Early the next morning, Fang Zhengyi took Zhang Biao and Xiao Tao on the carriage back to Taoyuan County.
In the afternoon, Fang Zheng packed up the penicillin experimental equipment and notes that had been in the East Palace and took them away together.
Bai Yi strongly requested to look after the house, and Fang Zhengyi agreed.
After all, it's useless to have a maid with a bad brain.
The three of them were in a very happy mood along the way, after all, they had been away from Taoyuan County for so long.
Xiao Tao was chirping all the way, Fang Zheng listened to her with a grin, and Zhang Biao also sat aside and giggled.
Under Fang Zhengyi's urging, the driver hurried on quickly and arrived at Taoyuan County in half a day.
But it was quite bumpy, the road was rugged and winding, and the carriage was moving very fast.
It was lucky that it didn't break up on the way, and the road didn't get better until we entered the county.
At this time, Xiao Tao was lying outside the car window and kept vomiting. As soon as Fang Zheng got out of the car and looked at the rolling mountains around him, he felt his mind broadening.
Although not at the same time, but at the same place, it is inevitable that I feel a little emotional.
Taoyuan County, your Mr. Fang is back!
Not long after, Fang Zhengyi saw an old farmer in the car and was about to extend his hand to say hello.
The old farmer also looked over, and then, as if he had seen a ghost, he screamed and ran towards the county seat, running faster than the carriage...
The smile on Fang Zhengyi's face froze.
Run away! what happened? A few days after I left, the unruly people rebelled! ?
Fang Zheng was confused and the carriage continued on its way.
Strange things happened. Every time I met someone, I ran towards the county seat before I could even say hello, baring my teeth and claws like a mad dog.
It wasn't until the carriage drove to the city gate that Fang Zhengyi suddenly realized what he was doing.
Crowds of people crowded at the city gate, and everyone looked at Fang Zhengyi with a smile.
Several senior leaders from the leading yamen stood in front of the crowd.
On both sides of the road were a group of children, each holding a bouquet of flowers.
Someone at the back was holding a banner, which looked like it was made temporarily. It had "Welcome Master to return to Taoyuan County" written in red ink on the white cloth, which looked very much like a debt collection scene.
Fang Zheng was amused when he saw it. Wasn't this the way he used to welcome Inspector Wu Sheng back then? He used it on me.
I couldn't help but feel a little moved. I stood on the carriage and waved: "Hey! Brothers are here!"
The people on the opposite side also cheered and waved wildly.
When Fang Zheng got off the car one by one, children on both sides of the road started shaking bouquets of flowers.
They shouted in unison in childish voices: "Welcome, welcome...warm welcome!"
A familiar feeling came to his heart, and Fang Zhengyi's face darkened, and he shouted: "Okay! It's almost done!! I didn't just crawl out of the grave!"
This roar frightened the child holding the flowers.
He cried loudly and ran around... The order of the scene was suddenly disrupted.
Hearing the familiar curse, some people couldn't help but exclaimed: "Ah! It's really the master!"
"It's him! This is how I curse!"
"Hey, that's right. It sounds kind to me. Master, please scold me again!"
Fang Zhengyi: "............"
After struggling for a long time, the crowd that came out to greet Fang Zhengyi slowly dispersed.
Fang Zhengyi was accompanied into the city by the acting county magistrate Ao Chen. Ao Chen was originally the director of the Criminal Investigation Department, a very serious person.
Now he is smiling and holding a notebook in his hand: "Master, a lot of things happened in the county after you left. I have written them all down here."
"speak!"
"Half a month since you left, many young people in the county are ready to go out and have a look. The child of the widow of the king of Chengdong sneaked out of the city in the middle of the night and was caught. His leg was broken and he is still in hospital. The problem of young people wanting to run out has been solved."
"Literacy activities are also progressing smoothly. Now 70% of the people in the county are literate, and the remaining 30% are still working hard to educate."
"The promotion of garbage classification is paying off day by day, and the problem of sewer congestion has been alleviated. However, Ankou Village in the east has been complaining that we throw too much garbage and asked for more money. We have given him an extra money."
"The county theater recently staged a continuous episodic stage play "Qinman Siheyuan" which was well received. Last month, the box office reached 300 taels of silver."
Um? This is interesting!
Fang Zheng stopped and asked, "Is this something new in the county?"
Ao Chen nodded: "Well, yes, those young people in the county who wrote novels were beaten every day because they were too slow to update, so they rewrote the script, and then they created this stage series."
"It's interesting. Is it still available today? I'll go take a look."
Ao Chen said awkwardly: "This... I'm afraid it won't work. The performance in yesterday's episode was so good that the whole crew was sent to the hospital. They probably won't be able to get out for a while..."
"........., okay, you continue talking, don't talk about these extraneous things, talk about the important things."
Ao Chen nodded and then turned two pages: "The county's glass industry has made a breakthrough. The problems of impurities, bubbles and variegated colors have been solved. The glass produced now is pure and flawless and should meet your requirements."
"Now that all glass in the experimental greenhouse has been replaced with the latest glass, the experimental results in the greenhouse should be further improved this winter."
"The magnifying glass you asked for has been produced, but many children lit it on fire, causing three fires, but no serious disasters were caused."
"The paper factory and the textile factory jointly produced the sanitary napkins you requested. It has now been promoted in the county and has been widely praised by women... However, many people complained that the price was too expensive, and the factory has been ordered to find ways to maintain the quality while maintaining the quality. cut costs."
"There is also a new rice seed developed by the Department of Agriculture. The yield is expected to increase by half as much as before."
Fang Zhengyi nodded with satisfaction: "Very good! Ao Chen, it seems you did a good job and everything is on track."
Ao Chen smiled shyly: "I'm so complimentary, sir."
Then Fang Zhengyi took out the penicillin notebook from his arms: "Sir, I did some research in the capital, and it's all recorded in this notebook."
"Now that perfect glass has been produced, tell the people at the institute that different effects can be achieved through the combination of concave and convex lenses, and ask them to grind more lens arrangements and combinations, and strive to create telescopes and microscopes."
"Find another group of doctors and study according to the notes! This book records penicillin. We must find a way to make penicillin, no matter the cost! Get more animals such as monkeys and rabbits to test the medicine!"
Ao Chen was stunned, and slowly looked at Fang Zhengyi, his eyes full of confusion: "Master, what are telescopes and microscopes?"
