At the dinner table, Li Yuanzhao kept putting various kinds of food into his mouth.
Dinner in the palace was originally eaten early, and the young man was developing a big appetite.
After a bumpy journey, I was already very hungry by noon.
The food in Taoyuan County is unique, and they love to stir-fry over high heat! The oil and salt are added heavily, so it tastes particularly delicious.
Hearing his son make pig noises, Emperor Jing couldn't help but kick him lightly under the table with a face on his face.
Li Yuanzhao reluctantly slowed down the cooking speed.
As soon as Fang Zheng saw Emperor Jing's embarrassment, he held up his chopsticks and smiled: "It's a good thing to be able to eat! I can eat more than him at his age!"
Li Yuanzhao glanced at Fang Zheng gratefully.
The impression this guy gave him was very surprising. He was not at all like the devil Wu Sheng said! What a good character!
I like it!
Fang Zhengyi continued: "Speaking of business, I still don't know how the porcelain business you two do in the capital is going?"
"If the profits are not huge enough, it is better to go all out to run the tea business! This high-quality Tianxian tea is just the first step, and the county will introduce better quality tea in the future."
"I think it will definitely be better than the famous Tianxian Tea!"
Emperor Jing hesitated for a while and then said slowly: "There was a flood in Jianjiang. Li's porcelain business was greatly affected. Porcelain from the south cannot be transported."
"And the rain is still falling, the floods are far from stopping, and Li also has a severe headache!"
Guo Tianyang glanced at Emperor Jing in astonishment.
What does Your Majesty mean by saying this? Are you here to find Fang Zheng?
He is a small official, no matter how powerful he is, can he still solve the flood? !
Your Majesty is so sick that you need to seek medical treatment in a hurry!
Fang Zheng frowned: "There's a flood in Jianjiang? And it rains constantly? How many months is this only in?"
Emperor Jing sighed: "Yes, there are strange phenomena coming from the sky. Our great scenery is really full of disasters."
Fang Zheng glanced at Emperor Jing and saw that he was indeed a patriotic businessman who had enough to worry about.
However, Fang Zhengyi also became concerned about Jianjiang Dashui. Many people in Taoyuan County fled from Jianjiang to the capital during the war.
Many parents and children are still living in Jianjiang.
In recent years, life in Taoyuan County has gotten better and better, and people who had already settled down began to think about looking for relatives.
In the past two years, nearly a hundred people have left Taoyuan County to find relatives, and the number is gradually increasing every year.
Of course, most people eventually returned to Taoyuan County.
As for those who didn't come back, it was probably because of accidents or other things.
"I wonder...where did the flood occur in Jianjiang?" Fang Zhengyi asked curiously.
"Guo Da, get the map!"
Guo Tianyang took out a three-foot-long map from his luggage and slowly unfolded it.
Fang Zheng was shocked when he saw them one by one, and immediately became vigilant!
Good guy! This is the map of the world! He couldn't even get this thing, it was a state secret. I didn't expect these two businessmen to have such a thing!
"Where does this map... come from?"
Emperor Jing pretended to be mysterious and said: "Don't worry, Magistrate Fang. We have some relations with the Ministry of War, and the porcelain business is spread all over the country, so we specially obtained a map."
Haha, the road is quite wild...
Without waiting for him to say more, Fang Zheng's attention quickly shifted to the map, and he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed after taking a look at it.
There is indeed a coastline marked on it, but it is completely different from the map in my previous life.
Emperor Jing began to point to the map and introduce: "The flood broke out from here...and its path..."
"...."
"If there are no accidents, I am afraid that the dam in Pingwang has been broken by now, and the disaster will continue to spread..."
Then Emperor Jing whispered: "I heard that Governor Jianjiang is asking the court for two hundred thousand taels of silver to provide emergency relief."
"But there is nothing the court can do. If someone can turn the tide, he will surely prosper in the future!"
Fang Zhengyi didn't answer, and followed the direction of his finger, thinking silently.
Suddenly his eyes lit up, he pointed to a place on the map and said: "This place is called Yintuo, with mountains on both sides. If thunder falls and the mountains collapse and block the river, the flood will break by itself!" I just don't know what the mountains are like. ?”
As soon as he finished speaking, Emperor Jing and the others were stunned.
What! Thunder! ? You believe this too! ?
Guo Tianyang was secretly happy, little bastard, there will be a day when you will fail!
Li Yuanzhao's eyes shone with surprise!
At this moment he felt great recognition, this was spiritual resonance!
This is what heroes cherish heroes!
"Dad! What did I say? I just said that we should summon the magicians from all over the world and rain thunder from the sky to solve the flood! How! Magistrate Fang also thinks the same way. It can be seen that the heroes have the same idea!"
Li Yuanzhao immediately became so proud that he stopped eating and almost raised his chin to the sky.
The other three people immediately looked at Li Yuanzhao with stupid eyes.
Facing the strange looks from everyone, Li Yuanzhao sat down angrily and continued to eat.
At this moment, Emperor Jing was extremely disappointed and said with a bitter smile: "Magistrate Fang is joking, where can there be thunder from the sky? Is it possible that Magistrate Fang can summon the thunder from the sky?"
Fang Zheng took a sip of tea and didn't answer, as if he was thinking about something.
Because there is really thunder in Taoyuan County!
When Qian and Jing are at war, if Qian wins, he will definitely take the capital directly, and Taoyuan County will probably suffer as well.
Therefore, as soon as Fang Zheng got rich, his first priority was to manufacture and hoard gunpowder in large quantities!
According to the situation at that time, it was too late to train soldiers and replenish equipment!
Steel is a difficult thing to obtain, but it is easy to prepare gunpowder.
So after the war was over, this batch of gunpowder was not used.
The only time it came into play was when an asphalt mine was accidentally discovered in Taoyuan County and used once.
But it was never used again.
Tons and tons of gunpowder are being piled up in the warehouse. We are not afraid that it will expire or that it will explode!
It's more than enough to blow up mountains! It can only be wasted if left alone.
Emperor Jing was suddenly shocked when he saw Fang Zheng thinking!
Could it be that he really has a way! ?
Although Fang Zhengyi is a bit unconventional, he definitely doesn't look like a random person when he came into contact with him these two times!
And it looks like he is really thinking about the feasibility of this matter!
Emperor Jing asked again expectantly: "Is there anything Magistrate Fang can do?"
"Well... I'll think about it again." Fang Zhengyi replied casually.
He is now caught between saving people's lives and exposing himself.
Once the gunpowder thing comes out, it will definitely be a thunderbolt, and he will be exposed to the court's view no matter what.
Although it may not be successful, since he has this ability and it is easy, if he doesn't do it, Mr. Fang's conscience will really be tortured.
While he was thinking, little did he know that the three of them had already cast horrified looks at him.
