Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 889 News from the Imperial Court

Fang Jun wants to keep Sun Cheng'en for dinner. He is very willing to get close to this kind of official who can consider the common people.But Sun Chengen was already on fire, so he politely declined Fang Jun's invitation, bluntly saying that he would go back to count the families in the county who were interested in buying fishing boats, and then ask the Royal Bank for a loan.

Everyone knows the principle of striking while the iron is hot. After all, Fang Jun still bears the title of "the number one dude in Guanzhong". It is said that this is an unreliable stick, and his cash is very good today. I won't regret it.

If so, Sun Chengen felt that he might cry to death...

Fang Jun didn't do much to persuade him to stay, and told him that the people must be voluntary, and that the people should not be forced to borrow money in the name of the government.

Sun Chengen swears to the sky that he will strictly supervise the officials in the county, and he will definitely not let that good thing become a bad thing.

Fang Jun was already mentally prepared.

It is said that there are policies at the top and countermeasures at the bottom. No matter how good the policy is, some people will take advantage of it to make profits for themselves.However, if the water is clear, there will be no fish. As long as the policy is not overdone and the policy can be implemented to benefit the majority of the people, that is enough.

If you want officials at all levels to be dedicated to serving the people, self-denial and dedication to public service, then you can only pursue the legendary Utopia...

But today is destined to be a non-stop day. As soon as Sun Chengen left, soldiers came to report, and Suzhou Governor Mu Yuanzuo came to visit...

Fang Jun had to meet each other.

Mu Yuanzuo stepped on the warship, and as soon as he saw Fang Jun, he immediately poured out bitter water.

Fang Jun could only smile awkwardly...

Speaking of which, this current situation is all caused by Fang Jun.

On Fang Jun's memorial to the emperor, Mu Yuanzuo's name was signed, which is equivalent to sharing the "credit".His Majesty Li Er was really awesome, he directly gave the title of Ninth-Rank Founding County Male, envious of others!
As we all know, apart from the civil servants and generals who went out to found the country, it is even more difficult to obtain the title of the imperial court nowadays.There are only a handful of people who have been promoted to Marquis at such a young age like Fang Jun, which can be described as an odd number among the odd numbers. Besides, what Fang Jun relies on is not Jane's holy family in the heart of the emperor, but his real meritorious service!

Mu Yuanzuo's Jiupin County man was picked for nothing. Although everyone knew the inside story, they still couldn't help being envious and jealous!Ever since, the expected storm came, even more violent than imagined...

Not to mention the imperial impeachment memorial, after all, with the help of the emperor and Fang Xuanling to suppress it, the pressure was less.Even his relatives and friends said one by one that he destroyed humanity for the sake of power and progress, and slaughtered a clan of hairpins.Even if the crime of treason by the Gu family has been confirmed, and even the remaining men and women of the Gu family were escorted to the capital, they couldn't wait until Qiuhou, and they were convicted by the three courts after a joint trial, and they were beheaded in Xishi directly!But all kinds of slanderous words are still coming in, slandering Mu Yuanzuo's reputation to nothing...

"Master Hou, you have suffered a lot from the lower officials!"

When Mu Yuanzuo met, he complained all the time.

The Governor of Shangzhou and the Marquis of Jianguo County both belonged to the third grade. The chief executive has great power but no rank. It is a temporary position. However, Fang Jun still has the status of a son-in-law. is inappropriate.

But the governor's character is not very noble, and there is not much integrity left. Otherwise, even if Fang Jun wants to blame him, he can directly write a letter stating that this matter has nothing to do with me, and the General Secretary will naturally spread the news. If you go out, there will be no such thing as impeachment by hundreds of officials.

I want to eat fish, but I'm afraid of getting fishy, ​​that's what it says...

So Fang Jun despised him deeply.

However, there is an obedient Suzhou governor who is in Fang Jun's interests, so he can only endure this guy's shameless face, and persuade him insincerely: "Mr. Mu is indeed troubled now, but His Majesty sees everything you do, remember In my heart. Is it not your majesty who has the final say on this majestic empire? As the saying goes, when the sky is about to send a great mission to a person, he must first suffer from his will, exhaust his muscles and bones, starve his body and skin, empty his body, and disturb his actions. So be tempted to be patient, Zeng Yi can't do anything... your good days are yet to come."

Why don't you get cheap from me and pretend to be good, you have already calculated the pros and cons for eight hundred times in your heart, you old fox can do things that are not beneficial?
Mu Yuanzuo was a little embarrassed, and changed the subject and said: "You just flung your sleeves and left without saying a word. As a result, His Majesty's edict came right after, inviting you to return to Beijing to report on your duties. I have no choice but to chase here. Lord Hou, please give me instructions, what should I do?"

Only then did Fang Jun notice that Mu Yuanzuo's address to himself had changed from "Chief Manager" to "Lord Marquis", and he frowned slightly, and asked, "Who will take over the position of Chief Manager of this Marquis?"

Mu Yuanzuo gave a thumbs up: "Master Hou is indeed Linglong's sweetheart, you guessed it before the official said it!"

Fang Jun was speechless, isn't this person too shameless?
This flattery is too substandard, okay?

Then he snorted coldly: "Say something quickly."

"Yes, yes, yes," Mu Yuanzuo quickly put away his flattering face. Since he boarded Fang Jun's boat, he could only follow him to Hei, otherwise, if Fang Jun threw him down halfway, he would That's the difference between inside and outside, what a big loss!
"The last edict only mentions that you should return to Beijing to report on your work, and then Zhang Liang will take over your position as chief executive. There is nothing else."

Mu Yuanzuo didn't care about it.

As long as the Royal Navy is still controlled by Fang Jun and Huating Town is still Fang Jun's fiefdom, that's enough.So what if Zhang Liang became the general manager of the Canghai Road March?Others don't know, but he, Mu Yuanzuo, knows very well that Fang Jun has emptied the Chief Executive's Mansion a long time ago, that is, the houses in the backyard of the Town Office that belong to the Chief Executive's Mansion were all built in Huating Town On the ground, as long as Fang Jun is in a bad mood that day, the chief manager's mansion has to move honestly...

Furthermore, even if Zhang Liang is the Duke of the state, what waves can you find on Fang Jun's land?
Fang Jun understood.

Rather than catching up to read the edict, Mu Yuanzuo came here to test his ideas, or to get some hints about what to do and what not to do.

Well, very good, it has the potential of being a dog leg, and it is worth cultivating...

He was relieved, but the generals immediately went crazy!

Liu Renyuan stared at him angrily: "What? How can he, Zhang Liang, be able to take over the position of chief executive of Lord Hou? Grandma's bear, Lord Hou, let's go back and show him the bastard, let him know what the end of Huating Town is! Whose territory is it!"

Xi Junmai is training soldiers outside. If he were here, he would be the first to agree with Liu Renyuan. Both of them are loyal to Fang Jun, and Fang Jun has been wronged, so he will naturally go back!
Both Liu Rengui and Xue Rengui were calm, although they were no less loyal to Fang Jun than those two, and they also disapproved of Zhang Liang's succession in their hearts, but they did not go along with Liu Renyuan's nonsense.

It's useless to talk too much, Fang Jun is here, he said to fight, so let's just fight, why bother?

Mu Yuanzuo was taken aback, what an ancestor!Why do you think there are too few things to do?

Quickly said: "Be safe, don't be impatient, be safe and don't be impatient! Before I came, I met Su Dudu, Su Dudu asked me to bring a message to Lord Hou, saying that everything is under control, please feel free to travel around the world , to promote my Tang Guowei and Fanbang foreign lands, as long as he is there, Zhang Liang will not be able to play tricks!"

For Su Dingfang, Liu Renyuan admired him sincerely. He said that if there is no problem, then it must be no problem, and then he stopped.

Fang Jun thought for a while and said: "Since the imperial court has made an arrangement, we just have to follow it. You don't need to take care of Zhang Liang's side, Su Ding will deal with it, but you are a lot of help in Huating Town, especially the laborers from all over the place. You need to pay more attention to the recruitment, the population of Huating Town is too small, and the development is too slow! If you have something, you can directly discuss it with Pei Xingjian."

Since Mu Yuanzuo came after him to "show his loyalty", he naturally had to explain himself.

Mu Yuanzuo's eyelids twitched.

He has no opinion on other things. Fang Jun has too many capable people. Not to mention the fierce generals in front of him. Su Dingfang and Pei Xingjian are both capable of writing and military. His subordinates are loyal, which shows Fang Jun's way of controlling others, which is very rare.

Mu Yuanzuo disagreed only with Fang Jun's statement that "the population is too small and the development is too slow".

How big is Huating Town?

The area is less than a hundred miles away, and the population is now no less than 5. You still say "the population is too small"?One must know that the wretched place in Huating Town does not produce a single grain of grain!

As for "development is too slow", Mu Yuanzuo has been unable to complain.

How much employment and wealth will it bring as long as the Shibo starts to operate?
How much is it worth to lay the keels of sea ships one after another in the dock of Jiangnan Shipyard?

Not to mention the salt fields by the sea that make everyone jealous...

You are still not satisfied with this, are you planning to build another Chang'an City or what?
