Royal Gold Medal County Magistrate

Half an hour later, the sketch of Linglong on horseback was finished.

Fang Zheng Yi took the drawing and nodded in satisfaction.

Linglong, heroic and valiant, rode on horseback, her gaze firmly fixed on the front, her 'cloak' fluttering behind her.

Thanks to the few students who were temporarily caught, they were fanning Linglong with cattail leaf fans.

Although the drawing was a bit rushed, the general idea was expressed, and it could be carefully modified later.

After carefully checking it over and seeing that there were no omissions, Fang Zheng Yi handed the painting to Mo Xiao Hu and said, "Find someone to carefully carve it into a printing plate and send it to the Banshan Newspaper Office. It must be exquisite and not careless."

"Okay, Master. The plaque on the teaching building has already been hung up. Would you like me to take you to see it?"

"Let's go."

....

He hurried to the teaching building with the three women.

The originally vacant building had already been hung with a plaque.

The three words "Linglong Building" were clearly displayed on it, but Zhao Linglong was still at a loss as to what exactly would be taught inside.

However, looking at the plaque engraved with her name, a strange feeling arose in her heart involuntarily.

Fang Zheng Yi boasted, "How is my efficiency in handling affairs?"

"This area has already been designated, and the name is also there. It will probably take some time to customize the regulations for the girls' school, after which students can be recruited."

"The first batch of students will be admitted free of charge. Not only that, I will even give them money. Linglong, what do you think?"

Linglong stared at the plaque in a daze and said, "Is what Master Fang said true?"

Fang Zheng Yi nodded.

Naturally, there was not a single empty word. If you want to recruit women to study, you must spend a lot of money.

In the eyes of ordinary people, women are now considered 'money-losing goods'. If you have to spend money to go to school, it is impossible to recruit a single person.

Not only that, but I am afraid that women's subsequent jobs will have to be further created by him.

The current market is extremely difficult to satisfy these things.

"I will personally take out ten thousand taels of silver in the early stage for women to enroll and study until the women taught in this school are completely capable of earning money independently, then the subsidies will be stopped. As long as I have money, I will definitely help to the end."

Listening to Fang Zheng Yi's resolute words.

Linglong, Chu Qinghan, and Chu Youyi were all shocked and tearful.

Linglong lowered her head and said with emotion, "Why does Master Fang have to do this..."

Fang Zheng Yi turned around with his hands behind his back, leaving the three women a chic back view, and sighed softly, "The world should not be like this."

"Most women have been regarded as property from ancient times to the present, and their dignity has been trampled on. Moreover, there is a custom among the people that if a son is born, they congratulate each other, but if a daughter is born, they kill her. This is the loss of morality and the corruption of human nature."

"When I am a local official, I still have to handle it personally and crack down on bad habits. What's more, now that I am in a high position..."

"I think my life is for the well-being of the people of the world, for promoting the change of the world, and that's all."

Although Fang Zheng Yi's pretense was perfect, what he said was indeed from the bottom of his heart.

However, this light sentence brought the three women a shock no less than a bomb.

Everyone has heard beautiful words, but now it is about real money being invested.

Is that still fake? What a great sentiment, what a noble personality.

Fang Zheng Yi turned around and saw Chu Qinghan looking at him with admiration, and couldn't help but feel a little elated.

Little sample, am I not going to charm you to death?

Immediately, he reached out to Linglong and lowered his voice a little, with some thickness, "Linglong, are you willing to join my team?"

Fang's total body language appreciation

Team?

When Linglong heard this, she felt a little awkward, but this awkwardness quickly passed.

She now suddenly felt a sense of mission, a sense of nobility.

What is this career?

I should feel honored to have the opportunity to join, can I decline?

Looking at Fang Zheng Yi's outstretched hand, Linglong hesitated...

"I... If Master Fang wants me to help, then I am willing. But I have one request, if I want to go home, I hope you can let me go home."

Fang Zheng Yi was overjoyed: "How can I not agree to such a small matter? As long as you are willing, you can go home at any time. Not only that, I will be responsible for all your food, clothing, and expenses in the capital, and I will pay you a salary on time every month."

Linglong waved her hands in a flustered manner; "No, no."

Fang Zheng Yi said in an unquestionable tone: "It must be used, you don't need to say it, let's just decide like this!"

"From today onwards, you are the first female student in this school. You just listen to my arrangements for any subsequent activities."

"You can relax these few days and let Qinghan and the others have fun in the capital and try to take good care of your body."

"Thank you, Master Fang."

......

The next day, Fang Zheng Yi went to the newspaper office alone.

The newspaper office, which he hadn't visited for a long time, was still busy, and as usual, there were many new faces.

Inside the room, Fang Zheng Yi and Xie Xian sat facing each other.

Fang Zheng Yi sipped his tea and said, "How is the newspaper office doing recently?"

"Everything is normal, but many people have left. They are all preparing to take the exam, but our recruitment of new people is very smooth."

"It's just..." Xie Xian hesitated.

"What's wrong?"

"The new people are not very obedient, and they keep clamoring for a raise."

Fang Zheng Yi raised his eyebrows and said, "Two taels a month, plus so many bonuses and holiday benefits, and they still think it's too little. Why are the new people's appetites so big?"

Xie Xian nodded solemnly: "Two taels... is indeed a lot. But to be honest, prices have been rising a bit fast in recent years."

"The new recruits have good conditions and qualifications, and they don't look down on two taels at all! Moreover, a private school teacher with a Xiucai status in the capital also earns two taels a month, which is much more leisurely than our job... Should we raise it?"

"Tch, what are our benefits? Free library plus pens, ink, paper, and inkstones, holiday birthday gifts, and their work experience, how much money can be saved in a year?" Fang Zheng Yi shook his head vigorously, "No raise, no raise."

"You can't be soft on people. It's human nature for reporters to ask for a raise, that's their pattern. But how to do it, you have to test your wisdom." Fang Zheng Yi said lightly, "Isn't our newspaper office the only one in the capital? If I raise it, what will others do? We also have to consider whether our peers can bear it. It is harmful to society to do things randomly without contributing to society."

"Yes, yes, yes." Xie Xian said with a wry smile.

"But the new people's families are really not ordinary, and they are also arrogant and unruly. They privately told the old reporters that we have so much advertising revenue, and giving only two taels a month is exploitation. What if things get out of hand in the future?"

Fang Zheng Yi smiled disdainfully: "What the hell? Exploitation? We are doing business, not thugs who force people. As long as it is a proper business, there is no exploitation."

"It's not that whoever is poor is right. Is the newspaper office door locked so they can't leave? Can't they go to other places to make a living? If they have to die if they leave the newspaper office, then why should I pay people wages? Isn't it enough for employees to have a mouthful of bran to eat?"

"I have never heard of anyone shouting about being exploited while working for someone, and still staying here shamelessly. If it's not cheap, then isn't this bullying us as a vulnerable group because there are so many of them!"

"Ah?" Xie Xian was stunned for a moment.

So I am the vulnerable group? I am being bullied by my employees!

"Then what should we do? What if it really gets out of hand?"

"Raise the salary if it gets out of hand! Do you still need to ask me this? The business field itself is a game, and the relationship between the owner and the employee is also a game. We are afraid of trouble, why should they raise money if they don't make trouble? If reporters want to fight for benefits, they must unite to fight against us. Which small business outside is not full of shit and tears? It's not easy to live, and they want a raise just by moving their mouths? It's not that easy."

"Your responsibility is to stop them from uniting and making trouble, it's that simple." After saying that, Fang Zheng Yi drank another sip of tea.

Xie Xian tentatively said, "Master, why don't you give them another lesson...?"

"No, no, I'm just drawing cakes for people outside, you go." Fang Zheng Yi spread his hands and said, "Draw up a list of those new employees and tell them separately that the people on the list have been carefully selected by the Crown Prince and are the most promising scholars. They are often changing the way to motivate them and strive to turn demands into performance."

Pictures can't add to the word count

"What about the old employees? Suppress them to death first, so that they have the risk of losing their jobs at any time, and give priority to those with houses, wives, and children. When the pressure can't be resisted, personally give some benefits to make them rely on you and let them know that you are in the same group. Then secretly increase the wages of capable new employees and defeat them one by one. In this way, isn't it easy to deal with the bottom employees?"

But you can add to the page count...

"The way of management lies in a balance~, let go and do it, come and ask me if you don't understand."

Xie Xian looked admiring after listening. Although Fang Zheng Yi's words were harsh, the reporters' treatment in the future must not be bad. The master is a person who is willing to share money, probably because he thinks it is not the time yet.

At this moment, someone brought a wooden board from outside.

Fang Zheng Yi pointed to the door and smiled, "The things are here, I still have important things to tell you today."
