The Sage of Confucianism and Taoism

Chapter 903 Disappointment

The real dragon compared to Fang Yun shocked people on both sides of the street. Even Rong Xiucai only stared at Ao Huang.

Fang Yun didn't expect that Liu Yu didn't guess it, so he said half-jokingly: "No, since I saw you, old man, I naturally want to sit down and chat for a while, why can't I just leave."

Liu Yu, no matter how unsophisticated he was, noticed something was wrong. He blinked and said, "Master Fang, are you okay?"

Fang Yun smiled slightly, took out a volume of documents from Yinjiang Bei, handed it to Liu Yu, and said, "Read it yourself."

"Oh?" Liu Yu took the document and read it carefully, blinked, then hurriedly rubbed his eyes with his hands and read it a second time.

"I...I won't be dazzled..." Liu Yu rubbed his eyes again, and then read the document for the third time.

After reading it, Liu Yu's face was red and his whole body was trembling. He looked at Fang Yun and said excitedly: "Fang... Master Fang, this... is this true?"

Fang Yun smiled and said: "From today on, you will be the 'chief photographer of everything in the Ning'an County workshop'. As for those rewards, they are all real. Chief Engineer Liu!"

"Ah? Is it true?" Liu Yu looked at Fang Yun blankly, his vision completely lost focus, and his soul was wandering.

Mrs. Liu whispered at the gate: "What kind of father-in-law and mother-in-law is just a guise to deceive others."

Liu Shiyuan, a teenager, ran to his grandfather and read the words on it while reading intermittently.

"...Liu Yu, an official, has a solid body and good workmanship. His utensils are only made of coral and his materials are called pillars... He can be appointed as the general manager to take charge of everything in the Ning'an County workshop... Ah? I will also give you a place in the house, silk How much cloth, how much jewelry and jade, one hundred taels of gold, three hundred taels of silver? We are rich! Grandma, our family is rich!"

Mrs. Liu is confused!

She couldn't understand the official words praising Liu Yu in the front, but she could clearly understand the silk, jade, gold and silver in the back.

"Really? Are they all true?" Mrs. Liu was shaking all over, even more than Liu Yu.

Liu Yu held the appointment document and couldn't stop the tears from flowing out. At first, they just flowed silently, but soon he covered his face and cried loudly.

An elite industrialist who has been forgotten by Jingguo for decades has finally been truly recognized today!

Liu Yu doesn’t need money! Don't care about profit!

He cares about whether his sweat and dedication are recognized and affirmed!

But after waiting for decades, no one gave it!

Those ridiculous commendations, those understated praises, and those thin reward documents are just bait created by high-ranking officials with false sentiments for the sake of face and to show that they value the people at the bottom.

They have betrayed the trust of countless people, which is like betrayal.

Until Fang Yun personally handed the document to Liu Yu.

One of Liu Yu's granddaughters whispered: "Grandpa has been promoted and made a fortune, why are you still crying? Are they all bad?"

Everyone was stunned and could barely understand what the little girl meant. The child's mother hurriedly said: "It's because I'm happy! It's because Grandpa is happy. It's all good."

"Oh! Well, I'm happy too." The little girl smiled.

Rong Xiucai looked at Liu Yu who was crying, his face became very complicated, and he turned and left silently.

The moment he turned around, Rong Xiucai saw from the corner of his eye that Fang Yun was smiling at him. It was obviously a smile, but Rong Xiucai felt cold and creepy all over.

"He...knows me?" Rong Xiucai's legs and feet were weak and he stumbled as he walked. He didn't have the courage to look back and verify the authenticity of his smile.

The people behind Fang Yun carried gift boxes one after another and sent the rewarded property into the Liu family's house.

After Liu Yu cried for a while, Fang Yun stepped forward and patted his shoulder and said, "Stop crying, the neighbors are watching."

"Yes." Liu Yu hurriedly wiped away his tears and nose, raised his head, revealing his red and swollen eyes.

Fang Yun smiled and said: "Since the appointment document has been in your hands, I will go back. Today I will buy more good wine and food to celebrate."

"Huh? You...won't you come to my house to have something to eat?"

"No, there will be a lot of people coming to your house today, so I won't join in the fun. Please take your leave."

Fang Yun cupped his fists at everyone in the Liu family.

"Goodbye, Brother Fang! Goodbye, Brother Long!" Several children waved their arms vigorously. In their eyes, Ao Huang was more attractive than Fang Yun.

"Little brat." Ao Huang curled his lips, flicked his tail, and proudly returned to the car.

"Farewell to Fang Xusheng!" Liu Yu bowed and bowed, sending him off with a big gift.

"Congratulations to Fang Xusheng!"

"Quickly, kowtow to Fang Xusheng!" Liu Yu's son and daughter-in-law immediately asked the children to kneel down.

The children laughed and knelt down, kowtowing seriously to Fang Yun's carriage.

After Fang Yun's motorcade left, the entire street and even people from nearby streets flocked to the door of Liu's house!

"Old Liu Tou, you have finally been promoted. If you don't succeed, you must set up a flowing water mat!"

"Good people are rewarded!"

"The sky has eyes!"

"Shit, the sky has eyes. It's County Magistrate Xiaofang who has eyes! Those magistrates in front are all blind!"

"Comparing those dog officials with Fang Xusheng is tantamount to scolding Fang Xusheng!"

"Yes, yes. Mr. Liu will hold a flowing banquet for the neighbors tomorrow. You must come and enjoy it!"

"Of course! My parents and Mr. Liu have been friends for decades, so they will definitely come to help tomorrow!"

"Hey, good thing, good thing..."

Shengyuan, the editorial and review court of "Wenbao".

"Hurry, hurry, hurry... This is Fang Xusheng's article, no delay!" I saw an official rushing into the main hall of the Editorial Court.

A university scholar frowned and said, "The layout has been decided. Gongdian has already requested six pages for Fang Xusheng. Why does he have to write an article for Wenbao himself?"

"Perhaps he did not communicate well with Gongdian. Young man, a little anxious. Others don't know, but we all got the news. It is understandable that he would take credit for himself in Wenbao based on his merits. After all, before publication, three semi-saint examiners will exclude the palace examination ranking. Fang Xusheng must be far superior to others in the two subjects of civil administration, criminal justice and construction, but in other subjects, he is much worse. I am afraid he is still D grade."

"Fang Xusheng is honest and improves one subject at a time. Unlike others, who try to improve ten subjects at once in order to appear in the palace examination ranking of Wenbao, ten subjects of C grade are higher than one subject of B grade plus nine subjects of D grade."

"Bring it up and take a look at Fang Xusheng's recommendation article." University Scholar Song in the middle stretched out his hand and a stack of papers flew in front of him and lined up.

Scholar Song glanced at the article and read it in one breath. His eyes lit up and he said, "Such a reward is obviously not unusual, but compared with Lei Shushan's article, the difference is obvious! Take a look."

The other two scholars quickly read Fang Yun's reward to Liu Yu and the content of Liu Yu's promotion.

"Once this article is published, with the promotion of Gongdian, Fang Xusheng will become the trend-setter of Gongjia after the new military strategist and the young phoenix of medicine."

"This article is almost aimed at Lei Shushan's "contentment with poverty and happiness with Taoism", and I almost heard a loud slap in the face."

"I really don't know whether it was done by the staff or Fang Xusheng alone. It's really like an antelope hanging a horn, leaving no trace."

"This article is worth publishing. I don't know how Lei Shushan and others will respond. There will be another good show to watch."

The three scholars smiled and re-drafted the new layout of "Wenbao" on the first day of March.

The three editors of the "Shengdao" Editorial Office not far away were at a loss.

Who would have thought that Fang Yun, Lei Shushan and Mo Shan all had an article about the improvement of the cotton-spinning mechanism? According to their level, all three articles are qualified to be published in "The Holy Way", but when these three articles were published together, the readers in the world must have laughed their heads off, especially when Mo Shan did not forget to attach a story about Lei Shushan's "first at a moment" at the end.

"Forget it, put the three articles together and let the readers judge for themselves!"
