Xu Jing remained silent.

The former scholar with a bit of arrogance has long since disappeared.

The sea breeze wiped away all his water chestnuts.

On this boat, being in trouble with people made him understand everyone, no matter how despicable as Zhang Heling, open-eyed as Zhang Heling, stinky as shameless as Zhang Heling, cruel and shameless as Zhang Heling, he can actually sense that this person...is still as good as him. I am ordinary, and I am also a person of flesh and blood.

Any arrogance and disdain, or a sense of moral superiority, has no meaning in this vast ocean.

Xu Jing pursed his lips and smiled: "Shou Ninghou is still going to go to sea?"

As soon as Zhang Heling heard this question, he was heartbroken: "I will, of course I will." He said in his heart, I haven't recovered my capital yet, and I have suffered so many crimes, but I returned empty-handed, and what I was waiting for was the golden mountain.

"At this moment, Madam Zhang must be very anxious." What Xu Jing implied was that Madam Zhang would definitely not let Shou Ninghou take any more risks.

Thinking of Niangniang Zhang, she would definitely worry about her brother.

Xu Jing couldn't help thinking of his mentor. He felt that there seemed to be some kind of spiritual connection between himself and his mentor.

Mentioning his sister, Zhang Heling suddenly felt a little emotional: "Aside from being a bit stingy, sister, she is very kind to me." Zhang Heling sat down, lonely in the boat, caught someone, and couldn't help but want to talk about family matters : "Do you know how stingy my sister is? She is a queen, and she is reluctant to give something more to her brother. She usually takes advantage of the palace, but it is just a meal in the palace. Four dishes, one soup , Wrapped in lotus leaves, and took it away, I still have to tell you that if your majesty sees it, it’s not good. Is she my sister? It seems that everyone died as a family. After eating a few mouthfuls of food in the palace, I was grateful. Mrs. Zhang only knew how to take care of us and that, and she couldn't bear to reward a few more horses. There was also a bounty, such as fifty catties of gold, fifty catties of copper coins , what can I do now?"

Zhang Heling said with red eyes: "Our Zhang family brothers can only rely on ourselves. What a pity, if it weren't for this, why would we have to go to sea by ourselves, and Xishan...then Xishan...is it from our Zhang family? , Give it to Fang Jifan, take it, this is a robber!"

Xu Jing's face was stern, showing an angry look.

Zhang Heling was happy: "It's just your mentor, why are you angry, eh, that's all, I can't blame others, I can only blame my sister for being stingy, and blame my brother for being too stupid. I have to worry about everything myself."

"Ha, Daming, it's almost here, and I, Zhang Heling, am coming back again. Next time, I have to learn my lesson, take more people out to sea, and snatch the damn Frangji, and the Golden Continent, so many places, so what? Sow a handful of seeds in the field, and the crops will grow..."

Speaking of this, Zhang Heling salivated.

"Actually..." Zhang Heling was about to leave, and looked back at Xu Jing: "Actually, I really admire you."

"..." Xu Jing raised his eyes and looked at Zhang Heling.

"Can be fooled by that Fang, don't want money, don't want profit, just for a so-called... um... Is it the unity of knowledge and action or something?"

Xu Jing smiled, he didn't want to quarrel with Zhang Heling, he didn't agree with each other.

Zhang Heling left.

Xu Jing took a deep breath, he thought of his mentor, who now...doesn't know what to do...

But soon, he took out his pen and ink, and began to write carefully.

He wants to write a book, which is about overseas pictures. In this book, there will be countless experiences, and there will also be strategies for Daming from the standpoint of Ming Dynasty.

To curb the expansion of Francois, build springboards and station personnel on the islands between the continents, so that larger fleets can go back and forth freely... At the same time, endlessly, countless overseas strange Zhen, transported back to Daming to supplement the internal funds of the Ming Dynasty.

…………

One month later, spring began in Beijing, but there were still snow flakes.

Zhu Houzhao and Fang Jifan had already returned to Beijing with Shengjia, and they felt more comfortable with the weather in Nanchang after returning to the capital.

The evil wind in Nanchang is too strong, the temperature is obviously higher than that in the capital, but the evil wind always pervasive.

As soon as Fang Jifan arrived in Beijing, he returned to the Princess Mansion anxiously. Seeing that Zhu Xiurong was still pregnant, his expression eased. Fortunately, fortunately, he hadn't given birth yet, and the period of labor was only a few days away.

It's good if you didn't give birth, and you will come back in time.

Fang Jifan couldn't help but hugged Zhu Xiurong in his arms.

"What's wrong..." Seeing Fang Jifan, Zhu Xiurong was happy, but he was afraid that Fang Jifan would bump into the child.

Fang Jifan laughed loudly: "I made a bet with His Highness the Crown Prince, he bet that the child was born, I said not yet, tomorrow I will go to the East Palace to collect debts."

Zhu Xiurong smiled: "Don't be crazy with him. This time, I found out after the fact that you and your brother went to Nanchang. The queen mother was worried to death, and I was also very scared."

"It surprised you, it's for my husband's death." Fang Jifan said hurriedly.

Zhu Xiurong chuckled: "I wasn't surprised. Later, I realized that you are so amazing that nothing will happen to you. Look, sure enough, the good news came."

Fang Jifan crossed his hands: "Your Highness, don't always praise me. Our own family, it's okay to talk about it behind closed doors, but outsiders will be jealous if they hear it. You know, the world is dangerous."

Fang Jifan said again

: "I've made up my mind. These days, I'm not going anywhere, I just stay here with you."

"Have you thought about your son's name?" Zhu Xiurong couldn't help but ask.

"It's not just the names of the children, but also grandsons and grandchildren. I have already thought about it. Unfortunately, His Majesty does not allow me to choose it. Hey, Your Majesty is sometimes too arbitrary and has a bad temper."

Just as he was talking, an eunuch came, but His Majesty returned to the palace, and there was a decree.

Fang Jifan bowed down and saluted.

Then the eunuch took the imperial decree and said: "Fengtian Chengyun the emperor, the imperial edict said: I am ordered by the emperor to rule the world and rule the world..."

Fang Jifan’s ears can hear these nonsense. To be honest, this imperial decree is often the highest level of bragging. What is it? In other words, it is probably, I...Emperor Hongzhi, every day is like an elephant, who dares to refuse?

Seeing the impatience on Fang Jifan's face, the eunuch speeded up his speech: "Fang Jifan, the captain of the emperor's son-in-law, is the Marquis of Jinglu..."

"Wait a minute." Fang Jifan was stunned: "Where did Jinglu come from? There is no such place name."

However, almost all the marquises are based on the place names of the state capitals. They must not be sloppy. Fang Jifan is a relatively serious person, such as the Marquis of Fengcheng and the Marquis of Qingzhou. Controversy, who owns it.

The eunuch patiently explained: "Captain, this Jinglu comes from the Jinglu Guard in Hexi."

"Oh." Fang Jifan nodded, it turned out to be like this: "The Jinglu Guard, isn't it abolished?"

"This is His Majesty's intention, Captain, can you let the slaves finish reading the will?"

Fang Jifan is a reasonable person, nodding his head: "Okay, father-in-law, tell me."

The eunuch said: "Zhunqi town Hexi, where ten thousand households eat."

Fang Jifan frowned slightly.

Immediately understood the meaning of this time.

The land of Hexi was won back by Fang Jifan himself from the Tatars, and now the Tatars may not be willing to abide by the agreement. The land of Hexi, except for Lanzhou where King Su is located, is almost still in the hands of the Tatars. Yap is just a gimmick, but... it's also a reward.

The eunuch said again: "Zhang Yuanxi also shot and killed the traitor Zhu Chenhao. He made a great contribution and bestowed the new Marquis. To describe his meritorious service, his nephew Liu Erhan gave him two hundred catties of gold, and ordered hereditary command... The rest, such as Shen Ao, Yang Biao, Zhang Jin, etc., gave him a lot of gold."

Fang Jifan thanked him for accepting the decree, and said happily: "I am in trouble, father-in-law, do you want some tea?"

The eunuch waved his hand: "Don't dare."

"Oh, since that's the case, I'm about to enter the palace to thank you, so I might as well go with my father-in-law."

The eunuch nodded hurriedly.

Holding the imperial decree, Fang Jifan sighed in his heart, buddy...he was granted the title of Marquis again.

Although at the beginning, the Zhen Guo Mansion gave a marquis, but it was not on the right track. The officials of the Zhen Guo Mansion were all fucked up by Zhu Houzhao. Today is a bachelor, tomorrow is the governor, and the day after tomorrow is a general officer. Flooding, our Fang Jifan will follow you, Zhu Houzhao, and eat dirt sooner or later.

It's better that the imperial court has a well-organized system, and I suddenly feel that it is much more advanced.

Fang Jifan entered the palace excitedly, and when he arrived at the Nuan Pavilion, Emperor Hongzhi raised his eyes and glanced at Fang Jifan: "I knew you would come to thank him. It just so happened that Wang Ao made a performance just now. Let me show you this memorial."

Fang Jifan nodded and took the memorial.

Wang Ao was the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and was once the master of Emperor Hongzhi, with a detached status.

Fang Jifan looked down at the memorial, then fell silent.

"Jifan, what do you think?"

This memorandum is all about the court's effort to waste money and people in order to sail to the West. Ask the court to restrain some...

In fact, the words in it are plausible and reasonable.

After all, the imperial court was still very poor, and all the money and food were used to build ships. How would the people live?

Thinking about it, this is the voice of the vast majority of officials.

Of course...Fang Jifan just looked down and knew it in his heart.

In fact... Wang Ao did not criticize the voyage to the West.

After all, this trip to the west is to find 'seeds'. Seeds should be shared. With this kind of seeds, Da Ming will benefit from it.

The reason why Wang Ao wrote the letter was for money and food.

Think inside and outside the government and the field, who doesn't know that our emperor has money.

This time, if you want to conscript yourself, don't you just wave your hand and allocate money and food from your internal funds?

Emperor Hongzhi, this is showing his wealth.

Everyone didn’t realize it before, but now they are awakened. With so much money in your Majesty’s private treasury, it’s a huge burden for the treasury and the people to go to the West. Well, Your Majesty, I... Wang Ao, your mentor, the people Our spokesperson, I now ask you... to pay money!
