"You don't have to worry about what happened today, what to do in the future, and how to do it."
As he spoke, he took out a stack of banknotes from his pocket and handed them to him.
"You take this money, you can do it according to the facts, repair the Cigu Bureau, if there is any leftover, buy yourself clothes."
Du Fangxiang didn't take the banknote, he hesitated and said: "Master Fang, it's all like this in dozens of charity bureaus, 1000 taels of silver can only solve the urgent need, but it can't solve the root cause."
Fang Xiu frowned slightly, looked at him, and said calmly: "In this case, you should think of a way for the truth to solve the root cause."
Du Fangxiang was startled, speechless.
Identify problems, ask questions, and solve problems.
The third step is often far more difficult than the first two steps.
He knew that he couldn't solve the root cause, but he didn't know how to solve the root cause.
"Why don't you know the truth? Where you can't see the truth, there are many more miserable situations than this orphanage. So what?"
Fang Xiu looked at Du Fangxiang, his expression became colder, and he said in a deep voice: "There are some things that don't immediately yield results, and the truth is not as cold and heartless as you think.
Seeing these scrawny children, Truth is also very distressed. Sadness does not have to be shown on the face. So what can Truth cry here all day and night?
Daqian Jiangshan, crying bitterly because of the truth, can Haiyan and Heqing be cleared?If the truth is worrying and crying, will the people of the world be able to live and work in peace? "
Du Fangxiang hurriedly said, "This is not what I meant to be an official."
"Stay in one's position and pursue one's own affairs, let one's duties fulfill one's responsibility..."
Fang Xiu looked at him, and wanted to say something more, but only halfway through, he felt that it was meaningless, sighed leisurely, waved his hands and said:
"Forget it, these words are meaningless. On the contrary, it makes people feel hypocritical. The 1000 taels of silver are not for you, but for these children. Take it."
"Yes, Fang Xiang!"
This time, Du Fangxiang didn't dare to say any more, took the money with both hands, turned around and withdrew.
After a while.
The police also followed Du Fangxiang to the Cigu Bureau.
in the courtyard.
Under the jujube tree.
Fang Xiu, who was wearing a cloak, sat alone on the stone bench.
Facing the cold wind, looking at the bright moon and stars in the sky, I was speechless for a long time.
I do not know how long it has been.
He just sighed, got up slowly, and walked towards the inn step by step in the darkness, facing the moonlight.
in the shadows.
The shadow guards shrouded in black robes followed closely.
............
The next day.
After a night of rest in Anhua County.
The little empress and Fang Xiu didn't stay long, and set off again at three poles high in the sun.
Before leaving.
The little empress went to the Lonely Charity Bureau to look around again, and saw that the little beggars were all wearing new clothes, and a smile finally appeared on her face.
However, this smile only lasted for a while, and then disappeared after returning to the carriage.
"Fang Xiu, I want to know how to curb the corruption of officials."
In the carriage, the little empress looked at Fang Xiu and asked softly.
aside.
Lin Wan'er heard this question, opened her mouth, wanted to say something, glanced at Fang Xiu, after all, she didn't dare to speak, she just said in her heart:
"Your Majesty! Prime Minister Fang is the biggest corrupt official of ours! How could you think of asking him this question!"
the other side.
Fang Xiu looked at the little empress, was silent for a while, and replied:
"It's nothing more than three points. First, don't dare to be greedy. Second, don't be greedy. Third, don't be greedy."
Don't be greedy, don't be greedy, don't be greedy...
The little empress muttered to herself and fell into deep thought again.
Fang Xiu looked at her, thought for a while, and said: "Your Majesty, there are many problems in Dagan, not only the corruption of officials, but also..."
Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the little empress.
"I know."
The little empress looked up at Fang Xiu, with a smile on her beautiful face, she said softly:
"I'm just thinking, let's start with a certain aspect and think about some problems."
Hearing this, Fang Xiu didn't say any more, nodded, leaned on the carriage, closed his eyes and meditated.
time flies.
In a blink of an eye.
It was two hours later.
The speed of the carriage gradually slowed down.
As the distance from Luonan Fucheng got closer, there were more and more noisy voices outside.
Fang Xiu opened his eyes, looked forward, and saw that the little empress was still in her original posture.
A slender hand supported his small head, his face was thoughtful, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
The carriage jolted violently.
The little empress woke up from her trance, and subconsciously looked at Fang Xiu who was at the side. Seeing him looking at her, a faint blush appeared on her fair face, and said softly:
"The city of Luonan is ahead. I have ordered the guards to drive directly to Tangquan Palace later."
Fang Xiu was slightly taken aback, and asked, "Didn't Your Majesty want to pay a private visit to Luonan Fucheng?"
The little empress sighed and said: "I have already seen what I should see in Anhua County, and Luonan Prefecture is probably the same."
Fang Xiu looked at her and said softly, "Your Majesty, don't think too much, there are still ministers in the court."
As the closest person to the little empress, Fang Xiu knew the little empress very well, knowing that her emotions were not quite right, so he comforted her.
After hearing this, the little empress showed a smile on her face, looked at Fang Xiu, and said with a light smile:
"Fang Xiang is so considerate, does he treat me like a daughter?"
As soon as this word comes out.
Lin Wan'er on the side subconsciously looked at the little empress, a little surprised.
Fang Xiu looked at her, but there was a hint of worry in his brows.
Seeing Fang Xiu's eyes, the little empress was silent for a second, pouted and said:
"The more you are like this, the more depressed I am, as if I am treated like a child. I am the Son of Heaven, the Emperor, and the Ninth Five-Year Lord. How can I be defeated by this little setback?"
"What's more, even if you really treat me as a daughter, at my age, I won't go through some things and fall down..."
Fang Xiu raised his brows and said with a smile: "Your Majesty is overthinking. From the beginning to the end, I have always regarded Your Majesty as an unmarried lady..."
[Emotion value +2000]
When the little empress heard Fang Xiu's teasing, her pretty face flushed slightly, she rolled her eyes at him, and said angrily, "I knew that even if you are a serious disciple, you can only be serious for a while."
Paused.
She seemed to have thought of something, looked at Fang Xiu, her expression became a little serious, and she said seriously:
"I have been thinking just now, if part of the land from the 21 Huangzhuangs is allocated to the Cigu Bureau, will the situation of the Cigu Bureau be better?"
Fang Xiu was silent for a second, and replied, "It's just a drop in the bucket."
This answer was also expected by the little empress.
She sighed, and said with some disappointment:
"During the time you closed your eyes and rested your mind, I have been thinking about how to make the lives of the poor people better, but I can't think of any other way except to implement the New Deal like Emperor Zhou.
The only thing I can think of is to take some measures to curb the trend of corruption, but I also know that even if there are fewer corrupt officials in the court, it can only reduce the burden of the people a little, and it will not achieve much effect.
The root cause of the poverty of the people is that they have no land and have worked hard all their lives. No matter how much they reap, they still have to be exploited by those gentry tyrants and live on in the world.
"I Have a Scroll of Ghosts and Gods"
All day long, I think about working hard to govern, lightening the burden on the common people, punishing corrupt officials, and suppressing the powerful gentry.
But it wasn't until yesterday that I found out that the emperor of mine is actually the biggest gentry in the world, and I, like them, has been exploiting the people..."
talking and talking.
Tears welled up in her eyes, and she could no longer restrain her emotions.
Burying his head in his arms, he began to cry.
Seeing this, Fang Xiu sighed in his heart, sat beside her, patted her on the back lightly, and comforted him: "Your Majesty is still young, so don't be too harsh on yourself."
"Ohh Ohh ohh......"
The little empress was still crying.
Time passed by minute by minute.
In the blink of an eye, a stick of incense time passed.
The little empress was still crying.
"Ohh Ohh ohh......"
Fang Xiu looked distressed, stretched out his hand to hold her in his arms, and said softly: "Your Majesty, if you cry again, you will become a little pig..."
"You... woo woo... Leave me alone... I just want to... cry..."
The little empress let go of her arms, buried her little head in his arms, and continued to cry.
In just a moment, Fang Xiu felt that his clothes were wet.
"If you keep crying, your eyes will be swollen!"
Fang Xiu hugged her and said.
While crying, the little empress said angrily: "Wuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu..."
"Your Majesty's crying minister is upset, I want to cry!"
Fang Xiu also said angrily.
When the little empress heard this, she cried even more sadly.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu..."
Fang Xiu: "..."
For such a little empress.
Fang Xiu really had nothing to do.
After a few seconds of silence, he sighed:
"No matter how much Your Majesty cries, the fact that the people are oppressed and exploited still cannot be changed at all.
If we cry to death, wouldn't it be painful for loved ones and fast for enemies. "
As soon as this word comes out.
The little empress's cry became weaker.
After sobbing for a while, she raised her head, looked at Fang Xiu with red eyes, and said with a crying voice:
"I cry not only because I am sad, but also because I can't see hope..."
