As soon as Fang Zheng agreed, Paba immediately smiled, but the situation changed in an instant.
"Master, I thought about it and let it go!"
"I'm not afraid of your jokes. I'm a poor official. I've never had so much money... I'm afraid I won't be able to take care of you if something goes wrong!" Fang Zhengyi said with a worried look on his face. "And fifty or sixty thousand taels were handed over to me so easily, making me feel like a liar."
"No! Even if Brother Fang lies to me, I will be happy to do so!" Paba quickly advised: "Brother Fang! Since I want to hand over this money to you, it means that I believe in your ability, and you have agreed. Don’t break your promise and get fat!”
"Everyone has a first time, don't be afraid!"
Fangzheng looked troubled and kept sighing.
When Paba saw this, he felt nervous again, fearing that things would not work out, so he continued to persuade him with good words.
"So...then I'll reluctantly agree! When will the money be delivered to my house?"
"Tomorrow! I'll deliver it tomorrow!"
"Well, keep a low profile and don't get discovered."
Paba added: "Brother Fang, don't worry! This little thing will never go wrong."
Fang Zhengyi couldn't help but smile and shake his head, his smile was slightly bitter.
This kind of performance made him even more happy in Paba's eyes, which showed that Fang Zhengyi was still a rigorous, steady and responsible person.
Little did he know that Fang Zheng was already happy.
There are also people rushing to give themselves money, which is unexpected.
In order to increase the income of the people in Banshanfang, a large number of projects have been launched.
I don’t know how much money was spent on the textile factory and the football field alone.
The health team's benefits and expenses are not small, and there are various tax reduction policies in the community, so life has been tight.
Of course Fang Zhengyi was not short of money, but he had no reason to use Taoyuan County's money to subsidize Banshanfang.
After all, Taoyuan County is my foundation!
Fortunately, some foreign friends have come forward and promised to add an extra ten thousand taels. Beirong people are very generous! An extra 10,000 taels is considered as labor fee for myself!
After all, His Majesty really has to make peace on his own.
If trade between the two countries can be promoted, it will be a great thing for Da Jing!
"Okay, leave this matter to me, I'll help you solve it!"
Praba breathed a long sigh of relief and felt completely relieved.
Then the two started chatting, mostly about light-hearted topics such as customs from all over the world.
After soaking for an unknown amount of time, Chi Lie beside him already felt a little depressed.
He got up and left beeping.
Li Yuanzhao and others stared at his back and started pointing.
Fang Zheng was speechless when he saw it. The prince's nature was completely released now.
Nothing formal at all!
Staring at others ∑^) The discussion is endless!
Seeing Chi Lie leaving, everyone couldn't wait any longer and stood up one after another.
Fang Zheng said: "Master, there are some exciting programs coming up! I'd like to take advantage of your light to take a look today."
"What program?"
Fang Zheng shrugged. He hadn't seen it either. He didn't know what new tricks these merchants could play in private.
Everyone got up and left the bath, got dressed according to the waiter's guidance, and moved to another room.
Upon entering, Fang Zhengyi was immediately disappointed.
Chuanjin’s program is really just a program, I thought it was some fancy service.
There are more than a dozen chairs in the large room in front of you, and there is a small table next to it, with some snacks such as melon seeds and snacks placed on it.
The most eye-catching thing is a stage in front.
The so-called exciting program is actually just watching a singing show.
I didn’t expect to be fooled by the guy!
But once you've arrived, you'll be at ease. A few people took their seats. After the seats were filled one after another, the actors came on stage to start the show!
As the drum beat sounded, several familiar shapes suddenly appeared in front of Fang Zheng.
The plot on this stage also started to unfold without beginning or end.
Familiar crazy monk...familiar snake spirit, the background changed from the temple to the sea.
As the plot progresses
Fang Zhengyi's slightly smiling expression froze on his face.
...
Aren’t these bad shows already explicitly prohibited? It was moved underground!
It’s still fucking acting, and it’s getting more and more outrageous!
I don't know how long it took, but I finally finished watching the show while holding back my nausea.
During this period, Paba hesitated several times and looked at Fang Zhengyi with a strange expression.
This play was really weird. He could understand Jingguo's customs more or less, but he couldn't figure out the relationship between the characters in this play.
Why did Xu Xian pull the tendons of two snakes?
Why was Fahai imprisoned in Leifeng Pagoda?
Xu Xian's surname is Xu, why did the man named Fa Shilin call him dad... shouldn't his dad's surname be Fa?
........
Praba's thoughts were extremely confused!
However, he watched the prince's performance with great interest. Could it be that his understanding of Jing Guo was so wrong?
After the play was over, the waiter saw the guests off enthusiastically.
When he came to the door, he asked Fang Zheng: "Guests, are you satisfied with today's performance?"
Fang Zhengyi smiled reluctantly: "Isn't this play banned? Why is it still being performed?"
The waiter looked around and said cautiously: "Sir, please don't tell anyone outside. The government will punish you if they find out."
"This show is indeed banned, but I can't help but everyone likes to watch it!"
"On the Mid-Levels Stage, there is still a performance of General Serving the Country. Who would want to watch it after watching it for several months?"
"The government is well fed, and the people have to watch the show...it's not in anyone's business."
Fang Zhengyi's expression became more and more unkind: "What? Is it useless for the government to talk? Aren't you afraid that someone will come to investigate?"
The clerk waved his hand indifferently: "I'm just checking. I'm just turning a blind eye. Who is really in charge?"
"The people are watching a show, but the sky won't fall!"
Oh shit! This is outrageous!
Fang Zheng showed no expression and patted the guy on the shoulder: "Well, not bad, do a good job!"
"Hey! Okay, the guests, please leave quickly!"
After everyone went out, Paba asked doubtfully: "Brother Fang, what did the guy mean just now?"
"Oh, the play just now was actually a forbidden play in the theater, but it made the master laugh!"
"Banned? Why banned? Is there anything special about this play?" Prabha was still full of doubts.
Fang Zhengyi smiled slightly: "We, Dajing, are a country of etiquette and civilization. How can we tolerate such vile things openly appearing in our country!"
"If a country wants to be strong and prosperous, it must first barbarize its body and civilize its spirit. How can the spirit be civilized by watching this kind of drama?"
"Master, the people of Beirong should do the same. They should be allowed to watch some positive dramas every day, every day!"
"In this way, the family and the country can be united as one, and the top and bottom can be united as one, don't you think?"
Praba looked thoughtful when he heard this.
Then he said in awe: "That's right! What Brother Fang said makes sense! I've learned a lesson!"
At the same time, I couldn't help but feel a little shocked.
If Fang Zhengyi can be so clueless and tell the truth frankly, an honest man will be able to take action!
It seems that Jingguo’s teaching method is indeed unique and has even been integrated into all aspects of life!
King Khan should also give orders and learn from his methods.
If things continue like this, what will the state of Jingguo be like a hundred years from now...
As he was thinking about it, Paba suddenly broke into a cold sweat.
As soon as Fang Zheng saw that it was getting late, he said to Paba: "Master, it's getting late. You should go back to the guesthouse to rest early and make more preparations. We have to meet with His Majesty the day after tomorrow."
"Let Lufa take you back to the guest house. I want to accompany the prince back to the palace, so I won't send you off."
Prabha nodded silently.
"Brother Fang, what we discussed before..."
"Don't worry, a gentleman's words are hard to follow, so I will do my best!"
Praba was immediately relieved, and this trip was a great achievement.
Then he saluted Li Yuanzhao, turned around and left with Chilie Lufa.
Seeing the three people leaving, Fang Zhengyi immediately asked Zhang Biao: "Zhang Biao, how is your injury?"
Zhang Biao looked at Chi Lie's back with a smile on his lips: "I'm not injured."
"That big man is really powerful. His strength is scary. If you continue to compete with him, your forearm may be broken."
"So I took off the force at that time. It was just a dislocation. It had no impact."
"Tsk, I should have taken off my clothes to compete with him. It's such a burden!"
After saying that, Zhang Biao stretched out his hand and shook it twice.
Li Yuanzhao was stunned when he heard this: "Is this still possible?"
"Haha, it's nothing. Although I'm not as strong as him, he shouldn't be much better..."
Li Yuanzhao said excitedly: "Then why don't you fight with him and beat him down!"
Zhang Biao said nothing and turned to look at Fang Zhengyi.
Fang Zhengyi asked: "Have you ever beaten him?"
"It's a good fight, but it depends on how he fights. If he arranges a fight in advance, I will first go back to the county to find twenty sharp archers to ambush him along the way, and then..."
"I said one on one!"
"Then how can we score points! This guy is too big and his speed is definitely not as fast as mine. As soon as my poisonous needle comes out, he will be killed within ten breaths of my custody!"
Fang Zhengyi was a little speechless. Brother Biao seemed to have gone astray. He only liked to play showy tricks with his magical power. He could attack from behind and would never appear in front of him. Although the effect was outstanding, his personality was completely gone!
Li Yuanzhao was so happy that he almost grinned behind his ears, and asked quickly: "What if there is a head-on confrontation without other means?"
Zhang Biao showed a thoughtful expression, which made Fang Zhengyi a little nervous.
It's rare to see him behave like this!
When Brother Biao thought about it, things must be serious!
He closed his eyes, thinking in his mind, and then said, "I don't know, the fighting time is too short, it's hard to say."
"His limbs are very long. It would be very difficult to win with bare hands! But his weakness was exposed while taking a bath. If he had been armed with ordinary weapons... his chances might have been improved!"
"Master... I want to have a fight with him, an honest fight!"
"no!"
Fang Zheng immediately rejected it.
Zhang Biao was the first personal bodyguard to follow him. He was not sure of victory and would never let him take risks.
Swords have no eyes. Once something happens, it will be in your heart forever.
Zhang Biao looked disappointed and stepped aside and remained silent.
Li Yuanzhao saw this and said loudly: "Old Fang, why are you coercing me? It's just a fight!"
"I'm just a coward!"
The loss will be huge if we lose, and there will be no benefit if we win. I have a problem with my head, so let Zhang Biao go up and die?
"..."
"Forget it, let's not mention this for now!" Li Yuanzhao approached Fang Zhengyi and asked, "Lao Fang, what are the Beirong people here for this time? Will there be a war?"
"A war? That's impossible. Beirong's national strength has been depleted a lot. We have been resting and recuperating for a few years. What are they fighting for?"
"There have been many disasters in the country, and there has been no major friction with Beirong recently. How can we start a war?"
Fang Zheng glanced sideways at Li Yuanzhao and asked, "Why, does His Highness like war so much?"
"Of course! I have nowhere to apply what I have learned. A man who lives between heaven and earth should be on the battlefield!" Li Yuanzhao said excitedly.
Fang Zhengyi sighed: "Okay, that's good! But has His Highness ever thought about the price of a war? Who is the price?"
"I understand. I support you with both hands. The country is vast and there will be constant friction on the border. Are you still worried that there will be no war to fight?"
Li Yuanzhao was a little disdainful, and Lao Fang didn't understand men's romance, so there was no need to talk about it!
As soon as Fang Zheng realized that he was being looked down upon, he quickly changed the subject: "Your Highness, haven't new plays been banned in Banshanfang? What happened to the play we watched today? You have been supervising it recently!"
Li Yuanzhao laughed twice: "Why ban it? I think it's good... I just watched a new play two days ago."
Fang Zheng was immediately depressed.
Oh shit! You kid actually took the lead in breaking the rules!
If there were no mobile phones in this era, I would have caught them all for you!
"Oh, that's all. Since your Highness has seen it all, you can't control it, so why not just let it go and act how you want."
Fang Zhengyi was really powerless. This kind of obscene drama was so popular that he would inevitably have to deal with the trolls in the court.
He didn't think that being banned was a good thing, he just wanted to save a little trouble, but seeing this situation, there was nothing he could do to stop him.
There are too many lice but it doesn’t itch, and the prince takes the lead in watching, so be it!
Li Yuanzhao was silly and amused: "Old Fang, have you changed your mind? You should have let go a long time ago. It's just unnecessary!"
"You don't know how strong the opinions of the people are. Several merchants in Mid-Levels Plaza have closed down, and the people have nothing to do!"
"There's a lot of discussion down there now! Aren't you going to let the people speak?"
"Let me see, as long as they don't commit murder or break the law, they can do whatever they want."
You are quite open-minded and think broadly!
Fang Zheng asked in response: "Your Highness is not afraid of being scolded by the courtiers? And many people are not satisfied with the new play!"
Li Yuanzhao looked fearless: "It doesn't matter, I have been scolded since childhood, I just think they are farts!"
"As for those people who don't like new dramas, just don't watch them! Are they satisfied if those who love dramas have nothing to watch?"
"I heard what the guy just said was very good, so what does the people say? Let the people speak, and the sky will not fall!"
OK! It seems that not only did the court official fail, but the prince also lost his temper.
Yan Guoan became angry after hearing this!
However, Fang Zhengyi was quite relieved: "Your Highness is wise!"
............
On the way back to Honglu Guest House.
The three of them were speechless.
Rufa had nothing to say, while Paba was thinking back on what he had seen and heard during the day, with many thoughts on his mind.
This trip to Banshanfang really opened his eyes.
His views on Jingguo have also changed a lot. Beirong should have a lot to learn from.
Chilie on the side kept grabbing it with his left hand, as if his hand was feeling a little uncomfortable.
Paba looked sideways, saw it at a glance, and asked doubtfully: "Chilie, what's wrong with your hand?"
Chi Lie spread his palms and smiled.
"That Zhang Biao... is very powerful! I didn't expect someone from Jingguo to be so weak, that someone could compete with me in terms of strength."
“When I was arm wrestling before, I was able to release my strength in time.”
"His grip strength was amazing. Before he could release the force, my index finger was broken by his grip."
.........
