Chapter 432
Fu Yanqing sold the land?
Ye Hua was very happy at first, and then confused again.
"Prince, the Yellow River is surrounded by good water and irrigated land, and the fat oil is so good. Why are you willing to sell it?"
When Fu Yanqing heard Ye Hua’s question, he didn’t even get angry!
"Do you think I am willing to sell it! Isn't it that I've been spreading a prodigal girl, turning her elbow out, and supporting the scene for a young beast with no conscience! In recent years, everyone has looked at how much our Fu family has made, but in fact, they have lost more! Not to mention the distance, all the real estate in the capital have been mortgaged out. In order to establish a workshop in Youzhou, prepare for farms, hire a fleet, and form a fleet, the money spent is like flowing water! What else can I do? I can only deal with all the property at hand, try to exchange it for gold, silver and copper coins to fill the bottomless pit!"
Fu Yanqing reached out and pointed at Ye Hua's forehead, and snorted angrily: "I really can't figure out how much ecstasy you gave that silly girl. Why is she so stupid that she can be manipulated and spend all her life in it! You, if you dare to treat her badly, I must fight you for the hard work!"
Fu Yanqing cursed and showed no mercy.
The old prince's words are also half true and half false.
When investing in a new business, the Fu family also makes a profit, and it is a big profit! It makes a lot of money!
In the entire Great Zhou Dynasty, even the Supreme Emperor Chai Shouli was not as fat as their Fu family, and the difference was completely geometric.
But there is a problem: any time the career territory expands too quickly, there will be a shortage of funds. There is no way, so you can only borrow money.
Although the Fu family has a great face and can borrow more money, the interest expenses are not small, especially now, the interest rate is even more terrible. A large amount of money is needed to repay the interest every month.
The whole family of Fu family was frightened, afraid that something would go wrong and someone would ask them to collect debts, and the Fu family would be in trouble!
Ye Hua suddenly took a breath!
This time he really understood!
Why did Fu Yanqing pretend to be timid and why didn’t he dare to stand up? Because the old prince had the handle to hold it in his hands!
He can kill people, but so what if he kills people?
Immediately someone will come to the door to force the debt and cannot pay back the money. So much investment will be wasted... Speaking of which, it will even threaten Ye Hua's entire layout.
Grandma, this is not easy to deal with!
Fu Yanqing was in the hand and just looked at it with a smile. The boy was able to calm down and know the priorities of it. He was still a good weapon, at least much better than his son.
He is old now, and I don’t know how long he can protect the Fu family. Perhaps once he dies, the Fu family will fall into decline. A thousand-year-old wealthy family like the five surnames and seven sects have emerged in many talents and are prosperous, which is really admirable.
No wonder they can look down on the imperial power and not take the Li Tang royal family seriously. When we were prime ministers and ruled the world, you were still savages, so why should you compare with us?
In fact, even the emperor of the Li family was very conflicted. On the one hand, he suppressed the gentry and the family, and on the other hand, he regarded himself as the Li family and took advantage of his family as his ancestors. The contradiction can be seen.
"Ye Hua, those people can certainly cause severe damage to me, but I may not be afraid of them if I really tear my face. It's just that literati can last for thousands of years. We martial artists are not as good as others. I dare not plant the root of disaster for my descendants!"
In my father-in-law's heart, I was afraid that he would still respect the five surnames and seven sects and fear the wealthy families of aristocratic families!
Ye Hua smiled slightly, "Why can we military men not beat civil servants? Have you ever thought about it?"
Fu Yanqing said disappointedly: "Being a general in the army, people will be cold when they leave. If their descendants are not successful, one or two generations will decline. But the civil servants are different. They farm and study and pass on their families, read poetry and books, follow the teachings of ancestors, and have many talents. They are also in harmony with each other, guarding and helping each other. They are the same clan, the same clan, the same hometown, and the same subject... They form a solid net, and they bear together when they encounter things, support each other's juniors, and cultivate talents... These are things that we martial artists cannot do. Since ancient times, military strategists can prosper for a while, but they cannot last long. War is a weapon! What the saint said is true." Fu Yanqing said, taking out a Tao Te Ching, which was already dark.
"Ye Hua, a few years ago, someone recommended me that I had to read more to keep the Fu family rich and prosperous. After listening to the suggestion, I have already learned about 5,000 words in my heart in the past few years. You can also take them to read more and you will have a different experience."
Ye Hua took the "Tao Te Ching", weighed it in his hand, and smiled and said, "The gift of the elder is more important than Mount Tai. Just Rong Wansheng said a few more words. The ability of literary officials will last for thousands of years, and it is not as high-end as they said... In fact, there are only two words of dirty things in it!"
"What two words?" Fu Yanqing said curiously.
"land!"
Ye Hua smiled and said, "The gentry group is just a landlord! If they have land, they can collect generous land rent, rely on land rent to support their children to study, and then become officials and take power. They gradually control public opinion in the world, constantly sticking gold to their faces and grabbing meat... Whoever believes in their tricks will be really stupid!"
"How can I tell?" Fu Yanqing's tone was excited. He seemed to hear something unusual from Ye Hua's words.
"It is said that farming and reading will last for a long time, but in fact, what is really long is the inheritance of military merits! It can be more famous than a literati for hundreds of years."
Fu Yanqing frowned and said angrily: "Don't play puzzles with me. Tell me directly which dynasty and which generation are passed down through military merits!"
"Xia, Shang and Zhou!" Ye Hua smiled and said, "It is the rule of the three generations that literati most admired. At that time, all the land belonged to the emperor. The law of well fields was adopted. The emperor divided the land to the ministers who had made meritorious... By the way, wasn't this how Jiang Ziya's Qi State came from? He relied on assisting the emperor of Zhou and made military achievements, and then was enfeoffed a country, and his descendants were passed down for hundreds of years. Where did those literati get the face? How dare they say that farming and reading were passed down for the longest time?"
"This..." Fu Yanqing's eyebrows were twisted into a lump, and he said for a while: "Ye Hua, what you said seems to be reasonable, ye Hua, but no one has ever told me this. You, your statement is too, too rebellious!"
Ye Hua chuckled and said, "This is the power of literati. They wrote books and interpreted classics, so that people in the world unknowingly fell into their trap! These people must be called the rule of the Three Generations, and talked about the wise ruler and the wise ministers. Why don't they say that the fundamental reason for the rule of the Three Generations is the Well Field? To achieve the rule of the Three Generations, we must restore the Well Field. What's ridiculous is that some people restored the Well Field system, but were collectively opposed by the scholar group. They overthrew that person. Prince Wei, think about it, is this absurd?"
Fu Yanqing suddenly shut up and his old face turned red.
His fists were clenched tightly.
The person who restored the well field, as Ye Hua said, was Wang Mang. Fu Yanqing knew, but all the literati have said that Wang Mang was in chaos, despicable and shameless, usurped the throne, and was angry and resentful... But few people said that Wang Mang wanted to restore the rule of the three generations. Indeed, literati praised the three generations, but they were the main force to overthrow Wang Mang. What was going on?
For the first time Fu Yanqing felt that he had not had enough brains.
It is said that he knows destiny at fifty, but he has passed sixty, so why can’t he figure out the matter?
After being silent for a long time, Fu Yanqing suddenly jumped up in fear.
"Ye Hua, do you think Wang Mang is right? You, you don't want to learn..."
Ye Hua hummed and pushed Fu Yanqing's hand away. As a father-in-law, you can't frame your son-in-law! If this is said, the emperor killed me, and your daughter will be in a vain!
"Wang Mang wants to restore the well field, but unfortunately, he has not found the right method and does not have enough support. He is destined to be a mirror. But the situation is completely different now. Military people enter the official position with their military merits and establish the rules of teaching the fields... With these two, military people have an economic foundation, that is, they have money. The next generation of military people can study and become officials, make contributions on the battlefield, and continue the glory of the family... Only in this way can the military people pass on their long-term inheritance and compete with the literati. Instead of envying the glory of others, it is better to calm down and find out their trump card. This is what is the real knowledge of oneself and one's enemy. Does the King of Wei agree?"
After Ye Hua finished speaking, he intervened and sat down. He silently admired his father-in-law's face-changing skills, sometimes green, sometimes white, sometimes red, sometimes black... Fu Yanqing was so old that he was actually baptized by Ye Hua!
He suddenly felt that the book had been read in vain and was completely deceived.
So many gorgeous words can't stand the word "land". This is the foundation for the prosperity of the literati of aristocratic families. As long as you master the land, you will naturally have money, be able to hire famous teachers and train good disciples... How come you never thought of such a simple thing!
It's really confused!
Too confused!
Ye Hua was not surprised at all. Even the simple truth known to everyone in the future was summarized after countless people's efforts.
Even if Fu Yanqing can accept it, he is not stupid, how many people are still unwilling to change!
"Ye Hua, I finally figured it out." Fu Yanqing wiped the sweat from his forehead, "You asked the martial artist to be a minor official. You dug up someone's ancestral grave! No wonder they did not hesitate to plot against me and offend the saints! I just thought they were confused. Now I realized that I was a frog in the well! I didn't see the interests clearly!"
Ye Hua smiled and said, "It's not too late to see clearly now, not to mention that the King of Wei has dug a hole and is just waiting for them to jump in."
Fu Yanqing suddenly smiled faintly, "I originally wanted to make a way to escape, but I didn't expect there was such a big relationship... Ye Hua, what should you say you would wipe out all the five surnames and seven sects in one fell swoop?"
It is naturally good to be able to do it. It is the only way to cut it off as soon as possible while their strength is not strong and their foundation is not deep!
But Ye Hua was quite surprised, "King of Wei, do you really have a way?"
Fu Yanqing narrowed his old eyes and returned to the old fox's appearance. He said lightly: "This time, there are more than me and my family around the Fu family. I originally thought that if the Fu family took it, there will naturally be someone to resolve it. Now it seems that not only can't bear it, but also to make things bigger and involve more talents!"
Ye Hua laughed and gave two thumbs up!
Chapter completed!
