Chapter 259 Promotion (Part 2)
"Fang Xin, I didn't expect you to be so good at joking!" After a moment, the two walked to Fang Xin and said.
Fang Xin looked at it, but he knew that it was He De, a direct son of the He family, the hereditary noble Count. Following him was one of his female distant relatives, Hongli.
He De's identity is not simple. He graduated from the Central University of the Imperial Capital (adapted from Tai Academy), and his wealth is also good. He has the title of Viscount (of course, this is not Shijue, but property).
Hongli inherited her father's legacy and also owned a "Shi" Jue. She also owned a large area of land in the countryside and had shares in a textile factory.
The two have a certain relationship with Fang Xin and are more familiar with each other.
"I'll try it. What's going on to the imperial capital this time?" Fang Xin said with a faint smile. This body was the legitimate son of the Fang family. He inherited half of his father's wealth, but the inheritance was only 2 million silver dollars. It was his ability to increase it to 6 million in three years.
Of course, this is also because there is an emperor in the center. Dazheng knows that it is like someone on earth knows internal news. If you don’t make money, you are incompetent, but it’s not that Fang Xin is very good at managing.
"My grandfather went to the imperial capital parliament to report, and we also went to see it. Moreover, I rarely went to the imperial capital Central University, so I also went to see my classmates."
"So that's it!" Fang Xin nodded, paused, and said, "This is the second one, right?"
"Yes, the first councils at all levels are still a little empty, but the second council has been enriched a lot. The emperor is still caring! He doesn't hate it for fourteen years. Yes, Fang Xin, your current title can also be included in the Central Parliament of the Empire." He De said: "Are you interested? If so, I can ask my grandfather to introduce you."
"No, I am already a member of the Wanhua Mansion. It's enough to have this." Fang Xin shook his head and said as he shook his head.
In the spring of the 14th year of the Yuan Dynasty, a palace coup involved many nobles. This matter was not widely publicized, but as a punishment, twenty-seven nobles were deposed and the hereditary aristocratic class lost the privilege of tax reduction this time.
But in the following year, that is, in the fifteenth year of the Yuan Dynasty, the emperor established a parliament, and all levels of nobles were given. Generally speaking, hereditary aristocracy directly entered the central parliament of the empire, and the following were divided into three levels: province, prefecture and county, and those non-hereditary aristocracy were given to supervise governments at all levels.
After twenty years, the old nobles were weakened and the scholars and officials looked up. If they continued, they would form a one-sided trend and destroy the foundation. Therefore, they were dealt with the nobles, dismantled the last core, and gave them sweet dates, giving them the power to supervise governments and officials at all levels.
Although this aroused strong opposition from the scholar-officials and strongly condemned the newspapers controlled by the scholar-officials, on the contrary, although the majority of those who have made their titles due to wealth are analogous to the rank of county magistrates, they have no power - without power, and having a title alone is not enough to protect themselves
Therefore, this time the council was held and some supervision power was transferred, which received an unprecedented response. Not only was the old nobles very pleased and felt that the royal family had not forgotten them, but a large number of new nobles from the folk spoke and supported them, making the scholar-official class who had used the order to deprive the old nobles. Suddenly, they found that while overwhelming the old opponent, they released a stronger monster.
Since then, the Censorate has only internal supervision, while the parliament is external supervision. The mutual restraint and opposition between the nobles and the literati class has been further formed.
Only after the new capital aristocrats grasped huge powers did the so-called parliament come naturally
Those who are good at fighting have no great achievements. Fang Xin has established a great model for 280 years, and it has been considered completed.
"The Wanhua Prefecture Councilor is just a government-level. Mr. Fang, with your financial resources, you can go to the provincial level even if you don't go to the central government." He De has a strong sense of centralism and hierarchy.
"No, I'm going to Lanlin City and I'm going to participate in the long voyage." Fang Xin replied.
"Skyway? Is it the third search for the fleet?"
The emperor discovered the silver mine in Tongmu Island, which made everyone envious. The nobles and the civilians organized a search fleet and began to conduct formal searches on the oceans 50 kilometers away. In the past, everyone thought that the sea was deserted and very dangerous, and there were few voyagers.
The first second long voyage was mainly conducted on a 500-kilometer offshore inspection. This was supported by the imperial government. Government officials participated and drew a map of the offshore. I found many islands, but I haven't found the second silver island that contains huge wealth.
This is the third time. It is said that it will go thousands of kilometers to sea, so the momentum is very large, and it is difficult for the government and the nobles to support it, so it absorbs a large amount of private capital to participate.
"This is too dangerous. It is said that this voyage will take several months to go into the unpredictable land of the deep sea. The son of a thousand gold, and the place cannot sit in the hall. Why should Brother Fang go?"
This kind of long voyage is mostly sent to you, but you won’t go there.
Fang Xin smiled, no answer. This time, I am afraid that I will encounter other continents. After all, according to my own distant view, basically other continents have been initially in place. The reason why they appear is that there is no communication yet. Once the communication begins, the whole world will immediately stabilize.
Each continent has its own laws, but when Hunyuan is integrated, they will communicate with each other. However, this communication is not equal. Although both exist, it is also more important.
If you take the lead, you can also gain a lot of benefits.
So this time, Fang Xin must go.
The three of them knew each other, but they were not very familiar with each other. When Fang Xin smiled and said nothing, he didn't say much. After chatting for a while, he left again
It was late at night, Fang Xin left the deck and returned to his cabin.
As soon as I woke up, I arrived in Lanlin City
When Fang Xin got ashore, he took a carriage to the Fang family's mansion in Lanlin City.
This mansion is the garden villa that Jingjian is now. There are three small buildings and surrounded by gardens. It is the industry purchased by Fang Xin, not the original Fang family's industry.
This villa is naturally managed by the Fang family. The housekeeper is Yuan Shang and his wife. When they arrived at the door, someone informed him. After a moment, Yuan Shang opened the door in person to welcome Fang Xin.
"Young Master, you are finally here!" Yuan Shang looked at Fang Xin with concern. He grew up at Fang Xin and said with a smile: "Last time I sent a telegram and said that I would arrive the day before yesterday, but today, these days really make the old servant worried!"
With the development of mainland economy and transportation, a communication tool that is not affected by the weather, is not limited by time and runs faster than trains.
Therefore, wired telegrams were invented and soon became used in government communications. Stations in various places were officially renamed Postal Bureaus.
"Uncle Yuan has troubled me. Actually, there is nothing. He just stayed there for two days!" Fang Xin got off the carriage and said.
"Yuanhang Exploration Bureau, has it been posted?" Fang Xin asked the first thing he did when he returned home.
"Yes, in the study, I said I was asking the young master to arrive at the club on the ninth day of the fourth month."
"That's the day after tomorrow. I understand, I'm just taking a break." Fang Xin smiled slightly and entered the small building.
As a style influenced by time travelers, this small building combines classical art. The small building is elegant and luxurious. In the study, there are even thin rattan lounge chairs. The sun shines on it, and it is not too bright. It is very suitable for reading.
There was no one around, Fang Xin stretched out a hand, and a faint golden light appeared. After a moment, Fang Xin shook his head
The consequence of world promotion is that concentration tends to be material. In this way, the difficulty of supernatural powers interfering in the world will become higher and higher, and the power floating in the air that can be easily absorbed by the human body will become less and less.
Although the world still has negative power, it is difficult to directly affect matter
Even merits and fortunes can only affect the connection of fate in the dark and affect it, and it is difficult to directly interfere with matter.
That being said, Fang Xin took out a small seal
This seal is made of topaz. In the sunlight, the reflected light appears particularly soft. It is carved with very fine intimate texts and symbols. On the bottom of the seal, there is only one Tai Chi diagram.
The so-called number of qi, qi is the original, and qi is the life span or scale that your qi can reach.
A person, or all things, always have their own life span, with different lengths, and their fortunes are different at different highs and highs, and their scales are different, which leads to good fortune and bad fortune.
When the energy is high, you will encounter lucky things. When the energy is extremely low, you will encounter the so-called disaster. For example, if a fish is not caught when the luck is extremely low, it can resume rising and continue to survive. However, if it catches it when the luck is extremely low, it will die, and the energy will not have a chance to rebound again.
But no matter where, as time goes by, these air numbers continue to decrease, just like a person is about to die, a tree is about to rot, and a stone is about to rot. This is the real air numbers are gone.
And the meaning of suppressing the number of air
Extend the overall life span, and turn the original two hundred years into five hundred years. This is to increase the thickness of the original number of air, increase the scale of luck, and make the originally mediocre, now higher than that of people, and secondly, it can lock the upper and lower limits.
The lower limit is easy to understand, which means that luck will not fall to the bottom, that is, there is a certain lower limit (stop loss line) that is supported, so there will be no too difficult "catastrophe"
Some people don’t know the upper limit, but you should know the sentence “Climb high, fall badly”. If luck is higher than life, then the outcome will be very tragic.
This small seal is a magic weapon made by Fang Xin's above principles, which can suppress the number of air
However, the so-called suppression amount, the vast majority of them refer to the incompleteness. Those who should die will die, but their lifespan will become longer, and their capacity will not increase infinitely, and they have limits.
This is the content of Taoism, and it is actually available in the secular world. For example, official positions, titles, and imperial thrones are all things that suppress the number of energy. The emperors of all dynasties were not all true destinies, but if they ascend the throne, unless the throne is gone, no matter how luck evolves, they will be suppressed by this "divine weapon" and will not fall there.
For example, if someone is the governor of a province, no matter how his fortune evolves, as long as his official position is not removed, your decline and rise will remain within a certain range. This is a public service.
For example, if someone makes 10 million silver dollars when luck comes, this person invests it carefully, or simply stores it in the bank for interest. As long as you don’t spend money in a crazy way, or encounter some financial storms, then in the future, no matter how your energy goes up, you will not fall there - you have no worries about food and clothing, and you are in a cheerful mood, which can guarantee that you are healthy, etc.
The principle of the great way can be extremely deep, and shallow can be extremely shallow. Only by believing in understanding the principle of this fortune can this simple and clever magic weapon - if it is simple and profound, it is not the right way.
In terms of Fang Xin's luck, this is not needed, but because there are two clones, in order to avoid mutual interference, this time the body's body was not carried any qi, so the body's qi was inherited, so this square seal was made to suppress the qi.
In the Tianmu, the auspicious energy belonging to this body and even some families is absorbed into it, and will not be leaked easily or consumed by external forces, so the fluctuations will be much less
The money earned and the good deeds done have a slight merit hanging from the void and injected into the seal, but its quality is several levels lower than the merits of the origin of heaven and earth.
Benefiting people, gaining merits can only be rich and honorable, but it still has a considerable effect on this body
If we look at this shipping, we can see a golden light running through it, which shows that this long voyage is greatly protected by luck, and we can also take advantage of the time to absorb some luck.
However, this does not guarantee absolute safety
Fang Xin thought something and looked at the sword hanging on the wall. After thinking for a while, he opened a drawer in the study and took out a pistol.
This type of pistol is also a front-loading pistol loaded with muzzles. The bullets are paper bullets and can be loaded in one round
As a nobleman, he has the right to hold a gun and a sword.
The world is gradually materializing, and magical powers are bound, but martial arts and marksmanship are not bound. Thinking of this, Fang Xin smiled.
After calming down, he shouted: "Uncle Yuan!"
"Hey, young master, what are your instructions?" Yuan Shang, the housekeeper next door, responded.
"Get me ten thousand silver dollars and ask for silver." Most of them used paper money, but if you go to another continent, it would be that silver is a hard currency.
"Young master, there are five thousand silver dollars in your house. If you want to get it, there are five thousand. Rong Laofu will run to the bank once." The butler Yuan Shang immediately responded, without asking what the purpose was.
A silver ball actually weighs about 45 grams, not one tael (although when one tael is calculated as the value), even so, ten thousand silver balls weigh 450 kilograms, and I guess someone would have to be carried up when I got on the boat. Fang Xin laughed so hard.
"Okay, you can do it!" After giving the order, he saw that the butler Yuan Shang had not left for a while, and was a little surprised.
"Young Master, you are going to voyage, but the old servant can't persuade you, but there are many people on the boat. Do you bring a few people up there to serve you? It's also much safer." The butler Yuan Shang said loyally.
This time, as long as you can reach the other continent, you will complete a great merit. Fang Xin just goes to see it and then collects some merits. Although it has many merits now, it will not be left behind.
Chapter completed!
