Chapter 1633: The Governor Goes to the Street

"You are a person who understands, better than many people. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info" Fang Yun smiled.

"Alas, I understand something, I also heard from some readers. I heard that because of the paper workshop, the scholars almost got into a fight. ”

"Oh, did any of the scholars agree to build a paper workshop?"

"yes. Some people say that this paper workshop is Zhao's firm, and the shameless Qingjiang firm, after all, Zhao's firm is a royal firm, and the paper workshop built has an additional decontamination workshop to reduce wastewater, and the wastewater discharged is only two or three percent of the usual papermaking workshop. Even if this wastewater is discharged into the river, it is not a big problem. ”

But others disagreed, saying that they would also stop the paper mill. Then the people who supported the construction said that Xiangzhou had been plagued by Qingguo for many years and could no longer withstand the toss. Xiangzhou was very rich back then, but now, it has been compared with Jiangzhou, and even the income of the entire Ning'an County is comparable to more than half of Xiangzhou. In order for Xiangzhou to return to prosperity, some sacrifices should be made. The two sides kept arguing, and I was afraid that something would happen, so I stayed away. ”

Fang Yun nodded lightly and didn't say anything.

The middle-aged coachman said: "Actually, people in other parts of Baling City don't care much, mainly because people in some counties, towns and villages in the north and north of Baling City oppose it. The villages and towns in the north are downstream, and no one wants to see a paper mill upstream for food on the Yangtze River. Alas......"

The coachman was driving the car and talking about the paper mill in a contradictory tone.

The carriage left the north gate of Baling City, and soon arrived at the North Workshop District, and then walked along the Workshop District.

Fang Yun lifted the curtains, and there was a familiar feeling, because this place was very similar to the workshops on the bank of the river in Ning'an County, a large number of workshops were in operation, and many carriages and workers were coming in and out, busy and orderly.

When the carriage was about to reach the northernmost section of the North Workshop District, Fang Yun clearly heard someone shouting loudly.

"Drive away the wastewater workshop and return Baling to a blue sky!"

"As soon as the waste water comes out, the water demons will run away, can people still live?"

"Thirty years ago, my youngest son was poisoned by the aquatic life of the paper workshop, and he was only thirteen years old!

"I said that the officials here, brothers, you are also from Baling, and you are also from Xiangzhou, do you just watch the paper workshop harm people?"

The scolding continued, and the carriage came to a sudden stop.

"Master Tongsheng, are you going to take a detour, or are you going to stop here? The coachman said.

Fang Yun smiled: "You go back, I just arrived at the place, and I will take a look at the excitement by the way." ”

The middle-aged coachman hurriedly lowered his voice and said, "Don't fool around! I suspect that things are going to get big. I just said it because you were good, and if it were someone else, I would definitely not say it. ”

Fang Yun smiled and asked, "Then I want to thank you, but can you elaborate on it?"

The middle-aged coachman hesitated for a moment and said in a low voice: "There are a lot of curves and curves here. On the Yangtze River on the border of Xiangzhou, there are not only Baling City, but also several county towns or towns leaning on the Yangtze River. After all, if you make money locally, if you are an official, you will be promoted if you are highly evaluated. Later, the papermaking workshop settled in Baling, and the magistrates of several other places were not satisfied, so they have been secretly obstructing the papermaking workshop, wanting to let the papermaking workshop be built in their own county. ”

"It's not unusual. Fang Yun nodded lightly.

"Not only are several other counties obstructing, but Qingjiang Commercial Bank has directly hired a number of ruffians and hooligans to make trouble, and they really dare to do it. I've heard that if Baling were determined to build a paper workshop, they might set it on fire. That's why I said, don't go and join in the fun. The middle-aged coachman looked at Fang Yun seriously.

"Well, then I understand, I don't want to get involved in their affairs, I just go to my friends. Okay, I'm leaving, you're busy. Fang Yun said politely and walked forward.

The middle-aged coachman looked at Fang Yun, sighed lightly, and then looked further away, and saw thousands of people standing on the street, hundreds of soldiers were blocking those people, and behind them, there was a workshop under construction, but there was no one inside, and the work had been stopped.

There are many workshops near the paper mill, and in the early morning sun, some workers are chatting and watching the excitement.

The autumn breeze blew and became cooler and cooler, Fang Yun slowly walked forward, and soon approached the crowd.

Except for a few people who glanced at Fang Yun a few times, most of them didn't care, or they were scolding, or they didn't say a word as if they were watching the excitement.

"Move away from the workshop and give me back the clear water!" one of the boys shouted excitedly, and many others followed suit.

"Move away from the workshop and return my clear water ......"

Thousands of people shouted together, Fang Yun thought about it, and also shouted: "Move away the workshop, return me the blue water ......" After shouting, he looked up at the sky, and no one knew what he was looking at.

In the Xiangzhou Yamen, Dong Wencong, the state pastor, Xue Li, the director of the Ministry of Industry, and Yan Xiao, the prefect of Baling, held the official seal in their hands, and were using the official seal to supervise the surroundings of the paper workshop.

"Master Dong, why is this?" Yan Xiao asked.

Dong Wencong still had a crying and laughing expression on his face, and said, "Have you seen the boy who just arrived?"

"Well, I see, it's coming in a carriage. ”

"I just happened to use the official seal to probe the talent of those people, and it turned out that that it should be our governor. ”

"This ......" The official seal in the hall hurriedly used the official seal, and found that the person turned out to be a university scholar, and immediately believed Dong Wencong's words.

"The Governor shouted the slogans very hard. Xue Li couldn't laugh or cry.

Yan Xiao, the prefect of Baling, had the worst face, and said, "It seems that the governor is afraid that we will not be able to handle it well, so he went to see it in person." ”

"When everyone is ready, let us discuss, and report the results of the deliberations to the Governor, so that he will not be worried. ”

"Alas......"

Fang Yun continued to stay in the crowd, occasionally shouting slogans, and most of the time talking to those present, listening to their true thoughts and understanding the truth of the matter, instead of standing on top of a high temple and boasting that he understood the people.

At noon, someone made a special trip to distribute dry food and water, and Fang Yun, like most people, ate dry food and drank water for lunch, and did not leave there until nightfall.

Fang Yun walked to the back street of the state office, removed the disguise, revealed the deity, and then entered the state office.

The governor's yamen was not built, and Fang Yun was not easy to work, so he wandered around the state government to see how the officials of the state government did things.

As a result, the officials of the state government were frightened, and they thought that something big had happened, and no matter where Fang Yun went, all those officials stood up with a swish, and they didn't dare to move.

Fang Yun walked away a few places and suddenly felt bored, and was about to go back to his residence, when he heard the sound of discussion coming from Dong Wencong's office, so he went around to the door, signaled the guards at the door not to be quiet, and then walked in, sat in the small pavilion in the courtyard, and listened to the discussion of the officials in the main hall of the house.

After listening to it for a quarter of an hour, Fang Yun snorted coldly and said, "Ridiculous!"

The discussion in the room came to an abrupt end.

"Yes, Lord Governor. After Dong Wencong finished speaking, he hurriedly walked out with a group of officials.
