Chapter 75 Oh, this world
In the imperial study, the two brothers Zhu Shang stood straight, and Emperor Zhu Hongtian thought. At this time, they had already reported Liu Feiyun's words to his father without missing a word, and then added some of their own opinions.
As princes, they not only need to learn, but also apply what they have learned, so that they can live up to their identity.
He was very satisfied with his son and said, "The emperor is good, and what he has learned is applied. As princes, future crown princes and princes, you must not talk about war on paper. You should do everything yourself. Only when my Zhu family dynasty can last forever."
"My son understand." Zhu Shang and the others nodded to show their understanding, and then Zhu Shang said: "Father, Liu Feiyun did what he did in Bailu County, which shows that there is great potential for developing business. What the father thinks?"
However, facing his son's inquiry, Zhu Hongtian shook his head: "It's not the time now. Business is feasible, but it cannot be implemented, at least not now."
"Father, why is this?" Zhu Zhou, who was a little more anxious, asked first.
"Can the emperor know what position does the merchants have in the world class today?"
Zhu Zhou: "Scholars, farmers, industry and commerce have the lowest status."
Zhu Hongtian asked again: "What do other people think of them?"
"Businessmen are seeking profits and are disdainful to join forces, and sometimes they are even more like slaves."
"Since that's the case, how can they make them have any possibility of rising?" Zhu Hongtian sighed: "How can I not know the importance of business. But these ministers and aristocratic families all advise me not to compete with the people for profit. What are they doing? The biggest business travelers in the country are not them. If I said today that I want to improve the status of merchants, the next day, they will definitely kneel on my Golden Palace for various reasons, and may even create gaps. There must be no mistakes within my Xihao Kingdom now."
"Father, you are the emperor, and this move is beneficial to the country. Besides, they share weal and woe with Xihao Kingdom and prosper together. Why do they still block it?" The eldest prince Zhu Shang was still puzzled.
"Haha." Zhu Hongtian said disdainfully: "That is that my Xihao Kingdom is now booming and breaking the territory from the outside world. They can get more benefits. What's more, the court will be so harmonious in the hands of my royal family."
"But the basis of all this is that my royal family has not harmed their interests. If we develop business and improve the status of merchants, merchants are rich and even if they gain power, they will inevitably threaten their status. They will not let their interests be harmed, even a little bit."
Zhu Hongtian sneered all over his face. Xihao Kingdom now seems to be in the same mind as the ruler and the ministers, but is that true? It’s just a combination of interests. If Xihao Kingdom is in trouble, these people will definitely turn against you immediately and even stab you in the back.
"Son of the Emperor, you must remember that our royal family's confidants will never come from aristocratic families. Benevolent and loving the people, the people are our foundation. Prime Minister Qin Bin and General Chen Bingshu, they all come from civilians and are also loyal to the royal family."
"My son understands." They remembered the teachings of their father.
"Okay, you go back. You can have appropriate contact with that Liu Feiyun. This person has great talent, but he does not have much friendship with my royal family. I hope you can conquer him and serve my royal family in the future."
"Yes, I will take my leave first!"
"Go."
Seeing his son leave, he withdrew his gaze and chuckled, "Liu Feiyun, he is indeed a talented person. I have given you a title. I hope I won't let me down, otherwise..."
This proposal was wiped out just now, and Liu Feiyun must have not expected this ending. However, he had long forgotten about it. At this moment, he was wandering around the streets of Xijing City with Liu Yi and others.
After all, it is the capital of a country, with many good things, various exquisite jewelry, and the best rouge powder in a country. Especially rouge powder, which is not produced in the Liu Feiyun Valley. Since the love of beauty has come, I must bring some back to my wife.
After inquiring, Liu Feiyun came to the famous rouge paste shop and Hongyan Pavilion, which is the best-quality rouge shop in Xijing City.
He has no experience with rouge powder, and even in his previous life he has never bought cosmetics for his wife. He has to make up for his past regrets in this life.
"Can anyone introduce me?" He didn't understand, but could ask.
The business in Hongyan Pavilion is very good. Everyone comes to buy rouge and water powder. Almost all the people in and out are women, and the waiters inside are also girls with the upper-level beauty.
Seeing Liu Feiyun come in surprised many people, you must know that men will hardly come here.
However, the waiter came forward enthusiastically and introduced: "Hello, is there anything you can help you?"
"I need to buy some good rouge powder for my wife. Do you have any recommendations?" Liu Feiyun didn't say nonsense. If she didn't understand, it would be better to say it directly.
"Young Master, your wife is so happy." The waiter smiled sweetly, and then asked, "I wonder if my wife's age, what is the fragrance she likes, and what her preferences do you like?"
As the saying goes, women are to please themselves. Women put on makeup not only for themselves, but also for the men they like. It is reasonable for the waiter to ask such questions.
Liu Feiyun did not hide it: "My wife is only seventeen years old, and I like a more elegant atmosphere."
"I understand. Please come with me, my son. The few rouge powders here meet your requirements."
In the end, Liu Feiyun spent more than ten taels of gold, and the price was not ordinary. But he got what he paid for. Since he wanted to buy it, he must buy the best one.
Afterwards, Liu Feiyun went to buy some jewelry and went back to the restaurant in the evening. He had dinner and rested. The next morning, he set off when the city gate was opened.
I have to say that this time I came here was really a scam. The emperor said, "I traveled thousands of miles away just to meet me." After meeting, I had a half-full meal, but I didn't give me any other real things. The money I bought this time was my own money.
Liu Feiyun complained a lot about the emperor in his heart.
I was anxious when I came, but I didn’t have much leisure time when I went back. The temptation to go home was very anxious.
After a few days, they had lunch in the wild that day, and they set off again. However, before they could walk far away, the carriage stopped again. Liu Feiyun in the carriage heard Liu Yi outside, saying, "Master of the Valley, there is a crossroad blocking the road in front of him, and someone should have done it on purpose."
"Be careful." Liu Feiyun pushed open the curtain road.
As soon as he finished speaking, more than a dozen people rushed out from all over the world to surrounded Liu Feiyun's carriage.
The group of people were not masked and stepped forward and said arrogantly: "Come down, come down and hand over all the money you have on them."
"Who are you?" Liu Yi said in a deep voice.
"Who? Hahaha, brothers, tell him who we are!" One of the big men laughed unscrupulously.
"We are the Green Forest heroes who specialize in robbing families. They can hand over all the money and grandpa will save you a life. If you don't know the good, let you see how sharp the grandpa is!"
"Hurry up, come down all of it, can't you hear it?"
Liu Feiyun was unmoved and looked at them coldly. With Liu Yi and others, although these people had weapons, they were still still a collapsed dog. Moreover, the words of these people made him very disliked. What a hero in the Green Forest is just a bandit, it seems that they are not awe of life at all.
Liu Feiyun would never let such bandits who ignore life and even have the idea of themselves and others.
"Liu Yi, deal with it and ask where their copycat is."
After saying that, he put down the curtain, and soon the laughing voice outside became screaming, but in just a few minutes there was no movement.
"Lot master, the location has been found out. Who are we?"
"Go and have a look. Although we don't meddle in other people's business, some people who can get rid of it will be considered as reducing the filth in the world."
"yes."
One person was left to watch the carriage, and the rest touched the mountain village. All the secret whistles encountered along the way were removed by Liu Yi and others.
"How is the situation inside?" Liu Feiyun asked Liu Yi, who had just inquired about the news.
"It's a small mountain village, all of which are young and middle-aged, and there are about 30 people in it." Ran Liu Yi's face was a little bad: "Master of the Valley, I saw some bad things in the mountain village."
"What's up?"
"In a room, I saw many women wearing clothes and being kept by these bandits like animals." After saying that, Liu Yi quietly waited for Liu Feiyun's order.
Liu Feiyun had no expression on his face, and there were only a small ripples in his heart. The fate of the world is unpredictable, and it is not that he can control it. Didn’t he be like them before?
But since we have met, let’s save them together. Liu Feiyun said: “Can the people in the village solve the problem quietly?”
"Yes." Liu nodded, not thinking that he could not finish it.
"Then it's all solved. Those poor people give them some silver to go back on their own and don't expose themselves."
"clear."
Liu Yi and others lurked in, while Liu Feiyun and others were in the same place. He knew that he should not cause trouble.
The whole process lasted less than an hour. Liu Yi came back again and was not injured except for some blood. Liu Feiyun did not ask for details, as long as he knew that the problem had been solved.
"Let's go, find a place to clean it first, and then continue on the way."
I don’t know if the end of the year is approaching, and the bandits are much more active. In just a few days, Liu Feiyun and the others met several groups, and it seems that they are all preparing for the purchase of New Year’s goods.
"Haha, this world." Another problem was solved, and Liu Feiyun sat in the carriage and let out a sneer. Even the powerful country of Xihao Kingdom could not avoid the rampant bandits. Darkness really exists in any era.
The most elusive thing about people is because in life, how many people can stick to their bottom line. Often, in the face of power and wealth, these have long been thrown out of the sky.
"No matter what, as long as it doesn't affect me, it has nothing to do with me when the sky falls." At this moment, Liu Feiyun suddenly missed Lin Yuxue a little and spoke to Liu Yi outside: "Liu Yi, speed up the itinerary and go back to Sanliu Village as soon as possible."
"Okay, the valley master is ready."
"drive."
