Chapter 418: Official Reinstatement, and the Impact of Inflation
Fang Yuan and Li Shimin chatted for a long time before leaving the imperial study.
Out of the imperial study, Fang Yuan did not leave the palace, but went to the household department.
In the past half a year, the household department has piled up a lot of official documents, and Fang Yuan's desk is full.
If it weren't for Fang Qingping who had dealt with more than half of it, Fang Yuan would have more official documents now.
Now, with the support of Fang Yuan, Fang Qingping is already the right servant of the household.
Zuo Shilang is still Gao Shilian.
He was only suspended, not dismissed.
Now more than half a year has passed, and neither Gao Shilian nor the eldest grandson Wuji have been officially reinstated.
This is incredible for all the ministers of the court, after all, both of them are relatives of His Majesty.
But because of this, the ministers also became more serious in their work, and they didn't dare to slack off, nor did they dare to mess around, for fear of following in the footsteps of the eldest grandson Wuji.
Fang Yuan stepped into the household department with the front foot, and the officials from the household department on the back foot greeted Fang Yuan one after another.
They all knew about what had happened in Fang Yuan's half-year outing, and they admired the boss of themselves and the others.
Coupled with Fang Yuan's status and status as a national prince, the awe was even heavier, and no one in the household did not dare to disobey Fang Yuan's orders.
"Let's get busy, the official still has to read the official documents."
Fang Yuan asked them to go to work separately, and they didn't need to stay here for too long.
He doesn't have much to do with the doctrine of implementation, as long as every order is given on time and qualified.
The officials slowly dispersed, and Qingping was left to report to Fang Yuan again what had happened in the household department during Fang Yuan's absence in Chang'an City.
"According to what you say, the eldest grandson Wuji and Gao Shilian will soon be reinstated?"
After listening to Fang Qingping's report, Fang Yuan frowned slightly.
Fang Qingping said that during this time, Changsun Wuji and Gao Shilian were not idle.
An issue that was actively pushed to the rebellion in Shandong, which finally returned to calm completely last month.
One often goes into the palace to find the queen, or to find the king of Wei and the king of Jin, and spends most of the day in the palace.
With such a heavy load, it is estimated that the emperor will soon reinstate them as officials.
After all, a meritorious service, a person who is always running around the palace, has to give an explanation.
"Xia Guan also thinks so."
Fang Qingping said.
"Let it be."
Fang Yuan thought for a moment and said with a smile.
Whether it is Gao Shilian or the eldest grandson Wuji, neither of them is very easy to dismount.
It's like Li Chengqian, who made mistakes again and again, but in the end, he was demoted out of Chang'an City as a last resort.
"Yes."
Fang Qingping said yes respectfully, and then left.
Fang Yuan sat in his position and paused for a moment, then shook his head with a smile and ignored it again.
He still has a lot of things to do, and the pile of twists and turns in front of him needs to be corrected by him personally.
None of the household servants can be corrected, and only his household books can be corrected, which shows how important these official documents are.
Normally, if the Tobu Shangshu is not there, these recitals will be corrected by the Tobu Shilang, or submitted to the emperor for correction.
But Li Shimin didn't accept it, nor did he ask Fang Qingping to correct it, but let these folds be put aside and wait for Fang Yuan to come back and correct them.
On this day, Fang Yuan was so tired that his back hurt, and he relaxed a little when he was about to get off work, stretching and preparing to get off work.
As soon as the tea was brewed, before he could taste the tea in a hurry, the eunuch Wang De walked in with a smile.
"Fang Shangshu, I'm sorry to disturb you."
Wang De walked into Fang Yuan's office with a smiling face.
"Princess, what kind of wind is blowing you here?"
Fang Yuan was a little surprised and got up to greet him.
He has only come out of the imperial study not long ago, and the emperor has no reason to call himself again, right?
"Your Majesty asked the villain to inform Fang Shangshu that Gao Shilian will be reinstated tomorrow, and you can arrange someone to tidy up Gao Shilian's office."
Wang De said with a smile.
The smile seemed to be a little flattering.
"Tomorrow?"
"I know."
Fang Yuan's brows furrowed slightly.
took a deep look at Wang De, and then nodded knowingly.
The emperor asked Wang De to come over in person to inform him, presumably to appease his dissatisfaction.
Otherwise, there is no need to let Wang De come over in person, any eunuch can do it.
"The villain will go back to his life first."
Wang De bowed and withdrew.
Sure enough, Gao Shilian and the eldest grandson Wuji were reinstated.
But now is different from the past, before Gao Shilian relied on his identity as a national prince, and did not give himself much face.
Now he is not only in a higher position than him, but also in the status of a national prince, and he has no place to rely on.
In this way, Fang Yuan got off work normally, and before getting off work, he asked someone to notify him that he would be reinstated on the day of the statement.
Returning to Fang Mansion, Fang Yuan began to walk the baby to let the two little ones in the family quickly get acquainted with Fang Yuan.
The night passed like this.
The next day, there was no early court, and Fang Yuan Shanshan arrived at the household department.
When he came to the household, Gao Shilian had already arrived, and there were several people who supported him.
When Fang Yuan arrived, these people immediately distanced themselves from Gao Shilian and saluted Fang Yuan in fear.
"The lower official pays a visit to Lord Shangshu."
Gao Shilian's face was slightly uncomfortable, and his movements were a little stiff.
"No courtesy."
"Gao Shilang, I haven't seen you for a long time, and the old man looks a lot haggard."
Fang Yuan said politely.
His eyes looked at Gao Shilian's body.
As Fang Yuan said, Gao Shilian looked a lot older and a lot haggard.
This is not Fang Yuan alone, but the other officials present also think so.
"It's really a lot haggard, thank you Fang Shangshu for your concern."
Gao Shilian's eyes flashed coldly, and he said.
If it weren't for Fang Yuan, he would have looked a lot haggard now.
He spent a lot of effort on Shandong's affairs before he finally calmed down the people's grievances over there.
The hard work of half a year has made him look a lot older and haggard.
"Take care of your recuperation."
Fang Yuan left only one sentence and left.
However, before leaving, Fang Yuan glanced at the few officials present.
Several officials immediately identified the card to Gao Shilian and left with Fang Yuan.
Looking at Fang Yuan's back, Gao Shilian's face slowly sank, and his eyes were gloomy.
This is to give himself a horse, tell yourself that the household department is already under his control, don't be uninteresting.
He was suspended for half a year, Fang Yuan also left for half a year, and both of them were not in the household department for half a year.
But although Fang Yuan was not in the household department, what he did outside greatly gave the household department and Datang a face, and his status naturally rose.
In addition, Fang Yuan is still a national prince, and it is estimated that it will not be easy to win a certain right to speak in the household department in the future.
The other side.
The eldest grandson Wuji was also reinstated.
Compared with Gao Shilian's, the entire ministry welcomed his return.
He is the secretary of the ministry, and the officials are under his control, who dares not to give him face?
At this point, the uncle and nephew were officially reinstated.
Households.
Fang Yuan didn't have the heart to pay attention to Gao Shilian and the eldest grandson Wuji.
He is also correcting official documents today, but he has the leisure time to investigate the problem of inflation.
Lu Xia of Huaxia Money Village was called to inquire about the situation as soon as possible, and asked her to investigate the number of banknotes printed and other things.
For two days.
Fang Yuan finally completed the correction of the official document.
In order to investigate the problem of inflation, Fang Yuan personally went to the grassroots level.
The so-called grassroots level is actually shopping as an ordinary person.
But there were too many people who knew Fang Yuan in Chang'an City, so Fang Yuan went directly out of the city to the county seat next door.
Xinfeng County, the county next door to Chang'an City.
Because of its proximity to the imperial capital, Xinfeng County has also developed quite well.
Fangyuan's Bafang Group has a lot of industries here, and there are more roads here than in Chang'an City.
On this trip, Fang Yuan brought Du Miaoyan and Su Ziqing out, and the two sons were lost to the nurse at home.
"Husband, is there a lot of our family's property in Xinfeng County?"
Su Ziqing didn't know much about the other party's family.
A lot of things are heard about and not touched.
Those things are in Du Miaoyan's hands, not in her hands.
Fang Yuan didn't say that he wanted to share part of it with Su Ziqing, so Du Miaoyan didn't take the initiative to give it.
"The red brick factory and the cement factory are both in Xinfeng County."
Fang Yuan couldn't remember how many industries were here.
But the red brick and cement plant is in Xinfeng County, which is convenient for the transfer of Chang'an City.
Now Chang'an City has created two communities, and people have moved in one after another, and they are continuing to build others.
The high community is liked by many people, but there are still many people who don't like it, but Fang Yuan didn't mind and let people develop living measures.
Once the living measures are up, then the community housing will be even more hot.
"Two important factories are here."
Su Ziqing's eyes lit up slightly, revealing envious eyes.
I heard that the employees of these two factories have exceeded three thousand, which is a large number.
With such a large factory and so many people in management, how much economy does it have to drive.
Du Miaoyan mastered such a large factory, which is really enviable, and he also wants to be in charge.
Fang Yuan was thinking about going back to her, but at this time, three dejected young men came up to him.
Looking at their blue clothes, coupled with the three words red brick factory on their chests, Fang Yuan knew that they were employees of the red brick factory.
"How many, how many brothers, are you employees of the Red Brick Factory?"
Fang Yuan stopped in front of them and asked politely.
"Is there anything wrong with you?"
Several people looked Fang Yuan up and down, puzzled.
Seeing that Fang Yuan was dressed gorgeously, several people were more polite, but they still maintained a sense of pride.
In Xinfeng County, those who can work in red brick factories and cement factories are highly respected.
"I heard that the monthly salary and welfare of the employees of the red brick factory are very good, and the employees are very happy."
"But looking at your appearance, it doesn't seem to be the same thing, can you tell me about the situation?"
Fang Yuan asked politely.
As he spoke, he took out a hundred-yuan Datang treasure bill from his hand.
Although Fang Yuan's trip was to check on inflation, he also wanted to ask about the situation when he encountered problems with the factory.
Both the red brick factory and the cement factory are the forerunners of this era, and the welfare of the employees inside can be said to be at the forefront.
If the employees inside feel unhappy, if it's an external problem, it's fine, but if it's an internal problem, it has to be rectified.
"I'll talk about that."
The three employees looked at each other, and finally the middle-aged man in the middle took the treasure money and put it in his arms.
"The three of us are actually no longer employees of the red brick factory, and we were still the same before today."
"In the morning, the three of us and a couple of workers went to the supervisor to talk about a pay increase, and then the three of us were fired as representatives."
The three of them said with a sigh.
The three of them were expelled for being representatives.
And those who went with them to ask for a salary increase were deducted for half a month to a month.
Therefore, the three of them walked down the street with their heads down, their eyes full of loneliness.
"A raise?"
"Isn't it very good to pay the monthly salary in the red brick factory now?"
Fang Yuan asked puzzled.
Now the monthly salary of the red brick factory is quite high, and it is almost 100 a month.
In addition, there are subsidies for food and housing, which is very humane.
It is indeed excessive to ask for a salary increase, but it is even more excessive to dismiss people.
"It's good, but now the prices outside have also risen."
"Usually a penny for a baked cake, but now it costs two pennies, and our monthly salary has not yet risen."
"Originally, the three of us just wanted to ask if we would get a salary increase, but I didn't expect to be fired directly, it's really true"
The three of them said, their eyes a little rosy.
"I usually burn a cake for a penny, but now I want two pennies?!"
Fang Yuan frowned.
Is the price increase so exaggerated, it has doubled.
"yes."
"Not only the baked cakes, but also other things have risen a lot."
"We all want to support our families, so naturally we want to have a higher monthly income."
The three of them sighed.
In the face of being expelled, they despaired.
Without this job, it will be difficult for the family to live in the future.
"I have something to do with the red brick factory, you are with me, how about I let you go back to the red brick factory?"
Fang Yuan thought for a while and said.
He wanted to know what the situation was in the red brick factory now, and whether the employees would be fired if they raised some opinions?
If it's too much to ask, then it's okay to say, but if it's just to give an opinion and be fired, Fang Yuan won't allow it.
He wants a long-term red brick factory, not a monopoly by some people.
"Really, really?"
The eyes of the three of them widened, and they couldn't believe what Fang Yuan said.
"Follow me and you'll find out."
Fang Yuan smiled.
Set off with Du Miaoyan and Su Ziqing.
Both the red brick factory and the cement factory are on the outskirts of Xinfeng County, but they are not far from here.
The three of them looked at each other, and immediately followed the source.
Among them, the hundred-yuan treasure banknote that had just received the source was taken out and returned to Fang Yuan.
But Fang Yuan didn't accept it, and still let them take it.
It didn't take long for Fang Yuan and the others to come to the gate of the red brick factory.
Like the research institute, the design of the red brick factory is surrounded, one in and out.
The gate has a guardrail, the kind used in war, and it is only open when commuting to and from work.
When Fang Yuan arrived, the guardrail was closed, and there were two temporary security guards standing at the door.
The temporary security guards meant those who were recruited separately in Xinfeng County, not those trained by Fang Yuan.
"Who's coming?"
"We don't welcome idle people waiting here!"
The security guard standing guard shouted.
"I'm Fang Yuan, the head of the household department, let your factory director come to see me."
Fang Yuan said indifferently.
When the words fell, the two temporary security guards standing guard and the three employees of the former red brick factory were immediately not calm, and their eyes widened at Fang Yuan, full of disbelief.
"You, you wait, I'll go and report."
The two security guards stood guard and looked at each other and said tremblingly.
Among them, one person left, and the other opened the guardrail for Fang Yuan.
