I can sign in in Datang

Chapter 496 Do you think I'm a fool?

"What does Zichu mean?" Feng An asked suspiciously.

"There are many countries overseas, but the countries that are connected with Datang are only a small part of them. Another purpose of sending the fleet to sea is to open up routes and find those countries. My silk, tea, and ceramics from Datang Gold, silver, copper, spices, and precious stones are exchanged overseas. As long as new routes can be opened up, the number of ships going to sea in Guangdong will increase tenfold and a hundredfold. At that time, aristocratic families will set their sights overseas. Are you afraid that Guangzhou will not develop? ?” Lin Xuan said.

Feng An laughed and said, "Just do what Zichu said. When I turn around, I will ask people to summon skilled shipbuilders to go to Guangzhou. It will take about three to five days. At that time, I will go to Guangzhou with Zichu."

Even if Lin Xuan didn't gain anything from going to sea, he would just catch up with some shipbuilding craftsmen.

But if it succeeds, it will be an opportunity for Lingnan.

"Thank you, old man." Lin Xuan said with a smile.

When things are settled, it is natural for the host and guest to enjoy themselves.

Lin Xuan also felt relieved and enjoyed the singing and dancing.

Seeing this scene, Feng An smiled and said: "Zi Chu is exhausted, beautiful women are the best medicine for relieving fatigue. If Zi Chu has a dancer that he likes, he can bring them back."

Lin Xuan is speechless, can you stop giving women away every now and then?

Is this to test me?

Returning beautiful women is a good medicine to relieve fatigue, you are an LSP, and you are not afraid of exhaustion.

Feng An has more than a dozen sons, and even more daughters.

What's the matter, many emperors in ancient times were not as good at giving birth as him, whether it was a pervert or something.

"No, these beauties are all as beautiful as gods. The old man must love them very much. A gentleman doesn't take what others like, so how can I take love with a knife?" Lin Xuan quickly declined.

"There are so many beauties in the world, how can I be reluctant to give up? Even if I give all these dancing girls to Zichu? It is their honor that these dancing girls can serve such a talent as Zichu." Feng An laughed.

"Thank you for the kindness of the old man. The princess and I are getting married soon. If we bring some girls back, I'm afraid..." Lin Xuan said.

Feng An laughed and said: "Yes, yes, why did the old man forget about this matter? When Zichu returns, the old man must prepare a generous gift."

"Then I would like to thank the old Duke." Lin Xuan said with a smile.

The banquet didn't end until midnight.

After seeing Lin Xuan off, Feng An led his sons back to the hall.

"Father, why did you agree so happily? I believe that [-]% is definitely not Lin Xuan's bottom line." Feng Zhichen said.

"Of course the old man knows, and since His Majesty also participated, Lin Xuan must have some trump cards, otherwise, how could His Majesty believe him?" Feng An said.

Feng Zhichen was puzzled and said, "Father, since you know, why did you agree? Why don't you fight for more benefits?"

"Short-sighted! Although Your Majesty is a wise monarch, do you really think that His Majesty is relieved that our Feng family is in charge of Lingnan because of a broad mind? No, the reason why Your Majesty is relieved is because he knows that the old man has no ambitions, and the Feng family's reputation in Lingnan. We The Feng family has already been famous for a while, what do you want so much money for? Rebellion?" Feng An scolded.

Many people thought that Li Shimin trusted him because he personally sent his favorite son to Chang'an as a proton.

In fact, this is only part of the reason.

The most important thing is that Feng An pacified Lingnan at the end of the Sui Dynasty, and kept Lingnan safe. The people in Lingnan are grateful to Feng An.

If there is no definite evidence to move Feng An, there will definitely be chaos in Lingnan.

At that time, the imperial court will need to send heavy troops to stay in Lingnan for a long time.

In this way, it is not worthwhile at all.

Of course, this has a lot to do with Feng An's lack of ambition.

Otherwise, with Li Shimin's courage, even if there is chaos in Lingnan, he will not keep Feng An.

These two points are complementary.

In Feng Ang's view, no matter how much [-]% of the benefits are, it is not important to make Guangzhou as prosperous as Suzhou and Hangzhou.

The Feng family is not short of money, even if there is more money, it will not mean much.

However, the development of Guangzhou will be beneficial to the future of the Feng family.

……

Feng Zhixun returned to the courtyard where he lived, came to a remote small courtyard, pushed open the door, walked in and closed the door.

A middle-aged man in the room was writing. When Feng Zhichen came in, he stopped writing immediately and asked, "How is it?"

Feng Zhichen sat down, poured himself a glass of water and drank it, and said: "It failed, my father directly agreed."

The middle-aged man smiled and said, "My lord, I have already said that these small tricks are useless to Lin Xuan. He is not that simple. Let's follow my method."

Feng Zhichen's face was gloomy and uncertain, and it was because he didn't want to use middle-aged methods that he asked Feng Zhidai to pretend not to know Lin Xuan and provoke Lin Xuan.

As long as Lin Xuan makes a move against Feng Zhidai, it will be tantamount to slapping Feng An in the face, and it will be difficult to discuss cooperation at that time.

Who knew that Lin Xuan was not fooled and did not attack Feng Zhidai.

During the banquet, he proposed that there were too few benefits in order to prevent Lin Xuan from cooperating with the Feng family.

He did all this because the middle-aged man in front of him was sent by the Cui family, who promised him that as long as he prevented Lin Xuan from cooperating with the Feng family, he could marry the daughter of the Cui family.

Although he has a wife, it doesn't matter, just divorce.

If he could marry the daughter of the Cui family, with the support of the Cui family, it would be very easy for him to inherit the title.

Seeing Feng Zhizhen hesitate, the middle-aged man said calmly: "Lin Xuan has a good relationship with Feng Zhidai in Chang'an. Killing him will benefit both of us. Of course, if you are willing to give up your title, just pretend I didn't say anything."

"How to kill him? He has hundreds of guards around him. Once I dispatch troops, I won't be able to hide it from my father." Feng Zhichen said.

It is impossible for him to give up his title.

He didn't want to kill Lin Xuan directly before, not only because he knew the consequences of killing Lin Xuan very well, but also because Lin Xuan had too many soldiers around him, and he had no way to kill Lin Xuan except to mobilize the army.

Lin Xuan brought three hundred soldiers. If he wanted to kill him with one blow, he had to mobilize at least a thousand people. After all, Lin Xuan could run away if he couldn't beat him.

It may be fine to mobilize dozens of people in his capacity, but if there are too many people, Feng An will definitely be alarmed.

"If you want to kill him, you just need to transfer those soldiers." The middle-aged man said.

"How to adjust? He is in the city now, and he will go to Guangzhou with my father in a few days. I have no chance at all." Feng Zhichen said.

The middle-aged man smiled and said: "Mr. Geng is a general, and so is Lin Xuan. There are only those ways to entertain guests. He will definitely invite Lin Xuan to go hunting. I think as the eldest son, there must be some confidantes, right? Just need Prepare some strong bows and crossbows, set up an ambush in advance, it shouldn't be difficult to kill him, right?"

Feng Zhichen looked at the middle-aged man with a gloomy face, and said coldly: "You think I'm a fool? My father invited him to go hunting, and he died. Can the court let my Feng family go?"

The middle-aged man smiled and said: "Eldest Young Master knows this, and Geng Guogong naturally knows this too. Naturally, Geng Guogong has a way to hide this matter. And Lin Xuan is dead, will the court take action against the Feng family because of a dead person?"

"Even if my father will hide this matter, can he let me go? Do your Cui family want me to be a pawn?" Feng Zhichen said coldly.

"Eldest Young Master, don't misunderstand. Even if Geng Guogong knows that the Eldest Young Master did it, so what? He doesn't want to make a scene known to everyone, so he won't pursue it. As for the others, the Eldest Young Master has the support of my Cui family, so why should he care?"

It has to be said that Feng Zhichen was persuaded, and he knew that even if Feng An knew that he had assassinated Lin Xuan, he would help him conceal it.

After all, there is no difference between his assassination and the Feng family's assassination of Lin Xuan.

But the title must have missed him.

But with the support of the Cui family, it will be different.

"Okay!" Feng Zhichen said.

The chance of him inheriting the title is not great, why not take a gamble?
