Royal Gold Magistrate

The next day.

Fang Zhengyi and Li Yuanzhao stood on a street in Banshanfang, accompanied by a stranger.

Observing the surrounding environment, there are dusty streets, dilapidated houses on both sides, and a child taking off his pants and whistling in the corner.

Li Yuanzhao twitched the corners of his eyes twice, and fell silent. This scene was quite different from what he had imagined.

His ideal environment should be similar to Taoyuan County, at least it must be an inner city.

Then he turned his head to Fang Zhengyi and said disappointedly: "Old Fang, is this the place you chose?"

Fangzheng smiled triumphantly: "That's right, do you like it? This is carefully selected by the minister. I assure you that there is no better place in the capital!"

"Come on, let Mr. Zhao Gang Zhao explain to you."

After speaking, he talked about the people who had been standing beside him.

Zhao Gang looked at Li Yuanzhao with a flattering smile, and quickly saluted.

"Banshanfang is under the management of Beicheng Bingmasi. Mr. Zhao is the commander of Beicheng Bingmasi. Mr. Zhao, please introduce Banshanfang to the prince."

As soon as yesterday, Fang Zhengyi went straight to Beicheng Bingmasi to say hello.

The Wucheng Bingma Division is a public security agency in charge of the capital area full-time. It is basically a six-rank yamen with the functions of public security, fire protection, urban management, and market supervision in the modern sense.

Although it sounds majestic, in fact, the official is small and the position is small, and the capital is full of high-ranking officials. It is basically a fringe yamen with a scapegoat.

However, the rank of the Commander of the Army and Horse Division is only a mere sixth rank, and most of these positions are held by relatives such as concubines in the palace, basically they only hold posts and do nothing.

Zhao Gang didn't have a back door, but he worked hard, and it was probably the end of the day to get to where he is today, so he was very excited to see the prince this time.

Gratefully glanced at Fangzheng, quickly took out the file from his arms and introduced it to Li Yuanzhao.

"His Royal Highness, this Banshanfang was first built five years ago. At that time, it was a time of war and chaos, and a large number of refugees flooded into the capital. Therefore, several nearby squares and cities were established at that time."

"Because of the hasty appropriation and insufficient funds for the construction, it looks a bit shabby."

"But after several years of development, many places have improved a lot."

"Banshanfang now has twenty restaurants..."

"Master Zhao, there is no need to talk about these things, just tell His Highness directly, how many criminal incidents have occurred here in a month, big or small." Fang Zheng stopped Zhao Gang as soon as he spoke.

Zhao Gang's face froze, and he had no choice but to bite the bullet and look through the file and continued: "In the last month, for example, there were 177 thefts and 12 robberies..."

Zhao Gang talked one after another, and Li Yuanzhao's face darkened the more he listened.

He knew that the people's lives were hard, but he never thought that there could be so many Xiaoxiao in one square.

Living in such an environment is really shocking.

"239 fights..."

"Enough! Don't talk anymore!" Li Yuanzhao closed his lips tightly after speaking, his face was serious.

Zhao Gang immediately stopped talking, feeling a little uneasy.

Li Yuanzhao really couldn't listen to it anymore, this was a mess, and taking over such a piece of land was purely for himself.

Turning to look at Fang Zhengyi angrily: "Old Fang, you are here to trick me!"

Fangzheng smiled and didn't answer, instead he stuffed a bank note into Zhao Gang's sleeve without anyone noticing it.

Zhao Gang was shocked all over, and immediately became awe-inspiring.

As expected of a nobleman in the palace!Such methods...such speed...unheard of.

"Your Majesty Zhao has worked hard today, and I will take His Highness the Crown Prince for a walk to have a look at the rest. The palace should issue a decree in these two days, and it will be necessary to bother Master Zhao in the future."

Zhao Gang heaved a sigh of relief when he heard the words...

I can't help thinking, this Fang Zhengyi is not as rude and unreasonable as in the legend, on the contrary, he is gentle, without a bit of airs, and he is also impeccable in his work. He even gave me money from a subordinate. The rumors are wrong!

Then he leaned into Fangzheng's ear and whispered: "Master Fang, the official will leave. If you have any troubles, you can come to me at any time. The prince must love cleanliness when he comes from the palace. If you want to renovate Banshanfang, I have a word to remind you. Be careful of the excavators in the workshop!"

After saying that, Zhao Gang left in a hurry.

Fangzheng raised his eyebrows, the money was not in vain.

Turning to Li Yuanzhao, he said, "What did your Highness say? I, Fangzheng, are only cheating rich people! Are you rich?"

"........."

Li Yuanzhao blushed: "Then you choose such a place, there is nothing, how can I use my hands and feet?"

Fangzheng stared at each other: "Your Highness, if a person is really talented, he can make a big fortune with just one bowl at the beginning. Now you are so reluctant to govern a market, let alone I will accompany you, what are you afraid of?!"

"Look, how poor the people here are, they are all counting on you!"

Li Yuanzhao's face turned red when he heard the words, and he mumbled: "Oh, one day is fine, two days is fine, I can't stay in such a place every day, right... Dirty and messy, nothing is more boring than the East Palace... .”

"The people who are fooling around in the East Palace are not my brothers!"

"I know! I know!" Li Yuanzhao shouted reluctantly.

Fangzheng put his arms around his shoulders when he saw this, and began to paint big cakes for him with a smile: "Your Highness, don't worry, when I first saw Your Highness, I thought His Highness was a generation of sages. , or inherit the glory of His Majesty today? Your Highness can't always live in His Majesty's shadow."

"If you think about the scene of people admiring and welcoming people in the future, are you not happy? But when others mention it, they will say that this is actually your father's achievements. You just picked up a big deal. What do you think? "

"What's more, the minister is rich...Don't look at the fact that there is nothing here now, if you spend tens of thousands of taels of silver, you will change his old appearance tomorrow!"

"and also...."

After all, Li Yuanzhao is a young man at heart. After drawing a big cake, his complexion gradually became rosy, and his whole person began to cheer up.

Excitedly said: "What you said makes sense, so where should we start?"

Fangzheng pointed to the street: "Look at how dirty this place is, we need to do a good job of sanitation first, and clean the street first!"

"Hey, there is a broom in the corner, Your Highness can try it out for yourself, can you sweep it?"

Li Yuanzhao gave Fangzheng a contemptuous look: "I don't want to sweep the streets, Lao Fang, don't fool me, you are so lazy, I'm afraid you don't even know how to sweep!"

Fangzheng smiled contemptuously: "Sweeping the streets is nothing, I even drank slop, do you dare to drink it!?"

swill?Is that thing for people to eat?

Li Yuanzhao scanned Fang Zhengyi's face with suspicious eyes, then gritted his teeth and said, "Isn't it just sweeping the streets! Can I still have this thing? Just wait!"

After speaking, he strode towards the broom.

Fangzheng watched the show with his arms folded. For this middle-school boy, he can't do it with the chicken sauce method.

Although the prince has good conduct, he is still spoiled and spoiled.He acts like a rough guy on weekdays, but when he sees the dirt, he hides farther than anyone else, so he has to get rid of his problems.

I saw Li Yuanzhao picked up a broom and "danced" in the middle of the street, and the sky was filled with dust for a while.

Pedestrians on the street cursed.

"It's a dog's day to raise dust and die!"

"Which bastard? There is no virtue, I want to report to the official!"

"Shit you!"

Seeing this, Fangzheng covered his face with his sleeve, and walked slowly to the corner...

Not long after, Li Yuanzhao's exclamation came from the dust: "Old Fang!! Old Fang!!"

Fangzheng went up in a hurry, but the dust was too heavy and he retreated.

The smoke and dust dissipated slowly, only to see Li Yuanzhao leaning on the broom in one hand, looking at Fang Zhengyi with horror on his face, and crying: "Old Fang, I seem to be stepping on shit!"

Fang Zhengyi: "..."
