Chapter 416: Versatile Fang Jifan
Fang Jifan's impression of this Wu Jiang was that this person had colluded with the Japanese in history, but this was still the matter of his transfer to the Zhejiang Punishment Envoy.
However, the so-called collusion with the Japanese is also inaccurate.
To put it bluntly, the so-called Japanese Kou are just a group of southeastern families who collude with officials and businessmen in order to make huge profits from maritime trade.
Now this Wu Jiang is actually in office in Qingzhou Mansion.
So......
Although almost everyone thought that Wu Jiang was a good official, Fang Jifan disdained it.
He gently closed the music, pursed his lips, and then said: "Your Majesty, a person has such a good official reputation, but why, is he still serving as a magistrate?" β
"What" Emperor Hongzhi's eyes widened and he glanced at Fang Jifan in surprise.
Fang Jifan knew that Emperor Hongzhi was confused, so he explained it seriously.
"The minister thinks that there is a big problem with this Wu Jiang, and the people who know that he has a problem are not one or two, but from the official department to the local political envoys, almost everyone thinks that Wu Jiang is an honest official and a capable official. It stands to reason that such a talented person, who has been an official for many years, has sufficient qualifications in the local area, so why has no one promoted him? β
Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help but feel that there seemed to be some truth when he heard this, but he didn't immediately affirm Fang Jifan's statement, but frowned: "You go on." β
Fang Jifan naturally knew such a reason, and he couldn't convince Emperor Hongzhi, so he said solemnly.
"The only possibility is that there are many people who have benefited from Wujiang, or officials who protect each other, in short, no one wants to speak ill of Wujiang, not even the officials. But although everyone mentions this person because of interests, or for other reasons, everyone knows that the relationship with this person is too deep, and once this person has an incident, he will be held responsible. β
Fang Jifan secretly observed Emperor Hongzhi's face, and saw that there was no anger in his face, so he continued.
"Therefore, he has been in the locality, from this county to this county, from this province, to this province...... Otherwise, with this person's qualifications and official reputation, he would have already entered the court, this Wu Jiang, please Your Majesty to investigate thoroughly, and find out his details, the minister is convinced that His Majesty will have an unexpected harvest at that time. β
"......" Emperor Hongzhi was silent, his face full of astonishment.
He couldn't imagine that a person who was praising from top to bottom was actually a giant traitor, which was unacceptable to Emperor Hongzhi.
Emperor Hongzhi glanced at Zhu Houzhao and then at Fang Jifan, and then said lightly: "I have ordered the factory guard to investigate thoroughly, I hope that the result is not what you say." β
He immediately glanced at Zhu Houzhao, with just one piece of music, you can know the secret behind the song?
That seems unlikely.
Emperor Hongzhi raised his eyebrows, but the next moment he was silent.
"Well, where did you just go, yes, Zhenguo Mansion, Zhenguo Mansion, let's build it, since the prince wants to do something, then do something, but ......" Emperor Hongzhi had a deep meaning in his eyes: "The Zhenguo Mansion is built, the prince must go there on time to be on duty, otherwise, I will be abolished immediately." β
I thought that His Majesty hoped that the prince could really be alone, but it turned out that he still had the intention of using a town and state mansion to trap the prince, if the prince was like an ordinary official, he also needed to be on duty on time every day, even if he wanted to run, where else could he run?
Zhu Houzhao said: "The sons obey the order. β
Coming out of the palace, Zhu Houzhao sighed, glanced at Fang Jifan, and said excitedly: "You can also see that there is something wrong with that Wu Jiang." β
Fang Jifan nodded heavily.
"There's a big problem, I can't imagine that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can also see it?"
Zhu Houzhao smiled happily, his face was full of pride: "What kind of person is this palace, hum." β
Fang Jifan thought about it for a while, and did not continue the topic of Wujiang, but said with a smile: "By the way, His Royal Highness the Prince, the ministers have been going to Xishan for the past few days, but I am afraid that I will not be able to go to Xishan." β
"Why?"
Fang Jifan could already faintly see that a fish was starting to take the bait.
Looking at Zhu Houzhao, who was excited and excited, Fang Jifan said: "The minister is studying and making something delicious." β
"Beef?"
Fang Jifan shook his head.
"It's the same as killing dolphins?" Zhu Houzhao asked.
Fang Jifan shook his head again.
Thinking that Fang Jifan was going to make delicious food again, Zhu Houzhao was overjoyed.
"Then you have to let this palace take a look, go to your house, this dare is good, it's decided, this palace will come early tomorrow morning, this first bite, you have to let this palace eat, otherwise this palace will go to tell my father that you tied this palace to Lingqiu."
Threaten me!
Will our successor be afraid of your threat? Hum! Well, you win!
Fang Jifan is not a particularly principled person, or rather, his bottom line is still a little flexible, as long as he does not touch his fundamental bottom line, many times, especially in front of Zhu Houzhao, Fang Jifan only shrugged his shoulders.
Early the next morning, Fang Jifan began to cook food.
In the Fang family's kitchen, many cooks and helpers were kicked out.
Wang Shouren looked at his teacher speechlessly, and they all returned to Beijing, but in the Hanlin Courtyard, let them rest for two days and then go to duty.
So, when they looked at their mentor's gearing up, they suddenly had a sense of illusion.
What does your mentor do?
Tang Yin rolled up his sleeves and wanted to help.
Ouyang Zhi can't count on it, like a retarded person, cooking is delicate work, and the requirements for heat are very high, if this guy is a beat slower, what if this kitchen catches fire?
Zhu Houzhao looked at Fang Jifan, who was busy on the side, and couldn't help asking, "What should this palace do?" β
"Eat." Fang Jifan Road.
"Oh." Zhu Houzhao nodded.
The ingredients have long been prepared, eggs, indescribable extrusions of cow, fruits, honey, oil, flour and so on.
Then, Fang Jifan began to tinker, breaking the eggs, stirring, and then adding the indescribable extrusion of the cow, honey, oil, and flour, and stirring them all evenly, and in an instant, it was like some kind of indescribable liquid was enough to have a pot.
Of course, the most important of these is fresh yeast.
At this time, it was still the Ming Dynasty, but there were no steamed buns, only steamed cakes.
There is not much difference between steamed cakes and steamed bread, they are all kneaded noodles and put them in a steamer to steam, but the only difference between steamed bread is the appearance of fresh yeast.
The production method of this fresh yeast is very simple, but it is just fermented with sweet potatoes, and the yeast is cultivated, and with this thing, it is added to the flour to make this mixture of eggs, honey, and the indescribable extrusion of the cow swell up during the cooking process, causing a fluffy feeling.
This fresh yeast was specially cultivated by Fang Jifan, and with this thing, the foundation of this pastry is also there.
Fang Jifan carefully put the fresh yeast in, and he was ready to cultivate more and use it in the farmhouse in Xishan, which was a big killer.
Everything was ready, put the flour mixture into a round wooden mold, put it in the steamer, and let Tang Yin light the fire.
"What's this, egg steamed cakes, why do you want to put honey? Hongu doesn't like to eat sweets. Zhu Houzhao frowned and said.
Fang Jifan glanced at him and said impatiently: "Who said that you ate it for yourself?" β
Zhu Houzhao was half dead in anger, and asked very unconvinced: "Who is it for?" β
"Myself." Fang Jifan said with a smile.
On the other side, Fang Jifan proposed an ice wooden barrel, obviously, it was made out of the ice cellar, and when it was opened, a sweet smell overflowed.
"What's this?"
"Don't say." Fang Jifan wanted to tell him that this was cream, but it was really indescribable, it was too imaginative.
The way the cream is made is very simple, just milk storage, lemon and butter.
Of course, it takes some work.
This West Mountain is a treasure land, with everything, this is Fang Jifan's own territory, with how to toss.
This bucket of cream was taken in an ice cellar and was still cold.
I'm almost done.
Behind him, Wang Shouren and the others looked at their teacher one by one, all speechless.
Fang Jifan took a rag and rubbed his hands, and said, "Now you know, what is the teacher teaching you?" β
"Governing a big country is like cooking a small fresh?" Wang Shouren thought for a while.
Fang Jifan shook his head: "That's not right. β
Tang Yin shook his head: "Knowledge and action are one, the people take food as the sky, and they don't know how to cook, how to govern the people?" β
"Not really."
Zhu Houzhao bared his teeth and smiled: "Cook." β
"That's right." Fang Jifan looked at Zhu Houzhao appreciatively, and said to Ouyang Zhi and the others: "The teacher is an upright person, where is there so much truth to teach you, cooking is cooking, will the teacher pretend to be advanced because of this cooking?" No! Being a teacher is not that kind of person, the most hated thing for a teacher is those who are pretentious, such a person, the most annoying, you remember, in the future, treat your own protΓ©gΓ©s, you must also be as honest as a teacher, why not? Only sincerity can break the hypocrisy of the world, only truth can break the hypocrisy of the world, we are a man, integrity-based, and we must not learn from some people, and act coyly. β
Wang Shouren and the others felt a pang in their hearts.
Another vivid lesson.
Everyone saluted: "The disciple is taught." β
Only Ouyang Zhi was silent for a moment: "The teacher's teachings will never be forgotten." β
Fang Jifan glanced at Ouyang Zhi, and finally knew why some people admired him so much, those old cadres said a word casually, and the young people who were a little clever scrambled to say yes one by one.
The old cadres have never seen anything in the world, and these young people who are scrambling to be the first, no matter how quickly they respond, they also feel that this is a matter of course, but they feel that these people are too sycophant and annoying without thinking.
On the contrary, Ouyang Zhi's reaction was a beat slower than others, and when they finished speaking, he said, in this way, he gave people a deep impression; And when he saw it, he chewed on the words of others for a while, which gave people a very real feeling, and finally he was neither humble nor arrogant, and the disciple was taught, perfect!
