Chapter 1164 Tools
Shen Hao didn't wait for the closing banquet of the Book Tasting Conference, he left Wanjuan Book Mountain and returned to Fengsun City on the afternoon of the third day.
Zhong Hongye and Xiang Liu sent him off when they parted, and everything was kept silent. The latter two will have to deal with Fenghong Villa, and Shen Hao will also have more contacts with them.
So the future will be long, and we will talk about the later things later, but we have made a good start at present.
While in the carriage, Shen Hao took out a copper bar and wrote down the things he had done on the Wanjuan Shushan in the past few days in detail, and then handed it over to Yang Yicheng, who was traveling with him.
"I'll trouble Head Yang to take this note back to the owner."
"Okay, Mr. Shen, don't worry."
Yang Yicheng cupped his hands, although his attitude was the same as when he came, but he had a considerable sense of identification with the foreign affairs chief deacon of this villa in his heart. This Mr. Shen is indeed a capable person. Being a foreign affairs deacon is definitely worthy of the owner's trust.
Nodding his head, Shen Hao didn't mean to talk to Yang Yicheng. He has a ruler in his heart, and he always feels that it is necessary to keep a certain distance from Fenghong Villa, a sensitive place.
It was already evening when we returned to Fengri City, Shen Hao went home directly, and the Golden Sword Guards from the Golden Sword Camp of Fenghong Villa who followed along the way also turned around and returned to the Imperial City after Shen Hao returned home, and returned to the villa to report their orders.
Yang Yi submitted the copper bar that Shen Hao asked him to hand over in the owner's study.
Like most monks, Yang Xiusheng no longer needs sleep so much. On weekdays, he is either meditating or dealing with necessary affairs in the villa. Although trivial matters are handled by the star duty officer of the villa, there are actually not many things that can be handed over to him.
Hearing that Yang Yi had come back to ask for an audience, Yang Xiusheng came out of the secret room of practice. Unfolding the copper bar, quickly read it, and nodded subconsciously.
"Tell me everything you saw and heard when you went to Wanjuan Shushan."
"It's the owner." Yang Yicheng bowed and said, "This time I followed Mr. Shen all the way and never left half a step. Mr. Shen didn't do anything out of the ordinary when we went up the mountain."
Personal bodyguards can also be used as personal surveillance. Participating in an occasion like a book tasting conference, there are things that can be scrutinized in every aspect. Not only Shen Hao himself, but also the attitude of those sects towards Shen Hao can also be pondered.
Yang Xiusheng listened very carefully, and Yang Yicheng did not miss a single bit of what he said.
"Reading? What book are you reading?" Yang Xiusheng stopped Yang Yicheng's words in surprise. He didn't expect Shen Hao to run to read books after he arrived at Wanjuan Shushan. Could it be that he is coveting the practice classics of Ten Thousand Volumes of Books? That stuff is also visible to outsiders?
"I read all kinds of travel notes and essays. It seemed that I was looking for something. Later, after the banquet, I went back to the library and met Xuan Tianqing, the fifth elder of Wanjuan Shushan. He gave Mr. Shen a book called "The Strange Land" Mr. Shen sat down and read the books, and left the library after reading it, and he never went there after two days."
"Xuan Tianqing? Did you give him a book?" Yang Xiusheng also felt strange after hearing this. He waved his hand to let Yang Yicheng continue talking.
Afterwards, Yang Yicheng also finished explaining Shen Hao's set of arguments about cultivating the mind in the venue and the final results of "investigating" and "punishing" separately.
Basically, there is no difference from what is written on the copper bar. Yang Xiusheng waved Yang Yicheng back.
After closing the door, Yang Xiusheng stood up from the chair and walked to the window, with many thoughts in his mind. Things went better than he expected. Sure enough, Wanjuanshushan and Mingshanzong couldn't resist the temptation to intervene in the internal affairs of each sect. Knowing that Fenghong Villa's move might disturb the peace of the sect, they still chose to take the risk.
From this point of view, Shen Hao's eyes are indeed sharp, and he has penetrated the thoughts of Wanjuan Shushan and Mingshanzong. From now on, he will be induced slowly, and he will always be able to pry open the iron plate of the Zongmen that has been lying in front of Jing Jiuchao for many years.
Of course, Yang Xiusheng is not in a hurry, he is very satisfied with the current beginning, and also very satisfied that Shen Hao, a smart and capable person, can be his knife.
As for those people in Fenghong Villa who wanted to dawdle, to be honest, Yang Xiusheng didn't care too much. As long as the two ancestors are in charge of the villa, and the Golden Sword Battalion is in hand, it is not impossible for other people to give up when it is time to give up.
Just like planting a tree, there are always times when the branches and leaves need to be pruned. The villa owner of the previous generation had reminded Yang Xiusheng of this point. He doesn't mind pruning things while he's at the helm.
Regarding the Zongmen, taking back from the Zongmen the resources that belonged to the old Jing Dynasty was not only Yang Xiusheng's long-cherished wish, but also his attempt after obtaining the consent of Emperor Shu.
I really like the experience of Emperor Shu, which made Emperor Shu have a different character and temper from the previous emperors. I understand better how to "calculate carefully" instead of thinking that the family has a big business and a big business is leaking things everywhere.
It was Shen Hao who made Yang Xiusheng very interested. In terms of talent and ability, this person is naturally beyond doubt. But the behavior is often unexpected, and there is always a meaning of getting out of control. The emperor said that this kid is a single-edged knife, but Yang Xiusheng sometimes felt that maybe this knife is double-edged, it depends on how to use it.
From Yang Yicheng's narration just now, it can be seen that Shen Hao's argument about cultivating the mind, Shen Hao clearly sees his position in the world, and enjoys it without any yearning for the sect . This is good, at least you don't have to worry about backwaters for the time being.
But this man's curiosity is too strong.
Yang Xiusheng hadn’t remembered it when he heard Yang Yicheng’s talk just now, but now he remembered the book Xuan Tianqing gave Shen Hao’s "The Strange Land" that he had read a long time ago, even Feng Hong There is actually a rubbing copy kept in the villa.
There is a lot of content in "A Strange Land", but it is not always the case that it mainly talks about a strange land. It is actually more appropriate to regard it as a historical documentary with a special place as the time context.
"That kid seems to be looking for the missing years, and wants to know what happened. Hehe." Yang Xiusheng laughed unconsciously when he thought of this.
Smart people are smart people after all. It's not difficult to perceive a missing piece of history, but it's not so simple to really understand it. In other words, there are only a handful of people in this world who really know the truth of that period of history, and it is impossible to see it just by looking at the recorded documents.
Yang Xiusheng believes that a smart and current affairs person like Shen Hao will know how to advance and retreat, and it will be enough to tap his curiosity when the time comes. What is worth pondering is actually Xuan Tianqing, why did this person jump out and give the book to Shen Hao?
Looking at the moonlight outside the window for a while, Yang Xiusheng sat back on the chair and took out a blank copper bar. He wanted to give Shen Hao a copy of the order. There should be more detailed orders regarding the foreign affairs of Fenghong Villa.
Now that a consensus has been reached with the sect, it should be added to the fire, at least let Wanjuan Shushan and Mingshan sect taste the sweetness of controlling the internal affairs of other sects, right?
