After finishing his lunch box, Emperor Jing took a sip from the teacup on the table and said casually, "I have already sent people to the Banshan newspaper office. I didn't expect that the victims of the Jianjiang disaster eat better than the reporters of your newspaper."
"I heard that the reporters at the newspaper drink salt water and eat steamed buns. They don't use oil when cooking and only cook half of the dishes. What's going on?"
"Ah, what is this...? That's not right, Your Majesty! I asked them to drink egg soup? How come it turned into salt water?" Fang Zheng was completely confused.
Emperor Jing glanced at him and said, "Even if it was egg soup, there should be nothing wrong with the other things. What's going on? I see that you are quite generous to the disaster victims, so why are you so stingy with the reporters?"
That's my money! The newspaper is not profitable yet, and the reporter doesn't have a Taoyuan residence permit! What good things are you thinking?
Unexpectedly, he was discovered by His Majesty. Fang Zhengyi wanted to cry but had no tears. He argued: "Your Majesty! Journalists have the great responsibility of promoting social justice!"
"There are constant temptations from the outside world every day! Just imagine, if the journalists are not determined and accept bribes, wouldn't the foundation of the newspaper be destroyed?"
"As the saying goes, when God wants to give a man a great responsibility, he must first make his mind suffer, his muscles and bones tired, his body hungry and his body empty! I want to train their willpower!"
"When they grow up, I will give them more money and good food!"
Guo Tianyang spat secretly, what a piece of shit! This treatment is almost as good as the eunuchs in the laundry shop, and he still has the nerve to quibble! !
Emperor Jing nodded after listening: "Yes, there is some truth in this, but this is too much. I heard that the reporters are very tired every day. I will feed them better in the future!"
Fang Zhengyi said quickly, "Yes! The newspaper still has benefits! Your Majesty may not know this."
"I know you gave me those worthless stones as rewards!"
“……….”
Fang Zheng was indignant. How could it be worthless? If I sold it, I would make a fortune!
Emperor Jing looked at him with disdain: "No need to say more, from now on, the meals for reporters must at least be the same as those for the disaster victims!"
Reporter\u003dDisaster victims?
Fang Zheng's eyes turned and he was happy: "Okay! I will correct it when I get back."
Emperor Jing continued, "Okay, tell me how you plan to resettle those disaster victims."
Fang Zhengyi sorted out his thoughts and said calmly, "Your Majesty, regarding the various projects in the city, I expect that most of them will be completed within a year."
"About a year later, a considerable number of them will begin to return home."
"Many landowners were hit hard by the disaster and became homeless, so there should be a lot of vacant land."
"Plus, there may be deviations in previous measurements. I suggest that more people should be sent to re-measure the land at this time."
"We will distribute the ownerless land to the disaster victims and exempt them from paying rent for three years. However, only 20 mu of land can support a family of four, so the land may not be enough."
"In this case, we can only ask the Ministry of Revenue to allocate money to help the victims tide over the difficulties."
“Once the sweet potatoes are fully planted, everything will be fine.”
After listening to this, Emperor Jing smiled faintly: "Okay, it coincides with my idea."
"Don't worry about this matter. I will arrange someone to do it."
Then he sighed again: "I see that you are impulsive and reckless. I am really worried that you will lead the prince astray."
"After this trip, I have gotten to know you again. I don't have to worry too much now that the Crown Prince is by your side."
Fang Zheng smiled shyly.
What do you mean? What do we do without reason? What do you mean by reckless?
Emperor Jing continued, "As soon as I entered Jianjiang, Nie Zheng reported to me the news about the Crown Prince."
"I remember everything the prince has done."
"At first, I was worried about him. The prince's personality is quite similar to that of the late emperor when he was young. He is a lively and martial person, but also a Taoist."
"I have found him the best teachers and the best environment. I hope he can change his temper and become a king who upholds the status quo, so as not to follow the old path of the previous emperor."
"I didn't expect to run into you and end up like this today."
As he spoke, Emperor Jing laughed again.
"Fang Qing, the prince suddenly changed so much after seeing you. Do you have other methods besides beating people that you haven't told me?"
Fang Zheng was embarrassed.
What did I teach? I was a laissez-faire parent. How could this be taught by me? This is simply the outburst of nature!
Thinking of this, Fang Zhengyi could only bite the bullet and say, "Your Majesty, some birds are born to be trapped."
"His Highness is such a person, a person who longs for freedom. If he is trapped in the palace every day, he will naturally not be able to grow up healthily."
"Since he could not lead troops to fight, and he had no way to apply the classics he had learned, he could only indulge in entertainment."
"It is the nature of young people to be martial. I was also martial when I was young. This is also natural."
When I was the prince's age, I was going crazy with Yasuo! Who doesn't value martial arts?
Fang Zheng paused for a moment, reorganized his thoughts, and said, "The prince is kind-hearted and compassionate."
"Not only that, but he is also brave enough to take on responsibilities. I can't say that I have taught you anything, but you have benefited me a lot."
"Your Majesty asked why the prince had changed so much. Perhaps it was because he had been depressed in the palace for too long and had no chance to display his talents."
"Now the prince has revealed his true heart."
"So what I want to say is, it's not that I have any magical methods, it's just that the Crown Prince is a natural benevolent monarch!"
After hearing these words, Emperor Jing originally wanted to maintain his usual serious expression, but he couldn't suppress the wild upward curling of the corners of his mouth.
Yes! Isn't my son a born benevolent ruler?
Fang Zheng just grinned and laughed!
Are you happy when I praise your child?
Your Majesty is flattered, and your Majesty knows everything clearly. Now I put the hat on your son's head, aren't you confused?
Of course, what we say is from our heart, the prince's evolutionary ability is indeed at its maximum.
Guo Tianyang has given up studying and continues to play badly.
He chewed the melon seeds that the waiter had just brought him with an expressionless face, not even spitting out the skins.
Fang Zhengyi raised his head and looked at Emperor Jing, curiously asking, "Your Majesty just said that the Crown Prince is like the late Emperor and believes in Taoism? Then why have I never seen an alchemist in the palace?"
Emperor Jing was silent for a while after hearing this, and said with emotion: "Yes, when the late emperor was young, he was very warlike. He did everything he could to increase his military strength."
"In his later years, he became obsessed with immortality and cultivating immortality, and searched all over the country for people with alchemy skills to make elixirs for him."
Emperor Jing closed his eyes, feeling helpless:
"At that time, I kept persuading the late emperor to give up refining the elixir, but it only made the late emperor furious."
"Later, King Wu found a lot of alchemists for the late emperor, and the elixirs they made were quite effective. After taking them, people felt refreshed and sweated profusely."
"I saw that it had such a miraculous effect and did not try to stop it. Unfortunately, the heavens were cruel and the late emperor passed away not long after!"
