Xiao Jing returned to his normal complexion and smiled: "Your Majesty, the slave and maid really have nothing to hide, the slave and the maid have been with Your Majesty for so many years, doesn't Your Majesty know who the slave and maid are, the slave and maid, cowardly." ”

Emperor Hongzhi pondered for a moment, and didn't seem to be able to catch anything, just nodded: "Do things well, don't always fugue, I know that you are not young, and I always let you be on duty by my side, it is hard work for you." ”

"It's not hard, it's not hard." Xiao Jing waved his hand again and again.

Emperor Hongzhi had no choice but to smile and didn't say anything more.

Xiao Jing took advantage of His Majesty's nap and went out of the hall, he had something on his mind, these days, he felt uneasy, thinking carefully about the answer between himself and Zeng Jie, everything was plausible, and he didn't seem to have any handle, but this kind of thing, I'm afraid.

Hurried to the Cabinet Statistics Division.

As usual, he was here to assist Fang Xiaofan, the statistics department, to coordinate the relationship between the factory and the guard.

Fang Xiaofan's face tightened, looking at the data at hand intently, completely ignoring Xiao Jing.

The people of this Fang family are all virtuous, and their emotional intelligence is low.

Such a person, if he didn't have the surname Fang, would have offended everyone in the world a long time ago, and he didn't know how to die.

Xiao Jing thought sadly, but such a person is now under one person, under ten thousand people, in this life, in vain.

Ay......

He groaned deeply in his heart.

Fang Xiaofan noticed Xiao Jing after a while, and asked indifferently.

"Grandpa Xiao, are you here? Is there something wrong? ”

Xiao Jing smiled, but it seemed that all of a sudden, his body was weak, but his body shook a little, and with a groan, his body was about to fall.

Seeing this, Fang Xiaofan subconsciously supported him.

At first glance, Xiao Jing seemed to faint.

So Fang Xiaofan pinched his people, and pinched Xiao Jing's thigh.

"Ahh

He looked around in confusion and asked with a puzzled expression.

"Where are we?"

"Grandpa Xiao, you just fainted."

"So, you saved us?"

Fang Xiaofan thought for a moment and nodded, it seemed like this.

Xiao Jing became intimate all of a sudden. Tears poured down her face: "The grace of saving lives, this is the grace of saving lives." ”

Fang Xiaofan: "......"

"In our life, we have never received favors from anyone, except for the emperor, it is you who are from Fangshe......... You...... Not to mention, our old bones, the people who are about to die, have no relatives, in this palace, we are destined to die alone, if it weren't for the Fang She people, you saved us, we ...... Let's ......"

As he spoke, snot and tears began to wipe on Fang Xiaofan's body.

Fang Xiaofan, who was ignorant of the world, didn't know how to answer him, just stared at Xiao Jing with his eyes.

"This is the grace of recreation, otherwise, let's ...... No, slave, no...... Speaking of which, I think that at the beginning, Liu Jin also recognized us as a godfather, and now, Liu Jin is the grandson of Brother Ling, so if you count it. Xiao Jing pinched his fingers: "You are my mother's generation." ”

What the?

People of Xiao Jingniang's generation?

Where's this?

Fang Xiaofan was surprised and wanted to hit someone.

Xiao Jing said from the bottom of his heart: "The child is brave, I can call you...... Mother? ”

Fang Xiaofan shook his head as if he was rattling.

Xiao Jing said: "Children have a lot of delicious and fun food. ”

Fang Xiaofan didn't seem to be interested in any of this, his dark eyes rolled, and he asked, "Do you have money, do you have land?" ”

"Yes. Don't hide it...... Xiao Jing was excited to jump up, he was about to scream, but he suddenly looked around cautiously: "It's not a secret, there are a lot of them." ”

"Then I promised, you give me the money." Fang Xiaofan said very simply.

Xiao Jing's heart hurt like a prick, I thought that it would be easier to start with children, but now it seems that it ......

He smiled and said, "Mother......"

"Hey......" Fang Xiaofan responded and stretched out his hand towards Xiao Jing: "What about the money." ”

Xiao Jing bitter gourd face: "You can't be so blatant, quietly, we are quiet people, the wall in the palace has ears, mother...... No wonder when we first met you, we felt very familiar and cordial, it turned out that we still have this relationship. ”

Fang Xiaofan tilted his head and thought for a while: "Then when are you going to give me the money?" ”

Xiao Jing: "......"

…………

exhaled, and finally coaxed the little aunt and grandmother.

As a last resort, Xiao Jing would not do such indiscriminate things, he consciously felt that he was not Liu Jin's boneless thing, he was a eunuch with a backbone.

But it's coming to an end.

Now, the Fang family's side is suppressed.

If you want to come to His Royal Highness the Prince, you won't continue to pursue it.

Zeng Jie is in the edict prison, as long as the prince and the prince of Qi don't ask, then ......

…………

A huge planning drawing has appeared in Suncheon Fu Yin.

Zhu Houzhao put his hands behind his back and looked at the map very seriously, and the whole person looked energetic.

Fang Jifan also looked up at Yutu.

"The Yamen of Shuntian Mansion is here." Zhu Houzhao pointed out: "The scale must be large, the more nosy things to manage, the better, Shuntianfu is a big yamen, and the next divisions are small yamen, and the stars and moons are general, with this big yamen as the main body, the cost, don't worry, the palace has silver, Lao Fang, what do you want to say." ”

"I don't have much to say." Fang Jifan shook his head and sighed: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is a big man, and he is really not an ordinary person. ”

"Of course, didn't you say at the beginning that if you don't make decisions for the people, you might as well go home and sell sweet potatoes? This palace has figured it out, this palace has to go to the victims outside the Fifth Ring Road to make the decision, otherwise, I'm sorry for so many people, this palace will never give up on them, by the way, how many registered officials are there in Shuntian Mansion? ”

Fang Jifan said: "Up and down, there are more than 90 people. ”

Zhu Houzhao nodded: "There are so many old officials, and new officials will be recruited in the future, it is really not easy for such a big family to migrate." When the time comes, they will go there to work, will there be any inconvenience. ”

Fang Jifan sighed and said: "Serving the imperial court, there will always be sacrifices, such as the minister, the minister is ready to take root outside the Fifth Ring Road from now on, and regard it as his home, and the minister's land has been purchased, and a large courtyard will be built." As for the other officials, I think they will be able to understand His Highness's painstaking efforts, and the cost of two hours is nothing, and the carriage and horse expenses are only more than three hundred and seventy yuan, and at most a dozen taels of silver in a month. If it doesn't work, they can go there and buy a house. The ministers have already told people to calculate, not to mention the officials of Shuntianfu, those old officials, who have money, are hidden, and the merchants along the way usually have to give them filial piety tea money, but unfortunately, although the court has a Beijing inspection of the Beijing officials, but they are all blind to the officials, and I heard that many scribes secretly partner with people to do business, and the ministers have long been unaccustomed to it. ”

Zhu Houzhao's eyes lit up: "As soon as you say this, the palace will be relieved, this time, we are going to do a big thing." ”

Fang Jifan said: "I still think about it, and I want to move the Jingfu over." ”

Zhu Houzhao said: "The yamen of the palace have also been moved, but unfortunately, the Zhan Mansion cannot be moved." ”

"With the yamen, there must be roads, stadiums, theaters, and schools......"

Zhu Houzhao held his chin and said very seriously, he was afraid of missing something.

Fang Jifan felt that Zhu Houzhao was hopeless.

In order to pay off his debts, this guy has reached the point of madness.

It's hateful, our successor has made a bad start.

Zhu Houzhao said, but remembered something: "By the way, Lao Fang, you just said Jingfu, your Jingfu, how are things now, this palace is still thinking, Liu Jin's dog thing, has been out to sea for more than half a year, so far, I haven't seen him, and I don't know if he is dead or alive." ”

Fang Jifan spread his hands: "I don't know, Your Highness, it is up to people to succeed in the sky, and the ministers are only responsible for sending them out, as for the matter of life and death, it is really beyond the reach of the whip." ”

………………

On a desert island, many ships docked here.

A fleet of ships trading with the Far East of the Northern Province was entrenched here.

Nominally, these merchant ships belonged to a Dutchman.

The so-called Northern Province is actually the famous Netherlands.

At that time, the Habsburgs ruled the whole of Spain, the Netherlands and Austria, and the reigning Karl V was the most powerful person in Francis at this time.

Because it was located between France and the domains of the Holy Roman princes, the Northern Province served as a buffer zone between the Habsburgs and France, and a nail in the coffin for the northern HRE.

France and the Habsburgs, although hostile, maintained a certain tacit understanding.

The position of the Northern Province has become particularly important.

Because of being sandwiched between various powers, coupled with the great voyage, the sea power of the Mediterranean began to gradually weaken, and famous commercial cities such as Venice gradually lost their old aura, while the Dutch region of the Northern Province of the Kingdom of Spain suddenly began to become prosperous with the establishment of maritime trade.

Portugal, Spain, France, the British on the other side of the Channel, and even the Norsemen, all their goods were distributed here, and countless merchants poured into it, and the wealth of the colonies was squandered here.

It was almost a paradise for merchants, and the ships that came in and out of the port every day were innumerable, and the great voyages brought the wealth of the world here, and the nobles who benefited from it then bought French luxuries, exchanged fine leather goods from the Norsemen, and bought wool from the British.

And now......

A Dutch merchant began to visit some of his associates.

The Dutch businessman saw a business opportunity as soon as he saw the tulips, and everyone was stunned when he showed his customers a flower that had never been seen before.

Purple petals, intoxicating.

Many of the ladies present looked at the wife of the Dutch merchant, who was pinned with such a precious flower in her dress.

All of a sudden, she became the most eye-catching person in the entire salon.
