On the painted boat.
Li Yuanzhao and his group wolfed down various delicacies.
After more than ten days of traveling day and night, the bumpy ride had already made people extremely tired, and after waking up, they were filled with hunger like a tide.
When Fang Zheng ordered people to prepare a table full of delicious food, everyone immediately started eating.
Li Yuanzhao was halfway through his meal when he saw Fang Zhengyi picking at the dishes with his chopsticks.
I couldn't help but frown and said, "Old Fang, why are you so picky? And I haven't seen you for a few days and you've gained weight!"
"I thought you wouldn't be able to eat or sleep well when you arrived in Jianjiang."
Fang Zheng put down his chopsticks and smiled awkwardly, saying helplessly: "I don't want this to happen either."
"But this Liu Xun is really abominable! As soon as I arrived, he tried to corrupt me with delicious food and beautiful women. But as soon as I thought of Your Majesty and His Highness, my mind became clear and I cooperated with him."
"But during the time I was flirting with Liu Xun, I developed bad habits."
It’s the same old recipe, still the same flavor!
Li Yuanzhao grinned and laughed foolishly, then lowered his head and continued to eat.
Fang Zhengyi came close to him and whispered, "Your Majesty, how did you handle that..."
"Father must have known about it. I left him a letter. Maybe someone will come after him in a couple of days."
"If someone comes to see you, just tell them that I'm back in Beijing. Anyway, I don't want to go back. I've spent so much effort to get here, and you want to chase me away after just two days? Impossible!"
Fang Zhengyi was a little hesitant.
Involving Li Yuanzhao would probably cause a lot of trouble, but it would be too unkind to just let His Majesty's people take him away. It is not my style.
I can only continue to persuade him: "Your Highness, the newspaper and Banshanfang are still counting on you."
"If you were not here, wouldn't the other daily newspapers in the court take advantage of the situation and swoop in?"
"Besides, you don't know what will happen if you're not at the newspaper office. It will be troublesome to sort it out if you go back!"
Li Yuanzhao was chewing a large piece of mutton in his mouth, his cheeks were stuffed full and his mouth was full of oil.
She squinted at Fang Zhengyi and said unhappily, "Old Fang, you chased me away? Are you afraid of trouble? You dared to kill the prefect, and you are afraid when I am here?"
"Besides, you are the one who runs the newspaper. I have never had any involvement with it. It doesn't make much difference whether I am here or not."
"I don't care. I'm not leaving anyway. If I get caught, you'll never see my sister again!"
Li Yuanzhao spoke these words but sneered in his heart.
Miao Han has been begging my father for mercy many times. It looks like the situation is not good. Whether I go back or not, you will never see her again!
hiss~
Fang Zheng took a deep breath.
This kid is so cunning now! Damn it! He's been caught.
"Okay! Then you stay here! Follow my instructions for everything you do. I will let Zhang Biao protect you from now on."
"If you are worried about safety, why don't you tell the people outside the city that I have arrived? It's unnecessary!"
Fang Zheng laughed and said, "Why is this so unnecessary? Tomorrow you will come with me to the government office to convey the decree to the local authorities, and you will stamp it."
You have to carry one pot as well as two pots as well!
Help me take more risks before leaving!
Li Yuanzhao looked at Fang Zhengyi with disdain and continued eating.
When Fang Zheng saw Shen Yi and the others were still eating, he stood up and said loudly: “Brothers, it’s enough to eat. There will be another one later. I will take you to eat something good.”
"This time His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is taking you out for team building, just think of it as a public-funded tour!"
"Don't think too much. Take time to go out and collect more materials. You will have manuscripts to write when you return."
"As for food and drink, I will take care of it for you. If you are hungry or tired, go back to the ship to rest. This is your temporary accommodation."
"In a little while, there will be a Jiafeng Flower House opening in the city tonight. I will take you out to broaden your horizons. There will be food and entertainment provided! Have fun as much as you want!!"
When Li Yuanzhao heard this, he immediately stopped what he was saying.
Pulling Fang Zhengyi's sleeve, he asked, "Old Fang, is this Fenghua Tower opened by you? What's its relationship with Xueyue Tower?"
"You'll know once you get to His Highness. There's nothing else to do there, just eating, drinking and having fun!"
Li Yuanzhao suddenly lowered his voice and said, "If you take the reporters to play every day, I'm afraid they won't be interested in work when they go back!"
"People's hearts are scattered, and it's hard to lead the team!"
"It's not easy for us to recruit people! Before I left, I didn't see many people who met the requirements come to the newspaper for an interview."
Fang Zheng smiled crookedly: "They have been following you for more than ten days, and you won't let them take a break?"
"Let them have fun so they can go back and work well."
"Don't worry about anything else, Your Highness. I'll teach you!"
"After you get back, if there are people who don't work hard and always want to go home early, let them leave early and let the others continue to work overtime!"
"After a while, everyone will start to bully him! I wonder who will dare not work overtime in the future!"
"If they unite and want to get off work more normally, then you should find the leader, go into the room and have a private chat with him in front of everyone, and give him a raise and bonus!"
"Let's create a Labor Honor Award, a Perfect Attendance Award, or something like that, and give it to whoever works the most overtime!"
“We need to develop a newspaper culture where working overtime is an honor!”
"The newcomers can educate them about newspaper culture! Then find the old reporters to tell them stories, saying how they started out with nothing and now have a house, a BMW, and a wife!"
"Tell me, is he excited? Then they will throw the newcomers into the hardest and most tiring positions. After a year or half a year, those who don't show any resistance will stay and become management to continue training newcomers."
"If this is the case, and you still want him to get off work on time, is he still a human being? Does he still have any dignity? Is he worthy of the mattress we bought for him?!"
"Your Highness, this is the way of management. I guarantee that it will not be outdated even after two thousand years!"
Li Yuanzhao broke out in a cold sweat after hearing this, and glanced at Fang Zhengyi in shock and anger.
He whispered, "I just want them to work hard. Aren't the people below exhausted by your actions?"
Fang Zheng's face was stern, and he shouted, "Brothers! Am I good to you?"
"Great!!!" the reporters responded in unison, their faces full of excitement.
Fang Zhengyi smiled with satisfaction and continued in a low voice:
"If they do a good job, you can give them more money. If they don't do a good job, they can leave!"
"What does it have to do with me if the reporter dies of exhaustion? It's not me who caused him to die of exhaustion."
Li Yuanzhao: “………”
Seeing that the prince's young mind was shattered by the impact of advanced culture, Fang Zhengyi couldn't help but comfort him: "Alas! This is only temporary!"
"That's how growth works! Your Highness, think about it, is this how the ministers in the palace treated you when they asked you to study?"
Li Yuanzhao thought about it carefully and said hesitantly, "It seems so..."
"Do you think His Majesty will harm you?"
"Won't...."
"That's it!" Fang Zhengyi said righteously, "Your Majesty must be doing this for your own good. By the same token, I am definitely doing this for the good of the reporters below!"
"We not only give them jobs and promotion opportunities, but also give them money every month."
"So you're saying I'm abusing them?"
"Hi...You seem to be right!!"
