Chapter 347 Please open the fighting arena
Fang Zhiwen and Tian Feng sat on the second floor of this pastry shop called "Mailujia". There was a plate of cake and a cup of fragrant tea on the desk. There was also a small wooden fork on the side of the cake. Is this promoting refreshment culture?
The only strange thing is the layout of the second floor tea room, the bamboo mat sitting on the ground, the low desk, and the small screen used for the seats, which seems a bit out of place with the mood of this cake and refreshment, but Tian Feng doesn't seem to think anything is wrong. It is very likely that Fang Zhiwen insisted on putting his previous life's views on this place, so he has this contradictory feeling..././
After tasting the cake, I found that the taste was quite good, and even had a little bit of firewood aroma.
He looked around and found that there were not many people around him, and there were three or two tables scattered, mostly strangers. Fang Zhiwen lowered his voice and said softly: "Yuan Hao, do you know why the imperial court does not open a fighting place?"
Tian Feng shook his head, nodded again, swallowed the cake in his mouth, took a sip of tea, and let out a sigh of satisfaction. Tian Feng said slowly.
"The hero violated the ban with martial arts, and the government did not encourage gambling. This is one of them. The second is that all the people in the court are literati. Who would have thought of this? I think this is roughly the reason."
"Yuan Hao, you said if someone submits a letter and asks to open a fighting place, will the emperor be sure?"
Tian Feng thought for a while and said, "It depends on who was here to run it. If it was an official, the emperor would not allow it. If it was an eunuch, the ministers in the court would find fault again. What happened in the end depends on the negotiations in the court. Are you going to submit a letter to open a fighting place?"
"Then Yuanhao, do you think it can't be opened?" Fang Zhiwen asked with a smile.
"That's right, fighting venues can find something for foreign people and increase local income. As for whether to violate the ban, who cares about the current situation? Therefore, it is not wrong to open a fighting venue, but if the adults come forward to do this, it may be the eunuchs and even the aristocratic races in various places. Is it necessary to do this?"
"So Yuan Hao means that because he is afraid that others will make more money than you, you won't make this money yourself?"
Tian Feng thought about it and it was really true. Although it sounded a little strange, it was just what Fang Zhiwen said, so he nodded helplessly in agreement.
Fang Zhiwen grinned silently. This is a habitual thinking, a typical small peasant idea. If Zhen Jiang and Li Xueyin were here, they would definitely think about how to use these rules to make more money, rather than worrying that others will earn more than themselves. As for Fang Zhiwen himself, they think differently. What he thinks is not how much others make, but how much the indigenous people can earn. As long as the strength of the indigenous people is improved, that is a good thing. Moreover, most of this money is earned from players, which is better.
"Yuan Hao, since there are props like the arena, it means that the gods are encouraging this kind of appearance similar to the fighting arena. If we don't say it, others will say it. In particular, Yi Ren will actively participate in this matter. Instead of letting Yi Ren get a share of the pie at that time, it is better for us to speak now, at least not let Yi Ren reach out to this industry."
"Do you want an official or a royal specialty?"
"This is for sure. No one is willing to share money for others unless they cannot save the money. If this matter is monopolized by the royal family, will the emperor still share it with Yiren?"
"Then we..."
"Our territory is of course our final decision."
"I understand. The adult's vision is broader than Feng! Feng only thought of himself, but the adult already thought of the contradiction between the indigenous people and the strange people."
"Haha, we are just standing at different locations."
"Will that adults prepare to submit a statement immediately to facilitate this?" Tian Feng's eyes flashed. He had some insights into the position that Fang Zhiwen said.
"No, there are better candidates to raise this matter. It is more effective than I propose it, and it is more trustworthy."
"Who? Could it be those eunuchs?"
"Of course, eunuchs can do it too. Think about it. If I write to Zhang Rang and ask him to come up with it, wouldn't I have a big favor? Unfortunately, no matter how much favor Zhang Rang puts, it would be meaningless to give me, because..."
Fang Zhiwen couldn't continue to say this because he couldn't say this thing that had been easy for a few days, and he couldn't say it. Therefore, it is absolutely wrong to invest in Zhang Rang now. Now he should invest in someone with more promising future.
Tian Feng looked at Fang Zhiwen, but Fang Zhiwen had no further information. Tian Feng thought about it and guessed something. He didn't know if it was that way. Anyway, Tian Feng nodded as if he had some understanding.
Seeing this, Fang Zhiwen smiled and ignored the issue, and then said, "I think Liu Bei is a good candidate. He owe me this favor and will ask him to repay it with a great benefit in the future."
“What are the benefits?”
Fang Zhiwen thought about it and didn't think about how Liu Bei should pay it back. Let's talk about this later.
"I don't know yet, but Liu Bei is a person who wants to save face. He asked him to accept our love. No matter what happens, he will have to pay it back."
Tian Feng smiled, deeply understood the principle of suffering because he had to live a life of face, and also understood the principle that the most difficult thing to pay was the debt of favors. He also had a deeper understanding of Fang Zhiwen's insidiousness and thick skin.
"Finally, the three brothers Liu Bei have almost arrived in the capital, right?"
"They should be able to enter Beijing smoothly under the name of escorting taxes. I also told him to find Zhang Rang first. As long as he doesn't make any trouble, he should be able to meet the emperor smoothly. The rest will depend on him to fight for it himself, such a huge Jingzhou!"
"Haha, Jingzhou is good, but it is a place of four battles. It would be fine if it were someone else. It would be in the hands of the three brothers Liu Bei, and I am afraid that there will be no fight for a day."
Fang Zhiwen's eyes turned and smiled and pointed Tian Feng. The little calculation that was deepest in his heart was also seen through by Tian Feng. However, Fang Zhiwen was not unhappy. On the contrary, he admired Tian Feng's ability more. Although Tian Feng didn't care on the surface, he was already sweating tightly.
You should know that many superiors are very afraid of their subordinates’ guessing their thoughts. A boss who has no secrets will lose his sense of mystery and the conditions for being worshipped by his subordinates. This is absolutely not allowed. Therefore, those who are smart but do not hide their wisdom generally have no good ending.
In fact, among the Three Kingdoms, Tian Feng and Yang Xiu are typical examples.
However, Fang Zhiwen is different. Fang Zhiwen comes from modern times and knows that there are other ways to control subordinates. A superior does not need to be smart everywhere. As long as there is a place that can be admired by subordinates, this is - public intention. As long as the superior is fair and has a broad mind, then he doesn't care how capable the superior is.
The meaning of the word "public" is a fair and broad mind.
Therefore, Fang Zhiwen will never be jealous of his subordinates being smarter than himself. If that were the case, his subordinates would not have become a fool!
"Yuan Hao doesn't want to spread the story. It will be bad if Liu Bei feels resentful."
"Haha, why worry, sir? Besides, there are so many smart people in the world, sir, sir, sir, sir, don't care if someone tells Liu Bei these words. The advice given to Liu Bei is the best, but there is no risk for good things! If Liu Bei is a smart person, he will naturally understand this. In fact, Liu Bei is not stupid at all."
Fang Zhiwen took a sip of tea and nodded with satisfaction: "What Yuan Hao said is very good. Liu Bei is very smart in politics and is too bad in military affairs. However, it should be no problem to defend a Jingzhou. If he can find a good military advisor, he doesn't have to be stronger than Yuan Hao, or he is almost as good as Yuan Hao, and he will definitely be able to make a career."
"Sir, are you praising me or scolding me?"
"Of course I'm praising you. If you line up for smart people in the world, Yuan Hao will be able to enter the top ten. Moreover, Yuan Hao is not old, very studious, and has room for improvement. He will definitely be an unparalleled national hero in the future."
It is definitely false to say that Tian Feng is not moved. Some people admire him so much, and he is a superior. He clearly treats the country's scholars. Tian Feng naturally feels like a soldier dies for his confidant. However, on the surface, Tian Feng will not show it. His personality is originally cold and upright.
"So no matter what, I won't let Yuan Hao go back to Yecheng."
"Of course, when the Jizhou Incident is over, I will write to Han Fu, and use Yuan Hao, you as an exchange condition. Blackmailing Han Fu is actually very simple. Yuan Hao must know more about Han Fu's personality than me. And I can guarantee that Yuan Hao can only play more talents here. Of course, it doesn't matter if Yuan Hao doesn't want to. Xilin Academy is also a good place, right?"
"That's right." Tian Feng replied with a smile.
Fang Zhiwen pulled the corners of his mouth. Tian Feng was really hard to deal with. He said this to this extent, but he still didn't show any attitude. But it doesn't matter. Han Fu will definitely agree at that time. Regardless of whether Tian Feng is willing or not, he will be an official in Fengning County. Let's talk about whether he does his best or not.
Fang Zhiwen looked at Tian Feng's old godly look very dissatisfied, and turned his eyes and said, "I heard that Otani Zhi is very powerful, and Mr. Lin often praises her, saying that she has the ancient style of Ganluo. When Yuan Hao, you don't want to be a military advisor, so I will become a military advisor. Would you not be willing to give her any advice at that time? Haha..."
Tian Feng shook his head helplessly. Tian Feng really dared not take Fang Zhiwen's words as fake. Tian Feng would definitely not believe others' words. However, under Fang Zhiwen, his wife is the head of the warehouse, his confidant is the No. 1 civil servant, his sister is the head of the general staff, and even a team of female soldiers. It is probably not impossible to get a female military advisor at that time.
If this happens, Tian Feng will definitely give advice behind his back for the reputation of his daughter. However, if his daughter can really become a military advisor, it must be a beautiful story for celebrities throughout the ages. Tian Feng couldn't help but yearn for it, and then he found that his thoughts were really weird. Looking at Fang Zhiwen who looked smiling opposite, he couldn't help but shake his head awkwardly.
