Royal Gold Magistrate

"Hey! Don't talk nonsense!" Fang Zhengyi said seriously, "I am now a relative of the emperor, so don't mess around with my relatives. When did Mr. Li become my uncle?"

"Huh? I seem to have heard you say it myself...Did I remember wrong?" Xu Wenshu looked confused.

Obviously everyone said so, but Fang Zhengyi personally refuted the rumors, it can't be false, right?

"You remember wrongly. I am a relative of the emperor, how can Mr. Li be related to me?" Fangzheng's face was not red and his heart was not beating.

"Ah...the old man misremembered, I'm sorry."

"Master Xu, tell me, are you going to help me with this favor or not?" Fang Zhengyi asked.

Xu Wenshu smiled lightly: "No help."

"Scatter these things if you have the ability, the law does not blame the public, why should I be afraid of it!"

Seeing him playing a scoundrel, Fangzheng was not annoyed at all, and said with a smile: "Master Xu, don't you think that what I said in my memorial is very reasonable? This business is more important, and the profit may far exceed agriculture in the future. I abolish it." Such great effort is also for the sake of the country and the family, and for the good of the people in the world. Are you so unwilling?"

"I don't want to. In the old man's opinion, this is called making trouble for nothing. It's fine if nothing changes now. Besides, you are a little too confident. Why do you think that the commercial tax far exceeds the agricultural tax? Is it possible that you can predict Future?" Xu Wenshu said disdainfully.

Fangzheng counted with his fingers: "Don't worry, look, Taoyuan County was originally a barren land, but I built it into a prosperous city with my own hands. After entering the capital, the prince and I rebuilt Banshanfang The operation is impressive...disaster relief...opening the sea..."

"Later, gunpowder, guns, and penicillin, which one is not a fetish that shocked the world? Besides, there are Eastern Suburb University, and the Royal Academy of Sciences. I can guarantee that in the future, fetishes like gunpowder will continue to be born and spread these things to the world. The world relies on the power of commerce, and even merchants themselves will cultivate more talents for competition."

After Fangzheng finished talking one by one, he spread his hands together: "I've already been so successful, you still don't trust me?"

Xu Hongcai, who was at the side, was fascinated by what he heard, and there was a trace of admiration in his eyes when he looked at Fang Zhengyi.

I didn't expect that Mr. Fang had such a rich life experience... A man should be born like this!

Xu Wenshu was much calmer, but he still clicked his tongue secretly.

Normally, I would bow down to Fangzheng and never see him looking up, and I didn't think much of him, only that it was annoying to talk out loud.

Therefore, he didn't pay much attention to the things he did before.

Now count them out one by one...it sounds like a big deal.

Xu Wenshu sighed softly: "Lord Fang is indeed remarkable, but don't blame me for speaking too bluntly. Whoever has few times of glory in his life lists everything nicely, but failures are often not seen by anyone. What you just said is not true. I can’t explain what the problem is, why are you so radical when you are so young? What’s more, it’s not something you should be in charge of, so please go back, the old man said it all.”

Fang Zhengyi shook his head regretfully.

I knew it would not be so easy to convince someone, especially this kind of stubborn old guy.

Fortunately, I made all the preparations...

Fangzheng lowered his head and rummaged through the cloth bag again, and after a while, he found several documents and handed them to Xu Wenshu.

Xu Wenshu looked at him suspiciously and asked, "What is this?"

"You can see it."

Xu Wenshu suppressed his impatience, took the document, opened it, and was stunned.

He rubbed his eyes and read it twice, panicked and said, "Master Fang, when did you sign this?"

Fangzheng looked at the sky, and said slowly: "Ah... about two days ago. Your nephew Xu Ping found Taoyuan County and wanted to do business with our county."

"He sells jade very well, and he actually wants to get involved in the diamond business. You should know that the diamond business is now run by my people from Taoyuan County. Why don’t you dare to cooperate with the small helpers. The diamonds are sold to him, and he has to pay 10 taels of channel fees. This business is really good.”

"Master Xu, your family is really rich."

"Fang Zhengyi!" Xu Wenshu stood up abruptly, fixed his eyes on Fang Zhengyi, panting heavily, "You are slandering me! Xu Ping can't do such a thing!"

Fang Zheng smiled.

Xu Ping is a businessman and his business is quite large, so it is impossible for him to be so stupid and use Xu Wenshu's name to make a fuss outside.

The diamond was negotiated by the county people on their own initiative, and it had to be negotiated and signed for cooperation.

Now that the contract has been signed, and the yellow mud is falling on the crotch, it is up to Xu Wenshu to say what.

"Tsk, the law does not blame the public, it is true. Master Xu, but now you are left alone. You said that I will make trouble with His Majesty, will His Majesty believe me or you?" Fang Zhengyi drank unhurriedly. tea.

"This is my nephew's business, and there is nothing wrong with the contract. I am not afraid of making trouble before Your Majesty. Do you think you can turn right and wrong with His Majesty's trust?"

"Hmph! You also admit that he is your nephew? As the Minister of the Household Department, you connive at relatives doing business and abuse your power. How do you explain it?"

Xu Wenshu stared at him coldly: "Master Fang's method is so low, and his actions are effective. Does Jin Yiwei always act like this? Do you still have Wang Fa in your eyes?"

Fangzheng said unhurriedly: "Master Xu, let me tell you a story. A few days ago, our Jin Yiwei arrested a small official who bullied others, but there was only oral evidence from the people but no real evidence. The people below arrested the small official. Check with the oppressed people, who knows that the people are afraid of turning back on the spot.”

"Seeing that there were no witnesses or innocence, the petty official opened his mouth and yelled that he was obeying the law. But in the end, do you know what happened to him?"

"What's wrong?" Xu Wenshu became nervous for no reason.

Fangzheng smiled sullenly: "I put this person in prison and sentenced him to a crime of vicious law-abiding on the spot! Later, he couldn't stand the detention, so he resorted to all kinds of tricks, and finally he was stripped of his official skin."

"I want to tell Mr. Xu...that's how I do things!"

"You... how dare you..." Xu Wenshu's pupils were shocked, and he was completely confused. He had never expected such a madman in his life.

How can a law-abiding person be sentenced so hard, so confident!

"Of course, it is natural to use evil deeds against wicked people. Master Xu, you have high morals, so the younger generation will not dare to offend you."

"Although Xu Ping relies on you to forcibly do business with the people below me, but that's his ability, so let's give it 10 taels."

"As for this favor..." Fang Zheng took out the memorial in his sleeve and put it on the table: "Master Xu, if you want to help me, just help me. It's okay if you don't want to help, after all, everyone Look down and see up."

"I'm leaving, don't send it away!"

After finishing speaking, Fangzheng picked up the cloth bag, turned and left without looking back.

Xu Wenshu looked at Fang Zhengyi's gradually moving back with a complicated expression, and felt a little admiration in his heart.

Today, his impression of Fang Zhengyi was completely refreshed.

Broad-minded, strong-willed, unscrupulous... just bad mouth and wickedness.

After hesitating for a long time, Xu Wenshu finally put the memorial in his sleeve, shook his head, and muttered, "Madman!"

Xu Hongcai who was on the side was already dumbfounded, and said in a jerky way: "Father, is that why you promised to help him?"

Xu Wenshu smiled helplessly: "It's not a serious matter for father, but it's too unpleasant, and it's very easy to cause disputes. This is a big taboo in court."

"But Fang Zhengyi won't give up until he achieves his goal...I can only accept him. Hongcai, although this person is despicable and vulgar, you have to learn from him, so that you can succeed."

Xu Hongcai nodded, and said in a low voice, "Father, I don't know why, I feel that what he said is true, times have changed... You see, since the Dongjiao College appeared, there are so many more on the market. Many people have changed their minds about the past problems. Could it be that..."

Xu Wenshu frowned and said, "That's enough, it's all just tricks and ingenuity! Just relying on the strange talk of the Academy of Sciences, dare to claim that the times have changed? Thousands of years have passed, the emperor is still the emperor, the court is still the court, and the people are still the same people." , it will never change!"

"Oh, you are arrogant! This old man has eaten more salt than he has eaten in his entire life. He knows nothing!"
