Everyone laughed after hearing this.
This businessman is not ordinary. He speaks in his own way.
Emperor Jing was surprised and asked, "I know you are signing and selling books. What books are you selling?"
"This is a business guide written by a humble commoner. It is so ugly that it makes Your Majesty laugh." Liu Zhongshun said ashamedly.
"Hmm, interesting. It seems that you are also a well-read person. You can even write and publish a book. What is the content of the book? Do you still have the book?"
Liu Zhongshun said hesitantly: "Books... I have sold them half and gave them away half, and I plan to donate the money I earned... to the elderly and widows."
"As for the content, it is just some of my humble experience. In short, it is..."
"Businessmen must integrate their personal ideals and pursuits into the prosperity of their country and family. Excellent businessmen must have a lofty sense of mission and a strong sense of responsibility for the nation. This is the way to do business forever."
All the ministers lowered their heads and whispered, praising him repeatedly.
This is a righteous businessman!
If there were such merchants everywhere in the world, would there be any need to restrict them?
Yang Fengfan said at the right time: "Your Majesty, you may not know that a lot of the business in this city is actually brought in by merchants from Taoyuan County."
"The merchants from Taoyuan County were the first to settle in the county. They worked tirelessly, were honest and reliable, and were well-known in Pingwan County. Everyone called the merchants from Taoyuan County the Taoyuan Merchants Gang."
"The Taoyuan merchants value credibility very much and are very careful when negotiating business deals. However, if a deal is successful, the rest of the process will usually go very smoothly. I have never heard of any delays in payment for goods."
Fang Zheng felt very happy when he heard this. What Yang Fengfan said was true. Many of the merchants in Taoyuan County were trained by him personally.
Everyone can deeply understand and practice the spirit of the contract, and partners who do not abide by the contract can be vigorously educated so that they can fully understand the consequences of not abiding by the contract both physically and mentally.
He was also the one who sent this group of merchants from Pingwan County here, and it seems they are doing a really good job.
Yang Fengfan continued: "Not only that, they are very eager to pay taxes and their accounts are very clear, which is extremely rare. It can be said that the Taoyuan business group has been of great help to Pingwan County."
Emperor Jing sighed, "I never expected that merchants would have such sentiments. It really broadens my horizons."
"Liu Zhongshun, you did a great job."
Liu Zhongshun was flattered: "I just want to do my duty."
Emperor Jing smiled and said, "Don't be modest. Just keep doing it."
After saying that, he waved to Yang Fengfan, signaling him to continue moving forward.
Emperor Jing and his companions walked in front. Fang Zhengyi pulled Liu Zhongshun at the end of the team and asked, "How much money did you make here?"
Liu Zhongshun smiled bitterly: "Master, I really didn't make any money! I still owe the county a lot of debt!"
"I heard there's a business opportunity here. I borrowed a large sum of money to come here and buy land... I exchanged all the money from selling books for land."
"I am a pauper now, and I am living a life of luxury with this name."
"You are the only one who is smart!" Fang Zheng said with a smile.
Liu Zhongshun chuckled and smacked his lips, saying, "But you know what, the money here is much easier to make than in our county. The people there are like leeks, and they are constantly being harvested! It's impossible to stop them. I'm thinking of going back and finding a few more people to make some money here... and then sell them at a high price when we have more land."
Fang Zheng looked around and saw that no one was paying attention, so he frowned and said, "What are you talking about! What do you mean by the people are like leeks? Be careful what you say outside!"
Comparing people to leeks, isn’t that a fucking insult to leeks?
They are not leeks, but leek greens. They grow in jars all their lives and don't even have the right to lie flat. They cannot get sunlight, have never seen the world, and have poor physical fitness. They will be killed the day the lid is opened.
The most important thing is that they are not only innocent but also like to do dirty things! How can they be like leeks?
Chives are coming
This is really the biggest insult to leeks.
Liu Zhongshun responded with a dry laugh.
Fang Zhengyi added: "There are indeed many business opportunities here, but outsiders are not stupid. The cost of your land is too high. Go back to the county and find more people to settle in another place."
"Where is the village?"
"Xinzhang County."
"I understand, sir. I'll go back first..."
Liu Zhongshun left Fang Zhengyi excitedly without thinking about why he had to go to Xinzhang County to settle down.
What's there to think about? Everyone will cheat him anyway, but Master Fang will never cheat him. Just be obedient!
.....
After two incense sticks of time, everyone arrived at the gate of the newly built academy, and the idle people around had already been cleared out in advance.
This academy covers a large area, with a wide and imposing gate. The sign on the gate is covered with red cloth. The two plaques on the left and right, where poems and couplets should be written, are still empty. As for the steps below, they are also built in an exceptionally grand manner.
Emperor Jing and Fang Zhengyi had already seen this place when they were wandering around Pingwan County, but they just didn't know what the building was used for.
The ministers were amazed at what they saw. Not to mention what was inside, this school was built with great care.
The fact that a school built just for children can be of such a standard is enough to show how wealthy Pingwan County is!
At this moment, outside the door, the yamen runners gathered and lined up on both sides, with something similar to a small cannon placed in front of them, facing the sky at a 45-degree angle.
Emperor Jing asked, "What are they doing?"
Yang Fengfan bowed slightly and said, "These are some gifts I prepared. Originally, the school was to be officially unveiled in two days, but I didn't expect that Your Majesty would come today, so I dared to ask Your Majesty to personally preside over the opening ceremony of the school. This is also to pray for the blessing of future students."
I see.
Emperor Jing raised his hand and said with a smile: "Okay! Then I will personally preside over it. Let's get started!"
Yang Fengfan was overjoyed. He first looked at Fang Zhengyi with gratitude and then raised his right hand high: "Start! Fire!"
As soon as the word "fire the cannon" was uttered, Emperor Jing and his ministers all felt nervous!
The row of pipes at the entrance of the academy are actually cannons?
However, since the muzzle of the gun was not pointed at anyone, everyone was not too panicked.
I saw the yamen runners lighting the paper fireworks, and the next second I heard a series of bang bang bang noises!
The colored paper bags that had been buried in the barrel were blown up into the sky, and then fell slowly down in pieces.
A large number of densely packed colorful pieces of paper swirl in the air...
The whole scene was both novel and extremely beautiful.
Emperor Jing couldn't help but grin, and his ministers couldn't help but smile and reach out to take it.
There was great harmony for a moment...except for Sun Sheng who had a sad face.
He just felt like every piece of paper was mocking him.
When the rain of paper flowers had completely fallen, leaving the ground covered with colorful flowers, Emperor Jing exclaimed: "Yang Qing, this is really ingenious. Who came up with this idea?"
Without waiting for Yang Fengfan to speak, the ministers turned their eyes to Fang Zhengyi.
There is only one truth that can make such a cool thing!!
Seeing the approval from the audience, Fang Zheng smiled shyly.
