If one person dominated the poetry, legalism, and gongism sections, his influence would exceed that of the national poetry section. As for the content, other than the legalists and gongists, most people didn't care.
They only knew that if those essays were qualified to be published in the Holy Road, they must be very important!
In the Ning An County yamen, many aides gathered in Fang Yun's house. They either held the Holy Road or read the Wen Pao.
The essays that Fang Yun submitted to the Holy Road were highly confidential. Before they were published, only Ao Huang and Yang Yuhuan could read them. Little Fox, Little Liu Xing, Inkstone Turtle, and Mo Nu were included. Everyone else, including Su Xiaoxiao and Fang Yingwu, were not allowed to read them.
Fang Yingwu walked over with the Wen Pao and said, "Sir, you're too proud. You didn't get first place in the Wen Pao court examination in March."
"It's fine. I've always said that the one who laughs last laughs best," Fang Yundao said as he looked at the court examination rankings.
At present, the highest ranking in the Court Examination was not Lei Shushan and Mo Shan, who had achieved B-grade in fortifications. It was not Fang Yun, who had achieved B-grade in prisons and fortifications, C-grade in governance, and C-grade in literature. It was Xiang Lancheng, who had not attracted much attention.
As the son-in-law of the Zong family, he wasn't famous outside of Gyeongo. However, he had shown great ability in the court examination.
Fang Yun had been in Ning An County for almost a month, but he had only achieved something in Prison, Fortification, Administration, and Literature. He had only achieved the most basic grade in the other six subjects. However, Xiang Lancheng had achieved something in all ten subjects!
Xiang Lancheng hadn't achieved B-grade in any of the subjects, but he had achieved C-grade in one. He had achieved C-grade in seven subjects and C-grade in two subjects. According to the rankings announced by the Notre-Dame, he was ranked first above Fang Yun.
This ranking was based on the total score of the ten subjects. Unless someone achieved A-grade in one of the subjects, the ranking would be based on the basic rules.
The second place wasn't Fang Yun. It was Yan Yukong. This person was the same as Xiang Lancheng. Although he hadn't achieved B-grade in any of the subjects, he had achieved C-grade in all ten subjects. His total score was higher than Fang Yun's.
The eleven people from third to thirteenth had the same total score in all ten subjects. Those who were tied for third place were all elites from their respective countries.
Fang Yun was fourth.
Ao Huang complained, "You clearly know the rules of the rankings, so why didn't you fight for first place from the beginning?"
Fang Yun retorted, "If I don't pay attention to a few subjects and cast a wide net, what will happen to the Left Minister's party?"
Ao Huang suddenly understood. The other Jinshi in the Palace Examination must have the cooperation of all the officials in the county, so they could make the ten subjects progress together. If Fang Yun did the same, he would be sabotaged by the officials of the Left Prime Minister's party. Because it was impossible for one person to take care of everything.
Fang Yun continued, "This kind of governance model that casts a wide net can naturally obtain better results in the beginning, but it will be difficult to reach the top in the end. .. ... have....... "........
"Oh? Then what is your shortcoming? "Ao Huang asked.
. Fang Yun thought for a moment, then said, "I can only get first place if I'm too late."
. Ao Huang and the nearby aides rolled their eyes. The little fox giggled.
"What an arrogant guy! But … it's true. "Ao Huang was discouraged by the fact that he couldn't refute Fang Yun's words.
. Fang Yundao said, "Let's stop joking. I will completely reform all the textile machinery and release the labor force. Then, I will choose a workshop as a pilot and slowly implement the performance evaluation. Two months later, I will start promoting it to all the workshops. If nothing goes wrong, the fortifications will be A-grade! "
.. "Of course!" Ao Huang said.
"As for the prison, it's too complicated. If you're not careful when dealing with a big case, your rating will be greatly lowered. It's very different from the fortifications. You must pay attention to it from the beginning to the end.
. "Ao Huang said," If you talk to the workshop owners now and convict them, other than raising the prison's rating, it will also be considered an achievement in governance. It's killing two birds with one stone. However, now that those workshop owners have been dealt with, it will be difficult to promote them in the future. "
. Fang Yun smiled and said, "The workshop owners have been dealt with? Who said so? "
.. "Ah? Haven't the county owners and the imperial workshop owners been dealt with? Are you going to take it one step further? That's going to be a big problem! "Ao Huang said.
The surrounding aides were also very curious. Some workshop owners had been severely punished and fired by Fang Yun, while others had stayed on. If he wanted to deal with them again, he could only target the workshop owners who stayed on. This would be very disadvantageous for Ning An County.
. Fang Yundao said, "No, I want to deal with the former county owners."
"Ah? This dragon roughly understands. You're talking about the former workshop owners who made mistakes and were fired? You want to punish them severely? "Ao Huang suddenly realized.
. Fang Yundao said, "No. I'm targeting those workshop owners who lost all their money but were able to purchase them in the end. "
The expressions of the aides changed slightly. Fang Yingwu immediately said, "Sir, can we discuss this in the study?"
Fang Yun nodded and said, "Although I know what you want to say, I still want to hear it."
Fang Yun and Fang Yingwu headed to the study. Ao Huang's eyes darted around as he hurriedly followed them in, using his draconic power to isolate the inside from the outside.
Fang Yun glanced at Ao Huang, who immediately said with a smile, "I'll keep watch for you!"
Ao Huang turned around, his back facing Fang Yun.
Fang Yun smiled and invited Fang Yingwu to sit down. "Yingwu, speak."
Fang Yingwu pondered for a moment, organizing his words before saying, "If you punish those workshop owners, it'll be the same as fighting the Minister of the Left. In the current situation, this isn't a wise choice. After all, Mishou is no longer surnamed Zhao but Liu. "
Ao Huang was puzzled, but he listened attentively.
Fang Yingwu continued, "Back then, there were a large number of workshops in Mishou that were facing closure due to poor management. Minister of the Left … at that time, Mount Liu wasn't the Minister of the Left and was only the Mishou Overseer. He did a series of things that everyone thought were out of line. First, he issued a court bulletin, saying that there were four main reasons why the workshops in Mishou were not doing well. The first reason was that the management system of the workshops was backward and couldn't adapt to human development. The second reason was that the mechanism technology was backward, and better mechanisms needed to be introduced. The third reason was that the workshop owners and officials were corrupt. The last reason was that the workers were undisciplined and incompetent. "
Ao Huang asked curiously, "The workers were undisciplined and incompetent? As long as the workshop owners managed things well, who would dare be undisciplined? Would they dare to object if the workshop owners worked for them? It was obvious that the workshop owners weren't in the mood to manage things. How could the workers be the main reason? "
Fang Yun scolded, "Listen more and speak less. Wait until Yingwu finishes speaking before you come to a conclusion. "
"Oh," Ao Huang said unwillingly.
