With the selection of Sangu completed, Fang Yun began to adjust his focus in Ning'an County.
The millions of monsters and water tribesmen of the Dragon Saint of the West Sea were a huge gift, so the elders of Zhandian Pavilion jointly submitted a petition to invite Fang Yun to be the first class in the military affairs department before being canonized.
This means that out of the ten subjects in the imperial examination, Fang Yun has already obtained or will definitely obtain the first grade in eight subjects.
However, Fang Yun did not make any big moves before September 15th, because September 15th was the human race's imperial examination, and he had to give lectures to the county's scholars.
Michigan is a small state. Even if the number of candidates increased this year, it would only be one hundred.
After the examination, something surprising happened to all the people. A total of sixteen people in Ning'an County became the candidates, even more than the province with the smallest number.
The education has been decided, but only the people's livelihood and the administration of officials are still unresolved.
So far, Fang Yun's people's livelihood rating has reached B-low, and in this palace examination, there are seven other people who have reached B-low.
It is not difficult to get a B in the subject of people's livelihood, but it is difficult to get a B or even an A, because there are too many elements of people's livelihood, including food, clothing, housing, transportation, weddings and funerals, the style of the people, and whether they live rich or poor. It is difficult for anyone to achieve a B or even A. There is no first-class people's livelihood in the year.
Fang Yun has already made great efforts in public security, urban construction, health and living security. The next step is to increase income and make people live a richer life. Only then can he truly make achievements in the subject of people's livelihood.
Therefore, after September 15th, Fang Yun made many plans based on the advantages of Ning'an City. For example, a textile and clothing fair will be held at the end of September, and at the same time, the number of workshops in Ning'an County will be greatly increased to further reduce textile costs. In terms of expansion, we will expand textile channels and occupy the textile industry market with absolute advantages.
In particular, some hats, sweaters, gloves and other textiles designed by Fang Yun personally became popular in Ning'an County and Jingguo immediately after they were put on the market, and began to spread crazily to other countries.
Unknowingly, "Ning'an brand" textiles have become a hot commodity. In the face of the three characteristics of exquisite style, low price and durability, the textiles of those time-honored stores eclipse.
A few imperial examination candidates consider themselves unlucky. Because in the counties where these Imperial Examination Scholars were in charge, the textile industry accounted for a large proportion.
Ning'an County's textiles may only affect Jingguo and the northern part of Shengyuan Continent at first, but when the cost reduction can offset the freight, Ning'an County's textiles will definitely be exported to all parts of the human race.
If the price of textiles in Ning'an County is low, then the workshops and shops in other counties will have to lower their prices, which will reduce their income and people's livelihood will inevitably be downgraded.
In order to reduce costs, workshops across Shengyuan Continent had to purchase new textile mechanisms built by Gongjia and Mohism. At least the textile efficiency could not be lower than that of Ning'an. However, they buy textile machines with money. Part of the income flows into Ning'an Workshop and Ning'an County, and the Ning'an textile industry continues to grow.
In this world that does not delve deeply into branding and marketing, many people do not know Fang Yun’s true intention of launching the “Ning’an Brand”, let alone the great impact Fang Yun’s innovations will have on the future.
Lei Shushan, the imperial examination scholar of the Lei family, was originally in charge of a large textile county. He originally wanted to surpass Fang Yun in the fortification department, but Fang Yun's workshop innovations were far better than him; The cloud tower projection flew to Ning'an County; in the end, he threw everything into the people's livelihood department, but the county's textile industry was hit and people's income dropped sharply. He was completely out of luck in getting a top grade in the first subject of people's livelihood.
A few days later, Lei Shushan got drunk because he failed in the palace examination, lost his temper and cursed, and was reported to the ceremony hall by enemies of the Lei family. As a result, he was reprimanded by the Lidian Palace, and all ten subjects in the imperial examination dropped one rank!
Afterwards, Lei Shushan's literary works were covered in dust.
The whole Lei family was furious and once again closed the door and cursed Fang Yun. The new head of the Lei family was particularly angry.
The other imperial examination scholars of Jia Kingdom, where Lei Shushan was located, lost a strong rival and secretly vowed to thank Fang Yun in the future.
It was also at the end of September that Fang Yun officially launched a more reasonable official evaluation system in Ning'an County. Some of these regulations were so harsh that many officials found it difficult to accept them.
Fang Yun now had absolute control over Ning'an County, so he did not back down and allowed the officials to leave.
Soon, 20% of the officials quit the Ning'an County government.
Bureaucrats in Ning'an County are increasingly resentful of Fang Lun.
Subsequently, a small number of officials from Ning'an County went to the capital and joined forces with officials from the left prime minister's group to sue Fang Yun, triggering the impeachment of the imperial censor.
It is different from the past. When the left prime minister took action, a large number of civil servants followed him with great momentum, and memorials to impeach Fang Yun were issued like snow. But now, both the momentum and the number of memorials are less than one-fifth of the original.
Even so, it would be disadvantageous for Fang Yun's official administration subject. According to the palace examination standards, he could not unite the bureaucrats. Even if his achievements were astonishing, he would only be a B-ranker, not an A-ranker.
Fang Yun's hostile forces exerted all their strength. People from the Lei family and Bakong Shan Juwen Pavilion attacked Fang Yun in the discussion list, and even bribed scholars. The Zongsheng family and Qingguo's secret work cooperated with the Left Prime Minister's party in Jingguo. Making trouble caused some neutral officials to sway, and some selfless officials thought that Fang Yun was too biased. Although they did not criticize Fang Yun in the court, they also expressed some opposing views.
Friends and staff tried to persuade him, but Fang Yun remained unmoved.
A few days later, Fang Yun announced the retirement system for Ning'an County officials. After each official becomes an official, he will receive the lowest level of lifelong civil servants, which is lower than that of a country boy. He will receive different pensions based on his rank before retirement.
As soon as the retirement system came out, it caused thousands of waves.
In Shengyuan Continent, many low-level officials will lose their income after retirement. Each country does not have a complete retirement security system. In other words, only high-ranking officials and officials with titles enjoy the retirement system.
In addition to releasing the official evaluation system and retirement system, Fang Yun also completely reformed the county government agencies in Ning'an County, because the ten-room system resulted in excessive concentration of power. It may be suitable for small counties with 10,000 or 20,000 people, but it can no longer adapt to the rapid development. Larger cities, especially Ning'an County, are unable to adapt to the rapid changes.
As a result, new institutions were established one after another, and those who first joined Fang Yun gradually became the heads of each house, while the officials who did not leave also gained greater real power.
Those officials who originally left the county government regretted it and tried to return to Ning'an county government. They even knelt before the county government chief, but Fang Yun ignored them.
Fang Yun's method of giving a sweet jujube to a stick was so perfect that all the officials in Ning'an County were convinced. In the past, they were either intimidated by Fang Yun's power or conquered by Fang Yun's achievements, but now they have interests tied to Fang Yun. Work hard to protect Fang Yun’s interests!
The officials in Ning'an County all supported Fang Yun, and the impeachment in the court became a river without a source and a tree without roots, and soon disappeared without a trace.
After the grassroots officials in various human countries learned about Fang Yun's new system, they began to promote the innovation of the retirement system from bottom to top.
Xiang Lancheng, the son-in-law of the Qingguo Zongsheng family, was also a Jinshi in this year's palace examination. He originally wanted to surpass Fang Yun in the two subjects of people's livelihood and official administration, borrowing all the power of the Zong family and even the Qingguo family, but was defeated by Fang Yun's series of actions in September. Disrupt the position.
On the first day of October, a headline on the front page of "Wenbao" was like an attack by saints, detonating the Holy Yuan Continent.
"Can Fang Yun become an unprecedented top ten Jinshi?".
