Prodigal Son of the Ming Dynasty

  Chapter 730 Go home

  Fang Jifan glanced at Emperor Hongzhi.

  Actually... In later generations, there is a term called stratosphere.

  Every group of people is different, and their natural thinking is also different.

  In this era, different people are more divided.

  For example, people above the temple, their thinking is completely different from that of ordinary people.

  So Emperor Hongzhi couldn't understand why the people didn't understand that he had worked so hard.

  Zhu Houzhao's bluffing, but won support.

  Fang Jifan said: "This is the stupidity of the common people."

  Emperor Hongzhi looked at Fang Jifan coldly: "That's all you think?"

  Fang Jifan said: "But who caused their stupidity?"

   "..." Emperor Hongzhi was taken aback.

"People disdain them. For example, King Ning, King Ning only wants to rebel. As a vassal king, he only wants to use these people to make them pawns for his great cause. Another example is the governor. Wang Zhen, King Ning wants to rebel, he still has a strong character and refuses to cling to him, but Wang Zhen is the governor, does he have these stupid people in his eyes? Don't say that he is a dignified governor, even if he is a magistrate or a county magistrate, It is the magistrates and officials of Nanchang County and Xinjian County, but have you ever taken them seriously?"

"Old cousins ​​are stupid, greedy, and don't like to take a bath. They are short-sighted, but this... is the result of being ignored for thousands of years. Jiangxi chief envoy is a land of fish and rice, but there are so many People have no tiles on the top, no place to stand on the bottom, ragged clothes, and no food to eat. They either have to become thieves, or they are accused of being foolish and troublesome. The government envoy is the result of the prefecture and county, even a small pawn, turning a blind eye."

   "His Royal Highness is full of stinky problems..."

  Emperor Hongzhi was silent.

Fang Jifan said: "Perhaps in the eyes of His Majesty, what the crown prince did was nothing more than fooling around, playing with old cousins, and it was just on his whim. But it is also because of this neglect from top to bottom, Therefore, His Royal Highness just gave these stupid old cousins ​​a sweet date, and these old cousins ​​were very grateful to His Royal Highness. I bet that after thirty years, the people here, their descendants , I will still remember that His Royal Highness came here, His Royal Highness was here, and led them to clean up the mud, reclaim the land, and build dams."

  Emperor Hongzhi was moved.

Fang Jifan said again: "So, the root of the problem is not His Highness the Crown Prince, how good he is, His Highness the Crown Prince just gave them a bite to eat and a way out. The root of the problem lies in the imperial court's neglect of them. Officials are arrogant from the bottom of their hearts. Ministers can see His Majesty's hard work, but these common people can't see it."

  Emperor Hongzhi was thoughtful, the weather was cold, Xiao Jing wanted to step forward and put a cloak on him, Emperor Hongzhi waved his hand, Xiao Jing had no choice but to back down.

  Emperor Hongzhi said: "The words of Fang Qing's family really punished the hearts of the princes in the temple and my heart."

  Fang Jifan said cheerfully: "The minister speaks out of righteousness."

  Emperor Hongzhi folded his hands behind his back and frowned: "I heard that the crown prince scolded me behind my back."

  Fang Jifan shook his head: "If there is nothing, I can use my name as a hero of the Ming Dynasty, Liu Jin and Eunuch Liu, to guarantee it."

   "You should be scolded!" Emperor Hongzhi popped out a word.

  Fang Jifan is happy.

  Seeing that Emperor Hongzhi's face was ashen, he was busy sullenly: "You shouldn't scold, you shouldn't scold, scolding is bad after all."

  Emperor Hongzhi said: "The essence of Western learning is the same reasoning, the same reasoning, is it like the prince?"

  Fang Jifan thought for a while: "The theory of Western learning has always been perfected by my disciple Wang Shouren. My son is a rough old man, what can he understand?"

Emperor Hongzhi said: "You, no matter what credit you have, you are willing to give it up to others. No wonder Ouyang Qing's family always talks about my teacher. I will hear the cocoon." He paused: "Forget it, I have three reflections on myself , Think about it yourself."

   After all, I went to Chengyu.

  ...

  Poyang Lake is 800 miles long, with reeds along the coast and connected water and lakes. Liu Jin looked up at the sky, wanting to cry but not crying.

  Here...is Poyang.

  He was arrested, his nose was bruised and his face was swollen, but soon, the news of King Ning's death came. Many thieves fled overnight, and someone took him with him.

He was brought to the lair of the thieves in Poyang Lake, but soon, the thieves dispersed and went to find their own way of life. Luckily, Liu Jin survived, but...Looking at the desolation within a hundred miles, Liu Jin took a breath Nose, a little cold, but he is still determined to live.

  The thing he regrets the most, his chicken leg, was snatched away.

   These days, I only eat some fried rice.

  His Royal Highness...I miss you.

   Liu Jin burst into tears, then, gritted his teeth, bent over, and flopped in the mud. After a while, he grabbed a crab, and the crab struggled in his hands. Liu Jin grinned...

  ...

  A fleet has slowly come from west to east. The huge fleet, with its sails full of sails, is heading eastward all the way.

  The sailors on the ship all had bright eyes.

   Now, the fleet has crossed Manlaka, which is Malacca of later generations. Seeing that Annan Kingdom is far away, they will then bypass Annan, resupply in Quanzhou, and finally go north all the way to Tianjin Port.

  The fleet sailing west for the second time will return soon.

   It's just that there were dozens of large ships when they went there, but the size of the ships when they came back was reduced by half.

  Thousands of people went there, but now, when they return, there are only 800 people. Some people died in the vast ocean, but more people stayed in the Golden Continent and Kunlun Continent.

On the one hand, some people really can’t bear the pain of returning home. On the other hand, the wealth there is unimaginable. It is an undeveloped NV land. Many people find that there is no need to work hard , even if you just sprinkle some seeds casually, you can get enough rations, not only that, there are few people there, even if there are aboriginals, the aboriginals have a lot of gold and silver, as long as they want, even just take a piece of cloth, they can exchange Untold wealth.

  Xianjian Bo Zhang Yanling stayed behind "by order". He led hundreds of people and began to set up camps in the original Spanish fortress.

  Shouning Marquis Zhang Heling and Zhou La obediently followed Xu Jing back to the voyage.

  Xu Jing has a heartfelt disapproval of these two people with bad records.

   But almost everyone in the fleet couldn't help giving their thumbs up when they saw Zhang Heling.

   Benevolence and righteousness!

  Shou Ninghou is really benevolent. All the gold and silver looted along the way filled two large ships, but what happened to Shou Ninghou? With a big wave of his hand, he gave everything to the sailors and sailors. He himself did not take a penny, did not benefit himself, and only benefited others.

Zhang Heling was unwilling to return to the voyage. He gritted his teeth and shed tears to urge the soldiers to go to the Jinshan Mountain, but everyone looked at the map, thousands of miles away, full of thorns, how could such a small number of people reach it? Go, don't go, Zhang Heling was about to cry, and suddenly felt like a second idiot. In the end, he had no choice but to be dragged onto the boat by sailors who were about to mutiny.

  Although he left behind his brother, the golden mountain is still far away.

   "I, Zhang Heling, will be back!"

  In the fleet, people hummed and cheered.

This group of people who came back from the new world has opened a new door, they danced excitedly, huge wealth, just in their cabins, piled up mountains of milk, countless jewels, countless spices, ivory, this one Coming back is enough to make anyone rich, even if there is a prodigal son in the family, he can't spend it all.

Xu Jing was in the cabin, wrapped in clothes, with a bronze hand, taking a pen: "Since the return voyage, the soldiers who have passed through the waters of Sumatra and Manlaga have been cheering endlessly. Compared with the first return from the Western Ocean, the morale is stronger. The sailors are profiting, and the soldiers are subdued, this..."

   Xu Jing fell into deep thought.

   This journey was enough to make him think.

  During the voyage to the west, everyone burst into tears. The endless loneliness and the suffering in the sea made everyone very timid.

  What I am looking for is not the wish of the sailors.

  But now...he suddenly realized that meritorious service may not be enough to motivate the sailors to sail thousands of miles.

  Xu Jing dislikes Zhang Heling very much, but he has to admit that Zhang Heling's method is more direct and effective.

  Papapapa...

  There was a knock on the cabin door outside.

"Enter."

   Zhang Heling caught the lice in his body, and came in casually: "Ambassador Xu, when can we reach Quanzhou?"

   "Soon, within ten days." Xu Jing looked at Zhang Heling calmly.

  Zhang Heling said: "Then when are we going to make three trips to the West?"

   "It depends on the arrangement of the imperial court and mentor."

Zhang Heling's eyes were red: "Hurry up, spring is coming, next time, bring more people, **** it, I'll do the math, it's a loss, everyone else has made a lot of money, I have a lot of money, I'll do the math carefully , I am still very poor."

  Zhang Heling watched over, blinked his eyes, and couldn't help but shed tears.

  I am pretty smart, but why was I so rich back then.

  However, he quickly comforted himself, he... is the person who owns Jinshan, don't care about this little money, what is this? When I arrived at Jinshan, I, Zhang Heling... Seeing the gold bricks on the ground, I didn't even bother to bend down to pick them up. These damned poor ghosts really have never seen the world. I, Zhang Heling, just fooled around and gave them dozens of boxes of gold. Silver, and a few cabins of spice and ivory, and they'll be content, stupid!

  Xu Jing smiled: "But I don't know Uncle Jianchang, how about it?"

  Zhang Heling didn't care much: "He's not around, I'm a lot cleaner, and my temper has improved recently."

  ………

  Set the alarm clock, but failed to wake up the tiger. He looked up at the time in his head and fell asleep again. It's so cold, I'm in bed. Ask for a monthly pass.
