Prodigal Son of the Ming Dynasty

  Chapter 1610 The general died in a hundred battles

  Fang Jifan was stunned.

  He really couldn't understand that the prince's thinking could jump like this.

  If you talk about Newton, you can still understand the truth of mechanics from the process of the apple falling.

  After all... this is a very reasonable thing, what is observed, what is discovered, and what is finally researched.

  But this Zhu Houzhao...has observed a book that is completely incomprehensible, but has such a whimsical idea. Fang Jifan has to admit that Zhu Houzhao must be a lunatic.

  But in this world, there is a thin line between a lunatic and a genius.

   Seeing Zhu Houzhao dancing, Fang Jifan couldn't accept it for a while.

Zhu Houzhao continued: "The question now is how to do the calculation, but it's not urgent. Those guys in the academy are stupid, but...it's not impossible. Lao Fang, I still have something to do. Let's take a step, goodbye, ah...by the way, there is one more thing..."

  He was about to run, but then he stopped, looked at Fang Jifan seriously, and said: "The dividends of the business company must be paid to me quickly, and my palace will be of great use."

  Fang Jifan heard Zhu Houzhao talking about money, and immediately became vigilant: "What does Your Highness want money for?"

  Zhu Houzhao took it for granted and said: ‘If you don’t have money, where do you get the talent and who will do research for you? "

   Well, this is the truth.

  Any investment in research first needs people, and people need a lot of financial resources. With good conditions, these people can concentrate on research and spend their entire lives studying the principles of everything. Then... Naturally, more people will be attracted to this arithmetic.

Zhu Houzhao said: "From your book, I just realized that the common people in this world value their interests the most. They don't have money, so they can't be manipulated. After all, there are too few people who do arithmetic. There are only more and more people." Proficient in arithmetic, those dull people can be driven to do calculations, and the smart people who stand out from them can open up new directions just like Ben Gong. In short, Ben Gong needs silver, so take it.”

Seeing Zhu Houzhao stretching out his hand toward him with an imperative look, Fang Jifan said with a smile: "Your Highness, don't be so straightforward, just say you are short of money, why bother to ask for money like this, I'll go back and check the account. It's supposed to be a lot of money from His Royal Highness. Your Highness, you should save some money on this money. You must know...we earn hard-earned money..."

  The word money fell, but Zhu Houzhao had already disappeared.

This guy…

  Fang Jifan shook his head.

  His Royal Highness, isn’t it just such a quick temper?

  Fang Jifan hummed the song, thinking that with a piece of eulogy, he would trigger such a huge butterfly effect, just like spring and autumn, bringing huge changes to the world. Fang Jifan's heart was full and gratified.

  So with a happy mood, I went back to Xishan.

  As soon as he got off the carriage, Wang Jinyuan greeted him: "Master, Zhou Tanzhi came to raise pigs that day."

"Oh..." Fang Jifan said calmly, "Let him raise them. Give him thirty or fifty heads. If they are well-raised, they belong to him. If they are not well-raised, the ugly words are the first, and I will personally Go clean him up. Oh, by the way, this Xishan Amusement Park can also add another project, called the Ministry of Rites Shangshu Raises Pigs, and tickets are charged. If you want to see it, go and see it. There are no rare things in this world, except this one. It has never existed since ancient times. You plan the site. Use bamboo fences to enclose the dog Zhou Tanzhi and his pigs. Set up a viewing platform nearby. The bigger the better, the distance is neither far nor close. Then let people sell telescopes nearby. "

  If it was in the past, Wang Jinyuan would jump for joy when he heard this.

In fact... it is not profitable to let people go to watch this place, but... the operation of this amusement park is essentially to innovate, and only by constantly launching new projects can it attract a large number of people. , and it is impossible to go back immediately. If you are not sure, you will want to experience flying **** or pick strawberries. If you are hungry, you have to find a restaurant to have a light meal. If you are thirsty, there are vendors selling sugarcane water and herbal tea along the street.

But today, he seemed a little apprehensive, and said in a low voice: "The young master is really wise, to have such a good idea, such an idea, even in eight lifetimes, even a villain would not be able to think of it. But... but... not just that week Tan Zhi, and the Grand Tutor Wang Ao also came, saying yes... saying yes..."

  Fang Jifan squinted his eyes when he heard this... He gritted his teeth immediately, this Wang Ao obviously wanted to keep him from stepping down.

   Zhou Tanzhi's raising pigs is His Majesty's will, and... he is indeed at fault.

  But Wang Ao is the grand tutor, he is not at fault and has a great reputation, if he also came to raise pigs with Zhou Tanzhi, it would inevitably make people think that Fang Jifan must have bullied the veteran.

  Although Fang Jifan's reputation is already very bad, he doesn't care about such an extra charge.

   But such things are not good after all.

  Fang Jifan is a man who wants face.

  If His Majesty came to ask...how should he answer?

Fang Jifan paused for a moment, then raised his eyebrows, and said: "Oh, I see, since he likes to raise it, then let's raise it with Zhou Tanzhi. It seems that our signboard needs to be re-hanged, and it should be written on it. Taifu and Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites raise pigs, so it will be even more sensational. This young master has decided that tickets will increase by 20% tomorrow!"

  Wang Jinyuan frowned, looked at Fang Jifan cautiously, and said, "Is this going to be wrong? Master, villains are afraid..."

  Fang Jifan snorted coldly: "Hmph, he dares to raise it, but we, Fang Jifan, dare not let people know that he is raising it? Dog-like thing, get out of here."

  In Wang Jinyuan's heart, he could only admire the young master's courage, there was really nothing he couldn't do.

  He was busy laughing, agreed repeatedly, and went... in a hurry.

  …

  When Fang Jifan returned to the house, he never thought that someone had returned.

   is Liu Wenshan.

  Liu Wenshan just rushed back to the capital from the west. When he saw his teacher, he felt a lot of emotions in his heart. He bowed and bowed: "Master, students look forward to day and night, miss teacher, student... want to die teacher."

  He actually said such nasty words without choosing his words.

   It can be seen that the emotions he expressed are extremely sincere.

Fang Jifan tried his best to identify the person in front of him, only to realize that he vaguely looked like Liu Wenshan, and Fang Jifan couldn't help but be filled with emotion: "Come on, come on, come on, sit down and talk, I'm thinking of you as a teacher too, I often dream about you in my dreams, why did you suddenly rush back from Xiyang, how is the situation there?"

Liu Wenshan said sternly: "Master, the students rushed back non-stop, not just for the Western affairs, but just got the news from Franz that the Spaniards, united with the German states, launched an attack on the Northern Province, They claimed that this was a new crusade. Although Jiang Chen was constantly resisting in the northern province, the bandits were ten times, a hundred times as many. Within a month, they had captured more than a dozen fortresses...Junior Brother Jiang, he has already committed suicide. Zhiyuan water can't save the near fire, and has determined to live and die with the northern province. After writing the letter, the student happened to be in Xiyang, and got this letter, so I came to see my teacher... my teacher... to save Junior Brother Jiang."

   Liu Wenshan said, his eyes were red.

   Obviously... Fang Jifan miscalculated the Spaniards.

  I thought that it would take ten or eight years for the Spaniards to recover from the crisis that spread throughout Franz, but they never expected that after three years of depression, the Spaniards finally...began to recover.

  Fang Jifan listened, his face tensed immediately, and he narrowed his eyes and said, "How long can Jiang Chen hold on?"

"I don't know." Liu Wenshan said worriedly: "Once the northern province falls, it means that our Ming Dynasty has no fulcrum in Frangji, not to mention that the northern province is the first to recover from the crisis with the help of our Ming Dynasty, so... will continue to flow Franchise's wealth attracted the Northern Province, where Junior Brother Jiang followed his master's instructions without any fault, built many forts, and trained an army of horses, but once the Northern Province fell into the hands of Spain , this must have fueled the power of the thieves, and Junior Brother Jiang has also fallen into a situation where there is no redemption."

Fang Jifan frowned and said: "When their letter arrived, I'm afraid half a year has passed, that is to say... It has been nearly half a year. During this half year, we don't know what happened in the northern province. .”

Liu Wenshan nodded sadly: "Exactly, the life and death of Junior Brother Jiang is uncertain. Half a year is enough for a lot of things to happen. Even if we want to rescue, it will take more than half a year. Maybe... when my rescue navy from Daming arrives , Junior Brother Jiang and those soldiers who accompanied him across the ocean...I'm afraid they have already..."

  Fang Jifan saw Liu Wenshan's face was ashen.

   Obviously, Liu Wenshan has regained his senses.

  One year, there is no time for rescue.

   What's more, in order to rescue, Daming still needs to allocate countless money and food, dispatch elite ships, at least tens of thousands of sailors, and untold wealth.

  Paying such a high and huge price is just to save a group of people who may have died in battle.

  I'm afraid... no one is willing to pay such a high price.

Liu Wenshan said with a sad face: "Teacher, the student understands that it is a dangerous move to manage the northern province. This northern province is thousands of miles away from the Ming Dynasty. When Junior Brother Jiang went, he should have understood that he had no way out, and he had no way out." Reinforcements. Now...the Spaniards have finally made their move, and the northern province will be besieged on all sides in an instant, but teachers and students like me can only watch helplessly...Master...students understand..."

  Fang Jifan suddenly looked handsome, and said one word: "Help!"

  Liu Wenshan raised his head with a look of astonishment: "Help?"

  "That's right! Save it, and save it even if you sell it!" Fang Jifan said through gritted teeth, his eyes filled with determination.

  He felt that his brain damage was showing signs of attacking again.
