Fang Jifan nodded with satisfaction.

He walked down and then arrived in front of a team of navy trainees.

The students stood straight and looked solemnly, but they couldn't hide their excitement.

This is easy to understand, after all... this is the first time that the Grand Master has visited the Navy Academy in person, what does this mean?

Moreover, they need to worship the portrait of the Grand Master before morning class every day.

Looking at the portrait every day, I finally saw the real person, jumping around and blinking, and I was so excited!

Fang Jifan walked to a student and said, "What's your name?"

The student said: "Student Li Yue."

Fang Jifan nodded: "No, I can be a general in the future."

Li Yue immediately said, "Master, how dare the student..."

Fang Jifan then looked stern: "I don't even have the ambition to be a general, so I deserve to join my disciple?"

After hearing this, Li Yue shook his body and immediately said, "Yes, the student wants to be a general."

Fang Jifan scolded again: "A bastard, you can be a general, so you want to be a general, you are too ambitious!"

Li Yue suddenly looked panicked and felt a little helpless.

Fang Jifan left behind his hands.

Xu Jing hurriedly caught up and said, "Mr...."

Fang Jifan said lightly: "What do you want to say?"

Xu Jing: “…”

Fang Jifan said with a smile: "You must be thinking, you are so inhumane, right? Alas, you don't understand, you have difficulties in being a teacher. Do you think I like to scold people and bastards, dogs?"

Xu Jing kept silent.

It was not until Fang Jifan glared at him that he hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, what his mentor said is reasonable."

So Fang Jifan said with emotion: "Isn't it just to be a teacher who works so hard for the country and the people to eliminate evil? Isn't it just to be able to do whatever he wants? What's wrong with scolding people?"

This is the ultimate truth that Fang Jifan learned when he came to this world.

In two lifetimes, I am already an alien, with an advanced mind and a giant's vision. In a conservative era, although it is not like a Franchise machine, I need to be roasted on a stolen rack, but it will never be tolerated by the world.

So Fang Jifan figured it out.

He is a person with a fair and positive outlook on his own. Since he is determined to do good things, he simply does this good thing to the end. As for what means to use, it is secondary.

People always try to use reason to convince each other, and later generations take it for granted that if they find some ideas from later generations and reason with the ancients, they can convince the ancients. But in fact...

This is all bullshit. The ancients studied classics for thousands of years, whether it was cultural level, thinking logic, or thoughts that evolved from generation to generation, which had long formed a logical closed loop. If you reason with him, any scholar could press you to the ground, rub you against the flesh and blood, and if someone spitted, he could nail you to the ground and never get up for a lifetime.

So Fang Jifan was determined to be unreasonable and do good deeds for people. Why do you have to be reasonable? Just smash the big fist of a casserole. If it is not enough, then send it to the Golden Continent.

What he needs is to make people fear, and then obey under fear, and wait until they obey according to Fang Jifan's instructions. In the process of doing things, when they find that Fang Jifan's set is indeed effective, they will reflect, constantly think, and then reverse the situation, and finally slowly find out Fang Jifan's set of theories.

Only by solving the problem can the problem be solved by solving the problem first. This is an eternal truth.

Fang Jifan sighed faintly. Sure enough, people with a higher level of thinking are lonely!

Immediately, he inspected the steam iron armored ship.

There are now eleven steam ironclad ships.

Among them, there are three first generation ships, five second generation ships, and three third generation ironclad ships that have been launched so far.

At the same time, there are two ships under construction and planned to be launched within the year.

The ironclad ships of the previous two generations had frequent problems, and many places were not designed ideally. There was even a ship that entered the port for maintenance almost every few days. It is still lying in the dock and can only be used as a training ship now.

Fang Jifan was very interested and probably asked about the combat plan of the ironclad ships on the ocean.

In fact, before that, Sihai Commercial Bank and Ningbo Navy had already done the preliminary work.

They conducted exploration on the main channel to ensure that the main routes can ensure access to routes with deep draft.

Not only that, from Tianjin Wei to Ningbo, then to Quanzhou and Jiaozhi, even to Malacca, and then to Cape of Good Hope, along the way, the Ningbo Navy occupied these strategic areas and built ports.

These were originally used for commerce and supply to the Golden Continent. Of course, the Sihai Commercial Bank also continuously transported coal and a large amount of materials to this port like pearl chains, and in the future it would serve as a supply to the ironclad ship.

It can almost be said... although Fang Jifan didn't pay much attention.

However, as Ningbo Navy and Sihai Commercial Bank gradually form a system, they and the ability to independently formulate plans, and senior figures have also become forward-looking.

Therefore... as long as it is within the Ming Dynasty's sphere of influence, the ironclad ship can be docked and replenished at any time, add coal, gunpowder, fresh water, medicines, and perform simple repairs.

As Xu Jing's plan began to be implemented, the preliminary work and the long-distance voyage plan became even more urgent.

When Fang Jifan realized that his disciple Xu Jing could stand alone, Fang Jifan naturally decided to become a hand-off manager, and slipped back to the capital overnight and lay down again.

The news came to Zhu Houzhao.

Zhu Houzhao, the chief commander of the Navy, was most interested in the memorial on war preparations!

He even hung a giant sea chart directly on the floor-to-ceiling glass wall of Fengtian Hall.

So whenever I went to court, the officials looked at the chart and felt like who I am, where I am, why am I here? Is this the center or the water camp of the navy?

Some people were indignant and wanted to throw their black hats.

Of course, these thoughts have been taken care of countless times in my mind. After all, everyone wants to have a meal. Now the official salary is not low, and it is no longer the same as before. The so-called official salary is to give you rice, oil and salt. Now the treasure money is issued, which can be exchanged for real money and silver at the Xishan Money House.

When Zhu Houzhao reviewed the memorial, he stared at the map and asked Crown Prince Zhu Zaimo to sit on one side and watch the memorial.

He sometimes sighed at Zhu Zaimo: "The fat of the father is getting more and more, and it is no longer the same as before! Alas... Time flies like an arrow, like a flash of time. It's a pity that I only have one son like you, why there is only one? It's such a strange thing. How great would it be if the Zhu family had more men."

Zhu Zaimo looked up, stared at his father, and remained silent.

The father and son looked at each other for a moment, and Zhu Houzhao was very happy: "Haha, I am just a joke. I am content with you and a son. What's the point of having a boy? If you have too many children, you will inevitably be at ease at home. Come on, rub my feet. I haven't ridden and squirted these days, and my legs and feet are a little sore and numb."

Zhu Zaimo got up, saluted first, then bent his knees forward, and gently rubbed Zhu Houzhao's calves.

Zhu Houzhao sighed again: "Zaimo, what would happen if you were the emperor?"

Zhu Zaimo said: "The emperor cut off the thorns and eliminated internal troubles. But if the father wants to be the emperor, he will definitely eliminate external worries. By the time of his son, the world was already peaceful. What his son wanted to do was Xiao Gui Cao Sui, and he repaired it on the basis of his father and ancestor."

This seems to fit Zhu Houzhao's thoughts, so Zhu Houzhao said happily: "I read history books and say that the prince of the wise emperor is the most difficult to achieve. With such a wise emperor, you will probably not be able to achieve anything in the future! But this is not important, it is also good to be the Emperor Taiping."

Zhu Zaimo: “…”

What can he say?

These days, Zhu Houzhao is actually counting on his days every day.

Finally it is the end of the year.

At this time... the two new ships were launched and returned to the sea trial. The result was not unexpected. With several generations of improvements, the new ships have become more mature. Not only excellent in performance, but their stability is excellent.

Fang Jifan received the report and was relieved, but in the middle of the night of that day, he suddenly heard that His Majesty had an order.

Fang Jifan was woken up in the middle of the night and was a little confused, so he had to get up and go to the hall to prepare to receive the order.

The eunuch came, and the eunuch said, "Your Majesty asked the Duke of Zhenguo to enter the palace overnight. Your Majesty is seriously ill..."

Fang Jifan suddenly woke up and was shocked.

I was still fine the day before yesterday, and I was jumping around, so why did something happen today?

He did not hesitate anymore and immediately left the mansion. There were already carriages and horses outside. A group of guards were waiting here as if they were bereaved.

Fang Jifan said with a tense face: "How is Your Majesty seriously ill?"

"When I was traveling in the back garden, I fell into water and got sick when I got ashore. My fever has not subsided."

Fang Jifan took a deep breath. He suddenly felt that his nose was a little unsatisfied, and immediately roared: "Why don't you call me an imperial physician? Dog thing. I think it's just a cold. Soon... I'm going to enter the palace."

Fang Jifan climbed onto the carriage quickly.

As soon as I sat down, I felt my eyes a little sore and my tears had not yet fallen, but I heard a locked sound outside the car door.

Fang Jifan: "..."

He was shocked and then slapped the door: "Why are you still locked? Why are you still locked?"

The old eunuch was outside and said in fear: "Don't let go of anger... This is the will of Your Majesty, and the servants, etc., and they are doing it according to the order."

Fang Jifan: "..."

At this time, under the night, the old eunuch said at the top of his voice: "Hurry, hurry up, send it away quickly. Your Majesty has been waiting for a long time. If the deadline is lost, we will definitely die."

So under the bright moonlight, the carriage rolled away.

Dozens of imperial guards guarded in front, and under the night, there were countless soldiers and horses following behind.

Based on Fang Jifan's experience of stuffing people into a carriage and locking them over the years, he suddenly realized that... he seemed to have been plotted against.
Chapter completed!
