Seeing that the situation was great, Fang Zhengyi pulled out the telescope that had been attached to his back without hesitation.
He raised his hands and said loudly: "Your Majesty, on this great occasion of today, I still have one more auspicious thing to offer!"
Emperor Jing looked at Fang Zheng holding a long brass tube in one hand and said curiously, "Oh? Fang Qing actually has some treasures to offer to me. It's really a surprise to me. Tell me and have a look!"
"Your Majesty! This thing is called the Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains Mirror! You can see things thousands of miles through this mirror, and everything you see is the king's land!"
"This Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains Mirror is specially made for Your Majesty with the love, patience and filial piety of the people of Taoyuan County and thousands of taels of silver."
"To symbolize that our great scenery will last forever and last for thousands of years~"
As soon as Fang Zheng finished speaking, the expressions of the officials changed, and some began to cover their chests with painful expressions.
Sure enough... A sycophant is a sycophant. Even if he makes some achievements, he still eats shit!
Zheng Qiao gritted his teeth and pushed Li Yansong beside him.
"Mr. Li... look at him! Look at him!"
Li Yansong was speechless and looked at Fang Zhengyi with a flushed face. It took him a long time to squeeze out a sentence through his teeth.
"Fuck..."
The arrogant Fang Zhengyi seems to have come specifically to slap him in the face. Every time he praises him, he immediately puts on a villainous face. Could it be that he is deliberately trying to disgust me?
Emperor Jing took the telescope with a happy face and kept saying "good".
Fang Zheng approached Emperor Jing with a flattering look on his face: "Your Majesty, this thing should be looked at vertically! The small end should face the eyes."
Emperor Jing picked up the telescope and looked outside the palace door, and was suddenly shocked.
Then he turned left twice and right twice, and kept making sighing sounds from his mouth.
The hearts of the ministers were also raised. Looking at His Majesty's performance, could it be that... this thing can really be seen thousands of miles away as Fang Zhengyi said?
Of course, telescopes cannot see that far, but the ancients have always had the habit of exaggerating. A few hundred thousand soldiers and horses dared to be called a million soldiers.
Of course, Fang Zhengyi wants to carry forward this glorious tradition, since it doesn’t cost money to brag.
For a long time, Emperor Jing looked at the scenery in the distance, put down the telescope and exclaimed: "Good! This thing is really magical. It can see hundreds of feet away at a glance. If it is used on the battlefield, the enemy will not be able to take advantage of it." That’s it!”
"Fang Qing... This is another great achievement. How do you think I should reward you?"
Fang Zhengyi said modestly: "This is all the efforts made by the people of Taoyuan County to express gratitude to His Majesty. It is nothing more than spending some extra money. How dare I ask for anything in return!"
Emperor Jing looked at Fang Zheng and smiled. This guy was asking for money from me, that's all. Then give him money!
So he said: "I have already felt the filial piety in Taoyuan County, and I will grant Taoyuan County a free... one hundred taels of gold! It's up to you to accept it."
Fang Zheng lowered his head and curled his lips in disdain.
Emperor Jing smiled awkwardly, and he almost said it was tax-free in his excitement just now.
But when I think about Taoyuan County’s annual output... forget it’s tax-free! I'll give you some money.
Even so, a broken telescope could fool him into getting a hundred taels of gold. Fang Zhengyi was satisfied and quickly thanked him.
Emperor Jing continued: "Fang Qing, I wonder if there are more of this thing...?"
"Yes! The initial manufacturing cost of this thing is huge! But most of it is used for research and development. As long as the production link is opened, it can be mass-produced!"
"If Your Majesty needs it, I will order Taoyuan County to step up production and supply it to the army!"
Emperor Jing nodded: "Okay, I will order someone to contact you later."
I just promoted sanitary napkins to the palace, and today I received another order from the military. It is really a pleasure to work in sales in the palace.
Gao Xingjian suddenly saw Li Yuanzhao winking at him.
Fangzheng understood with all his heart, the prince was attracted to the telescope.
.............
Sure enough, after the court meeting, Li Yuanzhao eagerly came to Fang Zhengyi's side.
He said angrily: "Old Fang, you are not very interesting! You have such a good thing and you don't show it to me first!"
Fang Zheng glanced at him sideways: "Why are you so anxious? We want to have something. Now that Yan Guoan is gone, no one can care about us except those officials. I will take you out of the palace! Go back to the East Palace first."
Li Yuanzhao was overjoyed when he heard this.
After the two returned to the East Palace, Fang Zhengyi immediately asked Li Yuanzhao with a serious face: "During my absence, where exactly was the money I gave you spent?"
Li Yuanzhao chuckled: "It's nothing, just like what I just said. I went to investigate the prices while you were away, and I found out that the corruption in the palace is so serious."
"Later, I asked Liu Jin to investigate the situation of the people and found that many people were hungry, so I asked him to give away all the money."
"Anyway, I don't want to build Haw Par Park any more. It's not interesting."
"Lao Fang, what do you think I did?" Li Yuanzhao looked proud, waiting to be praised.
Fang Zheng curled his lips and said, "Not very good."
Li Yuanzhao became anxious and took out a notebook from his pocket, opened it and brought it to Fang Zhengyi. Names were written on it, and each name was stamped with a red handprint.
"Look! This is the book of all peoples. People who get money are grateful to me. Lao Fang, you are so short-sighted!"
Fang Zheng was speechless for a moment, aren't you spending money to buy merit...
"If Your Highness is doing these things out of gratitude, then you better not do it. Privately, the people will not only not thank you, but they may also laugh at you for taking advantage of you. Superheroes are all so dark..."
"Superhero? Although this word is quite vulgar, it is somewhat appropriate if it is not often used on me!"
"............"
Then Li Yuanzhao said angrily: "How come I have been taken advantage of! I sincerely do good deeds, and the people sincerely thank me! Old Fang, your mentality is too dark!"
Fang Zhengyi was a little helpless and didn't bother to explain anymore. Some words just didn't make sense at the moment.
However, this method of directly throwing coins will probably not make any money and will be laughed at behind the back. According to Founder's experience of wallowing in the mud for more than ten years, it cannot be wrong...
When Fang Zheng was silent, Li Yuanzhao suddenly said, "Lao Fang, I have no money. When will our sanitary napkins make money?"
Fang Zheng licked what Li Yuanzhao said, feeling a little awkward no matter how he heard it. He said casually: "It's almost time. You will make money in a few years. Make a lot of money!"
Hearing this, Li Yuanzhao said calmly: "That won't work. I still want to accumulate virtue and do good deeds and make quick money. I can't wait for a few years!"
"This..." Fang Zheng couldn't help but cover his forehead. Can giving away money still be addictive?
But when he thought of making money, Fang Zhengyi also became interested. Now that the prince could leave the palace at will, he had a lot of time to free up and do whatever he wanted in the capital!
Besides, isn’t it a pleasure to make money under the banner of the prince?
Fang Zheng's eyes lit up and he asked, "Are there any festivals recently?"
