Fang Yun's dragon horse luxury carriage went to the county government office, followed by the private soldiers of the monsters in front and behind, and in the end there were several carriages.
The news of Fang Yun's appointment has spread throughout the streets and alleys of Ning'an County. The Longma luxury car is the most eye-catching, and many people on the roadside are whispering about it.
"Fang Xusheng has finally come to our Ning'an County. This is good news, great news!"
"Humph, although Ji Zhibai is the top scholar, he colluded with the officials of Ning'an County, embezzled our hard-earned money, and fattened up those corrupt officials!"
"I heard that Fang Xusheng and Zuo Xiang are not on good terms, and maybe he can change the world in Ning'an County."
"Forget it, officials protect each other. If he wants to become the top scholar, he will definitely join forces with those corrupt officials!"
"That's a virtual saint. Would a virtual saint be afraid of a dog official?"
"The Void Saint also has to eat, drink, defecate and urinate! I've been reading the Wen Bao for so many years, and I've only heard of people who live in harmony with the world, but have you ever heard of people who can overthrow the world?"
"You're too kind. Dingge means changing dynasties. Even a Virtual Saint can't do that! Nowadays, even a Half Saint can't do that. At least a Sub-Saint can do that."
"That's right. No matter how powerful Fang Xusheng is, can he annihilate the barbarians in the north or dethrone the left prime minister? He can't do any of them. So, he came to Ning'an County just to recite poems and write lyrics. He is just a child under 20 years old. What can he do?"
"What the old scholar said makes sense. Fang Xusheng is still a child after all. It's okay for him to write poems and lyrics, but it's really difficult for him to govern a county. What's more, if he wants to become the top scholar, he must govern a county as if it were a country. How can he govern a country?"
"However, Fang Xusheng should be more careful about his reputation and be better than Ji Zhibai. At least with him around, the education of Ning'an County has made great progress."
"His medical skills are also extraordinary. This year, in early summer, there shouldn't be any epidemics."
"Now is the time when there is a shortage of crops. Like in previous years, food prices will definitely go up. I hope Fang Xusheng can keep the food prices down."
"Don't flatter me. Not to mention that he is just a false saint, even if he is a real saint, he will have to flee Ning'an County this winter. The barbarians are already preparing for war. As soon as the first snow falls, the army will surely invade! The several fortresses in the north can't hold out for a few days, and they will soon reach the Yi River. Can Ning'an County be saved by then? No! Look, those wealthy families have already started to transfer their assets to the south."
"But the number of people coming to Ning'an has increased compared to last year."
"Nonsense! Ning'an County is an important place in the north. There will be a war soon. Merchants will naturally make a fortune and then escape before the city is breached!"
"I just don't know what County Magistrate Xiaofang will do..."
"It's impossible for him to be buried alive with Ning'an County. He will probably be transferred away before the city is captured."
"There is no doubt about it. Fang Xusheng alone is better than ten Ning'an counties!"
"More than ten, he is worth half of Jingguo!"
"That makes sense!"
Even those who were not optimistic about Fang Yun nodded and acknowledged Fang Yun's value.
After Fang Yun returned to the county government office, he did not go around the government office like ordinary county magistrates. Instead, he went straight to the county magistrate's house in the back office, asked Yang Yuhuan how she was doing there, and decided with her on some arrangements for the house.
When the household affairs in the back house were almost done, Fang Yun summoned some officials and staff members from the county government and asked them to take him to visit the county government.
Fang Yun first inspected the offices of the magistrate, county magistrate, chief clerk and registrar, and then went to important places such as Shifang.
At night, Fang Yun, accompanied by the county magistrate and others, went to the canteen in person and had a meal with all the officials. He also had a cordial conversation with the chef and some officials, asking about the weight of eggs and other details to test the chef. Finally, Fang Yun gave a speech. Food is the first necessity of the people, and people are made of iron and rice is made of steel. We must pay attention to food matching and food safety. We cannot let the officials work on an empty stomach, which won unanimous praise from all the officials.
Fang Yun's staff were very curious and couldn't understand why Fang Yun came to the canteen as a county magistrate, and Fang Yun did not explain.
Fang spent an afternoon and half an evening to thoroughly understand the entire county government office, and then returned to his study.
There are more than ten boxes of documents in the study. These are the documents accumulated by various departments after Ji Zhibai left office. They include public opinion on people's livelihood, agricultural time calculations, important matters of animal husbandry, business achievements, financial accounts, workshop surpluses, academy adjustments, and officials' resignations due to illness...
These documents were originally requested by Fang Yun, but some of them did not need to be sent at all. Obviously, those officials wanted to deliberately increase Fang Yun's workload.
Unfortunately, Fang Yun is not an ordinary Jinshi. His total talent is no less than that of a newly promoted Hanlin, and his literary talent is even closer to the level of a Grand Secretary.
Fang Yun exhaled lightly, and the power of Wen Tan burst out. The invisible force lifted up all the documents in a box, and the top document flew in front of Fang Yun. Under the control of the power of Wen Tan, the pages turned like wind blowing through the book.
This document was a list of all the officials in the county government, bound together, and had hundreds of pages. However, it took only ten breaths of time for the literary talent to finish reading it, and Fang Yun had already read it and memorized it. Then, an identical list appeared in the world of strange books.
The Strange Book World can devour all books, and the reading efficiency is higher in the Strange Book World, but books cannot be created out of thin air after being devoured. These documents must be returned to the government office, so Fang Yun can only read and record one book at a time.
Fang Yun's reading speed was even much faster than Hanlin's. He read boxes of documents one after another. After finishing the seventh box, it was already early morning. Fang Yun finally felt tired, so he left the study and went back to the bedroom to lie down.
Fang Yun first recalled everything that happened today, conducted self-reflection and review, and then began to carefully read the documents in the world of strange books.
In the world of strange books, Fang Yun's reading efficiency is thousands of times higher than that of the outside world.
Those documents involved all aspects of Ning'an County, including civil servants, industry, agriculture, commerce, education, military, law, etc. They were a hundred times more diverse than the books Fang Yun usually read, so he did not force himself to finish reading all the documents. Instead, he planned to read them carefully before going to bed and continue reading the rest of the documents tomorrow.
These documents are like a tangled mess that cannot be cut or sorted out, but Fang Yun needs to unravel them and sort them out bit by bit, which will be of great help to Ning'an County.
These documents are hidden in Ning'an County!
Early the next morning, Fang Yun wanted to continue reading, but just after breakfast, Yu Bachi hurried to the back house led by a handsome man named Ma.
"Your humble servant greets His Excellency the County Magistrate!" Yu Bachi bowed and greeted him.
"We are all family, no need to be polite in the future. You came in a hurry, is there something important?"
"Yes. I have been following the movements of the left-wing party and found some clues this morning. If I am not mistaken, they will entangle you in lawsuits and tie you up in court, preventing you from handling other matters." Yu Bachi said.
Fang Yun immediately recalled some officials' notes and knew about similar tricks. He said, "They have already prepared a large number of cases and lawsuits, and want me to keep trying them?"
"exactly."
"What if I don't try the case or try it in batches?" Fang Yun asked.
Yu Ba Chi immediately replied: "They will certainly cause trouble, which will lower your rating in terms of people's livelihood, official administration, and criminal justice." (To be continued...)
