The people on both sides of the street were even more shocked than Fang Yun. Even Rong Xiucai could only stare at Ao Huang.
Fang Yun did not expect Liu Yu to not have guessed it, so he said half-jokingly, "No, since I've met you, of course I have to sit down and chat. How can I just leave like that?"
No matter how ignorant Liu Yu was, he could tell that something was wrong. He blinked and said, "Master Fang, is there something wrong?"
Fang Yun smiled and took out a scroll from the Jiangyue Shell. He handed it to Liu Yu and said, "Look at it yourself."
"Oh?" Liu Yu took the document and read it carefully. He blinked and hurriedly rubbed his eyes to read it a second time.
"My … my eyes aren't playing tricks on me, right?" Liu Yu rubbed his eyes again and read the scroll for the first time.
After reading it, Liu Yu's face turned red and his whole body trembled. He looked at Fang Yun and said excitedly, "Master … Master Fang, is … is this real?"
Fang Yun smiled and said, "From today onwards, you will be the 'Chief Supervisor of Ning An County Workshop'. As for the rewards, they are all real. Chief Supervisor Liu! "
"Ah? It's real? "Liu Yu looked at Fang Yun blankly. His eyes had lost focus and his soul had left his body.
Madam Liu whispered at the door, "What Chief Supervisor and Madam Liu? It's just a cover."
Liu Shiyuan, who was in his teens, ran to his grandfather's side and read the words on the scroll while jumping.
"… Official Liu Yu. His work is solid and his skills are excellent. His tools are excellent. He is the Chief Supervisor of Ning An County Workshop … Ah? He will also be rewarded with a house. Silk and cloth, jewelry, jade, and 100 taels of gold. 300 taels of silver? We're rich! Grandma, our family is rich! "
Madam Liu was stunned!
She did not understand the official words praising Liu Yu at the beginning, but she understood the silk, jade, gold, and silver clearly.
"Really? It's all real? "Madam Liu's whole body trembled even more than Liu Yu's.
Liu Yu held the scroll in his hands and could not stop his tears from flowing. At first, he just cried silently, but soon he covered his face and cried loudly.
He was an elite worker who had been forgotten by Jingguo for decades. Today, he finally received true recognition!
Liu Yu didn't need money! He didn't care about profit!
He cared if his hard work and dedication were recognized and affirmed!
But he waited for decades. No one gave it to him!
Those laughable awards, those understated praises, and those thin reward documents were nothing more than the high and mighty officials trying to save face, to show that they valued the people at the bottom. It was a bait created with false feelings.
They had failed to live up to the trust of countless people. It was as if they had betrayed them.
Until Fang Yun personally handed the document to Liu Yu.
One of Liu Yu's granddaughters whispered, "Grandpa has been promoted and made a fortune. Why is he crying? Are they all bad? "
Everyone was stunned. They could barely understand what the little girl meant. The child's mother hurriedly said, "It's happiness! Grandpa was happy. It's all good. "
"Oh! Yes, I'm happy too. "The little girl smiled.
Rong Xiucai looked at the crying Liu Yu with a complicated expression on his face. He silently turned around and left.
The moment he turned around, Rong Xiucai saw from the corner of his eye that Fang Yun was smiling at him. It was a smile, but Rong Xiucai felt chills all over his body and his hair stood on end.
"He … knows me?" Rong Xiucai's legs turned to jelly and he stumbled as he walked. He didn't have the courage to turn around and verify the authenticity of the smile.
The people behind Fang Yun carried the gift boxes and sent the rewards into the Liu family's house.
Liu Yu cried for a while. Fang Yun stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder. "Don't cry. The neighbors are all watching. "
"Okay." Liu Yu hurriedly wiped away his tears and snot. He raised his head, revealing his red and swollen eyes.
Fang Yun smiled. "Since the appointment document is in your hands, I'll go back now. Today, I'll buy some good wine and dishes to celebrate. "
"Huh? You … you're not coming to my house to eat? "
"No need. There will be a lot of people coming to your house today. I won't join in the fun. Goodbye, everyone. "
Fang Yun gave a fist salute to the Liu family.
"Goodbye, Brother Fang! Goodbye, Brother Long! " The children waved their arms vigorously. In their eyes, Ao Huang was more attractive than Fang Yun.
"Little brats." Ao Huang curled his lips, wagged his tail, and returned to the carriage proudly.
"Farewell, Fang Xusheng!" Liu Yu bowed and sent him off.
"Farewell, Fang Xusheng!"
"Quick, kowtow to Fang Xusheng!" Liu Yu's son and daughter-in-law immediately asked the children to kneel.
The children smiled and knelt down, kowtowing to Fang Yun's carriage seriously.
After Fang Yun's carriage left, the entire street, including the people from nearby streets, rushed to the Liu family's house!
"Old Liu, you've finally been promoted. No, you must hold a banquet!"
"Good people are rewarded!"
"Heaven has eyes!"
"Bullshit, it's Magistrate Fang who has eyes! Those county magistrates are all blind! "
"Comparing those dog officials to Fang Xusheng is the same as insulting Fang Xusheng!"
"Yes, yes, yes. Elder Liu will hold a banquet tomorrow and invite all the neighbors. You must come! "
"Of course! My parents have been friends with Elder Liu for decades. They will definitely come to help tomorrow! "
"Hehe, good news, good news …"
Notre-Dame, Wen Bao's Editorial Board.
"Quick, quick, quick … It's Fang Xusheng's article. We can't delay it!" A High Scholar rushed into the Editorial Board's main hall.
A scholar frowned and said, "The layout has already been decided. The Hall of Works has already asked for six pages for Fang Xusheng. Why does he still want to personally write an article for Wen Bao?"
"Maybe he didn't communicate well with the Hall of Works. The young man is a bit anxious. Others don't know, but we all know. With his contributions, it's understandable that he wants to get credit for himself in Wen Bao. After all, before the publication, there will be three Half-saint examiners who will exclude the Court Examinations. Fang Xusheng is definitely better than others in the Governance, Prison, and Construction subjects. However, in the other subjects, he's much worse. I'm afraid he'll still be a D grade. "
"Fang Xusheng is honest. He's seriously improving himself in each subject. He's not like the others who work on all ten subjects in order to appear in Wen Bao's Court Examinations rankings. Based on the current rankings, ten subjects are C and lower, which is better than one subject B and nine subjects D."
"Bring it up. Let's see Fang Xusheng's recommendation article." Scholar Song, who was in the middle, waved his hand. A stack of papers flew in front of him and lined up.
Scholar Song's eyes swept across the paper and read the entire article in a breath. His eyes lit up and he said, "This reward isn't special, but compared to Lei Shu Mountain's article, it's obvious which one is better! Take a look. "
The other two scholars quickly finished reading Fang Yun's reward for Liu Yu and the contents of Liu Yu's promotion.
"Once this article is published, together with the Hall of Works' promotion, Fang Xusheng will become the trendsetter of the School of Gonggong after the rising star of the School of Military and the young phoenix of the School of Medicine."
"This article is basically pointing at Lei Shu Mountain's' Path of Poverty and Pleasure '. It's almost like a loud slap to the face."
"I really don't know if it's the work of the aides or Fang Xusheng's idea alone. It's like an antelope hanging its horn, untraceable. "
"This article is worth reading. I wonder how Lei Shu Mountain and the others will deal with it. There's going to be a good show to watch."
The three scholars laughed as they redrafted the new page of Wen Bao on the first day of March.
Not far away, the three editors of the Holy Road didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Who would have thought that Fang Yun, Lei Shu Mountain, and Mo Shan would all write an article about the improvement of the Flower Tickle Mechanism? Based on their standards, all three articles were qualified to be published in Holy Road. However, if all three articles were published together, all the scholars in the world would laugh. Especially when Mo Shan didn't forget to add a story about Lei Shu Mountain's "first moment" at the end.
"Forget it. Put the three articles together and let the scholars judge for themselves!"
