Chapter 312: Famous Famous

Drugs are a very terrible thing. In the late Qing Dynasty, Western powers opened up China's door with opium and cannons, which began China's century of suffering, and the Chinese people also became weak due to the flood of opium.

The cannons were bombarded by one city and one land, while the opium was poisoned by the body and soul of the entire nation. They could not take up swords and guns, they were addicted to illusion, and they gradually became obedient slaves under the command of the great powers, killing and burying, and being insensitive.

Opium, the plague in which the demons descended into the world, is more terrifying than cannons.

In this life, Xiao Fan opened the Pandora's box and released the devil inside. The difference is that it poisoned another nation, a nation that had more than a hundred years of hatred with the Ming Dynasty.

The accumulation of primitive capital is accompanied by blood and killing, and the accumulation of national strength is the same. In the previous life, Britain made money by opium, and the United States made money by arms. They ruthlessly plundered and massacred the world. Large amounts of wealth flowed into their treasury with the dripping blood. I don’t know how many unjust souls are possessed in each wealth.

Cruel?

Of course cruel!

But such cruelty depends on the position on whichever position they stand. For foreigners, they are devils, and for their own people, they have won glory for their country.

His enemy, my hero.

During the Jianwen period of the Ming Dynasty, a young prince with great power decided to be such a hero! Taking advantage of the fact that the Western Age of Discovery had not yet begun, and while the whole world was still a chaotic and unknown blank, the Ming Empire, this huge country with a distant and mysterious Eastern continent, had its moment of rise.

How to make it dominate the world?

The success of our predecessors can be replicated, just opium and cannons.

As for the Confucian way of "benevolence" and "forgiveness", the slogans can be shouted louder and fooled the layman. Don't take it seriously. - Everyone is no longer a child.

The leader of the three guards of Duoyan, Tuoluhuchal, was very lucky to become the first slave to surrender to the devil's minions.

The slave looks ugly now. In his deep eyes, sour tears flowed, his gray face mixed with a bit of unhealthy blue color, his nose flowed out unconsciously, and was retracted hard, and he looked like an unlucky person who had tuberculosis waiting to die.

"Mr. Duke, please beg me for some blessings and longevity cream. I... feel so uncomfortable!" Tuoluhuchaer begged with a crying voice.

Xiao Fan's mouth curled a smile that no one could understand.

"Do you want a longevity cream? Tell me, if you don't say it, how do I know you want it..." Xiao Fan's smile now had a very flat expression.

Of course, Tuoluhuchaer did not dare to beat him. At present, this young man had already mastered his fate with one hand. He never knew that the hero of the grassland actually surrendered to a few small pieces of black opium...

It’s too late to regret all your reputation!

"My country... Duke, please... please..." Tuoluhuchaer knelt down and bowed deeply at Xiao Fan's feet.

Xiao Fan smiled and said, "Mr. Tuo is so sincere. How can my country's Duke not fulfill it? Of course, there is no problem with Fushou cream, but... there is no free lunch in the world, and of course, no free dinner..."

"Mr. I am willing to give up everything!" The desire for opium made Tuoluhuchaer give up everything, including dignity.

"Fu Shou Paste is a treasure of heaven and earth. It is not easy to make and it is difficult to find a thousand gold. My country's official charges you a cost price, and a piece of Fu Shou Paste is exchanged for ten times the volume of gold..."

"Ah? This... so much?" Tuoluhuchal was stunned.

"The price has increased now, twenty times!" Xiao Fan said slowly.

Tuoluhuchaer was shocked and hurriedly said, "Okay! Twenty times! I want it all! I want it as much as I want..."

Xiao Fan laughed: "The best way! You are so happy to take off your parents. My Duke can't let you spend too much money..."

As he said that, Xiao Fan approached Tuoluhuchaer and said mysteriously: "Do you feel sorry for me?"

Tuoluhuchaer hesitated and said, "I'm going to tell the truth, will you raise the price again?"

"Won't."

Tuoluhuchaer slapped his thigh suddenly and shouted in grief: "Damn it! You are nothing but a beast! You are not called slaughtering people, but Lingchi..."

"...Stop! I decided not to listen to the truth. If you lose your losses, you will always have to make up for it. What do you think?"

"What does this mean by sir?"

"Where is the north of Daning Prefecture?"

"Black Yuan Tribe." Tuoluhuchaer asked without hesitation.

Xiao Fan smiled and patted Tuoluhuchaer on the shoulder and said, "The ancients said: It is better to have fun alone than to have fun. Isn't it too selfish to enjoy such a good thing as longevity cream? You have to let the Mongolians in the north share its happiness, what do you think?"

Tuoluhuchaer thought for a while and said, "My lord, please let me sell it to the Mongolian tribe in the north?"

"Yes, I will send people north to send a batch to the Mongolian princes, nobles and tribal leaders for free. When they feel that they cannot do without it, I will start charging again. At this time, you can stand up and tell the Mongolians that you have the goods in your hands and want to buy them, bring gold, and we will share the money..."

Tuoluhuchaer's heart tightened and he realized that he had fallen into Xiao Fan's trap. However, now he was already in a state of trouble and was addicted to Fushou Paste. He probably wouldn't be able to get rid of it in his life.

Deep fear and unwillingness, as well as strong desire for drugs, all kinds of tastes intertwined in my heart...

After a while of silence, Xiao Fan suddenly sneered: "My Lord is not willing to do this? I will give you this deal for free. You don't want to do it. There are many people who are rushing to do it. You can't do it. If you want to buy Fushou Paste in the future, I will tell you very clearly that there is no goods!"

Tuoluhuchaer trembled all over and immediately shouted: "I've done it! Lord Duke, I'd like to be your most loyal hawk forever..."

Xiao Fan laughed loudly, and his voice surrounded the beams of the roof.

The absent-minded Tuoluhuchaer left the Duke's Mansion. Xiao Fan stared at his desolate back and sighed without saying a word.

Finally, I opened this magic box with my own hands and released the devils, Mongolia, Jurchens, Japan, and these neighbors inside, which will all become stepping stones for the prosperous Ming Dynasty...

A strong country and a prosperous people, dominate the world, blood and killing are hidden under the prosperous light and shadow, which are not seen by the world, and the creation of prosperous times has never been gentle and drizzle.

Thousands of years later, the name Xiao Fan may become the incarnation of the demons in the neighboring country and be cursed for thousands of years.

Behind him, Taixu's old voice sighed: "Do you know what you are doing?"

Xiao Fan didn't look back and showed a strange smile on his face: "Of course I know."

"Your reputation will be intoxicated for thousands of years..." Taixu's voice mixed with regret.

Xiao Fan laughed at the sky: "Famous reputation and false reputation are all superficial reputations! I have done what I should do, and this life is not in vain, it is enough! The merits and demerits in history, and later generations comment on it, what does it have to do with me?"

After saying that, Xiao Fan waved his robe sleeves lightly, turned around and walked into the inner courtyard.

The elegant and slender figure looks so free and easy under the afterglow of the setting sun, without regrets.

I have to change my fame and sing in a low voice.

Spring comes and summer lives, and time flies.

The court was as calm and noisy as usual, and this ancient country slowly moved forward and developed according to the will of those in power.

In mid-April, during the peaceful day, good women from various prefectures and counties were full of dreams of wealthy families in the harem and went to Beijing to perform the talent show one after another. Zhu Yunwen issued an order and Ji Gang, deputy commander of the Jinyiwei, fully handled the talent show.

While Ji Gang worked hard to enrich Zhu Yunwen's harem, the Censor of the Inspectorate and the Six Sections jointly wrote a letter to the Chief Secretary, and he angrily participated in the deputy commander of the Jinyiwei Ji Gang levies a lot of money and acted injustice. Even though he was all over the city, he extorted wealthy officials of the capital, causing countless officials and merchants to lose their fortunes. The kings of the Beijing vassals dared not speak out. This destruction ruined the court's customs and defiled the reputation of the emperor's holy name. The censors asked for a thorough investigation.

Ji Gang stood in the court class and panicked. He was sweating coldly on his pale face, and his panic-like eyes couldn't help but aim at Xiao Fan.

The root cause is that Ji Gang made money with such ugly appearance, but wasn't it to pay Xiao Fan's inexplicable 100,000 taels of silver? Now that the incident is in the Golden Palace, should your prince say a few good things to me, right?

Unexpectedly, Xiao Fan glanced at Ji Gang, then closed his eyes completely, completely ignoring Ji Gang's look of help, and looked old and ignorant, not asking.

——You owe me the money, we have paid it back. We have already paid it back. You can do the trouble you caused by yourself. I am neither an insurance company nor an after-sales service department. I don’t care about you...

Seeing Xiao Fan's appearance of nothing to do, Ji Gang felt a little cold and his expression became sad...

Zhu Yunwen, who was sitting on the dragon throne, saw the performance of the two and couldn't help scratching his head.

Only Zhu Yunwen knew best why Ji Gang worked so hard to make money. To be honest, both of them were right. One was a little anxious to repay the debt, and the other was a matter of course to collect the debt. Who was wrong?

He sighed secretly, and Zhu Yunwen had no choice but to evade it, thinking that you should accept your fate. If I hadn't opened a golden mouth and persuaded Xiao Shidu to reduce the huge debt by half, there would be more than this unlucky people in the capital...

So Zhu Yunwen used a decisive decision and hummed and drew the matter far from being distracted. Ji Gang's crime will be discussed later.

After the court meeting dispersed, the ministers looked at each other and lamented in their hearts.

The emperor favored Ji Gang so much and could not defeat him even if he was impeached. If this continues, it is probably not a blessing for the country.

It is rumored that Lord Xiao and Ji Gang have a lot of disagreements, so why hasn't the news been heard?

Xiao Fan kept calming down.

He knew very well that using greed and blackmail to do things like extortion will inevitably lead to the rules.

In the past two years, Ji Gang has been showing off his beauty, treasures, and lewdness in order to flatter Zhu Yunwen. In order to flatter him, he also played a guest role in the turtle man who was pimped and set up a talent show. The emperor has lived in the deep palace for a long time and is lonely and unable to bear it. Ji Gang also offered love at the same time... Not to mention these, just talk about Ji Gang alone outside the capital, saving Zhu Yunwen's life and making great contributions. Zhu Yunwen is a nostalgic person, how could he be willing to punish Ji Gang for a mere silver and money matter?

The ministers were scattered in the court every day, but there were not many people who could understand this. The censors thought that they could defeat Ji Gang by speaking in unison, which was a joke!

Xiao Fan has been through storms in the court. Although he is young, his mind is even more cunning than the old fox.

He is waiting for an opportunity, a suitable opportunity.

If you are still, you will stand like a mountain. If you move, you will be thunderous. If you don’t move, you will be dead. If you move, you will never turn over.

This opportunity has not arrived yet, so you must keep calm.

Late at night, the inner courtyard of Xiao Mansion.

The red candles reflect the brilliance, the light and shadow sway, and the dark yellow candlelight reflect the joy of the room.

The thrush was wearing a bright red wedding robe and sat at the table in the wing room. Her slender and fair little hands gently picked up a cup of daughter-red. She looked at Xiao Fan with beautiful eyes like autumn water, shy and a little expectation.

Wipe the beads and drain them on the silk sleeves, and pass them on the golden and green cups on the plain hands.

Before the wine entered his throat, Xiao Fan seemed to be drunk.

"My husband, I have been waiting for these years and finally today..." Huamei's shy eyes were filled with a little gratitude, expectation, and a bit of love that was so strong that it could not be dissolved.

Looking at the graceful and delicate body of the painting eyebrows and her face that was more beautiful than flowers, Xiao Fan suppressed the excitement in his heart and sighed in a low voice: "Yes, we have been waiting for a long time..."

Crystal tears hang on the corners of the eyebrows: "Finally..."
To be continued...
