It was said that Fang Yingwu had obtained his certificate of prosecution from the Ministry of Civil Affairs and was walking back while talking with Lou Tianhua. When he arrived at the entrance of the alley, he happened to meet his father who was returning home from the Yamen, and he quickly stepped forward to salute.
Fang Qingzhi looked behind Fang Yingwu, and saw that there were as many as three followers. Then he looked behind him, and there was only one slave from his hometown who came from the Wang family as a dowry... He was a little unhappy, but he didn't say anything.
Naturally, Fang Yingwu didn't dare to say anything, and followed his father home cautiously. Yesterday, he repeatedly violated the rules of heaven and almost got punished by the family. Today, it's better to be honest and do your duty.
Fang Qingzhi looked up and saw several people waiting at the door of his house, and most of them were here to visit him, so his mood turned cloudy. His son had found a bunch of entourage to make a scene. It was the low-level excitement that young people like to do, and it was nothing like it.
He talks and laughs like a scholar, has no ordinary friends in his dealings, and has no common knowledge with his son.
The father and son walked to the gate one after another, only to see the people who had been waiting rushing over, passing directly by Fang Qingzhi, and surrounding Fang Yingwu.
Some are called "Big Master", some are called "Old Parents", some are called "County Zun", and some are called "Qingtian"... People are shouting indiscriminately, and for a while, the Fang family
It was noisy in front.
Neither Wang Ying nor Fang Yingshi had ever seen this scene before, and they were immediately at a loss. Lou Tianhua, who had just joined the team today, stood up and shouted to the crowd gathered around him: "Quiet! Quiet! Don't disturb the nobles!"
The surrounding area gradually became quiet. Fang Yingwu coughed majestically and was about to deliver a speech on anti-corruption. But when he was about to speak, he suddenly caught a glimpse of his father standing outside the crowd with his forty-five-cornered head.
Own.
"I haven't arrived yet. How dare you show off to meet the guests! Elders, please go back!" Fang Yingwu rejected everyone in one breath. Then the three followers protected Fang Yingwu from being harassed and entered the gate.
.
"My officer? You change your tone very quickly. Hehe..." Editor Fang shook his head at Magistrate Fang in the hallway and went back to his study.
Lou Tianhua was very considerate and responded to the other party: "Proprietor, please be lenient. The county magistrate must live in the county government office. In the future, you don't have to worry about conflicting with the old man in the entrance and exit rituals."
The next day, Fang Yingwu sent Lou Tianhua to find Mr. Yao of Zhongyi Bookstore, and wanted to borrow some skilled shop assistants from Mr. Yao to go to Wanping County to take stock of the treasury.
Then Fang Yingwu had nothing to do and could only sit at home and tease his concubine. "I used to call you husband. Why did you suddenly insist on calling me master last night?" "Because it feels more exciting to call me master." "I hate it!"
Suddenly it was reported that it was Xiang Chengxian who came to visit, and Fang Yingwu ordered him to come in. Mr. Xiang sat down and started talking, saying: "In the same year of the 35th, I heard that brother Fang Xian was demoted, so I gave a little treatment to Bojiu.
Dear brother, send me off!"
Fang Yingwu was secretly amused by this, "I'm not going to another place. I'm still in the capital. What's the point of sending me away?"
Xiang Chengxian was extremely dissatisfied when he heard this and said: "Please cooperate and don't spoil the atmosphere! As the saying goes, the wise master is deceived, the loyal minister is abandoned, and the spring breeze in the willows. We have known each other for three or five years, but we reluctantly say goodbye... In short, you are our
You are the first person in this department to be demoted for admonishing me, and all the gentlemen said they would serve you wine."
The more Fang Yingwu listened, the more he felt it was ridiculous. He asked abruptly: "Looking at you like this, are you celebrating or expressing sympathy?"
"Hey, this is really a problem." Xiang Chengxian scratched his scalp in distress. "Obviously he was demoted, but it seems like a happy event.
However, I heard statistics from others. In the second year of Chenghua, a total of 350 people were recruited from the Bingxu Section. Up to now, more than 100 people have been demoted or abandoned their official positions. This is almost one-third of the number, which is the highest number in history.
..."
"Then?"
"The scholars all praised that in recent decades, this subject has been the most popular in the country in recruiting scholars! From this point of view, brother Fang Xian, you are also a role model for our subject!"
There are always some social interactions that cannot be avoided, and Fang Yingwu spent two days in a row dealing with these human interactions. When he returned home that day, he saw Lou Tianhua waiting in the concierge.
Fang Yingwu took him to the study and asked, "Is the inventory finished? What's the situation?"
Lou Tianhua took out a stack of paper heavily and handed it over, and replied casually: "We have counted a lot of shortfalls. All the silver taels, money, food, and treasure notes totaled, which is equivalent to three thousand taels of silver at the current price."
"How much? Three thousand taels?" Fang Yingwu was shocked. Although peace has lasted for a long time and the private economy is still active, it has not reached the level of the Wanli period when the commodity economy was highly developed. Generally, the wealthy merchants may only have a few dollars in supplies.
One hundred taels, three thousand taels is really a huge amount of money.
"It's not entirely the fault of the former Magistrate Sun. Wanping County is located in the capital, and the number of officials is overwhelming." Lou Tianhua said as he took out another piece of paper and handed it to Fang Yingwu: "This is what I inquired about today.
, all are Sun Zhixian’s resume.”
The person surnamed Lou is quite discerning. Does this mean he wants to be ahead of the leader? Fang Yingwu, who was not sure how to express his position, secretly admired it and quickly took it over and glanced at it a few times.
Then he thought about it again and said to Lou Tianhua: "Three thousand taels of silver is really not a small amount. How can I afford it? Go and send a message to Sun Zhixian to make up for the shortfall!"
After looking at the resume of Sun Zhixian just now, Fang Yingwu can basically confirm that no matter where he starts, Sun Zhixian has nothing to do with him; moreover, this person comes from an ordinary school and does not have any powerful figures; finally, this person has nothing to do with him.
People are unknown in history, and they are not famous.
Since he has no background, favors, or fame, there is no need to be lenient, and Fang Yingwu can kill decisively without restraint.
It’s not that Fang Yingwu was unkind to his predecessor. After all, three thousand taels is really not a small amount. If it was only a few dozen taels, he might still be able to turn a blind eye and let it go.
Seeing that the proprietor knew what he was doing, Lou Tianhua agreed, "Yes, I will send a message tomorrow so that Lord Sun can make up for the shortfall as soon as possible."
After watching Lou Tianhua leave, Fang Yingwu saw his disciple come to report: "Young master, your provincial examination master Li Shishi, Mr. Li, has sent his family over to invite you to the party."
Huh? Fang Yingwu was very strange. If Master Li was invited, he would just send him a post. Why would he send someone to invite him in person?
The person who came was a steward of Li Shishi's family. When he came in, he paid homage and said, "Sir Fang! To be honest, my master is here to do something for Mr. Sun County!"
It’s not surprising that Sun Zhixian found someone to intercede so quickly, but Fang Yingwu was very curious about the relationship between Li Zuoshi and Sun Zhixian? Why couldn’t he tell?
The steward then replied: "There is a gentleman named Gan Qinggan in the same year as Jinshi in Sun County. He and my husband are both from the same hometown of Nanchang, so he was entrusted to my boss from time to time! My boss couldn't forgive me, so I had to ask you to talk about it.
.”
Fang Yingwu rubbed his forehead and sighed, is this the legendary network of connections? The network of connections in the officialdom is indeed complicated. In the past, I only wandered around the edges and had no personal experience. Today, I just entered the door and learned a lesson.
It seems that he has nothing to do with the magistrate of Sun County, but he can still be found by others. Li Shishi is his own township examination master, can he be rejected? (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, novels are better Update faster!
