However, Fang Jifan's words, in the hearts of Emperor Hongzhi and other monarchs and ministers, were like throwing a huge rock, and ripples appeared in the heart.

Bring it back from the sea?

Overseas again?

Overseas, there are high-yield grains and precious medicinal materials.

In the past, all policies of the imperial court revolved around throttling.

Because people stick to the rules and think that there are only so many products in Ming Dynasty. In order to prevent the shortage of products in disaster years, they must put an end to extravagance, hide at home as usual, and save as much as they can.

Therefore, Ming is proud of frugality, war? If you can avoid it, avoid it. After all, if there is a war, it will cost a lot of money. Sailing? It's too wasteful, and the current national policy of Emperor Wen's voyages to the West is still criticized by many people. All the expenses of the imperial court should be saved if they can be saved, even if it is to raise soldiers, it is still a piece of land, and go to farm by yourself, and the salary will not be paid.

Under this established national policy, in fact, from the early Ming Dynasty to the present, the revenue of the treasury has hardly increased much. What it was like more than a hundred years ago, it is still what it is today.

Fang Jifan's greatest contribution is not that he made any contributions, but that he opened a new door for the monarchs and ministers.

It turns out that in addition to throttling expenditure, there is actually the possibility of open source.

The appearance of sweet potatoes and potatoes greatly increased food production, and the fishing of sea fish not only increased the income of the imperial court, but also used fishing to raise Japanese guards, thereby deterring Japanese pirates overseas and solving the problem of Japanese invasion. Going to the West, although it cost a lot of money, but its effect has already begun to show, if this epidemic continues to wreak havoc, how many people will die, no one can imagine, but only a certain tree species brought back from overseas , but saved countless people, and even strengthened the rule of the Southwest, without having to spend countless manpower and material resources on disaster relief after the catastrophe, not to mention the fact that the court recruited officers and troops from other places to go to Guizhou, Yunnan, and Guangxi provinces. Refill the void left after the catastrophe.

As for the 'Eunuch Xiao' tree, Emperor Hongzhi knew that it was just Fang Jifan teasing Xiao Jing.

Fang Jifan said: "After the tree species was brought back, the guards in the field worked tirelessly to plant this tree, especially Zhang Xin..."

Emperor Hongzhi squeezed his hand: "I know, you have to ask for credit for them again, okay, okay, if you have merit, you will be rewarded if you have merit, and you will be rewarded with three hundred catties of gold."

"..."

Fang Jifan began to doubt life a little bit.

Three hundred catties of copper is very worrying.

Liu Jian and others also looked embarrassed.

The reward standard for domestic money, three hundred catties, is already a relatively high standard.

In the early Ming Dynasty, this number was even more astonishing.

But this is the case with the court's laws, so what else?

Although this is quite embarrassing, after all... it is indeed a bit difficult to do.

From the beginning to the end, Fang Jifan looked depressed, his brows were deeply furrowed, and his mind was heavy.

Emperor Hongzhi, Liu Jian and others were interested, and went to see the 'Guangzong Yaozu Xiao Gonggong Tree' in person. Emperor Hongzhi called Zhang Xin and others, and praised them fiercely.

Zhang Xin and the others were extremely excited about His Majesty's praise. Some even cried, sniffled, knelt down, and bowed three times, praising our emperor's grace.

Emperor Hongzhi was a delicate person. Seeing Fang Jifan's worried appearance all the time, he didn't show anything. At noon, Wen Yansheng cooked a table of wine and dishes. The monarchs and ministers happily sat around in the hall of Zhenguo Mansion, feasting on it.

Emperor Hongzhi ate some wine and became a little drunk. He said with emotion: "Marquis Pingxi Zhongyi, my son-in-law is also very good. I have no regrets in succeeding Xiurong Xu Fang."

Liu Jian and the others took the opportunity to say some compliments.

After drinking for three rounds, Emperor Hongzhi set off, ready to drive back to the palace.

Emperor Hongzhi was slightly drunk, Xiao Jing wanted to support Emperor Hongzhi, but Emperor Hongzhi waved his hand and said, "Jifan, come here."

Fang Jifan looked sad, but he had no choice but to go forward and help Emperor Hongzhi get on the sedan chair. Emperor Hongzhi said in a low voice: "Your father is safe and sound, why are you so unhappy?"

Fang Jifan shook his head: "It's nothing, I'm fine."

Emperor Hongzhi's drunken eyes seemed to see through Fang Jifan's deep anxiety and anxiety: "You have something to say, but it doesn't matter. You and my son-in-law, what can't you say?"

Fang Jifan swallowed his saliva and thought for a while: "I still dare not say anything."

Emperor Hongzhi smiled: "After all, I regard you as a humerus. If there is any difficulty, I will definitely not teach you to be wronged."

Fang Jifan thought for a while, then hesitated and said: "I am thinking, Your Majesty, when the princess gets married, the dowry will also be given as 'gold' of tens of thousands of catties, right? I..." Fang Jifan said embarrassingly: " I don't mean anything else, and I'm not greedy for money, I'm just asking."

"..." Emperor Hongzhi pulled his face down, and suddenly woke up from the wine. It seemed that all of a sudden, the dragon and the tiger became fierce, but he didn't say anything. According to the law of the court, I have returned to the palace, so you don't have to send it far."

He drew down the curtain, ordered people to get up the sedan chair, led the officials and the guards in modest clothes, and walked away.

Fang Jifan recalled, shook his head, and slandered in his heart, stingy!

"Old Fang..." Zhu Houzhao immediately regained his energy when seeing his father leave, "What did you say to your father just now?"

Fang Jifan said: "I tell Your Majesty, Your Majesty the Crown Prince is an upright person, which is rare. Please, Your Majesty, please don't always shout at His Highness..."

Zhu Houzhao said cheerfully: "Never mind him, my father has always been like this. Lao Fang, the epidemic in the Southwest is really cured! Admire, admire. At first you said to send medicine, I thought you were joking."

Zhu Houzhao blinked: "But Annan...there is no disease, and the Annan people are bound to shrink back. This is not good."

After thinking about it for so many days, whether Annan will fight or not, wouldn't it be a waste of time if he didn't fight.

Fang Jifan looked at Zhu Houzhao with a smile: "I've gone to the Feiqiu camp, so why come back with nothing."

"But……"

Fang Jifan sighed, and patted Zhu Houzhao's shoulder: "Your Highness, what I appreciate most about you is that Your Highness is too simple."

"..."

………………

Half a month later.

Yang Biao and others have arrived in Guizhou.

They set off first, and a large amount of luggage was slowly transported in behind.

As soon as they arrived at the place, there was a Pegasus who sent the military order of the Zhen Guofu. Since Zhu Houzhao changed his seal, it has become a very headache to confirm the military order.

Yang Biao and Shen Ao took out the comparison table, first glanced at the date when the order was issued, and then compared the date to find the graphic of the official seal of Zhen Guo on that day. , there will be a small gap that is not easy to detect, take a magnifying glass to see, yes, yes!

call……

The two immediately acted according to the order, and brought a group of people to Wenshan. This area of ​​Wenshan is a place where natives live together, and the mountain road is rugged. Fortunately, some local natives knew that it was the Ming army, and they cooperated happily. There is a guide, leading Yang Biao and others to go south.

Going forward, there is a large camp of Annan people ahead.

In fact, on the Wenshan line, the imperial court thought it was a barren land, and only set up a chieftain prefecture in general. After the land was reformed, the ownership of this place was also unclear.

And because most of the natives here are members of the Liu family, the Pingxi Hou Mansion insisted that this place is under the jurisdiction of the Guizhou capital.

But for the Annan people, they naturally knew that the court of Ming Dynasty would not have much interest in these wild places.

Over the years, they have gradually encroached and occupied a lot of 'land without owner'. Local officials have always felt that one thing more is worse than one thing less. After all, this is a wild land, and God knows where this land belongs.

But the local natives were very dissatisfied with this. After the Annan people eroded the land, they expelled the original natives. They stationed troops and horses nearby. The natives suffered greatly, but the natives knew that they were In the hearts of Annan people, they didn't seem to be worried about rebelling against the Ming court. They went to sue the Ming court.

It is precisely because of this mentality that the Annan people are here, and they are becoming more and more rampant.

The people in Annan seem to think that this is a god-sent opportunity for this great epidemic in the Southwest. They have sent more soldiers and horses here, and they seem to have plans to occupy this place in one fell swoop.

Now this Annan army village is brightly lit at night.

At this moment, Marquis Pingxi has also revised the book and went to the army camp, asking them to retreat fifty li and not to cross the border.

The Annan people did not express anything about this. They neither retreated nor provoked. They were like nails. The Annan envoys who were far away in the capital were crying and suing, and they were deceived by Pingxihou.

While chewing the jerky, Yang Biao took a group of people to the base of the military camp after urinating, and then began to observe the military camp.

Shen Ao stood beside him.

Shen Ao said: "Here's an order to set up camp here, and also, to send someone under his stronghold to reprimand them."

After a while, everyone went to the stronghold one after another, and the military stronghold was immediately on guard. The Annan people seemed to sense the malice of these uninvited guests and immediately put on guard.

Below the army stronghold, a guide proficient in Annan came out and began to curse.

Naturally, he denounced the Annan people for violating the border and being bold, and told them to go back immediately, otherwise what will happen.

The Annan people in the army camp were unmoved.

But these words, the more they scolded, the more ugly they sounded, and the Annan people in this village were also a little angry.

The guide under the village was born with a good voice. After all, the natives love to sing folk songs. Whoever has a loud voice and can sing well will have a higher chance of reproduction. The loud gene.

He began to be unscrupulous and changed his tricks.

The other soldiers of the Flying Ball Battalion were also not idle, and they also cursed together in Chinese, with a variety of tricks.
