The Ming Dynasty’s Prodigal Son - Chapter 1463

[1463. Chapter 1389 Confessing the country to Lu]

“The clansmen choose the rest?”

Emperor Hongzhi looked at Fang Jifan in surprise.

He never expected that Fang Jifan would be so upright and upright.

This son-in-law… really worries about me.

Originally, the clan members were reluctant and no one wanted to go.

In order to curb clan clans and avoid causing trouble, the Ming Dynasty has always discouraged vassal princes from doing anything. To put it bluntly, they are just raising them like pigs.

Look at Zhu’s pigs. They are all big and round.

But now, all of a sudden, the national policy has been changed. It wants to enfeoff, let them create a foundation, and then throw them to the ends of the earth without saying a word. No one can stand it.

Fang Jifan is the son-in-law of Emperor Hongzhi, dear.

It would be great if Fang Jifan was willing to set an example at this time.

Moreover, Fang Jifan was so upright and upright that others could find nothing to say, so the enfeoffment went smoothly.

In this era, the capital was a good place, but in a remote place, even if one could become a local emperor, it would not be very attractive.

This is also something that Emperor Hongzhi needs to consider carefully.

Emperor Hongzhi looked at Fang Jifan with a suspicious look on his face, and then showed a happy smile: “You are indeed my son-in-law. I was thinking that even after the enfeoffment, you can’t leave. Let your father take over the feudal clan. However, I I plan to give you two fiefdoms, one for your father and one for you.”

Fang Jifan said: “Your Majesty loves me so much.”

Emperor Hongzhi thought for a while: “I am so worried about this policy of dividing the fiefdom. I understand, this enfeoffment is not only for the royal family, but also for me, the Han Dynasty. If the people of my Han Dynasty can spread their branches and leaves all over the world, then even if China loses, the blood of the Han Dynasty can be preserved. Difficulties are right in front of us, vivid in our minds, hey… How can there be any foundation for eternity in the world? Although ministers and hundreds of officials praise this every day, how can we really not be aware of ourselves? To give future descendants an extra way out, the cunning rabbit has three holes, don’t you think so?”

Fang Jifan thought for a while: “Your Majesty, I believe that it may not be impossible to build a foundation for eternity, and it has been impossible for all dynasties in the past. “Yes, it doesn’t mean that your Majesty can’t do it. Your Majesty is the dragon and phoenix among the emperors…”

Emperor Hongzhi smiled: “People are born, old, sick and die. The emperor is the same, and the dynasty is the same. Okay, stop talking about these unfounded things, and do your best now. “

He cheered up: “What has the prince been doing recently?”

Fang Jifan said: “Pharmaceuticals.”

Emperor Hongzhi said: “Have you had any results?”

Fang

Jifan murmured: “It seems so. There is no result, but… let him, my grandson, I let him go to the Ministry of Rites to observe the government, let him learn, experience and practice, there is no harm. He also participated in this enfeoffment, but I don’t know how the seventy-nine kingdoms divided by the Ministry of Rites are like. It’s really not easy to keep a bowl of water balanced. Zhang Sheng, the Minister of Rites, can only ask the emperor’s grandson to come

. The emperor means that the interests involved in this matter are too great.

There will definitely be people who are dissatisfied with the Fang Kingdom divided by the Ministry of Rites. They dare not take anything against the emperor. What if the uncles, uncles and cousins of these emperors can’t take anything against you, the Minister of Rites?

The most difficult thing to deal with is housework.

Therefore… the emperor’s grandson must personally take action.

Emperor Hongzhi sighed with emotion and waved Fang Jifan to leave.

Immediately afterwards, the entire court began to be in chaos.

There was almost a lot of commotion over the issue of enfeoffment.

The worst thing is Liu Jian, people come to his door all the time.

All those princes.

The princes stayed there and refused to leave. Some said that they had old illnesses and were in poor health and needed more care. Some people say that they are afraid of the dark at night, so they need to sleep with their concubines under a quilt. However, their bodies are too weak to bear the bumps and turbulence, so the largest treasure ship must be prepared for them, the kind that can withstand wind and waves.

Some people cry when they meet, and they can’t find any clues.

Liu Jian was too frightened to go home and stayed in the cabinet all day long.

The officials in the court underestimated the fighting power of these princes. They took advantage of every opportunity and looked for any connections they could find.

Even Emperor Hongzhi was helpless towards them.

At the end of the month, the edict came out, showing seventy-nine square states, including twenty-seven large ones and fifty-two small ones. A map of the world marked their locations.

The so-called generosity and smallness actually don’t mean much.

Because this thing has no boundaries at all, a place is designated for you to build a city. Of course, there are existing ‘cities’. For example, in many places, immigrants have already set up a settlement.

As for the outside of the city, there are ‘natives’ all over the place. The scope of your activities depends entirely on your own efforts.

If you don’t work hard, maybe…the natives will burn your whole family.

The clan members can’t tell which one is good or bad.

I just remember that Fang Jifan wanted to go to Kunlun Continent. This Kunlun Continent was extremely popular. There were a total of 13 Fang Kingdoms in Kunlun Continent, and they were all snatched up at once.

The next most popular spot is the southern part of Golden Continent.

It was developed relatively early, and the Ming Dynasty’s fleet arrived for the first time. Relatively speaking, there was no danger.

The worst is in the northern parts of Australia and Golden Island.

Australia is said to be a desert and the natives are very savage. Therefore, there are only four Fang Kingdoms there.

The most terrifying thing is the northern part of Golden Continent.

Not only are there a large number of natives there, but… the Spaniards have established settlements there one after another. The Spaniards are not weak in fighting power. The lessons of Xinjin City are clear to everyone. Maybe, once they arrive, The Spanish army and horses arrived.

Further north, it is a cold and freezing place. Under the current conditions, it is not worth developing at all.

After all the clan members rolled up their sleeves and divided it up.

What was left to Fang Jifan… was this place.

The country’s name is Lu.

The location is probably near the Great Lakes.

This prescription country is alone, with only two Fang countries.

After Spain suffered setbacks in the Southern Golden Continent, it has been operating in the northern part of the Golden Continent. If it is close to there, there is always the danger of being attacked by the colonists.

When everyone saw Fang Jifan’s position in Fang Kingdom, they suddenly… felt at peace.

No matter what, no matter how miserable it is, can it be as miserable as the Fang family?

Both Lu and Qi were besieged on all sides. This place… had no minerals discovered and was extremely dangerous. Thinking about it, it actually made people feel very excited.

Emperor Hongzhi had probably seen the map, but he was also worried about Fang Jifan.

When Fang Jifan was summoned to see him, he couldn’t help but said to Jifan: “Jifan, this place is a place of great danger. Otherwise, I will change my fiefdom.”

Fang Jifan shook his head: “If your majesty changes fiefdoms, then the other clansmen will… Are you willing to accept it? They will definitely start a quarrel again. Those who are consciously dissatisfied will have to ask your Majesty to give them a change. This is the only way for your Majesty to resolve the dispute.”

Emperor Hongzhi heard this. He

couldn’t help but sigh: “If this is the case, you will be wronged too much.”

Fang Jifan shook his head: “My son is a little wronged, it’s nothing, as long as it doesn’t embarrass your Majesty.”

This is his son-in-law, look at him, He never asks for benefits from himself. He always rushes forward in the most difficult and difficult places.

Such a loyal and honest person is really hard to find even with a lantern.

Emperor Hongzhi sighed for a moment, and his eyes were slightly red. He glanced sideways and glanced at Xiao Jing: “Xiao Jing, you should learn from Jifan, so that you can win my heart.”

Xiao Jing smiled lightly: “Oh.”

…

As soon as the news came out, Jingli became excited.

I heard that the princes have all been enfeoffed, and there are no princes in the capital, as well as countless collateral clans and countless followers, which has caused some market fluctuations. Especially the price of the mansion is actually a little loose.

Of course, what everyone is most concerned about is where the Fang family will be sealed off.

After learning that Lu and Qi were entrusted to the north of Golden Continent, the printed map of the world suddenly became a hot seller.

A man like Fang Jifan, who also took the world as his own responsibility, would certainly not be immune to the jealousy of mediocre people.

Everyone bought a map of the world and found the location. When they looked at it, they made a “chick” sound and started laughing.

What a pleasure.

Fang Jifan, you too have today.

From now on, if you, the entire Fang family, go there, there is a high probability that you will be slaughtered by the natives and Spaniards.

Many clan members were unhappy at first. After all, the guards and slaves had to go to the fiefdom first, and the city had to be built. Within five years, the vassal would be taken over.

But now when he saw Fang Jifan, he suddenly felt at peace.

When Fang Jifan returned to his family’s residence, he began to prepare for the construction of the city. A large number of Fang family members also had to move there.

However… the Fang family has only been passed down for several generations, so the number of people is a bit thin, which is different from other vassal kings.

For example, the kings of Zhou, starting from Emperor Taizu, the first generation of kings of Zhou were very prosperous. Now, after several generations, in addition to the kings of Zhou who inherited the title, there are several county princes below them. There are hundreds of auxiliary generals and lieutenants. These people all have their own guards and servants. They can easily pull up a team of tens of thousands of people.

Fang Jifan held his chin, thoughtfully.

Wang Jinyuan, on the other hand, was indignant: “Master, this is too bullying. The master has made so many achievements, why should he be entrusted there? Master… Master…”

Fang Jifan said: “You know nothing!”

Wang Jinyuan shut up immediately.

“This is a good place. It is not the South Golden Continent. It is located in a hot place and the land is rich. You can easily climb the trees and pick wild fruits to make people full. However, my young master’s fiefdom needs to be cultivated before planting. Produce food, but only in this way can the people under the rule know how to invest and produce. The people of Lu and Qi will be good in the future and will not be as lazy as the people of Nanjinzhou.

” …”

Fang Jifan added: “Being surrounded by powerful enemies can cultivate their blood, strengthen their bodies, and make them have a sense of urgency instead of being distracted… Let’s not go on about this now, the most important thing right now is …Does my Fang family have any relatives?”
