Fang Jifan has always been extremely sensitive to fiefdoms.

Not that I don't want to.

But it cannot.

Thinking about it, in order to reduce the vassal state, Zhu Yun turned against him and killed him and bloody.

Not to mention, fiefs of different surnames.

If the imperial court is still like this to the royal family, can it give the Fang family a fief?

No matter how you look, it looks like a pig fat. You have to wash it, have a good meal, and then slaughter the rhythm of the New Year.

After Fang Jifan's heart was twisted, he immediately said: "Why did Your Majesty say this? My father and son are loyal to Your Majesty, in the wind and rain, in the sea of ​​swords and fires..."

Although flattery is nice, it is time-consuming to speak. Emperor Hongzhi interrupted Fang Jifan and said, "What I mean is... After you have made so many contributions, I have nothing to reward. The Fang family has made achievements for my Ming Dynasty for generations. How can we not give it a re-gift?"

"In the past, I was a little stingy with you."

Well, it makes sense, telling the truth.

Fang Jifan nodded subconsciously and shook his head quickly: "No, no, no, Your Majesty is really useless to say to his son. I don't know where to start with the word "stingy"?"

Emperor Hongzhi smiled, he maintained his own rhythm and continued, "Do you know why? Because I think you were too young and young at that time, so I gave you a generous gift, I am afraid that you will develop your arrogant personality."

"Where I have only one son and one daughter. These are my closest relatives and my blood. When my daughter marrys you, I will treat you as my own son."

Speaking of this, Emperor Hongzhi stood up: "What's more, if you make such a contribution, any of your disciples and disciples who are not loyal to the court and do not care about their own lives will make great contributions. And these are also your contributions? I have been thinking about one thing, and now I have figured it out, you are a big boss... You are a member of the Fang family, my daughter, and a member of the Fang family. The Fang family... It's time to have their own ancestral temple."

Fang Jifan: "..."

Ancestral temple and ancestral temple are two different concepts.

Ancestral temples are places where ordinary families worship their ancestors. Once upgraded to a temple, only the emperor and the king who breaks the land and bans are qualified.

Fang Jifan felt a little cold, and he felt more and more... a bit dangerous.

He opened his mouth to say something.

Emperor Hongzhi said: "You must be very uneasy at this time."

Fang Jifan immediately shook his head again: "Your Majesty is gentle and has a distant person, and he is virtuous all over the world. My son is in front of Your Majesty, like a spring breeze. How could he have uneasy thoughts? My son is very at ease."

Emperor Hongzhi smiled.

He knew Fang Jifan very well.

He was silent for a moment and continued, "It's different from the past. I have always been thinking about a question. There are all nations in this world, and I am the Ming Dynasty and I want to be the country above the heavenly dynasty. Can I take all the territory outside the heavenly dynasty? No, the world is too big, and even the Ming Dynasty cannot completely take it into account. Therefore, the Ming Dynasty is naturally still the Ming Dynasty, the country above the heavenly dynasty! The other countries will naturally prosper if they follow it, and those who go against it will perish."

After a little slowing down, Emperor Hongzhi picked up the teacup beside him and took a sip of tea, and said, "I am thinking again that the kings of all nations do not read Confucius and Mencius, and are not the same as my Ming Dynasty. How can I... trust them? Since it is not trustworthy, then why can my closest relatives break up the territory, but make them call themselves lonely?"

Fang Jifan gradually began to understand what Emperor Hongzhi meant.

Enfeoffment?

This seems to be a precedent for following the Zhou Dynasty.

After King Wu of Zhou destroyed Zhou, in fact, the core ruling area of ​​the Zhou Dynasty was not large. The land of Jiuzhou was filled with the remnants of the Shang Dynasty, the Dongyi and various alien races.

In the eyes of the Zhou emperor, looking around, the nine provinces were full of enemies.

In order to expand territory, the feudal system was born.

Countless tribes and heroes of the Emperor Zhou emperor were enfeoffed everywhere, allowing them to establish city-states and open up new territory. In the land of the nine provinces, vassal states of all sizes were established. They used blood ties as the bond and Zhou rituals as the norm, and followed the orders of the Emperor Zhou emperor, and went downward to govern the people of the people. They fought against the barbarians and fought against the barbarians.

The current situation of the Ming Dynasty is somewhat similar to that of the Zhou emperor.

Although the current cabinet system can rule the fourteen provinces of the two capitals and even the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of

For example, in Kunlun Continent, if one day the Ming Dynasty obtained the land of Kunlun Continent, which is thousands of miles away from the Ming Dynasty, anything happened there. When their memorials came out, a year and a half had passed. In the past year and a half, the emperor made a ruling and sent the edict to Kunlun Continent, everything was gone.

The only solution is that the Ming Dynasty needs an agent who can make decisions. This agent must have authority. After all, if the authority is insufficient, who will convince him thousands of miles away?

But authority is based on life and death. So, once a person has absolute authority, he can not only control the army, promote officials, and even dismiss or even impose punishments on people at any time, then... what is this person?

It's the king!

Of course, since the Ming Dynasty felt that it would seem like a lot of trouble to enthrone such a vassal king. At worst, I don’t want this land.

But the land is no longer there... There is still a king here, because as long as there are people, they will eventually become rulers.

This ruler was almost a local native. He had no connection with the Ming Dynasty, and even had different languages.

So compared to the emperor's enthronement of his relatives, it is obvious that this "outsider" is not the best choice.

I think it is precisely because of this that Emperor Hongzhi had the idea and had this idea.

In people's minds, the so-called world was only in the nine provinces, so how could others sleep soundly under the bed?

But now, the world is so big that the thinking is different.

Emperor Hongzhi looked at Fang Jifan's thoughtful look and said with a smile: "I have figured it out these days. So..." His face became serious and continued: "I plan to summon all the young royal families to study in Xishan Military Academy, let them learn slowly. In the future... there may be useful places. Fang Zhengqing..."

Emperor Hongzhi talked about his grandson, and he gently knocked the document: "I also intend to let him study in the Military Academy. He is my grandson and my flesh and blood... Do you understand what I mean?"

Fang Jifan understood, so he felt relieved.

Yes, the emperor can't kill his grandson, he hurriedly said, "Your Majesty is wise."

Emperor Hongzhi smiled again on his lips and said, "In the past, the court was afraid that the royal family would have the ability, but now, I was afraid that the royal family would not have any skills. Of course... it is too early to say this, I am waiting for your good news. And..." Emperor Hongzhi pulled down his face: "Why has Xiurong been silent since he gave birth to Zhengqing?"

"This..." Fang Jifan Zhang Dakou wanted to explain something.

Emperor Hongzhi said lightly: "Do you have a problem, just like the prince? Then... should you go to the medical school to have an operation?"

Fang Jifan shivered, his whole body felt as if he was struck by lightning, his face turned pale, his legs suddenly became soft, and he snapped, and he knelt on the ground with a weak voice, his voice choked and fearful: "No, no, my son... I will work hard!"

Emperor Hongzhi nodded. It was rare to see Fang Jifan's cowardly look, which made Emperor Hongzhi feel secretly happy. He nodded: "Remember, you have been single-handed for generations and have to start a family business. Only by having more children can you be blessed. Do you know?"

"My son must work hard, forget to eat, day and night, persevere, and die!" Fang Jifan's head slashed and knocked on the bricks and stones, saying with confidence.

Emperor Hongzhi was satisfied: "That's good, you must understand my hard work."

"My son understand."

Emperor Hongzhi sighed: "You are the same person as me. I only have one prince, but you still have a chance."

Fang Jifan heard Emperor Hongzhi's helplessness.

He nodded as if he didn't understand.

He quit in disappointment. When he left Fengtian Hall, he felt that his back was chilly and terrible.

Thinking of the major matters that Your Majesty gave, Fang Jifan did not dare to neglect, so he hurriedly called Liu Wenshan and Liu Jin and his son.

Liu Jin looked radiant, but obviously... he lost a lot of weight.

When he saw Fang Jifan, he wanted to bow down and lick Fang Jifan's feet immediately.

Fang Jifan kicked him: "Dog guy, haven't you eaten? Why have you lost weight?"

"Sun son... grandson..." Liu Jin lowered his head and rubbed his kicked knee, and said aggrievedly: "The grandson has changed, grandson is not greedy."

Fang Jifan held his hands behind his back: "Stand aside and listen carefully."

"yes."

Fang Jifan looked at Liu Wenshan and sighed.

Liu Wenshan hurriedly said, "Mr., why do you sigh?"

Fang Jifan said: "I am thinking about the affairs of the Western countries. Your Majesty issued an order to order Xishan Money House to promote Baochao. Look, how to promote this Baochao."

"There are two strategies." Liu Wenshan calmed down and calmed down.

"Speak and listen."

Liu Wenshan said: "First, slowly draw it..."

Well……

Fang Jifan was a little speechless. Why did he seem to be copying himself? Fang Jifan said: "No need to say one thing, the second is whether it is to destroy their own monetary system and take advantage of the situation."

Liu Wenshan hurriedly said: "My teacher is really wise, it's good. The former takes a lot of time, while the latter... can be faster, as long as three years or as little as one or two years, and it can be effective."

Fang Jifan smiled: "Sure enough, I am worthy of being a disciple of Fang Jifan. I appreciate you more and more as my teacher."
