The Sage of Confucianism and Taoism

Chapter 1809 Retrospective Memory

Fang Yun really wanted Yang Yuhuan to return to Xiangzhou immediately, but now Yang Yuhuan is no longer the woman who never leaves the house, but an important figure in the Women's Society. Together with Su Xiaoxiao, she helps Fang Yun supervise the Women's Society and helps During the development of the Women's Society, he also studied in the Women's Society, reading the Four Books and Five Classics, and learning piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.

Although Yang Yuhuan was busy in Kongcheng and had to finish his own work before leaving, his heart had already flown to Fang Yun.

Fang Yun is a hundred times busier than Yang Yuhuan. He has to deal with a lot of government affairs every day and has been practicing at night.

Study books from Qishu Tiandi, read books from Shengyuan Continent, practice verbal swordsmanship and war poetry, compose classics, and practice Yaoqin. At the same time, he continues to write "History of Ancient Demons" and is also sorting out some medical books, art of war, and other books from various schools. knowledge.

Not only that, Fang Yun spends half an hour every day reading almost all the articles and replies on the discussion list, keeping abreast of all the information about the human race. He cannot lag behind this era and cannot fall into self-isolation.

One after another, big news broke in Xiangzhou.

Every three days, the state government, the judicial department and the criminal department will jointly issue documents to various places and post them on the notice board.

The contents of these documents are surprisingly similar. They all list the criminal evidence of a certain official, and these officials are of high rank, at least seventh grade, with at least the title of Juren, and even Hanlin.

The entire official atmosphere in Xiangzhou has undergone subtle changes, but people from all over the country are rushing to tell each other, excitedly discussing or spreading the news about the arrest of high officials.

As September approached, Yang Yuhuan, Nunu, Su Xiaoxiao, Ao Huang and others arrived in Baling City, moved to the Governor's Mansion with Fang Yun, and officially settled in Baling.

With Fang Yun's support, Yang Yuhuan and Su Xiaoxiao established a girls' school with the size of an academy in Baling City.

Nunu has been pestering Fang Yun these days, but Ao Huang is different. Every day he goes to Dongting Lake or the Yangtze River to play wildly. Fang Yun simply named him "Admiral of the Xiangzhou Demon Army" and gave him jurisdiction over all the water monsters nearby. , and responsible for training them.

Ao Huang likes his current status very much. He goes out early and comes back late every day, having a great time.

Fang Yun's private soldiers have all arrived in Xiangzhou and settled in Baling City.

Just after September, Fang Yun saw that the time was right and began to announce the rectification of Xiangzhou's officialdom.

This is the first time that Fang Yun is in charge of a state instead of a county.

A county is only the size of a palm, and Fang Yun can cover everything, but a state has several prefectures and nearly a hundred counties. Unless Fang Yun does not practice or study, he may be able to fully control it by spending all his time on it. Otherwise, he must Delegate power and run the bureaucracy as a whole, not yourself.

Throughout history, all those who thought they had absolute control over officials would be ridiculed by reality and future generations.

In this rectification movement, Fang Yun's first step is to rectify the writing style of the yamen, requiring all yamen to gradually use the popular style of writing formulated by the "Min Bao", and strive to fully implement the popular style of writing within two years. At the same time, Fang Yun formulated reasonable specifications for the format, content, length, etc. of documents, which greatly saved officials' time.

After the order to rectify the writing style was issued, except for a few die-hards who complained, most of the officials responsible for writing documents cheered. They preferred to use faster and simpler vulgar characters.

There was no real resistance to rectifying the style of writing, and Xiangzhou officials found that Fang Yun's innovation had not shaken their own interests so far, and no one stood up to oppose it, so the atmosphere in Xiangzhou's officialdom eased.

As September 15th approaches, even fortune has slowed down.

September 15th is the day of the National People's Congress Examination.

Different from usual, due to the constant changes in Wenquxing in recent years, the number of people participating in the human race examination has greatly increased.

In Xiangzhou, there were 70,000 scholars participating in the imperial examination this year, while in the year of Fang Yun's imperial examination, the number of scholars participating in the imperial examination in Panjing State was only over 30,000.

This was Fang Yun's first time to host an examination, so he went to Balingcheng Academy of Literature early in the morning to prepare.

When the time came, Fang Yun led the scholar candidates who entered the examination room to pay homage to the saints. After the candidates entered the examination room, Fang Yun chatted with other officials in the liberal arts college.

Everyone talked about the north and south, but they mainly talked about civil or political affairs in Xiangzhou.

The examination is very important. The official seals of all participants are isolated from the outside world, even Fang Yun. However, Fang Yun is better than others. He can browse the essay list, but cannot post or reply to articles.

The candidates have to take the exam for three days, and Fang Yun and everyone have to stay here for three days.

At lunch time, all the officials went to the dining room to have a meal together.

Just halfway through eating, Fang Yun suddenly turned to look at the six servants dining in the corner.

The rest of the people also looked at the six guards, and the dining room suddenly became quiet.

The six officers quickly realized that Xu Sheng was looking at them. They were so frightened that they put down their bowls and chopsticks and hurriedly stood up. They looked at Fang Yun in panic and were at a loss.

Fang Yun said kindly, "You guys, come here."

The six guards looked at each other and slowly walked toward Fang Yun. It wasn't that they didn't want to walk fast, but their legs were weak and they couldn't walk fast. One of them was timid and almost cried from fear.

The atmosphere in the dining room was very depressing.

When the six officers came closer, Fang Yun smiled slightly and said, "Don't be nervous, it's nothing serious. I just heard you discuss the matter in today's examination room. You said that two students were turned away because of problems with the card test." ?”

The six officers secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and the oldest officer held up his hand and said: "To the Governor, this is indeed the case. The test cards for the two of them were not sent by the government, but were stolen by someone. They were fake test cards. "

"This kind of thing seems to be rare." Fang Yun said.

Dong Wencong on the side said: "It is indeed rare, but when I was taking the exam, I encountered someone whose exam card was swapped, which prevented him from entering the exam room."

Fang Yun asked the officer: "What else do you know about the exam card being swapped?"

The officer hurriedly replied: "Since it was not intentional damage to the exam card or cheating, we just let the two people leave. The two stood not far from the door and discussed for a while. They seemed to suspect that it was done by a classmate, and they quickly found that person, but that person just entered the exam room. The two did not dare to rush into the exam room and could only leave. The younger one left crying."

"Well." Fang Yun said, and suddenly closed his eyes, and the talent surged around him. In front of him appeared a history book that historians and scholars could form, which was a bamboo slip.

The officials in the dining room were stunned, and then some older or higher-ranking people showed horror, especially Dong Wencong, who opened his mouth in a very unpresentable way.

After a few breaths, Fang Yun opened his eyes, nodded, and said, "I know, I did a good job, you six go back."

The six officers were relieved and went back happily. Being praised by the Void Saint was enough for them to show off for the rest of their lives.

Dong Wencong asked in disbelief: "Governor, are you recalling your memory?"

"That's right." Fang Yun smiled.

Everyone present looked at Fang Yun in surprise. That was an ability only great scholars had. They didn't expect Fang Yun to be a university scholar.

A person will encounter all kinds of complicated information, most of which are useless, so they will instinctively ignore a lot of information. For example, when walking on the road, you can see everyone's face clearly, but no one will remember the faces of strangers, and it will be impossible to use them in the future.

Fang Yun has the ability to recall memory. Even after several months, as long as he needs it, he can find everyone he has met from the depths of his memory at any time, even if he has never deliberately remembered it before, as long as he has been within his sight, he can find it.
