Ji Changan pulled Fang Zhongjin into the upstairs guest room alone. Fang Zhongjin didn't know what kind of medicine he was selling in the gourd, so he found a chair at random and sat down, waiting for him to speak first.

Ji Changan squinted at Fang Zhongjin, but he didn't expect the first sentence to be said: "You refuse to go to Jinyiwei with me, is it because you are Fang Xiaoru's nephew?"

Fang Zhongjin had long known that Ji Chang'an, as a Jinyi Wei Qianhu, had excellent ability in searching for intelligence, so he was not surprised to hear what he said suddenly.

Ji Changan saw that although Fang Zhongjin was picked out by himself, he still looked calm and waveless, and snorted and said: "You said that because you once worked as a bodyguard in Shuying Pavilion in the capital, you only knew the tribute wine stolen by the Thunder Light Mouse. He smiled contemptuously as he said this, and continued, "What kind of thing is Shuying Pavilion? There are brothels in the whole capital, and no one knows such a treasure as wine. As soon as I returned to Beijing, I asked the old bustard in Shuying Pavilion, she hadn't even heard the name of 'wine', how did you see it from the side?"

Fang Zhongjin casually made up a lie because he didn't expect that he would meet Ji Changan. I didn't expect this person to be so serious, and he would really go to Shuying Pavilion to testify.

Ji Changan sat on the Taishi chair, crossed Erlang's legs, and said to Fang Zhongjin with a smug face: "If you really just have an identity problem, then you don't have to worry about it at all." You have also seen the Bao County Order here, as long as I give you a few casual orders, I can change the right birth for you. How about it, come with me to Jinyiwei?" He came all the way to Ninghai this time, the purpose was to recruit Fang Zhongjin, a rare talent. Ji Chang was already ready, but after these words were spoken, he would definitely make Fang Zhongjin grateful, and swore to serve him for the rest of his life.

But it's a pity that Fang Zhongjin didn't show the gratitude he expected after hearing this. In fact, in Fang Zhongjin's heart, he has a hazy plan for his future path. Ninghai is his hometown, but Fang Zhongjin was born in the capital since he was a child. This time, I rushed so many ways, just to see with my own eyes what was hidden under the locust tree in the old mansion. To this day, he has never been given the opportunity to travel alone. Fang Zhongjin always has to dig out the box first and see what it is.

But what about after digging out the box? It may be really good to follow Ji Changan back to the capital to be a brocade guard. But in Fang Zhongjin's heart, he didn't want to be like the county magistrate Bao Guoxing just now, and live a life of flattery and confinement from now on. Today's Fang Zhongjin, the internal force is unfathomable. Even Ji Chang'an is probably no longer his opponent. A character like him, no matter what he wants to do, must be able to catch it, and he doesn't have to spend it in public.

What kind of person is Ji Chang'an? When he saw Fang Zhongjin's expression faint, he knew that his words had failed to impress him. He snorted and said, "It's okay, I know you're a talent." There is no reason for a thousand miles of good horses to beckon. Don't worry, I'll always stay here with Zheng He for a while. When you change your mind, you can come to me anytime, anywhere. He paused, then added, "As for identity, you don't have to worry about it. I'll get you done when I get back. ”

Ji Chang Anxin knew that people like Fang Zhongjin were dragons and phoenixes, and he didn't need some means to move his heart, after all, he couldn't be enveloped by ordinary methods. He pretended to be generous, to show that he really cherished talents. Ji Changan also doesn't regard changing household registration as a quid pro quo, because in the eyes of people like Fang Zhongjin, household registration has become a joke. As long as he wants to go, no one can keep him, and if he wants to come, there are few places where he can't get in.

Ji Chang'an thought about this, smiled and said to Fang Zhongjin: "You kid is lucky. In Jinhua County, there was a lot of trouble, and since then, the beggars have collected the favors of the beggars in the palm of their hands. ”

When Fang Zhongjin heard this, he suddenly thought of something and asked, "Xia Yuanji, the county magistrate of Jinhua County, does anyone in the court care about him?"

This question was asked abruptly, and Ji Chang Anqi said: "A county order, who cares? Could it be that he is the son and nephew of a senior member of the court?"

Fang Zhongjin looked at him and didn't look like he was fake. Ji Changan seemed to be true before, and he had never heard of Xia Yuanji. With a person like Jinyiwei, who is sensitive and well-informed, he has never cared about a character like Xia Yuanji. So isn't this behind-the-scenes troublemaker really from the imperial court? Since Fang Zhongjin couldn't figure it out, he no longer put it in his heart.

Ji Changan smiled again and said, "Maybe there will be a banquet in the evening." Although this Ninghai is not a big place, the Baoxian Ling here loves to put on a show. Then you can join in the fun. In fact, what he really thought in his heart was: It is always not wrong to drag Fang Zhongjin into the water more.

Fang Zhongjin didn't refuse, but asked strangely: "This Lord Zheng He, he is being chased and flattered by everyone here, is he going to buy a boat here?"

Ji Changan nodded and said, "I don't have to hide it from you." We came to Ninghai this time to buy a batch of big ships on the orders of the emperor. ”

Fang Zhongjin knew that Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang was very fond of building big ships. In the early years, when the first emperor had not ascended the throne, he suffered a big loss from Chen Youliang in Poyang Lake. At that time, there was a water battle in Poyang Lake, and Zhu Yuanzhang and Chen Youliang fought in the dark, and the sun and moon were colorless. Chen Youliang's warships were huge, while Zhu Yuanzhang's warships were small and could not be attacked from above. As a result, the Ming army suffered setbacks one after another. What's more, Zhu Yuanzhang's ship was also stranded and surrounded, and it was in danger of accidents. Although the battle ended with Zhu Yuanzhang defeating Chen Youliang. But from this moment on, Zhu Yuanzhang has established an extremely firm belief in his heart:

Build a ship! Build a big ship!

Since Zhu Yuanzhang became emperor, the Ming Dynasty has never stopped building big ships. It is precisely because of this that there are more and more ships in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and they are becoming more and more prosperous. Relying solely on the shipbuilding industry, I don't know how many wealthy businessmen have been achieved, and how many women have been supported.

Fang Zhongjin nodded after hearing this, and said, "It turned out that I wanted to build a new ship, so I sent you to Ninghai." But there was something strange in his heart. If it's just for shipbuilding, why make it so secretive.

Ji Chang Anxin knew that he had aroused Fang Zhongjin's interest, so he said proudly: "Although it is a shipbuilding, it is not an ordinary ship. Otherwise, why would you want me to go out?" he pretended to be mysterious and lowered his voice and said, "What we are going to build this time is a sea ship!"

What he said made Fang Zhongjin stunned. The Ming Dynasty has strictly implemented the sea ban since the Hongwu period, and the emperor has strictly ordered: "An inch board shall not go to the sea!" Although the boats in Jiangsu and Zhejiang are prosperous, they are all river boats. Why is it that now he is suddenly going to build a large number of sea ships again? Could it be that there is any big move that the Holy Lord Zhu Di will not make today?
