Chapter 329: Gossip, Tang Jian resigned from the position of the head of the household

With the support of hundreds of people, Fang Yuan and Sun Simiao finally returned to Fangfu.

After returning to the Fang Mansion, Fang Yuan politely said something to the people at the door, and then returned to the mansion.

Du Miaoyan had already returned to the mansion, and when she saw Fang Yuan coming back, she hugged each other excitedly, her delicate body trembling slightly.

"I just said I'm fine, now I'm relieved, right?"

Fang Yuan said with a smile.

Feeling Du Miaoyan's worry, Fang Yuan felt a little guilty in his heart.

It's good to come back early, otherwise Du Miaoyan's pregnancy may not be good.

"I know."

Du Miaoyan nodded heavily.

Coming out of Fang Yuan's arms, his face was slightly red.

She felt more and more like a little woman.

I didn't look like this before, but now I can't help it.

I remember that I didn't want to get married before, but now I feel funny when I think about it.

"Did anything happen during my absence?"

Fang Yuan pulled Du Miaoyan to sit down on the side and asked softly.

"It's not a big deal, it's all a small thing."

"By the way, Mrs. Li left, saying that she was looking for Li Danqiu."

Du Miaoyan said gently.

"Is there any news of Li Danqiu?"

Fang Yuan asked.

Since Li Danqiu escaped last time, there is no news yet.

Li Ji took people with the five surnames and Qiwang to make trouble for a few days, and then went to find Li Danqiu.

After so many days, everyone has no news of Li Danqiu, and they don't know what happened to her.

"Nope."

Du Miaoyan shook her head and said with a complicated expression.

Li Danqiu's incident was too big, and the five surnames and Qiwang all issued orders to rob and kill the rivers and lakes, and there were many auspicious ones.

"Leave her alone, she begs for herself."

"How did I hear that you were named the Lady of the First Rank?"

Fang Yuan changed the subject

Li Danqiu's matter is no longer something that he and Du Miaoyan can interfere in.

Deal with it as their family wants, and at most help when they need it.

In comparison, Fang Yuan was even more curious about how Du Miaoyan was named the First Lady of Destiny.

Doesn't that mean that you are more advanced than yourself?

"Thanks to my husband, after you successfully came into contact with smallpox, the emperor gave me a seal."

Du Miaoyan said with a smile.

Her rewards were all due to Fang Yuan.

The woman relied on her husband to become the youngest lady of the Tang Dynasty.

Recently, when she went out, the daughters of the powerful were all congratulated and envious of her marrying a good family.

In the past, although everyone didn't say it explicitly, many of them felt that Du Miaoyan was married to Fang Yuan, and secretly laughed at her.

Now, they're all starting to get sour.

"Is there a reward for Dr. Sun?"

Fang Yuan immediately asked.

He didn't mind what he sealed.

After all, it's better for him to not seal anything now.

But Sun Simiao is different, he has given a lot this time, and he has to be rewarded.

Otherwise, even Du Miaoyan, who was not present in person, would have such a high reward, how could Sun Simiao not be too bad, right?

"Rewarded, rewarded, but privately rewarded."

"Doctor Sun is allowed to enter and leave the palace at will, and Dr. Sun is allowed to go to the whole world."

Du Miaoyan said softly.

Except for Fang Yuan, everyone who went this time was rewarded, including those guards.

Someone told Du Miaoyan that because Fang Yuan bowed first, he hadn't sealed it yet.

Some people also told Du Miaoyan that because Fang Yuan rose too fast, it was not suitable to continue to rise.

"This reward is the same as three hundred taels of silver here, but I guess Dr. Sun will like it."

Fang Yuan felt weird and said with a smile.

felt that Li Shimin was deliberately blackening himself, and admitted his previous idea of forcibly leaving Sun Simiao.

Admit it. also made a private promise to Sun Simiao, which should be to apologize to Sun Simiao and allow him to go wherever he wants.

Although this kind of permission is private, since Du Miaoyan knows about it, then there will be many ministers who also know about it.

"Yes."

Du Miaoyan smiled and said.

and Fang Yuan continued to warm up for a while, and Princess Xiangcheng came.

Princess Xiangcheng was also worried about Fang Yuan, and rushed over after learning that Fang Yuan was coming.

After coming over, Du Miaoyan asked Princess Xiangcheng not to go back tonight and stay in Fangfu.

This is exactly what Princess Xiangcheng wanted, so she didn't postpone it and stayed according to Du Miaoyan's wishes.

In the following days, Princess Xiangcheng stayed in Fangfu.

And Fang Yuan started to work the next day after he came back and went to the household department to move.

Regarding Fang Yuan's reward, Li Shimin has not made a decision for a long time.

Because too many ministers are against it.

At the same time, negative news about Fang Yuan began to appear.

"Fang Yuan is young and is the servant of the fourth grade household, and he is secretly operated by the late Du Xiang."

"When Fang Yuan was in Wuling County, he used means to persecute the local magnates, and he was dictatorial and arbitrary."

"When I was making a history of assassination in Liaozhou, I killed a local family for power, which was brutal and unkind."

"Fang Yuan's identity has not been determined now, and such a person cannot be allowed to grasp more power."

One after another, bad discussions about Fang Yuan began to appear.

At first, few people discussed it, but later it actually overpowered Fang Yuan's credit for solving smallpox.

After all, Fang Yuan is so young and not a doctor, how can he solve smallpox?

As a result, there are more and more negative news about Fang Yuan, and more and more people are discussing it.

It is clear that someone is deliberately leading this.

But the people are good at that, they just like to discuss it.

"There are a lot of people who are popular."

"Presumably it's the five surnames and seven wangs who are ghosts, right?"

Xue Jiaoyan sighed.

In the Fang Mansion, everyone held a meeting to discuss.

Fang Yuan was the core of this family, and everyone couldn't tolerate Fang Yuan being slandered.

Princess Xiangcheng attended the meeting and also spoke enthusiastically, putting forward her own opinions and so on.

But if you want to solve this public opinion, you must cover it with another public opinion, or explain it clearly.

"I can't explain it."

"Think about if there is any more shocking news to overcome."

Fang Yuan said in a deep voice.

Originally, when he was in Hebei, Fang Yuan didn't want to show his face too much, just worried that there would be too many people.

But I never thought that in the end, it would attract such terrible public opinion.

Someone must have been secretly guiding.

But if it's not five surnames and seven hopes, it can't be done.

"Why don't you launch bicycles and tricycles?"

The giant suggested.

Now, the Mojia Research Institute has a lot of good things.

Among them, bicycles and tricycles have been manufactured, but they have not yet been fully launched.

"It's a method."

"Another newspaper instead of billboards."

Fang Yuan thought for a while and said.

The introduction of explosive novelties and newspapers should be able to change some public opinion.

"I'll get it tomorrow."

The giant nodded solemnly.

"Also, start building roads and community houses!"

Fang Yuan said in a deep voice.

He decided to start changing the structure of Chang'an City and began to overhaul roads and residential houses.

Now Fang Yuan is Tobe Terra, and he has a certain right to use the money of the imperial court.

Then it will be zoned to the construction of roads and communities, making money for the court and for yourself.

"I asked Liao Fengmao from Liaozhou to come over?"

Du Miaoyan said.

Many talents in Fang Yuan's hands are still in Liaozhou.

Some have come, some are still running back and forth.

The cement needed to build roads and the red bricks for building residential areas are mainly in Liaozhou.

"Yes."

Fang Yuan said.

Afterwards, the group continued to deliberate, and more ideas were proposed.

Next.

The Mojia Research Institute launched bicycles and tricycles in lively streets.

Black bikes and tricycles were a surprise when they appeared.

People don't know what these two things are used for, but they know that what flows out of the Mohist Academy is a good thing.

Nowadays, saltpeter ice making is no secret, it is spread by the Mojia Research Institute.

There are also soft beds, cement roads, red bricks, toilets, etc., all of which are pushed out of the Mojia Research Institute.

So smart people know that the things of the Mojia Research Institute are good things.

So there were a lot of onlookers.

"It's called a bicycle, and it can be compared to a horse, but it's not as fast as a horse, but it's definitely more convenient than a horse."

"It doesn't need to be fed, you just need to ride it, practice for a few days, and you'll be able to use it."

Zhou Shi personally came to publicize.

Point to the bicycle.

After his introduction, he easily got on his bike and started riding.

"Wow, what kind of artifact is this?"

"It's much better to be able to walk with your feet on it than to walk, right?"

"Look at his speed, he is much faster than us walking, and it is not possible to go to a farther place without a horse in the future?"

People were all shocked, and their eyes lit up.

They had never seen such a strange thing, and they knew the convenience of it by looking at Zhou Shi's use.

"It's a tricycle, and as you can see, it's one more foot and one more groove than a bike."

"It's more stable than a bike, so you don't have to worry about falling when you make contact, but it's not as fast as a bike."

"This trough can be used to carry things, people, etc., which is very convenient."

Zhou Shi rode a lap back.

Once again, I would like to introduce it to the people present.

It is also used in front of everyone present.

"Are these bicycles and tricycles launched for sale?"

In the crowd, someone asked.

Everyone looked at Zhou Shi curiously and expectantly.

The people of Chang'an City are not very poor, and after many factories were set up around Chang'an City, they made money faster.

For people who have spare money, they all want to give bicycles and tricycles a try, and they all wonder if they can buy them back.

"It's for sale!"

"But I won't sell it today, just give you a try to see if you need it."

Zhou Shi smiled and said.

The purpose of the introduction of bicycles and tricycles is to reduce the public opinion of Fang Yuan.

So don't buy it on the first day, make a name for yourself first, and let more people's attention shift here.

"I'll try!"

In the crowd, someone suddenly shouted.

Then several more people spoke up and stood up.

They stood up and looked at each other, and then looked at Zhou Shi, meaning which of them would try?

"You can try it."

"We have a total of 20 bicycles and 20 tricycles this time, and anyone who wants to try it can stand up."

Zhou Shi said with a smile.

Let the tarpaulin be turned over to reveal the hidden bicycles and tricycles.

This time, more colorful bicycles and tricycles were revealed.

"I'll try it too!"

"I'll try it too!"

More people participated.

"If you want to participate, please register your information."

Zhou Shilang said.

Have them take out their identity token and register it on a blank piece of paper.

Only those who have registered can try to prevent them from stealing the bicycle or tricycle.

Soon people started trying cycling.

But soon, someone lost his balance and fell to the ground.

Fortunately, with the help and guidance of Zhou Shi and the security guards on the scene, they quickly mastered how to use it.

It didn't take long for strange phenomena to appear everywhere in Chang'an City.

Someone sits on something strange and can move just by using their legs, and the speed can vary in speed.

Such a strange phenomenon instantly attracted many people, who all inquired about what it was, and even ran to Zhou Shi's exhibition place.

With the introduction of bicycles and tricycles, there has been a lot less negative discussion about Fang Yuan.

Palace.

Li Shimin learned about the situation outside.

He also knows who is spreading the negative news from Fang Yuan.

At this time, he was summoning Tang Jian, the head of the household department.

"Well done, what do you think?"

Li Shimin beckoned Tang Jian to sit down and asked.

"Your Majesty knows my temperament and likes to be lazy."

"Recently, I feel like I'm dying, and I want to go back to my hometown at the end of my life."

Tang Jian said sneeringly.

His laziness is known to the entire court.

But fortunately, there were no accidents in Tobe, so he has been fine.

"I see you'll have many years to live."

Li Shimin looked at Tang Jian seriously and teased.

"The doctor has already shown the minister, and the minister really doesn't have much time."

Tang Jian said with relief.

After most of his life, he is also a very good minister, and he has no regrets.

"Would you like to ask Dr. Sun to take a look?"

Li Shimin frowned and said with a solemn expression.

He thought Tang Jian was joking, but now it doesn't seem to be like this.

Although Tang Jian was lazy, he was still very good at doing things, and Li Shimin couldn't bear to watch him leave.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, but it's not necessary."

Tang Jian refused.

He was already pessimistic, and felt that Sun Simiao was useless.

"Who do you think would be better to take your place?"

Li Shimin opened his mouth and finally asked about business.

The position of the head of the household is very important and cannot be missing.

And each of the household department books can be recommended by the previous one.

But whether it will succeed or not, it depends on whether the emperor gives face.

"Cui Zhentang can."

"He has old experience, and his qualifications are enough, and he can manage the household department very well when the old minister is not in the household department."

Tang Jian said without hesitation.

"You didn't hesitate at all."

Li Shimin laughed.

Although it seemed casual, he was no longer satisfied.

Now is the time when the secret battle with the five surnames and Qiwangming is very fierce, and their people are arranged in such an important position, how can they fight with them?

"Your Majesty wants to talk about Fang Yuan?"

"He's very good, but he's too young, not qualified, and he's in the middle of the crowd."

Tang Jian heard that Li Shimin was a little dissatisfied, and after thinking about it, he shook his head and said.

Fang Yuan also thought about it, but he only thought about it, and then there was no more.

After all, Fang Yuan was too young and rose too fast, so it was not suitable to rise up now.

"You're right."

"Go back, I'll respect your advice."

Li Shimin didn't say much, waved his hand.

"The old minister retired."

Tang Jian saluted Li Shimin and then left.

The imperial study soon fell silent, but Li Shimin was no longer in the mood to correct the recitals.

Tang Jian's resignation did not make him sad, but the new candidate for the head of the household department gave him a headache.

Let Cui Zhentang take the position, then his goal will be more difficult to achieve.
