Prodigal Son of the Ming Dynasty

  Chapter 1528 Divine Medicine

  The Hanhai people also belong to the Tatars in essence.

   Therefore, although the appearance is solid, if you don't look carefully, it is difficult to distinguish it from the Han people.

   What's more, this person pretends to be an official, and his conversation is polite.

  Xiao Jing suddenly became interested: "Why is your surname Fang?"

Speaking of this, Fang Tangjin's eyes lit up, and he talked eloquently: "To be honest, there are not many people who dare to be surnamed Fang here, most of them are Liu, Tang, Wang, Ouyang, Xu, etc., but students I don’t believe in this evil, Qi Guogong is the person most admired by the students, although he is not his disciple, but I think that if one day, some of my descendants will be lucky enough to be admitted to Zhongxishan Academy and be included under Qi Guogong’s gate wall , so I changed my surname, followed Qi Guogong’s surname to Fang, and the students also compiled a genealogy, this family started from myself, and it will continue for thousands of generations.”

  Liu Jie: "..."

  Xiao Jing showed a smile: "Have the people here changed their surnames like you?"

"Of course." Fang Tangjin looked very serious, and continued: "Mr. Wang has set up many Tongwen halls here to encourage everyone to learn characters, and encourage those who can speak Chinese. Not only that, he also personally They brought a group of guards and brought potatoes. As you know, the land in this place is muddy and cold. It is impossible to grow food, but with potatoes, it is different. We all entrusted him. Thanks to the blessings, we can cultivate fields around here, and we don’t have to be precarious anymore.”

Fang Tangjin invited the two of them to sit down, poured a cup of tea for them, and continued: "What's more, the people of Ross are ambitious and want to kill our whole family. The tribes around here... hey... now, Mr. Wang is stationed in the city here to protect us. He not only teaches us how to farm, but the caravans also bring in countless goods. So we set up Tongwenguan to teach us knowledge. Not only that, for example, I am the first to enter Tongwenguan to study. After I finish my studies, I am lucky enough to be here as an official. But there are still rules here. If you can write, you will be taxed. The endowment can be halved, so people like me who are proficient in both Tatar and Chinese can be popular after paying the price. There are always people who ask students to help with their homework. There are dozens of catties of meat for the ritual of repairing."

  Looking closely at Fang Tangjin, it really looks oily and rich.

  He is very satisfied with his current state. There is food to eat in Gongmen, he has paid the value, and there are still oil and water to get.

   Learning Chinese has real benefits.

   What's more, the introduction of potatoes and farming skills, even under the threat of the Ross people, Wang Shouren brought the happiness group to protect all ethnic groups here, which is enough to make the people of all ethnic groups feel great gratitude to Wang Shouren.

  What Mr. Wang said is always correct.

   "In this way..." Xiao Jing frowned: "Isn't it possible to speak Chinese here?"

Fang Tangjin smiled and said: "It's probably possible. If you want to learn farming, sell the potatoes when you have a harvest, and buy leather goods to keep out the cold, you have to negotiate with people. Even if you are not familiar with it, you can listen to it more or less. A seven seven eight eight. "

  Speaking, Fang Tangjin became proud: "Of course, most people are only proficient, but I am different. I am a disciple of a sage, and I have read the Four Books and Five Classics."

  Xiao Jing listened, feeling horrified...

  There are millions of soldiers and civilians here.

  Naturally, he couldn't believe Fang Tangjin's one-sided words, so he kept his face.

   These two days, Xiao Jing only lived in the inn in the city, and went out to wander every day.

  The atmosphere of studying here is indeed very prosperous.

  As Fang Tangjin said, this is because reading can bring tangible benefits.

   Many strong men were also trained and mixed into battalions for defense.

  The high yield of potatoes ensures food for the people here. It is impossible to grow crops in this kind of muddy land, but now it seems to be a land of abundance.

  Four days later, Wang Shouren finally returned with a team of troops. He looked tired. A few days ago, the Ross people began to attack the gathering point near the west, but fortunately, the scale of the attack was not large.

  Wang Shouren organized countless rangers, and also went deep into the territory of the Ross people, constantly harassing them.

  Hearing that there are guests here, when he saw Xiao Jing, he couldn't help being slightly taken aback.

  Xiao Jing looked at Wang Shouren with a smile.

  He and Wang Shouren are old acquaintances. They had dealt with each other when they were in the desert.

  Wang Shouren's surprise was only fleeting, and he calmly bowed to Xiao Jing: "I wonder when Eunuch Xiao came?"

   "Just a few days..." Xiao Jing said again: "We are here to read out the decree, Wang Shouren, listen to the decree."

  Wang Shouren bowed down, and Xiao Jing read the will.

   When he learned that the emperor was going to recall him, Wang Shouren seemed to be content with the situation. In fact, he didn't care where he was, and he didn't even care about the size of his official position.

  In the freezing Ural area, Wang Shouren's biggest gain is that he can accompany this bleak and quiet thinking while he is busy with official duties.

  The more knowledge a person has, the higher the level of thinking.

  Xishan Academy is an excellent platform. Countless knowledge gushes out like a fountain, but it also allows Wang Shouren to stand on this higher level, opening a new door.

  Thus...he became more and more reticent.

  In this freezing mud, it is indeed easy to produce a melancholy and heroic temperament.

  Xiao Jing did not explain that he came to investigate this place by order.

  Seven or eight fans, in just a few days, have already found out the situation here very clearly.

  Xiao Jingdao: "Wang Bo'an, Your Majesty has a decree, please arrange it quickly, and come back to Beijing with us."

  Wang Shouren nodded.

   He doesn't seem to have much to arrange.

  He has handed over the affairs here to some of his disciples, and his luggage is also very simple.

  The person who stayed behind to represent Xingfu Group was Liu Jie.

  The mentor asked Liu Jie to come here, and the intention was obvious.

  Among the disciples, Liu Jie is indeed the most outstanding one under Wang Shouren's sect, not to mention that he has the experience of being a leader in Huangjinzhou.

   A few days later, Wang Shouren set off.

  He didn't ride a horse, but sat in a carriage, Xiao Jing was in the same carriage with him, and although Xiao Jing had a smile on his face, but... the report hidden on his body made him feel turbulent.

  Xiao Jing had to look at Wang Shouren with admiration, and always felt that there was something different about this person who was much younger than him.

  Wang Shouren, however, lowered his head slightly, as if in a daze, he was thinking.

  ...

  Fang Jifan, who was in the capital, hid in the Xishan Research Institute for several days, so that he couldn't care about the outside affairs.

  What is Fang Jifan studying? He is studying fish.

  Eatable kind!

  Of course...it is not in the traditional form of frying, stir-frying, etc.

   Instead, it was Zhu Houzhao who had disappeared for several days.

  Empress Zhang is weak. Although Zhu Houzhao is a bit willful, he is filial. These days, he has left everything behind and serves in Kunning Palace every day.

   It's been over a month.

  But according to the news from the women's hospital, Queen Zhang's health is getting worse.

  Fang Jifan was calm and relaxed. When the morning came, he hurriedly found Wang Jinyuan and asked directly, "Has the news been released yet?"

  Wang Jinyuan hurriedly said: "Master, let it out, now everyone in the street knows about your mother..."

Before Wang Jinyuan could finish his words, Fang Jifan sighed melancholy, and said with his hands behind his back: "Your Majesty treats me like a mountain of kindness, and treats me like my own son, and Fang Jifan, who lost his mother since childhood, has always treated her as a child." My dearest relative, seeing her like this now, really feels very uncomfortable."

The smile on Wang Jinyuan's face disappeared immediately, and he immediately said as if he was mourning his concubine: "Yes, yes, yes, the young master is right. Although the villain has no relationship with the empress, but thinking of the empress's body is so weak, it hurts... sharp."

  Fang Jifan glared at him: "None of your business!"

  Wang Jinyuan: "..."

  A few days ago, Fang Jifan asked Wang Jinyuan to release the news that the empress was weak, but Wang Jinyuan worked very hard. Although the young master scolded himself, Wang Jinyuan was used to it, and he would be scolded anyway.

  Wang Jinyuan said: "Master, this news has been released, the next step is to want to..."

  Fang Jifan said: "There is a sentence, I don't know whether to say it or not."

  The young master was so polite all of a sudden, which made Wang Jinyuan feel a little bit in his heart, and he couldn't help becoming vigilant.

   "Master... what are you doing?"

  Wang Jinyuan felt his heart beat faster.

   "Dog, now the city is full of news about the empress. This is talking about the palace, and it is a serious crime of beheading. One day the factory guards will care about it and follow the vines to find you. You just wait to lose your head."

   "Young Master..." Wang Jinyuan beat his chest and fell down in grief.

  Fang Jifan hurried away with a porcelain bottle in his hand.

  He hurried to Daming Palace and ordered someone to inform him, and after a while, he arrived at Kunning Palace.

  In the Kunning Palace, it seemed more solemn than before.

  Prince Zhu Houzhao and Princess Taikang Zhu Xiurong are both here. Emperor Hongzhi is depressed and doesn't think about eating and drinking. The Zhang brothers are also worried.

  Fang Jifan first found Emperor Hongzhi, and saluted: "Your Majesty, I wonder if your mother is feeling better?"

  Emperor Hongzhi looked melancholy. For more than a month, no matter what kind of medicine he used, there was nothing he could do. Instead, his body became weaker and weaker. Emperor Hongzhi felt helpless.

  He also pinned his hopes on Xishan Medical College, but Xishan Medical College could not find out what kind of disease it was anyway.

  Emperor Hongzhi shook his head, opening his mouth to speak.

  Fang Jifan said: "Your Majesty, my son... I have obtained a magic medicine that is more precious than gold. Maybe... you can try it."
