After bidding farewell to Li Wenying, Fang Yun went home.
Yang Yuhuan was waiting for him with the little fox in her arms. She was not sleepy at all. Fang Yun had just woken up when he met his friends from the Holy Ground. Then, Magistrate Dong came to visit. Then, he continued to write policy. After returning, he did not have a good chat with Yang Yuhuan.
Fang Yun did not want to say too much, but he knew Yang Yuhuan's pain. They grew up together. After being separated for so many days, Yang Yuhuan must be suffering in her heart.
Therefore, Fang Yun carried Nunu and chatted with Yang Yuhuan for an hour. When it was late at night, he let Yang Yuhuan go to sleep.
Nunu was sleepy. She did not go to Yang Yuhuan's room or her own nest. Instead, she grabbed Fang Yun's clothes and hung it on his chest to sleep.
Fang Yun had no choice but to let it hang there.
Fang Yun shook off all the drunkenness with his talent and courage. He began to write policy.
Policy was actually the examiner asking and the examinee answering.
Fang Yun had studied Game Theory a long time ago, and it was very similar to exam-oriented writing. There were traces to be found in the structure, and there were also similarities in writing methods. However, there must be substance in the words and practical solutions. Otherwise, no matter how good the structure and literary skills were, it would be useless. It would be like an embroidered pillow with a belly full of idiocy. It would not be able to get a good rating.
Fang Yun thought and learned as he wrote policy. At the same time, he looked for his shortcomings and strengths. Soon, he found that he had a natural advantage in writing policy. That was because he had received too much advanced knowledge and ideas.
Not to mention what he had learned, even if he had seen it on the news or heard it from others, as long as he took out a little of it, he would be much better than his peers in this era.
The gap between generations was not something that could be made up by human strength.
Fang Yun had a vague guess in his heart. His current level of knowledge was at the level of a Jinshi. After all, he had not learned it before. However, the level of policy theory was even higher than that of the great Confucian scholars. It was not that the great Confucian scholars were not good enough, but that they had reached the level of the great Confucian scholars. They did not consider the policy of governing the country at all. What they considered was the Divine Path. In the eyes of the great Confucian scholars, governing a country was not even as good as mechanical techniques.
If the human race could not resist the demon race, no matter how good the strategy of governing a country was, it would be useless.
The more Fang Yun wrote, the more proficient he became. Because it was a work of practice, he used the method of mixing truth and falsehood. His idea was lofty, but the solution completely depended on the method that should be used in this era. Truly surpassing this era's policy theories and answers would have to be used in the imperial examinations or later.
"I'll have three years as long as the Saints of the Barbarian and Demon Race agree to bet with me. However, if his performance was too outstanding, the Saints of the demonic and barbarian races would most likely make a move in advance. Previously, you got an A for your poems and scriptures. For this High Scholar Examinations, you can write your own poems and scriptures. You don't have to write them too well. However, this is your first time taking the Strategy Examinations, so you should give it your all. "
Fang Yun made up his mind and began to focus on writing his policy paper. The little fox was sleeping peacefully on his chest, smiling from time to time. He didn't know what kind of beautiful dream he was having.
He wrote until four o 'clock in the morning. Fang Yun fell asleep.
At six o 'clock, Fang Yun woke up on time and found the little fox staring at him with bright eyes.
"What's wrong? Are you afraid that I'll run away? "Fang Yun asked with a smile.
Nunu nodded gently.
Fang Yun looked around the room. There was no one else but a small meteor flying foolishly in the air. He asked Nunu, "Do you remember the white feather that you gave me before I went to the Holy Ground?"
Nunu blinked.
"What kind of power was that? How could it block the attack left behind by the Demon Ancestor in the Comet Corridor? "Fang Yun remembered it clearly. That kind of power was simply too terrifying. Billions of stars crashed into him together. No words could describe it.
Nunu blinked again. However, there was confusion in his eyes.
Fang Yun smiled. "What's wrong? You don't understand the human language again?"
Nunu nodded happily.
Fang Yun rolled his eyes. "If you don't want to say it, then don't say it. You can say it whenever you want."
Fang Yun raised his hands and Nunu shook them gently. The little fox giggled and wagged its tail in the air. It was very happy.
Fang Yun got up and walked out with Nunu in his arms. He glanced at the official seal. Because there was no urgent message, he didn't read it. He left the bedroom to wash up and eat.
After breakfast, Fang Yun rested for a while before returning to his room to read the message. However, Fang Daniu came in to report that someone had sent him something again. He couldn't refuse it.
Fang Yun immediately put down the official seal and went out with Fang Daniu. He saw a dozen or so people standing outside the door and chatting in low voices.
"Fang Yun greets everyone." Fang Yun cupped his hands.
Everyone was overjoyed and also bowed.
"Thank you for your kindness. Yesterday's banquet was over. I hope you don't send me anything again. Otherwise, I'll have to hold another banquet." Fang Yun smiled.
"It's fine. We sent you something. If you can use it, then use it. If you can't use it, then keep it or give it to others. This morning, I heard that the officials from the capital were on their way. You are already a Marquis. I thought I wouldn't be able to see you. "An old man said.
"I am the Marquis of Literature. I am also a scholar." Fang Yun smiled.
The others wanted to chat with Fang Yun. However, a scholar said unhappily, "We are not here to cause trouble for Fang Zhenguo. We are here to thank him. Fang Zhenguo is going to participate in the state examination next month. Aren't you harming him by chatting with him? Brother Fang, please go back to your studies. We are here to express our gratitude. If we delay your studies, it will be a serious crime. "
Everyone immediately came to their senses and persuaded Fang Yun to go back.
"Marquis Fang, please go back to your studies. Don't worry. I will stand here today. No matter who is here, I will say that you came out to study because of the state examination. If anyone dares to say that you don't care about the people of Jingguo, I will scold them to death! "The old man hurriedly said.
"I have nothing to do today. I will also stay here to persuade the guests." The scholar said.
Fang Yun knew that they had good intentions. Hence, he clasped his hands and thanked them. He also arranged for Fang Daniu and the rest to set up a tent and prepare water outside. He could not let these people tire themselves out. Then, he returned to his study.
When he returned to his study, Fang Yun took out his official seal and quickly read through the letters.
These letters contained all sorts of things. Some congratulated him, some asked about his personal matters, some wished to befriend him, and some even tried to claim kinship.
Fang Yun was having a headache. He could not reply to some of the letters. Hence, he could only deal with the important ones first.
Ceng Yuan had already sent a letter. As there were many people and families participating in the bet, he had already left for Kong City. Since he was in charge of this big bet, he did not bid farewell to Fang Yun. He would talk to him when he returned.
His good friends also sent him letters to ridicule him, including his old classmates from the Grand Source Residence and even Ji County. At the same time, there was also a person he was very familiar with but not very close to. Fang Li was his clan brother, but their blood relationship was very weak. His son was Fang Zhongyong, the former prodigy of Ji County.
Fang Yun remembered when he became a scholar. Fang Li had also sent a letter to congratulate him.
This time, Fang Li's letter was even more corny than the previous one. It was especially corny, especially at the beginning.
Letters were different from formal letters. Due to the need to conserve talent, all kinds of titles were simplified. Logically speaking, when someone of the same generation sent a letter to Fang Yun, they would write "Fang Yun" or simply "My younger brother, Fang Yun". However, Fang Li's letter began with the attitude of an elder, "Marquis Wen, I am pleased to hear that you are the best scholar in the state and strengthen the prestige of our country. I … … "
Fang Yun shook his head as he read. He spoke a lot of nonsense, but in the end, he revealed Fang Li's true intentions.
Fang Li hoped to "merge the clan" with Fang Yun. He wanted to become the adopted son of Fang Yun's uncle. That way, the two of them would become relatives within the clan, and their relationship would be much closer than before. In the worst case, Fang Zhongyong would be adopted by Fang Yun's cousin. That way, Fang Zhongyong would become Fang Yun's nephew.
Fang Yun finished reading the letter. He felt a wave of disgust. It was human nature to pursue fame and fortune. He also needed fame and fortune. However, Fang Li's unscrupulous behavior was unacceptable.
After thinking for a moment, Fang Yun replied to Fang Li, hoping that he would consider it seriously.
After Fang Yun sent the letter to Fang Li, he sat at the table and thought for a long time. He also flipped through the World of Wondrous Books. After reading a famous book three times, he took out a piece of paper and wrote a letter to the patriarch of the Fang clan.
"Patriarch, your grandson, Fang Yun, respectfully reports: Time has passed, and seasons have flowed. Since we parted in Ji County … …"
Fang Yun began the letter with a normal opening. He first sighed with emotion, then reminisced. It was a greeting from a grandson to his grandfather. The words used were simple and easy to understand.
After that, Fang Yun explained the purpose of his visit. He said that he had heard that someone had used his name to do rude things. He hoped that the old patriarch would not destroy the Fang family's reputation, and that he should be more strict with them.
After that, Fang Yun wrote a letter to Fang Daniu's father, and then to his cousin who was studying. He wrote a total of three letters.
The contents of the three letters were different. The first letter was to ask the patriarch to discipline the children of the clan. The second letter was to talk about some family matters with his uncle. As for his cousin, he used the tone of an elder to admonish him, telling him to study hard and not waste his time.
After writing the three letters, Fang Yun looked at them again before nodding his head.
Fang Yun knew that he was young and had never written a letter before. Therefore, after repeatedly reading 'Zeng Guofan's Letter to the Family' and learning from this famous scholar, he began to write.
'Zeng Guofan's Letter to the Family' was the most famous letter to the family in China. It had been popular for a hundred years and had not declined. It might be controversial to say that Zeng Guofan was the most famous official in modern times, but if one were to list the top five officials of the Qing dynasty, he would definitely be one of them. If one were to talk about military strategy, literature, Confucianism, and the qualities of an official, no one in the modern times of the Qing dynasty was above him.
Fang Yun placed the three letters in separate envelopes. He called Fang Daniu over and said, "Send these three letters to the relay station. Buy more books, letters, and envelopes. I will use them often in the future. "
"Yes, Marquis!" Fang Daniu bent down and respectfully received the three letters with both hands.
Fang Yun smiled, "Brother Daniu, you don't have to be so courteous."
Fang Daniu said with a serious face, "Marquis's identity is no longer the same as before. You value our childhood friendship, but I cannot disobey the rules. If I don't obey the rules because I am your relative, how will I discipline the other servants when I have more family members in the future? I can disobey the rules, but if I lose your face because of this, then it will be a huge crime. In the past, I was not sensible, so I hope Marquis can be magnanimous. "
Fang Yun still wanted to say something, but in the end, he only smiled, "You set an example, which is worthy of praise. But when it's just the two of us, you don't have to be so reserved. Since you have the heart, then learn how to be a steward. "
Fang Daniu revealed an emotional expression, "Thank you, Marquis!"
"Go, the family still trusts you the most."
