Royal Gold Medal County Magistrate

“This book uses the most extravagant language to describe the West and its beliefs. Although there must be some exaggeration, the sweet potatoes and potatoes show that the West is indeed a paradise....”

“In contrast, our Great Jing seems a bit lacking in material terms. Fortunately, we have wise rulers and capable ministers who can bring prosperity out of adversity.”

Fang Zheng's expression was calm as his eyes quickly swept over the crowd.

Everyone else had different expressions, beginning to think deeply, already making their calculations.

Ordinary rhetoric is useless to win over these people.

They lack nothing.

Lack money? That's impossible. In other words, they have already achieved financial freedom. Making money is only for the development of the clan.

Talking about feelings? They lack that even more. With a flash of their identity, many people want to come up and claim kinship, and they are overwhelmed with beautiful women to choose from.

The only thing that can move them is a grand narrative!

It is the call of history and the times, the fierce collision between civilizations!

It is the thrilling moment of relying on personal power to promote and change history!

Fang Zheng raised his tone: “Although the West is a fertile land, there is one point that cannot be compared with us!”

As he spoke, he raised his hands and waved them in the air.

The musicians by the pool, seeing this, quickly changed the song....

The ministers all looked up.

“Our Great Jing now has three divine weapons, making us the best in the world in terms of martial power!”

“Although Western craftsmen have exquisite skills, without the blessing of immeasurable merit, they will not be able to catch up in martial power in the short term.”

“As long as I, in Great Jing, catch up in navigation, wouldn’t the countless exotic treasures, gold mountains, and silver mountains of the West be ours for the taking?”

“In the future, countless people in our Great Jing will not only have enough to eat, but also enough meat to eat!”

“And....”

Listening to Fang Zheng's passionate speech, everyone began to unconsciously substitute themselves into the story.

A grand and magnificent blueprint began to slowly emerge before their eyes.

Seeing them gradually getting into the mood, Fang Zheng's mouth gradually curved into a smile.

He was the same. There were not many things in this world that could bring him strong stimulation.

If he can't be a useless person, he must do big things!

“Even a sage ruling the world could not achieve such achievements!”

As soon as the words fell, the air in the backyard froze.

Emperor Jing's face flushed, feeling a little hot, and he tugged at his collar.

Li Yuanzhao was even more excited, clutching his clothes tightly, his face flushed.

Too small... the格局 is too small!

He was still waiting to fight the Northern Rong, but how could he be like Lao Fang, already considering being an enemy of the whole world?

Fang Zheng breathed a sigh of relief, then changed the subject: “Of course, my personal views are also biased.”

“Perhaps we shouldn’t regard overseas countries as imaginary enemies. Maybe they are friends? What do you think?”

The others began to discuss in low voices.

“There is such a rich place in the world. Wouldn’t that be another hidden danger for our Great Jing in the future?”

“What was said today... must not be spread, lest it cause unrest among the people.”

“Everyone, I think he makes sense. Now that Great Jing has two high-yield crops, sweet potatoes and potatoes, overseas countries will inevitably become strong and must be guarded against.”

Li Yansong had been tense, and only relaxed suddenly after Fang Zheng finished speaking, leaning weakly on the chair.

The eyes around him looked at him, waiting for him to express his opinion.

Li Yansong took a few breaths and thought: “According to what Master Fang said, if we take advantage of our military strength to oppress other countries, wouldn’t that be against the way of a gentleman?”

Zheng Qiao glanced at him meaningfully and replied: “Lord Li, just now Fang Zheng said that Marco Polo traveled in the West, and many countries believe in ghosts and gods. This shows the shallowness of their culture and their fooling of the people.”

“The sage said that education should be available to all, and even Western barbarians should be enlightened. Adhering to the sage's righteousness is...”

“Yes! Yes, Lord Zheng is right.” Someone echoed.

There was another round of discussion.

Seeing the heat subside, Fang Zheng said: “Everyone, after saying so much, everyone should understand.”

“The West is a piece of fat meat. Great Jing will inevitably come into contact with the West in the future. If that day comes, our Great Jing will surely reach an unprecedented height!”

“All of you here are destined to be remembered in history along with the glorious and prosperous age that our predecessors have never seen!”

“This last program is for everyone. Please look to the sky!”

After speaking, in the excited and curious gazes of the crowd, Fang Zheng took out a small tube from his sleeve and lit it by the bonfire!

Whoosh~!

A beam of fire shot straight into the sky and disappeared with a pop.

The band by the pool changed its passionate style and switched to the Great Jing version of Memories of the Forbidden City...

The music began to become magnificent.

The ministers were a little surprised, but in the next moment.

Several consecutive gorgeous fireworks appeared on the horizon, opening up a sky full of fiery trees and silver flowers.

After the starlight dissipated, several more flames rose into the sky, crookedly spelling out four large characters 【江山永固】.

Fang Zheng couldn't help but feel a little regret in his heart.

Damn it... in the end, the technical skills are not good enough. After拼 for several days, the result is still like this.

However, it’s good to have that shape, so it can only be like this.

After the four characters Jiang Shan Yong Gu disappeared, countless fireworks rose into the sky again.

This time it's not just one side... all sides are set off.

For a time, the entire sky was illuminated!

A bizarre and magnificent scene appeared again.

Everyone was stunned, their hearts beating faster, and some even exclaimed auspicious!

Emperor Jing stared blankly at the fireworks in the sky, and the four characters Jiang Shan Yong Gu were still deeply imprinted in his mind.

The music coming from his ears became more and more intense.

An ancient and heavy scroll seemed to slowly unfold before Emperor Jing's eyes.

The palaces... the country, past experiences kept flashing in his mind.

The soul-stirring notes, coupled with the fireworks in the sky, were like a dreamlike magical journey.

Gradually, Emperor Jing looked at the sky, his eyes moist.

Fang Zheng seized the opportunity, took a step forward, and shouted at the top of his lungs: “Your Majesty, I congratulate you on obtaining three national treasures today, and I wish my Great Jing country will last forever!”

The ministers, who were originally staring at the sky in a daze, came back to their senses when they heard Fang Zheng howling.

Leaving their original seats, they shouted in unison: “We congratulate Your Majesty, may the Great Jing country last forever!”

The neat shouts made Emperor Jing's scalp tingle...

The emotions and atmosphere were all in place at the same time!

No one could remain indifferent under Fang Zheng's performance!

The fireworks show had stopped, and the music in his ears had reached the final stage.

Emperor Jing turned sideways and quietly wiped the corner of his eye.

Then he actually took Fang Zheng's hand and patted it twice.

Fang Zheng was also a little surprised.

Emperor Jing said with emotion: “Fang Qing, well done, I am content today. In the future... you must be more稳重.”

稳重? What 稳重?

“Let’s end here today, I am tired.”

Fang Zheng smiled: “It’s good that Your Majesty likes it. I didn’t put in much effort. It’s not early, I have arranged accommodation for Your Majesty and my colleagues. If Your Majesty wants to rest, I will send someone to escort Your Majesty there.”
