The convoy returning to Beijing set off.
The people who saw him off were shouting loudly, and they rushed to the roadside, accompanying him for a long distance.
Many people even shouted at Mr. Fang to walk slowly.
Fang Zheng couldn't see this and hid directly in the carriage.
I was relieved when I walked all the way out.
Get off the carriage and switch to riding a horse.
The carriage was really not very comfortable, so it was better to ride on horseback.
The convoy split into two teams.
Taoyuan County's first team, Emperor Jing's dragon chariot was at the rear.
Maybe I miss my son.
As the people gradually disappeared from sight, the red-faced prince was summoned to the dragon chariot. It was unknown what the father and son were talking about.
Fang Zhengyi was accompanied by Xie Xian, who continued to report on Jian Jiang's situation.
"Master, we came out with one hundred thousand taels, and we spent a lot this time."
"Everything that should be put into the treasury has already been put into the treasury."
"After deducting the expenses of helping the old, weak, orphans and widows, we now have 150,000 taels in the account, plus 2,000 acres of fertile land, a boat, Fenghualou clubhouse, and two good houses."
"I have arranged for people to manage it before I leave."
"Mainly the consulting fees for businessmen and agency fees for some workers, as well as advertising design fees, Fenghua Building membership fees..."
"We have arranged for farmers to plant sweet potatoes on two thousand acres of land, with rent-free for five years."
"And this is the jewelry you asked me to take from Liu Xun."
Xie Xian said as he took the baggage he was carrying behind him and opened it. It contained a lot of beautiful jewelry, hairpin bracelets and the like.
Fang Zhengyi nodded with satisfaction: "Not bad! This trip is not in vain!"
"Leave me one thousand taels to use to get some benefits for the newspaper, and one hundred thousand taels to return to the county and return to the treasury. Let the rest be divided among the brothers."
"This is your labor fee. This trip is not easy."
Xie Xian smiled happily, one person can share nearly two thousand taels! This trip was so worth it!
The master is indeed generous!
"It's our duty to help the master with things!"
"Then give me the money back."
After getting the advantage, Fangzheng rolled his eyes and walked to the front.
Seeing Lao Qi in front of him, he approached him and asked: "Lao Qi! What happened to the shock-absorbing stick I asked you to customize? It didn't work!"
Lao Qi was puzzled: "That's impossible! I made it carefully for two days and even tested it."
"It must be shock-absorbing!"
Fang Zhengyi was also confused. It didn't make sense. Lao Qi's craftsmanship was indeed impeccable.
"How did you test it?"
"After making it, I smashed it against the wall. My hands didn't feel numb even after hitting it for a whole day! I also carved anti-slip patterns on the handle, which feels very good. Master, you still can't believe my craftsmanship?"
"........."
.....................
After traveling for more than ten days, I finally returned to the capital.
After saying goodbye to Emperor Jing, Fang Zheng rushed to Taoyuan County without stopping.
Along the way, a pair of princes showed great attentiveness, which almost made the prince cry.
This time when I returned to the county, in addition to people from Taoyuan County, I also brought Li Yuanzhao with me.
After returning from Jianjiang, Emperor Jing was also extremely generous to the prince.
He agreed without thinking about the leave, and Li Yuanzhao naturally followed him happily.
After leaving the city gate and walking not far, I saw the road built by Taoyuan County.
The straight road is a sight to behold.
After building another section, it can be connected to the official road, but Fang Zhengyi made arrangements in advance not to be too close to the capital, so it is considered to be completely completed at this point.
After walking on the newly built road, the horse's pace became a little brisker.
The fatigue along the way was actually relieved a lot.
However, there was still no one on the road, which made Fang Zheng doubtful.
It doesn't make sense... This road has been built, and it's been left here openly and no one is using it?
But they were almost arriving at the county, so Fang Zhengyi didn't think much about it.
Riding on a horse, blowing in the wind, he took out the remaining snacks from the package and handed them to Li Yuanzhao.
"Your Highness, eat! The last bit of beef is dried."
Li Yuanzhao sat on the horse and stared at the ground in a daze, not knowing what he was thinking.
He came back to his senses when he heard Fang Zheng call him, took the beef jerky, and said touchedly: "Old Fang, you are so kind to me."
"We must have been brothers in our previous life."
"That is!"
Li Yuanzhao looked bitter and resentful:
"Oh, you don't know, Lao Fang. I was embarrassed to tell you all this time. Last time, my father got a broken stick from nowhere and beat me! He even took it with him on the road like a treasure."
"I'm so... you don't know how painful it is to hit someone with that stick! I was scared when I saw it in the car."
"Tsk, how wicked. You said there are only one or two people around His Majesty. Who can do such a wicked thing? Find a stick for His Majesty!"
Fang Zhengyi had a smile on his face and quickly changed the subject.
"Hey! What was your Highness thinking just now?"
Hearing this, Li Yuanzhao lowered his head and continued to look at the road.
Licking his lips, he hesitated: "I told you not to laugh at me."
"Definitely not!" Fang Zheng assured with a slap on his chest.
"Tell me, the road is so flat. If you put a few small wheels on your shoes, would you be able to run very fast?"
"..."
When Li Yuanzhao heard that Fang Zheng didn't reply, he turned around and asked, "Do you think so, Lao Fang!?"
Fang Zheng looked at him with a smile: "Palace Jade Wine!"
"???" Li Yuanzhao was confused.
"Old Fang, what are you talking about? Is there this kind of wine in the palace? Don't worry about that for now, do you think you can run fast with wheels on your shoes!?"
Founder was so excited.
He ignored Li Yuanzhao and said to himself: "Your Highness, you must remember to tell the historian when you go back that I, Fang Zhengyi, invented the telephone!"
"Do you still have that banknote? I'll draw a few more for you when you get back!"
Li Yuanzhao became anxious and said reluctantly: "What are you talking about? I'm asking you, can you run fast with wheels on your shoes?"
"Yes! Yes! Yes! Your Highness, stop asking!"
Seeing him being so perfunctory, Li Yuanzhao looked disdainful: "You don't believe me! I'll find someone to make one myself when I go back. It will definitely work!"
Fang Zhengyi was completely depressed.
A big embarrassment to the time traveler! Roller skating? Someone else is rushing ahead of me to register a patent? !
This journey has been tangled all the way to the city gate.
When the city gate guard saw that it was Fang Zhengyi, he was immediately overjoyed and wanted to run into the city, but Fang Zhengyi hurriedly stopped him.
"Let me ask you, this road has been repaired, why is it that no one is taking it? Are there no outsiders coming to Taoyuan County?"
The guard thought for a moment: "What a shame! Sir, you don't know something. People occasionally came to our place in the past."
"After the road is repaired, we are afraid that too many people will come. They won't be allowed to enter the city. After a while, no one will come!"
I see.
Fang Zheng nodded and rode into the city.
Along the way, people kept saying hello to Fang Zhengyi, and many people even followed him.
The people of Taoyuan look like crazy fans chasing stars.
Fang Zhengyi naturally smiled and returned the greetings one by one.
It’s great to be back home, I feel so confident!
