Yuan Fang sat down by himself, poured himself a cup of tea, took a sip, and looked around boredly. After a while, Yang Xing read the folds, carefully reviewed each one and gave his own opinions and decisions, and beckoned the little eunuch to send the folds to a special person to deal with, then he stretched his waist, sat down beside Yuan Fang, picked up Yuan Fang's tea, took a sip and said, "Boss, you can make me wait." ”

Yuan Fang rolled his eyes and said: "If you are in a hurry, let people call me, I woke up this night and only knew that you were looking for me, no, I rushed over without even eating, by the way, what is the matter?" In such a hurry? ”

Yang Xing instructed the little eunuch to prepare lunch and waved away others, and then he said: "Actually, there is nothing else, it's still a matter of scientific examination, you don't know, since the news of the addition of subjects came out, I haven't been born in peace, before you came, a few scholars were still grinding with me here, so I had to take back my life, and those candidates also had a lot of opinions." ”

Yuan Fang rolled his eyes and said: "Reform, there will definitely be pressure, those old scholars and candidates are conformist, saying that they are pedantic or conservative, anyway, they are so fiercely opposed, they are simply not adaptable, it's okay, you don't have to worry, everyone will get used to it after a long time." ”

Yang Xing said with a bitter face: "But I've been annoyed to death by them for the past few days, boss, is there any way?" ”

Yuan Fang thought for a while and said: "I think those guys are idle, just find something to do for them so that they don't have time to make trouble with you, so if you really can't stand it, you can get another official assessment or something, well, just say that you want to re-evaluate the knowledge of officials, and then readjust the existing official positions and positions according to their achievements." ”

Yang Xing was taken aback: "Damn, boss, can this method work?" Just adding the subjects of the scientific examination and those old pedants have already made a fuss, if they are assessed again, they will not give me a death ambition? ”

Yuan Fang smiled and said, "Maybe someone will make trouble, but as long as you hold on and persist in doing so, I guarantee that it won't be a few days before those old guys will be honest." ”

Yang Xing was puzzled and asked, "Why?" ”

Yuan Fang shrugged: "It's very simple, what do those old guys value the most?" ”

Yang Xing replied tentatively: "Knowledge? ”

Yuan Fang shook his head, patted his cheeks and said: "It's face, to put it bluntly, it's face, you think, no one knows how many of their real talents and learning, but they are all in high positions for many years, if you do this, if their assessment results are not as good as those young people, their old faces will be lost, and if they are deprived of their current positions, it is estimated that they will really make trouble." ”

Yang Xing's face changed and changed: "Boss, although those old guys are very hateful, how can they be said that they are also old ministers of the DPRK and China, so many years of loyalty to the empire, even if there is no merit, there is hard work, isn't it not good to do this?" ”

Yuan Fang pointed at Yang Xing and said: "I knew you would say that, don't worry, I'm not so lacking in morality, isn't it just face, you can just give them face when the time comes." ”

Yang Xing asked blankly: "How to give face?" ”

Yuan Fang whispered: "When the time comes, you first put forward the official assessment according to what I just said, and wait for those old guys to make trouble twice, let them know that your determination will not change, they will honestly hide at home to review, and when the assessment is about to come, you will tell them that you absolutely trust their ability, and do not use them to participate in the assessment but send them to invigilate the examination, so that they don't have to worry about losing face and losing their status, and they have to thank you for knowing how to make good use of people, so that they have something to do, and they will have no time to bother you, It can also test the real talents of the officials through this assessment, killing two birds with one stone, and getting the best of both worlds. ”

Yang Xing suddenly realized, admired and said: "You are still the boss, you are amazing, give a stick first and then a sweet date, our business is done, they still have to accept our love, boss, you are really insidious." Yuan Fang rolled his eyes and said, "Are you praising me or hurting me?" ”

Yang Xing smiled, scratched his head and asked, "By the way, boss, what's going on with that foggy stone mine you talked about a few days ago?" It's been too busy these days for me to ask. ”

Yuan Fang was stunned: "Is the fog stone mine sealed?" ”

Yang Xing nodded and said, "Well, I sent two forbidden troops from the legion to guard it." ”

Yuan Fang breathed a sigh of relief and said: "That's good, by the way, this matter must be kept as secret as possible, that thing is the key to our new weapon, by the way, wait until you send someone to go to the dark night, let them contact the intelligence personnel in various places, and see if there are any fog stones in other places, especially the intelligence personnel lurking in other countries, they must be notified, and they must be kept as secret as possible." Yang Xing saw that Yuan Fang said so solemnly, and immediately became interested, looking at Yuan Fang with blank eyes, waiting for his answer.

The voice of the little eunuch sounded outside the door: "Your Majesty, lunch is ready." ”

Yang got up and pulled Yuan Fang to the door: "Let's go, let's talk while eating." Yuan Fang didn't eat breakfast, and now he was so hungry that his stomach was growling, so he followed Yuan Fang out of the left study to have lunch.

As soon as he got out of the study, Yuan Fang found that Yu Jingqiu and the girls waiting outside the door were looking at him with blank eyes, Yuan Fang was still inexplicable at first, but after thinking of what he promised them before, Yuan Fang slapped his head fiercely, and hurriedly said to Yang Xing: "By the way, you are stable now, and it is not a big deal for Yu Jingqiu and them to stay here, or let them all go to me, and help me run errands and clean up or something." "Yuan Fang knows very well that if he doesn't do this today, he will definitely not have his own good fruit to eat after he goes back.

Yang Xing was stunned for a moment, looked at Yu Jingqiu who was full of anticipation, and said with a wry smile: "To be honest, I really can't bear to Sister Jingqiu, but boss, you have spoken, I have to give this face, so be it." ”

Yang Xing is not joking, he is indeed a little reluctant to Jingqiu and a few of them, he has been used to them by his side for so long, everyone has fought side by side, experienced life and death, that kind of feeling is not comparable to others, and now he is a little uncomfortable with the cold substitution.

Lunch, in addition to Yang Xing and Yuan Fang, there are also Xiaomei, Yan Yue, Wan Chunya and Sang Rou, it stands to reason that in this humble and orderly world, Sang Rou and they should not participate, but Yang Xing invited again and again, saying that this time it was to give Yu Jingqiu a few candies, and the girls enjoyed a delicious meal in the palace together.

When Yuan Fang and the others were eating Haisai, Guan Xiaoyun squatted outside the sheepfold in the backyard of the villa with a dry steamed bun and the north wind was blowing, as if sensing something, Guan Xiaoyun snorted: "Why do I seem to smell the fragrance of stew?" ”
