The Ming Dynasty’s Prodigal Son - Chapter 1882

[1882. Chapter 1792 The overall situation has been decided]

. Zhu Houcong said it very seriously.

He looked extremely sincere in front of Fang Jifan.

The meaning is very clear, since the best policy cannot be adopted, then honestly adopt the middle policy. After making the choice, the road will end in darkness!

Fang Jifan was stunned and then smiled: “You are still that smart kid.”

Zhu Houcong said quickly: “In the eyes of brother-in-law, I will always be just a kid.”

As he said this, he took out a notebook from his sleeve and said: ” Brother-in-law, in fact, over the years… I have long expected that one day, Golden Continent is no other place. The mountains here are high and the emperor is far away. The court is beyond the reach of the place. All the clansmen have come here. Although they say they are loyal to the court, But there are also some people who secretly engage in male theft and female prostitution, which is really chilling. Brother-in-law, look… I found out many things here. For example, this King of Lu actually colluded with the Spaniards secretly and traded with the Spaniards in private. Also…the prince of Zhou is lawless…my brother-in-law is now the regent, and it is necessary to clean up the atmosphere of Huangjinzhou. To govern Huangjinzhou, the first thing to govern is people. To govern them, rewards and punishments need to be clear, so that people can be convinced. “

Fang Jifan took the book and took a brief look at it under the light. He was convinced. There were a lot of small reports. Who did what in such and such a year and month, where are the witnesses, where are the physical evidences, and even… …or maybe it’s just hearsay, and it’s clearly recorded in it.

Fang Jifan took his eyes back from the book and glanced at Zhu Houcong: “When did you start to investigate these in detail?”

“Three years ago…”

Fang Jifan couldn’t help but sigh: “Three years ago, that was fifteen years old. , when I was fifteen, I was not as far-reaching as you.”

Zhu Houcong immediately said: “I don’t dare, I don’t dare.” Fang Jifan

then smiled again and said meaningfully: “It’s as you said, You have expected this day, but… I think, if your uncles are really fooled by you this time and let you take the best advice, then what is recorded in this book will , will become a means for you to control them in the future, right?”

Zhu Houcong was honest and nodded: “Brother-in-law is really aware of the situation. If you don’t have long-term concerns, you must have immediate worries. The clan members are spoiled, and this gold suddenly comes. Each continent has to guard its own vassal territory. Sooner or later there will be big changes. I have prepared in advance. No matter what the final… result will be, the things in this book can be used as tools. If Prince Xing’s Mansion can make the decision , then just rely on these to control the kings. But if Prince Xing’s mansion can’t do it, then everyone in Prince Xing’s mansion will offer this book to the brother-in-law. It can be considered a credit to the brother-in-law for keeping this book. It can be used. No need, just kill him as a warning to others. No need… He is a brother-in-law who treats others leniently. If the princes get wind of this, they will not be able to help but shed tears of gratitude to his brother-in-law.”

Fang Jifan couldn’t help but be convinced. This was not what he thought. Very thorough!

Fang Jifan laughed loudly and said: “Among the children of the clan, you are the smartest, even to the point of being so wise that you are almost a demon. But you don’t have to worry, we, Fang Jifan, have never been afraid of smart people, not to mention you are also my brother-in-law… live some life , I would like to ask the emperor to set up a Zongling Palace in this Golden Continent to take charge of the affairs of the clan, and then recommend your father to be the Zongling. Your father has a pure temperament, but you have to give a lot of help. “

Zongling is a superficial leader. A high position, but one with little actual power.

But Zhu Houcong was overjoyed. He knew in his heart that this was a sign from his brother-in-law that in the future, Prince Xing’s Mansion would only be under the Regent. In the future, if there was any benefit to the clan, Prince Xing’s Mansion would get the biggest piece of fat. .

Fang Jifan added: “In a few days, I will set up a trading company to specialize in the mining of the entire Golden Continent mines. At that time… I will ask all the sect kings to invest in the vassal land. You will use your wisdom in the near future. Go study and learn the economics. I have already seen your intelligence and knowledge of current affairs. I won’t worry about handing over this business to others in the future, so it would be best to hand it over to you. “

This child is definitely a good one. Monster, Fang Jifan even felt that if he hadn’t been a human being in two lifetimes and learned a few things from people who came after him, or…if he hadn’t been around for so many years and accumulated a deep family fortune, maybe a hundred of himself would not be the opponent of this monster. !

People must be self-aware! Therefore, we still need to be wary of Zhu Houcong. If he is trained in any political or military field in the future, Fang Jifan will have trouble sleeping and eating. In this case, it is better to let him do business, which can be considered as giving full play to his strengths and making him more capable. Within the controllable range.

Zhu Houcong seemed to have expected this, and said happily: “Thank you, brother-in-law, brother-in-law…I will definitely follow you and learn from him. If I learn well, I can share my worries with my brother-in-law. If I don’t learn well, my brother-in-law will also scold me.”

Fang Jifan waved his hand and looked up at his son Fang Zhengqing.

Fang Zhengqing has sword-like eyebrows and tiger-like eyes, he is full of energy, he is dressed in military uniform, and his hand is constantly pressing the handle of the knife at his waist, like a swift leopard.

With a majestic appearance, he could be called a dragon or a phoenix.

But…

Fang Jifan thought in his heart, hey… someone else’s son.

Fang Jifan boarded the carriage, and soon the carriage gradually disappeared into the night mist.

The mighty guards also dispersed like smoke.

Until no one could be seen in front of him, Zhu Houcong was still standing in front of the house!

His Adam’s apple rolled. Different from Fang Jifan’s vigilance towards him, Zhu Houcong felt inexplicable fear in his heart. From the time he secretly reported to his brother-in-law, and then the army gathered to surround the palace, and then retreated, this well-trained army and horse, It comes as soon as you call it, and it goes away when you wave it… This is the real foundation. The Fang family’s extremely strong financial resources, the support of hundreds of thousands of Fang family members, the influence of Xishan Academy, and the Fang family’s influence on countless The centripetal force of Wang Xue’s scholars, as well as the port built by the Fang family in New Qingdao, the Chidao established, the mineral veins continuously mined and excavated, and the workshops established in New Linzi. A military camp built in New Jinan was cultivated land.

These… are the true foundation of kingship, the source of strength, and they cannot be shaken by some clever tricks or mere conspiracy.

In front of the real strength… Zhu Houcong felt trembling.

He remained silent and quickly began to adjust his mentality.

Since he has chosen the middle strategy, then… he will have two responsibilities from now on. One is to try his best to persuade his father to carefully manage the Zongling Mansion for Fang Jifan and to govern the princes. The other is to work hard to learn how to operate and slowly adapt to the huge machine system of the Fang family so that you have the capital to be used and driven.

After figuring out this joint, other things… he no longer cares. When people are alive, they must know what their true role is. What will happen after Emperor Taizu Gao? Jiangshan Sheji is what his cousin Zhu Houzhao considers, and as a collateral lineage, what he has to consider is how to settle down and make a living.

He smiled slightly and took a breath.

The night in New Qingdao is a bit cold.

………

Early the next morning, in this cold winter when the sunlight was weak, Zhu Houzhao did not covet comfort, and immediately gave the order, preparing to set off with his people!

He needs to go all the way north to meet the emperor, which is also one of the purposes of his coming here!

Fang Jifan also became happy, but Zhu Houzhao noticed that Fang Jifan looked tired and smiled at him: “Why, you look like a thief, did you become a thief last night?”

Fang Jifan did not hide anything, and took full responsibility for what happened last night. Report.

Zhu Houzhao’s eyes widened immediately: “Among the clan members, none of them came forward?”

Seeing Zhu Houzhao’s slightly angry expression, Fang Jifan couldn’t help but sigh, even if this guy became the emperor, he still had the same familiar tone!

He could clearly see the disappointment in Zhu Houzhao’s eyes. Although Fang Jifan also wanted to lie and comfort him, he still said honestly: “Your Majesty, no.”

Zhu Houzhao was silent for a moment, but said seriously: ” My choice is correct.”

Then, Zhu Houzhao gritted his teeth again: “But I am still angry! How unreasonable! None of these bastards can fight, but they are all of the blood of Emperor Taizu. , are they all so unbearable? If they come forward, I will be relieved and respect them as men!”

Listening to Zhu Houzhao’s angry rants, Fang Jifan could deeply feel Zhu Houzhao’s anger towards his own people. .

However, this result was not too surprising. Zhu Houzhao could only sigh in the end, waved his hand and said: “Well… I didn’t expect them to be more successful. It’s better to go see my father as soon as possible. I just hope that my father will be more successful.” When you see me, don’t beat me up.”

Speaking of this, Fang Jifan was actually quite worried. As the regent… I wonder what the emperor would think of him?

So after making some preparations, the two of them set off along the galloping road under the heavy protection of guards. They didn’t stop all the way. However, the further north they went, the colder the weather became, and Zhu Houzhao’s mood… became more and more heavy. The Emperor The place I’m looking for…seems a little bad.

………

I would like to thank my classmate who is always drunk after reading for becoming the new leader of this book. I am so grateful that I cannot express my gratitude.
