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

Chapter 128 Fang Yuan's Cruel Means

After the opening of the state courtyard, Fang Yuan and Du Miaoyan left.

Xiao Ai and others had mixed feelings, and officially started their teaching career.

After returning to the Governor's Mansion, Fang Yuan almost forgot the unhappiness that happened in the State Court.

He doesn't have the time to pay attention to these things now, he is staring at the bank and the guest house.

More than half of the construction of the Qianzhuang and the Guest House has been completed, and Zhang Ji was originally asked to help manage one.

But now that Zhang Ji decided to study, he couldn't find suitable staff for this important place.

"Fang Yuan, I want to hand over the tea shop to my maid, she has been with me for ten years, she can be trusted, do you think it's okay?"

Du Miaoyan followed Fang Yuan back to the Governor's Mansion.

Yesterday, she had sorted out the tea shop business of the Royal Trading Company, and the rest was just step by step.

Now the Royal Commercial Bank is not in charge of many things, only the tea shop, and the iron and steel factory is actually controlled by Fang Yuan.

The business of the tea shop is now mainly about doing business. What Du Miaoyan wants to do more is to study tea and how to treat her father Du Ruhui.

"This is up to you."

"By the way, Miao Yan, there is something I want to ask you for help."

Fang Yuan waved his hand and said.

The business of the tea shop has stabilized now.

No one dared to take action in this regard as the Royal Trading Company took action in person.

They are all researching new tea, it is estimated that more tea will appear in the near future, Fang Yuan no longer pays attention to it.

But hearing Du Miaoyan's point, Fang Yuan suddenly had a choice about the manager of the bank, Du Miaoyan is very good.

Both status and ability are enough. If the bank can be temporarily replaced by her, then no one should dare to intervene.

But there is one thing that Fang Yuan is quite concerned about, that is the historical record that Du Ruhui passed away in Zhenguan four years, now it is the third year of Zhenguan, if he passed away, Du Miaoyan might find it difficult to control the bank.

"Tell me."

Du Miaoyan looked at Fang Yuan and said.

"You know the paper money I mentioned?"

Fang Yuan pondered for a moment and asked.

He forgot whether Du Miaoyan was there when he mentioned the banknotes to Li Shimin last time.

"do not know."

Du Miaoyan shook her head and said.

She wasn't there last time, but Li Shimin and Princess Xiangcheng were there.

"That's it. Let's go inside and talk."

Fang Yuan pondered for a moment, pointed to the meeting room and said.

Soon, Fang Yuan and Du Miaoyanli entered the meeting room.

After the state officials brought in the tea, they closed the door, leaving the two alone.

"In my opinion, copper coins are too difficult to carry. They always weigh 8 catties. It is not easy to carry a little bit more."

"If I develop a banknote to replace copper coins, it will greatly promote the economy, trade and people's livelihood and so on."

Fang Yuan first explained the beginning.

"Paper money instead of copper coins?"

"Isn't that really mastering money?!"

Du Miaoyan's expression changed suddenly, and she said in amazement.

The imperial court controls the making of copper coins, so the imperial court is the richest.

If Fang Yuan made banknotes instead of copper coins, wouldn't Fang Yuan be the richest?

But this is a big problem. If you don't master it well, you may be smashed to pieces!

"Almost, but it's still under planning. The bank that's being built now will be the place where banknotes will be made in the future, but I lack a trustworthy manpower to manage it."

Fang Yuan took a deep look at Du Miaoyan, and sighed that she thought so deeply, she immediately thought of the really important thing.

"I can!"

"As long as my father is still around, no one will touch me."

"Even if my father is not here, we can find another way in a year or two!"

Du Miao said seriously.

Instantly understood the key.

She even thought that Fang Yuan is not someone who cannot be trusted.

But among the trustworthy people, except for himself, the identities of others are not very good.

For a moment, Du Miaoyan was a little happy, happy to be able to help Fang Yuan because of his status.

"Okay, with your words, the bank will be handed over to you."

"However, it is not yet the time to make banknotes. It is initially used to lend money to students who want to study."

Fang Yuan nodded in satisfaction.

"Is it still possible to lend money to merchants with inconvenient capital turnover?"

Du Miaoyan pondered for a moment and asked.

"Yes, very good!"

"Miaoyan, you are really smart, draw inferences from one instance!"

"But for lending to merchants, you need to check their credit and assets, etc., and we will discuss it later."

Fang Yuan was taken aback, then said excitedly.

Du Miaoyan is really different from the intelligence and decisiveness of ordinary women.

Not only is his martial arts superb, but his looks are at the peak, and he is so smart, which is really rare in the world.

You must know that there was no concept of a bank at this time, and the upper class despised businessmen very much. Let alone borrowing money, even talking would feel that their status was lowered.

"It's just drawing one to tell the other. It's not as exaggerated as drawing inferences from one."

Du Miaoyan covered her mouth and smiled slightly.

She thinks she is smart and has been praised countless times since she was a child, and now she accepts Fang Yuan's praise.

But my heart is sweet, it feels different from other people's compliments, it seems to be more eager for Fang Yuan's compliments.

"You can joke."

"What is Du Xiang's situation now?"

Fang Yuan laughed.

I was amused by Du Miaoyan's humor.

Immediately thinking of what Du Miaoyan said just now, she must also know that Du Ruhui's situation is not very good.

"It's very bad. It's probably due to overwork, but he doesn't want to rest."

"I found out from your tea that it helps my dad's problems, but the effect is very small. I have been researching what it really does."

Du Miaoyan sighed.

When Du Ruhui was mentioned, her heart was full of dark clouds.

The doctor has already said that the body will not be able to bear the high-intensity work like Du Ruhui.

But he didn't listen, and he didn't believe it, saying that the imperial court was going through a thousand wastes, and there was no way or time to rest.

Du Miaoyan couldn't say no to him, so she could only try her best to see if there was any good thing that could heal her. So far, she found that tea had some effect.

"Then let him drink more tea."

"By the way, have you ever sought medical treatment from Sun Simiao?"

Fang Yuan suddenly thought of a genius doctor, Sun Simiao.

This man is a true medical master, "Thousand Golden Prescriptions" has a long history, and his life expectancy is surprisingly long.

"Looked for it, but refused to come to the door."

"The rumor is that he was worried that the rich and powerful of Chang'an City would force him to stay in Chang'an City, so he has been wandering around, his whereabouts are vague."

Du Miaoyan sighed.

It wasn't just him, the Du family looking for Sun Simiao.

Qin Qiong, Cheng Yaojin and the emperor were also looking for them.

But according to folk rumors, Sun Simiao was worried about stepping into Hua Tuo's footsteps, so he refused to come to the door, and he refused to pay any money.

"That's a problem. Juzi is old. I'll ask him if he can find Sun Simiao."

Fang Yuan nodded, sighed.

No one wants to be controlled and free, let alone someone like Sun Simiao who has lived to be 90 or [-] years old.

"Thank you."

Du Miaoyan smiled and said.

At this time, there was a knock on the door outside the meeting room.

"Zhou Zun, are you free?"

It was Sigong Wang Wenshu's voice.

"I'm going back."

Du Miaoyan said very interestingly

She got up, opened the door, invited Wang Wenshu in, and left.

"Zhou Zun, it's not good. Now some scholars outside are talking about the opening ceremony of the State Court, which does not respect the rites of the sages of Confucius and Mencius, does not invite sages, and does not have a famous host with high morals. They ask you to reopen it."

Wang Wenshu said awkwardly.

He came back much later than Fang Yuan.

After the opening of the State House, he had work to do.

After getting things done later, those who had just walked out of the state court heard a few scholars talking about it.

Naturally, these scholars are not scholars in the state capital, and there are still many in the state and county who are under the family of aristocratic families or studying in elementary schools.

"If they want to say it, they can say it, and can they control their mouths?"

Fang Yuan frowned, said coldly.

People's mouths can't be controlled, especially when it involves the Liu family of Xie County.

With such a huge family, the influence and control are extraordinary.

And I also like to hear about Pei's family, so I guess I will take this opportunity to add fuel to the flames.

"The lower official is worried that it will become more and more serious, and eventually it will become an attack on you."

Wang Wenshu said worriedly.

Although he was annoyed at Liu Yongshou's delay in coming.

However, the Liu family of Xie County has a high reputation in Hedong, so a late arrival can be tolerated.

It's just that Fang Yuan didn't wait for anyone directly, so now the state court is worried about the revenge of Xiexian Liu's family.

Scholars' revenge is the most troublesome thing. You can't beat them, you can't scold them, and you may lose your reputation in the end.

"It's okay to say that the opening of the state court was inappropriate, but to attack this official, you must provide evidence, otherwise it is slander, do you understand?"

Fang Yuan got up and walked out, hehe sneered.

"But, but they are scholars."

Wang Wenshu hurriedly followed, with a distressed expression on his face.

"Scholars can't sue them for defaming the official?"

Fang Yuan sneered.

"Zhou Zun, this is not good."

Wang Wenshu said with a sneer.

Not bad, but bad.

Although the imperial court did not pay much attention to imperial examinations, it paid attention to scholars.

Scholars are the foundation of the future of the imperial court and the future humerus ministers.

No one is sure which scholar will flourish in the future, whether it is better to give some face or give some face.

If it gets stuck, if one scholar tells another scholar, more scholars will know about it, and it will even affect the officialdom.

After all, in essence, every official in the officialdom is a scholar.

For a long time, it is very irrational to offend scholars, and it can make it difficult for a person to move forward in officialdom.

"The state legislature has already opened. This is a fact, and it will not change because of anyone."

"You are Sigong, manage the teaching of the State Academy well, and strive to get a gold medal title in this year's imperial examination. The rest is not your business."

Fang Yuan said indifferently.

He ignored Wang Wenshu.

He didn't believe that a few scholars could still fall out.

Wang Wenshu looked at the direction Fang Yuan left, sighed and went back to work.

But soon, Wang Wenshu received a request for help from the state court, and he had to go to the state court.

Xiao Ai had been waiting for a long time at the gate of the state courtyard.

"Wang Sigong, there are five students who have come and threatened that the opening of our state capital is not well done, and they want us to reopen, what should we do?"

Xiao Ai said with a complicated expression.

He was embarrassed, annoyed, and a little aggrieved.

"Master Xiao, get out of this situation."

Wang Wenshu was a little speechless.

He is worried that scholars will make trouble.

But that was worried about Fang Yuan's bad reputation.

And a few students can come and drive them away.

Even if you can't catch up with martial arts, you can catch up with text.

The state court is so big, and there is not a single useful person?

This little thing is called yourself, so you don't have to do other things if you do your best?
"Liu Xingfa is also here."

Xiao Ai showed embarrassment and sighed.

"Liu Xingfa?"

Wang Wenshu had a headache.

Liu Xingfa is not a big shot.

But it is a popular candidate for this year's Liaozhou Gold List.

It is rumored that he is well-educated and has five cars, and there is no problem in the top three in this year's imperial examination.

The state court in Bingzhou kept recruiting him, but Liu Xingfa was unmoved and studied at home.

In fact, studying in Liu's Middle School in Xie County is far better than the State Academy, and teaching masters, books, etc. are not comparable to the State Academy.

"Why don't we hold another opening ceremony and invite Mrs. Liu to host it?"

Xiao Ai smiled and suggested.

"Master Xiao, I suggest you stop thinking about this kind of thinking!"

"The state court has opened, this is a fact, and it will not change because of anyone!"

"If you want to be the dean, then you can settle this matter. If you don't want me to be the dean, find someone else!"

Wang Wenshu immediately said with a straight face.

He knew that Fang Yuan's meaning was already obvious, so his attitude must also be obvious.

Fang Yuan puts pressure on him, then he puts pressure on the people below, if the people below don't do something, then replace them.

"I, I'll go, Wang Sigong calm down!"

Xiao Ai was taken aback.

But also a little excited.

The position of President of the State House is still vacant.

Although Xiao Ai has some prestige in her own right, she doesn't dare to say that she will definitely be elected as the dean.

Now being mentioned by Wang Wenshu, he felt that he was more likely, and immediately decided to go in person.

"Go."

Wang Wenshu waved his hand, turned around and left.

He believed that Xiao Ai could handle such small things.

Although Liu Xingfa has a great reputation, he is a student after all.

The state courtyard received the living room, and Xiao Ai returned.

Different from before leaving, Xiao Ai at this time became calm.

This made the worried teachers think that Fang Yuan agreed to hold a new opening ceremony.

"Liu Xingfa, please go back."

Xiao Ai looked at a young man and said.

"When is the opening day?"

Liu Xingfa smiled triumphantly, thinking he had successfully persuaded Xiao Ai and the others.

"The state court has opened, this is a fact, and it will not change because of anyone!"

"It's not a good thing for you now to meddle in officialdom if you don't study hard, please go back."

Xiao Ai said with an air of preaching.

"Master taught me the right thing, but please don't regret it, Master."

"You can only be a teacher forever, but students may be county magistrates, governors, etc."

Liu Xingfa's smile gradually stiffened, and finally became deep.

The classmates who came with him also stared at Xiao Ai with unfriendly eyes.

Seeing this, the teacher of the State Academy who was present was shocked.

"presumptuous!"

"The Liu family taught you this kind of threatening master student?!"

"Get out, or don't blame the old man for slapping your palm!!"

Xiao Ai was furious.

His eyes widened as if he wanted to swallow Liu Xingfa.

"Master, calm down, the students will leave!"

Liu Xingfa was taken aback, and the other students didn't dare to stare at Xiao Ai.

"roll!"

Xiao Ai snorted coldly.

Liu Xingfa and others left in despair.

"Master Xiao, why is this so?"

"Doesn't this make the Liu family of Xie County more hostile to us?"

The other masters were dissatisfied and quite puzzled.

The status of the Liu family in Xie County in the Hedong area is well known.

If they offended the Liu family of Jiexi County, their reputation might be ruined.

Scholars love fame, and teachers love fame even more, otherwise they will not receive students in the future.

"Everyone, I know what you are worried about."

"But this is the state court. We rely on the state's respect. If there is anything, the state's respect will take care of it for us."

Xiao Ai said calmly.

Lift Fang Yuan out directly.

At this time, only Fang Yuan can restrain them.

He can't, he is still too far behind, and he needs to establish real prestige in the state court.

"But, Master Zhou doesn't know how difficult it is for me to wait."

"Master Xiao, if the state court cannot continue, we will return to the previous situation. If we ruin our reputation, it will be equivalent to ruining everything."

There is still a wife who is worried.

Worrying around like ants.

The Liu family in Xie County is not only prestigious, but also a prominent family they admire.

In his lifetime, he also hopes to enter the Liu Family of Xie County as a teaching assistant.

But now it's all right, if you directly offend Xiexian Liu's, how can you get close to Xiexian Liu's in the future?

"Master Mo, speak carefully!"

Xiao Ai frowned and said in a low voice.

It has just opened, and the teaching has not even started on the first day, thinking that it will not be able to continue.

Such remarks, isn't it surrender before a fight?
Although Xiao Ai is also afraid of the Liu family in Xie County, if he can get the position of dean, he will not be afraid when the emperor comes.

No one is allowed to say such despondent words in front of him like this!

"I"

Mo Xingxian opened his mouth, seeing Xiao Ai's face was ugly, but in the end he didn't contradict him.

The other teachers present had different expressions, some were worried, some were afraid, some were disapproving, and so on.

"Go and start teaching."

"Everyone, it's up to us whether or not the state court can be named on the gold list this year."

Xiao Ailang said.

He glanced at the audience and left first.

He is only a teacher now, and he still needs to teach.

All the teaching teachers looked at each other in blank dismay, each of them dispersed their concerns, and officially started the first day of teaching.

The news of the inappropriate opening ceremony of Liaozhou College spread in one city and three counties as if it had grown wings.

Some well-known scholars stood up and commented that the opening ceremony of Liaozhou College did not follow the rites of the sages of Confucius and Mencius, did not invite elders of noble families to preside over it, and did not conform to the procedures for the opening of the Liaozhou College.

Academies that threaten to disrespect the rites of the sage Confucius and Mencius will not be protected by the sage Confucius and Mencius, and the students will not be blessed, and the imperial examinations will be hopeless and doomed to fail.

Later, some celebrities also stood up, suggesting that students and their parents should be cautious and not make fun of their children's future, etc.

As soon as the news came out, the students who were studying in the State Academy began to panic.

Those parents who send their sons to study in colleges also feel uneasy because of this.

In this era of lack of knowledge, scholars are respected, and what scholars say is given priority to be considered reasonable.

After one scholar after another said that the state college was not good, the people of Liaozhou began to think that the state college was not good, and this group of students would not be good this year.

In the past few days, some parents even went to the state court to express their desire to drop out of school.

Xiao Ai had no choice but to report this matter to Wang Wenshu as a last resort.

Wang Wenshu couldn't make the decision, so he had to report it to Fang Yuan.

"It's only been a few days, and some parents have asked to drop out of school?!"

Fang Yuan has been studying the matter of the bank these days.

Banknote design, commercial lending model, interest calculation, etc., are very busy.

Hearing that Wang Wenshu came to report to the state court again, his mood was no longer beautiful.

"The outside world is saying that the opening of the Zhouyuan does not conform to the etiquette of the sages of Confucius and Mencius"

Wang Wenshu reported the truth and did not dare to hide anything.

"Did anyone slander me?"

Fang Yuan frowned, sneered.

"No."

Wang Wenshu shook his head again and again.

After Xiao Ai reported it, he did not report it immediately, but did so after investigating.

Now one city and three counties are discussing the issue of the improper opening of the State Academy, but they didn't slander Fang Yuan, they just said that the students could not get the protection of the sages of Confucius and Mencius.

"No?!"

Fang Yuan was a little surprised.

To make such a big commotion, it must be the Liu family of Xie County who secretly took the lead.

The Liu family of Xie County made a move, and I heard that the Pei family would definitely cooperate, but in such a situation, they didn't hurt themselves?

"Yes, really not."

Wang Wenshu said firmly.

"Then you invite some people to slander this official, the bigger the trouble, the better."

"Let's just say that I have never read a book, I don't know a lot of characters, I want to open the state court, I regard the imperial examinations of Liaozhou students as child's play, etc."

Fang Yuan pondered for a moment, said coldly.

"what?"

"Why?"

Wang Wenshu was immediately puzzled.

It's rare that there are no scholars who slander, but they even take the initiative to recruit black?
To be honest, Wang Wenshu himself was quite afraid, worried that those scholars would secretly slander him.

If he is successfully slandered by scholars, it will be as difficult as reaching the sky if he wants to be promoted in the future.

"Wang Sihu, if you want to be promoted to county magistrate, it's not enough to work hard, you have to think hard."

"Just do it according to the official's wishes. The louder the noise, the better, but you can't be found out that you invited the person."

Fang Yuan lowered his voice and said in a deep voice.

Although his position is vast, there are state officials guarding him not far away.

But the design is so good that unless you say it loudly on purpose, the guarding state officials cannot hear it.

"Subordinate to obey!"

Wang Wenshu still didn't want to understand Fang Yuan's point.

But Fang Yuan mentioned the county magistrate again, which made him very excited.

Fang Yuan has not forgotten the promise to himself, so it means that he really wants to support himself to become the county magistrate.

For such a great kindness, Wang Wenshu wished he could stick to Fang Yuan's side [-]/[-] and help Fang Yuan do anything at any time.

"Go."

Fang Yuan waved his hand and said.

"Yes."

Wang Wenshu left with excitement.

Soon, there were some explosive news in the news criticizing the opening ceremony of the state court and advising students and parents to be cautious.

"Fang Inspector Fang has never read a book at all, and he doesn't understand the rites of Confucius and Mencius."

"A person who doesn't know a single word wants to open an academy, so why doesn't he piss to take care of himself?"

"It's no wonder. After all, he was born as a refugee, and he has no ink in his stomach. I think he has a lot of inside story about becoming the governor."

The wind changed quickly.

All kinds of negative news about Fang Yuan are spread throughout Liaozhou.

The common people were all shocked and felt that it was impossible, some even suspected that some scholars deliberately slandered Fang Yuan.

Now, Fang Yuan already has a lot of prestige in Liaozhou, and has won the support of many people, they doubt what these students said.

The branch of the Liu family in Jiexian County in Liaozhou City.

Liu Yongshou gathered together with several celebrities, Liu Xingfa and others.

"Didn't I specifically tell you not to slander Fang Yuan?"

Liu Yongshou's face was sullen, and his dissatisfied eyes swept across the audience.

"Grand Liu, I didn't wait."

"I don't know if something went wrong halfway."

Several celebrities responded with their heads bowed.

"Let them pay attention, only criticize the state council, not discredit Fang Yuan."

Liu Yongshou said in a deep voice.

Those voices outside knew it was slander.

Fang Yuan was able to sit on the position of governor, there are some inside stories, but it has nothing to do with whether he has read the book or not.

"Yes."

Mingsu and others responded one after another.

Liu Yongshou nodded in satisfaction, but soon frowned.

He heard a loud commotion not far away, and someone broke in.

"Zheng Jiu met Liu Gong!"

Zheng Jiu came with several state officials.

"What's the matter, Captain Zheng?"

Liu Yongshou said calmly with a calm face.

"Liu Xingfa is suspected of slandering Zhou Zun, and I'm here to lead someone."

Zheng Jiu pointed at Liu Xingfa and said respectfully.

"Impossible, Xingfa never slandered the governor Fang."

Liu Yongshou frowned slightly, and said in a deep voice.

He immediately showed anger, and his eyes were terrifying.

"I do not have!"

Liu Xingfa also said angrily.

The celebrities present also showed anger.

The arrest even came to the Liu family in Xie County to arrest people.

"If there is, please follow me back to investigate."

Zheng Jiu didn't change his face, and still said respectfully.

"Please go back, Xingfa did not slander the governor Fang."

Liu Yongshou snorted coldly.

The attitude is quite firm.

Liu Xingfa sneered, with mockery in his eyes.

"Someone testified that it was Liu Xingfa who slandered Zhou Zun."

"If Liu Xingfa refuses to cooperate with the investigation, the state government will deprive Liu Xingfa of his imperial examination qualification!"

Zheng Jiu said calmly.

After the words fell, Liu Yongshou and the others suddenly changed their expressions.

For students studying hard in the cold window, deprivation of exam qualifications is the cruelest.

　It's a bit miserable, but the daily update is more than 1.2w words, but it can't be on the combat power list. The reason is that the 48-hour follow-up order is not up to the standard. I feel that the effort is a bit wasted, or the update is too fast, alas
　　Ask for full order, ask for follow-up order, ask for support!
