Royal Gold Medal County Magistrate

#273 - Chapter 273 Happy Life in Taoyuan County

For several days in a row, Fang Zheng Yi had his fill of Peach Blossom County.

Because Peach Blossom County was closed off, the market was only so big, and merchants had already begun to use any means necessary to grab business.

There was a training center in the county, which Fang Zheng Yi had personally taken care of in the beginning.

However, due to a lack of teaching experience, he crammed a lot of modern concepts into it all at once.

Unfortunately, at first, everyone did business in the same old way as the outside world, and the development he had imagined did not occur.

Once life stabilized and developed to a certain extent, a strong fermentation suddenly occurred.

The goods were still mainly primary agricultural products, but the rapid advancement of the service industry already had some of the rudiments of a modern market.

Because paper prices were cheap in Peach Blossom County, small tricks such as flyers were commonplace.

Things like coupons even started to become very popular.

Moreover, some people, in order to specialize in high-end consumption, even came up with top-notch experiences similar to milk baths.

Li Yuan Zhao played around for a while and exclaimed how wonderful it was, directly deciding that he would come whenever he had something to do or not in the future.

Out of guilt, Fang Zheng Yi gave the crown prince a three-bedroom apartment on the spot.

On this day, the sun was bright and the breeze was gentle.

Fang Zheng Yi took Li Yuan Zhao and others for a walk around the flower nursery in the suburbs, and then went to the winery to watch the monkey acrobatics.

Li Yuan Zhao proposed to compete with the monkey, throwing fruit into the wine vat, and was miserably defeated by the monkey 3:10.

The monkey was very well-trained, and would clap wildly when it won.

At noon, everyone ate monkey brains and roasted duck in a hanging oven...

In the afternoon, they strolled around the city for a long time. After not returning for a few months, new facilities had appeared on the streets.

A brand new arena, I don't know what Ao Chen was thinking.

Citizens who had conflicts could each pay one penny of silver and go on stage to fight.

Referees and doctors were all available. As long as they didn't kill or cripple each other, they could vent their anger however they wanted.

The Peach Blossom County people were extremely tough. When Fang Zheng Yi and his party arrived, two women were fighting on it.

Afraid of being disfigured, they also thoughtfully wore finger cots and hairnets. The two women beat each other black and blue. There were also three groups of people queuing up under the stage, and the onlookers were shouting madly, 'Kill her!'

Li Yuan Zhao's face was flushed as he watched, and he couldn't help but join the cheering squad.

This scene struck Fang Zheng Yi like a thunderbolt, his mind was in chaos, and he didn't know whether he should interfere.

After all, he had never seen this kind of situation in his previous life!

After watching the passionate street brawl, Li Yuan Zhao quietly ran to a book stall and bought several indescribable books.

Fang Zheng Yi had sharp eyes and spotted a hardcover copy of something like 'County Magistrate' peeking out from his chest!

Time flew by until the evening.

Fang Zheng Yi booked the theater to treat Li Yuan Zhao to a show.

The theater had also evolved new services, the basic facilities were renovated, and there were two grooves on the left and right handrails for holding cups.

One cup for juice, one cup for popcorn.

The popcorn was naturally made of rice, ordinary sugar-added popcorn only cost a few dozen coins, and butter-flavored cost five taels a cup.

On stage, they were performing 'The Legend of Ji Gong II'.

Fang Zheng Yi was already numb, and he regretted bringing Li Yuan Zhao to see this show.

The Peach Blossom Theater should no longer have serious drama performances, they were all fantastically modified and chaotic love dramas.

The precious culture he left to this world had been ruined beyond recognition.

He didn't keep an eye on them for a moment, and the people whose imaginations were unconstrained went astray!

Obviously, the Peach Blossom County people didn't care about serious things at all.

On the contrary, they reacted enthusiastically to this kind of lewd plot.

He didn't know if it was compiled by the great artist Wu Sheng, or by young people who had been led astray by the bad atmosphere.

The Ji Gong on stage was still played by the previous Xu Xian, and the dog-blood drama had become a martial arts drama.

After ten years, Xu Xian had evolved into a powerful, bull-headed lewd monk who specialized in collecting yin to supplement yang.

He was leading the heavenly soldiers and generals to counterattack Ling Mountain against Sun Wu Kong.

The Buddha on stage was obviously unable to resist, wielding the lotus throne and swinging it left and right, constantly calling out to Fahai for help.

The two groups fought back and forth, the fight was exceptionally lively.

Li Yuan Zhao was obviously very interested in the fight scenes, grabbed a handful of popcorn, took a sip of juice, and watched the performance on stage intently.

He muttered, 'It's really great! It feels really great to live in Peach Blossom County!'

'Lao Fang, help me get this opera troupe to the East Palace in the future. Why isn't there such a wonderful show in the capital?'

Fang Zheng Yi shuddered all over.

He couldn't help but tilt his head and think for a moment.

He couldn't even stand this kind of performance himself. If he brought it to the East Palace, wouldn't the emperor and the officials skin him alive?

He would be surrounded and beaten by monks and Taoists as soon as he left the door, and he might be knocked out on the road one day...

It was fortunate that there were no religions or anything like that in the county!

Forget it... it should still be managed! Strictly reviewed! In the future, these negative things must not be performed on stage, let alone spread to the outside world!

After making up his mind, Fang Zheng Yi said earnestly, 'Your Highness, we've had enough fun, it's time for us to return to the palace.'

The chairman approved an indefinite leave, do you really want to keep playing crazy? What are you waiting for if you don't go back to work?

'If these lewd things are brought to the East Palace, what will others think of me?'

'I still have face!'

Li Yuan Zhao glanced at Fang Zheng Yi: 'Lao Fang, after being with you for so long, I have decided that I don't want face anymore.'

'We don't need those worldly restrictions!'

Fang Zheng Yi: '..........'

Li Yuan Zhao continued to talk about his feelings: 'I was thinking on the way back, why does Father Emperor dislike me?'

'It must be because my skin is too thin, I can't say nice things, I can't act, I will change when I go back! I will pretend to be like some in front of Father Emperor in the future.'

'Lao Fang, you should teach me, what are some good ways to let me learn quickly.'

Fang Zheng Yi licked his lips: 'Let's learn some jingles first, fishing should be done on the island.'

'Fishing should be done on the hanging [diaoshang]...'

Fang Zheng Yi sighed: 'Forget it, Your Highness, your talent is not very good.'

'Let's talk about serious matters, we still need to manage Banshan Workshop when we go back, and the zhuangyuan tickets need to be strictly controlled.'

'I heard that many people have started to organize the study of classics in the workshop, just to buy zhuangyuan tickets and fantasize about getting rich overnight.'

'Once the zhuangyuan ticket revenue shows signs of rising, it should be revoked immediately, otherwise, if it is allowed to grow, it will be a big trouble!'

'The treatment of reporters is indeed a bit low, we should improve their working environment.'

'The autumn exam is coming soon, and many people in our newspaper are preparing to take the exam.'

'It's so difficult to recruit people now! What if they leave and don't want to come back, or if they pass the exam, what will the newspaper do?'

'Reporters are the newspaper's golden geese! We must try our best to keep them.'

Li Yuan Zhao turned his head and asked curiously: 'Why revoke the zhuangyuan tickets, isn't it a good thing that someone goes to study the classics because of it?'

Fang Zheng Yi shook his head: 'This is indeed a good thing.'

'But once there are more ordinary people who can read and write, then the matter of buying zhuangyuan tickets on their behalf will definitely be repeatedly prohibited.'

'Then the purchase threshold that I set at the beginning will be in vain. Ordinary people have no money, so why should they invest their money in this illusory fantasy?'

'Once the situation escalates, then good things will turn into bad things.'

'As for the newspaper, let's go there tomorrow, I plan to let Xie Xian manage the newspaper.'

'During his time in Jianjiang....'

'Lao Fang, look! The Tathagata is being suppressed under the Five Finger Mountain!'
