Having said this, Xu Wenshu said no more.
It’s not that I don’t get along with Fang Zheng, I just feel uncomfortable.
Originally, not long after he took office, the national treasury was full.
Who would have thought that a Jinyiwei would come? This Jinyiwei had a terrifying appetite, and the food expenses for one person were equivalent to that of five ordinary people. He didn't want to give so much at first, but he couldn't resist Fang Zhengyi's face and soft and hard persuasion, so he finally approved the money.
Jinyiwei wants money, so I endure it! Without Fang Zhengyi, it would not be his turn to take the position! What about Kaihai? Five million taels have been reserved, and I don’t know how much silver it will cost to rebuild the Shenjiying.

"Master Fang, be careful with your words! Aren't you just being unreasonable? That's not the way!"
"He's started again!"
"Master Fang, studying things to gain knowledge is not exclusive to scholars, but craftsmanship is not what scholars should do either? A gentleman is not a tool, so how can he devote himself to trivial matters like a craftsman?"
Fang Zheng blew his beard and glared: "What! Penicillin has saved countless lives, and firearms and gunpowder will surely perform miracles on the battlefield in the future, and countless soldiers will benefit from it."
"You actually said this is just a trivial matter? As if you can figure it out if you try hard. If anyone disagrees, we will drag them out!"
