Chapter 509: If you have military merits, you will be crowned a marquis

For the people of the border towns, the fear from the Tatars is really memorable.

Fang Jifan proposed to use balloons to fight, of course, the meaning of the battle is not much, but it is like the harassment of the Tatar rangers.

But the point is that this balloon can be used as an observation and as an early warning.

Emperor Hongzhi was shocked by this balloon and was moved: "I will order the military department, take a good look at it, and draft a charter." ”

Fang Jifan said: "In addition, this balloon has many uses, such as ...... Sightseeing ......"

"Sightseeing ......" Hongji was stunned.

Fang Jifan said: "The world is so big, who doesn't want to see the whole picture, so people climb the peak and look into the distance." But this is too troublesome, on the balloon, a stick of incense time, people will go to the heights, the rivers in the world, how beautiful, see it, more knowledge. ”

Emperor Hongzhi was happy and said with emotion: "What Qing said is right, if I am not the Son of Heaven, if I ascend it, it will inevitably cause countless people to worry, and I also want to go up and have a look." ”

Fang Jifan said: "The so-called use of things, the minister is still pondering, what is the use of this balloon." ”

Emperor Hongzhi suddenly remembered something: "I still don't understand, why, this balloon can fly?" ”

Fang Jifan said: "Your Majesty, can you see the flow of water?"

Emperor Hongji was silent.

Fang Jifan said: "When this water flows, it will produce strength, so that the boat can go down the water on it." And this balloon, borrowed from the gas, is hot gas, gunpowder burning, it produces a lot of heat, ordinary, we can't see or touch them, and we don't think they are of any use, just like, when we make tea, the lid of the pot will be lifted off because of the heat of the hot tea, as long as I know so well, it can produce a kind of force, then it's simple, just think, how to collect it, it can naturally be used by me. In the minister's view, this balloon is no different from a boat, as long as it can be used by the minister. ”

Emperor Hongzhi glanced at Xiao Jing hesitantly: "Xiao companion, boiling water, can you lift the lid away?" ”

"......" Fang Jifan was a little confused.

Xiao Jing said: "Yes, Your Majesty. ”

Emperor Hongzhi said with emotion: "Everything in the world can be used for use, I am ...... today It's teachable. ”

"Oh, there is one more thing ......" Emperor Hongzhi said: "Fang Qing's family, I have made an order, from today on, Fang Xiaofan, the sister of the Qing family, will be brought into the palace to raise, your stepmother, has gone to Guizhou, this child is too young, you are a man, take it all day long, some idle, you can rest assured, Kunning Palace will take care of her properly, you want to come to see people, just take care of yourself into the palace." ”

Fang Jifan: "......"

Shouldn't I show a sad face?

But if you think about it, this seems to be a good choice, someone has to raise a child for their father, why not? Moreover, the person who raised her was still royal, Fang Jifan couldn't help but say: "Xiao Fan sleeps at night, and if he wants someone to accompany him, he needs to eat milk at any time; In addition, she has a bad temper and must not be pinched in the face, she doesn't like people to pinch her face. And when she pees, she needs to sing, she loves to listen to songs, minister...... Come and sing it, can Your Majesty help me remember it? ”

"......" Emperor Hongzhi felt that this guy was too long-winded.

After thinking about it, this is a great hero: "You say it." ”

Fang Jifan cleared his throat, a little embarrassed: "Two tigers run fast, run fast, one has no eyes, the other has no ears, it's strange, it's strange......"

“……”

Emperor Hongzhi glared at Fang Jifan, and Fang Jifan wanted to die in shame.

But Fang Jifan really ...... I love to listen to this song, if you really enter the palace and enter a strange environment, you will definitely be uncomfortable, if there is no familiar voice, she doesn't know how scared she is.

The Empress Dowager sat aside, at first she was still listening to Emperor Hongzhi and Fang Jifan's ministers playing against each other, talking about Tatar, she was not good at interjecting, but as a result, she actually sang as she spoke, and the Empress Dowager looked at Fang Jifan, Zhou Lahaha smiled: "This song is good, I also like to listen to it, I am singing it again." ”

At this time, the balloon has slowly begun to fall, in the air, slowly floating down, Yang Biao began to lower the iron anchor, the iron anchor clanged, directly crushed a few bricks, and then, the iron anchor's hook was directly embedded in the drilled soil, Yang Biao began to extinguish the fire in the valve, the rattan basket slowly descended, and finally landed.

When Liu Jin turned out of this basket, he felt that his legs were stepping on cotton, his eyes were blank, and his mouth was chewing on dried meat repeatedly.

Zhu Houzhao rushed up excitedly: "Liu Banban, is it fun in the sky?" Is it fun? Haha......"

Liu Jin finally came back to his senses and cried again: "Your Highness, slave maid...... The slave is so afraid. ”

But a eunuch stepped forward and said to Yang Biao: "Your Majesty summons me." ”

When Yang Biao was in the sky, it was really arrogant, and when he heard His Majesty's summons, he, a rough man who had never seen anything in the world, suddenly became nervous, and suddenly the obedient kitten was so frightened that he didn't dare to come out in front of Emperor Hongzhi.

Zhou La said: "This time, not only thank Xinjian for saving his life, but Shen Ao and Yang Biao are also indispensable. ”

Emperor Hongzhi looked at Shen Ao, and then at Yang Biao: "Shen Qing's family, there will be no reward for the time being, and in the future, it will be a family." ”

He glanced at Shen Ao meaningfully, and then glanced at Yang Biao solemnly: "Yang Qing's family is so hardworking, I am very relieved, since it is indispensable, give a hereditary thousand households, and find a hundred households in the Tuntian Institute to give you a job." ”

Fang Jifan regretted in his heart, what a pity.

In fact, such a great achievement, even if you give a knighthood, it is possible.

However, Yang Biao's luck is not very good, even if it is a great merit, but it is not easy to be knighted in the Ming Dynasty, Yang Biao's merit is great, but he is neither a relative of the emperor nor a relative of the country, and he has not killed an enemy, he knew it early, and he bragged about it, saying that he killed seven in and seven out among the Tatars, and beheaded hundreds, well...... That's almost, that's enough to be knighted. Anyway, no one can verify this kind of nonsense.

But Yang Biao was excited, and he had thousands of hereditary households...... This is an iron rice bowl, in fact, the hereditary thousand households of the Ming Dynasty have actually been flooded, if there is no real military position, eight or nine times out of ten, that is, just receive a few more rations, but Yang Biao is still excited with tears: "My mother said, a good man is not a soldier, the emperor gave me a thousand households, I am grateful, I will serve the emperor in the future, born and died, and never frown." ”

"......" Emperor Hongzhi smiled: "Manipulate your flying ball well, in the future, it will be of great use." ”

Emperor Hongzhi glanced at Fang Jifan and said, "Fang Jifan also has great merits, such great merits, he should have been knighted, I am not a stingy person...... It's just a pity...... According to the system of the ancestors, those who have not beheaded thieves or captives shall not be judged, and if they are wronged and wronged you, I will give you 200,000 gold. ”

"......" Fang Jifan was a little confused, 200,000 gold...... 200,000 gold...... In fact, it is 200,000 copper coins, calculated in terms of 1,000 coins and more than 1,000 taels of silver, approximately, it is two or three hundred taels of silver, and the general Ming Inner Court gives gold, which is to be converted, what is converted into Daming treasure banknotes, and the Daming treasure banknotes are depreciated greatly, the two hundred taels of silver in value, if they can be exchanged for fifty taels of silver, Fang Jifan has to rely on his usual prestige, otherwise, no one is willing to change it.

Fang Jifan took a deep breath: "Forget it, the minister serves His Majesty, it is completely from the bottom of his heart, is the minister the one who dies for His Majesty's reward?" Your Majesty looks down on the ministers too much, the ministers are not people who value fame and fortune so much, Your Majesty gives you generously, and the ministers never dare to accept it. ”

Emperor Hongzhi looked at Fang Jifan deeply and smiled: "You must be thinking in your heart, why am I so stingy?" ”

"Don't dare, Your Majesty is already very generous." Fang Jifan blinked, trying to make himself sincere, for fear that Emperor Hongzhi would not believe it: "Really." ”

Emperor Hongzhi smiled: "Eh, in such a big world, you can't pet one person, you have made great contributions, the Fang family is full of loyalty, I naturally know that this time, it is indeed not a military merit...... I can't do anything, there are no rules, and I can't form a circle. ”

Shen Wen, who has been on the side and has been silent, can understand His Majesty's thoughts very well.

Sooner or later, Fang Jifan was going to soar into the sky.

But His Majesty is reluctant to show him too much Enlong, this is because, since Fang Jifan became a Shaozhan matter, His Majesty has already made a plan to let Fang Jifan assist His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in the future.

As a king, the most embarrassing thing is that there is no reward.

Of course, Shen Wen didn't say anything, he pretended to be dead and made a fortune in a muffled voice.

's own daughter, but she is about to enter the East Palace, His Royal Highness the Prince...... Actually, it's still very good, of course, it's just a little stubborn, but so what, in the future...... The Shen family also wants to produce a queen.

That's it......... Shen Ao's trip to life and death is worth it.

He couldn't help but glance at Fang Jifan gratefully, now that he thought about it afterwards, without Fang Jifan, there was really nothing in the Shen family, Shen Ao, this kid, was really blessed.

Emperor Hongzhi did not forget to encourage Fang Jifan: "The Qing family can rest assured, as long as the Qing family has military merits, I will definitely be rewarded!" ”

This time, he promised a lot.

After all...... Is this just a promise?

Where is Fang Jifan, looking for military merit?

Do you want to go back to Shanhaiguan again and slaughter a few Tatars?

This is simply an insult to one's own intelligence.

Fang Jifan's mentality is very good, if he doesn't give it, he won't give it, go back and instigate the prince to carve a chapter, of course, you can't obviously instigate the prince, you need to knock on the side, don't say it's a wait, the duke and my Jifan also deserve it.

Fang Jifan looked at Zhou La with a blank eye, as if to say, surnamed Zhou, do you have anything to say?

Zhou La looked at Fang Jifan's resentful eyes and wanted to say something, but he didn't say anything, but he was scared, lowered his head, and pretended not to see anything.

This ungrateful thing!

Fang Jifan's heart was itching with hatred.
