But Fang Jifan¡¯s words were like a huge stone being dropped into the hearts of Emperor Hongzhi and other monarchs, sending ripples out of their hearts.
Brought back from the sea?
Overseas again?
? Overseas, there are high-yield grains and precious medicinal materials.
In the past, all the policies of the imperial court were centered around reducing expenditure.
Because people stick to the conventional wisdom and believe that the Ming Dynasty only has so many products. In order to prepare for the shortage of products in disaster years, we must put an end to luxury, stay at home and save what we can.
Therefore, the Ming Dynasty was proud of frugality, but war? If you can avoid it, avoid it. After all, if the war breaks out, all the money will go to waste. Sailing to the West? It's such a waste. Emperor Wen's national policy of going to the West is still criticized by many people. All expenditures of the imperial court should be saved as much as possible. Even if it was to raise soldiers, they would allocate a piece of land to farm the land themselves, and they would not be paid.
Under this established national policy, in fact, from the early Ming Dynasty to the present, the revenue of the national treasury has hardly increased much. What it was like more than a hundred years ago is what it is like today.
Fang Jifan¡¯s greatest contribution lies not in his achievements, but in the fact that he opened a new door for the monarchs and ministers.
It turns out that in addition to cutting costs, there is also the possibility of increasing revenue.
The emergence of sweet potatoes and potatoes greatly increased the grain production, and the fishing of marine fish not only increased the income of the imperial court, but also used fishing to raise Japanese guards, thereby deterring overseas Japanese pirates and solving the problem of Japanese invasion. Although the voyage to the West cost a lot of money, its effects have begun to show. If this great epidemic continues to rage, no one can imagine how many people will die. But only a certain tree species brought back from overseas , but it saved countless people and even strengthened the rule of the southwest. It was not necessary for the imperial court to spend countless manpower and material resources on disaster relief after the disaster, not to mention the imperial court recruiting officers and soldiers from other places to enter Guizhou, Yunnan, and Guangxi provinces. Refill the void left after the catastrophe.
As for the 'Guangzong Yaozu Eunuch Xiao' tree, Emperor Hongzhi knew that it was just Fang Jifan teasing Xiao Jing. This was a small detail. Fang Jifan had such a temperament, and Xiao Banban was a generous person, so he would not argue with him.
Fang Jifan said: "After the tree seeds were brought back, the field guards worked tirelessly to plant this tree, especially Zhang Xin"
Emperor Hongzhi pressed his hands: "I know, you have to ask for merit for them again. Okay, okay, if you have merit, you will be rewarded with three hundred catties of gold."
""
Fang Jifan began to doubt life a little.
Three hundred pounds of copper is very worrying.
Liu Jian and others also looked embarrassed.
The reward standard for internal funds is three hundred catties, which is already a relatively high standard.
In the early Ming Dynasty, this number was even more astonishing.
But that¡¯s what the court¡¯s laws are, so what else can it do?
Although this is quite embarrassing, after allit is really hard to do anything.
From the beginning to the end, Fang Jifan looked depressed, his brows were furrowed and he was worried.
Emperor Hongzhi, Liu Jian and others became interested and went to see the 'Guangzong Yaozu Eunuch Xiao Tree' in person. Emperor Hongzhi called Zhang Xin and others over and praised it mercilessly.
Zhang Xin and others were particularly excited about His Majesty's praise. Some even cried, sniffed, knelt down, and bowed three times to praise our Emperor's grace.
Emperor Hongzhi was a delicate person. He saw that Fang Jifan had always been worried, but he didn't show anything. At noon, Wen Yansheng cooked and made a table of wine and food. The monarchs and ministers happily sat around in the hall of the Zhenguo Mansion and ate happily.
Emperor Hongzhi ate some wine and was a little tipsy. He said with emotion: "Pingxi Hou Zhongyi, my son-in-law is also very good. I have no regrets in giving Xiurong the formula to inherit the vassal."
Liu Jian and others took the opportunity to say some compliments.
After three rounds of drinking, Emperor Hongzhi set off and prepared to drive back to the palace.
Emperor Hongzhi was slightly drunk, Xiao Jing was going to help Emperor Hongzhi, but Emperor Hongzhi waved his hand and said: "Heir, come here."
Fang Jifan looked sad, but he had no choice but to step forward and help Emperor Hongzhi get into the sedan. Emperor Hongzhi whispered: "Your father is safe and sound, why are you so depressed?"
Fang Jifan shook his head: "It's nothing, I'm very kind."
Emperor Hongzhi¡¯s drunken eyes were piercing, and he seemed to see through Fang Jifan¡¯s inner anxiety at a glance: ¡°You have something to say, but it¡¯s okay to say it. What can¡¯t you say to me, my husband-in-law?¡±
Fang Jifan swallowed his saliva and thought for a while: "I still dare not say anything."
?p; Shen Ao said: "Send an order to camp here, and also send people to their camp to scold them."
After a while, everyone came to the stronghold one after another, and the military stronghold immediately became alert. The Annan people seemed to feel the malice of these uninvited guests, and they immediately became alert.
At the bottom of the military camp, a guide who was proficient in Annan came out and began to curse.
Naturally, he denounced the Annamites for violating the border and being so bold, and told them to go back immediately, otherwise what would happen.
The Annan people in the military stronghold were unmoved.
"However, the more the words are scolded, the more unpleasant they sound. The Annan people in this village are also a little angry in their hearts.
The guide at the base of the village is born with a good voice. After all, the natives love to sing folk songs. Whoever has a louder voice and can sing well has a greater chance of reproducing. The technology tree of the natives is obviously wrong. The gene for a loud voice.
He started to be careless and changed his tricks.
The other soldiers of the Flying Ball Battalion were not idle either. They also started to curse in Chinese, using all kinds of tricks. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
