On the way back, Zhang Biao was carrying several hundred taels of silver.
A group of petty clerks followed him with long faces. They had originally dreamed of getting a share of the silver, but they didn't expect that they would not get a share.
Fang Zhengyi looked very happy. Things were going smoothly and everything was within expectations.
But Li Yuanzhao was unhappy, with a gloomy face and a depressed look.
Obviously he was not satisfied with Fang Zhengyi's approach.
I originally thought that I was helping the weak and fighting against a group of hooligans, but I didn't expect that I would become part of their gang.
After returning to the office, Li Yuanzhao finally couldn't help but ask.
"Lao Fang! Why did you do that? Those people obviously didn't do anything good."
Fang Zheng smiled and pushed a bag of silver on the table to Li Yuanzhao.
Explained: "Don't be impatient, Your Highness... Things need to be done step by step."
"We can't eliminate all of them for now. Once we eliminate one wave, another wave will appear soon. Their descendants will be endless."
"Your Highness can't waste all your time fighting guerrilla warfare with this group of people."
"I have my reasons for doing this. You see, we can gather them together and catch them all in one fell swoop after they recruit all the other small fish and shrimps."
Li Yuanzhao's brows relaxed, but he still felt a little unwilling.
"Then how can you still let them give our people money? Wouldn't that mean the officials are in cahoots with the bandits? I won't agree to that!"
Fang Zhengyi said earnestly, "Your Highness, this is the current situation."
"Old problems are hard to change. We have to do everything step by step. After all, I don't have a system!"
"What is the system?"
"Well... let's not talk about that. Let's just say that if the water is too clear, there will be no fish. If we really want to conduct a thorough investigation, who among us is clean except me?"
"If the situation is really serious, I'm afraid no one will be able to devote their lives with peace of mind."
"You see, it's the same with your medical team. If you strictly require every member to work seriously, it's unrealistic. You have to give people room to be lazy. Even if you don't let them be lazy, they will find a chance to rest. If you push them too hard, they will rebel!"
Li Yuanzhao touched his chin, thoughtfully.
"Yes, you have some truth in what you said..."
"Also, this is a problem with the entire system. We don't have the time or ability to rectify it for now. Right now, Yan Guoan is doing very well. We have to hurry up and make money!"
After saying that, he handed another piece of paper to Li Yuanzhao.
"Your Highness, please read this. This is the information I sent someone to inquire about Yan Guoan. I heard that the people there all praised Yan Guoan's governance."
Li Yuanzhao snatched the paper.
She stared at him with wide eyes: "Wow! He is actually quite good! I thought he was just boasting! His reputation is even better than ours?"
Fang Zhengyi was also puzzled.
Is this bastard trying to start a propaganda war with me? When the investigation report was sent back, it was full of people praising Yan's achievements in national security governance.
There are also many scholars who rush to give flattery.
The people in Banshanfang also heard about it, and many of them envied the people in Dengjinfang. It was really an honor for them to have such a top scholar personally governing the market.
Moreover, life has become much better, and I have less complaints about Mid-Levels.
Why aren't there any educated people here to praise us? The streets are so well maintained, can't these bastards see it?
No! If I continue like this, I'm afraid I'll lose in public opinion!
"Your Highness! Look at how well this bastard has done in promoting the product. We can't lose! We have to think of a solution!"
Li Yuanzhao looked a little depressed after reading the report: "What else are you thinking about? Didn't you let the Banshan Stage perform those plays praising the emperor every day? What's the point of talking? The emperor won't come to our place."
"In my opinion, it would be better to change the protagonist to this palace!"
"And those earthy and vulgar plays! It's time to change them!"
Fang Zheng smiled awkwardly. What he said was from the bottom of his heart. How did it become flattery?
Besides, such earthy and vulgar plays are just right for the common people. Who would watch them if they were to make them so complicated?
After a day of farm work, why not tell some dirty jokes to relax everyone?
Didn't you also find it exciting to watch Fahai beat Bai Suzhen with a stick? Superficial!
"Well... I have some idea! We'll have a new play tomorrow! Fan Jin passed the imperial examination! Let the troupe perform as hard as they can, and I'll tear off the hypocritical masks of those scholars!"
"What does Fan Jin mean by passing the imperial examination?"
"Oh, this is a play I have seen. It has been arranged and will be performed tomorrow! It will be performed for several days!"
................
There is no doubt that the social value of turning Fan Jin's success in the imperial examination into a play is enormous, and it is full of sharp satire.
The most important thing is that Fang Zheng remembered the text quite clearly, and after some magical modifications he was able to perform it directly.
But compared to the dirty jokes I usually perform...the appeal is much less...
So Fang Zhengyi personally took action and once again demonstrated his design skills that had been influenced by modern education.
A brand new poster was born.
The main part of the poster depicts the young and handsome Fan Jin, surrounded by a group of beauties holding various gifts.
Next to it were written...useless son-in-law...get rich overnight...mother-in-law and daughter-in-law...chicken, so happy that you pass out, and other stimulating words to attract onlookers.
Anyway, there is no messy supervision, just post it on the street!
If Wu Jingzi knew about this, he would probably crawl out of the coffin right on the spot and be taken away by Fang Zheng.
