The Ming Dynasty’s Prodigal Son - Chapter 1533

[1533. Chapter 1456 Generous Rewards]

The rewards given to thousands of households were obviously well-intentioned by Emperor Hongzhi.

He was well aware of the hardships in Golden Continent. Since he wanted to place the Fang family there, his son-in-law and grandsons would have to go to the vassal territory sooner or later to join the vassal. Without a sufficient population, the future life and death would be unpredictable.

If the Fang family wants to run their own vassal state, they must first have someone.

So far, a large number of families have moved away, but are these people… enough?

This is what Emperor Hongzhi has been thinking about these days.

So… taking advantage of Fang Jifan’s meritorious service, he was given ten thousand households.

Ten thousand households means tens of thousands of people.

In the overcrowded Ming Dynasty, this was nothing, but if it was placed in the vast and sparsely populated Golden Continent, it would have a huge advantage.

Fang Jifan thanked him and was very happy.

Of course, he gave everything he had to the people of the world. As the saying goes, the silkworms will not die until they die, and the wax torch will turn to ashes before tears dry up. Burn yourself and illuminate others! But now there are old people at the top and young people at the bottom, so we have to be careful.

What’s more, it is a national policy to encroach on Golden Continent. Golden Continent has a large population, which will also have huge benefits for the future of the Han nation.

At this time, Emperor Hongzhi smiled and said: “In a few days, I really want to take you to see this new medicine. With such a new medicine, why should our Ming Dynasty be afraid of foreign invasion.” After hearing this,

Emperor Hongzhi and all the officials We are going to Xishan Research Institute to see new drugs…

Fang Jifan and Zhu Houzhao’s faces changed.

Zhu Houzhao knelt down with a snap: “Father, this… new medicine is a bit dangerous. Now… it’s not stable enough. Father, please don’t do it.”

Oh, it’s dangerous…

Emperor Hongzhi then remembered today’s new medicine again. It brought him earth-shaking fear.

He couldn’t help but take a deep look at Zhu Houzhao and Fang Jifan: “So the prince and Fang Qing are not sure, and the risk is completely ruled out?”

All the officials were also moved.

The prince and Duke of Qi, what kind of people are they?

How could they put themselves in danger.

Zhu Houzhao frowned and couldn’t tell for a while.

Fang Jifan, on the other hand, said: “Your Majesty, this new medicine is of great importance to our Ming Dynasty. It involves the foundation of the eternal world. However, the refining of this new medicine is quite difficult and must be personally led by the prince and his ministers. If the prince and his ministers take the lead, If Erchen is still timid and retreats when faced with difficulties, then how can other researchers be willing to develop it with peace of mind? This is a helpless move, but for the sake of new drugs, this is the only way Xishan Research Institute can do it for all experiments. There are very strict regulations for the storage of new medicines to minimize risks. This unfortunate explosion was all because these thieves stored the new medicines improperly.”

Emperor Hongzhi still frowned.

Although Fang Jifan said it lightly.

But he knew very well that there was still a lot of risk.

The son of a rich man cannot sit down in the palace, let alone the prince and the consort of the Ming Dynasty.

The body is delicate and the flesh is expensive…but these two guys still have no hesitation.

But Fang Jifan also made it very clear that if the two of them don’t fight desperately, then wouldn’t the lives of other people be their lives?

If you do great things but cherish your own life, things… will not be handled properly.

Emperor Hongzhi certainly knew that the power of this new gunpowder would bring about earth-shaking changes to the entire Ming Dynasty.

But…

Emperor Hongzhi sighed, feeling a little powerless.

Although he was uneasy, he found that these two guys were blameless.

The prince has a bad temper and will never look back on something he believes in.

As for Fang Jifan… Even Fang Jifan didn’t hesitate…

If it were other ministers, I’m afraid they would be scrupulous if they heard that there was danger.

Not to mention the prince, in order to share my worries and for the sake of the country of the Ming Dynasty,

Emperor Hongzhi instantly felt that the gift he gave to these ten thousand households was a bit too light.

He looked around and said with emotion: “This is a loyal minister. When I read history and see the deeds of loyal ministers and righteous men in ancient times, I am often moved by them. I can’t help but think to myself, how many such loyal ministers and righteous men are there in our Ming Dynasty? Looking at it now Come… My son, with the dignity of the prince, is willing to be a front-line soldier, regardless of his own safety. My prince-in-law, Captain Fang Qing, is also a model for others.”

The officials were silent, feeling a little complicated.

This…why does it sound a bit harsh?

But… no temper.

Emperor Hongzhi continued with emotion: “It is not advisable to cherish one’s life when doing great things. But as a prince and a prince-in-law, with such a rich body, you still need to take care of your own life. In the future, you must not act like this. , We must be careful and cautious as the first priority.”

It was rare for Zhu Houzhao to receive such a high evaluation from Emperor Hongzhi, and he responded happily: “I obey the order.”

Fang Jifan said seriously: “Your Majesty, I do not agree with this. I dare to agree.”

Jun Chen and others were also feeling a little emotional following Emperor Hongzhi. Suddenly Fang Jifan jumped out and said something inappropriate, which made everyone shocked.

Don’t agree?

This is not like Fang Jifan’s style.

Is it because this guy has made great achievements today, is inflated, and has taken some medicine?

Emperor Hongzhi suddenly lost his temper, but he still said in a friendly manner: “Successor, why don’t you agree?”

“Your Majesty said that when you read history, you will see how many loyal people there were in ancient times, and how many loyal ministers there are in the present day. , I secretly believe that it is right that there are not as many loyal ministers and righteous men as in ancient times. It is said that loyal ministers are missed when the country is in trouble. Most of them are gentlemen who are not wise, and the country is in crisis. Therefore, many ministers have withstood the test. , Stand up and live and die with the country, and generously go to the national disaster, these people are certainly admirable.”

Fang Jifan’s voice was like a bell, and his words were righteous, and he had a sense of justice and integrity. Just listen to him continue. : “But the current emperor is such a sage. He has eliminated border troubles externally. Internally, he is a guest of the world. He is praised by everyone. The people live and work in peace and contentment. I also read history. I have never heard of it since King Wu of Zhou Dynasty. In ancient times, there was your majesty.” Such a virtuous king, Your Majesty has been in the imperial court for decades, and the world has been in great rule. With these thousand-year achievements, our Ming Dynasty has no national crisis. When the country is in danger, it is far away and out of reach. It is precisely because I pay homage to the emperor’s holy wisdom. The ministers were safe and secure, so how could they test their loyalty? Therefore, the ministers came to the conclusion that loyal ministers often appeared when the emperor was in court, but when a holy emperor like your majesty was in court, the officials did not endure it. How do you show your loyalty when you are faced with a test? Your Majesty envies the generous people of ancient times just because you are too wise. “

“…”

That’s enough… this piece of shit.

All the officials were stunned.

He is really trying to find every opportunity and refuses to let go of even the slightest opportunity.

Liu Jian, who had seen so much of the world, felt that he couldn’t bear to listen anymore. His face changed slightly, and he was busy coughing to cover up his gaffe.

Coughs broke out in the hall.

Emperor Hongzhi listened carefully and chewed carefully.

Huh… another flattery.

But…it seems that there really is some truth to it.

Bigan died because of his remonstrance, because King Zhou of Shang was stupid.

Yu Rang was one of the four great assassins in history. He avenged the family leader Zhi Bo, so he kept his name anonymous, painted his body with paint to make his skin covered with sores, and swallowed charcoal to make his voice hoarse, making his appearance indistinguishable. Assassinate Zhao Nangzi. This is also because the head of his family, Zhibo, was dim and unclear and was eventually destroyed by the three families of Han, Zhao and Wei.

Su Wu herded sheep because the Huns were strong at that time and the Han Dynasty was unable to accumulate strength.

Yue Fei and Han Shizhong were so loyal. Isn’t this because the country was in turmoil and the Jin soldiers went south, triggering the Jingkang Rebellion?

And today there is peace, I am not King Zhou of Shang, Zhibo, and Huizong of Song. When the world is at peace, of course… there are no such people as Bigan, Yurang, Yue Fei, and Han Shizhong.

These words… are very reasonable, and it seems that they are not just flattering.

It is both pleasant to listen to and the truth is explained clearly.

Emperor Hongzhi smiled and said: “When future generations read history, they use history as a mirror and as a guide. What Jifan said is not unreasonable.”

After that, Emperor Hongzhi couldn’t continue to praise Fang Jifan. Instead, he seemed like a monarch and a minister. To compliment each other, at this moment, it is better to appear humble.

So he ordered all officials to retreat.

Zhu Houzhao and Fang Jifan escaped the fastest. They were anxious to know how much harm this explosion caused.

Speaking of which, I really have to thank Jiao Fang.

Previously, Xishan Research Institute had made many plans in order to obtain first-hand test results.

On the one hand, you can’t use people for experiments. This is harmful to the world.

On the other hand, even if it can be tested in deep mountains and old forests, the damage to buildings and gathering areas is still very limited.

It’s better now. The Jiao family has provided a house, which is a hundred-acre mansion.

People also provided, including a whole family of young and old.

Of course… no matter how evil the Jiao family is, this is still a tragedy and cannot be laughed at. At this moment, they should still show a little bit of sadness and show their humanistic feelings of compassion.

The two of them left the palace and rushed to Jiao’s house anxiously.

This place has long been blocked by the soldiers of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division.

Only the researchers from the institute began to enter the room after the fire was completely extinguished.

They recorded various data in detail, holding tape measures to measure the diameter of the crater and its impact on every place.

Even…detailed records of how many horses died in the backyard stable and the circumstances of their death were required.

Students from Xishan Medical College are responsible for collecting the bones and, if necessary, conducting dissections.

As soon as Fang Jifan and Zhu Houzhao arrived, Zhou Kang, the vice president of the institute, stepped forward and said happily: “Your Highness, Master, look at this data, it’s amazing, it’s quite amazing, it’s a success, it’s a great success…”

Fang Jifan’s face suddenly changed .

When he changed his mind, he raised his hand and gave him a slap: “You are like a dog. Why are you laughing? My whole family is dead, and you are still laughing. Where is your conscience, has it been eaten by a dog?”

………
