Chapter 1014: Mr. Ding Falls Into the Trap Again
Jiang Fan quickly waved his hand: "Haha, brother Taohua, don't get excited. It's okay. We are also changing with the changes. I didn't expect to take this step."
Ding Shaoan almost wanted to yell, but you didn't expect what would happen? Do you really want me to keep my head down and do it blindly? Isn't this seeking death?
"You only have these four words in your bag? When it comes time to risk your life, kneel down and beg for mercy? Do I still want to show my face?"
Jiang Fan quickly comforted him: "Face is not important, life is important. Look, no matter how you say it, these four words are easy to use, right?"
Ding Shaoan: What the hell...
He really didn't know what to say. If he didn't dare, he would have wanted to slash this annoying face a dozen times.
"...Tell me, Your Majesty, what's going on with this transporter?"
He was dumbfounded when Poppy suddenly came to grant him an official position, but he didn't dare to refuse at that time. But she didn't say what was going on, so Ding Shaoan felt depressed and uneasy.
"Ah..." Jiang Fan scratched his head: "It's probably because she thinks you are a talent..."
Ding Shaoan's head was filled with black threads: "Do you think you can believe this nonsense?"
Jiang Fan was stunned for a moment: "No, you are really good at getting into the inner sect in such a short time. I'm surprised."
Ding Shaoan gritted his teeth: "My lord... is it so difficult for you to tell the truth?"
Jiang Fan deliberately teased him and pretended to think: "Or maybe she sees you as handsome and wants to show your respect..."
"You're just a faceless person!" Ding Shaoan was so angry that he didn't care and just opened his mouth to spit.
Jiang Fan then burst out laughing: "Okay, okay, it's just a joke, you don't know how to be funny."
Ding Shaoan barely suppressed his anger: "Your Majesty, if I guess correctly, this official is the result of the two of you."
Jiang Fan smiled slightly: "Smart."
Ding Shaoan's heart skipped a beat, and he clearly felt that he might be in trouble again.
"Subordinate...if he was smart, he would run away..."
Jiang Fan quickly waved his hand: "Brother Taohua, don't get excited. Speaking of this official, I actually have the greatest trust in you..."
Ding Shaoan reluctantly suppressed his mood and listened to him.
Jiang Fan didn't say it in detail, but Ding Shaoan understood clearly. Jiang Fan and Yu Meiren reached an agreement to manage the Zheng family.
However, he didn't know that Jiang Fan's purpose was completely inconsistent with that of Poppy.
Poppy wants the Zheng family to decline. In her opinion, she has successfully created hatred between Jiang Fan and the Zheng family. The next step is to see the two families fight each other, and then use Jiang Fan to attack Zheng Lin and weaken the Zheng family's power. Bringing trouble to King Xiang.
But she didn't know that Jiang Fan had other ideas. He wanted the Zheng family to be used by him, and what he valued was the Zheng family's shipping industry.
The shipping Jiang Fan wanted was not commercial transportation, but a long voyage. As for the purpose, it is naturally the endless sea.
But for Ding Shaoan, Jiang Fan's statement is very simple. This is an exchange-style cooperation with Poppy. The purpose is to earn huge shipping profits. Ding Shaoan has done a very good job this time and will continue to play an important role.
Ding Shaoan also understood that what he had to do was to carry out Jiang Fan's order, and with the support of Poppy, he could cooperate with Jiang Fan's so-called pirates to attack Zheng Lin under his official position as a transport envoy.
"So..." Jiang Fan looked at him solemnly: "Do you understand how important what you want to do is? A great cause related to endless wealth. We already have Baqing in southern Xinjiang, but you know, Yinglu and Xiang Chen took away most of the profits. If you succeed this time and reopen the situation, you will have made a great contribution..."
The prince's impassioned words and a bunch of big hats stunned Mr. Ding. When he came to his senses, he found that he had already agreed.
Suddenly I came back to my senses and jumped into the big pit again.
And it's a bottomless pit sandwiched between two monsters. Mr. Ding suddenly felt that his future was bleak, and he would probably die young...
I was in a daze and didn't know how I got out. It wasn't until I was awakened by Alai that I felt some kind of collapse.
Alai was very happy: "Shaoan, should we go back?"
Ding Shaoan looked at Alai: "I envy your carefreeness. Tell me, it would be better if I were a little stupider."
Alai was stunned for a moment: "You mean I'm stupid?"
"No, no, that's not what I mean. I mean myself. I look smart, but I'm actually stupid..."
"Oh..." Alai actually nodded: "The prince said that you are not particularly stupid."
Ding Shaoan:? ? ?
Alai said seriously: "Your Majesty, you are such a smart person. For him to say this about you proves that you are really great. Most people don't have such comments..."
Ding Shaoan:......
——
Jiang Fan stayed at Qianfo Temple for ten days. During this period, he would not only talk to Xiao Nuomi every day, but also walk around, read Buddhist scriptures, and eat vegetarian food.
The Thousand Buddhas Temple is well-deserved. Three thousand Buddha statues are worshiped on the entire Thousand Buddhas Mountain. Incense is burning all day long and there are thousands of pilgrims.
The monks of Qianfo Temple are also obviously different from those of Great Buddha Temple. If Jiang Fan feels it, they are more pure and like practicing monks. Unlike those in Great Buddha Temple, they always feel weird.
But Jiang Fan still realized that Nanzong was really not that simple. Not to mention anything else, the old guy or the old fisherman told him that there are at least a thousand Buddhist monks here, and they are very advanced in Buddhism and cultivation, and they are worthy of being a Buddhist holy land.
And Jiang Fan felt that the most unfathomable person was the great monk.
This guy is no less stature than Master Tianjizi, and smiles like Maitreya all day long. His cultivation level is absolutely unfathomable. At least the fisherman said that it is not easy to hide his cultivation level in front of him.
However, what Jiang Fan cared about most was this person's mind.
The great monk often chatted with Jiang Fan when he had nothing to do. Although it seemed ordinary, he always recalled every detail, giving Jiang Fan the feeling that he had a lot of things in his heart. This person's vision was not at all in Southern Chu or Eastern Jin, but more like in Southern Chu or Eastern Jin. Focus on the entire world.
This big belly is obviously not a wine bag, but a Zen machine.
Therefore, Jiang Fan once gave him a couplet:
A big belly can tolerate things that are difficult to tolerate in the world.
Open your mouth and laugh at the ridiculous people in the world.
The great monk liked it very much and praised the prince repeatedly for his literary talents.
And through this stall, the great monk suddenly mentioned something that Jiang Fan mentioned when he first came here, about becoming a Taoist boy who protects the Buddha.
Jiang Fan looked at him and smiled: "You, the great monk, have chosen a good opportunity. Since the Buddha is my sister, it is appropriate for me to be the protector."
The great monk announced the name of Buddha: "Your Majesty, the poor monk mentioned this not because he wanted you to be a Taoist boy who protects the Dharma, but because we have said... a disciple of the Buddha."
Jiang Fan was stunned: "What did you say?"
The great monk said seriously: "Buddha, reincarnated soul boy."
Jiang Fan looked at him in disbelief: "In the beginning, I was just exploring some things and just said it casually. Why did you take it seriously?"
The great monk smiled slightly: "Buddhism does not lie. The poor monk is sincere. Sooner or later, the prince will trust him and give the Heart Sutra to our sect. With this and two Buddhist treasures, if the prince is not the reincarnation of the Buddha, who is worthy of it?"
