Fang Yun had always lived in seclusion and did not participate in major events. Now that they finally had the chance, almost no one would give up on meeting Fang Yun. — —
From the corridor on the third floor to the stairs on the second floor, the stairs on the first floor were blocked.
Fang Yun was in a good mood, so it was convenient for him to meet everyone.
Most of the people who came were not from Jingguo. It was almost impossible for them to meet Fang Yun on a normal day. They did not need Fang Yun's help, but they had the heart of a human. Now that they had met the only living Illusionary Divine dream master of the human race, they had to meet him.
Most of them greeted Fang Yun and left after passing him their names or letters. Some of the leaders of the rich and powerful families also passed Fang Yun some poems or handbags.
Except for a few men who asked for Fang Yun's guidance, most of them were women's items. Some were love poems and some were embroidery. Their intentions were obvious.
Fang Yun took the items and waited for the other party to leave before handing them all to Yang Yuhuan.
"Jingguo's good husband." Zhao Hongzhuang covered her mouth and chuckled. Su Xiaoxiao also smiled and nodded.
Yang Yuhuan blushed, but she was happy.
After meeting everyone, Fang Yun was led to meet the people from the East Sea Dragon Palace by the manager of the trading company.
The five Dragons had already turned into humans and were very polite.
"Greetings, Fang Xusheng!" Led by Ao Qingyue, the Dragon Marquis, the dragons bowed together.
These five Dragons had met Fang Yun a few days ago. They had also heard Fang Yun's "Journey to the West". They were only polite to Fang Yun that day, but they were all respectful today.
Fang Yun was already Xusheng. His status was higher than ordinary Dragons.
"You're welcome." Fang Yun smiled.
Ao Huang swam over like a fish and chatted with the others with a smile.
The Azure Robe Dragon Marquis ignored him. The other four Dragons also looked at him with disdain. However, they did not really hate him. They were just joking. Ao Huang didn't care. He shamelessly talked to them about the recent situation of the East Sea Dragon Palace.
Fang Yun and the others laughed in their hearts. Just look at Ao Huang's despicable appearance. It was no wonder that those Dragons despised him. Fang Yun even suspected that the Eastern Sea Dragon Palace was eagerly waiting for Ao Huang to come to Saint Origin World and harm the human race.
The Azure Robed Dragon Marquis walked over and handed over a thick stack of white paper banknotes with golden words. These banknotes were not ordinary paper. They were mixed with a kind of silk from the Ancient Land of Confucius and some remnants of the materials used to create the Saint Pages. They were durable and could not be forged.
"Here are seventy pieces of Notre-Dame's banknotes worth ten million taels each, making a total of seven hundred million taels. As for the remaining three hundred million taels in banknotes, they would be delivered to the manor within two months. Of course, you can also ask for jewels worth 350 million taels instead. "
"Qing Yue, you are very considerate. However, I still want the banknotes. The whole of Jingguo can't handle so many jewels in a year. Plus, there's the tax on selling the jewels. It's better to just ask for the banknotes. "Fang Yundao said.
The Azure Robed Dragon Marquis smiled and said, "It's what I should do. As for the Dragon Pearl of the Holy Land, the one that belongs to you is not ready yet. However, it will definitely be delivered to you before the Holy Land opens its ancestral gate. "
Fang Yun smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. My goal this time is just to prepare the money. Being able to obtain the Dragon Pearl of the Holy Land is a pleasant surprise. However … is His Majesty Dragon Saint really willing to give such a precious item to me? "
"Of course. I don't know why Grandpa Dragon Saint gave it to you. I only know that during the Moon Tree Divine Punishment, Grandpa Dragon Saint blamed himself for not saving you with all his strength. When you reach the Holy Land, you will understand that the importance of this item is even greater than the legends. "
"Please thank His Majesty Dragon Saint for me. If there is a chance, I will definitely repay him generously. However, I hope that His Majesty Dragon Saint will be merciful. "Fang Yun said half-jokingly.
"Fang Xusheng is thinking too much." The Azure Robed Dragon Marquis laughed.
Soon after, Fang Yun received the rest of the banknotes from the manager of the trading company. After paying the fees and repairing the roof, he received a total of nine hundred and sixty million silver taels.
There were many rich families with assets exceeding nine hundred million silver taels, but there were no more than five families with nine hundred million silver taels.
With the silver taels. The family chatted and laughed as they returned to the Spring Garden. Meanwhile, Head Shopkeeper Tang was waiting in the side hall.
After dinner, Fang Yun chatted with Head Shopkeeper Tang in the study until late at night. This time, Head Shopkeeper Tang did not stay in the Fang Family and hurriedly left.
After the auction, Fang Yun returned to his usual routine.
Every day, he would read the Sacred Scriptures and learn the various skills from the Wondrous Book World. His main purpose was to learn knowledge that did not exist in the Saint Origin World, so that he could prepare himself for the position of county magistrate. At the same time, he would practice his sharp tongue and battle poems daily without slacking off.
Every day, Fang Yun would only sleep for two hours as usual.
After returning from the Spring Hunt, Fang Yun would still go to the academy to study every day. He would attend the "Court Examinations" and learn how to govern a county. After all, the results of the Court Examinations were extremely important and could not be taken lightly.
Fang Yun's status had changed, but his attitude towards his classmates did not change much. At first, the students of the academy were extremely excited when they saw Fang Yun, but they soon got used to it. However, they still maintained their etiquette and greeted Fang Yun respectfully when they saw him.
Fang Yun liked this change. He could occasionally walk around the academy, unlike before when he was afraid to walk around the academy.
Occasionally, Fang Yun would meet students who gathered together to discuss poems or essays. When they invited him, Fang Yun would also give them some pointers, allowing them to benefit a lot.
After a year of studying, Fang Yun's knowledge had improved by leaps and bounds. The amount of knowledge he had read was a hundred times more than the average Grand Scholar. He already had the embryonic form of being able to integrate all rivers into the sea.
Compared to last year, Fang Yun's footsteps were steadier, his gaze firmer, and his speech smoother.
Head Shopkeeper Tang came to the Fang residence almost every day.
On the afternoon of the 30th day of the first lunar month, Fang Yun was reading in the study when he heard a familiar voice outside the door.
"Fang Xusheng, it's done! More than a hundred shopkeepers in charge of the provinces, capitals, and Kong City worked together. More than a thousand shopkeepers from various prefectures worked in person. The shopkeepers of the bookstores in each county were in charge of this matter. 70% of the houses have been renovated, the books have been stored, and the manpower is in place. Everything is going according to your plan. The other 30% of the houses will need a few days to renovate or build new ones. What do you think? "
Head Shopkeeper Tang said as he pushed the door open and entered.
Fang Yun said slowly, "This matter concerns the Divine Path of Education. It's better to do it sooner rather than later. 70% of the districts are enough. Tomorrow's' Wen Pao 'has probably been finalized, but according to the usual practice, it will be printed tonight. There's still a chance now. With the ability of the Xuanting Bookstore, it shouldn't be difficult for this matter to be published tomorrow, right? If there's any difficulty, I'll do it myself. "
Head Shopkeeper Tang laughed and said, "It's a small matter. How can we trouble Lord Xusheng to do it personally? Don't worry. This matter will definitely appear in the 'Wen Pao', and at least on the second page. The possibility of it being on the first page is relatively small. "
"Then I'll have to trouble Head Shopkeeper Tang."
"You're welcome. However, I really admire your generosity. Just the cost of buying the houses is more than 200 million taels of silver. Adding other expenses, it's 250 million taels of silver. But this is just the beginning. When the time comes, you'll expand to other towns and the cost will double. After next year, you'll have to spend a lot of money every year to maintain it. "
"Money is just a worldly possession."
