He was said to be given two days off, but Fang Zheng got lazy and stayed for three days.
However, he was not completely idle. He did write a detailed letter about the evidence of Zhang Shi's crimes, but he had not submitted it yet.
Small results have already begun to emerge from the gunpowder side.
The palace directly sent someone to deliver the Jinyiwei's charter to Taoyuan County, and he naturally had to carefully customize the future plans of the Jinyiwei.
As the sword in the emperor's hand has not been completely forged, he still has some power to influence, so he must be careful and attentive.
If you don't play this game well, it won't be surprising if you lose your life.
When Fang Zhengyi was making plans these days, he often felt sorry for not being able to travel back to the Ming Dynasty.
If this happened to Zhu Yuanzhang, I would probably be left with nothing but bones if I jumped like this.
It was said in later generations that Old Zhu loved his people like his own children, but Beggar Fang was an experienced man and had different views.
He started from a high point and jumped out of the quagmire early, but even so, the little lamb was forced to become a bandit leader.
A ruthless person like Zhu Yuanzhang, relying on his extremely strong personal abilities, murderous intent at every step, from a beggar to the top of the society, his humanity is almost worn out and there is not much left.
Probably except for the queen and his son, who are the last soft spots in his heart, 90% of the rest is hard.
Moreover, Zhu Yuanzhang came from a humble background and had a strong sense of crisis, so the Jinyiwei's surveillance capabilities were fully utilized.
Even ordinary people should supervise each other. If you dare to lie down, be lazy, or travel far away... in serious cases, you will be sentenced to death.
A ruthless person in troubled times who wants to gain a foothold usually does not have much humanity, emotion, and morality. This is Fang Zhengyi’s humble opinion.
Fortunately, the person he met was Emperor Jing.
He was born into an orthodox aristocratic family, and judging from his experience, he had hardly ever lost since he was a child, and had a smooth journey. Such people tend to have a strong sense of security and are tolerant and generous.
Fang Zhengyi could feel from him a very precious quality of this era: health.
A comprehensive health from mental to physical.
After taking a look at the rough regulations handed over by his superiors, Fang Zheng felt that they were almost the same as those of the East Factory.
It was probably because Emperor Jing felt that the East Factory was not doing its job well and wanted to use two sets of institutions to run in parallel and complement each other.
But people change. What if he gets confused and suspicious when he gets old? What if he doesn't have the same sense of security as when he was young and strong?
Therefore, Fang Zhengyi still wanted to make some adjustments within his ability, mainly in the Southern Pacification Office.
The Southern Pacification Division was responsible for military discipline and punishment within the Jinyiwei, and strict regulations were needed to constrain the Jinyiwei.
After three days of thinking, I didn't make much progress. But it was time to go to Beijing. If I delayed any further, I would be scolded.
Li Yuanzhao also stayed in Taoyuan County for three days. He only returned to Beijing once and had a great time the rest of the time.
On the day of returning to Beijing, Li Yuanzhao walked on the street with Fang Zhengyi, followed by a group of runners, preparing to walk out of the city.
Halfway through the journey, Li Yuanzhao suddenly pointed to the side of the road and said with a smile: "Old Fang, I think the notice from your county government is not that useful. Aren't these beggars still here? I've seen them several times."
Fang Zheng looked carefully and saw several people gathered at the door of a restaurant. He looked through the gap and saw that they were the two beggars from before.
Glancing at Ao Chen, Ao Chen shook his head: "I don't know, sir. Logically speaking, we shouldn't let the people below beg. Our efficiency is not that low."
"Let's go and take a look." Fang Zheng walked over.
When someone saw Fang Zheng coming, they immediately made way for him.
Fang Zheng looked down and was delighted!
There was a piece of white cloth on the ground with two words written on it: [Sell it! ]
Brother Liu and Xiaoqiang felt the crowd around them disperse and instinctively raised their heads.
When the two saw Fang Zhengyi, they immediately knelt down and buried their faces in the ground, wishing they could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
"My words don't count in the county anymore, do they? I told you to stop begging. I'll find you a job. Stop begging here!"
Brother Liu raised his head and smiled reluctantly: "Master... we are not beggars... Thanks for selling, we are doing business! I paid the stall fee."
Ao Chen quickly stepped forward and reminded him: "Master, that's right! He paid the stall fee and still sells it here, no wonder our people didn't do anything about it! Our county has regulations, and we can't control the sale of air."
Li Yuanzhao also laughed: "This beggar is doing business, selling? Let me buy one and try!"
As he said this, he took out a silver ingot from his sleeve and threw it down.
Brother Liu grabbed the silver in his arms like a vicious dog pouncing on its prey and said in a silly voice, "Thank you!", and then there was no second word.
Li Yuanzhao was dumbfounded: "It's... It's over? Just say thank you and I'll give you two taels of silver!"
"Ah, just say it, no matter how much it is." Brother Liu's eyes magically moved left and right, and he began to pretend to be a mentally retarded person.
"What a talent! You two are truly a pair of talents. Just do your best. I won't care about you anymore! Come to me when you're done!" Fang Zhengyi couldn't help but sigh, "Let's go, Your Highness. The carriage is waiting outside the city."
Li Yuanzhao stared at Brother Liu with suspicion for a while, and finally left.
As he watched Fang Zheng's back gradually disappear into the distance, Brother Liu's eyes and face showed an unconcealable sense of loss.
I felt my nose a little sore and rubbed it with my hand.
He poked Xiaoqiang, who was still shivering on the ground with his head buried, and said, "He's gone. The master has gone. Don't hide anymore."
Xiao Qiang raised his head tremblingly, tears already in his eyes. After holding it back for a while, he couldn't hold back the tears, and they burst out like a dam bursting.
He cried loudly, "It's over! It's over! The master has seen me! I can't live like a human being anymore! Brother!"
Brother Liu patted Xiaoqiang on the back and consoled him, "You shouldn't be so sad that your childhood sweetheart ran away. Work hard. We have earned six hundred taels of silver each in the past few days."
