Chapter 1482: King Zhongyi County
Time can actually pass very quickly, and Fang Jinglong has been out of the sea for ten years.
Now, I finally returned. Although it was on the grounds of curing diseases and nourishing my body, I thought I was hoping to meet Fang Jifan.
Fang Jifan was ordered to wait for Fang Jinglong in Tianjin early.
When Fang Jinglong arrived at the port and the father and son met, Fang Jifan tried hard to suppress the touch in his heart and immediately bowed: "Father..."
There was a clear choking in the voice.
After all, Fang Jifan was not a heartless person. At this time, he had long left the word "brain disease" behind him.
Fang Jinglong had gained weight before, his hair was growing day by day, and the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes became more obvious than before. Although he was tired, he could see Fang Jifan, so he rushed forward and pulled Fang Jifan up, then hugged his head and cried bitterly.
"I'm back, I'm back. I finally met today. I'm always worried about you for a day. I'm afraid you will cause trouble, I'm afraid you will cause trouble, I'm afraid you will cause trouble, I'm afraid you..."
Fang Jifan's eyes turned red involuntarily, and he sucked his nose, and finally calmed down his inner excitement.
"Father, I have ordered Tang Yin to clean up the house in Tianjin Wei and ask my father to stay for the time being. My father is tired, so I will take a break first. After taking a shower, my son will accompany my father to have two drinks."
After hearing this, Fang Jinglong wiped his tears, but shook his head stubbornly and said, "No, there is no need to rest. Go back to Beijing immediately, you can't delay for a moment."
Fang Jifan was stunned, looked at his father's tired face and advised: "But... it's getting late. Even if you go back now, I'm afraid that it will be dark when you arrive. Why not here..."
Fang Jinglong said solemnly: "You, don't understand. Let's go, let's set off now and prepare horses for your father."
Fang Jinglong did not take a car, but ordered people to ride a fast horse. Fang Jifan had no choice but to ride a horse with him.
Fang Jifan was worried that Fang Jinglong would not be able to withstand the body along the way. You know, his father had been bumping in the sea for so many days.
Fang Jinglong seemed to know Fang Jifan's thoughts. While walking on horseback, he looked at Fang Jifan deeply and said, "Silly son, you still can't learn it yet. Our Fang family is now at the peak of the sky. It is not an exaggeration to be the world's number one rich family. He is a father and a prince, and he is also ordered to maintain the Golden Continent. You are now considered a general and a prime minister. Think about it, which family of people can match our family?"
"But the more this happens, the more you need to be cautious. If you stay in Tianjin Wei for a night, you may seem negligent. The ability of the Fang family and his son is second. The most important thing is to let people know that loyalty and righteousness are the foundation of our Fang family. Even if His Majesty trusts us and has many holy relatives, everyone in the world is watching us. It is not a big deal to stay here for a night, but we ourselves need to know ourselves. This is the way to be a minister. You can be incompetent, but you cannot neglect and give people a handle."
Fang Jifan touched his nose and still felt that Fang Jinglong had made a big deal. Of course... It seems that it makes sense that the Fang family can continue to this day.
Fang Jinglong rode on the horse, exhausted. Although he had changed into new clothes, he could not hide the tits of his sailing all the way, but he was still energetic and did not dare to stop for a moment.
Along the way... the father and son have a lot to say.
All the people from the Fang family went to the Golden Continent and began to carry out cultivation. There was a lot of pressure at once. Although these Fang family members were uneasy along the way, they had to calm down when they arrived at the place. They had no way out and were wholeheartedly the people of their Qilu Kingdom.
As for other current situations in Golden Continent, Fang Jinglong had no time to say.
At dusk that day, I finally arrived in the capital.
Emperor Hongzhi has been much more relaxed recently, but Xiao Jing is missing around him, and he always feels a little uncomfortable.
He is older and has less energy than before. When he reads the memorial, he has to move people closer to the oil lamp, take a magnifying glass, and read it word by word.
"Your Majesty...Your Majesty..."
A little eunuch hurried in.
Emperor Hongzhi was in a trance and looked up.
"Report to Your Majesty, the Prince of Xinjin has arrived in Beijing and has arrived at the Ministry of Rites to request an audience."
Emperor Hongzhi was stunned and said in surprise: "Didn't this ship arrive at noon? Why did you enter Beijing now?"
"After the prince arrived at Tianjin Wei, he rushed over and rushed forward, and did not dare to miss it in the middle of the journey."
When Emperor Hongzhi heard this, he couldn't help but feel silent.
He knew the hardships of the sea, but he was afraid that if someone else had changed to him, he would lie on the land directly when he arrived on the shore and refused to get up again.
Emperor Hongzhi originally expected Fang Jinglong to rest for one or two days before entering Beijing. He even prepared an order to order Xie Qian, the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet, to go out of the capital to greet him personally, but he didn't know that Fang Jinglong came ashore and came back without stopping.
"Hey..." Emperor Hongzhi sighed, "This is a waste of life, why bother?"
Immediately, Emperor Hongzhi cheered up: "Open the Ming Gate and welcome the King of Xinjin into the palace."
Although the Ming Gate is open.
But Fang Jinglong did not enter the palace by himself, but instead entered the Wumen Gate with Fang Jifan.
Many ministers had already come to Fengtian Palace.
When the eunuch came to report out of breath, "Your Majesty, Prince Xinjin, entered the palace from the Meridian Gate."
All the ministers were silent. Some people thought to themselves, look at how loyal and righteous the King of Xinjin is. Now that they have reached such a level, they are still so cautious. If someone else had made great contributions and had such a holy relative, they would have long been able to reach the sky. But it was surprising that the King of Xinjin was so nervous and terrified.
This is not a warrior.
Emperor Hongzhi felt both regretful and particularly excited.
The dignified prince was guarding Huangjinzhou. He heard that he was injured in several battles. He was walking on thin ice and was surrounded by dangers. When he came back this time, he was unwilling to accept the courtesy he treated him at all, which made Emperor Hongzhi feel even more guilty.
Not long after, Fang Jinglong and Fang Jifan came side by side.
Fang Jinglong entered the hall and bowed directly: "I have seen Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live!"
The sound is still sonorous and powerful.
However, the master of this powerful voice was already white in his beard and had already shown an old look at his age in his fifties.
Emperor Hongzhi stared at Fang Jinglong, his eyes were slightly red. He couldn't help but raise his face, and he didn't want the tears from the corners of his eyes to fall. Then he took a deep breath and calmed down his mood a little before opening his mouth: "Qing Family...Qing Family..."
Speaking of this, the voice still choked uncontrollably, so he hurriedly raised his sleeves and wiped the corners of his eyes.
He couldn't help laughing: "As soon as a person grows old, he will become more and more unable to control his emotions. Let's just sit down, come and give him a seat to the King of Xinjin."
The eunuch moved to Jindun.
Fang Jinglong just owed to sit down: "Your Majesty is old, I am old, I am in the Golden Continent, and I am very worried about Your Majesty. I learned that Your Majesty is still diligent and working hard day and night, and the old Majesty... is very worried..."
Emperor Hongzhi sighed, not knowing what to say.
Fang Jinglong also said: "The old minister was ordered to settle Huangjinzhou. In recent years, the Han people have increased by 210,000 households, a total of one million people, built 47 cities, seven ports, and reclaimed farmland, which is enough for military and civilians. The Franji people also have a large number of immigrants, and a large number of people arrived at Huangjinzhou, with a large number of people..."
Emperor Hongzhi was stunned and said in a somewhat surprised tone: "Is their population also increasing?"
"This..." Fang Jinglong smiled bitterly, and he wanted to speak but stopped.
Emperor Hongzhi cheered up: "Why is this?"
Fang Jinglong had no choice but to say: "I heard that there was a crisis in Franchise. Many people could not eat, starve everywhere, and were extremely furious. So many people who went bankrupt and lost their livelihood were eager to go out to sea to settle down. In the past, a Franchise ship only transported hundreds of people, but now a Franchise ship sent thousands of people. The supply in the ship was insufficient. Everyone was stuffed under the cabin like cans. After one trip, the immigrants died 30% or even 40%, but even so, they still couldn't stop someone from rushing to sea. Your Majesty, Franchise people are different from the natives of Golden Continent and Kunlun Continent. They are hard-working and fearless. Their patience is not inferior to our Ming soldiers and civilians. In the future... they will be a major concern."
Franc... Crisis... Chaos... Starving... Scramble to go out to sea...
Fang Jifan stood aside, smiling, but his face was frozen at this moment.
Emperor Hongzhi was also confused.
He looked at Fang Jifan, and the king and his ministers stared at each other.
Fang Jinglong seemed to see nothing unusual and continued: "The old minister thought that this must be Franjiren's conspiracy. This matter is not small. The truth must be revealed. Perhaps... this is Franjiren's bitter plan to abuse the people..."
Emperor Hongzhi: "..."
"Cough cough..." Fang Jifan coughed beside him and said, "Father, let this matter be put aside for the time being. The problem of Franchise immigration has to be dealt with well, but there is no need to rush for a moment."
Fang Jinglong glanced at Fang Jifan and couldn't help but say, "This is a huge matter. Why is there no hurry? The court should come up with a solution immediately."
Emperor Hongzhi said awkwardly: "Yes, yes, Fang Qing's family is loyal to the country. I... feel very relieved, but I don't know what difficulties there are in this Golden Continent?"
Fang Jinglong felt very strange. His Majesty did not want the truth to be revealed at all for such a big thing, but now His Majesty has changed the subject and he had to say: "There are difficulties, but the military and civilians who went to the Golden Continent are all leaving their hometowns, so they can deal with it together."
