Chapter 731: Shiyi Wanhu
Chapter 731 Food Town Ten Thousand Households
Xu Jing remained silent.
The former scholar with a bit of arrogance has long since disappeared.
The sea breeze erased all his water chestnuts.
On this boat, being in trouble with others made him understand everyone, no matter how despicable as Zhang Heling, open-eyed as Zhang Heling, stinky as shameless as Zhang Heling, cruel and shameless as Zhang Heling, he can actually detect that this person...is still with himself In general, it is also a person of flesh and blood.
Any arrogance and disdain, or a sense of moral superiority, has no meaning in this vast ocean.
Xu Jing pursed his lips and smiled: "Shou Ninghou is still going to go to sea?"
When Zhang Heling heard this question, he was heartbroken: "I will, of course I will." He said in his heart, I haven't recovered my capital yet.
"At this time, Lady Zhang must be very anxious." What Xu Jing implied was that Lady Zhang would definitely not let Shou Ninghou take any more risks.
Thinking of Niangniang Zhang, she will inevitably worry about her brother.
Xu Jing couldn't help but think of his mentor. He felt that there seemed to be some kind of spiritual connection between himself and his mentor.
Mentioning his sister, Zhang Heling suddenly felt a little emotional: "Aside from being a bit stingy, sister, she is very kind to me." Zhang Heling sat down, lonely in the boat, caught someone, and couldn't help but want to talk about family matters : "Do you know how stingy my sister is? She is a queen, and she is reluctant to give something more to her brother. She usually takes advantage of the palace, but it is just a meal in the palace. Four dishes, one soup , Wrapped in lotus leaves, and took it away, I still have to tell you that if your majesty sees it, it’s not good. Is she my sister? It seems that everyone died as a family. After eating a few mouthfuls of food in the palace, I was grateful. Mrs. Zhang only knew how to take care of us and that, and she couldn't bear to reward a few more horses. There was also a bounty, such as fifty catties of gold, fifty catties of copper coins , what can I do now?"
Zhang Heling said with red eyes: "Our Zhang family brothers can only rely on ourselves. What a pity, if this is not the case, why would we have to go to sea by ourselves, and Xishan...then Xishan... belongs to our Zhang family. Fang Jifan, take it, this is a robber!"
Xu Jing had a stern face, showing an angry look.
Zhang Heling was happy: "It's just your mentor, why are you angry, eh, that's all, I can't blame others, I can only blame my sister for being stingy, and blame my brother for being too stupid. I have to worry about everything myself."
"Ha, Daming, it's almost here, and I, Zhang Heling, am coming back again. Next time, I have to learn my lesson, take more people out to sea, and **** the **** Frangji, and the Golden Continent, so many places, so what? Sow a handful of seeds in the field, and the crops will grow..."
Speaking of this, Zhang Heling salivated.
"Actually..." Zhang Heling was about to leave, and looked back at Xu Jing: "Actually, I really admire you."
"..." Xu Jing raised his eyes and looked at Zhang Heling.
"Can be fooled by that Fang, don't want money, don't want profit, just for a so-called... um... Is it the unity of knowledge and action or something?"
Xu Jing smiled, he didn't want to quarrel with Zhang Heling, because they had different ways, and they didn't conspire with each other.
Zhang Heling left.
Xu Jing took a deep breath, he thought of his mentor, who now...doesn't know what to do...
But soon, he took out the pen and ink, and began to write carefully.
He wants to write a book, which is about overseas pictures. In this book, there will be countless experiences and stories, and there will also be strategies for Ming Dynasty from the standpoint of Ming Dynasty.
To curb the expansion of Francois, build springboards and station personnel on the islands between the continents, so that larger fleets can go back and forth freely... At the same time, they will talk about countless overseas treasures , transported back to Daming to supplement the internal funds of the Ming Dynasty.
...
One month later, spring begins in Beijing, but there are still snow flakes.
Zhu Houzhao and Fang Jifan had already returned to Beijing with Shengjia. Regarding the weather in Nanchang, they felt more comfortable after returning to the capital.
The evil wind in Nanchang is too strong. Although the temperature is higher than that in the capital, the evil wind is always pervasive.
Fang Jifan had just arrived in Beijing, and returned to the Princess Mansion anxiously. His expression eased when he saw that Zhu Xiurong was still potbellied.
It’s good that you didn’t give birth, and you will come back in time.
Fang Jifan couldn't help but hugged Zhu Xiurong in his arms.
"What's wrong..." Seeing Fang Jifan, Zhu Xiurong was happy, but he was afraid that Fang Jifan would bump into the child.
Fang Jifan laughed loudly: "His Royal Highness and I made a bet. He bet that the child was born, but I said it was not yet. Tomorrow I will go to the East Palace to collect debts."
Zhu Xiurong smiled: "Don't be crazy with him. This time, I only found out after the fact that you and your brother went to Nanchang. The queen mother was worried to death, and I was also very scared."
"It surprised you, it's for my husband's death." Fang Jifan said hurriedly.
Zhu Xiurong chuckled: "I wasn't surprised. Then I figured it out. If you are so amazing, nothing will happen to you. Look, sure enough, the good news came."
Fang Jifan crossed his hands: "Your Highness, don't always praise me. Our own family, behind closed doors, it's okay to talk about it, but outsiders will be jealous if they hear it. You know, the world is dangerous."
Fang Jifan said again: "I've made up my mind. These days, I won't go anywhere, just stay here with me."
"Have you thought about your son's name?" Zhu Xiurong couldn't help but ask.
"Not only the names of the children, but also grandsons and grandchildren. I have already thought about it. Unfortunately, His Majesty does not allow me to choose it. Hey, Your Majesty is sometimes too arbitrary and has a bad temper."
While talking, an **** came, but His Majesty returned to the palace, and there was a decree.
Fang Jifan prostrated himself and saluted.
Then he heard the **** take the imperial decree, and said: "Fengtian Chengyun Emperor, the imperial edict said: I will be ordered by the emperor to rule the world and rule the world..."
Fang Jifan’s ears can hear these nonsense. To be honest, this imperial decree is often the highest level of bragging. What is it? In other words, it is probably, I...Emperor Hongzhi, every day is like an elephant, who dares to refuse?
The **** saw Fang Jifan's impatient face, so he sped up his speech: "Fang Jifan, the captain-in-law of the emperor's son-in-law, is the Marquis of Jinglu..."
"Wait a minute." Fang Jifan was stunned: "Where did Jinglu come from? There is no such place name."
However, almost all marquises are based on the place names of the state capitals, and they must not be sloppy. Fang Jifan is a relatively serious person, such as the Marquis of Fengcheng and the Marquis of Qingzhou. Controversy, who owns it.
The **** explained patiently: "Captain, this Jinglu Guard originated from the Jinglu Guard in Hexi."
"Oh." Fang Jifan nodded, it turned out to be like this: "The Jinglu Guard, isn't it abolished?"
"This is His Majesty's intention, Captain, can you let the servants finish reading the will?"
Fang Jifan is a reasonable person, nodding his head: "Okay, father-in-law, tell me."
The **** said: "Zhunqi is in Hexi, and there are tens of thousands of households in the city."
Fang Jifan frowned slightly.
Immediately understood the meaning of this time.
The land of Hexi was won back by Fang Jifan himself from the Tatars. Moreover, the Tatars may not be willing to abide by the agreement. The land of Hexi, except for Lanzhou where King Su is located, is almost still in the hands of the Tatars. Yap is a gimmick, but... it's also a reward.
The **** said again: "Zhang Yuanxi also shot and killed the traitor Zhu Chenhao. He made a great contribution and bestowed upon him new marquis. To describe his meritorious service, his nephew Liu Erhan gave him 200 catties of gold, and ordered hereditary command...the rest, such as Shen Ao, Yang Biao, Zhang Jin, etc., gave him a lot of gold."
Fang Jifan thanked him for accepting the decree, and said happily: "I have a father-in-law, do you want some tea?"
The **** waved his hand: "Don't dare."
"Oh, since that's the case, I'm about to enter the palace to thank you, so I might as well go with my father-in-law."
The **** nodded hurriedly.
Fang Jifan held the imperial decree and sighed in his heart, buddy...he is a marquis again.
Although at the beginning, the Zhen Guo Mansion gave a candidate, but it was not on the right track. The officials and nobles of the Zhen Guo Mansion were all **** up by Zhu Houzhao. Today is a bachelor, tomorrow is the governor, and the day after tomorrow is a general officer. Flooding, our Fang Jifan will follow you, Zhu Houzhao, and eat dirt sooner or later.
It’s better that the imperial court has an organization, and I suddenly feel that it is much more advanced.
Fang Jifan entered the palace excitedly, and when he arrived at the Nuan Pavilion, Emperor Hongzhi raised his eyes and glanced at Fang Jifan: "I knew you would come to thank you. It just so happened that Wang Ao made a performance just now. Let me show you this memorial."
Fang Jifan nodded and took the memorial.
Wang Ao is the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and was once the master of Emperor Hongzhi, with a detached status.
Fang Jifan looked down at the memorial, then fell silent.
"Jifan, what do you think?"
This memorandum is all saying that the imperial court wasted money and people in order to go to the West. Ask the court to restrain some...
In fact, the words in it are plausible, and what they say makes sense.
After all, the imperial court is still very poor, and all the money and food are used to build ships. How will the people live?
This is the voice of the vast majority of officials.
Of course...Fang Jifan just looked down and knew it in his heart.
Actually...Wang Ao did not attack the West.
After all, this voyage to the West is to find 'seeds'. Seeds should be shared. With this kind of seeds, Da Ming will benefit from it.
The reason why Wang Ao wrote the letter was for money and food.
Thinking inside and outside the government and the public, who doesn't know that our emperor has money.
This time, if you want to conscript yourself, don’t you just wave your hand and allocate money and food from your internal funds?
Emperor Hongzhi, this is showing off your wealth.
Everyone didn’t realize it before, but now they are awakened. His Majesty has so much money in his private treasury. His voyage to the West is a huge burden for the treasury and the common people. Well, Your Majesty, I... Wang Ao, your mentor, the common people The spokesperson of , now asks you... to pay money!
