Wa County, General Fan City.
With a burst of hearty laughter, a tall young man walked into the general's mansion.
"Your Majesty! Long time no see, you are getting tougher and tougher, you are really like a father! You are also a hero!"
The visitor saluted Mrs. Fan, but did not let go of his compliments.
However, Fan's face was stern, sitting on the top seat, and his eyes were not very gentle when looking at this person. Fan's face was very fierce, and he stared at this person, "You dare to come back to see me?!"
The visitor is called Ding Ancheng, and he is the grandson of Jinghou Dingfu in Yangdu. His eldest father is ranked No.17 among the founding princes, and he is also a very remarkable figure.
But Mrs. Fan's attitude towards him was very bad, and they didn't like him very much.
Not only Fan Kang, but several lieutenants under Fan Kang's command were also glaring at this person angrily at this moment.
"General, this person is cunning, what happened last time must not be forgotten, you can beat him out! Don't fall into his schemes again!"
A lieutenant said angrily.
Mrs. Fan was about to speak, but the magistrate stopped Mrs. Fan and said in a low voice: "General, this person was sent by the King of Yan. If he is driven out like this, the general will certainly relieve his hatred, but he just means disrespecting the King of Yan. We are here this time, so you don’t have to worry, just ask him why he’s here.”
Juncheng called Zhibuyi, but he was one of the prince's confidantes.
After Mrs. Fan wrote to the temple and asked the temple to send him a group of ministers, Liu An sent some of his disciples here. Among them, Zhibuyi became the local magistrate to assist Mrs. Fan in governing the area.
It can be said that in all remote areas, the prince's disciples can be found, and the official system in many frontier areas is composed of the prince's family.
Mrs. Fan looked at Ding Ancheng angrily, and said loudly: "The last time you came to my place, I discussed with you the matter of relocating the Hu people to each other. You asked about our thoughts in detail and recorded them down. But after you go back, you will Advise the king of Yan, let him migrate internally, not cooperate with us, steal our ideas, and use them to govern your own territory. Your country of Yan is very comfortable, and the Hu people in the country are moving around, causing a large number of people I fled to Zhao country?! If you come again today, you must give me an explanation! Otherwise, even if you are sent by the King of Yan, I will throw you into the sea to feed the fish! Others are afraid of the King of Yan , Nai Gong is not afraid!!"
"The king of Yan is here today, and he has to give me an explanation, otherwise he will still be thrown into the sea to feed the fish!!"
Fan Kang's voice was very loud, and his eyes were wide open.
Ding Ancheng frowned, Mrs. Fan is of course qualified to say this, he is not an ordinary sheriff or general, his father is Marquis Wuyang, his mother is the queen mother's younger sister, and the younger sister is the emperor's Concubine, she has played with the emperor since she was a child, and she is also the person who should not be provoked among the virtuous.
He hurriedly knelt down in front of Mrs. Fan, and said bitterly: "General, I can't blame me for this incident. I told the king about these things truthfully, but I am not the only one who is with the king. Contacting the county is really troublesome. It would be better to move around the country, so I didn't adopt my suggestion. Junhou, I have always respected you very much, and I have never dared to despise you. Otherwise, why would I travel back and forth in the first place? ?”
"If I really feel sorry for you, how dare I come to you?"
"What happened last time was indeed that Yan Guo was sorry for you. I am willing to plead guilty to you on behalf of my king."
As Ding Ancheng spoke, he bowed three more times.
The anger on Mrs. Fan's face finally subsided a lot, and then she asked with a sneer, "You came to my place again this time, what kind of bad idea did you come up with?"
Ding Ancheng hurriedly said: "How dare you show disrespect to the prince? This time, I came here to make up for my previous mistakes."
"Oh? Yan Guo still has such thoughts?"
"Junhou's misunderstanding of my country of Yan is too deep. Everyone in the country of Yan respects and loves my king very much."
"Okay, let's talk, how do you plan to make up for it?"
Ding Ancheng said with a smile: "I didn't come alone this time, I also brought back [-] barbarian people from the peninsula and Buyeo, because we didn't have enough ships, they had to be sent in batches, the king decided to go with the prince Exchange domestic barbarians. In addition, the king specially sent a large amount of money and food to help you manage Wojun. The king knows the inconvenience of your building the city, so he specially appointed many craftsmen to help you build a few cities. , to strengthen trade with you"
"For the convenience of trade, my king is also planning to exempt Japanese ships from berthing and business taxes, etc., and is willing to exempt each other with you. I only hope that you can give us a few places so that we can build a port to facilitate our cooperation with you."
Fan's eyes widened, but because of the precedent of being deceived last time, he couldn't believe the guy in front of him too much.
"How can you be so kind? Help so much? What is your plan?!"
Ding Ancheng pursed his lips, "Don't dare to deceive Junhou, I have no intention, but I am willing to cooperate with you with all my strength, I have no other ideas, Junhou has no idea, since the last incident, His Majesty has written a letter, will My king reprimanded him and asked him to cooperate with you with all his strength. Therefore, please understand that we are just trying to make up for the original mistakes this time, and we have absolutely no intentions of wrongdoing. If you think it is okay, we can sign a joint letter now .”
Zhi Buyi laughed lightly, "I'm afraid you're a little tired after coming from a long distance, you can go to rest first, we'll talk about it later."
Ding Ancheng was a little reconciled and wanted to say something, but when he saw Mrs. Fan frowning, he was afraid of offending him, so he saluted and left.
When he left, Mrs. Fan looked at Zhibu suspiciously, "What do they mean?"
"It turned out that they didn't look down on us at all. It's either that Qing became the queen, or he became the king in place of the king, otherwise there is no reason!"
"General, be careful!!"
Zhi Bu doubt almost covered Mrs. Fan's mouth, looked around, and then said helplessly: "I can't see what they think at the moment, but they are suddenly so polite to us and have to give us so much love." Aid, this must be a conspiracy, general, I think we cannot accept such sudden benefits. I have heard that sudden blessings are accompanied by great disasters, and we are now working together to manage this To educate the local people and open several cities, as long as you do things with peace of mind, relying on the advantages here, you will be able to develop sooner or later, why ask for the benefits of the Yan Kingdom?"
"Yan Kingdom is a big country, its national power is dozens of times stronger than ours, and it will not show favor to us for no reason. It is best to refuse."
The rest of the generals and clerks were stunned at this moment. They all lowered their heads, reminiscing about the benefits that Ding Ancheng said just now. After all, they were also very excited. Wa County has its own advantages, but its shortcomings are also obvious. Well, what Ning'an City said just now can solve many of their current troubles very well, and can save them ten years of struggle. How could they just give up willingly?And Mrs. Fan also seemed a little tangled and hesitant.
They were still hesitating, but here in Ning'an City, they were very eager. They asked to see Mrs. Fan several times, and they looked restless all day long.
In order to meet Mrs. Fan, he even added a lot of benefits.
More sponsorship, more population, even willing to provide enlightenment talents for Wa County for free
Mrs. Fan couldn't sit still anymore. He had been on Wa Island for so long, and he had never seen such a huge aid. The deputy generals and civil officials also wrote to ask Mrs. Fan to agree. My opinion is unacceptable.
In desperation, Mrs. Fan met with Ding Ancheng again. This time, Mrs. Fan asked the reason straight to the point.
"If you don't tell the truth, I dare not accept it, you have to tell me the truth!!"
"If you dare to fool me with nonsense again, I will drive you out now!"
Ding Ancheng smiled wryly, "Your Majesty, I dare not hide it from you anymore. It's like this. Dai Wang is a country. Dai Guo and Yan Guo are close neighbors and have always helped each other, but Dai Wang I felt that Yan Guo’s previous behavior did not respect you enough, so he was unwilling to continue to cooperate with us, so we came to make up for it, and I only hope that you can forgive our past crimes and write a joint letter with us.”
Fan Zhen suddenly realized, and immediately raised his head and laughed.
"I see!"
"My son, you know how to vent your anger for his uncle! You said this earlier, why should I hesitate?"
"Our Three Kingdoms are close to each other, and we should help each other. What you Yan Kingdom did before is not very authentic!"
Ding Ancheng smiled and nodded, "It will definitely not be like this in the future."
Fan Zhen also felt relieved, "Is it a joint letter? Yes, I will write with you now!"
Today's joint letter is actually equivalent to the oath of the princes in the past. The two parties reached an agreement on one issue, and then submitted the cooperation content to the temple. The difference from the oath of the princes in the past is that no one cares about you if you violated the oath in the past, but now If you violate the content, the temple will not be pampered by you. Mrs. Fan was about to fetch the pen and ink, but Zhibuyi stood in front of Mrs. Fan again.
There is no doubt that this person, even under the prince's sect, is very popular with everyone.
This person is usually taciturn, treats everyone with humility and courtesy, never gets angry with others, and is tolerant and generous. He is called an elder under the prince's family. Not because he is old, but because he has the style of an elder.
Since he came to Wa Island, he has also tried his best to assist Mrs. Fan, contact the local officials, and won the love of everyone with his generous style. Even Mrs. Fan also attaches great importance to his opinions, otherwise he would not ask Ning'an City again and again.
But at the moment when he resisted again, Mrs. Fan couldn't understand.
"Mr. Zhi, he also said his reasons. This is not a bad thing. It is a good thing for the three companies to cooperate. Why do you want to do this?"
There is no doubt that he still looked honest and honest. He first asked Mrs. Fan to forgive his rudeness, and then looked at Ning'an City, "Sir, I know you, you are the grandson of Duyang Jinghou, the founding father of the country. One of the Eighteen Marquises made some mistakes in Chang'an, but now you are working in Yan State, you have such a noble status, but every time you are eager to make meritorious service, you can't treat others with sincerity, this is really not the descendant of the founding meritorious prince What should be done, the feats made by your elder father can give you the opportunity to display your talents, but reckless seeking credit will ruin your family's wealth and reputation .”
"I ask you to think deeply, don't do things that are not good for you, a man should make contributions, rely on his true talents, and not use some cunning means."
It was very sincere without a doubt.
Ding Ancheng seemed to be stabbed at the pain point, and jumped up immediately, "What do you mean? I'm discussing with the prince, you little official, how dare you talk nonsense here? What kind of title are you? You are also worthy to come with me Preaching?!"
Mrs. Fan was immediately displeased, "Although Mr. Zhi doesn't have a title, he is a real gentleman. How can you humiliate him?"
Ding Ancheng suppressed the anger in his heart, and said very displeasedly: "I tried my best to convince King Yan this time, and I came here originally to make up the relationship between the two parties, and to strengthen the exchanges between the three countries according to His Majesty's instructions. , Governing the place for His Majesty, I never thought that I would suffer such rude treatment. Since this is the case, then we don’t need to talk anymore. Whether it’s Daiguo or Wojun, don’t think about cooperating with us anymore !!"
As he said that, he was about to turn around and leave, but a lieutenant hurriedly stopped him.
"Don't be angry, Mr. Zhi is not insulting you, but just trying to persuade you."
Mrs. Fan sat in the upper position, and hurriedly smoothed things over for the two of them.
When Ding Ancheng reluctantly sat down again, Zhi Buji just looked straight into his eyes, there was no malice in his eyes, not even a little bit of displeasure , he sincerely admitted his mistake to Ding Ancheng, "If you mistake me for being disrespectful to you, please forgive me."
"It's just. Ding Jun, you can do one thing and two can't be three. You made a mistake in Chang'an, and then you bewitched King Yan, and you made a bad relationship with General Fan. This is the second time. I really hope you can know What kind of harm will your actions bring?"
"Your eldest father, once followed Emperor Gao, made countless meritorious deeds, and his ability to ride and shoot with one hand is unrivaled, and he is unparalleled in bravery. He served as the vanguard of Zhou Lvwuhou, forced King Zhai and Guannei, attacked Longqie and Pengcheng, and defeated Xiang Yu. And Ye County, who suffered dozens of wounds in Ye County, but fought fiercely without retreating, causing Xiang Yu to flee, Emperor Gao held his hand and called him a brave general. Ding Jun, you can't insult the family tradition."
Ding Ancheng's face was red, and he was very disturbed by his eyes.
Everyone here can't stand it anymore, they have already made peace for you, so why come out to talk about others?
Ding Ancheng didn't dare to meet Zhi Busu's eyes anymore, he just hurriedly saluted everyone, turned around and left here, he didn't care if the lieutenant wanted to stop him.
After Ding Ancheng left, everyone looked at Zhi Busu with dissatisfaction.
Due to their usual sympathy, everyone didn't speak directly, and Mrs. Fan sighed, "Because of me, Daiguo has been implicated. Zhijun, you really shouldn't be like this! Why are you so cruel to him? What about the gift?!"
With Mrs. Fan taking the lead, the rest couldn't bear it anymore and began to discuss.
"This is something that is beneficial to everyone. If you say so, we will not be left behind."
"People don't want to talk about it anymore, so much food, alas"
"We are poor!"
Everyone complained, but Zhi Buyi didn't seem to hear anything, just lowered his head, his face was not moved at all, his eyes were half-closed, and he let others talk.
Suddenly losing so many benefits, everyone in Wo County felt a little unbalanced in their hearts, and Mrs. Fan's reaction was the most obvious. He didn't go to see Zhibuyi for many days, and never came to discuss with him again. It's a big deal, and the attitude of the rest of the officials towards Zhibuyi has obviously cooled down, and is no longer as enthusiastic as before.
Until this day, when Mrs. Fan was working in the mansion as usual, she was startled by the deputy general who broke in.
The lieutenant looked at Mr. Fan out of breath, and held his hand involuntarily, "General!! Please follow me!!"
Fan Kang widened his eyes, "What happened?"
The two rushed out of the city in a hurry, and rushed all the way to the pier on the coast. Many officials gathered here. When Mrs. Fan came here, raised his head, and looked at the sea, he was completely stunned. .
On the turbulent sea in the distance, there are countless ships. The densely packed ships cover almost all the areas that can be seen. Fan Zhang has never seen so many merchant ships in his life. The styles of the merchant ships are different. Some of them are obviously from the south, but some have the characteristics of the north, and the pier is already bustling with people. Many people disembark from here and start to register. Mrs. Fan is a little confused, looking at the endless fleet , asked blankly: "What happened?"
"Open the sea."
The deputy general took out a newspaper and handed it to Mrs. Fan, "There are posters in the temple, and merchants from all over the country are out to do business. Your Majesty mentioned a place called Meizhou. I heard that there are many people here. Gold, jewels in the river. And we are the place to go. This is the approximate road map in the newspaper."
Fan Chen lowered his head, looked at it seriously for a moment, and suddenly realized something.
"That's why Yan Guocai cooperated with us. In fact, he wanted to seize a few piers near the northeast to share our interests?"
"Oh! Nao-kun was wrong!!"
Mrs. Fan gave a loud cry, and led the crowd to find Zhi Buyi to plead guilty.
Zhibu was still the same as before, everyone sincerely pleaded guilty, but he was still extremely calm, without a trace of emotion, and returned the salute to everyone.
Seeing his worried look, Mrs. Fan asked curiously: "We have gained such a big benefit, why are you still unhappy?"
"General, this is the same condition as that of the Yan Kingdom. It is also a sudden blessing, but this is not something we can refuse, so I am very worried about the accompanying disaster."
At this moment, Mrs. Fan didn't dare to say anything anymore, but just took Zhi Buyi's hand,
"With Mr. Zhi here, why fear disaster?"
