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

"When the money comes, when will I start."

"If things get too big in the meantime, I might change my mind."

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

Changsun Wuji and Gao Shilian are both old foxes. If they don’t get the money to start again, they will only regret it and lose money.

"Fang Yuan, you're fine!"

Li Shimin's eyes darkened and he said angrily.

Fang Yuan shrugged and did not talk back.

If it were before, Fang Yuan would not be like this.

But after being demoted from Minister to Minister, Fang Yuan started to care.

You can't do all the good things and get no benefits in the end.

People always do it for themselves, even if the person opposite is the emperor, they are not afraid.

"The money will be in place within ten days!"

Changsun Wuji took a deep breath and said in a deep voice.

In this regard, the two parties reached an agreement and broke up unhappy.

Li Shimin saw a few people like this and was so angry that he drove them away.

But after Fang Yuan and others left, he showed a relieved smile.

The more fierce the fight between Fang Yuan and Changsun Wuji, the more at ease he, the emperor, will feel.

The ministers cannot unite, otherwise he, as the emperor, will not feel safe and will be worried.

The way they are now is exactly what Li Shimin wants, and he is fueling it.

"Fang Yuan, do you need my help?"

On the other side, Ma Zhou walked behind Fang Yuan.

His current position is not high, but in the secretarial department, he has many opportunities to contact the emperor.

"Not yet, I will contact you if there is."

"Ma Zhou, congratulations, your promotion is not a problem for you."

Fang Yuan laughed.

Congratulations to Ma Zhou on his current situation.

Being able to directly talk to Li Shimin about the issue of inflation shows how much he is favored.

"Thanks to your help, I am where I am today."

"You're welcome. If you have something to say, I will never shirk it unless it violates my principles."

Ma Zhou shook his head and smiled calmly.

The reason why I am where I am today is mainly due to Fang Yuan's role.

If Fang Yuan hadn't supported and recommended him at that time, how could he be where he is now.

"I just have something I want to ask of you."

Fang Yuan originally wanted to shake his head, but suddenly remembered something.

"Please say."

Ma Zhou suddenly became interested.

It is really not easy to make Fang Yuan beg him.

He also hopes to repay his kindness, otherwise he will feel uncomfortable in his heart.

"I have a few students whose grades are almost enough now. If you have a chance, mention it to the emperor."

Fang Yuan said.

Not long ago, Zhang Ji and Ge You wrote to them and talked about the current situation.

Several of them are already county magistrates and are doing well. Under normal circumstances, they will definitely be promoted to one liter in two or three years.

But seeing them mentioning things about political achievements, Fang Yuan understood and thought about whether there was a chance to mention it to them and give them the possibility to go further.

Now when we meet Ma Zhou, if Ma Zhou has a chance, let Ma Zhou support them and give them a chance to make progress.

It would be a pity that no one from the court would take them up if he left one day.

"Give me his information, and I will investigate and find out how to present it to the emperor."

Ma Zhou did not refuse, but he also did not agree.

He has his own principles and will not form cliques at will.

But since Fang Yuan mentioned it, he is actually a member of Fang Yuan's family.

Then if the people mentioned by Fang Yuan are really worthy of recommendation, then he will also look for opportunities to recommend them.

"I'll have someone bring it to you later."

Fang Yuan knew what Ma Zhou meant and didn't mind.

This is Ma Zhou, he has his own ideas, so that he can go far.

If you rely too much on yourself, or if you listen to yourself in everything, you will probably end up being lost to everyone else.

"Thank you, I'll go to work first."

Ma Zhou thanked Fang Yuan for his understanding.

After walking together with Fang Yuan, they separated.

The two have different office locations and cannot continue walking.

After Fang Yuan and Ma Zhou parted ways, they did not go back to the household department, but went home.

Now that we have decided to solve the problems of the three major factories and inflation, it is time to make arrangements.

After returning to Fang Mansion, Fang Yuan asked people to call Wu Ruyi, Lu Xia and others to discuss matters with them.

"Lu Xia, Wu Ruyi, you have always been taking care of the bank's affairs, but there is nothing happening at the bank now. You should be responsible for the affairs of the three major factories first. The three major factories will soon be back in our hands."

Fang Yuan said slowly.

"Changsun Wuji wants to return the three major factories to us?"

Wu Ruyi suddenly exclaimed.

Even Du Miaoyan was surprised and couldn't believe it.

"The problems of the three major factories have been exposed, and Changsun Wuji and others cannot solve them."

"At the same time, Ma Zhou happened to tell the emperor that the three major factories would cause inflation again."

Fang Yuan briefly explained the situation.

"Hahaha, so Changsun Wuji and Gao Shilian want to give our workers five months' monthly salary?"

Su Ziqing couldn't help laughing.

The monthly salary for five months is about 250 million.

250 million, how many years will it take to earn so much money?
Su Ziqing didn't know how fast Fang Mansion made money, but she knew how fast the Aristocratic Family made money.

Based on the Su family's situation, it is estimated that it will take three or four years to earn enough.

"That little money is a small thing."

"Husband, can the inflation problem really be suppressed?"

Du Miaoyan didn't care about that little money, because that little money was just a drop in the bucket for Fang Mansion.

On the contrary, it is an issue of inflation. If it cannot be suppressed, it will be a sinner, and it will definitely be terrible to be held accountable.

This is probably why Changsun Wuji and Gao Shilian would rather cut off their flesh than participate in solving the inflation problem.

"I can't help it, but Wang Shiyu can."

Fang Yuan looked at Wang Shiyu with a smile.

"Ah I?"

Wang Shiyu was greatly surprised.

She was originally curious why Fang Yuan would ask her to talk.

Looking at so many people, it was obvious that they were core members of the Fang Mansion, people whom Fang Yuan trusted very much.

Although he has a good relationship with Fang Yuan, he is not qualified to become a core member of Fang Mansion and has no reason to come.

When he felt a little disappointed, Fang Yuan actually said that he had a solution. Where did he get the solution?
Others were also surprised and looked at Fang Yuan and then at Wang Shiyu.

"It's the Maritime Silk Road you proposed before!"

"The ship has been prepared for you. In addition to your own cargo, you need to take some more things out!"

Fang Yuan laughed.

Five large ships can transport a mountain.

With those five big ships, as long as we take a trip to the Western Region, part of the problem will be solved.

The speed of steel ships is fast enough. As long as Wang Shiyu trades faster and makes more trips, the inflation problem will be suppressed.

"can we start?"

"Can I also help you help with inflation?"

Wang Shiyu said excitedly.

Then he realized that he seemed to have said something wrong and immediately changed his statement.

"OK!"

"But this time the main thing you bring out is the things I gave you."

"After my things are arranged, you can see how much is left, plus your Wang family's things." "Also, for complete consideration, I will arrange some security guards for you. It will always be safer to bring a firecracker."

Fang Yuan said slowly.

With steel ships, wind and waves at sea are no longer a problem.

But there may be robbers at sea, and people from other countries may be watching.

The protection of the Fire Gun Team is very necessary, after all, in addition to the Wang family's things, they also have Fang Yuan's things.

"Okay, yes!"

"With five ships that big, there will always be something belonging to the Wang family!"

Wang Shiyu said excitedly.

In fact, after returning last time, Wang Gui and others no longer supported Wang Shiyu's foreign trade.

Therefore, most of the things Wang Shiyu wanted to sell were bought by himself, and some were produced by Fang Yuan.

She was embarrassed to tell others about this, lest they know that she had no family support and want to share the benefits she could bring.

"Then decide like this first, and you go back and prepare."

Fang Yuan said solemnly.

After Wang Shiyu left, Fang Yuan and others discussed in depth again.

In the end, sisters Lu Xia and Wu Ruyi also left, leaving Du Miaoyan, Xue Jiaoyan and other people from Fang Mansion.

"Xue Jiaoyan, keep an eye on the money from Changsun Wuji and Gao Shilian. We only give them ten days."

"If I didn't give it ten days ago, you don't have to push me. If I don't pay you ten days later, I will push you to death."

Fang Yuan said in a deep voice.

Changsun Wuji must not be allowed to take it easy.

And you have to get that money, otherwise it will be difficult to get it in the future.

After all, there are no black and white words, and even the emperor's words don't mean what he says verbally.

"Use money, I understand."

Xue Jiaoyan said with a smile.

A lot of the Fang Mansion's money was controlled by Xue Jiaoyan.

Of course, the final control is still in the hands of Du Miaoyan, and the position of the mistress is unshakable.

After explaining some more things, everyone slowly dispersed.

Fang Yuan also went to the study room and thought about what else needed to be corrected.

"Master, our sisters have something to ask of you."

Hongxu and Qinggao arrive.

The two of them looked timid, as if they had something they wanted to say but didn't dare.

"what's up?"

Fang Yuan asked curiously.

The three of them have known each other for many years and have been together for many years, but they have never seen them like this.

"We, we want to go to sea with Miss Wang and return to the Western Regions to see."

Hongxu and Qinggao looked at Fang Yuan with hopeful eyes.

"Back to the Western Regions?"

Fang Yuan said in surprise.

At this time, Fang Yuan had just emerged, and Hongxu and Qinggai were women from the Western Regions.

After getting along for many years, Fang Yuan had forgotten that they were from the Western Region and had always regarded them as one of his own.

Now that they mentioned it, Fang Yuan remembered that they were from the Western Region.

"We have been away from home for a long time. We wanted to go back before, but we didn't dare to go back."

"Now I heard that a steel ship can reach the Western Regions in half a month, so..."

Hongxu and Qinggao said squeaking.

As Fang Yuan's life and conditions got better and better, they wanted to go back to the Western Region to see more.

But they were embarrassed to say it, and it would take two or three months to go by land. The journey was busy and dangerous, so they never made up their mind.

Now that they knew that the steel ship was so fast and its safety was almost guaranteed, they wondered if they could go back and have a look.

"So that's how it is. Then go back and take a look. If you need anything, just tell me and I'll prepare it for you."

Fang Yuan understood, stood up and walked towards the two of them, giving them a hug.

Although they looked like master and servant to each other, Fang Yuan always regarded them as his family.

No matter it is a difficult time or a time of suffering, each other is united and supports each other.

Now they are homesick and want to go back. Although Fang Yuan is reluctant, he still supports them to leave.

"Thank you sir."

Hongxu and Qinggao's eyes suddenly turned red.

The two of them hugged Fang Yuan tightly, one on the left and the other on the right, and their tears wetted Fang Yuan's clothes.

"If you go back, if you don't want to come back, remember to write me a letter!"

"If you encounter any problems, remember to write to me and I will bring someone to support you!"

Fang Yuan said solemnly.

After being together for a thousand days, there will always be a time to part ways.

Even though they are thousands of miles apart, Fang Yuan treats them as family.

"Thank you sir!"

Hongxu and Qinggao cried even harder.

In the evening, Fang Yuan talked to Du Miaoyan and asked her to prepare something to take back to the two of them.

When it was mentioned that the two of them were leaving, Du Miaoyan also felt reluctant to leave and regretted not letting Fang Yuan accept them into the harem.

The two of them got along with Fang Yuan earlier than themselves, and their understanding of Fang Yuan is no worse than their own.

Leaving suddenly now is a bit reluctant and very regretful.

the next ten days.

Changsun Wuji and Gao Shilian gave the money on time.

As soon as the news came out, many people in Chang'an City laughed that the two were taken advantage of.

But the laughter turned out to be that more people were watching Fang Yuan's performance to see how he suppressed inflation.

Now that ten days have passed, the market situation is already beginning to change, and prices feel like they are about to skyrocket.

But just after Fang Yuan received the money from Changsun Wuji and Gao Shilian, the dynamics of the market seemed to change immediately.

First, a large amount of money was forcefully injected into the market, and then many goods became collection points and were expropriated and sent to the Western Regions for trading.

On the other side, the three major factories started construction immediately. The grand opening ceremony gave many people confidence that inflation will not expand!

On the 12th day, five huge steel ships were about to set off from the Weishui Port.

Fang Yuan personally came to see off the ship!

"Fang Yuan, this journey has been a thousand miles, and the hardships involved are beyond words."

"If I come back safely, how about you marry me?"

Wang Shiyu suddenly looked at Fang Yuan and said affectionately.

She blushed, but her eyes were determined.

Because she knew it would take a long time to come back.

Moreover, we still don’t know whether the road is really that safe or whether the Western Region can be safe.

The future was full of too many uncertainties, so she wanted to express her feelings to Fang Yuan before leaving.

Otherwise, you will eventually board the ship with regrets.

"My qualifications as a common wife have been exhausted now. Are you sure you want to marry me?"

Fang Yuan couldn't help but be surprised.

Now the principal wife is Du Miaoyan, and the ordinary wives are Su Ziqing and Gao Xiangyu.

If Fang Yuan marries anyone from now on, they will only be concubines.

Although Fang Yuan would treat every woman equally, the perspective of the times did not see it that way.

A concubine is a concubine, and her position in the family is just a little higher than that of a servant. She is not even considered the master's wife.

Wang Shiyu comes from a wealthy family, and her family will definitely not agree to such a marriage.

"Miaoyan said that if we succeed this time, she will create a king!"

Wang Shiyu said with clenched fists.

Before confessing to Fang Yuan, she had spoken to Du Miaoyan.

Du Miaoyan already knew it, so Du Miaoyan told her not to worry.

"Making a king?"

"What do you mean?"

Fang Yuan was probably surprised and asked in surprise.
