Prodigal Son of the Ming Dynasty

  Chapter 1389 Enfeoffing the country to Lu

   "Clan members choose the rest?"

  Emperor Hongzhi looked at Fang Jifan in surprise.

  He never expected that Fang Jifan would be so virtuous.

  This son-in-law... really shares my worries.

   Originally, the clan members were reluctant, and no one would go.

  In order to contain the clansmen and prevent troubles, the Ming Dynasty has never advocated that the vassal kings should do anything. To put it bluntly, they are raising pigs.

  Look at Zhu’s pigs, they are big and round.

  But now all of a sudden, the national policy has been suddenly changed, and they are going to be enfeoffed and let them start a foundation, and then without saying a word, throw them to the ends of the earth.

  Fang Jifan is the son-in-law of Emperor Hongzhi, dear.

  If Fang Jifan is willing to set an example at this time, it would be great.

  Furthermore, Fang Jifan is still so high-spirited and upright, no one else can find anything to say, and the matter of enfeoffment will go smoothly.

  In this era, the capital is a good place. Even if you can be an emperor in a poor and remote place, it is not very attractive.

  This is also something that Emperor Hongzhi needs to consider carefully.

Emperor Hongzhi looked at Fang Jifan suspiciously, and then showed a gratified smile: "You are indeed my son-in-law. I was thinking that even after the enfeoffment, you can't leave, let your father be the fan, but, I I plan to give your Fang family two fiefs, one is your father's and the other is yours."

  Fang Jifan said: "Your Majesty loves you so much."

Emperor Hongzhi thought for a while: "I am very worried about this policy of enfeoffment. This enfeoffment is not only for the royal family, but also for me. If the people of my man can spread branches and leaves all over the world, then , even if there is a loss in China, the blood of the great Han can still be preserved. The difficulties of the Mongolian and Yuan Dynasties are right in front of you, and you can vividly remember them. Hey... how can there be any eternal foundation in the world? But how can we really not have self-knowledge, the number of days is impermanent, we should do the things right now, and give our future children and grandchildren an extra way out, the sly rabbit is still in the three caves, don’t you think so?”

  Fang Jifan thought for a while: "Your Majesty, I believe that the foundation of eternal life may not be impossible. The fact that previous dynasties could not achieve it does not mean that His Majesty cannot do it. Your Majesty is the dragon and phoenix among the emperors..."

  Emperor Hongzhi smiled: "People have birth, old age, sickness and death. The emperor is like this, so is the dynasty. Well, stop talking about these nonsense things, and do it right now."

  He cheered up: "What is the prince doing recently?"

  Fang Jifan said: "Pharmacy."

  Emperor Hongzhi said: "Is there any result?"

  Fang Jifan: "..."

Emperor Hongzhi murmured: "It seems that there is no effect, but... let him go, my grandson, I let him go to the Ministry of Rites to observe politics, let him learn, experience and experience, there is no harm, He also participated in the distribution of the enfeoffment, but he didn't know how the seventy-nine kingdoms were divided by the Ministry of Rites. It is really not easy to make a bowl of water level. Let the emperor and grandson come."

  Fang Jifan understood what Emperor Hongzhi meant, and the interests involved in this matter were too great.

  The Fangguo divided by the Ministry of Rites will definitely be dissatisfied. What if they dare not treat the emperor? These emperor’s uncles, uncles, and cousins, how can they not treat you as the Minister of the Ministry of Rites?

   The most difficult thing to decide is the housework.

  So...the emperor's grandson must personally act.

  Emperor Hongzhi sighed with emotion, and waved Fang Jifan to leave.

   Immediately afterwards, the entire court began to be in chaos.

  For the matter of enfeoffment, there was almost a lot of trouble.

  The worst thing is Liu Jian, and people come to the door all the time.

   are those princes.

  The princes stayed there and refused to leave. Some said that they had old diseases and were not in good health, so they needed to be taken care of. Some people say that they are afraid of the dark at night, so they need to sleep with their concubines, but their bodies are too weak to withstand the wind and waves, so they have to prepare the largest treasure boat for them, the one that can withstand the wind and waves.

  Some people cry when they meet each other, and they can't ask for anything.

  Liu Jian was too scared to go home, and stayed in the cabinet all day long.

   All the officials in the court ignored the fighting power of these princes. They were looking for every possible relationship.

   Even Emperor Hongzhi was helpless to them.

  At the end of the month, the edict came out, seventy-nine Fang Guo, of which 27 Da Fang, 52 small Fang, a map of the world, marking the location.

  The so-called generosity and smallness are actually meaningless.

  Because this thing has no boundaries at all, so I designate a place for you to build a city. Of course, there are existing 'cities'. For example, in many places, immigrants have already built a settlement.

   As for the outside of the city, there are 'natives' all over the place, so how far you can go depends entirely on your own efforts.

  If you don’t work hard, maybe...the natives will burn your whole family down.

  The clansmen can't tell which is good or bad.

  I only remember that Fang Jifan wanted to go to Kunlun Continent. This Kunlun Continent is extremely sought-after. There are a total of thirteen countries in Kunlun Continent, and they were all robbed at once.

  The next big hit is the southern part of the Golden Continent.

  The development there was relatively early, and the fleet of Da Ming arrived for the first time. Relatively speaking, there was no danger.

  The worst is Australia and the northern part of the Golden Continent.

  Australia is said to be a desert, and the natives are very barbaric. Therefore, there are only four Fangguo.

  The most terrifying thing is the northern part of the Golden Continent.

Not only are there a large number of natives there, but... the Spaniards have established settlements there one by one. The Spaniards are not weak in fighting power. The lessons of Xinjin City are vivid in everyone's minds. The army horse arrived.

   Further north, it is a place with freezing weather. Under the current conditions, it is not worth developing at all.

   After all the clansmen rolled up their sleeves to share.

  The one left for Fang Jifan...is such a place.

  The name of the country is Lu.

  The location is probably near the Great Lakes.

  This prescription country is alone, and there are only two countries.

  After Spain suffered setbacks in the South Golden Continent, it has been operating the northern part of the Golden Continent. Close to it, there is a danger of being attacked by colonists at any time.

  Everyone saw Fang Jifan's Fangguo position, and all of a sudden...peace of mind.

  No matter what, no matter how miserable it is, can the Fang family be miserable?

  Lu and Qi are besieged on all sides. This place... has no minerals and is extremely dangerous. Thinking about it, it makes people feel very excited.

  Emperor Hongzhi had probably seen the map, but he was also worried about Fang Jifan.

   Fang Jifan was summoned to meet him, and he couldn't help saying to Jifan, "Jifan, this place is a place of great danger. If not, I will change it to another fief."

Fang Jifan shook his head: "If His Majesty changes the fiefdom, will the other clansmen be convinced? They will definitely make trouble again, and those who are consciously dissatisfied must implore His Majesty to change them too. Your Majesty wants Elimination of controversy, this is the only way."

  Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help sighing when he heard this: "If this is the case, I will be too wronged for you."

  Fang Jifan shook his head: "It's nothing if my son suffers a little grievance, as long as it doesn't embarrass His Majesty."

   This is my son-in-law, look at him, he never asks for benefits from himself, he always rushes forward in the most difficult and difficult places.

  Such a loyal and honest person can't be found even with a lantern.

  Emperor Hongzhi sighed for a while, his eyes were slightly red, he looked sideways, and glanced at Xiao Jing: "Xiao Jing, you should learn from Ji Fan, so that you can win my heart."

   Xiao Jing smiled faintly: "Oh."

  …

  As soon as the news came out, it made Beijing boil.

  I heard that the princes are all enfeoffed, there are no princes in the capital, there are countless collateral clans, and countless entourages, which has caused some market fluctuations. Especially the price of the mansion was a little loose.

  Of course, what everyone is most concerned about is where the Fang family will be sealed off.

   After learning that Lu and Qi were enfeoffed to the north of Huangjinzhou, all of a sudden, the printed map of the world suddenly became popular.

   Like Fang Jifan, who also takes the people of the world as his own responsibility, of course it is inevitable to be envied by mediocrity.

   Everyone bought a map of the world and found the location. When they saw it, they burst out laughing.

   Happy.

  Fang Jifan, you also have today.

   In the future, your Fang family will go there, and in all likelihood, you will be slaughtered by the natives and Spaniards.

  Many clan members were still unhappy at first. After all, the guards and servants had to go to the fiefdom first, and the city had to be built. Within five years, the feudal clan would also have to be established.

  But now when he saw Fang Jifan, his mind suddenly became calm.

  Fang Jifan returned to his family's mansion, and he was about to start preparing for the construction of the city. A large number of Fang's clan members had to move there.

  However... The Fang family has a single lineage for several generations, and the population is a bit thin, which is different from other vassal kings.

For example, the king of Zhou, starting from Emperor Taizu, the first generation of kings of Zhou can live vigorously. Now, after several generations, in addition to the king of Zhou who inherited the title, there are several county kings under him. There are hundreds of Fuguo generals and lieutenants. These people all have their own guards and servants, and they can pull up a team of tens of thousands of people casually.

  Fang Jifan rested his chin, thoughtful.

   It was Wang Jinyuan who was indignant: "Master, this is too bullying. The young master has made so many contributions, why should he be entrusted there. Young master...Young master..."

  Fang Jifan said: "You know what!"

  Wang Jinyuan immediately shut up.

"This is a good place. It's not the South Golden Continent, it's located in a hot place, and the land is rich. You can eat wild fruits by climbing on the trees, but my young master's fief, although it needs to be reclaimed to grow Produce food, but only in this way can the people under the rule know how to put in and produce, and the people of Lu and Qi will do well in the future, and will not be as lazy as the people of Nanjinzhou."

   "..."

Fang Jifan said again: "Surrounded by powerful enemies, this can cultivate their blood, strengthen their bodies, and let them have a sense of urgency instead of laziness... Now stop talking about this, the most important thing right now... our Fang family , do you have any clan relatives?"
