Zhu Houzhao is not stupid, on the contrary, he is an extremely smart person.

It's just that this cleverness is used in a place where the monarchs and ministers of the Manchu Dynasty don't really want him to use it.

Regarding his father's words, Zhu Houzhao would be very cooperative and busy: "Erchen knows." ”

It's just that when he spoke, the moment he raised his eyebrows, Fang Jifan couldn't be clearer, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was perfunctory again.

But...... turned into a Shao Zhan thing, Fang Jifan was a little surprised, in other words, this is also half of Zhu Houzhao's teacher!

Yang Tinghe's assistant? Wang Hua's colleague?

Emperor Hongzhi sat back in the imperial case, took a deep breath, and then began to say again: "As for the reward related to Nan Hebo, I feel that what the prince said is not unreasonable, just follow the prince's words, and the military department still has to draw up a charter." ”

This victory, the solution is the burning trouble, the Ming Dynasty is now like a state affair, Emperor Hongzhi is really unwilling to continue to put too much mind on the distant Guizhou.

He pondered for a moment, but then said: "I originally wanted to bring all the traitors into Beijing, but since I entrusted the military and political affairs of Guizhou to the Fang Qing family, then let the Fang Qing family deal with it themselves." ”

After Emperor Hongzhi finished making a decision, he lowered his head: "Ma Qing's family stayed, I want to ask you about shipbuilding." ”

Fang Jifan and Zhu Houzhao got up and quit with interest.

Coming out of the warm pavilion, Zhu Houzhao sighed melancholy, looked up at the sky, muttered for a long time, and couldn't help but say faintly: "Old Fang, what kind of person is your father?" ”

"What?" Fang Jifan didn't expect Zhu Houzhao to ask such a question.

Zhu Houzhao sighed and said: "Actually, being a Nanhe uncle is not necessarily a bad thing." ”

Fang Jifan understood, thought for a while and said, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince...... Have you ever wondered why Your Majesty and the elders treat you like a child, and never let you do a real thing? ”

Zhu Houzhao hesitated: "Why?" ”

Fang Jifan raised his head to the sky, revealing a bit of arrogance: "This is the role of Shao Zhan's affairs." ”

Zhu Houzhao was interested.

Over the years, he has been really aggrieved, especially in the past two years, and the days have become more and more unbearable, so he reached out and pretended to pinch Fang Jifan's neck.

Fang Jifan suddenly put on a stern look and said, "Your Highness must remember to respect the teacher. ”

Zhu Houzhao is like this, there is no difference between him and the Ming Wuzong in history, although he is usually stubborn and reprimanded by hundreds of officials, but he just laughed and didn't care, probably because he also knew some truth in his heart, but ...... But like a child, he will never make mistakes easily.

"Listen to me slowly." Fang Jifan said solemnly: "Your Highness has always had your own ideas, and Your Highness's ability is by no means comparable to ordinary people, just like what Your Highness said today, it is very reasonable, but why does Your Highness still think that Your Highness is not very reliable?" ”

Zhu Houzhao thought about it really seriously, but after thinking about it for a long time, he still couldn't think of a reason, and he was angry: "Yes, why, you say it quickly." ”

"Your Highness, think about it, even if you sell mutton, you still know that it is very indecent to cut this mutton and sell it to people, and you have to wrap it in lotus leaves.

Zhu Houzhao frowned, and said suspiciously: "What is sales?" ”

Fang Jifan thought hard: "It's like the last time we sold melons." ”

At this time, Zhu Houzhao understood: "It's obviously a hanging planted by the main palace in the East Palace, but it has to be said that it is planted in the West Mountain of this heavenly spirit treasure?" ”

Fang Jifan nodded with a little relief: "So the most important thing for Your Highness is to change your image, just like a minister, why can you please Your Majesty." ”

"You're a honey confidant!" Zhu Houzhao said without hesitation, despising Fang Jifan's 'unkindness'.

Fang Jifan didn't bother to continue the in-depth discussion with him: "So, does Your Highness want to learn a hand?" ”

"Yes!" Zhu Houzhao didn't hesitate, and said resolutely: "This palace must impress my father, otherwise it will be difficult to sleep and eat." ”

Fang Jifan smiled and said, "This is easy to do, it will be the Mid-Autumn Festival in a few days, several of the minister's protégés are just resting, the minister is going to take them to Xishan to study, and His Royal Highness will also come with him." ”

made an agreement with Zhu Houzhao, thinking to myself, Zhu Houzhao actually ...... It's not so unbearable, but why, whether it's him in history or what he sees in front of him, he always gives people the feeling of a bear child?

After all, it's because of improper discipline, so ......

He Fang Jifan is a responsible person, and now that he has become Shao Zhan, it is naturally his duty to educate the prince.

After saying goodbye to Zhu Houzhao, Fang Jifan knew that his father had made meritorious contributions, and his mood was relaxed, so he went to Xishan leisurely.

Zhang Xin is in the greenhouse, and he has cultivated potatoes.

The young shoots are planted in the greenhouse, which looks very vibrant.

The temperature in the greenhouse is different, and Zhang Xin needs to use different humidity and different temperatures of the land to record the different growth of potatoes in different environments.

His greenhouse is not allowed to be easily accessed by ordinary people, so most of the things are done by him alone, he carries a bamboo basket on his back, which is filled with all kinds of bamboo pieces, much like the bamboo slips that were not woven in the Qin and Han dynasties.

Today he seemed to be in high spirits, and saw that Fang Jifan had also entered the greenhouse, squatting on the side, carefully observing the fresh young leaves growing in the mud.

Zhang Xin raised his head, and the DPRK succeeded the feudal family.

"Laughing at what?" Fang Jifan was confused.

Zhang Xin's eyes seemed to be smiling, and said, "My wife is back, and the Zhou Wangfu sent someone to carry eight sedan chairs to send it back." ”

"What a force." Fang Jifan said with disdain.

Zhang Xin thought for a while and said: "This is the reason why I don't want to be an official, I don't want to be a general, I'd rather fiddle with these crops to be comfortable, you look at them, they don't have a lot of sophistication and favors, but they can feed countless people." Thousands of households, in the greenhouse, many things are growing faster, at the end of the year, it is expected that there will be a harvest, to the spring of the next year, you can get an acre, then you can have a variety of some, but this thing breeding, more troublesome than sweet potatoes, can not graft vine seedlings, have to cut them into blocks and wait for them to germinate, it ...... Can you really eat it? ”

"Yes!" Fang Jifan nodded very seriously and said: "Not only can it be eaten, but it is better than sweet potatoes, and it can replace the staple food." ”

Zhang Xin's face was happy, he naturally believed in Fang Jifan.

He replied, seemed to start observing again, and soon forgot the existence of Fang Jifan beside him, took out the bamboo slip in a daze, and began to record the data.

After a long time, he remembered something, and subconsciously said: "Qianhu, you have to take care of those bear children, they are messing around all day long, if they destroy this greenhouse, it will be bad." ”

It's just that I felt that there was no movement around me for a long time, and when I looked back, I found that the greenhouse was empty, and Qianhu didn't know where to go.

The whole West Mountain, has been renewed, more and more brick houses along the foot of the mountain to build, popular, many roads that did not have before were stepped out, criss-crossed, in order to prevent the road slippery in rainy days, people sprinkled large and small stones on the road opened up, so that a kind of primitive roadbed was formed criss-crossed.

In the distance, there are patches of greenhouses.

Smoke billows from the chimneys of the glass workshop.

Settlements formed spontaneously by people began to take shape.

Some large mansions also appeared, such as new schools, and an inn also sprung up.

Because there was glass and anthracite, naturally, merchants with mules and horses came to buy it in large quantities, and anthracite began to be supplied not only to Jingshi, but also began to discover that the use of glass was not limited to greenhouses.

When the merchants come, they need to rest, the business of the inn is not bad, and even the restaurant on one side of the business is also stained, and it is no longer just to entertain readers.

The arrival of merchants has a huge benefit, they come from ten miles and eight towns, and there are some merchants who come from afar, even from the south of the Yangtze River, I heard that there are rare things in Beijing, but they seem cautious, and they want to come and see in person, even if they come and refuse to order, they will linger for a few days.

Many people came together to exchange messages from all over the world.

These messages passed through the inn's Xiao Er, and then began to spread more and more vinegar.

Miners and craftsmen are different from farmers, who only need to pay attention to the palm-sized world, and rarely communicate with outsiders, if there are outsiders in the Zhuangzi, it is also a very rare thing, but here, any topic spreads the fastest, even if these news, how much water is mixed with, but only God knows.

And occasionally there are scholars wandering, and everyone here looks at these talented masters and lifting people in awe, and at the same time, occasionally some people begin to imitate the words of the readers.

In their opinion, if they can add a few words to the words, it is really a face-saving thing.

Schoolchildren are the most unscrupulous, where there is food, they will swarm where to drill, only when they happen to meet the gentleman who came here to drink tea, they are frightened, and they scatter in a hurry.

People are always prone to doting on children, especially here, where farmers don't have to fight because of water sources, and there are no conflicts because of clan names.

On the contrary, because working together requires collaboration, gradually, although the surname and place of origin are different, they began to call themselves brothers.

Every time Engong came, almost all of them stood far away, not daring to get too close, and only when Engong had walked by, they carefully detoured the way, and from afar, they would salute, not because of fear, but because of gratitude.

Compared with the past, compared with many tenant farmers who are still struggling in the Zhuangzi, they cherish today's hard-won achievements.
