When Xiao Jing saw Emperor Hongzhi, he burst into tears, so even Fang Jifan couldn't help but sigh.

Finally, Emperor Hongzhi was naturally happy after finding Xiao Jing. He stayed in Nanjing for some time. Xishan Money House accepted the land and made a series of arrangements, and began to list the list without rent.

Although Jiangnan is a land of fish and rice, it is also full of people and land. It is not like the north. Each household can rent thirty or fifty acres of land, and it would be nice to have ten or eight acres of acres.

Now the people are snatching rent, but they have also made a lot of jokes and chaos.

Hangzhou Prefecture reported that it was because a village despised that the land they rented was not as good as the neighboring village, so it actually launched an armed fight, killing two strong men. Some people also complained that they had too little land and that the money house only rented the households, but each household had a different population, which was unfair.

Such farces may only take one or two per prefecture and county, but they can accumulate into a lot of them. When they report to Emperor Hongzhi, there are quite a lot of them.

Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help but smile bitterly when he saw the report.

Good governance may not be able to make everyone happy.

He called Fang Jifan. Seeing His Majesty's frowning look, Fang Jifan said, "Your Majesty, this is only a few after all. There is nothing in the world that can be perfect. There are people here who make unreasonable troubles, but some are indeed the mistakes of Xishan Money House. If you want to make mistakes, it is a good thing as long as there is no chaos in general."

Emperor Hongzhi nodded: "I have to do this. Do you know what the prince did in the capital by resurrection? "

This topic is very fast, but...

Fang Jifan looked surprised, and then his heart tightened. Could it be that my house would be burned?

"Your Majesty, what's wrong with the prince?" Fang Jifan's voice was filled with a hint of nervousness.

Emperor Hongzhi said with a tense face: "I am still asking you, and you are still asking me. It is because there is no news and there is no word in this report that I come to ask you."

Fang Jifan finally breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that nothing happened, it would be fine if nothing happened.

His mood suddenly stretched out again, so Fang Jifan laughed: "Your Majesty, the Crown Prince is extremely smart and loves the people as much as his son. Now that your Majesty is traveling far away, your Highness will still be peaceful in the world. This is nothing, and it is the greatest good governance. The so-called warriors have no great achievements, which is like this."

After hearing this, Emperor Hongzhi laughed and said, "You are the ones who are all right, but I have been away from Beijing for so many days, but I am still a little worried. Jiangnan has finally eliminated the hidden dangers, so I can rest assured."

As he said that, he continued to cheer up: "In a few days, go back to Beijing and pass on the orders of the Nanjing ministries to tell them... I don't have to send you off or disturb the people."

Fang Jifan also felt that it was reasonable and he responded one by one.

Then he said goodbye, but he happened to meet the British Duke Zhang Mao. Zhang Mao was old, and the silver hair on his head was visible to the naked eye, like a hero in his twilight years. Although he was still full of energy, he still could not resist the erosion of time.

When he met Fang Jifan, the British Duke slapped his hand on Fang Jifan's shoulder: "The Duke of Wei has arrived in Nanjing. When he met me, he said yes... Thanks to you this time, if you hadn't said good words before His Majesty..."

Zhang Mao did not continue talking.

Fang Jifan smiled: "Beautiful words are beautiful words, and they are dry and dry. There is no way. After all,... my nephew has a conscience."

"You." Zhang Mao shook his head and said, "I don't know how to be modest. Look at me, I'm very cautious. This is the way to be a minister and a child. Although I am not with Your Majesty, this time, Your Majesty wants to sacrifice to Xiaoling again, the first thing that comes to mind is me."

Fang Jifan immediately said, "I don't plan to go to the sacrifices all day long."

As he said that, he ran away cleverly. Zhang Mao wanted to chase him, but sadly discovered that he could always lift this slippery head up at the time. How could this kid escape his Five Finger Mountain? But now... his waist and legs seem to be slow.

So he had to keep smiling bitterly and shook his head: "I'm old, I'm old, how could he run away when I was young?"

Immediately afterwards, he tried hard to cheer up and headed towards Emperor Hongzhi's journey.

…………

Three days later, the weather was already cold. Although the cold wind in Jiangnan was not as cut as the capital, it was also very cold and unique. The wet coldness was always everywhere. Emperor Hongzhi missed the heating of the capital.

Of course, this early morning, Emperor Hongzhi got up early.

I was already busy here. Duke Wei and Duke of England were serving outside early, and Xiao Jing also stood under the corridor in the cold wind in the morning.

Teams of guards, with bright flags and still energetic spirits, have been waiting outside silently.

Emperor Hongzhi came out and got on the carriage. The carriage slowly walked. After a while, Emperor Hongzhi ordered Fang Jifan to join the carriage, and Fang Jifan got into the carriage.

Today... it's time to return to Beijing.

After lingering in the south of the Yangtze River for so long, Emperor Hongzhi has become more and more heart-to-heart.

It was so warm in the carriage that Fang Jifan accompanied Emperor Hongzhi and poured a cup of tea for Emperor Hongzhi in the carriage.

Emperor Hongzhi nodded and picked up the teacup. He said lightly: "Every winter, when the cold wind blows, I feel more and more that I have worked hard and my energy is always worse than before. I wake up early in the morning every day, but I still feel sleepy. If I take a break, my spirit will not last long."

Fang Jifan said: "My son will feel sore back when he gets up occasionally. Your Majesty, this is a common thing. My Majesty thinks that your Majesty doesn't have to worry. When you return to the capital and drink more fish oil, your body will be strong."

Emperor Hongzhi looked at Fang Jifan strangely: "Jifan is sore when he is young?"

"this……"

Seeing Fang Jifan's embarrassment, Emperor Hongzhi smiled and did not continue to look at it. He said to himself: "Last night, some troubles broke out. This matter of rent-free and land distribution is at stake, and it makes sense for the people to make trouble."

Although he expressed his understanding, Emperor Hongzhi seemed depressed.

Fang Jifan was able to understand Emperor Hongzhi's feelings.

It is obviously a good governance, and the people can benefit from it, and even in the future, it can greatly alleviate hunger. It can be said to be a precedent in history, but the people still only look at the benefits in front of them, making a fuss. Who is Your Majesty? How can you be happy when you see this situation?

Fang Jifan simply did not make any noise. Emperor Hongzhi seemed to be tired again, and did not continue talking. He lay half on the sofa, covered with a thin quilt, and closed his eyes to calm down.

Along the way, the wheels of the carriage turned, with only the occasional horse's hooves and the sound of venting. It was still early at this time, but it was only at the hour of Mao. The sky outside was still unable to see the five fingers. Emperor Hongzhi took a break and got up, and said in a daze: "Where have you been?"

"Your Majesty, you haven't left the city yet."

Emperor Hongzhi said strangely: "It's time for three o'clock. At this time, why are there no lights outside the carriage and horse?"

This is a very strange thing.

Emperor Hongzhi always likes to get up early, and sometimes he would climb the tower to see the distance. Nanjing is extraordinary. It is the old capital, with a large population and extremely prosperous. Logically speaking, at this time, even if there are no lights in thousands of families, there will always be many lights. Emperor Hongzhi's carriage, with the curtains and outside the glass window, almost no lights were seen, as if it was midnight, silent like death.

Fang Jifan couldn't make any name for himself. He asked him about the wrong person in the early morning.

Emperor Hongzhi has recovered his spirit: "Where is this?"

Fang Jifan had no clue and shook his head straightforwardly.

Emperor Hongzhi sighed, "You have lived there for a lot of days, how could you not know? Turning right on the Duke of Wei's mansion, it is the Gongyuan, then it is Confucius Temple, and then it is Yongqing Lane, along Yongqing Lane... Forget it, I am so drowsy here, get off the car and walk around, I am afraid that I will leave the city at this time."

Emperor Hongzhi ordered the carriage to stop and got out of the carriage. Xiao Jing accompanied him outside the carriage and immediately helped him. As soon as Emperor Hongzhi fell to the ground, he saw Xiao Jing's strange look on his face.

Emperor Hongzhi frowned and looked around, but then he was shocked.

In the darkness, the streets along the way were filled with people. People knelt on the side of the road without making any sound. There was no light of fire in the courtyards and streets along the way. When the cold wind blew, Emperor Hongzhi shuddered. Even the heavy clothes on his body could not resist the cold wind. But in the darkness, the figure kneeling beside the road was motionless.

Emperor Hongzhi frowned and looked at Xiao Jing: "Who arranged it?"

"This...this..." Xiao Jing shook his head: "I don't know."

Emperor Hongzhi frowned again. He saw a curled up and small body beside the road. This was a little girl, who was seven or eight years old, and she knelt beside the road in a daze. Her little hand was grabbed on the road paved by the Yuhua Stone. Although she couldn't see clearly, Emperor Hongzhi seemed to be able to see that her little hand was already purple and frozen.

Emperor Hongzhi quickly stepped forward, went to the little girl, and said, "Get up."

The girl raised her face that was red from the cold, looked at Emperor Hongzhi, then looked at her parents beside her, and shook her head: "Grandpa said he couldn't get up."

"You grandpa asked you to come?"

The girl nodded.

“What are you doing?”

"Send the emperor... The emperor came to Jiangnan and exempted us from renting land, so that we could have food and clothing. Grandpa said, we should be grateful, otherwise it would be worse than beasts. The emperor is leaving today, and we came to see him off early in the morning. Grandpa also said, the emperor is old and will definitely be very sleepy when he gets up so early. He should not disturb his sleep. He also told my mother not to hold the lights before dawn, but it is dark here in the middle of winter, so I am very afraid."

Emperor Hongzhi looked at the child. There were many people behind him, and he couldn't tell who his grandfather was, but at this moment, Emperor Hongzhi was stunned.
