…
Of course, Fang Zhengzheng couldn't explain to Zhang Yangping how the money came from. After all, there were tens of thousands of taels of silver notes in it that he earned by selling Pingyang's Xue Ruyu.
Therefore, he could only emphasize that the money was earned in a serious way.
Although Zhang Yangping was a little skeptical, he finally believed Fang Zhengyi's words, because he had even become a fourth-rank official, so what else is impossible
Next, Zhang Yangping asked Zhang Li to inform the villagers to gather in the square. First, he wanted to pay homage to Fang Zhengzheng when he returned to his hometown to visit his relatives. Second, he wanted to announce Fang Zhengzheng's big plan to build a college and build roads.
After a busy morning, strips of red silk cloth were put on the beams of the ancestral hall. Moreover, the interior of the ancestral hall was also cleaned cleanly, and several brand new mats were laid out.
Fang Zhengzheng actually did not suggest hanging the red silk cloth. After all, what happened yesterday had just happened.
But Zhang Yangping insisted, and the other villagers all said that it was over when it was over. It was a happy event to go back to the hometown to visit relatives. We couldn't delay the happy event just because a few villagers were injured
Moreover, some villagers said that this happy event was just a chance to offset the bad luck.
Fang Zhengzheng didn't say anything more. He just arranged for the injured villagers and their families to sit at the most important seats in the square.
The appearance of Pingyang and Chi Guyan lit up the whole square with a dazzling light, and once again excited the villagers. Every villager was ready to kneel down, but was stopped by Fang Zhengzheng.
Then, Fang Zhengzheng casually placed Pingyang on the secondary table next to the main seat.
Suddenly Pingyang pouted.
As the most favored princess of the Holy Emperor today, when has she ever received such treatment? Just when he was about to get angry, he discovered that Qin Xuelian and Fang Houde were also sitting at this table.
Later, Fang Zhengzheng also sat over.
This made Pingyang Qingche's eyes suddenly flash with a light, and then his pouted mouth quickly closed up.
As for Chi Guyan, he was calm as usual from beginning to end.
After some kneeling in the ancestral hall, the purple wood sign was placed next to the ancestral tablet, and the two signs were placed flat together. It is equivalent to sitting upright.
When all the etiquette of returning to his hometown to visit relatives was almost completed, Zhang Yangping coughed lightly and motioned for everyone to be quiet, and then. He looked at Fang Zhengzheng again, meaning that he wanted Fang Zhengzheng to make the announcement.
Fang Zhengzheng shook his head and couldn't insist.
Zhang Yangping had no choice but to stand on the high platform in front of the square and began to announce to everyone the village's plan to rebuild the college. In addition, the issue of building a road from Beishan Village to Huai'an County was also discussed.
Every villager was frightened when they heard Zhang Yangping's words.
"How can you have so much money?"
"Our Beishan Village is so poor that we can only afford food."
In the midst of the discussion, Zhang Yangping also knew what the villagers were thinking. He immediately waved his hand and Zhang Li led several young villagers to carry boxes of silver onto the stage.
Looking at the boxes of shining silver on the high platform, as well as the ingots of yellow gold and the neat stacks of thousand-tael silver notes.
The villagers in Beishan Village all look at me and I look at you, feeling like they are in a dream.
Ever since they were young, they had never seen such a "huge amount of money".
Zhang Yangping could see everyone's doubts. He also explained that all the money was earned by Fang Zhengzheng outside. It came from a legitimate source and there was absolutely no fraud. Please rest assured.
When the simple villagers heard this, they all cheered and shouted Fang Zhengzheng's name.
However, Pingyang has a small mouth.
"What's the origin? They all came from selling my princess's Xue Ruyu, as well as the money. They were all designed to deceive my princess. Is this considered serious?" Pingyang was very unhappy.
However, when he thought that Fang Zhengzheng was going to use the money to build colleges and roads, he was somewhat surprised.
All the time. She thought that Fang Zhengzheng was a "miser" who valued money as much as his life, but she never thought that for the future of the village, he actually took out all the money in one go.
Moreover, it is still important to do evangelism and other important things to benefit the people.
This made her suddenly feel a little confused about Fang Zhengyi. Just when she was about to say a few words of praise, she saw Fang Zhengzhi hand a cup of tea in front of her.
"Um... you see you are a princess. This construction academy is contributing to the dynasty. Do you want to express your gratitude? Donate a hundred or eighty thousand taels of silver to show your appreciation?"
"Go to hell!" Pingyang refused rudely. This guy was indeed as greedy and shameless as before! One hundred and eighty thousand? ! Robbery!
"Do you really want to build the college so big?" Chi Guyan said from the side.
"Of course, if you don't want to do it, just do it the best!" Fang Zhengzheng affirmed.
"But if such a college is really built, the cost will be too huge. The expenses for teaching students can be borne by the God's Palace, but the cost of maintaining the college cannot be paid by the dynasty. For example, the hunting ground and library inside you, these They all need money to support them at any time. The Qingfeng Academy in Huai'an County is due to the funds given to the county by the dynasty, and there are also several big aristocratic families who support it, but the income of Beishan Village... "
Chi Guyan's meaning was very clear when he said this.
Huai'an County already has a Qingfeng College. It is impossible for the Dynasty to build a second college in Beishan Village, and build such a large college.
If it was just a small matter, Chi Guyan might have a way, but if such a college was really set up, the annual expenses would be close to one hundred thousand taels of silver at least.
"I have my own way of paying for the maintenance of the college." Fang Zhengzheng said confidently.
When it comes to making money in previous lives, the most ruthless industries were education, medical care, real estate, catering, etc., which involved people's food, clothing, housing and transportation.
Of course, real estate, catering and medical care are obviously not suitable in this world.
So…
Education is a top priority.
Several large aristocratic families support Qingfeng College, and their purpose is to allow their children to enter Qingfeng College to study. This principle is actually the same.
He now has fifty of the top gentlemen from the five northern desert mansions.
Now that we have solved the core problem, teachers, all we need to do next is to be open-minded and use a few "little tricks" to solve all problems...
…
In Huai'an County, in a quiet mansion.
Bai Xing's face looked somewhat embarrassed, seeing the layout of Cangling Mountain this time. As the leading general in charge, he came back with only one demon.
Moreover, the most important thing is that the Canghai Realm and the Heavenly Dao Holy Monument were all lost.
"Young Master, please punish me!"
"Baitu Tong said that when you rushed back, the whole world of Canghai had been taken away?" A clear voice came from behind a pair of bead curtains, behind which sat a figure wearing a white dress.
It was Yun Qingwu.
"Yes, after the Canghai Realm is incorporated into Cangling Mountain, its weight is beyond the reach of ordinary people. Apart from Shan, this person has the power to move mountains and fill the sea. Therefore, I guess there are two possibilities. One is that the Four Saints took action, and the other is that The opponent has a treasure that can just restrain Canghai Realm."
"Then which one do you think is more likely?"
"The former, after all, the chance of the latter is too small."
"Well, I can't blame you entirely for this matter. I missed two people. I didn't expect Fang Zhengzheng and Chi Guyan to appear in Canghai Realm at the same time."
"Young Master, what are we going to do next?"
"The Xingqing Kingdom met Shanjia. This may not be a bad thing. Shanjia is a royal family of the Southern Mountains. It will definitely attract the attention of the Great Xia Dynasty. It just happened to take this opportunity to capture the Southern Mountains in one fell swoop. I will leave this matter to you. Do it!”
"But, Young Master...Fang Zhengzheng, he..."
"Is Fang Zhengzheng? I got news that he killed nearly a hundred human soldiers in Beishan Village in one fell swoop. I think even if Chi Guyan supported him in this matter, life in the Daxia Dynasty would not be easy in the future. I I think it’s time to meet him again, so you don’t have to worry about his affairs!”
"yes!"
…
In the following days, Fang Zhengzheng began his own cultivation path. Understanding the way of all things is the most difficult, but it is obviously much easier to 'water' it after understanding.
It's like a snowball. As long as you roll out a small one first, it will keep getting bigger and bigger.
Fang Zhengzheng rolled out two to three hundred small snowballs at the same time. Now, the problem he has to face is to choose whether to roll one by one or roll two to three hundred small snowballs together.
The result is obvious.
He chose two to three hundred small snowballs to roll together.
Seems irrational.
However, Fang Zhengzheng likes the feeling of two to three hundred snowballs rolling together, so as long as he likes it. This reason is enough. There are many snowballs, so you are so willful.
While Fang Zheng was practicing, Beishan Village was extremely busy.
When villagers from all over the country heard the news that a college was going to be built in Beishan Village, they all sent people to find out whether the news was true or false. After all, this was a big deal.
Does Beishan Village have so much money
No one believed it.
However, when Zhang Yangping raised the exaggerated "Silver Mountain", they believed it.
So young men from all over the country gathered in Beishan Village, shouting loudly that they must contribute to the construction of the college without any money!
This may be said to be the pure servants of the villagers, or it may be said to be the concerted efforts of the villagers after seeing "hope". After all, once the college is completed, the next step will be the most important step for everyone.
Enrollment!
When it comes to enrollment, there are many mysteries. Although no one has revealed it, everyone knows the truth. The more effort, the greater the hope.
On the right side of Beishan Village, facing the direction of the rising sun, a piece of mountainous land was leveled to the ground in an instant, and then all kinds of earthworks were pulled to the flat ground.
While the college is being built, the road from Beishan Village to Huai'an County is also under intensive construction.
There are dozens of miles of road from Beishan Village to Huai'an County, and there are countless villages along the road. When everyone heard that the road was to be built, they all contributed one after another. When they heard that they would get money for their efforts, they even put aside their farm work. down.
After Fang Zhengzheng talked about some construction methods of asphalt roads, everything was handed over to Zhang Li for implementation. After all, Zhang Li was young and could handle the back-and-forth supervision.
…
While Beishan Village was busy with construction, Yanjing City had already exploded.
In the Jinluan Hall, more than a dozen memorials were handed over to the Holy Lord Lin Mubai one after another, all of which reported Fang Zhengzheng's massacre of the sergeants in Beishan Village.
"Your Majesty, Fang Zhengzheng is so lawless. If he is not severely punished, how will the military's prestige remain?"
"I agree, Fang Zhengzheng's behavior is no different from setting up a private court. Even if the military sect is at fault, it is just following orders. How could Fang Zhengzheng create such a killer?"
"A strong cavalry general and several lieutenants of the military sect were all tragically killed. The military sect has been shaken. Please ask the emperor to order the Ministry of Punishment to review the case!"
All the ministers were filled with righteous indignation and their opinions were extremely unified.
If it weren't for the fact that Fang Zhengzheng was now a fourth-grade swordsman, I'm afraid the Ministry of Punishment would have directly ordered the arrest, and there would be no need to report his death to the Holy Master.
"Your Majesty, I know that the Holy Spirit pities talented people. Fang Zhengzheng has just been conferred the title of fourth-grade sword wielder. If he immediately issued an order to win the hearts of talented people in the world, his behavior is really a bit extreme! "Wan Chong, the Minister of Punishment, stood up at this time, with a look of indignation on his face.
Holy Master Lin Mubai frowned slightly.
The news from Beishan Village came to Yanjing City from Junmen. Then, he received another letter from Beimo. The letter was written by Chi Guyan himself. In the letter, Chi Guyan also stated the whole thing. of the process.
Then, the right and wrong of this matter is actually very clear.
only…
The power of the army cannot be lost.
Anyone can kill the military sergeants at will. If you kill first and then report, then the country will not be a country, and the law will be illegal. The most important thing is that too many soldiers were killed in this incident.
Nearly a hundred people died, and hundreds more were injured to varying degrees. This was not just about protecting the village and stopping the soldiers. It would not be an exaggeration to say that the killing was excessive.
So many sergeants died.
If there is no explanation at all and review, the power of the military will indeed be lost.
but. Do we really want to submit Fang Zheng to the Ministry of Criminal Justice for review
The Holy Master Lin Mubai felt a little hesitant. In the letter, Chi Guyan detailed the whole process and stated that filial piety leads to anger. The principle of killing to protect.
"Your Majesty, I feel that this matter cannot completely shift the responsibility to Fang Zhengyi!" At this moment, Zuo Xiang Yu Yiping finally stood up.
"Oh, what's Yu Xiang's opinion?" The Holy Master Lin Mubai was somewhat surprised when he heard Zuo Xiang Yu Yiping's words. Last time in the court, Zuo Xiangyu had a not-so-pleasant quarrel with Fang Zhengzheng.
How could he not see this
"According to the veteran's investigation, this time the military sect first bullied the villagers and maliciously ate and drank in the villages. Later, they were instigated and almost massacred the village. The fierce cavalry general also personally brandished a knife to hurt the people. Such military discipline Military style should be dealt with according to military law!" As Zuo Xiang Yu Yiping said this, he looked at Duan Wang Lin Xinjue, who was wearing a royal uniform in the court hall.
"What Yu Xiang said makes sense. The sixth brother has been in charge of the military over the years and his achievements are obvious to all. It's just that military discipline and style... we still need to pay more attention to it, otherwise we won't cause such a thing!" Prince Lin Tianrong heard this from Zuo Xiang. Yu Yiping also stood up immediately.
Duan Wang Lin Xinjue's face darkened slightly. He certainly knew Zuo Xiangyu's intention as well as Prince Lin Tianrong's. However, the military sect was indeed at fault in this matter and he could not refute it.
"Thank you for the reminder, Prince. I will straighten out military discipline on this matter and give the court an explanation!" Prince Duan Lin Xinjue did not shirk responsibility, because that was an extremely unwise choice.
If you are wrong, admit it.
It is far more effective to win the Holy Heart than forceful rhetoric. What's more, everyone in the civil and military circles of the dynasty knows that the military gate manages hundreds of thousands of troops in the dynasty, so how can there be no problems
It's just a small mistake, it doesn't hurt your body, if you accept it openly, what can you do
"King Duan is so magnanimous, I believe the military discipline and style of the army will definitely improve!" Left Prime Minister Yu Yiping did not wait for a courtier standing behind King Duan to come out, and immediately continued to speak.
When the courtier heard Zuo Xiang Yu Yiping's words, he took back the steps he took, with a look of confusion on his face.
However, Zuo Xiang Yu Yiping took a step forward again.
"Plop!" With a cry, he fell to his knees on the ground.
When the Holy Master Lin Mubai saw this scene, he also raised his hand gently, signaling the left prime minister Yu Yiping to stand up and speak: "Xiang Yu has something to report, why is this?"
"Reporting to the emperor, as the left prime minister, the old minister should have solved the emperor's problems and selected talents, but today I have something in my heart that I want to say in this court. However, this sentence is not true for a minister. What people say!”
"Zuo Xiangdan said it doesn't matter!"
"Yes, I think this matter, whether it was the military sect that was at fault first, or Fang Zhengzheng who killed first, we can put it aside and discuss the law, and let the Ministry of Punishment investigate thoroughly, but what the veteran said today is incompatible with The law has nothing to do with it, only loyalty, character, and morality. This son has such a strong desire to kill and his handling style is so extreme. There is no room left. He ignores the power of the military. He is born to be rebellious. ! Please, Your Majesty, be careful when using it in the future!"
After Zuo Xiang Yu Yiping finished speaking, he knelt on the ground again and squeezed out two tears from his eyes. His expression was really an example of loyalty to the king.
All the civil and military officials in the dynasty were slightly startled when they heard Zuo Xiang Yu Yiping's words.
Immediately, after coming back to their senses, everyone was extremely shocked.
Yu Yiping, the Prime Minister of the Left, first absolved Fang Zhengzheng of his guilt, blaming it on the military discipline and military style of the military sect, and then absolved King Duan of the military discipline and military style.
From these two points of view, where I stand and what I think about are all worries and concerns for you.
The selfless gesture was vividly displayed.
And then, this killing move was really cruel to the extreme.
No matter the law, no matter right, no matter wrong, only about loyalty, character, and morality, which seems to be somewhat inconsistent with the rules of the court, but in fact it pushes Fang Zhengzheng to death.
Throughout the ages, loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness have always been the top priority for generals and ministers at all times and in all places. Even when there is a dilemma between loyalty and filial piety, loyalty comes first.
The words of Zuo Xiang Yu Yiping showed that he ignored the power of the military sect and was born to be rebellious.
This undoubtedly puts Fang Zhengzheng above disloyalty.
Moreover, it is revealed with emotion and moved with reason, and the previous steps are so well laid out. How could the emperor not think about it
Sure enough, ginger is still spicy!
"Your Majesty, I am waiting outside the palace to ask for an audience!" Just when everyone was extremely impressed by Zuo Xiang Yu Yiping's move, a voice sounded outside the palace door.
(Five thousand words, please give me a monthly ticket!) (To be continued.)
