Food was the most important thing for the people. The population growth of any country was built on enough food.
Fang Yun smiled faintly. Ji Zhibai came to Ning An County to be the county magistrate because he had basically given up on farming. Mount Liu forced him to come to Ning An County because he wanted to cut off his foundation in farming and thus cut off any future achievements in this field.
However, Fang Yun faced the difficulties head-on.
After leaving the farm, Fang Yun went to the workshop again. Normal mechanisms and combat mechanisms were fundamentally different. They were two completely different directions.
Combat mechanisms often used moonstones as a source of energy and used qi to control them. They did not need the skills of normal mechanisms. For example, the most popular mechanical beasts were actually based on the bodies of demons and barbarians.
This caused the most elite mechanical engineers to focus on how to activate the power of the demons and barbarians. They did not have a deep understanding of the mechanisms of the engineers themselves. Moreover, although mechanical engineers knew a lot of mechanism techniques, it took a long time to form these techniques into a systematic theory and spread it.
Even ten million craftsmen could not compare to one Newton.
After confirming that there were no problems with the workshop, Fang Yun returned to the yamen to investigate.
On the morning of the 15th of March, Yang Yuhuan personally helped Fang Yun change into his official uniform.
After breakfast, Fang Yun took a carriage to the county literature institute.
On the way, Fang Yun was exceptionally quiet, but his heart was unsettled.
Today was his first time presiding over the imperial examinations!
Ao Huang was also a little nervous. He did not say a word in the carriage. He originally did not have the qualifications to participate in the county examination, but he had the Notre-Dame's special permission. He could follow Fang Yun and participate in the entire process of the county examination.
The carriage stopped at the county literature institute's plaza. Fang Yun got off the carriage and the officials in front immediately came to greet him.
At the front were two examiners. One was Deng Xuezheng from the prefectural literature institute, the other was Jun Wengu from the county institute. Logically speaking, they were both officials from the literature institute and should be opposing the left minister's faction.
However, in Mi Zhou, besides the civil officials and the Soaring Eagle Army, more than half of the literature institute officials were students of the left minister.
Ever since Fang Yun came to Ning An County, the county magistrate, Jun Wengu, had almost no interaction with Fang Yun. Especially the affairs of the Academy of Arts, not a single word was mentioned. By completely excluding Fang Yun, it was obvious that he was trying to prevent Fang Yun from getting a good grade in the "Enlightenment" subject.
"Greetings, County Magistrate Fang!" The two examiners greeted in unison.
After that, the officials behind the two examiners also greeted them.
The spring breeze blew his white robe, making Fang Yun look even more elegant.
Fang Yun didn't even raise his hand. Nodding slightly, he swept his gaze across the crowd and said, "Good morning everyone. Constable Lu, are there enough soldiers and bailiffs outside to maintain order? "
"The arrangements have been made." Constable Lu Hong said.
"There are a lot of people in Ning An County. Even if it takes thirty breaths for each person to be examined, each entrance can only examine about two hundred people in two hours. There are nearly 40,000 examinees. Have you decided on the teams? "
"We temporarily borrowed soldiers from the Beimang Army and formed a total of 200 checkpoints. The examination has already begun, but they have not been allowed to enter yet. "
"Have the examination papers and papers been printed?" Fang Yun continued to ask. The so-called examination papers were blank papers for the students to use, but they also had the meaning of blank examination papers. Blank papers were not mentioned in the examination hall.
"It has been prepared. The examination papers and papers have been placed on the ox cart and can be distributed at any time."
"Some of the students did not bring lunch. Have you prepared additional meals?"
"It is already being prepared. There is enough food for at least three thousand people."
"When did the examination of the bailiffs of the Academy of Arts take place?"
"Yesterday, we asked the medical experts to examine them one by one using medical books. There are no diseases …"
Fang Yun asked slowly. He listed out all the possible problems that one might encounter in the imperial examination and quickly asked about some minor problems. He immediately sent someone to make up for them.
Some of the officials present were impatient because Fang Yun's questions were too trivial. It was rare for an examiner to ask such questions. However, those who had some brains could not help but secretly admire him. Such a cautious person, even if his talent was mediocre, his future achievements would far exceed that of ordinary people.
Fang Yun only finished after half an hour of questioning. He turned to Ao Huang and said, "Arrange the questions I asked today and write it into a 'County Examination Examination Procedure'. Place it in the county office. In the future, hold this document for examination during the county examination. The imperial examination is an important matter and cannot be taken lightly. "
"Yes!" Ao Huang immediately took out the document and looked at the other officials with disdain. It was as if he was saying, "Look at Fang Yun, then look at you. Not only do you have to do well, but you also have to form a system to ensure that future generations can do well." This was what it meant to be in charge of a region. This was what it meant to do things!
Some of the officials with brains immediately woke up. Some things seemed simple, but the attitude and the way to do it were very important. These small things accumulated enough, and in the end, it was enough to make the gap between two people as big as the abyss.
A few officials secretly remembered this matter in their hearts and seriously stared at Fang Yun.
They all felt that Fang Yun was different from other county magistrates. He was not only worthy of respect, but also worthy of learning. Whether it was his attitude or the way he did things, it made people with brains feel as if they were bathing in the spring breeze.
Some people compared Fang Yun with last year's substitute county magistrate Ji Zhibai. They suddenly found that although Ji Zhibai was close to officials and close to the people, he was obviously arrogant and completely isolated himself from the other officials and people.
However, Fang Yun was different. He did things. Whether it was to ordinary people or to the county magistrate, his attitude was surprisingly consistent. This meant that Fang Yun's attitude had long surpassed that of Ji Zhibai and was close to the level of being one with the whole world.
Only people who had the heart of the whole tribe could treat everyone equally.
When facing Ji Zhibai, these officials only wanted to curry favor with him and hope not to offend him. However, when facing Fang Yun, they all knew that as long as they did their jobs well, nothing would happen. There was no need to deliberately curry favor with him. However, if they deliberately made an enemy of Fang Yun, something would definitely happen.
These people had doubts in their hearts because they had never met someone like Fang Yun. However, they knew in their hearts that the current county magistrate was better than the previous county magistrate!
After questioning the officials, Fang Yun personally questioned the soldiers in the academic courtyard. He also personally looked at the sealed test papers and chose a path to walk from beginning to end. He observed all the furnishings in the examination rooms and pointed out some flaws.
Fang Yun's tone was very calm. He did not blame anyone or punish anyone. He only gave a simple reminder so that many people would remember his words. However, they were not worried that he would make things difficult for the officials who did not do things carefully enough.
In a short two hours, Fang Yun controlled the entire situation in the examination room. It even gave people the illusion that the county examination was arranged by Fang Yun. If something happened, they could not blame Fang Yun. They could only blame those people for not doing things well.
From beginning to end, Fang Yun gave the officials the feeling that he was working together with all the officials to ensure the county examination was done well. He did not randomly direct the work as the county magistrate.
When the time came, Fang Yun and the officials walked to the front of the Divine Temple and stood there.
Fang Yun's back was to the Divine Temple and he faced the entrance of the academic courtyard.
The front door was wide open, and a large number of students carrying backpacks rushed in. Fang Yun only felt a vigorous vigor rushing towards him. Everyone was hope and future, surging more than the sun rising from the east, more powerful than the rushing river.
Fang Yun straightened his back and swept his gaze over these students with a smile on his face. Faint ripples emerged in his heart.
Last March, Fang Yun was still one of them.
