Chapter 1264 : Concealing evil intentions
In a moment, only Xiao Yun and Fang Li were left in the pavilion. Xiao Yun saw that it was getting late, and the eldest lady had already entered Lingyin Temple for about a stick of incense. She was thinking about whether to go in and take a look. Fang Li was still on the side, looking at him with a smile.
Then I remembered the "Lingyin Temple Painting" that I was still holding in my hand, and hurriedly clasped my fists at him and said, "This painting is better for the original owner!" As he said that, he handed over the "Lingyin Temple Painting" in his hand, but he couldn't see Fang Li answered.
Only then did Fang Li smile on his face and said, "Young master is very knowledgeable, so is it perfect to collect this calligraphy and painting?"
Xiao Yun secretly laughed at this person because he had read too much, but his indifferent temperament still made him feel good about it. He clasped his fists and said, "I am really not interested in poetry, songs, calligraphy and paintings. I just learned that the young master's paintings were very valuable, so I wanted to meet a good match and sell this young master's calligraphy and paintings at a good price!"
Fang Li was stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting Xiao Yun to be so honest.
Actually, he didn't know that Xiao Yun had seen his clothes and demeanor for a long time. He was a big shot. How could such a person not have any gaze? I'm afraid that he had already seen through his thoughts. It would be better to have a happy time if he was hypocritical!"
Fang Li looked at Xiao Yun for a while, laughed loudly, and said, "Young Master Xiao is indeed a honest person. To be honest, I know the young master's thoughts, but I didn't expect that the young master is so honest. This alone is enough to deeply admire Fang. This calligraphy and painting is obtained by the young master based on his real talent, whether it is sold or kept, all based on the young master. Fang was not displeased at all!"
Xiao Yun knew that in this era, literati were very caring about his poems, calligraphy and paintings. People with a little fame would never let their poems, songs, calligraphy, paintings, and carvings be linked with money, for fear that others would scold him for being contaminated with the smell of money. Xiao Yun did not expect that the person in front of him would not have any displeasure when he heard that he was going to sell money, and he couldn't help but feel a little strange.
Fang Li seemed to see his thoughts and said, "Young Master doesn't have to worry about it. You can paint calligraphy and paintings for people to see. Some people buy them, and some people buy them, and some people sell them. Today, the young master will not sell them, and some people will sell them in the future. Why can't the young master sell them? If this painting can really be sold for some money, then it would be considered as a good thing Fang did?"
"Okay, okay, well said!" Xiao Yun didn't expect a scholar to say these shocking words. And from his words, there was no intention of looking down on him, but this was enough to make Xiao Yungao take a look.
Fang Li smiled faintly, and the smile was like a faint moonlight, clean, gentle, and soft, like a woman.
"Damn, I just praised you for a few words, there is no need to laugh so hard, right?" Xiao Yun murmured. Seeing that it was getting late, he was a little concerned about Fang Taiping. He was about to leave with his fists, but Fang Li clasped his fists and said, "Brother Xiao, can Fang talk to you?"
"Damn it, two big men, what are you going to say?" Although he cursed in his heart, he had no intention of leaving. He smiled and said, "Young Master, do you want to talk to me?"
Fang Li nodded and said, "Yes, Fang is about to talk to the young master?"
Xiao Yun looked at him and said, "To be honest, I rarely talk to strangers so close. I only like to--?"
"A woman?" Fang Li smiled faintly, with a very natural look on her face. It made people feel very comfortable to see.
Xiao Yun nodded and said, "Young Master has a good eye skills. I can't see such a little privacy. It's really not simple?"
Fang Li smiled slightly and said, "Young Master is outstanding in talent, and with this eloquent mouth, I'm afraid that no woman in the world can escape the clutches of your master?"
Xiao Yun gave him a blank look and said to himself: "Damn, I'm kind to talk to you, but you're cursing me in a different way!"
Fang Li didn't know what he was thinking, and did not speak. He turned his face and glanced at him, asking, "Where is the young master?"
"What are you doing to check your household registration?" Xiao Yun gave him a blank look, thought for a while and said, "I don't know where I am. Is there any difference?"
Fang Li was slightly stunned, then shook his head and smiled, "Young Master is talking about, where is there really no difference?" He paused and said, "What is your life now?"
Xiao Yun was very impatient when asked, and said to himself: "What kind of business do you do? Of course, it's a rebellion. In this situation, can you be at home and guarding a little land? "You naturally won't say this to a stranger. Besides, based on your feelings, the temperament revealed by the person in front of you is an extraordinary person at first glance. He naturally spoke more carefully. After calming down, he said: "What can you do if you make money quickly?"
"Oh, so, the young master is in business?" Fang Li said.
Xiao Yun looked at him and saw that there was no slight contempt on his face. He felt a little more favorable, and his tone became much softer: "It's barely true?"
Fang Li smiled and said, "No wonder, the young master thought about selling it for money when he saw Fang's calligraphy and paintings?"
Xiao Yun heard his tone and said angrily: "Why isn't it good? If everyone has things to sell and things to exchange for money, there will be less wars in the world now, and the Tartars can rest assured!"
Fang Li looked at him in surprise and said, "Young Master's words are a bit bold, but they make sense. If everyone in the world thinks like the young master, then there will be no war in the world?"
"It is actually not impossible to have no war in the world?" Xiao Yun said carelessly.
"Oh, is that?" Fang Li looked at Xiao Yun in surprise and said, "I wonder if the young master has a solution?"
Xiao Yun said: "Of course there is a way, but it wasn't what I thought of?"
"Oh, that's that?" Fang Li narrowed his eyes slightly, and the expression on his face gradually became serious.
Xiao Yun said: "Li Shiming, a wise king, had long said that the king is a boat; the common people are water. Water carries a boat, and water capsizes the boat. If you think of danger, then danger will not come? If you are in the upper hand, you can understand this truth and regard the people of the world as water carrying boats. Let me ask me, the Han people have always been kind and responsible, and they have enough food and wear warm clothes, and the ghosts are willing to rebel and cause trouble. This is not a fun thing!"
"Your lord is a boat; common people are water. Water carries a boat, and water covers the boat. You think of danger with this, and then danger will not come!" Fang Li muttered silently several times, showing a thoughtful look. After about a cup of tea, he sighed heavily and said to Xiao Yun: "Listen to the young master's words is better than reading for ten years. The young master's knowledge and talent are indeed extraordinary?"
Even though Xiao Yun was so swearing, he still turned red after being so thick-skinned, and thought to himself: "I can't tell that this guy looks like a loyal minister, and he is so good at flattering. As expected, he is on the road!"
He smiled and said, "I've been too awarded, I'm just a carefree person. I'm not a talent. You know, I've always been very low-key. If I hadn't met someone like the young master who could trust me, I would never have said anything like this?"
"Fang Mou is so happy, so happy!" Fang Li said a few politely, glanced on Xiao Yun's face, and suddenly sighed, saying, "Young Master's words are very reasonable, but it's a pity that most people are not a scholar. Once they have enough food, they are the most useful?"
Xiao Yun was stunned, and then he felt that Fang Li's words were extremely reasonable. In the past, the Yellow Turban Army, the Five Dogs of Rice Sect, and the Taiping Sect were either wearing sacred cloaks and being used by those who were hiding evil intentions. Even the talented and stubborn Liu Bang wanted to kill himself. To put it bluntly, he was just using different ways to deceive the people! "
"The people can be used to it, but not to know it!" Fang Li sighed and said, "South of Jiangnan has been a prosperous place since ancient times. The lives of the people in the north and the border areas have been much easier. But if you count it carefully, starting from the late Eastern Han Dynasty, the Three Kingdoms, the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, Tang and Song dynasties, have the people in the south been used and launched riots?"
Xiao Yun was slightly stunned, and then thought carefully that since the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the expansion of the plows in the Jiangnan area has emerged; rice has become the first grain crop in the south, and the introduction of Chameng rice, and rice yield in the Taihu Basin has ranked first in the country (Suhu is ripe, the world is full); cotton planting has expanded to a vast area south of the Yangtze River; tea has become an important economic crop.
Liangzhe silk weaving products jumped to the top in the country; private workshops appeared in Jiangsu and Zhejiang; Hainan Island had more advanced cotton textile tools (the rise of the cotton textile industry is of epoch-making significance in the history of my country's handicraft industry); porcelain making industry is also very developed, and Jingdezhen kiln in Jiangxi became the center of the porcelain industry (ceramic capital); shipbuilding technology is also among the forefront of the world, commerce, agriculture, and achievements have all ranked first in all dynasties. Such a prosperous place is also the place where wars are most frequent. Once a famine occurs, hungry people are used and developed into riots, and in the end they have become powerful tools in the hands of those with ulterior motives, thus endangering the country!
