Five years of county magistrate, 100 million catties of grain shocked Li Shimin

Chapter 120 The Three Years of Zhenguan's New Life
"puff!"

The main mouth of Shouchun County sprays tea.

The man stood up from the stool and bowed forward so that the tea would not wet his clothes.

Because her body was facing Fang Yuan, the clothes below her neck were downward due to gravity, showing to Fang Yuan.

"You are Fang Yuan?!"

County Lord Shouchun pointed at Fang Yuan and said in surprise.

He didn't even notice that he had disappeared in front of Fang Yuan.

Yang Shidao and Yang Yuzhi also didn't notice, and they were also shocked by the news.

I and the others were asking Fang Yuan if he missed anything, but they didn't expect that the person who asked was Fang Yuan.

This oolong is enough to embarrass them for half their lives.

"Exactly."

Fang Yuan nodded solemnly.

His eyes were on Shouchun County Lord, and he admired it generously.

Sure enough, there's no way a royal woman is malnourished.

"you!"

The Lord Shouchun didn't know what to say.

No longer facing Fang Yuan, but looking at Yang Shidao, he also stood up straight.

"I didn't expect you to be Fang Yuan, I really didn't expect this old man."

Yang Shidao sighed.

After a brief surprise, he regained his look.

He had some doubts just now, but now that it is confirmed, he is no longer surprised.

"Made Yang laugh."

"I have no intention of hiding my identity."

Fang Yuan stood up, bowed his hands to Yang Shidao.

He didn't think about hiding his identity, it's just that the other party didn't ask.

"It made Governor Fang laugh."

"The question I asked just now was not aimed at Governor Fang, but just out of curiosity. Please sit down."

Yang Shidao waved his hand and said calmly.

"Thank you, Mr. Yang."

"But if nothing happens, we brothers and sisters will leave first."

Fang Yuan didn't sit down.

Whether it is targeted or not, let time tell.

At least from the point of view of the Yang family's snatching of Wuling County, the two parties are definitely not friends.

Of course, Fang Yuan didn't feel that Wuling County was his own just because he was the magistrate of Wuling County.

It was because the Yang family took control of Wuling County from Zhao Yingcai, and that was the real problem.

"Yuzhi, send one to Governor Fang."

Yang Shidao didn't persuade him to stay, but said calmly.

"Please, Inspector Fang."

Yang Yuzhi got up and made a gesture of invitation.

"Thank you, goodbye!"

Fang Yuan bowed his hands to Yang Shidao and Shouchun County Lord, turned and left.

Yang Shidao still nodded slightly, but Shouchun county lord stared at Fang Yuan with an ugly face.

Just now she proudly said that Fang Yuan couldn't drink premium tea, but she didn't expect to slap her face so quickly.

She knew that it was Fang Yuan who actually released the tea, not Du Miaoyan, Du Miaoyan was just managing.

Therefore, saying in front of Fang Yuan that Fang Yuan can't drink premium tea made her feel ashamed, and now her face is burning hot.

At the gate of the Yang Mansion.

Fang Yuan thanked Yang Yuzhi for seeing him off, and left.

Yang Yuzhi looked at Fang Yuan's back for a long time before going back.

"Brother Yuan, let's go shopping."

Zhao Zixuan said suddenly.

Seeing people coming and going on the street, she was ready to move.

"Don't think about it, go back quickly."

"Uncle Zhao may already know that we have come to Yang's house, so he must be worried."

Fang Yuan shook his head and said.

"Oh fine."

Zhao Zixuan shrank her head and said.

There was almost a big incident today, and now I think about it, I'm a little scared.

Who would have thought that the mother of the boy who usually bullied him was the Lord of Shouchun County.

I haven't heard what my mother said before, and I haven't seen them before.

In fact, Yang Shidao and others did not live in Langzhou for a long time, but just happened to be here during this time.

Then it happened that Yang Shidao fell in love with Wuling County, so he took advantage of his status as the servant of the Ministry of Officials to seize it.

Therefore, it is normal for Zhao Zixuan not to know them adults.

Soon, Fang Yuan and the others returned to the Zhao residence.

After the noon break, Zhao Yingcai's drunkenness had dissipated, but he was not in the living room.

"Where did you guys go?"

Yang Xiulan's face was a little flushed, she stepped forward and asked.

She got up just now, searched all over the Zhao Mansion but couldn't find Fang Yuan and the others.

"No, I took Brother Yuan out for a walk."

Zhao Zixuan breathed a sigh of relief, secretly sighing that she probably didn't find out.

"Fang Yuan, your Uncle Zhao is looking for you, in the study."

Yang Xiulan didn't continue to ask, looked at Fang Yuan and smiled.

"Okay, thank you Aunt Zhao."

Fang Yuan nodded.

Let Hong Xu and Qing Yan stay behind.

In the study room, Zhao Yingcai is practicing calligraphy, immersed in the sage time.

Fang Yuan didn't bother, watching Zhao Yingcai's practice study from the side, nodding in admiration from time to time.

It's hard to imagine that someone as rough-looking as Zhao Yingcai could still concentrate on practicing calligraphy.

From Zhao Yingcai, Fang Yuan has the deepest feeling: a person cannot be judged by his appearance, and sea water cannot be measured.

A quarter of an hour later, Zhao Ying slowly finished writing, and a pair of sonorous and powerful regular script appeared in front of Fang Yuan's eyes.

"Zhao Shu's strength penetrates the back of the paper, and the words between the lines reveal majestic, powerful, powerful!"

Fang Yuan said flatteringly.

"You kid is flattering me again, come sit here."

Zhao Yingcai glared at Fang Yuan, but laughed.

Although he knew that Fang Yuan was praising on purpose, but he also benefited from it in his heart, he was very satisfied with his calligraphy.

Beside the coffee table, there are briquettes sent by Fang Yuan burning, the kettle is burning on it, the water has been boiling for a long time.

"Uncle Zhao, don't boil the water for too long, it will be bad for your health if you drink it."

Fang Yuan took out the kettle and started to make tea, and instructed.

"Is it another fallacy developed by your Mohist Research Institute?"

Zhao Yingcai rolled his eyes and said.

In these years, he heard a lot of strange fallacies from Fang Yuan.

For example, washing hands before eating can reduce the chance of getting sick.

For example, taking a walk for a stick of incense after a meal is good for your health.

For example, don't read in dim light to avoid eye damage.

"Just take it as it is."

Fang Yuan smiled and said.

These are all his little common sense before time travel.

Paying more attention to it can reduce illness and benefit your health.

The ancients paid little attention to these, and they had no concept in this regard, which also made the life expectancy of the ancients generally very low.

"Okay, I'll pay attention next time."

Zhao Yingcai said with a smile.

Fang Yuan won't lie to him, that's for sure.

Therefore, he readily accepts Fang Yuan's big and small opinions.

Soon, two cups of tea appeared, and the smell might be a little bit better than the Shouchun County Lord's just now.

"Did you go to Yang's house just now?"

Zhao Yingcai suddenly said seriously.

"Yes."

"I was trying to get Xuan'er back, but I didn't expect to meet Yang Shidao and Shouchun County Lord."

Fang Yuan answered truthfully.

It was not surprising for Zhao Yingcai to know about this.

Zhao Yingcai has been the governor of Langzhou for two and a half years, so he should have a deep control over Langzhou.

After Zhao Yingcai recommended the position of Wuling County to Fang Yuan, he transferred a large county to be the county magistrate, and after three years he was promoted to governor of Langzhou.

"That girl Xuan'er is fighting for us, so don't meddle in this kind of thing from now on."

Zhao Yingcai understood as soon as he heard it, and shook his head.

He didn't know if Fang Yuan and Yang Shidao had a conversation, he didn't ask.

Because he didn't tell Fang Yuan that Wuling County was taken by Yang Shidao, he thought Fang Yuan didn't know, and didn't want Fang Yuan to be involved.

"Uncle Zhao really doesn't intend to take a concubine?"

Fang Yuan pondered for a moment, said in a deep voice.

The fact that Zhao Yingcai has no son has been ridiculed by many people.

Whether it is a political enemy, a friend or a family, they are all quite dissatisfied with this matter.

In this era, no son will be despised, which is much more serious than later generations.

"No, your aunt treated me very well, and I am also very well now."

Zhao Yingcai shook his head and said firmly.

"okay."

Fang Yuan didn't persuade anymore.

People always have their own persistence, and this may be Zhao Yingcai's persistence.

With him here, someone will carry Zhao Yingcai's coffin in a hundred years.

"I heard that the imperial court should pay more attention to the imperial examination, and require all localities to at least notify the township. Have you heard?"

Zhao Yingcai returned to business.

Every year when Fang Yuan came over, he would talk about political affairs with Fang Yuan.

In the beginning, he pointed Fang Yuan and taught him how to be an official.

Later, Fang Yuan learned more, and the two became discussing and analyzing current affairs with each other.

"I just received the news before I set off, and I will carry it out when I go back."

Fang Yuan nodded.

Before he left Liaozhou, he had received news from the court.

The imperial court asked the governors in various places to be responsible for this matter, and arranged for the related counties to notify it.

It must be ensured that the people in all townships know that the imperial court is promoting the imperial examination, and it is also recommended that the states pay for the travel expenses of the students to the capital.

However, the imperial court here only suggested that the state governments should pay in advance for the travel expenses, but did not say that the imperial court would reimburse them in the future, meaning that each state should settle it by itself.

"The implementation of the imperial examination will undoubtedly harm the interests of the various families."

"The emperor is so talented, he shouldn't be unable to understand this, what do you think?"

Zhao Yingcai said in a deep voice.

He recently considered how to promote the imperial examination?
Is it just perfunctory, or do things in accordance with the requirements of the court?

The former is good to everyone, and the emperor can't see as far as Langzhou, but the latter will make many aristocratic families hostile.

Langzhou is located in the south, and there are far fewer families than in the north, but there are also many branches of the family, for example, the Yang family that Fang Yuan just went to is one of the Hongnong Yang family branches.

In fact, Zhao Yingcai also came from a family, but due to various reasons, he did not get the support of the family, and almost obtained his current status by himself.

"Uncle Zhao should know that the court is going to start a war against the Eastern Turks, right?"

"The imperial court will surely win this battle, and the emperor will carry out the imperial examination with the momentum of victory. It is unstoppable. We can just listen to the imperial court."

Fang Yuan said in a deep voice.

It is more difficult to implement imperial examinations.

But after destroying the Eastern Turks, Li Shimin's reputation will be unprecedentedly strong.

At that time, no one can stop his will, and the implementation of the imperial examination is imperative. In the end, it depends on whether the local government cooperates.

"This battle must be won?!"

Zhao Yingcai said in surprise.

Curious about the confidence of the source.

The Eastern Turks were very powerful, and almost wiped out the Tang Dynasty in the ninth year of Wude.

It's only been three years in Zhenguan, and it's only been three years. Does Datang have the strength to win?
"Yes, we must win!"

Fang Yuan nodded solemnly.

History will not be wrong in its records of such major events.

Although the details are unknown, Fang Yuan knows that Tang will win this battle.

Li Shimin must have also thought of using the power of destroying the East Turks to implement the imperial examination system.

"In that case, then I will carry it out!"

Zhao Yingcai believed in Fang Yuan's confidence, said in a deep voice.

"I got the news that the head of the march for this battle should be Li Jing."

"If Uncle Zhao knows him, or has friends who know him, you can get closer."

Fang Yuan said in a deep voice.

Now Li Jing's reputation is not very big.

Because of the incident of Xuanwumen's change, he was treated coldly.

But after this battle, Li Jing will win the title of military god and become No.1 in the army.

"Military Minister Li Jing. I know!"

Zhao Yingcai murmured and said in a deep voice.

In officialdom, there is no such thing as walking on a single-plank bridge.

Only when the relationship is wide and the interests are large, can we go further and higher with each other.

It was Zhao Yingcai's understanding of this that made him sit on the position of governor even without the help of his family.

The two chatted a lot, analyzed a lot of current problems, and guessed about the future development.

Although Fang Yuan is a time traveler, he is just an ordinary person, he has limited understanding of the history of the Tang Dynasty, and gained a lot of experience in talking with Zhao Yingcai.

"By the way, you are in the limelight now, and many aristocratic families are unhappy with you. It is best to keep a low profile after you go back, and focus on development in the next two or three years, and settle down."

Zhao Yingcai said suddenly.

From his network, he learned that many aristocratic families were unhappy with Fang Yuan.

A person who was born as a refugee, not to mention the position of governor, actually wiped out several aristocratic families in a row, and some of them were branches with extraordinary origins.

Most of the aristocratic families fight with each other on the surface, but they also have various relationships, various marriages, etc., and the relationships are intricate.

Therefore, for Fang Yuan's behavior, some families among them were affected, so if some families made a sound, it would make Fang Yuan feel uncomfortable.

"I also want to develop well, but they don't allow it."

Fang Yuan sighed.

Why didn't he want to seriously engage in development?

But some aristocratic families just stretched out their necks and asked him to chop, Fang Yuan was helpless.

"You came from a humble background, which caused many families to look down on you, and they didn't allow you to stand on top of them."

"You are also 25 this year. I will find you a better marriage and solve this problem. It will be better."

Zhao Yingcai said in a deep voice.

Born in a family, he knows the family's prejudice against the lower class.

Many aristocratic families couldn't bear the fact that Fang Yuan, who was born as a refugee, stepped on them.

So when he was in Wuling County or Liaozhou, he was targeted by major families.

"No need."

"I think it's fine now."

Fang Yuan waved his hand and said.

I am only 25 this year, young and free.

There are Hongxu and Qingyi serving at home, and Lu Chuchu is taking care of her outside.

I don't want to say whether people are in charge of getting married now, but I guess I can't marry a good girl because of my background.

"Don't worry about it!"

"I'll find you a good family background, and I won't let you come!"

Zhao Yingcai said with a straight face.

He made a decision on this matter, Fang Yuan could not refuse again.

Last year was the same, as Fang Yuan talked, another year passed.

Taking advantage of becoming the governor this year, there should be some aristocratic families who don't care about Fang Yuan's background.

After all, only 25 is the governor, and there are not many people in the direct line of the big family.

"Okay, but I have to see it."

Fang Yuan sighed.

But also warm in my heart.

"Well, then it's decided."

"By the way, when are you going to go back?"

Zhao Yingcai nodded in satisfaction and smiled lightly.

"Noon tomorrow."

Fang Yuan thought for a while.

Time is too tight this time, there is no way.

I originally wanted to stay for two or three days, but time did not allow it.

"A little rush me to ask your Aunt Zhao to prepare something for you to take back."

Zhao Yingcai murmured, a little disappointed.

But in the officialdom, there are some things you can't do by yourself.

It will be Shangyuan Festival soon, let's see if there is time to see you again.

"Okay, thank you Uncle Zhao."

Fang Yuan giggled.

Not long after, the two ended their conversation, drinking tea and blowing water.

In the evening, Zhao Zixuan took Fang Yuan to chat for a long time before putting him back to sleep.

This night, Fang Yuan slept soundly in Zhao Mansion.

At noon the next day, Zhang San and Lu Xia arrived, and everyone set off.

A few days later, Fang Yuan and the others returned to Liaozhou City to start a new life in Zhenguan for three years.
