In fact... in terms of historical research.

Zhu Houzhao is indeed a very strange person.

This makes his evaluations in history almost two extremes.

On the one hand, in the eyes of the ministers, this person's reputation is actually not much better than Fang Jifan at the time, and he is purely a scumbag.

But on the other hand, a great war that defeated the famous history at that time suddenly made people confused about the Emperor Wuzong of Ming Dynasty.

During the Battle of Datong, the rising prairie lord of the Tatar tribe was eyeing him, and Emperor Wuzong of Ming Dynasty was able to command and defeat him as if he was determined. This... was really shocking.

It is almost imagined that Zhu Houzhao spent much energy preparing for this battle. No one was born a hero, and no one dared to say that he could defeat a generation of heroes who had almost won every battle on the grassland at that time without any experience.

Therefore, anyone can imagine that for this battle, Zhu Houzhao would have spent countless efforts in half his life to constantly revise the combat plan, understand the military system of the Ming Dynasty, and be familiar with the state of the surrounding garrisons. Even when he was far away in the capital, he had already figured out the quality of every general in the border town.

This requires countless accumulations and takes countless time. Many times, dominating the battlefield is just a few days of glory, but behind this glory is ten years of hard work.

Therefore, Fang Jifan had to admit that Zhu Houzhao was a very smart, but very patient, firm and persistent person.

He decided to know one thing, three thousand beauties in the harem, and his will and the hard persuasion of the ministers could not shake his determination. He could spend his whole life on one thing, and he had great vision, believing that the court's hatred for the Ola tribe would inevitably lead to the rise of the Tatar tribe. Once the Tatar tribe could not be severely damaged, sooner or later, the Ming Dynasty would pay a heavy price.

He must have a strong tolerance. He may be able to stay in the map for a day. In order to familiarize himself with the generals of the border town and the deployment of troops from various departments, he can look back and forth through countless information from border towns, and even forget to eat and sleep.

Just like...he did at Xishan Academy.

He is not stupid, he is just simple stubborn.

It was actually... seen through by this kid.

Fang Jifan smiled bitterly in his heart, but he still kept smiling, and then denied it.

Zhu Houzhao didn't care, and seemed to have no emotional fluctuations because of Fang Jifan's denial. He smiled: "No matter who you are, it doesn't matter. You are Lao Fang, I am Xiao Zhu Xiucai, and we are brothers. But... why do you want to raise pigs? What do you mean? I always feel that you deliberately bury me."

When talking about pig farming, Zhu Houzhao began to whine, and Fang Jifan felt that he looked like Peppa Pig.

Since His Royal Highness had made peace with His heart, Fang Jifan had to express his thoughts obediently: "Your Highness, what is the purpose of farming?"

"Everyone has food to eat."

Fang Jifan smiled and said, "But in the future, if the grain yields are increased in large quantities, everyone will have food to eat?"

"..." Zhu Houzhao tilted her head and began to think about it.

Seeing that the warmer pavilion was about to arrive, Fang Jifan told him the answer: "Then, if people want to eat meat, they can't take it seriously for their whole life. Whether it is cattle and sheep, it is not suitable for being raised in captivity. The meat yield rate is too low. In the future, we will have a lot of surplus grain. With surplus grain, we can convert it into meat. Only when people eat meat can they have a strong body. With a strong body, the foundation of the future of the Ming Dynasty."

"You mean... for us to sweep the desert in the future..." Zhu Houzhao's eyes glowed.

Fang Jifan looked at Zhu Houzhao with a smile: "After the reign of Wenjing, Emperor Wu will sweep the Huns. If there is no reign of Wenjing, where will Huo Qubing come from? Behind a champion is a mountain of food and grass, there are countless strong men."

"Your Highness regards me as a brother, and I also regard me as a brother. This sentence is my heartfelt words. It can be guaranteed by personality." Fang Jifan looked very sincere, and his true feelings were revealed in his eyes.

Zhu Houzhao put his hands behind his back and became interested: "You continue talking, come on, don't go to see your father first. We will appreciate each other, find a place to talk carefully first."

"This...is not good."

Zhu Houzhao said excitedly: "I heard the truth in the morning and died in the evening. Don't scholars say that?"

“…”

Looking for a hall corridor, Fang Jifan continued, "Then, now, a strange phenomenon has come from the sky. My Ming Dynasty is exhausted by this strange celestial phenomenon. I don't know how many refugees have appeared. Why is this? The grain production is reduced and I can't eat. People can't eat, so they have to find another way out. The court is trying to find a way out, and the refugees are also seeking survival. If the court does not provide them with relief, they have to rebel."

"What about the desert? The little prince of the Tatar tribe has been completely unfair to me in Daming for a few years, but this year, why did he raid Jinzhou? This is because the Ming Dynasty lacks food, and there are food in every part of the world. In this place of all directions, no matter which monarch, country, or tribe, under this strange celestial phenomena, they are all seeking a way out. People... are forced out. If they have no food, they will kill and rob. The world has already entered a troublesome autumn."

"So, I am in the West Mountain, trying to make sweet potatoes, potatoes, and pigs. In fact... I am making complete preparations for that day. Since the weather began to change a few years ago, the Ming Dynasty wanted to maintain the country and the people who wanted to survive, they must make complete preparations."

" Raising pigs means raw meat. With meat, the people will not be weak and strengthen their bodies... Does Your Highness understand what I mean?"

Zhu Houzhao nodded.

"Then what?"

Fang Jifan thought about it and did not continue talking.

Because in the future, it’s better to follow the development slowly. It’s too early to say this now.

Those who claim to travel through time, when they returned to ancient times, screamed to develop industry and commerce or colonize the protagonists of the world, Fang Jifan was too lazy to deal with it.

In history, every military and civilian living here is a living person. They are flesh and blood. You can’t even eat enough. The family only has a pair of pants to meet guests. It’s too late to work hard. You dare to allocate a large amount of labor to industry and commerce, thinking that you don’t die fast enough?

Even if someone is a brainless person, he still knows that in this era, the imperial court focused on agriculture and over commerce. On the surface, it had a ridiculous and stubborn theoretical support, but in fact, it was the best choice. It was not rich in products but had a large population. The yield rate of per mulberry is so low, any labor force that can cultivate land is precious. Everyone knows that industry and commerce can generate profits. The ancients were not stupid, and they also knew that the same piece of land, planting mulberry trees, raising silkworms and growing silk, and producing silk. The price of this silk is ten times a hundred times higher than that of growing grain. But no matter how much money you have, what's the use of weaving silk? This is a land that habitually calls out that kings, princes, generals and ministers will not have enough plantings. No ruling group can maintain a rule of more than three hundred years. There is no high-yield grain or rich supply of meat. It is a rash to play this, which is asking for death.

As for those who often want to defeat the world and rub against the world on the earth, they also ignore the main problems of society.

The military and civilians want to have a full meal, but don’t want to go hungry. They want to live a peaceful life, want to have all their strength and support the whole family. Why do they have to die for the rest of their lives? Follow you deep into the desert to imitate Qin Emperor and Han Wu? Just to be excited and shout "The Great Han Power" and shout "The mighty man." What are their benefits? Get a barren land, and then?

The civil and military officials in the court, including Emperor Hongzhi, were not a fool, and the gentry and scholars all over the world were also a fool. They bound the surrounding tribes and used the tribute system to maintain the dignity of the Celestial Kingdom. In essence, it was not because of fear of war, but because... they could not find the reason for war.

Zhu Houzhao is a person who was born in the wrong era.

In other words, the current production system cannot tolerate such a prince or the future emperor at all.

Society must develop step by step, first with high-yield food as a memorial service, and then it must ensure that there is also output in the desert. It is necessary for people to see that in that barren land, food can be produced from the ground, so that people will flock to it, and that people will know that in the vast ocean, there are countless rare treasures that can be counted, so that people will be willing to go into the sea without fear of storms.

Fang Jifan stared at Zhu Houzhao: "Your Highness just need to understand that in today's world, if you want to get out of Huo Qubing, you have to raise pigs first."

Zhu Hou took care of Fang Jifan and felt like this guy was lying to me.

Finally, he was happy: "Believe in you once!"

……………………

In the warm chalet.

Emperor Hongzhi's smile gradually disappeared.

Just half an hour ago, someone had reported that the prince and Xinjianbo had entered the palace.

He was still happy, but when he waited, he calculated in his mind that this time was enough to make a few round trips from the Meridian Gate to the Warehouse.

That rebellious son...

What did you do?

Emperor Hongzhi's face was covered with clouds.

Finally, an eunuch walked in quickly: "Your Majesty, the prince will meet with Xin Jianbo."

"Come in."

Zhu Houzhao and Fang Jifan entered the warm pavilion one by one, and Zhu Houzhao subconsciously put on a pitiful look.

Fang Jifan sighed in his heart, Sure enough, dogs can't change their eating*.

"My son has met his father."

"minister……"

Emperor Hongzhi waved his hand. He wanted to get angry, but after seeing Zhu Houzhao and Fang Jifan, his anger disappeared.

These two guys looked like they suffered a lot, they were dark and thin, and Fang Jifan was better, but Zhu Houzhao was miserable, as if he had suddenly become a few years older.

Emperor Hongzhi's eyes softened a little: "Come here, please sit."
