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

Chang'an City is such a big city, after being promoted here for a few days, Fang Yuan has a feeling that he can't control himself, very irritable.

"Fang Yuan, you can actually book the fifth floor?!"

A surprised voice suddenly sounded from the direction of the stairs.

A middle-aged man a few years older than Fang Yuan came up from below.

He was dressed plainly, neither plain nor pompous, and had a goatee.

"Qin Fangben, you are here."

Fang Yuan was pulled back to reality, and turned to welcome the visitor.

Qin Fangben, Wailang, a member of the Ministry of Officials' Examination Department, has an official rank of six ranks.

The Ministry of Officials Examination and Merit Department is a special department responsible for the performance appraisal of officials.

Because of the performance appraisal, it is possible to check the detailed work of officials and even understand their daily life.

It is one of Fang Yuan's relationships in Chang'an City, and also an official of the official department who went to Wuling County to assess Fang Yuan.

In Wuling County before, Fang Yuan bought him at a high price in order to stay in Wuling County for two more years, and later became a beneficial friend.

Fang Yuan valued his well-informed information in the official department, while he valued Fang Yuan's management methods, and Fang Yuan's future might have a bright future.

"Fang Yuan, you are really powerful!"

"In a few years, it has been promoted from a seventh-rank to a fifth-rank!"

"I even know a certain relative of the emperor, so I decided on such a good position!"

Qin Fangben looked at Fang Yuan and sighed with eyes full.

When Wuling County inspected Fang Yuan, he and Fang Yuan were also at the seventh rank.

In the blink of an eye, he had only started from the sixth rank, and Fang Yuan was already on the fifth rank.

Such a big change in status in just a few years is really unpredictable.

"It's just luck."

"You're not bad now, meritorious service officer Wairo!"

Fang Yuan shook his head and smiled.

Invite the other person to sit down and chat while eating.

The food and drink are ready and ready to serve at any time.

"Only from the sixth grade, it is much worse than you."

Qin Fangben waved his hand and sighed.

He was very happy when he rose from the seventh rank to the sixth rank, and was promoted to two ranks in a few years.

But compared with Fang Yuan, that is too much difference, not happy at all.

Well, everyone is equally poor, and you suddenly become rich, how can I be happy?

Qin Fangben was even a little cautious, after all Fang Yuan's official rank was much higher than his, but he didn't show it too much.

"Is it possible to go further?"

Fang Yuan toasted him, said in a deep voice.

Qin Fangben's position in the examination department is very important.

Responsible for assessing the virtues and deeds of officials' promotion and promotion.

Although it is from the sixth grade, the contacts are all confidential.

He has read many officials' materials and knows a lot.

He has given Fang Yuan a lot of information over the years, all of which are relatively confidential.

"It's difficult, unless there is a lot of money to open up relationships."

"But my monthly salary is only that, and it's impossible for my family to support me."

Qin Fangben drank a cup, shook his head and sighed.

As he spoke, he stroked his goatee, his eyes somewhat closed.

Qin Fang was not born as an ordinary person, but also from an aristocratic family, but a small one.

He is still an offshoot at home, and the family cannot have too many resources to support him, so he can only rely on his own efforts.

It is very difficult to work hard on your own, and it is impossible to advance to another level in three to five years, and it may even take longer.

"How much?"

Fang Yuan poured him wine and asked casually.

"Thirty to fifty."

Qin Fangben was a little powerless to say.

Based on his monthly salary, it would take three to five years to get thirty or fifty.

But he still has to pay for his family's expenses, and it's actually impossible to get that money together in three to five years.

"Go and find out how much it costs, I'll lend it to you!"

Fang Yuan pondered for a moment, and said seriously.

There is still some money in the house, and it can still live for everyone in the house.

Liaozhou is escorting the bandits over here, and they are also bringing in the profits they just made in Liaozhou.

Coupled with the fact that the business group in Chang'an City is about to open, Fang Yuan will soon have money in his account, there will be no shortage of money, it will only increase.

"You, what did you say?"

Qin Fangben exclaimed.

The hand holding the wine trembled and spilled the wine.

He looked at Fang Yuan in amazement, eyes filled with disbelief.

"I said I would lend you."

Fang Yuan smiled lightly.

He slammed Qin Fangben's wine glass lightly, and then drank.

Qin Fangben looked at Fang Yuan in shock, had a drink with Fang Yuan, and poured several more glasses.

After drinking a few glasses of wine, Qin Fangben finally recovered a lot and was no longer so shocked.

"Thank you!"

"These documents are yours!"

"If you have an assignment in the future, you are welcome!"

Qin Fangben took a deep breath and said in a deep voice.

He took out a thin document from his pocket and handed it to Fang Yuan.

Don't look at the data sheet, but every piece of information in it is confidential and priceless.

"You don't have to be so polite, we are partners!"

Fang Yuan took the information and said with a smile.

He came to Qin Fang this time to ask for these confidential information.

They are all the materials of the important ministers of the imperial court, and many of them are the black history of the ministers.

When meeting with Qin Fangben, Fang Yuan was not sure if he would really bring these materials to him.

After all, if this kind of information is leaked, for the person concerned, not only will he be dismissed, but he may also be imprisoned.

"Good, partner!"

Qin Fangben laughed.

He just regards Fang Yuan as a partner, and he has helped Fang Yuan many times in these years.

It is also because Fang Yuan is regarded as a partner that he brought these confidential information to see if it is suitable, and then decide whether to hand it over to Fang Yuan.

This kind of confidential information might be able to threaten some ministers, but Qin Fang didn't dare to use it. His status is not enough, and if he uses it, he may not see the sun of tomorrow.

As for whether Fang Yuan uses it or not, that is Fang Yuan's business, and Fang Yuan can go directly to see the emperor, which is incomparable to him.

"In the future, Chang'an City may not be very stable."

"If you are free, help me keep an eye on Bishamon's situation."

Fang Yuan accepted the information and reminded.

"Bishamon... your focus is terrible."

"Although you are now an order of Chang'an, I still suggest that you keep your hands off these matters."

Qin Fangben was taken aback for a moment, and then reminded.

His official position is sensitive, and he also knows something about Bishamon.

"Already in it."

"I can only say try not to participate."

Fang Yuan sighed.

Some things are not what you want.

Already involved, I can only say to protect myself as much as possible.

Otherwise, he would not want to get those secrets from Qin Fangben.

"Okay, you pay attention to safety."

"Special reminder, don't check on Concubine Zheng."

Qin Fangben looked around and whispered.

Even in the private room, he was worried about being heard by others.

"Concubine Zheng?"

Fang Yuan was a little puzzled.

The emperor does not seem to have a concubine named Zheng.

And why does this Concubine Zheng feel like she is talking about Zheng Guanyin?

"It's Zheng Guanyin, the widow of the Crown Prince Yin, what we say in private."

"Your Majesty and Zheng Guanyin...you understand what I mean?"

Qin Fang didn't say anything clearly.

But Fang Yuan already understood what he meant.

No wonder Li Daozong mentioned that Zheng Guanyin looked a little weird not long ago.

It turns out that there are still these things here, and it is normal not to investigate her about Bishamon.

The two chatted a lot, about things in Chang'an City, and about Fang Yuan's affairs outside Chang'an City.

It seems like a friend I haven't seen for a long time, laughing loudly or obscenely from time to time.

Suddenly, there was a burst of noise downstairs, Fang Yuan vaguely heard someone calling Ma Zhou.

So curious, I walked to the balcony and looked downstairs.

"Walk around, what are you doing here if you don't have money?"

"Our Yipinxiang restaurant is not for people like you to come, so hurry up!"

"Hahaha, this Ma Zhou claims to be talented, and what he said is quite reasonable, but he dare not take the imperial examination. I'm afraid it will be difficult to cheat for food and drink in the future."

The waiter in the downstairs shop chases customers.

Some dignitaries watching the play talked a lot.

A scruffy middle-aged man a few years older than Fang Yuan was kicked out of Yipinxiang Restaurant.
