Shen Zong took a deep breath and lowered his head slightly. His chest and abdomen were full of anger, but he did not dare to show it at all. He gritted his teeth and replied in a solemn voice: "Then I will follow the Duke of Yue, five hundred strings!"
Fang Jun was reluctant, tapping the table with his fingers, squinting at him, and asked: "What, you are not angry? With your attitude, if it were two years ago, believe it or not, someone would have let you go out sideways. ?”
The tone of voice was extremely calm, as if he was talking about everyday things, but it made Shen Zong feel stunned.
Thinking about Fang Jun's majestic power in the south of the Yangtze River and the evil spirit rampant in the east of the Yangtze River... he quickly calmed down his emotions and said in panic: "I dare not feel even the slightest bit dissatisfied. It is really an honor for my family to have the family's property come under the eyes of the Duke of Yue. I'll go back to the Ming tribe now, and I'll send someone to meet the Yue State bus later."
He didn't dare to ask about the salt farm and sea trade. Although Wang Jing had previously patted his chest and said that there was nothing to worry about, this guy, who is strong on the outside but weak on the inside, was helpless in front of Fang Jun. It was obvious that he was just a golden jade. Besides, the rest of the dandies among them can only place their hopes on whether the Taiyuan Wang family can fully mobilize in the future and use their powerful strength to force Fang Jun to let go.
If even the Wang family of Taiyuan cannot suppress Fang Jun, then the Shen family of Wu Xing may have misjudged the situation this time and suffered a big loss...
Wang Jing glanced at Fang Jun faintly, turned around and walked out.
The sky was gloomy, the dark clouds were pressing down like lead, and the thick water vapor in the air seemed to be able to be squeezed out with a handful, making people feel depressed and breathless.
Wang Jing watched silently as hundreds of soldiers stood in formation in the square in front of the store, wearing helmets and armor. The private soldiers of the Shen family who had clashed earlier had been taken to unknown places. The common people stood at a distance and pointed at this place. , seeming to be fully mocking him, a waste who has high ambitions but no understanding of the depth.
Since he was a child, Wang Jing has grown up in the praise of people around him. He has always been among the best among his peers in terms of both mental and academic performance. He is a typical "other people's child" in other people's words. In addition, The aura given by the eldest son and grandson of the Taiyuan Wang family, even Wang Jing himself can feel the dazzling brilliance he carries.
People like me are born to stir up troubles, govern the world, enjoy all the success in the world, and then be famous in history and be famous for generations to come.
But who would have thought that when he took the initiative to ask for a job for the first time, he would encounter such humiliation.
It seemed that all the education he had received in the past, all the knowledge he had learned from books, and all the truths he had heard and heard had lost their effect in front of Fang Jun.
After defeating ten people with one force, when all the identity and background that I am proud of are useless, I seem to be in trouble.
…
…
In the restaurant, watching Wang Jing and Shen Zong leave one after another, Li Tai took a sip of wine, ate some food, and sighed: "When I was in Guanzhong in the past, many people praised Wang Jing and thought that he He will be the next great Confucian who will be famous all over the world. I have heard about it many times and longed for it. I urgently need to explain it. When his mother passed away, he was so sad that he settled down in a house to observe filial piety and study behind closed doors without caring about worldly affairs. Everyone even thought of this person. He will definitely become a great weapon. However, it seems now that he is short of experience. Maybe he has his own knowledge in his chest and abdomen, but after all, it is just talk on paper."
Fang Jun agreed: "Reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles, and traveling thousands of miles is not as good as reading countless people. No matter how talented a person is, blindly working behind closed doors can only be divorced from reality. People in the world are full of holes, and things in the world are ever-changing. From There is no one truth that can be universally accepted. It is not enough to have a foundation. It is also necessary to increase experience and develop the ability to constantly adjust according to people and circumstances before you can achieve a career."
As the saying goes, society is a person's best teacher.
You study hard in the ivory tower, but in reality there are not many useful things in society. Everyone is basically at the same starting line the moment they enter society. If you want to stand out, you have to know what you should always stick to. , and what can be changed.
Li Tai felt that it was really comfortable to talk to Fang Jun. The other party could always understand what you meant and respond appropriately. It was like "a thousand cups will be too little when drinking with a close friend".
"It's true that Wang Jing is full of talent and learning, but when it comes to his ability to deal with people, he's not at the same level as you, Erlang."
Fang Jun said humbly: "Your Highness is ridiculous. Wei Chen has an upright nature. Outsiders say he is a stick, and Wei Chen is often troubled by this."
Li Tai smiled and said: "Don't pretend to be crazy in front of me. Whoever thinks your roommate is a stick is the real stick."
"Don't dare to act like a lowly minister. This bad temper often causes trouble, especially when you are not respectful to some seniors. I don't know how many punishments I have suffered for this. I was scolded by my father at home, and reprimanded by His Majesty in the court. He was even given a military stick from time to time. A beating with a whip..."
"Haha, what you call a stick is just different from person to person. Although you have never respected old men like Linghu Defen, I have never seen you disrespecting the likes of Duke Zhongyuan and Duke Wei. .You have such deep thoughts."
"Look at what you said, Your Highness, Linghu Defen has provoked a minor minister. Naturally, he can't let him do whatever he wants at his old age? But Duke Zhongyuan and Duke Wei not only never criticized the minor ministers harshly, but also defended them everywhere. If I continue to disrespect them, won’t I become a mad dog?”
"Aren't you a mad dog? You'll bite whoever you catch."
"Your Majesty, I don't want to hear these words. Even if you are the prince of the Tang Dynasty or a royal family member, you cannot taint someone's innocence!"
"Haha, are you still innocent?"
…
The two of them were talking and bickering, but Du He on the side was silent and kept drinking.
Because he didn’t understand the “realm” and “level” mentioned in these two words at all, let alone “reading thousands of books and traveling thousands of miles”.
The level of the discussion between the two had already gone beyond his cognitive scope... It made him feel as if he was inferior to others, his IQ was somewhat insufficient, which greatly affected his confidence and made him feel inferior.
What made him even more depressed was why Fang Jun was able to chat with King Wei like this, chatting about seemingly incomprehensible topics without showing any timidity, and why could he still receive affirmation and praise from King Wei from time to time?
It doesn't make sense.
You can just say that King Wei is one level higher than Du He. After all, this one is the most knowledgeable among the princes. Even His Majesty Li Er is very fond of him and thinks that he is the "thousand-mile horse" of the Li and Tang royal family. But Why does Fang Jun have such knowledge?
He squinted at Fang Jun, wondering.
I remember that back then, he and Fang Jun were "brothers in distress" who spent a lot of time eating, drinking and having fun together. They both didn't seek advancement and were both obsessed with having fun.
But why did Fang Jun suddenly become so good?
Could it be that this guy secretly became a disciple of an expert and secretly made up lessons?
…
Li Tai didn't notice Du He's abnormality and chatted some gossip. While he was drinking, he asked Fang Jun: "What are Erlang going to do next? Are they going to knock on the door one by one like this, and whoever dares to disobey will pinch the other person." Beat him on the neck until he is convinced and honestly gives up those properties and goods with both hands?"
Fang Jun smiled and said: "Of course it won't work. If this is really the case, wouldn't Wei Chen become a veritable 'stick'?"
Li Tai thought for a while and said hesitantly: "What do you mean...to remain unchanged in response to all changes?"
Fang Jun praised: "My parents are the ones who gave birth to me, and your highness is the one who knows me!"
Li Tai said: "That's right. It's okay for you to be fooling around. But if I follow you and act arrogantly everywhere, those imperial censors will not be able to send the memorial to the father's desk like snowflakes. But don't worry. Impeachment of this king? We are being reasonable and holding a knife in our hands, so we should sit tight on the Diaoyutai. Now that the news has spread, it is others who are anxious."
Du He on the side felt depressed, drinking one glass after another. Although this Jiangnan wine was not as strong as the northern liquor, it had a long lasting power and made him dizzy when it happened.
At this moment, Du He was drunk and felt more and more sluggish. He couldn't keep up with the rhythm of Li Tai and Fang Jun. He was confused and couldn't help asking: "Your Highness, what are you talking about?" ?”
Li Tai glanced at him. Although he didn't like to see him, he was still his brother-in-law. Speaking of the fact that he was the same mother as Princess Chengyang, he was closer to Du He than Fang Jun, so he said patiently: " This Wangjiang Tower is located in a busy city, the center of the city. News spreads quickly. I am afraid that what happened here has spread throughout Suzhou. Suzhou is an important town in the south of the Yangtze River. All the big houses have their businesses here, not only doing business. Making money is also the responsibility of inquiring about the news. Most people must have been waiting and watching before, but now that they have heard such strong news from us, they will definitely weigh it and make a choice, or listen to Wang Jing's persuasion and side with the King of Jin. , but they have to face our imminent suppression, or they will surrender obediently and let us drive them. We have now sent out our strong attitude, and the rest is to wait for the Jiangnan nobles to make a choice."
