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

Chapter 141 The mockery from the river states

Sure enough, the transportation of copper coins has become a problem that restricts development.

If it weren't for the excessive transaction amount and the difficulty in transporting copper coins, there would be no treaty of compensation for delay.

The promotion of banknotes is imperative. In the future, let the Mohist Research Institute start making money according to the plan discussed before, and the bank should also open.

"Fang Yuan, did something happen?"

Du Miaoyan asked worriedly.

Seeing that Fang Yuan's complexion was bad a few times, she didn't dare to disturb him.

But seeing Fang Yuan being silent for so long, he couldn't bear it, and wanted to see if he could help.

"I was tricked by the governor of Xinzhou."

Fang Yuan has almost recovered his calm.

Back to sitting on the coffee table, thinking about countermeasures.

The red brick contract with the governor of Xinzhou is worth six hundred guan, and the compensation is only six guan.

But it's not just about compensation!
Since the other party did this, they must have come prepared to deliberately smear their reputation.

Now is the time to promote various products. If the reputation is bad, it may become difficult to promote later.

"hateful!"

"The governor of Bingzhou must be playing tricks in the dark!"

Du Miaoyan could hear the connection as soon as she heard it.

Without the consent of the governor of Bingzhou, Leping County would not dare to do this.

After all, Fang Yuan here represents the state capital, and he is just a county government office.

"No one but him."

Fang Yuan said coldly.

I don't know if there are other states besides Xinzhou.

If Xinzhou's freight fails to pass, similar problems may occur in other states.

Therefore, don't think about the issue of delayed compensation, but think about how to deliver the goods on schedule.

Just how to do it?

Fang Yuan had a headache for a while.

Du Miaoyan on the side also frowned and thought.

"I have a way!"

Wang Shiyu said suddenly.

When Fang Yuan heard it, he looked at Wang Shiyu in surprise.

"any solution?"

Du Miaoyan asked proactively.

Also somewhat surprised that Wang Shiyu would take the initiative to help Fang Yuan.

Because of the matter of the Wang family father and son, although Wang Shiyu and Fang Yuan did not completely quarrel, their relationship is no longer as good as before, they are no longer friends, but they have not yet become enemies.

"My Jinyang Wang family is in Bingzhou, and it is also one of the most famous families."

"If my Wang family speaks, your goods will definitely pass through Bingzhou and be sent to Xinzhou."

Wang Shiyu said with a little pride.

The Wang family of Jinyang has a great reputation in Bingzhou, even more powerful than the Xiwen Pei family.

It is an important branch of the Taiyuan Wang family, with relationships all over the Tang Dynasty, a real top family.

"What conditions?"

Fang Yuan frowned slightly.

If Jinyang Wang is willing to help, then there must be no problem.

But I and Wang are already in an antagonistic relationship, and I am afraid it will not be that simple if I want the other party to help.

"Let the father and son of the Wang family go!"

Wang Shiyu took a deep breath and said in a deep voice.

"They have been sentenced to death and I have no right to release them!"

Fang Yuan shook his head, said in a deep voice.

The Wang family father and son are still alive and are now being held in state prison.

Wang Chengzhe was the county magistrate and was involved in rebellion, Fang Yuan had to report to the court before he could be beheaded.

Before Su Chen took over as the magistrate of Liaoshan County, the imperial court had already issued a document to resign Wang Chengzhe as county magistrate and behead him after autumn.

Most of the official beheadings in the Tang Dynasty were performed after autumn. It has become a tradition to pay attention to spring for celebration, summer for reward, autumn for punishment and winter for punishment.

"We can reverse the case!"

Wang Shiyu's face darkened, and he said seriously.

She came to find Fang Yuan in a hurry after Yuan Festival, just to settle this account.

"The whole Liaozhou, the whole court knows about it, how to reverse the case?"

Fang Yuan shook his head and said.

"As long as you want, we can fake it!"

Wang Shiyu looked around and whispered.

This is not a big problem, as long as there are multiple parties agreeing.

Liaozhou is high and the emperor is far away, and the ministers of the court will not stare at the Wang family and his son.

She can contact Wang Gui for help, and Fang Yuan can find other people to take the blame.

"impossible."

Fang Yuan directly refused.

The cost of reversing this crime is too high.

And it's not overturning the case, or falsification, that's even more impossible.

"Fang Yuan, the Wang family father and son are not a threat to you at all, and now they still have value."

"Let them live, and I'll help you transport the goods to Xinzhou, why not do it?"

Wang Shiyu was a little anxious and said angrily.

Wang family father and son are kind to her, she sincerely hopes that Fang Yuan can let them go.

If she doesn't help, then no one else will help. The Wang family of Taiyuan doesn't care much about the Wang family of Liaoshan.

For the Taiyuan Wang family, the Liaoshan Wang family is dispensable. If it wasn't for the sake of face, they might not even pay attention, let alone rescue the Wang family father and son.

"You're right, but they're not worth the price."

Fang Yuan shook his head and said.

"I"

Wang Shiyu suddenly became angry.

He looked at Fang Yuan deeply.

She once thought that Fang Yuan would cherish her reputation very much, or would be willing to cooperate with her.

But now it seems that he thinks too much, Fang Yuan doesn't cherish his reputation very much.

"Shiyu, don't embarrass Fang Yuan."

Du Miaoyan sighed beside her.

Not to mention Fang Yuan, even she would not agree.

The Wang family's father and son were involved in rebellion, which is not an ordinary crime, and it is difficult to fake it.

If you are a little careless, you may be caught, and losing your official position is a trivial matter.

"I, I can still tell you a big secret, about the hidden treasure of the crown prince."

Wang Shiyu gritted her teeth, not wanting to give up, she whispered.

"Hidden Prince's Treasure?"

Fang Yuan said in surprise.

Du Miaoyan at the side was also very surprised.

Obviously, neither of them has heard that Prince Yin has a treasure.

But it is not unacceptable if Prince Shi Yin has treasures.

After all, the hidden prince Li Jiancheng was the prince during the reign of Wude, so it is normal to have treasures.

"How? Do you want to hear it?"

"Maybe you are the owners of the treasure!"

"Let me tell you, there are no more than ten people who know the treasure of Prince Yin."

Wang Shiyu said in a low voice with a dignified expression.

At the same time, he looked at Fang Yuan with expectant eyes.

Hiding the prince's treasure is a big secret, she wants to make a deal with Fang Yuan.

It doesn't matter if Du Miaoyan is on the side, she doesn't mind that Du Miaoyan also knows this secret.

Du Miaoyan frowned slightly, her face became serious, but she didn't speak, but looked at Fang Yuan, waiting for Fang Yuan's decision.

For such a big matter, she has her own thoughts, Fang Yuan must have his own, she doesn't want to interfere with Fang Yuan's thoughts.

"I don't want to hear it."

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

"why?"

Wang Shiyu exclaimed.

The treasure of a former crown prince is definitely very impressive, and it is possible for a country to be as rich as an enemy.

Faced with such a huge temptation, Fang Yuan actually said he didn't want to hear it, why would he not want to hear it?
Du Miaoyan also looked at Fang Yuan in surprise, her beautiful eyes flickered, she was curious and happy at the same time.

"In my capacity, knowing it doesn't mean having it."

"Owning it doesn't mean being able to guard it, it's more like a poison to me."

Fang Yuan shook his head, said in a deep voice.

Hidden Prince Treasure sounds very tempting.

But for Fang Yuan, it might not be a good thing.

Knowing what it is to get it, there is no strength to guard it at all.

At the same time, the current self is not short of money, power, or women.

For a man, money, power and women are all there, and the rest is nothing more than how much.

Fang Yuan was fascinated by Prince Yin's treasure, but it didn't affect his thinking.

"you!"

Wang Shiyu pointed at Fang Yuan and was speechless.

As far as she knows, men are greedy for power and wealth, and they can never have too much.

At that time, Pei Yonghui flattered himself like a dog because he valued the secrets he knew.

But I never thought that Fang Yuan would have such an insight, that he would be able to see Prince Yin's treasure so thoroughly.

You know, that may be the wealth of an enemy, and anyone who owns it may become the richest person.

"Fang Yuan, I'm proud of you!"

Du Miaoyan smiled sweetly.

She looked at Fang Yuan with adoring eyes.

Sure enough, some people really regard money as dung.

It is rare in the world to be able to think clearly about problems in the face of hidden prince treasures.

Du Miaoyan found that she liked Fang Yuan more and more, and admired Fang Yuan more and more.

On the other hand, Fang Yuan's attitude towards her is still the same as before, which makes her feel a little crisis.

"I really got you."

"Then how do you deal with the Xinzhou matter?"

Wang Shiyu was angry, but surprisingly, she also admired Fang Yuan.

She is still very concerned about the friendship with Fang Yuan, and she doesn't want to have trouble with Fang Yuan because of Wang's father and son.

The Wang family and his sons are kind to her, but Fang Yuan also has the kindness to save her life, the latter is naturally the bigger of the two.

She thought, if Fang Yuan is not willing to let the Wang family father and son go, for the sake of saving their lives, she will definitely help Fang Yuan.

"I have no thoughts at the moment."

Fang Yuan shook his head, said in a deep voice.

"Fang Yuan, how about I send the Royal Trading Company to escort you?"

Du Miaoyan suggested.

The royal firm represents the royal family, and Bingzhou should not dare to stop it.

However, there are relatively few people in the Royal Trading Company in Liaozhou at this time, and they just escorted a batch of tea back to Chang'an City a few days ago.

"Forget it, let me help you."

"I repay you for saving my life."

Wang Shiyu also suggested.

The matter of Wang's father and son can only be gradually figured out.

Now that Fang Yuan is in need, he has to help.

"No, I suddenly had an idea."

Fang Yuan's eyes suddenly lit up, and a thought popped into his mind.

"what?"

"any solution?"

Du Miaoyan was overjoyed immediately, and asked.

Wang Shiyu on the side also looked curiously at Fang Yuan.

Those who had no idea just now have a way.

So, someone between me and Du Miaoyan gave him a hint?
"I personally led the team and mobilized all the security guards to fight out."

Fang Yuan chuckled.

The ideas in my mind are becoming more and more perfect.

"what?"

"How does this work?!"

Both of Du Miaoyan were puzzled.

I feel that the result is the same even if Fang Yuan goes out in person.

And Fang Yuan, as the governor of Liaozhou, cannot leave Liaozhou easily.

"Just wait and see."

Fang Yuan laughed.

Of course, personally leading the team is only one of them.

There will be a second arrangement to ensure delivery to Xinzhou.

The governor of Xinzhou dared to set him up, so he should come to ask for an explanation in person.

"How about I accompany you?"

Du Miaoyan said worriedly.

When Wang Shiyu heard it, he immediately looked at Du Miaoyan jealously.

"No, I'll just take Bowu with me."

Fang Yuan shook his head and said.

Du Miaoyan's kindness was rejected.

This trip is still quite bumpy.

It is estimated that it will take about ten days to go back and forth, and I am tired of running around.

"No, I'll go with you."

Du Miaoyan thought for a while, shook her head, and said firmly.

She has no major affairs in Liaozhou City, all to study tea.

However, the research has fallen into a bottleneck, and I don't know how to study the disease of the father of the data.

Protecting Fang Yuan along the way, taking a break by the way, or perhaps gaining something.

"OK then."

"Leave early tomorrow morning."

Fang Yuan pondered for a moment, then nodded solemnly.

He left immediately, but arranged for the departure.

"Miao Yan, I want to go too!"

Wang Shi said angrily.

She came to Liaozhou mainly for two reasons.

One is to be with Du Miaoyan, and the other is to save the Wang family father and son.

There is no way to save the Wang family father and son now, if Du Miaoyan is not around, what's the point of her staying in Liaozhou?
"You are not strong enough to ride a horse for that long."

Du Miaoyan shook her head and said.

She also got up and left the governor's mansion.

"I can!"

Wang Shiyu said firmly.

As he spoke, he put his arms around Du Miaoyan's hand and hugged her tightly.

"Shiyu, we are not here to play, but to do business."

Du Miaoyan shook her head, still rejecting Wang Shiyu.

"If you don't take me there, I'll follow secretly."

"Will you be heartbroken if something goes wrong?"

Wang Shiyu rolled her eyes and looked at Du Miaoyan slyly.

"You are fooling around!"

Du Miaoyan's eyes suddenly turned cold.

"Hmph, I'm just messing around."

Wang Shiyu hangs on Du Miaoyan like a tree bear.

The two chatted and made trouble, and finally returned to the Royal Firm.

The courtyard of Fangfu.

Fang Yuan mobilized all the security guards to gather.

The security guard who went out to escort the caravan has completed its mission and is now back.

"Meet Zhou Zun!"

Three hundred security guards saluted together.

The movements are standardized and neat, which can be compared with state officials.

Compared with the beginning, a very big difference has occurred.

This has become a very strong team, very good.

Soon, Fang Yuan discovered that the one standing in front was an acquaintance.

"Lai Yingzhe, why are you standing so far ahead?"

Fang Yuan smiled lightly.

The team is divided into three rows with 100 people in each row.

The row in the middle is Lai Yingzhe whom Fang Yuan saw in the commercial street in the north of the city.

"Bingzhou Zun, I am now the captain of the security team!"

Lai Yingzhe was taken aback for a moment before answering excitedly.

He was very excited, Fang Yuan still remembered him as a small person.

Last time he held a meeting for his superior, Fang Yuan also remembered him, which made him excited for a long time.

During this gathering, Fang Yuan still remembered him, making him feel that his hard work during this time was not in vain.

"Very good, great progress!"

Fang Yuan was taken aback, then nodded in satisfaction.

Being able to become a captain from an ordinary person is somewhat extraordinary.

Lai Yingzhe's age was about the same as Fang Yuan's, and his appearance was very ordinary, even a bit jealous, with a scar on the corner of his mouth.

If this kind of person goes to study and takes the imperial examination, he will embark on a path similar to Zhang Ji, but now he has emerged in the security team.

"Xie Zhouzun is exaggerating!"

Lai Yingzhe responded loudly.

His face turned red with excitement.

Fang Yuan nodded, then walked to the steps.

When facing the crowd, his face became calm.

"From today on, you will call me Master!"

Fang Yuan's sharp eyes swept across the audience, said in a deep voice.

"Yes, sir!"

Three hundred security guards should all be there.

"Tomorrow at Chen's hour, you all gather at Fangfu, and I will take you to deliver a batch of goods."

"If there is no very important work in hand, stop first and do it when you come back."

Fang Yuan said loudly.

"Yes!"

Three hundred security guards should all agree again.

"Dismiss!"

Fang Yuan said loudly.

"Yes!"

The security guards should be again.

Then they left Fangfu in an orderly manner.

Fang Yuan watched, nodded in satisfaction.

This big gathering, the whole process ends with a few words.

Mainly because Fang Yuan wanted to test the level of the current security team.

Originally, I thought that there were many masters here, who would be unruly and undisciplined.

But judging from the gathering situation, it completely exceeded Fang Yuan's imagination, and the test was also avoided.

Taking them out of Liaozhou tomorrow will definitely shock the states and become the ace guards of the states.

One day passed like that.

On the second day, three hundred security teams gathered at Fangfu.

Fang Yuan is no longer in the government office today, he has already asked the state government for a few days off.

Du Miaoyan and Wang Shiyu have also arrived, each riding a white horse.

Under Xue Jiaoyan's beating and scolding, Xue Bowu rode a brown horse and waited for Fang Yuan.

"set off!"

Fang Yuan gave an order.

Three hundred security guards were dispatched together.

There are already many people in Liaozhou city in the morning.

Seeing Fang Yuan leaving with three hundred security guards, they were all shocked.

Not long after, the news spread throughout Liaozhou City, and people all speculated about what happened.

Shaoshan Village, Leping County.

More than 80 villagers are sitting in the middle of the road.

Yu Shaofeng's red bricks are full of cars parked here and cannot pass by.

Sun Taihe has arrived, and Ding Huabin, the magistrate of Leping County, has also arrived.

"Magistrate Ding, can we really not discuss it?"

Sun Taihe said with an ugly face.

He arrived early and wanted to discuss with the other party.

But the villagers in Shaoshan Village seemed to be deaf and did not answer his words.

If this was in Pingcheng County, he would have already put these unscrupulous people in a cell and beat them severely.

But this is Leping County, he can't do this, he can only speak loudly, and finally invited the county magistrate of Leping County.

"Didn't magistrate Sun make things difficult for me?"

"The folks don't want you to go there, what can I do?"

Ding Huabin said with a smile.

All responsibility was shifted to the people of Shaoshan Village sitting in the middle of the road.

"Magistrate Ding, after all, we are also neighboring counties."

"It's not good for us if the relationship is too tense."

Sun Taihe's face was ugly, and he said in a deep voice.

Without Ding Huabin's permission, the people of Shaoshan Village would not dare to do so.

But knowing that it was Ding Huabin's permission, Sun Taihe could only ask the other party to forgive him.

There is no way, this is Leping County, not Kaicheng County, no matter how angry he is, he can only bear it.

"Magistrate Sun is right."

"It's better to ask these people, and they will allow you to pass."

Ding Huabin said with a smile.

He didn't care about Sun Taihe's ugly face at all.

This is Leping County, not Pingcheng County, and Sun Taihe can't control it.

Unless it is said that Fang Yuan came in person to save face, but will Fang Yuan come down in person?

Even if he passed Leping County, there are other counties in Bingzhou that would block the Liaozhou convoy.

"I begged, but they didn't listen."

Sun Taihe took a deep breath and said in a deep voice.

He talked to these people for a long time, and his words were exhausted.

But they ignored him, as if they didn't hear it, very annoying.

"Maybe it's because you don't have enough sincerity. Why don't magistrate Sun kneel down and beg them?"

Ding Huabin smiled and suggested.

"Magistrate Ding, don't bully people too much!"

When Sun Taihe heard this, he was so angry that he almost burst.

He bought an official from Fang Yuan, not to kneel down for these common people.

"If Magistrate Sun doesn't want to, then I can't help it."

"I still have a lot to do. If Magistrate Sun doesn't want to, I'll go back first."

Ding Huabin smiled and said.

With that said, he turned around and was about to leave.

"slow!"

Sun Taihe called Ding Huabin to stop.

"what's wrong?"

Ding Huabin smiled even more happily.

There is a sense of victory in the eyes looking at Sun Taihe.

Leping County is adjacent to Pingcheng County, and Leping County has always been better than Pingcheng County.

But in the past six months, Pingcheng County seems to be developing better, and there are still people in Leping County who go shopping in Pingcheng County.

This was unthinkable before. In the past, people from Pingcheng County went to Leping County, but now it's the other way around. This makes Ding Huabin very upset.

It just so happened that there was an order from above, so he would naturally cooperate well and damage the spirit of Pingcheng County. Let's see how qualified they are to attract the people of Leping County in the future.

"Is it because I kneel down and they get out of the way?"

Sun Taihe took a deep breath and said in a deep voice.

Fang Yuan asked him to mediate this matter, he will do his best.

As long as there is still a way, although it is shameful, I am still willing to give it a try.

"I can't guarantee that."

Ding Huabin shrugged.

Seeing that Sun Taihe seemed about to have a fit, he immediately said, "But I will try to convince them."

"Okay, I kneel!"

Sun Taihe's face was livid.

Gritting his teeth, he said hoarsely.

Ding Huabin smiled even more happily.

He has seen too much kneeling by the common people.

But at the same time, the county magistrate knelt down, which was the first time he saw him.

"Magistrate Sun, no!"

Yu Shaofeng spoke to stop it at this time.

Because of this incident, it is too uneconomical for a county magistrate to kneel down.

Sun Taihe shook his head, did not answer Yu Shaofeng, endured the humiliation and prepared to kneel down.

Just at this time.

The sound of hurried horse riding sounded from Pingcheng County.

Everyone was taken aback for a moment, and then they all looked in the direction of the sound of horseshoes.

"master?!"

"Inspector Fang?!"

Yu Shaofeng and Sun Taihe both exclaimed.

They saw that the leader was Fang Yuan, and there was a group of people behind him.

When Ding Huabin heard Fang Inspector, he immediately thought of Fang Yuan, and the smile on his face froze.

It's really rare that the governor of Yizhou came directly under his status.

Soon, Fang Yuan and other riders arrived one after another.

"Greetings, Lord Inspector!"

Sun Taihe, Yu Shaofeng and others saluted.

Ding Huabin naturally didn't dare to neglect, and hurriedly saluted.

When the people sitting in the middle of the road heard that Lord Inspector was coming, they finally showed a look of fear and got up one after another.

"I've already asked for leave, and I'm not the governor of Liaozhou now."

Fang Yuan said indifferently.

Everyone was taken aback, a little puzzled.

"Is that the magistrate of Leping County?"

"Let them get out of the way, or should I blow them out of the way?"

Fang Yuan twitched the horsewhip in his hand, pointed at Ding Huabin and said.

Ding Huabin's face immediately showed embarrassment and anger, feeling insulted by Fang Yuan.

He suddenly thought, since Fang Yuan asked for leave, he also said that he is not the governor of Liaozhou now.

Then at this time, can I disobey his order and hurt the face of the governor?
