Chapter Seven Hundred and Twenty Seven: His Majesty Arrives
Lobsters in this era are different from lobsters in later generations.
Because this lobster is an omnivorous food, it is not important to eat too much in later generations due to pollution. In this era, it doesn’t matter.
Although this thing is not very nutritious, it is even more nutritious than ordinary meat.
People need to eat meat, and they need to be nutritious.
This is Fang Jifan's most simple concept.
Only with nutrition can one have strength. In this era, too many people have pale faces, thin skin, and are extremely weak. To put it bluntly, human power, even if you want to ride on these people, you have to be strong first. Otherwise, you have no strength to farm, no strength to build river embankments, and even if you recruit soldiers, you are all skinny and bone-skinned. Even if you want to work hard for you, you will not be able to sell it.
Some people can't figure this out, but Fang Jifan's small abacus has been upgraded to the level of integrated circuit digital computers. It can run complex operations without barriers, and even has a certain amount of graphics processing capabilities.
The only thing that is worrying is that the crayfish in the pond will escape and eventually become wild crayfish, and then become invasive species, destroying the ecology of our Jiangxi.
But if you think about it carefully, at present, this real invasive species in Jiangxi should be millions of Jiangxi’s cousins. Invade, what kind of invade you? You can’t eat you to death!
Fang Jifan squatted by the pond and waved to Xiong Er: "Come on."
Xiong Er came over honestly: "What are the commands of the lieutenant?"
Fang Jifan said: "From today, don't do anything, just stay here, no matter when he will keep it for me, keep an eye on these shrimps."
Xiong Er nodded: "I know, don't let the shrimp run away?"
Fang Jifan said furiously: "Don't let those damn cousins steal my shrimps."
"Oh, oh." Xiong Er became alert: "Poke, they dare not steal it, they can't afford to hit them if they steal it."
Crayfish are easy to feed, especially in environments like Jiangxi.
In the future, Fang Jifan will not only raise shrimps in the pond, but also in the harvested rice fields.
He stood up and asked the military farmer Chen Wang to stay here, explain some precautions for breeding, and then slipped back to his shed.
Zhu Houzhao came over panting.
Although it was the cold winter month, Zhu Houzhao was wearing a short dress and was steaming all over. As soon as she entered the shed, she drank all the tea that Fang Jifan had just drunk in one mouthful, and wiped her mouth and said, "There are more than 300 refugees coming, so many refugees in Jiangxi?"
Fang Jifan shook his head: "Your Highness, King Ning is doing his best, and the people are hungry and cold. Now that your Highness recovers Nanchang, the soldiers, people and the people are all happy and cheerful, eating pots of slurry to welcome the king's army!"
Zhu Houzhao said laughing and crying: "They brought their mouths, where can I get a pot of rice and pulp?"
Fang Jifan said: "This is a modification."
Zhu Houzhao sighed: "There are so many people to support now. Today..." He took out a book from his waist and lowered his head and said: "Today, 1,235 acres of land have been reclaimed, but it is not enough, what should I do?"
Fang Jifan said: "It's not easy. Poyang Lake can also build dams around the lake, which is reasonable. The place is large and there are many acres of land. However, in order to prevent heavy rain and the river water from surging, and even the fields that have finally been reclaimed are destroyed. It is best to clear several canals out. In this way, when the water rises, you can drain the flood through the river and irrigate the land along the coast. But... if you want to build a canal, you are afraid that a lot of manpower will be wasted."
"We have people." Zhu Houzhao was happy: "Okay, I'll tell them to do it."
Zhu Houzhao was very serious in doing things, took out the book, picked up the pen, and wrote down Fang Jifan's words.
Fang Jifan said: "I heard that Your Majesty is coming?"
"It has nothing to do with me whether I love comes or not."
Fang Jifan narrowed his eyes: "Your Highness, have you forgotten that you have issued so many decrees?"
Zhu Houzhao's face was blue and white: "This... this is the will of the father."
"Oh." Fang Jifan nodded: "I understand. It's Your Majesty's imperial edict. Your Majesty is indeed very good at knowing people. You can see your highness's talent at a glance. You have granted so many official positions to Your Highness. No one knows his son is better than his father. It's amazing."
“…”
Zhu Houzhao laughed dryly: "Haha, haha, I don't want to pay attention to you."
He felt a little relieved, and Zhu Houzhao hurried out of the shed and pointed to the flying fairground in the sky: "Call Yang Biao and some more, and paint it again. What are you doing in this way? I am afraid that others will not know that this palace is here."
…………
After six days of driving, we arrived in Nanchang Prefecture.
First, a team of eunuchs and guards came to find His Royal Highness, but he did not know that His Royal Highness was not in Nanchang City, but on the other side of the river.
It should be noted that in this era, there were no bridges in the north and south of the Ganjiang River, so the eunuchs had to look at each other across the river. This was the Nanchang Mansion, which was singing and dancing, and on the other side, there was a vast shack. They stomped their feet in a hurry and hurriedly brought the ferry to cross the river, and found Fang Jifan: "Where is Your Highness the Crown Prince?"
Fang Jifan said: "I went to Meiling to collect quarries."
"Your Majesty is coming, you're coming in a blink of an eye." The eunuchs stamped their feet in anger: "Your Majesty will definitely not be happy if you don't see the prince."
Fang Jifan had no choice but to order someone to go to Meiling, and said, "Don't be anxious, don't be anxious, I'll go pick you up."
Fang Jifan followed them across the river to the east bank and hurried to the bell and drum tower. At this time, he had already entered the city with a mighty journey.
Emperor Hongzhi was riding a horse, and he was able to ride a horse. Calluses were grinding between his strands, so he didn't feel anything unusual. At the city gate, the Jiangxi Provincial Administration and the officials of Nanchang Prefecture came to greet him. Seeing the emperor riding on the horse, he was very fierce and bowed and shouted long live.
Fang Jifan hid in the crowd, pretending that His Majesty could not see him and buried his head.
Who knew that Emperor Hongzhi's sharp eyes fell on Fang Jifan: "Where is the prince?"
The officials from Nanchang were all stunned and didn't know how to answer. His Royal Highness, the Crown Prince, ignored them after entering the city. After taking people to the west bank of Ganjiang, he never came back. The Crown Prince had a bad temperament and no one dared to provoke him. Who knows what he was doing.
Fang Jifan had no choice but to say, "Your Majesty, Your Highness, the Crown Prince, are crawling quarries."
"What are you doing for quarrying?" Emperor Hongzhi felt strange.
Fang Jifan said: "Cultivate quarries and build river embankments."
Build... river embankment...
"I'll go and have a look."
Fang Jifan said: "Your Majesty, there is on the west bank of Ganjiang River. I am afraid I will take a ferry to go there."
Emperor Hongzhi curled his lips indifferently: "He can go, but I can go."
But after Emperor Hongzhi finished speaking, the governor of Jiangxi Wang Zhen hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, you must not go."
"Why?" Emperor Hongzhi frowned.
"This..." Wang Zhen glanced at Fang Jifan and was a little hesitant.
Emperor Hongzhi said, "You said that."
Wang Zhen had to bite the bullet and said, "Your Majesty, there are mostly pirates there, including pirates from Poyang Lake and pirates from Meiling, which are extremely vicious... When the Prince's Highness wanted to cross the river, I was already extremely frightened. If there was any mistake, I would not die in burial place, and I would never forgive me for my death. I also sent troops to cross the river to protect the Prince's Highness. But who expected that the Prince's Highness drove them back. These thieves had a hard time changing their habits. I was only afraid that these thieves, although they were temporarily suppressed, their thieves would be unable to change their nature. Once Your Majesty crossed the river, these people..."
Emperor Hongzhi frowned and said sternly: "Since that's the case, why is the prince there?"
It turns out that there is a thief's nest.
Sure enough, this boy Zhu Houzhao would go wherever he was dangerous.
In this era, the boundaries between officers and soldiers and thieves are very clear. For the superior officials, thieves are thieves. They do not act as safe and starve, and they will be liked by the mantis. This is a violation of the rules and is a sin that is only sinful and must not be trusted.
Emperor Hongzhi reads memorials every day, and the officials in this place reported the thieves from all over the place, most of them were how cruel and vicious the thieves were, and they would be affected by these memorials.
When he heard that the prince was alone in a thief's nest, his face turned blue.
Fang Jifan said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, Governor Wang, what you said is too much. These people are not thieves."
Wang Zhen glanced at Fang Jifan in fear. This commander was not very reasonable. Wang Zhen was really afraid of him, so he did not argue with Fang Jifan.
Emperor Hongzhi frowned: "I'll go and have a look."
Emperor Hongzhi was about to leave when he beat the horse.
Wang Zhen was anxious again: "Your Majesty, it's better to wait for a few days. The river is surging and there is no bridge. The army cannot pass. It's better to wait for a few days. I will try my best to recruit hundreds of ferries... and order the army to go over first, and then your Majesty..."
"I can't wait." Emperor Hongzhi looked at Fang Jifan: "I asked you Fang Jifan, can I cross the river now?"
Fang Jifan thought about it: Cross the river."
Wang Zhen and others were in an uproar.
Now that you cross the river, how many guards can you bring? If something happens, who will be the one who will?
Emperor Hongzhi thought about it and seemed to have made up his mind: "The prince can go, and I can go too. Fang Jifan, come and lead the way, Xiao's partner, Ouyang Qing's family, you two choose a hundred imperial guards and go with me."
Wang Zhen couldn't help but kneel down: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty is in charge of all directions, so how can you enter the thief's nest rashly? I... I am willing to follow you and protect Your Majesty."
Emperor Hongzhi ignored him.
After a while, several ferries were requisitioned, more than one hundred people. First, a commander led dozens of people to the other side, and then the ferry returned. Emperor Hongzhi, Fang Jifan and others got on the ferry. Wang Zhen finally got on the boat, but he was frightened and looked confused. Looking around, he saw an old acquaintance, which was Zhang Sheng.
Zhang Sheng is the Minister of Rites. When Wang Zhen was still in the Censorate, he was considered his old official. Wang Zhen couldn't help but step forward and said, "Don't Zhang remember the official? Mr. Zhang, I'm afraid it's a risky person across the river. Your Majesty went rashly, but I'm afraid it was inappropriate. Why didn't Mr. Zhang persuade him?"
Zhang Sheng looked straight and said to himself, my son wants to come on the other side, who cares about you!
Then he stroked his beard and kept silent.
Wang Zhen made a boring thing.
