Prodigal Son of the Ming Dynasty

  Chapter 1373 Tiger Father No Dog Son

  Fang Jifan is sober, he wants money everywhere.

   But what can I do.

  At the beginning, I taught them that if they are poor, they will be good for themselves, and if they are rich, they will benefit the world.

   I also taught them by myself, to be down-to-earth and care about poverty.

  I ask my disciples to be a person who is free from vulgar interests and to be a person who is beneficial to the common people in the world.

Now…

  Fang Jifan said: "Go and prepare, this account is hung on Siyang Commercial Bank. Siyang Commercial Bank operates overseas, and it is okay to take out a little money. Alright, let me go."

  Wang Jinyuan wanted to say something else, but when he heard a roll, it was as if Fang Jifan had thrown a frisbee, and with a whoosh, he ran away.

  Fang Jifan shook his head and couldn't help sighing.

   After an hour, someone came from the palace and called Fang Jifan into the palace for an audience.

  Fang Jifan didn't dare to be negligent, and hurried into the palace.

  Emperor Hongzhi also held a report in his hand, which was sent by Jin Yiwei from Tianjin Wei.

  He bowed his head, pondered, and remained silent.

  Fang Jifan saluted, but Emperor Hongzhi didn't realize it.

  Fang Jifan had no choice but to stand aside in embarrassment.

  Xiao Jing stood on the side of Emperor Hongzhi with lowered brows and lowered his head, not daring to show his air.

  Emperor Hongzhi just raised his head and glanced at Fang Jifan: "Liu Wenshan is really a kind man."

   "Your Majesty..." Fang Jifan wanted to explain something.

  Emperor Hongzhi waved his hand: "I asked him to circulate precious banknotes, he is good, and went to help the Western people."

  Fang Jifan said: "Your Majesty, I think..."

  Emperor Hongzhi waved his hand again, then interrupted Fang Jifan and said, "What do you want to explain?"

   "..."

  Fang Jifan shook his head after a long time, "I don't want to explain anything."

Emperor Hongzhi smiled wryly: "Actually... there is no need to explain. Isn't what he did exactly the truth taught by the saints all over the world? It's just that everyone knows this truth, but... people who are really willing to do it are not. many."

  Fang Jifan said embarrassingly: "Your Majesty means that there is a fool among us, and he actually did it according to the book."

  Emperor Hongzhi glared at Fang Jifan: "How will this matter affect Siyang Commercial Bank?"

   "My son is worried that the report at the end of the year will be a bit ugly." Fang Jifan said honestly.

  Emperor Hongzhi said: "It won't fall too much."

   "Probably not."

   "Can you confirm?"

   "This... I guess it's okay."

  Emperor Hongzhi sighed: "Let Liu Wenshan go, I haven't seen such a person for a long time. Maybe...he is right, I am wrong, and we are wrong."

Emperor Hongzhi put the report aside: "The implementation of the treasure banknotes has not yet been implemented. This is what worries me. I have read Liu Wenshan's "On the Value of Goods". This book believes that if the Ming Dynasty wants to rule the world, when Following the example of the first emperor, the first emperor's books have the same text, and the cars have the same track. After that, there is a foundation for the unification of the world. But in today's world, it is unwise to force the same text and track, just like that Jiaozhi. Little China, the Ming Dynasty spent countless efforts to subdue it. When Emperor Wen was there, he spent countless money and food, but in the end he returned with regrets. When it was in my hands, he reluctantly dispatched elite soldiers and generals to destroy Annan and set up counties. In the past few years, there are still news of repeated rebellions in Jiaozhi, let alone the fact that Jiaozhi is so big and Xiyang is so big."

   "His idea is to promote the treasure banknotes first, and then integrate the treasure banknotes into one, so that commerce and goods can be communicated. This is the same as the text and the same track, and it is only a matter of time."

   "After reading this book, I deeply believe that war... is not a long-term solution after all."

Fang Jifan said: "Although Liu Wenshan likes to show kindness indiscriminately, he can see the problem, but he is accurate. My ministers don't like to fight and kill. It is said that if you are warlike, you will die, and if you forget the war, you will be in danger. There has never been a warlike one. , My emperor is a sage, although he is strong and does not bully the weak, he is good at fighting, but he has no great achievements, and the mighty grace of heaven, like rain, falls from all over the world. If you know your majesty's compassionate heart, you will surely remember your majesty's kindness for generations to come."

  Emperor Hongzhi waved: "I'm tired."

  Fang Jifan saluted and took his leave.

  Recently, Zhu Houzhao's thoughts are all in the research institute. The affairs of Shuntian Mansion are gradually getting on track. With so many officials busy, it seems that there is no shortage of Fang Jifan.

  Fang Jifan now asks people to go to Shuntian Mansion to order a Mao every day, so he has fulfilled the responsibility of Shaoyi in Shuntian Mansion.

   Coming out of the palace, with nothing to do, he simply went to the Military Academy. When he got to the door, he was afraid that it would be too provocative, so he sat in the car and asked someone to call Fang Zhengqing out.

Fang Zhengqing was already much taller, and he came out of the same mold as Fang Jifan, but his skin was much darker, and his body was a bit more masculine. He was wearing a military uniform, majestic and majestic, with a knife on his waist, Walking out, the armor on his body rattled.

  He was very happy when he heard that his father came to visit him.

  Xishan Military Academy now recruits mostly the sons of nobles, and there are also many descendants of heroes. A few days ago, Emperor Hongzhi ordered the children of the clan to enroll.

  Fang Zhengqing, who can be regarded as a relative of the emperor, was naturally recruited.

  Entering the academy is like entering a prison. Throughout the year, you can't rest for a few days. You are in the academy all day long, practicing every day and learning new military theories.

  The leader of this academy is Zhu Houzhao, and Fang Zhengqing has become much stronger. In addition, he had experience in the army in the nursery before, so he didn't feel hardship.

   Seeing Fang Jifan, Fang Zhengqing gave a military salute, clasped his fists with both hands, but his body was tense: "Father."

Fang Jifan looked him up and down: "Your mother is always talking in front of your father, saying that you entered the military academy and don't come home all day. She misses you very much and wants to send some things to the academy so that you can make up for it." To nourish the body, outside food is also forbidden in the academy, how about it, what about in the academy."

  Fang Zhengqing said: "In the quiz two days ago, my son came out on top and won the award."

   "Really?" Regarding the award, Fang Jifan seemed a little skeptical. Except for the honorary dean, no one in this academy is his disciple or grandchildren. God knows if this is for his own sake.

  Fang Jifan's tone softened: "You must have suffered a lot after entering here."

   "It's okay." Fang Zhengqing said: "It's just a friend I haven't seen for a long time, in my heart..."

  Fang Jifan said seriously: "The emperor's grandson is the future emperor, can he mess around like you all day long?"

  Fang Zhengqing nodded obediently: "Yes, my son is wrong."

  Fang Jifan looked at Fang Zhengqing with a smile, and regained his fatherly look: "Besides visiting you, my father also wants to tell you a piece of good news. Don't talk nonsense about this news."

"what?"

  Fang Zhengqing looked at Fang Jifan.

Fang Jifan wrote lightly: "A few days ago, I always felt that your mother was a little strange, like... pregnant, but this is only a possibility, and now I can't say for sure. The news has not been confirmed, and it is not good to be a father. No one told , just let your mother take good care of it, how about it, are you surprised?"

   "Ah..." Fang Zhengqing was caught off guard.

  Fang Jifan's eyes lit up.

  However... this news is not yet confirmed, but deep down in Fang Jifan's heart, why doesn't he want to spread his branches and leaves.

  I am still young and still have hope.

   "I can't tell, you have one more brother."

   "Ah..." Fang Zhengqing looked at his father in bewilderment.

  Fang Jifan said with a straight face: "Why, you are not happy."

   "No, no." Fang Zhengqing shook his head: "It's just...the news came too suddenly."

  Fang Jifan sighed: "As a father, why don't you feel it suddenly? Of course, no one can say anything about this."

   "Oh." Fang Zhengqing nodded.

Fang Jifan patted him on the shoulder: "Study hard in the academy. In the future, if you learn a lot of skills, you will be able to make a fortune for everyone. Our Fang family is a family of good deeds. For generations, we have been innocent and loyal to the country. Jing Anmin, your great-grandfather is like this, your elder father is like this, and your father is also like this. What your father can pass on to you in the future may not be some messy title, nor may it be some kind of wealth that is incomparable to an enemy. It is the reputation of the ancestors and the way of life taught to you by your father, Zhengqing, Zhengqing, a noble personality is the foundation, you should keep your father's words in mind, do you understand?"

  Fang Zhengqing scratched his head: "Ah..."

  Fang Jifan became furious: "What are you doing?"

  Fang Zhengqing said: "Father, you don't intend to pass on the title and family wealth to me?"

  Fang Jifan's face turned blue and red: "Vulgar!"

  Fang Zhengqing said quietly: "I have Zaimo, and the emperor wants to inherit it. Do I have nothing? If I don't give it, I won't give it. But the reason is not like this. I am your son, my dear."

  Fang Jifan sighed and said: "You are going to **** your father off, you idiot, you can't understand the foreign language of the father's words, get out."

Fang Zhengqing said: "If you don't give it, you can say it clearly. At worst, I will make meritorious deeds by myself. But since I was a child, you say this truth today and another truth tomorrow. You beat and scold me. I am your son, which is what I should do. But After beating and scolding, giving everything to others, is this what a father should do?"

  Fang Jifan was about to vomit blood.

  Fang Zhengqing shook his head: "If I don't give it, I won't give it. When I finish my studies at the academy, I will go to Huangjinzhou, go to my father, follow my father, and go to fight for our Daming."

Fang Jifan clutched his heart: "You have been taught to study hard since you were a child. This Chinese is profound and unfathomable. You bastard, you have read the book in the stomach of a dog, and you can't understand it. Forget it, I don't think you are such a rebellious son." .”

  Fang Zhengqing wanted to shake his head, but he didn't dare, and said obediently: "Okay, the son is wrong, and the son will apologize to the father."

   He knelt down and slapped himself.

Fang Jifan felt a little better: "You want to earn fame, this idea is right, you can't just lie on the credit book of your ancestors, our Fang family must be stronger from generation to generation, well, I am too lazy to communicate with you, chicken and duck Tell me, let's go to the academy."

   "Oh." Fang Zhengqing looked up, glanced at Fang Jifan, hesitated to speak: "Father, you should take care of your health, go to bed early and get up early."
