The Sage of Confucianism and Taoism

With a warm smile on his face, Fang Yun slowly got off the boat, as if he had no idea that the officials and businessmen in front of him were his enemies.

And everyone opposite Fang Yun was the same, all with extremely kind smiles. If you just looked at their expressions, you would think that they regarded Fang Yun as a close relative.

Walking closer, Fang Yun suppressed the nausea in his heart, smiled and said with a cupped hand: "I have met the folks in Ning'an County. From today on, I am a member of Ning'an County like you. I am no longer Fang Xusheng, but You are the magistrate and leader of this county, and I will rely on you all from now on."

"In our hearts, you will always be the unparalleled Sage Fangxu." An elder smiled.

"When Fang Xusheng comes to Ning'an County, Ning'an will be peaceful forever. We rely on you!"

"Yes, if you come, my teachings in Ning'an will definitely flourish! I even went to your library yesterday."

Everyone praised him one after another.

Fang Yun repeatedly humbled himself. At first he only said polite words, and then he told everyone not to praise him, but those people were very enthusiastic and kept on talking.

When the family members and private soldiers behind Fang Yun had completely disembarked, and even the carriage loaded with books and household items had disembarked, they still kept talking.

I saw a middle-aged man in Hanlin uniform took a step forward and said with a smile: "You guys have said enough, let me introduce them one by one to Fang Xusheng."

Everyone shut up in unison.

Fang Yun continued to smile without any change, Ao Huang just blinked, and Yang Yuhuan didn't think much about it either, but felt a little strange.

However, the expressions of Su Xiaoxiao and many scholars behind Fang Yun changed slightly, because this was an invisible threat. Fang Yun talked for a long time, but no one listened, but Na Hanlin stopped everyone with one sentence.

Fang Yun looked at the Hanlin with a smile and said: "If what I guess is correct, you are Sir Geng Gegeng, the director of the Trilateral Transport Department, right? Thanks to you for arranging food, grass and ordnance in the rear, otherwise the soldiers on the front line would not be able to do anything for a day." "Safe."

However, several scholars behind Fang Yun snorted slightly. It was because of Geng Ge's secret operation that Jingguo's left army was defeated last year, causing countless casualties.

No one, whether it was Fang Yun, Geng Ge or the officials in Ning'an City, seemed to hear the cold snorts of those scholars.

Geng Ge said with a smile: "It is truly a supreme honor for me to be highly praised by Sage Fangxu. Come, let me introduce you to everyone present one by one."

Geng Ge looked around at everyone, then pointed to an old Hanlin and said: "This is Beimang General Ding Haosheng of the Beimang Army."

This old Hanlin seemed to be over seventy years old, but he was still strong and physically strong, but his hair was very white.

Fang Yun's expression became serious. He did not hand over his hands casually, but bowed respectfully: "Student Fang Yun, I have met Old General Ding. Every time I read about the Battle of Langshan, I feel respectful. If you hadn't broken through the Imperial Academy on the spot, If you use the Jade Blood Core to injure one of the Wolf Barbarian King's legs, the entire army of 30,000 will be wiped out. You have met Old General Ding together."

"I've met General Ding..."

Everyone sent greetings.

Yang Yuhuan, Su Xiaoxiao and the maid immediately bent down and bowed their knees to do the robe ceremony. Nunu and Ao Huang bowed together like scholars, with a serious look, especially well-behaved and cute.

Ding Haosheng looked resolute and was a mature and steady man, but when he saw this scene, a fleeting blush appeared on his face.

Geng Ge on the side blinked, but at the moment he blinked, a sharp look flashed in his eyes.

Ding Haosheng said hurriedly: "Fang Xusheng defeated the last general. That was just the responsibility of the last general. It is not a great achievement. Your legendary battle poems are a great achievement that is unparalleled in the world."

Geng Ge smiled and said: "Look, Brother Ding can't help it anymore. After entering the city, you two can talk by candlelight at night, but now let me introduce the second person. This is Director Pang of the Transportation Department , in the Transfer Department..."

Next, Geng Ge introduced everyone present one by one according to their status and literary status.

He first introduced the Jinshi present. Due to the extremely important location of Ning'an County, the officials here tend to have higher academic qualifications or grades than those in ordinary counties.

Among the officials in Ji County, Fang Yun's hometown, only the county magistrate is a Jinshi, and the others are scholars at or below Juren level.

This Ning'an County is different. Not only the president of the County Academy of Literature is a Jinshi, but also the county's head catcher is a Jinshi. Apart from the capital, Ning'an County is the only place like this.

After Geng Ge introduced some officials from the Transportation Department, Beimang Army and County Government, he began to introduce the local big businessmen and powerful people to Fang Yun.

Although Ning'an County is only a small county, it has two famous families and seven famous families. An ordinary mansion is nothing more than this. Moreover, these two famous families and the seven famous families are inextricably related to the wealthy families in the capital.

As for those big businessmen, they all hold civil positions. They are members of truly wealthy families and are fully responsible for everything their families do in Ning'an County.

Except for Geng Ge of the Transportation Department and Ding Haosheng of the Beimang Army, these big businessmen have the highest actual status.

Fang Yun secretly thought that it was a pity that these businessmen were actually very talented, otherwise they would not be able to stand alone in Ning'an, but...these big businessmen were naturally close to the Zajia family, because Lu Buwei, the first half-sage of the Zajia family, was the number one businessman in the Warring States Period. All the allusions are related to Lu Buwei.

These businessmen all have the same ambition as Lu Buwei, using the king as a commodity in exchange for controlling the power of the world!

Therefore, these big businessmen are very close to the left prime minister and the Zong family.

After introducing the high-status people here, Geng Ge smiled and said: "It is truly a blessing for us to have Fang Xusheng come to Ning'an. I can't express my feelings in my heart. I am willing to drive my whip and horse to see you into Ning'an City!" "

Not only Fang Yun and his private soldiers and scholars were shocked, but even many people in Ning'an County were surprised. A Hanlin actually drove the carriage for Fang Yun. This was a treatment that even the monarch did not deserve.

He barely had the title of virtual saint, but when a junior Jinshi was taking the palace examination, an old Hanlin drove the carriage for him. It would not be good to spread it out anyway.

Fang Yun did not expect that there was a plan here.

It was not important whether the Hanlin driving the carriage would damage his literary reputation. What was important was that once Geng Ge did this, it would be seen by the people of the whole county, and they would think that Geng Ge was respectful to Fang Yun. If there was any conflict in the future, it would be disadvantageous to Fang Yun.

The old Hanlin drove the carriage for you, what else do you want?

However, Fang Yun thought of a deeper level.

The position of virtual saint, let alone a mere Hanlin, even if the left prime minister or even the four prime ministers joined forces, could not suppress Fang Yun's literary reputation. Since it can't be suppressed, then continue to praise it! Put Fang Yun on a high pedestal, completely cut off the connection with the grassroots people, and undermine Fang Yun's power. If he is attacked in other ways, a strong contrast will continue to form, and the consequences will be disastrous.

"No, no! How can a student be so favored by the old gentleman." Fang Yun stepped forward and blocked Geng Ge.

Geng Ge said righteously: "This is the sincerity of this subordinate! Fang Xusheng has served the country and the people. Even if this subordinate is willing to repay him, he cannot repay him. Driving a horse with a whip is a trivial matter."
