Through the efforts of Dong Wencong and Fang Shouye, the ships that were forced to move back returned to Baling Grand Wharf, and the Grand Wharf also resumed its former busyness. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Fang Yun, who was in mid-air, nodded lightly, stepped on the clouds, and landed on the dock.

Many people in Baling City bowed to Fang Yun, some let their children kneel for Fang Yun, and some adults also knelt down for Fang Yun, most of these kneeling adults were people who had a deep hatred for Qingguo.

The first thing Fang Yun did when he stepped on the dock was not to meet the Baling officials, but to take a walk around the pier and talk to the boatmen, fishermen, or the people of Baling City to learn about the local situation.

Fang Shouye and Dong Wencong were stunned for a while, Dong Wencong immediately asked people to take out the four treasures of the study, pick up a pen to paint, draw the scene of Fang Yun talking with the people of Baling, and then draw some officials in a distant place, and finally write a few comments.

"The Void Saint is coming, and the order of the dock is established, and the governor is beginning to appear, and the officials are far away and the people are near. The official is like a fish, the people are like water, and the fish and water are deep, nothing more than this. ”

After writing, Dong Wen handed the scroll to the staff around him, and said in a low voice: "Quickly pass it to the Editorial Institute of the Holy Academy's "Wenbao". ”

Dong Wencong's staff immediately left quickly.

The Xiangzhou officials present looked at Fang Yun, who was surrounded by the people of Baling, and showed a look of disbelief.

"Is this Governor Fang well versed in officialdom, or did he hit it by mistake?"

"The law of buying the hearts and minds of the people, this person is probably the best of the ten countries. An old jinshi snorted coldly.

"If the way of being an official becomes to please the people, what kind of system will it become!" another jinshi scolded in a low voice.

Some officials wanted to reprimand these Xiangzhou officials who supported Qingguo, but they couldn't open their mouths, because what the Jinshi official said was right, the way of being an official is the way of flattering and bullying the subordinates, no matter how stupid he is, he will not please the people, once he wants to take the position by pleasing the people, it is a taboo in officialdom, and he will inevitably be attacked by the masses.

If you can be promoted if you please the people, where will you put the high-ranking officials who are responsible for the promotion and promotion of officials? It is simply subverting the political system of a country.

However, these officials did not dare to besiege Fang Yun in this matter, the governor was not terrible, but as a false saint, it was not that they could use this kind of thing to bring it down, once it spread all over the world, it would increase Fang Yun's literary name.

Fang Yun is no one who can be restrained by any country's bureaucracy.

Fang Yun chatted with the people of Baling City for an hour before saying goodbye to them and walking in front of the officials of Xiangzhou.

"Meet the Governor!"

The officials of Xiangzhou, headed by Fang Shouye and Dong Wencong, worked together.

"You don't have to be polite, just talk as you go. The second time I came to Baling, it was also a revisit. Fang Yun said as he walked.

Many Xiangzhou officials who supported Jingguo showed a faint smile, because when Fang Yunwen fought against Qingguo and recaptured Xiangzhou, it was in this Baling City that not only made Qingjun's prestige discredited, but also made many high-ranking officials in Qingguo helpless, becoming the laughing stock of the Shengyuan Continent.

However, the officials of Xiangzhou, who supported Qingguo, did not change their faces.

"Let's walk back to the city together, and talk about Xiangzhou on the way. Wen Cong, can officials from all over the country arrive?" Fang Yun spoke while walking, he was younger than everyone present, but he spoke in an old-fashioned manner, full of official authority, and had the demeanor of the governor of the two states, no official dared to underestimate him, but felt pressure.

Dong Wencong hurriedly said: "Xiangzhou has a vast territory, with more than 80 cities under its jurisdiction, and if the county orders of some remote counties are taken by ordinary carriages, it will take a few days to arrive. ”

Fang Yun's vicinity suddenly became quiet, and many officials subconsciously weakened their breathing, for fear that their breathing would be too loud.

"Which county is so poor that there is not even a single horse? If you control the horse, even the farthest county order from Baling can be reached within three hours. ”

Dong Wencong coughed lightly and said, "Maybe some county towns and horses are diverted for other purposes, and the county order is inconvenient to transfer, so I came by ordinary oxen and horse-drawn carriages." ”

Fang Yun looked at the sun in the west and asked, "Is there a new cultural meeting tonight?"

Dong Wencong hurriedly said: "The lower officials have long been preparing for the new meeting, and some officials in Jiangzhou will arrive before the meeting. ”

"Okay, if someone doesn't come to Baling City before taking up the new meeting, then they won't be used!" Fang Yun said lightly.

The hearts of many officials present sank, if Fang Yun was cautious or close to the people to restore order before, then Fang Yun's words this time were to show the majesty and power of the governor.

The Governor has arbitrary authority over officials below the third rank.

Whether it is the Qipin County Order or the Wupin Prefect, as long as he serves within the two prefectures, Fang Yun can directly remove the officials below the third rank in Xiangzhou and Jiangzhou as long as he finds any small excuse and does not need to go through the cabinet.

The appointment of officials in other states by the Jing Cabinet has nothing to do with Fang Yun, but as long as officials are appointed in Jiangzhou and Xiangzhou, everything below the three grades needs Fang Yun's approval.

As long as Fang Yun does not stamp the Governor's Great Seal, neither the Four Ministers nor the two state officials appointed by the Empress Dowager have actual power and cannot take office.

It is precisely because of the great power of the governor that the countries are rarely set up, and Jiang Hechuan also took great effort to get the left minister to agree.

This is to give those Qing officials a disgrace, as long as those officials can't come, Fang Yun only needs a charge of "disrespecting the officials", and he can directly take them out of office.

The officials didn't dare to respond, and Fang Yun continued: "Where will this cultural meeting be held?"

Dong Wencong said: "Originally, there were five locations to choose from, namely Junshan, Dongting Lake, the State Academy of Literature, Lusu Yuejun Tower and the largest restaurant in the city, Wangjiang Tower. ”

"Yes, then today's cultural meeting will be held in the parade building. ”

Dong Wencong said: "Xiaguan reminds you that as the top priority of this literary meeting, you must write a poem. ”

"Of course I know that. ”

Fang Yun nodded slightly, these are the conventions of officialdom, since he wants to serve as the governor of the two states, he must learn to blend in with the officials.

"Where is Lu Ming, the magistrate of Taihe Prefecture?" Fang Yun suddenly asked.

I saw a middle-aged man in a scholar's robe walking a few steps briskly and said, "Humble Lu Ming, I have seen the Governor." ”

Fang Yun glanced at Lu Ming, his appearance was mediocre, with a mustache on his mouth, he looked very kind, but it made people feel very shrewd.

"How did you find out about the Fuxing Society?" Fang Yun asked.

Some of the Qing officials suddenly became nervous, but the Jing officials were much calmer.

"On the first day of the first week of the society, because I learned that you were going to take up your post ahead of schedule, the subordinate had to hurry up. Lu Ming replied truthfully.

"What do you think about this case?" Fang Yundao.

All the officials present pondered Fang Yun's intentions, and many looked at Yan Wu, the prefect of Taihe, who never said a word.

Lu Ming said with a bitter face: "This case is a case assigned by Lord Yan, and the lower officials have only one opinion, and they have more than enough heart but not enough strength, and I hope that other officials will accept this case." ”

"The dispute between the two countries and the people has already alarmed the scholars of the human race, and you really can't handle this matter with a county order. Governor Yan, can you take over this case and find out as soon as possible. ”

"This ...... It was precisely because he was busy with affairs that he could not try the case, so he handed it over to Lu Ming. ”
