Li Yansong was stunned for a moment and felt indescribably uncomfortable.
Mr. Fangzheng really doesn’t know how to speak human language!
But he still wanted to try harder: "You really don't listen to me and want to continue?"
As soon as Fang Zheng walked up to him, he said condescendingly: "Mr. Li, can you stop now?"
"This is the kind of person I am, and I will never give up until I achieve my goal."
Li Yansong spread his hands and said excitedly: "What is this? Why are you so radical? Stop now and I can help you make peace."
Fang Zheng sighed: "Has Mr. Li ever been hungry?"
"Of course I have been hungry! Which official in the world who came to Beijing to take the exam has not been hungry."
After several days of exams, the dry food I brought was dry and hard, and the food in the dormitory was light and watery. It was really uncomfortable to be hungry.
"No, Mr. Li has never been hungry. I'm talking about the kind of hunger where life is precarious, where you barely survive today and don't know how you will survive tomorrow."
"Real hunger makes you unable to have any distracting thoughts. If there is a person around you, you just hope that he will die and then eat to satisfy your hunger."
Li Yansong's throat was a little tight and he didn't dare to speak.
Fang Zhengyi said with a somewhat serious expression: "Have Mr. Li ever been to the disaster area to see it with his own eyes?"
"Never seen it."
"Okay, then let me tell Mr. Li what the disaster area looks like... Wherever the food shortage goes, there are ruins and new graves everywhere."
"When I go to people's homes, which one is full of cries and cries?"
"Unfortunately, I have seen it. Not only have I seen it, but I owe my survival to those hungry people who are about to starve to death."
"A group of dying people squeezed out only a little food to keep me alive today."
"Originally I didn't want to get too involved in this matter, but the prince's benevolent heart really makes me feel ashamed."
"How can I be afraid of not moving forward if I am dedicated to Zhan Shifu? In this case, what can I do if I am an enemy of all the officials?"
"Mr. Li, you are certainly far-sighted, but sometimes things don't require much wisdom."
"Maybe it just takes a little courage."
Li Yansong was speechless and just stared into Fang Zhengyi's eyes.
Seeing his firm attitude, she could only smile bitterly: "That's all, do whatever you want. I see that you have some potential, so don't destroy your future."
"I'm leaving."
After saying that, Li Yansong turned and left, his back full of desolation.
The surrounding reporters looked at Fang Zhengyi with bright eyes.
I didn’t expect Mr. Fang to be so righteous! Being able to hang out with him is worth it in this life!
Li Yansong, who had just walked out not long after, hurried back.
"I only have less than two thousand shi of food in my house! Remember to publish it in the newspaper to clarify!"
After speaking, he hurriedly left.
Fang Zhengyi smiled slightly and patted Shen Yi who was working at the desk next to him: "Remember! Li Yansong, the old man in the court, shed tears in the editorial office! I am sorry for the hardships of the people's livelihood. I wish that I would only keep 1,500 shi of food in my family, and the rest Donate all to the disaster area!”
When Li Yuanzhao heard this, he was dumbfounded and fell into confusion.
Shen Yi's heart trembled and his hands trembled.
A drop of ink falls on the paper and smudges out.
Li Yansong? He turned out to be Mr. Fang’s uncle!
Is there anyone who cheats on his relatives like this?
Shen Yi hesitated and said: "Master Fang... It seems that Li Gong didn't say those words. Besides, they are all relatives... This is too cruel!"
Fang Zheng had a serious look on his face: "It's my heartfelt voice, I heard it! Besides, it's for disaster relief that we are not relatives! Even if we are relatives, it doesn't matter, I have always been impartial and impartial!"
"The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility! It is my duty to donate more food to my family! I will publish it tomorrow, please note it to me!"
"Yes! Mr. Fang is so righteous!" Shen Yi stood up excitedly and saluted.
All the reporters in the room stood up excitedly.
What does it mean to be a scholar! This is the character of a literati!
Mr. Fang frantically sent his family's food to the disaster area, which was tantamount to cutting meat to feed the eagles!
If you hang out with such people, your face will be bright, and your ancestral graves will be filled with smoke!
work overtime! If I don’t work overtime, I’ll be too embarrassed to work in the newspaper office!

As expected by Fang Zhengyi, yesterday's newspaper was presented to Emperor Jing again when he went to court the next day.
Emperor Jing threw the newspaper on the imperial desk without even looking at it, and looked at Fang Zhengyi with a complicated expression.
You kid can do things well, but why do you do so recklessly?
This time, the prince is involved. Could it be that you want me to help you smooth things over?
When Fang Zheng saw Emperor Jing looking at him, he started winking.
There are only four big characters in my eyes! Your Majesty, save me!
The courtiers all stared at Fang Zhengyi angrily.
Zhang Shi jumped out impatiently!
He said angrily: "Your Majesty! I want to join Fang Zhengyi and use newspapers to spread rumors among the people! This will cause the court's reputation to be damaged!"
Fang Zheng said nothing and kept blinking at Li Yuanzhao.
Then the younger brother appeared!
Li Yuanzhao stood up and said: "Master Zhang! I am responsible for the Prince's Daily, so what does it have to do with Master Fang? Tell me why the reputation of the imperial court has been damaged?"
Zhang Shi looked at Fang Zhengyi bitterly.
Shameless! Always using the prince as a shield.
Then he looked at Emperor Jing and saw that Emperor Jing had no expression.
Zhang Shi gritted his teeth and said: "The newspapers ranked officials according to the food stored in their homes, and the amounts were false! I'm afraid the people will get resentful when they see this!"
"His Royal Highness is generous and benevolent, and it must have been Fang Zhengyi who instigated it!"
"Hey~ flatterer." A discordant voice came from the crowd.
Zhang Shi immediately glared and looked at Fang Zhengyi.
"Okay, stop arguing, Fang Zhengyi, I'm here to ask you, where did you get the amount of food stored in the homes of hundreds of officials recorded in the newspaper?" Emperor Jing said slowly.
As soon as Fang Zheng had some time to rest, he replied: "Your Majesty, I ordered my subordinates to figure it out."
"There will be some errors in it, it's not that accurate!"
"My lords, if you feel that what is said in the newspaper is wrong, you can tell me and I will publish a clarification in the newspaper tomorrow."
Zhang Shi immediately retorted: "Your Majesty! This is nonsense. The number of grain reserves in the newspaper is simply made up!"
"Where can I find 50,000 shi of food in my house! This was obviously made up by Fang Zhengyi!"
"Now, in just a few days, there have been such huge errors and omissions in the newspaper! Please let the newspaper be handed over to the management of the Hanlin Academy. It can only be published after the Hanlin Academy has reviewed it properly!"
"If we continue to let it run its course, I'm afraid it will cause a catastrophe!"
"Your Majesty, please agree!"
"I second the proposal!"
A large group of Hanlin and a group of other officials knelt down directly.
Fang Zheng narrowed his eyes and saw that this was a premeditation.
These people reacted very quickly... but they united in just one day.
Emperor Jing couldn't help but feel a headache after seeing it, and couldn't help but glare at Fang Zhengyi.
As we all know, the Zhang family does not have a grain store. How could he have so much grain in stock? Why don't you do some research? Why don't you find a reliable editor?
After lining up the mess, ask me if I have everything!
How dare you not discuss such a big matter with me? Not allowed to go to heaven for another two years?
"Everyone, get up. We'll discuss this later. There are more important things now."
"After the publication of this newspaper, the generals in the world will discuss it. It cannot be stopped, and it does not matter how much food you have in your family."
"Now, dear friends, you should actively donate food to calm the people's complaints. Otherwise, where is the prestige of the court? Let's talk about it. How much will each family donate?"
Fang Zhengyi couldn't help but extend his thumb.
This is called tacit understanding, Your Majesty is awesome!
