Chapter 627: Weng's Son-in-law's Love
However, Fang Jifan's words were like a boulder in the hearts of Emperor Hongzhi and other monarchs and ministers, and ripples rippled in that heart.
Brought back from the sea?
Overseas again?
In this overseas world, there is high-yield grain, and there are even precious medicinal materials.
In the past, all the policies of the imperial court revolved around throttling.
Because people stick to the rules and believe that there are only so many properties in the Ming Dynasty, in order to prevent the shortage of products in disaster years, it is necessary to put an end to luxury, so they hide at home, and save if they can.
Therefore, the Ming Dynasty is proud of frugality, and war? If you can avoid it, avoid it, after all, the war is together, and the cost will go away. Going to the West? It's too wasteful, and Emperor Wen's national policy of going to the West has been sprayed by a lot of clear streams so far. All the expenses of the imperial court, what can be saved, even if it is to raise soldiers, it is to set aside a piece of land, go to the field yourself, and the salary will not be given.
Under this established national policy, in fact, from the beginning of the Ming Dynasty to the present, the income of the state treasury has hardly increased much, what was it like more than a hundred years ago, and what it is today.
Fang Jifan's greatest contribution is not that he has made any contributions, but that he has opened a new door for the monarchs and ministers.
It turns out that in addition to throttling, there is also the possibility of open source.
The emergence of sweet potatoes and potatoes greatly increased grain production, and the fishing of marine fish not only increased the income of the imperial court, but also used fishing to raise and prepare for the Japanese guards, thus deterring overseas Japanese and solving the problem of Japanese troubles. This great epidemic, if it continues to rage, how many people will die, everyone can not imagine, but only a certain tree species brought back from overseas, but it has saved countless people, and even strengthened the rule of the southwest, and it is not necessary that after the catastrophe, the imperial court spent countless manpower and material resources to relieve the disaster, not to mention that the imperial court recruited officials and troops from other places into Gui, Yunnan, and Guizhou provinces to refill the emptiness after the catastrophe.
As for this 'Guangzong Yaozu Xiao Gonggong' tree, Emperor Hongzhi knows that this is Fang Jifan's teasing Xiao Jing, this is a subsection, Fang Jifan is such a character, Xiao Companion is a generous person, and he should not worry about him.
Fang Jifan said: "After the tree species were brought back, Tuntianwei went up and down, in order to plant this tree, he never sleeped, especially Zhang Xin......"
Emperor Hongzhi pressed his hand: "I know, you have to ask for merit for them again, good, good, meritorious, meritorious will be rewarded, and 300 catties of gold will be given." ”
“……”
Fang Jifan began to doubt life a little.
Three hundred catties of copper is very anxious.
Liu Jian and others also looked embarrassed.
The reward standard of the internal money, 300 catties, is already a relatively high standard.
At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, this number was even more staggering.
But the law of the court is like this, what else can it do?
It's embarrassing though, after all...... It's true that some can't do it.
From beginning to end, Fang Jifan looked depressed, his brows were deeply locked, and his heart was heavy.
Emperor Hongzhi and Liu Jian and others were interested, and went to see the 'Guangzong Yaozu Xiao Gonggong Tree' in person, and Emperor Hongzhi called Zhang Xin and others and praised them fiercely.
Zhang Xin and others were particularly excited about His Majesty's commendation, and some even cried, sniffled, knelt down, and bowed three times, praising the grace of our emperor.
Emperor Hongzhi is a delicate person, seeing that Fang Jifan has been worried, but he didn't show anything, at noon, Wen Yansheng cooked, made a table of wine and food, and the monarchs and ministers happily sat in the hall of the Zhenguo Mansion and feasted.
Emperor Hongzhi ate some wine, was a little drunk, and said with emotion: "Pingxi Hou Zhongyi, my son-in-law, is also very good, and I have no regrets." ”
Liu Jian and others took the opportunity to say some compliments.
After three rounds of drinking, Emperor Hongzhi set off and prepared to return to the palace.
Emperor Hongzhi was slightly drunk, Xiao Jing was about to support Emperor Hongzhi, but Emperor Hongzhi waved his hand and said, "Jifan, you come." ”
Fang Jifan had a sad face, but he had no choice but to step forward and help Emperor Hongzhi to get into the sedan chair, and Emperor Hongzhi said in a low voice: "Your father is safe and sound, why is Qing depressed?" ”
Fang Jifan shook his head: "It's nothing, the minister is very good." ”
Emperor Hongzhi's drunken eyes were like watching the fire, and he seemed to see through the anxiety in Fang Jifan's heart at a glance: "Qing has something to say, but it doesn't hurt to speak, you and I are son-in-law, what can't you say?" ”
Fang Jifan swallowed his saliva and thought for a while: "The minister still doesn't dare to say it. ”
Emperor Hongzhi smiled: "Anyway, I regard Qing as a humerus, if there is any difficulty, I will definitely not teach you to be wronged." ”
Fang Jifan thought for a while and hesitated: "The minister is thinking, Your Majesty, when Her Royal Highness the princess gets married, won't the dowry also be given tens of thousands of catties of 'gold'?" The minister ......" Fang Jifan said embarrassedly: "The minister doesn't mean anything else, and the minister is not greedy for money, just asking." ”
"......" Emperor Hongzhi's face fell, and the wine woke up, as if all of a sudden, the dragon spirit and tiger rose violently, but he didn't say anything, his eyes were full of meaning, and he only said lightly: "The country has the law of the country, I have returned to the palace, and I don't have to send it far." ”
The curtain was lowered, and the sedan chair was ordered, leading the officials and the guards in micro-uniforms to leave.
Fang Jifan came back to his senses, shook his head, slandered in his heart, stingy!
"Old Fang ......" saw that his father was gone, Zhu Houzhao suddenly recovered his spirits: "What did you say to your father just now?" ”
Fang Jifan said: "I said to Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is an upright person, which is rare, please Your Majesty don't always shout at His Highness......
Zhu Houzhao said happily: "Whatever, my father has always been like this, Lao Fang, this epidemic in the southwest is really good!" Admire, admire, at first you said to send medicine, but this palace thought you were joking. ”
Zhu Houzhao blinked: "But Annan...... Without the epidemic, the Annan people will inevitably shrink back, which is very bad. ”
After pondering for so many days, this Annan still can't fight, if he doesn't fight, wouldn't it be in vain.
Fang Jifan looked at Zhu Houzhao with a smile: "I went to the Feiqiu Camp, how could I return in vain." ”
"But ......"
Fang Jifan sighed and patted Zhu Houzhao's shoulder: "Your Highness, what the minister admires most about you is that Your Highness is too simple. ”
“……”
………………
Half a month later.
Yang Biao and others have arrived in Guizhou.
They set out first, and a large amount of baggage came slowly.
As soon as he arrived at the place, there was a flying horse and sent a military order from the Zhenguo Mansion, since Zhu Houzhao changed the seal, this determination of the military order has become a very headache.
Yang Biao and Shen Ao took out the comparison table, first glanced at the date of issuing the order, and then compared the date, they found the graphic of the Zhenguo Gongyin of the day, on this day, the public character of the Zhenguo Gongyin, there will be a small gap that is not easy to detect, take a magnifying glass to see, yes, that's right!
Call......
The two immediately acted according to the order, with a group of men and horses, to Wenshan, this area of Wenshan, is a place where the natives live, the mountain road is rugged, fortunately, the local natives learned that it was the Ming army, and they actually cooperated happily, and there was a special guide, leading Yang Biao and others to the south.
Further on, in front of you, there is a large camp of the Annamite people.
In fact, on the first line of this Wenshan Mountain, the imperial court thought that this was a wild place, and only set up a Tusi Prefecture in general, and after changing the land and returning to the stream, the ownership here is also unknown.
And because most of the natives here are members of the Liu clan, Pingxi Houfu insisted that this was under the jurisdiction of the Guizhou Metropolitan Division.
But for the Annan people, they naturally knew that the Ming court would not have much interest in these wild places.
Over the years, they have encroached on a lot of 'ternullius', and local officials have always felt that more is better than less, after all, this is a wild land, and God knows where this place belongs.
But the local natives, but very dissatisfied with this, after the Annan people eroded the land, they expelled the original natives, in this vicinity, stationed military horses, the natives suffered greatly, but the natives knew that they had rebelled against the Ming court, in the hearts of the Annan people, it seemed that they were not worried, they went to the Ming court to complain.
It is precisely because of this mentality that the Annan people are here and are becoming more and more rampant.
In this southwest epidemic, the people of Annam seem to think that this is a godsend, and they began to send additional troops and horses here, and it seems that they have the intention of encroaching on this place in one fell swoop.
Now this Annan military village, as soon as it is night, it is brightly lit.
At this moment, Pingxi Hou had also repaired the book and went to the military village, asking them to retreat fifty miles and not cross the border.
The Annan people did not say anything about this, neither retreated, nor provoked, they were like nails, and the Annan envoys who were far away in Beijing were crying and crying complaints, and they were bullied by the Marquis of Pingxi.
Yang Biao chewed the jerky and soaked the urine, then took a group of people to the military village, and then began to observe the military village.
Shen Ao stood beside him.
Shen Ao said: "Order, camp here, and send people under his village to reprimand them." ”
After a while, everyone went to the cottage, and the military village was immediately on guard, and the Annan people seemed to feel the malice of these uninvited guests, and immediately became vigilant.
At the end of the military village, a guide who was proficient in Annam came out and began to curse.
He denounced the Annanites for violating the border, and had the audacity to let them go back immediately, otherwise how would it be.
The Annan people on the military village were unmoved.
However, the more he scolded, the more unpleasant it became, and the Annan people in this village were also a little angry in their hearts.
The guide under the village is born with a good voice, after all, the natives love to sing mountain songs, who has a big voice, sings well, the probability of reproduction is greater, the natives' science and technology tree, obviously a little crooked, handed down, all have a big voice gene.
He began to have no scruples and changed his ways.
The soldiers of the other flying ball battalions were not idle, and they also scolded together in Chinese, full of tricks.
