In the end, at Ran Fang's insistence, Jiang Guangqi was "humiliated" and expelled from the command house.
The news quickly spread throughout Xianyang City, after all, every move in Ran Fang's mansion affected everyone's nerves.
Some people even got the news and extended an olive branch to Jiang Guangqi before he returned to his house, hoping to take him under his wing.
Before Jiang Guangqi could agree, the matter had already reached Ran Fang's ears. He immediately sent people to find Jiang Guangqi and threw him out of Xianyang City.
This move showed his attitude towards Jiang Guangqi. If anyone dared to do anything to Jiang Guangqi again, he would be his enemy.
Since Ran Fang became an official, he has been so decisive in doing things, and even to a guard.
Now people are speculating that Jiang Guangqi may not be able to stay in Xianyang anymore, and people in the city also have a new understanding of Ran Fang's inevitable retribution.
Sure enough, from that day on, no one saw Jiang Guangqi in Xianyang again.
Soon people forgot about this matter, and no one would remember that Ran Fang had driven a guard out of the mansion.
Just in time for the cement brick road to be repaired, people wanted to go and see what was so special about this road?
Even Ying Zheng, wearing regular clothes, walked side by side with Ran Fang and stood on a cement brick road.
This is the place that Ran Fang specially cleaned for Ying Zheng. Except for some accompanying officials, no common people visited here.
"Your Majesty, this road has been completely dried, everyone can walk as you wish."
After he finished speaking, everyone's eyes turned to Ying Zheng. After receiving Ying Zheng's approval, everyone stepped onto the cement brick road.
Ying Zheng also stepped on it slowly, feeling the hard feeling under his feet, and then he believed that what Ran Fang said was true.
This dark gray road is indeed much better than a dirt road, and it is also very smooth.
Yuan Lai, who was tricked by Ran Fang last time, was the most active this time. He stepped back and forth on the cement brick road, and he couldn't help but admire Ran Fang's talent in his heart.
But he would not admit it like this. After walking around twice, he walked to Ying Zheng and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, Commander, this cement brick road is indeed well-deserved. I have never seen such a road before. How can it be so hard!"
"It's really hard for your feet to step on this road. It would be most suitable if we all switch to this kind of road."
"It's just that... carriages and soldiers will be walking on this road in the future, so we need to test the hardness of this road."
"Why don't you let the guards chop with their swords and test the hardness of this road?"
He didn't say the rest, but the meaning was obvious. If it wasn't what Ran Fang said, it would be deceiving His Majesty!
We can't just let him go!
Ying Zheng had a smile on his face, and it was obvious that he thought what he said was reasonable.
"Okay, let the guards give it a try."
As soon as these words were spoken, a guard immediately pulled out the sword from his waist and slashed towards the cement brick road.
Yuan Lai watched the guards take action expectantly, and turned his head to see the tension in Ran Fang's eyes, but Ran Fang showed no expression and was talking happily with Ying Zheng, not affected by them at all.
Just after the soldiers slashed more than a dozen times, the concrete brick road had no impact at all and was still the same as before.
Seeing this scene, everyone praised each other: "Is it true that even a knife can't cut it?"
"It's so, so amazing!"
"Congratulations, Your Majesty, congratulations, Your Majesty, for getting such a treasure!"
Ying Zheng looked at the ground under his feet with satisfaction, and listened to the praises of the ministers in his ears, with a smile that could not be concealed in his eyes.
He already knew that Jiang Guangqi left Xianyang just to explore the road, and now he was even more happy when he looked at this cement brick road.
"Okay! Okay! Okay!"
"reward!"
"A reward of ten thousand taels of gold!"
Ran Fang understood that Ying Zheng was clearly rewarding him this time, but in fact he was motivating him to build the Qin Straight Path.
The moment Jiang Guangqi left Xianyang City, he had already sent a letter to Ying Zheng telling him the news.
"Well, thank you, Your Majesty!"
The two of them looked at each other and understood what the other meant.
Now, we are just waiting for news from Jiang Guangqi.
…
These days, there are really good things happening in Xianyang city.
In this atmosphere, the second scientific examination was finally about to begin.
Because of his last experience, Feng Quji, as the examiner this time, had been preparing for a long time, but the more he did this, the more unsure he became.
For fear of accidentally continuing the previous failure, Ying Zheng would definitely not let him go.
For this scientific expedition, he did not have time to participate in many things in the DPRK. For example, when Ran Fang's cement brick road was completed this time, he did not have time to see this grand occasion.
I just heard that not only Ying Zheng took the officials to see it, but also the people went there with joy, and Ran Fang also rewarded the workers responsible for paving the road.
He was originally a marginalized figure in the court. Although he was tricked into getting this opportunity, he cherished it.
After thinking about it, he also asked someone to drive a group of sheep to Ran Fang's mansion and personally came to ask Ran Fang about the scientific examination.
Seeing Feng Quji coming, Ran Fang naturally came to greet him personally.
Looking at the sheep following him grazing in his yard, Ran Fang was speechless.
"Forget it if Prime Minister Feng comes here, why do you need to bring so many sheep?"
"That's very kind of you."
Feng Quji thought about his purpose, with a kind smile on his face, looked at him and explained: "I also heard that you are planning to build a breeding farm outside the city, and I don't want to send you some sheep."
"I heard that you are very fond of sheep recently, but there are only ten sheep. Commander, please don't dislike them."
Hearing this, Ran Fang didn't know whether to cry or laugh. It seemed that he was going to issue an order not to allow anyone to give away his sheep.
Otherwise, whoever comes to this house in the future will bring sheep with him, and will he still need this yard?
"Haha, thank you so much, Prime Minister Feng."
"But I just want to open a breeding farm. It's not that I like sheep. I don't know why this news came out. I don't even know."
"It seems that I have to clarify things in the future, otherwise how can anyone live in this mansion?"
"Hahaha," Feng Quji smiled awkwardly. It seemed that his information was indeed wrong.
"I didn't know you didn't like this sheep. If I had known, I wouldn't have given it to you."
"However, since I brought it, you can just accept it."
"I came to you today not to give you a sheep, but actually I am asking for something from you."
As he said that, his old face was still a little embarrassed.
Seeing him like this, Ran Fang wanted to laugh a little in his heart, "They are all officials. The Prime Minister does not need to be so polite."
"Let's go inside and talk."
Feng Quji immediately followed him. As he walked, he said, "Okay."
"Actually, it's for the scientific examination. Now that the scientific examination is getting closer and closer, I don't know what to do. I'm afraid that I won't do it well and will make His Majesty angry."
"I think you are so smart, you will definitely be able to do something about this."
"Can you tell me what you think?"
