A few days later, although Fang Jifan came to Zhanshi's house, he was too lazy to find Zhu Houzhao. His Royal Highness seemed to be fine. Anyway, he continued to take sick leave and refused to study in Minglun Hall.

Fang Jifan was a man of the prince's nonsense after all, and he seemed much more mature after all.

Such things must not be tolerated. If there is a first time, there will be a second time. He ignores himself. At worst, he will be able to live a good life with his own life. Anyway, he is a hard-core crop. Since Emperor Wen, there are not many lords in the Ming Dynasty. Because he has a bad relationship with the emperor and the prince, he will be arrested and beheaded.

Besides, I still have five disciples. This young master has no future, but the disciples will be officials in the future.

Thinking of this, Fang Jifan continued to eat and sleep with peace of mind.

On that night, because the backyard was under construction, Fang Jinglong went to Tianjin Weizhang Camp on behalf of the emperor these days, and the bored Fang Jifan went to bed early.

As usual, it was still a good dream. There were many people in the dream, as if the emperor wanted to give him a princess to him, and Fang Jifan in the dream was naturally a righteous and stern rejection. Emperor, you are so awesome. You marry your daughter to Fang Jifan, and I will raise your daughter for you for the rest of your life. So what about the dowry?

What's more, if you marry a daughter, wouldn't you be the sister-in-law of Zhu Houzhao? It's inappropriate, it's inappropriate. Zhu Houzhao is so bad. I've cut off my robe with him. Otherwise, change to a brother-in-law, well... who will change to?

"Lao Fang...Lao Fang..."

The gloomy voice seemed to have gone from far to near, making Fang Jifan's dream begin to become terrifying. He seemed to see Zhu Houzhao chasing him with a green face and fangs, and then let out a crazy laugh.

"Lao Fang...Lao Fang... Wake up..."

Fang Jifan's forehead was covered in cold sweat and was woken up by someone. He was so scared that his sweat wet the thick silk quilt. He suddenly opened his eyes in the dark.

"Lao Fang, Lao Fang..."

Fang Jifan suddenly felt creepy. Your uncle, this is not a dream.

Someone is really pushing himself with his hands.

Fang Jifan subconsciously shouted: "Come here, there is a ghost."

It was delicious and was tightly covered by a hand.

Woo woo...

Fang Jifan burst into tears. Could this be the legendary flower-picking thief? But I am a man. Is it because of a special hobby?

"Old Fang, it's my palace... it's my palace. Don't shout, don't shout, I'll tell you, the watermelon... the watermelon is ripe... it's ripe... I'm afraid that my father will know that I'm leaving the palace without authorization, so I sneak out of the Eastern Palace overnight. So Liu's partner didn't dare to bring him. I originally wanted to come in from the main entrance, but I didn't expect that your dog's eyes were so arrogant that I wouldn't let you enter. I had to climb over the wall and come in. In order to find you, I'm really suffering. Okay, let's go see the melons, and the melons are ripe."

Fang Jifan couldn't see what Zhu Houzhao's expression was in the dark, but... his mood was r dog.

"What? Are you still angry? Lao Fang, you are a big man, why are you like this? Brothers don't have any overnight revenge? Get dressed, let's go see the melon." After that, Zhu Houzhao dragged Fang Jifan out of the bed.

It was still a very cold day. Fang Jifan couldn't help but shivered when he first came into contact with the air conditioner.

Fang Jifan was helpless with Zhu Houzhao, so he had to say, "Wait, I'll dress first, I'll dress first..."

In the darkness, Fang Jifan touched and searched for the old clothes he took off last night, but it was not easy to hold the lights. However, Xiao Xiangxiang suddenly disappeared and dressed herself. She was a little uncomfortable. She finally put on the clothes before she finished the lights. Seeing Zhu Houzhao wearing a python robe, looking at him in a high spirit, it seemed that because of the previous conflict, she suddenly came to the door, so she seemed a little embarrassed.

No wonder the disciple did not open the door to inform him. Not to mention that the disciple did not dare to wake him up in the middle of the night, they said that Zhu Houzhao's outfit was so bold that he would not think that he was the crown prince. He was the top ten, and he thought he was an actor.

At this time, Zhu Houzhao said impatiently: "Why are you still standing there? Let's go."

"More midnight?" Fang Jifan was still thinking whether he should forgive this guy.

"Our melon." Zhu Houzhao looked at Fang Jifan in a frustration, and stomped his feet in a hurry, "The melon we planted together is now ripe, so you are not surprised at all?"

"..." Fang Jifan sighed speechlessly, "Your Highness is really too stubborn."

Zhu Houzhao suddenly bared his teeth again and said angrily: "It is clear that you are stubborn. You don't know anything. Do you understand the art of war? Do you understand the mountains and geography of Guizhou? Do you know how powerful the guest troops and wolf soldiers were transferred to Guizhou? You don't know anything, and you still argue with me."

Fang Jifan pursed his lips and said, "Anyway, Wang Shi lost."

Zhu Houzhao frowned in anger, then he smiled: "Don't argue about these things anymore, let's go and see the melons. When the news of the timestacker comes, it will naturally prove that you are wrong."

Fang Jifan thought it made sense, so he put on a thick dress and walked out with Zhu Houzhao.

In the middle of the night, they rushed to Zhan Shi Mansion on this cold street. The two of them rode on horseback. Although they were wearing heavy clothes, Fang Jifan still felt that the weather was very cold. With the lights or two faintly visible from the streets and alleys along the way, Fang Jifan was a little worried. If he met the soldiers of the five cities who were patrolling the night, it would be awkward. If the matter reached the palace, he would have to be scolded again.

Fortunately, he was lucky today, and there was no one along the way. He successfully arrived at Zhan Shi Mansion. Following Zhu Houzhao into the greenhouse, he saw a candle that had already lit up inside.

The dozen melon seedlings planted before have probably produced more than 30 watermelons. In fact, nearly 70 fruits were born at that time. However, Fang Jifan was afraid of insufficient fertility of the land, so he asked Zhu Houzhao to pick more than 30. Zhu Houzhao was still yelling for a long time. Fang Jifan explained several times and told him that the more fruits the seedlings were not born, and if there were extra vines or too many fruits, the land was not fertile. On the contrary, due to insufficient nutrition, the end of the fruits produced was more, but most of them did not grow too big, and the taste was extremely poor. One seedling had two fruits, and finally two melons were born.

Now, looking at the melons on this land, Fang Jifan took a deep breath and couldn't help but sigh, it was really not easy, at least it proved that the greenhouse was correct to plant in winter. With this experimental field, then... it can be promoted later.

In fact, in this era, winter is not like greenhouse planting. For example, as early as the Sui and Tang Dynasties, there were records of growing vegetables near hot springs, and even cucumbers in greenhouses have long been available.

However... the meaning of growing vegetables next to the hot spring is not very good, because the soil near the hot spring is often insufficient, and the vegetables grown are not large. Furthermore, the ancient greenhouses were not as hot as Fang Jifan, and they set up flue channels, so what they could grow were just cold-resistant vegetables such as cucumbers.

As for fruits, like watermelons that only bear fruit in summer, it is very rare to plant them in winter.

"You can still grow melons in such weather..." Zhu Houzhao looked silly. He was so happy. These melons were all grown by him with great effort. It is conceivable that it is finally time to harvest.

"One of these two melons is given to the mother's queen, and I will try it for her." Zhu Houzhao pointed to the two melons produced by the "Champion Hou" and then said: "There is another one to the Renshou Palace. My great-grandmother is old and has a bad teeth, but she has to try it."

Fang Jifan also picked up one: "This is for Your Majesty..."

"No!" Zhu Houzhao narrowed her eyes, stubborn and stubborn: "Sell it to him then."

“…”

"Let's leave one to try eating, what about the others?" Zhu Houguan looked at Fang Jifan.

Fang Jifan said firmly: "I hope to sell these dozens of melons, I will definitely not be able to make money. But the most important thing is to open up sales first and make our melons famous in the capital. So, sell it! And you have to sell it at a high price, and sell it to the richest families in Beijing. After they taste this rare melon, we can recruit people in Xishan, build greenhouses, and expand the scale of planting. Now we have to free up thousands of acres of land. Not only do we plant melons, but we also have to try to plant some other things. In short, we have expanded production step by step and made a name for ourselves. It just so happens that the weather is about to be hot. Take advantage of this summer to build thousands of acres of greenhouses first. Well... the light transmittance of this glass is good, but it seems that glass has to be built."

"What is glass?" Hearing a new term, Zhu Houzhao looked at Fang Jifan curiously.

The most important thing at the moment is to compress costs and minimize costs. You can get a test field with luxury. After all, this is just verification, but real transactions are another matter.

As for what glass is, it is difficult for Fang Jifan to explain it to Zhu Houzhao.

It is really good to make glass in Xishan, because the most needed glass smelting is fuel. The ore veins in Xishan Mountain are fuel, which can be used to obtain materials nearby. The land near Xishan was originally bought to prevent someone from stealing the mine, but now it is very useful and can be used to build large-scale greenhouses.

Coal mines are the foundation, which can be used as fuel and sold at the same time, while anthracite is used to craft glass, which can be sold to the outside world, and can also be established for greenhouse vegetables. This is like establishing a simple industrial chain.

However, things have to be done step by step. There is no need to hurry to expand the planting. There is still a whole summer. The most important thing is to build a brand first.

Watermelon in winter is a rare thing. If it prevails in the top wealthy circles in the capital first, it will be easier to do next.

Of course, it would be even more wonderful if the watermelon was given a little special meaning.

The two of them carried out a watermelon, like two thieves. In the darkness, the eunuch on duty took the watermelon knife and washed it. Everything was two. The bright red juice suddenly overflowed, and the unique melon fragrance had a unique flavor on this cold night.

"I will cut it myself." Zhu Houzhao wanted to cut the watermelon into a petal.

Fang Jifan said, "You can't eat like this, this is the way for the poor to eat."

"Ah..." Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but be stunned.

Fang Jifan said to the eunuch on duty: "Get two spoons."

The eunuch licked his mouth and looked at this rare thing pitifully, and he was greedy. Unfortunately, he knew that he had no share, so he had to obey orders and go and get the silver spoon.
