Prodigal Son of the Ming Dynasty

  Chapter 217 Magical calculation

   Out of the bag, there was only one thing that caught Fang Jifan's attention, and that was...a potato.

   Soil... Potatoes...

  Potatoes are also called potatoes.

   also came from the American continent.

  Of course, maybe it's because it doesn't look like the old ginseng, and it doesn't look so tall, so...that **** Hu merchant actually took out the sweet potato first.

  What is the difference between sweet potatoes and potatoes?

  The biggest difference is that potatoes are more suitable as a staple food.

  Of course, this is not the worst part. The worst part is that...fucking sweet potatoes are more suitable for cultivation in the south, while potatoes are more suitable for cold regions.

In other words, in order to cultivate sweet potatoes, Fang Jifan put a lot of thought into it. For example, in the south, sweet potatoes can be harvested twice a year, while in the north, they can only be harvested once a year. Be sure to properly dig the flue to keep the temperature of the ground.

   In order to maintain the production of sweet potatoes, Fang Jifan spent a lot of money.

   Potatoes, that is, potatoes, do not have this problem, because...it is suitable for cold regions. In the last life, sweet potatoes were commonly grown in the south, while potato production areas are mainly concentrated in the Northeast, Inner Mongolia and Shanxi.

  If... at that time, Hu merchants gave potatoes first, why did Fang Jifan spend so much time on cultivating sweet potatoes? This sweet potato can be transported to the south, slowly cultivated and improved, and then promoted.

  Grow potatoes by yourself.

  Hoo...

   "Has the merchant gone?" Fang Jifan frowned and looked up at Wang Jinyuan.

  Wang Jinyuan was stunned: "Well, if you want to come and go, little uncle...you..."

  Fang Jifan suddenly looked fierce, bared his teeth and said: "Don't let me see him again next time, see him again, chop him up and feed him to the dogs."

  The air is very dignified.

Fang Jifan heaved a sigh of relief, then carefully picked up the potato, and handed it to Wang Jinyuan: "Send it to Zhang Xin, and tell him that his wife has run away. It's not scary. If you want to turn grief into strength, cultivate this thing for me." , this cold-resistant thing must be taken care of carefully."

  Wang Jinyuan looked at Fang Jifan's serious expression, nodded quickly, collected the potatoes carefully, and ran away in a hurry.

   Immediately, Fang Jifan sat down, thinking about it carefully, it seems that there is nothing to do. The sweet potatoes will definitely be transplanted to the south. After the spring of the next year, if it goes well, the potatoes are almost cultivated, and we will continue to promote them at that time.

  As for the sweet potatoes here now, since the seedlings were planted, it is almost the harvest season. This sweet potato can at least achieve a bumper harvest this year, and at least it can show its efficacy.

   Well, that's all for now.

   After leaving a few students in Xishan Academy, Fang Jifan rushed back to the city. That's right, it's just like this way of throwing away the shopkeeper, so willful.

  Fang Jifan is now gradually letting go of education to his disciples, handing over mines and business to Wang Jinyuan, and handing over all planting to Zhang Xin.

  Even if it is precious potatoes, Fang Jifan is completely at ease to hand over to Zhang Xin, this is because Zhang Xin has accumulated a lot of agricultural experience, compared with him, he is simply a layman, who will not give it to him?

  Back to the mansion, it was noon. When Deng Jian saw the young master coming back, he rushed up excitedly and said: "Young master, young master, uncle is back from repairing books."

  Finally there is audio.

  Fang Jifan almost burst into tears. Although he didn't spend much time with this father, he felt the real father's love from the real Fang Jinglong!

   Counting the days, this time, it has been a few months since I left. The ancients parted, and the mountains and rivers are far away. Sometimes there is no news for several months, which will inevitably add a lot of parting feelings.

  Fang Jifan regarded Fang Jinglong as his real father in his heart. When he heard about him, he quickly took the letter and went straight to the study.

   "Haha... I have arrived in Guiyang, and I have started to take over the mountain camp, huh? Is he not on good terms with the governor of Guizhou?"

Fang Jifan has nothing to worry about. His father is going to take over as the chief soldier of Guizhou. The chief soldier is a military officer and is under the jurisdiction of the governor. What Ming advocates is to use literature to control military forces. In fact, in terms of rank, the rank of the chief soldier is not lower than that of the governor. , but this military matter is still decided by the governor.

   There will definitely not be harmony between the governor and the chief soldier, because the governor's duty is to supervise the army.

Although there were some small complaints in it, most of them were Fang Jifan's greetings. Fang Jifan felt warm in his heart. He was full of interest, and with a smile on his face, he said to Deng Jian: "Go and ask Xiang'er to grind ink for my young master." , this young master wants to repair books."

  Deng Jian looked at Fang Jifan with a resentful look on his face: "Master, in fact... villains can also grind ink."

  Fang Jifan's heart trembled, Deng Jian's expression was so weird, it couldn't be...

   Thinking a little bit deeply, he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, Fang Jifan immediately bared his teeth and said: "Go and call Xianger."

   "Oh." Under Fang Jifan's glaring gaze, Deng Jian could only obey!

  Xiao Xiangxiang came, and when she heard that the young master made her a special trip to grind the ink, her face turned red. These days, she looks a little plump, and coupled with her pretty face and slightly flushed appearance, it's quite heart-wrenching.

   "Come, sit on the young master's lap and rub the ink for the young master." Fang Jifan was used to all kinds of molestation.

   "Master, you can't..." Xiao Xiangxiang bowed her head, lowered her head, and looked at her toes. How could she really dare to sit on Fang Jifan's lap, just stood by the desk, and tiptoed to work.

  Actually, Fang Jifan was just talking habitually, um, he was really serious, seeing that Xianger had almost polished the ink, he took it easy, thought about it, and then dipped the ink and picked up the brush.

   Probably said something that everything is fine at home.

   Just a thought, Fang Jifan looked hesitant.

  This time, the father is in the name of the general, not only to control the mountain camp, but also to suppress the rebels.

This Milu's rebellion lasted for three years in history, causing the court to suffer, but now... it's almost the same, one governor was defeated, and another governor was defeated. If Milu didn't die, these rebellious chieftains would be like a nightmare, causing the court to continue to suffer.

   And the reason why this rebellion lasted for so long, in history, really lies in Miru.

  Generally, the rebellion is a rebel uprising, and the official army suppresses it. If the official army loses, they will continue to increase their troops until the rebellion subsides.

But the complexity of Milu's rebellion lies in that Milu is an extremely cunning person, she never appears on the battlefield, and the imperial court fights back and forth with the rebels in the mountains, even if they win a few games, they can't People are still coming!

   If Miru is not captured for a day, this rebellion will never stop!

  Regarding this point, Fang Jifan also had to admire this woman named Milu. God knows what inspiring means she has to drive so many natives to work for her.

but…

Fang Jifan squinted his eyes and stared at the wet letter. He remembered an incident in history. The reason why he couldn't find her was because she had been hiding in a rocky creek with a troop. The place of the stronghold, this place, the mountain road is rugged, it is difficult to walk, but it is not a battleground for military strategists, behind the battle line, the imperial court has always ignored this place.

   What if... father brings a mountain camp and raids here?

  Once Miru's central army is captured, then...the entire rebel army will fall apart.

  Perhaps, I should give my father a reminder. As for the others, it has nothing to do with me.

After thinking about it, Fang Jifan drew up a pen and mentioned Shijianzhai. Of course, in order to cover up his "magical calculation", Fang Jifan had to come up with a reason, and his reason was very simple. Milu was cunning. Fang Jifan had checked the map of the rebel area Afterwards, she thought that Miru was cunning, so she would definitely find a place to hide. This Shijian village is easy to defend and difficult to attack, but it is not a place that must be contested. In nine out of ten, she hid here and asked her father to wait for the opportunity.

   After finishing writing, as if he had completed a major event, he turned his wrist and ordered someone to send it out immediately. Only then did Fang Jifan heave a long sigh of relief.

  …

   At this time, in the Snapper.

  After Emperor Hongzhi cheered up, he began to become more diligent in his administration.

  Participated in a court meeting early in the morning, and then summoned three bachelors, Liu Jian!

There are two things to be discussed today. One is about the situation of Jiangnan’s grain release. The severe cold weather is coming. In order to prevent the canal from freezing, Jiangnan must be escorted to Beijing as soon as possible. It started to run short. Under such circumstances, if the food in the south is not available, the imperial court will definitely be in a state of distress.

  The second question is about Miru's rebellion. Although it has experienced a great victory, the end of the thirteenth year of Hongzhi is coming. If the war can't end this year, I don't know how long it will be delayed.

  These two issues are the imperial court's worries at the moment, and Emperor Hongzhi is very worried about this.

  Although he is the emperor and owns the vast rivers and mountains, many things are not something that an emperor can do as he pleases! Let’s talk about the issue of the early entry of food and taxes into Beijing. This involves a huge project, and any problem in any link may produce unpredictable results.

   But at this time, Xie Qian reported a different thing: "Your Majesty, I have heard some rumors and gossip, and I ask your Majesty to learn from you..."

   "It's okay for the Qing family to say." Emperor Hongzhi smiled gently.

If you look carefully, it is not difficult to see that Xie Qian's face is a bit strange, and he said at this time: "One is that His Royal Highness and Fang Jifan have established an academy, and His Royal Highness has become the dean of the academy. A lot of discussion."

   "..."

The smile on Emperor Hongzhi's lips disappeared immediately, and his face pulled down instantly, and he couldn't help but gritted his teeth and said: "I know this rebellious son, he is always unwilling to take it easy, it seems that I am still too tolerant of him, You see, it's only been a few days, and he's going to mess around, and he's even instigating Fang Jifan, doesn't Fang Jifan usually have official duties? He has to jump up and down with this rebellious son!"

  …

  Good morning everyone, um, Tiger has been working hard at the forefront, everyone should continue to support it, if there are votes for votes, Tiger will not be dizzy!
