Royal Gold Magistrate

The departure of the Beirong mission from Beijing is naturally a major event.

Fangzheng felt that Paba was okay!able!

After preparing for two days and getting some small gifts, I rushed to the Honglu Hotel.

At this time, many high-ranking officials and nobles gathered in the yard of Honglu Guest House.

It's not that they attach too much importance to the Beirong mission, it's just a symbolic courtesy.

Most of the people left here after simply exchanging pleasantries.

Only a few remained.

Chen Hong, Minister of Honglu Temple, and Zhang Shi, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, were among them, and there were a group of small officials beside them who didn't know what to say.

When Fang Zhengyi arrived with several reporters, Lu Fa and the prince, everyone immediately saluted Li Yuanzhao.

Even Papa cut off the pleasantries.

Zhang Shi squinted his eyes and looked at Fang Zhengyi, his teeth itching with hatred.

This bastard!How dare you blatantly fuck your own son in the examination room!

There was actually a shit stamp printed on the roll!

The only examination paper with a stamp in the Gongyuan in the capital was his son's!

Fortunately, the other examiners had winks and guessed it.

In addition, His Majesty has a decree, so this stamp did not take effect.

Zhang Chang is also quite competitive, and barely made it to the list, but his strength should not be the last one at all!

As a result, now my son can't do anything outside!

The outsider didn't say anything, but his demeanor said everything.

A household secretary, his son did so poorly in the exam...it's unimaginable.

In the court, this guy is like a tortoise who can't find any loopholes, it's really difficult...

When Paba saw Fangzheng coming, he immediately greeted him with a smile, and said enthusiastically, "Brother Fang, long time no see."

With so many people, you call me Brother Fang?

Fangzheng smiled bluntly: "Yeah, I've been very busy recently, I didn't expect Master to leave now, and I didn't stay in the capital for a while, so you can see more of my scenery!"

Paba still maintained a polite smile: "I have already been to Taoyuan County, Brother Fang, the Taoyuan County you ruled really opened my eyes...Unfortunately, I will never see such a good place again after I go back gone."

Fangzheng became vigilant in his heart.

It seems that this old guy has done a lot of homework, and he should have been investigated inside and out.

Then it's not easy to be fooled...

"Hehe, Master is just joking! Do you still remember inviting me to dinner? This time, I brought you a gift, so it's considered as repaying your meal money."

"Brother Fang, why are you being polite!?"

Fangzheng didn't answer his words, and took out a small box from his arms: "This is two catties of high-grade Tianxian tea! I'll give it to the master!"

Paba took the box, weighed it twice, and said with a smile: "Brother Fang's kindness, I will be disrespectful."

"Master, I have a heartfelt request." Fang Zheng said.

"please say."

"After staying in Beijing for so many days, you should know that there are newspapers in the capital, so...I want to find someone from your mission to interview. It can be regarded as a simple cultural exchange between the two countries. Is it possible?"

Paba looked directly at him, thinking in his mind.

After such a long investigation, this guy is definitely not an honest person!

I actually made a mistake in my judgment. Now that I want to do such a trick, will there be some tricks behind it...?

"Such trivial things, of course, I don't know who Brother Fang wants to talk to?"

Fangzheng pointed casually: "Just him, okay? In fact, anyone can do it!"

Paba looked in the direction of his finger and saw that it was an unremarkable entourage in his mission, so he nodded and said: "Yes."

Then he shouted at the man in Beirong language: "Lihan! You go with Master Fang."

"No need! Lufa, take this little brother and the reporters outside for a brief interview. I still have something to talk to the master."

Seeing this posture, Paba also felt relieved.

Fangzheng smiled faintly: "Master, they are busy with their work, let's continue."

"This time you go back, I should also give you some gifts, so I specially prepared..."

Paba looked serious: "Brother Fang, since you have already given me tea, there is no need for a gift!"

"The tea is for your meal, and the gift is for me. Master must not refuse!"

As he spoke, Fang Zhengyi took out a huge green glass bead from his bosom.

It's just that there is a small hole on the top and bottom of the glass bead.

Fangzheng brought the glass bead in front of Paba, and said mysteriously, "Master, this bead is extraordinary!"

"It looks ordinary on the outside, but inside it has nine bends and eighteen bends! Do you know how to pass a thin thread through this bead?"

Paba took the beads and studied them carefully, and could vaguely see that the inside was indeed nine bends and eighteen bends.

But why should I thread it?Why is Fang Zhengyi so out of his mind?

Is there any deep meaning in it?

After studying for a while, Paba shook his head with a wry smile and said, "I don't know, if the thin thread is hard, maybe it can pass through."

Fangzheng smiled smugly.

This is called a reversal of offense and defense!Lao Tzu came up with the question first!

"Wrong! Tie a thin thread to the body of the ant and let the ant crawl over it?"

"So that's how it is!" Paba suddenly realized, "But...does this have any meaning?"

Fangzheng twitched the corner of his mouth: "Master, you can use this to compete with others when you are on an envoy to another country! Show off your intelligence!"

"........."

"Come here! Bring my chessboard!" Fang Zheng greeted behind him.

A reporter stepped forward and handed over a chessboard. Fang Zhengyi took the chessboard and brought it in front of Paba: "This is the second gift for the master."

Paba frowned, feeling a little impatient in his heart, but he still politely replied: "Brother Fang, if I'm not mistaken, this is just an ordinary chessboard."

"That's right! It's really just a chessboard, but if I put one grain of wheat on the first grid, two grains on the second grid, four grains on the third grid, and so on, how many grains of wheat should I put in total? ?”

The corners of Paba's eyes twitched violently twice.

What is he trying to say?I can't see through it at all!

"I think... no matter what, it will cost tens of thousands of grains." Paba said in a muffled voice.

"Wrong! There is not enough food in the world!"

Paba couldn't hold back anymore, and said dumbfoundedly: "Brother Fang, what are you trying to explain? I don't understand at all!"

Fangzheng handed him the chessboard with a smile, turned to the reporter behind him and said, "Have you written it all down?"

The reporter wrote without raising his head, and replied, "I wrote it down."

Then Fangzheng looked at Papa: "Master, don't misunderstand, there is no special meaning. It is rare for our two countries to meet, so we must leave some beautiful stories!"

"I'll give you a gift, let the reporter record it, and spread it to the world, it's that simple."

I just want to be the protagonist of Yilin, bosom friend, story club, xxx magazine in the future!It's that simple!

Paba shook his head helplessly: "Brother Fang is so kind, I appreciate it."

"I heard that you recently set up a textile factory in the capital and recruited a large number of female workers. Is there such a thing?"

Fangzheng cast a glance at him: "The master is really well informed! Speaking of the future of this textile factory, maybe it is closely related to you and me?"

"In the future, maybe we will make woolen garments in a new factory. At that time, the trade routes between our two countries will be opened up. How much wool do you have, and how much wool will we charge at a high price!"

Paba's eyes lit up: "Is this true?"

"Really! Must be serious!"

Paba smiled: "Okay! Then I'm looking forward to Brother Fang coming to collect wool from our country."

"It's not too early now, I should go, so let's go!"

Fangzheng cupped his hands.

Paba turned his head and left, saying goodbye to the officials in the yard one by one.

After recalling everyone, boarded the return convoy.....

........

On the road, Chi Lie rode on the horse, giving off an incomparably majestic feeling like an iron tower.

But at this moment, he lost two points of energy.

Looking at Paba who was sleeping with his eyes closed on the carriage, he said angrily, "Master, why don't you let me go find Zhang Biao!"

"It's not necessary. If you lose, you lose. There's no shame in it." Paba slowly opened his eyes: "It's just a mess, why do you take it to heart?"

"Commerce is the big deal. King Khan urgently needs ironware. If you can build a few more Silver Wolf Riders in the next ten years, then Jingguo will be like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered. Why are you in a hurry?"

"Zhang Biao is nothing, Fang Zhengyi is the enemy!"

"Floods in Jianjiang, food disasters, killing of corrupt officials, Taoyuan County, Banshanfang... this person can be regarded as a minister of the humerus."

After he said this, Chi Lie's attention was immediately diverted: "I remember you said that this person is an outlier in the officialdom. Since he is so capable, why should he be excluded?"

Paba laughed: "This is Dajing officialdom! Infighting!"

"You don't understand! No matter how many achievements he has made, it is useless. As long as he is in the court, the rest of his colleagues will think that his achievements are made by relying on the court."

"In other words, in the eyes of his colleagues, without the court, he is nothing. Even if Fang Zheng does something, deep down in their hearts, they will think that it is just luck, it's as simple as that."

Chi Lie frowned: "How is it possible, are all Jing Guo ministers blind?"

"The authorities are obsessed! Of course, they can't all be blind."

Chi Lie thought for a moment: "Then... can the things you left in the guest house still be useful?"

"The people of Jingguo are very cunning. They will definitely see it, especially when Zhang Shi is present. It's no secret that he and Fang Zhengyi are at odds."

"After half a day, remember to find someone to get back the things we left behind. As for what kind of trouble it will cause...it depends on God's will." Paba said calmly, suddenly remembered something, and shouted towards the convoy in front: "Lihan! Come here!"

Lihan, who was accompanying the convoy in front, immediately ran to Paba's side.

"Master, what are your orders?"

"When Fangzheng asked you to go out with the reporters just now, what did you say to them, learn from me exactly!"

"I didn't say anything, just let me say a few words of blessing to the people in the capital in my hometown dialect, and then let me say it again in Dajing dialect." Lihan tilted his head, recalling the previous interview.

Then he stretched his neck, stared at him, raised his thumbs up and said in a loud voice: "We ↑ ↓ Big → View ↑ Really ↑ → Yes ↑ Too ↑ ↑ ↑ ↑, Bei Rong's barbecue is not delicious! Plus Dajing’s ingredients are delicious! I will be a Dajing person in my next life!”

"Slap!!" A swift and fierce slap flew towards Lihan's face.

Lihan only felt that his eyes were full of gold stars, and for a moment his world was only buzzing...

His vision slowly recovered, and Paba watched him squeeze a word from between his teeth with a livid complexion.

"roll!!!"
