Chapter 872

"I'll transfer you a letter from Lei Shushan to me." Ao Huang said with a bad smile.

Fang Yun was a little curious, holding the official seal. A wild goose handed a letter, forming black characters, suspended in the air and finished reading it quickly.

"Lei Shushan is very ambitious. He just wants you to go there. In fact, it's nothing. You're useless anyway." Fang Yun paused deliberately.

Ao Huang turned his eyes, and nu Nu smiled.

Fang Yun continued: "however, he said that I was about to be attacked by everyone and couldn't survive the palace test. Even if I passed the palace test, I would be destroyed by the demon man. It's the stupidest choice to take refuge in me. This letter is actually a challenge sent to me!"

Ao Huang immediately nodded desperately and said, "yes, yes! I think it's too much. Why don't you... Kill him?"

Yang Yuhuan and Su Xiaoxiao were stunned, and then smiled. Ao Huang's Dragon didn't speak according to common sense. It was always unexpected, so Fang Yun could stand him.

Fang Yun said, "I have limited energy and am hesitant to fight for the first grade of fortification. However, since he sent me a war letter, I will not fight. You send him a letter and say that he has won the first grade of fortification and farming in the palace examination this year. Let him stop delusion!"

Ao Huang grinned: "this is the unparalleled town country in the world! Ben long will send him a book!"

After a few breaths, Ao Huang said, "I've finished the book. I said that you must have transported the grade A of fortification and farming this year!"

Yang Yuhuan and Su Xiaoxiao suddenly felt helpless. Fang Yun and AO Huang meant the same, but one was "won't let Lei Shushan get it" and the other was "must belong to Fang Yun". The tone was obviously different. The former was a counterattack and the latter was a provocation.

Fang Yun glared at Ao Huang and said, "if you say so, those people will make waves and criticize me."

"Just blame me. Anyway, it has nothing to do with Ben long... Er, Ben long means that if they blame me, you will get the best of fortification and farming in the end, right?" Ao Huang said with a smile.

Nu Nu rushed to Ao Huang, stretched out his little claw and grabbed at the empty place. Ao Huang quickly retracted his neck.

Fang Yun ignored Ao Huang and continued to read Wen Bao. He found that grain prices everywhere had increased to varying degrees, especially in non grain producing areas, which had increased by 10%, higher than in previous years. According to the analysis of Wen Bao, it should be because Cao manhui will go south at the end of the year, and all countries begin to increase grain reserves. Those grain traders hoard grain by all means, suffering the civilians.

Fang Yun thought about it. Now the grain price in Ning'an county is not high, because Ning'an county is a strategic place and has a large granary. When the grain price is high to a certain extent, it can be sold at a low price to crack down on grain merchants.

Wen Bao not only records Literary Anecdotes, good names and good deeds, but also records many problems, mainly some quick news, such as the earthquake in Zhengde County, the dam destroyed by the spring flood in Nanshi County, the outbreak of spring epidemic in Guangyuan Prefecture, etc.

Other county officials or scholars did not care about these, but Fang Yun carefully read them and thought about where these things would happen in Ning'an county and how to solve them if they happened.

Through Wen Bao, Fang Yun found that there might be hidden dangers in Yishui River in Ning'an County, so he sent private soldiers with water conservancy experience to lead workshop officials to inspect the dikes on both sides of Yishui river.

Ning'an county is located in the north, and the frozen soil changes slowly. If the frozen soil does not completely open around February 10, affecting sowing, the county magistrate needs to go to the holy temple to worship heaven, and then use the power of the holy temple to quickly open the frozen soil of farmland.

Fang Yun didn't participate in heaven worship, so he decided to call the private soldiers of scholars to discuss it in the evening.

After reading Wen Bao, Fang Yun said goodbye to Yang Yuhuan and took Ao Huang to the workshop.

The workshop is one of the ten rooms of the county yamen. It is only a cold Yamen in ordinary small counties, but it is fat to work in the workshop in large counties such as Ning'an.

The geographical location of Ning'an County determines that the trade and handicraft industry are developed. In order to avoid barbarian looting, a large area of land north of Yishui River can not be sown. There are only fields in the south of the city, and agriculture is relatively weak.

Near the southwest of Ning'an county is the famous cotton producing area of Jingguo, which makes Ning'an county a big textile county. However, Ning'an county does not produce ramie and cannot raise silkworms, so both linen and silk need to be transported from the south.

After Fang Yun entered the workshop, he first talked with the workshop officials, and asked the workshop chief to lead the way to the weaving workshop in Ning'an county.

As Ning'an county is a strategic place and close to the cotton producing area, 30% of the gauze, cotton cloth and canvas needed by the surrounding troops are supplied by this county, while most of the 30% are supplied by the county's weaving workshops, and the rest are supplied by private weaving workshops.

Fang Yun didn't take the dragon horse luxury car this time, but took an ordinary carriage. After all, his identity was so special that he needed protection. He was still followed by 20 demon iron cavalry and 20 barbarian private soldiers.

The people on the roadside whispered and guessed that it was Fang Yun's private soldier, but they couldn't be sure whether Fang Yun was sitting in the car.

The weaving workshop in the county is not in the city, but by the Yishui river outside the city. The scholars of the workers have long developed a hydraulic textile machine that is more efficient than the manual textile machine.

Out of the east gate, Fang Yun opened the curtains and saw that the Yishui river was like a jade belt across the north, and in the distance were rows of factories.

There are not only weaving mills, but also various mills and blacksmiths that can use water power. It stretches for tens of miles and is very spectacular.

The general secretary of the workshop is a scholar over 60. He smiles very kindly, but Fang Yun knows that this man is notorious for eating people and not spitting bones.

"Lord Fang, there is a famous workshop street ahead. There are more than 400 workshops, half of which are private workshops, half are royal and county workshops, and the number of royal and county workshops is similar. The royal family of Jingguo gives preferential treatment to its people. If we change to the state of Wu, the Royal workshops account for at least 50%, the county workshops account for at least 20%, and the aristocratic family accounts for another 20%, the civilians can only compete for the last one Yes! "

Fang Yunxin said that it was not the royal family's preferential treatment, but the decline of Jingguo's national strength. The royal family's control was much lower than before, so it had to benefit the people. At least 50% of the private workshops in Ning'an county are owned by major aristocratic families.

The master book of the workshop talks about the current situation of workshops in Ning'an county all the way. It's nothing big or small. It's almost confidentially.

Ao Huang stared at the master book of the workshop from time to time. He always felt that this person had ulterior motives and secretly transmitted a message to Fang Yun, asking Fang Yun to be careful.

Fang Yun didn't think so and smiled. The reason why the master book of the workshop told the whole story was really ulterior motives.

The first purpose is to show the profitability of the workshop and trigger Fang Yun's greed. As long as Fang Yun is greedy, he can be easily dragged into the water, or attached to Zuo Xiang, or ruined.

The second purpose is to warn Fang Yun that there are big people behind these workshops. Even the most humble workshops are also famous and powerful. As for the distinguished families, they can't get involved at all.

There are only two or three famous families in an ordinary house, which is enough to make a county magistrate bow his head.

When an ordinary county magistrate took office, the local giants of Ning'an county had already joined hands to give a banquet to the new county magistrate, but Fang Yun was different. They either didn't dare to contact the left party because of their relationship with the left party, or they honestly handed in a prayer post to ask for an audience.
