The Ming Dynasty’s Prodigal Son

Chapter 69: : Why not eat porridge

From mid-autumn to early winter, Xishan has attracted thousands of migrants. Wang Jinyuan is not in a hurry to mass-produce, but according to Fang Jifan's instructions, let a group of originally scattered migrants begin to understand the process, of course, a large amount of purchases are still required Mining tools.

However, most of the picks used in mining are not at hand, and in this era, most of the tools manufactured in the manufacturing bureau were crudely manufactured, ordinary ironsmiths, the craftsmen were also uneven, and the output was low, and they could not be supplied on a large scale. Fang Jifan also wants to make a coal stove. It's best to build a pot together. It's the right way to do one thing and earn some money.

Fang Jifan encouraged Zhu Houzhao to go to the Emperor Hongzhi and ask Xishan Coal Mine to build a Tiefang.

This matter, the Emperor Hongzhi did not immediately agree, in fact, he wanted large-scale forging production tools, the court has always been more cautious about this.

In the era of monopoly on salt and iron, iron ore was almost monopolized by government offices everywhere, and private large-scale ironmaking was not allowed. After all, this thing can be used to build tools and weapons.

Since the attitude in the palace is unknown, Fang Jifan had to wait patiently.

It was Zhu Houzhao who had been busy for him, but he became complaining, sighing, like a mistreated young wife, after all, she still had no money and no motivation.

To this end, Zhu Houzhao and Fang Jifan sneaked away to Xishan again. In the snowy weather, there were few pedestrians all the way, but at the foot of Xishan, a simple work shed has been built, forming a simple In the small village, the smoke in the work shed rises, and the women have started picking rice and cooking pots.

The men have gone to the mine, so there are only a few ragged little fart children in this ‘village’ who are blowing their noses and are building snow.

The scene in front of him disappointed Zhu Houzhao. He thought that what he and Fang Jifan did was a big thing. It should not be so broken and dirty. Although it should not be as brilliant as the Forbidden City, it should also be a prosperity. Sight.

Zhu Houzhao thought of going up to the mine, but Fang Jifan stopped him, so to speak, he only swayed at the foot of the mountain.

Before leaving, they met miners carrying picks to work. The miners were wearing tight clothes and the whole body was dark, but these sturdy men were all masculine. And melted the snow.

"Eun Gong ..." Some people were sharp-eyed and saw Fang Jifan and Zhu Houzhao.

One of them, holding the pick head, rushed towards Fang Jifan and Zhu Houzhao, scaring the guards behind Zhu Houzhao one by one and quickly pressed the knife handle.

The man fell down without hesitation, with tears in his mouth, said to Zhu Houzhao and Fang Jifan: "The villain has seen two graces ..."

In fact, Fang Jifan has been taken aback, because this man actually rushed over with a pick, and according to his rich life experience, people who rushed towards themselves generally come to seek revenge, after all, after all ... … A prodigal son, God knows how many Fen Jifans had been in the past. Fang Jifan has no doubt that one day, when walking on the street, someone will knock on the sap.

So his first reaction was to run.

Until the other party shouted Eun Gong and worshipped on the snow, he gave a sigh of relief.

The miners boiled and flooded up, many of them whispered: "It's these two gracious sons, the king's shopkeeper said in person, our owner is two young men, all of them are beautiful, we can't go wrong. The gift of Eun Gong only gave us a job in this mine. "

For a moment, this snowy ground was already full of people, and Fang Jifan began to doubt his life.

Zhu Houzhao was stunned. When he saw these dark-faced people, he looked at him with tears one by one.

Ok……

Actually has a little sense of accomplishment.

But ... have you really done something good? No, Lao Fang is not just letting them dig coal? Hey, hello, this is clearly for you to do coolie. What do you appreciate?

A miner choked: "Thank you Engong for taking us in, so that we have a chance to sell our strength in this mine, otherwise ... This cold winter month, I'm afraid I can't get through it. The villain has a son, if not When I came to the mine, I was going to starve to death. The villain taught him all the time and taught him to grow up. He must remember the kindness of the two benefactors. Now the little people have a bite to eat in this mine, not only that, There are still some salaries every month, which are all given by two graces, grace, please be respected by the villain. "

"..." was enough to drop a shock bomb in Zhu Houzhao's heart.

Isn't it enough to let them do their hard work?

And their request is just to eat a bite, what a humble idea, but even this humble thought seems to them to be hard to come by.

Zhu Houzhao has never experienced human suffering, but when he met these miners today, he was a little overwhelmed. He could not understand that there were such a group of people in this world who would be so grateful for these things.

Zhu Houzhao blushed and was helpless.

Fang Jifan has said: "Okay, don't need to be rude, work hard."

The miners just had red eyes, some people were in tears, some people put down their picks, just blindly Zhao Houzhao and Fang Jifan kowtowed.

And Zhu Houzhao, still stunned there, he had too many things to digest, until Fang Jifan pulled him out of the crowd, Zhu Houzhao suddenly turned red: "Are they cheating us?"

"What?" Fang Jifan froze.

Zhu Houzhao took a deep breath: "This palace means, do they want to bait this palace, so ..."

Zhu Houzhao had this thought and it was easy to understand. After all, he was always surrounded by a group of people who pleased him, so in his heart, it must be that these people also wanted to seize the opportunity.

Fang Jifan was silent for a moment: "They don't know His Royal Highness' identity, so I think they might be really grateful to His Highness. Of course, it is mainly to thank Weichen. After all, for many people, as long as they can eat a full meal, they will It ’s a gift from heaven. "

Zhu Houzhao thoughtfully.

In the wind and snow, the young Crown Prince had an indescribable feeling in his heart.

Fang Jifan despised Zhu Houzhao in his heart, why this guy really doesn't eat meat emulsion.

When he returned to Zhanshifu, Zhu Houzhao seemed to have something to worry about, holding his cheek and looking at the snow in the distance. In his eyes, there was less cunning, but more melancholy.

"Sometimes, this palace is thinking ..." Zhu Hou Zhao said: "If the snow stopped, how good it should be."

"..." Fang Jifan glared at him, prince, you can't get any red, you just hit the pot of my coal mine? Are you still human?

Zhu Houzhao sighed again: "You think about it ~ www.readwn.com ~ Many people are undressed and their faces are cracked because of freezing, they are really pitiful."

These remarks struck somewhere weak in Fang Jifan's heart. He looked strange at Zhu Houzhao, looked up at the sky, and the snowy sky was still flying, so he breathed a sigh of relief in his mouth: "To many people In terms of, it ’s not just a snow that freezes them. Many people lack more than warm clothes. It ’s difficult for people to live ... ”Looking up, the eyes are a little wet, maybe it ’s a rare long absence Fang Jifan took a deep breath and sighed.

In the distance, Liu Jin beckoned here: "His Royal Highness, His Royal Highness, come on, Zhen La Guo tribute three monkeys without tails, oops, it's rare."

Zhu Hou-zhao listened, and swooped in the direction of Liu Jin: "Where, where, look at this palace ..."

"Your uncle!" Fang Jifan glared at Liu Jin in the distance.

…………

The character of the Zhang family brothers was said to be too stupid, but historically, this pair of brothers was indeed stupid, otherwise they would not even see the wind direction after Jiajing ascended the throne, and eventually fell to a miserable end.

Others said that the two were stingy and unreasonable. Hey, I really do n’t know what to say. The Grande described by Balzac is also such a stingy. As a result, the French writer has won countless praises for his stingy image of Grande No one said that the character he wrote was so rich that he would rather abuse himself for a few copper plates. Instead, this character became popular and became one of the most classic images in French literature. How to get here, the same role has become unreasonable.

Tiger is not a writer after all, writing books is just a matter of eating and drinking. Forget it, laugh and scold, and get used to it.
