[Comprehensive] Feasibility report on the restoration of the country

Chapter 8 Restoring the country is a matter of burning money

The dead are dead, but the living still have to continue their own lives.Only on the second day after Mrs. Murong's funeral, the four great officials came to see Murong Fu with their accounts.Mrs. Murong passed away, and Murong Fu is the master of the Murong family in Gusu, and he should be in charge of all the family business.

After receiving the account book handed over by Deng Baichuan, Murong Fu couldn't help being surprised.Given his current age, it is obviously too early to be in charge of the family business. Unexpectedly, Deng Baichuan and others have truly treated him as the master. This kind of loyalty has obviously disappeared in modern society.He lowered his head and flipped through the ledger while listening to Deng Baichuan's introduction: "My lord, in front of me, collected 48 peaks on the 72 islands of Taihu Lake with the unique skill of 'Dou Zhuan Xing Yi', and set up Qingyun, Chixia, Jinfeng, and Xuanshuang. Make a hero, Xu Tu Huainan Road, I don’t want the middle road to collapse. Now with the abilities of my four brothers, only the Taihu Lake area is still under control.”

Murong Fu knew early on that the Murong family's money might not come from an innocent place, but now he is not very surprised to hear that he was originally the head of the underworld organization in Taihu Lake.He didn't understand whether Deng Baichuan's so-called control meant being able to influence local officials to govern, or just being able to lead an anti-government armed force. What do you do for a living while commanding the heroes of Taihu Lake?"

Murong Fu asked this question but the four big officials looked at each other, and after a while, Deng Baichuan replied with a little embarrassment: "There are many forces on Taihu Lake, and it is not at peace. Therefore, if there is any dispute, it will always be up to me." When you come forward to mediate, all the heroes are grateful for the benevolence and righteousness of the Murong family, and during the holidays...cough cough..."

It turned out that he was just a little guy who collected protection fees from Qiufeng, and he didn't even have his own property.Murong Fu couldn't help but heaved a long sigh, and frowned worriedly.

Seeing Murong Fu's silence, the four great ministers have other hidden worries. They have lived with Murong Fu for fourteen years, and they know that he values ​​literature and governance more than martial arts. If he reads moral articles too well, he will inevitably behave in a high-minded way. Some don't know the world.To put it simply, it is difficult to accept the Murong family's underworld status.

Everyone looked at each other, Bao BuTong said haha, and was about to step forward to give some advice, but saw Murong Fu casually put together the ledger that recorded the evidence of Murong's family receiving protection fees, and said in a deep voice, "Let's find a way to make money first." Bar!"

Bao BuTong was startled, and then turned the persuasive words he had prepared into questions. "My lord, what is the meaning of this? Is it these Adu things that my Gusu Murong family lacks?"

"In my opinion, what is most lacking now are these ah-duhs!" Murong Fu said decisively, seeing that Bao BuTong wanted to refute, he raised his hand to stop him. "Let me ask you, what is the basis for restoring the country?"

Feng Bo replied without even thinking about it: "Naturally, he is a peerless martial artist. As long as the young master learns 'Dou Zhuan Xing Yi' and becomes famous all over the world, he can recruit heroes from all over the world..."

Before he could finish his sentence, Murong Fu asked in a cold voice: "As far as I know, Abbot Shaolin Xuanci is the one with the highest martial arts in Jianghu, but why is it a powerless Zhao surname who occupies this world?" kid?"

Feng Bo'e was taken aback by the question, and it took him a long time to reply: "This Xuan Ci is someone from outside..."

"Xuanci is an outsider, his six senses are clean and not stained with dust, could it be that all warriors in this world are outsiders?" Murong Fu asked again.

"This..." Feng Bo E had been obsessed with martial arts all his life, so he couldn't understand the reason behind it.Murong Fu's few words shattered what he believed in for more than ten years, and he was powerless to refute it, he was at a loss when the situation was so bad, he just stood there in a daze, without saying a word.

When Deng Baichuan and the other four got married with Murong Bo, they admired and admired Murong Bo's martial arts ability, and then they joined the Murong family and worked hard to restore Dayan, but if they were asked how to revive Dayan, But they are in a mess and have no clue. One moment they feel that they want to win people's hearts, and the other moment they want to create heroes in troubled times.In the final analysis, these four people are all executive talents, but they don't have the slightest ability to coordinate and control.Deng Baichuan looked around and saw that everyone was at a loss, so he took a step forward, and was about to plead guilty to Murong Fu, when Gongyegan who was standing beside him suddenly said quietly: "If you want to raise the flag of righteousness to revive the Great Yan, you must win it." There are soldiers and generals, and we alone are definitely not enough."

Feng Bo'e slapped his thigh, and said loudly: "Ah! That's why the lord is wholeheartedly recruiting the heroes of the Jianghu for his own use. These heroes of the Jianghu are all self-confident in their abilities. To convince them, they must be highly skilled in martial arts!"

Murong Fu was hardly caught by the turmoil and laughed viciously, he swallowed back the swearing after he endured it again and again. "On the battlefield, is it useful for a group of ragtags with empty martial arts or an army that prohibits orders?"

This time, Gong Yegan didn't give Feng Bo E another chance to continue to anger Murong Fu, and replied first: "Of course the army is useful. As long as the poor people have a meal, they can follow us with peace of mind, and join us as an army to fight. The common people Stupidity is easy to take advantage of, but it is extremely difficult to subdue those heroes who have their own ideas." Speaking of this, Gong Yegan felt enlightened, bowed and said, "My lord is a great talent!"

Deng Baichuan had other worries. "Nowadays, the world is at peace, and there are occasional natural and man-made disasters, and the imperial court will organize the refugees into the Xiang army. How can we have the opportunity to recruit the people?"

Not only is there no chance, but even the slightest movement will be regarded as an attempt to commit crimes and be punished!Of course, Murong Fu would not say such a thing, he just said: "The Murong family has no money now, it is too early to talk about recruiting people, it is serious to find ways to make money first." After everyone became the richest man in the Song Dynasty , every day rich clothes and fine food call for slaves and maidservants, and even thinking about conspiring against him with a narrow escape?

Bao BuTong closed the folding fan in his hand and tapped his palm, opening his mouth to agree with others very rarely. "In this way, the money in our hands is really not enough. Not to mention recruiting people, even making friends with heroes requires money! However, farming and working do not have huge profits, but doing business is a hundred times more profitable. It's just that this kind of goods technique..."

Before he finished speaking, everyone frowned immediately.The four great ministers, together with Mrs. Deng, are all warriors in the Jianghu. They live by "upholding justice" on weekdays. How can they have the ability to make money?

Murong Fu smiled secretly, and thought: I knew you wouldn't! "Ms. Deng, have you ever eaten the pine nut candy I made?"

As a woman, Mrs. Deng naturally cannot avoid the small habits of women, and she loves sweets and snacks.The pine nut candy that Murong Fu made for Wang Yuyan was crunchy and sweet, not only she liked it, but all the women in Yanziwu didn't like it.Even Li Qingluo, whoever heard that Wang Yuyan came to Murong Fu to ask for sweets, did not stop her very much.Mrs. Deng is a smart person, after thinking for a while, she understood the meaning behind Murong Fu's words, and immediately asked: "Master, do you want to sell this pine nut candy?"

Murong Fu nodded, and said softly: "Not only this pine nut candy, but also other sweets and snacks can be slowly developed. Huainan Road has always been prosperous, this business seems small but has great potential. It is also feasible to sell it overseas if it grows bigger in the future .”

Everyone gasped when they heard Murong Fu mention the words "sold overseas".You must know that shipping is a hundred times more profitable, which is a big truth in this era.Thinking of the grand occasion when the money rolled in today, everyone scratched their heads and scratched their heads, only Gongyegan was silent for a while, and suddenly said: "Why don't you raise silkworms to get silk? The profit of silk is better than a small piece of sugar, not to mention , People can live without sugar, but they cannot live without clothes.”

As soon as Gongye Gan said this, Murong Fu gave him a meaningful look, and said patiently: "How many ordinary people can wear silk? If it was the family of the rich and powerful Jia, someone would have done this business a long time ago. I, Murong There is no root and no bottom, and it is not easy to intervene horizontally."

Gongye Gan smiled when he heard the words, and said relaxedly: "If you want to do it, Gongye Qian can guarantee that you can do it!"

Murong Fu noticed the cruel look between his brows and his heart skipped a beat.Among the four great ministers, if it is the most annoying, it must be Bao Budong; if it is the most irritating, it is naturally the top of the list.However, among the four people, Murong Fu is the most alienated from the bottom of his heart. It is Gongyeqian, the reason is that he is now showing quick success, eagerness, and random killing, which makes Murong Fu unable to believe that he will be a benevolent chivalrous man. . "If you set fire to Yanziwu, wouldn't it be even more worthless for me to wait for my master and servant to go up the mountain to be a thieves?"

Murong Fu's sarcasm was extremely serious, Gong Yeqian hastily bowed his head.

But as soon as the words came out, Murong Fu himself regretted it.Even if you don't like your subordinates, how can you, as a boss, vent your anger and ridicule for no reason because of your likes and dislikes?He hurriedly made amends, trying to appease Gongye and said: "I know the second brother Gongye's intentions, but if we want to restore the country, we must not let go of the word 'benevolence and righteousness', otherwise we will be a traitor! Besides, raising silkworms for silk It’s not easy, I’ve heard that it’s not easy to raise spring silkworms, so I have to think about how to do this business.” Murong Fuxing opened his mouth again, although he doesn’t know how to improve the survival rate of spring silkworms, but he has modern knowledge Relying on, how to strengthen management is well known.As long as the management is improved, even if the technology is difficult to break through for a while, this efficiency is beyond the reach of the contemporary large silkworm farmers.However, as Gong Yeqian said, selling silk is a huge profit industry. He is afraid that the money will be made too quickly, and the four big ministers will ask him to follow the script to win people's hearts and raise flags to rebel.

Seeing his good intentions, Gong Yeqian didn't appreciate Murong Fu and just clinging to "benevolence and righteousness", like a pedantic scholar who is stupid in reading, he is also full of grievances.However, there is a difference between superiority and inferiority, since Murong Fu had spoken to comfort him, he could only say in a low voice, "It's my subordinate Meng Lang."

Now that Murong Fu has made a plan to make money, the rest will be handed over to the four ministers to operate and execute.If Murong Fu had to do everything personally, then the so-called four great ministers would be useless.Therefore, he mentioned Deng Baichuan and others a few words about sugar making skills and the way to choose a shop, and then put this topic aside.Seeing that the four great ministers were a hundred times easier to fool Mrs. Murong, he was secretly relieved, but he didn't know that he hadn't let go yet. Mrs. Deng suddenly said: "I want to teach you to know that Madam Gui has been silenced, and Yanziwu has been cleaned up, my lord." Don't worry!"

As soon as Mrs. Deng's words came out, Murong Fu's hair was about to explode, and she immediately jumped up and asked sharply, "What's going on?"

Seeing that Murong Fu was furious, everyone looked at Gongye suspiciously.

Gongye, who "falsely preached the imperial decree", said "Oops" in secret, and hurriedly bowed to Murong Fu, and said honestly: "My lord, it is the intention of my subordinates to kill Mother Gui. The mistress is in a new funeral, and she is in a hurry." If you want to leave, you will ignore the friendship between master and servant over the years, and you must have something wrong in your heart, so you can't stay!"

Murong Fu took a deep breath, clenched his left fist hard, endured and endured before slowly saying: "Mother Gui, if you killed her, mother Gui's family members will not be spared?"

Gongye Gan bowed his head obediently, not daring to answer.

"Why do you ask Mother Gui to leave in such a hurry? My mother blamed me. It was her slander. She was afraid that I would find her bad luck. You are better. I am afraid that others will not know that Murong Fu is narrow-minded and cannot tolerate others. The old man who has served by his side for many years will also take his life! Second brother Gongye, you are so self-assertive and you can see thousands of miles away, how can I, Murong Fu, dare to order you around?" Knowing that nearly ten lives of Gui's mother's family disappeared in the blink of an eye, Murong Fu was furious. , almost wanting to kill the murderous monster in front of him immediately for Mama Gui's life.

What Murong Fu said was equally unacceptable to Gong Yeqian. He originally regarded Murong Fu as the master of Zhongxing, so he thoughtfully helped him solve future troubles.Unexpectedly, Murong Fu not only did not appreciate it, but doubted his intentions.Gongye Gan immediately raised his head and blushed and said loudly: "Young Master doubts my loyalty, Gongye Gan must die!" After finishing speaking, he suddenly lifted his right palm and shot it down on the top of his head.

The four great ministers are like brothers, how can Deng Baichuan and others watch him commit suicide?The three of them hurried forward and held him down hurriedly.Deng Baichuan watched Murong Fu grow up, and always thought that he had a gentle personality. He didn't want to be so angry when he got really angry today, and he didn't dare to ask him to kneel down on the ground to intercede for Gongye: "Please forgive me, my lord!"

Deng Baichuan took the lead in kneeling, and the other two, together with Mrs. Deng, also knelt down to beg for mercy.Among the four people, only Bao BuTong was the most evasive, and he pretended to be clever and added: "Second brother Gongye did this out of loyalty, please learn from me!"

Murong Fu didn't make a sound, just looked at them coldly.In Murong Fu's mind, these four great ministers are really nothing. They not only brainwashed him for many years and tried to manipulate him into a dead end plot to rebel against the country, but as subordinates, they lacked respect for their superiors.However, Murong Fu can bear all these things, but Gong Yeqian, who regards human life as nothing, really can't bear it!Don't say that he has no intention of rebellion at all, even if he intends to fight for the world, it will never be a big deal if he uses Gongye to do this kind of subordinate.Just because he killed Gui's mother, it can be seen that he is not even a hero, at best he is a ruthless desperado.After a while, he said slowly: "You think I'm making a fuss out of a molehill?"

Murong Fu was filled with anger, but Gong Yegan actually said plausibly: "Master, such a villain should be killed! Those who make big things don't care about small things, how can there be a woman's kindness?"

Murong Fu was blinded by Gongye's nonsense, and he asked the other four people after a long time, "You think so too?"

Those four people didn't dare to answer, but they obviously didn't disagree with Gongye's words.

Murong Fu suddenly felt a burst of exhaustion, he always knew that they were crazy, but he didn't know that they were so crazy.He knew that if he wanted to kill them, they might not be willing to kill them; but if he wanted to drive them away, it would only take a few words.Just after that?After all, Murong Bo is still alive, so the death of a wife who has no effect on the great cause of restoring the country is nothing, but if his son drives away the "respectful officials" he left behind, I'm afraid he will have to come forward to set things right.

Thinking of this, Murong Fu tightened his left fist again, trying his best to calm down. "Have you ever thought that I am the only descendant of the Murong family, and I will be the master of the Murong family sooner or later, why would Mama Gui offend me?" Before the four great ministers had another chance to get angry with him, he said to himself Go on, "Because she is stupid! However, even if a stupid person is wrong in every way, there is one advantage, that is, he knows fear! I want Mrs. Deng to give Zuyin two clear words, precisely because I want to use her greed and fear, so that she will never lose her heart." I keep my mouth shut about what I saw and heard in Yanziwu. Mother Gui is too late to do anything, and Second Brother Gongye is already worried that she will speak nonsense and kill people. In the future, I, the Murong family, will recruit soldiers and buy horses to restore the country. People who know this secret More and more, how much can the second brother Gongye kill? Daddy treated you like a national scholar before he was alive. Could it be that you, a national scholar, only have one ability to kill? You are so incompetent, when will my Murong family's great cause of restoring the country be accomplished? "

Murong Fu's high-sounding words finally convinced the four great ministers, and once again pleaded guilty in unison.This time, he was much more sincere than before.But Murong Fu didn't let them get up, and continued: "Among the four older brothers, the second brother Gongye was the most knowledgeable. Today, when he returns to office, he wants to ask for advice, 'There is no way in the world, and the ritual and music conquests come from the princes.' What's the meaning?" ?”

As soon as Murong Fu said this, Gongye Gan trembled all over, knocked his forehead heavily on the ground, and said loudly: "Gongye Gan is guilty!"This sentence originally came from "The Analects". The emperor of Zhou was unable to control the princes, which led to "the conquest of ritual and music came from the princes."

"Since he is convicted, he must be punished!" Murong Fu said coldly.Speaking of this, he suddenly laughed at himself, Mother Gui's family had died innocently, the best punishment would be to kill someone, but he just couldn't do it.That being the case, other punishments are also very hypocritical. "If you are fined to copy the "Ksitigarbha Sutra" a hundred times to save Mother Gui's family, are you convinced?"

Gongyegan immediately kowtowed again, and said loudly: "Gongyegan is convinced, thank you, son!"

After the matter ended like this, Murong Fu was exhausted, he turned his back and waved his hands weakly: "Everyone go out! Think twice before doing things in the future!"

"Yes!" The four ministers and Mrs. Deng responded at the same time, and left the hut dejectedly.It was almost evening at this time, and there was a cool breeze outside the house.As everyone was blown by the cold wind, Fang suddenly realized that his back was drenched with sweat, and he shivered involuntarily.
