It was already night when Yang Fan rushed to Fangshan City, where the site had just been selected and the foundation was being laid.
"How could it come so fast!"
After receiving the notice, Li Zhengxuan, the Minister of Rites, and Honglu Temple Minister hurriedly changed into their official uniforms and quickly headed outside.
As soon as I arrived outside, I saw Zhang Wenlong and other great scholars arriving.
A group of people looked at each other and couldn't help but murmur to themselves as they headed outside. They all felt that a storm was about to come. I'm afraid Factory Supervisor Yang was coming with bad intentions!
Not long after, they arrived outside the camp.
I saw a young man wearing a python robe and a black cloak sitting on a chair, surrounded by Xichang factory guards carrying long knives and heavy crossbows, their feminine and solemn aura ready to attack.
Although they were all at the lowest level of Confucianism and had always looked down upon these eunuchs, they did not dare to ignore Yang Fan sitting in the middle!
This newly promoted West Factory Supervisor!
After all, there are rumors in the outside world that he can compete with Dongchang factory director Jia Shi'an for supremacy by extracting the divine treasure, which is no less than a powerful person in the realm of gods!
They don't want to suffer in front of such a strong person!
"I've met Factory Governor Yang!"
Everyone salutes.
Even though the factory governor of Xichang was only a third-rank official, he was a typical example of low status and power, not to mention that Yang Fan had the power to supervise all affairs here.
That's where the real power lies.
Even Li Zhengxuan, the Minister of Rites, and Wang Dongchen, the Minister of Honglu Temple, looked respectful.
Yang Fan drank tea leisurely and looked at the people kneeling on the ground expressionlessly. He did not ask them to get up, but said lightly: "Our family is in a very bad mood."
This sentence as the beginning made everyone present feel a sinking feeling.
"So, our family wants to kill people."
This is the second sentence.
Not only Li Zhengxuan, Wang Dongchen, but also a group of great scholars including Zhang Wenlong felt the dark and profound murderous intent behind his words!
It was as if there was a knife hanging above his head, ready to chop down at any time.
Chilling.
At this time, Yang Fan continued:
“On our journey along the way, we have seen people dying of hunger and disasters all over the place, but there are still people who are recruiting migrant workers on a large scale and diverting relief grains from granaries in various places!”
"Our family doesn't know what is more important than relieving the victims!"
As soon as these words came out, Zhang Wenlong's eyes lit up, and he glanced at Li Zhengxuan and Wang Dongchen with a look of pleasure.
When Li Zhengxuan and Wang Dongchen heard this, their faces suddenly turned pale.
How could he not know that Yang Fan was targeting both of them!
"Which adult here is willing to give us a good explanation?"
Yang Fan's eyes slowly settled on the faces of Li Zhengxuan and Wang Dongchen.
Li Zhengxuan suppressed the fear in his heart and finally said: "Director Yang, this matter is the result of a joint discussion by the Ministry of Rites. The entry of foreigners into the country is a time to demonstrate the majesty and etiquette of our Ming Dynasty..."
"Dignity and etiquette?"
Yang Fan raised the corners of his mouth.
"good."
Li Zhengxuan said sternly, "Rites are the foundation of a family and a country! Our Ming Dynasty is a country of etiquette, so we should have the bearing of a superior state. We should build cities to calm their hearts and store food to satisfy their bellies. Only then can we practice enlightenment..."
"What a big joke!"
Yang Fan interrupted him unceremoniously and said in a cold voice, "Is this your gift for neglecting your own people, allocating large amounts of relief food, and allowing them to die of cold and hunger? You also build cities and stockpile food for foreigners. How can you build a city and provide food for the people of the Ming Dynasty? We see that you are putting the cart before the horse and learning all your knowledge from dogs!"
After saying these words, Li Zhengxuan's face turned blue and white.
However, he believed that he was not wrong!
After a moment of pause, he spoke again: "Your Majesty has the heart to swallow up all the worlds. We should share your worries, appease the foreigners, and use the hearts of the foreigners for our own use. Only then can we form customizations for the subsequent subjugation of the people of all worlds." Set an example!"
"Factory Supervisor Yang has never been exposed to this kind of practice, so it's normal to be confused. Compared with the disaster in Youzhou, foreigners are the most important thing at the moment."
Li Zhengxuan's expression gradually returned to calm, "My thoughts are all about the Ming Dynasty, and I have no selfish motives in maintaining the etiquette of my state! If Factory Governor Yang thinks that I am at fault, then I am willing to return to the capital with the Factory Governor and wait. Your Majesty is disappointed."
"Are foreigners the most important?"
Yang Fan looked at him expressionlessly, "Then according to your opinion, what should be done if foreigners come?"
Li Zhengxuan said: "Divide the land into a city, provide its residence, money and food, and divide and rule it with the local people."
"What if they do evil?"
Yang Fan asked again.
"Foreigners who first came to the Ming Dynasty will inevitably behave in a biased manner. Education should be the main thing, and punishment should be the supplement."
Li Zhengxuan obviously had a set of methods of doing things, saying, "For young foreigners, arrange for them to go to school and learn our Ming Dynasty classics. In addition, we urge students from various colleges, including women's colleges, to communicate more with them and accompany them to study, so that these foreigners can experience our The enthusiasm of the Ming Dynasty will not make it feel neglected, and gradually make it sincerely join the Ming Dynasty!"
Hearing this, Yang Fan smiled.
The coldness in the smile made everyone present shiver.
Even people who are not familiar with him know that the director of the West Factory is angry.
"What a divide and conquer strategy, what a strategy to accompany reading, feel the enthusiasm, don't be left in the cold."
The tea cup in Yang Fan's hand was crushed into powder and dripped from the seam of his hand.
He finally got up.
He stepped in front of Li Zhengxuan.
"I ignore the dangers of my people in the Ming Dynasty, blindly treat foreigners with servility, and talk about it in such a high-sounding way! It makes people laugh when they think about it!"
"You rotten scholars who learn knowledge from a dog's belly are simply a disgrace to our Ming Dynasty!"
"Come here, lock our house!"
"yes!"
Yang Fan gave the order and Zheng Weinian stepped forward immediately.
"I am the Minister of Rites and the third rank of the imperial court. Who dares to attack me!"
When Li Zhengxuan saw this, he stood up suddenly and glared at Zheng Weinian. His fierce aura made Zheng Weinian, the newly accomplished Blood Martial Saint, feel his breath suffocated and he was forced to retreat!
"Is he a third-rank official in the imperial court?"
Yang Fan sneered, "How dare you do it in front of our family!"
Uh-huh!
He raised his hand suddenly, and the invisible aura suppressed him hard. Li Zhengxuan was instantly knocked back to his original shape and fell to the ground exhausted.
"Go and lock him up! They say great Confucians cultivate classics. Let us dig open his belly and see how much etiquette, law, and righteousness is inside!"
"yes!"
Zheng Weinian laughed ferociously, led others forward, picked up Li Zhengxuan with a secret iron chain, and sealed his power!
clang!
The long knife was unsheathed and stabbed into Li Zhengxuan's stomach. Then he put it down and blood and flesh spurted out.
"you!"
Li Zhengxuan struggled to speak, but someone put a sleeper into his mouth!
Zheng Weinian looked at the flesh and blood and internal organs scattered on the ground and said, "Reporting to your lord, I didn't find any classics on etiquette, law and justice."
"oh."
Yang Fan said slowly, "It seems that our family has not misunderstood him at all. No wonder such an empty-minded person would make such a ridiculous decision and deserve such an end!"
While speaking, his eyes were directed at Wang Dongchen, the minister of Honglu Temple.
Wang Dongchen's heart trembled, his scalp almost exploded, and he screamed crazily in his heart.
"Don't come over here!"
