Prodigal Son of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 128: Wonderful genius



Chapter 128 Peerless Wizard

   Now Fang Jifan has a lot of things to do, so naturally he is not in the mood to continue watching Wang Shouren squatting on the ground, so Fang Jifan walked away.

  Fang Jifan just took a step, but Wang Shouren said suddenly: "Mr. Fang..."

  Fang Jifan looked back, frowned and said: "Is there something wrong?"

  Wang Shouren thought for a while, and then said: "Why does Mr. Fang think that the imperial court will encounter setbacks in suppressing the Milu rebels?"

  Fang Jifan\'s eyes flashed with surprise, he paused, and then said in relief: "Is this what your father told you?"

  Wang Shouren nodded: "It is my father, so the students have doubts. How can Mr. Fang dare to make such a conclusion?"

  Fang Jifan laughed: "I guess."

   "..." Wang Shouren almost vomited blood.

   Guess? Wang Shouren was full of doubts. He felt that Fang Jifan was more than just superficially simple. A person who could grow melons in winter was truly unprecedented. Could it be... this person is really a genius?

  Wang Shouren couldn\'t help but took a deep look at Fang Jifan.

  I thought again, but those who have great talents are often withdrawn. He probably doesn\'t bother to explain to me.

  Thinking of this, Wang Shouren, who has always been proud, suddenly felt depressed. This Mr. Fang must have looked down on him!

  At this time, Wang Shouren felt a little inferior.

  But...guess...

  Wang Shouren somewhat felt that, with his own martial arts strategy, he would definitely not be mistaken. This Fang Jifan... maybe this time, he might have missed the mark.

  Fang Jifan didn\'t bother to take care of his feelings, so he left without stopping.

After two days, the sweet potato finally sprouted new shoots in anticipation. Fang Jifan immediately cheered and rubbed his hands together excitedly. Then he ordered Deng Jian and Wang Jinyuan to take a small water basin and put water , and then put the germinated sweet potatoes into the water.

  Sweet potatoes can be grown in both water and soil, but it is only in the budding stage now, so it is better to raise them with water, and then transplant them into the soil when they grow bigger. The water should not completely submerge its roots, but half of it must be left.

  After a good tinkering, Fang Jifan sweated, and said happily in his heart, grow up quickly, grow up a little bit, and give birth to a pile of sweet potatoes, and then one life will be two, two beget three, three beget endless.

  We, Fang Jifan, sometimes do good deeds...beautiful...

Deng Jian, who was on the side, also looked at it happily, couldn\'t help but raised his thumb, and habitually slapped his beard and said: "Young master is really amazing, others just eat it when they get ten thousand-year-old ginseng, but the young master is different. Thinking about letting this ginseng take root and sprout, in this way, one 10,000-year-old ginseng can produce ten ginseng, which can be cultivated for another 10,000 years..."

   Speaking of this, uh... Deng Jian\'s face became extremely weird.

  It has been raised for ten thousand years... Isn\'t this mentally retarded?

  Wang Jinyuan\'s old face on the side has already twitched. He and Deng Jian looked at each other, and then they both made an expression that I didn\'t laugh, the young master is mentally retarded.

  Fang Jifan turned his head and glared at Deng Jian and Wang Jinyuan, but he also looked at them with the eyes of the two of you.

  The six eyes are intertwined with each other, which is inexplicably weird.

  Eerie, a little scary.

   "Well... I\'m so good at taking care of you. If you make a mistake, you will be eunuched!" Fang Jifan shouted sharply.

  Wang Jinyuan is fine, after all, he is getting older, there seems to be no difference between having and not having it.

  But Deng Jian broke into a cold sweat from fright. He knew that the young master could do anything, so he said pitifully, "Can you keep half of it?"

   "..." Fang Jifan almost rolled his eyes, and suddenly felt that he was surrounded by such a mentally retarded thing, which could easily lower his IQ.

   And Tuntian went very smoothly. A glass workshop was set up. In fact, the production of glass is relatively simple. The only requirement is high temperature!

   But this is where anthracite is produced, so there is no problem. The heat of anthracite is higher than that of ordinary coal.

The nearby land was also plowed. Yes, it was done by hand. After all, manpower is worthless now. The captains of Tuntian, headed by Zhang Xin, are all free manpower. The most important thing is that their salary is paid by the court. Yes, this is rare.

  So every time he saw them sweating profusely in the fields, Fang Jifan felt like he was making a lot of money.

  The busy time seemed to pass quickly, and a few more days passed, and the weather gradually became hotter.

Fang Jifan changed into a summer shirt, and now the sales of anthracite in Xishan have plummeted, but... Mining is still going on. On the one hand, it is stockpiling for the coming of next winter. On the other hand, the brick kilns and glass workshops in Xishan need a lot of coal. Anthracite, even...Fang Jifan very much hoped that the emperor would decree to allow ironmaking in Xishan. If so, the demand for anthracite would only increase further.

Also in this winter, 150,000 taels of silver were sent to the palace and filled into the internal funds. This was the first net profit dividend that Gongzhong Zhenguo Coal Industry received. After the necessary investment, the profits of the palace and the Fang family are still considerable.

  This day, early in the morning, Xiao Xiangxiang waited on Fang Jifan to get dressed. Today he should go to Zhan Shifu to accompany His Royal Highness to study. After that, he went out of the city to lie down and look at his sweet potatoes.

  But at this moment, a door stumbled in from outside and said: "It\'s not good, it\'s not good, young master, someone is knocking at the door."

  Fang Jifan had just put on a gold belt under Xiao Xiangxiang\'s service, and when he heard that, he immediately became angry.

  Nan Hebo, the mansion of the deputy governor of the Chinese army, and someone dared to call? Who is so bold!

   "Call the master, call everyone, let Tang Yin, Ouyang Zhi, Xu Jing all come, and bring the guys..."

  Before he finished speaking, the doorman said with a mournful face: "Everyone who should be called has been called out. There are more than a dozen people, none of whom are opponents of this person. If the villain comes out, he will let the young master hide...to hide..."

   "..." Fang Jifan couldn\'t help being speechless!

The grade of this Nanhebo mansion is too low. Fortunately, my father is still serving in the army, and he didn\'t choose more tall and powerful people from the army. Why is this mansion full of wretched appearance? All useless guys.

  But at this moment, someone had already barged in, and Xiao Xiangxiang, who was on the side, exclaimed in shock, and threw herself in front of Fang Jifan in shock.

  Fang Jifan subconsciously held her in his arms and said, "Don\'t be afraid, the young master will protect you."

  Xiao Xiangxiang\'s figure is excellent, her whole body of cartilage leans on Fang Jifan\'s chest, feeling the warmth of Fang Jifan\'s chest, Xiao Xiangxiang finally calms down.

  At this time, I heard the person say: "The student is really presumptuous, please excuse me."

  The person who came...is Wang Shouren...

  Wang Shouren came to visit in a hurry. He was a strange person. After he came, he wanted to meet Fang Jifan. Naturally, the door refused. He seemed to be in a hurry, so a dispute arose!

The people in Nanhe Bofu may be infected by Fang Jifan\'s character, they are very aggressive, and they will drive people away if they disagree with each other. Who knows that a fight broke out. Wang Shouren learned riding and archery since he was a child. Seven or eight strong slaves were gently knocked down.

  Fang Jifan looked at Wang Shouren and couldn\'t help frowning.

   This is who provoked who.

  Outside, several disciples of Ouyang Zhi had also arrived after hearing the news. They were all aggressive, although they were all powerless scholars, but seeing their mentor provoke enemies to attack him, how could they stand by and watch as disciples?

  So they all grinned their teeth, rolled up their sleeves, and exposed their white and tender arms, baring their teeth and claws, as if they wanted to scare off the invading enemy with a burst of \'heroic spirit\'.

  Fang Jifan saw that this person was Wang Shouren, so he didn\'t feel nervous anymore. He pressed his hands and said, "Okay, you all step down. I am a reasonable person, and I don\'t like many people bullying few people."

  Ouyang Zhi and the other five looked at Fang Jifan hesitantly, still reluctant to leave.

  Fang Jifan didn\'t chase them away, but looked at Wang Shouren coldly: "Wang Shouren, why did you break into my young master\'s private house?"

   "Heard the Tao in the morning, and die in the evening!" He said the first sentence.

Then, taking a deep breath, Wang Shouren looked at Fang Jifan with an indescribable gaze: "Mr. Fang, the latest military information was delivered this morning. It is said that the army and horses encircling and suppressing the rebels in Guizhou were attacked and damaged. Thousands of people were killed, and the soldiers were trapped in the mountains, lacking medical care and medicine... Besides, due to the continuous heavy rain, the army had to return to Guiyang to rest...Governor Wang Shi of Guizhou has written a letter to plead guilty..."

  Wang Shouren learned the news from the Imperial Academy. After hearing the news, he took a deep breath. He never thought that Fang Jifan\'s prediction could be so accurate.

  So he came here in a hurry, just to solve a mystery in his heart. How did Fang Jifan know that Wang Shi\'s tactics would fail?

  Fang Jifan\'s face was pulled down, and he just said lightly: "Oh, I lost."

In fact, he felt a little regretful, and he didn\'t want the crow\'s mouth. After all, every time behind the crow\'s mouth, it meant that a large number of soldiers of the Ming army were lost. People are slapped in the face.

  Wang Shouren looked at Fang Jifan excitedly: "The students want to ask, how did Mr. Fang come to the conclusion that the battle was defeated."

   "You want to know?" Fang Jifan looked at the guy who called.

  Wang Shouren nodded heavily. He had studied Fang Jifan for some time, but the more he studied Fang Jifan, the more he felt that Fang Jifan was unfathomable.

  Fang Jifan laughed at this matter, and uttered two words: "Losing money."

   "..."

  Fang Jifan looked at Wang Shouren mockingly and said, "You hurt someone in my house, so forget it? There are so many flowers and plants in the house, they also have life, and life is priceless."

   "Pay!" Wang Shouren gritted his teeth and said, "The student lost! It\'s just... Mr. Fang, how did you know..."

  ………

  Second update, please ask for tickets!
