Chapter 446: Reward
Of course, the Japanese guards can ignore the maritime ban.
Because the Japanese guards themselves are police uncles, they specialize in investigating bad guys who went into the sea.
However, Emperor Hongzhi's decree was equivalent to giving Zhenguo Mansion the identity of the Japanese guards to legally fish.
This... is the most terrifying thing.
The Japanese guards were not doing their jobs and sent them to fish. They took advantage of the disaster in Ningbo, and during this extraordinary period, they caught fish and came out to help the people.
But you can't go fishing all day long in the name of attacking Japanese pirates.
Now it's OK.
Zhu Houzhao and Fang Jifan looked at each other, and smiled in their eyes.
Deep in their hearts, there was a feeling of a traitor.
Because there is too much room for operation here.
For example... I need more ships to prepare for the Japanese guards. After all, I have to prepare for the Japanese guards. So, will the imperial court give it to you?
The court can't afford it, can we make it ourselves?
Very good. Zhenguo Mansion sold so many fish, some of them were silver. If you accidentally build too many ships, what should you do if you build too many ships? The more ships, the more fish you catch. Not to mention profits, just talking about these fish that are caught can benefit the people on the coast?
Emperor Hongzhi was obviously well aware of this, so he would definitely not interfere.
In addition, the fleet needs manpower, right? The rank is 3,000 people. It is not full yet. Even if it is full, you can use temporary workers. Oh, no, recruit idlers, right?
This is the preparation of the Japanese guards of Zhenguo Mansion. His Royal Highness is responsible for everything. Who dares to talk too much?
To fish, you need a stronger fishing net, a large number of people who are proficient in navigation, and even more sophisticated ships.
This is just like the Francos, who are becoming more and more powerful, have gained huge benefits in the process of great geographical discovery. Driven by this benefit, the entire Francos, the smartest people, revolve around building ships, improving ships, and improving weapons services, so their ships are becoming more and more sophisticated.
As for the Ming Dynasty, the navy was still relying on the support of the government, the navy recruited people, and the military households were entitled to serve as soldiers, and defended the coast to prevent Japanese pirates. Imagine that a group of officers and soldiers who only rely on salary were really motivated to sacrifice themselves to defend the coast? Will a group of officials who could do nothing wrong spend their time supervising more ships? A group of craftsmen from the official manufacturing bureau, who do good or bad, only make money. Can they improve ships?
None, because there is not enough profit-driven.
If Zhenguo Prefecture uses the big yellow croaker as its first pot of gold and obtains huge benefits, then more and more smart people will be willing to join it. The more refined the ships of the Japanese guards, the deeper they can go into the sea. The better the structure of the ships, the more they can withstand the wind and waves, and catch more fish. Therefore, whoever can build a more sophisticated ship will receive the most rewards from Zhenguo Prefecture. Excellent talents are willing to devote themselves to the huge industrial chain of Zhenguo Prefecture's Japanese guards and serve it.
Of course, the most important thing is to train the team.
Now Fang Jifan is asked to build a navy that is facing Japanese pirates or even Franchise people. Fang Jifan has no confidence because in this Ming Dynasty, most people have been in the Ming Dynasty for too long and have not known what the ocean is. A group of land ducks on the land, even if they are given excellent ships, they cannot use them skillfully.
Entering the vast ocean is a great subject, which requires slow grinding and slow practice. All of this starts with fishing, and recruits a group of people who have been poor since the 18th generation of ancestors. These people are the most courageous and fearless people. In their bones, they have a sense of ruthlessness to eat and do whatever they want.
In addition, it is to give them hope and even give them dignity.
These officers and soldiers who were in charge of the Japanese guard duty must be treated well. They will be different from other military households. They are proud because although they are also Qiu Ba, they can make a lot of profits. They will be the first to dig out the first pot of gold.
It all...starts with fishing.
Emperor Hongzhi sighed a little: "Fang Qing family, I still have something to do, I want to ask clearly."
Fang Jifan said: "Please tell me your Majesty."
Emperor Hongzhi was silent for a moment: "I still don't understand why this big yellow croaker can be salvaged so much."
This is a trade secret, and I can't say it.
Nowadays, only Fang Jifan and Tang Yin are the only ones who master the knocking skills. Although the others know that knocking can knock fish, the rhythm and rhythm of them are a big question. To put it bluntly, although the big yellow croaker is easy to be deceived, it is not just knocking casually. People are stupid enough to bump into them in the middle of winter. There are no such two fish in the world.
Fang Jifan thought for a while and said, "Unify knowledge and action."
"What?" Emperor Hongzhi was stunned.
The monarch and ministers like to listen to the great principles, so they don’t care about the details. Fang Jifan was also afraid to tell them the details. This skill of knocking the boat was a temporary magic weapon for the Japanese guards: "All this comes from the unity of knowledge and action. What is knowledge? If you want to benefit the people and implement benevolent government, you are knowledge. I am such a conscience. When I think about the people’s hardships, I will not be willing to eat. This... is not the way of a saint?"
"But knowledge is not enough. In this world, everyone is a saint, everyone has a conscience, everyone knows that Confucius said to be benevolence, and Meng said to be righteous. But how to realize one's conscience? Then, in order to do it, you need to find a way to solve the problem. I have read many ancient books in ancient and modern times, and only then can I know that in a certain country at the end of the world, I used this technique to catch fish. Therefore, I felt like I had found a treasure and immediately ordered people to practice it. Sure enough... it really happened."
“…”
Emperor Hongzhi was very satisfied with this answer.
The other ministers also sounded very comfortable.
Although they may not all accept new learning, at least, this answer contains both the principles of saints and the reading, which is very suitable for their preferences.
Except for the fact that Fang Jifan claims that he has a conscience, there is no problem.
Emperor Hongzhi suddenly became interested: "Where is that ancient book?"
Fang Jifan's heart skipped a beat. Damn, do you have to make a fake ancient book when I go back: "Your Majesty, it's burned."
"Burning?" Emperor Hongzhi frowned.
Fang Jifan said: "After seeing it, I saw it. It happened that I was idle and burned fire and had fun, so I burned it."
This reason is very good at Fang Jifan.
It's true.
If someone else said such a reason, everyone would not believe it, but Fang Jifan said it without any sense of incongruity.
Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help but sigh, a little melancholy, and he cheered up: "This time, Ningbo Prefect and the guards of the Japanese have made great contributions. What is the name of this Ningbo Prefect?"
Li Dongyang said: "Wen Yansheng."
Emperor Hongzhi said lightly: "Give him a flying fish suit. Tang Yin was the editor and ordered him to be the editor to continue to govern the Zhenguo Mansion to prepare for the affairs of the Japanese guards. As for others... Is there someone named Hu Kaishan?"
"Yes, Father." Zhu Houzhao said.
Emperor Hongzhi already knew about Hu Kaishan's deeds.
Such turbulent people are now willing to serve the court. Emperor Hongzhi didn't like such people at first, but he couldn't resist his son's preference. Moreover, the court granted military officers a lot of positions, and hereditary military positions were everywhere in the army: "I ordered him to be appointed as a thousand-household official in the Japanese guards to be appointed as a hundred-household official."
After Emperor Hongzhi said this, he felt relieved: "Also, in the future, please send yellow croakers. If it is spread, it sounds bad. If you send fish for thousands of miles, wouldn't this be a concubine riding the red dust? No one knows that it is lychees coming. Next time, I won't allow it."
Zhu Houzhao winked and said, "The son-in-law mainly asked someone to send it to his father and let him taste it. Moreover, the father's health is not good. Eating more of this fish will be good for his health."
"Ah." Emperor Hongzhi looked surprised: "So this is filial piety. If so, it seems to be up for discussion. Well... let's just do it..."
He quickly changed the topic. Emperor Hongzhi licked his mouth, and the smell of fish was still in his mouth. He then said, "Your mother also loves to eat fish, didn't you send it?"
"I've given it." Zhu Houzhao said.
Fang Jifan thought to himself: "I gave it to his sister." Fang Jifan felt happy when he thought of Zhu Xiurong having fish to eat.
If you like someone, you hope you will give it to her if you have anything good.
As for whether she knew it was her own intention, it didn't matter.
Who is Fang Jifan?
Emperor Hongzhi then sighed: "I thought this Tang Yin was just talented, but now it seems that this is not the case. Fang Jifan, among your disciples, besides Ouyang Zhi, you can count this Tang Yin, which is very good."
Fang Jifan smiled and said, "My five disciples..."
"Aren't there six?" Emperor Hongzhi looked at Fang Jifan strangely.
Fang Jifan was stunned and counted with his fingers: Ouyang Zhi, Tang Yin, Liu Wenshan, Jiang Chen, Wang Shouren, this is... Oh, there is another one, I almost forgot. Fang Jifan suddenly felt a little bit of pain in his heart, and there was another one, Xu Jing, who almost forgot him. He was really wronged. As a teacher, he always valued him very much.
I just don’t know if he is still alive now. If he dies, I will definitely be very sad.
"Yes, there are six. Among the six disciples of me, Tang Yin is nothing. He is too nerdy and cannot bear the praise of His Majesty."
Emperor Hongzhi smiled: "No need to be humble. This Tang Yin is also a material that can be made. You can write a book and let him do things well. I will remember him."
"I obey the order."
Speaking of this, since Fang Jifan's disciple mentioned, someone remembered something: "Xinjian Bo, Xu Jing, has been in nearly two years, and there has been no news. Is he..."
The person who spoke was Ma Wensheng. Ma Wensheng's face was full of worries. Now Xu Jing had no news. He was thinking about whether he would continue to send ships to inquire about the Western waters. But... it was too long. The court allocated so much money and food. If Xu Jing didn't come back, he, as the Minister of War, could not do it. He still didn't know what he would be scolded by the officials in the court.
