Prodigal Son of the Ming Dynasty

  Chapter 928 Famous Teachers Produce Excellent Apprentices

  Fang Jifan is full of bad things.

   Now this majestic official of the Ministry of Officials has fallen into the hands of this person...

  All the ministers in the hall are full of sad thoughts.

  Wang Ao wished he could stand up and hit the pillar.

   But Fang Jifan knew that Wang Ao would not die.

  He is an old man who has a son. An old man can still create a son. It can be seen... how much this man loves life.

  Zhu Houzhao was overjoyed, always looking at Wang Ao.

   Interesting, interesting.

  Emperor Hongzhi regretted what he had said.

  No matter how you say it, it's also my mentor who taught me... Isn't it a little wrong to do this.

  It can be said with golden eloquence, but it has to be like this.

  …

  A decree was sent to Baoding Mansion.

  Everyone was dumbfounded.

  The roads in Dingxing County are only allowed to be used by people in Dingxing County.

  Dingxing County will set up a land inspection department, and no vehicles or horses will be allowed to get off the road in the second county of Zhuozhou. Violators will be investigated and the goods will be detained.

  As soon as the news came out, Dingxing County was elated, and a good day came.

  Businessmen in this era dare not take any risks.

  People don’t fight with officials, and if they want to do business, they have to abide by the rules. Of course, everyone has a chance to do business. Those who may come to do business are all people with great careers, so they can’t… take this risk.

  Even Dingxing County directly offered a reward, and anyone who reported that a merchant secretly went to the second county of Zhuozhou to trade goods would be rewarded.

   Now, no one dares to go.

  Dingxing County is now like a new year.

  County government...

  Ouyang Zhigao sat, holding in his hand a memorial sent by the secretary of the household department.

  A few things were reported in it.

One is that tax checks will begin in the first half of the year. This year's taxes are bound to skyrocket. Last year, it was more than 60,000 taels, and more than 30,000 taels were released from the state treasury. , no accidents this year, this number may double.

  The second thing... is the problem of household registration.

A large number of laborers from nearby states and counties, even Baoding Prefecture, rushed here like crazy. Those with daughters married off their daughters, and those with sons pretended to be the adopted sons of a family in Dingxing County. In short, They changed daddy...

  Now, they are trying their best to find a way to get into the household register of Dingxing County.

The reason is very simple. Here in Dingxing County, a lot of merchants have come to buy everything. There are also many planned workshops that will be built in the near future. With the workshops in Xishan, many merchants are also buying land nearby. Prepare to build supporting workshops, after all... Even if the land price here has skyrocketed a lot, it is still much cheaper than the capital.

  The price of manpower in the capital is not low, but in Dingxing County, fifty dollars is as much as you want.

   Now people are recruiting everywhere, and people in other prefectures and counties are not jealous.

  In these years, too many people have all their strength, but have nowhere to use it. If they can settle in Dingxing County, they can earn at least one or two taels of silver a month, which is an astronomical figure for ordinary people.

  Nowadays, there is not much of anything, the only thing that is much is those people who cannot survive.

Ouyang Zhi said lightly: "If there are extenuating circumstances, everyone can settle down. The manpower in Dingxing County is not abundant. Besides, for tax and bank matters, the key point in the future is to check the merchants. It is okay to do business. I think Earning money is fine, but the taxes that should be paid have to be paid...and..."

  He was silent for a long time: "It's time for the county to recruit more servants. It's best to recruit from nearby counties and counties. Anyone who can read and write will be recruited. As for this county..."

  The official had long been accustomed to Ouyang Zhi's silence, and waited patiently.

  Ouyang Zhi threw the report on the desk, and then he said calmly: "People from this county should also recruit some to be included in the Land Inspection Department."

  Let the local people manage the security of the roads, and the people from other counties, join the government as officials. In this way, in this county, the influence of those gentry can be removed, but the Land Inspection Department is an organization for safeguarding the interests of Dingxing County. It is best to recruit local people. .

  After Ouyang Zhi finished speaking, he waved his hand and told the official to step back.

  With the tax bank, you can control the financial power. All the government orders of Ouyang Zhi are no longer based on the faces of the gentry. Whoever I recruit has nothing to do with the person. Anyway, I don’t need to ask the gentry.

  He rubbed his temples. Now, the situation has really opened up. Next...the entire Dingxing County will become a demonstration. Since it is a demonstration, then here, it must become the world of great governance that everyone envies. Now...is the beginning...

  ...

  Wang Ao arrived at Xishan early in the morning.

  Although he was very unhappy, very unhappy, and even wanted to turn his face.

   But no matter what, His Majesty opened the mouth. He is now the chief secretary of the Princess Mansion. The so-called master secretary can be regarded as a secretary. In short, he has to come early.

  He must prove that he is definitely not the brazen person Fang Jifan said.

   Arrived at Fang Jifan's mansion in Xishan, he stood outside, separated by a wall, was the sound of a group of children humming.

   Seeing Wang Ao coming, someone led him in. When he was passing the courtyard, Wang Ao saw a group of children holding wooden knives, humming and chopping wooden stakes in style.

   It's a cold day.

  But the children are not wearing thick clothes, just an inner shirt and a sweater on the outside.

  Looking at it...it's a little cold.

  But the children were sweating profusely.

  Wang Ao actually saw the emperor's grandson.

  His heart skipped a beat, and suddenly... tears were about to blur.

   Your Majesty has changed.

  His Royal Highness, still looks like that ghost.

  Only the grandson of the emperor...he can't let it go...

   Now the grandson is holding a wooden knife in his hand, chopping down the scarecrow very seriously, his forehead is full of sweat.

  Wang Ao was led reluctantly to a small hall and sat down. Someone asked him to pour tea: "My lord, I have admired you for a long time, my servant Deng Xiaojian..."

   This man is a eunuch.

   is serving Her Royal Highness the Princess.

  But now, he is serving Fang Jifan.

Fang Jifan is an infatuated and caring person. Deng Jian can prove this point. For example... now Deng Jian is not here, and he will not need to serve him in the future. The yearning for him, his thinking about life, and his deep affection for even a dog of the Fang family, all these are vividly displayed in the word "Xiaojian".

  Wang Ao didn't drink tea, but just put on a dull face: "Where's the captain?"

   "It's still early, the captain usually doesn't get up until mid-morning, I'm afraid it will take an hour."

   "..." Wang Ao is also convinced, getting up at noon? Is that human being?

   But he had no choice but to wait patiently.

  In my heart... a wave of sadness welled up.

  After living for most of her life, in the end, her integrity was lost, and she lost her virginity like an indescribable woman.

  Between sighing, he was just in a daze.

  Someone ran past this small hall in a hurry, and after a while, Fang Jifan ran out in a hurry: "Where is it, where is it?"

  Seeing Fang Jifan's anxious look, Wang Ao hurriedly chased him out and said, "Fang Duwei, old man..."

  Fang Jifan only glanced at him, ignored him, seemed very anxious, couldn't help cursing: "You bastard, see if I don't kill him."

   As he spoke, he ran out.

  Wang Ao didn't dare to be negligent, so he hurriedly chased him out.

  But saw Fang Jifan leaving the house and getting into a carriage.

Fortunately, when Wang Ao came, he also came in a carriage. He was the chief bookkeeper, so logically, he had to follow Fang Jifan. Although Fang Jifan ignored himself, Wang Ao was not an ordinary person, and his temperament was like this. Didn’t you, Fang Jifan, let the old man be the chief bookkeeper? Okay, then the old man will be the master book, but... hehe... If you, Fang Jifan, think that you can buy the old man's heart by doing this, then you are wishful thinking.

  Two carriages, one in front of the other, rushed frantically, and finally stopped outside Feiqiu Camp.

  Seeing two boys rolling in the mud, some military men from the Flying Ball Battalion scolded: "Where did you come from, dare to come here to make trouble, this is the army, no one is allowed to enter..."

  The child seemed to have fallen, but got up and said, "My name is Fang Zhengqing..."

  The soldier still didn't care.

  The child continued: "My father Fang Jifan..."

   There is another child beside him, but he looks like a little adult with his hands behind his back.

   This made Fang Zhengqing stand up, pat the dust off his body, and said, "My father is Fang Jinglong, what's your name?"

  The army man’s face was stunned, it was very exciting, he groaned, then knelt down, trembling: "It turns out... so it’s my uncle... The humble Wang Jinnian, I used to study in the academy, humble..."

  Fang Jifan heard the truth in the carriage, and was so angry that his face was white.

This morning the children did their morning exercises and went on an outing. Who would have thought that Fang Zhengqing and Zhu Zaimo had disappeared, which frightened Fang Jifan. Fang Jifan knew these two children even with his eyes closed. Eighty-nine is coming to Feiqiu camp. These days, they always talk about sending Xu Pengju to the sky, and this time, it really is.

  Fang Jifan rushed out of the carriage, furious, rushed up, and picked up Fang Zhengqing.

  Wang Ao also got out of the car behind him.

Seeing Fang Jifan reaching out his hand, he gave Fang Zhengqing a slap on the buttocks: "You are like a dog, who told you to bully others? Where are you my son? Your father and I have been upright and innocent in this life. You're like this, you always use your father's name to scare people, you dog-like thing, there is no hope, if I don't beat you to death today, I, Fang Jifan, read the three words backwards."

  Fang Zhengqing burst into tears: "Father, I was wrong, I just want to go to the sky to see..."

  Fang Jifan was furious: "Do you still have face? Are you still human? I told you not to be a human being..."

  Papa...a few slaps down.

   Fang Zhengqing's **** turned red, and he continued to cry loudly.

  Fang Jifan still didn't let go of his hatred, and looked at Zhu Zaimo with murderous eyes.

  …

   Ask for a monthly pass. Ask for a monthly pass, ask for a monthly pass, and say important things three times.
