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

Chapter 193 An Unexpected Guest
"Fang Yuan, why are you looking for me?"

Li Shimin stopped working.

He stretched himself, got up and walked to a tea table to sit down.

Li Shimin also learned Fang Yuan's layout in Liaozhou Governor's Mansion, and also got a coffee table.

In my spare time, or when ministers come to report, I drink tea and chat here.

It can be said that after Fang Yuan launched the new tea, it greatly changed the living habits of people in Tang Dynasty.

"Your Majesty knows about my Mohist Academy?"

Fang Yuan sat down and said.

"Yeah. I know."

Li Shimin suddenly became interested.

The Mohist Research Institute is located in the nine-story Star Observation Building.

The last time he entered the second floor in Wuling County, he was very interested.

Later, I arrived at Liaozhou City. Because it was under construction, I didn't have a chance to take a look inside.

"I am going to rebuild in Chang'an City."

"I would like to ask His Majesty to approve a piece of land and allow the recruitment of craftsmen and other personnel."

"The things invented by the Mohist Research Institute will be used in the lives of the people after His Majesty's consent."

Fang Yuan said in a deep voice.

He entered the palace today because of this matter.

The establishment of the Mohist Research Institute in Chang'an City is not a big deal, and there is no need to notify it.

But recruiting talents here may be impeached, and it may bring hidden dangers after development.

Instead of leaving hidden dangers, it is better to explain to the emperor in advance, Li Shimin's enlightenment must have no objection.

"As the Chang'an order, you can decide these things."

Li Shimin waved his hand and said.

The degree of refreshment is even more exaggerated than Fang Yuan thought.

Because Fang Yuan didn't know, in Li Shimin's heart, he was a virtuous minister of Ying Meng.

And Li Shimin also really wants to know what is inside Fang Yuan's ninth-floor star observatory.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Fang Yuan thanked.

Flatteringly make tea for Li Shimin.

The tea leaves are all premium tea leaves sent by Du Miaoyan.

It smells a little different, and those who drink too much can taste it.

"Is there anything else?"

Li Shimin laughed.

General ministers will leave after talking about things.

Fang Yuan hasn't left yet, probably there are other matters.

"Your Majesty is wise!"

"There is someone who wants to recommend it to His Majesty!"

Fang Yuan patted Li Shimin's flattery and said.

"You recommend talents?!"

Li Shimin couldn't help looking at Fang Yuan in surprise.

Fang Yuan has only been in Chang'an City for a few days, and someone recommended it to him?

Or is it a talent discovered outside Chang'an City?

"There is a man named Ma Zhou, who used to be a teaching assistant in Buzhou, and now the Zhonglang general He Chang's family."

"I know him well, and I think he is a talent. This person is better than me, but he is missing a chance."

Fang Yuan smiled and said.

After finishing speaking, he added another sentence, "Praise a handful of Ma Zhou."

According to historical records, Ma Zhou was really a formidable talent.

"Your evaluation is so high?"

Li Shimin looked at Fang Yuan in disbelief.

Fang Yuan has been promoted so fast all the way, although there are various opportunities, his own ability is also very good.

Otherwise, even if he is the emperor, with Du Ruhui's support behind him, it is impossible for him to have the current status.

But even so, Fang Yuan still approved of Ma Zhou so much, which surprised Li Shimin, and made him extremely curious about Ma Zhou.

At this time, Li Shimin suddenly remembered that he had seen Ma Zhou's memorial before, and asked people to inquire about Ma Zhou's situation.

Later, because he was too busy, he forgot such a talent, and Fang Yuan only remembered the character Ma Zhou when he mentioned it again, and became interested instantly.

"Really talent."

Fang Yuan smiled and said.

He naturally didn't know that Li Shimin already knew about Ma Zhou.

"I understand."

"Wang De, pass on Ma Zhou, I want to test him."

Li Shimin nodded, and instructed the eunuch Wang De beside him.

He is not very free, but he is very curious about Ma Zhou, worried that if he misses this time, he will forget such a talent again.

"The minister will retire first."

Fang Yuan Zhiqu was about to leave.

"Be careful recently."

"Keep an eye on Bishamon's evil obstacles."

Li Shimin did not ask to stay, but reminded.

He has already started to lay out, just waiting for Bishamon's rebellion.

"Yes."

Fang Yuan should be.

Then he was taken away from the palace by the eunuch.

Coincidentally, I met Ma Zhou when I was leaving the Suzaku Gate.

"Fang Yuan, thank you!"

Ma Zhou looked at Fang Yuan, and immediately understood what Fang Yuan meant.

He saluted heavily, thanked Fang Yuan so much, he almost knelt on the ground.

"Brother Ma, are you okay like this?"

Fang Yuan was a little worried looking at Ma Zhou's appearance.

It's because I trimmed my appearance and changed into a nice dress.

But his face was red and smelled of alcohol, and he didn't know if he was drunk or not.

"Don't worry, I'm not drunk, I can handle it with ease!"

Ma Zhou waved his hand and said fearlessly.

But the smell of alcohol in his mouth made Fang Yuan worried.

It's just that the emperor has sent a message, and we can only see his fortune.

"good luck!"

Fang Yuan said goodbye to him.

After returning to the county office, Fang Yuan asked Ju Zi and Zhou Shi to be invited.

Not long after, Juzi and Zhou Shi arrived, Fang Yuan brought them into the conference room.

In the meeting room, there is already a very detailed map of Chang'an City, which contains [-] workshops.

"Giant, take a look at this map."

Fang Yuan greeted the giant and said.

"Fang Yuan, you don't want me to make this sand table, do you?"

"I'm telling you, if you dare to speak, I will break up with you!"

Juzi looked at the nearly two-square-meter map, and his expression changed drastically.

Zhou Shi didn't think about anything at first, but after hearing Juzi's words, his expression changed drastically.

He also helped to make the sand table. He knew the difficulty of sand table making. The map in front of him was too big, and it was terrible to make.

"Misunderstood, I asked you to choose the site."

"Choose a place, and the Mohist Research Institute will not need to be built in the mansion in the future."

Fang Yuan was stunned, then smiled in relief.

It turned out that I misunderstood the purpose of looking for them.

"Um, choose a location?"

"Why do you want to choose a location outside the mansion?"

The giant breathed a sigh of relief.

But at the same time, he was curious about Fang Yuan's intentions.

The construction in the mansion is very good, safe and convenient.

It is very convenient for eating, resting and researching.

"We will live in Chang'an City for a long time from now on."

"It's no longer like other places that have to move every few years."

"The Mohist Research Institute will also develop and grow, so it has to be more formal."

Fang Yuan said softly.

Chang'an City will be the base camp.

Then work and life must be separated.

Moreover, the Mohist Research Institute will grow stronger and stronger as time goes by.

At that time, there will be too many people, and they will all be in Fangfu, which will cause inconvenience, and it will be inconvenient for both parties.

Not everyone just likes research like a giant, they still want to live, and it will be like a cage in Fangfu all the time.

"That's right, it needs to be formalized!"

The giant thought for a while and murmured.

It needs to be formalized, and it may have to compete with Mo Cailing in the future.

In the past, he just wanted to do research and get by, but Fang Yuan has been promoted to Chang'an Order, so he has to keep up with the speed.

"Well, let's choose a place."

Fang Yuan nodded, pointed to the map and said.

Juzi and Zhou Shi slowly became interested and went to the map to look at it.

"How about Quchifang?"

"This place is remote, with mountains and water, and there is a lotus garden in the distance."

The giant pointed to a corner and asked.

Many research projects require water support.

There is a big Qujiang Pond next to Quchifang, which is enough for research.

The most important point is that there are few people and it is quiet enough to not worry about being disturbed.

"should be no problem."

"You guys get ready."

Fang Yuan thought for a while and said.

The Furong Garden opposite Quchifang is a royal garden, often used for royal gatherings.

For the sake of safety, the imperial court intentionally or unintentionally forbids anyone from approaching that side, which is almost full of mountains and rivers.

Although the imperial court banned it intentionally or unintentionally, but Fang Yuan is the order of Chang'an, no matter if there is the emperor's intention, there is no problem in setting it there.

"Okay, is there anything else I can help with?"

The giant nodded and said.

He doesn't have much to prepare.

The nine-story Star Observatory was redesigned when it was in Liaozhou City.

At that time, it will be good to rebuild it according to the time in Liaozhou City.

"Talent recruiting!"

"You announce to the outside world that the Mohist giant has established the Mohist Research Institute, and sincerely recruits craftsmen from all over the world. The monthly salary is [-], including food and lodging."

"Chang'an ordered Fang Yuan to guarantee the whole process!"

Fang Yuan said in a deep voice.

"hiss!!!"

"Isn't it a little shocking to be called a Mohist giant?"

The giant was a little shocked.

The Mohist School is a very large and messy organization, distributed throughout the Tang Dynasty.

If the Mohist Research Institute is established under the name of the Mohist giant, it may cause dissatisfaction from the other two branches.

Moreover, Juzi is only a part of Xiangli's Mo, one of the three major branches, and does not fully represent this branch.

Establishing a Mohist Research Institute under the name of a Mohist giant may become the public enemy of all Mohist schools, and it will be a small matter to be targeted at that time.

The Mohist Research Institute has been built in Fangfu for this reason.

"do not be afraid."

"This is Chang'an City, and I am Chang'an Ling."

Fang Yuan said in a deep voice.

Although it will attract attacks from other Mohist branches.

But this is Chang'an City, and I am Chang'an Ling, and the soldiers came to cover up the water and soil.

The Bishamen are about to rebel, do you still have to worry about the Mohist branch coming to attack?

"Okay, domineering, then I don't have to worry about anything."

The giant was taken aback for a moment, then said loudly.

With Fang Yuan behind him, there is nothing to worry about.

Although Chang'an City is Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, Fang Yuan is Chang'an Order, responsible for the security of Chang'an City.

Anyone who wants to target the Mohist Research Institute must pass Fang Yuan first, it is not that easy.

"Go, sit back and watch the Mo family's glorious time again."

Fang Yuan laughed.

Juzi and Zhou Shi nodded heavily, and then left the county office.

Not long after, Juzi started to publicize the establishment of the Mohist Research Institute through Fang Yuan's relationship.

Mohism has been rumored since ancient times. Although it is not easy to see them in this era, they are still very famous.

Taking this opportunity, Fang Yuan used government officials to erect billboards in every square of Chang'an City, a total of [-] billboards to advertise the Mohist Research Institute.

Within half a day, everyone in Chang'an City knew that the Mohist tycoon was going to set up Mohist research and research, and that he was recruiting craftsmen with a monthly salary of [-].

For a while, people were talking about it.

"The Mohist giant established the Mohist Research Institute, wouldn't it be the Mohist giant in the legend?"

"I don't believe it. The Mohist school fell apart a long time ago during the Warring States period. Those Mohist children in the rivers and lakes are all trash. It can't be true."

"But Chang'an ordered Fang Yuan to guarantee the whole process, and also returned a monthly salary of [-] yuan, shouldn't it be fake?"

"Will you soon know that there will definitely be other Mohist disciples?"

People have their own opinions.

As a craftsman talent is already ready to move.

Thirty coins is not what attracts them the most, it is mainly Mohist giants and Mohist technology.

The Mohists have mastered many techniques, and if they can learn one or two, they will definitely benefit a lot.

Ever since, the first person to eat crabs appeared, and began to go to Fangfu, where Juzi and others were interviewed to investigate basic skills.

With No.1, there will be a second person, and then more people will come to apply.

After the giant applied for the job, ask them to leave their address, and promise to inform them whether they pass the interview after a few days.

For several days, craftsmen came to Fangfu to apply for jobs.

After Fang Yuan helped advertise, he ignored it.

But on this day, Fang Yuan who was on duty at the county government was notified.

When applying for a job, a special guest came and asked him to go back.

Zhou Shi came in person, Fang Yuan returned with a solemn expression after learning the identity of the other party.

Fang Mansion, Fang Yuan's study.

A woman in court dress stood in front of the bookshelf.

She held a book in her hand and read it with relish.

Looking at it from the side, this is a very beautiful young woman.

She is very white, but not rosy white, but sickly white.

After Fang Yuan entered the study, the other party put down the book and faced Fang Yuan.

"Fang Ling is so young!"

The young woman looked at Fang Yuan, said with a flowery smile.

"What's your name?"

Fang Yuan looked at her and said after a long time.

It's not that Fang Yuan doesn't know who she is, but that he doesn't know how to address her.

Zheng Guanyin, the widow of the hidden prince, is also the concubine Zheng that Qin Fangben said!

She actually came to see Fang Yuan on the grounds that she was applying for the Mohist Academy's recruitment!

Fang Yuan didn't think of this at all, and he didn't know why she was looking for him?

"casual."

Zheng Guanyin smiled lightly.

"Please sit down."

Fang Yuan frowned, and finally asked the other party to sit down.

Whatever you want, whatever you want, you don’t call anything.

"Can Fang Ling guess why I came this time?"

Zheng Guanyin seemed a little mischievous, her eyes were smiling like stars.

"I don't want to guess, please tell me!"

Fang Yuan said in a deep voice.

Zheng Guanyin's identity is too sensitive.

It should have a lot to do with Bishamon.

And she was the concubine Zheng of Emperor Li Shimin.

"Men are boring."

Zheng Guanyin pursed her lips and said.

Fang Yuan watched, but didn't speak.

"First of all, thank you for not telling the emperor."

Zheng Guanyin looked serious and said with a light smile.

Fang Yuan frowned, but still didn't speak.

But he already understood that Zheng Guanyin knew what happened that night.

In other words, Zheng Guanyin is really related to Bishamon, otherwise it would be impossible to know about it.

Terrible, Zheng Guanyin is related to Bishamon, and the emperor imprisoned her, the emperor didn't even know?

"Secondly, I want to ask, why is that girl here with you?"

Zheng Guanyin became serious again.

Looking at Fang Yuan's eyes changed, a lot deeper.

"I picked it up in a slum in Liaozhou."

Fang Yuan said in a deep voice.

He knew that the girl Zheng Guanyin was talking about was Fang Jingyu.

It's just that Zheng Guanyin also knew about Fang Jingyu, and came to find her in person.

Wanting to come to Zheng Guanyin to find herself, it was not because she did not inform the emperor, but because Fang Jingyu came.

It seems that Fang Jingyu's status in Zheng Guanyin's heart is extraordinary, and it may not be as simple as a tool person he cultivated.

"What's her name?"

Zheng Guanyin's voice trembled a little.

His originally morbidly white face became even paler.

"Fang Jingyu!"

Fang Yuan looked deeply at Zheng Guanyin, said in a deep voice.

"Fang Jingyu, Fang Jingyu is a nice name."

"Fang Yuan, thank you for adopting her, I owe you a favor, how about giving you a message now?"

Zheng Guanyin murmured.

Slowly revealing a smile, his demeanor also slowly recovered.

"Need not."

"You take it back."

Fang Yuan stared at Zheng Guanyin, said in a deep voice.

"No, no."

"I abandoned her, so I am not eligible to adopt her again."

Zheng Guanyin shook her head, her eyes flashed with pain.

The demeanor that had just recovered collapsed again, as if very distressed.

"Why give up?"

Fang Yuan frowned deeper.

"I'm just a weak woman, and I can't do many things by myself."

The corners of Zheng Guanyin's mouth were bitter, and sadness welled up in his eyes.

She, who was originally abnormally white, looked very sad and heartbreaking.

"What does she have to do with you?"

Fang Yuan asked again.

He felt that Zheng Guanyin had an unusual feeling for Fang Jingyu.

"It's just a child I once adopted."

"Let's talk about something else, Fang Ling, do you really need me to give you a piece of news?"

"I use this news well, and your position in the emperor's heart will definitely be greatly improved."

Zheng Guanyin laughed at himself.

"what news?"

Fang Yuan pondered for a moment and asked.

Trading with Zheng Guanyin is not a good thing.

He didn't even want Zheng Guanyin to stay in Fangfu for a quarter of an hour.

As Zheng Guanyin, the emperor must have sent someone to keep an eye on him.

"The Bishamon rebellion."

Zheng Guanyin slowly recovered her body and said with a light smile.

"You sell it."

Fang Yuan's heart trembled, and he said in a deep voice.

"As Chang'an Order, you may have received news that Bishamon is going to rebel."

"The news is correct, but because of your appearance, Bishamon's rebellion plan has changed."

Zheng Guanyin looked at Fang Yuan and said.

"because I?"

Fang Yuan frowned, puzzled.

"Yes, because of you."

"Because you ran into the military division in my house that night."

Zheng Guanyin laughed even louder, his eyes seemed to have stars.

"How did you hide from the emperor's surveillance of you?"

Fang Yuan frowned again, and asked in doubt.

"Who knows?"

"Or maybe the emperor himself knew about it."

Zheng Guanyin laughed.

Seems a little mentally disturbed.

"Then your news is worthless."

Fang Yuan couldn't see through Zheng Guanyin.

This woman is obviously smiling, but it gives people a very sad feeling.

Thinking of her situation made me feel even more like that.

"this is for you!"

"I'm leaving, don't tell them we met, or you and I may lose our lives."

Zheng Guanyin took out a small note, pressed it on the table and pushed it towards Fang Yuan.

Fang Yuan took it, opened it and saw that there were only two words written on it: Xiao Yu.

At this time, Zheng Guanyin had already got up and was about to walk out of the study.

"What does it mean?"

Fang Yuan stood up, said in a deep voice.

"you guess."

Zheng Guanyin walked out of the study without looking back.

She was led by Qing Qiang and walked to the recruitment office in the front yard.

Fang Yuan walked out of the study, looking at Zheng Guanyin's back.

Just at this time, Zheng Jiu, who was wearing a government uniform, ran over.

"Fang Ling, there is urgent news from the county government."

"Princess Changle is missing. Your Majesty ordered Jinwu Guard, Chang'an County, and Wannian County to search the entire city."
