Royal Gold Medal County Magistrate

Fang Zheng gestured animatedly with his hands, his voice rising and falling as he said, "Thank you for His Majesty's passionate speech. His speech comprehensively summarized our work in the previous stage and profoundly analyzed the problems existing in our current work."

"At the same time, it put forward specific requirements for our next stage of work and vividly provided specific improvement suggestions for our work."

"Now, according to His Majesty's request, let the demonstration begin!" Fang Zheng waved his hand.

Then, applause rang out.

Uto's old face was flushed, and he watched the stage with glee.

This kid really knows how to talk. Was my speech that profound? ?

Having such a 'capable general', how happy must Li Che be...

Paba, with a gloomy face, couldn't help but remind him, "Your Majesty, you don't understand Fang Zheng. What you see now is his true nature. This man is eloquent and insincere, and we must guard against him."

"Those craftsmen have only been with him for a short month, and they are already being used like his own arms and fingers. This ability... is truly remarkable."

"Your Majesty, I suspect... that his arrangement of such a grand display today must be for some request to Your Majesty. Unsolicited courtesy is always suspicious. If that is really the case, I implore Your Majesty not to agree."

Uto nodded and said, "Grand Preceptor, you don't need to worry. Even if Fang Zheng speaks with the eloquence of a lotus flower, what can he do? I don't believe that he can turn the world upside down in Pan Tai City with just his clever tongue."

Who knows? I've been studying him for so many years. That guy's routines and thinking are different from normal people. You can't use common sense to predict him...

Paba helplessly twitched the corner of his mouth: "Your Majesty is wise."

At this time, several groups of craftsmen were already carrying three hot air balloons and placing them on the stage.

After tying the ropes, they began to light the fire in preparation.

Fang Zheng said loudly, "This foreign minister will personally demonstrate it to Your Majesty."

"No need, just stand there."

Fang Zheng chuckled twice and stood where he was.

As the heat continued to rise, the balloon expanded, and the hot air balloon began to slowly lift off the ground.

The surrounding officials immediately exclaimed: "It's flying, it's flying, it's actually flying!"

During the early stages of the hot air balloon construction, people often visited the camp, but as the project progressed slowly, many people lost their enthusiasm, except for Paba, who diligently ran to the construction site.

The rest of the people didn't really believe in this thing, but now it really took off, which shocked all the ministers present.

Uto couldn't help but get up and look up, exclaiming, "Amazing! I really didn't expect that there would be such a weapon. With this magical device, it can surpass millions of scouts!"

"But..."

"Does Your Majesty have any other questions?" Paba asked.

"How do you control it in the sky?" Uto asked Fang Zheng.

Fang Zheng said bluntly, "It's very simple, adjust the kerosene tank in the middle. There will be wind stratification at different altitudes in the sky. You can adjust the direction by using the wind layer, and you can adjust the height by adjusting the firepower."

"So that's how it is, the wind is actually stratified!" Uto repeatedly exclaimed: "I didn't expect that this seemingly useless principle could produce unexpected uses."

"This foreign minister has to pour a bucket of cold water on Your Majesty. This thing is not as useful as Your Majesty imagines. If you want to use this thing to sneak attack a granary and set fire from top to bottom, it is absolutely impossible. The accuracy cannot be controlled during the day, and you can't see anything at night."

"Whether it is useful or not, and how to use it, I will distinguish it myself." Uto waved his hand.

After the emperor and his ministers finished their inspection, Uto ordered: "Pass on my order, speed up the manufacture of this thing within ten days, and send a group of elite soldiers to train here!"

Ten days... Is he preparing to leave after ten days?

Fang Zheng thought to himself, and then he heard Uto's voice coming: "Fang Qing, I will remember your contribution, you don't have to come tomorrow."

Here it comes, this dog thing is killing the donkey after it's done its work. After using me, he's going to lock me up in the post house?

Today's pomp is just to deal with this play.

Fang Zheng immediately stepped forward and said, "I wonder if Your Majesty is satisfied with today's demonstration?"

"Satisfied."

"Does Your Majesty think that this foreign minister has done anything inappropriate?"

"Nothing inappropriate."

"Since I have made a contribution, shouldn't I be rewarded?"

Uto pondered for a moment and glanced at Paba with a strange expression.

The Grand Preceptor was right, does this kid really have a request for me?

However, with the ministers by his side, and the words already spoken, Uto could only say: "If you have made a contribution, you should naturally be rewarded. What reward do you want?"

Fang Zheng first bowed his hands and saluted, and then said: "Please allow this foreign minister and the people in the delegation to move freely within Pan Tai City."

"Absolutely not!" Before Uto could react, Paba spoke first.

Fang Zheng looked at him with contempt and said: "Grand Preceptor, I am asking His Majesty for a reward. How... can you still make decisions for His Majesty now?"

"I... I was rude, but I suggest that Lord Fang should still live in the post station. Everything is provided for in terms of food, clothing, and use, and there is absolutely no need to go out." Paba added, gritting his teeth.

"Grand Preceptor, people are not livestock, they will be suffocated. I am now at least an envoy, and also an envoy who has made a contribution. In fact, I have also betrayed my country. It's not appropriate to keep me locked up now, right?" Fang Zheng said in a deep voice.

Uto smiled and said: "That's right, it's really not appropriate. But I think what the Grand Preceptor said is reasonable, you should stay in the post station, and I will compensate you when I return victorious."

"Your Majesty, this foreign minister has Yuyu Syndrome!" Fang Zheng said loudly, "By the time you come back, it will be the year of the monkey, and I'm afraid I will have been mentally disturbed long ago. If Your Majesty wants me to die, please give me a quick death!"

"Yuyu Syndrome..." Uto frowned slightly, "What is this difficult and complicated disease? I have never heard of it, but I can order the imperial physician to help you diagnose it."

"This is a mental illness. The imperial physician has already helped me see it, and they all said that there is no cure. The only way to get better is to go out and relax."

"Your Majesty! He is clearly just trying to sell his misery. I have never heard of a disease that can be cured by going out for a walk, then it is not a disease!" Paba couldn't help but say.

Fang Zheng sighed: "Grand Preceptor, His Majesty hasn't spoken yet, why are you answering again? You are arrogant because of your favor, don't you understand the proper respect for superiors and inferiors?"

Paba stared at Fang Zheng hatefully.

This dog thing! He came here today on purpose to sow discord, right? It's so obvious, what else could it be for besides disgusting people?

Although sowing discord is crude, it can't stand the fact that it really grates on the ears...

Uto couldn't help but glance at Paba, and then said to Fang Zheng: "The people in the delegation absolutely cannot go out and move around freely, you can just change the reward, and I can consider agreeing."

Fang Zheng was silent for a while, and stretched out three fingers: "I will take ten steps back, three people! Please Your Majesty agree, three people from the delegation can be sent out to move freely in the city every day, so that people can take turns to relax and avoid problems."

"If Your Majesty is worried, you can send people to follow them, how about that?"
