.,
Fang Jifan has always been extremely sensitive to fiefs.
It's not that I don't want to.
but can not.
Think back to the beginning, when Zhu Yunqi wanted to cut down the vassal, all his relatives and nephews turned against each other, and blood flowed like a river.
Not to mention, fiefs with different surnames.
If the imperial court treats the clan like this, can it give the Fang family a fiefdom?
No matter how you look at it, it looks like a fat pig. It needs to be washed and cleaned, and then it will be a good meal, and then the rhythm of the Chinese New Year will be slaughtered.
After Fang Jifan's heart turned a thousand times, he immediately said: "Your Majesty, why did you say that, the father and son are utterly loyal to His Majesty, in the wind and rain, in the mountains of swords and seas of fire..."
Flattery is nice, but speaking is time-consuming. Emperor Hongzhi pressed his hand to interrupt Fang Jifan and said: "What I mean is...you have made so many contributions, and I have nothing to reward. The Fang family has made great achievements for my Ming Dynasty. How can I not give you a big reward?"
"In the past, I was stingy with you."
Well, it makes sense, it's a big truth.
Fang Jifan nodded subconsciously, and then shook his head quickly: "No, no, no, Your Majesty really has nothing to say to my son, stingy, I don't know where to start?"
Emperor Hongzhi smiled. He maintained his own rhythm and continued: "Do you know why? Because I thought you were too young at that time, and I gave you a generous gift at a young age. I'm afraid it will develop your arrogant temperament." .”
"As for me, I only have one son and one daughter. These are my close relatives and my blood. After my daughter married you, I will treat you as my own son."
Speaking of this, Emperor Hongzhi stood up: "What's more, you have made such a contribution. None of your disciples are loyal to the court and don't care about their own lives. They all have made great contributions. And these are not your credit. I have been thinking about one thing, and now I have figured it out, you are not young... You are the Fang family, my daughter, and a member of the Fang family, the Fang family... should have their own ancestral temple. "
Fang Jifan: "..."
The ancestral temple and the ancestral hall are two concepts.
The ancestral hall is the place where the general family worships the ancestors. And once it is upgraded to a temple, only the emperor and the king who broke the soil and sealed the border are eligible.
Fang Jifan felt a little cold, and felt more and more... a little dangerous.
He opened his mouth to say something.
Emperor Hongzhi said: "You must be very disturbed at this moment."
Fang Jifan immediately shook his head again: "Your Majesty is gentle and far away, and his virtue is universal. My son is in front of His Majesty, like a spring breeze. How can I feel uneasy, my son is very at ease."
Emperor Hongzhi smiled.
He knew Fang Jifan very well.
He was silent for a moment, then continued: "Today is different from the past, I have been thinking about a problem. There are ten thousand nations in this world, and I, the Ming Dynasty, live among them. I want to be the kingdom of the heavens, beyond the heavens, countless territories, Can I, Da Ming, take it all in? No, the world is so big that even Da Ming can’t take it all in. Therefore, Da Ming is naturally that same Da Ming, that heavenly state! The rest of the states will follow suit. Those who oppose it will prosper, and those who oppose it will perish."
After a while, Emperor Hongzhi took a sip of tea from the teacup beside him and said, "I was thinking again, that the king of all nations neither read Confucius and Mencius, but also had a different language and species from mine. ...How can you trust them? Since you can't trust them, then why, my dearest relatives, can't open up borders, but make them feel lonely?"
Fang Jifan slowly began to understand what Emperor Hongzhi meant.
Franchise?
This seems to be a precedent for imitating the Zhou Dynasty.
After King Wu of Zhou destroyed Zhou, in fact, the core ruling area of the Zhou Dynasty was not large, and the land of Kyushu was filled with the survivors of the pre-Shang period, Dongyi and various alien races.
In Zhou Tianzi's view, looking around, this Kyushu is full of enemies.
In order to expand the territory, the enfeoffment system was born.
Countless clansmen and heroes of Emperor Zhou were entrusted to various places, allowing them to establish city-states and open up new territories. On the land of Kyushu, vassal states, large and small, were established. Standardize, go up, obey the orders of the emperor of Zhou, go down, govern the people of the country, and go outside, fight through thorns and thorns and barbarians.
The current situation of Daming is somewhat similar to that of Emperor Zhou.
Although the current cabinet system can control the two capitals and fourteen provinces, and even the capitals, no matter how far away the distance is, if you want to maintain the rule, you will reach the limit.
For example, Kunlun Continent, if one day, Daming gets the land of Kunlun Continent, this Kunlun Continent is thousands of miles away from Daming, and if anything happens there, by the time their memorials come up, a year or so has passed, and this year Half a year later, after the cabinet drafted a vote, the emperor made a verdict, and the imperial edict was sent to Kunlun Continent, and nothing happened.
The only solution is that Daming needs an agent who can make decisions. This agent must have authority. After all, if authority is insufficient, who is willing to convince him thousands of miles away?
But authority is based on life and death, so once a person has absolute authority, he can not only control the army, but also promote officials, and even remove them at any time or even use punishment on people, then... this What is a person?
It's king!
Of course, since Daming felt that it would be very troublesome to confer such a vassal king, the big deal is that this piece of land should not be given up.
But no more... here
In the world, there will still be a king, because as long as there are people, there will eventually be a ruler.
This ruler is almost a local native. He has nothing to do with Daming, and he doesn't even speak the same language.
Then, compared to the emperor canonizing his own relatives, it is obvious that this 'outsider' is not the best choice.
Thinking about it, it was precisely because of this that Emperor Hongzhi had this idea in his heart.
In the past, in people's minds, the so-called world was only the land of Kyushu, so it was impossible to allow others to sleep soundly under the couch.
But now, the sky is big and the earth is big, and thinking is different.
Emperor Hongzhi looked at Fang Jifan's pensive look, and said with a smile, "I have figured it out these days. So..." His face became serious, and he continued: "I plan to call all the young clansmen to study at Xishan Military Academy Learn, let them learn slowly, in the future... it may be useful. Fang Zhengqing..."
When Emperor Hongzhi mentioned his grandson, he tapped the copy with his fingers lightly: "I also intend to let him study in the military academy. He is my grandson and my flesh and blood... Do you understand what I mean?"
Fang Jifan understood, so he felt relieved.
That's right, the emperor can't kill his grandson, he hurriedly said, "Your Majesty is wise."
Emperor Hongzhi smiled again, and said: "In the past, the imperial court was afraid that the clan would be capable, but now, I am afraid that the clan will not have any skills. Of course... now... it is too early to say this, I am waiting for your good news. Also..." Emperor Hongzhi pulled his face down: "Why has Xiurong remained silent since giving birth to Zhengqing?"
"This..." Fang Jifan opened his mouth wide, wanting to explain something.
Emperor Hongzhi said indifferently: "Do you have the same problem as the prince? Then...do you want to go to the medical school and have an operation?"
Fang Jifan shuddered, as if struck by lightning, his face turned pale instantly, his legs went limp, and with a click, he knelt powerlessly on the ground, his voice choked with fear: "No, no need , my son... my son will work hard!"
Emperor Hongzhi hummed, it was rare to see Fang Jifan being so cowardly, which actually made Emperor Hongzhi feel relieved, he nodded and said, "Remember, you are a single heir for several generations, and you want to stir up the family business. Son, how blessed you are, do you understand?"
"Your servant must be working hard, forgetting to eat, working day and night, persevering, and finally dying!" Fang Jifan slammed his head on the brick and vowed.
Only then did Emperor Hongzhi feel satisfied: "That's good, you have to understand my painstaking efforts."
"My son understands."
Emperor Hongzhi sighed: "You are the same person as I am. I only have one prince, but you still have a chance."
Fang Jifan heard the helplessness of Emperor Hongzhi.
Seemingly understanding but not understanding, he nodded.
He resigned resentfully, and when he left Fengtian Hall, he felt that his back was chilly, so scary.
Thinking of the important matter that His Majesty explained, Fang Jifan didn't dare to neglect, and hurriedly found Liu Wenshan, Liu Jin and his son.
Liu Jin looked radiant, but obviously...he lost a lot of weight.
Seeing Fang Jifan, I wished I could immediately bow down and lick Fang Jifan's feet.
Fang Jifan kicked him: "Dog, haven't you eaten? How come you lost weight?"
"Grandson... grandson..." Liu Jin said aggrievedly while lowering her head and rubbing her kicked knee: "Grandson has changed, grandson is no longer greedy."
Fang Jifan put his hands behind his back: "Stand aside and listen carefully."
"yes."
Fang Jifan looked at Liu Wenshan and sighed.
Liu Wenshan hurriedly said: "Master, why are you sighing?"
Fang Jifan said: "I'm thinking about the affairs of the Western countries. Your Majesty ordered the Xishan Bank to promote the precious banknotes. You see, how to promote the precious banknotes."
"There are two strategies." Liu Wenshan calmed down.
"tell me the story."
Liu Wenshan said: "First, draw it slowly..."
Well……
Fang Jifan was a little speechless, how could it be plagiarized from himself, Fang Jifan said: "One needn't be said, and the second is to destroy their own currency system and take advantage of it."
Liu Wenshan hurriedly said: "Master is really wise, it's true, the former will take a lot of time, while the latter... can be faster, as long as three years at most, and at least a year and a half, it will be effective."
Fang Jifan smiled: "Sure enough, you are indeed my disciple of Fang Jifan. As a teacher, I appreciate you more and more."
