Fang Yuan shook his head and rejected the two of them.
The Mohist Research Institute was built with huge investment.
There are so many novel things appearing in Wuling County today, and 70% to 80% of them are due to the Mohist Research Institute.
Of course, 80% to 80% of this is due to Fang Yuan, and it was under Fang Yuan's guidance that the current results were achieved.
In Wuling County, people only know the name of the Mohist Research Institute, where it is, and what it does, but no one knows what it looks like inside, who is there, or how the things inside are made.
"Master Fang County, let's see if you won't lose money, just take a look."
Du Ruhui chased Fang Yuan.
The more Fang Yuan talks about secrets, the more he wants to know.
Being able to build a small county of 5,000 people into a large county of 80,000 people in a few years, he really wanted to know the secret inside.
As Shangshu Youpushe, if he knows the process, he can spread it to the world and let the people all over the world live the same life as the people in Wuling County.
"It's a shame, it can't work."
Fang Yuan went straight forward, ignoring Du Ruhui.
Past the daily necessities area on South Street is the grocery area.
Some high-end goods are sold in this area, and there is a lot of traffic in this area.
There are many strange things in this area, and even Fang Yuan, as a time traveler, has never seen many things.
Du Ruhui did not follow and looked at Li Shimin.
After a while, Li Shimin quickened his pace and stood side by side with Fang Yuan, looking confident and steady.
"Master Fang County, I heard that you will be transferred soon."
"You know I'm from the Royal Caravan, and I'm a bit weak in the ranks. With your current performance, it's still difficult to transfer to a big county or a county with better conditions."
"But if you are willing to take us to have a look, I am willing to give feedback to you after we go back. Your transfer will definitely not be too bad in the future. It is a big county to say the least."
After Fang Yuan heard this, he stopped and looked at Li Shimin carefully, feeling a little moved.
With that gold medal and royal status, Fang Yuan really believed that the other party would be able to save more or less face.
But...
"Let's wait until you send the money."
Li Shimin and Du Ruhui both thought it was going to happen.
Who would have thought that Fang Yuan’s final reply was still rejection.
You know, what this involves is Fang Yuan’s future.
Fang Yuancai has served as a county magistrate. Although his grades are very good, his qualifications are not there.
Without the help of noble people, it is almost impossible for the next one to be transferred to a large county, and it is most likely to be transferred to a middle county.
Fang Yuan has been in the officialdom for seven years, so it’s impossible that he doesn’t know this, but he still refuses.
This made both of them even more anxious, and they felt even more about the importance of the Mohist Research Institute.
"The governor!"
Li Shimin suddenly yelled out two words without starting or ending.
Du Ruhui immediately turned his head and looked at him with a horrified expression.
Fang Yuan, who was walking in front without looking back, immediately stopped and turned around to look at him.
"You said...the governor?!"
Fang Yuan couldn't calm down and returned to Li Shimin in a few steps.
There are so many differences between the county magistrate and the governor, they are completely different worlds.
The governor can be understood as a senior official. In the Tang Dynasty, the power of the governor was much greater than that of senior officials.
If you are far away from Chang'an City, there is not much difference between the local governor and the local emperor. They are just like princes.
"Yes, Governor!"
Li Shimin said in a deep voice.
Du Ruhui understood that Li Shimin was exchanging the governor for Fang Yuan.
But to offer him the position of governor just for a visit to the Mohist Research Institute, isn’t it too childish?
But a county magistrate who has just been in office is suddenly promoted to governor, and his qualifications cannot be improved.
Although Fang Yuan has made outstanding achievements in Wuling County, he still lacks some qualifications, and the court officials will not agree.
Du Ruhui opened his mouth and wanted to persuade him, but as if he thought of something, he closed his mouth wisely and did not persuade him any more.
"Does Boss Li have such ability?"
Fang Yuan squinted his eyes and looked at Li Shimin again.
It is understandable that he is a representative of the royal caravan and has some relationship with the royal family.
But just relying on this relationship can help him be promoted to governor, can you believe it?
Even if his backers are working, it can only guarantee that he will be transferred to a large county.
"A gamble?"
Li Shimin smiled confidently.
He did not make this decision on a whim.
Instead, he decided to promote Fang Yuan to the position of governor after careful consideration.
Not long ago, drought and locust plagues came, and the officials in the imperial court took the opportunity to criticize him for his lack of morality and wanted to issue an edict to punish him.
Now, as long as Chang'an City brings money to trade with Fang Yuan, this batch of grain can be shipped back to change the situation.
At that time, it will be time for you to fight back, support a county magistrate to become the governor, suppress the momentum of the court princes, and declare your imperial power.
Moreover, Fang Yuan is his worthy minister, a man of great talent, sitting in a higher position and able to govern more places, and more people in the world can live a better life.
"Then take a gamble, please!"
Fang Yuan pondered for a moment and said in a deep voice.
A gamble means nothing more than winning or losing.
If they lose, they will be invited to visit the Mohist Research Institute in vain. At most, they will know the process of certain inventions, and the loss will not be big.
And if you win, you will get a big leap and be promoted to governor.
With such a bet, Fang Yuan felt that he could take the gamble.
"Please."
Li Shimin smiled knowingly and walked in the direction pointed by Fang Yuan.
Du Ruhui sighed in his heart and followed Li Shimin.
The three of them walked out of South Street, got on the carriage, and drove around to East Street.
East Street is not that lively, but the architectural mansions are gradually becoming grand and luxurious.
This is a wealthy area!
Some rich and powerful people in Wuling County live here.
Not long after, the carriage stopped at the door of a luxurious and solemn mansion.
There are two adult-sized stone lions at the door, highlighting the extraordinaryness of the owner's home.
The three of them got off the car.
Li Shimin looked at his surroundings and nodded subconsciously.
Clean and spacious roads, luxurious and grand mansions, and comfortable environment.
If South Street is full of life, then this is a quiet and peaceful residential area.
Soon, Li Shimin noticed that the mansion directly in front of where he and others were standing was extremely luxurious.
There is a plaque hanging in the center of the entrance, with two golden characters in flying phoenixes written on it: Fangfu!
"Master Fang County, this isn't your home, is it?"
Du Ruhui also noticed this, and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.
The mansion in front of us looks solemn and majestic from the door, which cannot be overstated.
However, it occupies a huge area and may be comparable to the Duke's Mansion in Chang'an City.
The residence of a local county magistrate is comparable to the residence of an important official of the imperial court. What kind of situation is this?
"Exactly, please come in."
Fang Yuan smiled calmly and walked in front.
Li Shimin and Du Ruhui looked at each other, both of them looking a little unhappy.
Such a mansion is of extraordinary value. It is actually the home of a county magistrate. It would be impossible to buy it in ten lifetimes with his salary.
At this moment, Li Shimin, who wanted to promote Fang Yuan as governor, began to regret, and also regretted that he should not have stopped Du Ruhui from suggesting that someone from the Ministry of Punishment should come to investigate last night.
