Before leaving the county academy, Fang Yun picked three apricot flowers and gave them to Yang Yuhuan, Su Xiaoxiao and Nunu respectively. He also put it on Nunu himself, making the little fox so beautiful that she didn't know which way was which.
The Medical Literature Conference was a great success, and Fang Yun's "On Plague" was originally taken away by the great scholar of the Medical Hall and enshrined in the Medical Hall to enhance the fortune of the medical family.
The current discussion board is sourly called the "Doctors' Discussion Board" by other people. A large number of doctors use the discussion board to discuss everything related to the plague.
Fang Yun's friends also sent him letters. Now, Ning'an County has become a pilot area for the four palaces, namely the Palace of Criminal Justice, the Palace of Works, the Palace of Agriculture, and the Palace of Medicine. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that it is extremely difficult for Zuo Xiang and his party to obstruct Fang Yun's palace examination. Fang Yun has already taken root in Ning'an County and can take the palace examination safely.
At noon the next day, news came from the capital that all the officials reported by Fang Yun were sentenced.
The former governor of Mizhou who exchanged information for longevity fruit was stripped of his Hanlin title, his entire family was executed, and his family was not allowed to take the imperial examinations for three generations. Those who already had a literary title were not allowed to hold official positions. These were extremely severe punishments.
The governor of Mizhou who killed more than a dozen people still holds the title of Hanlin Wenlin, but his property has been confiscated, his family power has been uprooted, and his family has been exiled to an ancient deserted city to fight against monsters and barbarians. Even if they have made great achievements within three generations, they are not allowed to return to Shengyuan Continent.
As for the others, some were exiled, some were imprisoned, and only a few were saved by the Left Prime Minister.
On this day, there was a major reshuffle of officials in Jing State.
All the important officials of Mizhou's literary academy and civil service were transferred, either to the Yingyang Army or to Beijing. The left prime minister's party completely abandoned the two departments of officials in Mizhou, while the monarch's party won a great victory and occupied the important positions of Mizhou's civil service and literary academy.
These officials will take up their posts collectively, but before taking office they have decided to go to Ning'an County together on April 1st to pay a visit to Fang Xusheng.
Their official positions were secured by Fang Yun!
Fang Yun's uncle Fang Shouye was promoted from the fifth rank to the fourth rank, and was transferred to Qingwu Prefecture in Mizhou as a general. He was also in charge of 10,000 new troops, and his rank and power were improved, and he could provide assistance to Fang Yun at any time.
Wan Xuezhen, who was one of the examiners in Fang Yun's Tongsheng examination last year, was transferred to Ning'an County and served as the Yuanjun of Ning'an County. The original Yuanjun of Ning'an County was transferred away.
The left prime minister gave up the two factions of officials in Mizhou, but his control over the Yingyang Army became even stronger.
During these days, due to Fang Yun's continuous efforts, all four talents have reached nine inches, and he is only one inch away from reaching the peak of ten inches.
A journey of a hundred miles begins with a single step. The talent required for this last inch is almost equal to the sum of all the previous ones.
In fact, even if Fang Yun does nothing and just eats and sleeps, he will reach the peak of talent within half a year and become a Jinshi, only because his innovative power in Ning'an County has not been fully developed. Once it is fully developed, his talent will grow rapidly.
The books written by Fang Yun, such as "On Plague" and "Mechanism Design Manual", have all turned into stars in the Wen Palace, hanging high in the dome of the Wen Palace.
The stars formed by "On Plague" are even more dazzling, and the starlight exceeds all the national poems. It is comparable to the poems and essays that are spread all over the world.
As time went by, Fang Yun no longer wrote books himself, but kept going back and forth between the workshop, Yunlou, the clinic and the government office, quietly practicing. He made progress in all subjects.
On the first day of April, "Holy Way" and "Literary Newspaper" were published, and Fang Yun's achievements once again shocked the world. Fang Quanneng's nickname was once again praised by people.
In this month's palace examination ranking list, Fang Yun unsurprisingly won first place because he had dabbled in all subjects.
However, Fang Yun wrote too many articles this month, and because of the Medical Literature Association, the number of medical articles increased dramatically, so some of Fang Yun's articles were delayed and postponed to the May issue of "Holy Way".
Fang Yun had originally made up his mind not to argue about anything for the whole month of April. He would keep a low profile in both his work and his life. He also did not plan to make any innovations. He wanted to consolidate his talent and avoid letting his talent grow too quickly and lead to an unstable foundation.
However, things did not go as planned. The officials who were going to Mizhou to take up their posts would arrive in Ning'an County on the first day of April and hold a small literary gathering to congratulate Fang Yun on his position in Ning'an County and to thank Fang Yun for helping them get the official positions.
Fang Yun calculated the time precisely. Just before many officials arrived, he led the officials of Ning'an County to the south gate of the city and entered the pavilion of the post station to wait.
The stone table in the pavilion of the post station was very large. There were eight seats around the table, but only Fang Yun and Ao Huang sat on it, while the other officials stood outside the pavilion to accompany them.
Far away from the pavilion, there were some officials, who were subordinates of General Ding Haosheng of Beimang or Geng Ge, the chief of the Transportation Department, watching Fang Yun in the pavilion with cold eyes. They did not want to get close to Fang Yun, but they had to welcome the current governor and governor of Mizhou.
Inside the pavilion, the clerk from the post station carefully served tea and water. Fang Yun drank tea while looking at the surrounding scenery.
In April, Ning'an has completely gotten rid of the spring chill and ushered in early summer. Looking from afar, the farmlands are connected into one, full of green, which together with the indigo of the distant mountains form the most beautiful color between heaven and earth.
Above the farmland, there is a floating cloud with a diameter of one mile. Above the floating cloud, there is a nine-story building made entirely of clouds. Farmers are busy in the building.
It determines what humans will eat in the future.
Fang Yun smiled, retracted his gaze, and looked towards the south where many officials were about to arrive.
The willow trees on both sides of the street are growing well. The willow branches hang down like pearl curtains, densely forming a green curtain. White catkins are flying in the sky, as if telling everyone that summer has arrived.
Fang Yun glanced at the officials under the jurisdiction of Ning'an County again. Since the medical and literary conference, everyone has been behaving well.
Ning'an County is a large county. Not only do there are scholars serving as officials locally, but there are also many people serving in various states of Jing State and in the capital.
After the Medical and Literary Conference, as some people had guessed, Liu Shan had become particularly displeased with the officials of Ning'an County because of the death of his two grandsons. All officials from all over Ning'an County were transferred away from important government offices and marginalized in the major reshuffle of officials.
Liu Shan has completely given up on the officials of Ning'an County. For Fang Yun, the Queen Mother and Minister Wen have also completely given up.
Just a few months ago, officials in Ning'an County were still trying to get promoted with the help of the Left Prime Minister.
Many officials from Ning'an County could not bear the huge contrast. The palaces of several students and scholars were broken, and even the courage of two scholars was shattered. They were truly frightened.
During these days, countless Ning'an County officials were criticized by their wives, concubines and elders.
Many officials called the incident a disaster for Ning'an.
After the news of the Ning'an disaster spread throughout Jing State, fewer and fewer people wanted to join the Left Prime Minister, but more and more people wanted to serve as officials under Fang Yun.
Now, the officials of Ning'an County have lost their backing and can only take one step at a time. They are all treading on thin ice. They are as obedient as grandsons in front of Fang Yun, and he is more convenient to use than private soldiers and staff.
Most people did not dare to join Fang Yun. Not to mention that Fang Yun had high vision, their face was ashamed just by his previous actions. They only hoped to work hard for Fang Yun and not hold him accountable when he left Ning'an County.
Soon, a long convoy drove by and slowly slowed down as it approached. (To be continued...)
