Fang Zheng waved his hand and said, "Serve the food, but this banner can only be hung for three days at most. Do you understand?"
Zhang Laoliu smiled and said, "I know the rules! Don't worry, Master!"
"Wait a minute! Clear all the people on this floor! Arrange them all downstairs. I don't like to be disturbed while I'm eating."
Fang Zhengyi said slowly
After saying that, he gave Zhang Biao a look.
Zhang Biao immediately understood what he meant and ran to the stairs and yelled, "Master Fang will pay for all the food tonight!!!"
The guests on the second floor immediately came downstairs happily, and thunderous cheers were heard from downstairs.
Zhang Laoliu's face was filled with joy. The county magistrate's arrival really brought good news! He made money this time!
Then he was about to go downstairs happily, and when he looked up, he saw Emperor Jing and the other two still sitting in their original seats.
He flattered, "Please move aside, my two guests. Today's meal is hosted by our county magistrate. It's free."
Emperor Jing sat in his seat without saying a word.
Guo Tianyang said in a shrill voice: "It's not like we can't afford a meal! We don't need anyone to treat us!"
“This…” Zhang Laoliu looked embarrassed.
Then he gritted his teeth and whispered, "You two, if you are willing to go down to eat, I can give you another jar of wine before you leave! Do you think this is okay?"
Emperor Jing remained silent and sipped his tea quietly.
Guo Tianyang said in a low voice with a gloomy face: "Get out of here, don't disturb our master's fun!"
Zhang Laoliu was at his wit's end and looked at Fang Zhengyi for help.
Fang Zheng looked at the two people in front of him with amusement.
Then he slowly said, "Since you don't want to leave, could you two friends please have a meal together?"
Emperor Jing turned his head, smiled slightly, bowed, and walked over without any courtesy.
Guo Tianyang hurried to follow.
Zhang Laoliu also saw the opportunity and hurried downstairs.
After they sat down, Fang Zhengyi said, "You two look unfamiliar, but have you just come from out of town?"
After Emperor Jing sat down, he kept looking at Fang Zhengyi without any hesitation.
"Greetings, County Magistrate Fang. My name is Li Long, and I run a porcelain business in the capital. This is my accountant, Guo Da."
Fang Zheng felt a little uncomfortable when he was staring at him.
So he asked calmly, "What are you two doing in Taoyuan County?"
"We were going to Hengjiang Prefecture to purchase goods and passed by here on the way."
Hengjiang Prefecture? Fang Zheng became alert.
"Why do you take a detour through Taoyuan County to go to Hengjiang Prefecture? It should be much faster for you to take the official road directly from the capital, right?"
However, Guo Tianyang had already prepared an explanation, and he interrupted, "I heard that there was a landslide on the official road, and the road was blocked. We took a detour to avoid an accident, and we ended up in Taoyuan County by accident."
"So when are we leaving?"
"I'm not leaving! We see that there are so many new and interesting things in Taoyuan County. If we bring them back to the capital, it will definitely be very profitable. I wonder if County Magistrate Fang agrees?"
Fang Zheng smiled and said, "Great! Taoyuan County doesn't welcome anything except merchants."
"To be honest, the latest ceramic toilets made in Taoyuan County are absolutely amazing!"
"The shape is complex and huge. Such porcelain is the best wherever it is!"
When he heard the word toilet, Guo Tianyang's expression was as if he had eaten a fly.
"However, this product is not suitable for export. If you two have any custom requirements, we can cooperate with you!"
"We can discuss anything we like, and finally we just need to go to the county government office to sign a contract."
"Now, is there anything you like?"
Emperor Jing took a sip from the teacup and said, "I am ashamed to say that I am a little surprised when I first arrived at your precious place."
“Everything here is eye-opening to me.”
"Just talking about this tea, even the emperor in the palace can't taste it like this."
"Hmm? There's none in the capital?"
"No!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Fang Zhengyi suddenly slammed the table and stood up, his face full of indignation!
"Shut up! Mr. Li, don't speak nonsense! How dare you slander the emperor!"
"The whole world belongs to the king! How can the emperor not even drink this mere tea?"
"I recall the time when our emperor personally led the army to fight, sleeping in the open air and eating out, and only then did the world enjoy peace."
"Now that the world is stable, Your Majesty is still working hard to govern the country for the sake of the people, without slacking off for the moment."
"Without Your Majesty, there would be no Taoyuan County! Without Taoyuan County, there would be no tea!"
"But there is no tea in the capital?! I feel heartbroken when I think of this! I wish I could fly over and personally make a pot of tea for Your Majesty!"
"Even His Majesty who is far away in the capital can't drink this tea, how can I have the face to drink it! It's better not to drink this tea!"
"My emperor is wise!"
After saying that, he poured the tea directly onto the ground and sat down with a righteous look on his face.
Xiao Tao rolled her eyes behind him, as if she had used similar rhetoric when dealing with merchants from other countries in the past few years.
Fang Zhengyi even argued that this was called taking precautions before it happens. He should establish a patriotic character first, so that if he leaves Taoyuan County one day in the future, he can still guard against it!
Our patriotic heart is evident to all!
Emperor Jing was holding the teacup, his eyes twitching.
The hand was frozen in place for a moment, not knowing whether to hold it up or put it down.
Guo Tianyang was even more stunned and looked around.
Who are you talking to? Why are you acting all of a sudden?
Damn it! Fortunately Fang Zhengyi is not a eunuch! He can actually flatter someone from a distance!
Thinking of this, he glanced at Emperor Jing again and whispered, "My emperor is wise!"
Fang Zheng's ears twitched, and he said seriously, "Mr. Guo! Don't just say you love the emperor! You should always keep it in your heart like I do!"
"How many people in the court praise the emperor's wisdom, but secretly do things that go against your majesty? How are these people different from animals?"
