Chapter 1344: Fengguo Yulu
"The clans picked the rest?"
Emperor Hongzhi looked at Fang Jifan with a look of surprise.
He never expected that Fang Jifan would be so noble and noble.
This son-in-law... is really sharing my worries.
Originally, the clans were reluctant and no one was willing to go.
In order to curb clan relatives and avoid causing trouble, the Ming Dynasty never advocated the vassal kings to do anything. To put it bluntly, they just kept them as pigs.
Look at the Zhu family’s pigs, they are all big and round.
But now, the national policy has suddenly changed, and they have to be granted a feudal position and to start a foundation. Then, without saying a word, they will throw them to the ends of the world. No one can stand it.
Fang Jifan was the son-in-law of Emperor Hongzhi and his relatives.
If Fang Jifan was willing to set an example at this time, it would be great.
Moreover, Fang Jifan was so noble that others could not find any words, so the matter of the franchise was smooth.
In this era, the capital was a good place and a remote place. Even if you could be a local emperor, it would not be much attractive.
This is also something that Emperor Hongzhi needs to consider carefully.
Emperor Hongzhi looked at Fang Jifan with a suspicious look, and then he smiled with relief: "I am worthy of being my son-in-law. I think that even after the franchise is granted, you can't leave. Let your father be a franchise. However, I plan to give you two fiefs to the Fang family, one of which is your father's and the other is yours."
Fang Jifan said: "Your Majesty is so loving."
Emperor Hongzhi thought for a while: "I have been worried about this strategy of franchise. This franchise is for both the royal family and the great man. If my Han people can spread their branches and leaves everywhere in the world, even if China fails, they can still preserve the bloodline of the great man. The difficulty of the Yuan Dynasty is right in front of me, and it is vivid in my mind. Oh... Where can there be a foundation in the world for generations? Although this is praised by all officials and officials every day, how can I not know the truth? The number of heavens is impermanent. We do our best to do the present and give our future descendants an extra way out. There are still three caves in the cunning rabbit. Do you think so?"
Fang Jifan thought for a while: "Your Majesty, I think that it is not impossible to have a foundation for generations. It does not mean that your Majesty cannot do it in the past dynasties. Your Majesty is the dragon and phoenix among the emperor..."
Emperor Hongzhi smiled: "People have birth, old age, sickness and death, the emperor is like this, and the dynasty is like this. Okay, don't talk about these false things, do the present."
He cheered up: "What is the prince doing recently?"
Fang Jifan said: "Pharmaceutical."
Emperor Hongzhi said: "Have you achieved any results?"
Fang Jifan: "..."
Emperor Hongzhi murmured, "It seems that there is no effect, but... let him, my grandson, I have asked him to go to the Ministry of Rites to observe politics, let him learn it, and experience it, there is no harm. He also participated in this feudal division, but he didn't know how the seventy-nine states divided by the Ministry of Rites. It is really not easy to achieve a balance. Zhang Sheng, the Minister of Rites, could not suppress those relatives, and could only let the emperor's grandson come."
Fang Jifan understood what Emperor Hongzhi meant, and the interests involved were too great.
There will definitely be people who are dissatisfied with the country divided by the Ministry of Rites. People dare not treat the emperor as well as their uncles and cousins, how about you, the Minister of Rites?
The most difficult thing to do is housework.
Therefore... the emperor's grandson must take action in person.
Emperor Hongzhi sighed and waved his hand to let Fang Jifan retreat.
Immediately afterwards, the entire court began to be in chaos.
There was almost a big deal about the matter of banning.
The worst thing is Liu Jian, who comes to visit every day.
They are all those princes.
The princes stayed there and refused to leave. Some said that they had old diseases and were in poor health and needed to take care of them. Some said that they were afraid of darkness at night and needed to sleep with their concubines. However, they were weak and could not bear the pain of bumps. They had to prepare the biggest treasure ship for them, the kind that could withstand the wind and waves.
Some people cry when they meet, but they can't tell me what they are.
Liu Jian was so scared that he didn't dare to go home, and stayed in the cabinet all day long.
The officials in the court ignored the combat effectiveness of these princes. They took advantage of the situation and looked for all the relationships they could find.
So much so that Emperor Hongzhi was helpless against them.
At the end of the month, the edict came out, and there were seventy-nine square countries, twenty-seven of which were generous, fifty-two small squares, and a map of the world, marking the location.
The so-called generous and small square actually has little meaning.
Because this thing has no boundaries at all, it only designates a place to build a city. Of course, there are existing "cities". For example, in many places, immigrants have already built a settlement.
As for the outside of the city, there are "native people" everywhere, the scope of your activity depends entirely on your own efforts.
If you don’t work hard, maybe... the natives burned your family.
The clans can't tell which one is better or worse.
I only remember that Fang Jifan wanted to go to Kunlun Continent, which was extremely popular. Kunlun Continent had a total of thirteen Fang countries, and they were stolen all at once.
The next big hit is the southern part of Golden Continent.
It was developed there early, and the Ming Dynasty fleet arrived for the first time, and relatively speaking, there was no danger.
The worst is Australia and the northern part of the Golden Continent.
It is said that Australia is a desert, and the natives are very barbaric. Therefore, there are only four countries there.
The most terrifying thing is the northern part of the Golden Continent.
Not only were there a large number of natives there, but... the Spanish established settlements there. The Spanish were not weak in combat. Everyone was vivid in their memory of the lessons of Xinjin City. It was hard to say that when the people arrived, the Spanish army and horses arrived.
A little further north is a place where the weather is cold and freezing, and under the existing conditions, it is not worth developing at all.
After all the relatives rolled up their sleeves and divided them up.
What was left to Fang Jifan...is this place.
The country's name is Lu.
The location is probably near the Great Lakes.
This prescription country is alone, only two countries.
After the setbacks in the Southern Golden Continent, Spain has been operating in the north of the Golden Continent, close to it, and there is a danger of being attacked by colonists at any time.
When everyone saw Fang Jifan’s position as Fang Guo, they suddenly... their mentality became calm.
No matter what, no matter how miserable it is, can the Fang family be miserable?
Lu and Qi are surrounded by enemies. This place... has neither minerals were found, and it is extremely dangerous. Thinking about it, it makes people feel very excited.
Emperor Hongzhi had probably seen the map, but he was worried about Fang Jifan.
When he summoned Fang Jifan to meet, he couldn't help but say, "Jifan, this place is a very bad place. It's better, I'll change my fiefdom."
Fang Jifan shook his head: "If Your Majesty changes his fiefdom, will other clans be convinced? They must make trouble again. Those who are consciously dissatisfied must beg Your Majesty to change them. Your Majesty wants to eliminate the dispute. This is the only way."
When Emperor Hongzhi heard this, he couldn't help but sigh: "If this is the case, you will be too wronged."
Fang Jifan shook his head: "It's nothing if my son suffers a little grievance. As long as you don't let Your Majesty make things difficult for you."
This is my son-in-law. Look at him, he never asks for benefits from him. He always rushes forward in the most difficult and difficult places.
Such a loyal and honest man can't even find him with a lantern.
Emperor Hongzhi sighed, his eyes turned slightly red. He looked at Xiao Jing and said, "Xiao Jing, you should learn from Jifan so that you can win my heart."
Xiao Jing smiled faintly: "Oh."
...
As soon as this news came out, Beijing was infuriated.
I heard that the princes were all enfeoffed, and there were few princes in the capital, countless royal families and countless followers, which caused some market fluctuations. Especially the prices of the mansions were a little loose.
Of course, what everyone is most concerned about is where the Fang family will go.
When he learned that Lu and Qi were enfeoffed north of the Golden Continent, the printed map of the world suddenly became popular.
Like Fang Jifan, who also takes the world as his responsibility, of course, he will inevitably be envied by mediocre people.
Everyone bought the World Map and found the location. When they saw it, they burst out and burst out and laughed.
It's so satisfying.
Fang Jifan, you are today.
From now on, all your Fang family will go there, and most of them will be killed by the natives and Spanish.
Many clan relatives were depressed at first, after all, they had to let the guards and servants go to the fiefdom first and build a city. Within five years, they would also have to go to the vassal state.
But now when I saw Fang Jifan, I felt calm.
Fang Jifan returned to his mansion and began to prepare for the construction of the city. The Fang family's relatives had to migrate to a large number of them.
However... the Fang family has been separated for generations and has a small population, which is different from other vassal kings.
For example, the first generation of Zhou kings was born from Emperor Taizu. Now, after several generations, in addition to the King of Zhou who inherited the title, there are several princes below. Below the princes, there are hundreds of auxiliary generals and lieutenants, and these people have their own guards and servants, and they can easily lead a team of tens of thousands of people.
Fang Jifan held his chin and thoughtful.
However, Wang Jinyuan was angry at it: "Young Master, this is so bullying. The young master has made so many contributions, why should I enfeoff the enfeoffment there? Young Master... Young Master..."
Fang Jifan said, "You know nothing!"
Wang Jinyuan immediately stopped talking.
"This is a good place. It is neither the Southern Golden Continent. It is located in a hot place and the land is rich. Climbing on the trees to pick wild fruits can make people full. However, although my young master's fiefdom needs to be cultivated to produce grain, only in this way can the people under his ruler know how to invest and produce output. The people of Lu and Qi will be good in the future and will not be as lazy as the people of Southern Golden Continent."
