Chapter 426: Master

Chapter 426: Master

  Chapter 426 Grandmaster

   "Master..."

   Early in the morning.

  Fang Jifan was woken up.

  Liu Jie is here.

  As soon as he saw Fang Jifan, Liu Jie bowed his head.

   "The disciple and grandson have met the master..."

  Fang Jifan was speechless.

  Come here early in the morning to trick people, so that they won't sleep.

   But he still dispelled his drowsiness.

  In this hall, with her feet up, she waited for Xiao Xiangxiang to serve herself a cup of fragrant tea, and took a sip.

  Although he didn't go to see Xiao Xiangxiang, he could almost feel the admiration projected from Xiao Xiangxiang's eyes.

  Young Master Ben is so powerful. At such a young age, he is the father and grandfather of countless people.

  Fang Jifan took a sip of tea and said slowly, "Oh, I'm back."

"came back."

  Seeing Shigong again, I was filled with emotions. In North Korea, he faced life and death countless times, and each time, relying on the wisdom of the master and relying on the kit, the miraculous salted fish turned over.

  Shigong... What an amazing person. ,

   "Yes... I'm back, my benefactor. Since I returned to the capital, my apprentice and grandson have not even returned home, so I came to see the master."

   Really filial piety.

  Fang Jifan finally knew why he came early in the morning.

Looking at Liu Jie, although he really wanted to reprimand him for not bringing some Korean ginseng back, Fang Jifan held back the words immediately, he must be kind and not talk about money all the time, this is very vulgar. Fang Jifan disdained to do such a thing, shame on him.

He nodded and nodded: "Your father has been looking forward to your return home, but you came to see Master first, hey, I am an upright person, so I have to scold you a few words here, don't do such things in the future , although Shigong is a generation taller than your father, but dad is dad."

   "What Master taught is true." Liu Jie raised his head and looked at Fang Jifan gratefully. Master, this person is undeniably reliable, whether it is character or wisdom, this point, Liu Jie is really convinced.

   "My disciple has something... I want to report it."

   "Say it."

Liu Jie said to Ai Ai: "The apprentice and the king of Joseon explained something about the new learning. This Li Yi is very eager to learn. He listened to the master's and benefactor's way, and he yearned for it. Ahem...So, I paid homage to the disciple and grandson. As a teacher..."

   "What?" Fang Jifan jumped up suddenly, then began to wrestle his fingers, and muttered in a low voice: "Student, disciple, what should be next? What is it, great disciple?"

   My brain is a bit short.

   These apprentices and grandchildren really let themselves go.

  This seniority is a bit messy.

  Liu Jie said dumbfoundedly: "Master, this... this one who is not ranked, you can just call him by his first name, but Li Yi, you should call Shigong Shizu."

  When Fang Jifan heard the word ancestor, Fang Jifan was a little bit harsh. Isn't this ancestor a curse word?

  Fang Jifan looked up at the beams of the house, feeling overwhelmed for a long time.

   "He came here this time not only because he wanted to have an audience with His Majesty, but also because he hoped that he could visit Shigong. However, he is currently waiting for His Majesty's audience at Honglu Temple, so it is inconvenient to come to see Shigong."

  Fang Jifan nodded.

   This is etiquette. When a vassal king or envoy comes to Beijing, he is not allowed to visit anyone until he is summoned by the emperor.

  Fang Jifan sighed: "What is this person's character?"

   Liu Jie's heart trembled.

  Shigong is Shigong.

   When accepting disciples and grandchildren, don't ask the other party's background first, but first look at the character.

   "This person is still young and has a mild temper."

   "Oh." Fang Jifan nodded lightly: "Understood, since you have accepted a student, what can the master say?"

  Fang Jifan curled his lips, it's getting late, it's time to have breakfast, why, he's still staying here, he can't afford to eat: "Go back and see your father."

   "There is one more thing." Liu Jie hesitated and said: "If this matter gets out, I'm afraid... I'm afraid it will be unsightly. Therefore, the students are thinking...the students are thinking..."

  Fang Jifan said lightly: "Got it."

  The king of the vassal state, how can you, Liu Jie, dare to be his teacher. Liu Jie is thin-skinned and afraid of being laughed at.

  Fang Jifan shook his head in his heart, this Liu Jie doesn't look like he has any great future in the future, he is not thick-skinned enough.

  Where does he look like His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, that cheeky, arrogant. That shameless thing has eaten a lot of his own cake recently.

  …

  Fang Jifan let out a sigh of relief after sending Liu Jie away.

  The weather is getting hotter, Fang Jifan is also bored, the king of North Korea has long forgotten Java.

  Fang Jifan feels that he has been a little forgetful recently, except that he keeps a clearer record of his own money, but he is always forgetting things.

In order to prevent his most important disciples from being completely forgotten, especially Tang Yin, since he went to Zhejiang, there has been no news for a while, so he must not be forgotten, so he specially asked people to hang five portraits on the In the bedroom, in this way, one, two, three, four, five, simple and clear, occasionally looking at the five disciples, I feel quite happy.

   On this day, at noon, someone came to the palace, inviting Fang Jifan to enter the palace for an audience.

  Fang Jifan hurried to the warm pavilion.

   Then I saw Emperor Hongzhi sitting upright, Liu Jian, Xie Qian and others were there, even Ma Wensheng was there.

   Li Dongyang looked depressed, and when he saw Fang Jifan coming, he first smiled at Fang Jifan.

  This smile...is like a spring breeze.

  Fang Jifan has never seen Li Dongyang treat him so well.

   It's really strange.

  Fang Jifan's heart trembled, nothing will happen.

  Emperor Hongzhi looked at Fang Jifan with a smile, and Li Dongyang coughed: "Uncle Xinjian, I have something to ask you."

   "Ask, Li Gong can ask casually." Fang Jifan also laughed.

  Li Dongyang still maintained a smile: "The Ministry of Households allocated money and food to the Zhen Guofu, right?"

   "Yes." Fang Jifan nodded.

  Li Dongyang said again: "The number is right."

   "That's right." Fang Jifan shook his head like a rattle.

   On this point, the court is still very honest. Fang Jifan almost calculated the money and food to the last few digits of the decimal point, not a single grain of rice was missing.

  Li Dongyang smiled: "But I heard that Tang Yin only recruited 300 people in Zhejiang."

   "Oh, it's normal. Soldiers are more expensive than elites."

  Li Dongyang still stroked his beard and smiled.

  All eyes are on Fang Jifan.

  Li Dongyang immediately said: "The money and food that can be allocated can meet the needs of 3,000 people."

  Fang Jifan blushed: "Can you get straight to the point, I don't understand."

  Li Dongyang took a deep breath, still smiling: "There was an extra 2,700 people's money and food, where did it go?"

  Fang Jifan couldn't help but said: "Smart soldiers, of course we need to pay more money and food, not to mention...this is a navy division, and besides, Mr. Li, the account is not calculated like this..."

   Li Dongyang finally pulled his face down.

  In fact, he really hopes for a peaceful solution.

  But... now the imperial court wants money and food everywhere.

   Voyage to the West is a bottomless pit.

  The Ministry of War has mobilized elite soldiers and strong generals to prepare for the fight against the Japanese. This is also a bottomless pit.

  There are also frequent disasters last year.

To be honest, the household department has almost been evacuated, and now it is completely supported by the deficit. He is also the secretary of the household department, and his hair is so gray in a hurry. You Fang Jifan is shameless. Taking money and doing nothing like this, recruiting 300 people, spent 3,000 people's money and food.

Now the Ministry of Households has to save food and clothing. From the Beijing camp to the pro-army, even the frontier army and the Japanese guards, they plan to owe money and food first, and cannot pay it in full for the time being. This is an old rule, and all the troops and horses can only hold on The nose recognized it.

  But this time, I couldn’t take it anymore. The governor of Liaodong made the first attack. He made a memorial. Next, it is true that the imperial court has difficulties with the imperial court, but I heard that there is a township government to suppress the Japanese guards, recruiting 300 people, and distributing 3,000 yuan in real money and food, which is extravagant and wasteful to the extreme...

  The meaning is very clear. It’s okay to cut down on food and clothing, but you have to be convinced. One person eats ten people’s money and food, but we can’t get rid of it. Is this plausible?

   Next, Ma Wensheng was not convinced anymore. All the elite soldiers and generals preparing for the Japanese guards were transferred, and they had to pay money and food on credit. Look at Fang Jifan...

  Li Dongyang thought it made sense, so he played the emperor, and Emperor Hongzhi also felt that the prince and Fang Jifan were not kind enough.

  So, Fang Jifan was invited.

   Accept criticism.

Li Dongyang did not speak like Xie Qian. He was very tactful, but he still said with a smile: "The country has its own laws and regulations. If the town government is special, the Ministry of Households will not be able to convince the public. If there is no shortage of money and food in previous years, it is no problem. But this year...hey...besides, don't you know that Ningbo Mansion has been plagued by locusts? The imperial court can't even allocate money and food for relief, Uncle Xinjian..."

   "I know about the locust plague in Ningbo." Fang Jifan nodded simply.

  Li Dongyang put on a serious face: "So what the old man means..."

   "Relief?"

  Li Dongyang nodded and nodded: "That's right, the food from Zhen Guofu..."

   Before he finished speaking, Fang Jifan said: "Ningbo Mansion will not be short of food."

   "What do you mean?" Li Dongyang frowned.

  Fang Jifan said: "There is no need for relief, the Zhenguo Mansion has already asked Beiwowei to find a way to provide relief."

  Li Dongyang was taken aback.

  You Fang Jifan gave relief in private.

  He immediately smiled: "If this is the case, the Zhen Guo Mansion will set an example. Uncle Xinjian relieves the country's worries, I really admire it."

   "It should be." Fang Jifan also laughed.

   Li Dongyang breathed a sigh of relief, as if he had something on his mind.

  The 300 men and horses of Zhenguo Mansion are stationed in Ningbo Mansion. If the money and food allocated can be used to help the people, then the disaster situation can be alleviated.

  He glanced at Emperor Hongzhi.

  Emperor Hongzhi smiled and said: "Since this is the case, there is no need to cut the money and grain of the Zhenguo Mansion."

  Li Dongyang looked at Fang Jifan deeply: "Then, the 100,000 Ningbo soldiers and civilians are all on the hands of Uncle Xinjian."

   "Don't worry." Fang Jifan swore.

Li Dongyang was still a little uneasy, but Fang Jifan did not continue to entangle because he was acting as a guarantor in front of His Majesty, but he still couldn't help asking: "Even with these two thousand and seven hundred rations, I'm afraid It's hard to help..."

  Fang Jifan pursed his lips: "One of them died of starvation, find Tang Yin, if you want to kill him or cut him to pieces, you will do as you please!"

  ...

  Chapter 5 is delivered, ask for a guaranteed monthly pass.
