Chapter 162: Surprise
"But if Your Majesty has been so reckless and trusting him, won't we just be able to watch that guy do something wrong?"
Tang Yue, the left attendant of the military department, frowned, and said with a gloomy face:
"Elder Yan Ge, that Lu Chen is a dead brain, he doesn't have any overall situation at all, he only relies on his ridiculous knowledge and preferences for good and evil, and he never cares about the consequences, just like this time, he actually supports the reform of the Holy King in a clear way!"
"Who doesn't know that Emperor Taizu Hongwu's national policy of supporting the clan has brought huge financial pressure to the imperial court, but this kind of problem just needs to find ways to increase the revenue of the treasury? Why such a drastic restructuring? ”
"Now the financial pressure of the household department is small, but the problems brought by the new system are countless times more serious than the financial problems, the world of Daxia is ruled by the emperor and the monks after all, and now the new system is out, the people are certainly stable, but it leads to the monks gradually detached from the court, once it reaches that point, Daxia will inevitably overturn, and I and other Yongchu courtiers will become the sinners of the Great Xia Dynasty through the ages!"
At the mention of the new system, he suddenly sighed heavily.
"The people of Great Xia are very bitter, everyone knows this, but the foundation and future of Great Xia lie in the monks, no matter how hard they are, they can't be bitter to the monks, as for the people, can those Qianshou who don't even have spiritual roots still be able to turn the sky upside down? As long as the monks' hearts are towards the court, they will never be able to achieve any climate, so there is no need to worry at all. ”
"Sacrificing the interests of the monks for the sake of the people is putting the cart before the horse, then Lu Chen doesn't even understand such a simple truth, but he is in a high position, he is favored by His Majesty, and now he has bewitched His Majesty, if he is allowed to act so recklessly, my Great Xia Millennium Society will definitely be destroyed in his hands!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone was silent.
All of you here are people of insight who are now in high positions.
Lu Chen's harm, without Tang Yue's reminder, they also knew it clearly.
Officialdom cannot tolerate such an alternative existence, otherwise there will be no peace in this eternal court.
There are already signs of this.
But the emperor was so bent on pampering him that he couldn't listen to persuasion at all, so what could they do?
If they miss this God-given opportunity, will they have a chance to bring down this scourge in the future?
After a while, everyone looked at Yan Song in unison.
"Rest easy."
Yan Song still looks calm and relaxed, and even has leisure to teach everyone.
"You are all ministers of the country, people of insight, how can you be so impatient? You must know that the rhythm is high and low, the bowstring is relaxed, and your original intention of wanting to eliminate harm for the country is good, but you must also pay attention to the rhythm, and do not rush to do things, otherwise it will leave flaws, and eventually it will backfire. ”
"If you are in a hurry, you will change."
Tang Yue took a deep breath, and then arched his hand towards Yan Song.
"Thank you for the teachings of the elder pavilion, the lower officials are a little impatient."
"Huh."
Yan Song chuckled very kindly.
"You really don't need to be so anxious, the current situation is quite favorable for you."
Hearing this, everyone's eyes couldn't help but light up.
Zheng Zhong arched his hand and said, "Please Yan Ge Lao speak clearly." ”
"Hmm."
Yan Song bowed slightly, and then said unhurriedly:
"Actually, this matter, since Chen Du Yushi took out the backtracking spirit stone, Lu Chen's fate has been doomed."
"Whether Your Majesty approves of Lu Chen's crime or not, it is an obvious fact that Lu Chen has a great relationship with Chai Hongyu, the anti-thief general, there is ironclad evidence such as retrospective images in hand, as well as the appearance of Yuzhou righteous people, plus some corroboration, Lu Chen is speechless, no matter how strong Your Majesty is, it is impossible to block the mouths of countless subjects in the world."
Hearing this, everyone immediately fell into deep thought.
After a while, Yan Song said again: "The court of Great Xia can't tolerate thieves after all, as long as Your Majesty cares about the Jiangshan Sheji handed down from her ancestors, cares about the prestige of the imperial court, and cares about the dignity of the national law, no matter how much she favors Lu Chen, she has to compromise." ”
"And what you have to do is to gather momentum."
Gathering momentum......
Everyone present was human spirit, and as soon as Yan Song said this, they quickly reacted, and their eyes flashed.
"When the general trend comes, at that time, unless Chai Hongyu dies, shows up in person, throws herself into the net, and proves Lu Chen's innocence, no one will be able to save Lu Chen."
Yan Song said very easily, his right hand was still tapping lightly on the armrest of the Taishi chair rhythmically, looking calm and relaxed.
"But this glimmer of life is impossible at all, is it?"
As soon as the words fell, a light laugh suddenly sounded in the Wenyuan Pavilion.
……………
Yuzhou, Ping County.
At the entrance of the county office.
"Lord Fang, please stay."
A businessman dressed in brocade clothes and with a big belly bowed his hand to Fang Yu, who was dressed in a county robe in front of him and had a kind face, and said very humbly:
"The adult sent here is already tormenting the villain, if you send it again, the villain can't afford it, if you let your peers know, they will definitely poke the villain's backbone!"
After a pause, he said again: "Lord Fang, you not only opened up the context for us and other foreign businessmen to enter Pingxian County, so that I would not be suppressed by local profiteers, but also formulated various decrees to facilitate our businessmen. ”
Fang Yu smiled slightly.
"Su Yuan's foreign words are heavy."
As he spoke, he did not go any further, but stopped in place.
"When the official took office, the people's livelihood in Pingxian County withered, the county was dilapidated, the treasury was empty and abnormal, the local wealthy businessmen raised prices for the rich and unkind, and the wealthy gentry sat back and watched the people starve and cold, freezing to death on the roadside.
"Anyone who contributes to the development of Ping County deserves the respect and courtesy of this official."
Hearing this, Su Youcai couldn't help but think of when he came to Pingxian and was about to go to Suizhou the next day to do business in Suizhou, where the suppression of foreign merchants was not so serious, when he saw Fang Yu for the first time, he wore the official uniform of the Qipin County Order and walked around the inns, personally came to negotiate with the merchants who passed by one by one, and invited them to come to Pingxian County to develop with great sincerity, and opened up quite favorable conditions for them one by one.
Seriously, he had lived most of his life, and it was the first time he had seen a court official who was so sincere to their merchants and so devoted to the local people.
And this county order is not a white wolf with empty gloves, only saying some big truths and empty words for them to pay for money, but really giving a reward that can make their hearts move.
Give all the face, where will they hesitate?
So he, like other merchants, not only dispelled the idea of going to Suizhou, but also took out half of the coffin and pressed it on this small Pingxian County.
Even if he doesn't do the benefits promised by Fang Yu, he will also do his part for Fang Yu, a sincere and good official.
As it turned out, they made the right choice.
The goods they brought were dumped by Fang Yu to help contact colleagues in various counties, although because of the concession, the profit was a lot less, but such a fast shipping speed saved them a lot of time, and it is really hard to say whether they suffered a loss.
After all, time is too precious for a businessman.
And there is another benefit to cooperating with Fang Yu, that is, security.
Don't look at Fang Yu's appearance of Si Swenwen, in fact, he dared to single-handedly kill all the bandit dens when he had just taken office and there were no people under him, and killed all the bandit leaders, and the rest were personally escorted back to the county jail, which became the current free labor, paving the way for the government to repair bridges and atone for his crimes.
Not only Fang Yu, but the other officials who took office with Fang Yu are also extraordinary, after the reputation is beaten, those thieves are too late to avoid them, where do they dare to rob the businessmen who cooperate with them?
Therefore, now Pingxian has become the favorite place of foreign businessmen, and there are more businessmen, more exchanges, this business, is born from continuous communication, coupled with a good business atmosphere, so that Pingxian soon prospered.
And Fang Yu's talent in business can be called a ghost, after making a name for himself in Pingxian, he began to actively communicate with his colleagues, understand the situation of other counties, know which products in each county are more abundant, which products are more scarce, and constantly integrate resources, and radiate the counties through the prosperous business of Pingxian.
Today, while Pingxian County is growing, other counties are also slowly developing through prosperous commerce, and although the people are not rich, at least they will not starve to death, and even if the land has been taken away, they can barely support their families by working.
Although it is a little hard, at least there is no need to rely on the gentry and wealthy families to live as before.
It can be said that most of these changes were brought about by Fang Yu.
Compared with those so-called parent officials who are either preying on the common people or dedicating themselves to cultivation, people like Lord Fang are really good officials.
As soon as he thought of this, Su Youcai couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion, and made up his mind that after this trip, he would settle in Pingxian County in the future.
With such a good official as the county commander, he will not worry about not being able to make a fortune, and he will also be able to get respect that he can't get anywhere else.
Su Youcai bowed heavily to Fang Yu and said solemnly: "Fang County reassures you, the things you want, even if the small ones are bankrupt, they will definitely be brought to you." ”
"It doesn't have to be."
Fang Yu waved his hand.
"It's good to do what Su Yuanwai can, even if you can't get it, the official will never blame you, and will pay a loss fee, in short, you will not be busy in vain."
Hearing this, Su Youcai was immediately moved.
Is there a better place to do business than here?
No, such a good place to do business, he can't be alone, I heard that Brother Li has recently lost his backer, his business has been blocked, and he has been bullied by corrupt officials and evil gentry in Fucheng, seeking to seize family wealth, and if he doesn't run, he will have to be slaughtered as a fat sheep......
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but light up.
This way of making money, monopoly is the best, but that is only the top big man can do, although he Su Youcai is quite wealthy, but he is not qualified to engage in monopoly business, and small businessmen want to develop, either to be a lackey for the big family, or to take great risks to do business everywhere.
It is also a good way to keep warm in a group, share information with each other, and earn money together
This Ping County is obviously a very good platform.
"Lord Fang is really benevolent and righteous, and the little one admires it."
He saluted Fang Yu again, and then in Fang Yu's gentle smile, he said goodbye and left.
Looking at the back of Su Youcai leaving, Fang Yu slowly breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as things go well, not only will the living standards of the people in Pingxian County be raised to a higher level, and there will be no shortage of medical treatment or medicine in the future, but also the joint blockade and monopoly of the local wealthy businessmen and gentry in Pingxian County will be completely broken.
Don't worry about their constraints in the future.
"Your Excellency."
At this moment, a soft call suddenly sounded behind him.
Fang Yu turned his head and suddenly saw a scribe with a handful of trademark goat's whiskers walking briskly towards him.
"The county commander of Huxian has asked Lord Liyue to see me."
Hearing this, the corners of Fang Yu's mouth twitched inexplicably.
Why is this here again......
In my mind, I can't help but think that this "good sister" who always likes to tinker with some strange things came to tell him ten days ago that she had discovered a new type of material, and if it was done well, it would definitely be able to turn it into an artifact for the benefit of the country and the people.
There is no way, among the Xuanji Wei who have been sent to the counties to serve as acting county commanders, he is the fastest in making money, and once these former comrades encounter any money-related problems, the first thing that comes to mind is him, especially Liyue, the county magistrate of Huxian County, who is the closest to Ping County and spends the money the fastest, this is only five feet tall, and looks like a little girl who will never grow up and runs the most diligently.
Although Lu Chen once said that as long as it is beneficial to the people, it is the Great Dao, but he really has a hard time accepting Liyue's way of cultivating things.
But it can't be helped, who let him have a lifelong friendship with Liyue?
Should I borrow or do I have to borrow...
Thinking that the county government's bulging pockets had to be deflated a little more, Fang Yu was depressed for a while.
Shaking his head, Fang Yu looked at the scribe and asked, "Where is she now?" ”
"I'm waiting for you in the back hall of the county office."
Fang Yu bowed slightly, and then continued: "Did she say anything, or did she bring anything over?" ”
"Your Excellency has really come up with a clever plan, Liyue-sama did bring something, and said she wanted to surprise you."
Hearing this, Fang Yu's heart was like water.
Surprise? Just don't give me a big bang that almost scared me to death.
Thinking of when he was in the Holy Realm, this thing tinkered with those inexplicable powders and almost blew up the Xuanwuwei Tent, he couldn't help but be a little speechless.
"Well, I know, this official will go over ......"
As if resigned to his fate, Fang Yu sighed lightly, took steps, and walked towards the back hall of the county government with the scribe.
