The next morning, Fang Zhengyi took Zhang Biao and Xiao Tao on a carriage back to Taoyuan County.
In the afternoon, Fang Zhengyi packed up the penicillin experimental equipment and notes that he had kept in the East Palace and took them away.
Bai Yi strongly requested to look after the house, and Fang Zhengyi agreed.
After all, there is no point in having a maid with a not-so-good brain.
The three of them were in a very happy mood along the way, after all, they had been away from Taoyuan County for so long.
Xiao Tao chattered all the way, Fang Zheng listened to her with a grin, and Zhang Biao also sat beside him with a silly smile.
Under Fang Zhengyi's urging, the driver traveled quickly and arrived at Taoyuan County in half a day.
But it was quite bumpy, the road was rough and winding, and the carriage was going very fast.
We were lucky that the car didn't fall apart halfway, as the road only got better once we entered the county town.
At this time, Xiao Tao was lying outside the car window and vomiting. As soon as Fang Zheng got out of the car and looked at the surrounding mountains, he felt his mind broadened.
Although we were not at the same time, we were at the same place, and I couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
Taoyuan County, your Master Fang is back!
Soon Fang Zhengyi saw an old farmer on the bus and was about to extend his hand to say hello.
The old farmer also looked over, and then he screamed as if he had seen a ghost and ran towards the county town, running faster than the carriage...
The smile on Fang Zheng's face froze.
What the hell! What's going on? I've only been away for a few days and the people are rebelling! ?
Fang Zheng was completely confused, and the carriage continued on its journey.
A strange thing happened. Every time he met someone, he would run towards the county town without even having time to say hello, with his fangs and claws bared like a mad dog.
It was not until the carriage arrived at the city gate that Fang Zhengyi suddenly realized what was going on.
The crowd swarmed at the city gate, and everyone looked at Fang Zhengyi with a smile on their face.
Several high-ranking leaders from the leading yamen stood in front of the crowd.
There was a group of children on both sides of the road, each holding a bouquet of flowers in their hands.
There were people holding up a banner at the back, which was obviously made temporarily. On the white cloth was written "Welcome back to Taoyuan County" in red ink, which looked like a debt collection scene.
Fang Zheng was delighted when he saw it. Isn't this the same style that was used to welcome Inspector Wu Sheng? Now they are using it on me.
I couldn't help but feel touched. I waved from the carriage and said, "Hi! Brothers are here!"
The people on the opposite side also cheered and waved wildly.
As Fang Zhengyi got off the car, the children on both sides of the road began to wave their bouquets of flowers.
They shouted in unison with tender childish voices: "Welcome, welcome... a warm welcome!"
A familiar feeling came over him, and Fang Zhengyi's face darkened. He yelled, "That's enough! That's enough! I didn't just crawl out of a grave!"
The roar frightened the child holding the flowers.
He burst into tears and ran around...the order at the scene was suddenly disrupted.
Hearing the familiar curse, some people couldn't help but exclaimed: "Ah! It's really the master!"
"It's him! That's how the master curses!"
"Oh, yes, it sounds kind to me. If the master scolds me again!"
Fang Zhengyi: "............"
After a long while, the crowd that came out to greet Fang Zhengyi slowly dispersed.
Fang Zheng was accompanied into the city by the acting county magistrate Ao Chen, who was originally the director of the Criminal Investigation Department and a very serious man.
Now he was smiling, holding a notebook in his hand: "Master, a lot of things happened in the county after you left, I wrote them down one by one."
"speak!"
"Half a month after you left, many young people in the county have been eager to go out and see the world. The child of the widow Wang in the east of the city sneaked out of the city in the middle of the night and was caught. His leg was broken and he is now recuperating in the hospital. Now the problem of young people wanting to run away has been solved."
“The literacy campaign is also going well. Now 70% of the people in the county are literate, and efforts are still being made to educate the remaining 30%.”
"The promotion of garbage sorting has been effective, and the problem of sewer congestion has been alleviated. However, Ankou Village to the east has been complaining that we throw too much garbage and asked for more money. We gave them an extra coin."
"The county theater recently staged a series of situational stage plays called "Birds in the Courtyard" which was well received. The box office revenue reached three hundred taels of silver last month."
Hmm? This is interesting!
Fang Zhengyi stopped and asked, "Is this something new in the county?"
Ao Chen nodded: "Yes, that's right. The young people in the county who wrote novels were beaten every day because they updated too slowly, so they changed to writing storybooks, and later they came up with this stage series."
"Interesting, is it still available today? I'll go check it out."
Ao Chen said awkwardly: "I'm afraid this won't work. Yesterday's episode was so well acted that the entire crew was sent to the hospital. They probably won't be able to come out for a while..."
"...Okay, keep talking. Don't talk about other things. Let's talk about the important things."
Ao Chen nodded and turned two pages. "The county's glass industry has made a breakthrough. The problems of impurities, bubbles and color have been solved. The glass produced now is pure and flawless. It should be able to meet your requirements."
"Now the glass of the experimental greenhouse has been completely replaced with the latest glass, and the experimental results of the greenhouse this winter should be further improved."
"The magnifying glass you requested has been produced, but many children have used it to light fires, causing three fires, but no serious damage."
"The paper mill and the textile mill have jointly produced the sanitary napkins you requested. They have now been promoted in the county and are widely praised by women... However, many people complain that the price is too high. We have ordered the factory to find a way to reduce costs while maintaining quality."
"Also, the Agriculture Department has developed new rice varieties, and the yield is expected to increase by half of the original amount."
Fang Zhengyi nodded in satisfaction: "Very good! Ao Chen, it seems that you have done a good job, and everything is on the right track."
Ao Chen smiled shyly: "Master, you are too kind."
Then Fang Zhengyi took out the penicillin notebook from his arms and said, "Master, I did some research in the capital, and it's all recorded in this notebook."
"Now that perfect glass has been produced, tell the people at the institute that different effects can be achieved by combining concave and convex lenses. Ask them to grind more lens arrangements and combinations and try to make telescopes and microscopes."
"Find another group of doctors to study the notes! This book records penicillin. We must find a way to make penicillin, regardless of the cost! Get more animals like monkeys and rabbits to test the medicine!"
Ao Chen was stunned, and slowly looked at Fang Zhengyi, his eyes full of confusion: "Master, what are telescopes and microscopes?"
