The three of them continued walking, and Fang Zhengyi waited for Emperor Jing to speak.
After walking for about half a cup of tea, Emperor Jing looked around for a while before slowly saying, "Fang Qing, I have to admit that your achievements here have far exceeded my expectations."
"I should reward you well."
After hearing what Emperor Jing said, Fang Zhengyi had a sense of acquaintance and couldn't help but start thinking about it.
If nothing unexpected happens, His Majesty will say: You are too young now, I will definitely use you in an important role in the future.
"However, you are still too young now. I will definitely use you in the future."
Haha, this cake is so choking. I have eaten several pieces.
Emperor Jing said to himself: "I didn't expect you to catch Liu Xun."
"It seems that giving you the sword was the right decision."
When the Imperial Sword was mentioned, Fang Zhengyi's heart began to lift.
Let's not talk about this! The sword is in such bad shape and it's still broken. If you take it back one day, will I be alive?
"Even I haven't used that sword, so you should keep it well from now on!"
Um? !
Upon hearing this, Fang Zheng perked up and asked curiously, "Your Majesty has never used that sword either?"
"I have a lot of swords! If I use every one of them, I don't know how many years it will take. Why do you suddenly talk about this?" Emperor Jing suddenly stopped and looked at Fang Zhengyi.
"Is there something special about that sword?"
Fang Zheng was overjoyed when he heard this, but his face was filled with grief and indignation as he said, "Your Majesty! To be honest, that sword is not even worth using! It's just a ceremonial sword, it's flashy but not practical!"
"That Liu Xun not only committed many evil deeds and brought disaster to the people, but he also had a rebellious mind and bone hyperplasia!"
"When I killed him, the sword of Gan Guo broke!"
Broken?
The corners of Emperor Jing's eyes twitched unconsciously.
The ceremonial sword of the royal family of the Gan Kingdom would not break even if it was used to strike someone, right?
The rebellious bone is located in the back of the head...Shouldn't beheading be done by cutting the neck?
But this was a trivial matter, and Emperor Jing did not take it to heart. He said calmly: "It's broken, so let it be. I will give you another one later."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Fortunately, His Majesty didn't think too much about it and resolved the issue.
Emperor Jing continued, "Liu Xun has a lot of connections behind him, I didn't expect that. The treasury of Jianjiang was emptied, do you have any clues?"
Fang Zheng thought for a moment and replied, "No, if I have the ability to find out, I will definitely find out first and then report to Your Majesty."
"This matter is beyond my ability. I ask your majesty to make your decision!"
Emperor Jing glanced at Guo Tianyang and said calmly, "I have already handed it over to the East Factory to investigate, but so far no clues have been found."
Guo Tianyang, who was still playing badly, immediately became nervous when he heard Emperor Jing say this.
What's going on! Why did it happen to me again?
"The East Factory has been increasingly disappointing me over the years!"
"I have no choice but to consider raising a new force to patrol the country and supervise all officials for me."
"But I haven't decided on a name yet."
"Fang Qing, you are capable, and I value you very much! But... you are still inexperienced."
"You just have to behave well..."
Fang Zheng took a deep breath and blurted out, "Jinyiwei?"
Emperor Jing was also stunned, and laughed dumbly: "Jinyiwei? What a good name, why not call it Jinyiwei."
Fang Zheng was so shocked that he broke out in a cold sweat.
If I really do this job, I will be completely on the opposite side in front of all the officials.
Everyone is afraid of me when they see me, so how can I get along with others?
Wouldn’t that make your reputation even worse?
He quickly declined, "No, no, no, I am still young and I cannot do this job."
"In my humble opinion, Eunuch Guo knows how to appoint the right people, so there is no need for the court to spend money to recruit another Jinyiwei."
Guo Tianyang was standing aside, also in a daze.
I feel so disappointed. It seems that our family has really fallen out of favor this time.
His Majesty no longer wants Fang Zhengyi to replace himself, but instead wants to throw the entire East Factory aside.
Fortunately, Guo Tianyang came back to his senses after hearing Fang Zheng's words.
I couldn't help but feel touched.
This dear brother...can speak some human language.
Emperor Jing glanced at Fang Zhengyi calmly and said, "Why, are you still afraid of offending people?"
"You are acting lawless, and the prince has become like this too!"
"I still have a debt to settle with you!"
Huh? Fang Zheng was stunned.
He said cautiously, "Minister, I didn't do anything?"
Emperor Jing frowned and glared, "You didn't do anything!? What did you say to Miao Han!?"
"She was carrying that sanitary napkin thing in the palace and letting the palace maids use it everywhere!"
"She even came to me and asked me to give her money."
"I have tolerated you for this matter for a long time! It is now forbidden in the palace, so do not mention such obscene things again!"
"You can be shameless, but don't kidnap my daughter!"
Fang Zheng felt relieved when he heard Emperor Jing say this.
I thought it was something else!
After heaving a sigh of relief, Fang Zhengyi patiently explained, "Your Majesty! That's a fun thing! How can it be considered obscene? It's a good thing to be civilized and hygienic!"
Before he could finish his words, he heard Emperor Jing angrily say, "Shut up, I don't want to listen!"
“But it makes money!”
“How much can you earn?”
"That's too many to count! There are so many women in the world! If I could earn a few cents from each of them a month, I'd be making a fortune!"
Emperor Jing looked a little embarrassed, and after adjusting his expression, he said calmly, "No matter how much money you make."
"Don't mention this matter again for now! Even if it is a good thing, it appeared at the wrong time."
"The people of the world are not optimistic about this, you should also consider your own reputation as an official, so let's do this!"
Fang Zhengyi smiled slightly and said, "Your Majesty, the reason why people in the world regard it as an ominous sign is simply because women have a low status!"
"If women could earn money to support the family, this view wouldn't necessarily be so prevalent."
"Several textile factories have been built in Jianjiang Prefecture, and they only recruit female workers. The monthly salary is no worse than that of men. I wonder how many people envy them."
"I think some customs will change sooner or later."
Emperor Jing chuckled after hearing this and said, "Perhaps, when the prince reaches my age, I might see it."
Fang Zhengyi shrugged.
It doesn't matter if the emperor doesn't believe it. It's normal that some things cannot be accomplished for dozens or even hundreds of years, but since I have made a start, my efforts are not in vain.
It's just a pity.
If we can really do it, wouldn't our female fists be twice as powerful, and we can walk all over Jing Country with our heads held high?
"There is no need to discuss this matter any further! You don't need to mention it again in the palace."
The king and his minister chatted idly.
Soon a construction site appeared in front of us.
The ground had been turned up and a pile of bricks and stones was piled nearby.
Workers are leveling the land and putting in bricks...
Emperor Jing looked towards the end of the street, his eyes showing a look of surprise, and asked in astonishment: "Why are there so many words on this road?"
Fang Zheng explained when he saw this: "Your Majesty, the words on this road are actually..."
