Chapter 328: Imperial Decree
Seeing Fang Jifan say three hundred and twenty-two years ago, Shen Wen’s first reaction in his heart wanted to curse!
This is like robbery. Even if I, Shen Wen, hired a teacher and taught his own children, it would only cost twenty or thirty taels of silver in a year, which was already the most important thing.
If you speak, you will be 300 taels. Are you still shameless?
But Shen Wen said with a pride: "Sponsoring the school and repairing the school is a good idea. I am a Hanlin bachelor and have long wanted to do something for the students. Now that Fang Xianyi nods, this is great. Fang Xianyi lost talent for the court. I was very pleased when I heard about it. Since this is the case, tomorrow, I will order someone to send the silver. Fang Xianyi must not dislike it. This is my little intention for Xishan Academy."
Although it was a bit ruthless, the Shen family had a lot of money. After all, the family was a big landlord. Even if they didn’t rely on their salary, they would not be under a lot of pressure to pay 300 taels a year.
But my son does not have fame and fortune.
Shen Wen can still figure this account out clearly.
but……
It still hurts when I paid the money. I originally wanted to contact Fang Jifan and tell me about my past when I was protecting his father.
But now, since we have already negotiated money, Shen Wen feels boring. Humph, the guy who has gotten into the money's eyes!
Shen Wen didn't have the patience to waste his lips and said no longer hesitated: "Goodbye!"
After this incident, half of the famous posts, Ruxuehua, arrived at the Fang family again.
This time the momentum is even more powerful.
This provincial examination really scared everyone.
This is a completely unrestrained pace of life.
Even some people who are good at studying at home and have some talent have begun to get interested at this time.
The dominance of Xishan Academy has made people feel a little more worried.
Think about it, even if you study well, it is difficult to guarantee the next imperial examination. The scholars and gods of Xishan Academy know what secrets they have learned to squeeze you down. Although their children are sure to win in high school, now they have so many competitors, it is hard to say.
Therefore, now the capital is walking around.
Fang Jifan was quite kind, so he decided to collect 150 scholars.
One hundred and fifty scholars are actually not a small number.
Of course, this is just the first issue, let's try it first.
Seventy-five people were given in three hundred taels of silver. Soon, Fang Jifan began to suspect that he was really a prodigal son.
Because three hundred taels of silver... it was like robbing. If I had known this, it would have been five hundred taels.
With the money, we can rebuild and renovate the college and build a new school building.
The other 75 people do not need money, but only Wang Shouren and others can choose it themselves.
These days, Fang Jifan has been so busy that he has not touched the ground.
The refugees in the Miyun area have already brought their families to Xishan.
In fact, there are not many people in their houses, just about 300 households and 1,000 people.
But the sudden arrival of so many people still makes Xishan a little stretched.
Your Majesty asked the prince to help the refugees, but nothing more than saying that no matter what method is used, you cannot let them starve to death.
But obviously, Fang Jifan had to think of other ways to do this more appropriately!
Early this morning, Zhu Houzhao and Fang Jifan joined forces to Xishan.
Liu Jin also trotted and followed him. He looked thin, but he was in good spirits. As soon as he arrived at the West Mountain, he magically took out an imperial edict: "Imperial edict!"
"..." Zhu Houzhao put her hands behind her back, showing her aura.
Fang Jifan was a little confused again.
Where did this come from the imperial edict?
But many people in the academy knelt down.
Then Liu Jin sang: "The Emperor of Congtian Chengyun, and ordered: The Crown Prince Zhu Houzhao was smart, kind and wise, and set up Xishan Academy, and had good teaching skills. Since he took charge of the Eastern Palace, he has fulfilled his position as the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace, and has great virtue and great achievements. I... feel no comfort in my heart, and I have given the Crown Prince Zhu Houzhao a scholar's fame..."
“…”
In fact, when Liu Jin was reciting the imperial edict, Fang Jifan was still half-believing and half-doubted, thinking in his heart that the prince had just been trying to die, so he wouldn't have healed so quickly and forgot to hurt.
But when he heard that Liu Jin was smart, kind and wise, and hardworking, Fang Jifan was already scared.
Damn... it's another fake edict!
Hearing that he was awarded the title of the prince's scholar, Fang Jifan felt a sweet throat, covered his heart and almost vomited blood.
Have you insulted my IQ? The emperor issued an order to give you the fame of scholars?
You are the crown prince, Your Highness, please have a little style?
Fang Jifan looked at Zhu Houzhao in confusion.
Zhu Houzhao held his hands behind his back and still looked happy: "Okay, okay, I've finished reading, thank you, thank you. My father was so polite to me, and I was inexplicably moved. He must study hard to repay my father's love. Liu Jin, Liu Jin, went to frame and hang it up, and listened to it. In the future, I will call my Zhu Xiucai in the palace. This is Your Majesty's will. Who dares not listen? My father said it personally and broke the dog's legs."
Well, everyone was stunned.
Emperor, I am spreading salt in my pants, so it hurts so much.
Appoint the prince as a scholar?
I have never heard of this in all dynasties.
Everyone, look at me, I look at you.
Suddenly, some people's eyes became deeper, maybe... there was a different meaning in the palace. Yes, it must be. Your Majesty is trying to show his care for scholars. The prince is Your Majesty's only son and he is named a scholar. Isn't it said that the scholars in the world regard him as his own? Is this the meaning of treating scholars as innocent?
Thinking of this, someone trembled. The emperor's heart is really unfathomable.
Everyone shouted long live the mountain.
When they stepped out, Fang Jifan's eyes turned red and he couldn't help but grab Zhu Houzhao's collar: "Your Highness, are you going to kill me?"
"Lao Fang, don't do this." Zhu Houzhao was pulled on her clothes, she was not given enough blood, her forehead was covered with blue veins, her face turned red, and she couldn't breathe, "Speak well if you have something to do."
Liu Jin said, "Fang Jifan, you are bold."
Fang Jifan glared at Liu Jin, and Liu Jin suddenly looked like a quail, and quickly lowered his head, not daring to speak any more.
Fang Jifan then let go.
Zhu Houzhao breathed heavily: "What are you doing? I am a scholar now. We should be gentle and gentle. Hu... Hu... Hu... Hu..."
However, Fang Jifan looked at Zhu Houzhao coldly.
Zhu Houzhao smiled embarrassedly: "Usually in the West Mountain, everyone calls me Xiao Zhu Xiucai. Now that my identity is leaked, if I call me something else, I am still not used to it, it is better to be Xiao Zhu Xiucai, kind. Don't be surprised, what is this? I am doing things for my father outside, so the so-called general outside, and the king's orders are not accepted! Okay, don't worry, if I get beaten, it's worth it, and I will never implicate you. I... No, I have figured it out, I am scholars, how can I flatter the king? Come on, beat me, and I am a scholar with a strong character."
“…”
After saying that, Zhu Houzhao sat down, took a sip of tea, and asked Liu Jin to frame the imperial edict. After observing it under the wall, he couldn't help but sigh: "The radish is rotten, and the seal is not well-sealed. Next time, I will get a golden seal. It's really not easy. Why did I become a scholar in a confused manner?"
"Lao Fang." He patted Fang Jifan on the shoulder and said, "Oh, be happy, don't be sad. Next time, I will issue an edict to you and I will be a juren. You are more knowledgeable than this scholar. I am very convinced."
"..." Fang Jifan was numb and curled his lips, "Tsk, even a dog from the Fang family can pass the imperial examination. What is the juren?"
"Ah, you are still cursing!" Zhu Houzhao said shamelessly.
Fang Jifan has been thinking about a question, that is, in the eyes of others, his impression has been greatly improved, but now he figured it out, no, with a scumbag like Zhu Houzhao, everyone knows that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is messing with him, and I am afraid that many things will never be cleared up in my life.
"Okay, now we have to do two things. One is to teach scholars to study, and the other is to resettle refugees." Fang Jifan took a deep breath, too lazy to talk to this guy. If you want to do something, just go and do it. He is a person with character in his heart, and he still needs to do a lot of important things.
"How to teach, how to place it?" Zhu Houzhao looked at Fang Jifan with shiny eyes.
Fang Jifan took a deep breath: "Unify knowledge and action!"
……………………
In the warm chalet.
Emperor Hongzhi took advantage of some leisure time and held a carrot in his hand, looking left and right, and he couldn't help but mutter in his heart!
Then he raised his eyes and asked Xiao Jing: "Can this carrot be engraved with seals?"
Xiao Jing was puzzled and said, "This...this...I don't know."
Emperor Hongzhi put down the radish, looked up at Liang blankly, and murmured: "This kid is really not a good-looking lamp. I asked him to resettle refugees. I don't know if the matter can be done. I can't make these refugees suffer."
"Your Majesty, Your Highness the Crown Prince is not such a person......" There was a confirmation sentence before, but halfway through, Xiao Jing began to doubt his life again, so he was silent for a second, and finally added the word "bar".
Emperor Hongzhi sneered: "Fang Qing family said that he wants to be alone, so I will see him, how to be alone, and you can send someone to keep an eye on it."
Xiao Jing was silent for a moment before saying, "I think I'd better not keep an eye on it. This factory guard is in the west. Wouldn't your Majesty do not trust His Highness? Your Majesty, what Fang Jifan said is to let His Highness let go. If you stare at it, you will lose your original intention."
"Besides, I always feel that the Crown Prince is not as unbearable as His Majesty thinks. He is a filial and capable person."
"Is that true?" Emperor Hongzhi was a little suspicious.
Xiao Jing said seriously: "That's right, Your Majesty has too many doubts. I use the head as a guarantee. Your Highness... will definitely share your worries with His Majesty..."
Emperor Hongzhi's expression calmed down a little.
He knew that Xiao Jing's words were more or less comforting, but when he thought about it carefully, he was his son after all. Was it really a mess as he thought?
But at this moment, a little eunuch was looking out.
Emperor Hongzhi saw it and gave Xiao Jing a wink.
Xiao Jing then sternly said: "What's the matter?"
"Dongchang...Dongchang sent a secret report..."
Xiao Jing looked at Emperor Hongzhi.
Emperor Hongzhi said lightly: "What's the matter? I'm so anxious, come and take it and take a look."
Chapter completed!
