Chapter 14 Fang Jue: I come, I see, I want to change
Fang Jue is digging potatoes. He wants to see how they grow and whether this breeding has met his expectations.
The sun in Jinling is not very gentle either. Those who work in the fields at this time of year are destined to be covered in sweat.
"Master, can't you just leave these rough jobs to your servants? What will you do when you are tired?" Noriichi said with some distress.
When going down the mountain, the old pavilion master said that if Fang Jue lost even one hair, he would get a beating.
Fang Jue was sweating profusely, but said: "What kind of tiredness is this? Those farmers are tired. The sickles are shaking out sparks under the scorching sun. There will be no food left after a year, and they can't even feed the family..."
"Compared with them, I am just experiencing life."
Although Fang Jue is a gangster, he has been dealt with by the old pavilion master long ago. He now has household registration in seven countries in the world.
It's not even cheap.
With the financial support of Emperor Zun Pavilion and some of his own little ideas to make money, Fang Jue's family fortune is actually very rich now.
"Dianyi, do you know how significant what I am doing, young master?"
Fang Jue felt that he should reveal something to his cronies.
Otherwise, this guy doesn't know what he is doing and thinks he is playing in the mud, which would be funny.
And telling him, it also means asking him to pay attention to protecting these things.
"Hoeing? Digging...how much sense could this make?"
"Physical fitness?"
Dianyi shook his head, feeling that this was neither practice nor hard work, but rather a bit of fun.
Fang Jue smiled and pointed at this patch of potatoes: "Under these seedlings lies the future of the people in the world."
"It's true that food is the most important thing for the people..." Dian nodded.
"You don't understand what I mean. What I mean is... if these things are spread out, people all over the world will not go hungry, and they will be rich in food every year."
"How is this possible..."
Dianyi shook his head.
Fang Jue smiled and said: "Don't believe in the young master's ability?"
Noriichi didn't believe it: "Master, let's not talk about whether your product has such a large output... Even if the output is really amazing, the people's lives will not be good."
"Huh?" Fang Jue was surprised.
"The people in the world are not living well because of the weather and the harsh government and miscellaneous taxes... Even if you can make the people grow more food, you just raise the food tax, and the people still won't live a prosperous life...
"
Dianyi shook his head and said: "Since ancient times, emperors have not wanted the people to live a good life."
These words...
exactly.
It seems that Dianyi has read a lot of books in Emperor Zun Pavilion for many years, so he is not without knowledge.
Fang Jue smiled: "That's why I came to Jinling in person instead of spreading these things directly..."
Of course I understand why ordinary people are not living well.
Meat eaters are despicable!
In order to stabilize the imperial power and create wealth for generations, those in power do not want the people to be too comfortable.
Only when the people work hard for a living, running around for a few grains of silver, and have no time to think and change... can the country and the country be stable.
As soon as people are rich and comfortable, they will think about changes, insufficiency, and the situation in the world...
Foolish people and poor people are the two magic weapons of feudal society.
"Young Master, this is something neither the old Pavilion Master nor I understand... You are so good at the Emperor Pavilion, why do you want to come to this world?"
"Although this place is prosperous, it is nowhere as comfortable as Taihuang Mountain. It's very unpleasant to have intrigues here!"
Yes, there is something leisurely and comfortable in Emperor Zun Pavilion.
But……
Fang Juexiao asked: "Do you really think that I came here just for the prosperity of this place and for the sake of being a great minister?"
Dianyi shook his head. When he was in Emperor Zun Pavilion, he personally heard the young master and the old pavilion master discuss the world.
In his opinion, the young master is a literary star who has come down to earth and has many insights that transcend the times, which are enlightening and even shocking to the heavens.
Such people should not be greedy for worldly enjoyment, but should be aloof and avoid eating the fireworks of the world.
It's like banishing an immortal.
Putting down the hoe and leaning on the hoe handle, Fang Jue asked Dianyi: "Do you know how people in various countries are living?"
"This..." Dianyi was stunned and shook his head, "What does this have to do with me?"
"Right...what does it have to do with you..."
Many people in the world, especially those who have enough to eat, think this way.
Above me, all living beings are equal; below me, they are all ants... What does the life and death of ants have to do with me?
Fang Jue smiled: "But I'm different. I'm here, I've seen it, and I feel that the world shouldn't be like this, so I want to take care of it!"
"How do you want to take care of it, Master?" Dianyi's expression moved slightly, and he tightened his sword tightly, feeling that he was getting excited by the Master's words.
"This world might have nothing to do with me... But now that I'm here, I don't want to come here in vain. Life lasts only a hundred years, and what I have to do is long and arduous..."
Dian nodded and said seriously: "Don't worry, young master, I'm here to protect you at least until you are eighty years old!"
laugh--
Fang Jue couldn't help laughing and believed Dian Yi's promise that the top warriors in this world could indeed live a long life.
Dianyi's age is not ten years older than Fang Jue's. When Fang Jue turns eighty, he will indeed be able to fight.
"correct……"
Dianyi suddenly thought of something: "Master, Ye Hongyi is here."
"Ah?" Fang Jue glared at him, "Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
"Then what...I forgot about it as soon as you started talking."
…
After telling the inside story about the matter, Ye Hongyi looked at Fang Jue awkwardly.
She thought that Fang Jue would not see her, but now she was glad that there seemed to be room for improvement.
But as soon as Fang Jue opened her mouth, she knew that was not the case.
"Miss Ye lives in the Xuanjian Division and has already made a separation with the Ye family. Naturally, the Ye family will not discuss matters with you. I know who to focus on in this matter."
Fang Jue seems to be very generous.
Don't worry, I won't bear any grudge against you. Every wrong you owes you a debtor.
Ye Hongyi's heart skipped a beat, knowing what Fang Jue meant.
Those who entered the Hanging Sword Division were not in their respective family trees and had been removed from the list long ago.
Because people in the Xuanjian Division cannot have relatives or clans, this is an attitude, which means that the law enforcement in the future must be upright and unbiased... It also means that no matter who is offended, you cannot offend their relatives, and you must bear all the responsibilities.
For example, if the Ye family rebels, Ye Hongyi will not be implicated, and vice versa.
Officials of the Hanging Sword Division must have absolute independence, which makes the Hanging Sword Division the most authoritative law enforcement department.
Except for the emperor, no one can show mercy outside the law in the Hanging Sword Division.
This was also the reason why the emperor asked Ye Hongyi before if he still had any selfish intentions. If so, he should resign as soon as possible.
"Mr. Fang, I..." Ye Hongyi bit her lip slightly. She knew that the Ye family had offended this prodigy this time.
She tightened the sword in her hand, thinking about how to save it, but she couldn't think of a way. She felt that she couldn't forgive the person who had played tricks on her so many times.
"Miss Ye, calm down..." Fang Jue saw that she seemed to be about to take action, so he wanted to scare her.
Ye Hongyi quickly let go: "Sir, please don't misunderstand..."
Fang Jue pointed to Dianyi beside him:
"Let me introduce you to the girl. This is my distinguished guest who came from Emperor Zun Pavilion with me, Noiichi."
Dianyi cupped his fists and said, "I've met Mr. Ye."
"Dianyi who is fourth on the master list?" Ye Hongyi thought of it instantly.
Ye Hongyi's eyes widened, and he felt even worse. Emperor Zun Pavilion actually sent such a master to personally protect a young man!
At the same time, Ye Hongyi also understood that Fang Jue was probably doing it on purpose to let herself and the Ye family know.
I just don’t know if it’s a threat or a reminder to the Ye family not to seek death.
Ye Hongyi's heart was shaken by this, her thoughts were affected, and she couldn't calm down for a long time.
…
After Ye Hongyi left, Fang Jue said to Dian:
"Having been in the capital for so long, are your hands itchy?"
"Hey, Master, you really understand me." Noriichi scratched his head. He hadn't fought in more than half a month and was very bored.
Fang Jue nodded: "Then go find someone to play with."
"Who do you want me to kill, Master?" Noriichi was surprised.
"..."
Seeing the speechless look in the young master's eyes, Dianyi knew that he had thought too much.
"Don't keep thinking about killing people. This is the capital. Don't be too arrogant." Fang Jue said helplessly.
"yes……"
Fang Jue handed over a note and said: "This is the address of the masters from all over the capital. You can take turns coming to challenge me and let people know that you are mine..."
"Oh, I understand. The young master wants to demonstrate his martial arts skills to prevent young people from taking risks. Do you find it troublesome?"
After all, Noriichi is a Jianghu person. Although he has read some books, he still doesn't understand some things well.
Fang Jue didn't explain too clearly and said with a smile: "Be more decisive in your actions. The more beautiful you win, the better. But be careful not to kill or cripple you. What I want is reputation, not hatred."
"Okay! Master, look at it, I'll knock them down one by one... By the way, master, can I challenge Xiao Chaoguo and Mo Yuan?" Dianyi rubbed his hands, and finally he could fight according to the order!
To him, Fang Jue's words were an imperial edict, an order from the old pavilion master.
