He immediately got up and lit the oil lamp, then opened the door. Fang Zhiyi walked in. He sighed, but didn't mind the dirt and mess in the room, and sat down on the edge of the bed.
Both people in the room were stunned.
Fang Zhiyi looked around and asked, "Are you guys living here?"
Zhang Qi nodded and said with a smile, "It's a small place, please don't despise it, sir."
Fang Zhiyi waved his hand: "A bed is for sleeping, why does it need such a big space?" As he spoke, he kept glancing at the people around him without saying a word.
Zhang Qi couldn't help but ask, "Sir, why are you here so late at night? Is there something wrong?"
Fang Zhiyi turned to look at him, his eyes seemed to flash with a strange light, which made Zhang Qi feel inexplicably scared.
"Master, I want to make some money, so I'll count you guys in. Do you want to work with me?"
Zhang Qi was stunned. "Has the prefect really become stupid from studying?" "Do you know how rich your family is? Why do you have to earn it yourself?"
Fang Zhiyi repeated himself: "Follow me, and we can earn some money to go to the music hall or sing a song or something." He paused, "I used to know that books can hold a golden house and beautiful women, but I never thought I would only see this vivid beauty today. How sad!"
Zhang Qi understood that the master was irritated.
He wanted to persuade her, but suddenly he didn't want to follow Fang Zhiyi's words. Following Fang Zhiyi's gaze, he also looked around his house, which could be called a doghouse, and suddenly felt a sense of disparity in his heart.
"Let's do it!" Liu hurriedly answered, "But sir, how do we do it?"
Fang Zhiyi nodded in satisfaction without saying anything, then turned to look at Zhang Qi. Zhang Qi gritted his teeth and nodded vigorously. He then smiled and said, "Don't forget, your master is well-read, and some of the methods are written in books."
Liu Mang and Zhang Qi had never read the book, so they were skeptical.
Fang Zhiyi waved his hand, and both of them leaned over.
"I'm not afraid to tell you the truth. It looks like you two aren't doing well. As for my family, well, my two brothers pretty much control everything. So even if I want to make money, I have to do it myself. So, if you two want wealth and glory, just listen to me. Otherwise, you'll just have to keep living in this shithole."
The two of them exchanged glances and said, "Sir, if you have any orders, just tell us. We two brothers will go through fire and water!"
Fang Zhiyi nodded. He wasn't afraid of these two people filing a complaint. What were they suing for? Suing him to make money? What harm would that do to them?
The next day, Zhang Qi, who was more alert, hurried out. He was on a special trip to bring a message for Fang Zhiyi. The target of the message was some marginal families in Qingzhou. Disputes often occurred among the wealthy families. Those who fell into poverty were marginalized over time, and after a few generations, they would become no different from ordinary people.
Zhang Qi didn't understand Fang Zhiyi's intentions. What did these marginal figures have to say? Old Master Fang had strong connections with several wealthy families in Qingzhou, and his business was profitable... But now that he had said that, he should just do whatever he was told.
Liu Mang was doing another thing, which was to win over the servants in the mansion so that there would be more manpower to do the work. For this purpose, Fang Zhiyi even took out all his saved salary.
Looking at the pitifully meager salary, Fang Zhiyi could only comfort himself that everything would be there, money and everything.
One day, two days, and several days passed.
Fang Zhiyi didn't read much anymore. He just wandered around the government office all day long, and no one knew what he was doing. Liu Mang and Zhang Qi were also busy, but they were becoming more and more confused and didn't understand how Fang Zhiyi was planning to make money.
Fang Zhiyi's actions had naturally caught Fang Hongyuan's attention, because Fang Zhiyi had no intention of hiding at all, because hiding would arouse the vigilance of this old fox. But now, he just despised Fang Zhiyi, and contempt is often fatal.
