Fang Jie stayed in Sanjinhou's mansion for the whole afternoon, and Wu Yidao caught 13 fat carp by the side of the small lotus pond, so Fang Jie refused to leave even more, because Wu Yidao He proudly said that his best skill is to make a whole fish feast.
Fang Jie is not a glutton, the reason why he stayed is because he still needs to listen to Wu Yidao's explanation. Until today, Fang Jie realized that his knowledge of the big city of Chang'an was almost zero. He thought he had learned a lot from his inquiries, but the longer he lived in Chang'an, the more he felt ignorant.
Wu Yidao didn't have the slightest dislike for this young man who refused to say goodbye when it was almost dark. On the contrary, he liked this guy's greed very much. In his own words, he is very right-tempered.
"Want to eat a whole fish feast?"
he asked with a smile.
Fang Jie shook his head and said seriously: "It is better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish."
Wu Yidao repeatedly waved his hands and said, "I didn't intend to give you fish, so naturally I don't have any means to give it to you... But you have to drink when you eat, and you have to talk and brag when you drink. Some things about old sesame seeds and rotten millet can be compared with others." Tell me, I'm bored anyway."
"The more the better."
Fang explained four words.
"You are greedy."
Wu Yidao pointed to Fang Jie and said with a smile, "I haven't seen a guy as greedy as you for many years... But I like people who are greedy. Ever since I started doing business, I have understood a truth. In this world, people are constantly motivated. The most powerful reason for growing and improving is still greed. If a person loses even greed, what else can make him full of strength?"
"Love, justice, maintaining the stability of the world, protecting the homeland and so on are also reasons."
Fang Jie replied stinkingly.
"Get out."
Wu Yiyi cursed with a smile.
"I don't want to roll."
Fang Jie sat down by the lotus pond, picked up the small stones at his feet and threw them into the pond one by one, which scared many fish away and stirred up ripples in the calm lotus pond. He suddenly remembered that in his previous life, when he was a child, there was a small pond behind his house, and his favorite thing to do after school was to stand by the pond and use stones to float the water. And childhood in this life seems to have never had such simple and satisfying fun.
Wu Yiyi picked up the fish basket and beckoned to his servants, who asked them to clean up the fish. He went to the deck chair and lay down, looking at the setting sun in the west, he said with emotion: "Just now you threw a stone into the lotus pond, and you broke the peace. For example, you are the pebble, and the lotus pond is the whole lotus pond." Chang'an City...Compared to the lotus pond, your little pebble is insignificant. But who knows when a little pebble can stir up a pool of spring water?"
He glanced at Fang Jie and said, "You have already caused ripples in the imperial capital, think about it carefully, because you, a small person from a border town, can rely on the splash of water that falls into the water , It's really a strange thing to shake all the big shots in the court."
Fang Jie didn't quite understand Wu Yidao's meaning: "I didn't think I had such a great ability."
"You're not capable?"
Wu Yidao rolled his eyes at him and said, "Do you know how much turmoil has turmoiled in the court since you entered Chang'an City? Let's start with you leaving Fan Gu. The inspectors of the Ministry of War and the Dali Temple died because of you." Die, right? Wu Peisheng, the eunuch of the Imperial Study Room Bingbi, died because of you, right?"
"Without this matter, would Li Yuanshan and Li Xiaozong do such a big evil thing? If they didn't do evil, and didn't spend money to win over people from Qingya and the Ministry of War, would Gao Tianbao, a thousand households in Qingya, die? Will Meng Wudi, the deputy commander, become one-armed? After Gao Tianbao died, his body was transported to Chang'an City and buried in the ground in front of the household department. Will the servant Hou Junci and those dozen officials beheaded by His Majesty?"
"Furthermore, after you arrived in the imperial capital, Wailang Yingjiu, a member of the military department, wanted to kill you and tricked you into the martial arts arena, and then you met Luo Wen... Because of you, Luo Wen won the first place in the martial arts academy, and it was precisely Because of this, he wanted to get rid of you. That's why Yingjiu and Luo Wen's people attacked at the same time that night. Resign without taking the blame."
"It was because of you that Hou Wenji went to see Luo Wen in private. As for what he talked about with Luo Wen and what he wanted to do, although he had no way of knowing. But it was precisely because of the matter of Ke Shengju that his majesty was affected. So close that Hou Wen couldn't hide it even if he wanted to! Maybe you don't know... After you left Keshengju, those frontier soldiers praised you full of praise, and you have become the leader of the frontier army characters."
After Wu Yiyi finished speaking, Fang Jie's first reaction was: "How do you know so many things?"
Wu Dao first pointed to his eyes and mouth: "Because I am not at a low position, I can see far more things than ordinary people. And I like to inquire about strange things, so I can ask Received a lot of news... "
He pointed to his head again and said, "If you think about what you see and ask, you can deduce a lot of things again."
"Why are you paying attention to me?"
Fang asked.
Wu Yidao thought for a while and replied: "Because you made the imperial capital uneasy, and besides, I'm not the only one who pays attention to you?"
Fang Jie shook his head slightly and said, "If it's possible, I'd rather be like Longyou Li Fubo when he entered the Martial Arts Academy. No one paid attention to him when he entered the door. This would save a lot of trouble."
"You can't even lower your profile and enter the Martial Arts Academy now."
Wu Yiyi smiled and said: "There are quite a few people who made it clear that they wanted to hit you in the face, so they swung their arms and hit them with all their strength. Your face is swollen and you still don't feel relieved. It's best to knock out all your teeth. If you want to make a low profile, it's equivalent to sticking out your face and letting someone slap you."
"I haven't found out that I have any blockbuster skills until now."
"If you don't have the ability, you have to carry it."
Wu Yidao was silent for a while and said: "After you passed out in Ke Shengju, His Majesty said something to those frontier soldiers... Your Majesty said that he is the backstage of all the frontier soldiers, and you don't need to be afraid of anyone. There are more than a few hundred famous families in the world. family, but no one dares to say that it is bigger than the royal family. Are you a frontier soldier?"
"yes!"
"Then you are still afraid of a fart? You should think carefully about how to win face for His Majesty. By the way, it would be good to bring back the atmosphere of the Yanwu Academy. You must know that when Taizu established the Yanwu Academy, the Yanwu Academy was not It is controlled by the children of the aristocratic family. Most of the first batch of people who entered the Martial Arts Academy were veterans under the command of the Taizu. Although there were no amazing characters, the atmosphere of the Martial Arts Academy was very upright. After that The situation of the Great Sui Dynasty is becoming more and more stable, and the atmosphere of the Martial Arts Academy is becoming more and more worrying."
"Fortunately..."
Wu Yiyi smiled and said: "Your Majesty intends to change, and you have caught up with a good time."
…
…
After dark, the excitement in the streets and alleys of Chang'an City gradually subsided. Although places like restaurants and brothels are still booming, the streets have become deserted. Fang Jie listened to Wu Yidao's so-called old stories about Chen Zhima and rotten millet in Sanjinhou's mansion, but they were actually telling him how to deal with the turmoil in Chang'an City, both openly and secretly.
Wu Yidao didn't give Fang any solution, but just told him that you have no way out. And, just in time for one of the best times for soldiers. Fang Xie had no way of knowing how high-level secrets the richest man in the Sui Dynasty had access to. He could only vaguely speculate that Wu Yidao's true status might be more important than many officials in the court.
In fact, he was right.
Wu Yidao knew more secrets than most officials in the court. For example, the terrifying battle that His Majesty is secretly planning. In the dome of Changchun Garden, the emperor told Yang Kai, king of Xujun, that he had secretly mobilized the grain from the seven granaries north of the river to the northwest, and also transported from the three palaces enough weapons and armor to equip hundreds of thousands of troops. . What a huge batch of materials these things add up to, and how difficult it is to transport them in secret, how can they be concealed from others
If the imperial court wants to mobilize transportation, it must work hard. With such a big commotion, even a blind man would be able to hear something, not to mention those people in the court are smarter than monkeys.
Without using the power of the imperial court, who in this world can have such a large sum of money to transport supplies for His Majesty
Of course it's Wu Yidao who is the world's best seller!
With the strength of Huo Tong Tian Xing, although it is a bit difficult to do this big event for His Majesty, it is definitely the best choice. When people notice the unusual behavior of Huo Tong Tian Xing, it is already too late, and a large number of food and grass materials have almost disappeared. Sent to the northwest of the empire. Because no one would have thought that His Majesty would entrust such a big matter to a commercial firm!
Most importantly, mobilize troops.
In addition to the imperial navy, only the freight fleet of Cargo Express can secretly transport such a large number of people to the northwest.
Wu Yidao's status is much higher than Fang Xie guessed.
A businessman can be named a marquis by His Majesty, and can make his business famous all over the world. No one can find out the secret behind this. But what is certain is that without the support of the emperor, how could Wu Yidao's firm have formed such a huge scale? If Wu Yidao hadn't done many things secretly for the emperor, how could he have monopolized so many businesses
It is terrible when an official character is added in front of the identity of a businessman.
In Sanjinhou's Mansion, Wu Yidao didn't seem to be stingy with his time, he seemed to be happy to talk and get along with this little man who logically couldn't have a relationship with him. Although as he himself said, he would never invest any amount of money for Fang Jie, but could only tell him some news and reason, but for Fang Jie, this is undoubtedly the greatest help to him.
A wild boy from a poor country wants to gain a foothold in a metropolis like Chang'an. There are too many things he lacks. Fang Jie is like a hungry greedy ghost, constantly eating, trying to fill his stomach, even if he can't fill his stomach, he can eat as much as he can.
Nanshitiao is a very ordinary street, such a street is as insignificant as a capillary in Baili Chang'an City. Walk casually in Chang'an City for half a day, so that you can walk at least a dozen or twenty ordinary streets.
The most famous place in Nanshiertiao is an inn called Guipeng Inn. It is said that when Emperor Shun of the Great Sui Dynasty, who is the grandfather of the current emperor, lived here, he studied hard all day, only drank a bowl of porridge for each meal, and ate some pickles given by the store. . Although it is not enough to starve to death and not be unable to pay the rent, it is true that life is very shabby.
But it was such a person who became the first number one scholar from a humble family in the history of the founding of the Sui Dynasty.
This scholar became a blockbuster, and when he was named the number one scholar by Emperor Shun in the palace examination, he surprised the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty. Of course, because of this, the reputation of Guipeng Inn immediately became louder. So much so that in the end, those who came to Beijing to catch the exam, even those with a lot of money, would come to live here for a while, sticking to the blessing.
This Sui's first number one scholar from a poor family is called Huai Renli. When mentioning this name, few people remember it, because the name he later changed to himself was too famous, and it was called Huai Qiugong.
It was already very late, and the boy at the Guipeng Inn sat by the counter and took a nap. Because it was not yet closing time, and at this hour, few people came to invest in the shop, so he was a little bored. When he was in a daze of sleep, he suddenly heard some noise which startled him. He rubbed his sleepy eyes and looked over, subconsciously asked: "Guests live in the hotel?"
At some point in the inn, a person came in. He was dressed strangely and looked very cold and arrogant. He ignored the boy's question.
The little guy took a closer look, and immediately opened his mouth wide in surprise. If someone is willing to try, this will definitely put an apple in his mouth.
The person standing in the room was a middle-aged man who looked about forty years old, with a tall and straight figure. Broad forehead, glaring eyebrows, high nose, and sharp-edged face. The most eye-catching thing is the clothes on his body, which are clothes that ordinary people would never and could not wear.
The bright red Taoist robe has many complicated patterns embroidered with gold thread. I can't see the beginning or where I'm going, and I can't see the end of any line. The patterns of all the lines are complicated and troublesome.
Great priest in red robe!
I am an ancestor!
The little guy came to his senses all of a sudden, and almost shouted out in surprise!
"I am coming."
The great priest in red robe looked up at a room on the second floor of the inn, and said three words in a flat tone.
