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

Chapter 140 Damn it, I got tricked
The search continued until almost dawn.

As Fang Yuan said, he found him before dawn.

Xiao Rui who was found was still in a coma.

"Fang Inspector, why is Young Master Xiao injured?"

Cui Yuanting, governor of Bingzhou, walked out and questioned him.

Many people also looked at Fang Yuan in doubt, but chose not to make a sound.

Now Xiao Rui was lying down with a pale face, dressed as before.

Because blood seeped out of the lower body and wet the clothes, the injury could be clearly seen.

"Pei Xiang, the person must have been injured at your place, right?"

Fang Yuan glanced at Cui Yuanting, then said to Pei Ji.

Cui Yuanting walked out in such a hurry, he must be an uneasy and kind person.

At this time, as long as you take the initiative to stand up and speak, you will be against yourself.

So Fang Yuan didn't give him face, he didn't answer him, and directly connected with Pei Ji.

"Inspector Fang is very efficient."

Pei Ji didn't answer.

But no answer means yes.

Cui Yuanting's face froze, he took a deep look at Fang Yuan and retreated.

"May I ask Mr. Pei, what's the matter with Mr. Xiao?"

"I would like to establish a case to thoroughly investigate how Young Master Xiao was injured."

Fang Yuan forced to ask.

I want to take this opportunity to severely suppress Xiwen Pei.

"No need, the royal family will take care of it."

Pei Ji waved his hand and said calmly.

At this time, Princess Xiangcheng came here.

"Thank you, Governor Fang, thank you all!"

"Come here, take Young Master Xiao back and ask the doctor to take care of you."

Princess Xiangcheng saluted to everyone present to express her gratitude.

But as Pei Ji said, the royal family will be responsible for this matter.

In fact, only the royal family is responsible for this matter, so that the big things can be turned into small ones.

Otherwise, it would be difficult to recover from the serious injury of the Duke's son in Liaozhou.

"Pei Xiang, go back and rest now, or continue to inspect Liaozhou?"

Princess Xiangcheng asked.

According to normal circumstances, they will stay in Liaozhou for three days.

After the three-day inspection time has passed, they will go to other places for inspection.

This time, Pei Ji selected four places as inspection places for retirement, and he was shocked after the inspection.

Today is the second day, and there is one day left tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow I have to leave early to go to the next inspection site, and the time is very urgent.

Everyone looked at Pei Ji, waiting for Pei Ji's decision.

However, the eyes of everyone at the scene were not very good, with dark circles under their eyes.

They barely slept last night, helping to find Xiao Rui, they are very tired now.

If possible, everyone still hopes to rest for a while before continuing to accompany them.

"No rest, no inspection, let's go back to Beijing first."

Pei Ji pondered for a moment, then said calmly.

"Back to Beijing?!"

Princess Xiangcheng exclaimed.

The others also looked at Pei Ji in surprise.

Even Fang Yuan felt quite surprised.

For a moment, Fang Yuan felt that something was wrong.

I have only been in Liaozhou for a day, and I didn't say anything after the investigation, and I was thrown off by myself.

With Pei Ji's status, how could he return to Beijing so easily?
"Young Master Xiao is injured, so he must be sent back to Chang'an City as soon as possible."

Pei Ji said with a sad face.

"Pei Xiang, this trip is far away, returning to Beijing will hurt Xiao Rui's body too much."

Princess Xiangcheng said in a deep voice.

She didn't dare to return to Beijing at this time.

Worried that Song Guogong Xiao Yu would know that he had hurt his son.

And he hasn't communicated well with Xiao Rui yet, Xiao Rui will definitely be angry because of what happened last night.

You must reach some kind of agreement with Xiao Rui before you can return to Beijing, otherwise it will be bad for you.

"Princess, don't worry, the truth will invite the doctor to accompany you."

Pei Ji shook his head, expressing that there is no need to worry.

"Pei Xiang, even a doctor can't avoid the bumpy road."

Princess Xiangcheng said in a deep voice.

"Princess, don't worry, Mr. Xiao is not seriously injured, you can hurry."

"Presumably Song Guogong is also very worried about his son's situation, we have to send him back as soon as possible."

Pei Ji said firmly.

"Then, then listen to Prime Minister Pei."

Princess Xiangcheng opened her mouth and noticed that the governors around her were all looking at her, so it was hard to refuse.

Pei Ji said that he was very concerned, someone might have passed on the news of Xiao Rui's injury to Xiao Yu, and she had to bring him back.

I made a mistake and didn't think too much about it. Going back this time may be more or less auspicious.

But fortunately, I changed my destiny, so I probably won't marry that short-lived ghost Xiao Rui again.

"In the past two days, everyone has worked hard to accompany me, and I am grateful for the truth."

"Go back and have a rest, then go back to your own state capital, Zhenxiang and the princess don't need you to see them off."

Pei Ji saluted the governor and governor present.

All the governors and governors hurriedly returned their salutes, expressing their daring.

"Princess, let's go back and prepare."

Pei Ji nodded, looked at Princess Xiangcheng and said.

"I want to say goodbye to Du Miaoyan. Prime Minister Pei, please let someone prepare. I'll see you in an hour."

Princess Xiangcheng shook her head and rejected Pei Ji's idea.

She didn't give Pei Ji time to refute, she turned and left after she finished speaking.

When turning around, she gave Fang Yuan a look.

"Congratulations to the princess!"

Seeing this, Pei Ji did not dissuade him.

Seeing this, the governor and the governor present also bowed to Princess Xiangcheng.

"Fang Cishi, take good care of your body, I still want to see you that day."

Pei Ji looked at Fang Yuan, and said with a half-smile.

After the words fell, everyone's expression changed, secretly sighing that Pei Ji remembered Fang Yuan.

From now on, Pei Ji and Pei's and other forces will probably regard Fang Yuan as a thorn in their side.

It's a pity that Prime Minister Pei will retire soon, and the most important figure is missing among the forces targeting Fang Yuan.

"Thank you Pei for your concern."

"But the officials are young and healthy, Prime Minister Pei really wants to take care of his health."

Fang Yuan smiled back.

Pei Ji was not angry, he just smiled and turned to leave.

Everyone looked at Fang Yuan with different expressions and went back to the guest house to catch up on sleep.

A few bid farewell to Fang Yuan, Fang Yuan gave them a quick salute and left.

Royal Firm.

Princess Xiangcheng and Du Miaoyan have been waiting for a long time.

"I suspect that Prime Minister Pei already knows it's me."

When Princess Xiangcheng saw Fang Yuan, she immediately spoke.

Her face was not good-looking, and she was a little worried, worried about the consequences.

"I also have some guesses, otherwise he wouldn't be in such a hurry to return to Beijing."

Fang Yuan frowned, said in a deep voice.

Now even the princess of Xiangcheng has the same idea, so it is almost the same.

"Is it possible, is it possible that an assassin appeared halfway and killed Xiao Rui?"

Princess Xiangcheng said with a gloomy face and a low tone.

"Wanxiu, Xiao Rui are playmates who grew up together!"

Du Miaoyan spoke out immediately, almost in a cursed tone.

As for Princess Xiangcheng deliberately making Xiao Rui a eunuch, she already regretted not stopping it.

Would it be too cruel for Xiao Rui to take Xiao Rui's life again?
Xiao Rui was not at fault in this matter, no wonder he.

"I, I was just joking."

Princess Xiangcheng opened her mouth, but faced Du Miaoyan's eyes, she said dejectedly.

"On the way back, it should take two or three days."

"During this period of time, Xiao Rui will definitely wake up. If you discuss it with him patiently, you will definitely be able to turn the big thing into a small one."

Du Miaoyan sighed in her heart and said softly.

"I will."

"If something happens to me, I'll fix the books for you, remember to save me!"

Princess Xiangcheng nodded, her expression slowly returned to normal.

She is a woman full of fighting spirit, and she will not lose her fighting spirit because of a little setback.

At the same time, she is also a person who is good at hiding herself. It is difficult for outsiders to really understand what her real thoughts are.

"Don't worry, I will rush back as soon as possible."

Du Miaoyan solemnly promised.

"Fang Yuan, and you, do you know?"

Princess Xiangcheng stared at Fang Yuan and said.

"I try my best!"

Fang Yuan smiled wryly.

His identity prevents him from walking around casually.

"Well, I'm going back, no need to send it."

Princess Xiangcheng nodded heavily, got up and left.

Fang Yuan chatted with Du Miaoyan for a few words, and parted ways one after another.

The Royal Trading Company is close to the Governor's Mansion, so Fang Yuan went directly back to the Governor's Mansion.

After an all-night search last night, today's state officials are a little listless.

As soon as Fang Yuan sat down, the governor of the gate guard came to report, saying that it was the governor of Luzhou who asked to see him.

"Please!"

Fang Yuan was taken aback for a moment, then got up to greet him.

Soon, Fang Yuan saw Luzhou Inspector Huang Junhan at the door.

"Inspector Fang, excuse me."

Huang Junhan's back was a little bent, he cupped his hands to Fang Yuan, and said with a light smile.

"Guoguo Kilometers, please."

Fang Yuan warmly greeted him.

Luzhou is next door to Liaozhou, so Fang Yuan often inquired about Huang Junhan.

This is an old man who is nearly 50 years old. When he was young, he was brave and good at fighting. He made great achievements.

In the past few years, because of poor health, the imperial court entrusted him with scruples about his kindness and appointed him the governor of Luzhou.

Luzhou is the third largest prefecture in Hedong Road, governing ten counties.

Soon, Fang Yuan and Huang Junhan sat down at the tea table.

"I don't know if Duke Guo came here in person. What's the matter?"

Fang Yuan poured tea for Huang Junhan and asked politely.

"Inspector Fang, how to build the cement road?"

Huang Junhan said bluntly.

"If it's someone else, it will cost 35 runs per mile."

"But when the Duke of Guo Guo came in person, one mile and thirty guan were enough."

Fang Yuan said politely.

In fact, the construction of cement roads in the three counties of Liaozhou is also one mile and thirty runs.

But externally and internally, there are naturally some differences, after all, there are differences between internally and externally.

"One mile and thirty guan is really not cheap. Is there any other expenses?"

Huang Junhan murmured, asking while drinking tea.

"There is also a need to feed the workers."

"The rest will be fully covered by the cement plant."

Fang Yuan said cheerfully.

The distance between each state is very long.

If the cement factory also provided food, it would be a huge expense.

"Do you have any requirements for food?"

Huang Junhan nodded slightly and continued to ask.

"There is no requirement, but I hope there will be some oil and water, so that the workers can work hard."

Fang Yuan smiled lightly.

"Prefect Fang really thinks about the common people."

"I heard of your name when I was in Luzhou."

Huang Junhan looked at Fang Yuan, hehe laughed.

"Let Guo Guogong laugh at you."

Fang Yuan was taken aback for a moment, then he felt a little embarrassed and said.

Yushe County in Liaozhou is very close to Wuxiang County in Luzhou, and it is not far from Liaozhou City.

I heard that some people from Wuxiang County went shopping in the commercial street in the north of the city recently, but Fang Yuan didn't pay too much attention.

It's just that he didn't expect that Huang Junhan had heard of him, so he was a little ashamed and proud at the same time.

This can be regarded as playing out his own reputation.

"Hahaha, I didn't expect Fang Shishi to be shy."

Huang Junhan laughed loudly.

Fang Yuan smiled without saying a word, took a sip of tea, and poured tea for Huang Junhan by the way.

"Inspector Fang, I want to build a road, what information do I need to provide you?"

Huang Junhan put away his smile and said seriously.

He came this time because he was looking at Liaozhou Cement Road.

Before he came to Liaozhou, he had heard of cement roads.

After arriving, watching Fang Yuan take charge of Liaozhou for only half a year has changed Liaozhou greatly, which made his heart move.

Although one mile and thirty guan is expensive, it is not without the money. You can try to build a road, or it can bring more wealth.

"A deposit of [-] to [-] percent, and the construction will start after the money arrives."

"Second, the map, if there is no map, there is a place where people can cooperate to build it."

"Third, ensure that there are no disputes with the local people during the road construction process, and you will be responsible for any disputes that affect the project."

"Fourth, sign a detailed contract. There will be clear regulations on it. Everything will be done in accordance with the contract. If there is any change, the price and construction period will be renegotiated."

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

The construction of the cement road does not need to be so troublesome, Fang Yuan does not need to worry about them making trouble.

But externally, it is different. A strict contract model is required, so as not to cause unnecessary problems in the future.

It's just that Fang Yuan thought about selling the cement road before, but he hasn't thought about the specific contract yet, so he has to study it later.

"It's quite complicated. I'll ask Chang Shi to talk to you later."

Huang Junhan listened carefully, and finally smiled lightly.

Hearing that the contract was signed, he also felt at ease and was not afraid of problems in the process.

Everything is done according to the contract, which is what everyone wants to see, and there is a little more sincerity between each other.

"Thank you Guo Guogong for your support."

"I'll also ask the cement factory to directly connect with your long history."

Fang Yuan nodded solemnly.

"Is that toilet for sale?"

"When people get old, they feel more comfortable sitting."

Huang Junhan was a little embarrassed and said in a low voice.

"Yes, but you have to come to install it yourself."

"If Guo Guogong has other needs, you can ask someone to send a letter. Is it sold? How to sell it? I will get someone to reply to you."

Fang Yuan smiled and said.

He suddenly realized that some people might be embarrassed to order.

Or because he was worried about Pei Ji's influence, even if he wanted to cooperate with him, he was too embarrassed to come to the door and eventually left.

And the reason why Huang Junhan dared to come was because he was the lord of the country, and he was different from Pei Ji in terms of official position, so he didn't need to show off Pei Ji's face.

Thinking of this, Fang Yuan felt that it was necessary to wait for people to go to the guest house to promote it, to let them know that they don't need to come to the door, as long as they send someone to send the list of needs in private.

"Fang Inspector Shi is wise."

"Then I won't bother you, and I'll send back what I need."

Huang Junhan nodded in satisfaction, got up and prepared to leave.

Fang Yuan got up to see them off, and stopped at the gate of the Governor's Mansion.

After watching Huang Junhan leave, Fang Yuan called Zhang San over.

After Zhang San understood what Fang Yuan meant, he ordered someone to bring the words to Lu Xia.

Soon, Lu Xia let the governor and governors who were still in the guest house know what Fang Yuan meant.

In this way, an hour passed.

Princess Xiangcheng, Pei Ji and others left and returned to Chang'an City.

After they left, the governor and governors of the guest house left one after another.

Except for Li Ji and Zhang Gongjin who came to say goodbye to Fang Yuan, the others left directly.

"Fang Yuan, I will come to play with you after a while!"

Li Danqiu bid farewell to Fang Yuan with sparkling eyes.

She was thinking about Fang Yuan's nine-storey star observatory, and wanted to see what happened.

Soon, all the state governors left.

Fang Yuan received thirteen letters he wanted.

The governors of thirteen states wanted cement roads and other things, and made a list of what they needed.

Of the [-] prefectures in Hedong Road, thirteen prefectures cooperated with Fang Yuan, which surprised Fang Yuan.

It can be said that after this time, Liaozhou will usher in the moment of take-off.

Although he offended Pei Ji, the harvest was huge.

"After all, there is still a lack of talent."

Fang Yuan looked at the thirteen letters, feeling bitter in his complacency.

The needs of each letter are different, and the types are more complex.

In this regard, Fang Yuan can only hand it over to Qicao Canjun to distinguish it, and then distribute it to each factory.

It would be great if I still have a think tank team at this time to help deal with these matters outside of officialdom.

In fact, Fang Yuan already had the idea of ​​setting up a think tank team, last time he wanted to accept Zhang Ji because of this, unfortunately he went to study.

A few days passed by.

Everything that the governors of the states need has been answered.

After responding to them, their long history also went to Liaozhou City.

Fang Yuan presided over, let the directors of the major factories arrive, talked for several days, and finally confirmed the contract.

If honeycomb coal, toilet, and red bricks are needed, Fang Yuan immediately arranges manpower to start, but the construction of the cement road requires various preparations.

Everything is going well and everything is going in a good direction.

But on this day, when Fang Yuan was entertaining Du Miaoyan and Wang Shiyu, he received a bad news.

Wang Shiyu wanted to come to Fang Yuan to settle the accounts of Wang's father and son, but Du Miaoyan blocked her and came to drink tea with Fang Yuan.

"My lord, the villagers of Shaoshan Village, Leping County do not allow our red bricks to pass through their township roads."

The newly established brick-burning factory Yu Shaofeng came to report.

Naturally, he was also one of the Fangfu's guards and was pulled out to be the factory manager.

Fang Yuan has too few manpower available, so he can only bring guards to fill in every time a factory is established.

Fortunately, Fang Yuan was free when he was in Wuling County, and specially trained them, making them somewhat capable of dealing with it.

"Is there a reason?"

Fang Yuan frowned suddenly, said in a deep voice.

Leping County is the territory of Bingzhou, and Shaoshan Village is next to Pingcheng County.

The brick firing factory has orders from Xinzhou, which are very large and need to be transported through Bingzhou.

Du Miaoyan and Wang Shiyu also stopped drinking tea and looked at Yu Shaofeng worriedly and curiously.

"There's no reason, it's just that they don't want to transport it to us."

"We have already negotiated with the village head, but the village head ignored us, and there was no condition. We also approached the county magistrate of Leping County, but the other party was vague."

Yu Shaofeng's face was ugly, and he said angrily.

He tried all the methods he could, and only came to Fang Yuan after he had no other way.

"Is there any other way to send it there?"

Fang Yuan said with a cold face.

The villagers in Shaoshan Village ignored it, it can be said that they are troublemakers.

But if the county magistrate of Leping County ignored it, it would be the reason for the governor of Bingzhou.

Cui Yuanting, governor of Bingzhou, should have been ordered by Pei Ji to block his own development.

Among the orders this time, there was none in Bunju.

"Yes, but it takes more than [-]% more time, and I heard that the road is dangerous, and bandits often appear."

"But if we start from that road, we definitely don't have enough time, and it will be overtime after we arrive."

Yu Shaofeng also came to Fang Yuan after investigating clearly.

If the overtime, the other party has the right to return the goods, and the other party needs to pay a [-]% deposit.

This was negotiated before, because the copper coins are too difficult to transport, so the labor costs need to be compensated.

"Okay, I understand, you go to Pingcheng County Magistrate to negotiate, and I will find a way."

Fang Yuan said in a deep voice.

Would you like to contact the governor of Xinzhou to change the time?
Yu Shaofeng left.

Du Miaoyan saw Fang Yuan pondering, so she didn't disturb him.

After about a stick of incense.When Fang Yuan was about to write a letter to the governor of Xinzhou, he received a letter from him.

【Prefect Fang, the deposit has been delivered, please deliver it to Red Brick as soon as possible, please remember to compensate for any delay. 】

After reading the letter, Fang Yuan's face immediately sank.

Damn it, I was tricked!
