Fang Jifan was happy, looked at Shen Wen, and said: "Where is it, this is what it should be, Fang's family is my own sister-in-law, and if my own sister is not saved, is it still a person?" Old Shen, ......"

"......" Shen Wen smiled bitterly.

This old Shen really made this generation even more messy.

But when you think about it, it seems that it can only be so vague.

It's like Fang Jifan is the prince's brother-in-law, but the prince is Fang Jifan's brother-in-law, what can he say? Your circle is too messy.

Fang Jifan continued: "Now, the emperor and grandson have been born, and it will be fine, we have a successor to the Ming Dynasty, and there are still many things in the future, let's pay attention to it." ”

This was a pun, Shen Wen was excited, and he suddenly realized what Fang Jifan meant.

I'm still struggling with what else to do.

O Emperor Sun.

There is nothing more important in this world than the emperor and grandson, he is the grandson's grandfather by blood, as a scholar of Hallym University, he will only do one in the second half of his life, no matter what, the emperor and grandson must grow up peacefully and educate adults.

And this child will be Fang Jifan's nephew in the future, and at the same time, he will also be a nephew.

Although the relationship is chaotic, it doesn't matter, all in all, there is a relationship.

Shen Wen didn't say anything, and said to Fang Jifan: "The old man understands what Du Wei meant. ”

Fang Jifan said: "Why doesn't Lao Shen come in and have a sip of tea before leaving." ”

Shen Wen shook his head: "Something, next time." ”

Fang Jifan nodded regretfully: "Then...... Be careful on the road. ”

Shen Wen didn't say anything, he got on the sedan chair, he, the leader of the clear stream, since then, he has only done one thing.

Fang Jifan returned home, and Deng Jian had already followed excitedly, bursting into tears: "Young master, you can go home, I'...... I...... Woohoo......"

Fang Jifan said impatiently: "What's wrong? ”

Deng Jian said: "The young master is either in Xishan these days, or in the princess's mansion, in this house, he has not come back for a day in a month, and the villain wants to kill the young master." ”

"You still want me dead?" Fang Jifan reprimanded angrily.

Deng Jian was frightened: "Don't dare, don't dare, the villain will die." As he spoke, he raised his hand and slapped his face hard, with a hot pain: "The villain is dead." ”

Fang Jifan sat down and said, "Forget it, I don't care about you, young master...... I'm busy, you know. ”

"Yes, yes, yes." Deng Jian's chick nodded as if pecking rice.

Fang Jifan said with emotion: "Family affairs, state affairs, world affairs, worry about everything, the eldest husband has a country and forgets his home, this is a matter of course, he can't enter the door, this is a true gentleman." ”

Deng Jian said in his heart, but you run to the princess's mansion every day.

Of course, he didn't dare to say this, but he cocked his thumb and roared loudly: "The young master is amazing, the young master is really wise." ”

Fang Jifan glanced at Deng Jian with disgust.

The level of this guy's sycophant is really the level of kindergarten, just like that, you can also mix in the stinky and shameless circle, and it can be regarded as your ancestor accumulating virtue, speaking of which, Lao Tzu is your grandfather.

Fang Jifan said with emotion: "In the future, I am determined not to let you serve, in the future I will have to live in the princess's mansion for a long time, which is better than our home, the location is good, it is also quiet, close to the imperial city, and the decoration is also very good." ”

After hearing this, Deng Jian's face changed, and he chuckled in his heart, he couldn't imagine that he had served the young master so carefully, and he would lose his job.

He suddenly burst into tears: "Young master, young master, no, it's not possible, little one...... Small ......"

Deng Jian, this guy, sometimes makes Fang Jifan's teeth itch with hatred, in the past, he always used Fang Jinglong's name to look at his illness, but speaking of which, this kid is also responsible, risking being beaten to death by himself, he always goes to give Fang Jinglong a small report, and if he has the slightest mistake, he will boldly question it.

But if you think about it, aren't you still worried about your illness?

Although Fang Jifan didn't have any illness at all.

Fang Jifan said with emotion: "Little Deng Deng, you have also followed me for so many years, and you are loyal to me, and now, I don't need you to take care of me, I have asked for another master, don't you know, the escort girls in the princess's mansion, the degree of carefulness, I don't know how many times stronger than you, and the eunuch, all of them know the cold and heat." ”

These words almost poked Deng Jian's heart.

Fang Jifan said: "But young master, you are a person who misses the old love, you have been with me for so many years, there is no merit, there is also hard work, my Fang Jifan is a person with a conscience, so I thought about it, this time there is an errand for you, it is not a big deal, just let you lie down on your legs, and if you do it, it is a great achievement." ”

When Deng Jian heard this, he was full of energy: "Young master, I don't know what kind of errand it is?" ”

Fang Jifan crossed his feet: "You go to a place, follow Jiang Chen, and when you get there, take people for Young Master Ben to find mineral veins." ”

Fang Jifan said, went to get the map in person, spread it out, Deng Jian came up, and smiled: "Is it far away?" The young master is so kind to me. ”

He saw with his own eyes that Fang Jifan's fingers had been squirming from the capital division, slowly, moving farther and farther, and finally, crossing countless mountains and rivers, and finally, passing through many passes, and finally, settling in a certain position in Hexi.

Deng Jian's smile faded away.

Fang Jifan nodded: "It's here, I don't know the location of the specific ore vein, but everything is difficult at the beginning, just go and find it." ”

"But ......," Deng Jian said, "But the young master...... This...... Isn't this Kanwai? ”

"That's right, it's Kanwai."

This is the land west of the river.

And the location that Fang Jifan refers to is the silver market in later generations.

Of course, the current silver market is still a barren place.

Over here...... It was also the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty once set up military guards here.

Unfortunately, after Emperor Hongzhi ascended the throne, the Tatars harassed and attacked Hexi again and again, because Hexi was outside the nine borders, and the Ming army was overwhelmed by the Tatar attacks in order to deal with them, and suffered heavy casualties.

Although Emperor Hongzhi was diligent in his administration, he was mostly influenced by his ministers.

The ministers thought that Hexi was too much of a loss, and it became the continuous bleeding of the Ming Dynasty, and if they wanted to save money, it was better to give up Hexi, anyway, there was no oil and water in this place, so Emperor Hongzhi retained several important towns in Hexi, such as Lanzhou.

This silver, in fact, is not far from Lanzhou, but has almost been reduced to the Tatar pasture, although the Tatars do not go often, just come by grass, but because of the withdrawal of a large number of military towns, so that the Han people almost dare not go deep beyond Lanzhou.

Fang Jifan has always regretted that the contraction of the Ming Dynasty in the land west of the river is simply a mouse's eye, because if he does not fight with the Tatars in the land west of the river, then the Tatars will continue to harass Liaodong and Datong, and the desire of the Tatars is difficult to satisfy.

The severance of Hexi has completely severed the connection between the Ming Dynasty and the West, and the old Silk Road in the past has been completely cut off, making Lanzhou and other important towns become isolated islands.

What's more, the mineral reserves of silver are amazing, among which copper ore alone is known as one of the six major copper veins in China in later generations, and its reserves and quality are the best in the world.

Once this copper is dug up, it can be used directly as currency.

In the pass, the copper veins of the Ming Dynasty are almost all in the hands of the imperial court, of course, there are many princes of the feudal towns, and they also occupy some, everyone mints their own money, and private excavation is not allowed, but if the copper veins can be found in the silver area, then a large number of high-quality copper coins are in the hands of Fang Jifan.

Not only that, but silver also has a large number of lead ore, zinc ore, cobalt ore, gold ore, silver ore, it is called silver, probably because the people of later generations are lazy, this place produces silver, then it is called silver.

This is a huge treasure trove, but as a result, Emperor Hongzhi actually lost it.

Fang Jifan smiled at Deng Jian and said, "Little Deng Deng ......"

Deng Jian rolled his eyes, and he cried.

"I haven't married a daughter-in-law yet, I haven't given birth to a baby, I have three unfilial pieties, and I have no queen to be a big ......" Deng Jian said: "The villain doesn't dare to go." ”

"Don't dare to go." Fang Jifan said: "I value you so much, you don't dare to go, something like a dog, the eldest husband made a fortune by courage, you don't want to go, right?" Okay, tomorrow in addition to your slave status, I will drive you out, from now on, don't say that you are from the Fang family. ”

Deng Jian snapped and knelt down, trembling: "Go, I'll go." ”

Fang Jifan was a little satisfied: "You go with Jiang Chen, take people, to the silver, this season, it's going to be winter, the Tatars will not go there in general, if the rain is abundant in the coming year, there will be aquatic grass, there will be a small group of Tatars to graze, there are mountains, you are in the mountains, you may not be able to meet them, even if you do, what are you afraid of, just fight with them, the husband is full of courage to seek wealth, why, because this wealth does not depend on life to seek, you have to be trampled under the feet of people for the rest of your life, After discovering the ore vein, it is a great achievement, and when the time comes, it is not easy to marry a daughter-in-law, I will prepare seven or eight mothers-in-law for you, buy you a house, and be prosperous and rich for a lifetime. ”

Deng Jian swallowed his saliva: "Do you want to make a note?" In black and white, the villain is relieved. ”

"Something like a dog." Fang Jifan was about to fight.

Deng Jian hugged his head: "Young master, this is what you taught me......"

Fang Jifan was indignant: "It depends on who it is, a person like the young master who is honest-based also needs to set up a note, blind the eyes of the young master, and raise you, a white-eyed wolf." ”

But at this time, a porter outside hurriedly came over: "Young master, someone has come to the palace, take the will." ”

And the will came.

Fang Jifan was looking forward to this will.

After all, after the words in black and white, it was announced to the world, and Fang Jifan felt more relieved.

Otherwise, who knew that he had discovered the ore vein, and the emperor Lao Tzu would not turn his face, Fang Jifan was overjoyed: "Coming, coming." ”

Mei Zizi put on the court clothes, and when she arrived at the middle gate, there were already eunuchs waiting, and the eunuch smiled and said: "Your Majesty has a will, please accept the decree." ”

He was very gentle, and when the other party smiled, he looked like a shy child.

Fang Jifan solemnly said: "The minister accepts the order." ”
