Royal Gold Magistrate

Fangzheng turned around and saw that it was Yang Fengfan, he smiled and said, "Little Yang, what's the matter?"

Yang Fengfan wants to cry but has no tears.

What's wrong?What else can I do, if you don't mention this one today, I'm fine!

Yang Fengfan begged in a low voice: "Lord Fang, my officer... I don't want to go to Pingwan County to be the county magistrate, can you... can you go to His Majesty and help me talk about it and go to someone else, I really don't have that a job."

"Look... I even sent gifts to your house during the Chinese New Year... You must help me, I really went there for the rest of my life and couldn't hold my head up, and I couldn't come back!"

Yang Fengfan began to cry, and gradually began to speak without restraint.

Fangzheng patted him on the shoulder and comforted him: "It is because you gave me a gift that you should go."

"There should be rewards for hard work. Isn't the reward coming now? Do you know how hard it took me to get the court to open such a pilot project?"

"Gah?" Yang Fengfan's crying stopped abruptly.

Looking at Fangzheng with tears in his eyes, he said, "What? You arranged it? Didn't you object?"

Fangzheng smiled: "Is there any reason for me to lie to you? You said that you did a lot of things in my house. If I hurt you, who would dare to give me gifts in the future?"

"That...then..."

"Then what? With me here, Pingwan County will rely on Taoyuan County in the future. Is there any reason not to be angry? I will send someone to assist you at that time, and in a year or two, you will be promoted and rich."

"Think about the diamonds in Taoyuan County, the big-grade Tianxian tea, and penicillin... the compressed biscuits that have only appeared on the market recently, canned food, which one will not make a lot of people rich? I won't say more When you have time, come to my house and discuss in detail."

"Ah..." Yang Fengfan pinched his face, but still didn't get over it.

Seeing this, Fangzheng smiled and said, "Relax, what I said is true, there is a lie that my uncle was struck to death by lightning!"

Yang Fengfan's expression gradually changed from dull to joyful.

You have bet the life of Li Gong's old man, so can you still say lies?I actually earned it?

I'm stupid!I earned it!

"Thank you, Mr. Fang! Thank you, Mr. Fang! I will visit your house tonight!"

After finishing speaking, Yang Fengfan left briskly.

Yang Fengfan left on the front foot, Guo Tianyang came back on the back foot, leaned beside Fangzheng with a smile and said: "My dear brother, you did a good job."

Fangzheng glanced at him sideways, a little surprised, spread his hands and said, "Brother Guo also knows me."

Guo Tianyang smiled: "The others don't know, but our family doesn't know, so I went to Taoyuan County with His Majesty for the first time to see your attitude towards merchants, and I know you are acting. Your Majesty summoned you, please."

Hehe, it seems that the impression that I am a businessman has long been left on the two of them.

Fangzheng nodded with a smile, and then followed Guo Tianyang to see Emperor Jing.

When he was in front of Emperor Jing, Emperor Jing asked, "How did you convince Xu Qing?"

Fangzheng said: "Your Majesty, how can I persuade you? Naturally, Xiaozhi uses emotion to reason. Master Xu understands the righteousness and thinks what I say is reasonable, so he agreed to help the minister."

"However, I also have a question. Judging from His Majesty's intentions, it seems that he does not object to the lenient business, but why did the minister's memento stay in..."

Emperor Jing put his hands behind his back and said in thought: "I don't know whether it is right or wrong, but the courtiers will definitely object. Since it is impossible to judge, then naturally there will be fewer troubles, and I don't want to cause more troubles. The usual things are enough. too much."

"By the way, you wrote the articles about economic theory in the newspapers these days, right?"

Fangzheng smiled shyly: "Your Majesty's eyes are as bright as a torch! Sure enough, I can't hide anything from Your Majesty, but those things are nothing to talk about, they are just some shallow opinions that I have summed up over the years, and they can't be true."

Emperor Jing glanced at him meaningfully: "Then tell me, what do you think?"

"My minister's thinking is simple." Fang Zhengyi sorted out his thoughts, "At present, merchants are the allocators of resources, and only through the hands of merchants can we better allocate resources."

"If the imperial court takes the lead, I'm afraid it will be powerless. Because the imperial court doesn't know whether the people want to eat vegetables or meat tonight. They also don't know whether they want to buy cotton or hemp, let alone what color of fabric to buy. These things seem ordinary and not worth mentioning, but the needs of countless people gather together to form an extremely complex force."

"Only countless merchants can meet this extremely complex demand. In the process of satisfying demand and seeking benefits, they have to connect production, which will create new wealth."

"Suppressing merchants today is suppressing the creation of wealth."

Emperor Jing slowly walked up and down: "Well, you continue to talk."

"Secondly, I heard from the foreigners that...they are not good at farming but are very good at doing business. We will deal with foreigners sooner or later, and the countless overseas resources will also be transferred back to the big scene through transactions. Now is the time to guide them out in advance. Some fine adventurous merchants."

"Otherwise, if you do business with foreigners in the future, you won't be able to make all the money just by pointing at the imperial court. Why not make more money through private merchants? The fat people will always be our Dajing people."

Emperor Jing showed a smile, and his words came to the bottom of his heart.

Not to mention, earning money from outsiders and thickening one's own wallet, no one is unwilling to do such a business.

"Hehe, I am very interested in earning money from foreigners. But everything depends on how Pingwan County works."

Fangzheng said, "Your Majesty, I have a request."

"Go ahead."

"I plan to build a guard in Pingwan County. The trend of petty officials exploiting merchants has been around for a long time, and I'm afraid it won't be eliminated in a short time. Yang Fengfan is in the Imperial Academy, so I'm afraid he won't be able to deal with local problems. Jinyiwei is in Beijing to crack down on lawbreakers. It is effective, so I implore Your Majesty to allow Jinyiwei to build a guard in Pingwan County."

"Well, I'm sure about this matter. Jin Yiwei has been doing well in the capital, although it's a little different from what I imagined at the beginning...You can just go ahead and do it."

"Your Majesty is wise! That minister is off to work."

"Wait a minute, let Miaohan and Chenyu stay in the palace for a little longer if you have time, I haven't seen my grandson for several days."

"Uh... Erchen knows."

As soon as Fangzheng bid farewell to Emperor Jing, he was still thinking on the way.

Regarding the deregulation of merchants, there is actually one more important point that he did not mention...that is the steam engine.

After Taoyuan County had enough money, it began to vigorously organize manpower to study boiling water technology.

It has been several years now, and although he has made progress, he is still far from success, after all, he is an 'illiterate'.

You can only use your impressions to guide others in R&D. The R&D level is about starting from scratch.

But there's a lot I've learned over the years....

Once it is successfully developed and put into use one day, it is equivalent to entering the threshold of the industrial age.

At that time, the development of society will rise exponentially, capital will be born, and materials will begin to be greatly enriched.

But if you fail to speak out, it can only be regarded as a joke, and you can only talk about it after it is safe.

It's been a while since I've been to the steam station, so it's time to see how it's going.

Countless money has been poured down, so I can't just get a pressure cooker now!
