The Ming Dynasty’s Prodigal Son - Chapter 1876

[1876. Chapter 1786 Foresight]

After hearing Fang Jifan’s words, Zhu Houzhao seemed even more solemn.

Crazy is certainly his nature.

But there is also a very smart side in his temperament.

More than anyone else, he could see the future potential of this Golden Continent.

A large amount of land means that tens of millions of immigrants brought leading skills. Behind it is the Ming Dynasty that dominates the world. There are no strong enemies around. The population is multiplying crazily, which means that the future will continue to grow in gold. With the expansion of the continent, and because of the abundant land, there will be no need to worry about internal conflicts and internal troubles caused by land annexation for hundreds of years. The continuous expansion of land will also make the martial spirit popular and stay away from all disputes in the old continent for hundreds of years. Within three hundred years, a superpower spanning thousands of miles will be formed here. Within three hundred years, with the reproduction of the population, tens of millions of people and abundant resources will make it outstanding in the world, capable of attacking when advancing and defending when retreating. , if you act in a kingly way, you will be able to defend yourself; if you act in a domineering manner, you will be able to dominate the Old Continent by relying on the natural sea barrier.

After listening to Fang Jifan’s words… Zhu Houzhao was still expressionless, and he immediately said: “Look at Fang Wenjing, he is such an idiot…”

Fang Wenjing was just aside. To be honest, he listened to what His Majesty and his uncle said. He didn’t quite understand, but he understood this sentence, so: “…”

Zhu Houzhao did not care that Fang Wenjing was beside him, and continued his stupid topic: “Such a stupid person can still have enough food and clothing when he gets here. He can reproduce his own offspring and give birth to five sons and two daughters. In the future, his descendants will be endless. Thieves, even if they meet the natives, they dare to kill them mercilessly. There are thousands of such descendants of Fang Wenjing, but… they all have the surname Fang… The Fang family has become a powerful force in Huangjin Continent, I will give it to you. If you kill Fang Jifan, can you kill all the hundreds of thousands of people in the Fang family? Since they can’t be killed, then… who can control these Fang family members if they want to guard this place? If you are willing to be convinced, there will be changes sooner or later. But if the Fang clan is allowed to elect a leader who can convince them, then… wouldn’t it be your Fang Jifan who is elected?”

Zhu Houzhao continued: “The time has come. Today, everything has come to an end! If I kill one Fang Jifan, there will be a second one and a third one in this Golden Continent, unless the Ming Dynasty wastes its national power and uses all available power to move hundreds of families. Coming to the Golden Continent, but then again, even if we move hundreds of families, what can we do? The Golden Continent is too far, too far, and has exceeded the limits of the Ming Dynasty. A decree from the imperial court will take half a year. Only then can they be sent here. If there is a rebellion here, the court will not know until half a year later. By the time the court wants to quell the rebellion, a year and a half will have passed. If the emperor of the Fang family does not come out, he will come out. The Liu family, the emperor of the Wang family, if there is no Fang Jifan here, there will be Fang Agou or Fang Amao. This is luck.”

Fang Jifan was silent again when he heard this!

Zhu Houzhao said: “No one can blame this. It’s just that none of the clan members can live up to their expectations. I can’t point them out. Besides, although these bitches are related to me by blood, in terms of closeness, I am still the same as the old man.” You have many relatives, and Zhengqing is my nephew. Instead of giving it to someone with a foreign surname or clan, it would be better to hand over this future Golden Continent to you and Zhengqing. This is actually what scholars call the way of heaven. How could God favor a family in all life? I am not an emperor. Father is always thinking about the foundation for eternity. This is just like the emperors in ancient times who wanted to become immortals, so they recruited magicians to seek immortality. Medicine, but in fact, people are bound to live, grow old, sick and die, and no one can escape the laws of this world. I don’t think about what will happen thousands of years later, I only care about the present.”

Zhu Houzhao said, patting Fang Jifan on the shoulder: “If you don’t object, That’s right. If you want to attack now, with my riding and shooting skills and the guards I have brought with me, you will definitely be able to break out of the siege. By then, we will no longer be brothers. , we are still brothers, and I only have you as my friend in this life. I just said that I only care about the present, and you and I are brothers. I will definitely not cut off my right and left arm, because…as long as I live, our friendship will remain. “I care deeply about my brother. Although I know you are lazy and greedy, I also know that you have small thoughts from time to time, but these are just trivial matters and not worth mentioning.”

As he said, he stretched himself: “Today, I have explained the truth thoroughly. After I go back, I will defeat the Ottomans and personally lead elite troops into Kunlun Continent. This Golden Continent has a bright future, but my ancestral foundation cannot be in my hands. It does not mean that the inner world is destroyed once and there is no hope for the future. It means that a man will not try to change the way of heaven, but he must carry a three-foot sword to kill foreign invaders and achieve great achievements for his ancestors. “

Fang Jifan rarely listened to Zhu Houzhao. Seriously, it still makes sense. For a moment, my nose felt a little sour. I sniffed and didn’t know what to say. I could only sigh: “Your Majesty is right. Who can care about what will happen thousands of years later?” , Not to mention a thousand years, ten thousand years, even a hundred years from now, it has nothing to do with our current situation. Cherishing the friendship in front of us is the most important thing. I am a person who values feelings. Otherwise, I would not treat these five things. Relatives from a hundred years ago have also been sent to this Golden Continent to enjoy their happiness.”

Zhu Houzhao burst into laughter!

Then he looked at Fang Wenjing, who looked confused: “Look, you are from the same ancestor. You are ignorant and stupid. Look at Lao Fang again. It’s hard to imagine that you have the same blood.”

Fang Wenjing’s expression changed, and he suddenly prostrated: “Young man…Young man…I don’t know whether to say something or not.”

Zhu Houzhao said, “Say it.”

Fang Wenjing said with a sad face: “Young man… I really don’t dare It is a heinous crime to deceive the emperor. In fact…actually, the villain’s surname is not Fang, but his surname is Fan. More than ten years ago, the villain was only twenty-three years old and worked as a farmer in Nanchang Prefecture. But suddenly a servant came and insisted that the villain’s surname was Fang, and that he was a close relative of the Duke of Zhen. The villain cried at that time and argued with the family tree, but the other party ignored him, so… the villain’s entire clan was imprisoned. “I’ve moved here.”

Fang Jifan suddenly made a long face and said sternly: “What nonsense are you talking about? The surname Fan and the surname Fang don’t mean the same thing?”

Fang Wenjing said with an embarrassed look: “Yes, yes, anyway. Almost, anyway, I, the Fan family of Nanchang Prefecture, have recognized my ancestors and returned to the clan. I, the little people, are actually very grateful to the Duke of Zhenguo. Nanchang Prefecture has a lot of people but little land, and it has suffered from war. The days of the little people were very miserable. .”

As he spoke, his eyes turned red: “I’m not afraid of your majesty and uncle’s jokes. Before I moved to Golden Continent, I had never had meat. Only when I came here… did I really see the world and be able to do it. Becoming uncle’s relatives, the little people live a wonderful life in this Golden Continent. Such a life was something that the little people never dared to imagine before.”

Zhu Houzhao and Fang Jifan looked at each other and smiled!

Just as he was talking, there was a commotion in the distance, and a large group of people was seen coming towards him!

However, someone had already hurriedly reported the matter to the Prince’s Mansion.

As a result, when Xinjin County Prince Fang Jinglong and his grandson Fang Zhengqing heard the news, their first reaction was to look in disbelief, but they still hurriedly brought people to greet him.

Fang Jinglong’s hair and beard were already white, but he was in great spirits. When he saw Zhu Houzhao from a distance and then saw Fang Jifan, his face suddenly turned rosy. This was of course exciting!

Jifan hasn’t changed at all, he’s still the same, with thin skin and tender flesh, fair complexion but a slender figure.

Sitting on the horse… Fang Jinglong could not help but burst into tears for just a moment, his lips trembled.

“Father, Dad, look, it’s dad. It’s true. It’s true. Look, it’s my dad.” Fang Zhengqing danced with joy.

That’s how people are…

even if they were beaten by Fang Jifan since childhood.

But the father and son have been separated for a long time, and the bad memories of the past are automatically filtered out, leaving only the intimate thoughts between father and son.
