Royal Gold Magistrate

Chapter 891 Do you want to go back to be an official?

That night.

Yang Fengfan found a restaurant with a good reputation, and prepared a sumptuous dinner for Jingdi and others on the highest point of the third floor.

After a day of running around, everyone was already empty and extremely hungry.

Everyone eats and eats, so happy.

The banquet was in full swing, Emperor Jing summoned Fang Zhengyi to hold a wine glass and lean on the railing to look into the distance.

Fangzheng didn't know what Emperor Jing wanted to say, so he drank the wine in sips and looked at the street scene.

The street is still very popular at this moment, many people hang lanterns and are still doing business, and passers-by are also coming and going, bargaining.

After a long time, Emperor Jing said with emotion: "Zhengyi, I have benefited a lot from this private visit in Weifu."

"I often think that as long as we abide by the ancestral system and the words of the sages, we can rule the world. Therefore, I have never dared to make a decision on lenient business. Seeing this scene today, I know you are right."

"The power of merchants has been underestimated for a long time, and now because of your repeated admonitions and efforts to change, so many people can open their eyes."

"I want to implement the method in Pingwan County in Hengjiang Mansion, and then set up a special office for commercial affairs. What do you think?"

Fangzheng said: "Your Majesty wants to continue to expand the scope of lenient business in Hengjiang Mansion. Of course, I agree. From the beginning, I planned to implement it in the entire Hengjiang Mansion. However, there is too much resistance from the court. Looking at it now, there should not be much resistance."

"As for the establishment of the new yamen, I suggest that you put it on hold...everything is in the early stages, it is better to let the people grow freely. If you intervene too early, I am afraid that this seedling will be killed before it blooms and bears fruit. If your majesty really To establish a new yamen, the most important thing is to restrain the government, not the people."

"However, I think the most convenient way is for His Majesty to send Jin Yiwei to assist the local yamen according to the method of Pingwan County."

"Since your majesty is determined to change, why don't you tell the other princes here?"

Emperor Jing was noncommittal: "We still have to go back to discuss this matter formally, but speaking of Jin Yiwei, you are not in office, how do you feel after being idle for so long?"

Fangzheng stretched his waist, his drunken eyes were a little hazy: "To be honest, my son is comfortable all over!"

? !

This bastard hasn't changed at all, and he wants to find something to say and ask him if he wants to be reinstated.

As a result, just say this?

Emperor Jing snorted, and said lightly: "At the beginning when I invited you from Taoyuan County, you also resigned from the official position. It really hasn't changed at all until now. Are you so unwilling to be an official?"

Feeling a little gaffe, Fangzheng didn't panic at all.

After all, I have been with Emperor Jing for so long, and we are a family, so there is nothing to panic about.

Fangzheng said: "Forgive me for speaking bluntly, whether you can be an official is not important to me. I regard power and wealth as floating clouds, and in this life I only want to be worthy of myself."

Emperor Jing smiled: "How can I be worthy of myself?"

Fang Zhengyi was a little drunk, looking at the flow of people downstairs, with some memories in his eyes: "Your Majesty sees that these ordinary people seem to be living well, but they can't take any risks."

"They have no power, they are on the go all day long, they can be bullied by others, they see their parents getting old, they are sick but helpless, and they are tortured in life all their lives."

"I have a deep understanding of this in the first half of my life. When I am an official, I can influence one party. If I am not an official, I can influence the people as much as I can. This is enough. For me, this is already a perfect personality and no regrets in life."

After hearing what he said, although Emperor Jing felt a sense of comfort, he was still secretly startled.

In the first half of his life, he was only in his teens, right?For a boy in his teens to have such an insight, he is indeed a child prodigy among child prodigies!

"Since it's all for the benefit of the common people, why not choose to be in the officialdom and work hard for promotion. You have the talent of a prime minister, wouldn't it be more fulfilling to use your ability to benefit the world?"

Fang Zhengyi took another sip of his wine and said with a smile: "I'm a mortal... He's lazy if he's a human being, he's just as lazy as he is, and he's happy with what's going on. Now that he's married and has a family business, it's good if he doesn't run out every day.”

"you..."

Emperor Jing was just about to scold this worthless son-in-law, when suddenly there was a loud sound from the sky.

"Bang~ bang!"

A gorgeous firework exploded and disappeared into the sky.

This sound just fell, but there was a second sound immediately, and then a series of sounds came.

Shining iron trees and silver flowers emerge in the sky, and the sights are all scenery.

The ministers who were still pushing and changing glasses at the wine table had already got up and walked to the railing, leaning on the railing to watch.

The fireworks in full bloom are too beautiful to behold. Accompanied by the sound, people on the street also stop to watch.

The sounds of joy and explosions can be heard endlessly.

Emperor Jing couldn't help drawing a smile, and said to Yang Fengfan: "Qing family, what's the situation with these fireworks? But you prepared them specially for me?"

Yang Fengfan took a quick glance at Fang Zhengyi, and said, "I'm ashamed, I didn't expect to prepare a fireworks specially for His Majesty."

"The fireworks are set off at a fixed time in the county, but tonight happened to catch up, and the minister was also negligent and failed to remind His Majesty in advance."

Emperor Jing waved his hand: "It's okay, it's okay, what does the county say about setting off at a fixed time?"

Yang Fengfan said: "Your Majesty, I don't have anything to say, there will be one or two shows every month. It's just because... considering that the people in the city are working tirelessly and are busy all day long, and the county has a lot of money, they bought some fireworks and set them off publicly. People in the city appreciate it."

"I set off fireworks once or twice a month, and the people are happy to see them, and they can relieve their fatigue. This amount of money...I have not reported it to the court, and I ask Your Majesty to forgive me."

Fangzheng said in a voice: "Your Majesty, I think the money is worth it! The common people have no money and can't afford many fireworks, and it doesn't cost much to set off fireworks in the yamen. The people are happy when they see it. This mental strength is also an asset, and when they go to work the next day, they will work even harder when they are in a good mood!"

All the ministers watched the fireworks show happily, and nodded when they heard Fang Zheng's words.

Emperor Jing was often in the army, and he knew that the marching formation must be relaxed.

And it doesn't cost much to buy some fireworks.

So he was pleased and said: "Yang Qing thought so thoughtfully, no wonder he managed Pingwan County so well! It seems that I have given you up by transferring you to Hengjiang Mansion."

Yang Fengfan was ecstatic!

As expected of Mr. Fang!It's really good to teach this!

"I am ashamed and dare not be responsible, there are still many shortcomings!"

Emperor Jing shook his head slightly with a smile, turned around and stood with his hands behind his back, continuing to enjoy the fireworks.

...

The banquet is gone.

Everyone returned to their residences, and Emperor Jing naturally arranged the position alone.

As for Fang Zheng and the others, due to the large number of people, they directly found a nearby inn to accommodate them.

Fang Zhengyi chose a room by the window, and was about to undress and sleep.

This day was really tiring for him, and the matter was finally consummated until now.

I will return to Beijing tomorrow to continue enjoying life, and I have to see my son and daughter-in-law.

Just about to lie down, there was a knock on the door...
