Pei Huaijie, who was supported by the Henan Aristocratic Family and represented the interests of the Henan Aristocratic Family, Yu Baoning, who was himself a member of the Henan Aristocratic Family, and Fang Jun, the core figure who was in charge of Luoyang to implement the administrative order, these three people gathered together.
Representing the different interests of various factions, they naturally have their own agendas and agendas.
However, they found consistent interests at a certain opportunity, and they naturally hit it off.
As for the Henan Aristocratic Family who suffered a "backstab", who cares? At this point, even though the Henan Aristocratic Family understands that they have suffered heavy losses in this competition for interests, they are helpless and are elected to protect their interests.
Because of the change in stance, Pei Huaijie naturally no longer
To protect them, Yu Baoning, as an "ally", chose to be an "anti-bone boy" for his own benefit. Coupled with the extremely powerful Fang Jun who represented the center, this formed a huge trend. Who can
Block?
Anyone who dares to stand up to resist and obstruct at this time will be the target of a concentrated fire attack from the three parties.
No one can survive the combined attack of these three parties.
What's more, who can sacrifice himself for the benefit of everyone?
…
The next morning, the heads and deacons of the Henan aristocratic families gathered at the main store of "Dong Datang Trading Company" in Cihui Fang. The crowds were crowded and the occasion was unprecedented. Although these families had already formed an alliance and moved forward and retreat together, they were also close to each other, and many of them had no contact with each other.
Most of the aristocratic families had not had much contact with each other and did not know each other, but today they all know each other.
, a bridge of communication. At the beginning of the hour, the family heads and deacons gathered together. Under the auspices of Pei Huaijie, they signed a letter of intent agreeing to redeem the land occupied and annexed by each family with money, and agreed to complete the land survey in the entire Henan Prefecture.
,by
The land is redeemed at an average price of ten guan per mu. If there is insufficient money and silk, the firm will be responsible for the loan, and the monthly interest shall not exceed five cents...
The so-called alliance has been torn apart by the "backstabbing" of Pei Huaijie and Yu Baoning. Even if they are unwilling and reluctant, under the general trend, the heads and deacons of each family still signed the letter of intent.
Fang Jun then ordered someone to deliver the letter of intent to Chang'an immediately and present it to His Majesty.
The situation was decided. In a good mood, Fang Jun immediately ordered a banquet. He ordered fine wines and delicacies from several restaurants in Luoyang City and entertained various family heads and deacons in the main hall of the business. During the banquet, Fang Jun once again made people see the depths of the ocean.
Drinking capacity, almost
He toasted everyone who came to drink till their glasses were dry and shocked the whole audience.
…
"Hoo!" Although he drank a lot, he did have a bit too much today. Fang Jun felt tipsy like never before. After the banquet was over, he drank honey water under Wu Meiniang's service. After taking a bath, he changed into a set of clothes and felt energetic.
Vibrant
Sitting in the back hall, talking to Li Tai and Xu Jingzong.
Li Tai looked at Fang Jun's normal expression and said with envy: "You are in really good health. You drank so much and you recovered in such a short time."
What man wouldn’t envy this kind of physical fitness?
Good physical fitness not only means being able to drink, but also means being able to fight for a long time and persist in certain aspects, making every wife and concubine satisfied. Satisfaction is every man's dream... Fang Junshu
After taking a sip, he changed the honey water into tea, took a sip, and said with a smile: "Your Highness, you don't need to be envious. You are in good health, but you are just a little too fat. You only need to lose thirty or fifty kilograms, and you will be the same."
Spiritual
Times." Li Tai shook his head and smiled bitterly: "You can grow fat even if you drink cold water, so what can you do? In order to set up county schools and township schools in all states and counties in the world, there was a period of time when I traveled all over the Guanzhong in wind and rain, and my face was
I've become a bit darker, and my fatness has also decreased.
Some, but once they rest, the flesh will grow back quickly."
This is a problem of physical fitness, related to genes, and Fang Jun has nothing to do. He just advises: "You should still keep exercising. Regardless of whether you can lose weight or not, strengthening your physical fitness is very useful."
With a physique like Li Tai's, no one can tolerate being pampered, eating well, and not exercising all day long.
Li Tai nodded and stopped continuing this topic.
Exercise is easy to say, and eating less doesn't sound difficult either. However, unless one has great perseverance, it is extremely difficult for a person like him who loves eating and is extremely wealthy to do it.
"Pei Huaijie was well aware of the situation. Seeing that the general trend was unavoidable, he decisively changed his path and cooperated with the implementation of the central government's decree. Otherwise, without his assistance, it would have been extremely difficult to implement the measurement of land acres."
The officials who had been supported by one's own family suddenly turned against one's own family. Who could resist?
Especially after the "penalty and redemption" system was abolished, the world's aristocratic families attach great importance to the career prospects of their children. Between losing some visible benefits and pursuing longer-term benefits, they can only choose the latter. Fang Jun nodded and said: "This is
Pei Huaijie was the one who took the greatest credit for the implementation of the "land measurement" order in Henan. But I have always looked down upon such officials. They only served as officials and only planned their own future, but did not care about the empire.
They don’t care whether the decrees are beneficial to the country, let alone whether the people at the bottom benefit from it. I call them 'official beetles'." This kind of people are even more terrifying than "politicians", and most of the "politicians" have
They may have their own governing ideas. These ideas may be right or wrong, but they will stick to them consistently. However, "official beetles" are different.
There is only the benefit of one family and one surname in the world, and they can change their stance at any time for the benefit of one family and one surname. They don't care about the rise and fall of the country, or the dire straits of the people. They only have naked interests in their eyes.
But I thought: Isn't this a secret mockery of me? Speaking of which, am I considered an "official bug"? But as an official, shouldn't I be planning for my own future? Working hard for the people, but
Many times, the people may not know what they, as officials, have actually done, and the implementation of certain policies may even lead to misunderstanding among the people. Not only will they not receive the evaluation they deserve,
Instead, there would be a lot of scolding... Why bother? Fang Jun didn't know what Xu Jingzong was thinking. Seeing that he didn't say anything, he reminded him: "Don't think that the signed letter of intent is a done deal and it's done. The next process of 'measuring the land' is especially important."
Note, never
Due to the conspiracy of some people, there is a confrontation with the family members. If the trend rises again, it is possible that the success will fall short."
The closer you are to success, the more careful you must be. There are too many stories of capsizing in the gutter and falling short of success.
Xu Jingzong solemnly nodded: "Don't worry, Duke of Yue, your subordinates will know the importance." If Fang Jun hadn't been sitting in the middle and strategizing, he would have returned to Chang'an in despair under the pressure of the Henan family, betraying His Majesty's trust, and...
Without a good official reputation, you will probably have to work somewhere for the rest of your life.
Working as a deputy in a department and waiting to die, the network resources accumulated in the academy will never be realized again.
So now I respect and fear Fang Jun, obey his advice, and treat him like a god.
Several people chatted about the situation involving these interests, and then turned the topic to the construction of the Eastern Capital. Li Tai sighed and frowned: "Although Luoyang was established as the Eastern Capital by Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, and built it vigorously, it became a more prosperous and prosperous city at that time.
It is a city better than Chang'an, but after the war in the late Sui Dynasty, ruins and broken walls can be seen everywhere in the city. Emperor Taizong
At the beginning of the emperor's accession to the throne, Luoyang was demolished. If you want to make it suitable for the scale of the 'Eastern Capital' in terms of scale and layout, you need to make great efforts." Xu Jingzong then laughed and said: "It would be fine if it were someone else. It is indeed difficult.
It's like ascending to heaven, but His Highness is sitting here, but it will definitely happen naturally. Furthermore, didn't the Duke of Yue give you hundreds of thousands of coins and silk before? Money can make ghosts come true.
If you grind the mill and spread the money and silk, countless building materials will naturally arrive in Luoyang, and you can build whatever you want."
When Li Tai mentioned the money donated by Fang Jun, Li Tai remembered the assassination that night and glared at Fang Jun bitterly. Fang Jun quickly took the pot and poured tea for Li Tai and said with a smile: "If I hadn't struck first, I would have done something wrong.
, alarmed all the forces, and anyone else who came here would definitely kill His Highness. Besides, even though it caused a false alarm for His Highness, dozens of people were killed.
Wan Guan can also be comforted, right?"
Li Tai blew his beard and glared: "Do you think I don't know what you are hiding? That money is for me to build the Eastern Capital. If I send it to the palace's warehouse, will you just watch and say nothing?" Fang Jun was a little embarrassed. That sum was
Of course the money was given to Li Taiying to build the Eastern Capital, but it is difficult to admit it: "Emperor Taizong built the Wei Palace on the land he gave to His Highness in Luoyang. It has not been properly repaired over the years. Now His Highness is sitting there.
It's natural to build the Eastern Capital in Luoyang and renovate the palace. Doesn't this mean it falls into your highness's pocket? I don't feel bad about this money. Your highness, if you have the guts to put it in your pocket, go ahead."
Li Tai cursed.
He knows very well the origin of this money, how dare he guess? If he dares to take this money as his own today, countless clan members will come to visit him tomorrow. Maybe they won’t ask for money openly, but they can borrow money to make up for the cheating of Fang Jun.
Is it okay to make a shortfall? If you refuse one or two, can you still do it?
Reject everyone?
That is to say, this money is used to build the Eastern Capital, so that the clan members who were blackmailed by Fang Jun can shut up and suffer a loss. Ignoring Fang Jun, Li Tai looked worried: "There is no shortage of money and silk.
The company here can also mobilize building materials from all over the country and even overseas, but I am short of people! The huge city of Luoyang looks prosperous and beautiful, but in fact it is dilapidated.
How easy is it to repair it? It was Yu Wenkai who was responsible for building the eastern capital of Luoyang back then. He was a master of architecture and was famous all over the world. How can I have that ability?" The construction and maintenance of a city are simple to say, but there are all kinds of things involved in it.
There are countless kinds of professional knowledge, and there is no one like Yu Wenkai who has built a building that is unparalleled throughout the ages. Where can you find another one?
