Prodigal Son of the Ming Dynasty

  Chapter 265 Prince Gaocai

  Zhu Houzhao was really worried.

  People are like this, a high-ranking person will always be surrounded by a group of Qingliu and eunuchs, and probably will not have any sympathy for ordinary people.

   After all, the common people are too far away from him, even if they just see him from a distance, they will be upset for a while at most, but the nobles above are only upset for a while.

  They will probably think that those people in ragged clothes are not a species at all.

But after really getting in touch with ordinary people and working like ordinary people, at this time, it will give people a feeling, oh, so I am the same as him, with flesh and blood, I am so exhausted, I think they must be more painful Bar.

  This is empathy.

  The soldiers and civilians in Liaodong are obviously more miserable than the people in Xishan.

  Zhu Houzhao is a young man, how bad can a young man's mind be?

  Zhu Houzhao dejectedly said to Fang Jifan: "Is there any other way, you can tell me."

Fang Jifan said conveniently: "Your Majesty has agreed to send the order to Liaodong, and ordered the soldiers and civilians in Liaodong to be on alert, but in my opinion, the Ministry of War and Liaodong will not take it too seriously. The decree, write a letter to praise it, and then just put on a show."

   "After all, the sacrifice is too great to fortify the wall and clear the field."

Fang Jifan slowly analyzed that this is indeed a dilemma. Fortifying the walls and clearing the countryside is not as simple as talking about it. So many people give up their fields, give up their houses, and hide in the city. Of course they brought food into the city. I have something to drink, but where do I live? Don’t I still have to live on the street? What's more, once this happens, it means giving up production. In the coming year, is it going to eat dirt?

  God knows if the Tatars will come. If they don't come, it will really make people miserable.

The guards in various parts of Liaodong, as well as civil and military officials, naturally don't want to be so troublesome. After all, the people are not numbers, nor are they cattle and sheep. If you order them together, they will enter the city obediently. If you want to resolutely implement the strong wall and clear the country, you need to mobilize the entire bureaucratic system Let's face it, it's... a lot of fun to go to war in such a way that none of the Tatars saw it.

  Fang Jifan said again: "Perhaps if His Majesty can send Hanlin official Ouyang Zhi to read out the will, the matter will be half successful."

   Zhu Houzhao asked in surprise, "Ouyang Zhi?"

   To read the decree, if it comes from the imperial decree of the cabinet, it is usually read by the Hanlin officials or the officials of the Ministry of Rites, and the officials of the science and Taoism. This is the imperial envoy representing the imperial court and the emperor. But if it is the emperor's own private will, the **** will read it out. This is called Zhongzhi, and there is a difference between the two.

   His Majesty's decree to Liaodong will definitely go through the cabinet, because this is not the emperor's private matter, so the person who issued the decree can discuss it. As long as Ouyang Zhi is dispatched, it will be easy.

Ouyang Zhi has no other skills. If Fang Jifan is very rude, this student is mentally retarded and scum, but he has a shining point. Ouyang Zhi is an obedient person. Fang Jifan told him to go east, even if there is a pond at the foot of the east , he also stepped on it without hesitation.

Although Ouyang Zhi's official position is low, when he arrived in Liaodong, he represented the imperial court and the emperor. He brought the imperial decree to strengthen security, and at the same time hinted to the civil and military officials in Liaodong that the palace hopes to strengthen the wall and clear the country. Can the civil and military officials remain indifferent? ?

   "Ouyang Zhi? According to me, his IQ is not very high. Can he...can succeed?" Zhu Houzhao began to doubt.

  Fang Jifan glared at him: "His Royal Highness insulted the students of the minister..."

  Zhu Houzhao hurriedly waved his hands, and said awkwardly: "Ah, it's just a casual remark, can it work?"

  Fang Jifan said firmly: "It can be half done."

  Zhu Houzhao couldn't help asking: "What about the other half?"

  Fang Jifan said word by word: "Your Highness will send Liu Jin to accompany you in private, and make it clear to Liu Jin that if you can't do it by strengthening the wall and clearing the country, you will kill him. If you succeed, it will be a great achievement."

   "..." Zhu Houzhao began to doubt again.

   No matter how you look at it, it is a strange combination.

  So Zhu Houzhao said: "Liu Jin has nothing else to do except serving people."

Fang Jifan thought hehe, Your Highness doesn't know the fighting power of Eunuch Liu at all. In history, he was a big devil with blood on his hands. His name is just like his own. It can stop children from crying at night. , This kind of person is thrown into Liaodong, it is like a fish in water, and the combat effectiveness is beyond the charts.

  Fang Jifan hurriedly said: "Your Highness looks down on Liu Jin too much, a scum like Liu Jin..."

   Speaking of this, Fang Jifan was ashamed, as if... a slip of the tongue...

  He looked at Zhu Houzhao carefully, for fear that Zhu Houzhao would notice something.

  Zhu Houzhao also stared at Fang Jifan with a strange look: "Scum...what is scum?"

   MA, fortunately you are retarded. Fang Jifan breathed a sigh of relief: "The meaning of talent, scumbag, water check, the word "water" on the side represents the most clear water, checker, the meaning of check, probably means to see clearly."

  Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Old Fang, you know so much, no wonder Mr. Wang worships you as his teacher. But, you have such a high evaluation...just because of Liu Jin?"

  Fang Jifan sighed: "Your Highness still can't trust you?"

"Letter!" Zhu Houzhao said categorically, and then said: "This is easy to handle. When the imperial decree comes down, it needs to be sent to the cabinet by the supervisor of rites, and then the cabinet will appoint personnel to go to Liaodong. So just tell the supervisor of rites and let the supervisor of ceremonies recommend it. Ouyang Zhi will handle it, the cabinet won’t bother with such trivial matters, this matter is not difficult. Just send Ouyang Zhi, Liu Jin, anyway, they are sent by the East Palace, and it’s not just a matter of my palace’s words.”

  Speaking, Zhu Houzhao sighed: "Old Fang, I didn't even think about the matter of Liaodong, but you thought about it in advance. If I have a few more scumbags like you in Daming, why worry about the world not being peaceful."

"..." Fang Jifan wanted to cry, but he had no choice but to face life with a smile. He grinned hard, showing his neat and white teeth: "No, no, no, your highness is too humble, and your highness is also a scumbag, everyone, each other .”

   Zhu Houzhao said very stubbornly: "You are more of a scumbag, and I am still a little short of fire."

   "..."

  Fang Jifan felt a little pain in his heart: "Your Highness..."

"Okay, stop talking, let me praise you, you are still alive, say you are a scum, you are a scum, a man, why are you so unhappy! Are you going to go to Xishan to cultivate land? If you don't, I have to go, it's getting late, I still have a few acres of land that haven't been plowed yet."

  Hearing the scum coming and going, Fang Jifan felt very heartbroken, and said, "Your Highness, go by yourself."

  Seeing that Fang Jifan refused to go with him, Zhu Houzhao bared his teeth: "You asked Mr. Wang to plow the land, and Mr. Wang took us to plow the land. Why didn't you go?"

  Fang Jifan touched his head with a pitiful look: "I have a brain disease, so I can't go to the ground, I have to take care of it."

   "..." Zhu Houzhao looked at Fang Jifan suspiciously, and said, "Then you have to be more careful, but Mo's old illness has relapsed, so be careful."

   As he said, he hurried towards the eunuchs of the East Palace. The eunuchs had already prepared their horses. Zhu Houzhao got on the horses neatly and hurriedly rode them away.

  …

  During the Mid-Autumn Festival, the Fang family was still very lively, and the whole Fang mansion was decorated with lanterns and festoons.

   On this day, several disciples were also there. They changed into new clothes early in the morning and came to greet Fang Jifan as a teacher.

   During the holidays, Fang Jifan was in a good mood, nodding to them one by one, and gave them a few words of encouragement without hesitation.

  Then it started to distribute happy money. Originally, there were no such rules for the Mid-Autumn Festival, but Fang Jifan was happy.

It's not easy for the people in the house, they are tossed by themselves every day, especially Xiao Xiangxiang, who made a huge sacrifice for the young master's illness, therefore, Xiao Xiangxiang's red envelopes are double, heavy, envied by everyone In his eyes, Xiao Xiangxiang blushed and looked at Fang Jifan meaningfully.

I heard that the young master is very great now, and he has taught so many Jinshi masters. Although there are gossips, saying that the young master has met a dead mouse, but no matter what you say, Xiao Xiangxiang feels that the young master is getting more and more powerful, so that she thinks that the young master Even when he scolded Deng Jian for his NIANG, his voice still had the kind of "elegant words" that scholars read aloud when they read poems aloud.

Good to hear!

Therefore, Xiao Xiangxiang has recently started to learn to read and write. When she is free, she secretly hides and reads. The girls in the mansion see her like this, and they are probably making fun of her, but Xiao Xiangxiang doesn't care. The young master has become a very powerful person. If No matter how vulgar she is, the young master will definitely not want her when the time comes, and maybe she will send herself to the laundry room or marry herself off in the future.

  The double red envelopes are enough to prove that the young master treats herself differently from others. She squeezed the red envelopes hard, almost crushing the red cloth bag.

  Deng Jian stretched his head pitifully, and when he saw that the young master gave him a double red envelope, his eyes lit up. Then, he began to cry, sucking his nose hard and wiping the tears that were about to burst out of his eyes!

  The young master still knows my loyalty, Deng Jian, the young master does not say it, his heart is like a mirror.

   To Deng Jian, this is really a great encouragement. The degree of encouragement is only a little bit worse than the young master sending him a little PIGU. Of course, the greatest encouragement is sending a big PIGU to his wife.

  The rest of the people, no matter they are the stewards or the porters, everyone has a share. Fang Jifan sat in the hall, and the whole Fang family jumped up and received the red envelopes. The whole Fang family was beaming with joy.

The six disciples naturally also got red envelopes, but the red envelopes were not about money. You can’t talk about money with scholars, you have to talk about feelings. Fang Jifan sent each of them a running script written by himself, with words of encouragement on it, study hard and make progress every day such as.

  The writing is not bad, but compared to a scholar, it does lack a little meaning. Of course, the heart is very important.
