"Fang Chen, don't be proud!" Another official roared: "No matter how well you read, how smart you are, or how many great principles you have, it's useless because you don't have any practice!"
"We have checked that you have been a eunuch for several years since you came to the palace. You have never left the palace in the past few years. The royal guards are responsible for supervising all officials. They need to have a very good understanding of the officialdom and all departments of the entire imperial capital, such as interrogation and arrest.
The work will become even more difficult, how can you, a eunuch, be able to take on such an important task?"
Before time travel, Fang Chen's body was an unknown little eunuch.
Fang Chen's sudden rise can be said to have overwhelmed Hu Bu and others, making them unable to guard against him.
It even disrupted many people's plans.
Fang Chen said confidently: "Practice is indeed the best proof."
"Last time, His Majesty said in court, I promised that as long as you give me two months, I can make the entire imperial capital look brand new."
"Moreover, I am willing to put my head on my head as a guarantee, but do you dare? Do you want us to make a bet?"
What else did this official want to say? Hearing that Fang Chen wanted to make a bet with him and guaranteed it with his head, he was frightened.
Thinking of Liu Yuanqing's fate, he didn't dare to say a word and stepped aside.
At this time, someone from the household department spoke again.
"Fang Chen, no matter how smart you are, you can't become a royal guard!"
Fang Chen stared at this person and asked, "Why not?"
The man smiled coldly: "Your Majesty said that the Jin Yiwei monitors all officials and arrests criminals. They hold many important positions and are directly under your Majesty's orders. They have the important task of protecting His Majesty."
"So, as the boss of Dongchang Factory and the boss of Jinyiwei, you must have strong personal force and strength. As far as I know, Mr. Fang doesn't know martial arts, right?"
As soon as this person finished speaking, someone immediately grasped this point and started to report it.
"That's right, Jin Yiwei must have advanced cultivation and martial arts. If he doesn't have martial arts, he won't be qualified at all!"
"I second the motion!"
"I also agree!"
Amid the protests from the Ministry of Revenue officials, Fang Chen suddenly clenched his right hand and then opened his palm.
Waves of invisible air flow swirled in the palm of his right hand.
"Release your true energy, at least a third-level cultivation level!"
"Oh my god, this dead eunuch is actually a master of level three or above!"
"I didn't expect him to be so powerful!"
Fang Chen didn't want to expose his own strength, but in order to stop everyone from becoming a Jin Yiwei, he had to suppress all opponents.
Zhang Yu and others did not expect that Fang Chen had such a skill!
At this time, behind the ministers, there was a person with a cold face.
This person is none other than Zhao Sen!
He secretly kidnapped Fang Chen not long ago and gave him chronic poison to control Fang Chen. At that time, Fang Chen clearly didn't understand martial arts!
If it were a third-level master, Zhao Sen would never succeed.
what on earth is it?
Could it be that in just a few days, a person who has never learned martial arts can become a third-level master?
it's out of the question!
Even a peerless genius cannot!
Zhao Sen couldn't figure it out even if he tried hard.
Fang Chen looked condescending and said coldly: "I am not the third grade, but the fourth grade!"
"Anyone who is dissatisfied can come up and give it a try?"
There is no way to fake this thing.
Everyone was even more surprised when they heard that Fang Chen was in the fourth grade.
Luo Ningxin was also surprised.
Before, Fang Chen was at the third level. In just a few days, he was already at the fourth level?
So fast?
Seeing that everyone was silent, Fang Chen continued to provoke: "Which of you still wants to stop me and say that I am not qualified to be a factory worker in Dongchang?"
Everyone in the audience was completely silent, you could hear a pin drop!
"You keep stopping me, just because you're afraid that I'll touch your cake and your interests, right?"
"Then let me tell you clearly now that after I take control of Dongchang, I will conduct a large-scale investigation. I will closely monitor all officials and find out all corrupt officials!"
"Let you spit out everything you have eaten, and make those vampires who harmed the people pay the price!"
Many people glared at Fang Chen, or lowered their heads, extremely angry.
However, there was nothing they could do about Fang Chen.
Luo Ningxin was very satisfied with the result. He knew that Fang Chen could suppress everyone.
"Dear gentlemen, do you still have any opinions on Fang Chen's appointment as the director of Dongchang Factory?"
Just when Feng Gao was about to read out the imperial edict and the dust had settled, Zhang Yu finally spoke.
"Your Majesty, Mr. Fang has been managing Yanghuafang recently. He has made the dirty and dirty Yanghuafang in an orderly manner so that the people can live and work in peace and contentment. It is a blessing for our Great Yan Dynasty that your Majesty can get such a talented person as Fang Chen!"
Zhang Yu actually praised me?
Fang Chen and Luo Ningxin both had a bad feeling in their hearts.
This guy wanted Fang Chen to die, so how could he suddenly appreciate him?
There must be more to it.
Sure enough, Zhang Yu continued: "Fang Chen is really great. I heard that he opened a soap factory and carried out comprehensive reforms in Yanghuafang. The results are outstanding and everyone can see it."
"But in the past few days, I heard that Fang Chen has opened another textile factory, and cooperated with the Ma family, a merchant in the imperial capital, and spent a lot of manpower and financial resources to build the factory, and the two parties have reached a comprehensive cooperation!"
When Zhang Yu said this, Fang Chen already knew in his heart that this guy would definitely accuse him of collusion between government and business.
Sure enough, Zhang Yu paused and said sonorously: "Your Majesty, the Dayan Dynasty has legislated that officials cannot do business privately, and officials cannot collude with merchants!"
"I would like to ask Mr. Long, the Minister of Punishment, how can I be convicted of colluding with government officials and businessmen?"
Long Qianqiu, the Minister of Punishment, had been watching the play. When Zhang Yu asked him, he had no choice but to stand up and answer.
"The collusion between government and businessmen makes a profit of more than a hundred cents. If you hit thirty big boards and make a profit of one tael, if you hit a hundred big boards again, ten or two people will be jailed for three months, one hundred two will be jailed for five years, and three hundred and two taels will be jailed for five years."
Above, death penalty!"
The punishment for collusion between government and businessmen is very severe.
That's because collusion between officials and businessmen is the root cause of official corruption, and the court has been cracking down hard.
But in fact, many officials take money from merchants in disguise. They never participate in the business operations of merchants. They only provide various conveniences to merchants, give green lights, obtain various benefits from merchants, and exploit loopholes in the law.
Just like Xiao San before, most of the profits from running Chunxiao Tower were handed over to Zhang Yu's youngest son, Zhang Fengwu.
It’s like protection money!
With the protection of this godbrother, Xiao San will naturally be lawless in Yanghuafang!
If Xiao San is in trouble, as long as he says these three words Zhang Fengwu, no one will dare to mess with him.
No one dares to offend the son of Lord Shangshu!
However, Fang Chen didn't take them seriously and blocked his way. He would hit them when they needed to be hit and stop them when they needed to be!
In this cooperation with the Ma family, Fang Chen designed the textile car, built factories, built houses, etc., and Fang Chen participated and invested in it.
On the surface, this is a definite collusion between government and business!
