Fang Yuan met Xu Hua by the pond of Canglang Pavilion, and together with him, he also met with the long history of Wuyue Palace-Mao Bijiang.

At this time, Xu Hua was no longer the simple owner of the peach orchard before, and with Fang Yuan's strong support, he was already the largest official businessman in Suzhou Prefecture. Industries spread all over the Qinglou, silk trade, and even the salt industry was also a small step in.

Although Xu Hua's industry is not as large as the Dongting Merchant Gang, it has faintly become an emerging force that can compete with the Dongting Merchant Gang.

This is all the result of Fang Yuan's full support behind him, the Dongting Merchant Gang, Fang Yuan really has to rely on it, but the checks and balances on the Dongting Merchant Gang are also indispensable.

Xiao Yuan poured tea for the three of them, and obediently stood beside Fang Yuan to serve.

Fang Yuan took a sip of tea and said lightly, "Boss Xu, with your friendship with me, you can come to me directly if you have something in the future, and you don't need to find someone to talk to in private." ”

Xu Hua was stunned for a moment, still figuring out what Fang Yuan was referring to, Xiao Yuan had already stood up and said, "Boss Xu, in the future, you still don't come to Canglang Pavilion to pay a private visit, otherwise, if there are rumors, no one's face will look good." ”

Xiao Yuan's words were to draw a clear line with him, Xu Hua was startled, and immediately came back to his senses, he contacted Xiao Yuan in private, and had touched Fang Yuan's forbidden body, and said with a trembling smile to Fang Yuan, "Yes, yes, Governor Fang, I am also confused for a while, and I will never dare to do it again next time." ”

Fang Yuan's face turned cloudy and clear, and he said unhurriedly, "I heard that you want to open a big green building in Songjiang Mansion?" ”

Xu Hua smiled as if he was entertaining, and nodded again and again, "Yes, but to open a green building, you need to go through the Department of Education, I want to buy the three largest green buildings in Songjiang Mansion." ”

Opening a green building is a sure business without losing money, not to mention that it is still a famous green building in Songjiang Mansion, Xu Hua really has a good calculation.

Fang Yuan smiled faintly, "The hearts of the people in Songjiang Mansion are undecided, and the local rich businessmen are still staring at me, so it is better to be quiet and not to move at the moment, besides, as the governor of the four prefectures, I can't interfere in the affairs of these merchants." ”

Xu Hua said embarrassedly, "This, this, please also ask Governor Fang to think of ideas and give a message to the officials of Songjiang Mansion." ”

Fang Yuanchuping Songjiang Mansion immediately reached out to make money, and was he not secretly scolded by the rich businessmen of Songjiang Mansion for being bloody? Notoriety, Fang Yuan's back, money, Xu Hua to earn, where is such a good thing?

Fang Yuan looked at him with a smile and said, "Although Songjiang Mansion is rich, there are fewer literati and, and there are not enough customers there. I still have a better place, it depends on whether Boss Xu dares to open a green building. ”

As soon as he heard that Fang Yuan had another good introduction, Xu Hua hurriedly asked where it was.

Fang Yuan coughed and said slowly, "It's the Donglin Academy in Changzhou Mansion." The academic atmosphere of Changzhou Mansion is quite strong, and it is the base camp of literati and rioters, opening a brothel in Donglin Academy, and keeping Boss Xu makes a lot of money. ”

Donglin Academy is located in Wuxi County, Changzhou Prefecture, was founded in the Song Dynasty, and after several abandonments, it was rebuilt by Gu Xiancheng, the leader of the Donglin Party, and used as a place for literati to discuss state affairs. The so-called Donglin Party came from this group of literati in Donglin Academy.

In short, Donglin Academy is the spiritual temple of the Donglin Party.

Fang Yuan went to this spiritual temple of the Donglin Party, and changing the Donglin Academy into a brothel was a fatal blow to the literati of the Donglin Party.

These official ruffians and literary ruffians who keep claiming to be the family and the country are all over the world, and the male thieves and female prostitutes behind their backs are only worthy of being in the company of brothels!

Mao Bijiang's face changed greatly when he heard Fang Yuan's words, and he lost his voice and said, "Fang Junmen, you are openly provoking the Donglin Party, and the consequences are unpredictable!" ”

I heard that he went to Donglin Academy to open a brothel, which was to completely turn his face with the Donglin Party, Xu Hua was eager to make money again, and he was also a little weak-hearted, so he couldn't help but retreat, and said hesitantly, "What Mao Gongzi said is, Governor Fang, this, this, it's too difficult!" ”

Fang Yuan took a leisurely sip of tea, looked at Mao Bijiang and said, "Mao Gongzi, I haven't provoked the Donglin Party once or twice, what can be the consequences?" By the way, the consequence is that Qian Qianyi, the leader of the Donglin Party, was driven to Fujian by me for refuge, and Yang Lian, the famous man of the Donglin Party, was also destroyed by me, heh! ”

Mao Bijiang sighed and said, "Fang Junmen, you are openly against the Jiangnan literati!" ”

Fang Yuan smiled and said, "The Donglin Party is the Donglin Party, and the Jiangnan literati are the Jiangnan literati, so there is no need to mix them up." For example, you will definitely support Bendu, right? ”

Mao Bijiang was countered by him, and said hesitantly, "Fang Junmen, Changzhou Mansion is a place of scholars, you open a brothel in the academy, this is a great disrespect to Sven and Confucius, and it will definitely cause public outrage, please think twice!" ”

Fang Yuan had neither a good impression nor an aversion to Confucianism, and when it came to insulting Confucius, it was even more on the line, which was definitely not Fang Yuan's original intention.

He restrained his frivolity, and said with a solemn face, "First, there is no doubt that our original respect is for knowledge, Confucius, and scholars; Second, if I open a larger comprehensive academy in Changzhou Mansion, it will be regarded as making up for it, and will it be considered insulting? ”

Mao Bijiang was stunned and asked, "What comprehensive academy?" ”

Fang Yuan said lightly, "This academy not only teaches the Four Books and Five Classics, but also teaches astronomy and geography, craftsman skills, textile and dyeing, metallurgy and forging, the way of doing business, accounting and counting, and even military theory." In short, I want to train not only Confucian talents, but also talents from all walks of life in all aspects of society. ”

Mao Bijiang was shocked by the comprehensive academy of three religions and nine streams planned by Fang Yuan, he could never have imagined that there would be such a academy covering all walks of life in the world.

Fang Yuan continued, "The academy will be divided into different colleges according to different industries, such as Confucian College, Engineering College, Textile College, Metallurgical College, Business School, Accounting College, Military College, and I will recruit expert talents from all walks of life to serve in the academy." ”

"There is a road for the imperial examination, and thousands of troops and horses cross the single-plank bridge, it is too difficult, and even Mao Gongzi has not been able to cross the single-plank bridge, isn't it? After the completion of this comprehensive academy, the selection of officials and the way out for literati are not only one way to take the imperial examination, as long as they are willing to study and study, all walks of life can be champions. In the future, for the selection of officials in the prefectures and counties under our original jurisdiction, students will first be selected from this comprehensive college for the official entrance examination, and then the imperial examination of the imperial court. ”

Fang Yuan copied university education and the civil service examination system. At least one skill and professional ability must be required to participate in the official examination that matches the major. Otherwise, what comes out of the imperial examination is a bunch of nerds who read the Four Books and the Five Classics and can only write splendid articles, and the theory and practice are completely out of touch, how to govern the prefecture and county? It is related to the national economy and people's livelihood, and Fang Yuan will never use the people as guinea pigs in the trial system.

The so-called industry can save the country, everyone goes to read the four books and five classics, poetry and songs, who still goes to study science and engineering, and develop the level of science and technology?

Just like the Republic of China, throwing a brick can hit a few literary masters. This is the talented and beautiful woman of the Mandarin Duck and Butterfly faction, and that is the literary giant of the Crescent Sect, but he was beaten by the devil and almost died in the country.

The devil recognizes you as a literary master, and the devil's gun doesn't recognize you as a literary master!

Fang Yuan seemed to be moved when he saw Mao Bijiang, and after declaring the righteousness, he began to feed him candy again, "If the Fushe is willing to support my plan, I can hire Mao Gongzi to be the head of this comprehensive academy, or I can hire the young talents of the Fufu Society to enter the Confucian Academy as a teaching master." ”

Although Mao Bijiang couldn't judge whether Fang Yuan's plan was feasible for a while, he was deeply shocked by his official selection system, which was very different from the imperial examination system, and coupled with Fang Yuan's policy inclination towards the young literati of the Fushe Society, he really couldn't refuse. ”

Fang Yuan smiled and said, "Mao Gongzi, how am I compared to the Donglin Party who can only talk cannons?" Is it insulting? Is it considered to be a blasphemy against Old Master Confucius? ”

Mao Bijiang was impressed by Fang Yuan almost instantly, and he complimented him without thinking about it, "The comparison between the Donglin Party and Fang Junmen is like fluorescence to the bright moon, and it is not the same day." I also have some connections in Changzhou Mansion, and I am willing to go to Changzhou Mansion for Fang Junmen to break into the Longtan Tiger's Den of the Donglin Party in Changzhou Mansion first. ”

Fang Yuan saw that he was willing to shoulder the heavy burden, he was indeed a great talent worthy of being entrusted with a heavy task, and it was not in vain that Fang Yuan tried his best to solicit him, and slapped the table with great joy, "Okay!" It is better to spend one tael of silver on the propaganda battlefield than five taels of silver on the military battlefield. If Mao Gongzi is willing to help me win the hearts of the literati and people in Changzhou Mansion, it will be enough to be an army of 50,000! ”

Fang Yuan persuaded Mao Bijiang, and then looked at Xu Hua, who was silent and pretending to be stupid, "Boss Xu, what about you?" ”

Xu Hua is a businessman, and he doesn't have the idea of Fang Yuan and risking the world of his country, he focuses on interests. went to Changzhou Mansion to open a brothel, the benefits could not be seen, the risk was obvious, rubbing his hands, and said hesitantly, "Governor Fang, this, it's still a little difficult!" ”

Fang Yuan was deeply dissatisfied with his mother-in-law's temperament, and asked impatiently, "Boss Xu, what's the difficulty, let's hear it!" ”

Xu Hua said hesitantly, "This, if Donglin Academy is turned into a brothel, I'm afraid the Changzhou government will not agree!" ”

Fang Yuan said coldly, "You can go to the Changzhou Mansion with the Governor's decree to negotiate, if the Changzhou Governor dares to refuse the Governor's decree, please ask them to see the Suzhou Mansion Tongzhi first, and promote the official; The prefect of Songjiang Prefecture, the county order, and the fate of the commander of Jin Shanwei. ”

What Fang Yuan said was all the government officials who were executed and their entire families were exiled when they were rectifying Suzhou Mansion and Songjiang Mansion before.

But if corrupt officials and corrupt officials know the current affairs and honestly cooperate with Fang Yuan, Fang Yuan may also open up according to the severity of the corruption. The corrupt officials who dare to oppose Fang Yuan, he will never show mercy to his subordinates, and usually the whole family sits together and purges them together.

Unless these officials in Changzhou really don't have any handle, in this era when officials are greedy, this kind of person will never exist.

Xu Hua was still very scared, and said with a sad face, "Governor Fang, opening a brothel in Donglin Academy is offending all the Donglin Party members!" ”

"So what?"

Fang Yuan scolded straight to the point and said, "Does Boss Xu still want to ride on the wall between the governor and the Donglin Party to watch?" ”

Xu Hua had this calculation in his heart, but how dare he admit it? Frightened, he shook his hand again and again and said, "No, no, I'm definitely in favor of Governor Fang." ”

Fang Yuan said coldly, "Boss Xu, it's really not me who scares you, you and I are already on the same boat as a grasshopper now." The struggle between our side and the Donglin Party is a life-and-death struggle, and you think you can still be alone. Now there are so many Donglin Party literati who want to peel off your skin, if we don't completely clean up the Donglin Party people, and return the pure land within the jurisdiction, we don't want to live in peace. ”

Xu Hua lowered his gaze and looked at the ground, Fang Yuan's words were reasonable. Since he chose to get on Fang Yuan's boat, he and the Donglin Party are on the same footing, and they can only end up with the complete end of one party. If you still want to ride on the wall and watch, annoying Fang Yuan, it is really a dead end.

Xu Hua sighed deeply, and finally made his final decision, "Okay, okay, I, Xu Hua, will fight with the Donglin Party with all the Governor of the Fang Dynasty!" ”

"Haha! That's right! ”

Fang Yuan laughed out loud, and didn't forget to remind him, "Boss Xu, you have earned so much silver, you should hire more guards, and be careful when you go out, in extraordinary times, don't be taken advantage of by people who have a calculating heart!" ”
