A few days later, Fang Qincha traveled with two long-term micro-suits, came to Wangjiang Tower leisurely, went directly to the window position on the third floor, ordered wine and food and ate slowly.

These days, Fang Qincha came to Wangjiang Tower from time to time. This is not because the food and wine are delicious, and others don't pay much attention to it;

It's not because this place is related to the famous historical figure Tang Bohu, he is already a big celebrity himself, and he still cares if others are celebrities?

It's not because the scenery here is good, no matter how good the scenery is, it can't withstand three days and two ends; It's not because the host's family Tang Guangde is hospitable, and he still doesn't lack this bit of silver.

The biggest reason is that it is located at the intersection of prosperity, and Tang Guangde likes to attract scholars with vassal elegance, so there are many people in Wangjiang Tower, and the atmosphere is lively.

After the scholars in Suzhou Mansion got together, they loved to talk and scold Fang Xuan, and they didn't dare to say anything. Fang Yingwu sat next to him, and he could hear a lot of discussions, which was very helpful for grasping the dynamics of public opinion. Come to think of it, there's nothing easier than that.

Tang Guangde, the proprietor of Wangjiang Tower, has always been very enthusiastic about Fang Yingwu's attitude, although Fang Qincha has a tendency to become a public enemy of Suzhou scholars, it stands to reason that he Tang Guangde should draw a line with Fang Yingwu;

But he also heard that Fang Yingwu had a close relationship with the great master Shang Liangchen, and it happened that his son Tang Yin was going to take the Xiucai exam this year, so humanity overcame conscience, and Tang Guangde actively cooperated with Fang Yingwu in all his requests.

Every time Fang Yingwu comes to Wangjiang Tower, there must be a screen enclosure, and a special person waits. This keeps the object out of sight. And the voices of others can reach Fang Yingwu's ears word for word.

Even when Fang Yingwu was not there, Tang Guangde heard something outside. It will inevitably let Fang Yingwu know the way.

Today, Fang Yingwu is still listening to the sound outside through the screen. Got rid of some of the cacophony of drinking orders and singing songs, and heard a few words of discussion—

"Have you heard? The day before yesterday, Li Taishou of Futai asked for his life for the people and went to the Qincha Mansion to meet Fang Qincha. He asked the imperial court to be considerate of the people's livelihood and suffering, and to reduce or exempt the taxes of the government, but the emperor refused to allow it. ”

"Li Futai is really a benevolent and beneficial parents, but the villain in the hated court is in charge, Li Futai can only condescend to the place, but this is also the blessing of my Suzhou Mansion!"

I also heard that Li Taishou was reprimanded twice by Qin Cha for this matter. Among them, the grievances are indescribable, and I am deeply unjust for Mrs. Li. ”

Wang Ying and Fang Yingshi were by Fang Yingwu's side, and after hearing the discussion, they were both indignant, and said hatefully: "Governor Li is clearly a person who sells his reputation and reputation, but he can succeed in this world!" ”

Can the two not be angry? Brother Qiu has always only used others to brush up on his reputation, how can he ever be used by others to brush his reputation? It's like after a person is used to taking advantage, it is difficult to bear to be taken advantage of by others!

Fang Yingwu remained silent, and only sighed: "This is expected, if there is no such benefit." Then how could Governor Li refuse to cooperate with me?

Besides, it's cold at high places, and the higher you go, the more you'll encounter this kind of thing. If you don't have status, who is interested in using you for prestige? ”

Finish your meal at noon. Fang Yingwu wiped his mouth and left Wangjiang Tower. When I returned to the mansion and was about to take a nap, I saw four high-grade attachés gathered in the lobby, as if waiting for me.

Fang Qincha had no choice but to go to the court. After everyone had saluted, he asked them, "Do you have something to say to your officials?" ”

Then an attaché surnamed Zhang spoke: "This place in Suzhou is a little different from other places. Similar to Kyoshi, it is an active population. There are also a lot of readers, and there are rumors and public opinion at every turn.

For example, when there was no big wedding today, there were rumors in Suzhou Mansion that the palace was going to be drafted, and for a time the whole city was boiling, and the people married their daughters one after another, and I don't know how many tragedies it caused.

Today's rumors about adults robbing the rich and helping the public are also full of wind and rain, and it is said that the intensity is no less than when the rumors were in the draft. The rich families are all frightened, and they are afraid that their homes will be broken overnight.

In the face of this situation, why are adults still as stable as Mount Tai? The subordinates thought that they should also ask the adults to make an example to the people as soon as possible, to show their true intentions, to correct the public, and to stabilize people's hearts. ”

Fang Yingwu said lightly: "The rumors stop at the wise, Zhou Gong is still afraid of rumors, the official body is not afraid of the shadow, the clear person is self-purifying, and he doesn't bother to explain anything!" ”

The attachés glanced at each other, and the attaché surnamed Zhang said bitterly: "The words of the adults are good, but there are many fools and fools in the world, and there is not one wise man in a hundred!"

The sage cloud, the people can make it impossible to know it, although the adults are noble, it is better to come forward to explain one or two, and they will definitely be able to collect the work of seeing the sun. ”

Fang Yingwu slowly took a sip of tea and sighed leisurely: "Shiyun, those who know me say that I am worried, and those who don't know me say what I want." You don't need to say much, the official has his own plans. ”

The subordinates glanced at each other, and resigned helplessly, they had fulfilled their obligations to their subordinates, and it was the boss's business whether the boss listened or not.

But Kong Mu Cai Fu deliberately took a step slowly, procrastinating in the house and did not leave, Fang Yingwu frowned and asked, "Do you have something to say?" ”

Cai Kongmu slurred: "My subordinates always think that my lord, you deliberately pushed the government to the opposite side?" ”

Fang Yingwu was stunned for a moment, and suddenly smiled, "This official is not intolerant, you continue." ”

Some words are gambling, Cai Kongmu gambled ruthlessly, gritted his teeth and said: "My subordinates have always felt that adults don't look down on these bureaucrats in the prefecture and county at all, and they are worried that their generation will not succeed enough and lose more than anything, so they dislike it in their hearts?"

Now, my lord, are you waiting for the opportunity to turn things into powder in one fell swoop? At that time, the order is forbidden, like the command of the arm, so as to accomplish great things? ”

Fang Yingwu was surprised, Cai Kongmu's words were vague in terms of details, but the gist of it was indeed right.

He really thinks so, pig teammates are more terrible than god opponents, and good scriptures can also be read crookedly by monks, especially when it comes to money and food.

In the two worlds, there are policies and countermeasures, and there are good governance and things that are out of shape, are there still few?

Even if the prefecture and county yamen showed a positive and cooperative attitude at this time, Fang Qincha would not be at ease with these unfamiliar bureaucrats and politicians, and would rather put on an attitude of rejection first!

Not to mention that Fang Yingwu knows very well what his reputation in Suzhou Mansion is, and he doesn't believe that as long as he releases his tyranny, everyone will worship him unconditionally. Unless there is an opportunity for him to really have faith in others.

Fang Daqin was also surprised that he originally felt that this Cai Kongmu had seen things thoroughly and was different from other subordinates, but he didn't expect that Cai Kongmu would be able to figure out such a secret mind.

In this way, Fang Yingwu let go of his own problems and asked himself: "I usually see that you talk well, and it must be good to read, how can such a talent be a little Jiupin Kongmu?" ”

Cai Kongmu's old face flushed, "I was also a scholar back then, but I was fined as a clerk, and after nine years, I was promoted to the Jiupin miscellaneous stream." ”

According to the national dynasty system, there are three kinds of official backgrounds, namely miscellaneous streams, schools, and imperial examinations, which are called three ways to advance simultaneously. The so-called miscellaneous stream is the origin of officials, the school is the birth of a supervisor, and the imperial examination is the origin of a scholar and a person.

In the early years of the dynasty, there was a lack of talents, and there was little difference in the status of the three paths. But now, birth has become a very particular thing, and among the three paths, only the imperial examination is the only one, and it is regarded as the right path.

In the imperial examination, only Jinshi is the only one, and the lifters are all second-rate goods, not to mention the prisoners. As for the background of the official, it is simply not on the table.

The officials transferred from the officials are generally lifelong nine-grade miscellaneous officials, and if they are lucky, they can be promoted to eight-rank but they are still miscellaneous officials. In the eyes of an official like Fang Yingwu, who was born on the right path, there was no difference between such a miscellaneous official and a petty official.

Fang Yingwu asked playfully: "What mistakes did you make back then, causing you to be fined as an official?" ”

Cai Kongmu's face turned even redder, "At that time, I had a little dealings with the concubines in my husband's family"

What is correspondence? said so unclearly, then things must not be clear, if it is unclear with other people's concubines, what else can the plot be?

Fang Yingwu's face suddenly flashed a wicked smile, "Mr. Cai, how are you doing?" ”

Cai Kongmu suddenly shook, remembering some bad atmosphere, he couldn't help but shrink back: "Why is Lord Fang asking so much? I don't know what to command? (To be continued......)
