The two talked secretly again and agreed on the details of the operation, and then Emperor Jing left the back courtyard with great satisfaction.
It was just that he felt nauseated in his stomach, so Fang Zhengyi prepared two cups, one of which was reserved for himself to rinse his mouth!
I was also dizzy, and I actually listened to what a little maid said.
When he reached the exit, Emperor Jing happened to see Xiao Tao leaning against the moon cave door, looking in.
Seeing Emperor Jing come out, Xiao Tao smiled and said, "How is the discussion between Mr. Li and my young master going?"
Emperor Jing also smiled slightly: "The big deal has been decided! Magistrate Fang speaks quickly and does things quickly."
"I knew it would definitely work!" Xiao Tao looked proud.
"Oh? How do you know?" Emperor Jing's face looked suspicious this time. What this girl said was not reliable at all.
Xiao Tao raised her head and looked at the crescent moon in the sky, as if she was lost in memories, and said slowly: "Mr. Li just arrived in Taoyuan County not long ago, so he may not know the young master."
"Sir, you must have never imagined that a few years ago, people often starved to death in Taoyuan County."
"The young master usually doesn't get up until about three o'clock in the morning every day."
"But in those years, the young master could not sleep every day, always thinking about how to save more victims..."
"Once I saw a disaster victim die in front of the young master due to hunger and disease. Before he died, he kept pulling on the young master's sleeves to complain about the pain."
"But there was nothing we could do about it. The young master drank a lot that night and shed a lot of tears..."
After speaking, Xiao Tao also wiped the corners of her eyes: "But everything is better now. Now everyone in Taoyuan County lives and works in peace and contentment. As long as the young master is here, the previous life will never happen again!"
"The young master is a first-class kind person and does not want to see others suffer, so Xiao Tao is sure that since Mr. Li begged my young master for disaster relief, the young master will definitely not refuse to help!"
Emperor Jing remained silent, but his heart was already in great shock.
He originally thought that the records about Taoyuan County contained a lot of water, but he didn't expect that the situation a few years ago turned out to be true, and it was probably far worse than he imagined.
In just a few years, Taoyuan County has been transformed from a hell on earth to what it is today!
What I didn't expect was that such a carefree person as Fang Zhengyi could have such a serious side.
Emperor Jing couldn't help but feel a little moved, so he comforted him: "Magistrate Fang has such a great talent, and he will surely prosper in the future."
Xiao Tao shook her head vigorously.
"Our young master doesn't like to have a successful career, and the people of Taoyuan County don't want the young master to leave Taoyuan County. It's a good day like this!"
It is because he is such a person that he cannot stay in Taoyuan County. There are too many suffering people in the world.
I want to save more than just Jianjiang...
Emperor Jing sighed softly, thanked Xiao Tao and left.
....................................
It was already late at night after returning to the inn. Guo Tianyang was sitting at the table when he suddenly heard a sound outside the door and hurriedly went out to open the door.
Seeing that Emperor Jing was back, he quickly helped Emperor Jing take off his robe.
"Your Majesty, what can Fang Zhengyi say?"
Emperor Jing smiled and said: "Yes! I have gained a lot from this trip. Fang Zhengyi said that there is a thing in Taoyuan County called Wuliang Gongde, which can open mountains and crack rocks. He has promised me to send men to Jianjiang."
Guo Tianyang said in surprise: "Immeasurable merit? What is this?"
"I don't know. I only know that this thing is of extraordinary value. It costs 50,000 taels of silver to buy it. I asked Fang Zheng several times but he kept silent. I will pick up the tea tomorrow and prepare the carriage and horses immediately to return to Beijing!"
"After you return, arrange for your men to change into civilian clothes and go to Jiangling Port to escort Fang Zhengyi's men, and then send factory guards to Taoyuan County to find out what the infinite merit is!"
"Haha, I want to see what it is that Fang Zheng can hide in every possible way."
After Emperor Jing took off his outer robe, he sat on a chair and drank hot tea comfortably.
"Fifty thousand taels!"
Guo Tianyang exclaimed
Then he said sadly: "Your Majesty! That Fang Zhengyi is trying to trick you. Think about it, you are just a businessman now. If the immeasurable merits are just something that Fang Zhengyi blew out, wouldn't your Majesty be fooled?" Deceived?"
Emperor Jing held the teacup in his hand and stared at the tea: "No!"
"Credit is the foundation of a businessman. If Fang Zhengyi values business so much, he will never do anything that will destroy his future."
"Besides, what if he deceived me? I borrowed the fifty thousand taels of silver from Taoyuan County. If Fang Zheng dares to deceive me, I will chop off his head!"
If it was really to deceive, then there was no need for Fang Zhengyi to tell him so much.
What's more... the performance of everyone in Taoyuan County and the words of the maid beside him are enough to prove Fang Zhengyi's character.
Even if I am just an ordinary businessman, it is impossible to deceive people according to Fang Zhengyi's acting style.
But these words remained in Emperor Jing's heart and he did not say them out.
Guo Tianyang was secretly happy.
OK! Our family just wants to see how you, Fang Zhengyi, stumble!
During these years in the palace, our family was only humble in front of the emperor. Even the cabinet ministers were respectful when they saw me.
How dare you, a mere seventh-grade official, make fun of our family many times.
It's best if you fall into our hands and let the factory guards take care of you a few times!
Guo Tianyang laughed out loud as he thought about it, and then quickly covered his mouth.
Emperor Jing glanced back at him and said calmly: "If you have such thoughts, it is better to hope that Fang Zhengyi can handle things smoothly."
"Guo Banban, I realize more and more that you are no longer acting well. As you get older, your mind becomes as big as the tip of a needle."
"Then Fang Zhengyi has offended you a few times with just his words, so why should I take it to heart? With you like this... I can't safely leave the factory guard in your hands."
Guo Tianyang's face suddenly turned pale, and he quickly knelt down and argued: "Your Majesty! This slave has been wronged..."
"This servant is so happy that he can't help but think that Magistrate Fang can solve the flood problem immediately and save His Majesty from a worry!"
"This slave is happy for Your Majesty."
"What's more, Magistrate Fang doesn't know the identity of the slave. The so-called ignorance is not to be blamed. Although the slave has never read any books, he still understands this truth."
Emperor Jing drank the tea in one gulp and slammed it on the table.
"Get up! Go back to the house and kneel down." After saying this, Emperor Jing stood up and went directly back to the bedroom.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Seeing Emperor Jing return to the house, Guo Tianyang stood up and wiped away the cold sweat.
He stared at the teacup on the table in a daze.
Fang Zhengyi, this is Jane in the emperor's heart. Your Majesty seems to have a better attitude towards Fang Zhengyi after going out this time. What kind of slander has this kid made again! ?
no! You have to have a good relationship with him from now on!
