Inside the Yangxin Hall.
There were two rows of memorials piled up on Emperor Jing's desk.
Guo Tianyang stood aside as usual, and when the tea got cold, he immediately replaced it with hot tea.
Emperor Jing reviewed it for a long time, and after changing three cups of tea, he put down his brush and relaxed his muscles.
Suddenly he seemed to remember something, and he reached out and started rummaging through a pile of memorials.
I opened the books one by one but couldn't find the one I wanted, so I started to frown slightly.
Then he rubbed his eyebrows and murmured: "Why is it gone...where has it gone...shouldn't..."
Upon seeing this, Guo Tianyang quickly came to Emperor Jing's side and said earnestly: "Your Majesty, what are you looking for? This servant can help you find it."
Emperor Jing waved his hand: "Nothing... By the way, how is the situation between Fang Zhengyi and Yan Guoan recently? Is there any progress?"
"Back to Your Majesty, everything is fine with Master Yan."
"According to the factory guard's report, Dengjin Square is now in good order under the management of Mr. Yan. The streets are swept, smooth and orderly."
"And I heard that many scholars were gathered to recite poems and discuss Taoism in street pavilions. The people who passed by benefited a lot."
"The factory guard asked the clerk and said that this is called subtle influence. Over time, the people will naturally be educated."
"In just a few days, even the common people have been able to restrain themselves and return to politeness! The merchants who used to shout in the streets have become gentle and gentle when talking and no longer shout loudly."
"Many scholars and scholars in the community have praised Master Yan for his governance achievements!"
"All in all, it's very good! The people are all happy!"
"Oh?" Emperor Jing smiled and picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea. "Of course I don't have any doubts about Yan Qing's ability. It's natural to do well, but I didn't expect that he could do so well in just a few days!"
"Sigh... It's just a pity that the prince is not in tune with his temperament and can't listen to what he says. Otherwise, with his erudition, it would be more than enough to teach the prince."
"Although Fang Zhengyi does a good job, his temperament is a little out of control and not calm enough. I often feel uneasy."
Guo Tianyang was noncommittal, but he didn't say anything.
Anyway, he has learned that if he has anything to do with Fang Zhengyi, we won’t pry or say anything! If you can't afford to offend me, can you still afford to hide?
If you say anything wrong, you will be punished by the emperor.
You can't scold but you can't scold, you can't lick but you can't lick... That's it. If you give birth to me, Guo Tianyang, why give birth to Fang Zhengyi!
"What about Fang Zhengyi's side?" Emperor Jing asked.
Guo Tianyang began to hesitate. Fang Zhengyi's situation was really difficult to explain, a bit tricky...
"Huh? Why don't you speak?"
"Ah...yes, Your Majesty, the situation at Banshanfang is a bit special...There are no other changes, but it is said that the hygiene is very good."
"But...according to the factory guard's report...it was said that someone was spitting and defecating on the ground and was arrested by the street officials."
"People are quite complaining about this..."
Emperor Jing burst out laughing: "I know this Fang Zhengyi! It's even more outrageous in Banshanfang than in Taoyuan County."
"I think he might be a bit of a germaphobe. Didn't you get fined a few copper coins when we went to Taoyuan County?"
"But being arrested just for spitting is a bit excessive."
Guo Tianyang laughed twice.
"Yes... Mr. Fang is very good at hygiene."
"Also, the walls of Banshanfang have been painted with slogans to remind people to pay attention to hygiene and not to defecate in the open..."
"Master Fang even held a toilet lottery..."
"This is...?" Emperor Jing looked at Guo Tianyang in confusion. He seemed to have heard this word some time ago, but he didn't take it to heart. Now he suddenly remembered it when Guo Tianyang mentioned it again.
But what is a toilet lottery? It's too weird. Can the two words "toilet and lottery" be connected together?
Guo Tianyang explained: "It is to encourage people to use public toilets."
"As long as you go to the public restroom, you can participate in the lottery and get a prize of up to five taels of silver."
"However... this matter has also made the people of Banshanfang complain, saying that the government is cheating people! They trick people into going to the toilet and then don't pay them!"
Emperor Jing's expression began to look unnatural.
What are you talking about? What kind of loss did you suffer if I asked you to go to the toilet?
Are there so many problems with the lucky draw opportunity?
"It is said that after a few games, the people in Banshanfang who did not win the lottery started clamoring that they would never come back to Banshanfang again... to shit, and they wouldn't even give me any money!"
“…..”
Emperor Jing suddenly felt that the tea in his hand was no longer fragrant, and even felt a little nauseous, so he slowly put down the teacup.
"Excessive! Fang Zhengyi has gone too far. Has he done nothing else besides this?"
Emperor Jing couldn't believe it, and even thought there was something wrong with the factory guard's news.
He had seen Taoyuan County before, and Fang Zhengyi did nothing for no reason.
"Gone..."
Guo Tianyang also looked a little ugly.
Fang Zheng failed to live up to expectations! What can I do to make it look like I deliberately spoke ill of His Majesty around him?
Emperor Jing's face darkened: "What about the prince? What is the prince doing?"
"The prince... Fang Zhengyi organized a team of several thousand people for him, called the health team, and let the prince manage it, specifically responsible for the health of the village. Even the health management of the surrounding cities was taken over, and he It’s also in good order!”
Emperor Jing's face brightened slightly when he heard this.
He didn't care too much about the prince's management of the health team. After all, he had dealt with sergeants in the army.
Managing thousands of people is a big skill, and it is by no means as easy as it seems. It would be great if the prince can practice it.
He was very satisfied with Fang Zhengyi.
"The prince goes to the streets every day to inspect work and never disturbs the people, so his reputation is very good among the public."
Emperor Jing smiled again and praised, "Good! If nothing else, Fang Zhengyi is really good at teaching people."
"But... it would be a bit shameful to keep doing hygiene like this."
"Your Majesty, would you like to issue a decree so that Fang Zhengyi can actively adjust? If this continues, I'm afraid he will be far inferior to Lord Yan."
Emperor Jing picked up the tea again and took a sip, and said calmly: "No need, real gold is not afraid of fire. If you have real ability, what difference does it make if I say it or not?"
"There are still more than two months left, let's see how they perform."
"Your Majesty, Sir Fang Zhengfang has an urgent memorial." As he spoke, a young eunuch came into the palace with the memorial in his hands to report it.
Emperor Jing suddenly became energetic: "Send it up!"
Guo Tianyang hurriedly went down and presented the memorial, feeling a little strange in his heart.
His Majesty's reaction seemed a little unusual. He was rummaging through a pile of memorials just now. Could it be that he was looking for Fang Zhengyi's memorial?
Emperor Jing took the memorial, opened it and read it.
Guo Tianyang glanced curiously, and then his eyes suddenly opened wide.
TMD.....
The characters on the memorial were written in very large and crooked shapes, so they could be read clearly at a glance.
I saw it read: "My dearest and dearest Majesty, have you eaten? I haven't written a memorial to you for two days. The temperature dropped sharply last night. Please pay more attention..."
Emperor Jing glanced quickly, then closed the memorial and threw it aside.
He breathed a sigh of relief.
I haven't watched this thing for two days and I feel like something is missing.
Now, I feel comfortable...
