Chapter 475 Holy Gong Fangla
Shanghai City! The crowds of people are surging, business travel is constant, and ships are coming and going in an endless stream. Goods from all over the world gather in Shanghai City with the help of water transportation, making Shanghai City's business extremely prosperous.

"Who would have thought that the city of Shanghai three years ago was just an uninhabited tidal flat on the Huangpu River and the Yangtze River. The evil doctor Fan Zheng's evil prescription could actually cause such earth-shaking changes in the city of Shanghai."

A Qingxi citizen lamented that three years ago when they came to Shanghai, the city was still desolate, with construction sites everywhere. But now Shanghai has undergone such earth-shaking changes, and they also have a role to play. Of course, they have gained a lot of wages. , most of their families have escaped poverty and become rich.

"The evil doctor Fan Zheng really deserves his reputation!" The business travelers who came and went were even more amazed.

Shanghai City undertakes the transshipment of bulk goods from all over the world, among which goods from Southeast Asia and the West cost huge sums of money. Many people became rich overnight in Shanghai City, and there were countless people who made huge fortunes.

However, this money is nothing compared to the generosity of the evil doctor Fan Zheng. The evil doctor Fan Zheng brought 5 million yuan to Songjiang Prefecture to build Shanghai City. Now he controls the core area of ​​Shanghai City and the most profitable port. in the hands of the government.

According to the land price in Shanghai, the land controlled by the government is worth at least 50 million yuan, and it is all priced but not marketable. In the future, just collecting rent can make a lot of money.

"Evil doctor Fan Zheng's evil prescription is truly wonderful, it can be said that he has the Midas touch to turn stone into gold!"

Anyone arriving in Shanghai City will see that its prosperity is no less than that of other thousand-year-old cities. Moreover, Shanghai City has just been built with abundant funds, brand-new buildings, and reasonable planning. Compared with other ancient cities, Shanghai City has unique advantages.

"Hmph! Dog officers are the best at winning people's hearts?"

Along the way, Fang La couldn't help but snort in his heart as he listened to the Shanghai businessman's high praise for the evil doctor Fan Zheng.

Although his family history was closely related to the evil doctor Fan Zheng, he never had the slightest gratitude to the evil doctor Fan Zheng, only endless hatred.

In order to endure the humiliation and let the officials lower their guard, he did not hesitate to violate the teachings and took the lead in eating meat, and even ate pork in public, thus evading the government's investigation.

"What the leader said is true!"

The Manichaean fanatics behind Fang La all agreed. They made a fortune with the help of Fan Zheng's policies, but no one was grateful to Fan Zheng.

Fang La led a group of Manichean believers, wandering east and west to a place on the edge of Shanghai City. This was already the edge area of ​​Shanghai City, but the land price was still very valuable.

First of all, Shanghai City is a city without walls. Although this place will be relatively remote in the future, it will definitely develop again and become the center of the city. There have been countless such cases in the past three years.

Secondly, the evil doctor Fan Zheng stipulates that all land development must be planned by the government, and individuals are not allowed to buy and sell land privately. The price of land sold by the government is quite expensive, making land in Shanghai very expensive and in short supply. .

This was Fan Zheng's method of land finance adopted by later generations. Although Fan Zheng brought five million guan of money, building a city was a beast that swallowed gold. Five million guan was just a drop in the bucket. As a last resort, Fan Zheng could only use the method of later generations. of land finance.

However, Fan Zheng did not adopt the pre-sale system of later generations. All houses were built and then sold to the people. This raised unlimited funds for Shanghai City, and at the same time allowed countless business travelers to do business and make money in Shanghai City, and also sit there. Enjoy land appreciation.

This is one of the reasons why everyone in Shanghai praises the evil doctor Fan Zheng.

Before arriving at a house, Fang La gently knocked on the door. Following a regular sound, the door soon opened. Fang La and others filed in.

In the secret room!
"Fang Fei has met the leader!"

A fat man who lived up to his name came forward. This man was Fang Fei, Fang La's military advisor and the second-largest figure in Manichaeism. Fang Fei could be said to have contributed a lot to Fang La's ability to have such a large industry.

Fang La sat in the main seat and said seriously: "Fang Fei, how is the intelligence gathering going?"

Fang Fei replied: "To the leader, the three-year period has come, but the evil doctor Fan Zheng is about to leave office. Before he leaves office, he will definitely come to Shanghai for inspection. This will be our best chance to assassinate the evil doctor Fan Zheng." an opportunity.”

"Evil doctor Fan Zheng thinks he has eliminated Manichaeism and created the glory of the city of Shanghai. He must be so proud and ecstatic. This time, I want evil doctor Fan Zheng to give him a fatal blow when he is most proud!" Fang Lasha Yi said solemnly.

Fang La felt relieved that the assassination in Shanghai City was indeed a good opportunity to assassinate the evil doctor Fan Zheng. Firstly, Shanghai City has no city walls, making it easy to escape. Secondly, Shanghai City is adjacent to the sea, making it easier to get out to the sea. In addition, Fang Baihua is at sea to support them. Everything is in their favor.

If they were in Hangzhou City and wanted to assassinate the border officials, they would not be able to succeed, but they would never be able to get out of the Hangzhou City Wall.

But this is not the case in Shanghai City. There are all three religions and nine streams here. It is easy to hide and not to notice, and even more surprising.

"Okay, then when the evil doctor Fan Zheng comes to Shanghai City, he will also send orders to the lurking brothers in the sect to provide support in various places. We will live forever under Mani's throne in the future." Fang La said solemnly.

"Yes! With Mani above, the light will last forever!"

All the Manichaeans had a look of death on their faces. It was obvious that they had been completely brainwashed. They knew that this act was very dangerous, but they still had no fear of death!

Soon, news spread that the evil doctor Fan Zheng was about to return to Beijing as his term of office was coming to an end. When he passed through Shanghai, he would meet with many celebrities in Shanghai.

This news immediately caused a sensation among the merchants.

There is clear evidence from the city of Shanghai that today's evil doctor Fan is a person who has the Midas touch in the eyes of businessmen. He can make people rich with just one word, and he can also make people fall into the abyss with just one word.

As long as you get close to such a person and reveal a little bit of information, it will be enough for them to benefit from it for a lifetime.

At this moment, a group of business travelers were moved by the news, and they did not hesitate to rely on connections and sell favors to get this opportunity to have close contact with the evil doctor Fan Zheng. Of course, among them was the merchant Fang La!

........................

Soon, amidst the expectations of business travelers, the founder of Shanghai City, the evil doctor Fan Zheng, finally arrived in Shanghai City.

"I've seen the transfer envoy before!"

Liu Daoquan, the prefect of Songjiang, came to pay homage to Fan Zheng with a respectful expression.

When Fan Zheng came to Liangzhe Road, Liu Daoquan just wanted to use the power of the evil doctor Fan Zheng and use the five million yuan in Fan Zheng's hands to increase capital for his career and take him further.

However, three years have passed, and a brand-new Shanghai city with unlimited business opportunities has emerged out of thin air. The tax revenue of just one city has exceeded that of the two Zhejiang roads. In time, Shanghai City will definitely become a city comparable to Kaifeng City. exist.

And with his achievements in Shanghai City, he jumped to the top of the imperial examination. This is almost the same as Fan Chunli's achievement in turning Bozhou into a medicine capital. He will definitely be able to rise again this time.

"How is the epidemic prevention and control of pot-belly disease in Songjiang Prefecture?" Fan Zheng asked. His original intention was still to be a doctor, and the first thing he asked about was still the epidemic situation of pot-belly disease.

Liu Daoquan said proudly: "Thank you for your efforts to transfer snails. After three years of snail eradication, no one has been infected with the disease in Songjiang Prefecture for a year now. There are only a few rivers where there are scattered snails. In another three years at most, there will be no snails." It will be completely extinct in Songjiang Mansion.”

Fan Zheng nodded. The host of schistosomiasis is snails. Once there are no snails, potbelly disease cannot spread at all, and Shanghai City will not be affected by the epidemic. "Master Liu has done a good job. After Fan leaves office, he will recommend you to the imperial court as the next transfer envoy between Zhejiang and Zhejiang!" Fan Zheng said with satisfaction.

"what!"

Liu Daoquan couldn't help but be stunned. With the help of Shanghai City, his promotion has become a foregone conclusion. He originally thought that he would be lucky to succeed the retired Tan Hong and serve as the prefect of Hangzhou, but he did not expect that Fan Zheng would recommend him as the transfer envoy between Zhejiang and Zhejiang.

"Thank you for the promotion, sir. I will never forget your kindness!" Liu Daoquan said with a solemn salute.

Fan Zheng raised his hands and said: "I recommend you not because of your contribution to the city of Shanghai, but because of your contribution to treating potbelly disease. The snail eradication project is too long and cannot be accomplished overnight. After you succeeded as the transfer envoy to Zhejiang and Zhejiang, We must completely control the epidemic of potbelly disease in the entire Liangzhe Road in the remaining three years!”

Liu Daoquan couldn't help but sigh. He did not expect that he was recommended by Fan Zheng not because of the city of Shanghai, but because of his achievements in controlling schistosomiasis.

"This official will certainly fulfill his mission!" Liu Daoquan suppressed his excitement and said solemnly.

Fan Zheng nodded slightly. He was about to leave Liangzhe Road and made reasonable arrangements for the masters around him. For example, the elderly Yuan Sheng was given a large reward by Fan Zheng, which was enough for him to spend his old age peacefully.

For example, the young and powerful Bao Kang will replace the master who built Shanghai City and officially appoint me as the magistrate of Shanghai. The original master will successfully enter the Ministry of Industry with his achievements in building Shanghai City.

The other masters either accepted Fan Zheng's arrangement and got official positions, or they refused the official positions. With their experience of assisting the evil doctor Fan Zheng in governing the two Zhejiang roads, they will definitely become famous among Shaoxing masters and will be invited by other officials in the future.

Fan Zheng didn't care about this. After all, everyone had their own ambitions, and he wouldn't force it.

"My official came to Liangzhe Road for a total of four years. One was to promote Champa rice, the other was to build Shanghai City, the third was to cure potbelly disease, and the last was to eliminate Manichaeism! Now there is only the fourth one left. It’s not all done yet!” Fan Zheng sighed.

Now in three years, Champa Rice has been promoted from Liangzhe Road to the entire Jiangnan, ensuring the rice production in Jiangnan, and the title of Suhu's rice is worthy of the name, which makes Fan Zheng's achievements in governing the two Zhejiangs even higher. .

Not to mention that the disease of potbelly has been visibly under control, and Shanghai has turned everything into gold, but only the remnants of Manichaeism are still dormant.

Liu Daoquan frowned and said: "It is said that a gentleman does not build a dangerous wall. Mr. Fan is a rich man, so why should he put himself in danger? I see that Manichaeism is no longer a thing. I will continue to suppress Manichaeism in the future, so that It no longer harms the people.”

As the prefect of Songjiang, Liu Daoquan naturally knew Fan Zheng's plan. Although he was the next transfer envoy between Zhejiang and Zhejiang to eliminate the remnants of Manichaeism, which would make it easier for him, he denied this plan. Once the evil doctor Fan was in Shanghai City If something goes wrong, let alone him, even the entire Liangzhe Road will be implicated.

Fan Zheng laughed and said: "Who said that I would put myself in danger? Although the remnants of Manichaeism are hidden, they cannot escape my eyes. He and the Buddhists have been planning on the Liangzhe Road for three years, especially the Buddhists." The family has even accepted Manichaean believers and has already roughly controlled the situation of Manichaeism.”

He came here this time not to seduce the Manichaeans to take the bait, but to close the net.

"Holy Duke Fangla! I believe we will meet soon!" Fan Zheng said with a faint look in his eyes.

Compared with Song Jiang who was willing to recruit people, Fan Zheng did not adopt the same policy of bribery. First of all, Song Jiang was a typical scholar-bureaucrat of the Song Dynasty who liked to be an official and was not willing to become a bandit.

But Fang La is different. He is a religious leader, and he is a radical Manichaeism from a foreign land. He intentionally or unintentionally favors Fang La, allowing him to make a fortune. As a result, Fang La is already extremely wealthy, but he still favors Manichaeism, and even wants to To assassinate him.

In this regard, Fan Zheng could only act cruelly to avoid future troubles.

………………

Soon, in the most prosperous Peace Hotel in Shanghai, one of the most grand banquets in Shanghai is about to begin.

"It is said that Master Fan landed on the Huangpu River and decided on the location of Shanghai City. In three years, he created the glory of Shanghai City!"

"And the Peace Hotel here was built by Master Fan. As a place to receive wealthy businessmen, it is also the center of the world's maritime trade. The price of a private room inside is equivalent to a year's salary of an ordinary person!"

“Some people can get rich overnight here, while others can lose everything overnight!”

........................

Shanghai City is the water transportation center of the world, and the Peace Hotel is the financial center and information center of Shanghai City. It has created one wealth myth after another and attracted countless people to it.

Today, the entire Peace Hotel is closed, just to receive the evil doctor Fan Zheng.

"Peace Hotel, I'm afraid there won't be peace in the Peace Hotel today!" In front of the Peace Hotel, Fang La looked at the glorious Peace Hotel and couldn't help but reveal a trace of murderous intent.

He used to be a frequent visitor to the Peace Hotel! He also got news at the Peace Hotel and made a fortune, but after today, he will never come back here again.

"Maritime merchant Fang La, this is my post!" Fang La handed over the invitation letter he spent a lot of money to obtain and handed it to the very unfamiliar attendant at the Peace Hotel.

But he didn't care. After all, he had been away for more than a year, and it was unknown whether the waiters at the Peace Hotel would change.

"Fang La!"

The attendant looked at the invitation in his hand and said with a flash of his eyes.

"Holy Duke Fangla, the transshipment envoy invites you!"

Suddenly the strange attendant made a surprising statement.

"what!"

Fang La didn't expect that his identity would be revealed. However, the evil doctor Fan Zheng came to invite him in person. Immediately, the souls of the dead came out, and he tried to escape, but found that the escape route had been cut off around him, and all the followers on the side were under control.

"Saint Pharaoh! He is a remnant of Manichaeism"

Many merchants couldn't help but were stunned, and then looked at the wealthy businessman Fang La in front of them in disbelief. Who would have thought that Fang La, a famous maritime merchant in Shanghai, was actually a remnant of Manichaeism and a holy man of Manichaeism.

Fang La is the Holy Duke after all!

Then he laughed and said, "Fang is really honored to be invited by the famous evil doctor Fan Zheng."

Immediately, Fang La surrendered and strode into the Peace Hotel.
