Lu Fang said: "She said she didn't want to see me, a rare great poem from Jingnan County, die prematurely."
Hearing this, Lu Liang looked at Lu Fang suspiciously for a few times, and finally nodded, "This reason is barely justified. The princess is a person who cherishes talents."
Then he asked Lu Fang, "What are you going to do about the poetry collection?"
Lu Fangdao: "It has almost been dealt with. Booksellers from other places will not continue to publish. As for the ones that have been published in Ningyuan County, it should not cause any big sensation."
"Um."
Lu Liang nodded slightly again, "It won't matter to Ningyuan County alone. Even if your collection of poems spreads in Ningyuan County, it will not cause dissatisfaction among the great Confucian scholars and scholars."
Then he said: "Besides this, has the princess told you anything else?"
Lu Fangdao: "You also asked me what my future plans are."
"how do you say?"
"I said I was going to do business."
Lu Liang looked deeply at Lu Fang, "Are you serious?"
Lu Fang nodded, "Of course I am serious. Only when you have money can you be free and easy."
Lu Liang didn't say much, he just said: "It's up to you to make the decision!"
Lu Fang asked him: "By the way, do you have the examination papers for the Tanzhou Township Examination, Jingnan County Jie Examination and the Imperial Examination?"
The imperial examination at the fourth level, the highest level, is presided over by the emperor. It only tests current affairs and matters, and is considered an interview with the emperor.
So there isn't much reference.
Lu Liang was slightly stunned, "What do you want this for?"
Then his eyes lit up, "Are you planning to take the imperial examination?"
Lu Fang nodded and said, "That's the plan."
"But didn't you just say you wanted to do business?" Lu Liang was surprised and wondered.
Lu Fang shrugged, "There is no conflict between the imperial examination and doing business. Can't officials do business?"
Lu Liang said: "There is no such restriction in Dayu law, but can you handle it with such busy work?"
Lu Fang chuckled and said, "Of course I have my own way."
After all, he is a high-end talent who has traveled through time in the 21st century. If he can't even settle this matter, then Lu Fang feels that his previous life has been in vain. What is a real boss like? He is a secretary when there is something to do, and a secretary when there is nothing to do. What?
A boss who does everything personally is mediocre.
Lu Liang looked at him deeply and said, "I don't have the previous examination papers here, but Ge Jiaoyu should have them. I'll find someone to ask him for them later, and then send them to you."
The Dayu Dynasty had a dual system of officials and officials. Each county government had a large number of officials.
For example, in Ningyuan County, there are only a few real officials, but there are dozens or hundreds of officials.
They are the ones below who do practical things. They have Cao Lu, Ji Si, Kong Mu, teaching edicts, etc., which are very complicated.
Among them, Jiaoyu was in charge of county education affairs, which was equivalent to the education director in later generations.
"OK."
Lu Fang agreed, and then asked: "How is the matter with He Zhengci?"
At this time, the question would not seem abrupt, and Lu Liang would not think that he came here specially to congratulate Zhengci.
Speaking of this, Lu Liang showed a smile on his face and said: "If you don't ask, I was planning to tell you. I have already talked to him today and gave him two choices, or take the blame and resign.
Please resign and return to your hometown. Or I will report his matter to the prefectural government office, which will make a decision. And ask him to tell me his decision before tomorrow."
"Resign?"
Lu Fang was stunned and said: "Did he commit a crime?"
Lu Liang said meaningfully: "Although Ningyuan is small, he has all the internal organs. As the county magistrate, he has had close contacts with the Wang family and other wealthy families in the past two years. How could he not leave any clues to others?"
Lu Fang instantly realized that it must be the Wang family, and the Xu family had made it clear that they were willing to side with Lu Liang.
With their help, not to mention that He Zhengci's handwriting was inherently unclean. Even if it was clean, there would be ways to drive him out of Ningyuan County.
"Does this give him some advantages?"
After pondering, Lu Fang said.
He Zhengci and He Zhengci wanted to kill him, and they had already done so twice. Although they failed, their intentions were worthy of death.
If possible, Lu Fang would like to destroy the father and son so that there is no room for them to stand up again.
Lu Liang sighed softly, shook his head and said: "He Zhengci is also an official of the imperial court. It would be too troublesome to drive him out and kill him."
He knew what Lu Fang was thinking, and added: "Don't worry, once he resigns, he will no longer pose any threat to you."
Lu Fang slapped his mouth, "Okay then."
He never thought about killing He Zhengci and He Chengcai. He couldn't do such a thing yet.
Furthermore, if you think about it, it would be good to keep these two guys to contribute some hatred value to yourself from time to time. Hatred value is much more valuable than worship value.
After leaving Lu Liang's room, Lu Fang returned to his yard and was in a daze in the house again.
He currently has very few adoration points left, only a pitiful less than 2,000 points. The poetry collection has fallen through, and he has to find other ways to get some adoration points.
Lu Fang has always believed that the system is absolutely the foundation for his survival in this world.
But where can I get worship points now?
…
Before he stayed in the room for long, the yamen servant in front of the yamen came over.
He was sent by Lu Liang, and it was not about the imperial examination. He said, "Master, I asked you to go to the front. The head of the Wang family and the head of the Xu family are here again."
Lu Fang was slightly stunned.
here we go again?
It must still be about marriage.
Why do these two guys seem to have made an appointment? Or are they always paying attention to their whereabouts?
Not long after he returned home, they attacked him on the back foot.
Lu Fang rubbed his eyebrows and followed the yamen servant to the front. When he arrived at Lu Liang's room, Wang Ye and Xu Zhilou were inside, drinking tea.
As the heads of the wealthy Ningyuan clan, although they have no official status, they can be said to control the economic lifeline of Ningyuan County. Even Lu Liang has to be quite polite to them.
Whether they cooperate or not often determines the tax efficiency of Ningyuan County. The tax efficiency of Ningyuan County is an important factor in Luliang's annual rating.
"Uncle Wang, Uncle Xu."
Xu Zhilou is about the same age as Wang Ye, but he is more handsome than Wang Ye. He is a middle-aged man with more charm.
Sometimes even Lu Fang wonders how Wang Ye could give birth to a beautiful daughter like Wang Yeyan with his appearance.
He held his hands in front of the two of them, looking very familiar with them.
In fact, he said he was familiar with him, but he was really familiar with him. He had met Wang Ye and Xu Zhilou many times before. It was just that these two guys had never looked at him directly.
"My nephew is here."
"My dear nephew, you are so polite. I haven't seen you for a few days, and your demeanor is different from usual!"
Of course it was different now. When Wang Ye and Xu Zhilou saw Lu Fang, their faces immediately put on smiles. Their eyes were full of undisguised admiration.
They had also read Lu Fang's collection of poems and were equally astonished.
With Lu Fang's poetic talent, not to mention that he was just deliberately dissolute in the past, even if he was really a fool before, they still felt that Lu Fang could achieve great achievements in the future.
And now that Lu Fang has not yet made a fortune, this is their best opportunity. It is very likely that the family will follow Lu Fang's development in the future.
Even at this moment, in the minds of Wang Ye and Xu Zhilou, Lu Fang is a potential stock with more "investment potential" than Lu Liang.
"Uncle Xu, thank you."
Lu Fang smiled, sat down opposite Lu Liang, and glanced at Wang Ye and Xu Zhilou again, "Are these two uncles here to see me?"
Wang Ye and Xu Zhilou nodded at the same time, then looked at each other, still with smiles on their faces.
This made Lu Fang suddenly feel a little weird.
This shouldn't be the case!
According to the situation at this time, the two of them should be competitors, but the look in their eyes... gave them a tacit understanding of an adulterer and an adulteress.
