The Sage of Confucianism and Taoism

Chapter 1667 What is a good official?

"Why, stop talking?" Fang Yun suddenly looked at the officials with a gloomy face.

The officials were so frightened that their expressions suddenly changed, and they did not dare to look directly at Fang Yun.

"Zhifu Yan, please tell me." Fang Yun said.

Yan Xiao has been an official for many years, so he naturally knows that saying the wrong thing at this time is equivalent to being in the wrong team. Agreeing with Fang Yun is tantamount to betraying his colleagues in Baling City, and opposing Fang Yun will mean that his future official career will not be long.

"I'm stupid, I don't know what to say..." Yan Xiao said vaguely.

"Why do you dare to use your head and future as a guarantee, but you just don't dare to live near the workshop like the common people?" After Fang Yun finished speaking, he looked at the officials for a long time, then turned and left with a strong look of disappointment.

"You have never been among the common people, so you will never know how disappointed we are in you." Fang Yun said, disappearing into the night.

The officials present looked at me and I looked at you, but no one dared to speak.

After a long silence, Yan Xiao said: "How should we deal with this matter?"

Dong Wencong sighed and said: "It is easy to satisfy Zhao's trading company, difficult to satisfy the people, and even harder to satisfy Fang Xusheng."

"This matter... will eventually be resolved."

"I think it's better to end it once and for all. Since these people are opposed to it, let them continue to live a life of buying expensive paper."

"This kind of angry behavior was feasible before today. Now that the Governor has known about it, if we do this again, aren't you afraid that he will give us all "lower" evaluations? Once the evaluation is "lower", it will be as minor as Relegation, more importantly, accountability.”

"Fang Xusheng, he can't be like this."

"Others don't dare to say, but he really can't say for sure. Of course, even if he does this, he is still tempering me, and I will definitely get back to it later."

"Sigh...it's a headache."

"The problem is that the Governor insists that I, the Xiangzhou officials, are the most responsible. As for the people's doubts, the safety of the workshop, and the secretly instigated Qingjiang Trading Company, they are not important to him."

"Yes, he is the governor, and he has a high official position that suppresses people to death. We can't argue with him."

"Oh, I don't know whether it is a disaster or a blessing to meet such a governor who cares about the people."

"That's all, that's it for today. Let's discuss it tomorrow."

All the officials left one after another.

The next day, a piece of news exploded in Baling City like a huge firecracker that resounded thousands of miles away, and then spread throughout the Holy Yuan Continent at a very fast speed, becoming a hot topic on the discussion list.

Fang Yun wanted to rebuild the Governor's Palace within three miles of the papermaking workshop.

Fang Yun's courtyard was filled with officials from Baling City. Not only Jing officials, but also some Qing officials came, but most of the Qing officials came to see the fun.

There was a large deck chair in the yard. Fang Yun lay facing the sun with his eyes squinted.

All the officials surrounded Fang Yun.

"Stay away from me, don't block my sunshine." Fang Yun said.

"Sir, please take back your life!"

"My Lord Governor, please think twice. You are the Governor and you cannot be so angry."

"This matter needs to be discussed in the long term, discussed in the long term!"

Many officials were anxious, but Fang Yun ignored him.

Dong Wencong and Fang Shouye stood helplessly not far away, communicating in low voices.

Fang Shouye asked: "Can't we stop the construction of the new Governor's Mansion?"

"He directly issued a document to the governor, ordering the Xiangzhou Engineering Department to re-select a site for construction. How could the people from the Engineering Department dare to disobey?"

"Is there no other way?" Fang Shouye's brows knitted together.

"If there is a way, why should I come here? Alas, no wonder his enemies are afraid of him, and even friends like us are helpless against him."

"If he wasn't like this, he wouldn't be able to become a virtual saint." Fang Shouye looked at Fang Yun helplessly.

Dong Wencong suddenly used his talent to secretly send a message: "By the way, Fang Xusheng borrowed a group of people from me this morning. They are all from the Criminal Division. They are all from the Criminal Division, Si Zhengjia, and the trustworthy old Jingguo people." , not local to Xiangzhou.”

"What a coincidence? He also borrowed five hundred soldiers from me. These soldiers are also from Jiangzhou. Let's put it this way, even if Fang Yun does not have an official seal, once I have a conflict with him, those little bastards will only listen His, not mine. I think he has big things to do."

"I probably guessed what he was going to do." Dong Wencong said.

Fang Shouye was stunned for a moment, thought carefully, and soon showed a look of surprise.

Dong Wencong said: "I'll leave here first and see how it is in Beigongfang District." After that, he left.

In Beigongfang District, thousands of people came to besiege the papermaking workshop as usual, just like yesterday. But not long after, everyone learned that Fang Yun was going to build the Governor's Palace near the papermaking workshop.

At the same time, the magistrate of Baling City came here in person and tried his best to persuade. He also said that the reason why Fang Xusheng built the Governor's Palace nearby was because he had visited here privately incognito, in order to dispel the doubts of the people.

Fang Yun's literary reputation was at the height of his popularity, and coupled with the sincerity of these officials, the people were all moved by Fang Yun.

"Damn it, every one of the officials in Xiangzhou, even if they talk about breaking the sky, I don't believe a word of it. But Fang Xusheng is different! If for no other reason than Fang Xusheng dares to build the Governor's Mansion nearby, I will Submit him! Folks in Da'ao Village, if you regard me, Liu Sanzi, as a person, just listen to me and go back to the village! Let's put it this way, since Fang Xusheng knows about it and solves it himself, then this matter is not a problem! "

"Yeah! Look at Fang Xusheng. He moved the Governor's Mansion directly here without saying a word. This is to tell us that this papermaking workshop is fine! It's not like those bullshit officials who took the salary of Da Jingguo and were beaten by us You can’t even solve the problem of the workshop! To put it bluntly, even if something happens to the workshop in the future, I won’t blame Fang Xusheng, because he is a man and shares the joys and sorrows with us people!”

"This is what a parent official is, and this is what it means to love the people like children! Compared with him, those people in Xiangzhou are nothing like officials. They are just a bunch of monstrous savages who eat people without spitting out their bones!"

"Hehe, I see, the officials in Xiangzhou are dumbfounded. As long as there is no problem with the papermaking workshop, if there is a problem, it will be equivalent to harming Fang Xusheng. Even if Fang Xusheng can spare them, can the Queen Mother forgive them? Even the Queen Mother Can the Holy Court forgive me? Even if the Holy Court can forgive me, I can't spare those dog officials!"

"Yes! If there is something wrong with Fang Xusheng, we won't just go to the streets, we will go to the houses and dig up their ancestral graves!"

"Since Fang Xusheng came forward, I have to give him this face! Let's go back to town!"

"Walk……"

Many people seemed not to care at all that there would be problems in the papermaking workshop and simply turned around and left.

Suddenly, someone shouted: "Folks, don't leave! Maybe Fang Xusheng is working with Baling City officials to deceive us! Fang Xusheng is a governor and an official. Officials protect each other, and officials may give up themselves for the sake of the people. Is there a future? Dear blind daters, listen to me...ah..."

While the man was speaking, he saw Liu Sanzi holding a stone and hitting him on the head with a bang, knocking him unconscious.

Liu Sanzi spat at the man and said, "I said, everyone who treats me, Liu Sanzi, as a person should go home. Are you looking down on me? Who else!"

No one objected anymore.

"Let's go!" Thousands of people scattered and left, their footsteps extremely relaxed.

Not far away, a carriage was parked.

Dong Wencong looked at the people through the curtains, sighed heavily, and looked extremely complicated.
