Prodigal Son of the Ming Dynasty

  Chapter 897 There is true love in the world

  Ouyang Zhi was expressionless.

  In fact, the planning has already been done, and the loan matter has also taken shape.

  As for how to mortgage, how to repay the debt, everything has been done properly.

  Building roads is imminent.

  Actually, logically speaking, he should discuss it with the county officials.

  Unfortunately, the assistant officers are all 'sick'.

  Since they were all sick, of course, everything was decided by Ouyang Zhi.

  Ouyang Zhi fell silent when he saw everyone complaining.

The Juren and the gentry said one after another: "More than 200,000 taels of silver, what a huge amount, just to build a road, what good is this road for our Dingxing County? I'm afraid, when the news spreads, the common people will complain."

  Someone even beat their chest and stumbled: "Xianzun, absolutely not..."

  However, everyone said one sentence to another, and after talking about it, they gradually lost their confidence.

  Because... Ouyang Xianzun neither roared nor angry.

   Instead, he looked dumbfounded, silent...

  The silence... chills the heart.

   "People... people... I'm going to die..." After a person said weakly, he closed his mouth cautiously.

  Ouyang Zhi just said indifferently: "My will has been decided!"

   "..."

  …

  A memorandum of impeachment was sent to the cabinet.

   Immediately, Chen was placed on the imperial case of Emperor Hongzhi.

  Emperor Hongzhi frowned after reading the memorial.

  He glanced at Liu Jian who personally delivered the memorial.

  Liu Jian sighed and said: "Your Majesty, old minister, I have ordered someone to invite Captain Fang."

  Emperor Hongzhi nodded: "Is what Yushi Yang Jian played true?"

  Liu Jian nodded: "It's true."

  Emperor Hongzhi remained silent.

  Fang Jifan came very quickly, and he was always very energetic when he heard that he was going to enter the palace.

   Entered Fengtian Hall, saluted and said: "I have seen Your Majesty."

  Emperor Hongzhi didn't say anything, but pointed to the memorial on the copybook.

  An **** understood and sent this memorial to Fang Jifan.

  Fang Jifan opened it, and said: "There is some road construction. It can be said that my disciple Tuli Xishan Bank, and even colluded with Xishan Jianye. My minister greatly disagrees. Your Majesty, His Royal Highness, he..."

  Emperor Hongzhi was stunned: "What does this have to do with the prince?"

  Fang Jifan said sternly: "Your Majesty may have forgotten that His Royal Highness is the big owner of Xishan Qianzhuang and Xishan Jianye..."

   "..."

  In fact, this is something that Zhu Houzhao and Fang Jifan worked together in partnership.

  Everyone has shares.

  The crown prince is the crown prince after all. Whether it is Jianye or a bank, does the legal person let Fang Jifan come?

  Thus, in everyone's impression, Fang Jifan is the mastermind behind Xishan Jianye and Xishan Bank, but in fact, wherever he goes to reason, in the contract, Zhu Houzhao is the leader.

  Fang Jifan continued: "The most abominable thing about this censor is that he slanders His Highness the Crown Prince for profit. It is really heinous. I believe that there must be a conspiracy..."

  Fang Jifan said something serious, which caused Liu Jian quite a headache: "Don't talk about His Royal Highness, first talk about Ouyang Zhi's road construction, whose idea is it?"

Fang Jifan said: "It was Ouyang Zhi's idea. As a student of mine, I have always been smart, open-minded, and high-spirited. Because of this, among all the students, what I admire the most is his wit that dares to think and fight." !"

Fang Jifan said again: "If Mr. Liu doesn't believe it, then go to Dingxing County and ask him. If you still don't believe it, then go ahead and torture him for three days and three nights. I believe he will answer honestly. That was his idea."

  Fang Jifan thought to himself, whatever you want to do, if Ouyang Zhi dares to confess me, Fang Jifan will be blind, and he will no longer believe that there is truth in this world.

   "..."

  Emperor Hongzhi was a little speechless.

  Liu Jian sighed.

  Emperor Hongzhi said: "In this way, the culprits impeached by the censor are the crown prince and Ouyang Qing's family?"

Fang Jifan said solemnly: "Has your Majesty forgotten? Ouyang Zhi went to Dingxing County to set an example for the whole world. If he sets an example, boldly innovates and is not opposed by others, then I think this is Ouyang Zhi." The more you are scolded, the more it proves that Ouyang Zhi is very courageous. Your Majesty, back then, people scolded Shang Yang and Wang Anshi, who dared to be the first in the world. Being scolded?"

"As for road construction, my son is now explaining that everything is useless. He just thinks that since it needs to be repaired, let's try to repair it. If something goes wrong, the scope of the damage will only be within one county, but if it is useful? ?”

   There is really no way to explain it to His Majesty and Liu Jian.

  Because this involves the principles of economics, Emperor Hongzhi and Liu Gong are like old bacon and antiques five hundred years ago to Fang Jifan, who has lived for two generations. How can you explain? Don't be blind, just do it, the results come out, seeing is believing, is the most profound education.

  After all, Fang Jifan is an honest and honest person, different from those **** who rely on lip service.

  Emperor Hongzhi breathed a sigh of relief: "I'm only worried about one thing. Ouyang Qing's family is so harsh in Dingxing County. I'm afraid that the officials will force the people to rebel."

   This is the truth.

   After collecting a tax of 110,000 taels of silver, Emperor Hongzhi was frightened. There is so much silver in a small county, what a burden this is for the people.

  Now these people are fat and anointed, and they still need to build roads, and they don’t have enough money to build roads, so they have to borrow money.

this…

  Fang Jifan said with a smile: "If your majesty is worried, the factory guards are there, isn't there manpower?"

  Emperor Hongzhi glanced at Xiao Jing.

  Xiao Jing understood, nodded his head and said, "Your servant understands."

   Liu Jian, on the other hand, was even more worried. Even if the factory guards went, what was the use?

  But at this time, an **** outside said: "Your Majesty, the grandson of the emperor is back."

"what?"

  Emperor Hongzhi jumped up when he heard this, and he looked at Fang Jifan in surprise.

  Fang Jifan was also stunned. After counting the days, it should not be the time for vacation. Why did the emperor and grandson come back suddenly.

In fact, Fang Jifan has long been the treasurer of the nursery school. After all, there is Zhu Xiurong. She is a good woman, intelligent and virtuous. Fang Jifan dares to say boldly in front of anyone that his wife is the best woman in the world. ,none of them!

  Emperor Hongzhi hurriedly asked, "Where is the man?"

  At this time, Zhu Zaimo walked in unsteadily.

  He is still the same, he doesn't like to be hugged.

  Zhu Zaimo is no longer young, walking more steadily, quite strong, he carried his book bag, entered the hall, and bowed to Emperor Hongzhi: "Grandson has seen the father."

   "Haha..." All the troubles of Emperor Hongzhi disappeared, and he got off the golden throne: "Why are you back?"

   "In the past few days, I have been learning filial piety. In order for us to experience it in practice, my teacher asked us to go home and see our parents. We also need to wash our parents' feet."

   "Ah..." Emperor Hongzhi was both relieved and emotional, and at the same time gave Fang Jifan a look of displeasure: "This is what you taught, the child is so young, how can you let him..."

  Fang Jifan shook his head hurriedly: "Your Royal Highness taught it, and my son is wronged."

  Emperor Hongzhi was busy holding Zhu Zaimo, feeling very kind in his heart, and carefully looked at his grandson, who had grown taller and taller again.

  Zhu Zaimo broke free from Emperor Hongzhi's hand, stepped forward again, and said to Liu Jian, "I have seen Master Liu."

  Liu Jian felt warm in his heart, stroked his beard, and thought to himself, the grandson of the old man, come back after thinking about it, they are all sensible children.

  Zhu Zaimo immediately went to Fang Jifan and saluted his disciple: "The disciple has met his teacher."

  Fang Jifan patted his head: "Good boy."

  Zhu Zaimo just seemed to have completed the task, and smiled at Fang Jifan: "Father, when grandson came in, I heard that father was scolding his teacher?"

  Emperor Hongzhi: "..."

  Xiao Jing smiled and said from the side: "Your Highness..."

  Zhu Zaimo said: "The eldest father is the grandson's close relative, but the teacher taught the grandson to solve the doubts. The kindness is as heavy as a mountain. Don't scold him in the future. If the teacher is wrong, just scold the grandson."

   What a conscientious boy.

  Fang Jifan was touched, unconsciously, stood behind Zhu Zaimo, and then looked at Emperor Hongzhi with aggrieved eyes. In fact, he really wanted to hit me... stupid...

  Emperor Hongzhi smiled wryly, but was immediately amused by Zhu Zaimo.

   I want to hug Zhu Zaimo, and say: "Okay, okay, okay, I will answer you for everything."

  Zhu Zaimo said: "But for some reason, the eldest father wants to scold the teacher."

  Fang Jifan was not at all surprised when he asked these questions, this guy loves to ask why.

  Emperor Hongzhi smiled and said, "When you grow up, you will know."

  Zhu Zaimo said: "But the grandson has grown up."

   "..."

  Liu Jian was interested, and said: "Your Highness has been in school for nearly a year. Since His Highness asked, then let me tell you."

  He stroked his beard, with countless expectations for the emperor and grandson in his heart. When he saw the emperor and grandson, he felt extraordinarily cheerful. It was strange to say, why did he feel inexplicably irritable when he saw Fang Jifan?

  Liu Jian actually took it seriously, and told all the causes and consequences of this matter. He was afraid that Zhu Zaimo would not understand, so he deliberately explained in detail.

  Emperor Hongzhi suddenly understood Liu Jian's meaning. Liu Jian hoped that the emperor's grandson would be influenced by his ears and eyes since he was a child, and let him know that governance in this world is not easy.

  Zhu Zaimo frowned and listened very carefully.

   Wait until Liu Jian has finished speaking.

  Zhu Zaimo said casually: "The government is forcing the people to rebel? Master Liu, worry too much."

   "..." Liu Jian was smiling, but immediately, his face turned ugly.

  He wanted to educate Zhu Zaimo, such as the relationship between the monarch and his ministers, the relationship between the government and the people, but who knew that Zhu Zaimo was so assertive and said on the spot that he was wrong.
