Fang Jinglong's matter is indeed big or small.

Emperor Hongzhi thought about it, he was too lazy to care about Zhu Houzhao's nonsense, and pondered for a moment: "Let's make an order, and see the effect."

This is already a great tolerance.

In the Han Dynasty, the emperor ordered the ministers to commit suicide.

But I don't know why the emperor warned so much, or the ministers are thick-skinned.

A normal warning is only equivalent to staying in school for probation.

Fang Jifan breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Emperor Hongzhi nodded and nodded: "I should also congratulate you, you have one more brother..."

"..."

Fang Jifan's heart sank.

Happy.

When I heard the news just now, I was still a little flustered in the wind.

Following the congratulations, Fang Jifan was a little dazed.

Probably, countless people want to see a joke.

This is also understandable.

Why can't my father marry a stepmother? Why can't I have a baby after marrying a stepmother?

This is human ethics.

How much he suffered for himself.

After I came to Guizhou, the string in my mind became loose. What's the matter?

I, Fang Jifan, still want to have a girlfriend and marry a wife?

Looking at many people looking at me with a bit of a weird smile.

Fang Jifan really smiled: "Your Majesty's congratulations are not worthy of me, but... I am overjoyed when I hear that my father is happy, I am very happy, why not hold a banquet at the mansion for a few days to make wine, If Your Majesty can condescend and have a glass of water and wine, I will be grateful."

"..."

Everyone looked at Fang Jifan and saw Fang Jifan's happy face.

A little confused.

Logically speaking...

Well, this guy is a person with brain disease, how can he use reason to deal with it.

He actually wanted to hold a banquet and let the emperor go.

Emperor Hongzhi smiled: "I don't have to go."

This is a matter of principle, if you really go, it's okay, wouldn't you encourage Fang Jinglong's shamelessness to have sex with a criminal?

This matter should be warned and warned, this is already a special kindness from the Tian family.

Fang Jifan looked regretful: "Is that so..."

This time, instead, Emperor Hongzhi fell into a passive position.

When he came out of the Nuan Pavilion, Fang Jifan was in a hurry, and Zhu Houzhao chased him out like crazy: "Old Fang, old Fang...are you unhappy?"

"Happy." Fang Jifan said.

Zhu Houzhao held Fang Jifan's shoulders, his mission swayed: "Obviously you have a sullen face."

"No." Fang Jifan grinned slowly, and a smile gradually appeared in his brows and eyes.

"Don't be afraid!" Zhu Houzhao patted Fang Jifan on the shoulder: "What are you afraid of? Don't you still have my brother? Go, eat whale meat."

The whale meat was sent together with Tang Yin's letter.

Don't eat for nothing.

Regarding this sudden news, Fang Jifan was actually a little bit at a loss in his heart.

Zhu Houzhao said: "Old Fang, in fact, it's time for you to marry a wife and have a baby." He stared at Fang Jifan, thinking that if Fang Jifan gave birth to a baby, it might make Fang Jifan feel better.

Fang Jifan smiled: "Does Your Highness have any candidates?"

Zhu Houzhao thought for a while: "Wei Guogong has a granddaughter..."

Fang Jifan shook his head: "I like gentle women..."

Zhu Houzhao said blindly: "According to what I said, it's all fake. When the lights are dark, they all look the same."

As he spoke, he blushed.

Fang Jifan suddenly thought of something: "Why doesn't Your Highness have a baby?"

"I..." Zhu Houzhao remained silent.

The prince lives in the East Palace, out of the idea of ​​passing on the family line, once he reaches adulthood, actually at the age of thirteen, the palace will select a group of beautiful girls to serve the prince in the East Palace.

People in this era have a relatively short lifespan, and men bear the responsibility of carrying on the family line. Therefore, for the prosperity of the descendants, Zhu Houzhao is the prince, and the emperor only has such a son... The result... It is naturally conceivable...

Historically, Ming Wuzong Zhu Houzhao did not have a son.

So……

What is the problem?

Fang Jifan asked this question deliberately, quite tentatively.

Zhu Houzhao hesitated to speak.

Fang Jifan deliberately laughed: "Your Highness..."

"Nonsense, let's talk about you first."

"Me..." Fang Jifan said optimistically, "I want to find a different woman, all the women in the world can't compare to her."

"Have you found it?" Zhu Houzhao became curious.

"I found it." Fang Jifan said.

Zhu Houzhao narrowed his eyes: "I will hire you on your behalf."

Fang Jifan shook his head: "Forget it."

"And why?" Zhu Houzhao was at a loss.

Fang Jifan sighed: "I...my disciples haven't been taught well yet, I have to teach them well. After getting married, they will become like children without a father."

Zhu Houzhao felt that his brain was not enough.

Always can't turn the corner.

……………………

Take up

city.

There is no huge port here, so the fleet can only anchor in the open sea, and then order people to go ashore by boat and paddle to buy supplies.

Hearing that an envoy from the Ming Dynasty had arrived, many people flocked to the beach to watch from a distance.

Xu Jing did not go ashore.

He locked himself in the cabin, he got used to the dampness and shaking in the cabin, and he also got used to the sound of rushing water under his feet, and soon, when he landed in Quanzhou, he took a deep breath, got rid of distracting thoughts, and landed Before, he needed to plan a reliable port along the route.

As long as a ship sails, it must have sufficient fresh water and food supplies. There are also many ships that need to be repaired along the way. If there are no supply points along the way, it will not be possible.

For example, if a fleet departs from Quanzhou and travels southward for thousands of miles, the food in the ship is exhausted at this time, so it must be replenished before it is exhausted.

There is nothing serious about a small fleet like myself, after all, there are not many supplies, but what about a large fleet?

And like the eunuch of the Three Treasures, 20,000 to 30,000 people go to sea at every turn, with hundreds of ships?

Then, where to stop and how to replenish has become a difficult problem.

He marked each one.

The first stop, of course, is Champa. After Champa, where should it be?

The location of the resupply should be negotiated with other countries so that they can prepare early, or Da Ming can solve this problem by himself.

After all, many countries are weak and poor, and it is unrealistic for them to search for so much fresh water and food.

The reason for bringing so many envoys this time... is these problems.

He was in the boat again and again, negotiating with the envoys of various countries, and the envoys of various countries, with their own thoughts, negotiated with Xu Jing.

In order to facilitate communication, Xu Jing deliberately asked his good brother Wang Xizuo to be on another ship for the time being, nominally saying that Wang Xizuo needs to watch over the food ship.

Dozens of countries along the way have different attitudes toward Ming.

Some had only heard of the Great Ming Kingdom from their ancestors at all, and they had no idea what this Great Ming was like, so they naturally reserved their views on such a request.

There are also some who have been threatened by the big cannibals or Franji. They know that Ming Dynasty does not have much ambition for their territory. At least... they are much more gentle than the big cannibals and Franji. I am very willing to promise some land to allow the Ming people to control Dashi and Franji, and they can't wait for it.

What's more, it is not so much a country as a tribe, and they have not formed a concept of the country at all. Before Xu Jing spoke, they nodded and gave as much as they wanted, but it was not their own.

There are also major countries such as Annan and Siam, but they are obviously vigilant about this, and they are ambiguous about it, and even directly oppose it.

What a... headache.

Xu Jing secretly recorded the general attitudes of all countries. Next, how to prescribe the right medicine is not in a hurry.

He walked out of the cabin, stood on the deck, and looked at the horizon far away. He couldn't help but think in his heart: "Men... what is he doing? Is he... okay? It's been two years, it's been two years Yes. In the past two years, I haven’t missed a single day that I don’t think about my mentor, and it must be the same for my mentor. My mentor... I’m coming back with a full load. Take a look at these ships. I’ve brought envoys from dozens of countries with me. Many craftsmen from Dashi Kingdom and Franji brought countless seeds they collected, and brought back a new air route, which can go straight to the ends of the world... I also brought myself back, I I'm still alive, I want to come... For the teacher, how many craftsmen, seeds, or envoys are not as important as the student coming back alive. Teacher... I, Xu Jing, kept my promise and went west all the way. The student... this Two years, not being able to serve my benefactor, I am really ashamed of my benefactor..."

Tears wet the skirt again.

When people leave their homeland, their longing will multiply, and the closer they are to their hometown, the longing will grow geometrically.

Xu Jing slowly closed his eyes, enjoying the blowing of the sea breeze, which dried the tears in the corners of his eyes, forming tear stains.

It's a pity that his bronze complexion has made the tear stains disappear.

He only pursed his shriveled lips, patted the side of the boat hard, and turned around, but Yang Jian stood behind him without knowing when.

"Editor Xu."

Xu Jing nodded.

Yang Jian sighed: "We... will return to our hometown soon."

Xu Jing nodded.

Yang Jian smiled bitterly: "Has Editor Xu thought about his own life?"

"what?"

"The voyage this time is for exploration, but next, the imperial court needs to go to the Western Sea again and again. Xu editor has rich experience in sailing, and he is also humble. In the future, the imperial court cannot do without you and me. In this life, we are afraid You're going to be adrift on this sea."

Xu Jing nodded.

"It's really scary..." Yang Jian looked depressed; "I'm almost home, I'm so happy, but I can't imagine that we will go to the sea again in a short time, so I can't tell... how uncomfortable..."

Xu Jing smiled: "What is there to be afraid of? As you said, this is our destiny. Since our destiny is like this, we should do our duty in a down-to-earth manner. The sea is full of dangers. If we don't go into the sea, there will naturally be others Going into the sea, if we don’t take this step, should we let our children and grandchildren take this step again? My mentor has always taught me that the four characters of family, country and world, family country and world, are easy to say. It is difficult to do it all my life. I have a teacher who teaches me, I am fearless, and I have to go to the ocean for the second time and the third time to make this day.

The whole picture of the world is displayed in front of my Daming. It is my wish to collect everything in the world to fill the treasury of the Ming Dynasty. For this reason, even if one day, I will be buried in the belly of a fish, and I will have no regrets until I die! "
