Emperor Hongzhi had already stood up at this time, and a team of fast horses came from afar.

Emperor Hongzhi glanced at him and knew that the commanders and other officials in the Guard had already heard the news and rushed over anxiously.

Emperor Hongzhi said with a calm face: "I don't want to see them, let's go and get in the car."

When he got into the car, Fang Jifan also turned over and the horse, and a group of people hurried away.

The commander of the left guard of Yongqing watched the carriage. At this time... he stopped his horse and did not dare to move forward.

Looking at the old man who was still cutting wheat in the ridge of the field, he pointed at the old man with a whip: "Come here..."

The old man went to Tianlong, looked at the commander and the Qianhuguan, and his face turned pale and said tremblingly: "Hao Laohe, I have seen it... I have seen it..."

"Say!" The commander said anxiously: "What did you say, Your Majesty, and the Duke of Qi?"

"Your Majesty...Your Majesty..." Old Gao Ru was struck by lightning.

In fact, the commander initially thought that the Duke of Qi was ordered to patrol the camp, but the factory guards actually came to the door and wanted to find His Majesty. At this time... he realized that His Majesty had actually come in person.

The commander was already anxious to stomp his feet, and now he saw His Majesty leaving directly, and he felt uneasy again.

The old man who was speaking just now...is His Majesty?

No matter what, Mr. Gao never thought that he was the one who had just chatted and laughed with him...

He was so scared that his legs were weak and he sat on the ground.

But commanders and others were extremely anxious: "Tell me quickly, tell me..."

Gao Laohe took a deep breath and murmured, "Your Majesty... Your Majesty talks to me, Your Majesty talks with me, Your Majesty... He... He... Could it be that young man, the Duke of Qi... Oh, no wonder I see him, with beautiful eyes and so kind..."

He was talking nonsense.

But the commander lifted him up and was completely angry: "Dog guy, what did you say! What did you say?"

Gao Laohe thought for a while and looked honest: "Your Majesty said, Weili, you have to give me three thousand kilograms of rice."

"What?" the commander was stunned.

Is this... true?

The biggest tragedy of this kind of thing is that no one can prove it. Do you even go to find the emperor? Did you ask Wei Li to give Gao Lao He rice?

They looked at each other and had no choice but to believe it.

But the problem is... what is the profound meaning of Your Majesty's words?

Why are three thousand kilograms? Could it be... these three thousand are imaginary numbers, just like a flying flow down three thousand feet.

And why, it's rice?

Could it be that Your Majesty felt...we treated the military soldiers brutally, so we specifically mentioned rice to let us...

Or...

Countless thoughts emerge.

This commander is blue and white.

Looking at the panic-ridden old man Gao, he wanted to get angry, but after thinking about it carefully, this person talked to His Majesty again. God knows that if he said and did something he did today, he would be found out by the Jinyiwei and finally reported to the emperor secretly.

So the commander smiled: "Gao Laohe, not bad, not bad. I knew you were a person who was the one who was responsible for three thousand kilograms of grain. I mean, I'll send it to him tomorrow."

Old Gao was happy, showing his big yellow teeth, and his smile was still honest.

…………

Emperor Hongzhi hurried back to the palace, as if he had something to do in his heart.

The memorial was still piled up on his desk without any treatment. He took a deep breath and after most of the day he went out, the government affairs could not be wasted.

So, he picked up the memorial. The memorial in front of him came from the Censorate. It was the censor who impeached Fang Jifan, saying that Fang Jifan misled his children and caused the emperor's grandson to change his temperament. He begged His Majesty to choose another good teacher for the emperor's grandson.

Of course, I don’t know if the censor found out with conscience or if this guy was afraid of being retaliated against, but his tone seemed very tactful when it came to impeachment by the other party Jifan, and he just said that the Duke of Qi was not suitable for this.

But when Emperor Hongzhi saw this, his face, which was already unhappy, seemed to have a layer of frost condensed. He threw away the memorial and snorted coldly.

"Parent Xiao..."

"I'm here."

Emperor Hongzhi pointed at the memorial: "This censor, check his background..."

Xiao Jing was stunned... Just as he was about to see which censor it was, he hit the gun.

But then, Emperor Hongzhi shook his head: "Forget it, I will keep this memorial and don't pay attention to him."

"yes."

………

Fang Jifan and Emperor Hongzhi parted ways and returned to the west mountain. However, Zhu Houzhao was waiting for him in the Zhenguo Mansion.

"Lao Fang, where have you been?"

Fang Jifan was particularly kind when he met Zhu Houzhao. He was his brother. Every time, Zhu Houzhao looked in front of him and looked at his sincere appearance, he could bring healing effects to his heart: "Purchase the Beijing Camp with the order."

When Zhu Houzhao heard this, his eyes lit up: "Why didn't you say it earlier? I can go with you."

Fang Jifan looked at Zhu Houzhao mysteriously, "The matter here is very complicated. Your Majesty has gone, of course... he cannot admit that Your Majesty has gone. Even if everyone knows that Your Majesty has gone, Your Majesty has not gone in the face of the official position."

Zhu Houzhao felt a little dizzy: "My father has been a little wild recently, but...haha... I will be rushing to go to patrol the camp tomorrow."

Fang Jifan was so scared that his face turned green: "You can't promulgate any more, you will be exposed. You can't deceive others twice for the same thing."

Zhu Houzhao scratched her head: "What are you cheating twice? Lao Fang, are you hiding something from me?"

Fang Jifan shook his head as if he was rattle.

Seeing that Fang Jifan refused to say it, Zhu Houzhao sighed and said, "There are more and more secrets in your heart, not like the time, so there are two major things to come to find you today. This is the first thing, Dangdangdangdang... Look at what this palace has brought."

He grabbed a bag on the desk, shook it open, and a sweater was exposed inside.

Fang Jifan: "..."

"I am exhausted and have weaved more than 30 pieces, including father, mother, great-grandmother, girl and yours, Zai Mo and Zhengqing, and my daughters...... Let's put it on and try it."

It's a hot day...

Fang Jifan was in a little embarrassed.

but……

Fang Jifan reluctantly put the sweater into his body. Not to mention that he had a good craftsmanship and a very fresh appearance. Fang Jifan hurriedly said, "Thank you, Your Highness."

Zhu Houzhao crossed her hands and looked excited: "I am not bragging. No one in the world is better than I am. The girl, your wife, is very clumsy. What kind of prospect can such a person get married as a wife? I don't talk about her, let me see, where needs to be changed."

He carefully surrounded Fang Jifan and couldn't help but praise his craft: "It's such a clever craft, no one in the world can get it."

Fang Jifan felt a little hot, so he hurriedly took off his sweater and said, "Your Highness's hands are indeed beyond the reach of others. What is the second thing?"

"The steam engine has been loaded on the ship."

Fang Jifan was a little confused: "So fast?"

"It's still fast?" Zhu Houzhao said: "It's been more than a year. Thousands of craftsmen have been recruited, and all the experts from Xishan Academy are at their fate. The money spent is over the sky, and it's tens of thousands of taels a day..."

Fang Jifan wanted to die when he thought of silver.

However... the research on steam technology is indeed a Manhattan project in the entire Xishan Mountain. It is not just a hobby, but it calls all the power that can be called and overcome one difficulty after another.

If you only study it by yourself, it may take ten, twenty years, or even a hundred years, and it may not be practical.

But for the investment of the Steam Research Institute, as long as there is no error in the direction, the scientific research leader has sufficient level. In addition, the principles of the steam engine have been found out, and the following are just a problem of countless experiments.

Fang Jifan said: "Is it OK to use it?"

"Not sure." Zhu Houzhao said: "Now I've just loaded the boat, and it's not a sea boat. The wind and waves on the sea are strong, so I use an ordinary boat first, and test it in the lake. Tomorrow... I'll test the water in the river. If it works, then load the Shanghai boat."

It turned out... it was not as awesome as Fang Jifan imagined.

This made Fang Jifan a little disappointed.

But...even so, this is also exciting news: "I'll go wherever I'll try tomorrow."

The two brothers suddenly became excited.

Zhu Houzhao brought a large number of drawings, took them out, and patiently explained his ideas to Fang Jifan.

How to use steam power to design a transmission system.

How to solve the problem of clean water sources.

How to ensure stability when the boiler is on the boat.

He said with relish, and Fang Jifan listened without understanding.

He understood the principle of the steam engine, but when it involved actual research, Fang Jifan was a little confused.

But...this did not prevent him from continuing to listen.

This cost money.

Spend a lot of money.

The more awkward what Zhu Houzhao said, the more Fang Jifan felt that he was awesome. It was better to be awesome, which means that his money was worth it.

"So, this river test... is to prepare for the sea test. There are still some difficulties in the sea test. However... the boat has to get out of the sea before it can be discovered and find a way to solve it. In order to commemorate the first steamship, the name of this ship must be meaningful. I thought about it all night. I remember that when Xu Jing went into the sea and took the King of Slags on the World, traveling around the West, this King of Slags on the World is of great significance. In the near future, this King of Slags on the World may be retired. After all, that ship... is becoming more and more outdated, so... the one we are testing now might as well call the King of Slags on the World. Oh, speaking of it, the name of this ship is becoming more and more catchy. How did he think of it? Sometimes, I really admire myself."

Fang Jifan thought hard, yes, how could he have given such a majestic ship name?

"Okay, I'll listen to your highness, but I'll make it in advance. If you fail to go into the water, your highness, I will never finish it with you!"
