Chapter 223: Face Saint
I saw Fang Jifan's face pulled, and he said righteously: "Shibo, who are you going to be discharged?" I don't dare to think that when the husband acts, when he falls, like the sun and the moon, how is it different from a beast? β
ββ
Zhang Mao's body was stunned, looking at Fang Jifan's righteous face, and he was suddenly ashamed of himself because of this righteous anger.
I'm really not a thing, I'm not even as good as a child!
After glancing at Fang Jifan seriously, suddenly, Zhang Mao had a feeling that he should be impressed by Shibei for three days.
He never imagined that Fang Jifan was such an honest child, that Lao Fang was really a good godson, and compared with Lao Fang, he was really inferior to a dog.
I sighed in my heart, and I couldn't care about emotion at this time, Your Majesty is still waiting to return to life!
So Zhang Mao said without delay: "Thirty stones, thirty stones, let's go, go back to life." β
After that, Zhang Mao patted Fang Jifan's shoulder affectionately, and he was extremely enthusiastic.
At this time, in the temple of the body, a court meeting was still going on.
It's just that Emperor Hongzhi is in a trance.
Although I can't believe that the so-called yield of thirty stones per mu.
But Emperor Hongzhi faintly had some expectations.
Since history, Mo said that it was thirty stones, and this crop was ten stones per mu, and I had never heard of it.
In fact, if Fang Jifan reported a ten stones, he couldn't say, Emperor Hongzhi would believe it, but these thirty stones were too absurd, so that when he heard it, he felt that it was too fake.
He couldn't help but sigh in his heart, how good it would be if this could come true.
But immediately, it was dragged again.
The ministers were already arguing with each other, but Emperor Hongzhi was distracted, and when he came back to his senses, he only looked at the empty hall blankly.
Liu Jie presided over this court meeting, his eyes casually looked at Emperor Hongzhi, usually, Emperor Hongzhi would always speak, but today, he could obviously feel His Majesty's anxiety.
Actually, he can understand it.
Isn't the so-called state affair a matter of money and food?
There was a disaster, money and food were needed, there was a rebellion, the soldiers and horses did not move, or the grain and grass went first, and the things in the world always can't escape these two words.
The auspicious yield of 30 stones per mu sounds absurd, but it will inevitably make His Majesty's pigeon fluttering, so why is he not tempted?
The world can really achieve this yield of 30 stones per mu, no, even if it is 10 stones, the world will not be far away.
It's a pity that Fang Jifan's apricot has aroused everyone's appetite, but his auspiciousness is really empty.
But at this moment, a eunuch hurriedly came in and said, "Your Majesty, the British Duke is back."
At this time, it was close to evening, and the court meeting that lasted nearly two hours was coming to an end.
Emperor Hongzhi listened, but he was not in a hurry to summon the British duke, but said lightly: "Let him wait, later, I will pass it on." β
Here, in fact, there is a desire to protect Fang Jifan's apricot.
Since the British Duke has been asked to investigate thoroughly, but the tenth **, that apricot doesn't know what medicine he took wrong today, he is making a false report, and he found out the false report, in front of the Manchu Dynasty civil and military, the British Duke reported the matter, which must have caused an uproar, there are a lot of imperial histories here, once everyone rushes to speak up, this is worth it, which will make him and Fang Jifan unable to come to the stage.
Therefore, it is still privately reported, so that even if it is a false report, at least it is not eye-catching, so many things happen every day in the DPRK and China, and the imperial historians are afraid that they are too lazy to bring up the old things.
The eunuch nodded, and withdrew.
But not long after, there was a commotion outside.
The British Duke Zhang Mao and Fang Jifan entered the palace and waited outside the palace, but the eunuch said that they should wait.
Zhang Mao is anxious, anxious, such a big happy event, he can't wait for a moment.
The rules in the palace are strict, and the British Duke is an old minister, if it is usual, His Majesty does not say that he will wait for a while, that is, let him wait for three days and three nights, and he will not have a temper.
But now he pulled his face and said: "No, Ji Fan, let's meet immediately, such a big event, how can it be delayed, come with me, something happens, there is an old man to stand on top." β
After that, he gently flicked his hand and directly pushed away the eunuch who was blocking in front of him.
Zhang Mao has a lot of strength, even if it is only 'gently', the eunuch was thrown out directly, fell to the ground, and he did not forget his duty: "Don't be ordered by Your Majesty"
Zhang Mao can manage so much, he is a person who is thick and fine, even if he carries a knife into the palace today, with this great event, he will not worry about being cut off his head.
"The matter of canal transshipment, according to the minister's opinion" Chen Huang, the director of the Jiangxi Qing Officials Department of the Ministry of Households, was now talking eloquently, and suddenly, his words stopped.
He watched in amazement as Zhang Mao entered the hall with a lively spirit.
Fang Jifan was much more low-key, hiding behind Zhang Mao, but following step by step.
ββ
In the Ming Dynasty, in addition to the Tumubao Incident, there were ministers who fought in this palace and beat Wang Zhen's henchmen to death at that time, and I really haven't seen anyone so daring.
Countless pairs of eyes looked towards Zhang Mao in amazement.
Including Emperor Hongji.
Emperor Hongzhi frowned unconsciously.
He is very good to the British public Zhang Mao, taro, although Zhang Mao is occasionally reckless, but he is also a person who knows how to advance and retreat, and is an old minister, and is a loyal and good queen who rests with the country, so Emperor Hongzhi sacrificed to the sky several times, as well as worshiped the ancestral temple, all of which appointed Zhang Mao to go, but today
"Hello bold, British duke!"
At this time, someone stood up, and his voice was righteous and awe-inspiring.
This person is Liu Daxia, who is known as the three gentlemen of the Hongzhi Dynasty.
Liu Daxia relied on the military department Shangshu Xiang Zhong, in order to prevent the imperial court from rejoicing in the great achievements, so as to supervise the construction of ships to go to the West, so the shipbuilding drawings and Zheng He's materials were burned and named, becoming a gentleman who was righteous and dared to commit crimes in the eyes of people at this time.
Zhang Mao didn't even look at this person, he didn't bother to pay attention to him at all, what kind of gentleman is not a gentleman, the most important thing in the Ming Dynasty is a gentleman, a basket of baskets, if it can be sold at a good price, this Ming Dynasty is now rich.
It seems that Zhang Mao, an old fritter who has gone through several dynasties, although he is 'bold and reckless', but he knows the importance very well, he continued to move forward, and then did not hesitate to make a big salute to Emperor Hongzhi: "Your Majesty, the minister is here to report the good news, great joy"
Exultation?
Emperor Hongzhi's heart moved, and he seemed to realize something instantly, but he still looked unbelievable, he looked at Zhang Mao and said, "It's okay for the Qing family to say. β
Now where is the slightest mood to care about other things.
Zhang Mao said proudly: "Your Majesty, the minister has found out that the so-called auspicious thing is nothing!" β
It's nothing.
These four words instantly focused everyone's attention on Fang Jifan's body.
Sure enough, it's a risk
Hmph, this stinky shameless thing.
Although Fang Jifan was not embarrassed, he couldn't bear to scold in his heart, Shibo, can you finish your special sentence in one breath, you have to break a sentence here, do you think you are a writer?
Fortunately, Zhang Mao immediately said: "The so-called yield of 30 stones per mu is indeed not auspicious, but the old minister sees it as true, and dares to guarantee the head, but it is true, the reason why the old minister said it is conclusive, saying that this is not auspicious, but because the yield of 30 stones per mu is not accidental, in Xishan, the land that produces 30 stones per mu of grain is everywhere, Your Majesty, this is God bless Daming, since then, within a hundred years, I Daming no longer has hunger. β
Speaking of this, Zhang Mao was also emotional.
I really lived on a dog in this life, look at Fang Jifan's apricot, and solve the problem for a hundred years at once.
Emperor Hongzhi's body trembled, he stood up, and when he heard this, it was like thunder on a sunny day, his feet were soft, and he sat down on the imperial chair alive.
And in this lively temple, I was suffocated for a while.
Liu Jian's eyes widened, and he couldn't help but say: "How is this possible, the yield per mu is thirty stones, is it rice or wheat?" β
Liu Jiao is serious, and he can still maintain a trace of clarity.
Zhang Mao was silent.
In fact, after the yield of 30 stones per mu was confirmed by the British public, basically no one dared to question it.
Zhang Mao was waiting for Fang Jifan to answer himself.
Fang Jifan knew that it was time for him to perform, so he stepped forward and said: "It's not wheat, it's not rice, it's sweet potato, because the skin is red, so it's also called sweet potato." β
All of a sudden, the person who had risen with hope fell into an ice cellar all at once, and it turned out that it was neither rice nor wheat.
If so, then even if it is a yield of 100 stones per mu, what is the point?
"Can you eat it?" Liu Jiao continued to question.
Every question raised by Liu is the object of attention of the Manchu monarchs.
Fang Jifan froze: "It's delicious." β
He didn't answer the question of whether he could or not, but directly used it and answered all his doubts at once.
Liu Jian raised his eyebrows, and now it is a little interesting.
But he still had many questions, and continued: "Can you quench hunger?" β
"Yes!" Fang Jifan replied very simply.
Thinking that the prosperous era of the Manchu Qing Dynasty was supported by this sweet potato, which made the population grow nearly tenfold and feed countless people.
It's just that many people still don't believe it.
It's not that they're smart or not, and no one is stupid if they can stand here.
But sweet potatoes, they have never seen such a thing, and now they don't dare to believe such a 'magical' thing.
Liu Jin took a deep breath excitedly, and then said word by word: "How to prove?" β
"It's easy to prove." Fang Jifan replied word by word in full view of everyone: "I brought all the guys, just try it!" β
