Mu Yuanzuo also brought a secret letter from His Majesty Li Er, which he had no right to read, so he respectfully escaped from his arms and handed it to Fang Jun with both hands. He looked at Fang Jun more and more.

A bit of trust and respect.

This is a secret letter from the emperor!

Looking around the world, who has the qualifications to allow the emperor to write personal letters and secret letters?

This is a status symbol and a manifestation of status.

Jane is in the heart of the emperor!

Fang Jun didn't feel that he had any honor. He lacked the sense of awe that people in this era generally have for creatures like the emperor. He didn't even check the paint on the envelope, and just opened it in front of Mu Yuanzuo.

Mu Yuanzuo was so moved...

A few seemingly casual details represent Fang Jun's trust in him!

Not to mention whether he is pretending or not, who dares to pretend that such a matter involves the emperor's secret letter, and who can afford the risk?

They regard him, Mu Yuanzuo, as one of their own...

There was actually nothing written in the secret letter, not even an explanation for Zhang Liang's succession to the position of general manager. He only told Fang Jun that he was allowed to sell Zhentian Lei to the Arabs, but the formula of the gunpowder must be kept strictly confidential, and he could not sell it for any amount of money.

! In addition, the research and development of artillery must be under the highest level of confidentiality measures, and manpower and material resources must continue to be invested to enhance the power and range of the artillery.

Also, the harvest in Guanzhong this year was not very good, and he did not want to increase the amount of water transportation and increase the burden on the court and the people, so Fang Jun was asked to purchase a batch of grain in Jiangnan and transport it to Guanzhong.

As for the money to buy food, I didn’t mention it...

Fang Jun was not surprised. This approach was very Li Er...

Knowing this, Fang Jun asked Liu Rengui to bring a fire seal, ignite the secret letter and burn it to ashes.

After chatting for a while, Fang Jun stayed with Mu Yuanzuo to eat. Mu Yuanzuo pretended to be reluctant and agreed. The reputation of Fangfu's fine wine had already spread throughout the Tang Dynasty. Mu Yuanzuo visited his old friend in Chang'an before.

, I was lucky enough to taste it once, and at that time I felt that this wine should only be found in heaven, and how many times can I taste it on earth? It’s a pity that I only had such a small pot, and I didn’t drink enough. Today, the Marquis left a meal, so I will definitely be able to taste it again.

That worldly wine?

But Fang Jun felt a little contempt in his heart.

He sincerely stayed with Sun Chengen to eat, but he refused, and was anxious to go back and do things for his father and fellow villagers. It was not easy to get a promise from a marquis, so he had to fulfill his promise quickly, lest Fang Jun regret it later.

He just gave a few words of humility to let Mu Yuanzuo eat, and the guy agreed...

Therefore, the gap between people is huge. Integrity has absolutely nothing to do with more money and less officialdom.

But after all, I am on my own line, so I should have a meal to comfort myself.

Mu Cishi was not qualified to enjoy the treatment of the Marquis personally cooking, but Fang Jun was not stingy with the hospitality of good wine and good food. He ordered the cook to prepare a table of seafood and dug out a stall of sixty-degree food in the bilge.

Good wine, I decided to knock Mu Yuanzuo to the ground today. Don’t you want to drink good wine?

Then drink as much as you can, and you won’t be able to stop drinking.

Young Master Yu Ming is like a primary school student, always able to go home with some food...

This man who spends his days wandering around various ships, studying sails today, thunderbolts tomorrow, and artillery the next, is like a child given a fun toy, full of energy and never tired of it every day.

Fang Jun had to sigh, this child is so easy to raise...

The seafood is all caught by Fang Jun himself, absolutely fresh, and the chef's skills are also very good. He learned several unique skills from Fang Jun in cooking, frying, stir-frying, and stewing, and prepared a large table of dishes with all the colors, flavors and aromas.

The mellow and strong liquor of 60% alcohol is not something that people in this era without "alcohol training" can easily enjoy. After a few drinks, everyone present, including Fang Jun, became a little tipsy.

Why do Chinese people like wine culture?

Just because there is no big or small thing at the wine table, even two people with very different statuses can still hook up and call each other brothers after three drinks. Some words that are usually too embarrassing to say out loud are said out loud by drinking wine to hide one's face...

…

Mu Yuanzuo threw away all his hats, opened his clothes, his face was red, smelling of alcohol, he pointed at Fang Jun with blurred eyes and said: "To be honest, sometimes I just don't understand. Mr. Marquis, you are both a marquis."

Now, he is the emperor's son-in-law, and his father is still the prime minister of the dynasty. Why don't he just live in Guanzhong and be your dandy, marry a few beauties, and be free and at ease? Why don't you come to the south of the Yangtze River to take a dip in this muddy water?

Aren’t you making yourself uncomfortable?”

Fang Jun glared and said, "You know nothing! People have to have ideals and pursuits, you know? If you don't have ideals or pursuits, what's the difference between you and salted fish?"

Mu Yuanzuo sneered, this guy was probably really drunk, and looked at Fang Jun with drunken eyes: "So you dare to risk the disapproval of the world and kill all the Gu family members? So you dare to lead the troops to sea in person regardless of safety?

Destroying pirates? I don’t understand, what is your pursuit?”

Liu Renyuan also joined in the fun: "Yes, Lord Marquis, what ideals and pursuits have you been talking about all day long? Tell me, what is your ideal? To be a first-class official? To be granted the title of Duke? Or are you aiming to be a generational leader?

A powerful minister?"

This is a bit exaggerated, but who said this is at the wine table? Anyway, there are no royal guards these days, and His Majesty Li Er's magnanimity is not comparable to that of the useless descendants of the old Zhu family, even if His Majesty Li Er is sitting at the table

I don't care about such drunken talk either.

Not to mention being a powerful minister, His Majesty Li Er would laugh it off even if he suggested rebellion at the wine table.

Of course, if you really do this secretly in private, that's absolutely not okay...

Fang Jun burped, thought for a while, raised his glass, and chanted loudly: "Xiao Zhu gradually sleeps soundly, and there is an alliance in the time of worry. He calls out the wine bottles to greet the guests, and waves the dust to sit and talk. The clouds protect the toothpicks.

, the star contains a sword. The title is not my intention, I hope the sea will be peaceful!"

A quatrain that shocked the whole table.

Everyone looked at the arrogant Fang Jun in astonishment.

Fang Jun slapped his forehead. He was really drunk. How could he blurt out his favorite poem from his previous life?

Grandpa Qi, I'm sorry for you...

"It's not my intention to be granted a title, I hope the sea will be peaceful..."

Liu Rengui raised his glass and drank it all in one gulp.

"It's not my intention to be granted a title, but I hope the sea will be peaceful!"

Liu Renyuan and Xue Rengui looked at each other and saw the blood boiling in the other's eyes. They remained silent and raised their glasses to drink.

"It's not my intention to be granted a title, but I hope the sea will be peaceful!"

Mu Yuanzuo was stunned for a long time. He felt his head was hot and blurted out: "How magnificent! I am the great Tang Dynasty! How magnificent! I am the Marquis of Huating! With such great ambition and ambition, how can we be embarrassed by the Marquis? Please let Mu

With my tail attached, follow the Marquis and create a great cause together! Congratulations to Your Majesty!"

He raised his glass and drank the wine.

"Congratulations to the Tang Dynasty!"

Have another drink.

"Congratulations to the Marquis!"

After three cups, he fell to the ground with a "pop" and got under the table, falling asleep.

Yu Minglei also raised his glass and toasted Fang Jun said: "This is well said, and it has the flavor of a famous minister through the ages. Although your behavior has nothing to do with a famous minister through the ages, it is just for the sake of this poem.

, I still have to give you a toast!”

Mother!

can you speak?

I just recited a poem. Who the hell wants to be a famous official through the ages? Any person who is a famous official through the ages has not suffered countless blows and criticisms while alive, and even had to die unjustly. Only then can he leave his name in history.

, shine in the annals of history?

Fan Zhongyan's character is invincible. If not for the failure of reform and the sympathy of later generations, how could he have such great influence?

Yue Fei's achievements are unparalleled, but if he hadn't been framed by a foolish emperor and traitorous ministers, would he have such an unparalleled reputation?

Zhang Juzheng can be called the first reformer in history, but if his house had not been confiscated and his coffin had not been confiscated after his death, would he have been so highly regarded?

Therefore, most people who can be called famous officials through the ages and have unparalleled influence have shortcomings. Shortcomings produce beauty, and tragedy can make people remember and move them more!

Fang Jun doesn't want his life to become a tragedy...

I traveled through time to enjoy it, and the things I am doing now are only the historical responsibilities that a time traveler should bear. If one day I find that this road is blocked, I will definitely retreat decisively!

What reforms and great undertakings, go to hell!

I just want my wife to stay warm and be my dandy son happily!

If by the way, he can still train his son to be a dandy, then his life will not be in vain!
Chapter completed!
