After bidding farewell to Liu Zhongshun, Fang Zhengyi continued to lead people towards the city.
As I walked, I felt something was wrong.
Just as they were about to reach the city gate, more and more people poured out of the city gate.
By the time the large group of people arrived at the city gate, the scene was already crowded with people, and most of them focused their excited eyes on Fang Zhengyi.
Someone could no longer hold back and shouted hello to Fang Zhengyi.
Soon the city gate became a sea of joy, and Fang Zhengyi was surrounded by people who were surrounded by surprises.
Words such as "good luck to the master, welcome to the master home" and so on rang in my ears.
He didn't send anyone to notify him to come back, so why did everyone in the county come out? It is estimated that the people at the construction site just ran back to the city to spread the news.
Fang Zheng was overjoyed, his heart was filled with a huge sense of satisfaction, and he waved his hands left and right.
This is what it feels like to be a fucking emperor!
Before, he was just a puppet in name only in the Kingdom of Jin, but when he returned to the county, he felt like he was acting like an arm.
The laughter and laughter of the people continued until Ao Chen led a large group of officers and soldiers out of the city gate.
Fang Zheng stretched out his hand and shook it, and the whole place stopped.
Then he said: "Okay, let's all disperse. Let's go back to our homes. Master, I will resign this time. I will live in the county. I will see you in the future when I have plenty of time."
Damn it! The master resigned! ?
"Well done!"
"Master is not leaving!!"
A group of people cheered together, and the audience burst into applause....
Sister Chu Qinghan was stunned, looking at Fang Zhengyi's back in a daze.
This is not like the appeal that an official can have, but more like... a belief.
Fang Zheng didn't know whether to cry or laugh, he resigned, and the people below were congratulating him...it didn't seem like they were wishing him well.
But why does this scene seem so familiar?
After closing his eyes and thinking for a moment, Fang Zheng suddenly remembered.
Isn't this just Sun Wukong quitting Bi Mawen and returning to Huaguo Mountain...
"Okay! Let's break up. The noise made my ears hurt, sir." Fang Zheng waved his hand.
Seeing this, the people could only reluctantly disperse and return to the county in three steps.
Seeing that the people were almost gone, Fang Zheng turned around and said to the two hundred Jinyi guards: "You should go home and rest for three days before returning to the capital for duty."
"Yes! Thank you, Master!" The Jin Yiwei thanked them all, and then rode into the city.
Outside the city gate, only Ao Chen was left.
Fang Zheng dismounted and started walking. Ao Chen came to greet him and said with concern: "Master, did you suffer any injuries in the Kingdom of Jin?"
The people didn't know what happened to Fang Zhengyi. Ao Chen was in charge of Taoyuan County and had already heard the inside story from Xiao Tao's mouth.
After months of being on tenterhooks, I felt relieved now that Fang Zheng was back.
Fang Zheng nodded and said, "Nothing, princess and the others are all in the county?"
Ao Chen said: "They are all here. I just heard the news from the people that the master has returned to the county. As for Princess Xiaotao and the others, I am afraid that there will be too many people and ask them to wait at home."
"Master, these two are..." Ao Chen looked at the Chu Qinghan sisters who were still riding on the horse.
"Sir, my new wife, come home with me soon."
Ao Chen gave a thumbs up, showing great admiration, and whispered: "Master, I admire you! But your Majesty, you won't have any problems with this, right?"
"Oh, what's the problem? Sir, what's wrong with my current status and my current status in marrying a few more people! Who dares to have an opinion!" Fang Zhengyi said arrogantly.
"Let's go to the city. I haven't been back for so long. If there are any major changes in the county, please report them one by one."
"Yes, sir!"
...
In the county, Ao Chen and Fang Zhengyi were walking side by side, keeping a close eye on all the big and small things that happened in the city.
People on both sides of the street paid attention and saluted when Fang Zheng approached.
Fang Zheng took the trouble to smile and signal.
To say this feeling, it is really cool.
Not only that, it is different from the kind of love that Alibai's pure oral pleasure aroused by fooling the people.
The people of Taoyuan County have deep feelings and strong interests, which are far beyond the comparison of the people of Pantai City.
Ao Chen continued to talk: "Before the prince left, he came to the county and took away a lot of supplies from the firearms institute, including grenades..."
"I know this, no need to say more, next item."
"It still concerns the prince. When the prince was in the county, I asked His Highness if he could allow hot air balloons to be released in the county, and His Highness agreed. Therefore, the county opened hot air balloons to the people in the county. Each ride costs one penny. No. There are few people queuing up to get in, and the income is quite high.”
"Yeah... Got it." Fang Zheng nodded.
Originally, the hot air balloon was somewhat confidential, but now that the biggest opponent in the north has been defeated, it is okay to let it go. It is also a good thing for the economy.
"During your absence, the county has been recruiting craftsmen on a large scale and has trained a large number of skilled workers to make pocket watches. Now they have begun to be sold in large quantities in the capital, and the price outside the county is one thousand taels."
Fang Zheng thought for a while and said: "There is no need to raise the price so high. After all, many people use it, and it won't be long before other merchants will imitate it. Let's establish a high-quality and low-priced brand, and sell it at a price close to the cost. Sales. The high-end ones are still priced at a high price, and the dials are inlaid with more glass diamonds. The hanging chain can also be replaced with pure gold.
“Clocks and watches are an important source of income for the county, and both high-end and low-end products are in the hands of the county.”
Ao Chen remembered it in his heart and said: "There is also Pingwan County. Businessmen in the county have been encouraged to go to Pingwan County to do business, and they have gained a lot. However, I heard that Pingwan County's neighboring county, Xinzhang County, has taken up another post. The new county magistrate is making drastic improvements and denounces Pingwan County’s chaotic folk customs. It is said that the new magistrate is from the Han Dynasty.”
"There seems to be a tendency to compare Pingwan County to that of Pingwan County. I wonder if you have any news?"
Fang Zhengyi frowned and shook his head.
When he first came back, he really didn't know about this incident. It was probably the people in the DPRK and China who opposed trade who realized that he was connected with Yang Fengfan and were secretly supporting him.
Therefore, a new person was introduced to compete with Pingwan County and prevent the expansion of business. This is the only possibility. I'm afraid things are not going as smoothly as imagined.
"There is no news, but this is obviously aimed at me. I estimate that the imperial court will issue an order in the next two days to deprive me of my official status. Without my official status, I cannot interfere too much, and let me do my business as usual. It’s best not to care too much about Xinzhang County.”
"In addition, now that the Kingdom of Jin has been defeated and trade between the two countries is about to begin, there are many opportunities to make a fortune there. Let us publicize it below and let interested merchants go to the border towns to do business."
Ao Chen hesitated and said: "I'm afraid this won't be easy. The Jin Kingdom is far away and very dangerous. The people in our county may not be willing to go."
Fang Zheng said with a straight face: "Although there will be some risks on the road, the opportunities to make money are much more stable. Many of the goods from the Kingdom of Jin are very popular in my country. Is such a big bonus going to be given away to others in vain?"
"Besides, how much danger can there be? We have returned with a great victory. There is almost no possibility of the Jin Kingdom rising again in the short term. The current situation is the best. Moreover, the prince is in the capital to help me. If I want to go through some procedures, it is also convenient and urgent. .”
"A face with a great view and a document of clearance from the great view are the passport to the safest place in the world!"
"What's there to be afraid of? Let's go out and walk sideways. You have to handle this matter carefully and mobilize as much as possible. If anyone needs help below, please help."
