Prodigal Son of the Ming Dynasty

  Chapter 1423 His Royal Highness the Prince has made great achievements

  Seeing Fang Jifan kept urging him to ask questions. Everyone looked at Fang Jifan, a little speechless.

   Liu Jian's expression turned extremely ugly, and he glanced at Fang Jifan, who was serious.

  He took a deep breath and gradually regained his sanity.

  In any case, my son... finally survived.

  Even though he was in pain, he was still alive.

   Just live.

   Nothing is more important than being alive.

  He couldn't understand his son.

  Perhaps the son is getting older, his inner world is something that a person who has crossed an era can guess.

   After all, Liu Jian was well-informed, and he gradually became rational.

  So, he thought of something, and he calmed down. He looked at Zhu Houzhao and Fang Jifan.

  Although no matter how reluctant he was, it was undeniable that if it weren't for these two guys, his son would have died without a place to bury him.

   Without the two of them, he would never see his son again.

  Although this account is calculated, if Fang Jifan hadn't fooled his son, he wouldn't be where he is today.

   But how to settle this account? My son is not a three-year-old child. He is willing to listen to Fang Jifan, and he is not mentally disabled or mentally retarded. What else can he say?

  This can only show that Fang Jifan has the ability to make his son obey him.

  Liu Jian sighed deeply in his heart, and then bowed sincerely to Zhu Houzhao and Fang Jifan: "Thank you Your Highness, thank you Duke Qi, if not for Your Highness and Duke Qi, my son would have died."

  Zhu Houzhao saw Liu Jian saluting, most of the indignation just now disappeared, so he smiled openly and grinned at the person in front of him.

On the other side, Fang Jifan said magnanimously: "Healing the sick and saving the sick is the right thing to do. This is nothing. Don't say that he is my disciple. Even if Liu Jie is just an outsider, with my kindness, I will definitely try my best to save him. The so-called Saving someone's life is better than building a seven-level pagoda, so I'm accumulating virtue for myself."

  Liu Jian sniffled, and didn't know what to say next, but no matter what, his son's life was saved.

   Liu Jie is alive, which is a good thing for everyone.

  Emperor Hongzhi and others breathed a sigh of relief. Standing here, it was inconvenient for Liu Jie to rest. This place is very close to the Zhen Guo Mansion. Emperor Hong Zhi moved to the Zhen Guo Mansion, and all the officials followed.

  Emperor Hongzhi seemed to have thought a lot during his journey. He sat down and looked around, but saw a strange face. He turned to a hunched "old man" and asked, "Who is this old man?"

  Old man: "..."

  Fang Jifan looked at the old man, feeling a lot of emotions in his heart, then he sighed and said to Emperor Hongzhi.

   "Your Majesty, this is Xu Jing, my disciple. This time, Xu Jing and my son sent Liu Jie here."

  The sea is the worst place to destroy people. What's more, as a patrol ambassador, you still need to worry about the size of the fleet and the size of each port.

After all, they are pioneers, leading the fleet to unknown areas, all systems have not been established, how to replenish the port, how to organize the fleet, who can use it and which one can't use it, all over the sea. What is the hydrology of the country, which route has water thieves, all these things need Xu Jing to ask, and then select people to establish a primitive system.

This is not only a test of a person's leadership ability, but also a test of a person's endurance and perseverance. In the face of various unknowns, it is also necessary to ensure the safety of everyone's lives. Facing this kind of pressure, the whole person's spirit is tense. Stress is not something ordinary people can bear.

  Xu Jing can be said to have suffered tremendous psychological pressure and mental anxiety these years, so he naturally became old.

  Emperor Hongzhi was shocked. At this moment, he stared deeply at Xu Jing with wide eyes.

  He has an impression of Xu Jing.

  Xu Jing used to be high-spirited and good-looking.

  But... It's been a few years since I saw Xu Jing, and Xu Jing has long been unrecognizable, and the original shadow is gone.

  He couldn't recognize him at all, Emperor Hongzhi was shocked, he pursed his lips slightly, and looked at Xu Jing more seriously.

  From this point of view, Xu Jing may not have suffered less than Liu Jie.

  Xu Jing stood up and made a big salute to Emperor Hongzhi. He was deeply moved and bowed down: "I have seen Your Majesty."

At this moment, Emperor Hongzhi felt that his eyes were a little moist again. He couldn't help raising his head, tried his best to keep his tears from falling, tried to calm down the emotion in his heart, and said to Xu Jing word by word: "Mr. Under the door, all righteous men."

  He has praised him countless times today, but he feels that no amount of praise is enough.

  Emperor Hongzhi thought for a while, and wanted to use some tall words to praise them, but he thought about it countless times in his mind. Apart from this sentence, he couldn't find a better word to describe it.

  Emperor Hongzhi then looked at Xu Jing carefully, and asked seriously: "Xu Qing's family, how is the situation in Huangjinzhou?"

   "Very bad." Xu Jing said firmly.

  Fang Jifan stood aside, originally smiling, but after hearing Xu Jing's words, his face became elongated.

  Emperor Hongzhi was surprised, raised his brows lightly, and asked in confusion, "Well, what's wrong?"

  Xu Jing respectfully said to everyone word by word.

"A large number of soldiers and civilians migrated to the Golden Island. Although the land in the Golden Island is fertile, undeveloped land is everywhere. There are forests everywhere, there are countless snakes and insects, and there are hurricanes there. Once the hurricane hits, everything will be destroyed. For nothing. Soldiers and civilians live along the port, surrounded by natives, and natives will attack lonely soldiers and civilians from time to time; not only that, once they encounter diseases, although they bring many doctors from medical schools, but after all... the conditions are also Limited. Medicines are limited, food is limited, and even... a large amount of coal and iron have been discovered, but they must be smelted into steel and piled up in blast furnaces, because there is a shortage of skilled craftsmen, and the level is still very low."

  Xu Jing paused, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and then continued.

"Not to mention, the Spaniards went earlier than I did in Ming Dynasty, and they have already established a firm foothold in many places there. They even united with some natives and fanned the flames everywhere. Their troops were deployed along the northern coast. , who know more about the intricate air routes than we do, several times, they attacked us while our foothold was not stable."

"Last year, the epidemic in Huangjinzhou was prevalent. Fortunately, the epidemic subsided quickly, but even so, the losses were heavy. There is also the problem of insufficient horses... These problems are countless. The things that the king of Xinjin has to ask every day, There are so many things, one thing is solved today, and tomorrow, three troubles will come to the door. Many soldiers and civilians miss their hometown very much. When someone died, his family hoped that the fleet would bring the body back to his hometown. With a heart full of resentment."

  Emperor Hongzhi was silent when he heard this.

   All the ministers who followed him frowned.

   Developing the Golden Continent is a national policy. Over the years, how much manpower and material resources have been spent by the imperial court.

  But now it seems...

   "But..." Xu Jing raised his head, his eyes shone brightly, and said every word solemnly.

"Even though there are many problems and countless bad news, on the fertile land of Huangjinzhou, there is the king of Xinjin County who has dedicated himself to leading people to reclaim wasteland and drive out thieves. There are countless heroes like Liu Jie who pass on knowledge In order to build a medical center, I searched for herbs. Many plants there are different from my Ming Dynasty. In order to prove the efficacy of the medicine, I had to taste them one by one. Kill to the top, regardless of their own lives, and rush to the forefront. There are also heroes who, in order to build a blast furnace for steelmaking, led soldiers and civilians for days without sleep. In order to reclaim wasteland, they went deep into the dense forest, felled huge trees, and built farmhouses. Some people went to Spain In order to breed horses, some people eat and sleep with the stud horses all day long, and observe how the horses behave after they arrive at the Golden Island. Some people suffer and hit them. When the hurricane comes, everything is blown away It was cleaned up, but soon, some people led the soldiers and civilians to rebuild their homes. When the Spaniards arrived, the soldiers and the people were united. The king of Xinjin County came to the front in person, and heroes rose one after another. The soldiers and the people were united. Raise your guns, everyone will fight to the death, even if the enemy is strong and we are weak, you will not retreat until you beat the Spaniards hard."

  Xu Jing talked a lot, but he didn't take a breath, and spoke in a high-pitched way.

"The soldiers and civilians built more than 60 towns and more than 100 markets in Huangjinzhou, reclaimed countless fertile fields, built medical clinics, schools, and built iron furnaces. Men have the same heart and women have the same virtue. Scholars get on horses, farmers study, craftsmen cultivate wasteland in their spare time, women build bridges, children pave roads, Your Majesty... Huang Jinzhou loses its deer, who will win the deer, I dare not say, but I dare to say, since the king of Xinjin County, the thieves are not Killing me, the last member of the army and civilians of the Ming Dynasty, has no reason to settle down on the Golden Continent."

  Emperor Hongzhi was silent again when he heard this.

   All the ministers bowed their heads and remained silent.

   Even Fang Jifan seemed to be deeply moved.

National policy is easy to say, in the Forbidden City, the emperor issued an order, so countless people migrated across the ocean, but... the edict was easy to come down, but it affected hundreds of thousands of people, and the predicament they encountered was not easy .

  They are in Golden Island, there is no retreat.

  No matter what difficulties or dangers they encounter, they must grit their teeth and persevere, and never back down.

   "This is what I saw in Huangjinzhou, please Your Majesty... clear lesson!"

  Xu Jing raised his head, even though his back was hunched, he looked old, and his skin was wrinkled like old elm bark, but none of these could conceal the sparkle in his eyes and the hope in his face.

  ...

  The third chapter has been delivered, this chapter is not easy to write, so what, can I ask for a monthly pass? Support it, folks from the village.

   Just give the tiger some face.
