Zhu Houzhao was anxious to take care of his crops.

But Fang Jifan called him.

Zhu Houzhao always had more patience to Fang Jifan than others, and said, "What else is there, what's wrong?"

"Your Highness, you have heard that many people are praising a prince, Suleiman."

"I don't know him." Zhu Houzhao disdained to take care of this.

There are more princes in the Ming Dynasty than dogs now.

He was not the son of the sect king, but the son of the vassal king.

The establishment of the new city and the construction of the commuter railway caused the capital to expand wildly.

Countless new things have begun to emerge, which has made it begin to dominate the world, whether it is population, prosperity, entertainment and convenience, it is second to none.

There are many Western emissaries, and many people came from afar. After seeing these, many people were happy.

The relatives of various vassal states, especially after the Ming Dynasty, suddenly became the idea of ​​cunning rabbits having three holes.

Those royal families were increasingly dependent on the Ming Dynasty. After all, the attitude of the Ming Dynasty was closely related to the vassal states to some extent. Life and death were at the front line. Many royal families did not dare to entrust negotiations with the Ming Dynasty to foreign surnames. They often appointed their own sons to the capital to detect the direction of the Ming Dynasty's national policies and communicate with the king and the bus.

These princes often come with a lot of money to buy Chinese houses, and when they arrive in the capital, they spend money like soil, and they feel uncomfortable.

This is their main responsibilities. It would be better to make friends with ministers and even to establish relationships with eunuchs in the palace. Therefore, they are extremely generous and generous, and are the main force of luxury consumption in Beijing at present.

Zhu Houzhao naturally looked down on them.

Fang Jifan looked at Zhu Houzhao's disapproval and said, "Prince Suleiman, this person is extraordinary. Your Highness must not look at each other. The most terrifying thing is that he was in the Ming Dynasty, contacted Confucians and asked many scholars for advice. He gained a good reputation among the scholars. I saw this person coming to my Ming Dynasty, intending to explore the way to enrich the country and strengthen the army."

Zhu Houzhao was surprised when he heard this: "Ah, since he is here to find a way to enrich the country and strengthen the army, why are he hanging out with a group of corrupt scholars?"

"Uh..." Fang Jifan seemed a little embarrassed.

Suleiman is a shrewd man. At this time, he was only a few years away from taking over the throne in history. In history, in a few years, he will become the monarch of the Ottoman and carry out his great achievements.

Such a person will definitely not be confused.

Fang Jifan tried to explain all this: "I think there is a possibility, that is... lazy."

"Be lazy..." Zhu Houzhao couldn't understand.

Fang Jifan talked freely: "What is needed to build a steam locomotive? People like me need to point out the direction, and the prince needs to be able to persevere for ten years. Of course, this is naturally far from enough. We need the military farm to continuously increase grain production and free a large amount of manpower from the land. We need steel workshops to produce a large amount of steel every day; we need Xishan coal industry, searching for minerals everywhere and mining. We need to gather a group of smart people.

People, let them overcome one problem after another. Of course, these are far from enough. We need countless silver to gather countless wealth in the world and continuously invest it in it. The amount of these silver investment is far beyond the scale of any era. Ten years ago, the income of the Ming Dynasty's treasury silver tax was only two to three million taels, and the investment of a steam locomotive, including thirty-seven parts workshops, as well as the Zhenguo government and research institute, cost tens of millions of taels of silver!"

"It's a lucky chance to be successful, because before we succeed, we spent countless gold and silver, used countless manpower, and... using countless technologies such as smelting and mechanical manufacturing. It took several years to ensure success. If it fails, all previous efforts will be gone. Your Highness, do you think it's easy to build a steam locomotive?"

Zhu Houzhao thought about it and said confidently: "With this palace, it will be easier."

Fang Jifan felt that this guy was here to argue, and said helplessly: "What I mean is that if Your Highness was a Gentile who came to the Ming Dynasty and came to the capital, he saw the prosperity of the capital, and the steam locomotives connected to the north and south of the capital, the giant spewed out the rolling smoke and carried a hundred thousand kilograms of cargo to live along the railway tracks, Your Highness would definitely feel shocked, and he would definitely be deep in his heart, hoping to learn."

Zhu Houzhao tilted his head. He really couldn't feel like a Gentile prince, because... he broke his head and could not imagine what those pigs were thinking about.

Fang Jifan knew that Zhu Houzhao's brain cells were not good at this, so he decided not to keep it a secret, so he said, "They want to learn, but people will want to learn when they see this. But... they know nothing about steam locomotives and have no way to talk about the construction of industries. And it is too difficult to let them devote the whole country to gather talents from all over the world, take out countless wealth in the treasury to study these things. They want to learn, but they don't know the reason, and they don't have the courage to rush to the boat. At this time, they will form a mentality of laziness... that is, learning culture."

Zhu Houzhao still felt that her mind could not keep up with this tone. She looked at Fang Jifan in surprise and said, "What does steam locomotive have to do with culture?"

"There is a logic here. Why did the Ming Dynasty build steam locomotives? This is because the Ming Dynasty worshiped Saint Confucius as his teacher and read the Four Books and Five Classics. The Ming Dynasty read the Four Books and Five Classics and became rich and strong. Therefore, if they also read the Four Books and Five Classics, they would not be sure, and they would naturally become rich and strong?"

Zhu Houzhao felt confused: "I still don't understand."

Fang Jifan admitted that Zhu Houzhao was indeed a genius in some places, but sometimes, Fang Jifan felt powerless towards Zhu Houzhao.

He sighed and had to say, "Your Highness, I can't stand it anymore. I'm more blunt, but there is nothing in the world that can be learned better than culture. It's hard to build a steam locomotive, but the Four Books and Five Classics are so easy to learn. It only takes a few books and takes ten days and half a month to read one or two. If you want to learn more thoroughly, then you can spend a few years reading it in your study. Why not just use a few years to speak up? Is this the easiest learning in the world?"

Zhu Houzhao finally understood a little and couldn't help but feel happy: "This is the reason, so they think that as long as they read the Four Books and Five Classics, they will naturally give birth to steam locomotives like the Ming Dynasty in the future?"

Fang Jifan said shamelessly: "Smart."

Zhu Houzhao laughed and said, "Haha, since that's the case, let them learn it. I will follow them to learn it. It's better to send all these great scholars to the vassal states. I've been tired of them for a long time."

Fang Jifan smiled and said, "But the key to the problem is that Suleiman's eagerness to study has aroused the favor of scholars. Now many people say that even the prince of the Ottoman Kingdom was so eager to study, and praised him very much. Even the Minister of Rites Zhang Sheng actually made a report in the past few days. He was very surprised by Suleiman's behavior and thought that this Ottoman prince was wise."

Zhu Houzhao was not angry at all, and even said happily: "Let them say."

Fang Jifan rolled his eyes at him: "Hey, the prince still doesn't understand. They are scolding the prince. This is called scolding the prince, which means that the prince is not as good as an Ottoman prince."

"Is that true?" Zhu Houzhao finally realized it and immediately...

He was angry, and the veins on his forehead revealed: "What do they know? A group of nerds. In the future, I will become emperors and clean them up one by one."

It is really not easy for Fang Jifan to wipe his sweat. It is so difficult for His Royal Highness to understand these things.

"So, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has to be careful these days. I don't know how many people want to take advantage of the issue. I have already thought about it and find a reason to report to His Majesty, expel Suleiman, and let him bring a group of great scholars with me."

Zhu Houzhao said oh.

Although Fang Jifan said so much, he had no interest in his mind. Just criticize him. If you criticize him, then criticize him. Who cares about you?

He said anxiously: "Okay, stop talking, what do they like to do, what do they do? If I don't look at the crops in my palace, I will be over. The group of dogs and things below are all frivolous. What do they know? If I don't go and make a mistake, it will be bad. Let's go, let's go."

After saying that, he turned around and was about to leave.

Fang Jifan: "..."

Fang Jifan sighed silently!

But at this moment, someone came hurried outside and almost collided with Zhu Houzhao who was about to rush out of the hall.

It was Zhang Xin.

Zhu Houzhao has been familiar with riding and shooting since childhood, and Kong Wu is powerful. Zhang Xin is fiddling with crops everywhere and has a very strong body.

The two of them collided with each other, and their strength was not small.

So Zhu Houzhao grinned: "I'm blind..."

Zhang Xin said, "Your Highness the Crown Prince...the young ears...the young ears are born, and it is a densely planted test field...the young ears are coming out."

Zhang Xin's face was overjoyed.

Even when he hit the prince, he didn't feel panic.

When Zhu Houzhao heard this...the young ears were planted in a dense manner...

Suddenly, he felt dizzy.

For the same acre of land, the amount of grain to be planted not only depends on the yield of each rice seedling, but now... the direction of the experimental field research is another way of thinking.

For the same acre of land, one thousand seedlings could be planted in the past, but if the method of dense planting was adopted, two thousand seedlings could be planted.

Of course, this was impossible in the past. The fertility of the land was only so much, and the nutrients could only barely meet the needs of a thousand seedlings. If it was planted closely, the final result would be that most seedlings would not survive.

But now...

It seems...the dawn is coming...

Zhu Houzhao was so excited that she started dancing and rushed forward, wanting to hug Zhang Xin.

As if he thought Zhang Xin was dirty again, he turned around and hugged Fang Jifan on the chair, and said happily: "It's going to be... Lao Fang...it's going to be."
