Royal Gold Medal County Magistrate

A day was spent making numerous adjustments to the newspaper office.

The next day, Xiao Tao and the others also moved from Taoyuan County back to the capital.

When they came, they kept complaining about the poor living conditions in the city.

Fang Zheng Yi couldn't do anything about it! That's just how the capital is, they'll have to make do.

In the morning, they had just finished setting up some new furniture and items brought from the county when Xiao Bai rushed in慌慌张张 from the entrance.

She held a invitation card in both hands and handed it to Fang Zheng Yi.

Fang Zheng Yi didn't rush to take it, but instead looked Xiao Bai up and down.

A young woman changes greatly at eighteen! Her beauty has reached another level!

Fair skin and beautiful face, long legs, small waist.

However, her temperament has also changed, that arrogance is gone.

Instead, she has become much more "simple".

Fang Zheng Yi even felt that she was somewhat timid when she looked at him.

He couldn't help but feel a little satisfied in his heart.

Not bad! It seems that Xiao Bai hasn't been instilled with education by Xiao Tao these past few months, this is what a maid should be like!

Seeing Xiao Bai still looking down, Fang Zheng Yi couldn't help but say: "What! Does your young master eat people?"

Bai Yi quietly curled her lips, constantly complaining in her heart.

Isn't it because I'm afraid you'll deduct my money!

It was better before going home, now that I'm home, I'm scolded all day for being useless!

Bai Yi readjusted her mentality and raised her head.

Fang Zheng Yi rubbed her head and praised: "Hmm! Not bad! Xiao Bai, although you used to be useless, your cooking was terrible, and you were ugly and good-for-nothing."

"But in this world, there's still your young master who pities you."

"You are now a qualified maid."

"Thank you, young master."

Listening to this, Bai Yi inexplicably felt a hint of joy in her heart.

After being constantly belittled, occasional encouragement has twisted her mentality.

Seeing that his PUA was working well, Fang Zheng Yi took the invitation card and said:

"Work hard! Your young master remembers everything you do, every task has points, and when you reach one hundred points, you can get a Taoyuan household registration."

"Young master, how many points do I have now?"

"Twenty... thirty-five points, I guess!"

Bai Yi calculated with her fingers, it would take about less than two years to get a household registration...

Suddenly, she realized something.

Her entire face instantly flushed red, filled with shame, regret, anger, and various other emotions.

After suddenly waking up, she glared fiercely at Fang Zheng Yi, then ran out of the courtyard.

Fang Zheng Yi shook his head as he watched her swaying figure.

Hard to tame! Still needs education!

Then he opened the invitation card in his hand, and his eyes narrowed as he looked at the words on it.

Prince Wu... invites me to his residence as a guest?

Prince Wu knew as soon as I moved here, his information is quite well-informed.

Why did he suddenly think of inviting me to his residence as a guest?

Why didn't he invite me earlier, making it all mysterious.

Fang Zheng Yi closed the invitation card and sighed.

People who speak in riddles are so annoying! Why do they always appear around me.

But after thinking about it carefully, he decided to go and see.

After all, Prince Wu doesn't have any malicious intentions, he just doesn't know what kind of trick he's up to.

Soon, Li Yuan Zhao and Zhang Biao arrived at Fang Zheng Yi's side.

Fang Zheng Yi handed the invitation card to Li Yuan Zhao and asked: "Your Highness, do you know Prince Wu?"

Li Yuan Zhao casually flipped through it a couple of times, uninterested: "So-so, I occasionally go to see him during the New Year and holidays."

"Imperial Uncle has a bad reputation, Imperial Grandfather has a lot of complaints about him, it is said that he doesn't like to read books and always likes ingenious and skillful crafts."

"As for what kind of ingenious and skillful crafts they are, I haven't seen them either."

"Lao Fang, aren't you doing business with Imperial Uncle? You've been in the capital for so long, haven't you seen him yet?"

Fang Zheng Yi shrugged his shoulders.

See him? He wanted to see him at first, but the other party didn't want to see him. Now he's too lazy to have contact with him, but instead he's constantly trying to get close, and still acting all sneaky.

Don't know what's wrong with him!

"Then Your Highness should accompany me for a trip this afternoon, let's go together!"

Li Yuan Zhao was clearly not interested.

"I don't want to go... What's so good about seeing him, I hate going to other people's houses to say useless nonsense during the New Year and holidays."

"Liking to stay at home is a disease! It needs to be treated! Come with me!"

.......

All the way, he dragged Li Yuan Zhao to Prince Wu's residence.

As for why he brought him along, there was no special reason.

It's just that he was afraid that it would sound bad if word got out, bringing the Crown Prince would avoid this problem.

After all, Fang Zheng Yi cherishes his official reputation!

The three of them appeared at the entrance of Prince Wu's residence, and the gatekeeper immediately went inside to report.

Soon, a familiar person walked out from inside the gate.

Fang Zheng Yi cupped his hands and smiled: "Steward Chen, long time no see!"

The first time Fang Zheng Yi had tied up someone from Prince Wu's residence, the second time Steward Chen personally went to the county to negotiate.

He has rarely appeared since then, but Fang Zheng Yi still recognized him.

Steward Chen has slender eyebrows and eyes, and although he has a expressionless face, he always gives people the feeling that he is smiling.

His figure is also quite tall, especially his arms, which are obviously longer than ordinary people's.

All important clients who have dealings with Taoyuan County have exquisite sketch portraits on file in the county.

This Steward Chen was no exception, and with his obvious features, Fang Zheng Yi remembered him clearly.

When Steward Chen saw the three people appearing at the gate, his first glance was actually towards Zhang Biao.

Although the weather has started to turn cool, it hasn't reached the point of wearing overcoats yet.

Brother Biao's sharp style is bound to be eye-catching.

Steward Chen glanced at him and knelt towards Li Yuan Zhao, respectfully saying: "Greetings, Your Highness the Crown Prince!"

"Mm, rise." Li Yuan Zhao's butt was still burning, and he was somewhat absent-minded.

After getting up, he looked at Fang Zheng Yi and bowed: "Greetings, Sir Fang! Long time no see, I didn't expect Sir Fang to still remember this humble one."

"I remember! You are a distinguished guest of the county, how could this official not remember you?"

"Today, the Prince invited me to come, and this official is very happy."

"In fact, this official has long wanted to see Prince Wu, but I was afraid of disturbing the Prince."

"His Highness the Crown Prince heard that I was coming, so he came along, the Prince wouldn't mind, right."

Steward Chen smiled slightly: "Sir Fang is joking, the Prince doesn't know how happy he is that the Crown Prince has come! It's just, who is this...."

As he spoke, his gaze turned towards Zhang Biao.

"This is His Highness the Crown Prince's personal guard!"

Steward Chen hurriedly bowed, his etiquette was extremely thorough, leaving no room for criticism.

Afterward, the three of them were invited into the residence.

Fang Zheng Yi kept looking around, wanting to see if there was anything special.

Also, the county's spy is still mixed in the Prince's residence, I wonder where he is.

The three of them were led to a large hall.

After taking their seats, maids brought various snacks and fruits.

Steward Chen went to inform Prince Wu, and it was unknown when he would return.

A painting hung in the hall.

Fang Zheng Yi carefully looked at it, feeling that it had a bit of modern art to it!

The content of the painting was just a blank piece of paper with a circle drawn on it in ink, that's it!

Don't know what it means!

Li Yuan Zhao couldn't sit still and started wandering around the garden.

Before long, a scream came out: "Lao Fang! Lao Fang! I found something good! Look what this is!"

Fang Zheng Yi immediately got up and quickly walked to the garden, and was dumbfounded when he saw what was on the ground!

Astronomical telescope!!!?

What was erected on the ground was actually a huge telescope!

And this size could only be an astronomical telescope.

This motherfucker.... Did Prince Wu transmigrate here?

How could this thing appear here?

In that instant, Fang Zheng Yi was shocked silly.

Li Yuan Zhao became interested and kept walking around the astronomical telescope, looking it over.

"Tsk tsk tsk, why does this thing look a bit like that Thousand Li River and Mountain Mirror? It's so big!"

"What is this thing used for, it's not convenient to carry either!"

Fang Zheng Yi was in no mood to pay attention to him right now, looking at the astronomical telescope with a furrowed brow.

He couldn't figure it out for a moment.

He doesn't doubt the excellent creativity of the ancients, but shouldn't astronomical telescopes only exist after the development of glass?

Could it be that Prince Wu also has the technology to make glass?

Impossible, absolutely impossible! Unless he's a transmigrator!

Thinking of this, Fang Zheng Yi quickly observed the lens.

He carefully observed it from front to back.

It wasn't until he saw the largest lens that he suddenly understood.

This isn't glass! It's crystal! There are some flocculent substances on the edge of the lens.

There is no such thing in glass.

But... how much would such a large and pure piece of crystal cost to grind into a lens!

Fang Zheng Yi was even more shocked.

Crystal isn't anything cheap... Prince Wu has a deep enough foundation!

While he was observing, a burst of laughter suddenly came from behind the three of them.

Fang Zheng Yi looked back and saw a figure wearing a python robe walking towards him.

He looked seven parts like Emperor Jing, but his figure was not as burly as Emperor Jing's.

Moreover, his temperament was completely different from Emperor Jing's, appearing somewhat melancholy, while Emperor Jing had a bit of heroism.

This person is Prince Wu!

"Greetings, Your Highness the Crown Prince." Prince Wu bowed slightly.

He only glanced at Zhang Biao.

Then he looked at Fang Zheng Yi and smiled: "Sir Fang, we have finally met."

Fang Zheng Yi didn't rush to examine the astronomical telescope.

He turned around and returned the salute: "Greetings, Your Highness, Your Highness is flattering this official."

Li Yuan Zhao was still studying the high-tech, looking at Prince Wu curiously: "Imperial Uncle, what is this?"

Prince Wu smiled faintly: "Your Highness the Crown Prince, this thing is called a Star-Viewing Mirror! It has the same effect as the Thousand Li River and Mountain Mirror that Sir Fang respectfully presented to His Majesty."

"It can see scenery far away."

Fang Zheng Yi interjected: "Did Your Highness make this?"

Prince Wu nodded: "That's right, it was made by this Prince, it was just successfully made last night, you can use it to see the surface of the moon."

Upon hearing this, Li Yuanzhao immediately exclaimed excitedly, "A stargazing mirror! Can this thing really see the moon?"

"Are there people living on the moon?"

"Can it see the sun too! That's amazing! I want to try it!"

With that, he lowered his head to look through the eyepiece.

At this moment, the telescope was pointed directly at the sun.

Fang Zheng Yi immediately panicked, reaching out to grab Li Yuanzhao's face and pulling him away.

Damn it! Did he want to ruin his eyes!?

Li Yuanzhao rubbed his face and complained to Fang Zheng Yi, "Lao Fang, what are you doing!?!"

Fang Zheng Yi said sternly, "Ahem! This thing is so magical, it must be very valuable. Your Highness, don't let the Prince break it!"

After speaking, he secretly pinched Li Yuanzhao.

The Crown Prince, unaware of the truth, promptly shut his mouth.

Prince Wu smiled and said, "It's fine, we can try it later. Please, have a seat. This Prince has already arranged for people to prepare a feast."

"Today, with two distinguished guests here, we must not leave until we are drunk!"

Biao Ge had been completely ignored by Prince Wu.

The group returned to the main hall and took their seats, as maids replaced the tea with a fresh brew.

It was still the Grand Grade Celestial Tea.

Prince Wu picked up his teacup, took a gentle sip, and sighed, saying, "Lord Fang, we have been cooperating for so many years."

"But this Prince has not been feeling well, so I have been unable to receive guests. I am truly sorry."

Fang Zheng Yi complimented, "Your Highness can see this humble official whenever you wish."

"This official has also always wanted to witness Your Highness's grace in person. Today, my dream has finally come true."

"Your Highness is indeed handsome and wise..."

A string of rainbow farts was unleashed, and Prince Wu laughed heartily.

Fang Zheng Yi was actually a little absent-minded, as the telescope was too shocking.

He wondered what kind of background this Prince Wu had.

While pondering, he casually pointed to a hanging painting on the wall and asked, "Your Highness, this painting has a Zen-like quality, but alas, this humble official's understanding is limited. I wonder what the meaning of the painting is?"

Everyone looked at the hanging painting on the wall.

The straightforward Li Yuanzhao laughed, "Royal Uncle! Why did you draw a circle on the wall? Lao Fang, you have to ask about this too."

Prince Wu lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then said hesitantly, "That's not a circle, that's the world."

"The earth we live on is actually round, a spherical orb."

Holy crap!?!

Fang Zheng Yi suddenly felt like he had been struck by lightning!

Good heavens... this is really seeing a ghost!

However, judging from Prince Wu's reaction, he wasn't too sure about it either.

That means he's not a transmigrator.

Is this... a science fanatic?!

Zhang Biao suddenly grinned foolishly, "Round, then can people still stand on the ground?"

Li Yuanzhao chimed in from the side, "Exactly! Royal Uncle, you don't even know about the concept of a flat and square earth, do you!"

"The earth beneath our feet cannot possibly be round!"
