Prodigal Son of the Ming Dynasty

  Chapter 478 Ping Xihou presents a big gift

   Confided the seeds, and the next morning, Xiao Xiangxiang hurried to wake Fang Jifan up: "Young master, young master..."

  Fang Jifan rubbed his eyes, kicked up his shoes and said, "What?"

   "From last night until early this morning, the young lady refused to eat no matter what... breastfeeding, the madam hurriedly turned around. At three o'clock yesterday, I invited a woman to come, but she also refused to eat."

  Fang Jifan was overjoyed: "Don't eat cheap food, good job, it really is from the Fang family, this is a bit like my young master."

   "..." Xiao Xiangxiang's pretty face froze: "Master, are you sick?"

sick…

  Fang Jifan's heart skipped a beat. In this era, the level of medical care is low, and it is common for children to die young!

  Fang Jifan didn't dare to be negligent, he only wore an inner jacket, and said, "Where is the person, where is the person?"

   "It's in the hall."

   So Fang Jifan walked quickly into the hall, Fang Xiaofan was sobbing, but thinking about crying all night last night, he seemed lifeless, and his crying was very weak.

  Milu was so anxious that he burst into tears.

   After Fang Jifan approached, Fang Xiaofan saw Fang Jifan approaching, his eyes lit up, and his mouth began to squirm.

  Fang Jifan froze for a moment, he seemed to understand something, but this... a bit embarrassing.

  Seeing that Fang Jifan refused to stretch out his fingers, Fang Xiaofan let out a whimper and began to cry heart-piercingly.

  Fang Jifan blushed and said, "I'll go clean my hands."

   Washed his hands in a hurry, Fang Xiaofan was out of breath from crying, stretched out his hand, his mouth snapped, and he bit Fang Jifan's finger firmly, Fang Jifan's face twitched, and the sacred feeding procedure was completed.

  Seeing that Fang Xiaofan stopped crying, Mi Lu wiped away his tears.

But Fang Xiaofan sucked hard for a long time, suddenly swallowed his tongue, and didn't want Fang Jifan's fingers anymore. With a woo-wah, tears started flying again, with an aggrieved look on his face, as if he had been cheated, this time it was even more earth-shattering , as if her personality has been humiliated and her spirit has been hurt.

  Fang Jifan was stunned.

  What's going on?

   Not working?

  He and Milu stared at each other, Xiao Xiangxiang suddenly said: "Master, have you given her anything to eat?"

   "No, I just teased her, rubbed some candy on my hand, and gave her a taste..."

   Speaking of this, Fang Jifan was shocked.

  Could it be... After tasting the sugar, I lost interest in the weak milk?

   What a mouthful!

  Xiao Xiangxiang looked at Fang Jifan with a bit of anger: "Master, before the baby is weaned, you can't eat indiscriminately, otherwise...she won't breastfeed."

  Fang Jifan said with shame: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I'll try it first."

So Fang Jifan asked someone to mix some sugar with warm water, and after stirring, he came to Fang Xiaofan again. Fang Xiaofan seemed suspicious in his eyes, as if he would lie to me again this time, he hesitated for a moment, and slapped again. Grumble.

  This sour...

  Fang Jifan was ashamed, Fang Xiaofan was desperately sucking, this time... seemed very happy.

   "Next... what should I do? How about squeezing out that stuff first, and then mixing some sugar, I need to get a milk bottle."

  Milu and Xiao Xiangxiang looked at Fang Jifan, speechless.

  Looked at by the not-so-kind eyes, Fang Jifan smiled wryly and said, "I'm also a victim, okay? Look at her, I never thought she's such a picky eater, it's not good to be a picky eater, it's not like me at all."

  But at this time, Guanshi Yang poked his head outside and said, "Madam, Madam, it's time to enter the palace."

  Milu felt a headache and had to hand over the child to Xiao Xiangxiang first. Fang Jifan volunteered and hugged the child.

   There is no delay in entering the palace, so Milu had no choice but to go to prepare to freshen up and prepare to enter the palace.

Xiao Xiangxiang took the sugar water, asked someone to squeeze some milk, and then stirred it together. Fang Jifan stretched out his hand, dipped in the milk with sugar, and stuck it in from time to time. Replace it with another one.

   "It's not an option to go on like this." Fang Jifan wanted to cry but had no tears.

  Fang Xiaofan ate very attentively. As soon as Milu left, there was a noisy sound outside, but it was Zhu Houzhao who brought Liu Jin!

  Zhu Houzhao laughed loudly and said: "Old Fang, what are you doing? Go, go to the palace, your stepmother has entered the palace, don't you know?"

   "I'm breastfeeding." Fang Jifan's fingers were still in Fang Xiaofan's mouth, and he couldn't help grinning!

Although this child hasn't grown deciduous teeth yet, she does have tooth roots. To her, breastfeeding is the most important thing in the world, and it takes a lot of effort. Fang Jifan feels that his other finger... Swollen.

   Zhu Houzhao was overjoyed, and excitedly came over: "This child looks a lot like Bengong..."

   "..."

  Zhu Houzhao said happily: "I'll give you a hug, I'll give you a hug."

  Fang Jifan naturally refused.

On the other hand, Liu Jin behind him looked at the sugar milk in Xiao Xiangxiang's hand, unbelievably, saliva flowed from the corner of his mouth, and stared straight at him. He subconsciously tried to look away, and then took it out of his sleeve. A broad bean, taking advantage of Zhu Houzhao's inattention, stuffed it into his mouth quickly, which relieved a little.

  Zhu Houzhao also stretched out his finger, but Fang Xiaofan didn't even look at it. With a woo-wah, he started to cry again.

   Zhu Houzhao felt despised, and his expression was very tangled.

  Xiao Xiangxiang said: "Young master, you can enter the palace. You can't let the lady stay in the palace alone, but you can't let it go. Miss, the servants will take good care of you."

  Fang Xiaofan was tired from crying, he seemed to be satisfied after eating a lot of sugar milk, his eyelids began to fight, although he really wanted to struggle and **** more milk, he finally fell asleep.

  Fang Jifan carefully handed Fang Xiaofan to Xiao Xiangxiang, and then sighed: "Go, enter the palace!"

  …………

  Emperor Hongzhi was sitting in the warm pavilion, sitting upright.

  He still has lingering fears about the legendary 'rebel'.

  Liu Jian and others knelt on the left and right, each with a straight face.

  A moment later, Xiao Jing entered the cabinet and said, "Your Majesty, someone is here."

  Emperor Hongzhi asked the case, this woman was going to see the Empress Dowager soon, but Emperor Hongzhi was still a little worried, so he summoned her in advance.

  Thinking of the endless troubles this woman had caused Daming back then, Emperor Hongzhi felt a little displeased.

  Fang Jinglong, that guy has grown up.

  After being loyal all my life, I suddenly encountered such a difficult problem.

  Liu Jian and others have been silent all the time. They will never express any opinions on this matter, because...there is really nothing to say.

  A moment later, Milu stepped into the warm pavilion. She was dressed in a costume, the attire of a native of the Southwest, and she looked extremely heroic!

  Before entering the palace, the knife on her waist had been removed, otherwise... she would look more heroic, even as a mother, she would not lose her aggressive heroism.

  She lowered her head slightly and saluted, "Chen Milu, I have seen His Majesty the Emperor."

   Then, he paused and kowtowed, showing a tame look.

  Emperor Hongzhi, Liu Jian and others looked at each other, and finally heaved a sigh of relief.

  What they are most worried about is that this woman does not know etiquette. Once she does something that violates the rules, it will be even more troublesome.

  Emperor Hongzhi said indifferently: "Oh, get up, you are Miru? Miru, are you guilty?"

   "I know." Miru actually looked very calm!

  Actually, Fang Jifan has been worried that she will say something wrong or do something wrong when she enters the palace this time. If Fang Jifan sees her submissive appearance at this time, he will be a little surprised.

"The courtier's daughter is so bold that she offends the might of God. This is a heinous crime. Even if it is cut into pieces, the courtier will have no regrets. It is never expected that the sage is generous and benevolent, and he will pardon the courtier. In the mind of the courtier, Thank you so much."

  Emperor Hongzhi was sullen and slightly relaxed.

  I asked Fang Jinglong to act cheaply, and Fang Jinglong pardoned Milu directly.

  At least, Miru didn't look like a rebellious traitor when he said these words.

   "Since that's the case, then it's better to reform."

  Milu was silent for a moment, and then said: "My daughter no longer has the heart to rebel, especially after being taught by my husband, I know that His Majesty is benevolent and generous, and I am willing to serve Your Majesty until death."

  Speaking nicely, Emperor Hongzhi's face became more relaxed.

  Fang Jinglong is good at teaching his son, and he is good at controlling his wife.

  Milu went on to say: "My daughter came this time and brought something, which I want to present to Your Majesty."

  Emperor Hongzhi said indifferently: "What is it?"

   "370,000 natives of Guizhou yellow book!"

  Yellow book...

  The yellow book is the household registration.

However, the imperial court is in Guizhou and Yunnan provinces. Han people are generally registered people, and they will be recorded in the yellow book, how many people are in the family, what occupation they are engaged in, and where their household registration is. What is related is taxation. How much food you pay for the members of your family needs to be collected in conjunction with the yellow book.

  The people who are not in the yellow book are generally called hermits and refugees. These are the most troublesome problems for the court.

  The natives are often managed by the chieftains, and the imperial court adopts a policy of restraint, which is only responsible for contacting the chieftains, and the natives below are not contacted.

Now, Fang Jinglong has actually started to officially reform the natives in Guizhou. Not only that, the implementation of the reform has reached such a gratifying level that countless natives have begun to be included in the yellow book. This means that the imperial court has thoroughly grasped the situation of the natives in Guizhou, and these natives have also been thoroughly brought into the direct governance of the government, and they all belong to the registered people.

  Emperor Hongzhi raised his eyebrows, with a serious look on his face, he said: "The 370,000 natives are all recorded in the yellow book?"

"Yes." Milu said: "There are still quite a few of them in the deep mountains. The husband is gradually grasping their situation. In the next two years, the reform of the land and return to the locals will continue. The original native officials, the husband-in-law has ordered When they went to Guiyang City, they were given salaries and allowed to live in the city, without their husband-in-law’s personal permission, and they were not allowed to return to their own stockades.”

  Emperor Hongzhi gasped.

  Reform the soil and return it to the people...beginning to show results gradually!

  Fang Jinglong really has two brushes.
