"Brother! Why can't you marry me!"
"We have always been just siblings, Xiaojuan, don't worry about it!"
"You have already seen through my innocence, and now you tell me that we are brother and sister? You must marry me, or I will die!"
"But...but I'm a eunuch!"
"What's wrong with being a eunuch? Can't eunuchs marry and have children?"
"Juan! Stop talking!"
............
The people under the stage in Mid-Levels Square were screaming and shouting, all of them were in an extremely excited state.
Such exciting theatrical performances greatly enriched the daily lives of the people in the capital.
The happiness index is off the charts!
Fang Zhengyi sat in the VIP seat with a gloomy face, watching the passionate performance on the stage.
As expected, Taoyuan County’s culture is exported again.
Wu Sheng is a bastard, he is unworthy of being a scholar, he has been mixing all kinds of messy elements into his work.
Terminal illness, car accident, and ethics are all there in less than half the movie.
Li Yuanzhao was obviously not interested in such an eye-catching performance.
"Hey, Lao Fang, this thing doesn't seem to be for people to see... It's far worse than the Legend of the White Snake."
They're the same... they're all equally disgusting people.
Fang Zhengyi said helplessly: "Don't let people play these kinds of roles anymore! Change the role! Promote positive energy! It's best to play a role that is patriotic and family-oriented. Play a role for three months before changing it!"
"If I keep reading this nonsense every day, I will inevitably be impeached again in the future!"
Li Yuanzhao was also helpless: "Let's talk about business. How long will it take for you to come back?"
Fang Zheng kept saying, "I don't know, maybe a year or two, or three to five years."
"Perhaps I can come back once the famine is over."
Li Yuanzhao lowered his head and suddenly gnashed his teeth and said, "It's all the fault of those old guys! Wait for me to help you get revenge! I will continue to deal with them in the newspapers."
"Try to collect all the food at once, so you don't have to go."
"Forget it, Your Highness." Fang Zheng smiled and patted his shoulder.
"That's enough. We can't do it again for the third time. Too much is as bad as too little. What we did the second time was already too much."
"Public credibility is the life of a newspaper. We have already lost some of it. If this continues, you don't want to see the newspaper disappear."
"It is not surprising that I am where I am today. I have nothing to complain about."
"Besides, your majesty has given me a lot of good things, so maybe I can come back soon."
Li Yuanzhao raised his head and looked at Fang Zhengyi: "Then... how much can the food we collected contribute to disaster relief?"
Fang Zheng shook his head and said, "It's just a drop in the bucket. Relying on donations for disaster relief will never succeed."
"The solution to the food crisis lies not with you or me, nor with the court officials, but with Your Majesty."
"Your Majesty's words are as good as gold. If Your Majesty wants to solve it, then it can definitely be solved!"
Li Yuanzhao forced a smile: "Old Fang, you are joking again. The emperor is not here. What's the point of saying this to me! Anyway, I won't say it in front of the emperor."
"I'm not joking!" Fang Zheng's expression turned serious.
"The worst-hit areas are the north of Jianjiang Prefecture, Lin Prefecture, and Yunlu Prefecture.
"Your Majesty only needs to issue an imperial edict to order the three prefectures to renovate government offices, build temples, and start large-scale construction projects."
"If we encourage the wealthy families to have fun and feast, and build houses, we will be able to get through this difficult time."
Li Yuanzhao was stunned and said hesitantly, "How is it possible! Father would never issue such an edict!"
"In times of disaster, if civil engineering projects are built and entertainment and feasting are encouraged, people all over the world will surely be excited."
"That's it. You also know that His Majesty will never issue such an edict, so it makes no difference whether I say it or not." After saying this, Fang Zheng shrugged.
"But why do this? There is no food among the people, and it is impossible to have food for building civil engineering projects." Li Yuanzhao was full of confusion.
Fang Zhengyi replied: "No, the people have food, and it is definitely not a small amount."
"The country has been stable for the past two years, so there will definitely be many new nobles emerging."
"It's normal for wealthy families to store food for several years, and they have the money to continue buying food."
"Building large-scale projects and promoting extravagance can turn the dead money in the rich families into living money. When wealth flows, the people will naturally have food to eat."
Li Yuanzhao looked up and thought.
After a while, he suddenly slapped his forehead!
"I understand! Work-for-relief, right? You told me about it before."
Fang Zheng smiled and said, "Yes, it is work-for-relief. Such a simple principle will not be lost on any of the old officials in the court."
"But this move has to be carried out despite the criticism of the world. Building large-scale projects while the people are suffering from disasters and promoting luxury are tantamount to running counter to today's morality."
"So, just one imperial edict can solve a big problem. No, one imperial edict is not enough, three in a row are needed! Local officials will not doubt your majesty's will, otherwise they will write letters to inquire, and a lot of time will be wasted in the back and forth."
"But no one will do it, and no one will think about it, including me."
"Now we can change some people's minds through newspapers, but everything takes time."
After saying that, Fang Zhengyi looked back at the stage and stopped talking.
Li Yuanzhao lowered his head silently, not knowing what he was thinking.
The play on the stage has reached its climax.
"Juan! Don't go. Can't you accept me?"
"Call my name, I want you to call my name..."
"I'm sorry, I can't accept a rootless person. Brother, let's call each other brother and sister from now on."
"Juan! Juan!"
Fang Zhengyi almost vomited after taking a look at it. What the hell was that? The eunuch on the stage had an extremely coquettish expression.
It seems that the story of Feng Yun was mixed in. I shouldn't tell stories to children blindly.
This time when we go back to Jianjiang, we must bring that bastard Wu Sheng with us!
If we allow him to continue causing harm, the air in Taoyuan County will become unbreathable.
It was really an eye-opener. Fang Zheng glanced to the side and saw Li Yuanzhao still in deep thought, so he smiled.
"Your Highness, don't worry. Human power is limited. Just do your best and live with a clear conscience."
Li Yuanzhao took a deep breath and said, "I have made up my mind! I will report this matter to my father."
"If it doesn't work once, try it twice. If it doesn't work twice, try it three times! I won't give up until I achieve my goal!"
"Don't worry, Lao Fang. I won't let you stay there for too long!"
"Actually, I think it's useless to submit a memorial, but Your Highness, there's no harm in trying it twice. His Majesty might be very happy. I will definitely bring you some local specialties when I return from Jianjiang!" Fang Zhengyi couldn't help but feel a little touched.
"Don't think too much about it yet, just watch the show! It's the end, watch it and go home!"
Li Yuanzhao looked up when he heard that, and his eyes twitched twice.
I saw a man and a woman hugging each other again.
"Brother, didn't you say that eunuchs can't marry without the emperor's permission?"
"I will kneel down and ask His Majesty, if Your Majesty disagrees, then I will disobey your order!"
