The Sage of Confucianism and Taoism

"That's good. You have been in Ning'an for many years and have been the owner of a dyeing workshop. What do you think of the dyeing workshop?" Fang Yun asked.

"What... do you think of the dyeing workshop?" Boss Liang asked cautiously.

Fang Yun laughed and said: "I have no opinion on the dyeing workshop, so I let you talk about it. First talk about the future direction of the dyeing workshop, then talk about the shortcomings of the dyeing workshop, and finally talk about why the county-owned workshops are not as profitable as private factories. Why are we constantly forced to sell?”

Leader Liang asked in confusion: "You... really want to hear this?"

"Then what do you think I want to hear?" Fang Yun smiled.

Liang Fangzhu did not answer immediately. In his opinion, Fang Yun suddenly arrested a large number of Fangzhu this time, probably to eliminate dissidents, target Ji Zhibai, and even point his sword at Liushan.

Even the stupidest people in Ning'an City know that whether it is a county-owned workshop or a royal workshop, they are all banks where the powerful can take money at will. The backgrounds of these workshop owners are too complicated.

The owner of Liangfang thought for a moment and said: "Xiaguan has been in charge of the dyeing workshop for two years, so let me tell you something. The situation of the dyeing workshop is much better than before. Now the annual profit is almost five times what it was before I took charge! Of course, this is mainly due to the monarch, the queen mother and the The credit of the cabinet..."

"I want to hear the truth!" The smile on Fang Yun's face disappeared.

Liang Fangzhu was shocked, gritted his teeth and said: "Since the county magistrate said so, I can only tell the truth. What is the future of the dyeing workshop? The dyeing workshop not only needs institutions, but also dyes. It seems simple but is actually very difficult, but it happens to be difficult. It is very profitable. The lower official is old and is about to step down as the owner of the dyeing workshop. Within three years, the dyeing workshop will be sold at a low price due to insufficient profits. "

"Yeah." Fang Yun's face was expressionless.

Ao Huang was puzzled. The efficiency of the dyeing workshop was obviously very good. Why would problems arise as soon as the owner of the workshop Liang resigned? Why was it sold cheaply? Although Ao Huang couldn't figure out the key, he realized that the word "sale at a low price" has a lot of knowledge.

"As for the defects of the dyeing workshop, I think it is not in the organization, but in the dyes and weaving and dyeing techniques..."

Next, Boss Liang seemed to have completely forgotten his previous thoughts and kept talking about matters related to the dyeing workshop. In the end, even when Manager Zhao came, he could only wait outside.

Fang Yun listened carefully and occasionally interrupted to ask Mr. Liang to explain, and he became more and more familiar with the dyeing shop.

The two chatted for a full hour, and Fang Yun nodded and said: "It seems that Master Liang is indeed good at weaving and dyeing and is loyal to his duties. As for the arrangement of relatives and friends to the dyeing workshop and the process of getting the owner, it is not a big deal. "

Liang Fangzhu's body trembled, and a look of panic appeared in his eyes. He realized that the other party was a ruthless official who would arrest anyone in succession. Did this sentence have any deeper meaning?

Fang Yun then said: "I have been busy recently, and some arrangements may have to be delayed. However, within a month, I will ask someone from the Ministry of Industry to arrange your affairs. Do you like to be an official, or would you like to be a rich man?"

Liang Fangzhu was stunned, but he did not dare to hide anything, and subconsciously said: "The official is already old. Even if he becomes an official, he has no future. It is better to be a rich man."

"Very good. Then I will ask the Ministry of Industry to draw up a ten-year employment document with you, which will not only allow you to continue to be the owner of the dyeing workshop, but also give you a certain bonus. Currently, it is tentatively planned to award you 10% of the bonus of the dyeing workshop every year."

"Ah?" Fangzhu Liang couldn't help but whisper.

"Ah?" Ao Huang also shouted.

As for the surrounding government officials and the people waiting for the interview outside the door, they were all dumbfounded. How could an old boy who did not have much real power suddenly get a 10% bonus from the dyeing workshop when he would have been replaced by someone else?

The dyeing workshop headed by Liang Fang is not small. With the previous wages, the income of the owner Liang Fang in the next year will be at least two hundred taels of silver, which is equivalent to the income of a small workshop for half a year!

Fang Yun smiled and said: "In view of the fact that Master Liang has made great achievements in managing the dyeing workshop, but the rewards have not kept up, the county will reward Master Liang with three hundred taels of silver and apply for a title from the Ministry of Rites."

Everyone inside and outside the county government was even more surprised.

The reward of three hundred taels of silver is shocking enough, but applying for a title from the Ministry of Rites is even more unimaginable!

Although Zhao Yong also had the title of a country boy at the lowest level, it was because his grandfather, father and he had served King Qingyang for three generations, and King Qingyang always treated his loyal subordinates favorably. title.

To ordinary children and even scholars, Zhao Yong is like a master!

But Boss Liang is just an ordinary boy. The reason why he became the boss is because he is experienced in dealing with things. He has known Tao Dingnian, the county prime minister, for many years and gave him some money. Even Fang Yun hinted that he knew this before.

The dyeing workshop was not an oil and water workshop before, so Master Liang could naturally be the one to be the one, but he turned waste into treasure, which naturally aroused the jealousy of others, and he would be transferred soon.

But at the last moment, Fang Yun not only allowed him to continue to be the owner of the workshop, not only raised his salary, but also petitioned for him to be knighted?

Even if you are the lowest country boy, that is still a title, and it is a great event to honor your ancestors!

Everyone suddenly realized that Fang Yun, like King Qingyang, was also in a state of chaos! And it’s a day with unlimited potential!

"How can I be so virtuous as an old man... How can I be so virtuous..." Fangzhu Liang was so excited that he couldn't speak. The sixty-year-old man actually had red circles in his eyes.

"You deserve this reward for your virtue and ability. Well, the interview with you is over. The bosses who are now controlled by the county government may be a little bit upset. You can take my command arrow and go for a walk to appease them." Fang Yun said, and ordered the servant to hand the command arrow to Master Liang.

Of course, Fangzhu Liang understood Fang Yun's intention, and immediately held his head high and said, "I have your order!" After saying that, the old man turned and left the hall with unconcealable pride on his face.

Some officers outside quietly left to inform the officials who did not come, because this matter was too important!

In the chief bookkeeper's room, Shen Ming put the tea cup aside, looked at the yamen servant in front of him, frowned and asked, "Fang Yun already knew that Mr. Liang had followed Tao Dingnian's path, and had sent his relatives to the dyeing shop, but he didn't If they are not investigated, they will be rewarded or even... sealed?"

"Yes."

"But, he wants to kill Zhao Yong or the little prince?"

"It seems that I don't want to be lenient."

"This idiot! He actually gave benefits to a powerless old boy, but he wanted to offend King Qingyang! King Qingyang is the closest to King Kang. After all, they are relatives of the emperor and the Zhao family. If he dares to touch his luck, King Qingyang will definitely make the kings of the Zhao family angry! "Go down."

"yes."

After the officer left, Shen Ming immediately sent a message to Ji Zhibai.

"Master Ji, the guilty officer is asking you to plead guilty again. This time I will not say anything unnecessary, only what happened specifically. The thing is like this..."

Not long after, Ji Zhibai sent a message and asked, "Did you really not deceive this time?"

"No deception, no deception!"

"good."

"Sir Ji, Fang Yun is so arrogant and has touched the interests of wealthy families, relatives of the emperor, and a large number of officials. Why haven't you heard of anyone making trouble in the capital?"

"It was expected that the Legalist doctors and others would help Fang Yun speak, but for some reason the Gong family also came forward, which made the wealthy families dare not act rashly. The wealthy families did not move, and the royal relatives and officials who dared to speak randomly ? At most, those dandy boys say something bad about Fang Yun. "

"Oh, it's really weird. It could have caused Fang Yun a big fall..."
