Empress: Your Majesty, please respect yourself, I don't want to be promoted

With enough face and face, why would they hesitate?

So he, like other merchants, not only gave up the idea of ​​going to Suizhou, but also took out half of the coffin and pressed it on this small Ping County.

Even if it is not for the benefits Fang Yu promised, he will do his best for Fang Yu, a sincere and good official.

It turned out afterwards that their choice was correct.

The goods they brought were sold out by Fang Yu with the help of colleagues in various counties. Although the profit was reduced a lot because of the profit sharing, such a fast delivery speed saved them a lot of time. It's hard to say.

After all, for businessmen, time is too precious.

And there is another advantage of cooperating with Fang Yu, which is safety.

Don't look at Fang Yu's polite appearance, in fact, he dared to single-handedly kill bandit dens everywhere and kill all the bandit leaders when he just took office and when he didn't have many people under his command. The rest were personally escorted back to the county government prison, and became free laborers now, paving the way for the government to build bridges and make atonement.

Not only Fang Yu, but other officials who took office together with Fang Yu also have extraordinary skills. After the reputation is made public, it is too late for those thieves to hide from them. How dare they rob the businessmen who cooperate with them?

Therefore, now Ping County has become the favorite place for foreign businessmen, and when there are more businessmen, there will be more exchanges. The county soon prospered.

Moreover, Fang Yu's talent in business can be called a ghost. After he became famous in Ping County, he began to actively communicate with his colleagues to understand the situation in other counties, and to know which products in each county are more abundant and which are relatively scarce. Integrate resources and radiate counties through the prosperous business of Ping County.

Today, while Ping County continues to develop, other counties are also slowly developing through prosperous commerce. Although the people are not rich, at least they will not starve to death. feed a family.

Although it is a bit hard and tiring, at least there is no need to rely entirely on the gentry and aristocrats to live like before.

It can be said that most of these changes were brought about by Fang Yu.

Compared with those so-called parental officials who are either meddlesome people or dedicated to cultivation, people like Mr. Fang are really good officials.

As soon as he thought of this, Su Youcai couldn't help feeling a lot of emotion, and made up his mind that after this trip, he would settle down in Ping County.

With a good official like Fang County Magistrate, you don't have to worry about not being rich, and you can get respect that you can't get in other places.

Su Youcai bowed heavily to Fang Yu, and said solemnly: "Magistrate Fang, don't worry, what you want, even if it's a small one, will go bankrupt, I will definitely get it for you."

"That's not necessary."

Fang Yu waved his hand.

"It's good for Su Yuanwai to do what he can. Even if he can't get it, I won't blame him, and he will pay a loss fee. In short, I will definitely not let you, Su Yuanwai, go to waste."

Hearing this, Su Youcai was immediately moved.

In all the world, is there a better place to do business than here?

No, such a good place to do business cannot be enjoyed by him alone. I heard that Brother Li has recently lost his backer, his business has been hindered, and he was bullied by corrupt officials and evil gentry in Fucheng. The sheep was slaughtered, and this time when I go back, I can just tell him about the Ping County...

Thinking of this, his eyes brightened.

Monopoly is certainly the best way to make money, but it can only be achieved by top-level big shots. Although Su Youcai has a lot of money, he is not yet qualified to engage in big monopoly businesses. If a small businessman wants to develop , Either serve as a lackey for a big family, or take a huge risk to do business everywhere.

It is also a good way to stay together, share information, and make money together...

This Ping county is obviously a very good platform.

"Master Fang is really benevolent and righteous, I admire you a little bit."

He saluted Fang Yu again, and with Fang Yu's gentle smile, he said goodbye and left.

Seeing the back of Su Youcai leaving, Fang Yu breathed a sigh of relief.

This big deal has finally been negotiated. As long as things go well, not only will the living standards of the people in Pingxian County be raised to a higher level, there will be no shortage of medical care and medicine in the future, and it will also completely break through the joint blockade monopoly of local wealthy businessmen and gentry and wealthy families in Pingxian County. .

In the future, you don't have to worry about their constraints.

"grown ups."

At this moment, a soft call suddenly sounded from behind.

Fang Yu turned his head, and suddenly saw a scribe with a characteristic goatee beard walking towards this side quickly.

"Lord Liyue, Magistrate of Hu County, please see me."

Hearing this, Fang Yu's mouth twitched inexplicably.

Why is this product here again...

In my mind, I can't help thinking that this "good sister" who always likes to tinker with strange things, came over to tell him ten days ago that she discovered a new type of material. Guo Limin's artifact now needs to spend money to recruit people to tinker with it, and using this as an excuse to ask him to borrow money in the name of the county government of each county, he can't help but have a headache.

There is no way, now among the group of Xuanji guards who are acting as acting county magistrates in various counties, he is the fastest to make money. Whenever these former comrades encounter any problems related to money, the first thing they think of is him. Especially Liyue, the magistrate of Hu County who is the closest to Ping County and spends the fastest money. She is only five feet tall and looks like a little girl who will never grow up and runs the most diligently.

Although Lu Chen once said that as long as the way is beneficial to the people, it is the way, but he still has a little difficulty accepting Liyue's way of investigating things.

But there is no way, who made him have a life-threatening friendship with Liyue?

Should I borrow or have to borrow...

Fang Yu felt depressed when he thought that the county government's pockets, which had just bulged up, would have to shrink a bit.

Shaking his head, Fang Yu looked at the scribe and asked, "Where is she now?"

"Waiting for you in the back hall of the county government."

Fang Yu nodded slightly, and then continued: "Did she say anything, or did she bring anything?"

"Your Excellency is really clever, Master Liyue did bring something, and even said that he would give you a surprise."

Hearing this, Fang Yu's heart was like still water.

surprise?Just don't give me a big bang that almost scared me to death.

Thinking back to the time when he was in the Holy Realm, when this guy fiddled with those inexplicable powders and almost blew up the Xuanwuwei tent, he couldn't help but feel a little speechless.

"Well, I see, I will go there now..."

As if resigned to his fate, Fang Yu sighed softly, stepped forward, and walked towards the back hall of the county government together with the clerk.

Chapter 163 The Uninvited Guest

Such a big event happened in the court, but Lu Chen was still as usual. After the morning court, he would either go to Zichen Palace to teach the empress mathematics, or get familiar with the new job in the public house, and then go home at some point, or work overtime for the empress to work or teach. A busy day in the life.

You should eat and drink, and don't take things to heart.

It was as if he was not the one to be impeached so severely, and he had no intention of proving his innocence, so he just let the undercurrent flow.

However, when he is leisurely and fulfilling every day, whether it is the empress, or Gu Simiao, or Fang Ping, Liu Dongyang, Xiao Yun, Xiao Yi, etc., it can be said that, except for the temporary and Cangming Except for Fu Yu who returned to the Holy Realm with the Holy King, almost everyone who has a good relationship with Lu Chen is paying close attention to the development of this matter.

The Empress even thought about fabricating the facts and making Lu Chen say she was ordered by her to find a way to instigate Chai Hongyu, but she gave up this plan when she thought of Lu Chen's down-to-earth and outrageously upright character.

During this period of time, as long as Lu Chen doesn't work overtime in Zichen Palace after he is on duty, and returns home normally, there will be guests at home.

Thanks to this, Luo Xiaoyu, the little butler, has a lot of contacts at once. After all, when these big shots are waiting for Lu Chen, they will chat with her for a while when they are bored.

Anyway, Luo Xiaoyu is also Lu Chen's childhood sweetheart, almost the person who knows Lu Chen best. Fang Ping and the others, especially Gu Simiao, are still very interested in Lu Chen's past, knowing that Lu Chen has a lot of past. thing.

Even though she knew that Lu Chen would come back very late, she would stay in Lu's mansion and chat with Luo Xiaoyu.

After tasting Luo Xiaoyu's cooking once, and knowing that it was Lu Chen who taught her the skill himself, she came more frequently.

However, if some things don't happen for a while, it doesn't mean they will never happen.

"Miaoer."

When the five members of the Gu family and the Gu family were eating, Mrs. Zhao suddenly spoke, breaking the peace of the past.

Gu Simiao raised her head, looked at her mother, and said softly.

"What's the matter? Mother, what's the matter?"

Mrs. Zhao hesitated for a moment, then glanced at Gu Yanming who was silent, then gritted her teeth, and then spoke slowly.

"What's the relationship between you and that Lu Chen now?"

Gu Simiao gently put down the bowl.

"Colleagues with a better relationship, there is nothing else other than this."

Hearing this, Mrs. Zhao breathed a sigh of relief.

"Really? That's good, that's good..."

A very happy look.

Gu Simiao frowned, noticing something unusual.

After being severely reprimanded by her father before, her own mother, who is always in a position of power, has become a lot more honest. It has been a long time since she brought up such a topic with her, and now she suddenly brought it up, as if she wanted to interfere in her life again, which immediately made her instinctively Feel something wrong.

"What's the matter? Mother, why did you say this suddenly?"

Seeing her obedient daughter asking back, Mrs. Zhao hesitated for a moment, but still bit her lower lip, and said, "Today, I went to Baoxiang Temple to offer incense for my mother and some former boudoir friends. While eating vegetarian food, I heard a story about Lu Chen bad news."

Hearing this, Gu Simiao's eyes flashed with clarity.

Mrs. Zhao continued: "I heard... that Lu Chen and the chief general of the world's number one rebel are a couple, and a righteous man used a retrospective spirit stone to record that they depended on each other for life and death when they faced powerful enemies, and they never left. There is ironclad evidence that Lu Chen is not a loyal minister, but a traitor, and he only joined the government to disturb the court and subvert the world for the leader of the traitor."

"They said that many ministers in the court had requested Lu Chen be executed, but His Majesty was grateful for the loyalty he had pretended to be, and was deceived by his sweet words. Even in the face of such evidence, His Majesty refused to execute Lu Chen. Instead, he continued as usual The trust of the land is more important than him. Based on this, many knowledgeable people in Luo Jing are ready to jointly launch a petition to denounce Lu Ni, get rid of the traitors, and restore peace to the Great Xia court and the world..."

As she spoke, she stared at Gu Simiao seriously.

"Although it sounds incredible, there is no smoke without fire. This matter has caused such a big fuss and so many people say that Lu Chen is a rebel. The evidence is true. Miao'er, since you have nothing to do with that Lu Chen, you must do it in the future. Stay away from him and never have anything to do with him, lest His Majesty wakes up and implicates our Gu family when he kills Lu Chen..."

Hearing this, Gu Simiao's complexion gradually became serious.

Snapped!

As soon as Mrs. Zhao finished speaking, Gu Yanming slammed the porcelain bowl on the dining table, and Mrs. Zhao was startled by the crisp sound.

"Husband... Husband..."

Gu Yanming snorted coldly, ignored her, but turned to look at Gu Simiao.

"Miao'er, don't listen to your mother's nonsense. You know better than us what kind of person Lu Chen is. He can't be a rebel at all. These information and the so-called evidence must come from some scornful people. If he was framed and framed, if he was really a rebel, he would not have stood up when His Majesty was controlled by the Demon Queen. After all, the reason why Yu Jiuyuan had the opportunity to take advantage of the situation was because the Queen Mother was in chaos. !”

"At the beginning, under the rule of the Demon Queen, corruption was rampant in all states and counties, and the common people had no means of living. Only in such a turbulent Great Xia did the soil for rebels breed, and only then did the rebels have the opportunity to grow like Jiuyuan. How could the rebels hope so much? Your Majesty’s presence of a Holy Lord? So the theory of anti-thief is pure nonsense.”

Hearing this, Mrs. Zhao felt a little anxious.

"But they all say that..."

Gu Yanming glanced at her coldly.

"When the Gu family was questioned and imprisoned by the court, they also said the same thing. What happened?"

Faced with her husband's rhetorical question, Zhao's aura suddenly shrank by half.

"This... how can this be the same, Miaoer didn't really betray the court..."
