For readers, without books, they cannot broaden their horizons.

Now it's different, Fang Jifan has silver, and he buys all the manuscripts and anthologies printed on the market, and reads them casually. What's more, Ouyang Zhi and the three of them were promoted, and their identities were very different, and they began to meet friends every once in a while, and their knowledge improved a lot.

Treat these three guys, Fang Jifan used a free-range method, but in order to cope with the next year's examination, Fang Jifan gave them a lot of questions, and now there is a lot of time, and this next year's spring exam questions Fang Jifan is clear, in the twelfth year of Hongzhi, Emperor Hongzhi ordered the prince to protect the Ministry of Rites and Wenyuan Pavilion scholar Li Dongyang, the right waiter of the Ministry of Rites and the bachelor of Hanlin Cheng Minzheng as the examiner, and the examination questions and palace examination questions of the unfinished department, Fang Jifan is also clear.

However, there will be a small episode in this examination, which will involve the examiner Cheng Minzheng and Jiangnan geniuses Xu Jing and Tang Yin's imperial examination cheating case.

This...... It's a different kind of test.

Fang Jifan's heart turned and he smiled slightly.

As for the matter of Ouyang Zhi and the three of them, Fang Jifan didn't have anything to worry about, because he really wouldn't cheat, and he didn't plan to deal with any future examiners, he just needed to come up with some 'questions', and then hide the real questions in the sea of questions, and let the three protégés go to composition training.

Ouyang Zhi and the three of them, in order to prepare for the exam, really worked extremely hard, from early morning to midnight, they were desperately brushing questions and reading frantically, and they didn't dare to slack off.

I can't imagine that today, they have such idleness.

Fang Jifan said to Ouyang Zhi and the three of them with an expression that I am your father, sat down and dusted off his body; "Oh, hello, why don't you study today?"

The three of them glanced at each other, and then looked at Shi Gong Fang Jinglong.

Fang Jinglong grinned and said: "My father has had a whim recently, well, that's the case, son, the day before yesterday, my father went to check the accounts, hey...... There is a lot of silver missing, so if it goes on, how can I get it, the million taels of silver that sold ebony, are tossed by you, and the current silver at home looks empty, leaving only a shop in the east market and a Zhuangzi outside the city, Jifan, for the father, but I look forward to you, not looking forward to anything else, just have to guard our shop and the property, you don't move, don't be angry, for the father means, this is all to blame for me, the father, in the past, neglected to teach you, for the last bit of family wealth of our Fang family, so the father must lead by example. ”

He looked at Ouyang Zhi and the three of them with appreciation, and said with satisfaction: "These three apprentices and grandsons are those who have read books, and those who have read books have different ideas, what is education, education is to teach by words and deeds, right, Ouyang disciples, ......"

Ouyang Zhi nodded with a shy face: "Yes, yes, yes, what the master said is right." ”

Fang Jinglong spread his legs, sat down loudly, and said excitedly: "Today, as a father, I have to teach you by word and deed, and teach you how to live frugally." ”

Fang Jifan was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and dared to bring in foreign aid.

Merely...... Fang Jifan looked at Ouyang Zhi's three apprentices, your sister, you are my apprentices, but you ran to teach your teacher's father to deal with your own teacher?

As soon as Ouyang Zhi saw Enfu's aggressive gaze, he was immediately so frightened that he didn't dare to come out, and he hurriedly lowered his head: "The protégé should be damned." ”

Fang Jifan felt in his heart, these three people didn't dare to come out in front of him, was he so terrible? Hey, in fact, like you, I am a good young man who is motivated. However, he still had to look like a hippie smile, with his feet crossed, his nostrils facing the sky, snorting coldly, and his eyes only looking at the beams.

Fang Jinglong smiled, he was afraid that he would 'teach by word and deed' and make his son uncomfortable, so he tried his best to use a more euphemistic tone to not make his son feel any stimulation.

My son still has a brain disease, but don't be too excited.

"This is taught by deeds, ahem...... In fact, to put it bluntly, it is necessary to be diligent and thrifty, how to be diligent and thrifty? It is silver that should not be spent, and it cannot be spent indiscriminately. Of course, Fan'er, my father didn't say that you spent money indiscriminately, but what my father meant, just like the current weather, it's cold, and you want to burn charcoal, if you don't burn charcoal, won't you freeze to death? Isn't it? ”

Fang Jifan looked at his father with a confused expression, he really couldn't understand what tricks this most failed parenting expert in history wanted to play.

When Fang Jinglong said this, he lamented in his heart, poor, really poor, since he checked the accounts of the account room, he knew that the million lines of silver were spent like flowing water, not only that, but also embarrassing, who doesn't know that his son is a boy who scatters money.

I can't go on like this, this family, I'm afraid it's not enough to lose a few years, so ...... We must learn from the pain, and we have to let the clan know that firewood and rice are expensive.

"But you see, the carbon price at this time is really a thousand miles a day, and a pound has risen to more than 40 yuan, which is really terrible." Fang Jinglong looked sad, but then smiled again: "Since you want to run a family, you have to save, you see as a father, you can't let your family freeze, so to speak, you can't spend money indiscriminately." Fan'er, look at this ......"

He pointed with his hand and pointed at the brazier on the ground.

Only then did Fang Jifan notice that the brazier under his feet was steaming hot at the moment, as if it was ...... It's not carbon that's burned, it's briquettes.

"This, you know what it is?" Fang Jinglong sold it.

Fang Jifan blurted out: "Anthracite ......"

"Huh?" Fang Jinglong was stunned: "Haha, Wu'er is well-informed, haha, let me tell you the truth, this anthracite, it also came up in the past two days, someone sent a few catties to the British public, the British public tried it, the effect is very good, compared to charcoal, there is some meaning, Fan'er, don't you feel very warm now?" This anthracite is really a good thing, of course, this is not the point, the point is, it is cheap, for the father but it took a lot of effort to ask someone to buy it, it is said that now it is only a trial sale, only to supply hundreds of catties, for the father to buy it, is to tell you a truth, the silver should be spent, you can't let yourself freeze and starve, but the silver that should not be spent, but there is really no need to spend, you think about it, now burning this anthracite, is there a feeling of seeing those who burn charcoal, is the world's number one fool? “

"......" Fang Jifan blushed, and stopped talking.

Fang Jinglong seemed to feel that his words and deeds had an effect, and he immediately cheered up, and said with his eyebrows: "When you buy something, you have to buy good quality and low price, this reason, in fact, it is the same as you spend so much money to buy the wasteland in Xishan, this wasteland in Xishan is like a person who buys charcoal, if you buy it, people will make fun of it...... You...... Can you understand what it means to be a father? ”

Fang Jinglong blinked desperately, hoping that his son would open his mind.

Fang Jifan shook his head: "I don't understand." ”

"It's not clear yet......" Fang Jinglong slapped his thigh, a little anxious, and wanted to continue to explain.

Fang Jifan was already annoyed, but said casually: "But this anthracite is from Xishan." ”

Fang Jinglong laughed: "Xishan produces coal, huh...... You said...... Well? Anthracite ...... from Nishiyama"

Fang Jinglong's eyes widened, a little incredulous.

Fang Jifan was a slap in the case, and the snap made Fang Jinglong and Ouyang Zhi feel frightened, Fang Jifan said: "This anthracite is indeed produced in Xishan, father...... You are a loser, this coal is in the hands of your son, it is worthless, and you still ask someone to spend money to buy it? The things that are born in your own field are worthless if you pick them up casually! Did you still spend money? How can I have such a father, dozens of dollars, just so ruined by you, I finally understand why others call me a loser, drink water and think of the source, in the end, this is all because you are not right on the beam and crooked on the bottom beam, you have broken me! ”

"......" Fang Jinglong's old face turned red at first, and he felt that his righteous rebuke was very reasonable, and this was taught by example...... Seems to have failed.

But immediately, Fang Jinglong's tiger body was shocked.

Wrong.

Is the coal from Nishiyama?

So...... Xishan is the Fang family again.

This...... Is it possible?

"Fan'er, don't you want to bluff me?" Fang Jinglong snorted, "Let's not joke. ”

Fang Jifan yelled: "What are you kidding, if it weren't for that, how would I know what anthracite!" ”

Suddenly, Fang Jinglong's body seemed to be reflexively excited.

He first stroked his forehead, feeling a little dizzy.

It's groggy and terrible.

But immediately, his eyes widened like copper bells, and he laughed wildly like rubble: "Hahahaha...... The ancestors are virtuous, our Jinglong, and the godson are good! ”

Fang Jifan looked at Fang Jinglong strangely, and a terrible thought popped up in his heart, his cheekiness should be ancestral, huh...... Definitely, yes.
