example, even if the emperor is a minister in the court, he can be exempted directly. However, if the emperor wants to waive Liu Bu's position, it will not be easy.
You should know that the consequences of his removal from Liu Bu's position were extremely serious. The Liu family army was not an army that could remove military power by just one imperial edict.
So Liu Bu was very confident in doing this. Even if he snatched him, Chen Yuanyuan, he had no intention of being low-key. He knew that the other party would come to the door sooner or later, and would be able to check it out sooner or later, but what's the harm? How could he, the boss of the Liyuan, do Liu Bu?
What's so strange about him forcing a robbery of a civilian woman? Where can one be an officer not a robbery of a civilian woman? This meets the standards of officers in the eyes of the literati. You must know that in the eyes of the literati, the officers are Qiu Ba, who is the ones for their guidance and use. They don't need a good reputation, they just need to be obedient.
Learn from one example and it means that Liu Bu can do this in this regard, so when he sets this trap, he can do this. Unless he is caught on the spot, even if there is evidence pointing to him afterwards, there is no way to deal with him. So Liu Bu said that even if you know this method, not everyone can play this trick, nor is it warning or intimidating Wu Xiuwen, but it is the real thing.
Because they planned that the plate would be very big, not having enough appetite and not having enough manpower, they would not be able to eat so much money. They were rich and powerful, so they dared to do this. Although it was not considered a robbery, there was no difference between them and robbing.
In many cases, the essence of taking and robbing is the same. They dare to do this because they are full of confidence. As long as they do not openly rebel, in many things, the court knows that they violate the law and regulations, there is no way to deal with him.
The court would definitely be unable to bear it because the Liu family rebelled and chose to suppress it, but the court would never arrest and offend a woman because the Liu family stole the money from some people.
Of course, the great gods and officials in the court will definitely issue documents or use their rights to oppress the Liu family, hoping that they can surrender, but if the Liu family birds with them, they will be able to end up in the end.
It was only after the Liu family and the others had such great confidence that they dared to fuck such a plate and used another way to grab it.
Liu Bu and his wife are both greedy people. They are very eager for money. They urgently need some money to make their army stronger and keep their strength stable. Therefore, they do everything else that can make money except for not daring to raise troops to rebel. For them, this approach is already more conservative and restrained.
Fan Ruoshui, a salt merchant in Yangzhou, was from Huizhou. They first made a fortune by selling wood from Huizhou, and later gradually moved into the salt industry. As a result, they successfully squeezed into this industry and made a fortune from it, becoming one of the very famous salt merchants.
When the Fan family was in great prosperity, their mansion in Xiaodongmen covered an area of more than ten miles, with clouds and over a thousand servants. Although the Fan family was just a white dynasty, he lived a life of luxury and food, and he was not different from the king.
The Fan family has been in full swing for nearly a hundred years. In terms of this, their background is not inferior to the Liu family.
However, the heads of the Liu family for several generations are smart, and their business is getting bigger and bigger, while the Fan family is a weasel-born cub, and one nest is worse than one nest.
By Fan Ruoshui's generation, there was only empty space left. As one of the eight major salt merchants famous in the Jianghuai area, their business share was constantly being oppressed and decreasing. They could no longer be called salt merchants, but could only barely maintain them.
By Fan Ruoshui's generation, they had nothing in reality except for the empty guise of a salt merchant. Their business share had been occupied by competitors, and even their servants were gone and scattered, but there were only hundreds of people left. Fan Ruoshui felt very sad when he was young.
He was like a down-and-out prince. He couldn't help but sigh a lot when he thought of the glory of his ancestors, the desolation of his present, the rolling eyes and humiliation he suffered.
Fan Ruoshui has mediocre qualifications, no ability to do business, nor does he have the ability to make decisions from his ancestors. He just ate and drank and waited to die on the assets left by his ancestors. They had no other skills except eating, drinking, gambling and playing with women. Therefore, the family's business became smaller and smaller, and the business was taken away by the servants in the family. The business became smaller and smaller. In addition, his backstage collapsed in the officialdom and was hit and squeezed by competitors. Their family's business was getting worse and worse, and eventually he had no business to do.
When he arrived here, he had no other income except for collecting rent from the fields and shops left by his ancestors, and he could no longer live a life of spending a lot of money.
Whenever Fan Ruoshui thinks of his ancestors' glory and his current downfall, he always sighs, thinking that the times are bad and the servants under him are bad, and he cannot assist him with all his strength, making his business worse and worse, and becomes a downfall situation today.
Fan Ruoshui must have the idea of revitalizing his ancestral property and restoring his glory, but every effort made him lose more money, without any other result. This made him lose his fighting spirit and he was also confused about the future. You must know that they sell land and land every year. In this era, selling land and land is the most useless person. When Fan Ruoshui thinks of these things, he knows that he has no face to meet his ancestors.
Whenever he thinks of these things, he feels even more sad and sighing. However, he has nothing else to do except sad and sighing. He thinks about how to revitalize his ancestral property and make himself rich overnight.
One night he was sleeping, and suddenly there was a golden light outside the window, and a white-haired fairy who was hazy in the golden light walked out.
Seeing the other party's aura, Fan Ruoshui was very shocked and immediately knelt down and said, "I don't know what the hell of the Immortals are coming?"
This immortal who was lingering in a golden light said, "I am the immortal on Baiyun in Penglai Fairy Mountain in the East China Sea. I have been practicing Taoism on Baiyun Mountain and preparing to become an immortal, but I have never been able to comprehend the great way. After calculating with my fingers, I found that I have a relationship with me. It is because I have received the great kindness of my ancestor Cui Yun Gong eighty years ago. If I cannot repay the great kindness of the Fan family, it will be difficult to reach the great way. So I come to repay the kindness and help your Fan family develop."
Fan Ruoshui was very surprised. He pretended to be incense and worshipped Buddha every day and night, begging God to bless a god with countless gold, silver and jewelry, so that he could get rich overnight and restore his ancestors' glory.
But he knew it was just a fantasy, but he didn't expect that his dream would come true one day, which made him very excited. He knelt down excitedly, kowtowed a few times and said, "Bless our ancestors! Bless our great immortals!"
This god-like man who was lingering in a golden light said, "What wishes do you have one by one? If I can do them, it will definitely help you achieve them."
Fan Ruoshui said without hesitation: "I want to be a high-ranking official, the largest official in the world, and the most women, it is best to be an emperor."
Since it was the god who gave him wealth and hot water, he was not weak and expressed his deepest desire in his heart. His fellow villager Zhu Yuanzhang, a beggar and a beggar, can be the emperor. He is a dignified son of a salt merchant, and a noble son of a noble family, but he can't be the ordinary.
The Baiyun Immortal shook his head and said, "You have no emperor's destiny, nor the official's destiny. The Immortal cannot do this."
Fan Ruoshui was very disappointed and said, "You are all gods, are there anything that gods cannot do?"
