Chapter Five Hundred and Nine: If you have military merit, you will be named a marquis

For the people in the border town, the fear from the Tatars is really a deep memory.

Fang Jifan proposed to use balloons to fight. Of course, the significance of the battle is actually not very big, but it is more like the harassment of the Tatar Rangers.

The point is that this balloon can be used as an observation and as an early warning.

Emperor Hongzhi was shocked by the balloon and was moved: "I will order the Ministry of War to take a good look and develop a charter."

Fang Jifan said: "In addition, this balloon is more useful, such as...sightseeing..."

"Sightseeing..." Hongzhi was stunned.

Fang Jifan said: "Who doesn't want to get a glimpse of the whole picture at such a great world? So people climbed the peak and looked into the distance. But this is too troublesome. After placing a balloon and a stick of incense, people will go to the high place. The rivers in the world are so beautiful. It's better to have more insights when you see them."

Emperor Hongzhi was happy and sighed: "You are right. If I were not the emperor, I would inevitably cause countless people to worry when I climbed up, and I also want to go up and take a look."

Fang Jifan said: "The so-called "useful things are all used, and I am still thinking about what the balloon should be."

Emperor Hongzhi suddenly remembered something: "I still don't understand why this balloon can fly?"

Fang Jifan said: "Your Majesty, have you ever seen the water flowing?"

Emperor Hongzhi was silent.

Fang Jifan said: "When the water flows, it will produce force, so the boat can go down the water. The balloon borrows air, which is hot air, and gunpowder burns, and produces a lot of heat. In ordinary times, we cannot see or touch them, nor do we think they are of any use. It is like when we are cooking tea, the lid of the pot will be lifted away because of the hot air of the boiling tea. As long as I know so much, it can produce a force, so it is simple. As long as I think about how to collect it, it can naturally be used for me. In my opinion, this balloon is no different from a boat and a boat, as long as it can be used for me."

Emperor Hongzhi glanced at Xiao Jing in a wild manner: "Parent Xiao, boiling water, can you lift the lid away?"

"..." Fang Jifan was a little confused.

Xiao Jing said: "Yes, Your Majesty."

Emperor Hongzhi sighed: "Everything in the world can be used as a means of use. Today... I have been taught."

"Oh, there is another thing..." Emperor Hongzhi said: "Fang Qing family, I have issued an order. From today on, Fang Xiaofan, the sister of Qing family, will be carried into the palace to raise it. Your stepmother has gone to Guizhou. This child is too young. You are a man who has been carrying you all day long and is idle. Don't worry, Kunning Palace will take care of her properly. If you want to see someone, you can just enter the palace."

Fang Jifan: "..."

Should I show a sad expression?

But when you think about it carefully, this seems to be a good choice. Someone raises her children for her father. What's wrong with this? Furthermore, the person who raises her is the royal family. Fang Jifan couldn't help but say: "Xiaofan sleeps at night and needs someone to accompany her and needs to feed her breasts at any time; in addition, she has a bad temper, so you must not pinch her face. She doesn't like someone to pinch her face. There is also the need to sing when peeing. She loves to listen to songs. I... I come and sing. Can Your Majesty help me remember it?"

"..." Emperor Hongzhi thought this guy was too long-winded.

After thinking about it, this is a great hero: "You said that."

Fang Jifan cleared his throat and felt a little embarrassed: "Two tigers run fast, run fast, one without eyes and the other without ears. It's so strange, it's so strange..."

“…”

Emperor Hongzhi stared at Fang Jifan, who wanted to die in shame and anger.

But Fang Jifan really... loves to listen to this song. If she really enters the palace and enters a strange environment, she will definitely be uncomfortable. If she doesn't have a familiar voice, she will be afraid of it.

The Empress Dowager sat aside. At first, she was listening to Emperor Hongzhi and Fang Jifan's monarch and ministers. She was talking about Tatars, but she couldn't help but sang it. As she spoke, she started singing. The Empress Dowager looked at Fang Jifan and Zhou La laughed and said, "This song is good, I like it too, I'm singing it."

At this time, the balloon had slowly begun to fall and slowly floated down in the air. Yang Biao began to lower the iron anchor. The iron anchor clanged and broke a few bricks directly. Then, the back hook of the iron anchor was directly embedded in the soil drilled down. Yang Biao began to extinguish the fire in the valve, and the vine basket slowly fell down and finally landed on the ground.

When Liu Jin turned it out from this basket, he felt that his legs were on the cotton, his eyes were dull, and he repeatedly chewed the jerky meat in his mouth.

Zhu Houzhao rushed up excitedly: "Liu Banban, is it fun in the sky? Is it fun? Haha..."

Liu Jin finally came back to his senses and cried again: "Your Highness, I... I am so scared."

But an eunuch stepped forward and said to Yang Biao: "Your Majesty summoned me."

When Yang Biao was in the sky, he was so arrogant. When he heard His Majesty summoning him, he was nervous, and suddenly, the obedient kitten came to Emperor Hongzhi and was so scared that he didn't dare to show up.

Zhou Ladao: "This time, not only should we thank Xin Jianbo for his life-saving grace, Shen Ao and Yang Biao also made an indelible contribution."

Emperor Hongzhi looked at Shen Ao and then looked at Yang Biao: "Shen Qing's family will not be rewarded for the time being. From now on, they will be a family."

He glanced at Shen Ao meaningfully, then looked at Yang Biao with a solemn look: "I am very relieved that Yang Qing's family is so hardworking. Since it is an indispensable contribution, I will give hereditary thousand households to you and find a hundred households in the military farm."

Fang Jifan felt regretful, it was such a pity.

In fact, even if you give such a great achievement, you can get a title.

However, Yang Biao was not very lucky. Even if it was a great contribution, it would be difficult to win titles in the Ming Dynasty. Yang Biao made great contributions, but he was neither a royal relative nor a military achievement, and did not kill an enemy. If he had known this, he would have boasted for him that he had killed seven in and seven out of the Tatars, beheading hundreds of them. Well... it was almost the same. This number should be enough to win titles. Anyway, no one can verify this nonsense.

But Yang Biao was excited, hereditary thousand households... This is a strong job. In fact, the hereditary thousand households in the Ming Dynasty have actually become rampant. If there is no real military position, the top ten is just to receive a few more rations. But Yang Biao was still excited and burst into tears: "My mother said that a hero would not be a soldier. The emperor gave me a thousand households. I am grateful. I will serve the emperor in the future, and I will never frown."

"..." Emperor Hongzhi smiled: "Manipulating your flying ball well will be of great use in the future."

Emperor Hongzhi glanced at Fang Jifan and said, "Fang Jifan also has great contributions. Such great contributions should have been awarded. I am not a stingy person... It's just a pity... According to the system of the ancestors, those who have not beheaded thieves or barbarians will not be considered. If you are wronged and wronged, I will give you 200,000 gold."

"..." Fang Jifan was a little confused. Two hundred thousand gold...two hundred thousand gold...in fact, it was 200,000 copper coins. It was calculated in one thousand coins and one tael of silver. It was roughly two or three hundred taels of silver. Generally, the Ming Dynasty's inner court had to convert gold. What was it converted into the Ming Dynasty treasure banknote. The Ming Dynasty treasure banknote was depreciated so much. If the 200 taels of silver in the numerical value could be exchanged for fifty taels of silver, Fang Jifan had to rely on his usual reputation, otherwise no one would be willing to exchange it.

Fang Jifan took a deep breath: "Forget it, I am completely from the heart. Are you the one who died for the reward of Your Majesty? Your Majesty underestimates me too much. I am not a person who values ​​fame and fortune so much. Your Majesty gives me generously, so I will never dare to accept it."

Emperor Hongzhi looked at Fang Jifan deeply with a smile on his face: "You must be thinking in your heart, why am I so stingy, right?"

"I dare not, Your Majesty is already generous." Fang Jifan blinked, trying to make himself sincere, for fear that Emperor Hongzhi would not believe it: "Really."

Emperor Hongzhi smiled: "Hey, you should not favor one person in such a big world. You have made great contributions and the loyal and kindness of the Fang family. I naturally know that this time is indeed not a military merit... I have no choice but to do anything, and without rules, I cannot achieve a square."

Shen Wen, who had been by the side and was silent, could understand His Majesty's thoughts very well.

Sooner or later, Fang Jifan will soar into the sky.

But Your Majesty is unwilling to show him too much gratitude. This is because, since Fang Jifan became the young secretary, Your Majesty has made plans to let Fang Jifan assist His Highness in the future. If he is granted a title of marquis to him today, what should His Majesty be rewarded in the future?

The most embarrassing thing about being a king is that there is no reward.

Of course, Shen Wen didn't say anything. He pretended to be dead and made a fortune in silence.

My daughter is going to enter the Eastern Palace. His Royal Highness... is actually very good. Of course, it is just a little bit naughty, but so what? In the future... the Shen family will also have a queen.

Just based on this... Shen Ao's trip is worth living through life and death.

He couldn't help but look at Fang Jifan with gratitude. Now, afterwards, there was no Fang Jifan, and everything in the Shen family was really not there. Shen Ao was really lucky.

Emperor Hongzhi did not forget to encourage Fang Jifan: "Don't worry, as long as your family has made military achievements, I will definitely reward you!"

This time, he promised very well.

After all...is this just a promise?

Where is Fang Jifan? Going to find military merits?

Could it be that if I go back to Shanhaiguan again and kill a few Tatars?

This is simply an insult to my IQ.

Fang Jifan had a good mentality and would not give it if he didn't give it. He went back and encouraged the prince to carve a seal. Of course, he could not obviously encourage the prince. He needed to be indirect. Not to mention being a waiter, we, Fang Jifan, should be the Duke.

Fang Jifan looked at Zhou La with a gaze, as if saying, "Whoever has a surname is Zhou, do you have anything to say?"

Zhou La saw Fang Jifan's resentful eyes and wanted to say something, but he didn't say anything, but was scared and urinated. He lowered his head and pretended not to see anything.

This ungrateful thing!

Fang Jifan felt so angry that his teeth were itchy.
