At Emperor Jing's order, the carriage began to turn around.
Fang Zhengyi didn't rush to follow and jumped back into his carriage.
The group of Hanlin scholars in front of him all kept their heads down, and no one made a sound.
Fang Zhengyi continued, "Don't you want to see how the market is managed by the Crown Prince and me?"
"Go ahead, I'll take responsibility for any faults you find!"
Everyone's knees had been aching for a long time, and many of them hesitated to stand up.
But Yang Yingcai, the leader, kept his head down and did not move, so no one dared to stand up rashly.
Seeing that no one took action, Fang Zhengyi continued, "Master Yang... please stand up."
Yang Yingcai looked up at Fang Zhengyi with hatred and said sarcastically, "Lord Fang is such a sharp-tongued person. His Majesty is now obedient to you. I am convinced."
Fang Zhengyi sneered: "If benevolence and righteousness are not practiced, the offensive and defensive situations will be different."
"I am truly practicing benevolent governance, but what about you? You sit and talk nonsense, shout slogans loudly."
"Good words cannot persuade a damned person, and mercy without salvation will only kill him."
"Alas, I, Fang Zhengyi, am too kind to tell you so much."
"Okay, I'm leaving. If you want to go to Banshanfang, just go straight there. If you don't want to go, just keep kneeling. I'll get someone to watch over you."
"But I advise you to leave now, while you can walk more easily~"
After saying that, Fang Zheng got back into the carriage, and the carriage sped away.
The Hanlin scholars cursed loudly behind him.
After hesitating for a long time, Yang Yingcai finally stood up trembling.
At this moment, he felt pain all over his body, especially his knees. He had been kneeling for a whole day and night, and he didn't know what kind of illness he would suffer.
The group of imperial officials behind him were mostly the same, rubbing their knees after standing up.
Yang Yingcai turned around and said, "Let's go! Let's go to Banshanfang to see how Fang Zhengyi is managing it!"
"If we allow this villain to continue to spread his influence, how can we save our dignity?"
Everyone smiled bitterly.
I don't have any face left now, I'm afraid I've lost it all...
Gu Tian hesitated in the crowd and said, "What should we do if Fang Zheng Yizhen governs well?"
Yang Yingcai said angrily: "What good governance do you mean! Such heavy rains come every one or two years in Beijing. Could it be that Fang Zheng has some magic? How can he possibly solve it?"
"But your majesty has clearly been to Banshanfang, and Fang Zhengyi also swore to it. I'm afraid..."
Yang Yingcai said, "Bah! This villain is probably just pretending to be smart. You are all very smart people. Can't you see through Fang Zhengyi's tricks?"
"I think he is just a villain who has achieved success and has gotten carried away. We are going there to expose his disguise!"
The Hanlin scholars responded weakly: "We are willing to follow Lord Yang."
"You all can't bear it any longer. Whoever has some money can go find some carriages first."
Upon hearing this, everyone began to search for their belongings.
Then one after another, people's faces began to change.
“My money is gone!”
"Oh! I have none left! I took ten taels with me when I went out and I only spent five taels. How...how did the remaining silver go?"
"My silver is lost too!"
Yang Yingcai looked at the crowd of people looking for silver in front of him, tears almost burst out, and wailed, "Are they all lost?"
Someone gnashed his teeth and said, "It's lost! It's all lost! There must be a thief among those unruly people! Damn it!"
"Yan Guoan deserves to die! The security in this neighborhood is so bad! He is a waste! He is eating the emperor's salary in vain!"
"Then are we still going to Banshanfang?"
\"Go! Now that things have come to this, what else can we do!\"
.............
Fang Zheng in Banshanfang arranged Zhang San to inform Ding Quan early in the morning.
So the people on the street were notified urgently.
The streets must be kept clean and tidy, and anyone from outside who does not follow the rules will be driven away!
Those who don't obey will be directly pulled away to sieve the sand.
Brothels were not allowed to solicit customers, and scholars had to discuss poetry and lyrics loudly next to tea stalls on the street!
In various service places, we always make beds available to welcome distinguished foreign guests.
Arrangements have also been made for the children, who are at least expected to be polite and not make any noise.
The medical team has a large number of members and strong mobilization capabilities!
Although it is not Taoyuan County, Fang Zhengyi is still very confident about this little matter.
........
After a while, the Hanlin scholars finally arrived.
It was impossible to walk, really too much to walk. Someone went home and got some money to hire a carriage to bring the group over.
Naturally, there were constant curses in the carriage along the way.
However, it was no longer clear whether the person being scolded was Yan Guoan or Fang Zhengyi.
After going through so much trouble, the Hanlin scholars were dumbfounded when they arrived at Banshanfang.
Although there are not many pedestrians on the street in front of me, there are definitely quite a few.
Apart from the people Fang Zhengyi brought, there was no other common people to be seen on Dengjinfang Street.
The cobblestone road was clean, with occasional puddles in some places but overall it looked insignificant.
Everyone stood in the street in confusion.
Someone asked Yang Yingcai: "Master Yang...what should we do?"
Yang Yingcai gritted his teeth and said, "Education is the key. The road is not flooded because Fang Zhengyi paid for the reconstruction of the waterway... Let's see how they conduct public security and education, and then we will go our separate ways!"
Upon hearing this, everyone dispersed in a sick mood.
I'm tired, really tired.
There's no point in deceiving yourself at this point.
I just want to admit defeat now...
