Prodigal Son of the Ming Dynasty

  Chapter 307 Jade Blood Heart

  Emperor Hongzhi's words moved Fang Jifan very much.

  A group of young people are messing around, although they have some achievements, but there are a few elders or kings in this world who will say these heartfelt words to these young people.

Fang Jifan studied history and saw too many so-called imperial power tactics. These...maybe necessary. The first emperor was like this, Han Wudi was like this, and Tang Taizong's Xuanwu Gate was in chaos. ? Even in the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Taizu Gao's Hu Weiyong case and the Lanyu case were widely implicated; in the case of Emperor Wen's Jing Nan, he even moved the capital.

  These good emperors from ancient times all explained that if you want to make a difference, if you want to be a good emperor, you must be successful, and you must do great things with the blood, tears and grievances of thousands of people.

  But those great achievements are famous in history and praised by thousands of people, but how many people remember the grievances and blood and tears?

Fang Jifan is a modern person, and modern people have the consciousness of modern people, but when he was in front of Emperor Hongzhi, he had no temper at all. He also believed that Emperor Hongzhi, as an emperor, had his own powers, but there were not many such powers. He is a person with sincere feelings, a person who, like himself, is out of vulgar interests.

so…

  Fang Jifan didn't know if he was overwhelmed by Emperor Hongzhi, just like a monkey under a curse, the idea of ​​equality learned in the previous life collapsed in an instant.

   Fuck... the ancestors are amazing, and they can reverse brainwashing.

  Although I was complaining, I was still moved.

  His Majesty said these words in front of all the ministers, which is equivalent to giving a group of young people who want to flex their muscles a reassurance, so go ahead.

  Until the Emperor Hongzhi was satisfied, he ordered Xiao Jing to bring a few bags of potatoes, intending to enter the palace, and asked Shang Shanjian to get some mashed potatoes in the imperial dining room, and then drove back to the palace with a group of ecstatic veterans.

  Fang Jifan's heart is still warm.

   I have done so many things, but it is not in vain.

   After all, in this world, there is another saying that a scholar dies for his confidant.

  At this moment, there was only one thought in his mind, that Fang Jifan wanted to be loyal to Daming and serve His Majesty, even if he didn't have a girlfriend, he would do whatever he wanted.

  Fang Jifan led the people from Xishan, and looked at Emperor Hongzhi from a distance, watching the shadow of Shengjia. He saw Zhu Houzhao, who looked back three times at a step, reluctant to part.

  But he obediently followed Emperor Hongzhi back to the palace.

  Wait for the holy driver to go far away, Fang Jifan took a deep breath, looked back at Zhang Xin, and looked at many familiar faces.

   Everyone also looked at him.

  There were crystal clear tears in their eyes, as if they were... deeply touched.

   Your Majesty is holy!

  Fang Jifan suddenly said: "Do you feel something is missing?"

   Zhang Xin and the others were obviously still in the mood just now. Fang Jifan's words were too disobedient, so everyone looked at Fang Jifan in bewilderment.

  Fang Jifan spread his hands and said, "What about the reward?"

   "What?" Everyone fell silent.

   "I have made a great contribution, and everyone in the Thousand Households has made a great contribution!"

  Tiankeng, this is definitely a Tiankeng.

   This was not intentional, Fang Jifan would rather be surnamed pig in the future.

   Except for a little touching, what the hell, there is no reward. I was moved a bit, cheated a little tears, and then ran away...

   The wind is rustling...

   Seeing Fang Qianhu's expression of pain, Zhang Xin and others pulled their faces down.

Zhang Xin said sternly: "I respect Fang Qianhu. To us, Fang Qianhu is like a parent. He gave us a new way of life and made us realize that the world can be so vast. In the eyes of the humble people In my heart, Qianhu is like a beautiful jade without time, but today, there is a sentence in the humble, I don't know if I should say it or not?"

   "Stop talking." Fang Jifan waved his hand.

  He knew that Zhang Xin and the others must be very excited at this moment, and they had already been moved to a mess. They would definitely tell themselves plausibly, how could they be loyal to the court for the purpose of rewarding them? Or in other words, I will receive the grace of the country for the rest of my life.

   "A bunch of idiots!" Fang Jifan secretly despised in his heart. Only with rewards can there be greater motivation!

   Forget it, let’s eat goulash. After a long day, I’m really hungry and tired.

So next, a large banquet was held in Qianhusuo, and dozens of tables were set up for various cooking related to potatoes. Hot and sour potato shreds, potato roast beef, potato stewed beef brisket, and potato cakes were all brought up. , and the daughter Hong sent from Jiangnan, enough.

In this cold and twelfth lunar month, warm up some rice wine from the south of the Yangtze River. This wine has been filtered out of impurities and has an excellent taste. Fang Jifan can't understand why travelers are interested in Erguotou. In this era, there is such a good wine. The so-called Erguotou It was almost too much to swallow.

"It's really a waste." Wang Jinyuan sat at the bottom of Fang Jifan. He drank his daughter's red desperately, and wiped his mouth for fear of wasting it. Shake your head.

   These are all treasured wines, are they used to display wine? It's not such a waste to have silver. Looking at the missing figures on the book, Wang Jinyuan felt very distressed. This is also silver.

"Uncle Xinjian..." Wang Jinyuan looked around, and said in a low voice: "Drink less, you can't let the captains and wrestlers develop the habit of eating meat and drinking heavily, you can't get used to it, if they How can I afford it in the future..." Wang Jinyuan wanted to cry: "I will die of poverty."

  Fang Jifan patted him on the back, but said proudly: "It's different from the past. From now on, wine and meat will plummet. Believe it or not? Fortunately, you are still a businessman, so you can't see through it."

  Wang Jinyuan's heart was shocked, he is not a fool to be able to get to this day.

   Suddenly, he thought of something.

   Not bad...it's not like it used to be.

   Potatoes appear, sweet potatoes appear, what happens?

  At present, Daming’s grain production can barely support itself. Now that there are so many supplementary grains such as sweet potatoes, and high-yield grains such as potatoes, it can absorb a large number of refugees.

   This means that Daming is no longer short of food.

  There is no shortage of food, and some people will use the excess food to make wine, and some people will use it to feed livestock.

  Why is this drink so expensive?

  Because wine needs food to be brewed, one catty of wine costs ten catties of grain. The imperial court has always been opposed to the behavior of grain wine making, thinking that it will encourage luxury. If everyone follows suit, the rich will make wine on a large scale, and the grain on the market will inevitably skyrocket, which will greatly harm the common people.

  Can now...

  Everything is no longer a problem.

  So much grain is piled up in the barn, if it is not used to make wine or feed livestock, what else can it be used for?

  Fang Jifan blinked at him, a smile appeared on his lips, and said: "It's good to think about it, think about how to take advantage of the opportunity to do some business, business in this world is nothing more than to see who takes the first opportunity."

  Wang Jinyuan's eyes flashed a gleam, and then he said with high spirits: "Understood, I understand, the villain understands, thank you uncle Xinjian for reminding, the villain is confused, and the villain toasts you."

   Halfway through eating, someone rushed over from outside.

  Everyone took a look and saw that it was Zhu Houzhao.

  Zhu Houzhao obediently followed Emperor Hongzhi back to Beijing, and then obediently said to go back to the East Palace to rest.

  As soon as he parted ways with his father, he rushed to the west mountain again in a hurry.

   "I'm starving to death!" Zhu Houzhao squeezed Wang Jinyuan away, and sat next to Fang Jifan: "Bring the bowls and chopsticks, and serve me some beef."

   "Your Highness...you... are back again..." Fang Jifan was shocked. It took twenty miles to go back and forth, even if it was a fast horse, it was enough. Your Highness is really fast.

  Zhu Houzhao bared his teeth and grabbed Fang Jifan by the collar.

   "The cow was killed by Bengong. I kept my belly early in the morning, just waiting for this roast beef. You have such a vicious mind..."

"..." Fang Jifan was duty-bound to educate the crown prince as Shao Zhan's job, so he put on a straight face and said: "His Royal Highness is cautious, I have always emphasized agriculture in the Ming Dynasty, and cattle are agricultural artifacts. When did His Royal Highness kill the cow, someone saw it Is there any witnesses?"

   "Hey..." Zhu Houzhao woke up, scratched his head and said, "You, you are so good at pretending to be prudish, no wonder Father likes you, but not Ben Gong..."

cut…

  Fang Jifan despised him.

  ...

  In the warm pavilion of the palace.

  Emperor Hongzhi was still immersed in the joy of potatoes.

  In the evening, he specially ordered someone to steam the mashed potatoes, sat happily in the warm pavilion, looked at the mushy food, took a spoon, and ate it mouthful.

  In the future in Daming, many people will use this to satisfy their hunger.

  The taste is still good.

  The only bad thing is why I always feel that eating at night is not as good as eating during the day?

  In a flash of thought, Emperor Hongzhi remembered something, and suddenly realized it!

It turns out that the yellow rice porridge before the meal is the real appetizer. What the common people eat now is the yellow rice porridge. For him, potatoes may be just a common meal, but for the common people , In the future, they will no longer have to eat yellow rice porridge, but they will have countless potatoes, sweet potatoes, and even grains will no longer be a luxury in the future. This is how lucky they are.

  So...Although he felt a little greasy, Emperor Hongzhi still had a good time eating.

   Burped in satisfaction.

Comfortable!

  This is the one who enjoys with the people!

  A moment later, Xiao Jing walked into the warm pavilion cautiously, looked up at Emperor Hongzhi, and waited respectfully.

  Emperor Hongzhi withdrew his gratified smile. In front of outsiders, he still had to try his best to put on a serious look, and said in a deep voice, "Prince... How is the investigation going?"

When he came back, Emperor Hongzhi felt a little weird. He always felt that the prince was hiding something in his heart, so he wanted to catch him and pretended not to see it, but secretly ordered people to watch him, wanting to see what his son was doing again. What a name.

  …

   I've been a little busy these two days, sorry, this chapter came late, I kept you waiting for a long time, the second chapter should be as early as possible!
