Fang Zhengzhi found it difficult to tell Zhang Yangping the origins of these silver. After all, a significant amount had come from the sale of Ping Yang’s Snow Jade stallion.
As such, he simply reiterated that these silvers were all earned legitimately.
Even though Zhang Yangping was not fully convinced, he ended up buying the story. After all, if Fang Zhengzhi could become a rank four official, what couldn’t he do?
Then, Zhang Yangping had Zhang Li father all the villagers at the square. He wanted to formally welcome Fang Zhengzhi back and announce Fang Zhengzhi’s plans to build the academy and highway.
After a whole afternoon, red silk hung from the top of the shrine. The shrine was cleaned and new cushions were placed in front of it.
Fang Zhengzhi did not want to have the red silk. After all, the events of yesterday were still fresh in his mind.
