Five years of county magistrate, 100 million catties of grain shocked Li Shimin

Chapter 127
Early the next morning, Du Miaoyan set off.

She ordered the coachman to drive fast, and almost all the food and drink were in the car.

In the evening, when the gate of Liaozhou city was about to close, I finally arrived at Liaozhou city.

Du Miaoyan didn't go back to the Royal Firm, and directly sent the carriage to Fangfu, wanting to meet Fang Yuan first.

"Hong Xu, where is Fang Yuan?"

Du Miaoyan entered the living room, but did not see Fang Yuan.

Suddenly I felt a little lost, and the exhaustion from traveling all day slowly poured out.

"Master. It was still there just now."

Hong Xu looked around, but did not see Fang Yuan's shadow.

And just now a few people were still discussing where to go to play tomorrow?

"It was still there just now."

Du Miaoyan murmured, feeling even more disappointed in her heart.

Coming all the way, so much anticipation, so much miss, is it like this in the end?
"Miao Yan?"

At this moment, Fang Yuan's voice sounded from behind her.

Du Miaoyan's body trembled, she quickly turned around, and saw Fang Yuan who had been missing these days.

"Fang Yuan."

Du Miaoyan felt her voice tremble a little.

Missing seems to be spurting out, and the warm current flows through all parts of the body.

At this moment, Du Miaoyan wanted to fall into Fang Yuan's embrace, but her feet seemed to be rooted.

She has never felt this way about any man before. She is shy, happy, excited, afraid and so on.

"Didn't you go back to Chang'an City?"

Fang Yuan said in surprise.

When he approached Du Miaoyan, he found that there was tiredness between her brows, and he thought to himself that she came here in a hurry, right?
"Come back today."

Du Miaoyan said softly.

The loss in my heart completely disappeared.

The result is happiness and joy.

"In such a hurry?"

"What happened?"

Fang Yuan frowned slightly, said in a deep voice.

Sure enough, as he thought, Du Miaoyan was on a hurry all day.

I just don't know what happened to make her come here in such a hurry?

"No, I just want to see you."

Du Miaoyan did not hide anything.

She is shy and also scared, but inexperienced.

She didn't think about being rejected, she just wanted to tell Fang Yuan that she missed him.

After leaving Liaozhou City, she missed him every day, so she wanted to tell him.

"Stun, you can't fix me."

Fang Yuan was taken aback for a moment, then said in astonishment.

What is this called, why is it a bit like a confession?
Came here hundreds of miles, from early morning to evening, just to see him?

Hongxu and Qingyao on the side opened their mouths wide, looked at Fang Yuan, then at Du Miaoyan, their heads short-circuited for a moment.

"I just miss you."

Du Miaoyan said again.

"You, you sit down and rest first."

Fang Yuan still couldn't recover.

I always feel a little unconfident and a little illusory.

Is this a confession or an expression of longing for friends?

Fang Yuan was not sure.

You must know that the woman in front of you is not only beautiful, but also the daughter of Du Ruhui, the right servant of Shangshu.

Why do you like yourself?
Why do you like yourself?
After thinking about it, Fang Yuan denied Du Miaoyan's confession, classifying it as longing for a friend.

but,

"Sister Miaoyan, do you like my master?"

Hongxu stared at Du Miaoyan, and asked curiously and nervously.

Qing Yao is also like this, staring at Du Miaoyan closely, her face full of eagerness.

"Ah."

Du Miaoyan still did not deny it, and nodded firmly.

But his face turned red slightly, and he glanced at Fang Yuan, and found that Fang Yuan was looking at her in disbelief, subconsciously avoiding his eyes.

"Yes, is it love between men and women?"

Hongxu asked.

"Yes."

Du Miaoyan's face turned even redder.

But there is no denying either.

"Oh yeah, you are blessed, sir!"

"Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooery

Hongxu was so happy that she wanted to jump up.

Qing Yao hugged the pillow beside her and cried loudly.

The two were so excited that they wept, they could finally hope that Fangfu would have a mistress.

In the past few years, they have all been looking forward to the appearance of a woman who is worthy of their master.

Naturally, both Hongxu and Qingyao felt that they were not worthy of their master, and could not be Fang Yuan's regular wife.

But Du Miaoyan can do it, there is no problem at all, beauty and wisdom coexist, and she is from a top wealthy family.

"This time I really can't fix it."

Fang Yuan felt a little confused.

This confession came too suddenly, without any preparation.

"I have no other meaning, just want to tell you that I want to see you."

Du Miaoyan explained with a blushing face.

This was what she thought at the beginning, but after she finished speaking, she herself couldn't believe it.

"That's good."

Fang Yuan nodded slightly.

For a moment, he didn't know how to respond to Du Miaoyan.

It was so sudden, it was a little unexpected, and it didn't feel real.

Fortunately, at this time Xue Jiaoyan came out and told Fang Yuan and the others that it was time to eat.

"You, you haven't eaten, have you?"

Fang Yuan immediately got up and was about to leave.

However, after taking two steps, he still looked back at Du Miaoyan and said.

"Not yet, I'm on my way today."

Du Miaoyan shook her head and smiled.

"Let's go together then."

Fang Yuan dropped a word and left quickly.

"Let's go together, let's go together."

Hongxu and Qingyao surrounded Du Miaoyan, one on the left and one on the right, laughing.

"What happened?"

Xue Jiaoyan asked curiously.

A small mind is a big question.

But unfortunately, no one replied to her, Hongxu and Qingyao were busy trying to curry favor with Du Miaoyan.

On the round dining table, Fang Yuan and Juzi had already sat down, Du Miaoyan was supported by Hong Xu and Qing Yao.

"Sit here, sit here."

Hong Xu and Qing Yao pushed Du Miaoyan to sit next to Fang Yuan.

Fang Yuan ignored it, but felt a little uncomfortable, his heartbeat accelerated slightly.

"What's the matter with you two?"

"Don't you usually compete to sit next to Fang Yuan?"

The giant asked puzzledly.

At the dinner table, Fang Yuan sat on the main seat, he was asked by Fang Yuan to sit on the left, so Fang Yuan was left on the right.

Then Hongxu and Qingyao had to fight without eating, and sometimes it felt like they were going to fight.

However, Hongxu wins almost every time. She is more lively and grabs the position quickly.

"What do you know, giant, sister Miaoyan may be the mistress of the Fang family in the future."

Hongxu rolled her eyes and said to Juzi.

"Oh?"

"Really?"

The giant suddenly became interested.

Looking at Fang Yuan and Du Miaoyan curiously.

"Cough, don't listen to Hong Xu's nonsense, eat."

Fang Yuan coughed dryly, and said with a straight face.

Everyone ate one after another, during the meal you chatted with Du Miaoyan around Fang Yuan and Du Miaoyan, making Fang Yuan feel uncomfortable, he left the table after eating.

Du Miaoyan also gradually felt embarrassed, and found a reason to go back to the Royal Firm after eating.

The next day, Fang Yuan didn't go to play, and got to know the mechanisms inside with Juzi in the ninth floor Observatory.

At noon, Du Miaoyan came once and left after seeing that Fang Yuan was not free.

One day passed like this, Fang Yuan's three-day vacation was officially over.

After the Shangyuan Festival, the State Academy will open soon, and many students have already signed up.

On this day, Zhang Ji asked to see him and brought thirteen students who were dressed in ordinary clothes.

Zhang Ji's image has changed a lot since we met last time.

Although still limping, the whole person looks much more energetic.

I don't know if it's an illusion, but I feel that Zhang Jibai has done a lot in such a short time.

"Meet Zhou Zun!"

Zhang Ji saluted Fang Yuan.

The students behind him also saluted.

"All free!"

"Zhang Ji, you did a good job promoting it!"

Fang Yuan laughed.

It has not been a month since Zhang Ji started promoting, and 58 people have already signed up.

58 people is already quite a lot. In the second year of Zhenguan, there were only 57 candidates in Liaozhou who signed up for the imperial examination.

"Craftsman dare not be, it all depends on the state's respect for the imperial examination."

Zhang Ji didn't dare to claim credit.

He is trying his best to promote it, but it is not all his credit.

Fang Yuan personally went to Pingcheng County to ask Xiao Ai grandly. He already knew about it, he was deeply moved, and thought that Fang Yuan valued the imperial examination.

"You are also indebted."

"What do you mean by looking for this officer this time?"

Fang Yuan laughed.

He looked at the thirteen students behind Zhang Ji.

Judging by their clothes, the clothes turned white after washing, one can tell that the family is not well off.

If I guessed right, they should be borrowing money to study, and they are the first batch.

"Zhou Zun, these Liaozhou students have no money to study for various reasons, and they are too embarrassed to come, so the grass-roots brought them here to borrow money."

Zhang Ji replied truthfully.

The thirteen students behind them immediately lowered their heads in shame.

Borrowing money to study makes them feel ashamed and ashamed to face their classmates.

"Why are you still embarrassed?"

"It's embarrassing to borrow money to study, to be able to have books to read, to be named on the gold list, and to honor your ancestors?"

Fang Yuan frowned slightly, dissatisfied with the mental state of these students.

Seeing these students, Fang Yuan seemed to understand why no students came to borrow money to study before this.

If they are all like them, then what's the point of borrowing money to study, isn't such a good policy wasted?

"I'm afraid of being laughed at by my classmates, I'm afraid of being ashamed of my expectations for Zhou Zun, and I'm afraid that my hard work will end in vain."

A young student whispered.

The other students lowered their heads even more, and felt the same way.

"Borrowing money is not a humble thing, borrowing money and not repaying it is the reason for being laughed at."

"People are not gods, not sages, there will always be times of difficulty, and there will always be times when others need help."

"I am willing to help you because I think you can do it, and that your future is unlimited, not because you are worried that your efforts will be empty before you try."

Fang Yuan pondered for a moment, said in a deep voice.

It can be helpful to think about worrying about being ashamed of yourself.

Otherwise Fang Yuan would drive them away directly, not bothering to give them a chance.

"The state respects righteousness, if Ge You is a reborn parent, please be respected by Ge You!"

After the student who spoke just now listened to Fang Yuan's words, his body trembled uncontrollably.

Then he took a step forward, respectfully saluted Fang Yuan, and bent directly to more than ninety degrees.

"Please respect the state, please wait for me to pay respects!"

Other students saluted Fang Yuan one after another.

Zhang Ji stood aside, full of sighs.

Zhou Zun is Zhou Zun, one or two words can win him a few days of lobbying.

He also said similar things to these students, but they didn't seem to listen.

Sure enough, Zhou Zun's words are more practical.

"No need to say thank you."

"I hope you will study hard and live up to your youth and yourself."

Fang Yuan nodded in satisfaction, said calmly.

They are all lovely students.

In the future, he might be his helper in officialdom.

Naturally, Fang Yuan lent money to them to study, not for public welfare.

"Live up to your youth, live up to your own students, and follow the teachings of Zhou Zun!"

Ge You and the others muttered, their eyes gradually brightened.

Zhang Ji also tasted this sentence, his eyes became brighter.

"Liu Sihu, sign a loan agreement with all the students."

Fang Yuan shouted to the side office area.

After a while, Sihu Liu Wenshi walked out with a batch of contracts.

"Come here, let's talk in the conference room."

"Get these contracts first. After confirming that there is no problem, write down the money you want to borrow, and then sign and pledge. Yes, the contract is for one year. If you need it in the next year, you can borrow it in the next year."

Liu Wenshi said as he walked, and finally the door of the conference room was closed, and there was no more sound coming out.

"Congratulations to Zhou Zun, the State Academy has gained [-] more students."

Zhang Ji congratulated Fang Yuan.

"Zhang Ji, Zhang Ji, are you congratulating me, or reminding me of your achievements?"

Fang Yuan looked at Zhang Ji with a half-smile and said.

"No, no, Cao Min didn't mean to remind Zhou Zun."

Zhang Ji was taken aback, and explained again and again.

His legs were bad, and he almost fell in a hurry.

"Okay, don't be nervous, I didn't blame you, this time it is indeed your credit."

Fang Yuan laughed.

This time the thirteen students borrow money to study, I believe it will play a great role in motivating.

Those students who are afraid or embarrassed to borrow money, I believe they will soon go to the state government to borrow money.

"Zhou Zhou, Caomin thinks that these thirteen students borrow money to study should be publicized."

"Let those students who want to study but can't afford to borrow money know that there is no shame in borrowing money to study."

Zhang Ji suggested.

"It's a good idea, but it's unnecessary."

Fang Yuan pondered for a moment, shook his head and said.

"Ah? Why?"

Zhang Ji was puzzled and said in surprise.

He felt that if it was publicized this time, it would definitely attract many students.

"They study not for their own officials, but for themselves."

"I am willing to give them a chance, but they can't lose face, so don't read it."

Fang Yuan said in a deep voice.

Scholars are thin-skinned and love face-saving, Fang Yuan has heard of these things a little.

But it depends on the situation, some can be tolerated, and some can't.

For example, Xiao Ai is only willing to come if he invites him personally. That's fine, he is a talent, and he also needs a teacher.

But what about these students?

All for their good policy.

It's fine if they don't cherish it, but excessive comity makes them proud.

Fang Yuan hoped that more students would come to borrow money to study, but he was not begging them to come.

"But."

Zhang Ji wanted to say something else.

He hopes that more students can have books to read.

The state court is definitely different from the small book hall. You can learn more things, and the imperial examination is more sure.

"Don't worry about it, prepare for the opening of the State House in five days."

"By the way, what do you think, do you want to stay in the state capital for a civil job or listen to other arrangements made by me?"

Fang Yuan interrupted Zhang Ji but said.

"Caomin, Caomin wants to take the imperial examination again."

Zhang Ji's expression turned pale, he gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice.

"Zhang Ji, are you not joking with me?"

Fang Yuan frowned and said.

The imperial court's four talents and three reals completely cut off Zhang Ji's way.

"Zhou Zun, Caomin's leg can be saved after half a year of serious treatment."

"My hair. I'll try to adjust the hairstyle to see if I can pass the test, please Zhou Zun!"

Zhang Ji pondered for a moment and begged.

Eighteen years of cold windows, full of hardships and tears.

Don't fight again, Zhang Ji will not rest in peace.

"Go and borrow money."

Fang Yuan stared deeply at Zhang Ji for a long time, and then slowly opened his mouth.

He is a ruthless person who doesn't hit the south wall and doesn't look back, let him go, the sail of life should be in his own hands.

"Xie Zhouzun."

Zhang Ji respectfully saluted Fang Yuan.

Then he dragged his lame legs to the meeting room.

The curtain on his back seemed unusually firm.

After five days in a row, the state court finally came to the opening day.

In the past five days, students have signed up one after another, and some have come to borrow money to study.

By the deadline for registration, the number of people was as high as 150, three times more than last year.

For Liaozhou, this is a grand news that shocked the people of the entire Liaozhou city.

The location of the State House is very close to the location of the Governor's Mansion, just opposite the Royal Chamber of Commerce.

So Du Miaoyan brought her maid to attend the opening ceremony.

There were many people, and many families in the city came to participate.

The state courtyard has a new look, and many new benches have been added.

At this time, Fang Yuan, Du Miaoyan and Liaozhou senior officials stood in the front row.

Teachers represented by Xiao Ai stood in the second row.

Students represented by Zhang Ji stood in the third row.

At the door are the people of Liaozhou and so on.

There are also gongs, drums, lion dances, etc. opening at any time.

Many people don't know Du Miaoyan, and they are curious about Du Miaoyan's identity.

But Fang Yuan didn't explain, so they didn't know Du Miaoyan's identity, so they could only guess.

Some thought that Du Miaoyan was a noble daughter of a court minister, and some thought it was Fang Yuan's fiancée, each had their own guesses.

"Fang Yuan, why can't you start?"

Du Miaoyan asked in a low voice.

She remembered that the auspicious time was Si time, and the weather should be about the same or over at the scene.

"Wen Sigong, why haven't you started yet?"

Fang Yuan frowned, and asked Wang Wenshu beside him.

"It's urgent, Zhou Zun wait a moment."

Wang Wenshu said in a low voice.

"Are you urging?"

"Who else is missing?"

Fang Yuan frowned slightly.

Officials from Liaozhou were present at the scene, as were the magistrates of the three counties.

There are also 150 teachers and [-] students.

Who else is missing?
Who has such a big face?
"Liu Yongshou hasn't come yet."

"The subordinate officer has urged him three times."

Wang Wenshu said in embarrassment with an ugly face.

"He must come over for the opening of the state court?!"

Fang Yuan's eyes turned cold, he said in a deep voice.

Why did it involve the three tribes in Hedong again?

"This is Master Xiao's request."

Wang Wenshu said awkwardly.

"Zhou Zun, the Liu family in Xie County is the representative of literati and scholars, and it is the belief of our Wendong scholars. The opening of our state court requires their participation. If Liu family does not nod, our state court will not be able to open."

Xiao Ai noticed the conversation of Fang Yuan and others.

Seeing Fang Yuan frowning slightly looking at him, he hurriedly stepped forward to explain.

"Why doesn't this officer know that there are such regulations?"

Fang Yuan said in a deep voice.

"It's a rule of no fame."

"The state courts of Bingzhou and Puzhou are presided over by the Liu family of Xie County, and the presidents of the two state courts are all from the Liu family of Xie County."

Xiao Ai explained.

Seeing that Fang Yuan was still sullen, he explained one more sentence.

"Just now you said you urged me three times?"

Fang Yuan looked at Wang Wenshu and said.

"Yes, an invitation letter was sent out before that."

Wang Wenshu already sensed that Fang Yuan was unhappy, he didn't dare to hide anything, and he didn't want to get angry.

"Dragging, don't wait, let's start!"

Fang Yuan's expression darkened, he said coldly.

Invited in advance, and urged three times but did not come, it must be intentional.

At this time, they continued to wait for the Liu family of Xie County, as if they couldn't do without them, which fueled their arrogance.

"Zhou Zun, absolutely not."

"If the Liu family in Xie County is not here, it will have a great impact later on."

Xiao Ai was taken aback, and quickly persuaded.

"Zhou Zhou, let's wait."

When the other teachers learned about what happened here, they also persuaded them one after another.

"What's the impact?"

Fang Yuan frowned deeper.

"We will be told that we have no etiquette, that we are not orthodox."

"The master will be unsteady in teaching, and the students will be uneasy in learning."

Xiao Ai explained.

"Without Xiexian Liu's nod, is it not orthodox?"

"I am the governor of Liaozhou, and the state court opened by me still needs them to recognize it as orthodox?"

Fang Yuan laughed angrily.

I like to hear that the Pei clan, the Xue clan in Fenyin, and the Liu clan in Xie County, the three clans of Hedong are really domineering one by one.

In addition to Xiwen Pei's family, the Xue family in Fenyin and the Liu family in Xie County have one Wu and one Wen. Isn't it necessary to control the entire Eighteen Prefectures of Hedong Road?
"Zhou Zun, wait a little longer."

Xiao Ai and the others did not answer.

But their meaning is already obvious.

"Nonsense, I don't need their recognition for the official's state house, open!"

Fang Yuan snorted coldly, said in a deep voice.

Xiao Ai and others wanted to persuade them, but Fang Yuan ignored them.

With Fang Yuan's order, the opening of the State Court officially began, and the ceremonial team beat gongs and drums to officially confirm the opening of the State House.

It was supposed to be a very happy event, but the fifteen teachers couldn't be happy, and they were full of sorrow, which undoubtedly offended the Liu family of Jiaxie County.

The branch of the Liu family in Jiexian County in Liaozhou City.

Liu Yongshou, Xue Wenbo, and the new Xiwen Pei Yonghan, the representative of the Pei family, drank tea together.

"Mr. Liu is not going to preside over the opening of the state court?"

"This is also a good thing for us in Hedong."

Pei Yonghan looked at Liu Yongshou with a half-smile and said.

This is a young man about the same age as Fang Yuan, Yushu Linfeng, but the two eyebrows are a bit thick, which affects the overall image.

"Let them wait, and they won't dare to do anything."

Liu Yongshou laughed.

Youzai leisurely sipping tea.

Yes, Liu Yongshou was late on purpose.

Fang Yuan's arrogance in Liaozhou City was too arrogant, he even dared to kill Pei Yinghua, what face would there be if he didn't hit them old guys.

"Hehe, don't you worry about Fang Yuan waiting?"

Pei Yonghan still said with a half-smile.

"It's okay, don't wait for the old man to have an excuse to say that he is not."

Liu Yongshou shook his head and said.

He has long been dissatisfied with Fang Yuan.

But there has been no excuse to shoot.

If you don't wait for yourself, there is even more reason to make a move.

But Fang Yuan was barbaric, and he didn't dare confront the scholar.

"Scholars are really insidious."

"If you want to go or not, pretend to be reserved."

Xue Wenbo couldn't see it, and sneered.

This small gathering really shouldn't come, it's the face of a scholar again.

"What do you know, you are just a brainless martial artist."

Liu Yongshou was immediately enraged, and stared at Xue Wenbo fiercely.

Can the calmness of a scholar be called insidious? What a brainless warrior.

"Say it again, believe it or not, I'll kill you with one punch?"

Xue Wenbo directly raised his fist and said.

"Hmph, Wufu, I don't care about you."

Liu Yongshou snorted coldly.

At this time, the housekeeper came in and whispered in Liu Yongshou's ear.

Liu Yongshou kept saying that he didn't care about the opening of the state capital, but when he learned that the opening of the state capital really didn't call him, his face sank immediately.

"I'm really convinced by the hypocrisy of you scholars. You obviously care about it, but you say it's okay."

Xue Wenbo felt that he and scholars like Liu Yongshou had nothing to talk about and wanted to leave.

He heard what Butler Liu Yongshou said, and the Liaozhou State Court opened.

Pei Yonghan didn't speak, but looked at Liu Yongshou with a half-smile.

　Thank you losai98 gold master dad for rewarding 1500 starting coins, this is the first time I have received so much money, thank you Lao Zhou, I love you so much.
