The Ming Dynasty’s Prodigal Son - Chapter 1532

[1532.Chapter 1455 is indispensable]

At this time, as soon as something happened here, the nearby Wucheng Soldiers and Horses Division came in a fire-fighting carriage.

There were large barrels on the back of the carriage, and the large barrels were naturally filled with water for extinguishing fires.

It’s a pity that the fire spread too quickly, and by the time they arrived, the place was already reduced to ashes.

At the same time, the staff from Xishan Medical College also rushed over anxiously.

It’s just that…

when they saw the ruins of the wall that were almost burnt to black, they seemed to feel that their trip was in vain… There were no bones left, and there seemed to be no need for treatment.

Countless people witnessed all this with their own eyes, and everyone could not help but feel chills running down their spines.

It is said that the sound of the explosion can be heard ten miles away, and the flames of the explosion can also be seen in the city.

The people from Xishan Medical College had no choice but to lift Jiao Fang and hurriedly put Jiao Fang into the car.

Fang Jifan was very anxious. Although he didn’t like Jiao Fang, even though this dog-like thing dared to steal Xishan’s new medicine, but…

Fang Jifan still acted on humanitarian sentiments and told the medical staff: “Be careful and give first aid quickly. To save her life.”

The medical carriage quickly took Jiao Fang away.

Emperor Hongzhi was in shock and finally regained his breath.

This explosion was too terrifying.

Emperor Hongzhi looked at the ruins-like scene, his eyes were dark and his face was solemn, as if he was thinking about something. Then he looked around and said: “Go back to the palace, deliver the decree, and summon all officials, civil and military!”

What happened in Beijing !

For such a major event, of course, all civil and military officials must be summoned. In addition… the issue of this new drug… also needs to be decided.

………

The officials had naturally heard the news a long time ago. At first, a lot of rumors spread among the people, and everyone couldn’t help but have speculations. When Emperor Hongzhi wanted to pass the news to the civil and military officials, everyone felt more at ease.

The ministers filed in, and then went to Fengtian Hall. Emperor Hongzhi had already ascended to the throne, his eyes bright.

There were quite a few people who only knew that there was an explosion in Beijing, but they didn’t know why the explosion occurred. They were all at a loss.

Those who knew about it were in a state of confusion. Even if they were well educated, at this moment, deep down in their hearts, they could only think of “f*ck”.

Emperor Hongzhi took a deep breath and looked at one person: “Jifan.”

“My son is here.” Fang Jifan bowed and saluted.

Emperor Hongzhi said, “Let’s talk about the Jiao Mansion first.”

“Yes.”

Fang Jifan felt at ease when he heard that his Majesty asked him to speak.

He raised his voice and said: “I and His Highness the Crown Prince, out of concern for the country and the people, developed a new medicine. Unexpectedly, this new medicine was stolen by people from the Jiao Mansion and hid it in the Jiao Mansion.” . As a result, everyone saw that the new medicine exploded and the Jiao Mansion was in ruins. Seventy-nine members of the Jiao family died. According to statistics, they were all close relatives of Jiao Gong. However, no one with other surnames died, and they were injured.

“Now that the fire is under control, researchers have entered Jiao’s house and extracted the data. The results will be available soon. “

The new medicine… was stolen

.

Then, the new drug…exploded.

There was such a loud noise…

everyone in the hall took a breath of cold air.

This explanation, even if it is a drama, would not dare to be sung like this.

Someone got the point.

Such as Liu Jian.

Since Jiao Fang stole the new medicine, she had to blame herself.

Of course, it is still unknown whether it was Jiao Fang who stole it or Jiao Fang’s family members.

Anyway, now everyone in the Jiao family, except Jiao Fang, is dead. No matter how you explain it, it’s all Jiao Fang’s fault. Jiao Fang is considered dead, but it’s not necessarily a serious crime.

Liu Jian didn’t like Jiao Fang, but deep down, he still sympathized with her.

After all…this is a disaster that will destroy the family.

Liu Jian asked a more important question: “How many new drugs did they steal?”

“Not many.” Fang Jifan gestured, it was only one jar, less than a hundred kilograms.

People gasped again in shock.

The power of this explosion may not be possible even with thousands of kilograms of gunpowder, but this is only a hundred kilograms of new medicine, which directly destroyed the hundred-acre mansion. The new drug… is so terrifying.

Liu Jian suppressed the shock in his heart and asked: “Is this medicine gunpowder?”

Zhu Houzhao stood aside and knew that people would question this, but he was very confident. Anyway, it seems that the test has been successful, and the next step is Constantly experimenting, making improvements, recording data, and constantly improving.

Therefore, even if it was revealed to the world, Zhu Houzhao felt confident and said confidently: “Is gunpowder not medicine? If it is not medicine, why do everyone call it gunpowder?”

This reason…

Liu Jian: “…”

However, Soon, Liu Jian adjusted his mentality and realized that there was no point in worrying about this, because at this time, he saw the eyes of Ma Wensheng, the Minister of War, shining brightly.

The Ming army made a lot of use of firearms. Starting from Emperor Hongwu Gao, they began to use them extensively. By the time of Emperor Wen, there was already a specialized firearms army. After that, in order to guard against border troubles in the north, Ming Dynasty deployed a large number of firearms.

But now, such powerful gunpowder has appeared, its power is more than ten times that of the past. This is a great thing.

Emperor Hongzhi had realized this a long time ago and said: “This gunpowder is indeed medicine. There is no point in worrying about it. I have witnessed the power of this new gunpowder with my own eyes today. It can be said to be like a mountain falling apart. It is shocking. This is the power of the country.” This research institute is an important weapon and must be carefully guarded. It must not be lost again.”

So Zhu Houzhao and Fang Jifan hurriedly said: “I obey the order.”

Emperor Hongzhi smiled and then said: “As for that Jiao. Fang, you dare to steal new medicine. This is a serious crime. Let the factory guards continue the interrogation. Thinking about it, there will definitely be a result.”

Emperor Hongzhi thought of something again and looked at Fang Jifan: “This new medicine can be produced. How much? Don’t think that I don’t understand anything. The power of gunpowder is different, so it needs to be adapted to the firearm. In this regard, the prince and his successor still need to work hard.”

As he said this, he stood up, feeling a little excited.

Just thinking about blaming these two guys for causing trouble for me just now, I couldn’t help but feel a little ashamed.

After all, it is still the self-righteous elder mentality that is causing trouble.

Those who respect their elders always think that the younger generation have not eaten as much salt as themselves, and are always worried about their words and deeds. To be honest, among the young people, except for Ouyang Zhi, Emperor Hongzhi can’t stand it.

I always feel that they are too childish.

But the reality is…

Emperor Hongzhi’s eyes flickered back and forth between Zhu Houzhao and Fang Jifan, as if he had made a decision, and then he said with a straight face: “This is a great achievement, please pass on my will… “

This time, the prince and Fang Jifan were indeed wronged.

Therefore, Emperor Hongzhi said slowly: “Since the Duke of Qi succeeded the vassal and established the Xishan Academy, he has repeatedly made treasures that benefit the country and the people. He has made great achievements. It is appropriate to give him a reward to extend his life and a promise to carry him forward forever. The descendants of the descendants of Qi will enjoy wealth and honor forever, such as The mountains and rivers are eternal. Give them thousands of households to show their glory…

Emperor

Hongzhi has begun to have more and more pioneering ideas.

Rewarding ten thousand households was the most common reward during the Qin and Han Dynasties.

In other words, while giving the other party a title, you also need to have people support them. The so-called granting of ten thousand households means granting food.

But the problem is that there is no such thing as a food town in the Ming Dynasty, so how can people from ten thousand households be given to Fang Jifan?

As a result, all the officials were puzzled and looked at each other in confusion.

Your Majesty, have you read too much historical records recently?

This is against the rules.

But Emperor Hongzhi was obviously both the maker of the rules and the only person in the world who could change the rules without authorization.

Seeing that the ministers were puzzled, he felt somewhat complacent and said: “In the Ming Dynasty, ten thousand households were selected and ordered to move to Qilu, the Golden Continent, and allowed to be driven by them.”

Phew…

So that’s it.

Everyone finally understood.

Fang Jifan had a feudal state, and in the land of New Qilu, all the members of the Fang family and his clan moved there first.

It is said that a group of these Fang family members, whose ancestors have not interacted with each other for ten generations, have arrived at Golden Continent first and settled down.

Of course… As for how many died, only God knows.

Anyway, not all of them may die.

Now… His Majesty is particularly merciful, granting Wanhu a gift and allowing the Fang family to take Wanhu’s population to the Golden Continent. This is enough for Fang Jifan to gain a foothold in that dangerous Golden Continent.

After hearing this, Fang Jifan couldn’t help but said: “Your Majesty… Where did this… ten thousand households come from?”

“It depends on you. If someone is willing to go, you can let him go. In addition, those criminal prisoners , if you want to be exempted from crime, you can also be included in Ten Thousand Households. “

Criminal…

Fang Jifan looked left and right.

A bold idea suddenly came to his mind.

Among all the emperors in the country, the one he values most is the prince. Apart from his bad temper, this guy is simply talented. One person can be worth ten Spanish infantry regiments. How about letting him commit some crimes and then put him on a ship? ?

Of course, this thought is fleeting.

On the one hand, he firmly believed that if Emperor Hongzhi knew that he had this idea, he would chop himself into pieces and sprinkle some chopped green onion and salt.

On the other hand, although this guy is very powerful, the Fang family’s small temple cannot afford to support this big Buddha.

What Fang Jifan hated most was forcing people to migrate.

After all… this is a journey of thousands of miles, and it costs lives.

The members of the Fang family are all members of the same family. They were one family a thousand years ago. Everyone is a relative. Therefore, Fang Jifan can feel at ease and treat his own people without being polite. Relatives are only used to cheat, no, to help each other. .

But if someone was tied up and stuffed into a boat, Fang Jifan would be a little unbearable based on his kindness.

It’s just that the temptation of Wanhu is really too great.

Criminals can be criminals, there’s nothing wrong with that.

Otherwise… I heard that there are many people named Fang in Jiangxi… It is said… that they are also descendants of Shennong.
