The Ming Dynasty’s Prodigal Son - Chapter 1498

[1498.Chapter 1423 His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has achieved great results through hard work.]

. Seeing Fang Jifan standing by, he kept asking questions. Everyone looked at Fang Jifan, a little speechless.

Liu Jian’s face turned extremely ugly, and he glanced at Fang Jifan who looked serious.

He took a deep breath and gradually regained his senses.

In any case, his son… finally survived.

Even though he experienced pain, he was still alive.

Just stay alive.

Nothing is more important than being alive.

He couldn’t understand his son.

Perhaps as my son grows older, his inner world cannot be guessed by a person who has transcended an era.

After all, Liu Jian was well-informed, and he slowly came to his senses.

So, he thought of something and calmed down. He looked at Zhu Houzhao and Fang Jifan.

No matter how reluctant he was, it was undeniable that if it weren’t for these two guys, his son would probably have died without a burial place.

Without them, he would never see his son again.

Although after all the calculations were made, if Fang Jifan hadn’t fooled his son, he wouldn’t be here today.

But how to settle this account? His son is not a three-year-old child. He is willing to listen to Fang Jifan. He is not mentally retarded or mentally retarded. What else can he say?

This can only show that Fang Jifan has the ability to make his son obey his orders.

Liu Jian sighed deeply in his heart, and then saluted Zhu Houzhao and Fang Jifan sincerely: “Thank you, Your Highness, and Duke Qi. If Your Highness and Duke Qi hadn’t saved each other, my son would have died.”

Zhu Houzhao saw Liu Jian .

After bowing, most of the resentment he felt earlier was gone, and he smiled brightly and grinned at the person in front of him.

Fang Jifan on the other side said magnanimously: “It is a duty to treat illnesses and save people. This is nothing. Not to mention that he is my disciple. Even if Liu Jie is just an outsider, with my kindness, I will try my best to save him. So-called Saving one life is better than building a seven-level pagoda, so I’ll take it as a sign of good deeds for myself.”

Liu Jian sniffed and didn’t know what to say next, but somehow, his son’s life was saved.

Liu Jie is alive, which is a good thing for everyone.

Emperor Hongzhi and others breathed a sigh of relief. It was not convenient for Liu Jie to rest here. It was very close to the Zhenguo Mansion. Emperor Hongzhi moved to the Zhenguo Mansion, and all the ministers followed him.

Emperor Hongzhi seemed to have thought a lot during this journey. He sat down and looked around, but saw an unfamiliar face. He turned to a hunchbacked ‘old man’ and asked, “Who is this old man?”

The old man said: “…”

Fang Jifan looked at Xiang Laozhang felt many emotions in his heart, and then he sighed and said to Emperor Hongzhi.

“Your Majesty, this is Xu Jing, your disciple. This time, Xu Jing and your ministers sent Liu Jie here.”

The sea is the most destructive place, not to mention, as the patrol ambassador, he also needs to worry about the fleet and the Matters of every port size.

After all, he is a pioneer, leading a fleet to unknown areas. All systems have not been established yet. How to supply ports, how to train fleets, who can be used and who cannot be used, everywhere in the sea What is the hydrology like, which route has water thieves? All these things need to be investigated by Xu Jing, and then he selects people to establish a primitive system.

This not only tests a person’s leadership ability, but also tests a person’s endurance and perseverance. Facing all kinds of unknowns, it also needs to ensure the safety of everyone’s lives. Faced with this kind of pressure, the whole person’s spirit is tense. This kind of The pressure is not something that ordinary people can bear.

It can be said that Xu Jing has endured tremendous psychological pressure and mental anxiety over the years, and has naturally become older.

Emperor Hongzhi was shocked. At this moment, he opened his eyes wide and stared deeply at Xu Jingzhi.

He was impressed by Xu Jing.

Xu Jing used to be high-spirited and good-looking.

But… after several years of not seeing each other, Xu Jing has changed beyond recognition, and there is no trace of his original appearance.

He was completely unrecognizable. Emperor Hongzhi was shocked. He pursed his lips slightly and looked at Xu Jing more seriously.

From this point of view, Xu Jing’s hardships may not be less than those of Liu Jie.

Xu Jing stood up and saluted Emperor Hongzhi. He was filled with emotion and bowed down and said: “I have met your Majesty.”

At this moment, Emperor Hongzhi felt that his eyes were a little moist again, and he couldn’t help but raise his head. He tried his best not to shed tears, tried hard to calm down the emotion in his heart, and said word by word to Xu Jing: “All the members of the Fang family are righteous.”

He had praised him countless times today, but he still felt that I can’t praise you enough.

Emperor Hongzhi took a sip and thought about it, wanting to use some lofty words to praise them, but he thought about it countless times in his mind, and he couldn’t find any better words to describe it except this sentence.

Emperor Hongzhi then looked at Xu Jing carefully and asked seriously: “How is the situation in Xu Qing’s family and Huanghuangzhou?”

“It’s very bad.” Xu Jing said firmly.

Fang Jifan stood aside, originally smiling, but after hearing Xu Jing’s words, his face became elongated.

Emperor Hongzhi was surprised, raised his brows slightly, and asked confusedly: “Well, what’s wrong?”

Xu Jing said solemnly to everyone.

“A large number of soldiers and civilians migrated to the Golden Continent. Although the Golden Continent has fertile land, it is full of undeveloped land. There are forests everywhere, and there are countless snakes and insects. There are also hurricanes there. Once the hurricane strikes, everything will be destroyed. Nothing. The soldiers and civilians live along the port, surrounded by natives. The natives will attack the lone soldiers and civilians from time to time. Not only that, once they encounter a disease, although they bring many doctors from the medical school, after all… the conditions It’s also limited. Medicines are limited, food is limited, and even… a large amount of coal and iron have been found, but they have to be smelted into steel. The blast furnaces are not very skilled because of the lack of skilled craftsmen. “

Xu Jing paused and took a mouthful. spit, then continued.

“Needless to say, the Spaniards went earlier than the Ming Dynasty. They have already established a firm foothold in many places there. They even joined forces with some natives to stir up trouble everywhere. Their troops were deployed along the northern coast. “

They know more about the intricate shipping routes than we do. Several times, they took advantage of our unstable footing and attacked us.”

“Last year, there was an epidemic in Huanghuangzhou. Fortunately, the epidemic subsided quickly, but even so, the losses were huge. “

It is also tragic. There is also the problem of insufficient horses… These problems are countless. The prince of Xinjin has to deal with so many things every day. If one thing is solved today, three troubles will come to his door tomorrow. The soldiers and civilians miss their hometown very much. Someone has died, and his family members hope that the fleet will take the body back to their hometown, but the fleet cannot transport it, so they feel resentful.”

Emperor Hongzhi was silent when he heard this.

All the ministers in the entourage frowned.

Developing the Golden Continent is a national policy. Over the years, the imperial court has spent so much manpower and material resources.

But now it seems…

“But…” Xu Jing raised his head, his eyes shone with light, and he spoke solemnly every word.

“Even though there are many problems and countless bad news, on the fertile land of the Golden Continent, there is the Xinjin County Prince who works hard, leading people to reclaim the wasteland, and mounts his horse to drive away thieves. There are countless heroes like Liu Jie, who teach people knowledge. In order to build a medical clinic, they searched for herbal medicines everywhere. Many of the plants there were different from those of our Ming Dynasty. In order to build a blast furnace for steel-making, the soldiers and civilians went deep into the jungle to clear up wasteland and built farmhouses. In order to breed horses, some people eat and sleep with the horses all day long, and observe how the horses behave after arriving in the Golden Continent. They were all clean, but soon, people led the soldiers and civilians to rebuild their homes. When the Spaniards arrived, the soldiers and the people were united. The prince of Xinjin County came to the front. Heroes rose up one after another. The soldiers and the people were united. When the bell rang when they were attacked, the men raised their swords. Raise your guns and fight to the death. Even if the enemy is strong and we are weak, we will not retreat until we severely beat the Spaniards.”

Xu Jingpao said a lot, but he didn’t even stop for a breath, and he was so excited. said.

“In Huangjinzhou, the soldiers and civilians built more than 60 towns and more than a hundred markets, cultivated countless fertile fields, built medical clinics, schools, and iron furnaces. Men were of the same mind and women were of the same virtue. Scholars mounted their horses, farmers studied, craftsmen also cultivated wasteland in their spare time, women built bridges, and children paved roads, Your Majesty… Huangjinzhou lost its deer, who killed it, I dare not say, but I dare to say, since the prince of Xinjin County, the traitor If you don’t kill the last of the Ming soldiers and civilians, there will be no way to determine the Golden Continent.”

Emperor Hongzhi was silent again after hearing this.

All the ministers bowed their heads and remained silent.

Even Fang Jifan seemed to be deeply touched.

National policy is easy to say. In the Forbidden City, the emperor issued an order, and countless people migrated across the ocean. However… it was easy to write the edict, but it affected hundreds of thousands of people, and the difficulties they encountered were not easy. ah.

They are in Golden Continent and have no way out.

No matter what difficulties or dangers they encounter, they must grit their teeth and persevere and never retreat.

“This is what I saw in the Golden Continent. Your Majesty, please… take a closer look!”

Xu Jing raised his head. Even though he was hunched over and looked old, and his skin had wrinkles like the bark of an old elm tree, none of this could conceal his eyes. , the shining light, and the hope in his face.
