Fang Yun really wanted Yang Yuhuan to return to Xiangzhou immediately, but she was no longer the girl who never left home. She was an important figure in the Women's Society. Together with Yang Yuhuan, she helped Fang Yun supervise the Women's Society and helped it develop. At the same time, she studied in the Women's Society, read the four books and five classics, and learned the four arts.
Although Yang Yuhuan was busy in Kong City and could only leave after finishing her work, her heart had already flown to Fang Yun.
Fang Yun was a hundred times busier than Yang Yuhuan. He had to deal with a lot of government affairs every day, and at night, he was always practicing.
He studied the books of the world, read the books of the Saint Origin World, practiced the battle of words and poems, wrote essays, and practiced the zither. At the same time, he continued to write the "History of Ancient Demons". He also sorted out some medical books, military strategies, and other knowledge.
Not only that, Fang Yun spent an hour every day reading almost all the essays and replies on the rankings. He was constantly learning all the information about the human race. He couldn't fall behind this era and couldn't fall into self-isolation.
Important news exploded in Xiangzhou one after another.
Every three days, the government, the Law Division, and the Judicial Division would jointly send out documents to various places and post them on the bulletin board.
The contents of these documents were surprisingly similar. They all listed the criminal evidence of a certain official. Moreover, these officials' ranks were not low. They were at least of the seventh rank. The civil servants were at least Juren, or even Hanlin.
The atmosphere of the entire officialdom in Xiangzhou changed subtly. However, the people all over the place rushed to spread the news, excitedly discussing or spreading the news of the officials being arrested.
Near September, Yang Yuhuan, Nunu, Su Xiaoxiao, and Ao Huang arrived in Baling City. They moved to the Governor's Mansion with Fang Yun and officially lived in Baling City.
With Fang Yun's support, Yang Yuhuan and Su Xiaoxiao would build a girls' school in Baling City.
Nunu had been pestering Fang Yun for the past few days, but Ao Huang was different. He only knew how to play in Dongting Lake or the Yangtze River every day. Fang Yun simply appointed him as the Commander of the Demon Army in Xiangzhou. He was in charge of all the aquatic demons nearby and was responsible for training them.
Ao Huang liked her current identity very much. She left early and returned late every day, having a lot of fun.
Fang Yun's private soldiers had long since arrived in Elephant Province and settled down in Baling City.
The ninth month had just passed. Fang Yun saw that it was about time and began to announce the reorganization of Xiangzhou's officialdom.
This was the first time Fang Yun was in charge of a province instead of a county.
A county was only the size of a palm, so Fang Yun could take care of everything. However, a province had several prefectures and nearly a hundred counties. Unless Fang Yun stopped studying and spent all his time on this, he might be able to completely control them. Otherwise, he would have to delegate his power and rely on the entire bureaucratic system to operate, not himself.
Throughout history, anyone who thought they had absolute control over the officialdom would be mocked by reality and later generations.
In this reorganization, Fang Yun's first step was to reorganize the style of writing in the yamen. He required all the yamen to gradually use the vulgar characters set by the People's Daily. He strived to completely use vulgar characters for office work within two years. At the same time, Fang Yun set reasonable standards for the format, content, length, and other aspects of the documents. This greatly saved the officials' time.
After the order to reorganize the style of writing was issued, except for a few stubborn old people who had some objections, the officials in charge of writing the documents were mostly cheering. They liked to use the faster and simpler vulgar characters the most.
The reorganization of the style of writing did not meet with any real resistance. The officials of Xiangzhou discovered that Fang Yun's reform did not affect their interests. No one stood out to oppose it. As a result, the atmosphere in Xiangzhou's officialdom eased up.
As the fifteenth day of the ninth month approached, even Fang Yun slowed down the reorganization.
The fifteenth day of the ninth month was the day of the High Scholar Examination.
In recent years, due to the constant changes in Wenqu Planet, the number of people participating in the High Scholar Examinations had greatly increased.
There were a total of seventy thousand people participating in the High Scholar Examinations in Xiangzhou. When Fang Yun took the Imperial Examinations, there were only thirty thousand people participating in the High Scholar Examinations in all of Jingguo.
This was Fang Yun's first time presiding over the High Scholar Examinations. As such, he went to the Institute of Literature in Baling early in the morning to prepare.
When the time came, Fang Yun led the examinees into the examination hall to pay respects to the saints. After the examinees entered the examination room, Fang Yun chatted with the other officials in the Institute of Literature.
Everyone chatted about all sorts of things, but mainly about Xiangzhou's civil and political affairs.
The High Scholar Examinations were of utmost importance. All the examinees' official seals were cut off from the outside world. This was the case even for Fang Yun. However, Fang Yun was slightly better off than the others. He could browse the literary rankings, but he could not post or reply to them.
The examinees had to take the examinations for three days. Fang Yun and the others had to stay here for three days.
When it was lunchtime, the officials went to the dining hall to eat.
Halfway through the meal, Fang Yun suddenly turned his head to look at the six bailiffs who were eating in the corner.
The rest of the people also looked at the six bailiffs. The dining hall suddenly quieted down.
The six bailiffs quickly realized that Xusheng was looking at them. They were so frightened that they put down their bowls and chopsticks and hurriedly stood up. They looked at Fang Yun in panic, not knowing what to do.
Fang Yun said amiably, "The few of you, come over here."
The six bailiffs looked at each other and slowly walked towards Fang Yun. It was not that they did not want to walk quickly, but their legs were weak and could not walk quickly. One of the more timid ones was so frightened that he almost cried.
The atmosphere in the dining hall was very tense.
When the six bailiffs came closer, Fang Yun smiled and said, "Don't be nervous. It's not a big deal. I just heard that you were discussing today's examination. You said that there were two students who were rejected because there was a problem with their examination tokens?"
The six bailiffs secretly breathed a sigh of relief. The oldest bailiff cupped his hands and said, "Reporting to Governor, there is indeed such a matter. The two examinees' examination tokens were not issued by the government. They were replaced by someone else. It was a fake examination token."
"This kind of thing seems to be rare." Fang Yun said.
Dong Wencong who was at the side said, "It is indeed rare. But when I was in the county level examinations, I encountered people whose examination tokens were replaced and were unable to enter the examination hall."
Fang Yun asked the bailiffs, "What else do you know about the examination tokens being replaced?"
The bailiffs hurriedly replied, "As it was not deliberately damaged or cheating, we only let the two of them leave. The two of them stood not far from the entrance and discussed for a while. They seemed to suspect that it was done by one of their classmates. They quickly found that person, but that person just happened to enter the examination hall. The two of them did not dare to rush into the examination hall and could only leave. The younger one left crying. "
"En." Fang Yun said and suddenly closed his eyes. Qi surged around his body and in front of him appeared a book of history. It was a bamboo scroll.
The officials in the dining hall were stunned. Then some of the older and higher officials showed a look of horror. Especially Dong Wencong, who did not care about his image and opened his mouth wide.
After a few breaths, Fang Yun opened his eyes and nodded, "I know. You did well. The six of you can go back."
The six bailiffs were relieved and went back happily. To be praised by Xusheng, it was enough for them to show off for a lifetime.
Dong Wencong asked in disbelief, "Governor, you can't be recalling memories, right?"
"Exactly." Fang Yun smiled.
Everyone present looked at Fang Yun in surprise. This was an ability that only a great scholar could have. They did not expect Fang Yun to be able to do it when he was still a great scholar.
A person will encounter all kinds of complicated information. Most of it is useless, so they will instinctively ignore a lot of information. For example, when walking on the road, you can see everyone's face clearly, but no one will remember the faces of strangers. It will not be useful in the future.
Fang Yun had the ability to recall memories. Even after a few months, as long as he needed, he could find everyone he had met from the depths of his memory. Even if he did not deliberately remember before, as long as they were in his sight, he could find them.
