"Fang Jifan..."

Someone came up behind him panting.

Fang Jifan, Zhang Xin and others were young and walked quickly.

Moreover, there are many unwritten rules in the officialdom. Even if they leave the palace, it is a senior official with high authority who walks ahead. Young officials do not dare to overstep and can only follow behind.

But Fang Jifan was in a hurry, Zhang Xinren and others naturally followed Fang Jifan obediently, not daring to lag behind, anyway, they had to follow Fang Jifan.

Fang Jifan is their food and clothing parents!

Hearing someone calling him from behind, Fang Jifan couldn't help but stop, looked back, and saw Ma Wensheng, Minister of the Ministry of War, chasing after him out of breath.

"Uncle Xinjian, wait a moment."

Fang Jifan couldn't help frowning, staring at Ma Wensheng, and asked puzzledly, "I don't know what's the matter with Ma Shangshu?"

Panting for breath, Ma Wensheng sized Fang Jifan up and down: "I have no idea..."

"..."

"What?"

"No idea." Ma Wensheng held his face, and asked awkwardly: "Is this corn and pearl rice really available? Uncle Xinjian, once the court goes to the West, it will take a lot of effort."

Fang Jifan stared at him deeply, and immediately said seriously: "Ma Shangshu, you can't trust me, Fang Jifan?"

"..."

Fang Jifan continued to question: "Who do you think I am, Fang Jifan?"

His tone was a little cold.

"..."

"Fang Jifan has always been based on honesty. The world knows this. How dare you insult me ​​like this?"

Ma Wensheng also seemed to feel that he had said something too much. It was an insult to question others in person, so he murmured.

"Uncle Xinjian, what I mean is..."

"Stop talking, you not only insulted me, you also insulted the officers and men of the station." Fang Jifan's face darkened, his tone became sharp, and his words were full of displeasure.

Ma Wensheng's heart was shocked, and he looked at a group of 'old farmers' who looked confused but were all in ragged clothes.

That's right, Fang Jifan can't believe it, but what can these soldiers not believe? Look at them, all of them have become like this for the court, they are the pillars of the court.

"I understand." Ma Wensheng nodded and said apologetically.

"Here, the Ministry of War will definitely draw up regulations at all costs."

Fang Jifan nodded lightly, and stopped arguing with him, and his face softened. The next moment Fang Jifan suddenly thought of something, and asked.

"Actually, I have always had a question. Did Liu Daxia really burn all the charts? He is an official of the imperial court. He burned those charts and materials just to completely let Xiang Zhong and all those who wished to sail to the West People, utter despair. But I firmly believe that Liu Daxia must not be stupid. After all, he is an official of the imperial court. He burned all these charts and voyage materials. If you pursue it, if you are not sure, you will be ruined, so I think he should keep a hand and be prepared."

Ma Wensheng's heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly understood what was going on.

Yes, burning charts and materials is just a means, not an end.

Ma Wensheng took a deep look at Fang Jifan, nodded in agreement, and immediately said with a smile: "Presumably, Jin Yiwei will give us the answer. If those charts and documents are still there, then I am really lucky. Just now , why didn't you say it in the hall?"

Fang Jifan said: "I just remembered."

In fact, I remembered it a long time ago. In fact, in the research of historical materials in later generations, there has been a lot of controversy about this. The fundamental reason is that smuggling in the southeast was extremely rampant at that time, so that a large number of smuggling merchants, both merchants and robbers, The ships that smuggled merchants were large in scale and highly skilled. By the end of the Ming Dynasty, these ever-growing smuggling pirates, also known as Japanese pirates, had almost dominated the entire eastern sea area.

A hundred years later, Zheng Zhilong, the leader of the pirates who inherited the smuggler fleet, led the fleet to a decisive battle with the Dutch fleet, the overlord of the sea at that time, and dealt heavy damage to the Dutch fleet in one fell swoop.

It can be seen from this.

The reason why Fang Jifan didn't say it in the hall is very simple. Hasn't our Mr. Liu been tortured by Jin Yiwei yet? Why did you ask him to confess all of a sudden? You have to be kind. There is no need to fight with Jin Yiwei for this little credit. After all, Fang Jifan is a very upright person.

Ma Wensheng cheered up: "If this is the case, the loss of money and food can be minimized. Uncle Xinjian, you have made great contributions by offering sweet potatoes this time. Your Majesty built a stone workshop to show your achievements. It is really enviable."

His eyes are shining, and his face is full of envy. Lishifang is the dream of every scholar.

This thing is famous through the ages.

Scholars value this kind of reputation the most, which is equivalent to that women regard setting up chastity archways as a lifetime glory.

Ma Wensheng looked at Fang Jifan with a red face, and praised him, as the Minister of the Ministry of War, I am afraid that he will never have a relationship with Shifang in this life, and I don't know if he can be given a posthumous title after he dies.

Fang Jifan's face fell instantly, and he shouted secretly in his heart, what's the use of the stone workshop, it's better to be rewarded, he couldn't breathe because of the heartache.

He sullenly said, "Oh, let's go."

Turn around and leave with Zhang Xin and others.

Ma Wensheng was a little embarrassed.

Did you say something wrong? This guy, as rumored, has no manners at all.

But...if he was polite, he wouldn't be Fang Jifan. Originally, Ma Wensheng didn't have too high expectations for Fang Jifan. The expectations were all lower than the bottom line of personality, and he was no different from a beast.

At this time, although Fang Jifan made a face for him and led the people away, Ma Wensheng stroked his beard, looked at the backs of Fang Jifan and his party from a distance, shook his head, but he didn't feel angry, and instead murmured: "This Fang Jifan, It's not as bad as I imagined, at least...occasionally...you can still talk well, those gossips outside, it's really nothing to spread rumors..."

Fang Jifan, who walked away, couldn't even imagine that he was so rude and arrogant, but he actually got a five-star praise.

This…

…………

The Fang family became lively.

With a decree, the imperial-given stone workshop was erected, and the Ministry of Industry personally supervised the construction. It seemed that there was no cutting corners, and it was majestic. It almost occupied nearly half of the street in front of Fang's house, and the opposite courtyard wall had to be moved. , shrinking inward.

On the top of the stone archway, there is an inscription with the words "loyalty, courage, wisdom". This is the highest level of loyalty archway for military officials, and it is absolutely impossible to get such a high evaluation without making great contributions.

For the unveiling of the Loyalty Stone Workshop, the governor of Shuntian Prefecture came in person, and eunuchs also came to the palace. Besides, the British Duke Zhang Mao led His Majesty's imperial order to read out the will again.

Fang Jifan put his hands behind his back and looked up at the majestic stone archway. He felt like he was a good man and had won the chastity archway. He couldn't laugh or cry. This thing can't be eaten or drunk. It's just an honor. Anyway, the palace will give some benefits.

It's really heartbreaking, just wasting my hard work in vain.

Fang Jifan felt that the stone workshop was useless, but behind him, Wang Shouren and others all looked at the stone workshop, feeling inexplicably moved.

Shifang, the highest honor of civil servants and military officials during his lifetime, his mentor, is really his role model, he received this honor at a young age, and since then, the four villages, eight miles, neighbors, no one is innocent, in the future these , will be recorded in county annals, government annals, and even national history, and will last forever.

Tang Yin cried, tears streaming down his face, covering his face with choked sobs.

Fang Jifan was stunned by the crying, and asked with a frown, "Why are you crying?"

"The mentor offered sweet potatoes to save the unknown people. Your majesty is generous and bestowed on the teacher Shifang to praise the great achievements of the teacher. The grace of heaven is mighty. The teacher... the students are happy for the teacher... happy..."

Tang Yin's choked up words also aroused Wang Shouren and others' emotion, and their eyes were moist.

This stone square is similar to the posthumous names of the ministers when they died.

In history, Li Dongyang, a majestic prime minister who had already served as a senior scholar in the cabinet, heard that the emperor was going to give him the posthumous title of "Wen Zhenggong" when he was dying of serious illness. Li Dashi, actually jumped up from the sick bed, alive and well.

Fang Jifan was both confused and wanted to die. Isn't this... the certificate of honor for the three good students? It sounds so nice...Your Majesty, can you give me some benefits...Suddenly...Fang Jifan wants to die...

In the corner of Fang Jifan's eyes, there was actually a little bit of tears.

The people on the side looked at it, nodded their heads, and talked a lot. It was really moving to see the relationship between master and apprentice.

The British Duke Zhang Mao was beside him happily, and suddenly slapped the eunuch who came to watch the ceremony. His palm with a big palm fan slapped the eunuch's shoulder, and the eunuch suddenly became shorter, and he did not lie on the ground.

"The old man told you, Eunuch Liu, the son of the old Fang family, do you know what the old man told him back then?"

The eunuch rubbed his shoulders, wanting to die, but he had to apologize.

"Forget it, you don't even understand."

But the eunuch took a cautious look at Zhang Mao: "The slaves haven't congratulated the lord yet, and the Zhang family has another young uncle. This is full of capital, who wouldn't be envious... By the way, lord, Kaifeng, If the father-in-law repairs a letter, His Royal Highness King Zhou..."

Zhang Mao's face was gloomy. The so-called Kaifeng was his in-law King Zhou. His daughter-in-law was cheated away. That King Zhou was really unkind. A few days ago, he was also very worried, shameful, dignified The Duke's Mansion actually had to suffer such a humiliation, but now he just folded his hands and sneered, as if he didn't care at all.

"What kind of books are you going to study? What kind of books are you going to study? We Zhang family men don't have to worry about not having a wife. The King of Zhou refuses to break up with me, old Zhang. If you have the ability, don't send him here and divorce your wife!"

"I, Zhang Mao..." Zhang Mao bared his teeth and sneered, wishing that everyone could hear it. After all, what happened last time almost made him unable to lift his head: "It's not easy to deceive!"
