Royal Gold Magistrate

Tang Shou listened to the laughter in his ear, looked up to the sky and sighed, and continued to narrate: "After seeing this situation, I really had no choice but to drive away all the people in Taoyuan County."

"But not long after, Fang Zhengyi sent back the old and weak women and children who had been picked up earlier."

"Those people who were raised by him were white and fat. After they came back, they sat on the side of the street and sighed every day... saying how good life in Taoyuan County is."

"So some of the people in the village left again... Those old and weak women and children are Jihua people, and I can't drive them away, it's hard!!"

The crowd started to laugh loudly.

Tang Shou finally lived in Bengbu, with tears streaming down his face: "One year after that, Jihua Township was downgraded to Jihua.....Village..."

"Pfft!" Guo Tianyang, who had been expressionless all this time, also froze.

I thought in my heart that Fang Zhengyi's dog days are too cloudy... If such a godson is really adopted, I'm afraid it will be a tiger!

Tang Shou was still talking, but his heart seemed to go back to the past, once again destroyed and shattered.

"Later...in the county, oh no...there were dozens of people left in the village, I thought this would be the end..."

"But I never expected it!! Then Fangzheng made a pipe and stabbed it into the river in Jihua Village. At first, the minister didn't care, thinking that since the matter has come to this point, what else can he do."

"But I never thought that the pipe would start to flow out of feces in a short time!! The water in the river is undrinkable!"

"The people from Taoyuan County even brought water from Taoyuan County to sell! He is not human, Your Majesty!!"

The crowd who watched the joke fell silent, and looked at Tang Shou with sympathy in their eyes.

With such a neighbor at the stall...you can understand that life is hard...

"Later... Jihua Village was gone, and the minister reported to the Hengjiang Mansion and was transferred to other counties to serve as county magistrates..."

After venting the grievances of several years, Tang Shou languished on the ground and began to sob non-stop, making people unable to help but cry...

Fangzheng couldn't help but sneered and said, "Then why don't you thank me, the village head becomes the county magistrate, how nice it is?"

"You!..." Tang Shou glared immediately.

Fang Zhengyi immediately shouted: "Return to Your Majesty! This person's words are like eunuchs having a meeting - nonsense!"

"Everyone heard it too. I didn't force anyone to come to my Taoyuan County, did I? They all came here voluntarily! Why do you lie?"

Guo Tianyang's face became colorful....

Zhang Shi said with a gloomy face, "How can it not be a coercion? The young people who went to Jihua County did not work but had meat to eat, and what women and children were sent back to promote Taoyuan County. Isn't this your trick of Fang Zhengyi?"

Fangzheng spread his hands: "Then my life in Taoyuan County is good! What's wrong with those young people who have left home and their families are worried about sending some meals? What about those women and children from Jihua County who are homesick and I send them back? "

Zhang Shi was already full of impatience, and shouted angrily: "Then how do you explain the dumping of feces in Jihua County!"

"What manure! It's fertilizer. Mr. Zhang said carefully, these are good things, and no one else can grab them."

Tang Shou immediately jumped up from the ground when he heard the words, and said angrily, "You've already drained into the river, how can we use it!"

"Fang Zhengyi! Don't think I don't know, those rotten fields in your county can't grow much food at all, they are all bought from other places!"

"How do you use it? There are only a few dozen people in your village who can get some rarity. How much land can you plant? Who is to blame for asking you to come to Taoyuan County to force Lai Lai not to come?" Fang Zheng raised his eyebrows.

At the beginning, when Taoyuan County was short of manpower, Fang Zhengyi set his sights on Jihua County not far away.

It took a lot of money to lure people over. For the remaining people, Fang Shaoxin didn't want them to wait to die, so he directly pushed the defecation pipe over.

Tang Shou jumped up angrily, you, Fangzheng, were promoted to three levels in a row, and I became the fucking village chief just because of you, and I lost my official status. If it wasn't for the help of the inspector of Hengjiang Mansion, I didn't know I was going to fall to what extent.

How dare you mess around in front of His Majesty today!

Tang Shou immediately turned his head and complained to Emperor Jing: "Your Majesty! Fang Zhengyi expanded Taoyuan County privately. The area is immeasurable, but it is at least several times larger than before, which is far beyond the scope of regulations! His heart is sinister!"

Speaking of this question, Emperor Jing became curious: "Fang Qing, please explain."

Fangzheng lowered his head in deep thought, and began to pace up and down the hall, thinking about countermeasures in his mind.

Then he raised his head and said calmly: "The war just ended two years ago, the life of the people is a little bit hard, but life in Taoyuan County is still passable."

"Later, I accidentally learned about the situation in Jihua County and the surrounding small counties. The people were so poorly clothed that they couldn't even eat a bite of hot food. I couldn't bear to see this, so I thought of helping some if I could."

"As things go on like this, more and more people in Taoyuan County gather together...it has become what it is today."

"Taoyuan County is originally a lower county, but the population can no longer bear the burden according to the regulations of the lower county, so we can only continue to expand."

"Please think about it, gentlemen. If you were in my position, what decision should you make? Are you just waiting for the people to starve to death for no reason?"

Zhang Shi snorted coldly: "Sophistry! You can directly save money and food if you want to help, why send people to Taoyuan County? What are your intentions!?"

Fang Zhengyi suddenly waved his hand and pointed at Tang Shou: "Everyone, please look! This man has a fat head, a big face, and a fat brain! How can I rest assured that he rules the people but is skinny?"

Tang Shou: "......"

"I was born fat! How can you slander people out of thin air!" Tang Shou was desperate, and you can rely on me?Is it wrong to be fat?Have you eaten your rice?

"Oh! Really! There is such a strange thing? Your Majesty, please imprison this person and cut off water and food for a month. If he is still fat by then, I am willing to plead guilty!"

Tang Shou was in despair...I shouldn't have come this far, Fang Zhengyi...didn't expect him to be so arrogant when he came to the court.

Emperor Jing knocked on the imperial case, and said lightly: "Don't mess around, keep talking!"

The ministers shook their heads when they saw this, His Majesty was not like this before, now he almost writes the word favoritism on his face...

As soon as Fangzheng heard the words, he continued: "Thank you, Your Majesty, the situation is like this."

"At that time, I looked all over the surrounding counties, but there was no one who reached Taoyuan."

"Compared with the ministers, those county magistrates are not boasting. The ministers are superior in appearance, young and strong, and have outstanding abilities. Taoyuan County's poor geographical location can still guarantee the lives of the people under its rule. This is enough to explain everything."

"If I send money and food, I don't know how much I will be deducted by those stupid officials!"

As he spoke, Fangzheng's eyes drooped, and his tone became a little heated.

"I didn't expect to be impeached for doing so many things. Could it be that the world is so hostile to me!?"

"As a scholar, I don't have much in my body, but I only have a pure heart. What I think in my heart is to establish a heart for the world, to establish a life for the people, to inherit the knowledge of the past, and to bring peace to all generations!"

"I still have a dream, that is, common prosperity!"
