Royal Gold Medal County Magistrate

"Now the sanitation team has fully taken over the day and night cleaning work of more than a dozen nearby neighborhoods, incurring huge losses every month."

"We only have two options in front of us: one is to lay off some people, and the other is to deduct their wages. Your Highness, you choose."

Fang Zheng leaned back, hands behind his head, looking at Li Yuanzhao with a smile.

This kid is always fooling around outside, and I don't know if he's doing anything serious.

However, he does have the air of a gang leader.

He's always mixing with the people below, but I don't know how capable he is.

Li Yuanzhao frowned, thought for a while, and said irritably, "I choose neither! They are all brothers. What's the big deal about spending some money?"

"Lao Fang, aren't you the most resourceful? Help me think of a solution."

"Those people are all poor... If they weren't in the sanitation team, where else would they find a way to survive!"

Fang Zheng picked up his pen and started writing and drawing again. After finishing, he handed the paper to Li Yuanzhao.

"Well, there is a solution... You see, the sanitation team is currently responsible for more than a dozen neighborhoods. If we double their scale, we can continue."

"Let them sleep for two hours a day and work a little harder. It won't delay anything... Is this a good idea?"

Li Yuanzhao looked at the content on the paper, his eyes gradually turning red.

He slammed the table and roared, "Nonsense! How can people survive like that? If we keep doing this, all my brothers will die!"

"Lao Fang, be a human! You're too black-hearted!"

"If you dare to do this, I'll have my brothers hang you from a tree!"

Fang Zheng spread his hands and shrugged: "Then there's no way. This is my solution... Then Your Highness, think of another way. Maybe it can be solved?"

Seeing his nonchalant appearance, Li Yuanzhao ran away angrily.

Fang Zheng grinned.

Silly fool, doesn't use his brain when doing things, only knows how to fool around all day. Let him figure it out himself.

Last night, Fang Zheng also did some research.

According to the current situation of the sanitation team, they only need to handle five more neighborhoods to reach a balance of payments.

However, the Jing Kingdom doesn't have any concept of human rights. Workers don't have the concept of weekend rest.

Anyway, as long as they don't die from exhaustion, they'll keep working.

If the workload of five more neighborhoods is added, the sanitation team will definitely not be able to handle it.

Then we have to find a way to optimize the working methods.

The sanitation team's work in Banshan Neighborhood is the easiest because the people will gather the manure buckets in the public toilets. They only need to solve the transportation uniformly at the public toilets.

The other neighborhoods are different. There are very few public toilets, so most of them have to be collected from door to door, which wastes a lot of time.

As long as Li Yuanzhao figures this out, he will definitely give Fang Zheng money when he comes to him. With the help of the Northern City Garrison, it will not be difficult to promote the Banshan Neighborhood model to the public toilets in the northern district. After all, building a toilet doesn't cost much money.

It depends on whether he can figure it out.

He won't lay off people, but he can't just watch the Crown Prince fooling around every day.

Besides, what sanitation team? Those are clearly my mobile billboards!

Zhanshi Mansion.

Yan Guoan looked at the several Hanlin officials in front of him and said lightly: "How is it? Have you all thought about it?"

"The Crown Prince hasn't studied in the Zhanshi Mansion for a long time. He spends all day doing whatever he wants with that Fang Zheng. Are you all willing to do nothing every day?"

"Those who are willing to join me, please stand up."

Someone questioned: "Lord Yan... but Fang Zheng is currently in the Emperor's favor. We have also told His Majesty, but His Majesty doesn't seem to have any reaction."

"This kind of situation has been going on for a long time. What's the use of impeaching him again?"

Yan Guoan waved his sleeves: "Impeach? Consider it that, but I have other ideas. Fang Zheng and the Crown Prince are now managing Banshan Neighborhood. I can ask His Majesty to let us manage a neighborhood as well."

"At that time, by comparing the two, Fang Zheng can be exposed, and the Crown Prince can safely return to the Zhanshi Mansion to study."

Someone else stood up: "But, we have already been to Taoyuan County and seen it. Fang Zheng's achievements in Taoyuan County have made many people beyond reach. Does Lord Yan think we can surpass him?"

Yan Guoan said confidently: "Everyone... Do you really think Fang Zheng has real ability?"

"This person is glib-tongued and uses all means of deception. Is the prosperity of Taoyuan County really as you see it? I don't think so!"

"You all also watched the play in the theater that day. It was simply shameless, lewd, and devoid of all human relations! The people of Taoyuan County are still people, but being influenced by this kind of thing all day long, how are they different from beasts in the long run?"

"Let's talk about the places you can't see. I don't know if you have noticed some details. Although the streets of Taoyuan County seem prosperous, many inns and restaurants have broken windows, and some don't even have window paper!"

"I also sent people to investigate in the capital. The most Fang Zheng has done in Banshan Neighborhood for so long is to have people sweep the streets and clean up night soil. This shows that this person has put all his effort into appearances!"

"The inside is probably unknown. It's truly gold and jade on the outside, but rotten cotton on the inside!"

"Also, you should have heard about the toilet lottery that is causing a stir in the city. It's simply absurd! This is all that Fang Zheng has done to govern Banshan Neighborhood. Do you really think such a person has the talent to govern? Don't you all feel ashamed to be officials with such a person?"

Everyone began to think with their heads lowered.

Lord Yan is right. Fang Zheng is only in his twenties. There is no reason why he can govern a county like that. I am afraid that he has inherited the achievements of his predecessor.

Moreover, it was only a day in Taoyuan County. With that guy's personality, he even used children, and it is entirely possible to fake it.

The so-called donkey dung egg with a shiny surface should be like this.

Otherwise, how could we be inferior to a young man in his twenties at this age? There is no reason!

However, the brothels in Taoyuan County are really top-notch!

Many people recalled the night they wore cassocks and exorcised demons with the White Snake cosplayer, and couldn't help but drool secretly.

There was also the iron spear dance that made people's eyes light up.

That slender waist, long legs, novel dance... *slurp*!

Thinking about it, they couldn't help but turn red in the face...

Yan Guoan looked at the "angry" expressions on everyone's faces, and couldn't help but feel a little proud.

That villain Fang Zheng's actions are ultimately contrary to people's hearts... His Majesty was indeed fooled by him for a while.

But the people's hearts are with me! The eyes of the colleagues in the court are discerning. No matter how good Fang Zheng is at flattering, so what?

"Everyone, how have you considered it? Those who are willing to join me tomorrow, please stand up!"

"We are willing to go with Lord Yan!"
