The Sage of Confucianism and Taoism

Chapter 1658 The No. 1 Restaurant in the World

Fang Yun, Dong Wencong, the governor of the state, and Fang Shouye, the governor of the state, rode in a carriage to the governor's office.

Along the way, the three covered the carriage with their literary guards and talked about the secrets of Xiangzhou in detail.

After talking for a while, Dong Wencong and Fang Shouye found that Fang Yun frequently touched the official seal, but it did not affect Fang Yun's speech, so the two did not say much.

Fang Yun was a little helpless. He originally wanted to concentrate on talking to Dong Wencong and Fang Shouye about Xiangzhou, but now he had to do two things at the same time.

Many legal scholars, including Gao Mo, the elder of the Criminal Hall, sent letters to ask whether what Fang Yun said before was true, because Fang Yun had not revealed anything before.

Not only legal scholars, but also Fang Yun's friends asked one after another.

"I'm talking about Fang Gexin. Xiangzhou is not Ning'an County. The land of a county is as clear as the lines on the palm of your hand. You can easily control it. But Xiangzhou has more than 80 counties, a population of over 100 million, thousands of officials, and the dispute between Qing officials and Jing officials. If you reform, I'm afraid it will be difficult. The independence of the three divisions you mentioned has been guessed by some great scholars, but it is difficult to implement and has become an empty talk. Since you have implemented it, you must be very sure. Can you reveal something in advance?" Li Fanming likes to send letters to Fang Yun when he is free.

"The disputes between the families are more fierce than foreign enemies. You must be careful." Yan Yukong's letter was very formal.

"Fang Yun, why don't you discuss such a big thing with the officials in the court? Your Fang family, Fang Shouye is Fang Daye, and you are Fang Dada!" Jiang Hechuan's letter was very helpless.

Fang Yun was the focus of the entire human race. After killing Lei Chongmo and coming out, everyone was staring at him, waiting for the full-strength attack of the Lei family. No matter what Fang Yun said now, it would be hotly discussed by the human race everywhere.

Before Fang Yun arrived at the governor's office, a heated discussion had already taken place on the discussion board about the "independence of the three departments" and "order of trial".

The Legalists were particularly active, and most of them were relatively neutral. They thought that since Fang Xusheng had established a pilot, they should give it a try, after all, there was Ning'an County as a model.

However, some shrewd Legalists found that the independence of the three departments seemed to weaken the Legalists, but in fact it broadened the Legalists' holy way! Because the meaning of "other officials should not interfere" in Fang Yun's words was very clear, making the three departments more independent among all the offices in a state.

However, some Legalists strongly opposed it. They felt that this was subverting the previous Legalists' holy way, and some people were worried about disputes with Confucianism and forming a second dispute over rituals and laws.

Some stubborn Confucian scholars attacked the Legalists regardless of all oppositions, citing classics and classics. They were most reluctant to see the Legalists being too independent.

However, most Confucian scholars said that Fang Yun should continue to innovate first. If it was truly beneficial to the human race, even if the Confucians made sacrifices, they could accept it.

As the pressure from the demon world on the human race increased, the number of pragmatists in the human race increased greatly, and most people gradually stopped paying attention to or even completely abandoned the disputes among the various schools. Now, no matter what can strengthen the human race, as long as it is useful, they will support it.

However, the most fierce opposition is not the old stubborn Confucianists, but the scholars of the Miscellaneous School, because the Miscellaneous School and the Legalists have always been in opposition. The Miscellaneous School advocates ruling the country with power, while the Legalists believe that ruling the country by law is the right way. Now that the three departments are independent, once they are popularized to various countries, the officials of the Miscellaneous School will have less power.

The Miscellaneous School is no longer discussing this matter on the discussion list, but denouncing Fang Yun.

Soon, the "Fang Zhang dispute" that many people are tired of appeared again on the discussion list. Some people who support Fang Yun said that Fang Yun is far stronger than Zhang Longxiang, because Zhang Longxiang is still famous only by writing poems, while Fang Xusheng has begun to involve the holy way.

Soon, those who supported Zhang Longxiang fought back, saying that Zhang Longxiang went to Liangjie Mountain with his head on his shoulders to fight, killed the demon kings and shocked the world, while Fang Yun killed the head of the human race, and after coming out, he hid in Xiangzhou, the rear base of Jingguo, to avoid the barbarians from going south, which was simply a shame for the human race.

The two sides fought back and forth, and many people simply ignored it.

After Fang Yun entered the governor's mansion, he chose an independent small courtyard in the backyard of the state government, and then chose a larger courtyard in the state government as a temporary office.

After settling down, Fang Yun took a carriage to the Reviewing Army Tower.

The Reviewing Army Tower was used by Lu Su to review troops during the Three Kingdoms period. It stood on the west wall of the city, close to Dongting Lake. On the Reviewing Army Tower, you can see the blue waves of Dongting Lake and the rolling Yangtze River.

Baling has four scenic spots, Dongting Lake, Junshan Island, Lingwu Mountain and Reviewing Army Tower.

Dongting has water, Junshan has tea, Lingwu has springs, and Reviewing Army Tower has poems and essays.

The Yuejun Tower is a tower on the city wall. It is very famous because of its majestic appearance, meticulous construction, three-story, four-pillar, flying eaves and helmet-top design. It has been praised by craftsmen and scholars of all generations.

Historically, when high-ranking officials or scholars from other places arrived in Baling, they would first travel around Dongting Lake, Junshan Island and Lingwu Mountain, and finally leave poems on the Yuejun Tower.

However, what Xiangzhou people are most dissatisfied with is that the Yuejun Tower has repeatedly competed with the Yellow Crane Tower for the title of the world's first tower, but all ended in failure. This is because the literary style of Qiguo was flourishing, and many literati wrote poems in the Yellow Crane Tower, and famous poems were repeatedly published, which overwhelmed the Yuejun Tower.

Another problem with the Yuejun Tower is that its name is not as loud as the Yellow Crane Tower. The governors of all dynasties wanted to change the name of the Yuejun Tower, but in the end they could not get most people to agree, so they had to give up.

The carriage stopped and everyone got off one after another. After Fang Yun landed, he looked up and saw a magnificent tower erected on the city wall, with golden tiles and red railings, reaching straight into the sky.

In the night, the tower was covered with red lanterns, creating a festive atmosphere.

Outside the military review tower, many people from Baling City stood on both sides of the road, looking forward to it.

When they saw Fang Yun appear, they immediately greeted him loudly.

"Greetings, Fang Xusheng!"

"Good morning, Fang Xusheng!"

"Long live the Governor!"

"Fang Xusheng, you must make the Military Review Tower the best building in the world! It all depends on you!"

Countless people in Baling City cheered and looked at Fang Yun excitedly.

In the eyes of most people, it doesn't matter whether Xiangzhou belongs to Qingguo or Jingguo. What matters is which country can make them live a good life. In the past, Qingguo was strong and Jingguo was weak, and many people were inclined to Qingguo. Now Jingguo has Fang Xusheng, and its national strength is booming, so many people in Xiangzhou are no longer opposed to Jingguo.

What's more, the Governor is from Jingguo, but Xusheng is from the entire human race, so 99% of Xiangzhou people welcome Fang Yun very much.

Fang Yun looked around at the people, clasped his fists in thanks, then looked at the Reviewing Army Tower, nodded slightly, and said, "It is worthy of being the first tower in Jingguo."

Dong Wencong smiled and said, "I heard that you will be the governor of two states and set up the Governor's Office in Baling. Many old scholars in Baling came to the state government to find me, saying that they hope to hold a new literary meeting in the Reviewing Army Tower. Some old people said that if you can make the Reviewing Army Tower famous in the world, surpass the Yellow Crane Tower once, and win the reputation of the world's first tower, they will try to persuade those Qing officials to change their minds and return to Jingguo."

Fang Shouye said, "Governor, can your poems tonight surpass the literati of the Yellow Crane Tower?"

The scholars and soldiers nearby immediately showed a curious look and stared at Fang Yun.
