Chapter 483: The Howling Tiger Man
Fang Jifan and Zhu Houzhao came out of the warm pavilion.
Zhu Houzhao was obviously a little impatient, and pulled Fang Jifan and said, "Old Fang, let's go to Ningbo." β
Fang Jifan shook his head and said, "No, I'm going to breastfeed." β
"......" Zhu Houzhao rolled up his sleeves and wanted to hit someone.
Fang Jifan pulled Zhu Houzhao with his backhand, but said suddenly: "Your Highness, you see how many ills there are in this world. β
Zhu Houzhao was silent for a moment, and then said: "There are countless of them." β
Fang Jifan nodded: "Yes, natural disasters are frequent everywhere, and the people of Annam close their doors and claim to be the Emperor of the South; The Japanese invaded the southeast coast; The Tatars repeatedly offended the border; There is also a group of Jurchens in Liaodong, who are actually very restless. Also, we have to go to the West and do a lot of things, but the minister asks you, can Your Highness manage these? β
Zhu Houzhao smiled and said, "Come here." β
This time it's Fang Jifan's turn to smoke him, uncle, I have to reason with you, you are here to raise the bar.
Fang Jifan had no choice but to say to himself: "I can't manage it." So we have to be calm, since the Zhenguo Government let Tang Yin, Hu Kaishan, and Qi Jingtong go to Ningbo, we can't doubt them, there is a sentence that the cannon and tears in their appointment will be finished; No, the minister means ......"
"What do you call a cannon?"
Fang Jifan kept a straight face and sneered: "It means that once a person does something and entrusts it to others, he must trust him unconditionally, just like Tang Yin and them, before they are cut into meat sauce by the Japanese invaders, His Royal Highness and his ministers must be convinced that they will succeed, otherwise everything must be done by His Royal Highness himself, and His Highness has no skills, what can he do?" β
Zhu Houzhao sighed: "If you don't go, you won't go, just be long-winded, where are you going?" β
Fang Jifan's footsteps were hurried: "It's really going to breastfeed." β
ββ¦β¦β
Zhu Houzhao pulled Fang Jifan again: "Our Zhenguo Mansion Water Division, what if the whole army is wiped out?" β
Fang Jifan didn't think about these problems without effort.
Fang Jifan said: "Your Highness is a person who wants to do big things, and the minister, it just so happens that there are more protΓ©gΓ©s. β
Zhu Houzhao was a little puzzled: "What do you mean?" β
Fang Jifan said: "Then call another protΓ©gΓ© to Ningbo to rebuild the water village, one does not succeed, it will be two, two will not succeed, it will be the third, if the minister's protΓ©gΓ© is not enough, the minister will also have apprentices and grandchildren, children and grandchildren, endlessly, do not suppress the Japanese Kou, never give up, until they are completely eradicated." β
Zhu Houzhao let out a breath and couldn't help but say, "How many disciples do you have?" β
Fang Jifan blinked and said, "It's really not clear." β
β¦β¦β¦β¦
Liu Ruyi returned home from the Empress Dowager, obviously this trip to the palace was quite smooth!
Fang Xiaofan didn't cry anymore, but it made the entire Fang Mansion quiet for a short time.
For Fang Jifan's special request before the emperor told him, the efficiency of the palace was very fast, and he really found a few women who listened to Mozart, no, were innocent, and had read books.
took ** from them first, and then put a little bit of sugar on it, and after stirring, he couldn't find the pacifier for a while, Fang Jifan even thought of the funnel, but he felt that the funnel was not successful, and he would choke, so he had to use a small spoon to carefully feed Fang Xiaofan.
Fang Xiaofan was obviously very proud, she seemed to feel that her crying had been richly rewarded, so she smiled very stingily, while eating **, she made a chirping sound, as if she was exercising her lung capacity and preparing for the next amazing cry.
Fang Jifan hugged the child and couldn't help but wonder, Tang Yin and they are really worrying, but I don't know how well they practiced, the effectiveness of this exercise is the most important thing to succeed.
After Liu Ruyi changed out of the costume he had entered the palace, he came quickly, took the child casually, glanced at Fang Jifan, but said, "You have something on your mind, right?" β
Fang Jifan was noncommittal!
Liu Ruyi said again: "Do you want to marry a daughter-in-law so much? β
"What?" These words were obviously a little sudden, Fang Jifan was a little confused, and he realized that what Liu Ruyi said turned out to be this.
Fang Jifan straightened his face: "I am a person who cares about the world, and I don't always have children's affection. β
Liu Ruyi glanced at Fang Jifan deeply, and didn't know if what Fang Jifan said was true or false, she smiled and said boldly: "Her Royal Highness Princess Taikang, I have seen it, what a beautiful woman, men love beauty, there is nothing to be ashamed of, let your father propose marriage to you, it will be successful, it will not be successful, if you are happy, elopement is." β
Fang Jifan was so frightened that his face turned green.
"Joking with you." Liu Ruyi smiled again: "For us natives, as long as the two are happy, there are not so many rules. Of course, it doesn't mean that your etiquette is bad, but etiquette can imprison people from doing harmful things, but why should they imprison the love between men and women? β
Fang Jifan felt that his mood was a little messy, and he couldn't imagine that he would have a stepmother one day, and then this stepmother would seriously discuss the issue of liberation with him.
Liu Ruyi chuckled, his eyes rolling: "Okay, it's just a joke." β
It turned out to be a joke, that's good, otherwise there will always be someone who instigates himself to elope, and he will really learn badly.
Liu Ruyi said with a straight face: "Actually, you don't have to have so many troubled things, I don't know why you are depressed." But you need to know that your father, who is far away from the world, really broke his heart for you. Do you really think that your father plotted to seize Annan to avenge his ancestors? β
Fang Jifan was surprised: "Isn't it again?" β
Liu Ruyi shook his head and said, "Your thoughts, your father will not understand?" You are jumping up and down in the middle of the court, all in preparation for going to the West, these are not clear to others, but your father is the most clear. If you think about it again, when Emperor Wen was emperor, he ordered Zheng He to go to the West, but why did Emperor Wen still find an excuse to send troops to Annan? β
"This is because Annam has a natural grain port, and it is on the side of Annam, if you communicate with the West from there, and even the extreme west, it is more convenient than Quanzhou and Ningbo. The withdrawal of the imperial court from Annam was not caused by the sea ban? Now that the imperial court is returning to the West, if Annam is a springboard, it will get twice the result with half the effort. β
Fang Jifan paused for a moment, and an answer came out of his heart, and said, "So my father ......"
Liu Ruyi stared at Fang Jifan: "Sometimes I'm really jealous of you, your father really tried his best for you, he didn't have to live long in this life, don't mind, this is what he said, he said it." Before you die, you always have to leave something for your children and grandchildren, and this Annan bento is a gift from him. This time, I entered Beijing on his orders, except to come to see you, that is, to leave the small domain here and entrust you to take care of it, because after I return to Guizhou, your father and I still have a lot of things to do, and it is not so easy to let the court learn from the pain, and it is not so easy to use troops against Annan. We are afraid that we will not be able to take care of this child, and I hope you can treat her well. β
Fang Jifan couldn't help but sniff, and suddenly missed his father again.
"Oh."
Fang Jifan can't cry, he is a strong person, he has never seen any strong winds and waves, at most, he just has sand in his eyes and wants to rub it.
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
The first light of dawn in the morning, with brilliance, scattered on the earth, also illuminated the sea outside Ningbo Water Village.
A ship, sparkling in the waves, slowly returned to the harbor.
It dragged the whale and landed on shore.
Countless businessmen and people on the shore have been waiting for a long time.
Immediately after, countless small barges went out to sea and dragged the whales ashore.
Not far away, there is a fish dock set up by several gentry in Ningbo, where whales and small yellow croakers are directly unloaded, and then countless hired laborers begin to work.
The sailors went to sea for two days, but one by one they disembarked in good spirits, ate a fragrant meal, and then rushed back to the barracks to rest in a good mood.
Tang Yin tiredly held a small meeting with Hu Kaishan and Qi Jingtong to review the gains and losses of this trip.
Then, they also went to rest.
Here in Ningbo Port, earth-shaking changes have already taken place.
Today, there are tens of thousands of people who make a living from fishing, and the gentry from top to bottom of Ningbo Mansion have all participated in the shares.
The stakes are too great. Shuizhai was responsible for going to sea to catch fish, and then directly resold it to the gentry and merchants at a lower price, and the gentry and merchants recruited people to build workshops to handle all the fish.
There are those who boil oil to make wax, those who marinate dried meat, and those who dehydrate and dry fish.
There are also quite a few people who are responsible for transportation, as well as those who are responsible for reselling.
Not only that, but the boats in the water village occasionally needed to be repaired, and some people took over the matter and recruited a group of craftsmen to repair them.
And shipbuilding, too, began to flourish.
Docks were set up one by one, some of them were responsible for the planks, some were making canvas and anchors, and some were ...... I just make rivets.
With huge profits comes a myriad of demands.
Tang Yin also got the news that a group of big cannibals and Francos would arrive here to take charge of shipbuilding.
The whole Ningbo port is already extremely prosperous, crowded with people, but your Ningbo Fucheng, but it is gradually declining.
After resting, the sailors were carried out, and then they heard Hu Kaishan's roar: "Drill!" β
The drill begins.
The people in the harbor have long been accustomed to the trumpets of the water village, they are all in good spirits, and they are rehearsing the three-talent formation again and again, and the shouting and killing sound that comes out from time to time goes straight to the sky.
Qi Jingtong admired this military book more and more, and restrained and trained officers and soldiers according to this military art, and the effect was remarkable.
Looking at these screaming men, all of them were extremely strong and murderous, and Qi Jingtong's heart was surging.
He ...... in his heart A thought suddenly came to me, there are no enemies...... It's really lonely.
I don't know when, I can find a little bit of a wolf to practice my hands!
