Chapter 226: Great Contribution to the Dynasty
Emperor Hongzhi is a person who really cares about the people of the world, which is why he attaches so much importance to food.
Now that the appearance of sweet potatoes can play such a big role, why is he not excited?
I saw that he suddenly laughed, and his face was happy!
With this sweet potato, there is no need to worry about natural disasters, what if natural disasters come, the output of grain can be increased enough, if not thirty times, then at least ten times.
What's more, when Fang Jifan said that in fact, even if this sweet potato is in the mountains, it can be cultivated and cultivated, which made Emperor Hongzhi's eyes shine even more.
In this way, the place where the grain should be grown can still be grown, and the land that could not be grown in the past, or the ordinary poor land, can be used to grow the sweet potato.
No one knows the value of this thing better than Emperor Hongji.
Potato leaves can be used as vegetables to eat, fruits can be used to satisfy hunger, and animals can be fed, but where do ordinary small families dare to raise animals, this beast has a mouth, and the rations of a few people.
All of a sudden, the question of the monarchs and ministers arguing together seemed to disappear all of a sudden.
The dispute between the military department and the household department over food, and how the provinces urgently transferred grain to Beijing, these were originally big things, but because of this small sweet potato, at least for the time being, when the population did not grow sharply, everything was ...... It's become a small thing, and it can't be smaller.
At this time, Emperor Hongzhi's face was straight, he pointed to the sweet potato, and said resolutely: "Spread the decree, sweet potatoes are listed as tribute, and Xishan will send 5,000 catties into the palace every year." ”
Call......
The ministers boiled.
Your Majesty's attitude is self-evident, this sweet potato must not taste bad, Your Majesty likes it very much.
"This thing...... Can it be generalized? Emperor Hongzhi stared at Fang Jifan deadly.
Fang Jifan said categorically: "Originally...... No......"
This sentence made Emperor Hongzhi want to beat people, halfway through the words, looking for death?
Fang Jifan continued: "At least it was originally difficult, the minister's expectation was that without ten or twenty years of work, it would not be easy to promote it. But...... Zhang Xin, deputy Baihu, as well as Yang Da and Zhang Biao, chief flag officers, and Zhu Zheng, Zeng Jian, Chen Xin, and lieutenants Wang Yan and Deng Jie, as well as small flag officers, ...... Lux Chen Tao, Zhou Wu ......"
Fang Jifan was not in a hurry, and reported one name after another, there were a total of seventy-three people in the hundred households, and he remembered each name, with his good memory, he almost didn't pull down a person: "With their cooperation, the minister can already guarantee that there is absolutely no problem, and the Tuntian Institute will try its best to assist the local government to promote and try to plant." ”
Emperor Hongzhi also listened patiently, his face flushed with excitement, and at the same time secretly wrote down the names one by one.
looked up again and looked at Zhang Xin and the others in rags.
How could Zhang Xin and the others not understand that this was Fang Baihu deliberately asking for credit for himself and others? If Fang Baihu wants to take the credit on himself, in fact, no one has anything to say, Ming officialdom, isn't this rule? No matter how much you sweat and bleed, no matter how hard you try, the credit is not yours of course. Shangguan can leave some meat foam from between his fingernails for you, which is already a conscience.
But Fang Jifan named their names one by one in front of His Majesty, which clearly showed that Lord Baihu deliberately asked for credit for them in front of His Majesty.
What can not be promoted without them for ten or twenty years, others don't know, but the whole Tuntian Institute knows in their hearts that without them, others can do it, they are just lucky to follow the hundred households.
Seeing that Emperor Hongzhi looked at them, Zhang Xin and the others were so excited that they didn't know what to do, and they bowed down one after another and said: "Your Majesty, this is all the credit of Fang Baihu, and the inferior people dare not take credit." ”
Liu Jian stood aside, he couldn't help but be shocked, he stared at Fang Jifan, at this time, he didn't quite understand, this guy ...... Virtue is not bad, didn't they all say that he lacked virtue before?
British Gong Zhang Mao looked at this scene, and his heart was even more turbulent, he glanced at Fang Jifan deeply, but saw that Fang Jifan was still the same as if he was not dead, and he was very bad! It's just that although he still has this expression, Zhang Mao faintly felt that there was a faint circle of holy light above Fang Jifan's head.
Kind!
Emperor Hongzhi was already ecstatic in his heart, to be honest, even if he danced now, he felt that it was a normal thing!
Desperately suppressing the excitement in his heart, Emperor Hongzhi glanced at Fang Jifan meaningfully, and said, "So, they are the first merit?" ”
"Chen is an honest person, so they are indeed the first credit, as for Weichen, in the process of planting and cultivating sweet potatoes, in fact, he didn't make much effort."
If it were someone else, of course, he was anxious to exaggerate his merits to the emperor. But Fang Jifan knows very well that this credit is very great, enough to accommodate everyone to be wet with rain and dew, in this case, it is better to show the personality charm of this young master.
Naturally, what Fang Jifan said was not completely unreasonable, without Zhang Xin's efforts, it would be impossible for this sweet potato to be offered today.
"......Huh" Emperor Hongzhi stood up, paced back and forth with his hands behind his back, and he suddenly said excitedly: "Ancestor bless." ”
“……”
"Message!" After the blessing of the ancestors, Emperor Hongzhi said categorically: "Yulin Wei Tuntian 100 households, promoted to Tuntian 1000 households, Fang Jifan is 1000 households, Zhang Xin is the deputy, and the rest of the people are each exceptionally added to the official level." Zhang Xin assisted Fang Jifan to have great merit, this merit is no less than killing thieves, he is Fengcheng Bo, the chief flag officer Yang Da, Zhang Biao, hereditary thousand households, and the rest of the people, etc., are also rewarded according to the routine, among these people, there are wives, the one who should give the order to the order, the life of the order, in addition, build a stone workshop in the West Mountain, express their merits! ”
Zhang Xinyi.
Even he didn't expect that he would be directly entitled like this.
This is a hereditary title, which can be passed down from generation to generation and will last forever. He is the youngest son of the Duke of England, and it stands to reason that he cannot inherit the title, although he can always be an official by relying on his father's shadow, but for several generations, he will be nothing.
Farming...... actually planted an earl, if this is in the past, I'm afraid that no one will believe it, right?
Zhang Xinxin was excited, and no matter how bitter he was, he seemed to have been rewarded all at once, he bowed down directly, and choked up: "Minister...... Thank you, Your Majesty. ”
The rest of the people also bowed down, some even cried directly, these days, suffered a lot, I thought I was sent to Xishan, it was unlucky, who knew that in the blink of an eye, everyone added officials to the knighthood, and even the children and grandchildren in the future have a shade.
Zhang Mao was even more ecstatic, there was another earl in the family, the Zhang family...... Fortunately, it seems that all of a sudden, the stubborn disease that has been pressing on my heart for so many years has been swept away all at once.
He glanced at Fang Jifan gratefully, why didn't he understand at this time? Without Fang Jifan, his son is afraid that he will not want to make a big difference in his life.
At this time, Emperor Hongzhi looked at Fang Jifan and said: "Fang Jifan, what reward do you want, even if you say it, I have nothing to do." ”
...... "What do I want?"
I want to be crowned, but I don't dare to say it......
Fang Jifan held the words in his heart, very uncomfortable, coughed, and said: "Your Majesty, the ministers have received the grace of the country, and have been made a thousand households by Your Majesty, and they are already grateful, and the grace of heaven is mighty, where do you dare to ask for a reward." ”
This is a bit against the heart, so the heart is a little painful......
"Oh." I saw Emperor Hongzhi with his hands behind his back and said: "Since you are so high-spirited and bright, then pass on my will and set up a stone workshop for Fang Jifan, and praise his achievements, so that his reputation will be passed down for generations." ”
“……”
Stone...... Fang.
Fang Jifan cried.
The so-called stone square, in fact, and the archway is similar, the average woman, if it is chastity, famous all over the world, so the court or the government will often order to build the archway for the table, this archway is glamorous, standing in the most conspicuous place in front of the house, the top is engraved how the woman keeps the deeds of chastity, calling on everyone to learn.
And Shifang is aimed at men, such as Fang Jifan, the imperial court will specially order Hanlin to write an article on the table, and then build a big sign on the face of the Fang family, which is bound to be dazzling, so that all people passing by will inevitably praise it.
Fang Jifan even thought of the topic of praise from passers-by: "This is the stupid X who doesn't want to be rewarded, and the high wind is bright, so the court is particularly good." ”
Fang Jifan raised his eyes and couldn't help but look at Emperor Hongzhi with resentment.
Emperor Hongzhi looked meaningful, and then said: "If you let it go in advance, how can I treat you badly?" ”
Fang Jifan breathed a sigh of relief at this time, Your Majesty, you have to be kind.
But at this moment, someone said: "Minister...... Congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty, what the ministers should congratulate even more is that there are thousands of Li people in this world, with this sweet potato, the army and the people in this world, blessed ......"
Speaking...... Crying.
Everyone looked.
Isn't it Liu Daxia who just scolded the British public Zhang Mao?
Liu Daxia is a gentleman, so he congratulated him first, and then mentioned the people of Limin, and then there was a big cry, and countless tears really fell, and suddenly ...... Everyone was in awe!
Although Liu Daxia is only a member of the Ministry of War, his moral character is noble and his preference for the people in his heart is really comparable to ordinary people.
Sure enough, he deserves to be a gentleman.
It's just that when he cried, Fang Jifan couldn't help but feel a little disgusted.
How to say it, it's nothing to pretend to be forced, but if there is nothing to do, the poor people will be pulled out, and then they will cry and howl, how pitiful these people are, they are already poor, you are a special official, and people have not eaten your rice, but they are hung out of your mouth every day, where is this heart of what military and civilian people, this is by you every day with your mouth to whip the corpse.
The brothers of Tuntiansuo, for the sake of sweet potatoes, all get up early and are greedy for darkness, tired and tired, but do they pretend to be like this every day?
Gentleman...... Phew!
Fang Jifan squinted his eyes and sneered in his heart......
If I don't kill you hypocrite today, I won't be surnamed Fang.
