On the ninth day, the main page of Prince Daily changed.

It turned into a huge ranking list.

The richest people in the capital have a ranking list of food reserves, and all the ministers in the court are on the list.

Of course, this ranking is based on the weight of food stored at home.

List them one by one from tens of thousands of stones to hundreds of stones.

As for how much food each official has in his home, it is of course up to Fang Zheng...

Of course, this is not a baseless fabrication. Within a few days, Fang Zheng ordered people to investigate all the dental shops, large and small, in the capital.

Although most of the land owned by senior officials in Beijing is in their hometowns, they also have land in Beijing. Combined with the size of the official position and their daily performance, they are ranked one by one.

Also attached is a short article that Fang Zheng rushed out overnight.

[If you don’t make decisions for the people when you are an official, it is better to go home and plant sweet potatoes]

The article explained in detail the difficult situation of the food disaster in the south, called on all officials in the court to donate food and money, and encouraged wealthy private households to also participate.

Those who are enthusiastic about donating food will also have the opportunity to place advertisements in newspapers first.

As soon as this edition of the newspaper came out, there was no doubt that it instantly detonated public opinion in the capital.

The gossip and hatred of the rich among countless people were aroused.

An important minister in the court actually has as much as tens of thousands of kilograms of food stored in his home. Damn it, when do you have to eat?

I don’t even dare to think about it with my limited imagination! I don’t know how much money their family still has?

It seems that there is no honest official in the court!

Except for Fang Zhengyi who is ranked at the bottom.

Fang Zhengyi's number is true. His family really didn't have much food to save, and the poor only had money left.

.....................

At noon, Li Yuanzhao looked a little restless holding the newspaper in the newspaper office.

Fang Zhengyi beside him was drinking tea leisurely.

Li Yuanzhao said anxiously: "Lao Fang, are our numbers a bit exaggerated? I'm a little worried..."

"Your Highness is scared?" Fang Zheng smiled.

Li Yuanzhao said meaningfully: "No, I'm just a little flustered. What should you and I do if the courtiers make a fuss tomorrow? I didn't expect that the matter would become such a big deal. Now it's going crazy outside."

"I didn't feel it before I sent the report. I am worried about you now..."

Fang Zhengyi smiled slightly and put down the tea cup: "I have already thought about it. The worst result is that I will be without an official position and become a young person. Your Majesty will never take away my title. I will return to Taoyuan County to retire when the time comes."

"His Royal Highness can also return to the East Palace to enjoy the blessings. It's a win-win for us no matter what!"

Li Yuanzhao looked angry: "Don't even think about it! I will bring you back when you go back to the palace!"

"If you have that time, why not think about how to solve tomorrow's problems."

Fang Zheng sighed and said: "What are you thinking about? I don't know what will happen. The soldiers will block it, and the water will cover it up."

"A bunch of human beings don't know what they're going to do to me yet, but now they're the ones being held on fire, so we don't have to worry yet!"

"Remember, Your Highness, no matter what they say in court tomorrow, we will force them to donate! If we force them to donate food first, then we will have won half the battle. We will talk about other things later."

The two were talking.

A hurried voice sounded at the top of the stairs: "Fang Zhengyi! Where is Fang Zhengyi! Get out!"

Fang Zheng looked at the stairs in shock, and smiled immediately when he saw the man.

He greeted warmly: "Uncle, why are you here?"

The reporters in the newspaper office focused their attention on the two of them.

Hiss, Mr. Fang’s uncle is here. It looks like the person who comes is not good!

The person who came was none other than Li Yansong. Hearing Fang Zhengyi's voice, Li Yansong was agitated and walked over angrily.

He pointed at his nose and scolded: "Don't be so playful with me! Fang Zhengyi, you are so brave!"

As he spoke, he pulled out a newspaper from his arms, shook it out vigorously, and pointed at the ranking list above with trembling hands.

"This thing! Did you create this thing? How audacious! How audacious!"

Li Yuanzhao jumped out: "No! This is my fault. Why! Do you have any objections?"

Li Yansong looked sad: "Oh! Your Highness, please stop covering up for him! I know everything!"

"Let me say a few words to him!"

"Yes, I wrote it exactly. What do you think, uncle?"

"Shut up! Who is your uncle? You shameless thing!" Li Yansong couldn't stand it any longer.

I was originally on duty happily, but when this piece of newspaper appeared, the entire public office went crazy.

Everyone discovered that how much food they had stored in their homes was actually published in the newspaper? When they took a closer look, they were furious.

Damn! It’s obvious at first glance that I made it up!

How can I have so much food at home? Two thousand dan is enough to feed several hundred members of my family for more than a year.

Especially Zhang Shi's family has saved tens of thousands of dan of grain, and his family doesn't sell grain, so why store so much grain? Let it grow moldy?

This time, the mature and prudent Li Yansong was the first one who couldn't hold back and rushed over to accuse him.

For no other reason, he ranked second.

The first one heard that he was breaking things everywhere in public housing.

Hearing Li Yansong scolding him, Fang Zheng said with a straight face: "Is there anything wrong with Mr. Li coming to see me this time?"

Seeing his serious expression, Li Yansong tried to calm down his mood: "Yes, let me ask you, who told you that I have 20,000 shi of food in my house?"

Fang Zheng tilted his head and thought for a while: "It's Zhang Shi, um, it's him!"

Li Yansong stared straight at Fang Zhengyi, trembling with anger: "You...you fucking treat me as a fool?"

Provocation failed!

Fang Zheng shook his head quickly and said with a sneer: "Where is it? This is all estimated by me from the dental shop. If there is any inaccuracy, please tell me and I will have someone correct it tomorrow."

"Tell me, Mr. Li, how much food does your family have? I will arrange for someone to revise the manuscript now, and I will publish it in the newspaper tomorrow to clarify!"

Li Yansong slapped his thigh! He wanted to cry but had no tears.

"You killed me! How can I behave in the future if my name is clear for the rest of my life!"

"Fang Zhengyi, you are in for a big disaster! I advise you to stop as soon as possible and there is still room for change. If you continue like this and make enemies of hundreds of officials, there will be no good results!"

"Even if you wanted to raise food, you wouldn't raise it like this! This is pushing yourself towards a dead end!"

The reporters around him all looked moved when they heard this.

He is really a dear uncle. He is obviously extremely heartbroken. Why don’t I have such a relative?

Fang Zheng curled his lips and acted like a scoundrel: "What the hell?! The officials dare to be my enemy? Who among the people in the capital doesn't know that I, Fang Zhengyi, am on the side of His Majesty and the Crown Prince? The officials want to rebel? I am now

Just read their book!"

Li Yansong suddenly felt that his outlook on life was shattered.

Are you a fucking monster? Can you communicate with normal human thoughts?

Li Yansong was trembling with anger: "It's hopeless...it's hopeless, Fang Zhengyi, are you crazy! Why? If you have something to say, you can't say it clearly! Let's discuss it slowly in the court!"

Fang Zheng kept looking at Li Yansong and said, "Discuss slowly? Mr. Li, you shouldn't say this to me. You have to tell those who are about to starve to death. If they are willing to wait, I will discuss it slowly."

"Besides, Mr. Li, you don't really think we can get any good results from this negotiation, do you?"

"I shouldn't even have raised the issue of donating food. Do you see how many people in the court are taking the initiative to donate food?"

Li Yansong felt that he was in the wrong. Logically speaking, he should have started this thing.

But no one wants to get involved in this problem. Usually the people below will agree after His Majesty speaks.

I didn't expect that such a disruptor would appear, or in such an unusual way.

Li Yansong murmured: "We don't have it now, but the time has not yet come."

Fang Zheng said earnestly: "What time are you waiting for! Uncle, you old guys, if I don't force you, you won't know how much potential you have!"

"you!"
