The Ming Dynasty’s Prodigal Son - Chapter 1235

[1235. Chapter 1179 God’s favor]

Emperor Hongzhi pondered for a moment and said: “In this case, it costs tens of millions, which is not easy.”

For the other side’s successor, the accounts were only on the surface.

Just when everyone was throwing tens of millions of taels of silver into the water just to build a steamboat.

But they don’t know how many new materials need to be found in order to build this ship, how many times many mechanical parts need to be modified, and how many times it is necessary to repeatedly improve even the modification of the hull.

To a certain extent, the huge transformation experiments of these masters are all-round for the improvement of skills in all walks of life. Shipwrights, carpenters, blacksmiths… During the process of participation, countless new theories and new ideas are developed. Craftsmanship bubbles up like spring water.

Of course… Fang Jifan couldn’t say these things.

What everyone sees is this damn prodigal. Doesn’t he just have money? What’s the big deal about having silver…

I want to have so much silver, hum…

and then…they will never have so much silver.

Emperor Hongzhi also felt pain in his body.

In Xishan Jianye and most of the industries in Xishan, Lao Zhu’s family’s shareholding ratio is actually quite high. Some are owned by Emperor Hongzhi, and some are owned by the prince. But no matter who owns it, Emperor Hongzhi takes it as such. He has it.

After all, Xishan invested in this steamship. In the final analysis, he still has his own money.

Emperor Hongzhi sighed, looked at Fang Jifan and said, “What if the launch fails?”

“This…” Fang Jifan said: “Your Majesty, if it fails, there must be something wrong. Of course, we need to find out the reason. Then, Continue to improve.”

Emperor Hongzhi took a breath.

Want more money?

“This is a scientific method, constant trial and error, to find the right path.” Fang Jifan added.

“…”

Now… Emperor Hongzhi kind of dislikes science.

Emperor Hongzhi was silent for a long time: “On the day of testing the water, I will also go and have a look. If I don’t look, I won’t feel relieved.”

Fang Jifan nodded: “I obey the order.”

Fang Jifan felt a little uneasy.

Your Majesty, he sounds like a big overseer.

Fang Jifan was not sure whether the sea trial could succeed. If it failed and the perfectly good ship slowly submerged into the sea, it would be fun. He and Xiao Zhu would have to make people laugh for the rest of their lives.

But since His Majesty is going to go, I should make preparations as early as possible. When the time comes, I will cut a ribbon or something for His Majesty, click it, oh yeah.

Fang Jifan and Zhu Houzhao were about to leave.

Liu Jian and others also said goodbye, and a group of people left Fengtian Hall.

Liu Jian’s face glowed red, and he smiled at Fang Jifan and said, “Jifan.”

Fang Jifan hurriedly stepped forward and said, “What do

you want Mr. Liu to do?” Liu Jian took Fang Jifan’s hand and said, “It’s a bit cold here now, it’s freezing. But I heard that it’s still hot summer in Huangjinzhou, and the scenery is very pleasant…”

“Ah…” Fang Jifan tilted his head and thought for a moment, “This… I’ve never been there before.”

What a pity, in this life. Some of them have money, but due to geographical restrictions, they cannot go and see them. In my previous life, I was not limited, and I wanted to see the bigger world, but unfortunately… I was poor.

Liu Jian sighed: “Can your steamship also go to the Golden Continent?”

Fang Jifan said: “The original intention of the steamship is to reduce the distance… Of course, it can go to the Golden Continent.”

Liu Jian gave Fang Jifan a deep look: ” Work hard.”

After leaving these three words, he realized that Li Dongyang and Xie Qian were waiting for him, so he lifted his legs and left in a hurry.

Fang Jifan looked sideways and saw someone looking at him with resentment.

Looking at his angry look, it seemed as if Fang Jifan had raped him.

Fang Jifan was speechless, smiled bitterly, and said: “Shilang Liang, why didn’t you leave?”

Liang Chu said angrily: “I just ask, what happened to my daughter?”

Fang Jifan said hurriedly: “Very good, very good, your Majesty .”

Yuan Bingxue is smart and good-looking, tsk tsk…”

“The surname is Fang…”

Fang Jifan was shocked.

When I came to this world, to be honest, I had never seen many big girls in public, so… I was actually inexperienced. In this era, it was not allowed to praise other people’s daughters for their beauty, especially when I was still a young man. This is hooliganism.

Fang Jifan immediately lowered his head: “Oh, I mean, she is very good. Our Xishan Academy is a clean and pure place, so naturally she is very good. Qianyuan is very smart and learns things quickly. She can already recite this medical theory by heart. “As her ancestor, I value her very much.”

Liang Chu’s heart was already bleeding, he valued her very much .

He was about to cry, and wanted to stamp his feet and curse something, but finally lowered his head, as if defeated. Fang

Jifan

looked at Liang Chu.

Liang Chu was completely different and muttered: “I’ll leave it to you, little girl.”

“Of course…” Fang Jifan nodded and smiled: “Don’t worry, we are all a family.”

Liang Chu’s face twitched, but he looked helpless.

The daughter was still held in Fang Jifan’s hand.

………

“Ambassador Xu…Ambassador Xu…”

Someone hurriedly arrived at a woodshed.

Xu Jingzheng was uneasily writing down recent news in the woodshed.

This was Xu Jing’s habit. After going to sea, he would record every day’s rumors.

In the past few days, he had been anxious and worried, and at the same time he wanted to set up defenses to prevent further sneak attacks by the Francois.

According to his spying, this fleet is what Fran Machine calls the Invincible Fleet.

This fleet is almost the largest fleet in the history of Franji, and because Franji people attack each other, there are many island countries with frequent naval battles. Regarding the technology of naval warfare and the construction of warships, Almost a thousand miles a day.

Their shipbuilding concepts are all based on actual combat, they are equipped with a large number of artillery, and the combatants have extremely rich combat experience.

On weekdays, the enemies encountered by the Ming fleet were mostly isolated Franconian ships or ordinary merchant ships mainly engaged in cargo transportation.

And this fleet is the trump card of Spain.

The soldiers who landed on the French plane used the Spanish phalanx. They selected professional regular military horses and practiced day and night. The phalanx originated hundreds of years ago, but over the past few hundred years, it has been continuously based on Fighting on the ground, making improvements, and his tactics are at their peak.

This raid was completely unprepared by Xinjin, and the opponent was trained in an orderly manner and could advance and retreat freely. It was really a formidable enemy.

Now that we understand the opponent’s general strength and the opponent’s combat methods, then… we must establish an armed force to rival it in the Golden Continent in the future, but… how to supply it and how to organize it?

Xu Jing breathed a sigh of relief, and at this moment, he came back to his senses.

It was someone from the medical school who came…

Xu Jing’s heart sank and his heart skipped a beat.

Nothing…something will happen.

Duke Lu has been in a coma for half a month…and now…all he has to do is wait for the bad news.

Xu Jing’s face was as pale as paper, biting his lip, and walked out of Chaimen quickly.

Sure enough, it was a nurse from a medical school, who said: “Ambassador Xu, Duke Lu… wake up…”

“Wake up…” Xu Jing was stunned.

He stood there dumbfounded, in a trance.

“Ambassador Xu, let’s go and have a look.”

Xu Jing then followed the nurse top-heavy and walked quickly to the hospital, and then to a silkworm room where he was recuperating.

Here, there is a pungent smell of alcohol.

Fang Jinglong was naked and covered with needles. The other end of the needle was connected to the glucose solution in another place.

At this moment, he was blinking his eyes, and the severe pain all over his body made him unable to move.

Many wounds have become scarred.

At first, it was a blood transfusion that saved his life, but even so, he was still in a coma. Under the current technical conditions, he should have died long ago. Perhaps it was God’s favor.

The doctors immediately performed surgery on the infected wound and cut off the rotten flesh. After he passed out, he could use infusion to replenish his body’s nutrients. In his daze, it felt like an endless nightmare.

In this nightmare, only the images of Fang Jifan and Fang Zhengqing passing by like a revolving lantern made him constantly tell himself to be strong and survive. Before he saw Zhengqing marrying his wife, he didn’t see… Fang Zhengqing again. The descendants of the family have arrived.

And Fang Xiaofan, she will be getting married in a few years. She has always been in the palace, but I don’t know… I don’t know… what happened to her.

He finally woke up, and immediately thought of the guards who were protecting him before he fell. They were like crazy, protecting him and resisting fatal injuries again and again.

These old brothers…

Fang Jinglong didn’t cry. He just opened his eyes helplessly. Others still owed him debts. Blood debts must be repaid with blood.

Xu Jing hurried in and bowed down: “Student… I have met the master.”

Xu Jing shrugged his shoulders slightly, but he… cried.

This is a miracle.

The master is still alive. What does this mean? It means that the Fang family is virtuous and even God is caring for them.

Fang Jinglong couldn’t sit up and still looked tired. He bit his lip: “Hurry… hurry up and send the message. Hurry… send the message to my son. Tell him that his father… is still there… don’t let him I’m worried, it’s a long journey…ahem…”

Just to explain this?

Xu Jing was quick to understand his master’s mood. He stood up and stepped forward… and saw Fang Jinglong looking at him with burning eyes.

This was a heroic man. He always liked to grin, but sometimes he had a different kind of majesty. But now…he was extremely weak. He used all his strength: “We need to send him out urgently, and… …What are the casualties of the soldiers? Is Lao Qian still alive?”

Xu Jing was silent.

“Where’s Lao Li?”

Xu Jing remained silent.

Fang Jinglong didn’t ask any more questions. He actually felt very calm: “The doctor said that I can’t get angry. I must never get angry. I’m not angry at all now. I feel very peaceful. Well… nothing’s wrong. You don’t have to worry.”
