Chapter One Hundred and Twenty-Three: Promotion
It is necessary for Emperor Hongzhi to ask this question. If the cost remains high, then the planting of melons in winter will have no meaning.
Fang Jifan said very realistically: "I am afraid that it will be difficult to estimate the cost for a while, but... I can use other materials to replace the required glass and try my best to minimize the cost. All this needs to be tried before I know it, but... I will do my best."
If you can't speak for yourself, you will be beheaded if you speak for too much. Fang Jifan is not stupid.
Emperor Hongzhi took a deep breath, and the pupils in his eyes contracted. After a long time, he raised his eyes and looked at Liu Jian.
Liu Jian said: "Your Majesty, if you can really plant fruits and fruits in this cold weather with the least cost, it will be a blessing for the Ming Dynasty."
The Grand Secretary of the Cabinet, especially when competing with the emperor, must be accurate even if he speaks a word or a word. Otherwise, if he is not careful, even if the emperor does not punish him, it will cause random speculation or misjudgment, which will be extremely serious.
But Emperor Hongzhi immediately understood Liu Jian's "Blessings of the Ming Dynasty".
He nodded with conscientiousness, and his eyes were slim: "Then, let's start trying to plant it immediately. If you can plant all kinds of fruits and vegetables, even grains and grains, I will definitely give you a generous gift." He raised his eyes and looked extremely solemn: "I issued an order to make Fang Jifan a contribution to the country. I am very pleased to give him Qilin clothes and be promoted to the official of the Yulin Guard's Hundred Houses, and build the Yulin Guard's West Mountain Hundred Houses, and the jurisdiction..."
Emperor Hongzhi paused: "The jurisdiction of the hundreds of households in Xishan is responsible for the matter of military farming in Xishan."
Specializes in military farming...
Fang Jifan was a little confused. He seemed to have been promoted. From the chief banner official to the 100-household official, this has been improved by a certain level.
The Yulin Guard is an imperial guard, which is different from ordinary military households. The level of ordinary military households is much lower than that of imperial guards. Moreover, the Ming military households were originally responsible for military farming, but they have never heard of it. The Yulin Guard's personal army was also responsible for military farming.
However, it is obviously...a thing for the first time to let the personal army go to the farm. His Majesty specially established a new organization, which shows his importance to growing vegetables in the greenhouse.
At this time, Emperor Hongzhi looked at Fang Jifan with a tense face and said, "From today, in addition to studying at the Zhanshi Mansion, you should also focus on this military farm. If you can really promote this method, I will give you a lot."
"My dear..." This is the rhythm of promotion and wealth. It is considered a double happiness, so why doesn't Fang Jifan be happy?
You know, although noble children like him seem to have a great future, at his age, there are very few people who can become officials of a family in the army and a few.
Thinking of this, Fang Jifan had nothing to do with him, so he said without hesitation: "I... obey the order."
Fang Jifan felt relieved and looked at Zhu Houzhao next to him. Zhu Houzhao seemed quite funny and couldn't help but say, "This melon can be planted, and my son also made great contributions. You might as well let the Zhanshi Mansion do the matter of farming."
Emperor Hongzhi glared at Zhu Houzhao, obviously disagreed with Zhu Houzhao's request.
However, Li Dongyang thought and said, "Your Majesty, the prince has this idea, which is the blessing of the court. Farming is the foundation of the country. Your Highness is both interested in this. You might as well place the hundred households of Yulinwei under the Zhanshi Mansion, and the crown prince will be the governor of His Highness."
Emperor Hongzhi thought for a moment and understood Li Dongyang's intentions. He smiled and said, "It's accurate."
Fang Jifan received the order and happily left the palace, but Zhu Houzhao still had to keep it, so he walked out of the palace alone.
Now that he has become an official of a hundred households, he will also be given the Qilin uniform, which is a vast world and great achievement.
When Fang Jifan thought of this, he was in a very good mood.
He really wants to do something big. He is the saying that if he is poor, he will be able to do things within his power. No matter how others view him, since he has a skill, he should do things within his ability for this era and for many people in this era.
As he walked, he thought, and walked out of the warm pavilion. As soon as he arrived at Jinshui Bridge, he saw a eunuch leading a man in front of him. He was wearing a bullfighting uniform, majestic and heroic. Fang Jifan only looked out from a distance and felt familiar.
The other party obviously saw him, and immediately blew his beard and stared at him, "Fang Jifan, what are you doing?"
It's British Duke Zhang Mao!
Zhang Mao was ordered to go to the Taimiao to worship on behalf of the emperor. Now that the mission has been completed, he came to the palace to return the order. Unexpectedly, he saw that Fang Jifan happened to come out of the warm pavilion and looked very arrogant, and he was immediately angry.
Although the stinky brat in the Fang family sometimes makes people look at him with admiration, Zhang Mao always feels itchy when he doesn't like him.
Fang Jifan saw it from afar and seemed to have seen a ghost, and he quickly tried to hide.
"Hmph." When Zhang Mao saw Fang Jifan like this, he said angrily: "You ran away from the temple where the monk ran away? You run to me and I will take a look, I will suck you."
It’s really not a reason. Fang Jifan thinks his life is quite sad, and he wants to beat me up? Uncle Shi, where are you bullying Fang Jifan?
Very good, I'm going to fight back.
So Fang Ji bit his teeth, turned around and ran towards the warm pavilion.
"What to run?"
Fang Jifan didn't dare to look back, but only heard the fierce voice behind him.
In the warm pavilion, Emperor Hongzhi was very happy. No matter what, he was somewhat guilty of the prince. What Zhu Houzhao did was the right thing, but he was beaten by himself. Although... the naughty child is sometimes annoying, but when he thought that his son finally understood something, he was indiscriminate, and he couldn't help feeling a little ashamed.
Emperor Hongzhi was full of expectations for the other party’s method of planting by Jifan. There were so many unexpected things about this guy.
This person...
Thinking of this, Emperor Hongzhi glanced at Zhu Houzhao, and was sure, but he didn't say anything. He just smiled and said, "Come on, taste this melon."
A eunuch had washed the melon and cut it into thin slices. Not... To be precise, it is not one melon, but two melons. One was bought from Zhu Houzhao and the other was sent from Kunning Palace.
Emperor Hongzhi stared at the melon that cost three thousand taels of silver each. I don’t know if it was his own illusion, but always felt that the melon that cost three thousand taels of silver was more fresh than the other one. I think it would be sweeter.
So, he pointed to the sky-high price of melon and said, "I'll try this."
The eunuch carefully presented the melons. Even Emperor Hongzhi was rich in all over the world. All the lands in the world were the kings and the ministers in the boundaries of the lands were the kings. But when he looked at the sky-high watermelon, he still ate it very carefully. He bit his teeth gently and the juice was in his mouth. A long-lost sweetness made Emperor Hongzhi feel happy, but...
Emperor Hongzhi's heart still felt a little painful. The sip just now would probably be gone for 100 taels of silver.
Since Emperor Hongzhi ascended the throne, he repeatedly issued an order to reduce the cost of the palace, and even his own robes, which had not been replaced for several years. The queen personally led the nobles to weave cloth in the harem. Although it did not reduce much cost, examples and examples were the true intentions. Emperor Hongzhi was an extremely frugal person. The more he did this, the more he felt a lot of pain.
"Come on, come on, come and eat." Emperor Hongzhi smiled and greeted Liu Jian and others: "You are all hard-working, but it is better to have fun alone than to have fun. Give melons to your family."
As he was speaking, a quick step came from outside. After a moment, an eunuch hurried in: "Your Majesty, Fang Jifan is back, please see Your Majesty."
Emperor Hongzhi wiped the corner of his mouth with a silk squid, and couldn't help but feel strange. He just left, why did he come to meet again?
He calmed down and said, "Call in."
Fang Jifan entered the hall and before he could salute, Emperor Hongzhi raised his hand and said, "No need to be too polite. Jifan, what should I do?"
This time, the word "Jifan" was used for the first time to call Fang Jifan.
Liu Jian and the other two stood aside, looking at each other, and knew something in their hearts.
Just like when a minister reports a letter to each word, every word needs to be choked, the emperor's words are even more like a spit and a nail. Every word is used is very cautious.
What is an emperor? The emperor is the power of the world gathers in one person. His every move, even his joy and anger, is related to the life, death, honor and disgrace of thousands of people. Countless ministers must always use His Majesty's words and deeds to guess the will of the holy people. It is precisely because of this that in order to prevent unnecessary speculation, a qualified emperor is desperately unwilling to express his inner thoughts unless... he hopes to express it.
This sentence of Sutra may seem to be no different to ordinary people, and they will not even feel anything unusual.
But for Liu Jian and the other two, and even to the eunuchs serving on the side, the wise men among these wise men realized that the holy intention had changed silently.
Of course, Fang Jifan did not realize this. Such a dedication to figure out other people's thoughts was really not in line with Fang Jifan's nature.
He gradually got used to the roles of Nan and Bozi, and gradually he couldn't tell which one was the original Fang Jifan and which one was himself.
People's habits will become, and this change is closely related to the environment around them.
At this time, Fang Jifan said: "I... I have something to report!"
Emperor Hongzhi was in a good mood and said gently: "But it's okay to say it."
Fang Jifan said with gaze: "Your Majesty has entrusted important tasks. Now I am strong and powerful. I am willing to do my best to do my best and not be afraid of hardships and dangers. Even if I go through fire and water, I will never give up. I will work hard to do my best to do this matter of farming..."
Well, when communicating with this guy Fang Jifan, it’s just a long story.
I don’t know where he learned this trick. At a young age, he was so singular and full of tricks.
Emperor Hongzhi touched his forehead and sighed: "Tell me the key point."
