Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 2732
Xiao Ju was very angry, but remembering that Fang Jun held the handle of the entire Lanling Xiao family in his hands, he dared not speak out, and turned his head away with a sullen face.

But this attitude is almost equivalent to the default...

As for Xiao Qi, he had nothing to say at all.

Li Tai looked at his face and saw that Xiao Ju was frightened by Fang Jun. He felt that this matter was basically safe. After all, he had suffered such a big loss. Then he laughed and said: "Brother understands the righteousness, the only concern is that all these goods and breeding industries will fall into the hands of the Xiao family, which will arouse resentment and hostility from other families. In fact, I don't need to care about it at all. After all, the development of Tang's cultural and educational undertakings is the It is a good thing that the trend of the times and the success will last forever. I heard that my brother is very talented, but he has been at home and has never been an official. I don’t know if I invite you to join the "Datang Culture Promotion Association" as my deputy and assist me in the development of the Tang Dynasty. What do you think about my brother's cultural and educational career?"

Of course, one of the sweet jujubes had to be given, but it would be a good thing if he could take advantage of the trend and take the Lanling Xiao family back for his own use.

After all, this is one of the top elites among the gentry in the south of the Yangtze River. He has a profound background in both Jiangnan and Shandong. In the future, he will develop county schools and rural schools in these two places. Wholehearted assistance will naturally get twice the result with half the effort.

Xiao Ju was greatly moved.

The Xiao family in Lanling had hairpin tassels for generations. During the Southern and Northern Dynasties, they climbed to the pinnacle of the aristocratic family in one fell swoop, established the country and proclaimed themselves emperors, and established half of the country. Unfortunately, they began to fail after entering the Sui Dynasty.Although Xiao Yu served as the prime minister in the Tang Dynasty and was deeply trusted and respected by His Majesty Li Er, due to well-known reasons, the Xiao family has always been suppressed by Guan Longhao, and it is difficult for his children to enter the center.

Xiao Ju was proud and arrogant, and felt that if he could not enter the center, but only served as an official in a corner of the south of the Yangtze River, how would he be able to display his ambitions?

Simply refusing to be an official, and entertaining friends at home all day long to study, is quite leisurely like a hermit in the Wei and Jin Dynasties.It's just that after a long time, this kind of leisure will inevitably turn into boring. A man can't carry a three-foot sword to make achievements, and he can't hold a wolf's brush to write about the spring and autumn. What's the benefit of living a hundred years in vain?

Inevitably restless.

Hearing Wei Wang's solicitation at this moment, it is inevitable that he will become an official. Although this so-called "Datang Culture Promotion Association" is not an authentic court office, but Wei Wang is in charge, and has lofty intentions and great influence. The king's deputy will immediately become famous all over the world.

Stay in this "Rejuvenation Association" for a few years, make some meritorious service, and then be recommended by the king of Wei to enter the court, the minimum must be a six ministers at the beginning!
It’s just that in this way, it is bound to completely stand on the side of King Wei, and it can be regarded as being inferior to Fang Jun. Even if it is equivalent to standing in the prince’s camp, it is even impossible not to accept these hot-handed goods...

This is a big matter, Xiao Ju has to be cautious, especially considering the attitudes of several elders in the family.

Li Tai glanced at Fang Jun, saw that the other party was secretly flirting with him, thought about it for a while, understood it, and said in a persuasive way: "At present, the sea is not calm, and many island bandits who have been dormant for a long time have resurfaced, threatening many air routes. The navy is quite a headache for this. After all, the force is limited. When escorting various fleets, it is inevitable to lose sight of the other. At that time, the Xiao family will need to come forward as the leader of Jiangnan to appease the family that has suffered losses. The Xiao family has always been the leader of Jiangnan, so they should assume the obligations corresponding to their status."

When Xiao Ju heard this, his eyes widened again.

Isn't this a blatant threat?
Pirate fart!

Now that the Royal Navy of the Tang Dynasty is strong and strong, it is no exaggeration to say that the boats are like clouds. The number of new warships equipped with artillery is more than that of all the warships of the Eastern and Southern Ocean countries combined. The invincible situation of rampaging across the seven seas.

The islands entrenched in the East China Sea have already been wiped out after several times of siege by the navy. Even if one or two fish slip through the net, it is too late to escape. How dare they appear on the waterway again to burn, kill and loot?

These words are clearly telling him that if the naval guards are unfavorable and the Xiao family’s fleet suffers losses, then they really have no choice but to spare their resources. Don’t worry about your Xiao family... But who is the soldier and who is the leader in the sea? Bandit, isn't Fang Jun the one who has the final say?
Threatening, wooing, promising Yili, and then continuing to threaten...

Xiao Ju was convinced.

He understood that if he didn't take over all those commodity breeding industries today, and would honestly stand on the side of Fang Jun and the prince from then on, there would be no good.

The situation is stronger than people, so what can he do?
Not only him, even Xiao Yu, Xiao Jing, and Xiao Xun's generation are here, facing Wei Wang and Fang Jun's coercion and temptation, what can they do except compromise?

Sighing in his heart, Xiao Ju had no choice but to say: "This is a big matter, I don't dare to make decisions, I have to go back and ask my father and uncle for instructions."

He wanted to procrastinate to see if things could turn around, but how could Fang Jun let him do what he wanted?

"When this brother came here two days ago, he said he wanted to go back to ask for instructions, and today you said to go back to ask for instructions... When will this person come and ask for instructions?"

"How serious the consequences of such things are, can't I see it? No matter how aggressive Duke Yue is, do you dare to make decisions on behalf of the Patriarch?"

Xiao Ju was furious.

Fang Jun didn't get angry, sneered, and said quietly: "The Xiao family is playing with someone, right? Yesterday he went back to ask for instructions, and today you have to go back to ask for instructions, I'm afraid you still need to ask for instructions tomorrow... I really thought that someone was Clay pottery sculptures, you don’t have any anger, right? Believe it or not, the Xiao family’s salt field will be closed tomorrow, and the Xiao family’s sea trade will be stopped. The good students inside and outside will check to see if your Xiao family has concealed taxes, Harboring bandits?"

Xiao Ju was so angry that his neck was thick with red eyes, his eyes were like those of a bullfighting bull, and his usual self-cultivation skills were completely gone. He wished he could pounce on Fang Jun and strangle Fang Jun to death.

motherfucker!

You kid has no other means other than threats and intimidation, right?

But he was extremely angry, but he had to admit that Fang Jun's threats and intimidation were really effective. This stick can do anything, and he doesn't consider the aftermath and impact at all. They were all stopped, and people were sent to check inside and out, how much loss would the Xiao family suffer?
In comparison, it seems that being hostile and targeted by other Jiangnan gentry for this reason is not so unbearable...

Li Tai's complexion changed, and he shouted: "Erlang, why have you become stubborn again, and you can't talk properly if you have something to say, let's sit down and discuss it? Brother Xiao, don't get angry, come, come, sit down and drink tea."

Xiao Ju was completely convinced.

These two people sang together, acted both hard and soft, pinched the Xiao family's weakness to death, besides submitting obediently, where is there room for resistance?

Sitting down again, he sighed and said, "Since His Royal Highness the King of Wei intends to do his best to prosper the cultural and educational cause of the Tang Dynasty, how can the Xiao family ignore it and stand by? Doing our best is a duty, and it is nothing more than offending your hometown and sacrificing your life for righteousness! "

Fang Jun curled his lips and smiled, thinking that this person is considered interesting, how can he talk about giving up his life for righteousness in such a field where there is no way to advance or retreat?

It's just to win over the Xiao family completely, no longer half-hearted as before, and stand in the camp of His Highness the Crown Prince single-mindedly.

In fact, as long as the Xiao family gave up their face, it was a real deal to take advantage of it.

All the people present here are well-known and respected people, and they only need to make decisions. As for the details of the acceptance of the cargo breeding industry, the people below will handle it. Major matters are agreed upon. Fang Jun and Du He went to the banquet.

During the banquet, Xiao Ju still felt resentful, so he pointed at Fang Jun and tried to persuade him to drink, trying to make up for all the anger he suffered just now at the wine table.

Li Tai and Du He couldn't bear to look directly at them.

The most famous thing about Fang Jun in Guanzhong is that it is not that Kong Wu used his strength to win the three armies, nor did he make a fortune with hundreds of millions of Taoists, but that he will not get drunk after a thousand glasses of wine!

Among the children of the Guanzhong aristocratic family, there were some who were dissatisfied with Fang Jun and wanted to fight with him, but absolutely none who dared to argue with him on the wine table.

Not surprisingly, after three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, King Wei was still at the banquet, Xiao Ju was already unconscious, and after vomiting twice, he was supported by Xiao Kai to go to the back hall to rest. Li Tai, Fang Jun and others Also took the opportunity to say goodbye.

Mu Yuanzuo, the governor of Suzhou, found a house for Li Tai in the city of Suzhou, and moved there with Du He. Fang Jun sent them to the door, declined Li Tai's invitation to enter, and at least rushed back to Huating Town.

When we arrived in Huating Town, the sky was already dark, and the light rain still lingered.

Just entered the hall and had a sip of hot tea, and wanted to take a bath, when the guards at the door said: "Princess Changle's personal maid, please see me..."
