Prodigal Son of the Ming Dynasty

  Chapter 1424 Reward

  Fang Jifan heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this.

   Thought Xu Jing was here to demolish him.

Although it is His Majesty's will to immigrate to Huangjinzhou, no one in the world knows that Fang Jifan has contributed a lot behind the scenes. If Huangjinzhou messes up and wastes so much manpower, material and national power, I don't know how many people will have to bury Fang Jifan alive. .

   Sum it up.

  What Xu Jing said is nothing more than one sentence: Everyone is very difficult now, but the future is bright.

  The soldiers and civilians of Ming Dynasty are good at reclaiming wasteland. As long as they are given a piece of land, they will try their best to grow crops.

   When crops grow in the field, some people still want to rob them of their land.

You must know that Daming has a lot of people and little land. In this overcrowded environment, even between villages, between families, for an irrigation canal, they can persist in fighting for hundreds of years. Children and grandchildren, killing in the dark.

   This is not to say that they are good at internal fighting, but that the land is limited, and if the clan does not hold together tightly and fight for more resources, it is really possible to face the risk of starvation to death, or the risk of extinction of households and genocide.

  If you don’t work hard, what should you eat?

  These people sent them to the Golden Continent and reclaimed the land. This land is their own private property. If someone wants to **** it, it's no wonder they don't work hard.

  Emperor Hongzhi looked solemn, showing respect: "The imperial court should do everything possible to send more money and food, so that they don't need medical care and medicine. Jifan, you must prepare a batch of penicillin."

  Fang Jifan said: "My son obeys the order."

Emperor Hongzhi said with emotion: "When I read history, the Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty made a big wind song, saying: When the strong wind rises, the clouds fly. We will add to the sea and return to our hometown. And the warriors will guard the four directions!" He paused: "I am better than Han. Emperor Gaozu is lucky, I have many loyal and brave men, guarding the place for me, this is the blessing of the ancestors..."

He paused, closed his eyes, and then opened them suddenly: "Masters, Xu Jing has worked hard and made great achievements. I have already ordered him to be a Marquis. His achievements today are by no means comparable to those of ordinary princes. People who are overseas need to be treated like a prince." Persevering, you will need a narrow escape... I want to be appointed as a Duke, what do you think?"

   All ministers, you look at me, and I look at you.

  In fact, the Ming Dynasty conferred titles twice, once for the founding of the country, and once for Jingnan, and now, another great conferment of titles has begun.

  Using the words of Emperor Hongzhi, from the founding of the country to Jingnan, to today’s voyages to the West, are the turning points that have determined the Ming Dynasty.

  The function of the reward is to encourage more people to die for it.

  Now it is said that Xu Jing's achievements are enough to be named Duke.

  Liu Jian paused: "The veteran has no objection."

  The rest nodded.

  Emperor Hongzhi said: "And...Liu Jie..."

  Liu Jie...

  People were stunned and looked at Emperor Hongzhi.

Emperor Hongzhi said: "Liu Jie was originally a member of the Hanlin Academy. He devoted his pen to the army and traveled across the oceans. He was born and died for my Ming Dynasty. This is also a great achievement. I saw that he was covered with scars. I am really moved. There is such a strong man in the world. I want to order him to be a prince." , to show his courage."

   This time, he didn't ask Liu Jian for his opinion.

  Liu Jian was silent.

  My son, who won the first prize in the exam, turned his head, ran to Huangjinzhou, joined the army, and now...is a marquis.

   What a life experience this is.

  The biggest advantage of the title of title is that it can be hereditary and rest with the country. As long as one does not commit the crime of treason, the prosperity and wealth of future generations can be guaranteed.

  His Liu family has left the Marquis.

Liu Jian was distressed for his son, and suddenly felt...maybe...compared with his son, maybe...far worse, his fate, maybe even after thousands of years, people forget that he is the chief minister of the cabinet, but remember that there is A marquis who calms the waves.

  Liu Jian was both happy and worried, with mixed feelings in his heart, and bowed down: "Old minister... Thank you for your grace."

   "It's not the Qing family who thanked me, but I should reward you..." Emperor Hongzhi said with emotion: "How many rewards I have given, are not as good as Liu Jie's life and death."

As he spoke, he sighed: "In the past, I always asked, who can share my worries, the majestic world, thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, internal and external troubles, all depend on me alone, how hard it is. But now I know, There are many warriors in the world. They are in the corners of the world, on the edge of the sky, making great achievements. Without them, I would have infinite energy, and I would not be able to solve these messes. Xu Jing, Liu Jieren, etc. are all pillars. If I don’t reward them , how to motivate the backward. But..."

  Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help looking at Fang Jifan, as if he had just remembered: "I just remembered that they are all Fang Jifan's disciples. Jifan, your disciples, are all very good at teaching."

Fang Jifan said: "I am loved by His Majesty, and I always listen to His Majesty's teachings in front of Your Majesty. My son is a person with a brain disease. What knowledge I can have is nothing more than being by Your Majesty's side, and I have learned some truths. I am ashamed to teach these truths to others, but in fact, it is all thanks to His Majesty, it is Your Majesty who taught my sons well, so that Xu Jing and others are so promising."

  Emperor Hongzhi asked in surprise, "Really?"

  Fang Jifan shook his head in awe, and said with awe-inspiring righteousness: "My son is speaking out of righteousness!"

  All the ministers were completely convinced.

   This dog thing re-explained what it means to speak out.

  What a decent word, it seems that it won’t take long before it will become stinky. From then on, no one prides itself on speaking out with righteousness.

Emperor Hongzhi laughed dumbly: "Nonsense, it is your credit and your credit is your credit. Why refuse, I am the emperor, and I still rob you of this little credit. I talk about my brain disease all day long. The psychiatric department of Xishan Hospital has set up such a It's been a long time, and I haven't seen you go to see it. If you continue to talk nonsense, I will send you to the psychiatric department for ten or eight years."

  Fang Jifan shuddered, almost in tears, and said with an aggrieved face: "The minister there has no choice but to admit it, yes, the minister is full of peaches and plums, and he was lucky enough to teach some disciples. He is still a good talent and has made some contributions."

  Emperor Hongzhi: "..."

  Emperor Hongzhi didn't know if he should be satisfied.

But Xu Jing said at this time: "Your Majesty, when I came back this time, in addition to bringing a batch of special products and gold and silver from Huangjinzhou, I also brought a treasure, which I want to present to Your Majesty. Wang Wenyu from the School of Geography brought it back. He set off from Liaodong, crossed the strait by land, to the northern part of Huangjinzhou, and then went all the way south...to meet us..."

  Wang Wenyu...

  Emperor Hongzhi was a little moved.

  He thought Wang Wenyu was dead.

  The army that escorted him at the beginning failed to return, but he insisted on continuing westward.

  Emperor Hongzhi looked surprised, he looked at Xu Jing: "Where is everyone now?"

"After they reconciled with us, they fell into a serious illness because they were not acclimatized to the soil and water. After recuperating for a long time, they finally recovered. Because they had recovered from a serious illness, they were not suitable for sailing. Geographical atlas, and notes along the way, and a generous gift back."

  ...

Soon after.

   A large box was delivered to Emperor Hongzhi.

  The box was opened, and inside were stacks of manuscripts and albums.

  Xiao Jing picked up some and sent them to Emperor Hongzhi.

   This manuscript is obviously a few years old, but it is still well preserved.

  Open it, and there are maps drawn by Wang Wenyu.

  The Spaniards began to develop in the northern part of the Golden Continent. Therefore, in addition to crossing the Bering Strait, they also needed to find ways to cross the territories of many natives and Spaniards. This journey can be described as extremely difficult.

  The various tribes of the natives, the trading points of the Spaniards, and the number of armed forces are all recorded in great detail.

   What conditions are needed to pass through the Bering Strait, where are the locations of roads and bridges, and what methods are used... These are also recorded in great detail.

  In the notes, there are various records about climate and humanities, and even marked what mountains are there, what special products are there, and what are the pros and cons of stationing troops and horses.

  Emperor Hongzhi was shocked.

   This is really desperate.

  He carefully looked at the military strength and combat methods of the various native tribes and kingdoms along the way.

  Wang Wenyu even made a point.

   Developing in the south of the Golden Continent is far less than developing in the north.

  Because there are many dense forests in the south, it is not suitable for immigrants to expand the wasteland. Moreover, the natives are good at fighting in dense forests, and they are extremely dexterous.

But in the north, there are thousands of miles of fertile fields. Except for a few large mountain ranges, it is almost a large plain. As long as the immigrants organize a cavalry, if the natives invade, these natives who don’t know what cavalry is. It can be easily defeated with just one blow, and the war horse occupies an absolute advantage in the north.

  The Spaniards were in the south, and the space was compressed by Daming, and gradually began to advocate the management of the north, and Daming had to do everything possible to move north quickly.

   To do this, you must have a large number of horses, the more the better.

  Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help but suddenly realized.

  The message brought by Wang Wenyu is extremely precious.

Even the Golden Continent, to a certain extent, is just a concept for Daming. After all, it is too vast, with thousands of miles from north to south. To Daming, this is just a huge island. No matter how many places there are, it seems Hidden in the fog of the unknown.

   And useful intelligence is crucial.

  Emperor Hongzhi said subconsciously: "Come here, take the map."

  Xiao Jing hurriedly asked two eunuchs to fetch the map.

  The map was laid out directly on the ground like a carpet.

   This is a map of the Golden Continent.

On the top, there are only small dots. These small dots are densely covered in the south-central and western parts of the Golden Continent. Every dot is a settlement. The rest of the places, most of them, are blank and occupy the positions , maybe not even one percent.

  ………

  The first chapter has been delivered, ask for a monthly pass.
