Chapter 478: The Third Great Artifact is Born
Xiao Xiangxiang looked at Fang Jifan with adoration.
Unexpectedly...... The young master can still coax children.
What a caring person.
Fang Xiaofan was sucking hard, his big eyes opened, and he looked straight at Fang Jifan!
Fang Jifan's eyes widened with her, and he couldn't help but say, "Xiao Xiangxiang, who do you say she looks like?" ”
"It goes without saying." Xiao Xiangxiang said: "Of course it's like a master." ”
Fang Jifan shook his head and said, "You didn't tell the truth. ”
Xiao Xiang said crisply: "Like a young master." ”
"I think it's a bit like that, too." Fang Jifan said: "In the future, I will definitely become a beauty like you." ”
“……”
This is purely a commercial blow, Xiao Xiangxiang immediately said: "It will also look as good as the young master." ”
Fang Jifan nodded and said, "Of course." ”
After a while, Miru came.
In a hurry, seeing Fang Jifan hugging Fang Xiaofan, he said, "It's too late to come back." ”
"It's okay." Fang Jifan shook his head, but he didn't know how to call her, in fact, he really wanted to call her an aunt, but he was afraid of being photographed, so forget it.
Miru took the child, and the child also stretched out his tender little hand, desperately trying to hold Fang Jifan's fingers, but when he saw Fang Jifan take his fingers, he immediately suffered 10,000 tons, and cried.
Miru hurriedly coaxed and glanced at Fang Jifan.
Fang Jifan is stupid, stupid, this is a finger, this kid must be lacking in IQ, so he can deceive.
Miru coughed and said, "Jifan, I'll have something to say to you later." ”
Fang Jifan said: "It's okay, it's okay to say it now." ”
"Not right now." Miru said: "The child is hungry. ”
"Oh." Fang Jifan suddenly realized, slapped his head, and ran away.
After waiting for a while, the satisfied Fang Xiaofan had fallen asleep, and Xiao Xiangxiang hugged her patiently, coaxing her in a low voice.
Fang Jifan went and returned, Miru glanced at Fang Jifan, and said with emotion: "I often go out these days and see many women, and they all praise you for being a good boy. ”
"Really?" Fang Jifan was happy: "I don't know...... You...... When to enter the palace? ”
Miru was not too interested in the word 'you', but said: "I will enter the palace tomorrow." ”
"Then I'll prepare a gift." Fang Jifan is very good at this.
Miru shook his head: "It's ready." ”
"Ready?" Fang Jifan panicked in his heart, this, this...... Why is there some hair in your heart? But it's inconvenient to ask.
Miru seemed to see Fang Jifan's thoughts, and said, "Don't worry, in your words, I'm not in vain." ”
"......" uh, Fang Jifan thought this word was strange.
Miru said, "Your father and I ...... In the past two years, the promotion of sweet potatoes and potatoes in Guizhou has been quite effective. The next step is to change the land and return to the river...... Your father hoped that Guizhou would become a model for the southwestern provinces, and if Guizhou's affairs were done, then the natives of Yunnan, Guangxi, and even Huguang would be the same. In this way, he can be regarded as worthy of the Ming Emperor. ”
Fang Jifan sighed in his heart, it turned out that his father in Guizhou not only spent his mind on manufacturing Fang Xiaofan, but also did something.
Miru said again: "As long as the southwestern provinces are certain, then your father hopes to complete the uncontested business of the ancestors of the Fang family. ”
Fang Jifan said inexplicably: "What? ”
Miru said: "In the past few years, heavy rains have caused disasters in Annan, and countless people have been displaced. The king of Annam is called a Ming courtier, but they are in the West, but they regard themselves as the emperor of Annam, and change the calendar of the year name, do you know this? ”
Fang Jifan shook his head.
However, it is not a good thing to change the era name and calendar without permission.
At this time, this was tantamount to a rebellion.
For example, the Korean state is a vassal to the Ming Dynasty, so their era name is also the same as the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty is the fourteenth year of Hongzhi, and the era name used by the Korean State is also the fourteenth year of Hongzhi. All edicts of the Joseon State, as well as official correspondence, used the era name of Hongji.
Even after the fall of the Ming Dynasty, the Li Dynasty of Korea still regarded the Manchu Qing Dynasty as a dog and a sheep Yidi, privately called the Qing Emperor "Emperor Hu", and called the Qing envoy "captive envoy". In addition to the official congratulatory table to the Manchu Qing Dynasty, all internal official documents, including the royal tombs, the Zong Temple, and the Confucian Temple, still use the Chongzhen era name. Officially, as for private writings, until the end of the Qing Dynasty, there were still people who wrote the year name of Chongzhen, so that there was even a year of "Chongzhen 265".
Annam's approach is quite similar to the attitude of the Joseon State towards the Manchus, except for the official congratulatory table to the Manchus, he used the Hongzhi era name, but in private, he closed the door and became the emperor himself.
It's not that no one in the DPRK knows about such things, but it's just that ...... With the experience of Emperor Wen's expedition to Annan, it was just a matter of triggering it.
Miru said: "The ancestor of the Fang family entered Annan at the beginning to fight for Emperor Wen, but in the end he returned with a feather. Now, the state and county of Annan are also in constant friction with us in the prefectures and counties of the border towns of Guizhou, and the national disasters have been going on for many years, and the people are also suffering. Your father was preparing for that moment by promoting sweet potatoes and potatoes at all times. ”
Fang Jifan had to sigh that his father was still very ambitious.
Miru said: "This time I came to Beijing to pass on a message to you on behalf of your father, and some words are inconvenient to say in the letter." Sooner or later, there will be a conflict in Annan, and last time you wrote that there was a military book dedicated to training sailors, so please bring it with you. ”
Fang Jifan said: "This is a trivial matter, I will order someone to send it in a few days." ”
Daddy still trusts himself very much.
Fang Jifan thought for a while and said: "Your identity is a little different, you will enter the palace tomorrow, it is very likely to meet Your Majesty, Your Majesty still has doubts about you......"
Miru smiled confidently and said, "It's okay, I know how to cook." ”
This tone has the pride of a man.
…………
Fang Jifan's heart has been thinking about Annan, the old Fang family ...... There's a history.
Because there is a history, it is ...... It seems that there are many enemies, and many historical missions have been continued!
For example, the grandfather of Fang Jifan's grandfather had suffered a loss in Annan, because the emperor ordered to withdraw from Annan and re-admit Annan as a vassal state, the ancestor had to bring a group of old brothers who were stationed in Annan and had fought with Annan 'thieves' for several years.
For example, his grandfather's defeat in the Tumu Castle, and even how he came back, is still a mystery to this day.
The fate of the Fang family is one with the Ming Dynasty, and when the country was founded, the Fang family was as majestic as the Ming Dynasty, sweeping Mobei. During the Jing disaster, the Fang family hugged Emperor Wen's thigh, and he didn't let go of his death, earning an earl. When it came to the conquest of Annan, the Fang family led the troops to attack, fought to the death with the Annan people, and like countless nobles, they surrounded and suppressed the native traitors in the nearby mountains in Annan.
After that, Tumubao also suffered humiliation with the Ming Dynasty.
So it's not surprising that my father had this in mind.
Fang Jifan naturally supported Fang Jinglong, and soon sent someone to send a military letter.
In fact, the art of war of the Qi family army is widely used, not only limited to naval battles, many years after Qi Jiguang's death, this army served in Korea, defeating the Japanese army that invaded Korea. He was also in Liaodong, fighting a decisive battle with the Tatars, and still did not lose the true character of a strong army in a hundred battles.
After finishing these, except for occasionally using his fingers to milk the child, Fang Jifan was mindful of sorting the seeds brought by Xu Jing from the West.
There are hundreds of seeds, some of which Fang Jifan can name, and some can't.
Can ...... There was one thing, but Fang Jifan was surprised and delighted.
Was...... Corn.
Corn is also one of the most important staple foods in later generations.
This thing is best for growing in the south.
The biggest feature is that you don't have to work intensively or take care of it.
It is a must-have for lazy people, and its yield is not low.
Once it is popularized, the five major grain crops of sweet potato, potato, corn, rice, and wheat can be considered to be complete, which not only makes the diet of the entire Ming Dynasty richer, but also a lot of land that is not suitable for planting other crops can also be used. Especially in Liaodong and Inner Mongolia...... This corn can also be planted.
The most important thing is that this corn is rich in starch, which can not only be used as a staple food, but also can be used to make sugar, in Daming, sugar is very valuable, especially refined sugar, which is expensive.
Sugar, on the other hand, contains essential calories for the human body and is the main source of heat energy for the human body......
Seeing that the teacher was interested in this corn, Xu Jing was also very happy, and said with a smile: "Teacher, this is found in Java, and I don't know where the Francois people brought it, they seem to want to try to plant it in Java, so they brought a lot of grain seeds, I heard that the students are buying seeds with a lot of money, and many people have taken them to sell, and the students see that this thing is rare and can be eaten, so they bought a lot." ”
Fang Jifan had to look at the corn seeds like he saw a baby, and said happily: "Good job." ”
After he sorted the seeds, he then asked people to send them to Zhang Xin.
Now Zhang Xin has a very good understanding of crops, even Fang Jifan, except for a little pioneer experience, I am afraid that when it comes to farming, it is not worthy to carry shoes for Zhang Xin.
These corn seeds do not need to be explained, Fang Jifan is convinced that Zhang Xin can quickly plant them and analyze their characteristics.
And with this corn, then...... Liaodong and the desert are paired with potatoes, but I don't know what it will look like.
It's very exciting.
As for the other seeds, Fang Jifan actually didn't know much, after all, he was not a botanist, nor was he an agronomist, but he had just heard of the main crops with the experience of foodies in his previous life!
Let Zhang Xin try everything, maybe Fang Jifan can't tell the seeds, but once they bear fruit, Fang Jifan will still recognize them.
