Fang Zhengyi shouted through the door: "Who is it?"
"Your humble servant Sun Sheng, requesting to see Lord Fang."
Fang Zheng said, then stood up and went to open the door.
Sun Sheng must have come to express his gratitude, and he came just in time.
When the door opened, Sun Sheng's face, which was covered with bruises, came into Fang Zheng's sight.
When the door was closed, Sun Sheng immediately bowed and said, "Your humble servant Sun Sheng, thank you Lord Fang for saving my life."
Fang Zheng poured two cups of tea, handed him one and said, "Alright, get up. Official business doesn't count as saving lives. If you have nothing else, go back."
Sun Sheng took the tea and said hesitantly with his mouth open, "Your Highness, I want to know why Lord Fang was willing to help me. Your Majesty was already furious at the time. Helping me would not do you any good... And you should know that I took office as the magistrate of Xinzhang County to oppose Kuan Shang."
The room was a little hot, so Fang Zheng opened the window and a bright moon appeared in the sky.
Fang Zhengyi looked at Mingyue, stood with his hands behind his back, and said calmly: "I am helping you out of public interest. As for the reason, I have already explained it to His Majesty, and you should have heard it."
"There are indeed many people in the court who oppose me, but so what? I never care."
"Although I have different opinions from the officials in the court, we all have the same goal: we all hope that the country will prosper and the people will live in peace."
"Only those with ill intentions are my enemies. As for you, you just made a technical mistake, which is nothing in my eyes."
“If you don’t let people make mistakes, people will never make progress.”
Sun Sheng raised his head and looked at the figure standing by the window, and he was already moved.
He had never seen such a majestic figure before...
Among all the famous scholars in the court who claimed to be upright, none of them was as broad-minded as Fang Zhengyi.
Even he spoke ill of Fang Zhengyi behind his back.
There were so many opinions and rumors in his mind, but it turned out that in his mind they were just one sentence... different paths leading to the same destination.
The pattern is completely different!
Sun Sheng bowed deeply to Fang Zhengyi's back: "Sun Sheng is ashamed. Today I know that Lord Fang has a broad mind and is a true gentleman!"
Fang Zheng couldn't hold back his laughter as he turned his back to him.
On the road!
"Gentleman? I never considered myself a gentleman. I am just on the road to becoming a gentleman."
Good! Well said!
Sun Sheng was very excited. "I came here to ask you something, Lord Fang. I was so worried on the streets that I didn't get to observe Pingwan County carefully. I have to make reforms right away after returning to Xinzhang, and I am worried... So I want to ask you again, Lord Fang, where to start."
Fang Zheng said, "Don't rush into anything. You must have confidence before doing anything. Your current state of mind is really not suitable for doing things. I know you are hit hard, but adjusting your mindset is the most urgent task."
Sun Sheng's face was filled with sorrow: "Master Fang is right. To be honest, my life has been pretty smooth... I have never encountered such a setback. Now I am panicking and I really don't know what to do."
Fang Zhengyi looked up at the bright moon and said, "The difficulties of life are like a long river that never stops flowing. Although it has the ambition to flow east to the sea, its flow is slow and the journey is difficult. However, rivers always flow into the sea, but the ambitions of life are often difficult to achieve. This is human nature."
"But we don't have to strive for perfection. Every inch of progress brings joy. As long as we try our best and have a clear conscience, that's enough."
"Your business is the people's business. I will find someone to help you." Fang Zhengyi said, turning around and saying, "The rise of Pingwan County depends on the merchants of Taoyuan County. There are still many merchants in Taoyuan County. Although Xinzhang County has a poor foundation and is very poor, it can help the people get rich. I believe that the people of Taoyuan County can still take care of the overall situation."
Sun Sheng gave him a grateful look.
Fang Zhengyi continued, "And you have two advantages right now. One is that you are adjacent to Pingwan County, so you can use Pingwan County's resources to develop yourself and attract investment. The second is your superior, Lord Yang Yingcai. You belong to him. He sold it to you today, so shouldn't he give you some compensation? You can go talk to him and ask him to help you run it. It shouldn't be a problem."
"Once you have made achievements in politics, it may not be impossible for you to return to the center in the future?"
Speaking of Yang Yingcai, Sun Sheng had a conflicted expression: "I don't want to have any relationship with Lord Yang anymore."
He is a person who has a clear distinction between love and hate, and Fang Zhengyi admires this very much.
He appreciated it in his heart, but his face was still stern: "Ridiculous! Do you think this is just your business? This is the life of the people of Xinzhang. If the people are delayed from having a good life because of face, what difference does it make whether you are an official or not?!"
After hearing this, Sun Sheng was extremely ashamed: "I am ashamed..."
Fang Zheng nodded slightly: "Well, just focus on serving the people and doing your job. I will help you. If you have any questions in the future, you can come to me."
"As for the merchants from Taoyuan County who are going to support Xinzhang...please take care of them."
Xinzhang County has a superior geographical location than Pingwan County, so there is no reason why it cannot keep up with the development.
It will take some time for the entire Hengjiang Prefecture to be opened up, but Xinzhang will be open soon!
With so many advantages, it is sure to be another huge profit.
The county's taxes should be raised this year... Fang Zhengyi's mind was busy calculating.
"I understand. Thank you, Lord Fang, for clearing up my confusion. I won't disturb your rest now."
"Yeah, yeah, keep in touch!"
......
The return convoy returned to Beijing, and Fang Zheng sent Zhang Biao back to Taoyuan County to arrange the relevant matters in Xinzhang County.
It can be said that this journey was very rewarding and everyone was greatly enlightened.
