Because of the competition between the two sides, Fang Chen and Liu Yuanqing naturally did not have to go to court.
After five days in a row, the situation in Yanghuafang finally improved.
The streets have become clean and the gangsters have come to their senses now.
The leader of one group looked at Fang Chen and said bitterly: "Master Fang, don't you think this urban management team just wants our brothers to sweep the streets and dig out excrement?"
"How can this be!"
Fang Chen snorted and said: "Urban sanitation management is only part of it. If sanitation is done well, then we still need to supervise it? Look, this is a new regulation."
"From now on, you will bring people to patrol the streets for me. If you catch anyone throwing garbage or spitting, you will fine me! These fines are the funds of your urban management brigade and you can use them as you like."
Everyone's eyes lit up, and one person whispered: "Is this the legendary fishing for profit?"
"You are looking for death!" The person next to him immediately slapped the speaker. Can such words be said in front of Mr. Fang?
Unexpectedly, Fang Chen chuckled: "You are right, this is your urban management team's oil and water. As long as you can catch it and enforce the law fairly and in accordance with the regulations, all the fines will belong to your urban management team!"
As soon as they heard that it could still be like this, everyone's enthusiasm was ignited again.
According to Fang Chen's arrangement, he started patrolling the streets.
Fang Chen took the time to go back to the palace to find Her Majesty the Empress because he wanted to build a public toilet.
This matter must be handled with the order of Her Majesty the Empress.
Otherwise, the people at the Ministry of Household Affairs will never give him a penny, and this matter will have to be left to the Ministry of Works.
Knowing Fang Chen's purpose of coming, Luo Ningxin naturally had no objection and directly gave her the gold medal that symbolized her identity.
"With this order, just do whatever you want." Luo Ning said to her heart.
Fang Chen took the token respectfully: "Thank you, Your Majesty. Don't worry, I won't let you down."
"That's good. You must win this competition with Liu Yuanqing, and you must win comprehensively! Otherwise, even if I am facing you during the inspection, none of the civil and military ministers are blind."
Fang Chen responded: "I understand."
Luo Ningxin nodded with satisfaction after hearing this, and then asked casually: "Have you been to Ye Guiren's place?"
Sure enough, nothing can be hidden from Her Majesty the Empress, Fang Chen thought to himself, and replied: "That's right, on the first day I arrived at Yanghuafang, I was recognized by Ye Guiren's personal maid, Hong Xiu. So I went to visit
For a moment.”
Luo Ningxin glanced at him and exclaimed: "How come one queen is not enough and you want to include my former nobles as well?"
Fang Chen suddenly couldn't laugh or cry: "Your Majesty said nothing, I never thought so."
Luo Ningxin: "It doesn't matter whether you want it or not, but don't let the small lose the big. As long as you can help me completely master this great Yanjiang, I will reward you with any beauty you want! Do you understand?"
Fang Chen almost blurted it out. How about your majesty?
But if he said these words, he would probably have to leave the imperial study room.
I can only express my loyalty quickly.
After bidding farewell to Luo Ningxin, Fang Chen went to the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Works. With His Majesty's golden order, no matter how unhappy the officials in the Ministry of Household Affairs were.
I dare not disobey in any way.
Watching Fang Chen leave, a lieutenant sighed with disdain: "Look at him! How could your Majesty give the imperial order to such a person!"
"Really? I don't know what kind of ecstasy soup this damn eunuch fed to His Majesty!"
"But it doesn't matter. Our Lord Liu's connections are not comparable to that of a dead eunuch. I heard that Lord Liu has become involved with the scholars and students in Wenxuanfang. Do you know what this dead eunuch is doing?"
One person mocked.
Someone answered: "What are you doing?"
The man from before suddenly burst into laughter: "This damn eunuch is leading his men to sweep the streets in Yanghuafang! Hahahaha, you think it's funny or not!"
"Sweeping the streets? Hahaha, sweeping the streets is of no use. I'm just saying that a rootless eunuch, how can he manage the city compared with us who read the books of sages!"
The whole place burst into laughter. Only one person looked at the direction Fang Chen was leaving and took a long time to look away.
Zhao Sen, a member of the household department!
Wenxuanfang.
After working hard day and night, a pavilion was finally built. It is called a pavilion, but it can accommodate hundreds of people.
Among a group of scholars wearing long robes, Liu Yuanqing's face was red and he laughed loudly: "Gentlemen, from now on, this Wenxuan Pavilion will be the teaching place of our Wenxuanfang!"
"Master Liu is so wise!" A scholar quickly flattered him.
The remaining people were not to be outdone.
"Master Liu's move to inspire my writing style is truly a sacred act!"
"Yes, in the future, there will be a place for everyone to talk about scriptures and lectures, and jointly study the ways of saints. This is all thanks to Mr. Liu."
"Gentlemen, I think we can jointly submit a letter and dare to ask Mr. Liu to submit it to His Majesty to express the contribution Mr. Liu has made to our generation of scholars?"
"That's how it should be!"
"I second the motion!"
Listening to everyone's praise, Liu Yuanqing felt proud and smiled slightly: "I feel your thoughts. Don't worry, as long as I, Liu Yuanqing, stay in Wenxuanfang for one day, I will definitely do more good deeds for our Wenxuanfang."
Amid the praise of a group of scholars, Liu Yuanqing called his subordinates and whispered: "I will convey this matter to my mentor, do you understand?"
"Don't worry, my lord, I will definitely convey this to the minister."
Soon, Zhang Yu received the news and nodded with satisfaction.
"Yuan Qing has done a good job. His Majesty attaches great importance to the writing style of our dynasty and started with those scholars. This is a very good move."
The Ministry of Revenue official on the side also echoed, Zhang Yu said: "Kang Liang, I remember that your articles are very well written."
Kang Liang hurriedly said: "How dare you talk about articles in front of your teacher?"
Zhang Yu smiled and said: "There is no need to be modest. Everyone here knows what your talents are. Let's just write an article praising His Majesty."
"When I turn it over to Yuan Qing, I'll just say it was written by the scholars from Wenxuanfang and let people publicize it."
Everyone instantly understood what Zhang Yu meant.
This is to build momentum for Liu Yuanqing.
His Majesty attaches great importance to scholars, and Liu Yuanqing is having a fierce fight with scholars these days.
If another beautiful article were circulated at this time, it would make Luo Ning's heart and dragon's heart happy.
Doesn't this just show that Liu Yuanqing did a good job in Wenxuanfang?
Kang Liang quickly took the order and left.
One person looked at Zhang Yu and asked: "Teacher, should we send someone to Yanghuafang to have a look? Give the dead eunuch some eye drops?"
The person who spoke laughed evilly.
Zhang Yu raised his eyebrows: "I remember that a group of refugees seemed to have been expelled outside the imperial capital a few days ago."
"They escaped from the south. There are quite a few of them. Besides, I heard that there are quite a few people who came to the imperial capital!"
