Tianjin Wei is already overcrowded.
There are many merchants from Weihai in Tianjin, and they are very happy to hear that His Majesty has returned safely.
Zhu Zaimo led hundreds of officials to the harbor and waited until noon. Sure enough, he saw ironclad ships beginning to appear in the bay.
Soon, Zhu Houzhao landed first.
So all the officials cheered long live.
Zhu Houzhao arrived in front of Zhu Zaimo at the pace of dragon and tiger.
Zhu Zaimo bowed his head and bowed respectfully. He first saluted Zhu Houzhao, and then met Fang Jifan.
Zhu Houzhao patted Zhu Zaimo on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Excellent, excellent, how about it? I've been here for two years and nothing happened."
Zhu Zaimo said hurriedly: "Inherited by the blessings of our ancestors, the past two years have been smooth and the government has been in order. Whether it is the New Deal or the New Army, as well as taxation and education, everything has been smooth. The good news is that , the country is peaceful and the people are safe, there has been no rebellion for two years."
Zhu Houzhao suddenly showed a disappointed look, and then forced a smile and said: "Yes, yes, I am really relieved that the prince is doing things. It seems that you have grown up and can already share my worries."
Zhu Zaimo even said he didn't dare.
Zhu Houzhao's eyes flashed, and he said with a hint of expectation: "Since the DPRK is safe, what about the four neighbors? Are there any evildoers in these four neighbors?"
Zhu Zaimo thought for a while and said: "From the West to Korea, the Japanese country, and to the tribes in the desert, as well as Uzang, etc In the past two years, tribute has been paid continuously, and they have praised our Ming Dynasty. It can be said that they are submissive. Another example is the Ottomans. , Persia, and Tianzhu countries have also sent envoys here. They are willing to be friends with the Qin and Jin Dynasties forever with our Ming Dynasty. If I return to my father, I will be peaceful and safe now."
After Zhu Houzhao heard this, he became depressed.
The officials were puzzled.
Only Fang Jifan understood something at a glance, but he smiled.
Seeing Zhu Houzhao's unhappy look, Zhu Zaimo said in a panic: "Why is my father so unhappy? Did he do something wrong? He made his father worried and he will be punished by death."
Zhu Houzhao wanted to say something, but he hesitated and shook his head, not knowing what to say.
Zhu Zaimo was even more confused about what he meant, so he looked at Fang Jifan as if asking for help.
Fang Jifan then smiled and said: "The prince is really a prince with both political integrity and talent. Because of this, your majesty is very assured of the prince. This time the imperial commander will go on a personal expedition, and the prince will supervise the country. Your majesty will be very at ease here."
First, he praised Zhu Zaimo hard.
Fang Jifan then added: "However, your Majesty still feels that the prince is too kind. Those who supervise the country should not be too kind. It is a great contribution that peace can be achieved in the court. But the neighbors are grateful to the Ming Dynasty, or they are respectful to the court. Incomparably, this may not be a blessing to the country."
Zhu Zaimo said in surprise: "Pleasepleasesee me for advice"
He originally wanted to call him his mentor, but then he remembered that Fang Jifan was his wife's brother. Then he thought again that a report from Quanzhou said that Fang Jifan was already the regent. Then I thought about it carefully, no, this is my uncle, and he is also my father's brother. Oh, yes, he is still the brother of his biological mother. His biological mother has entered the Fang family. Although they are not connected by blood, she can be regarded as a member of the Fang family in terms of emotion and reason.
Although this circle has always been quite chaotic.
"But it was such a mess. Even though Zhu Zaimo had always been smart, he still couldn't figure it out. At this time he didn't know what to call it.
Sohe was vague.
Fang Jifan saw Zhu Zaimo's expression of curiosity and said: "Prince, think about it, if everyone is grateful to the court, what does this mean? It means that the court's grace to them is more than their fear of the court. Of course, if Ordinary vassals, that's all, but the Ottoman countries have always been ambitious. Not to mention that they are our serious enemy, but they are by no means close friends. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are my future enemies of the Ming Dynasty. If the enemy is To be grateful to the court is a failure of the court, which shows that the prince has treated them well in the past two years. As a king, you need to distinguish between friends and foes, and you must not be blindly merciful."
Zhu Zaimo was slightly stunned after hearing this.
After chewing carefully, he realizedthat this was where his father might be dissatisfied with him. He glanced at Fang Jifan gratefully.
My uncle, mentor, uncle, brother-in-law, mother-in-law are really good at instructing me.
When Zhu Houzhao heard this, his eyebrows suddenly rose.
In fact, this is what Zhu Houzhao meant, but he didn't know how to say it properly. Now, like a roundworm in his stomach, Lao Fang suddenly revealed the essence of the problem, and finally his face showed joy.
Zhu Zaimo then said: "My son is still too unfamiliar in many places and needs to learn. Father, I know I was wrong."
The officials all pricked up their ears, but their hearts skipped a beat when they heard this
Damn itcould it bethat there's going to be another war?
"This is in public, Fang Jifan, this dog No, the regent actually directly regards Osman as an enemy. This is obviously to the point where Osman cannot be tolerated.
"As soon as I say this, I'm afraidit's time to draw a sword and fight against him."
Among the hundreds of officials, as usual, some people began to sigh in their hearts, this must be a great success and a big conquest.
But the vast majority of people are overjoyed in their hearts.
? Okay, let¡¯s fight, hurry up and get bigger! When the artillery fires, there are thousands of taels of gold, and the stock prices rise, so I will get rich accordingly. It would be even better if we could take over the land. Maybe we could move people there again. Didn¡¯t my uncle and his family go to Luzon? I am living a very happy life there now. I heard that his manors in Luzon and Java are ten times what they were when he was in Jiangnan, and the income is more than twenty times. Now he is really well-dressed and well-fed, with servants like Yun, such a good life was unimaginable before.
Some people are even more happy. If this is the case Once the several workshops that they have invested in capture the Ottomans, it is said that the Ottomans have a large population. Once this happens, the market will be completely opened. By then, won't the money be needed again? earned a lot?
Everyone had their own concerns, but they were all calm and stood silently!
Zhu Houzhao coughed and said, "Okay, it's windy here. Please follow me back to Beijing first."
By the time the Holy Spirit arrived in Beijing, it was already evening, and the glow was brilliant, but it was not as dazzling as the lanterns and colorful decorations in Beijing. Everything was so joyful!
Zhu Houzhao personally went to the Meridian Gate Tower to watch the colorful lanterns going up one after another. There were bursts of firecrackers at night, which was forbidden and endless.
It was so lively, but Fang Jifan had no intention of joining in the fun, and was filled with the desire to return home!
Back to Xishan, before looking for Zhu Xiurong, Wang Jinyuan came to report out of curiosity: "Master, it's soaring, it's so much Master, I congratulate you on your return to Beijing. I've been looking forward to your return day and night."
"It's up, what's the increase?" Fang Jifan asked doubtfully.
"The stock price, the news of the young master's return to Beijing came. The villain had made plans beforehand and had a heavy position in several stocks. Now it has risen sharply. Young master, we we"
"Compared with Wang Jinyuan's excited expression, Fang Jifan's face was indifferent. What if he had no interest in silver!
Wealth is not the standard to measure a person.
After all, money is something external to the body, just a floating cloud. Health is the most important thing.
People are born equal, and the most equal thing is birth, old age, sickness and death. As for money it's just a burden.
What makes Fang Jifan most gratified is not how much wealth he has, but his noble personality, which cannot be calculated with money.
Looking at Wang Jinyuan's expectant expression, he finally curled his lips and said: "Send all the account books tomorrow, I want to check the accounts, okay, get out of here, I hate you when I see you."
When Wang Jinyuan heard this familiar voice and these familiar words, he immediatelytears flowed down unsatisfactorily. He hadn't heard these words for a long time. He even thoughtthat he might not hear them in this life. He has been obsessed with them for the past two years. I am haunted by dreams and always feel that my life is not at ease.
Finally, the familiar smell came back, and he breathed a long sigh of relief, feeling satisfied, as if his heart had become enriched!
He hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, I will get out of here. Young Master, please have a good rest"
Fang Jifan shook his head, feeling that everyone in this world was crazy. He walked to the inner house with his hands behind his back, passed through the moon cave, and looked up to see Zhu Xiurong waiting here with the female family members of the house.
Phew
Fang Jifan took a deep breath. At this moment, the bright moon was in the sky, and the stars were bright, but they were not as gorgeous as the beauty in front of him.
