Xie Xian was horrified: "What! Master, you were demoted? Did our secret get exposed and implicate you?"
Fang Zhengyi smiled faintly: "Being demoted to the position of Jianjiang Tongpan, of course it has something to do with you!"
"Who told you to steal food and start a cult? I was afraid that something might happen to you, so I rushed to get food in the capital and offended many people!"
"Things are different now. I work for the emperor. Even if you stole from a rich and unkind man, even if the whole Jianjiang Prefecture is corrupt."
"But what you did is called rebellion!"
Fang Zhengyi's voice became louder: "Rebellion! Do you understand?"
"As soon as I entered the capital, the whole court disliked me. You guys are using this as a big handle against me! Do you want me to die? After I die, will you take over Taoyuan County?"
Even if I jump again in the capital! As long as I don't touch the emperor's bottom line, I can do whatever I want!
After all, the value of himself and Taoyuan County is great enough, and gunpowder is still under research. Emperor Jing values this thing more than anything else.
But rebellion had never been an exception, and Emperor Jing was a horse-riding emperor in his prime.
You can despise the ministers, but it would be really stupid to despise the imperial power.
"You still dare to run a cult! Five thousand five hundred people! Can you control them? Once these people run out of food and become extremely hungry, they will be traitors!!"
Shen Zhaoxuan's face was pale, and his lips moved slightly as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't dare to open his mouth.
The house was dead silent.
Xie Xian said ashamedly: "Master... I had asked him to disband the Freedom Sect half a month ago. Now he is really unable to control himself... Give us some time."
Shen Zhaoxuan stammered, "Yes... the people below are a little out of control, Master, give me some more time..."
Fang Zhengyi sneered, "Give you some time? You want to take down Jianjiang?"
"Go! Invite those who are out of control to come out, gather the believers together, and prepare some food and wine in front of them! Serve those troublemakers with delicious food and drinks!"
Shen Zhaoxuan's eyes lit up!
Yes! To sow discord.
If there is any loss, it should be the master. He took away all the bamboo shoots in Taoyuan County.
"Okay! I'll do it right away!" After saying that, Shen Zhaoxuan ran out in a hurry.
"Wait a minute! You can go after the meeting."
Shen Zhaoxuan sat back down after hearing this.
Xie Xian said anxiously: "Master, shall we go back?"
Fang Zhengyi leaned back in his chair, smiling again. "Don't be nervous. Of course, I also want to help with disaster relief. Now that we're here, let's do our best."
"I have collected a batch of grain in the capital, nearly 20,000 shi, which should have been delivered to Jianjiang Prefecture a few days ago. Have you heard the news?"
Xie Xian shook his head and said blankly: "I don't know. There is no news about the delivery of food in the city."
"Also... the porridge at the soup kitchen outside the city is getting thinner and thinner. I heard that nearly a hundred people starved to death in the past month."
"Okay... got it." Fang Zhengyi didn't ask any more questions.
It is not enough to just listen to what our own people say about the local situation. We also need to go to the government to find out more. I will talk about it when I take office in two days.
"Master, I brought a hundred stones of sweet potatoes with me when I came from Beijing. There are too many people at the port, so I will arrive a little later if I take the land route."
"Xie Xian, send someone to a place called Feng Village later to wait for support. We haven't decided whether to plant or eat these sweet potatoes yet, so we should arrange for them properly first."
"Take advantage of the drop in land prices during this period to buy more land in Jianjiang!"
"Also, don't start stealing the food yet. Wait for me to make the arrangements."
Fang Zheng closed his eyes and planned in his mind.
"There shouldn't be anything else to worry about! From now on, I will be the only one living in this house, and the rest of you can find your own places to stay."
"If anything happens, let's gather at the pleasure boat. Bai Rui, follow me."
After saying that, Fang Zheng walked away with his hands behind his back, and Bai Rui quickly followed him.
The rest of the people looked at each other.
"So what are we going to do?"
Xie Xian smiled and said, "Just do what you need to do. It seems that the master is quite satisfied with us!"
"It's alright, just go away."
Zhou Tie chuckled: "Zhang Biao didn't come! Then I have to protect the master!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Biao's voice could be heard in the yard: "Brothers are all here! Damn, this place is so hard to find!"
Zhou Tie's face quickly sank.
When everyone saw Zhang Biao and others, they greeted them.
"Hey, Lao Qi, Master Wu is here too? Why did he bring a monk with him?"
Lian Gui laughed widely: "Brother Biao! Zhou Tie has learned a new sword technique! He can take your head with three strikes!"
"Why don't you try to compete with him?"
“Oh!?” Zhang Biao's eyes lit up, he trotted to Zhou Tie and patted him on the shoulder.
"I didn't expect you to have improved. Come on! Let's have a competition!"
After saying that, Zhang Biao threw off his clothes, revealing his naked upper body, and walked into the yard.
The shirt filled with hidden weapons fell to the ground with a bang.
Zhou Tie also shuddered all over and turned back to glance at Zhang Biao secretly.
Seeing that he was unarmed, he gritted his teeth and walked over with a knife.
Everyone shook their heads upon seeing this.
Too bad! He even held a knife. How bad is that?
Zhang Biao didn't care when he saw him coming over with a knife. He laughed and said, "Okay, I'll let you use a knife. Come on!"
"Do you dare to let me have a hand?" Zhou Tie shouted shamelessly.
The people around burst into laughter instantly.
"You have no shame at all! You are holding a knife and I still let you use one hand?"
Zhou Tie's face flushed red as he shouted, "Don't laugh! Don't laugh! What do you know? I'm not well yet!"
Zhang Biao put his hand behind his back with an impatient look on his face: "Hurry up, do you want to fight or not?"
Zhou Tie immediately became serious upon hearing this, holding a knife and standing up: "Oh, don't say I'm bullying you, I've just created a set of knife skills, I can take your head in three moves!"
"I'll count to three and we'll start right away."
Zhang Biao nodded helplessly, you kid are such a fucking slow-witted guy!
"Three!" Zhou Tie roared and rushed forward.
The people around were stunned! This guy really didn't care about his shame in order to win!
But before everyone could condemn him, the battle was over.
Zhou Tie rushed forward with his sword wielding in a fancy way, and Zhang Biao kicked out, stirring up dust all over the ground.
In the smoke and dust, Zhou Tie wailed, "My eyes!" and then flew onto the wall.
Zhang Biao walked out slowly in the dust, brushed off the dirt on his pants, and said with disdain, "Too weak, worse than before."
Everyone swallowed and looked at Zhou Tie.
Zhou Tie covered his stomach with one hand and stood up with the help of the wall, still shouting weakly: "Despicable villain... cough... country bumpkin's fighting style... wait until I recover... cough!"
Everyone looked at him with contempt, without saying a word, and gathered around Wu Sheng and the others...

Seriously!
