Traveling through: The down-and-out beauty refuses to be cannon fodder

Fang Yuanzhi couldn't hold back his face, but he refused to give in, and said with a grin: "Mr. Zhang, you got up early!"

I am not a guard in the first place, I am not caught by you temporarily, and I don't have to wake up early and be greedy for late hours like this, life is harder than a chicken, more tiring than a dog!
Zhu Jianshen was already fully dressed and asked, "Go for a walk?"

Fang Yuanzhi couldn't refuse, so he stepped up to follow.

In the weather in mid-February, the leaves of the mulberry trees have just come out, and dewdrops hang on the fresh green, making the cold spring morning extraordinarily lively and vivid.

Even Zhu Jianshen, who was always quiet, said enthusiastically: "The capital is still icy and snowy at this time, and the south of the Yangtze River has already bloomed in spring and is full of greenery. Everyone in the world says Jiangnan is good, and I can't be deceived."

Fang Yuanzhi shuttled through the woods with a light gait, not forgetting to look around: "Jiangnan is more than just this good? The food, climate, and scenery are all excellent. It's a pity that you are all crowded in the capital, so you can't enjoy these benefits."

Zhu Jianshen said: "Back then, the capital of the Ming Dynasty was also in Nanjing in the south of the Yangtze River. Grandfather Cheng insisted on moving the capital to Beijing for the sake of 'the Son of Heaven guards the gate of the country'."

When Fang Yuanzhi was a child, he heard his grandfather praise Ming Chengzu Zhu Di many times. He exclaimed: "Over the past 5000 years, there have been countless emperors in the past dynasties. The only emperor who personally sealed the wolf and lived in Xuxu is Ming Chengzu! He is a true hero!"

Zhu Jianshen is also a fan of Ming Chengzu: "Chengzu is really a great talent, comparable to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty. His old man made five expeditions to Mobei, and he settled the Tatars in the north, and he was in the west of Wulianghai. The number of its chiefs, the south of Vietnam, razed to counties and counties. The land transportation is strong, and the navy is not inferior. Zheng He's fleet, Vega overseas..."

Fang Yuanzhi interjected: "Not to mention anything else, judging from the establishment of the Nuer Gandu Division, the construction of Beijing, the dredging of the Grand Canal, Zheng He's voyages to the Western Seas, and the revision of the "Yongle Dadian", other emperors have made a lot of money. All of these are great achievements. But he has done so many major tasks that cost money and effort, and the country is still in chaos! His ability to raise money and employ people is second to none!"

Zhu Jianshen looked at Fang Yuanzhi with bright eyes, waiting for her to continue.

Fang Yuanzhi's words went smoothly: "The economic foundation determines the superstructure. I don't know how to govern the country, but I think it is similar to doing business, and it is inseparable from the four words of collecting money and employing people. With money, you can benefit others. , others will use it for themselves; with people who can use it, the money will be continuously gathered back. Personally, I think that the most fundamental reason why Emperor Chengzu was able to accomplish so many great things is to use Zheng He well and do it from overseas. Trade sucks blood and makes money to support the financial operation of the entire country."

Seeing that Fang Yuanzhi was silent, Zhu Jianshen said persuasively, "How did you see that?"

Since Fang Yuanzhi opened up the chatter box, he didn't hide it: "For example, business. Our Fang family was suppressed by the late emperor, and our title was deprived. My uncle lost his position and lived idle. But because my family has a jade business to support, and there is a newly opened For the medical business, with the support of money, the old servants who have accumulated for many years can rely on food and clothing, and they still work loyally for our Fang family. It is precisely because of the loyalty of these old servants that our Fang family did not fall immediately, and is still alive. .”

It was selfish for Fang Yuanzhi to mention these things in front of Zhu Jianshen.If Zhu Jianshen stood up from the current quagmire and found a way out, she would put her family's private jade business on the bright side and spread it in front of the emperor, so as to avoid being thrown into trouble in the future.

As for Zhu Jianshen, if he couldn't stand up and eventually fell down, it didn't make any difference whether he told him or not.

At this point, Fang Yuanzhi simply said: "Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven. If you make good use of people, if you have money and people, you may not be able to stand up from the quagmire."

Zhu Jianshen remained silent and just walked slowly.

Seeing this, Fang Yuanzhi stopped in his tracks: "I said that 'governing a big country is like cooking small fish'. I thought the late emperor was too impatient, and the fire was too hot, and he burned a good pot of small fish and shrimp. If some Be patient, take your time, it won't be like this..."

Fang Yuanzhi was brazen enough to show off when he said these things, but at this moment, Jiang Lang was exhausted and stopped talking.

She thought, if Xu Chun were here, he would speak clearly and generously.

She also thought that there are many literati around the emperor, among those champions, second places, and candidates, which one is not the pride of heaven?Thinking about it, Zhu Jianshen has heard it a lot since he was a child, and he is simply playing tricks on his own.

Fang Yuanzhi quickly walked a few steps to catch up with Zhu Jianshen, and added with some embarrassment: "I don't study much, and my words are vulgar, so please don't take it to heart."

The corners of Zhu Jianshen's mouth curled up slightly: "You speak very well, and it is a true insight."

Although Fang Yuanzhi had attended Xu Clan Studies for a few days, his knowledge was very general.All her cultural knowledge was learned in her previous life.When communicating with Xu Chunping, he often showed timidity.Being praised at this time, I feel very happy.

The two went back to the house one after the other for breakfast.

Just after eating, someone entered the house.

Seeing that Fang Yuanzhi was a somewhat kind-faced young man, it was a little strange.

The young man knelt down to Zhu Jianshen and said, "Slave Liang Fang pays homage to master."

Only then did Fang Yuanzhi suddenly realize: this young man seemed to be the servant he had saved in the river.

When the master and servant met, she didn't need to stay in front of her. Fang Yuanzhi walked out of the house in a few steps and looked around.

I don't know if Xu Chun sent this boy here?

Hard work paid off, behind a house, Fang Yuanzhi saw Xu Chun who was whispering orders to a man in black.

When Xu Chun saw her, he quickly ended the conversation with the corners of his mouth raised, and the man in black left quietly.

Fang Yuanzhi stepped forward, not knowing what to say for a moment, but stared at Xu Chun with wide eyes.

Xu Chun stretched out his hand to caress her cheek, and said in a low voice with a smile: "It's really hard for you these few days, you've done well."

Well done you don't come to see me? !
Fang Yuanzhi didn't say anything, just lowered his head slightly, and deliberately turned his head to avoid Xu Chun's hand.

Xu Chun looked around, didn't say anything, and said after a while: "I have to take the first step in the past few days, and Mu Liang will take full responsibility here. He is my confidant and is trustworthy. If you need anything, you can go to him. "

Fang Yuanzhi looked up at Xu Chun in disbelief!

What is more important than protecting the emperor's safety? !
If the emperor died in the south of the Yangtze River, what good fruit would those people who brought the emperor out have?
When questioned, he still couldn't say it.

Xu Chun looked at Fang Yuanzhi's big eyes that seemed to be able to talk, and immediately understood her worry and incomprehension, and he explained in a low voice: "Good boy, I will explain to you later... this journey has been arranged properly, it shouldn't be If there is any problem, don't worry."

The word obedient dispelled all Fang Yuanzhi's grievances and incomprehensions.

She nodded: "take care of yourself, when will I see you again?"

"Maybe in Suzhou, maybe in Chun'an... You should also take care, go quickly..."

Seeing Xu Chun urging him to leave, Fang Yuanzhi still turned around and walked away.
