Royal Gold Magistrate

"When I went to Jianjiang for disaster relief, how did the prince know that I could find Liu Xun and transport the money away in advance? Could it be that the prince can predict the future?"

This question has been held in Fang Zheng's mind for a long time.

After hearing this, King Wu stared at Fang Zhengyi with a strange expression, but didn't speak.

As soon as Fangzheng was stared at by him, he asked again: "Why doesn't your lord speak?"

King Wu was silent for a while, and then he said, "It's really rare to see someone as self-aware as you."

"..."

"You offended all the officials like a lunatic for disaster relief in the capital. If you are a person like you who does not use any means to achieve your goals, what good results will Liu Xun have? Naturally, the king has to order people to evacuate early. Originally, I thought the disaster would expand. , this king will have a chance, who would have met you meddlesome person."

"..."

"Also in Haiyuan City, this king has actually been here a long time ago. In order to act cautiously, he sent someone to inquire about the situation in Haiyuan City in advance, and only then did he know that the Lu family was captured by you in less than a day. Hey, it's unimaginable, how did you do it?"

It was the first time someone said that he had no self-knowledge.

Fang Zhengyi had a black thread, did not answer his words, and continued to ask: "To be honest, I have found out about the relationship between the prince and the Lu family. Except for the letters of the Lu family, I have not found any other evidence for the time being. How does the prince act?" To such a hidden one? There is nothing wrong with even going to the household department to check the accounts."

"The Lu family's sale of private salt is so rampant, it's impossible for the books to reflect the problem?"

"This king already knew that the Lu family would leave some evidence for self-protection, Lu Renjie, that lawless bastard!" Wu Wang showed helplessness: "If you check the accounts, of course you can't find out the problem, because the fake accounts are from the account department of Qianguo. The accounting books started to be built, and most of the income of the private salt was in the old land of the country, and the root cause was wrong, how can you find the wrong place without checking the root cause?"

Fangzheng blurted out: "Zhang Shi?"

"That's right, he is the only one who can cooperate with the king to complete this matter. The king promised him 200 million taels of silver every year. But...Although Zhang Shi works for the king, he is not loyal to the king. He only loves money. But my heart is towards the emperor."

"Oh, but he's on my king's boat, so it's going to be hard to think about it."

Fangzheng rubbed the center of his brows, feeling a little headache: "Does the prince have any other internal support in the court?"

King Wu shook his head: "Brother Huang is very sensitive. He was busy with the war before, so this king had a chance. The more people he wins over, the greater the risk of exposure."

"Then how does the prince plan to establish himself?"

King Wu got up, walked to the window and looked at the coastline: "This king can earn nearly 700 million taels of silver a year from private salt and other channels. Do you know where the money is used?"

Fangzheng looked down at his feet.

King Wu made a lot of money indirectly through foreigners, and he obviously saw the benefits.

Now that he has nowhere to go and wants to set up his own business, I am afraid that he has already thought about getting outside.

It's really fucking No. 1 on the road!

"shipbuilding?"

"Smart!" King Wu turned his head and glanced at Fang Zhengyi appreciatively: "That's right, a lot of money was spent on shipbuilding and purchasing sea ships. In order to speed up the speed, this king put money into it regardless of cost."

"In the past few years, the king has sent five fleets overseas. Apart from building ships, they are exploring routes and buying land overseas. The risk of going to sea is extremely high. Only two of the five fleets successfully returned, and the king also suffered serious losses. , but fortunately it succeeded, everything was worth it!"

"My Dajing claims to be a country in the center, but my vision is short-sighted. The world is bigger than we imagined. The method of making salt, high-yield crops, and even the level of making utensils by foreigners are not weaker than Dajing. I am afraid there are even more overseas. What a valuable thing."

"Besides, the overseas countries are just a group of small countries with a short history. In my opinion, they are vulnerable! As long as you can successfully go overseas, you will have a bright future!"

King Wu became silent again after speaking, and continued after a while: "This king has had enough of the current life, hiding in hiding, letting mermaid flesh! I have long planned to go overseas, but I haven't made up my mind yet. You gave me a push."

"My lord really opened his eyes to see No.1 in the world! I admire you." Fang Zhengyi really admired it.

He is a person who can be recorded in the annals of history, but it is a pity that he chose the wrong path.

"How do you think this king compares with the emperor's brother?" King Wu looked at Fang Zhengyi with some expectation.

"There is no comparison. In my opinion, you are just a drowned man." Fang Zhengyi said flatly.

King Wu was stunned. He was very proud at first, but he never expected Fang Zheng to answer like this in a while!

What Fang Zhengyi said was from the heart. King Wu's performance so far exceeded ordinary people's vision. Although he was surprised, it was not enough to make a fuss.

There is no other reason, to a certain extent, he is the same kind of person as King Wu.

The person who fell into the water is desperate, and he will not let go if he can grasp a trace of life.

A fringe person like Wu Wang who is not welcomed in the royal family, he is a bit ambitious and unwilling to be manipulated by others, so when he sees a glimmer of hope, he will naturally hold on to it.

The so-called open eyes to see the world, just have to open!

Seeing that there is a way out, you can only go on desperately, and forcibly reverse your concepts. This is a last choice.

This is the so-called hero made by the times. Fang Zhengyi was originally an ordinary employee.

Let him rule the people of a county, what a fart, he didn't even know his own life.

But more than 2000 lives are in his hands, and those people are still supporting him, so he has to fight.

Go to beg for food, go to rob! In order to let people survive, tear off your own face.

It took pain and transformation again and again to make him what he is today!

He is so, so is Wu Wang.

It's just that Fangzheng can see clearly that as a time traveler, he can look at himself from the perspective of God.

With this sentence, King Wu was a little bit off guard.

He was slightly angry, but the next moment, like a deflated ball, he smiled miserably: "Yes, you are quite right."

"This king has not been welcomed by the late emperor since he was a child in the palace! This king has loved astronomy and tools since he was a child. Because of this, he was disliked by the courtiers and rejected by the late emperor! They destroyed the king's collection of books, creations, etc. .”

"I thought that the king would be able to have freedom after becoming a vassal, but what happened? The king only has the worst conditions! After working hard, he was forcibly taken away by the emperor's brother!"

"What choice do I have!" At this point, the resentment in King Wu's belly seemed to burst out suddenly, and he said angrily, "Man is a sword, I am a fish!"

"My king has been at the mercy of others all his life! If this is the arrangement of heaven for this king, this king will never accept it! Man can conquer nature, and my destiny can only be controlled by myself! The former emperor liked to eat elixir, so this king will give it to him." Let him eat his fill of elixir! Brother Huang wants to take my fief, and this king will take it back sooner or later!"

"It's God's will to meet those fan merchants! The fate of the king has changed since then, do you know? Those merchants who came from the ocean have always spread a curse on the ship, which is called sepsis. Whenever there is a ship Almost one out of ten people in the fleet survived the infection! But what about my king’s fleet? No one has ever had this disease, what is this! This is God’s will! Destiny’s destiny!”

Listening to Wu Wang's nagging complaints there.

Fangzheng was speechless.

Isn't this just sepsis?It may be because the people here in Dajing love to drink tea, and they have a rich diet that can supplement vitamin C to avoid it.

But if it is unfavorable to you, you will conquer nature, and if it is beneficial to you, you will be destined by heaven.

The idea is really her mother's tradition!
