[Comprehensive] Feasibility report on the restoration of the country

After Su Shi's birthday banquet, Murong Fu set off for Bianjing to prepare for the next year's provincial examination. Along with him were Qin Guan, Qiao Feng and Su Mai.Unlike the other three, Murong Fu's designated destination for Su Mai's trip was not Bianjing, but Shanghai.Different from the financial center of later generations, today's Shanghai is just a small fishing village affiliated to Pingjiang Prefecture.

"Shanghai? If I remember correctly, it's just a town, right?" Su Mai asked in surprise, "Where do you plan to build the port?"

"That's right." Murong Fu nodded. The future Shanghai is the shipping center of the whole country and even the entire Asian region. It would be best to establish a port there.

Su Mai shook his head, apparently not agreeing with him very much. "There are so many people in Quanzhou, it's really not suitable." In particular, in addition to serious business, we also have to do some business of selling weapons, stealing coins, and robbing pirates. "Just why not Hangzhou? You should know that Hangzhou has better conditions than Shanghai."

"Sea ships and river ships have different drafts, and the port is built in Hangzhou, so it is very inconvenient to change ships when going out to sea." Murong Fu thought for a while, and added another sentence. "Let Brother Bao go with you this time. Although he has an out-of-the-way personality, he has had a lot of contact with officials in the past two years, so he can help you."

"But Hangzhou has a lot of people and a big market, so it will be very convenient to deliver goods." Although Su Mai has no opinion on who will accompany him, he obviously still has a soft spot for Hangzhou.

"That's why I plan to build roads in Shanghai, leading directly to Hangzhou and Jiangning, and use four-wheeled carriages to transport goods. If I can negotiate with the local government, it would be great to buy the entire Shanghai town." Murong Fu frowned slightly, Stern way. "Hangzhou has a lot of power, and I really don't want to manage it. It's not as good as Shanghai. It's just a blank sheet of paper and easy to write on. This time, I intend to stay in the center of the imperial examination, and find a way to let the teachers stay in the center and aspire to the position of prime minister."

When it came to his father's future, Su Mai wisely kept silent.Su Mai and Su Shi were originally father and son, so they know his personality well.Su Shi is innocent and open-minded. Although he is talented, he has a big mouth and often offends people without knowing it.With his qualifications, if the court is really full of people, then he will definitely be able to make a career.But at the moment, the conspiracy and slander of those villains is enough to make Su Shi feel like a fight, not to mention the faction between the old and new parties, these are not something an upright gentleman like Su Shi can handle.He immediately skipped this topic, and only asked curiously: "What is the relationship between that Xue Zhiyan from Jiangning Mansion, Boss Xue, and you, and you take such good care of his business?"

Murong Fu couldn't help laughing, and he said after a while: "A flower blooming alone is not spring, but a garden full of purples and reds. In the future, I never thought of taking all of the business, so even if it wasn't him, there would be someone else. Besides, even though Xue Zhiyan got the I won’t wait for him first, and what happens in the future depends on his ability.” Compared with two-wheeled carriages, although four-wheeled carriages have higher requirements on the road, they are indeed more stable and fast, and they are a kind of status symbol.Everyone has the heart of comparison, especially in the market.Murong Fu believed that after the completion of the port in Shanghai Town, more and more businessmen would choose to use four-wheeled carriages to travel, but in order to ensure that the four-wheeled carriages could run, they had to spend money on road repairs.Highways are the blood that connects a country. Wherever the transportation is convenient, not only the economic level is improved, but also it is firmly tied to the central chariot, and there is no risk of division.The strategy of this four-wheeled carriage is so important, naturally the sooner it is promoted, the better, how could Murong Fu delay time because of Xue Zhiyan alone?

Su Mai nodded but did not speak.He knew that although Murong Fu's words were cold, it was the attitude that a superior should have, considering the overall situation rather than trivial matters.Just like what Murong Fu has done overseas in the past two years, no matter what obstacles he encounters, all he does is crush them with the fastest and most effective method, without fear of any gossip.Thinking of the iron-blooded means of this seemingly gentle and elegant junior in the Zhuan Kingdom, and comparing it with the officials who were determined to reform and strengthen themselves but fell into party struggles, Su Mai couldn't help shaking his head slightly, and said: "So, we The route is to depart from Shanghai Town, pass Koryo, Japan, Ryukyu, enter Nanyang and pass Sanfoqi, Cochin, Siam, Mayi..."

"Cross the Straits of Malacca and reach Selan or the Arabian Peninsula." Murong Fu took the conversation and directly extended the destination of the voyage by about half.

Su Mai was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "We have never been out of the Strait of Malacca, and it has been very difficult for us to subdue the Buddha in the past two years. Besides, there are Arabs coming to Song Dynasty for trade, isn't it enough?" Three Foqi is a kingdom that exists in the Great Sunda Islands. During the Song Dynasty, his power reached its peak. He owned fifteen vassal states, and firmly locked the throat of the Great Song Dynasty in the South China Sea.Two years ago, Murong returned to Haiyuanhang, and he was spoiled by the hospitality and obedience of Korea and Japan. He encountered inhumane and high taxes in Sanfoqi.In a fit of rage, Murong Fu mobilized his troops to fight all the way from the Three Buddhas to the Zhunian Kingdom, and conveniently replaced the oppressed poor people in the Zhuren Kingdom with a good ruler who "spreads benevolence and righteousness and is friendly to the Song Dynasty". Shi Shiran returned to the Song Dynasty with ivory, pearls, frankincense, rose water, cloves and other things.

Murong Fu shook his head, and said softly: "The so-called reciprocity, if the Arabs can come, we should be able to go too. The world is so big, and if we always keep around this one-acre land, our vision will be narrowed."

"Listen to you!" Su Mai said straightforwardly. In the past, the only place in the world in Su Mai's eyes was the Central Plains.After his father Su Shi was relegated, he thought his life had come to an end.He has read a lot of poems and books, but because of his father, he will never be admitted as a Jinshi. He tremblingly seeks a position as an official, and depends on others until the end of his life. At least he will pass on the blood of the Su family. This is the life Su Mai planned for himself. the way.It wasn't until Murong Fu took him out to sea that he realized that there was a wider world beyond the king's land. Compared with this, what is the imperial examination?In the past two years, Su Mai has seen and experienced a lot overseas, and he is no longer the honest man he used to be.Murong Fu trusted him and cooperated closely with him. His friendship for Murong Fu can be summed up in just one sentence: A man who is a confidant dies!Thinking of this, he blinked suddenly, and said narrowly: "A flower blooming alone is not spring, but a garden full of purples and reds... Although the words are not polished enough, at least they have rhymes. How about adding a few more sentences?"

Murong Fu couldn't help laughing, these two sentences are from the collaboration chapter of "Zeng Guang Xian Wen" in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties, there are only two sentences in total, how can they be made up?Just mentioning writing poems, his expression also became serious, and he said seriously: "Right now, there is indeed a difficult matter that needs to be solved urgently!"

"What's the matter?" Seeing Murong Fu's seriousness, Su Mai couldn't help but sit up straight and listen carefully.

"At the Qionglin Banquet, according to the rules, the new subjects are required to make standard poems. If I can't do it then, wouldn't it be a great embarrassment?" Murong Fu looked at Su Mai with a sad face, and added meaningfully when he saw that he was indifferent. "It's fine if I'm the only one who loses face, I'm afraid I will teach others to see the teacher's joke!"

Su Mai was dumbfounded, and after a while, he got up suddenly and said, "Since my destination is Shanghai Town, I won't go with you." Then, he lifted the door curtain and shouted at the coachman to stop, and jumped off the carriage.

"Brother Mai," Murong Fu leaned out after him, and said anxiously. "You can't just ignore death!"

With his back turned to him, Su Mai let out a long sigh, tried his best to suppress the urge to beat him up, and said slowly: "The official poems at the Qionglin Banquet have their own opinions. It's too early to prepare. Shaoyou didn't want to be with you Do you want to go to the imperial examination together? Just ask him then!"

"To put it bluntly, in case he loses his name..." Murong Fu whispered behind him.

You don't even know how to write poetry, how can you have the confidence to believe that you can pass the exam, and you will fail the exam if you swim less?Even though they knew each other very well, Su Mai could bear Murong Fu's turning his face like a book, but he really couldn't bear his shamelessness and just said coldly: "Farewell!" Say half a word.

After Su Mai left, Qiao Feng also brought Jiang Changyun and Wu Changfeng to bid farewell.This time, Murong Fu didn't understand, the destination of Qiao Feng and his party was also Bianjing, what kind of speech is this?He immediately asked, "Did I not greet you well?"

"You worry too much." Qiao Feng shook his head and said seriously. "Guangzhu Wang ordered me to go to the Bianjing Dazhong sub-helm to handle errands. Time is tight and we can't delay any longer."

When Qiao Feng said that, Murong Fu understood that his trip to Ruzhou was for private use, and in order to reach Bianjing on time, he had to rush as hard as he could in the next time, making up for the time.Murong Fu has never had a good impression of Wang Jiantong. Thinking of Qiao Feng's work in the beggar gang all these years without even having this kind of freedom, he felt even more uncomfortable, so he couldn't help laughing: "The troubles in the world are nothing more than money and power, Brother Qiao Since you are in the Beggar Clan, you don’t need to think about power. Then, but the Dazhong sub-helm is short of money from the leader Wang?"

As soon as Murong Fu's words came out, Wu Changfeng's heart skipped a beat.The rudder master of the Dazhong sub-helm was named Li Qing, and he was originally a brother and brother with Wang's gang leader. It is proof that Wang's gang leader handed over the Dazhong sub-rudder located at the foot of the emperor to Li Qing.Bianjing is the capital of the first kindness, and the help fee paid by the Dazhong branch has always been generous.However, in the past two years, Li Qing repeatedly delayed the money when he saw that Wang's health was deteriorating, and even refused to participate in the Beggars' Clan meeting.Gang Leader Wang had no choice but to send Qiao Feng to deal with it.Of course, it cannot be said so bluntly to the outside world.Therefore, the reason for Qiao Feng to go to Bianjing is: to ask if the bandits in Bianjing Wuyou Cave are related to the Beggar Gang?Although the gang of beggars is poor, they don't do the kidnapping and extortion of women and children.Now that Murong Fu explained the purpose of Qiao Feng's trip, Wu Changfeng only felt that his words were meaningful, as if Chief Wang only had money in his eyes but no morality, so he couldn't help but remain silent.And Jiang Changyun was young and energetic, and he couldn't help but yelled loudly: "Mr. Murong, why do you speak so badly?"

Jiang Changyun's words undoubtedly acquiesced to Murong Fu's statement, but Murong Fu ignored him, just stared at Qiao Feng and said in a deep voice: "It doesn't matter whether the words are good or not, the key is to do things beautifully! The money, but the name has to be found." As soon as he said this, Qiao Feng and Wu Changfeng's brows twitched at the same time.Before they could talk to each other, Murong Fu's last words were heard in his ear, "In my opinion, there are tens of thousands of beggar gangs, and it's really unwise to rely on the brothers to stretch out their hands to barely get enough food and clothing. One day, Brother Qiao If you can make your own decisions, you might as well come and talk to me about other ways to make a fortune. Overseas is a big place, Brother Qiao should really go and see it.”

Murong Fu's twists and turns knocked and beat, Qiao Feng couldn't help laughing, and said after a while: "Mr. Murong is quick-witted and sharp-tongued, I'm afraid life will be difficult for Yushitai in the future." Taiwan was built with one hand, and Murong Fu served Su Shi like his father. This revenge for his father is also the meaning of the title.

Murong Fu saw that he did not answer when he brought up the matter of going to sea with Qiao Feng several times, and he also knew that he valued Wang Jiantong's kindness very much, so he stopped forcing it and said seriously: "What do people and dogs care about? Dogs don't care. It’s easy to jump out and bite someone, the dog owner should be hit.”

These two sentences are understated but there is a bit of bloody smell hidden, Jiang Changyun and Wu Changfeng couldn't help being surprised at the same time.The two turned their gazes to Qiao Feng, only to see Qiao Feng shaking his head silently, and casually took off the mink cloak on his body and handed it to Murong Fu: "I can't persuade you to do anything. In short, think twice before acting." , if you don’t take advantage of it, come and find me.”

Murong Fu didn't take the cloak, he just smiled and said: "Brother Qiao said, I feel at ease. You keep the cloak, and you ride the horse too. It is said to respect the clothes first and then the people, dress like a rich man Bianjing is in charge, but dressing as a beggar and going to Bianjing is begging for food, there is a big difference!"

Murong Fu's mink fur cloak is very good in color, at least it costs tens of thousands, but Qiao Feng doesn't seem to know the goods, and he is not polite to Murong Fu at all. He put the cloak back on his shoulders and asked casually: "What do you want?" Where do you plan to settle in Bianjing?"

"Brother Bao San has bought a property outside the Zheng family, if Brother Qiao comes to see me for a drink, I will sweep the couch to welcome you." Murong Fu said it easily, but Wu Changfeng couldn't help but smack his tongue inwardly.At the feet of the Son of Heaven, there has always been an inch of land and an inch of gold, and the Zhengmen area has always been a gathering place for powerful people.Murong Fu was able to buy property outside Zhengmen instead of renting a house, so he really has a lot of money.In the future, Murong Fu High School will be able to make decisions for the people with a breeze in his sleeves.

"Outside Zheng's gate, I'll write it down." Qiao Feng was still indifferent, and only bowed his hands to Murong Fu. "Now let's wish Mr. Murong the best of luck in the golden list! Farewell!" After finishing speaking, he and Murong Fu looked at each other with a smile, and led the two brothers of the Beggar Sect to beat their horses and whip them away.
