The Ming Dynasty’s Prodigal Son - Chapter 1679

[1679.Chapter 1597 The Master of Eternity]

When Emperor Hongzhi heard this, he smiled: “Since he is the successor of his vassal, he must be a master of the world and will shine for eternity.”

Fang Jifan suddenly showed a bitter look on his face, feeling depressed in his heart.

In fact, this is understandable.

After all, Fang Jifan has so many disciples, and they are all as talented as a crucian carp crossing a river. If nothing else, let’s just say that among his disciples who have become officials, some have created new learning, some have come up with The Wealth of Nations, and some have revised it. There are also people who have unparalleled poetry and poetry. They are all geniuses that are rare in a century.

Then… if the apprentice is like this, the master must be even more powerful.

It’s just that although Fang Jifan had many disciples, he had never cultivated books and had no life-long works, which was a bit regretful.

But now… Fang Jifan suddenly said that he wanted to repair books, which naturally attracted people’s attention.

But for Fang Jifan, this is not expectation, it is clearly pressure.

Fang Jifan had a sullen face and laughed awkwardly: “This…this…your majesty…I am just playing for fun.”

The ancients highly respected book repairing, and when they heard the word “book repairing”, they couldn’t help but stand in awe. After all…this is knowledge, And knowledge is inherently precious. After all, this is not the future. Knowledge is rampant. People who want to learn what they want to learn will naturally lose their aura.

But in this era, if someone is willing to teach you something, it is almost like a father. Why… It is precisely because learning is not easy and knowledge is a luxury.

This is why the disciples all regard Fang Jifan as their father.

Emperor Hongzhi was slightly reproachful: “What are you talking about? Even if you are talented and learned, how can you say that learning is just for fun? Is this something that can be played?”

Fang Jifan: “…”

Emperor Hongzhi said: “Since you need to cultivate books , we must correct our mentality, treat him as a very serious thing, and don’t have any idle mentality. The biggest dream of these many talented people is to “build a white jade hall according to the imperial edict, and ride a horse next to the palace wall.” , what a great honor. The word “wanwan” came out of your mouth and entered my ears. I regard you as a junior and don’t care about it. But if it spreads, what will others think? Rebellious ministers and traitors are afraid, so you can see how useful it is to compile books. I know that you are a great talent, and the books you have compiled will be beneficial to all generations. It is a pity… I have no talent, otherwise, why would you need to edit books? “

After such a lesson, Fang Jifan suddenly felt that Alexander didn’t know what to say. He thought for a moment, but said: “I don’t want to practice anymore, I don’t want to practice anymore…”

It’s not that Fang Jifan doesn’t want to practice, he has the intention to practice. Department book.

But how could I have known that it would cause so much trouble…

Damn it, do you really think of me as Confucius?

Fang Jifan shook his head hurriedly.

Emperor Hongzhi was a little angry.

What he didn’t like was Fang Jifan’s attitude towards learning.

How can knowledge be something you come and leave as soon as you say?

“You are the Duke of Qi, and you are my humerus. How can you change it day and night? This book must be repaired. Someone…”

Xiao Jing said: “My servant is here.”

“I ordered Fang Jifan to be the editor-in-chief and edit the book with peace of mind. After the book is completed, I will order people to pass it on to the residence newspaper…”

Fang Jifan: “…”

I really can’t afford to offend him, I can’t afford to offend him…

Fang Jifan was afraid and hurried out. palace.

Sitting in the carriage, I couldn’t come back to my senses for a long time.

In fact… he really had a playful attitude at first.

Who knows? I was just writing something casually. After hearing the news, my disciples took notice and ran to me when they had nothing to do, always wanting to find out what I was cultivating.

This matter quickly spread in Xishan Academy, so everyone among the disciples in Xishan Academy talked about it and talked about it, just waiting to see their master’s masterpiece.

The streets and alleys were buzzing with chatter.

Well now, even the emperor knows about it.

No…you have to go home quickly.

After returning home, he hurried back to his study and burned all the original manuscripts. No one knew that this was his handwriting.

After all traces were destroyed, Fang Jifan felt relieved.

But then…he had a headache again.

Now even the emperor has asked whether this book must be repaired, not to mention that people all over the world are paying attention!

What should I cultivate?

New to learn? Wang Shouren had already proposed it.

economics? Liu Wenshan not only wrote The Wealth of Nations, but also elaborated on The Wealth of Nations, which has yielded fruitful results.

Open your eyes to see the world and be the best in the world, uh… Xu Jing seems to have already done it.

These damn disciples have absorbed my nutrients and forced me to have no way out.

As for other advanced theories, Fang Jifan felt that… they seemed too advanced. After all… all theories were derived from reality, otherwise they would be castles in the air.

Fang Jifan then began to frown and sigh.

Your Majesty has assigned himself a chief editor, which is really a big trouble.

I’m afraid… the whole world will know.

You must know that this post of chief editor seems to have little power, but you need to know that since Emperor Taizu Gao, only cabinet ministers can hold this position.

The Central Plains Dynasty calls itself a state of etiquette. This state of etiquette comes from inheritance. What is inheritance? Isn’t it just a book?

With books, no matter how many alien races have been invaded, and how many dark and turbulent times we have experienced, as long as this book is still circulating, this root will always be there, and it will always shine again one day.

But now…

Fang Jifan decided to delay for a few days, and his temper became even more violent.

After waiting for more than ten days, someone came to the palace, and it was Xiao Jing himself.

Xiao Jing smiled and said: “Hello, Duke of Qi.”

Fang Jifan said loudly: “What’s the matter?”

“Your Majesty ordered your servant to come and ask how the revision of Duke Qi’s book is going?”

Fang Jifan: “…”

Xiao Jing smiled again: “My lord, this servant is just following the order. Your Majesty takes this matter very seriously. He has said over and over again that if there are any difficulties in the process of revising the book, you can just tell me Come out, the court will try its best to assist, this book is a top priority…”

Fang Jifan sighed: “I haven’t had much literary thought recently.”

Xiao Jing nodded: “Your Majesty knows that Duke Qi will always be tired, so you don’t have to. I’m too overworked. I’m here just to ask. I’m not in a hurry. If you, Duke of Qi, can’t fix it, just rest at home. But…”

Fang Jifan frowned and said, “But what?

” I don’t know who it was who said in front of His Majesty that you will go hunting in the back mountains with the Crown Prince in a few days. When His Majesty found out about this, he said, Duke of Qi… It’s better to calm down your thoughts first. The Crown Prince is doing nothing. But Qi Guo Gong has a huge responsibility. The whole world is waiting for Qi Guo Gong’s masterpiece to be released. You must not be… slack.”

Fang Jifan slapped the document and shouted: “You can’t even go out to have fun?”

Xiao Jing immediately said .

He said: “Ah, ah… Duke Qi, this is not what your servant said, this is what your majesty said. Your majesty is afraid that you will be distracted.”

Fang Jifan gritted his teeth and suddenly became happy again: “Okay, I understand, more than one. Months, at least half a month, I will be able to complete this book, okay, get out, if you dare to be an eyesore in front of me, don’t say I don’t give Xiaofan face, I won’t believe you until I kill you. “

Fang Jifan is scary .

The thing is, no matter how outrageous something is, it will be fulfilled if it comes out of his mouth. If he says he will beat you to death, he will definitely beat you to death. Not even Xiao Jing can guarantee his absolute safety.

Xiao Jing shuddered, and immediately said: “Yes, yes, yes…”

Fang Jifan sighed, this book is really impossible to complete without repairing it, and it must be repaired quickly. Otherwise, it will really be… Imprisonment makes no difference.

Fang Jifan did not dare to hesitate and simply hid in his study to write and draw.

Two days later, Wang Jinyuan came to the door and said: “Young master… there is a letter from Qufu… again.”

Fang Jifan only raised his head and glanced at Wang Jinyuan, and said: “Which piece of shit has written a letter?”

Wang Jinyuan He said happily: “It’s the one from Qufu… that one…”

Although Wang Jinyuan was a businessman, he was still very respectful to the sage Kong, so… it was difficult to call him by his first name.

Fang Jifan said calmly: “What did you say?”

“He said that he was criticized by the Duke of Qi, so he stayed at home for several days. He looked at the wall in the ancestral hall of his ancestors and thought about his mistakes. Now he has repented and talked about the teachings of the Duke of Qi. In fact, the Duke of Qi is the senior. He is a descendant of a saint, but he is really ashamed because of his age. Now he is in the palace, ordering the sacrificial officials to read the books to distinguish the seniority of the Duke of Qi. In addition, he also ordered people to bring some specialties from Shandong, and asked the Duke of Qi to accept them. He also said that the Duke of Qi was a senior, and if anything happened, just write a letter and give instructions. He was very impressed and wanted to ask Duke Qi for advice on many things.”

Fang Jifan pursed his lips and said, “I suddenly like to interact with the people of Qufu. No wonder everyone in the past dynasties likes them. There is something extraordinary about him. He said that if he has any instructions, just ask him? Isn’t this request a bit too much? I still want to send them all to Huanghuangzhou in order to promote the sacred knowledge…”

Wang Jinyuan was frightened. His face turned green, and he quickly waved his hands and said: “I can’t do it, I can’t do it. If so, how can we offer sacrifices to the Holy Master?”

Fang Jifan said: “I didn’t ask Yan Shenggong to go in person, I just asked his clansmen to go. , He is the direct bloodline of the Most Holy Master, but aren’t the other clan members the descendants of the Most Holy Master? Their family has such a large population…”

Wang Jinyuan: “…”

Fang Jifan thought in his heart that it had been rumored that Duke Yan Sheng had long been heard. The government is not good to my clan members. Except for the close clan members who have good clothing and food, almost all the distant clan clans have been reduced to tenants. Their situation is extremely miserable, and they are even trapped in their own status and can be exploited by the family master at will. This is fine, I Fang Jifan still respects the saint very much. Sending some of his descendants to Huangjinzhou can be regarded as allowing these poor people to live and work in peace and contentment.
